Chapter 269, Can we still be together in the next life?
Tuan Tuan was a little surprised when he received the call from his father, but he was very excited and happy when he heard his father tell him about his mother's decision.
"Dad, I'll be back soon." Originally, the teacher asked him to think about it, but now, he didn't have to think about it and just went.
After hanging up the phone, Tuantuan went directly to find his teacher and leader and told them that he wanted to participate in the research.
The teachers and leaders all felt a little sorry for him when they saw how young he was.
You know, the confidentiality there is at the highest level, and you can't get out until you retire.
After hearing that his family agreed, the two of them said nothing more and directly handed in his report.
And just like that, Tuantuan went home.
Because the research he was doing was dangerous, An Qianqian also planned to give him a life-saving talisman.
It's not that she was worried. She had actually thought about it a long time ago. There was only a little mist water left, and it was useless to the elderly at home, as well as to her and Mao Jianwen.
If you want to go further, it would be a magic pill.
Therefore, two portions were given to Pingping and Tuantuan so that they could save their lives.
This time, An Qianqian did not urge Tuantuan to get married.
Because she knew that if she really let Tuantuan get married, it would be irresponsible to the woman. Although she cared about her own children, she could not make other people's children suffer.
What happened between Pingping and Dujuan was different at the beginning.
Because Pingping's work is not as isolated as Tuantuan's, at least the couple can have time to see each other.
Like Tuan Tuan, unless his wife has the same job as him and works in the same place.
Otherwise, we may only see each other a few times in our lifetime.
Everyone in the family, young and old, was very happy about Tuantuan's return.
Xiaohao, Anan and Yuanyuan haven't seen him for many years.
After the brothers and sisters had a good reunion, Tuantuan stayed at home with his parents.
Until his vacation is over.
"Tuan Tuan, keep this thing. It's life-saving stuff. There are only two of them. I gave one to your eldest brother. You two are the only children in the family that I worry about."
She used the mist water to make two pills. When she used up all the mist water, the mist space dissipated and she couldn't find them no matter how hard she looked.
But it had no effect on her at all.
"Mom, please keep this thing for yourself, I don't need it." Tuantuan's eyes were red. The people he felt most sorry for in this life were his parents.
"Silly child, your father and I don't need this, and neither do your grandparents. This thing is only useful to you, but there is only one. Remember, don't give it to the taskmaster."
Some things cannot be explained clearly.
Tuantuan is not stupid.
"Mom, don't worry, I won't give it to anyone else." This is something his mother gave him, and he won't give it to anyone else.
Taking his mother's love with him, Tuantuan left his family.
After sending Tuantuan on the plane, An Qianqian fell ill.
The high fever wouldn't go away and he kept talking in his sleep all night.
But I couldn't hear it clearly and didn't know what she was saying.
Mao Jianwen knew some of his daughter-in-law's secrets, but she didn't want to tell and he didn't ask.
When Dujuan came back, An Qianqian gave her the last pill and asked her to take it to Pingping, and also gave Pingping a message.
Pingping is honest, but he is not stupid.
After receiving the things his mother brought him, he hid them close to his body.
After An Qianqian recovered from her illness, Mao Jianwen basically stayed with her every day.
Life finally calmed down.
Guan Qiuling would bring her children over from time to time, but she would not live here.
Yuanyuan has never married and she has always been busy with work.
In the blink of an eye, the children grew up and started their own families, and they also grew old.
Zhou Yan and Wang Shangyu's two children also got married, and the relationship between the two families was as close as one family.
Ruirui took over her mother's company.
Yanyan inherited his father's brain and has a clear division of labor.
Han Meng's son also graduated from college.
He follows his father's path, and both the Han family and IKEA are very supportive.
Everyone has a happy life.
The only thing that worries people is Yuanyuan.
When An's mother and other old people passed away, she was still unmarried.
This is what the old man cares about most.
But she didn't find the right person, and she didn't want to compromise, so she remained single.
In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.
Mr. Wang and Mr. Li passed away five years ago.
He died at the age of ninety-three.
Their death makes everyone look down upon life.
Mao Jianwen also stepped back.
He moved into Chihui Village with An Qianqian.
And An's mother also moved An's father's grave to Kyoto.
She seemed to sense that her time was running out.
This matter should have been done earlier, but it was kept delayed. At the strong request of An's mother, An Qianqian moved her father's grave to Kyoto.
A few years later, An's mother passed away.
As soon as An's mother left, Li Yulan and Mao's father couldn't bear it anymore.
The three old men passed away within less than half a year of each other.
In a year and a half, Mao Jianwen and An Qianqian saw their parents off.
When Mao Jianwen retired, the state re-awarded him the honors he had received over the years, and he was considered an official academician of the Xia State.
Watching their children grow up and seeing their parents off, they have also grown old.
"Can you please keep your son in control and stop sending his kids to me? I can't even have a few days of peace and quiet." An Qianqian hated An An's shameless character.
