"The old lady must have gone in her sleep last night, and the expression on her face was very peaceful."

Qingyang County, Linfu Street Bridgehead, in the mourning hall of the Gu family's old house.

Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang listened to the words of their old neighbors, and there was a little comfort in their sad moods.

There is no painful departure, which is already considered a lucky thing.

The old lady's departure was sudden, but it was not too unexpected for them.

After all, the old lady is almost eighty years old this year, which is considered a long life expectancy in this era.

In the old mansion, the mourning hall has been arranged, and the neighbors who come and go, Gu Anguo's relatives and friends, came to the scene one after another to mourn after receiving the news.

Lan Shu came a little later than her in-laws, and when she received the news, she immediately sent a car to arrive, and it was already night when she arrived in Qingyang County.

Lan Shu, as her granddaughter-in-law, kowtowed respectfully to the old lady's coffin, and then burned incense and paper on the side.

At this time, Xiaobai is still on the way to come, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come over until early tomorrow morning at the earliest.

When the old lady died, Gu Anguo also told his eldest son.

What Gu Cheng did at the beginning, although he no longer recognized this son, but Gu Cheng is the grandson of the old lady, no matter whether Gu Cheng comes or not, the news should always be known to him.

It's a pity that Gu Anguo didn't expect his eldest son's hard-heartedness.

Even if Gu Cheng had been following the old lady and being raised by the old lady before he was eight years old, when he grew up, Gu Cheng had more interests in his heart, and his family affection was already very weak.

Gu Cheng didn't want to see his other family members, so even if he received a call and received the news, he wouldn't come here to see his own grandmother one last time.

This night, Gu Anguo, who was his son, was on the side, and Wei Qiushuang stayed up with her husband until three or four o'clock in the night.

Lan Shu didn't stay too late, and was urged by her in-laws to let her rest early at twelve o'clock.

Although her house in Qingyang County was not far from the Gu family's old house, only a few minutes' walk, she didn't go back.

Instead, he found a random place to sit in the old mansion and squint.

Although the relationship between Lan Shu and the old lady is not deep, this is also a relative, and she really can't go back to sleep with peace of mind when her relatives die.

Stay here by yourself, and after resting for a while, you can replace your in-laws and help guard for a while.

The rules of keeping the spirit, the candles are always bright, the incense candles are continuous, and for several days and nights, there are no people in the mourning hall.

…

Early the next morning, when the sky was just dawning, Xiaobai arrived in Qingyang County.

This time, he had already gone halfway through a business trip before he learned the news of the old lady's absence.

At that time, he was on the train, and he could only get off the train early from the nearest station, and then bought the earliest ticket back to Linjiang City, waiting for the train to depart and take him to the city.

It was a two- or three-hour drive from Linjiang City to Qingyang County, but he still asked the factory in Qingyang County to send a car in advance, wait outside the train station, and pick him up overnight.

Returning to this home, which he hadn't come back for a long time, Xiaobai's original expressionless face, The next second he stepped into the mourning hall, tears burst out of his eyes-

Although he lived in Kyoto most of the time, he would go back to his grandmother's house every year to live for a while.

The relationship between him and his grandmother is very deep, so he never thinks about the day when his grandmother is not there.

But that day has finally come......

It was the first time Lan Shu had seen Xiaobai crying, and she was crying so sadly.

In the past, it seemed that everything was difficult for Xiaobai, but at this moment, he was fragile and helpless like a child.

But the old lady was still gone after all.

What Lan Shu can do is to accompany Xiaobai, when he is sad, as long as he turns his head, he can see himself, and he can feel a little comforted.

The old lady's funeral was completed in a few days.

When he returned from Qingyang County, Xiaobai was still immersed in painful emotions.

On the other hand, Gu Anguo, who is a son, has come out of his deep pain.

Maybe he hasn't completely walked out, it's just that as a person of his age, death is not too far away for him, and he has already looked down on it.

After returning to Kyoto, Lan Shu found that Xiaobai gradually put on hold of many things around him.

As soon as he was free, he went to Wei's house to see his grandfather and grandmother.

Mrs. Lin's departure made him really feel that after people get old, they may suddenly leave this world one day.

So he wants to accompany him as much as possible, and he doesn't want to think about the past in the future, and his heart is full of regrets.

…

Xiaobai's condition lasted for almost a month before it improved.

At the beginning of July, the summer vacation arrived.

When school starts again, Xiao Qingning will be promoted to the third grade of primary school.

Junjun is also about to become a second-grade elementary school student.

Meng Dabao has not even missed the winter and summer vacations in the kindergarten for two consecutive years, and finally graduated from the kindergarten this year.

When school starts again, eight-and-a-half-year-old Meng Dabao will be in the first grade of primary school!

He went to elementary school at this age, which can be said to be quite late.

But for a little fool with a problem with his IQ, he can go to school, and the family is already happy.

For this reason, Meng Heng also specially invited Xiao Qingning and her parents Gu Jue and Miss Lan to celebrate together.

Meng Heng knew very well that if Xiao Qingning was not there, it was not certain whether his son would be able to speak and communicate with others normally!

What's more, it is to learn the knowledge of kindergarten to understand~!

For the Meng family's invitation, Lan Shu did not refuse.

At the same time, she called Xiaobai, who didn't want to entertain these things, and went to Meng's house as a guest together.

Although Xiao Bai seems to have come out of the grief of his grandmother's departure recently, Lan Shu can feel that he is still sad and depressed.

So at this time, it is very necessary to have some happy things to dilute the depression in Xiaobai's heart.

On this day, the Meng family set up a banquet in a restaurant near the compound, and only invited Gu Jue's family of three to show their attention.

Meng Dabao is very happy every time he sees Xiao Qingning, and this time is the same.

He told Xiao Qingning that soon they would go to school in the same school, and they would be classmates in the future.

Xiao Qingning has been playing a lot with Junjun recently, because the two of them go to the same school, and they both learn piano, plus they are cousins and brothers, so they have more common topics with each other.

Meng Dabao has not even let go of the winter and summer vacations in the past two years, so as Xiao Qingning gradually grows up and her studies are heavy, she and Meng Dabao have not been as frequent as before.

Meng Dabao could feel the slight alienation between him and Xiao Qingning.

Although the little fool is not smart, he is very sensitive to things about Xiao Qingning.

However, Xiao Qingning still regards Meng Dabao as a friend, so even if Meng Dabao is no longer the only friend in her heart, she also gets along with Meng Dabao in a friendly way.
