"Wife, hurry up and book a plane ticket! The fastest one! Something big happened at home!" Xiao Qiang yelled into the phone, his voice filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qiang was still worried, so he called several of his brothers and sisters and asked them to go back quickly and take good care of the old lady.

For a moment, the Xiao family was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

The next night, the whole family gathered together, and the house was crowded with adults and children, as if we were back in the time when Xiao Lang was still alive. It was really lively, but everyone had a heavy heart.

"Everyone is back. There is a camera over there. Let's take a family photo!" Chen Xiaoru pointed to the camera in the corner of the living room and forced a smile on her face.

The eldest, Xiao Zerui, quickly set up his camera and fiddled with it for a long time before finally getting it right. The entire family, three generations, crowded together before the camera. The shutter clicked, capturing this rare moment. Everyone's expression in the photo was frozen, except for the children, who remained naive and made faces at the camera.

"Come and eat!" Chen Xiaoru invited everyone to take a seat. The table was filled with a rich variety of dishes, all of which were the children's favorites. After everyone was seated, Chen Xiaoru took out twelve envelopes from the cabinet behind her, each with their name written on it. "Boss, you distribute these. You can look at the contents when you get home. Let's eat."

Xiao Zerui took the envelope and distributed it to his brothers and sisters one by one. After receiving the envelope, everyone felt even more uneasy, as no one knew what was inside.

At the dinner table, everyone chatted idly, no one daring to speak too much, for fear of touching upon Chen Xiaoru's sorrow. The children, on the other hand, were carefree, eating with gusto and occasionally letting out cheerful laughter.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Chen Xiaoru picked up a piece of meat for her grandson with a kind smile on her face.

Xiao Qiang ate the rice in his bowl, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. He secretly winked at his wife, signaling her to pay more attention to the old lady.

The meal was so tasteless that when it finally came to an end, no one in the family left, and they all crowded into the living room to watch TV. It wasn't so much watching TV as it was staying with Chen Xiaoru.

Chen Xiaoru sat on the sofa, her head resting on her eldest daughter Xiao Ruo, with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.
