Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

The lights in the emergency room were on for a long time.

Some people are getting impatient waiting but are too embarrassed to say anything.

Uncle's biological clock has arrived and he is so sleepy that he is falling down. Old Bai stayed up all night last night and the dark circles under his eyes look like the heavy metal smoky makeup of a rock band.

[Dad, go lie down on the chair over there for a while. I'll be watching you. I'll call you when grandma comes out!]

Just as Xiaobai was trying to persuade Laobai to go and rest, the door of the emergency room was pushed open from the inside.

The first person to come out was a nurse. She had no expression on her face and said nothing. She walked away from the door, avoiding a bunch of people who were looking over.

Perhaps she has seen too many lives and deaths to be moved by it anymore.

Lao Bai was the first one to rush to the door, just in time to see the transfer bed being pushed out. Grandma opened her eyes weakly and her lips moved, but no words came out.

When we returned to the ward, there were too many people. The doctor told us not to make any noise and left.

The old man in the next bed, wearing an oxygen mask, was sleeping soundly; only the curve on the heart monitor showed that he was alive.

Grandma's spirits were much worse than the last time Xiaobai saw her half a year ago.

【hiss--】

I am a light sleeper and any noise would wake me up, let alone an intentional or unintentional collision by my aunt.

Xiaobai was hit by the force and fell headfirst onto his uncle who was wiping tears with his back to everyone.

[Oh, Xiaowan, why are you so irritable? ]

My uncle was so angry that he was about to lose his temper when my grandmother grabbed his sleeve.

She sat up slowly, and the color on her face miraculously recovered a little.

Lao Bai's eyes darkened, this was a last burst of energy.

[Wanwan, come here and talk to grandma! ]

Xiaobai didn't expect that with so many filial sons and daughters-in-law present, grandma would be the first one to call her.

To be honest, this is the first time she has faced the issue of life and death since she grew up.

Grandma and Xiaobai's mother have a very ordinary relationship, just slightly better than strangers, so Xiaobai will only go to the old house with his parents to eat with grandma during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.

[Granny, you are fine...]

[Okay, okay, okay, Wanwan, I'll introduce a boy to you, go meet him! ]

Xiaobai was stunned, and heard his aunt's chuckle behind him.

[I wonder who dares to say that mom favors boys over girls. She was already thinking about Xiaowan's marriage right after coming out of the operating room! ]

Grandma ignored her and just took Xiaobai aside to tell her about the boy's family situation.

He is the grandson of my grandfather’s old comrade-in-arms. He is the third child in the family and has two older sisters.

The boy is an honest man, 1.8 meters tall, and works as an officer in the county's Commerce Bureau. He owns two apartments in the city and a two-story building in the village.

At the age of 37, I was so busy with my career that I delayed my marriage.

Xiaobai: Thirty-seven + two sisters... Milk, my dear milk, can I complain?

Xiaobai's mother saw that her stubborn nature was coming back, and fearing that she would kick out, she stretched out her right hand like lightning and pinched the itchy spot on Xiaobai's lower back.

Lao Bai subconsciously stepped aside, fearing that the fight between mother and daughter would affect him.

It is better to let my friend die than to let me die. This is the ultimate life-saving skill that Lao Bai has acquired after working in the government for a lifetime.

After explaining this, grandma took her sons and daughters-in-law to talk about the distribution of property.

She is quite fashionable and is said to have asked a lawyer and a notary office to notarize the property, making it fair to all her sons.

The eldest aunt curled her lips and said that she was treating everyone equally, but what about your two married daughters? Did they get a ball of wool from your family?

After hearing this, my elder and younger aunts, who had been sleeping on the floor to take care of my grandmother for half a month, looked a little angry.

【mom--】

[What mom? In order to give you two a decent dowry, I borrowed a lot of money. Your three brothers tightened their belts to work and earn money, and they were hungry for half a year! ]

[In the past thirty years, it was your three brothers who provided me with pension money, and the money for renovating the old house was also collected by your three brothers. What about you two? !

I know that life is not easy when you marry into another family. You guys come back with your son-in-law and kids to stay for half a month during the holidays, and before you leave, you even ask for things from the trunk. Have I ever told you that? Huh?

At this moment, how can you have the nerve to take money from your mother's family again? ! 】

The faces of the elder and younger aunts turned red and white.

The whole room was silent.

After my grandmother finished saying all these words in one breath, she suddenly collapsed. My eldest and second aunts rushed to support her, and everyone quickly called a doctor.

【hiss--】

Xiaobai stood in front of the bed without moving. His hands were so cold that I could feel them through my pocket.

The doctor and a nurse came over quickly, and after some examination and confirmation, [the patient died at 2022:11 pm on November 17, . ]

The nurse recorded it truthfully.

Grandma is gone.

At the funeral, my eldest and second aunts cried so hard that they fainted several times.

On the night of the funeral, they simply packed up their things and left.

Xiaobai took a half-month vacation, and now it’s already halfway through.

[Wanwan, you have to pay attention to what your grandma told you before she left.]

noob:?

The next day, Xiaobai was taken by his mother to a blind date.

He is the 37-year-old boy of 1.8 meters tall with two older sisters that grandma mentioned.

I bit my tail obediently and hung it on her wrist pretending to be an agate bracelet.

【hiss--】

The meeting was scheduled in an elegant teahouse.

Thirty-seven is probably true.

But 1.8 meters...

After taking off those sky-high high heels, I have to lose at least ten centimeters.

【Hello, Auntie. I am Wang Shuo. 】

[Hello, hello. Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. My Wanwan takes this meeting very seriously and took up some time putting on makeup.]

Xiaobai's mother greeted the boy politely and enthusiastically. She looked very satisfied.

Xiaobai: Did I put on makeup?! When? Mom, don't be so eager.

Wang Shuo smiled and stretched out his big hand.

[You are Wanwan, you are really as beautiful as Grandma Bai said. Nice to meet you! ]

Xiaobai didn't want to shake hands at first, but the itchy spot on his waist suffered again and was twisted 180 degrees by his mother.

Xiaobai's mother found an excuse to slip away, and before leaving she glared at her fiercely, her eyes darting like a knife.

What that means is - if you dare to fool me, I will punish you.

【hiss--】

Xiaobai, let me show my appearance so that I can scare him to death!

Wang Shuo's ears moved as if he heard some noise. He looked Wanwan up and down inconspicuously, but did not find anything wrong.

There was a pot of green tea on the table. Judging from the color of the tea leaves at the bottom of the pot, it must have been brewed twice.

Tsk, Xiaobai has always loved drinking milk tea. He doesn’t care which brand it is, as long as the milk flavor is strong enough and there are enough pearls.

Such bland tea water is not her cup of tea.

[Wanwan, I heard from grandma that you are a programmer. It's amazing for a girl to learn this.]

Wang Shuo started praising me right away, but it was hard to tell whether he was sincere or not.

【hiss--】

You called her Wanwan the first time you met her. Isn't that a bit lacking in sense of propriety?
