After driving for many days, we finally arrived at our destination. The house in front of us was still so familiar. Although there were no plants in the yard, it was very clean.
You can tell how much effort the person looking at the house put in.
Lin Chuchu was very satisfied when she saw the courtyard.
She also met the little girl from back then, who is now a mother.
Even after such a long time apart, the other person was still a bit reserved.
After all, this family was clearly not ordinary, even the old lady was.
"Comrade Lin, do you need me to bring some meat and vegetables from home? It's so late and there's nowhere to buy them."
“We’ll probably be staying here for a few months. Please help me see if there are any suitable seeds or seedlings. We want to plant some plants in the yard. Also, please help me buy some vegetables, pork, chicken, duck, and eggs.”
Lin Chuchu said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go ask in a bit. We don't need to spend money to buy it; we have some at home."
Lin Chuchu didn't want to take advantage of her, so she gave her 30 yuan directly.
"For the time being, just buy whatever food you need here. If you don't have enough, just ask my mom for more."
"You can't refuse the money, otherwise we'll find a way to go somewhere else."
Lin Chuchu could tell that the other party wanted to refuse, so she directly declined.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll make sure your family eats and drinks well here."
The woman left quickly, feeling very happy. She could buy chickens, ducks, and eggs from her family, which would add to their income.
As darkness fell, only a dozen or so people arrived because there were too many. The rest of the people found places to stay in the neighboring county.
The sea was very beautiful, and the night breeze was especially comfortable. After dinner, Lin Chuchu took her family for a stroll along the beach, chatting and not feeling bored at all.
Lin Chuchu really enjoys this kind of life, but now is not the time for her to give up. She has a job, and the country needs her.
After only three days there, Lin Chuchu and Team Leader Qin set off again.
This time, we'll take a different approach, and there won't be as many problems in our lives from now on.
The problems encountered were all minor and didn't require much trouble for Lin Chuchu.
December arrived in the blink of an eye. When Lin Chuchu returned to the seaside from outside, she learned that her grandmother was bedridden.
"Mom and Dad, why didn't you tell me that those two guards were able to contact us?"
Lin Chuchu said, crying.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Mu's mother said, "Your maternal grandmother didn't want us to tell you, afraid it would interfere with your work. However, I was planning to tell you these past few days anyway."
"What did the doctor say? Should I call my superiors and ask them to invite some specialists over?"
Lin Chuchu stood up anxiously, wanting to make a phone call.
Mother Mu stopped her abruptly, saying, "The higher-ups have invited several doctors over; they are all leading experts from the hospital."
"The doctor said that your grandmother's illness is beyond treatment, and it will only last for the next few days..."
With a choked voice, Mu's mother said, "This is my mother. My father is dead. Now I only have my mother left, but my mother is also leaving me."
The worries of the past few days turned into tears, which fell uncontrollably.
She had been holding on for a while, but seeing Lin Chuchu now felt like finding her pillar of support.
I couldn't hold back my tears any longer.
Lin Chuchu hugged her mother, her face also covered in tears.
"Mom, tell my uncle and the others. I'll go tell Mu Chen and ask him to come over."
My eldest uncle will regret it if he doesn't get to see my maternal grandmother one last time.
The two kids will be on holiday soon, so it would be best to have them come over too.
The maternal grandmother raised the two children from a young age, so their bond must be exceptional.
Instead of blaming yourself in the future, you might as well let your child come and see you one last time.
When Mu Chen heard the news, he immediately panicked and went to the director's office. This was a very important time, as the director had originally not agreed to give him leave.
Mu Chen said, "Director, you know my situation before. When my grandfather had an emergency, I was on a mission and couldn't come back. If I don't see my grandmother one last time this time, I will definitely regret it to death."
Mu Chen's eyes were slightly red, and his voice trembled.
Upon hearing this, the bureau chief sighed.
When Mu Chen went undercover back then, the bureau chief felt sorry for him. This time, he couldn't let him have any more regrets.
The director has given him leave, but didn't say when he would return to the team. He only said that he should come back after things over there are finished.
Next up are the two children. They haven't started their summer vacation yet and still have three days until their final exams. However, Mu Chen is worried that his grandmother won't be able to wait.
Finally, it was your supervisor who approved today that the two children were allowed to take the exams early and then be given a holiday immediately afterward, which is how the two children left the school.
Mu Chen didn't tell the two children, but they had already noticed their father's unusual behavior and knew that he seemed to be in a bad mood.
The two children were silent throughout the journey, listless from the moment they boarded the plane until they disembarked.
When she saw her mother, she burst into tears.
"Mom, what's wrong? Why did you ask us to come over?"
"Mom, Dad looks scary."
Lin Chuchu was also in a bad mood, her eyes were red, she hugged the two children and forced out a smile.
"It's okay, Mom will take you home in a bit."
After speaking, he looked at Mu Chen.
"Brother Chen..."
Her voice choked with emotion, and she didn't say much more.
Mu Chen took her hand and said calmly, "I'm here now, let's go home."
Lin Chuchu hesitated for a moment and said, "My uncle and older brother will arrive in another hour. Let's wait a little longer."
No matter how anxious he was, Mu Chen knew that Lin Chuchu was right.
The two waited for more than an hour before their uncle's family finally arrived.
Mu Chen called out "Uncle," and the uncle could no longer hold back his tears.
She put her arm around his shoulder, "Your grandma..."
He was so scared... so scared that he wouldn't see his mother one last time.
Lin Chuchu chimed in, "It's alright now, but the doctor said it'll only be a few days."
Seeing her husband and son speechless with grief, the eldest aunt stepped forward and took Lin Chuchu's hand.
"Let's go home first."
Soon, they arrived at the small building by the sea. Without observing their surroundings, the uncle and his older brother ran straight into the house.
Grandma lives on the first floor, and right now Mom and Dad are by her bedside.
When she saw her older brother, Mom finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"Big brother, Mom is dying..."
After saying that, she burst into tears.
My uncle's knees buckled, and he almost knelt on the ground.
"Didn't they say there were still a few days left? How come it's suddenly..."
"The doctor just left, telling us to prepare for the worst."
Dad took a drag of his cigarette, his voice muffled.
