The old man looked at the old lady and forced a smile on his face.
"Don't cry. We all have to go through this. I'm already 82 years old, which is a long life. After I'm gone, you must take good care of yourself."
The old man had some difficulty speaking, and even when lying on the hospital bed, his voice was still full of tenacity.
The old lady was of noble status. After following Mr. Zhou, she had never suffered a single day of hardship and had always held him in the palm of her hand. Now that the old man was leaving and leaving her alone, how could she bear it?
She is not young anymore, but she hopes that Mr. Zhou can live to be a hundred years old. Even if both of them can't walk in the future and can only sit in a wheelchair and bask in the sun, they will still be happy.
"Hold on, old man. How am I going to live if you leave?"
The old man patted the back of her hand again.
"Birth, aging, sickness and death are common to all human beings. Don't worry about me. I'm just leaving a little earlier. I'll be waiting for you down there. We'll be husband and wife in the next life."
After these words were spoken, Zheng Wangshu and the others burst into tears.
Everyone is destined to die, but no one can face death directly. Zheng Wangshu thought that when she is old and sick, one of her and Zhou Jingchuan will have to die first. What a pity that would be.
Without your significant other, even if you have children, you will still miss them when you lie in bed at night.
The old man was not in good condition. He started breathing heavily after saying a few words. Finally, he called Zhou Jingye over.
"Jingye, go back to the house and bring Dad's medal over. I want to see it again."
The old man devoted his entire life to the country and made a lot of contributions to scientific research. Those medals are the abbreviation of his life.
Zhou Jingye choked up and replied, "Dad, Jingchuan has gone back to get it."
Zhou Jingchuan knew the old man, so he drove away just now. He didn't want to leave the old man with any regrets.
After a while, several children came and surrounded the bed, crying and calling for grandpa.
There was no fear of death on Mr. Zhou's face; instead, he was smiling the whole time.
No, after a while Zhou Jingchuan took all his medals and carefully helped the old man pin them on his chest.
It was very difficult for Mr. Zhou to move even a little bit now, but he still put his arms on his chest and carefully stroked the medal on his chest, as if he was tracing the pattern on it.
After a while, he closed his eyes.
The old lady was crying so hard that she almost fainted and was supported by someone. Zhou Jingye went over to check her breath, and she cried even harder.
"The old man is gone..."
In an instant, everyone couldn't help crying.
Old Master Zhou was the head of the Zhou family and everyone's backbone, and now he has passed away.
Before he died, the only things he couldn't let go of were his wife and his concern for his country.
Zheng Wangshu seemed to suddenly understand that the country could only develop rapidly because it had countless people like Mr. Zhou.
They have broken away from vulgarity and dedicated their lives to the country. They are true heroes.
She is afraid that it will be difficult for her to reach this level in her lifetime, but she will try her best to do her best within her ability so as not to live in vain.
Actually, it was a happy funeral for the old man, after all, he was eighty years old.
After everyone calmed down, they began to prepare for the old man's funeral.
On the day of the funeral, many leaders came to pay their respects, all with tears in their eyes.
In this way, Mr. Zhou rests in peace underground.
After the old man passed away, the Zhou family was shrouded in sadness for a while. As for the old lady, the family was definitely worried about her living alone, so Zhou Jingye and his family took her in.
With so many children and grandchildren around, I always feel better.
Otherwise, living alone at home and not being able to see the old man, I'm afraid I'll have a mental breakdown.
Fortunately, the old lady soon came to her senses. When she was old, she suddenly believed in Buddhism and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day to accumulate merit for Mr. Zhou.
One day, Zheng Wangshu was chatting with the old lady and learned that she did this because she wanted to be husband and wife with the old man in the next life after her death, and she hoped that God would grant her wish.
Zheng Wangshu was silent at that time. The emotions of the older generation were calm and introverted. They all said that in that era, people only went on blind dates and got married after meeting once, without any feelings.
But is that really the case? Perhaps the feelings of the older generation are purer, something they cannot understand.
Before going to bed at night, Zheng Wangshu told Zhou Jingchuan about this matter.
Zhou Jingchuan was also quite moved after hearing this.
"I hope we can be husband and wife again in our next life."
Zhou Jingchuan held Zheng Wangshu tightly in his arms and whispered to him.
Zheng Wangshu couldn't help laughing. "Anyway, when we get old, I hope I die first, and you die after me."
When Zhou Jingchuan heard this, he couldn't help but pat her on the mouth.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What's the point of talking about life or death? It's still too early, there are still decades to go."
Zheng Wangshu sighed. "It's nothing. Everyone has to die anyway. I just hope I can die before you. If you die and leave me behind, I really don't know what to do. I'll die sooner and wait for you in the underworld. Don't worry, I'm in no rush to reincarnate. We can reincarnate together and be husband and wife in the next life."
Zhou Jingchuan's grip on Zheng Wangshu gradually intensified. After a long pause, he finally said, "If you go first, I will go with you. You're so timid, what if you get scared? I'll die with you, so you'll have company."
Zheng Wangshu was startled and struggled to get his head out of Zhou Jingchuan's arms.
"What do you mean by that? You mean if I die early, you'll commit suicide for love?"
"What's wrong? Can't I?"
Zheng Wangshu was silent. She looked at Zhou Jingchuan and suddenly wanted to tell the secret that she had buried for so long.
"Jingchuan, I have something to tell you. Don't be afraid after you hear it."
In the darkness, Zhou Jingchuan's eyes sparkled.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Actually, I'm not Zheng Wangshu. Zheng Wangshu died a long time ago. I came from another world and traveled through time and space in her body."
After Zheng Wangshu finished speaking, his hands were sweaty, and he was obviously a little regretful. Why did he say this in such a good mood? Even if the relationship between the two was good, it was still quite scary to talk about such weird things.
What if Zhou Jingchuan can’t accept it?
Just when Zheng Wangshu was feeling anxious, Zhou Jingchuan suddenly spoke.
"I know."
When Zheng Wangshu heard this, he jumped up.
"You...you...you knew? How did you know? When did you know?"
Zhou Jingchuan couldn't help but laugh. "What was Zheng Wangshu like before? I've seen her before. You're different from her. What's more, we became husband and wife later on. How could I not feel it?"
