Grandma was sent to the ICU. The two Ning sisters stood at the door of the ICU and refused to leave. They sat silently on the chairs in the corridor and did not listen to anyone's advice.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, sporadic firecrackers could still be heard outside, but the corridor was deathly silent and filled with a sad atmosphere.

Dean Wang had someone arrange for a single room and went to persuade them personally, "Aunties, please go back to the ward and wait. It's useless to wait at the door. Leave your contact information to the nurses here. They will call if there is anything."

But no matter what he said, the two sisters refused to leave. Finally, Lin Zhiyuan came over and expressed his gratitude to Dean Wang. "Dean Wang, thank you very much. You can go back and rest early. Our family can stay here."

Dean Wang said a few polite words, then said goodbye and left.

Shi Mingguang, Wang Changsong, and Qi Jingwei pulled Lin Zhiyuan aside and said, "Zhiyuan, we heard what the doctor said just now. The old man is old after all, so you have to be prepared!"

Lin Zhiyuan was also a little flustered, but after being reminded by these three people, he finally calmed down.

He walked over to his mother and aunt and squatted down. "Mom, aunt, stop crying and listen to me. After all, grandma is so old. If... we have to make preparations. Aunt, does grandma have burial clothes?"

With just these words, the aunt cried even harder. Lin Zhiyuan did not dare to yell at her, so he could only squat in front of her and wait patiently. Instead, he spoke to the good-tempered Xue Baichang, "Zhiyuan, Mom's burial clothes have been made a long time ago. I asked the tailor in the front street to make them. They are now under the cabinet at home."

"Uncle, I'll ask my friend to drive you back to get it. Also, think about what you should bring so you don't get caught up in a rush."

"well!"

Wang Changsong drove Xue Baichang back to Dadaowan to get something.

Lin Zhiyuan asked Shi Mingguang and Qi Jingwei to go back and rest, but the two of them refused to leave no matter what.

"Zhiyuan, don't worry about us. We'll stay here. It will be more convenient if we need a car."

Lin Zhiyuan had no choice but to follow them. After a while, his mother and aunt were tired of crying, so Lin Zhiyuan and Guo Shun helped them to a single room to rest.

During this period, Su Jin called to inquire about the situation. Lin Zhiyuan told him the truth. Su Jin wanted to come over, but was stopped by Lin Zhiyuan. "Grandma is in the ICU now. You can't see her even if you come. You should stay at home with Ah Su! Come over tomorrow when you have time."

More than an hour later, Wang Changsong drove back, and Xue Baichang and Lin Zhiyuan's elder sisters Xue Yan and Xue Feng followed him. They crowded in the single room in silence.

At about 3:00 p.m., Su Jin drove Su Qiancheng, Su Sheng, and Yang Zhilan to the hospital. Although Lin Zhiyuan did not allow them to come, Su Qiancheng, Su Sheng, and Yang Zhilan insisted on coming to see the situation, so Su Jin called Shen Juan, who rushed over from home to take care of Ah Su. Zhou Hai and Sha Feifei followed after hearing the news, and the ward became even more crowded.

But no matter how many people came, it was useless. There was still no news from the ICU that grandma had woken up.

Zhou Hai took the opportunity to smoke to call Lin Zhiyuan out, "Zhiyuan, I heard from Sister Jing about grandma's situation. Don't be upset when I say something."

"Brother Hai, I know what's going on. The doctor also said that at grandma's age, anything could happen. Don't worry, I'm prepared."

"That's good. I know a fortune teller. If it really comes to that, we won't be in such a rush if we have someone to help us arrange things."

"Okay, Brother Hai, then you contact that gentleman. If grandma really can't wake up, we'll have to trouble him then."

The two of them settled the matter in a few words.

At around four o'clock, Lin Zhiyuan asked Su Jin to send Su Qiancheng and his father-in-law and mother-in-law back. At the same time, he also asked Wang Changsong and others to go home and rest.

