Zhu Fanfan was known for completing tasks very quickly, so she was entrusted with important responsibilities and almost never stopped taking on tasks. In the second half of 1970, Zhu Zixi had her first child, Zhu Pengcheng. In 1971, Zhu Zixi's second child, Zhu Chanjuan, was born. However, at the end of the year, Zhu Fanfan received a mission to go abroad to pick up people.
Zhu Jiabao specifically explained to Zhu Fanfan, "Don't worry, I've already taken care of the follow-up issues for you. You can use the space with peace of mind and store whatever you want. But don't be careless and be careful in your actions."
Since Zhuge Qianxing created the spatial ring, spatial items are no longer too rare. Although each space is only one square meter, it is enough for them. It is safe and convenient to store confidential documents without being discovered.
Originally, space rings were made in relatively small quantities, and there might only be one batch. According to his level, he could barely get one. But because he has a wonderful granddaughter, he directly asked for three. He enjoys the blessings of his granddaughter, which others can only envy. Now, wherever he goes, people will say that he is Zhu Fanfan's grandfather. What does that mean? It means that his Fanfan is very remarkable now, and everyone remembers her.
Zhu Fanfan sighed helplessly, "Grandpa, I know what I'm doing, so don't worry!"
She naturally knew that her space couldn't be exposed, and she had been extremely careful. Nowadays, she rarely used it, and with the sudden appearance of a batch of space rings, her space was no longer attracting much attention.
Zhu Jiabao said, "Going abroad is not easy. We need to go through a lot of procedures. Everyone abroad is a stranger, so you have to be careful. This time, we're sending your whole team together without any assistance, so you have to be very careful."
Zhu Fanfan assured her, "I will be very careful and cautious."
Zhu Jiabao shook his head: "I told you to be careful not to cause too much trouble. Last time you went abroad, you almost emptied out that city in L country. That city was basically a ruin. Do you know how prosperous and how much heritage a second-tier city in L country is? You ruined it, and you're still being careful? Be careful my foot."
Later, Country L insisted that it was their country that was behind it and demanded compensation. If their attitude hadn't been so firm, this girl would have been handed over long ago. He was worried for quite a while back then, but this girl was heartless and didn't take it seriously. She even shamelessly said that if they dared to take her away, she would disguise herself and rob the whole of Country L.
Zhu Fanfan thought her grandfather was too nagging: "Okay, Grandpa, I'm leaving!"
Zhu Jiabao watched Zhu Fanfan walk away with concern, only returning to work when the person was almost out of sight. His workload had been reduced again and again, but he still felt overwhelmed. It seemed he was really getting old; his energy had declined rapidly in just three years, and he should put retirement on the agenda.
The preparations for the space cheating were quite complicated, but Zhu Fanfan still completed the task as quickly as possible, escorting several groups of experts back to China. Although it was quick, three months had passed. When Zhu Fanfan returned home excitedly, she was told that her grandfather was hospitalized and in serious condition. She dropped her luggage and ran to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, they were told that their grandfather was in the intensive care unit and they could not easily meet him. Zhu Fanfan then sought out Xu Xiangqian, who simply sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do. His various organs are aging, and the recurrence of his old illness has accelerated his aging process. We are powerless to help him."
Zhu Fanfan's eyes welled up with tears: "I was only gone for three months, just three months. I left him medicine, how could he still age so quickly?"
Xu Xiangqian patted her on the shoulder and said, "Even if you still have medical skills, there's nothing you can do. Even if your grandmother came, she couldn't save you. Humans can't fight against nature."
Zhu Fanfan was somewhat obsessed: "But when I left, Grandpa was still in good spirits. I left him a lot of medicine. He shouldn't have deteriorated so quickly."
Xu Xiangqian said seriously, "Zhu Fanfan, your grandfather is old. We all get old one day and we all die. Your grandfather is also a person. Everyone is born, grows old, gets sick and dies. He doesn't have much time left. What you're doing will only make him worry more."
Zhu Fanfan was still somewhat at a loss: "Uncle, you are the most skilled doctor, you can definitely save my grandfather, right?"
Xu Xiangqian raised his voice considerably: "Zhu Fanfan, Yushu and I have both checked him out. Your grandfather only has a few days left. Don't do anything rash. What you need to do is let him pass away peacefully."
Over the years, he has seen his father, mother, and sister pass away, and he sees people die every day. He has become able to calmly accept the impermanence of life, but Fanfan almost lost her life to save her sister. He is really afraid that if she happens to remember her medical skills at that moment, something bad will definitely happen.
Zhu Fanfan looked at Xu Xiangqian pitifully: "Is there no other way? If you need anything from the Dragon Group, just tell me and I'll negotiate."
Xu Jingqian said, "Even the Dragon Group's miraculous pills won't work unless there's a pill that can activate all the cells. My brother-in-law's cells are aging rapidly, and their division rate is abnormally slow. He really doesn't have many days left. He said to your dearest granddaughter, you have to pull yourself together, you know?"
Zhu Fanfan remained silent for a long time. Xu Jingqian said, "I still have patients to treat. You should think about it here first, and then go see your grandfather when you've made up your mind."
After saying that he was relieved to leave Zhu Fanfan in the office, he went out. Zhu Fanfan was stunned and thought of many things. In the end, she went to the outside of the intensive care unit.
She saw Zhu Zixi, Zhu Ziyi's family of four, and Zhu Ziyou's family. All the younger members of the Zhu family were gathered. Zhu Zixi saw Zhu Fanfan first and hurriedly asked, "When did you come back?"
Zhu Fanfan asked, "What's Grandpa's condition now?"
Zhu Zixi said helplessly, "Grandpa Jiu was fine before you left, but he suddenly caught a cold a while ago and couldn't even walk steadily. He had no choice but to be hospitalized. I didn't expect that my great-uncle said that Grandpa's health was too depleted and he was already at his limit. He was just holding on and waiting for you, so you must be strong, you know?"
No one expected that a person who usually looks healthy would be completely drained by a simple cold and would be on the verge of death. If it weren't for his great-uncle's excellent medical skills, he might not have been saved.
Zhu Fanfan looked towards the ICU and asked, "Will Grandpa be even weaker if he leaves the ICU?"
Zhu Zixi sighed: "Grandpa Jiu is already holding on by now. My great-uncle said that he is not very useful anymore. He went in just to have more time to wait for you."
He watched as his great-grandfather aged little by little, and within just a few days he could no longer eat anything and could only survive on nutritional supplements. He became so thin that he was almost skin and bones. He had originally wanted to give up treatment, but he agreed to enter the intensive care unit because he wanted to see Fanfan one last time, just to have a little more time to wait for Fanfan.
Zhu Fanfan looked at the people inside and tears welled up uncontrollably. Suddenly, she turned and walked away without looking back, ignoring Zhu Zixi's calls from behind.
