Speaking of this, I can also extend my fingers and make the number "three":
"For at least thirty years, his brother and sister-in-law will be able to protect him. It's OK. By then, Xiaoci will be quite old and have made a name for herself. Jing'an, do you remember what I said? And when he finds a partner in the future, you have to learn from me."
If you really find someone from the countryside, no matter how unhappy you feel, don't follow the example of your sister-in-law and do something shameful.
No matter how hard she tries, the mother-in-law can't stop her daughter-in-law from coming home.
Just accept it. If you feel uncomfortable, just think about it, our Chu family is from the countryside, what's the big deal?
Within three days, Mrs. Chu's health started to improve, and she started to make a fuss and demanded to be discharged from the hospital.
No one listened to her.
Are you kidding? It’s good enough that I can cooperate with the hospital to move from the intensive care unit to the general ward. How can I go home?
When we get home, without these instruments, if Mr. Buddha gets sick again and the treatment is delayed, where can we go to regret it?
But all the staff felt relieved.
You know, since the old lady woke up, her appetite has gradually increased, her voice has returned to normal, and she looks very energetic.
So on the first day of being transferred to the general ward, Liang Yinqiu and Bi Yue said, "You two should go home. The two babies are so young, go home and have a good sleep and spend some time with them. Yifeng has been up all night."
He then chased Zhang Jingan away: "Your unit has a lot of things going on. All the real-time reports need to be reviewed. Don't make any mistakes. Hurry up and have a good rest before going to work. I don't have a job, but I can come alone."
As for Chu Yiqing and Wang Jianan, she waved them off without hesitation: "We can't have so many people in the ward. This hospital isn't owned by our family."
Chu Hongtian was also asked to go to the military district. You have to know that even though it is the 1990s, the Kyoto City troops are still there and martial law is still in place. Otherwise, Chu Hongtian should have started to retreat to the second line by now.
Liang Yinqiu placed a simple iron bed in front of Old Madam Chu's bed. Before falling asleep, she tied a red rope around her wrist, with the other end of the rope around the old lady's neck. "Mom, pull the rope if you need anything."
"Don't waste time. I've been in such a mess these past few days. I'm not going to die. Just go to sleep."
Finally, in the middle of the night, just after midnight, the red string woke Liang Yinqiu up:
"Yinqiu?" Old Madam Chu called out to her eldest daughter-in-law again with a gentle attitude she had never used before: "Yinqiu."
The noise, the attitude, the way she always called her by her given name, but suddenly it changed to Yinqiu. Liang Yinqiu was so frightened that she almost fell off the iron bed. "Mom, what's wrong?"
In the middle of the night, Old Madam Chu looked as lucid as could be. She sat on the hospital bed, smiled at Liang Yinqiu and said:
"I'm lucky. If I had a different family, I would have died long ago. I'm really rich to be alive this far.
Yinqiu, please forget about all the bad things about me.
It's not easy for anyone to take care of the elderly. You have suffered a lot over the years.
When I'm gone, send me to your aunt. My sister and I will treat the Northeast as our hometown. Just like when we were little, we can sleep in the same bed together when our parents are not at home.
You are all fine, I am gone, you can relax and unwind."
Liang Yinqiu had a silly expression on her face. For a moment she even thought she was dreaming, that her mother-in-law was leaving.
But after saying this, Old Lady Chu lay down, and then the hand tied with the red string drooped down without any warning.
"mother!"
And just like that, Old Mrs. Chu passed away.
When she was first admitted to the hospital, everyone was mentally prepared. But she was clearly well, and had been well for several days, so how could she be gone?
Mrs. Chu was carried into the funeral home by Chu Hongtian and Chu Yifeng, both in military uniforms, along with several other soldiers marching in step. People from all walks of life came to pay their respects.
Bi Yue looked at the old lady with makeup on, and she felt that her grandmother must have been a beautiful woman when she was young.
Xiaoxi and Xiaolong burst into tears. Chu Yifeng held the two treasures and looked at the big chimney where the old lady was cremated, coaxing them: "Dad said that grandma is asleep. Don't be afraid, okay?"
Chu Yifeng spent his entire vacation in 1990 on seeing Old Lady Chu off for the final time. He and his father returned to a small county town in northeast China.
Liu Yafang also remembered that the old lady had wiped away tears twice, and then she would say to Bi Yue: "No matter how filial the children are, they are still far inferior to their own children in treating the elderly."
"Mom, you're telling me this. Tell me what's wrong with me, and I'll change."
"No, I'm just feeling a little emotional. Your grandparents lived a very happy life. They never suffered a single day. They were over eighty years old, so it was considered a happy death. Who doesn't know that this day will come? We know we'll die sooner or later when we're born. Your grandparents... well, life still has to go on as usual."
Yes, everything continued as usual. But in my life, there was no Old Lady Chu anymore.