Mao Jianwen was clearing the weeds in the yard with a small hoe in his hand.
I don’t know what’s wrong with these weeds. They grow very tall if they are not cleaned up in a day.
"He is your son too. You don't want Zijin to come back, but you know what you are saying. Why do I get to be the bad guy?" Mao Jianwen is not giving in to his wife at all.
"What do you mean you get to be the bad guy? Look at what Zijin is like. He can go up mountains and down rivers. There is nothing he can't do. An An wasn't so naughty when he was a child." She was very patient with her son, but she really had no patience with her grandchildren.
"An An was a very naughty child, but he dared to run away with his sister." Don't think he will forget things just because he is old.
An Qianqian choked, "It was so many years ago, and I still remember it." Speaking of this, An Qianqian also laughed.
The old couple now lives a simple and happy life in the village. They quarrel from time to time, and sometimes even have a small fight and run away from home.
After their parents passed away, Liu Ying and Mao Jianxing became peacemakers between the two of them, coming to give them advice from time to time.
Now An Qianqian's only hobby is brewing wine. When she feels uncomfortable or in a bad mood, she will drag her sister-in-law to drink with her.
Actually, Liu Ying and Mao Jianxing sometimes privately looked forward to the two of them having a quarrel or something.
This way they can get some wine to drink.
Yuanyuan finally found the right person when she was in her forties.
After An Qianqian and Mao Jianwen got to know each other, they were very satisfied with this son-in-law.
Although she got married late, she finally found someone to accompany her for the rest of her life.
Of course, her parents are happy for her.
Of the four children, three can be seen, and there has been no news of the other for more than ten or twenty years.
When An Qianqian and Mao Jianwen were in their 90s, they returned to Xiangshan Villa,
An An moved into the other courtyard with his family, while Yuan Yuan and her lover lived next door.
"Tuantuan hasn't come back yet?" I don't know if the loss of space has caused An Qianqian to have sequelae.
She has increasingly poor memory now, and even if she does remember, it is from the past.
"This child, why is he always disobedient? Tell me, he is already in the third year of high school, but he still likes to play outside after school." An Qianqian became more and more confused.
Mao Jianwen is fine, nothing special.
But he felt sorry for her. She became like this because he missed her so much.
"It's not late yet. The sun has just set. Why are you in such a hurry?" He heard her ask this question countless times a day, but his answer was different every time.
It’s just like when they were kids and four kids made mistakes, he helped them out.
When An An came home from get off work, he saw his mother waiting at the door again. He felt sad, thinking that his mother must be missing Tuantuan.
He has asked over the years, but his father just wouldn't tell him. Now he can't find him even if he wants to.
"Dad, Mom, why are you standing outside? It's windy, be careful not to get sick." After getting off the car, An An went straight to the two elders.
"An An, you're back. Where's your brother?" I don't know if she did it on purpose or if she really has no memory.
An An looks much older now than before, but she recognized him at the first sight.
But all she remembered about Tuantuan was his senior year in high school.
"The teacher asked him to do homework today because the college entrance examination is coming soon and he wants to get into a good university, so the teacher gave him special tutoring." An An explains to his mother every day.
"Well, let's not wait for him. Let's go back to the house to eat and leave some for him."
When they returned to the house and saw the table full of food, An Qianqian picked up the bowl and left some food for Tuan Tuan. Every dish was his favorite.
Things like this happen every day.
Repeated every day.
The family members didn't dare to tell her, for fear that she would remember something unhappy.
Their health is getting worse and worse and they can't stand any more stimulation.
Pingping and Dujuan were transferred back to Kyoto, which was considered a high-profile move. Pingping still got into trouble that year, but fortunately he used that medicine to save his life.
But because he was injured, he could no longer stay in the special forces and was later transferred directly back to the Kyoto Military Region.
Now I live in the military family compound.
Xiangshan also gave it to An An with Pingping's consent.
Now Zijin has grown up and is about to get married.
But Tuantuan hasn’t come back yet, and as a mother, how can I not miss him?
Two years later, Mao Zijin got married, and although his two younger brothers were still not married, his grandchildren had finally made a good start.
It was the second year after Mao Zijin got married, and shortly after An Qianqian celebrated her 95th birthday.
She suddenly fainted.
He was in a coma for three days.
During these three days, Mao Jianwen used all his connections and finally contacted Tuantuan.
Tuantuan, who is already old, is still contributing to the country and the people. When he received the call, he was shocked.
Yes, he hasn’t been back for more than 30 years.
After learning that his mother was critically ill, he put down the experiments at hand, handed in all the data, and then left the place where he had struggled all his life.
This place, once you enter, you can't leave, and once you leave, you can never enter again.
For so many years, he has not been able to fulfill his filial duties to his parents. Now, he has to see them off for the last time.
"Academician Mao, are you really leaving?" The students brought by Tuantuan surrounded him one by one.
"Yeah, I'm leaving."
Looking at the people around him, he felt the same feeling his father had when he gave up his experiment.
