The lone star in the sky gradually faded away, and the dazzling sunlight dyed the sunset color. What an ordinary day it should be! But today, everything seemed different!
After Tang's father and mother heard the news, the two elderly people who were usually full of energy seemed to have lost all their energy and vitality in an instant, and they looked much older.
Old Lady Lan was a few years older. After a period of heartbreak, she gradually calmed down and quietly took care of the three children with Qinghe.
The three children seemed to sense the adults' emotions and were unusually well-behaved. Even Xiao Lie, who was usually the most noisy, sat quietly on the mat and started playing with his least favorite building blocks.
Xiaobai didn't run around the yard today. He lay quietly beside the three little guys. Xiaonuan accidentally stepped on his fur, but he didn't even make a sound.
The Su family was worried about Lan Guoer, so they all rushed over early in the morning.
The old man sighed with heartache when he saw that his granddaughter had become much more haggard overnight!
"Guo'er, if you're sad, just cry! Don't be afraid, you still have so many relatives, we are all here to protect you!"
Lan Guoer could feel her family's worry in her consciousness, and she didn't want them to be sad with her, but at this moment she felt like her soul had been taken away, and she could do nothing but sit there in a daze.
In the afternoon, people heard the news and rushed over one after another. Mr. Meng and Mr. Zhou and his wife arrived the fastest!
Next came Han Wenying, Elder Sun, Dean Hao, and some doctors in the hospital...
Master Wu was greeting the visitors in the main hall, and everyone had a heavy expression.
"What should we do next? Should we prepare for Xiao Tang's funeral?" Old Master Zhou asked sadly.
Master Wu's brows have been furrowed since he received the news. "Let's wait until Guo'er recovers a bit before we talk! The child hasn't spoken for a long time! It's really worrying!"
Han Wenying understood the pain of burying her husband. She wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "We need to persuade her to look at things in a positive way! She's still so young. She needs to look forward to the future."
......There were quite a few people sitting in the main room. Although they couldn't do anything and were silent most of the time, no one thought of leaving.
It was not until dusk that Master Wu sent everyone out. Because Old Man Tang and Mother Tang were not in good condition and the family needed help, Su Guoyu stayed.
Lan Guoer lay quietly in the room all day.
In the evening, Su Guoyu and Mrs. Lan brought the three children in.
They understood Lan Guoer's sadness and her depression at the moment, but they didn't want her to isolate herself for too long.
Children are always a mother's soft spot! They wanted their three children to awaken her hope for life.
The three children have always been well raised and are fair and tender.
They sat around their mother, as if they could sense her sadness. No one made a noise, but just looked at her with confused eyes.
Normally, Lan Guoer had never ignored them like this. After a long silence, Xiao Nuan finally couldn't help it and stretched out her little arms to hug her mother's head.
She pouted and kissed her mother's forehead, just like her mother usually kissed her. Seeing that her mother didn't respond, she clumsily coaxed her, "Mom, smile."
Xiao Lie didn't want to see his mother lying like this. He hugged his mother's arms and shook them, shouting, "Mom, get up!"
Xiao Ling lay directly beside Lan Guoer. He leaned into his mother's arms, tilted his little head back and looked at her quietly, his little brows furrowed. He didn't want his mother to become like this.
The children's actions brought back a bit of Lan Guoer's rationality, and her expression gradually relaxed.
"Guo'er, let's get up and eat something. You haven't eaten for a whole day. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it."
Su Guoyu looked at her, his voice choked with sobs, "Life must go on! You still have three such lovely children. For their sake, you can't be so depressed!"
How could Lan Guo'er not understand all this! Tears silently rolled down her eyes. She just wanted to escape for a while!
But she also knew that avoiding the problem would not solve the problem, and she had to face what she had to face.
That night, she called Su Guosheng and said she was going to the border to see where Tang Zhan had stayed last.
Su Guosheng agreed to her request without hesitation! As long as his daughter was willing to come out, he would support her in whatever she wanted to do.
But he was worried about his daughter walking such a long distance alone.
The distance from Kyoto to the Yunnan border was over 2,000 kilometers, and the train alone would take two or three days! The roads were not safe at the time, and it was too unsafe for a young and beautiful girl like her to go out alone!
So, he asked Su Yan to take a leave and accompany his youngest daughter. It would be more convenient for the siblings to take care of each other on the way.
Lan Guoer gladly accepted the kindness of her father and brother.
Early the next morning, the two boarded a train heading south.
Su Guosheng felt sorry for his daughters, so this time, he used his identity to buy sleeper tickets for them, which were first-class soft sleeper tickets.
It was Lan Guoer's first time to ride in a soft sleeper of this era.
Unlike ordinary sleeper berths, there are only four berths, upper and lower. Moreover, the two lower berths are not for sleeping, but are seats for sitting like sofas.
After closing the door on the aisle, it becomes a relatively private room, and there is also a separate bathroom in the room.
She and Su Yan had just occupied a room, and without being disturbed by outsiders, their journey was much quieter.
Before coming, Lan Guo'er didn't prepare anything in particular. She just casually brought a large bag and stuffed some useful and useless things into it. However, Su Guoyu forced a bag of food on her before she left.
Lan Guoer opened the package, which contained a bag of peach cakes, a dozen tea eggs, a box of braised pork, a few fried cakes and some pickles.
In this day and age, those who can bring these things with them when they go out are considered to be well-off.
Su Yan took out the things in his bag one by one and placed them on the small table between them.
"Aunt Liu stayed up late last night to make these. She knows you love fried meatballs, so she fried some overnight. And knowing you like sweets, she even made some sugar cakes."
Listening to her second brother's chatter and seeing the small table filled with things, Lan Guoer couldn't help but feel wet in the eyes again.
Even without that man, she is still very lucky compared to most people, isn't she?
She has such a loving family, such lovely children, a big house to live in, and endless money!
But why did she feel as if her heart was empty and she could no longer be happy?
