Chapter 520 Stop Crying, I Beg You
The old man couldn't stand the crying scene, so he slipped away quietly.
He thought he would wait until everyone had finished crying before going out, and then walk around the village to check things out. Unexpectedly, wherever he went, a kid would pop out from the side, hug his legs and cry for grandpa, rubbing their tears and snot on him for free.
The old man was forced to flee in panic. After twists and turns, he entered a yard and slammed the door shut and bolted it.
He put his ear against the door and listened for a while. When the group of brats didn't catch up, the old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the sky with his hands on his hips in disbelief. "Oh my god, that bastard surnamed Bai didn't lie to me. I really have a lot of grandchildren? This is too scary!"
"cough!"
There was a dry cough behind me.
The old man turned around and said confidently, "What are you talking about? I went to the wrong place..."
The main room at the back was full of people, all staring at him with cunning eyes.
The two men walked over quickly, their eyes red as they stretched out their hands towards him, "Du Lao!"
Several women stood a few steps away, holding back their tears and laughing, "Master Du, you're back too, how great!"
"Du Lao, you've come to the right place. This is your home." The emaciated old man with white hair stood by the door, smiling through his tears.
The old man was a little slow to react and felt a little uncomfortable, but he was hugged tightly for the third time, "..."
As expected, birds of a feather flock together.
None of them are normal. If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Why are you hugging me so much?
It made the old man feel embarrassed.
Inside the house, another silver-haired man walked out, holding a tattered palm-leaf fan in his hand, with an elegant smile, "Master Du, it's been two years since we last met. We all miss you so much. Would you mind coming in and talking first?"
The woman with drooping eyebrows followed closely behind him, speaking in a heavy nasal voice, "I was wondering if something happened to you and Tianbao and that's why you didn't come back on time. Turns out you hit your head and can't remember anything. You old idiot, you may have forgotten the incident, but you haven't forgotten your temper. You're still as playful and unruly as ever."
The old man couldn't help but roll his eyes. Having too many descendants is troublesome. They can get as noisy as a market with one word after another. "Alright, alright, the Bai family said that I have many descendants. Grandpa accepts it! Are you my sons or grandsons? Tell me one by one!"
Immediately, murderous intent followed his gaze and rushed towards the man surnamed Bai.
After coughing dryly, Bai Xiaofeng, who was indifferent to the matter, smiled coldly, "Poison is not harmful. When your brain recovers, I will deal with you sooner or later!"
"Puchi!" Someone started laughing so hard that he couldn't help laughing, and then high and low laughter gathered and intertwined in the yard, finally breaking the heavy atmosphere after the meeting.
After returning to the main hall, Mr. and Mrs. Su knelt down to express their gratitude to Madam Lu.
Su Er and his wife followed the eldest brother and knelt down to express their gratitude.
This made Madam Lu feel helpless and at a loss.
The old man looked at the man with the palm-leaf fan, his silver hair, and then at his face, which looked no more than forty or fifty years old. He quietly nudged his arm and said, "White hair and youthful face? Are you also a master of medicine? Or do you have some magic elixir that can keep you young?"
Huo Ziheng curled his lips, all the ups and downs of his emotions hidden deep in his eyes, "It's premature graying of hair."
Poisonous old man, “…” That’s really pitiful.
How much of a blow must one have suffered to have gray hair at such an early age? Alas, how miserable.
He patted the man's shoulder and offered a rare comforting gesture. "It's no big deal. In another twenty or thirty years, your gray hair will still be gray, and your appearance will remain unchanged for decades!"
Mrs. Huo blew her nose beside her, and her eyes became even more red and swollen. "Old Du, I'm in a bad mood, don't keep trying to make me laugh."
"That can't be helped. This is just the old man's behavior. Just bear with it, okay."
“…”
On the other side, Tianbao had been pulled to sit by Grandma Su. Since she couldn't see, she touched her head and face over and over again with her hands. Whenever she touched the raised scars, her hands would tremble.
Grandpa Su was helped to lie down on the recliner, his eyes staring at his granddaughter reluctantly.
The other members of the Su family were the same, their eyes glued to Tianbao's face, but no one dared or could bear to ask why she had so many scars on her face and neck.
It’s good to be back, it’s good to be alive, everything else is fine, it’s fine.
"Tianbao, this is Grandpa and Grandma, as well as your parents, your second uncle and aunt, your aunt and uncle... Nianniansuisui is the youngest in the family and will only be four years old at the end of the year." Bai Yu whispered in her ear, introducing everyone in the room. "There are still a few who are traveling and haven't returned yet. I've sent a letter to them. You'll be able to see them soon."
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom..." Tianbao was a little dazed, repeating these names unconsciously. It felt very natural when he said them out loud.
It seemed like I had shouted it many times before.
She glanced around, passing by the people around her who were all staring at her.
I feel a little sad.
Just like what the master's wife said, she had forgotten the past and had nothing to worry about after waking up, but her relatives here missed her every moment.
Those who remember everything are the most miserable.
Because everyone in this room thought that she and Du Grandpa were dead.
"Grandma's eyes?" She didn't know how to get along with the sudden appearance of relatives, so she could only pursed her lips and asked Bai Yu.
Bai Yu paused and lowered his eyes, "Grandma cried herself blind."
Tianbao pursed his lips even tighter, "Grandpa?"
"Grandpa fell ill after you left." He was broken.
Not only Grandpa Su collapsed, but so did everyone else.
Uncle Su could no longer stand up straight after that, and Aunt Su was in tears.
Second Uncle hasn't laughed loudly in two years, and Second Aunt's loud voice is no longer heard in this courtyard.
The master blamed himself for his negligence and even more for the teachings he had given them, which led Tianbao into this mess. After learning of Tianbao's death, his hair turned white overnight.
…
The sour feeling in Tianbao's chest started to grow again. The tears that she had been holding back when she met these people on the road fell down without warning this time, without even a greeting.
The scalding liquid slid across my cheeks, quickly turning icy cold, only to be repeatedly washed away by new warmth.
"I..." Her lips trembled, and she looked up at the people around her and said, "I'm back."
"Woo--" Liu Yuelan rushed forward, hugged her daughter who was lost and found again, and cried uncontrollably.
They waited and waited for two years, more than seven hundred days and nights.
Finally I heard this sentence, I'm back.
"Woo woo woo! Damn it, Grandpa said he couldn't stand this kind of scene! Why did you have to drag Grandpa here?"
The poisonous old man wiped his eyes and cursed, he was so angry that he died, "Cry, cry, cry, what's there to cry about? Coming back from the dead is a great thing! Besides, Tianbao and grandpa are not dead! It's just that something delayed us and we came back a little late. It's all your imagination! Stop crying, I beg you! Grandpa can cure the old lady's eyes and the old man's broken body! Stop for a while, okay? The sun is about to set, is there any food? Grandpa is starving! Wuuuuu!"
The sad atmosphere in the room stagnated again and was broken.
