The yard was very clean and tidy; both the garden and the vegetable patch were meticulously organized…
This also shows that Grandma Kong was a person who loved life...
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a kind-looking old man pushed Qin Zhan out of the house, complaining as he did so.
"Uncle Qin, you're in this state, please don't run around anymore. You're such a worry..."
Instead of being angry at being complained about like that, Qin Zhan actually looked quite pleased with himself…
He even said with a smile
"Little Kong, thank you so much! Otherwise, with my mobility issues, I wouldn't even be able to bask in the sun..."
Hearing the way the two addressed each other, Wang Wei didn't know what to say. They were clearly the same age, but they sounded like an elder and a junior!
"I have to take care of other people, you can stay here and sunbathe by yourself..."
Grandma Kong turned to leave, but Qin Zhan stopped her, saying...
"Xiao Kong, you can't just leave me like this. Since Yin Chen is here, let her go and help you take care of those elderly people..."
Upon hearing Qin Zhan's words, Grandma Kong finally looked up. The moment she saw Wang Yinchen, she immediately smiled and said...
"So it's Yin Chen. What a kind girl, not bothered by these old people's nagging..."
"Aunt Kong, you are so kind, taking care of these elderly people for so many years without ever abandoning them. I just come here occasionally to help out, it's nothing..."
The change in address from Wang Yinchen was quite swift, which made Wang Wei realize that Grandma Kong's memory had likely regressed to when she was in her forties or fifties...
"Yin Chen really knows how to talk. You take care of your Grandpa Qin, I'll go check on the others..."
Grandma Kong left the courtyard without waiting for anyone's reply and went to do chores in the other houses...
"Yinchen, let her go, it'll be alright..."
Hearing Qin Zhan's words, Wang Yinchen didn't continue to stop him. He looked at Qin Zhan with suspicion, wondering why Qin Zhan had let Grandma Kong go take care of the other elderly people alone today...
"Come and sit down..."
Qin Zhan gestured for the two people to sit down next to him…
To Wang Wei's astonishment, Qin Zhan actually stood up. Wasn't this supposed to be an elderly man with mobility issues? Just moments ago, he needed an elderly man with Alzheimer's to push him out of the house, but now he was acting like nothing had happened...
Seeing Wang Yinchen's completely unsurprised expression, Wang Wei finally realized that this was the secret about Grandpa Qin that the other party had mentioned...
"Grandpa Qin, weren't you alright? Why are you still..."
"Why are you still in a wheelchair, right?"
As Qin Zhan spoke, he took a photo from under his wheelchair and handed it to Wang Wei…
Wang Wei looked at the black and white photograph in front of him, which carried a strong sense of its age…
The photo shows two people standing side by side. Although they are dressed simply, their smiles are sweet…
Wang Wei vaguely felt that the person in the photo looked familiar. Before Wang Wei could speak, he heard Wang Yinchen say in shock.
"Grandpa Qin, isn't this a photo of you and Grandma Kong...?"
Wang Wei looked at the shocked Wang Yinchen with a puzzled expression, thinking to himself, "Don't you know Grandpa Qin's secret? Why are you still so shocked?"
"That's right, this is a secret I've kept in my heart for over thirty years, and today I'll tell you about it..."
Wang Wei was even more puzzled. "You've hidden this for over thirty years, why tell us? Is it to repay me for carrying the summoning banner for Ding Gui?" No, another possibility occurred to him: perhaps Qin Zhan wanted him to help him carry the summoning banner as well…
Just as Wang Wei was lost in thought, Qin Zhan sat back in his wheelchair and said...
"Grandma Kong and I were originally a couple, but we separated for some reason. The elderly people she took care of were not her own parents, but mine. She waited for me for thirty years in the same place. Time has changed everything, and by the time I found her, it was all too late to turn back..."
I still remember the moment I saw Grandma Kong again, and I realized how much she had sacrificed for me. She had waited for me in the same place for decades...
I wanted to start over with her, but then I painfully discovered that she was gradually forgetting me. My heart ached at that moment, and I regretted not coming back sooner…
But then I realized, she loved me for decades, so why can't I spend the rest of my life with her until the very end...
Xiaowei, family background doesn't really matter. As long as you're a kind person with ambition, you have the right to pursue love. Be bold and pursue love. Don't be like me, realizing this too late, and then it's too late for regrets…”
Hearing this, Wang Wei finally realized what Qin Zhan had told him earlier. The reason he had told him and Wang Yinchen the secret was that love wasn't easy to come by, and that if they met, they should bravely pursue it, and not wait until they lost it to regret it…
"Yes, thank you, Grandpa Qin. I will work hard..."
"I believe in you. You're a kind young man. I heard your school is holding a job fair for part-time workers recently. If you have the energy, you can give it a try. Earning some extra money can help ease the burden on your family, and it's also a great opportunity to develop your skills. If you do well, you might even get a full-time position..."
Qin Zhan suddenly changed the subject, which surprised the two of them. They thought they had never heard of a part-time job fair at school, and even if there was one, how did Qin Zhan know about it?
Although he couldn't understand it, knowing the other person meant well, Wang Wei quickly smiled and replied.
"We will be careful, thank you for reminding us, Grandpa Qin..."
"Your Grandma Kong is back..."
Qin Zhan snatched the photo and put it in his pocket, handling it as if it were some precious treasure…
"Aunt Kong, you're back! This is my classmate Wang Wei. He wants to donate some money to help the nursing home. Please don't refuse..."
Upon hearing Wang Yinchen's words, Wang Wei quickly took out 60,000 yuan and handed it to Grandma Kong...
Qin Zhan, who had just finished reprimanding Wang Wei, paused for a moment. He looked at Wang Wei's clothes with suspicion; he didn't seem like someone who could come up with 60,000 yuan at all...
"That won't do. I appreciate your kindness, but you're all so young and need the money right now. Take it back and use it yourself. Most of the food and drink here is grown by ourselves, so it doesn't cost us much..."
"hole…"
Wang Wei almost called her Grandma Kong, but he immediately realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself.
“Aunt Kong, we just wanted to do our part. We are deeply moved by your selfless care for these elderly people for so long, but we can't take care of them day and night like you do. So we are willing to contribute to this act of kindness so that it can last longer. Please accept this…”
After Wang Wei's suggestion, Grandma Kong said some polite words, but ultimately accepted the money...
Unbeknownst to the two, while they were chatting, Young Master Du's convoy reappeared not far from the mourning hall, staring intently at them...
