Chapter 41 41. The Late Reunion
After Yuexi went out for a walk and came home, Ning Ran just hung up the phone.
"Go and pack some clothes, we're going back to P City." Ning Ran said with rare dignity, "Grandma, she's sick, very serious."
Yuexi stood at the door, blinked, looked at Ningran and murmured, "What did you say?"
"Grandma has been in the hospital for quite a while, and this time a critical illness notice has been issued." Ning Ran walked over and pulled Yue Xi to sit on the sofa.
"You know?" Yuexi regained his composure, and said with some reproach: "You know, but you didn't tell me that grandma has been in the hospital for a while."
"I just found out, what Grandpa said just now, call us and ask us to go back together." Ning Ran knew that Yuexi valued feelings, and if she didn't say anything, it didn't mean she didn't care.
"Sister..." Yuexi felt sorry for her impulsive thoughts, "I..."
"Don't talk about that, pack your things quickly." Ning Ran patted her on the shoulder, "I also informed Qiang Zi and the others, let's go see grandma together."
"Okay." Yuexi dialed Yiluo's phone number while entering the room, briefly said that he was going back to P City, and then gave a few instructions before hanging up.
Three hours later, Yuexi once again set foot on the land of P City. The strange atmosphere made her mind very clear, but there was a strong sense of belonging calling her, and the blood all over her body was clamoring, eager and afraid at the same time.
Sarah was very considerate, seeing Yuexi's nervousness, took her hand, and said softly, "It's okay."
Yuexi is very grateful, no matter what time the two sisters care, "Yeah."
"Qiangzi! Xiao Ning!" A tall and strong man was waving at them.
"Old En!" Qiangzi was very excited. Brothers for so many years always get together less and leave more, but the relationship has never changed because of the distance.
"That's Old En, the ruffian soldier." Ning Ran also smiled, introduced to Sarah and Yuexi, and nodded at Old En, this kid is really getting more and more ruffian.
"You must be Yuexi." Lao En smiled friendly. This is the reason why his brothers, the treasure of the chief's family, managed to get ahead.
"Hello." Yuexi felt that Lao En looked familiar, so he paid more attention to it for a while.
"This is from my family." Ning Ran couldn't hide his complacency when he introduced Sarah. This made him so lucky to have found a mixed-race girl with both talent and beauty.
"Hello~I'm Lao En." Lao En raised his chin at Sarah very flamboyantly with a ruffian face.
"Hi, old en, I'm Sarah." Sarah smiled brightly.
Lao En's expression turned petrified in an instant, and he looked at Ning Ran with a little embarrassment, "Little Huoqiu, why didn't you say that your daughter-in-law can speak Chinese! It made me lose face so much."
"What's the matter? Are we still seeing each other?" Ning Ran cast a glance, the boy grew back and his face became thinner.
"Cough. In front of beautiful women, I want to maintain my image." Lao En put on the airs of a soldier, mixed with righteousness and ruffian, attracting the attention of girls passing by at the huge airport.
"Pfft." Ning Ran didn't care about Lao En's face, and smiled as he walked, hanging on Sarah, "Let's drive. Hurry up and go to the hospital."
"Well, I came here specially to pick you up." Old En said and started the car.
"What about Damei? He said he would change the flight." Ning Ran asked.
"Damei will be here for a while, he knows it by himself." Lao En drove out of the garage.
"How is grandma?" Yuexi sat next to Sarah without expression.
"I was awake when I came here, but the situation is very bad." Lao En sighed, "You also know that grandma has been in poor health, and these years have been too sad and depressed." He looked at it while talking Looking at Yuexi in the rearview mirror, "You have to be mentally prepared."
Yuexi took a deep breath and fell into deep self-blame. Su Nian can no longer pose a threat to her now. Why didn't he think of coming back early to accompany grandma? He was always protected by everyone, and he was also a responsible person. I don't want to spend my whole life hiding under the wings of others.
The atmosphere in the car was momentarily dull to freezing point.
"Don't be scared by me. Grandma will definitely be very happy to see you. Maybe all illnesses will be cured when she is happy." Lao En looked at the guilt on Yuexi's face and couldn't bear it. Yuexi said that some of these will definitely lose a layer of skin.
Yuexi nodded lightly. How could he not understand what Lao En said? After all, I have not fulfilled the duties of a grandchild. I always worry my grandparents. I want to become strong, so strong that no one can hurt me. Those who are in love with you can't do it at all, and change yourself to protect the people who care and love you.
There were many people outside the intensive care unit, Yuexi looked familiar to many of them, maybe he had seen them when he was a child, or maybe they were the neighbors in the military compound.
"Grandpa." Yuexi walked through the crowd, saw Shen Wei who was much older than last time, and walked over.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Shen Wei took Yuexi's hand, "Your grandma just misses you and worries about you, so I asked Xiao Ning to bring you here."
