Chapter 263
The rumor was resolved and did not affect the relationship between Chen Xi and Situ Luo.
Chen Xi had no such thoughts at all. In her opinion, dating was something that should be done after graduation from college.
As for Situ Luo, he has seen a lot abroad and is more mature than Chen Xi. However, it is hard to say whether he has any thoughts at the moment. He just has a vague feeling of affection, which he himself is not aware of.
As for Wang Lin, after this incident, she also felt the pain of being pointed at by her classmates.
She had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere, hoping desperately to graduate as soon as possible.
Zhang Chaoyang came back, solved Nuannuan’s problem, and left again.
However, in the children's hearts, the tall image of their father is deeper and more specific.
In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of 1988.
"Xiao Di, take a break. You are still so impatient. There is no rush for the vegetable garden in the backyard. Take your time."
Grandma Qian handed Xu Di a cup of warm water and asked her to drink some water and take a rest.
"Grandma, it's okay. The weather is good these two days. Let's clean it up quickly. In a few days, we can plant the seeds. May Day will be here soon."
Xu Di drank a glass of water and felt really thirsty.
"Chaoyang and the children haven't come back yet. I don't know how grandpa is doing over there."
"It's only a matter of time before people get old. Zhang Gensheng is almost 90 years old now, and he also had a lot of illnesses when he was young.
We are already lucky. We have lived a few decades longer than those who have passed away. We have seen and enjoyed a lot. It is enough. ”
Grandma Qian now takes life and death lightly and has no worries.
Chaoyang is developing steadily, Xiaodi is guarding the rear, the three children are also doing well, and the future is promising.
"Grandma, I can't bear to let you go. You have to live well and watch Nuannuan and the others get married."
"Then you'll become an old witch, living to such an old age and annoying people."
"No."
Xu Di chatted and laughed with his grandmother and was in a good mood.
Grandma and the Xu family’s grandparents are in good health. Although they are over 80 years old, they eat and sleep well.
Zhang Chaoyang and his friends came back in the afternoon, with serious expressions on their faces.
"Grandpa, what's going on?"
"It's just a matter of a few days. Grandma Fang is staying there. No one can say anything. She said she wants to stay with Grandpa until the end."
Zhang Chaoyang has complicated feelings towards his grandfather. He feels that he transferred his feelings too quickly and caused his grandmother to suffer so much. Although grandma has let it go, she still can't get close to grandpa.
Now, looking at the old man lying on the hospital bed, who was also a veteran, he felt extremely sad.
"Chaoyang, go talk to grandma."
Xu Di knew that at this time, only grandma could comfort Chaoyang.
"Grandma, Grandpa, it's just a matter of two days, he wants to see you."
"Well, I'll go see him tomorrow. Don't worry about it. Our generation's affairs have nothing to do with you.
Your grandfather was very good to you, so accompany him well on his last journey. ”
"I know. I'll go to the hospital with you tomorrow."
Grandma Qian wanted to be alone for a while, and Zhang Chaoyang didn't say anything. He respected his grandmother's idea.
Grandma Qian sat quietly in the rocking chair in front of the window, looking back on the past few decades of her life. She had no regrets for choosing to fulfill her fate at that time.
Zhang Gensheng, they had known each other since childhood and had a brief period of happy time together, but it was too short.
Now that I'm at this age, I can let go of everything. Just treat it as a farewell to an old friend who is about to go on a long journey. One less person is gone.
I wonder if there was anyone to see her off when she left.
The next day, Zhang Chaoyang drove and accompanied his grandmother to the hospital.
"Sister Qian, you are here. Please chat with Lao Zhang."
"Okay, you should be more open-minded. At our age, there is nothing we can't let go of. We will all die sooner or later."
Grandma Qian patted Comrade Fang's hand and sat on the chair next to the bed.
Zhang Chaoyang helped Grandma Fang out and let her talk to Grandpa.
"Sanya, you're here, long time no see.
I'm leaving, and I want to say sorry to you before I go.
I have caused you so much harm in this life. ”
“It’s hard to say who is right and who is wrong between you and me. It’s fate and the times.
I suffered a lot in the first half of my life, but I enjoyed life in the second half.
With Chaoyang, Xiaodi, Nuannuan, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, I am content. ”
Grandma Qian looked at the shriveled old man in front of her, who was reduced to a bag of bones due to illness.
“Yes, you are blessed in the future.
Your son is unreliable, but you raised a good grandson, a good granddaughter-in-law, and three lovely great-granddaughters to take care of you. ”
When talking about Chaoyang, Mr. Zhang smiled. He was the most promising grandson of the Zhang family.
There were also three children who came over yesterday. They were very confident in their speech and behavior, their words were meaningful, and they all had their own ideas.
Although it’s a pity, they are all girls, so I’m content.
People should not be too greedy.
"Gensheng, we are already lucky. Our children and grandchildren are safe and sound. There is nothing to worry about.
I come here today to say goodbye to you and see you off in advance. When the day you leave, I won’t come anymore. ”
"Okay, let's say goodbye now. Take care of yourself and try to live a few more years so that you can see the future prosperity of our motherland on behalf of those who have left."
The two old men, two comrades-in-arms, looked at each other quietly and said goodbye silently in their hearts.
Grandma Qian went back and Grandpa Zhang left in the early morning of the next day.
Xu Di and Zhang Chaoyang brought their children to the farewell ceremony, but Grandma Qian did not attend.
Grandpa Zhang's three sons, one daughter, grandsons and granddaughters all rushed back to see him off for the last time.
Now that the old man has been laid to rest, Grandma Fang wants to move out of the retirement home. She wants to live a quiet life for a few days.
"Mom, please move to our place."
Uncle Zhang is Grandma Fang’s eldest son, and it is his duty-bound responsibility to provide for his mother in her old age.
"I won't go to anyone else's place. I'll rent a yard, find a domestic worker, and live there by myself."
Grandma Fang refused. She and Lao Zhang had lived together for decades, and most of the time, she was the one who indulged him. She is over eighty years old and doesn't want to accommodate anyone for the rest of her life.
"Mom, I have finished tidying up the small courtyard I bought at Peking University. Hanming and I will live in the school's staff building. It's close, and I can visit you often.
We can rest assured that you can live by yourself. ”
Aunt Zhang expressed her thoughts, she also wanted to be closer to her mother.
We had been apart for more than ten years, and now that we are finally back, we are both busy with work and don’t have many opportunities to meet.
Now, although she has not retired yet, her workload is not heavy.
Xuan Ning and Wei Wei are also married and have their own families, so she doesn't have to worry about them anymore.
"Okay, I'll go live with Zhang Nan, and you two brothers will be in charge of the housekeeping."
Grandma Fang also wants to be closer to her daughter. Compared with her daughter-in-law, her daughter is more convenient.
The matter was settled, and Grandma Fang packed up her things and moved to Zhang Nan's courtyard.
Through the introduction of a colleague, Aunt Zhang found an honest and capable housekeeper to take care of Grandma Fang.
Aunt Zhang's courtyard was not far from Xu Di's home. After Grandma Qian found out, she went to see her.
It's quite magical that the two old ladies can occasionally talk to each other.
Aunt Zhang and her family were close to Xu Di's family and had a good relationship.
Now, the exchanges are more frequent.
