Lu Sinian took a lot of photos during this dinner. Not only him but others took a lot of photos as well. They also made an album as a souvenir. When they get older, they can look through it and look at their children’s childhood and their past selves.
The men were all drunk that night, and Luo Xingci was also a little drunk. Lu Yunsheng saw that they were a little unsteady from drinking, so she touched her little head and walked over.
"Grandpa, why do they look like they are about to sleep? Are the drinks you guys are drinking the same as ours?" Lu Yunsheng stood on tiptoes to see if the drinks they were drinking were the same as his.
Lu Zhengguo shook his head. "They are not the same. Yours look better and taste better. The ones they drink are not tasty."
"Then why do you still drink it even though it doesn't taste good? I just wanted to taste what you guys are drinking!" Lu Yunsheng was confused. Why are all the adults so weird? Why do they still drink it when they know it doesn't taste good?
"That's because adults have different tastes than you kids. These things don't taste good to you, but adults just like to drink them. It's just like the drinks you drink. You like them, but that doesn't mean adults like them."
Lu Zhengguo explained to her, and Lu Yunsheng nodded, "Grandpa, I understand. Will I like to drink these drinks when I grow up? But I just smelled the smell, I don't like it, it smells terrible."
Then she ran away, ran to Cao Shuyi, took her hand and said, "Grandma, I'm sleepy and I want to go to bed. I want to sleep with you tonight. I have something important to tell you." When the two of them slept together, Lu Yunsheng whispered some things to her, and Cao Shuyi and her three children liked it very much.
The eldest and second child went to bed early. Now the two brothers still sleep in the same room, but they have separate rooms. However, they often sleep together.
"Okay, okay, then let's go upstairs and sleep. Let's go, grandma's baby, let's go to sleep!" Now that the child is older, she can't hold her anymore, so she holds her hand wherever she goes.
Lu Yunsheng held Cao Shuyi's hand and yawned, but his steps were brisk and he didn't look sleepy at all.
Second Aunt Lu was cleaning there, and the servants also came to help. After the cleaning was done, Second Aunt Lu took the children and left.
Those drunk people were helped back by Lu Zhengguo. Lu Sinian was not completely drunk actually. He carried Luo Xingci back to his room, and they lay on the big sofa.
......
Two years have passed, and the old man's health is getting worse and worse. He is already in his forties. It is actually very lucky for him to live to this age. Moreover, he has many children and grandchildren, and four generations live under the same roof, which is something few people can see.
The old man got up very early that day and made breakfast for his family. The old lady's eyes became hot when she saw that he had cooked a large table of dishes. She turned her back and wiped her tears, then asked him.
"Old man, do you know what's wrong with your body? Actually, we are both at this age and we have to go too. Alas, I hope to go with you because I hope the children will be well in the future."
The old man paused and said, "Old lady, please don't come with me. You have to look after them for me and spend more time with them. Even if I don't want to leave, there's nothing I can do. You have to be well without me by your side in the future. Do you understand?"
The old lady nodded, unable to say anything. She could only hold his hand, hoping that he would stay a little longer.
When everyone got up, the old man said to everyone with a rosy face: "Come over and have breakfast quickly, what are you standing there for?" The old man invited everyone to come over for breakfast.
The children seemed to have noticed something and stopped making as much noise as before, sitting obediently beside the old man.
"Alright, alright, what's with that look on your face? I'm just leaving, everyone has to leave sooner or later, don't be like this, and didn't the doctor say I can live for another half a month? I hope we can be together during this half a month."
"Dad, we will be fine. Okay, let's stop talking about those things. Let's sit down and have a good breakfast. After breakfast, we'll go out for a walk." Lu Zhengguo knew that he failed to provide a good life for the old man when he was young, and he had just enjoyed his old age for a short time before he passed away. He felt bad inside.
"Okay, let's go out for a walk together later. I want to see more of this place. I want to remember this place forever in my heart."
After breakfast, everyone accompanied the old man out for a walk and took a lot of photos of the old man and the old lady. In fact, Lu Zhengguo and Lu Sinian would also take photos of the two elders as a souvenir.
After returning from the trip, the old man seemed to be in much better health. Lu Zhengguo and Lu Sinian took the old man to the hospital for a check-up. They found out that it was not that he had recovered, but that he could no longer hold on.
"Doctor, can you check if my dad is feeling better?" Lu Zhengguo smiled. "He has been very happy these days and is in good health. Please take another look." He hoped that the hospital had made a mistake and this was not true.
The doctor glanced at them and pushed up his glasses. "No, I understand how you feel. He is indeed in good health, but at this age, he will eventually die. Be prepared. Maybe he will die in the next few days. If you have anything to do, put it aside and spend more time with him."
After hearing this, several people were sure that the old man was really going to leave, and in these few days. There are some things that even God cannot change.
Luo Xingci was also very sad. The old man who treated her like his own granddaughter was about to leave. She sometimes asked why the spiritual spring water could not be a potion for immortality?
A few days later, the old man seemed to have sensed that he was not feeling well. He spent the last few days lying in bed. He suddenly looked much older and could only spend the night lying in bed.
The old lady was beside him, telling him about the past. "Old man, you are really going to die this time. I was never so worried when I was carrying a gun to fight the Japanese before, but this time you are really going to die."
"Don't cry. We have come this far in life. I will go downstairs and build you a house. We will still be together in the next life. Go and call them in." The old man held her hand. Didn't he want to be with his family? But he really had to go, and before he left, he wanted to take a good look at these children.
After everyone came in, the old man nodded and said, "Dabao and Erbao Yunsheng, come here and let grandpa take another look at you."
The three children walked up to the old man and grabbed his hands, "Grandpa." They were speechless and just stayed quietly beside the old man.
The old man talked to them for a while, then looked at Lu Sinian and the others, "Sinian Xingci, come here."
The two men sat beside the old man's bed, "Grandpa!" Their voices were a little choked. Looking at the old man with a head full of white hair, Luo Xingci wished that time could go back to the time when his and the old man's hair was not yet white.
"Si Nian, you must treat Xing Ci well in the future and don't let her be sad. No matter what difficulties you two encounter, you will definitely overcome them. I know you two are very loving, but I still want to remind you that I also know you are a good man.
At first, I thought you were going to die alone, but luckily you met Xing Ci, and she gave birth to three cute and sensible babies for you. Grandpa is old, and seeing that you are all living well, Grandpa feels at ease. "
Finally, he said something to Lu Yingxue and the others, "You guys go out first. I want to talk to my wife."