There is a successor.
"I have been worthy of heaven, earth, and people in my life, but I have failed my parents. Now my mother is critically ill, and I have to go back."
Many people cried after hearing this.
They all came in with faith and knew what this life would be like.
"Okay, there's no need to be sad. The teacher is waiting outside for your fruitful experience in the world."
After calming down, Mao Zhengming comforted everyone, then packed up his things and left the place overnight.
When Tuantuan arrived in Kyoto, he felt somewhat unfamiliar with the outside world.
Brothers, no matter how long you haven’t seen each other, you can recognize him in the crowd at the first sight.
"Second brother." The person who came to pick up Tuantuan was Mao Tiananan.
"I'm finally back. It's good to be back. It's good to be back." Tuantuan knew that he had people protecting him.
But this did not prevent him from recognizing his brother.
"Let's go to the hospital. Big brother is back."
Mom woke up once, but the name she called was Tuan Tuan.
Pingping, Anan and Yuanyuan couldn't help but break down after hearing this.
"Mom, is she okay?" Tuantuan asked anxiously after getting in the car.
An An's eyes were red.
Shake your head.
"It's not very good. She has been waiting for you to come back." After saying that, An An burst into tears of pain.
"I am sorry, Mom. I have been unfilial all these years." No matter how powerful Tuantuan is, he is still a son.
When he arrived at the hospital and saw Tuantuan, Mao Jianwen walked up to him and slapped him without saying a word.
Tuan Tuan was knocked to the ground.
The people who were protecting him were stopped by the bodyguards around Mao Jianwen as soon as they rushed out.
They are all responsible for the life safety of important personnel.
Their appearance startled the members of the protection group.
After understanding, they all relaxed.
"Dad, I'm sorry." Looking at her father with gray hair, Tuantuan burst into tears.
"You haven't done anything wrong to me. When I gave birth to you, I thought that you wouldn't always be with us." Mao Jianwen's voice was very hoarse.
It can be heard that he hasn't had a good rest for a long time.
"Go see your mother. She has been waiting for you for decades." Yes, decades.
I didn't receive a single phone call or a single letter.
It's like the whole person disappeared.
No news at all.
Eventually she became ill from missing him.
I don’t know if it was Tuan Tuan’s good luck, but An Qianqian woke up just when he came in.
She recognized her son, Tuan Tuan, at first sight.
She raised her old and frail hand and waved to Tuantuan with a smile: "Tuantuan, you're back. Have you finished your work? How long can you stay at home this time?" An Qianqian's voice was very weak.
But everyone could hear the joy and excitement in her words.
Mao Jianwen was afraid that she would get too excited and hurt herself.
He hurried to her side and helped her up: "He is back, don't get excited. Now he can stay at home for a long time. When the time comes, we will take him back to the village and let him help me pull weeds and trim your flowers."
The doting in his eyes has always been there, and the cherishment in his eyes has always been on her alone.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Tuantuan is a man with great ambitions. How can he stay at home all the time?"
After the old couple said a few words, An Qianqian turned all her attention to Tuan Tuan.
"He's thinner and older, but still as handsome as before. My son is good-looking and has a bright future." When Tuantuan came closer, An Qianqian touched his face, looking at it carefully.
"Mom." Tuantuan burst into tears.
"Mom is here, here she is." Just like when they were little, An Qianqian stood up and patted his back.
"Did you get wronged at work? It doesn't matter, tell me and I'll help you vent your anger."
When they were young, whenever the children were wronged they would come back to complain, and then she would bring the old lady at home to beat them up.
What a beautiful scene it was.
"Mom, I miss you. I miss you." Tuantuan burst into tears.
"Come back if you miss mom. Stay at home for a few more days."
Such a heartwarming scene made everyone cry.
Tuantuan did not go home that night. He stayed in the hospital, as if he wanted to make up for the lost time.
Mao Jianwen was unhappy that his father came back and stole his wife, so he sent him to the next door.
He slept on the hospital bed with Qianqian.
"Brother Jianwen, it's great to have you in my life." The smile on An Qianqian's face never stopped.
She held his hand and said, "If there is an afterlife, can we still be together?"
Mao Jianwen held her hand back and said, "Okay, we will be together in the next life, forever."
"But in the next life, can we not have so many children?" A child is what she wanted. After all these years, she has become indifferent to everything.
Being a parent isn't easy.
"Okay, let's not have children in the next life."
He complied with all her requests.
He did it for her even though she didn't mention it.
Slowly, An Qianqian closed her eyes with a smile.
Mao Jianwen seemed to have sensed something and said, "Wait for me."
After saying that, he also smiled and closed his eyes.
····
When parents pass away, the ones who regret the most are the children, because they want to take care of their parents but they are no longer around.
The Complete Book
There is nothing much to write about here. I can still write some water if I want, but the results are too bad, so there is no need to continue. Besides, there are many things I cannot write, and the outline I made at the beginning cannot be used, so I can only end it here.
