661 Gone(2/2)
She doesn't like the atmosphere of the Lin family. Since she has lived in the capital, she has come to the Lin family less frequently. Sometimes she comes to visit her elders, and then leaves immediately. The number of times she stays to eat can be counted on one hand.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this before, but now that she saw the old man become like this, she felt a deep sense of self-blame in her heart, regretting that she didn't come over often and didn't talk to the old man properly.
Old man Lin said kindly: "Good boy, your filial grandpa knows that he still remembers your grandma and I when you return the gifts during the holidays. The things you send us are all suitable, and grandpa remembers them..."
"Grandpa..." Qin Xiaoxiao felt increasingly sad.
Old man Lin touched her head, then looked hard at Qin Shan, who was standing behind the mother and daughter: "Da, Da Shan, come closer..."
Qin Shan wiped his eyes vigorously and knelt down in front of his old man with a bang: "Dad, why have I always noticed Qiuniang in these years? I will treat her well in the following days, so you don't have to worry."
!”
A gratified smile appeared on Old Man Lin's face: "Okay, okay, the most right thing the old man has done in this life is to marry Qiuniang to you. Over the years, you, you have been treating both of us.
I am an old man, I should be filial to my parents, I will remember, I will remember..."
Before the separation of the Lin family, the life of the two elders was not easy. Every time Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang came to visit the elders, they were never empty-handed. Before leaving, they would always give them some money under different names.
Although the money is not much, it is enough for the two elders to maintain a decent life. They do not have to buy needles and threads and worry about seeing the faces of their sons. And because they have money, their children and grandchildren will not regard them as a burden and can maintain a normal life.
Father-son (mother-son) relationship.
"Dad, for a son-in-law, these are all things I should do." Qin Shan's eyes were wet again, and he was grateful to his old father-in-law who treated him sincerely.
Old Man Lin's face became more and more relaxed, and then he stretched out his withered arm, held his hand tightly, and begged in his weak voice: "Da, Dashan, I, I can't do it anymore, I beg you again, finally.
one thing……"
"Dad, don't ask for anything, as long as it's something you ask me to do, I will definitely do it!" Qin Shan choked up, his eyes red with shame.
Old man Lin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his wife.
Mrs. Zhou realized what he wanted to say and shook her head slowly: "Old man, I can take care of myself, please relax."
Old man Lin said weakly: "Old woman, when you reach this age, just stop showing off."
After that, he said to Qin Shan: "When I leave, the most worrying thing is that it's your mother. She can't do any work at her age. You should take more care of her, ahem..."
Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently, and soon an abnormal flush appeared on his pale face.
Seeing that the old man was coughing and out of breath, and that he might pass at any time, everyone clenched together, and their expressions became more and more sad.
"Old man, stop talking, stop talking..." Mrs. Zhou finally couldn't help but her eyes were red, and the previously suppressed sadness surged out like a flood.
Lin Qiuniang cried so much that she could not speak. She held her father's hand tightly, fearing that she would never be able to hold it again once she let go.
"Dad, I listen to you, don't worry, take a rest first." Qin Shan comforted the old man at a loss, wanting to pat him on the back to relieve him, but he couldn't do anything.
"Cough, cough...it's okay, just listen to what I have to say..." Old Man Lin tried his best to open his eyes, his eyes pleading: "Zhao, take good care of your mother..."
Qin Shan's throat was tight and he nodded heavily: "Dad, as long as I live for one day, I will treat my mother as my own mother and respect her. Don't worry!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Old Man Lin let out a long sigh of relief, looked at his wife with longing, then looked at the children and grandchildren in the room, and closed his eyes peacefully amidst the cries of pain.
"Old man!" Mrs. Zhou threw herself on her wife's body and shook his gradually cold body.
"Mingyue, hurry up!" Qin Xiaoxiao shook her hand and hurriedly asked Mingyue to check the old man's pulse.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, Mingyue retracted her hand and shook her head at Qin Xiaoxiao with a heavy expression.
"Dad -" Lin Qiuniang couldn't bear such a blow, she fainted with a cry of pain, and then woke up after Mingyue tightened her grip. She looked at her old father who had left, speechless, and kept crying.
of flow.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Shan comforted her, but how could a few words cover up the pain of losing a loved one.
Any family with some wealth will prepare coffins, shrouds and other items in advance, and Old Man Lin and Mrs. Zhou are no exception. They bought wood a few years ago and asked carpenters to come and make the coffin, shrouds and other items.
Before their father's body was completely cold, the three brothers Lin Chunsheng, Lin Xiasheng and Lin Dongsheng endured their grief and washed and changed his clothes so that their father could go on his way in dignity.
At this time, Ms. Fang, dressed in bright clothes, broke in. Seeing the scene in the main room, she was stunned for a moment and said in a harsh voice: "Why did you go so quickly? Did Lao Yinzi tell me where the money was hidden?"
The people in the room were not surprised that she would say such a thing, but they were still very angry and looked at her angrily.
Lin Qiuniang and Mrs. Zhou were indulging in great grief and did not have much reaction to Fang's words. In other words, the mother and daughter could no longer care about anything else.
