Chapter 480 Come out

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

  Qingyang County, Linfu Street Qiaotou, in the mourning hall of the main house of the Gu family’s old house.

  Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang listened to the old neighbor's words, and gave birth to some comfort in their sad mood.

   It is a lucky thing to leave without pain.

  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 set up. Neighbors who came and went, relatives and friends of Gu Anguo, came to the scene to express their condolences after receiving the news.

   Lan Shu came a little later than her in-laws, and she sent a car to come immediately after she received the news, and it was already night when she arrived in Qingyang County.

   As the granddaughter-in-law, Lan Shu kowtowed respectfully to the old lady's coffin, and then burned incense and paper beside her.

   At this time, Xiaobai is still on his way here, and it is estimated that he will not come here until early tomorrow morning at the earliest.

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

  What Gu Cheng did at the beginning made him no longer recognize this son, but Gu Cheng is the grandson of the old lady, no matter whether Gu Cheng comes or not, the news should always be let him know.

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

  Even though Gu Cheng had been with the old lady and was raised by the old lady until he was eight years old, but when he grew up, Gu Cheng had more interest in his heart, and the family relationship was already very weak.

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

   This night, Gu Anguo, the son, was watching the spirit, and Wei Qiushuang stayed up with her husband until three or four o'clock at night.

   Lan Shu didn't stay up too late, and was urged by her in-laws to go to bed early after twelve o'clock.

  Although her house in Qingyang County is not far from the Gu family’s old house, and it only takes a few minutes to walk, she did not go back.

   Instead, he sat down anywhere in the old house and squinted his eyes.

  Although the relationship between Lan Shu and the old lady is not deep, they are also relatives, and she really can't go back to sleep with peace of mind after the death of a relative.

  Stay here by yourself, and after a short rest, you can take the place of your in-laws and help guard for a while.

  The rules of the wake, the candles are always lit, and the joss sticks are kept on. For several days and nights, there are always people in the mourning hall.

  …

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

   This time, he was halfway through his business trip before he found out that the old lady was not there.

  At that time, he was on the bus, so he had to get off the bus early from the nearest station, and then bought the earliest ticket back to Linjiang City, waited for the train to depart, and brought him to the city.

   It took two or three hours to drive from Linjiang City to Qingyang County. He still asked the factory in Qingyang County to send a car in advance, wait outside the train station, and pick him up overnight.

  Back to this home that he hasn’t been back for a long time, Xiaobai’s expressionless face, the second he stepped into the mourning hall, tears welled up in his eyes—

  Xiaobai grew up, although he lived in Kyoto most of the time, but every year he would go back to his grandma's house for a period of time.

  The relationship between him and grandma is very deep, so he never thought about the day when grandma would not be around.

  But this day has finally come...

   It was the first time for Lan Shu to see Xiao Bai cry, and she cried so sadly.

  In the past, it seemed that nothing could trouble Xiao Bai, but at this moment, he is as vulnerable and helpless as a child.

   But the old lady is still gone after all.

  What Lan Shu can do is to be by Xiao Bai's side. When he is sad, as long as he turns his head, he can see himself, which can give him some comfort.

  The funeral of the old lady took several days to finish.

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

   On the other hand, Gu Anguo, the son, has come out of the deep pain.

  Maybe he hasn't completely walked out, but as a person of his age, death is not too far away for him, and he has already taken it lightly.

  After returning to the capital, Lan Shu found that Xiao Bai gradually put off many things around him.

   Whenever he is free, he goes to Wei's house to see his grandpa and grandma.

  The departure of Mrs. Lin made him truly feel that when people get old, they may suddenly leave this world one day.

  So he wanted to be with him as much as possible, and he didn't want to think about the past in the future, and he was full of regrets.

  …

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

  At the beginning of July, summer vacation comes.

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

  Junjun is about to be a second grade elementary school student.

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

   School starts again, eight and a half-year-old Meng Dabao is about to enter the first grade of primary school!

   It can be said that he started elementary school quite late at his age.

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

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

  Meng Heng is very clear that without Xiao Qingning, his son is not sure whether he can speak normally or communicate with others!

   Not to mention learning the knowledge of kindergarten~!

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

  At the same time, she also called Xiaobai who didn't want to socialize with these things, and went to Meng's house together as guests.

   Although Xiaobai seems to have come out of the grief of his grandma's departure recently, Lan Shu can feel that he is 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 invited to the banquet to show how much they valued 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 will study in the same school, and they will be classmates in the future.

  Xiao Qingning has played with Junjun a lot recently, because they both go to the same school, and both learn piano, and they are cousins, so they have more common topics with each other.

  Meng Dabao didn't even miss the winter and summer vacations in the past two years, so as Xiao Qingning gradually grew up, coupled with the heavy workload of studies, the relationship between her and Meng Dabao is not as frequent 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.

  But Xiao Qingning still regards Meng Dabao as a friend, so even though Meng Dabao is not the only friend in her heart, she still gets along with him friendly.
