Wear 70 with the Taobao system

In the evening, the couple were leaning on the bedside to talk to each other. Xiang Nuan suddenly said, "Why do I feel that my sister-in-law has something on her mind when she comes back this time?"

Tang Heping didn't pay much attention. Hearing this, he asked: "Did the couple quarrel? Although my sister-in-law has gone to join the army, when he gets busy, it is no different from living in two places. He may not go back to his family once a month. building."

"My eldest brother is very dedicated to his profession, and so is my eldest sister-in-law. When I saw my eldest sister-in-law, I felt that my job as a military wife was a bit leisurely."

Tang Heping smiled: "In this job, I am not like my elder brother who is away from home every day."

"It's because I'm away from home every day." Xiang Nuan said, leaning on Tang Heping's shoulder: "I will retire when I reach the age of sixty, and I will be with you well then."

Tang Heping: "You are sixty, and I am also sixty-four. Time flies so fast."

Yes, more than twenty years have passed in a flash.

The New Year celebrations here are also twenty-four, unlike those in the provincial capital where the New Year celebrations are twenty-three.

But there are people from all over the provincial capital, and everyone celebrates the New Year according to the customs of their hometown.

On the 24th, Xiang Nuan called Tao Tianxiang and learned that he had returned to his hometown. After that, he asked about the situation there.

Tao Tianxiang planned to stay for a while, but now that he has made a career, he needs to repair the old house.

While chatting with Tao Tianxiang, Xiang Nuan learned that the physical condition of Mr. and Mrs. Tao Sanye has deteriorated a lot this year. They are both over eighty years old. No one dared to toss him back and forth, so Dazhu and his family did not return, so they just Uncle Tao's family went back, and they were rushing back after worshiping their ancestors.

Chen Jiakang will not come back this year. Han Qing is about to give birth and it is inconvenient to travel by car. The two of them agreed to wait until the child is one year old before returning to their hometown to worship their ancestors and let the Chen family's ancestors know that they have a daughter-in-law.

All matters concerning ancestor worship were entrusted to Chen Ercai.

Chen Jiakang has become successful, and Chen Ercai is old. In addition, with a giant Buddha like Xiang Nuan there, Chen Ercai's family has long since dared not have any bad intentions. It is too late to curry favor with Chen Jiakang, let alone Chen Jiakang. Gave money.

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Nuan called Tao Dazhu.

When Xiang Nuan asked about the physical condition of the old couple, Dazhu walked to a remote place and said: "I went to the hospital for a check-up. It was said that he was old and his organs were weakened. We discussed it and didn't want to trouble him anymore. .”

"Does Third Grandpa know?"

"You should know." Dazhu's voice was buzzing, as if he had a cold: "I must be the first to know if I feel uncomfortable. Even if we didn't tell him, he would have guessed it. He told us He said that he had stolen it from Lord Yama’s book of life and death all these years, and now Lord Yama has discovered it and asked him to report for duty.”

Xiang Nuan felt uncomfortable, but not like before.

As I get older, my ability to bear it becomes stronger, and when I face separation or death, I don’t feel as heartbroken as I did when I was young.

Some people say that sudden death is the greatest kindness to the deceased. He is gone in an instant, knows nothing, and suffers less pain. But for the family, this is the greatest cruelty.

On the contrary, being tortured by illness and eventually dying is the greatest cruelty to a patient. No one can replace the physical and psychological torture caused by illness.

The family members went from being unable to accept the bad news to slowly accepting it. Time diluted the grief, and in the end they could only sigh.

After chatting for a while, Xiang Nuan said that Tang Heping would return to the provincial capital tomorrow and visit the two elders then.

She couldn't leave in her second year of junior high school because she had work arrangements.

There are still a few days until the holiday, and the finishing work for this year needs to be done well.

On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Tang Heping drove Yuan Wenli back to the provincial capital.

Because he called Dazhu yesterday, Xiang Nuan asked Huahua and Dundun to go back and see the old couple. Maybe this would be their last meeting.

He also picked up a few boxes of supplements and asked Tang Heping to take them over to replenish the elderly. Although he knew it would not help, people always like to do something to make themselves feel better.

Seeing that his brothers and sisters are all going back, Tanghulu will also go back with him. He will come back with his uncle tomorrow. Anyway, he doesn't want to celebrate the New Year at grandma's house.

Because of his aunt, he was very popular in his grandmother's house, but he hated that kind of popularity. Those people liked him not because he was Tang Shubao, but because he was Mayor Tao's nephew.

After seeing them off, Xiang Nuan also went to work.

Teacher Yao and Old Tang decided to go out for a walk and not come back for lunch.

Yuan Wenli was sitting in the passenger seat and fell asleep not long after getting in the car.

Tang Heping glanced at her, it didn't look like there was a quarrel.

The three children were chattering in the back. Tang Heping drove all the way. Not long after driving, Yuan Wenli woke up, frowned, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Heping, find a place to rest. I drank too much porridge this morning."

Tang Heping heard the overtone of the words and quickly found a place for her to get down easily.

As a result, it didn't take long to get in the car, and Yuan Wenli needed convenience again.

Tang Heping had nothing to say. From City B to the provincial capital, there was no expressway, only national highways, and the national highways were full of bumps.

Tang Heping drove for a long time without encountering anyone. Yuan Wenli couldn't hold it in any longer, "Heping, please find a place to park."

Tang Heping could only find a place to stop with leeward, and Yuan Wenli quickly got out of the car.

Tang Heping always felt that something was wrong with Yuan Wenli, but he couldn't follow her to see her. He turned to Huahua and said, "Huahua, please go down with your aunt to have a look."

Huahua opens the door and gets off.

It took five or six minutes for the two of them to come back, which was very cold for Yuan Wenli.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Yuan Wenli was a little embarrassed: "It's okay, let's go."

Tang Heping continued to drive.

It takes five or six hours to drive from City B to the provincial capital, and Yuan Wenli also went to the toilet five or six times along the way.

Later, Tang Heping was afraid that she would catch a cold, so every time he went down, he would hand Huahua his military coat to cover her up.

After finally sending him to Yuan's house, Tang Heping took the child away after agreeing with Tanghulu to pick him up at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

The next day, Tang Heping took his three children to visit Mr. Tao first.

Mr. Tao could no longer get out of bed. He was too weak, but his mind was still clear. When he saw Tang Heping coming to visit him, the old man forced himself to sit up. He pulled him and talked for more than ten minutes before he sat down. I can't stand it anymore, I have to lie down.

Tang Heping explained to them that Xiang Nuan was too busy at work and couldn't come back from the second grade of junior high school.

The old man also said: "Our Tao family has such a high-ranking official as Nuan Yatou, but there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. You asked her to do her job. Since you are the head of a city, you must take good care of the citizens of the city, etc." I'm leaving, I'm going down to have a good talk with my ancestors."

Mistress Tao couldn't leave either. There were two beds side by side in one room, which made people feel panicked just looking at them.

But there is nothing anyone can do. Birth, old age, illness and death are the reincarnation cycles that no one can escape.
