Chapter 282 Enrichment

When Little Yueliang was still young, she witnessed the death of a relative for the first time. Although she had no idea what death meant, she would pull Lin Qiu's hand at night and clamor to go out to see her great-grandmother in heaven.

But the adults were very rational and quickly accepted Zhou Qing's departure. Now they sat together and counted the gifts received for the funeral.

Lin Qiu was the first to express his opinion, "I don't want this gift money."

Lin Ping and his sister have the same opinion.

Lin Hui and Lin Li also said they didn't want it.

Lin Ting was very pleased. "I plan to divide this money into three parts. One part for the eldest son, one part for Lizi, and the remaining part for Pingping. Congcong, Minmin, Ruirui, and Liuliu haven't found a partner yet. Nowadays, you need to prepare a lot of gifts and dowries for marriage. You should accept it without refusing."

"No." Lin Hui shook her head, "We can't leave Qiuqiu behind."

"Yes, if we have to divide it, it should be divided equally among the four sisters." Lin Li continued.

Lin Ping and his two brothers had the same idea, "Sister's share must not be less."

Lin Ting knew what the three of them were thinking and waved his hand gently, "It's a good thing that the four sisters have a good relationship and are not dishonest or forceful, but you three can just divide the money equally. As for Qiuqiu..."

He stood up, opened the wardrobe, took out a passbook and handed it to Lin Qiu, "Your mother and I still have some money saved. Qiuqiu, please keep it for me. I'll ask you for money when I need it."

Lin Qiu refused to take it. "Why do I need this money? You can take it yourself."

"I'll leave this petition with you. From now on, all my expenses will be paid from it. If there is any left, I'll give it all to you." Lin Ting insisted on stuffing the petition into Lin Qiu's hands.

Then he looked at the other three children and said, "Don't accuse me of being partial. I will listen to your mother's arrangements and follow Qiuqiu from now on. You never know how many things I will have to trouble her with in the future."

"That's fine." Lin Qiu took the passbook. "I'll bind this passbook to Big Brother and Li Zi's numbers. Whenever there's money in or out, the bank will send you text messages."

"That's not necessary." Lin Hui really didn't think Lin Qiu would take the money seriously.

Lin Hui also said: "We are all family, there is no need to make things so complicated."

Lin Ting knew that his daughter was afraid that Zhou Mei and Liu Xiang might have some ideas, so he finally decided, "Just do as Qiu Qiu said."

Now that Zhou Qing is gone, Lin Qiu feels bored living in his hometown, so Wang Xiuren decides to go back to Pengcheng and persuades Lin Ting to go with him.

When they arrived in Pengcheng, Lin Qiu was worried that Lin Ting would not be used to sleeping alone, so Wang Xiuren temporarily shared a room with him and bought a single bed and set it up in his room.

Wang Xiuren stayed with her for three days, but Lin Ting no longer agreed.

He was very firm: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, I will call you if there is anything."

Lin Qiu looked at his determined eyes and could only agree.

But she was still worried, so she would get up in the middle of the night every day and secretly open Lin Ting's door to take a look.

She found that sometimes Lin Ting would lean against the head of the bed alone, without turning on the lights, holding a photo and muttering something.

Lin Qiu felt that this couldn't go on.

The next day, Wang Shan was called back to give advice.

"Dad, take grandpa with you when you go shopping from now on! Let him go out with you and walk around. When people move around, they will be more energetic and have less time to think about other things."

"Is this okay?" Wang Xiuren was a little uncertain.

"Try it first."

Wang Shan thought for a moment and said, "I'll send Xiao Yueliang back as well. She's going to an early childhood education class now. You and grandpa can help pick her up and drop her off every day."

"Okay then." Wang Xiuren nodded.

Early the next morning, he went to knock on Lin Ting's door and said, "Dad, come with me to the market to buy vegetables! Shanshan and Xiaoyue are coming over for dinner tonight. Please help me pick out a good chicken and make soup for them."

Lin Ting quickly put on his clothes and came out, "Okay, I'll go with you."

In the evening, Wang Shan came back with Xiaoyue and a lot of bags.

After dinner, she left Xiaoyue behind and said, "Grandpa, I have to be busy with the art exhibition in Hong Kong, so Xiaoyue is now in your care. She has to go to the early childhood education class, so I'll have to trouble you to pick her up and drop her off for me."

Lin Ting was happy, holding Xiaoyue's hand and sending Wang Shan downstairs, "You go and do your work, Xiaoyue, I'm here!"

Then Lin Ting became busy every day.

In the morning, I have to go shopping for groceries with my son-in-law. After breakfast, I have to send Xiaoyueliang to early childhood education class, come back to take care of the flowers and plants on the balcony, and pick Xiaoyueliang up before lunch.

After lunch and a nap, I would take Xiaoyueliang to the community amusement park for some fun. When we get back from playing, it’s time for dinner.

After dinner, the family goes out for a walk. After taking a walk, taking a shower, and tidying up, it's time to go to bed.

Sometimes Wang Xiuren would specially call the landlord and the former owner of the winery to his home to talk to Lin Ting, or drive him out fishing.

After all this busy work, Lin Ting obviously felt much more energetic.

If nothing else, at least my appetite has returned.

Although I still talk about Zhou Qing with my family from time to time, this is normal.

If a couple who have lived together day and night and shared joys and sorrows for decades suddenly leaves, the other will definitely miss him or her.

But as long as he can eat and sleep, it's fine.

One hundred days after Zhou Qing's death, Lin Qiu returned to his hometown with his entire family.

She couldn't help crying again in front of Zhou Qing's grave.

Lin Tingze and his children pulled out all the weeds around the grave and bought two pine and cypress trees to plant in front of the grave.

The day before returning to Pengcheng, he stayed alone in front of the grave and chattered for a long time before leaving.

Lin Qiu clearly felt that after returning to Pengcheng this time, Lin Ting was no longer as depressed as before.

Now that the epidemic is under good control, the elderly in the community have started to move around again, and Lin Ting will go and join in the fun when he is free.

Seeing that he was interested in watching others practice sword fighting every day, Lin Qiu bought him two sets of training clothes and a Tai Chi sword online, and then encouraged him to join.

Lin Ting did not refuse. He did not go shopping for groceries the next morning. Instead, he changed into his training clothes, picked up his Tai Chi sword, and followed the large group to learn how to perform the moves.

After a week, I could dance properly.

Lin Qiu filmed a video of him dancing with a sword and sent it to the family group.

The family members in the group gave thumbs up and they finally felt relieved.

At the end of the year, Lin Hui and Lin Li came to Pengcheng to pick up Lin Ting and take him back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.

Since his son came to pick him up specially, Lin Ting must be willing to go back.

Lin Qiu did not stop him. He stuffed two suitcases with food, clothes and daily necessities before sending him to the high-speed rail station.

Yan Shen hadn't had his holiday yet, and Wang Shan spent most of her time in the studio, so Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren concentrated on taking care of Xiao Yueliang.

Now that the early childhood education classes are on holiday, the couple has nothing to do during the day so they take Xiaoyueliang to the supermarket and buy some New Year's goods.

In the evening, he would tell stories to his granddaughter with the paintings that Wang Shan bought, or play building blocks and jigsaw puzzles with her.

Simple days are fulfilling.
