Xiao Liu's face was red from crying. He had served in the military after the founding of the People's Republic of China and was selected from the bottom ranks by Su Yi. He had been following Su Yi for almost twenty years.
Even on his deathbed, he didn't forget Xiao Liu, and instructed his friend to make arrangements for Xiao Liu's future.
"Sir, it's 10 o'clock~"
"Xiao Liu, what time is it?"
"Sir, it's 11:10."
"Little Liu..."
"Sir, it's 12:07."
Su Yi opened his eyes and looked at the people around him. "Are you all here?"
"It's past midnight, Jin Dong, you and Wen Jing need to take good care of yourselves..."
Su Yi died the day after Su Jindong's wedding.
Because Li Yueniang wouldn't allow him to die on the first day.
After the funeral, Li Yueniang decided to bury Su Yi and Qin Xiangxiang together.
“Your father said that he and Comrade Qin Xiangxiang are like-minded, soulmates, and true love, which is incomparable to me, a child bride from feudal society.”
"They want freedom of love and to liberate themselves from feudal thinking."
"Look how deep their love was, they even died together. So, let's bury them together, hoping they can be husband and wife again in their next life."
Su Changqing and Su Changzhi's lips twitched, and they asked cautiously.
"Mom, the security department has already taken away Aunt Qin's body. Are we going to go find it again? Isn't that a hassle?"
Li Yueniang waved her hand dismissively, "What's the big deal? No need for all that trouble. I'll just go to the courtyard later, pick up a couple of pieces of clothing she wore, and bury them with your father's ashes."
Si Gui gave Su Changzhi a push, her eyes filled with longing.
Su Changzhi looked at the three children with pleading eyes, sighed, and advised, "Mother, he is our father and also Sigui's grandfather. If he is really buried with Aunt Qin, then when we go to pay our respects during Qingming Festival or other times, won't we have to pay respects to Aunt Qin as well?"
Why should we let her get such a big advantage?
Scarlett quickly jumped in, "Yes, Scarlett doesn't worship her, she's a bad person."
Li Yueniang thought for a moment, "Forget it, I can't let her take advantage of this. Let's just leave it at that."
Seeing that the younger children seemed relieved, Li Yueniang stood up and went into her room.
Xu Weihua and Su Qingci exchanged a glance. "Your grandma's mood is a bit off."
“I can see it now. She’s someone I’ve been entangled with my whole life. I’ll stay here for a while and keep her company.”
These past few days, Li Yueniang has been eating less, and she hasn't even practiced the Five Animal Frolics exercise in the morning for three consecutive days. She's also been sleeping more than usual.
Not only Xu Weihua and Su Qingci, but also Su Changzhi and Guo Xiaomao noticed that something was wrong.
But when asked by her family, Li Yueniang simply said, "I won't get paid anymore, so I'm in a bad mood, and the scene that day scared me."
Even though Su Qingci and Xu Weihua took care of her and talked to her to cheer her up, Li Yueniang still didn't get up on the fourth day and fell ill in bed.
This illness came on suddenly and violently, as if it had unleashed decades of pent-up emotions.
The younger two generations were terrified. Si Gui and the others stayed by her bedside as soon as school was over, and Yan Yan wanted her grandma.
Aside from sleeping, Guo Xiaomao stayed in the room all day talking to Li Yueniang. Li Yueniang was nearly seventy years old, and everyone was worried that she wouldn't make it through this ordeal.
Unexpectedly, she stayed in bed for more than a month and managed to pull through.
It was springtime again, and Su Qingci helped her grandmother to bask in the sun under the jujube tree in the yard.
Holding her grandmother's wrist, which was as dry as a claw, Su Qingci's eyes inexplicably reddened.
Actually, Grandma always had Grandpa in her heart.
Even though that man hurt her so much.
But being a strong-willed woman, she insisted on pretending to be indifferent to her grandfather's death in front of her children and grandchildren.
She risked half her life to cover up that affection, keeping it hidden from the light of day.
Li Yueniang's health gradually improved, but this illness had damaged her very foundation.
She no longer has the energy and spirit she used to have. The younger generation in the family are either at work or at school, but thankfully Guo Xiaomao is always by her side.
"Qing porcelain~"
Xu Weihua was furious as she watched her daughter pressure cook bone broth.
"You still won't admit it? Look, the pressure cooker is out here!"
Su Qingci remained remarkably calm. "You're overthinking it. Pressure cookers are everywhere. Go to a department store and you'll see they're all made in Shanghai."
Xu Weihua gritted her teeth and pointed to the steel stamp on the handle for Su Qingci to see, "Yes, it was made in Shanghai. Look, it even says 2019 here!"
"Damn it, isn't this the one that Aunt Cheng and I bought ourselves?"
Xu Weihua grabbed Su Qingci by the neck and said, "Tell me, before you were eating and drinking together, you even lied to me, saying that you were offering incense to the 'enlightened monk' who sent you here. And now you're offering incense to him and asking for a pressure cooker?"
Su Qingci shrank her neck and slipped out of Xu Weihua's arm. "So what if you want the pressure cooker? Give up now. You've been framing me for so long, why don't you give up?"
Su Qingci patted the pressure cooker handle. "This is what I gave to that enlightened monk when I offered incense. He can even give me things, so what's wrong with giving me a pressure cooker?"
Xu Weihua was at a loss when faced with Su Qingci's stubbornness.
"Okay, even if that enlightened monk has boundless magical powers and sent it to you, does that mean he can send you anything from the farm?"
Su Qingci glanced at Xu Weihua, "What do you want to do?"
Xu Weihua was delighted and did not deny it.
"You brat, you're even wary of your own mother, would I ever harm you?"
