The children each picked some fruit. After having dinner at Song Xixi's house, they went to the cram school to say goodbye to Lin Lu and caught the last bus back home.
It should have been a happy day, but the good mood was ruined by bad news in the evening.
——My grandfather passed away in Kyoto due to illness.
I heard that the disease was very severe. He was sent to the hospital in the morning and was declared to have died in the afternoon.
Old people always return to their roots, but how can someone who has gone there take the train back?
Train attendants are also not allowed on the train.
The brothers who followed were all panicked.
There was no clear statement from the Xu family. In fact, they rarely saw each other once a day. Although they lived in the house arranged by them, they were not together at all.
Several people waited for so long but didn't get any news about finding them jobs.
Later, Li Jinyang stopped someone and asked if he could find a job for them. But the answer he got was: "I'm sorry, we only recruit college graduates. I'm afraid you can't."
He dismissed the person very coldly and bluntly.
The subtext is still "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that your own conditions are not up to standard, and this is not my fault."
After the old man was admitted to the hospital, his family only paid him a quick visit. Xu Wanglin stayed in the ward alone for a long time, and the old man passed away not long after he left.
The brothers thought that their cousin must have said something to their grandfather that caused him to die so quickly, but they had no evidence, and they had no money or power in Kyoto, so what could they do?
I can only call home.
It costs a lot of money to stay in the hospital every day, and they simply can't afford it.
After getting the news, my uncle called Aunt Liu's house again, and this time it was Li Xianglian who answered the phone.
The difference from last time was that she seemed to have expected it and accepted the result calmly.
The uncle had suggested that Song Chen drive to Kyoto to fetch the person. Li Xianglian stabbed him in the face.
"Let your kids hire a car in Kyoto to bring them back. Xiao Chen can't bear to drive for a month to Kyoto to pick someone up by himself."
They are reluctant to spend money over there!
He sighed and said, "Sister, who would be willing to take a dead person with their car? The price they would pay is too high and we can't afford it. Xiaoyang and the others don't know anyone in Kyoto. You are also my daughter, so now we can only rely on Xiaochen."
Li Xianglian was completely furious: "Whatever, they can look for me or not, my Xiaochen won't go."
He hung up the phone.
…
Li Xianglian was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She returned home without saying a word. She was so silent that even Lin Changchun noticed her extremely low emotional level.
After some inquiries, Lin Changchun finally learned about his father-in-law's affairs. He took a few puffs of leaf tobacco and said:
"Let Xiaochen take him back. The dead are greater than the dead. He is your biological father. Now that this matter is over, don't have any contact with him in the future."
Li Xianglian was already very angry, and was also irritated by his cigarettes. She slapped him to the ground and said, "If you want to get beaten, get out of here and get beaten."
Lin Changchun didn't dare to provoke her directly, and muttered quietly: "Hey, you crazy woman, I've offended you."
He picked up the cigarette and smoked it at the door.
He only smoked before the mother and son came back.
Li Xianglian was in a daze under the lamp, and her eyes gradually turned red.
She said that Kyoto was a very weird place, but she insisted on going there, and now she wants to trouble someone to pick her up.
What a sin! I never wanted to let my two children go there again in this life, but you had to force them.
After work, Song Chen went straight to the cram school to pick up the students, and the family of three came back together.
Lin Lu immediately noticed that the atmosphere at home was not right.
Song Chen secretly asked Lin Changchun and only then did he understand why his mother-in-law had that expression.
After discussing it with Lin Lu for a few minutes, we all sat together and expressed our views on this matter.
"Dad is right. The dead are the greatest. It's no problem for me to go and pick him up. The most important thing is to bring grandpa back and let him rest in peace."
Li Xianglian cursed, "Go to hell! Kyoto is a place where people eat people. How can it be that easy to go there? And it takes at least two months to go there and back. How can you drive that long by yourself?"
As children, we shouldn’t care too much when encountering such a big thing, but those people are really so annoying.
He didn't use a tone to negotiate with you, but told you directly to ask your son-in-law to go and pick him up.
What on earth were those things doing?
It’s not like all the sons-in-law in their families are dead.
Song Chen: "It's okay, I can just ask someone who can drive to go with me, and we can take turns driving."
Song Chen was not a saint and he also had selfish motives.
The reason why he was so active was because his grandfather gave his wife an extremely precious heirloom.
They have already given the things, so they have to take the people back no matter what.
Just think of it as travel expenses. Be more optimistic and you won’t be so angry.
Li Xianglian: "I'll go with you." It seemed that she had made some kind of decision.
Song Chen: "No, you're old, and the road is hard to walk on. It's very bumpy. I'll just ask someone to go. You all just wait at home."
Lin Lu also told her not to cause trouble.
Li Xianglian felt that the people over there shouldn't get any advantage. "Tell your uncles to go with you and let them do any work that's needed."
Song Chen curled his lips and said, "Forget it. If I let them go, they'll just act like masters. I'd rather have some peace and quiet."
They are all people who can't drive and can only sleep along the way. He may have to pay for their meals and listen to their noise.
Li Xianglian just wants a cigarette.
Lin Lu comforted her, saying the same thing as Lin Changchun: "Be more tolerant. Grandpa is gone now. I won't have any contact with them after I finish my business."
Li Xianglian: "I'm not going, and you shouldn't go either. It's bad luck for you over there. You'd better stay home and wait for Xiaochen to come back."
Lin Lu smiled and said, "I'm not going." Her physical condition was not yet able to support her sitting in the car for so long.
.....
It's so hot now, the body might start to stink soon.
No need to go and come back quickly.
The next day, they prepared food for Song Chen and called the experienced driver whom they had arranged last night. They arrived at Lijiaba after six o'clock.
The news about my grandfather spread throughout the entire village yesterday. Everyone knew that the old man of the Li family went to Kyoto to enjoy a good life, but he died after only a few days of enjoying it.
Seeing a large truck parked in his yard, some people who had not yet gone to work came over to watch the fun, and the family relatives helped to move the coffin into the truck.
Of the old man's five grandsons, four went, and only Li Jinwu did not go. He learned the news last night and did not go to work at the brick factory today. He waited for Song Chen to come and discussed going with him.
There was no time to waste, so after saying a few goodbyes to his family, Song Chen got in the car and left.
After the car drove away, Li Xianglian also planned to go home, not wanting to give the people here any advantage at all.
Things happened too quickly and everyone was a little flustered. Although they had experience last time, the situation had changed this time.
