Su Luo lowered her eyes, tears falling silently.
She looked up again, her eyes pleading: "Grandpa, I can't bear to leave you. Can you stay with me for a few more years? There's still so much I haven't learned."
Dai Ping'an smiled, and with trembling hands wiped away Su Luo's tears before speaking.
"Ah Luo, let Grandpa go, Grandpa is tired."
During those years when he lost his mind, he only wanted to find Dai Xiaoyu and did not know how unbearable the grief was.
Even in his recent years of lucidity, he has never let go of his longing.
His motivation stemmed from his desire to train Su Luo.
Su Luo has finished her studies, and he is really tired.
He should have died long ago, but the little girl kept him alive time and time again. God has been very kind to him. He dreamed of Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu was doing very well.
This is how his life is going to end. Letting everything end like this is the end he wants.
He wanted to sleep forever, and he believed that those who cared about him would understand and respect him.
"grandfather."
Su Luo lowered her head, sobbing uncontrollably.
Dai Pingan gently stroked Su Luo's hair: "Don't cry, you won't be pretty if you cry."
Looking at Su Tiantian next to her, her mouth was also pouting.
Dai Ping'an chuckled softly, "Little one, don't cry, or it'll rain heavily..."
Su Luo wiped away her tears, smiled, and said, "We won't cry."
Su Luo told Dai Ping'an about her experiences at school.
Dai Ping'an listened with great interest.
When he hears foreign doctors who have studied abroad questioning traditional Chinese medicine, Dai Ping'an will scoff and say, "They are just blindly worshipping foreign things. Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years, while foreigners' stuff has only been around for a short time."
After hearing Su Luo prove the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine, Dai Ping'an proudly exclaimed, "She truly is my granddaughter."
Su Luo is back, and the family is reunited.
Tian Guang had already returned from the army and was having dinner.
"Uncle, thank you for taking care of Tiantian. I'd like to toast you."
Su Luo toasted Tian Guang with a respectful attitude.
Tian Guang raised his wine glass and said gently, "You've given birth to a good daughter."
He wasn't very good at talking; he didn't know how to say anything nice, he just said what he wanted to say.
It was precisely because Su Tiantian was born to Su Luo that he sat at the Su family's dining table and ate with them.
Su Chengguo chimed in with a smile, "Of course! A'Luo is so lucky to have given birth to such a little savior. She's a benefactor to our whole family. We're all gathered together because of Tian Tian. Come on, let's have a drink!"
No matter how good life is now, he will never forget how he got this good fortune.
This is a stroke of good fortune shared by the Su family.
The whole family raised their glasses.
Tian Guang smiled and drank the cup of joyful wine.
He had gradually gotten used to his time in the army, but what made him most relaxed was returning to the Su family home.
The Su family is truly different.
After finishing his meal, Tian Guang returned to his unit.
That evening, Su Tiantian nestled in Su Luo's arms, listening to Su Luo tell stories.
Su Luo gently fanned herself until Su Tiantian fell asleep.
Dai Changsheng returned the following afternoon.
He stayed at the Su family's house as soon as he returned.
Dai Ping'an also let him feel his pulse, and Dai Changsheng immediately burst into tears.
He is not good at expressing himself, and he can't even bring himself to say something to persuade him to stay.
Dai Ping'an quickly waved his hand: "Go, go, go! Stop crying like you're made of water. I'm so old, I'm just aging naturally without illness or disaster. This is a happy funeral!"
This is the kind of peaceful old age that so many people dream of; most people don't even have such good fortune.
He knew they genuinely cared for him and were reluctant to part with him, but he wanted to see everyone happily send him off.
"Whoever is crying should stay away from me."
Dai Pingan rolled his eyes.
Dai Changsheng immediately wiped away his tears, revealing a smile that was even more unsightly than crying.
After dinner, Dai Ping'an called all the Su family members to the courtyard.
Dai Changsheng took out his treasure chest.
The Su family members understood what Dai Ping'an was going to do, and they all knelt down.
Liu Xiaohua had already started wiping away tears.
Both Su Dahai and his son had tears in their eyes.
The children all cried.
In recent years, they have really liked wearing amulets, and even the children can recognize some commonly used herbs and know basic first aid.
“You are all my children, but I have always been biased. I definitely gave less to Aro than to you.”
Dai Ping'an smiled and opened the box.
"Grandpa, we don't need yours..."
Su Chengguo's eyes were red, and she choked up.
Su Chenggong also shook his head.
They treated Dai Ping'an like family and didn't want anything from him.
If we're talking about the benefits, they take good care of Dai Ping'an, so if anyone in the family has a headache or fever, they never need to go to the clinic, and the medicinal wine they drink every year also has many benefits.
Now Dai Ping'an is giving them things, and they all feel guilty for taking them.
"I know you're all doing well. This is just a small token of my appreciation; I'm sharing it with everyone."
The Su family consists of twelve people, and apart from Su Luo and her daughter, each person received a gift.
Dai Ping'an also prepared a gift for Tian Guang, who had just joined the Su family.
Dai Ping'an opened the box and took out the gifts, each one packed in a brocade pouch, to give to the Su family.
What Su Dahai and his wife received were two gold ingots and two life-saving pills.
The Su family received a pair of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain vases, which could be passed down as family heirlooms. They also received two gold zodiac pendants for Su Xueguang and Su Xuekuo, which were made according to their zodiac signs.
The gifts given to Su Chenggong's family were a pair of white jade bowls from the Ming Dynasty, which were also meant to be passed down through generations. Su Xuemin and Su Xuebo also received a pair of gold zodiac pendants.
What he gave Su Luo was all his medical books, a whole box full of his life's worth of notes.
What Tian Guang received was a property located in the capital city.
The gift given to the black cat Su Yongli was a black jade nameplate, engraved with Su Yongli's name and date of birth.
Su Yongli lowered his head and let Dai Pingan put it on him, then affectionately pressed his head against Dai Pingan's palm.
The remaining half-box of gold, silver, jewelry, and houses was all given to Su Tiantian.
"Thank you, grandpa."
Su Tiantian never expected to receive so much; she thought it all belonged to her mother.
Dai Ping'an smiled.
“It’s normal for them to have it, but I don’t need it. I shouldn’t accept something for nothing.”
Tian Guang returned the certificate to Dai Ping'an. He wasn't familiar with Dai Ping'an and hadn't even exchanged a few words with him. He was afraid that if Dai Ping'an took a house from him, he wouldn't be able to sleep.
“You’re the little guy’s grandpa now, so take it, take it. We people are always obsessed with houses. We need a house to shelter us from the wind and rain, and having our own house gives us a sense of security…”
Dai Ping'an smiled and explained gently to Tian Guang that he was speaking intermittently, his voice was weak and lacked stamina.
"If you find someone better in the future and don't really need them, then give them to the little one. Consider them temporarily yours, stored here with you, and when you get old, you can give them to whomever you want."
Dai Pingan waved his hand, refusing to say anything more.
Tian Guang held the certificate in his hand, his eyes lowered in silence. He turned to look at Su Tiantian and saw her silently shedding tears. He immediately felt a tightness in his chest.
