Chapter 215: Lazy Daughter-in-law - Time Passes By
Fan Chao and his wife brought their children to visit Fan Datian several times, but now Fan Datian no longer recognizes people and cannot take care of himself. The three of them have to wipe his feces and urine when they see him, so they no longer come.
One night, after Zhou Leng fell into a deep sleep, she felt her body getting cold and heard a rustling sound in her ears. She opened her eyes and felt that the room was very cold. It was not the kind of cold that could be felt, but a chill that penetrated the bones.
There was a knock on the door.
"come in."
Fan Qiheng opened the door and walked in. He turned on the light, looked at his grandmother who had sat up with a pale face and said:
"Grandma, my eldest brother and I were in grandpa's room. I thought I heard footsteps, a rustling sound that felt a little creepy, but grandpa seemed to be fine. My brother and I were a little scared."
After Fan Datian returned home to recuperate, Zhou Leng moved to Fan Qiheng's former room. Because the two brothers were there to take care of him at night, this is what happened now.
Zhou Leng sat up from the bed and followed her grandson to the master bedroom. The lights in the bedroom were bright, but there was a biting chill coming towards her.
Zhou Leng reached out and felt Fan Datian's pulse. She could only describe it in four words: powerless. She turned to her eldest grandson beside her and said:
"We have to watch over your grandfather tonight and see if we can make it through today."
Fan Qiheng stepped forward and held Zhou Leng's arm with concern. He said, "Grandma, I'll go find you something to wear."
Zhou Leng hummed lightly.
The three of them sat together by the bed and looked at the person lying on the nursing bed opposite.
Each other's breathing and heartbeats seemed particularly clear, and there were indeed soft footsteps in their ears.
Fan Qitian reached out and held his grandmother's warm hand. His fingers twitched slightly and his face was very calm.
The three of them just watched in silence the person lying on the bed sleeping soundly.
Around four in the morning, the cold feeling in the house suddenly disappeared.
Zhou Leng's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened and he saw Fan Datian slowly stopping breathing.
Fan Qitian suddenly shouted:
"My grandpa seems to... suddenly stop breathing!"
Zhou Leng exhaled deeply and said, "Go get Grandpa's shroud, clean his body, and go comfortably."
Fan Qitian's tears flowed like a faucet, he sobbed and asked, "My...grandfather is gone?"
Zhou Leng stood up, walked forward, felt Fan Datian's pulse on the neck and said:
"It's good that he's gone. After all, he's suffering now because he can't take care of himself. Stop crying. Clean your grandfather and we'll put on his burial clothes."
Zhou Leng said to his grandson again:
"Go call your father and ask him to take care of the funeral. Your grandfather cares about his reputation the most. Your father has been busy with everything for so many years. Now that he's dead, let him take care of it. It can be considered as a happy death for your grandfather."
"Well, I'll go now."
Zhou Leng added: "By the way, call your aunt and ask her family to come as well."
Zhou Leng and Fan Qitian cleaned up Fan Datian and dressed him in funeral clothes. After Fan Chao arrived, she handed the matter over to him.
Every household in the village where the Fan family lives has an ancestral tomb, and they still practice burial.
Zhou Leng handed over all matters concerning the funeral to Fan Chao.
Fan Yu helped greet relatives and friends who came to pay their respects. Fortunately, everyone understood her sadness over losing her husband and did not come to disturb her.
Zhou Leng actually wanted to leave the plane right now and just leave a will, but looking at the two heartbroken children, she still felt a rare compassion, especially for her little grandson Fan Qiheng, who was very sensitive and fragile.
Wait a little longer. People can't do whatever they want in the world they think they are in.
After Fan Datian was buried, peace returned to the families.
All the expenses for the funeral were paid for with Fan Datian's own pocket money. He said this when he was still conscious. He said that he was very satisfied with his life, even though he had suffered a lot. But who hasn't suffered a lot in their life?
It is a rare thing to have someone welcome you when you are born and see you off when you leave.
After Fan Yu's father passed away, she saw that her mother was still going about her daily routine. She was worried that her mother was upset, so she wanted her to go out and relax. After being rejected, she could only visit her at the delicatessen frequently during the day.
After Fan Qiheng's college entrance examination results came out, he applied to Kyoto University. After receiving the admission letter, he had a deep heart-to-heart talk with his grandmother. Finally, after seeking Fan Qitian's opinion, the two brothers decided to let Zhou Leng cash in all his property here, and then take the money to Kyoto to live with Fan Qiheng.
Leave?
People often say it's hard to leave one's hometown, but this is nothing to Zhou Leng.
Since the children want her to go to Kyoto, then let her go. It would be good to be away from Fan Chao's family.
In a month and a half, Zhou Leng sold his two properties and the delicatessen that was quite famous in the city. Even though he had more than 5 million in his bank account, he was still nervous. After all, the housing prices in Kyoto were obvious to all.
Some old items and memorabilia at home were packed and sent by express, and Zhou Leng and Fan Qiheng traveled to Kyoto with light luggage.
Mr. and Mrs. Fan Yu went to the train station to say goodbye. Fan Yu said with uncertainty:
"Mom, are you really leaving without telling Fan Chao? If he asks me, should I tell him?"
Zhou Leng replied:
"You should tell me your story. He is my son. I didn't ask him for pension. He doesn't have the age to pay for his parents' pension. We don't want to hide it from him. We just don't want to communicate with him. The two children are already past the age where they need their father's care."
Fan Yu nodded to show that she understood, and she instructed:
"Give me a call when you get there. Don't be afraid to spend money on renting a house. Renting a place with a better environment can also broaden your mind. Feng Tao and I will go to Kyoto to see you when we are free this year. Qiheng, please take good care of grandma."
Zhou Leng raised his hand and said, "You guys should go back quickly. The tickets will be checked soon."
The two sides hugged each other and then parted.
Fan Yu looked at her mother, whose hair was already gray, and she was worried that she would never see her again, just like her father.
Fan Qiheng comforted her: "Don't worry, aunt, my brother and I will take good care of grandma."
Fan Yu wiped away her tears and raised her hand.
After arriving in Kyoto, the two went directly to a rental house not far from Fan Qiheng's school.
Because Fan Qitian started elementary school a year earlier, when Fan Qiheng was about to start college, Fan Qitian had just graduated. Because of his brother's decision, he changed his plan to develop in the south and signed a contract with a company in Kyoto.
Before his younger brother and grandmother came, Fan Qitian had already chosen the location of the house and signed a one-year contract.
There is a park near the rental house, close to his brother's school, close to the subway station, and easy to go to work. He thought it was not too late, and he would try his best to repay his relatives while they were still alive and well.
