Zhao Dashu was actually a little confused. No, he remembered that his father couldn't eat much back then, but his mother had such a good appetite...
Did the doctor make a mistake?
He felt she could live another thirty years.
"Mom, are you full?"
"I'm full. My appetite isn't as good as it used to be this year; it's decreased quite a bit."
The old woman was also worried. There were already many things she couldn't eat, and she was eating even less than before. How could her body handle so much food?
No wonder the doctor sighed before; it was truly worrying.
Zhao Xiaoyu and Song Shi looked at each other. They each had ten dumplings, and they still felt quite full.
I remember the last time I came back, it seemed like each of them could eat more than twenty dumplings.
The two fell silent...
"Xiaoyu, when we get home, let the doctor take our pulses."
"Let's see a doctor tomorrow. Why bother seeing one today because it's a holiday?"
"OK."
They were certain they were in good health, but looking at their grandmother, they really started to have some self-doubt.
After the meal, no one rushed to leave. One by one, they chatted with Old Mrs. Sun. Zhao Ruxin, in particular, didn't want to go home at all. She didn't want to face the old man, much less his children. It would be better to stay home with her grandmother; perhaps seeing her filial piety, she could even give her some treats.
When people get old and are about to die, they naturally have to divide their inheritance and personal savings.
Grandma definitely has a lot of private stuff; just look at how many things are in her room to know.
"Grandma, how about I stay with you?"
Old Mrs. Sun was puzzled. What did her eldest granddaughter mean?
“I want to stay and keep you company. We’re hibernating right now, and there’s nothing to do at home. What do you think? I’ll go home for the New Year, and then stay here to chat with you, Grandma. Isn’t that nice?”
She'd love to have someone keep her company, and she'd also like to have more people at home every day to keep her entertained. "Are you really okay not coming home?"
“What could possibly happen? The children are all grown up, and the old man can take care of himself. Right now, no one is more important than milk.”
The old woman was overjoyed to hear her eldest granddaughter say that; after all, her own child was the most filial.
"Alright, then stay and keep this old woman company. You have no idea how lonely Grandma is. I'm tired of hearing Huang and the others talk. And you all seem so busy."
Zhao Ruxin tugged at Old Sun's hand and said coquettishly, "Grandma, why didn't you say so earlier? Alright, alright, I'll come and keep you company more often from now on, chat with you, and tell you interesting things."
"Good, good, good!" The old woman was overjoyed; her house hadn't been this lively in a long time.
Zhao Zhaodi's man nudged her, turned his head, and gestured with his lips, indicating that she should stay as well.
Stay to keep the baby company?
Zhao Zhaodi bit her lip. She wasn't as favored as her older cousin before. Would her grandmother have allowed her to stay with her?
I'm not sure!
Zhao Zhaodi pursed her lips as her leg was kicked again, this time with a bit more force.
"Grandma, I'll stay and keep you company too. My older cousin is right. We're just staying home for the winter, so there's nothing to do. I might as well spend more time with you. But I'm not good with words, so please don't mind."
The old woman was taken aback. Was she going to stay too?
What's wrong today?
“But Zhaodi, your child is still young.”
“It’s alright, they can stay and keep Grandma company. Grandma’s house just lacks a bit of liveliness, and it will be more lively with them around. If not, my husband can take them home.”
