Such a situation had never happened to Ling Jiang, and even Lan Jin herself had never encountered one before. She was immediately dumbfounded.
But Lan Jin quickly regained her senses and called out softly to Ling Jiang, who was standing there in a daze.
After hearing her own name, Ling Jiang turned her head stiffly towards her. Her eyes were dull and her face was expressionless, as if she had lost her soul the moment she knew that Grandma Ling had passed away.
Lan Jin called out again in a low voice: "Ling Jiang, Ling Jiang."
Just as she was stunned, a tear rolled down her cheek.
Ling Jiang reached out to wipe away the tears on his cheeks, but the tears continued to fall drop by drop and could not be stopped at all.
After wiping several times, Ling Jiang's cheeks were already red. Lan Jin hurried over to grab her hand and said, "Don't wipe it anymore. Cry if you want to. After you cry, let's take care of Grandma Ling's funeral."
To be honest, if it wasn't for the wrong timing, Lan Jin really wanted to say that it was a good thing that Grandma Ling died after returning to the base, otherwise she would have died on the way, and the weather was so hot, and she really didn't know what to do at that time.
After Lan Jin finished speaking, she just looked at Ling Jiang until Ling Jiang finally burst into tears after a long time, and only then did Lan Jin feel relieved.
Some emotions are better to be expressed through crying. Crying is also a form of catharsis, which is always better than holding it in your heart. After seeing her cry, Lan Jin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After Ling Jiang had cried enough and finally stopped crying, Lan Jin said, "I'll carry Grandma Ling to the bed first. You dry her off first. I'll go out and talk to Lao Gao and Xiao Huang. I'll let Lao Gao find out what to do. After we're done, I'll go back into the space and we'll find some clothes for Grandma Ling to change into."
Ling Jiang wanted to answer Lan Jin, but she was choking with sobs and couldn't speak for a while. She had no choice but to nod to Lan Jin.
Lan Jin immediately carried Grandma Ling out of the bathtub and put her on the bed in the second bedroom. As soon as Ling Jiang came over, Lan Jin flashed out of the space.
Lan Jin entered the space from her room and was still in the same place when she came out. She first left the master bedroom and came to the living room. As soon as she came out, she saw Lao Gao and Xiao Huang sitting on the sofa and talking about going to the cafeteria to try the food.
The two people heard the sound of the door opening and looked towards Lan Jin. They originally wanted to ask if they were done and if they wanted to go to dinner, but when they saw Lan Jin's expression, they immediately realized something was wrong.
Lao Gao immediately stood up from the sofa and asked, "Sister Lan, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy? Did something happen?"
Lan Jin said, "Grandma Ling is gone."
After hearing her words, the two of them were stunned at first, and then they were shocked.
But after the shock, they quickly regained their composure. After all, Grandma Ling was already that old, and her departure didn't seem like a particularly surprising thing.
But to be honest, each of them is actually prepared to leave at any time, but when someone really leaves, they still feel a heavy feeling in their hearts.
"When did this happen? Has Grandma Ling come out now?"
After that, the two of them were about to come over to check on the situation. Lan Jin then gave another explanation, but the result was good. "Grandma Ling passed away peacefully, with a smile on her face. We've never done this before at the base. Lao Gao, please find out how to deal with the funeral arrangements at the base. I'll go back to the space to help Grandma Ling clean up, and then we'll come out together."
Lao Gao and Huang Jinghe nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll find out first and tell you later. Anyway, you can hear me when I call you from outside."
Then, Lan Jin returned to the space again.
Grandma Ling herself has a lot of clothes. When she left the community, she already knew the existence of the space, so all the things she could take away from home were put in the space.
Ling Jiang searched around and actually found some clothes that could be used as burial clothes for Grandma Ling.
When Lan Jin came back, Ling Jiang was about to help Grandma Ling change her clothes. She immediately went to help, but Ling Jiang said, "I'll do it myself. This is the last time I'll dress Grandma. Besides, you just didn't take care of Qiao Qiao. This child is also naked. You should put some clothes on her quickly, otherwise she won't be able to go out later."
It is comfortable to take a bath in a tub, but the same tub also has a certain limit. Without the child in front of her, Lan Jin naturally did not dare to let her soak in the tub all the time, so she just pulled the child out of the space. She did not bother to dress the child just now, but for a child over 4 years old, it is not stressful to dress herself.
Just look, when Lan Jin came to see the child, Lan Qiaoqiao had already put on her clothes by herself and was now about to put on her shoes by herself.
When Lan Jin saw this, she immediately stepped forward to help and praised: "Qiao Qiao is great, you did a great job even when your mother was not around."
Perhaps sensing the heavy atmosphere, the usually cheerful Qiao Qiao couldn't laugh for a moment. Instead, she kept looking in the direction of Grandma Ling's room, and then asked cautiously, "Mom, what's wrong with Sister Ling? Why is she crying so sadly? And what's wrong with Grandma?"
Due to Ling Jiang's own strong demands, the relationship between them has always been independent of each other. Now it feels a bit strange to hear Lan Qiaoqiao calling people, but the meaning is still the same.
Lan Jin explained, "Grandma passed away."
Children who have experienced the end of the world, even if they are only 4 years old, understand the meaning of death.
When Lan Jin was unable to accompany Lan Qiaoqiao, it was Grandma Ling who was always with her. When the little one heard that she had passed away, she couldn't help but ran to Grandma Ling's room, held her hand, and desperately called her, hoping that she would respond to her.
However, Ran Qiaoqiao called out for a long time, but all she got in response was silence. At this moment, Ran Qiaoqiao could no longer hold back her tears.
"Grandma, Grandma, I'm Qiao Qiao, please don't ignore me, Mom, Grandma...ah."
Hearing Lan Qiaoqiao's crying, Ling Jiang couldn't help crying again.
Lan Jin originally thought that her heart had become so hard that she would no longer be moved by these life and death situations, but in the end she couldn't help sobbing along with the two of them.
…
After a while, Lan Jin finally heard the old man's voice outside the space shouting at them.
"Sister Lan, Sister Lan, I've already found out everything. Are you all ready? Come out as soon as you're ready. Captain Zhang should be here soon."
Ling Jiang and Lan Qiaoqiao were still sobbing, and Lan Jin didn't need them to do anything. With a thought, the four of them left the space.
The four of them were still in the same position, except that Grandma Ling moved from the second bedroom in the space to the master bedroom on Lan Jin's side.
