I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

Jia Zhang was lying flat on the kang in the back room, mumbling a few incomprehensible syllables. Now she really couldn't get any help from heaven or earth.

As the saying goes, a long-term illness makes a son unfilial! She has been paralyzed in bed for more than a year. At the beginning, Qin Huairu could accompany her in the back room for a while every day, serving her three meals a day and her daily cleaning. She was concerned about her well-being!

Now Qin Huairu had lost her patience a long time ago, and she stayed here for less and less time every day. Serving her became perfunctory. Sometimes Sha Zhu couldn't stand it anymore, so he would come over to open the window for her to ventilate and help her clean the house.

Jia Zhang is very tired now! But she doesn't want to leave now, she wants to see her beloved grandson Banggeng for the last time.

All day long, Qin Huairu poured her a small bowl of water in the morning and placed it on the head of her kang. She was afraid that she would drink too much water, so she often ran over to take care of her.

She was now hungry and thirsty, and wanted to shout and curse loudly, but her tongue was not able to turn and she would not listen to her. She used her right hand, which was still able to move, to grope over and grab the empty bowl of water, and smashed it against the glass window with all her strength.

There was a "crack" sound, and a hole was smashed in the glass window, which immediately alarmed the residents in the backyard!

"Hey! Head of the household, that Jia Zhang is making trouble again! How can you feel at ease leaving Qin Huairu, a paralytic, in our backyard?" The second aunt stuck her head out of the door to take a look, then turned back and said to Liu Haizhong.

"Why do you care so much? Just live your own life." Liu Haizhong took a sip of wine, put down the wine cup and replied to her disapprovingly.

It's not like her Jia family doesn't have the means to hire a nurse to take care of Jia Zhangshi. But her family has overseas connections, and hasn't the postman come to deliver the remittance slip every month?

But Liu Haizhong is not a bad guy now! His business is booming! When he goes out, who doesn't call him Boss Liu?

He now runs a shell company with Xu Damao. One of his apprentices is now the director of the third steel rolling mill. With the approval of the unplanned steel materials issued by his apprentice, Liu Haizhong controls the supply.

Xu Damao knew many cadres of township enterprises. With the two of them working together, it was so easy to do business. Now, in order to quickly obtain market information, his family was the first to install a telephone.

The glass window was smashed, but no one came out to care for her. The northwest wind was still blowing into the house, making Jia Zhang shiver with cold.

By midnight, the cold was unbearable and I felt dazed. I seemed to hear Banggeng coming back and talking.

Jia Zhang used the half of her body that was still conscious to slowly move towards the kang, and suddenly she fell off the kang. After a while, she used her remaining hands and feet to crawl towards the door...!

The next morning, Qin Huairu took a bowl to the back room to deliver breakfast. Before she entered the room, she found a big hole in the glass window of the back room.

Qin Huairu felt depressed when she saw this. It was the coldest time of the year now. If Jia Zhang caught a cold and fell ill while sleeping inside, she would be the one to suffer.

When she pushed the door into the main room, she put the bowl of porridge in her hand on the dining table. She went to open the door of the inner room, and the scene in front of her made her dumbfounded!

She saw her mother-in-law lying on the blue brick floor behind the door in a single layer of clothing, her whole body frozen. She reached out to touch Jia Zhang's mouth and nose, but she was already dead.

Qin Huairu quickly ran out the door, calling out "Shazhu" as she ran. Her cry was so miserable that the neighbors in the courtyard were so scared that they all came out to watch.

It was clear what had happened! Jia Zhang must have wanted to call for help in the middle of the night, but she couldn't speak, so she had to smash the glass to attract people.

But it was freezing cold in the middle of the night and no one wanted to go out and meddle. She tried to crawl out of the door but froze herself to death.

Sha Zhu came over to take a look, shook his head, bent down and carried Jia Zhang back to the kang. It was better this way, so that she would not suffer too much in the future.

The Jia family set up a mourning hall. Qin Huairu wiped her tears and called Xiaodang and his wife to inform them of the death. The couple had no choice but to take leave and rush back to attend the funeral.

Sha Zhu rode his bicycle straight to Lou Mansion in Dongdan. He wanted to see if Jingyi was still there. He hoped that her granddaughter could see Jia Zhang off for the last time.

He had never mentioned the address of the Lou Mansion to anyone in the Jia family in the past few years. Otherwise, the Lou family would not be so quiet.

Jingyi was about to go to CCTV with assistant Molly when she ran into Shazhu at the entrance of Lou Mansion. Jingyi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was here to look for Lou Xiaoe.

"My mother doesn't live here, she got married and moved away!" Jingyi spoke first. She just wanted to make Shazhu give up.

"I know that! I came to see you today just to tell you that your grandmother, Jia Zhang, passed away. It's up to you whether you want to go or not!" Sha Zhu didn't even get off his bicycle. After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Did she ask you to come?"

Jingyi asked behind him. She was not moved at all by Jia Zhang's death.

"No, it was my own decision. She used to cry and beg you to go back, but now she never mentions you again." After saying this, Sha Zhu rode away on his bike.

This situation made her feel torn! People in this country value filial piety, and she is a public figure. But she was unwilling to go to the Jia family like this.

Turning his head to look at assistant Molly, he could only ask her to go on his behalf. But Molly was in the city for the first time, so she needed someone to lead her.

Jingyi went back to Lou Mansion and called Yushui for help, then went to the wreath shop to order two wreaths. One wreath was signed with "granddaughter Jia Huaihua" and the other was signed with "younger generation Lou Jingyi".

When the rain came, she saw the names on the two wreaths and couldn't understand what was going on.

"After you go there, if anyone asks, just say I'm at the TV station and can't leave. If the family has any requests, try to meet them!" Jingyi instructed Molly. She was now occupying Huaihua's body, and also helping Huaihua fulfill a little filial piety.

The two wreaths were sent to Courtyard No. 95. Qin Huairu looked at the strange girl who came in with her with a confused look on her face. When she saw the elegiac couplets on the two wreaths clearly, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

How could the same person be addressed in two different ways? Could it be that...? Qin Huairu was stunned, not daring to think further.

Xiao Dang saw his sister's new assistant Molly coming to the courtyard to deliver a wreath. He quickly ran over and asked Molly: "My sister asked you to come? Where is she?"

"Jingyi is rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala at CCTV and can't leave. She asked me to come and ask if you need anything else?"

"We are already very grateful that my sister sent you here. We don't need anything!"

Xiao Dang was really happy. Her sister sent Molly here, which meant that the relationship with this place was beginning to ease. Deep down, she also hoped that the family could be reunited.

But her mother changed her attitude of looking forward to her sister's return and remained silent. She didn't even say a word to greet her sister. This puzzled Xiaodang and his wife!

When Molly attended Jia Zhang's funeral on behalf of Huaihua these days and said goodbye, Qin Huairu actually felt relieved! There were some things she really didn't dare to say, for fear that what she said would come true.

In a few days, it was New Year's Eve. This was Jingyi's return to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala after four years. Every household was watching TV, but Qin Huairu didn't even turn on the TV.

This year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala invited only Lou Jingyi, a Hong Kong and Macau artist, and Bao Nana, a singer from Taiwan. She appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and sang a song "Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Miles" for the audience in front of the TV in front of the whole country.

This song expresses the desire of a wanderer who misses his hometown and wants to return home. This indicates that the relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has eased from tension.
