Tang Yuanyuan nodded, "He knows. We went to the hospital together and told the old man. I haven't told my sister-in-law yet, and I don't know if I should."
Wen Qiao said, "You should discuss this with Dong Qing. But during this time, make sure you get plenty of rest. I saw that your parents came; they're worried about you."
Speaking of this, a hint of emotion flashed in Tang Yuanyuan's eyes.
“My parents are worried that the Huo family will kick us out after the old man passes away. But I’m not afraid. Dongqing has such a good job, and my company is good too. At worst, I can apply for company housing. I’m not afraid of not having a place to live.”
Huo Dongqing has lived here for decades. If he is driven away, he will definitely never come back.
But Tang Yuanyuan knew that Huo Dongqing was very worried about his sister-in-law Yan Minghui and his nephew Huo Yan.
Those people from the Yan family are extremely annoying and difficult to deal with.
While Wen Qiao was talking to the adults, Sanbao saw Huo Yan kneeling at the very back of the mourning hall.
She stood at the doorway and called out in a clear, crisp voice, "Brother Huo Yan."
Huo Yan raised his eyes, his cold, lifeless eyes showing a hint of surprise, a joy he himself was unaware of. He looked haggard and dejected, with stubble on the young man's chin.
This was also the first time Sanbao felt unfamiliar with Brother Huoyan.
After she called out to Huo Yan, when she saw him raise his head and meet her gaze, a strange fear flashed in her eyes.
Is this still the Huo Yan I knew before?
Yan Minghui happened to see Sanbao calling Huo Yan. She walked over and said softly, "Sanbao, this is not a place for you. Auntie will take you to have some tea over there."
Sanbao said softly, "Auntie, I came to see Grandpa Huo and Brother Huo Yan. My mother said I shouldn't have come, but I was worried about Brother Huo Yan."
"Good boy." Yan Minghui felt a warmth in her heart when she heard Sanbao's words.
Then she called out, "Ayan, take Sanbao to sit in the side hall for a while. Your grandfather's coffin is here, it will frighten Sanbao, she's still a child."
Huo Yan's knees were numb. He nodded and stood up. After calming down, he walked out, wearing mourning clothes and a mourning cloth tied around his waist.
Looking at the very tall Huo Yan, Sanbao was still wondering when his brother Huo Yan had grown so tall.
She knew that Huo Yan was tall, but she didn't expect that he had grown so tall, like an adult.
Huo Yan didn't take Sanbao to the side hall, but instead took her to the second floor.
Previously, whenever Sanbao came to the Huo family with Na Na, Huo Yan would take her to the second floor. His room was very big. In addition to a bed, there was a large bookcase and a large desk. Besides books, there were also many toys on his desk.
He said that all those toys could be given to the three children to play with.
Unfortunately, she was very young at the time and didn't know how to play those things or how to play them.
Huo Yan pulled up a chair for Sanbao to sit down.
His low, husky voice, with a hint of hoarseness between youth and adulthood, wasn't very pleasant to listen to; in fact, it sounded a bit strange.
He said, "Why are you here? Aren't you afraid?"
Sanbao, being simple-minded, told Huo Yan what he knew.
"I heard Zhang Xiaoyu mention it at school..."
Zhang Xiaoyu is the younger sister of Zhang Jian, Huo Yan's classmate.
Huo Yan and Zhang Jian were classmates. Coincidentally, Zhang Jian's father was also a military officer and lived in the same compound as the Shen family.
Of course, Zhang Jian's father's position was not as high as Shen Jichuan's.
Huo Yan had some personal motives, but he didn't make friends indiscriminately. Zhang Jian was a decent person, and he would most likely take the military academy entrance exam in the future. If he didn't pass, he would still have to join the army, since Zhang Jian's father was in the military.
Thinking that Zhang Xiaoyu knew about his family situation, it must have been Zhang Jian who called him, asking him to go out. Huo Yan said that something had happened at home; his grandfather had passed away.
Zhang Jian had met Huo Yan's grandfather before, and after learning about this matter, he made a special trip to the Huo family.
However, they didn't stay long; they paid their respects briefly and then left.
I guess Zhang Jian told his sister about this.
The old man of the Huo family passed away yesterday afternoon. After he was dressed and taken home, and the mourning hall was set up, Yan Minghui then made phone calls to inform relatives and friends one by one.
