"Yes, let's take a plane. The manager of the service company here has given me the plane tickets. The flight is at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay, you must be exhausted these past two days. Go to sleep now. Are we going to visit the mistress again tomorrow morning?"
Liu Jingxiang nodded. "Let's go. That way, we can feel at ease."
Zhang Hongmei also learned that Liu Changhong's family had already sold the house, which was quite efficient. "Lu Jing told them that the house doesn't need to be kept; it should be sold."
“Hongmei, Lu Yue wants to buy property in Haishi. Let’s leave it to her.”
"That's fine. People from Liujiatun won't get involved in this. You can arrange it as you see fit."
That evening, the couple chatted afterward. "Brother Zhang, you know, this person is really quite strange. You're so old, and no one will take care of you in the future. Why didn't you leave the house to Jingxiang? Why keep the money in your hands? Honestly, otherwise Grandma wouldn't have liked her."
Zhang Shouyi just smiled, saying that everyone is different.
The next morning at five o'clock, Liu Jingxiang and his wife got up and cleaned the house inside and out. Then they went out to have breakfast, bought fruit and two cans of malted milk powder to go see Shen Xiuting.
There are actually quite a few elderly people in the nursing home. Some are like Shen Xiuting, who have no descendants, and others are people who were arranged to live there by the government.
So it was quite lively in the morning. Liu Jingxiang and his wife put down the gifts, sat with Shen Xiuting for a while, and then said goodbye and left. Their flight was at 9:30, and they couldn't be late.
Shen Xiuting hesitated, knowing in her heart that Jingxiang would be the only one to send her off at her funeral; she couldn't count on anyone else.
I really hope that the couple can stay here, so they don't have to live in this nursing home. Actually, she used to look down on this place, but now she has no choice.
I deeply regret it. If I hadn't made things difficult for Jingxiang back then, I would have found him a job after graduation, and maybe he would have stayed in Haishi. I would have had children of my own then.
One wrong step leads to another, resulting in this situation today.
As Shen Xiuting watched the two figures leave, tears streamed down her face. She didn't know if it was from uncertainty about the future or from regret.
"Little sister, don't cry. It's already quite good that someone has come to see you. You'll realize in time that almost no one here really cares about you."
Once your eyes close, you'll know nothing more. Most cremations are handled here, but some families who are kind enough will take the ashes back with them.
After hearing this, Shen Xiuting cried even more miserably.
"Old sister, you don't know, my old man just passed away, and now I'm all alone. The man who was just now was my old man's grand-nephew."
Why didn't you let them stay? Or go back with them?
“They all live in the capital. I still have my mother-in-law, and she doesn’t recognize us at all. This grand-nephew even came here secretly. They won’t take me back.”
"Young lady, you look like you come from a wealthy family. Why don't you leave your assets to her so she can take care of you in your old age?"
Shen Xiuting fell silent. In truth, she regretted selling the house. Back then, she had hoped that Jingxiang and his wife would beg her, but they simply didn't care.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiuting sighed. Knowing Jingxiang's character, he would definitely come to her funeral. So be it.
The couple got off the plane and saw their older brother's assistant come to pick them up.
"Thank you, Xiaolin."
"You're too kind. Let me take you to wash up. We should also buy you some gifts, otherwise the old man might worry."
The couple nodded and were led to a courtyard by Xiaolin.
"Xiao Lin, you go back now. We've rested enough, we'll take a car back ourselves."
After the two bought some fruit and candy and returned home, the old lady glanced at them and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay a few more days? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The two of them laughed and said they missed home, and that finally put an end to the matter.
With only two days left before school starts, the four of them stayed home with their mother.
"Are you really not staying overnight?" Zhang Hongmei asked them again.
“Mom, we come back every day, it’s not far.”
“I’m worried that the weather will change in the future, and the place in Xinyuan is too small. Otherwise, our family can move back there, and it will be more convenient for you to go to school.”
“Mom, we’re all grown up now, you don’t need to worry.” Zhang Ruifeng quickly comforted his mother.
"Hey! No matter how old you are, that child is still my child."
You four should stay in the dorms. If there are any special circumstances, you can stay there directly.
That won't work either; I don't know if you're safe.
Looking at his mother like this, Zhang Zhenye put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Mom, you know we can let you know, really, don't worry, going to university is the same as going to high school."
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Hongmei looked at her four sons and accepted the fact that they were going to university. In her mind, going to university meant growing up.
He sighed again; his sons had all grown up.
The four brothers couldn't understand their mother's feelings, but they knew she was unhappy.
In their hearts, their mother is the most important person, and she must be number one.
The four brothers took turns telling jokes or stories about the outside world to make their mother happy.
"Mom, why don't you take us to school?" Zhang Weiyu suddenly thought of something and said to his mother with a smile.
“I would also like to see you off, but I’m afraid it might have a bad influence on you. Almost all the professors at the school know me. If you would like special treatment, I would like to go.”
“Mom, we have no relationship. We are proud to have such an elegant and beautiful mother.”
Zhang Hongmei was amused by Gu Yaozu's words. "Okay, I'll take you to register the day after tomorrow. Hehe, I'm proud to have sons like you."
After dinner, the family sat together chatting. Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo learned that Zhang Hongmei was going to take her grandchildren to school, and the two insisted on going too.
"Alright, you can both go." Zhang Shouyi was truly afraid of the two of them. They were both a hundred years old, and instead of staying put, they insisted on joining in the fun.
“But there’s a condition: you must bring a wheelchair. The road to school is quite long, and I’m afraid you’ll get tired,” Zhang Hongmei stated her opinion clearly, not wanting the elderly woman to push herself.
"Okay, wheelchair it is. Haha, I've finally gotten around to sending my child to university."
The three children immediately declared that they wanted to go too. "Auntie, we also want to see what Capital University is like. I want to go to this university in the future," Xiang Dong said confidently.
"Okay, let's all go as a family."
Xiao Wu gave Xiang Dong a thumbs up from the side.
Now there are nine people sending him to university, not counting bodyguards.