Wang Changsong and Zhou Hai refused to leave and insisted on staying here.

At around five o'clock, the two of them went out for a while, and when they came back they brought back fifty dinners.

In addition to the relatives who were guarding the ward, the doctors, nurses on duty and the medical staff in the ICU were all delivered a dinner.

Ning Xiufen couldn't eat at all. It was only after Lin Ningjing persuaded her again and again that she opened the lid of the lunch box. But after seeing the dishes inside, Ning Xiufen cried again, "Your grandma loves to eat roasted eggplant the most, but she is lying in the ICU and can't eat it."

As the mother started crying, the aunt also started crying. Lin Ningjing, Xue Yan, and Xue Feng also shed tears. The ward was filled with crying, and Lin Zhiyuan felt even more depressed.

At seven o'clock in the evening, there was still no news from the ICU.

Lin Zhiyuan began to persuade the elders to go home and rest. "Dad, take my mom and my aunt and uncle back to Jing Hua Yuan! Oh, and my elder sister and second sister, there is no point for you to stay here. My sister and I will stay here tonight. If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Of course the two Ning sisters were unwilling to leave. Finally, Lin Dajun spoke up, "Listen to Zhiyuan, let's go home and wait. There are only two beds in the ward. If we leave, they can still rest for a while."

The two Ning sisters finally agreed, but Xue Yan and Xue Feng insisted that Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Ningjing go home as well. "Ningjing, Zhiyuan, you two should go back too. We two sisters will stay here tonight. We can't do anything and can't help much, but it's okay for us to stay here. We'll have to rely on you to work during the day tomorrow!"

After a lot of politeness, they finally decided that the sisters Xue Yan and Xue Feng would stay here.

Everyone returned to Jing Hua Yuan. After Lin Ningjing assigned rooms to the relatives, Lin Zhiyuan returned to his own small building and called Li Zhenshan first.

He had originally planned to return to Yanjing on the sixth day of the New Year, which is tomorrow, but he didn't expect something like this to happen, so he had to take a leave.

As soon as he told the matter, Li Zhenshan approved his leave immediately, "Zhiyuan, it's okay, you can stay in Ge'an and come back after grandma's matter is settled."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhiyuan simply washed up and went to bed to rest. Although his body was very tired, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't fall asleep.

I don’t know how long it took before Lin Zhiyuan fell into a drowsy sleep.

But it was as if as soon as I closed my eyes, the day dawned.

At six o'clock in the morning, Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Ningjing drove their family to Tiedong Hospital.

After the whole morning, there was still no news. Lin Zhiyuan went to find the doctor on duty. The doctor contacted the ICU and then told Lin Zhiyuan with regret that grandma still hadn't woken up.

After a quick lunch, Ning Xiufen and Ning Xiuqin discussed the matter in the afternoon and finally made a joint decision to take grandma out of the ICU.

Their idea was very simple. If grandma really could not be saved, then let her complete her final journey with the company of her family.

Lin Zhiyuan called Dean Wang, and Dean Wang agreed.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the still unconscious grandma was sent back to the single room. She slept so peacefully under the watchful eyes of her family.

That night, Ning Xiufen and Ning Xiuqin drove everyone away and insisted on staying by the bed.

The two sisters filled a basin with hot water and wiped their grandmother's body with a towel. Ning Xiufen wiped very seriously, crying as she did so.

Ning Xiuqin took a comb and combed her grandma's hair.

I don’t know if this was the reason, but grandma suddenly opened her eyes.

Ning Xiuqin was the first to notice it and she shouted in surprise, "Xiufen, look, mom is awake."

Ning Xiufen hurried over, but they found that although their mother opened her eyes, there was no focus in her eyes. In just one or two seconds, grandma closed her eyes again.

At ten o'clock in the evening, grandma passed away in her sleep.

Lin Zhiyuan rushed to the hospital as soon as he received the call. Ning Xiufen hugged Lin Zhiyuan like a child and said only one sentence, "Son, Mom will no longer have a mom."
