Chapter 306 The Painful Past (13)
When Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu arrived at Lin's house, the door was open.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" Ji Zeqiu ran in and shouted loudly in the room.
However, it was not Father Lin who came out of the house, but a few strong workers.
"Where are you, kid? Go away quickly and don't disturb our work." The man has a thick beard on his face and his straight cheeks are a bit majestic. He is what children are most afraid of. That kind of grown-up.
Ji Zeqiu's body trembled slightly and he hid behind Ji Tingyang, not daring to speak.
A trace of fear arose in Ji Tingyang's heart. He swallowed his saliva and whispered, "I, let's find grandpa..."
"Who is your grandpa?" The man's rough voice sounded again. .
Ji Tingyang said, "Grandpa is grandpa..."
He didn't know Lin's father's name and didn't know how to describe it, so he grabbed the corners of his clothes and looked nervous.
Fortunately, at this time, the servant who had taken care of them for a while when working in the Lin family came out and saw the two of them.
"Why are you two here?" The servant looked surprised.
"Auntie, we are here to see grandpa." Ji Tingyang said.
"Grandpa hasn't visited us for a long time. He said he would take us home to live." Ji Zeqiu poked his head out from behind Ji Tingyang.
Hearing this, the servant had a complicated look in his eyes for a moment. Looking at the two of them looking full of expectation, he didn't know how to speak.
"Is the grandpa they are talking about the original owner of this house? Hasn't he passed away?"
Before the servant could stop the man's words, he said it.
Died.
These two words are no stranger to Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu.
Death means they will never see that person again, just like mom, dad, and grandma.
And now even grandpa is gone?
The tears of the two children fell from their eyes and they couldn't help crying.
"Woo woo woo, I want grandpa, grandpa..." Ji Zeqiu's heartbreaking cry echoed in the room.
Seeing the tears of the two children, the man instantly understood that he had said the wrong thing, and a bit of panic appeared on his serious face. "What, what should I do? My mouth was too fast..."
The servants have experience in taking care of them, and they can coax Ji Zeqiu to safety in a few moments.
"Do we, Zeqiu, want to visit grandpa?" The servant took out a tissue and wiped Ji Zeqiu's tear-stained cheeks. "After you stop crying, I will take you to the cemetery to see grandpa. "
Ji Zeqiu hiccupped a few times and asked through sobs: "Can I really go see grandpa?"
"Really, I promise you." The servant said. He pulls the hook.
Then he went to wipe Ji Tingyang's tears, "Don't we Tingyang want to be little men? Men don't cry."
Ji Tingyang took the initiative to take the tissue and wiped it. Dry tears, "I won't cry, I also want to see grandpa."
"Okay." The servant smiled and led the two children who had stopped crying out.
Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu have come to Nanshan Cemetery countless times. The first few times they came to see their parents, the next time they came to see their grandma, and now they came to see their grandpa...
< br>Father Lin’s tombstone is right next to Tang Biqin’s. The photo on the monument shows their common kind and kind smiles.
"Grandpa can hear what you are saying. If you have anything to say to grandpa, just say it." The servant touched the heads of the two children.
Ji Zeqiu was the first to speak nonstop, with a choked voice, "Grandpa is a big liar. You clearly said you would take us home. My brother and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Can you come back to pick us up soon? I promise that I will be obedient in the future. I will also sweep the floor and clean the table. I can do whatever I want... Wuwuwu..." Ji Tingyang suppressed his red eyes and whispered, "Grandpa, I miss you so much."
The breeze blew through the bamboo forest around the cemetery, making a rustling sound, as if in response to their words.
The servant also took a deep look at Father Lin's tombstone. Various complex emotions surged in his chest, and finally turned into a sigh on his lips.
Who would have thought that Father Lin, who was walking like flying as fast as a month ago, would now be lying in the tomb in front of him.
She went to the supermarket to buy groceries that day. When she got home, she saw Father Lin lying on the ground in pain, his palms covering his lumbar spine, and his face became distorted and pale.
She immediately called the emergency number and got in the ambulance to take Father Lin to the hospital.
The doctor said it was a lumbar fracture and required hospitalization. After half a month of treatment, Lin's lumbar spine was finally healed.
But her health has gotten worse, and she occasionally says she saw Tang Biqin and her daughter.
Like many elderly people, their physical functions decline rapidly after an injury.
The day they met Ji Tingyang in the mall became their last meeting.
Father Lin passed away within two or three days of returning to the hospital.
Before his death, Lin's father gave her his latest will, leaving all the Lin family's property to his three children.
Just giving it to three children like this could easily be snatched away by Ji Yiyun, so he entrusted her to put the money in the foundation until Ji Tingyang becomes an adult, and then give the money to him.
She has worked in the Lin family for so many years, but she never expected that so many changes would happen in a short period of time.
There will be no one close to take care of these three children in the future, and I don’t know what will happen to them in the future.
A trace of melancholy arose in the servant's heart.
The three of them stayed in the cemetery for several hours, and the servant rushed them back to school before the afternoon class started.
Just before Ji Tingyang entered the school, the servant hesitated and stopped him.
"Hide this money. If you want something or are hungry, buy it yourself." She stuffed a few hundred-dollar bills into Ji Tingyang's schoolbag.
The servants heard that Ji Yiyun often refused to let them eat, and they felt a little distressed.
"From now on, you will be the eldest son of the family. You must take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, you know?" the servant said.
"Okay." Ji Tingyang responded.
After today, the servants will also pack their things and go back to their hometown. This may be the last time she and them see each other.
She looked at Ji Tingyang's retreating figure and sighed melancholy.
that night.
Ji Tingyang had a dream.
Dreaming about his parents and grandparents were telling him to take care of his younger siblings by himself.
This sentence kept echoing in his mind.
Ji Tingyang suddenly woke up from his dream and heard a slight cry in his ear.
"Ji Zeqiu, are you having nightmares?" He turned around and looked over.
Ji Zeqiu sniffed, "Brother, I miss my parents..."
"Close your eyes and you can see your parents when you fall asleep." Thinking of taking care of his younger brother When his sister said this, Ji Tingyang patted his back.
This sentence is like a curse, almost haunting Ji Tingyang's life.
