Chapter 480 Come Out

"The old lady must have gone there in her sleep last night. The expression on her face was very peaceful."

Qingyang County, at the end of Linfu Street Bridge, in the mourning hall of the main house of the Gu family's old house.

Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang listened to their old neighbor's words, and felt a little comfort in their sad moods.

Leaving without pain is considered a lucky thing.

Although the old lady's departure was sudden, it was not too unexpected for them.

After all, the old lady is almost eighty years old this year, which is considered a long life in this era.

In the old house, the mourning hall has been decorated. Neighbors, relatives and friends of Gu Anguo, who were coming and going, arrived one after another to express their condolences after receiving the news.

Lan Shu arrived a little later than her parents-in-law. She immediately sent a car after receiving the news. It was already evening when she arrived in Qingyang County.

As the grandson's daughter-in-law, Lan Shu respectfully kowtowed to the old lady's coffin, then lit incense and burned paper aside.

At this time, Xiaobai was still on his way here, and he probably wouldn't be able to come here until early tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Gu Anguo also told his eldest son about the old lady's death.

Although what Gu Cheng did back then made him no longer recognize his son, Gu Cheng was the grandson of the old lady. Regardless of whether Gu Cheng came or not, the news should be known to him.

It's a pity that Gu Anguo didn't expect his eldest son's heart of stone.

Even though Gu Cheng followed and was raised by the old lady before he was eight years old, when he grew up, Gu Cheng cared more about interests and his family ties were already very weak.

Gu Cheng didn't want to see his other family members, so even if he received the call or received the news, he would not come here to see his grandma for the last time.

That night, Gu Anguo, the son, kept vigil at the side, and Wei Qiu Shuang stayed up with her husband until three or four o'clock in the night.

Lan Shu did not stay up too late. At around twelve o'clock, her parents-in-law urged her to go to bed early.

Although her house in Qingyang County was not far from the Gu family's old residence, only a few minutes' walk away, she did not go back.

Instead, he just found a place in the old house to sit and squint.

Although the relationship between Lan Shu and the old lady was not deep, they were still relatives. After the death of a relative, she really could not go back to sleep with peace of mind.

You can stay here by yourself, and after you rest for a while, you can take over for your parents-in-law and help them stay for a while.

The rules of the wake include keeping the candles lit and the incense burning. For days and nights, there are always people in the mourning hall.

…

Early the next morning, at dawn, Xiaobai arrived in Qingyang County.

This time, he was halfway through his business trip when he learned that the old lady was not here.

He was on the bus at the time and had no choice but to get off the train early at the nearest stop. Then he bought the earliest ticket back to Linjiang City and waited for the train to leave and take him to the city.

It took two or three hours to drive from Linjiang City to Qingyang County, but he still asked the factory here in Qingyang County to send a car in advance and wait outside the train station to take him back overnight.

Returning to this home that he had not returned to for a long time, Xiaobai's originally expressionless face burst into tears the second he entered the mourning hall——

Xiaobai has lived in Kyoto most of the time since he was a child, but he will go back to his grandma's house for a period of time every year.

The relationship between him and his grandma was very deep, so he never thought about the day when grandma would be away.

But this day has finally arrived...

This was the first time Lan Shu saw Xiaobai cry, and she cried so sadly.

In the past, everything seemed to be difficult for Xiaobai, but at this moment, he was as fragile and helpless as a child.

But the old lady was gone after all.

What Lan Shu can do is to stay with Xiaobai. When he is sad, as long as he turns his head, he can see himself, which can give him some comfort.

The old lady's funeral took several days to complete.

When returning from Qingyang County, Xiaobai was still immersed in painful emotions.

On the other hand, Gu Anguo, the son, has come out of his grief.

Perhaps he has not completely come out of it, but as a person of his age, death is not too far away for him, and he has taken it lightly.

After returning to Kyoto, Lan Shu found that Xiaobai gradually put many things around him on hold.

Whenever he had time, he would go to Wei's house to see his grandfather and grandmother.

Mrs. Lin's departure made him truly realize that when people grow old, they may suddenly leave this world one day.

So he wanted to be with her as much as possible and didn't want to think about the past with regrets in his heart in the future.

…

Xiaobai's condition lasted for nearly a month before it improved.

In early July, summer vacation arrives.

When school starts again, little Qingning will enter the third grade of elementary school.

Junjun will soon be a second grade elementary school student.

Meng Dabao studied in kindergarten for two consecutive years, even during the winter and summer vacations, and finally graduated from kindergarten this year.

When school starts again, eight-and-a-half-year-old Meng Dabao will enter the first grade of primary school!

At his age, it can be said that he entered primary school quite late.

But for a little fool with a questionable IQ, his family is already very happy that he can go to school.

To this end, Meng Heng specially invited Xiao Qingning and her parents Gu Jue and Miss Lan to celebrate together.

Meng Heng knew very well that without Xiao Qingning, it was still uncertain whether his son could speak normally or communicate with others!

What's more, I learned the knowledge in kindergarten~!

Lan Shu did not refuse the Meng family's invitation.

At the same time, she called Xiaobai, who originally didn't want to deal with such things, to go to Meng's house as a guest.

Although Xiaobai seemed to have recovered from the grief of his grandma's passing recently, Lan Shu could feel that he was still sad and depressed.

So at this time, some happy things are needed to dilute the depression in Xiaobai's heart.

On this day, the Meng family held a banquet in a restaurant near the compound, and only three members of Gu Jue's family were entertained to show their respect for them.

Meng Dabao would be very happy every time he saw Xiao Qingning, and it was the same this time.

He told Xiao Qingning that soon they would go to the same school and they would be classmates from now on.

Xiao Qingning has been playing more with Junjun recently because they go to the same school and both study piano. Plus they are cousins, so they have more topics in common.

Meng Dabao had not even missed the winter and summer vacations in the past two years, so as little Qingning grew up and added to her heavy studies, she and Meng Dabao did not interact as frequently as before.

Meng Dabao could feel the slight unfamiliarity between him and Xiao Qingning.

Although the little fool is not smart, he is very sensitive to things about Xiao Qingning.

However, Xiao Qingning still regards Meng Dabao as a friend, so even though Meng Dabao is no longer the only friend in her heart, she still gets along well with Meng Dabao.
