My courtyard shelter

On New Year's Eve, the Xu family celebrated a reunion. Except for Pan Jun and Ma Xu, everyone else was there, including the two little kids, Xiao Yuer and Xiao Baozi.

At the New Year's Eve dinner, Xu Ting couldn't help but laugh at herself:

"Other people raise their sons to take care of them in their old age, but my family is so lucky that my son is raised for nothing!"

"Mother-in-law, why are you so anxious?" Yang's mother persuaded with a smile, "Wait until Ma Xu gets his wife back, and then you can enjoy the good life!"

"I'm afraid that you will forget your mother after you have a wife!"

Xu Ting said sourly.

Seeing that her mother was a little lonely, Ma Lingling quickly stuffed Xiao Baozi in.

...

On the fifth day of the New Year, it was dinner time.

Xu Dong suddenly received a call for help from his nephew. Aunt Zhang accidentally fell down when she was going downstairs. The situation was very serious, and the hospital had issued a critical illness notice.

Xu Dong took his elder sister and her husband and left overnight.

Although the parents of both sides had not met formally, as prospective in-laws, it was reasonable for them to go there in person when such a big thing happened.

If Aunt Zhang was in a bad condition, at least she could help with the funeral. The two children were too young and had no experience at all.

On March 3, the yacht finally arrived at Qindao.

After getting off the boat, the three of them went straight to the hospital.

In order to see Xu Dong for the last time, Aunt Zhang endured great pain and held on for half a month.

"Aunt Zhang, we are here to see you."

Zhang Enya, with red and swollen eyes, immediately leaned close to her grandmother's ear and gently called: "Grandma, grandma, wake up quickly, Uncle Xu and others are here."

"Who... is here?"

Aunt Zhang opened her eyes with difficulty.

"Aunt Zhang, it's me, Xiao Xu."

Xu Dong hurried to the head of the bed.

Aunt Zhang took a closer look and immediately showed a relieved look: "Xiao Xu, you are here. Aunt Zhang... finally waited for you. If I don't hand En... En Ya to you personally, Aunt Zhang... will not be able to rest in peace!"

"Don't be pessimistic, it's just a fall, it's no big deal, it will be fine after a few months of rest." Xu Dong smiled and comforted.

"Alas, you... don't coax me, my own body... I know it myself, this time I really... have to go to see the old man."

Aunt Zhang shook her head slowly and kowtowed.

Zhang En Ya, who was standing aside, heard this and immediately threw herself into her grandmother's arms and burst into tears.

Aunt Zhang wanted to reach out and touch her granddaughter's head, but unfortunately she couldn't do it at all. She could only sigh helplessly and let her granddaughter's tears wet the quilt.

Zhang En Ya cried for several minutes, and finally, at Aunt Zhang's order, she was taken out of the ward by Ma Xu.

Some things are not convenient to say in front of the two children, she wants to talk to Xiao Xu and Ma Xu's parents alone.

Xu Dong gently held Aunt Zhang's hand: "Aunt Zhang, Enya and Xiao Xu have already gone out, just say whatever you want to say?"

"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu's father, Xiao Xu's mother..."

Aunt Zhang's spirits suddenly improved a lot.

"Xiao Xu is a good...good child, I...very satisfied, he and Enya really like each other, I hope you can help them."

"Aunt Zhang, don't worry, my sister and brother-in-law have long regarded Enya as their daughter-in-law, Xiao Xu hasn't been home for the New Year for two years, and my sister has no complaints."

Xu Dong replied softly.

Xu Ting followed up and said, "Yes, Aunt Zhang, Enya is a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law. I have already decided that no one can take her away."

"They are both filial children. They are mainly worried about me. I am a burden to them."

"How can this be a burden? You have worked hard to raise Enya. If she is not filial, who else can you be filial to? Xiaoxu wants to marry a wife, so he should also be filial to you."

"It's not...hard work. I have been in poor health in the past few years, and Enya has been taking care of me. Fortunately, Xiaoxu came later and helped Enya reduce a lot of burdens."

Aunt Zhang was relieved.

"Aunt Zhang, if you are worried, I will arrange for them to register for marriage now."

Ma Jie suddenly interrupted.

Aunt Zhang was delighted: "Is it really possible?"

"Of course there is no problem. Xiaoxu is 21 this year and Enya has just reached adulthood. They both meet the conditions for marriage. Why not?"

Xu Ting expressed her opinion on the spot.

In fact, on the way here, they more or less guessed what Aunt Zhang was thinking. After all, after the other party left, Zhang Enya was left alone. How could the old lady feel at ease?

"What day is it today? Is the civil affairs department open for work?" Aunt Zhang asked anxiously.

The old lady was confused and thought it was still the Chinese New Year!

Xu Dong quickly took out his mobile phone and put it in front of Aunt Zhang: "Today is Friday, and the Household Affairs Bureau is open for work as usual."

"Okay, this is God's will! Aunt Zhang probably can't wait too long, Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu's father, Xiao Xu's mother, can I ask you for one thing?"

"Aunt Zhang, just say it directly."

"Can the two children go to get the marriage certificate now? I want to see their marriage certificate with my own eyes."

Aunt Zhang already had a premonition that she was going to die soon!

She was very clear about her physical condition. To put it bluntly, it was a last gasp, just like when the old man left. She might not be able to get up tomorrow.

That's why she was so anxious.

Xu Dong looked at his elder sister and her husband. This matter was not for him to decide. Only the parties involved could make the decision.

Xu Ting nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I will accompany them to the Household Affairs Bureau later."

"Sorry to trouble you!"

Aunt Zhang shed tears of excitement.

Xu Ting quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, while Xu Dong walked out of the ward, ready to tell the young couple about Aunt Zhang's last wish.

Xu Dong waved at the two.

Ma Xu immediately ran over with his girlfriend.

Zhang Enya couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle Xu, how is my grandma?"

"The situation is not optimistic." Xu Dong shook his head, "I hope you two can be mentally prepared. Your grandma may only be here in a few days."

"Wuwuwu..."

Zhang Enya covered her mouth and cried bitterly.

The reason for covering her mouth was mainly because she was afraid of disturbing her grandma, and also because she was afraid that the other party would worry.

"Okay, now is not the time to be sad." Xu Dong reached out and patted his "goddaughter" on the back, and said straight to the point, "Your grandma just said a wish and wanted you two to do it."

"Uncle, what does Grandma Zhang want us to do?"

Ma Xu asked in a low voice.

"Your grandmother Zhang is worried about Enya and wants to see you two get the marriage certificate."

Ma Xu blushed and looked at his girlfriend.

Zhang Enya was at a loss for words. She lowered her head and said nothing with a hint of shyness in her sadness.

Xu Dong secretly winked at his nephew.

Ma Xu understood and immediately knelt on one knee:

"Enya, will you marry me?"

This scene quickly attracted many patients and medical staff to gather around. Zhang Enya looked at the growing crowd and could no longer care about her modesty.

"Xiaoxu brother, get up quickly, I promise you."

"Pa pa pa..."

The corridor was filled with applause.
