Chapter 152 The Eighth Master Passed Away
Cui Xue didn't know what to say for a while, and looked at Liang Zongshan for a long time.
Refute him? But he was so ambitious, which was good anyway.
Agree with him? His purpose was not so pure, which gave Cui Xue a headache.
He was a military officer, and he was not in the same system as the Dai family. After climbing up, could he still control others?
But if you want to talk about the advantages, it's not without them. Cui Xue didn't have to be restrained in any action.
Thinking of this, looking at Liang Zongshan's current position, it was a bit disappointing.
"Since you said so, you can't just think about it, you have to do what you say." Cui Xue didn't discourage him, but encouraged him in disguise.
The trip to the capital had little impact on Cui Xue's life. Several companies were still on the right track, and orders and money came in.
It is not easy to make money these days, unlike in later generations, where the economic environment is getting worse and worse, and money is getting harder and harder to make.
After a period of peaceful life, there was a sudden call from the hometown saying that the Eighth Grandpa was seriously ill and might not live for many days, so Cui Xue was asked to go back to see the old man for the last time.
Upon hearing the bad news, Cui Xue packed her things with some sadness and confusion, and hurriedly drove back to her hometown with Xu and Xiao Ruoyun.
All the way to the city, the Eighth Grandpa was still lying in the hospital. When Liang Xiaoying and the others called, they were also asked to go to the People's Hospital in the city.
Cui Yingxiong was waiting at the door of the hospital early, and when he saw Cui Xue, he hurriedly took her to the ward upstairs.
The intensive care unit is basically a single room. The old man is so thin, lying on the bed with tubes inserted all over his body. If it weren't for the fluctuations in the values on the monitor next to him, everyone would have thought that he was dead.
"Your eighth grandfather is old. The doctor said that the disease is getting worse quickly and there is nothing we can do. He was still conscious a few days ago, but he didn't let us tell you, saying that he was afraid of disturbing you. He has been confused these two days. We thought we should tell you so that you can see him for the last time."
Liang Xiaoying must have cried, her eyes were red, and when she saw Cui Xue, she explained the situation of the old man during this period.
"The doctor said that we have to waste our time like this? If it really doesn't work, take the eighth grandfather home?" Cui Xue looked at him for a long time, holding back her tears, and then turned to ask Liang Xiaoying.
There is no mandatory cremation policy now. After discussing with the hospital, we can take the old man home.
"We've been waiting for you to come and do this. The doctor said that if these things are removed, he may not last for half a day."
Cui Xue was silent for a long time after hearing this. Without saying a word, she went straight into the ward and stayed with the old man for a while.
Probably because he was informed of her coming, the old man suddenly woke up after a while.
The last time he woke up was the day before yesterday.
Seeing him wake up, Cui Xue was not only not happy, but even more sad.
Seeing him like that, even people who don't understand anything would know that it was a last gasp.
Cui Xue couldn't hold back her tears any longer and couldn't help but fall down.
"Xue'er, don't cry. Life is full of aging, illness and death. Your eighth grandfather's life was worth it." The old man said tremblingly. "
Grandpa left you something. It's a house in the county. Take it. If it weren't for you, I would still be alone and have no one to collect the body."
Cui Xue shook her head. The old man laughed. Although there were no relatives at home, there were still descendants in the clan. No matter what, there would still be someone to help him deal with his funeral.
But compared with Cui Xue and the others, those descendants in the clan with whom he had a shallow relationship were not what the old man wanted.
He had suffered a lot in his life, and the one that he found most difficult to let go of was the death of his son. Every time he thought about it, he was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep. He
spent the whole day in an empty house, living one day at a time. When he saw other people's children, he couldn't help but smile. Then when he thought about his own empty knees, he couldn't help but feel his eyes warm.
It was Cui Xue who made him feel the love from his grandchildren in his later years. There were people running around for him until his death, and the obsession in his heart was gradually released. When
the people outside saw that the old man had woken up, they knew that it was a last gasp, and they hurried to communicate with the doctor to be discharged from
the hospital and go home. After a while, the procedures were completed, and before he could say a few words to the old man, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Liang Xiaoying and others said they would take the old man out of the hospital.
Cui Xue didn't say anything, but when they were packing up to take him home, the old man insisted to go back to the house in the county instead of the Cui family.
Cui Xue and her family couldn't resist his repeated requests, so they finally took him back to the house in the county.
When they returned to the county from the city, the old man was already pale, breathing more than breathing in, and he looked like he was dying.
"Xue'er..." After entering the house and settling her down on the bed, the old man opened his eyes with difficulty and called Cui Xue with a weak breath.
"Eighth Grandpa?" Cui Xue leaned in to listen carefully to what he wanted to say.
As a result, the old man raised his hand and pointed at the cabinet beside him.
"Dig it out below... and give it to you."
Cui Xue followed his line of sight and understood what he meant. She held his hand and said, "I understand, Eighth Master."
The old man took a few breaths and his eyes rolled back. It was unknown whether he had any last words to say, but he just refused to close his eyes.
After a long while, Cui Xue only felt that the old man's hand was grasped by him and then quickly released.
When she looked at him again, the old man had closed his eyes and died.
Cui Xue was in a trance for a while, and heard suppressed crying in her ears. When she came to her senses, her face was cold. When she touched it, she realized that she didn't know when she shed tears.
Liang Xiaoying and Cui Xiongnian had been through many ups and downs, and they quickly took care of the old man's funeral while holding back their grief.
The clansmen in the village were notified, and they soon came to the county to help with the funeral.
Fortunately, the house that Cui Xue bought for the old man was an independent house with a small yard, so there was a place to hold the funeral, but they didn't know what to do.
The old man had lived in this area for quite a while, and he knew some people in the nearby neighbors. Seeing that there were so many people here, they came to ask and found out that the old man had passed away, and they all felt sorry for a while.
Although the old man died of illness, he was in his eighties, which was considered a long life. In addition, his son was a martyr, so many people came to help and mourn spontaneously.
Cui Xue sorted out her mood and followed Liang Xiaoying to run around. When others asked, she said that she was the old man's granddaughter.
After the funeral stall at home was almost set up, she asked the police station to come and issue a certificate after confirming the death. Then she went to the government to stop the monthly subsidy for her grandfather.
After this process, the people above knew that her grandfather had passed away, and they also came to mourn for him. After
the ritual, the body was carried back to the village for burial the next day. Next to the grave was the grandfather's wife who died young, and his son was buried in the martyrs' cemetery, so he would not be lonely and had company.
