Chapter 264 Fall

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Xiuren was lying on a lounge chair on the balcony and watching Douyin, when suddenly a video call from Wang Xiude appeared on the screen.

"The old man fell and hit the back of his head. He's bleeding a lot. The ambulance is on the way. You guys should come back quickly!" Wang Xiu De's face was pale and his voice was trembling.

Wang Xiuren was a little confused when he heard it, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "I'm going to come back soon."

After hanging up the video, he felt a little dazed and wanted to get up, but found his legs were a little weak.

"What's going on?" Lin Qiuzheng and Zhou Qing, mother and daughter, were sitting at the dining table picking beans. When they heard the noise, they turned their heads to look over.

"My father fell and hit his head. He is being taken to the hospital now." Wang Xiuren said woodenly.

"How did you fall? Is it serious?" Lin Ting, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, put the newspaper aside and asked in a gentle voice.

These elderly people are most afraid of falling down. Minor injuries are okay, but they are afraid of breaking bones and needing someone to take care of them.

If it is more serious, life may end there.

Lin Qiu picked up his phone and looked at the calendar. It seemed... it was also this time in his previous life.

"We still don't know what the situation is. The boss only said that my father fell on the back of his head and didn't say anything else." Wang Xiuren was a little incredulous.

In the past two years, I have taken time to go back several times, and each time I have fulfilled my responsibilities by taking my parents to the hospital for physical examinations. The doctor said that they were in very good health, which most people could not keep up with.

"We must get back as soon as possible." Lin Ting arranged in a deep voice, "Old lady, hurry up and make two quick dishes. Xiuren, help me pack the luggage. Qiuqiu, call Shanshan and tell her to get back as soon as possible."

Lin Ting sighed. It wasn’t that he didn’t hope for the best for his in-laws, but at their age, when they encountered such things, they usually prepared for the worst.

Lin Qiu sent a video to his daughter.

When Wang Shan saw the video sent by her mother, she immediately pressed the answer button.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Wang Shan asked worriedly when she saw her mother's bad face on the phone screen.

"Your uncle called, we have to rush back as soon as possible."

"Now?"

"Yes." Lin Qiu nodded, "Your grandfather fell and hit his head. He is being rushed to the hospital. We don't know what his condition is yet."

Wang Shan's face changed. An eighty-year-old man fell and hit his head, so it cannot be taken lightly.

She was a little confused, but Yan Shen leaned over and asked, "Auntie, what time do we leave?"

Lin Qiu raised his hand and looked at the time. "Around 12 o'clock, pack two sets of clothes and come over to have breakfast and lunch. After that we'll go back."

After hanging up the video, Lin Qiu sat on the sofa, recalling many things in his mind.

In this life, because they were far away, had a tough attitude, and the money they gave was large and generous, the old couple did not act like they did in their previous life. Instead, they were polite to Lin Qiu's family.

Especially after Wang Xiuren bought social security for them, the old couple would not call them easily unless there was something important.

Although they are blood relatives, the two families are generally more polite than close.

Wang Shan arrived quickly and entered the house with Yan Shen before eleven o'clock.

After a quick lunch, the family walked towards the parking lot carrying their suitcases.

There are too many people to fit in one car, so we use two.

Seeing Wang Xiuren's uneasy look, Lin Qiu got into the driver's seat and said, "I'll drive for a while, and then you can take over for me."

Wang Shan and Yan Shen were in the same car.

To be honest, she was actually fine. I have never lived with my grandparents since I was a child. I only see them once or twice every few years, so we don’t have a deep relationship.

The two cars were driving one after the other on the highway. Wang Xiuren called Wang Xiude on the road to ask about Wang Zongsheng's condition. He was mentally prepared.

Although Wang Zongsheng was already 86 years old, none of his four sons mentioned buying a cemetery for him. However, according to family customs, he prepared his and Li Xiuying's coffins early on and painted them several times.

"The bleeding has stopped and the patient seems to be conscious, but he can't speak. Only his eyeballs can move. The doctor told us to be prepared."

The three younger brothers are now on their way back, so Wang Xiu De has to stay in the hospital alone.

Wang Xiuren nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will be at the hospital around seven to replace you."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Wang Xiu De reminded.

At this moment, the brothers who had been estranged for decades temporarily put aside their personal emotions.

When Wang Zongsheng heard the eldest brother talking to the second brother on the phone, he stared at him with his eyes fixed, his mouth trembling but no sound came out.

Wang Xiu De's eyes became red when he saw his father like this. "The second son's family is already on the way. The third son and Lao Man are also on their way back. Ming Ming and Lei Lei will be here in the evening. The other grandchildren will also be back. Don't worry."

Only then did Wang Zongsheng blink.

After rushing, we finally arrived at the hospital around seven o'clock.

Wang Xiuren thought he would not cry, but when he saw Wang Zongsheng lying on the hospital bed with tubes inserted, tears welled up in his eyes.

Lin Qiu held his arm. All they could do now was to follow the doctor's instructions.

Not long after, Wang Xiuli and Wang Xiuxin arrived with their families.

Wang Zongsheng saw the room full of his children and grandchildren as he wished, and then he blinked hard a few times.

Now only Li Xiuying doesn't know that her husband is just stalling for time. Her children and grandchildren don't want her to go to the hospital and have arranged for several granddaughters to accompany her.

She should have expected that the old man was not in good condition, so she held her granddaughters' hands and talked about the past.

Say it over and over again.

Another thing is that Wang Shan accidentally discovered that she couldn't sleep at night, so she got up at eleven or twelve o'clock, sat on the armchair with her eyes open, and sat there until dawn.

Wang Shan immediately told her father about this.

Wang Xiuren immediately found his three brothers, and then began to arrange shifts for them to take turns guarding both sides, for fear of any mistakes.

On the morning of September 8, Li Xiuying suddenly muttered, "The old man will be back in a few days. The dates are about to turn red. If he doesn't come back, we will miss it."

Wang Zongsheng still couldn't eat this year's red dates.

At about 3:00 a.m., Wang Xiuren called his wife and daughter and said, "Come to the hospital quickly. He has just been sent for emergency treatment."

Lin Qiu rushed to the hospital with his daughter and Yan Shen. More than a dozen people were waiting outside the emergency room.

Fortunately, he was rescued.

The person is still conscious, looking at his children and grandchildren with open eyes.

When he closed his eyes, everyone except Wang Xiuren and his three brothers rushed back.

Lin Qiu couldn't sleep at this moment, and tossed and turned in bed. At about five in the morning, Wang Xiuren called and said, "Tell the family to prepare. Dad is coming back, and the doctor agrees."

Lin Qiu heard Wang Xiuren sobbing on the phone and quickly comforted him, "I'll ask the elders in the clan to come and arrange it. I'll make sure it's safe and secure."

There has always been an unwritten custom in my hometown, especially among the older generation, who are very particular about it.

When a person dies, he should be buried in peace, and in the ground, his leaves should return to their roots. So they cannot die outside and become lonely ghosts, so they must go home before they die.

Lin Qiu quickly woke up her daughter, and together with other sisters-in-law, invited the elders of the clan to decorate the main room according to their instructions.

Wang Shan and other cousins ​​accompanied Li Xiuying and waited at the gate.

Wang Zongsheng quickly returned with the car.

After he was carried to his bed, his eyes swept across the faces of all his children and grandchildren. He finally glanced at Li Xiuying who was sitting beside the bed, then closed his eyes and never opened them again.
