Chapter 626:
After being scolded by his mother, Xu Maoning did not dare to express his opinion anymore. He shrank his neck and hid behind his brothers, seeking protection.
As expected, Zhang Wenting began to feel depressed, and her tears fell uncontrollably.
Xu Wanning couldn't quite understand what kind of emotion this was, so she turned to Chen Ye for help.
She is married and has been through the same experience, so she should be able to comfort good people.
And Chen Ye was good at talking. She knew how to comfort people. She held Zhang Wenting's hand and talked for a long time, which finally stabilized Zhang Wenting's mood.
"Can I really go back to my parents' home from time to time?"
"Of course." Chen Ye said with a smile: "Our mother-in-law is not the kind to tease her daughter-in-law, so why would she stop you from going back to your parents' home? I I believe that the second aunt has the same views as my mother-in-law. As long as you and Mao Ting can live your own life, it doesn't matter what you do."
Xu Wanning also nodded and cooperated: "Yes, the second aunt is easy to talk to. Second sister-in-law, what do you have to say. If you have any ideas or needs, talk directly to the second uncle and the second aunt. Instead of hiding it, we should be open and honest as a family, which can also reduce a lot of misunderstandings. You should not use your own ideas to speculate on the second aunt's ideas. That is not for yourself. Will it only increase your worries?"
Zhang Wenting nodded in understanding.
Xu Wanning was about to say another word of comfort when she heard Xu Maoning shout: "Sister, I have a phone call for you. It's Yuan Yuqing."
The Yuan family also sent people to attend Xu Maoting's wedding, but after the ceremony, they left .
At this point, what does Yuan Yuqing have to do with her?
For some reason, Xu Wanning always felt a little uneasy.
With this nervous emotion, she picked up the receiver and just said "Hello" when she heard Yuan Yuqing cry: "Sister Wanning, I know I shouldn't call to disturb you at this time. But if I can, , can you come to my house? My grandfather... I'm afraid..."
Yuan Yuqing's words were broken, but Xu Wanning could piece together the general meaning.
Teacher, I'm afraid I really can't hold on anymore.
Xu Wanning could feel a cold air rising from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Her whole body became stiff, her throat was hoarse, and she couldn't even speak a word.
"Aning, are you okay?"
Mao Min, who was nearest, saw Xu Wanning's face turning unusually pale and asked nervously.
After being called by Mao Min, Xu Wanning's consciousness returned, "I know, I'll be right over."
After putting down the phone, Xu Wanning lost all support and fell directly to the ground.
Mao Min quickly gave her a hand, and others gathered around her.
"Aning, what happened?"
"The call was from Yuan Yuqing, could it be..."
Xu Maoning was stared at by several cold eyes in the middle of his words, and he shut up.
Xu Wanning covered her chest with her hands and waited for a while before saying, "I'm afraid the teacher won't be able to survive. I have to go to Yuan's house now to see the teacher off for the last time. Second brother and sister-in-law, I'm sorry." As soon as
the news came out. , everyone present was sighing.
"When we saw Teacher Yuan two days ago, he seemed to be in pretty good condition. It's only been a few days, how could it be..."
Lin Maoqing choked with tears in her eyes.
Xu Maoting put the car key into Lin An's hand, "I drank some wine today and am not suitable to drive. Lin An, you drive An Ning to Yuan's house and let her see Mr. Yuan again."
Xu Wanning is already thinking . It completely flew to Mr. Yuan, so without any delay, he grabbed Lin An's arm and left with him.
Lin Maoqing also followed.
After arriving at Yuan's house, Xu Wanning found that there were many people sitting in the yard, and most of the Yuan family members were there.
Seeing Xu Wanning come in, Yuan Yuqing threw herself into her arms, and her tears quickly wet the clothes on Xu Wanning's chest.
"Sister Wanning, my grandfather, he...he..."
Because of her sadness, Yuan Yuqing couldn't even say a complete sentence.
Xu Wanning patted her back gently and said in a hoarse voice: "Yu Qing, let me go in and see the teacher first."
At this time, Mr. Yuan's bedroom door was opened from the inside, and Father Yuan stood with red eyes. At the door, he said to Xu Wanning: "Aning, your teacher asked you to come in and said that he had something to tell you."
Lin Maoqing subconsciously followed a step, but was grabbed by Lin An.
Yuan Yuqing brought two stools, and after Lin An and Lin Maoqing sat down, she ran to the door to guard them.
Inside the house, Xu Wanning finally saw Mr. Yuan.
It had only been four or five days since we last met, but Mr. Yuan seemed to have been drained of energy all of a sudden. His already thin body became thinner, and his eyes were very cloudy and unable to focus.
Xu Wanning burst into tears instantly.
At this moment, the old man lying on the bed was completely different from the old man in her memory.
Xu Wanning dragged her heavy steps to the bedside. With a "pop", she knelt down on the ground and grabbed Yuan Laogan's right hand, which was so thin that the bones could be seen.
"Teacher..."
She called softly, but what she received in response was silence in the room.
I don't know if Xu Wanning's sobs disturbed Mr. Yuan, but his pupils slowly focused on Xu Wanning.
"Aning is here."
Mr. Yuan said these four short words for a long time with great difficulty. His voice was like the sound of autumn leaves being stepped on.
The sadness of parting suddenly filled me up.
"Teacher..."
"Stop crying."
Mr. Yuan raised his right hand with difficulty and wiped the tears dripping from the corner of Xu Wanning's eyes. He twitched the corners of his mouth and said word by word: "Sorry, at such an important moment today, I'll call you over."
"Teacher, stop talking."
"No, I want to say it." Old Yuan put his hand on Xu Wanning's wrist, "Aning, help me sit up.
" Leaning on the bedside, Yuan Laogang opened his mouth and heard a violent cough.
Xu Wanning hurriedly picked up the water cup placed on the bedside and carefully fed Mr. Yuan some.
"We were master and apprentice, but I failed to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as a teacher. I didn't teach you too much, and I failed to hand over all my contacts to you."
"That's not the case, teacher, you taught me That's enough. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to study hybrid rice now."
Mr. Yuan patted the back of Xu Wanning's hand and continued: "At the moment, the only person I trust is you, Aning. You are a man of great ability. You will definitely be able to carry out my hopes and successfully develop hybrid rice to solve the problem of people in China not having enough to eat, right?"
"Well, I will work hard. Don’t let the teacher down. "