The haggard, skinny old man on the large hospital bed is not at all similar to the He Juan in Yuexi's memory. The years have swallowed her up, and the pain is constantly tormenting her, leaving only a weak and trembling soul.
"Grandma." Yuexi called in a low voice, and sat on the side of the hospital bed, she couldn't bear to see such haggard He Juan.
He Juan has been identifying the tall and thin young man in front of her, she can't see clearly, but the facial features are so familiar, she stretched out her trembling and bony hands to grab Yuexi, her voice was also weak , "Shao Er? Shao Er, why are you here?"
"Grandma, I'm Xiaoling." Yuexi held He Juan's hand, and grandma couldn't even recognize her father and herself.
"Xiaoling?" He Juan hurriedly threw away Yuexi's hand, struggled to sit up on the bed, and pushed him with all her strength, "Xiaoling, go, or that crazy woman will come to harm you again."
Yuexi looked at the tears and came down. Grandma was so sick that she still thought about her own safety. She took He Juan's hand that was scratching around, "Grandma, it's okay, she won't come here again."
"No, she's a lunatic..." He Juan was still thinking.
"It's fine, grandma, look at me, Xiaoling is back to see you." Yuexi raised his shoulders, wiped his tears on his clothes, and smiled again, "Grandma, I'm back."
He Juan's eyes cleared up, and she couldn't stop saying yes when she looked at Yuexi, and the luster appeared on her face again.
Shen Wei couldn't help crying while watching from outside the door. His wife's appearance is almost the same. What she can't let go of is Xiaoling. If this is the case, she will try her best to block Su. Nian's gaze brought Xiaoling back.
"Xiaoling has grown up, and grandma is relieved." He Juan smiled, it was Yuexi's familiar smile, and those decades of unchanged loving eyes.
Yuexi was full of joy, thinking that grandma saw that her condition had improved, and she smiled even more heartily.
Ning Ran couldn't bear to tell her the truth outside the door, but held Sarah's hand tightly, watching Lao En slightly shaking his head sadly.
"Grandma has returned to her light." Lao En arranged the people around him in the aisle a little far away, and said to Ding Qiang in a low voice, "I'm afraid Damei won't be able to come back."
"Oh." Ding Qiang sighed, walked over and said to Ning Ran, "Let's go in."
"Give them some more time, there must be a lot to talk about." Ning Ran looked at the two joking in the ward, his eyes blushed inexplicably, "Let them stay a little longer."
Yuexi didn't know that Lao En and the others rushed into the ward with sad faces, didn't know how he was hugged tightly by Sarah, and didn't know when grandma was covered with a white cloth by the nurse, and he couldn't hear grandpa beating his chest Crying hoarsely, he couldn't hear what Ning Ran said when he looked concerned, and couldn't hear the sorrow of the people around him.She only remembered one thing in her mind, her grandma was gone, she no longer had a grandma, and she lost one of her few relatives.She stared blankly as they were busy, her brain lost the ability to function, she let Sarah pull herself up, and moved forward stiffly.
"Xiaoxi." Sarah pulled Yuexi out of the ward to a chair in the rest area of the hospital, and handed her a cup of hot water.
Yuexi raised his hand to catch it, but his eyes were empty.
"Xiaoxi, everyone will have this day, this is the law of nature. You can cry if you want." Sarah caressed Yuexi's face and helped her straighten her hair. Yuexi's appearance is really worrying , She knows Yuexi well, this child never said how much she loves her, but she remembers everything clearly, and she will never forget the kindness to her. She even remembers her parents' birthdays. Can remember, how can seeing her relatives die with her own eyes not make her sad.
"Sister, I'm fine." Yuexi came back from the chaos, drank water, and said softly, "I just think it's too sudden."
Sarah was relieved when she heard Yuexi's words, and finally came to her senses, "It's good that it's fine. Your grandpa, he cried so badly just now, it's better that they are with him."
Yuexi nodded, grandma is gone, the most uncomfortable thing should be grandpa, so many years of husband and wife, so many years of relationship, such a vivid person will be gone, how can he not be sad.She should go to comfort grandpa and let grandpa mourn, so that grandma can go away with peace of mind.
He Juan's memorial service was held quickly, many people came, and Ning Ran and the others greeted the guests, and Yuexi stayed by Shen Wei's side all the time.
After that, everything went smoothly, the funeral, cremation, the gushing flame greedily rushed towards He Juan's thin body, and the fire completely wiped out her existence. Regardless of Ning Ran's objection, Yuexi insisted on watching by himself. She was crying, one drop after another, and she didn't care about it.The last thing left of a person is just a pile of ashes after the fire, only the voice and smile left in the memory of others will never die.What can I leave behind in this ever-changing world?
------------------------
The belated reunion that year was the beginning of sadness.Yuexi looked at the stars in the sky, one was grandma, the other was father, they were still by his side, giving him encouragement, giving him courage, and letting him grow up.
