Chapter 1486: Old Man, This Is Not Funny
At this moment, no one would object to anything that Elder Lin said. Elder Zhai sat quietly on the sofa, his mouth slightly curled, as kind as a Buddha, without the battle-hardened aura of his youth, watching the scenes as warmly as the setting sun.
Lin Yuankang was slightly startled and exchanged glances with Elder Zhai. Elder Zhai sat there without moving, but nodded to Lin Yuankang, as if to say hello, and as if to admit something.
They had known each other for so many years, and they knew each other's tempers too well. Lin Yuankang was not suitable for sensationalism, and Elder Zhai was not suitable for silence. At this age, the two elders did the most unsuitable thing for their tempers. The answer was self-evident, and they were so helpless.
Lin Yuankang smiled bitterly, looking at the children in front of him with more and more heartache, unable to speak.
Auntie didn't know the situation yet. After hearing Miao Liang's instructions, she brought out the big cake that Zhai Sheng had ordered and put it on the table. There were seven candles on the big cake, representing that the three children were already seven years old: "You can make a wish and blow out the candles."
The three children's birthday today was not as happy as half an hour ago. Dabao led Erbao and Sanbao to stand in front of the big cake, and made wishes with their eyes closed as before. Xiaobao, who was young and ignorant, joined in the fun and did what his brothers and sisters did.
After the three children made their wishes and blew out the candles, Dabao, who was always calm and taciturn, suddenly said: "I just made another wish. I hope that whoever accompanies me on my birthday this year will still be the same person to accompany me on my birthday next year." If it can be realized, he will only make this one birthday wish every year in the future.
Dabao's words shocked all the adults present. When Dabao said this, his eyes were fixed on Lin Yuankang. Obviously, Dabao's wish was mainly for Lin Yuankang. Lin Yuankang was both moved and disappointed, and glanced at Mr. Zhai: I wonder if Mr. Zhai will be angry when he hears Dabao's wish.
Grandpa Zhai smiled. He was indeed the great-grandson he had brought up. He spoke so beautifully. Even though Dabao's words were directed at Old Man Lin, the complete meaning of Dabao's words was to include everyone, including him. How could he be angry with such a smart and thoughtful great-grandson? He would only be happy.
Who let such a good child be taught by him? At least one-third of the credit should go to him.
Grandpa Zhai would not be stupid enough to argue with Old Man Lin over such a small difference. What's more, both of them were old guys who were almost half lying in the coffin. What's the point of arguing over such a small difference? He even thought that the surname Lin was childish.
"The candles have been blown out, let's cut the cake." Seeing that Grandpa Zhai, who was usually like a demon, was unusually gentle today, completely opposite to his usual appearance, Old Man Lin also felt bored: "I'll eat a little."
"Come on, let's eat the cake together." At this time, Zhai Sheng had already cut the cake, and the aunt served the cut cake and distributed it to everyone.
After the Tian couple got it, they tasted it with interest. Tian's father asked Tian's mother to sit next to him. At this moment, he was more determined to take Tian's mother out for a walk. At his age, he didn't know when he and his wife would become the same as Lin Lao. At that time, it would be too late to say anything.
Tian's mother seemed to be touched and became quiet. Even though she saw how Xiaobao was sticking to the three treasures and how much he admired Qiao Nan, his aunt, at this moment, Tian's mother couldn't drink any jealousy at all.
The Zhai family was really good to Xiaobao. Even if Xiaobao was close to the Zhai family, Xiaobao would not learn bad things, but would only get better and better under the influence of the Zhai family. Since it was good for Xiaobao, why did she have to care and care? Also, Xiaobao was close to the Zhai family, but when he was with his grandmother, Xiaobao was not close to him?
No, he was close. Xiaobao still had a very good relationship with himself.
Xiaobao did not distance himself from her because of the Zhai family.
She did not like her grandmother, and the Zhai family had such a good influence on Xiaobao. In the words of her husband and son, Xiaobao would benefit a lot from having a grandmother like the Zhai family in the future. As long as everything was good for Xiaobao, she could open her heart, because Xiaobao was her grandson.
Mother Tian shook Father Tian's hand: "Do you want to postpone it?" Elder Lin was only going to die in the next two days. If they wanted to attend Elder Lin's funeral, then their trip had to be put on hold.
Father Tian was not in a hurry to travel, but he still shook his head at Mother Tian: "No need. I think that with Elder Lin's temper, he would not want too many people to see him off on the day he left. As long as the people he cared about most were by his side and sent him off for the last time, Elder Lin would be satisfied." Especially at this time, it was better for outsiders like them not to get involved.
"I'll listen to you." Mother Tian was in a particularly good mood today, and of course she became easy to talk to. She agreed to whatever Father Tian said.
But plans can never catch up with changes. When Elder Lin "passed away", the Tian couple could choose not to show up, but Elder Zhai and Elder Lin passed away one after the other. As in-laws and as the younger generations of Elder Zhai, they had to show up.
After the three treasures celebrated their birthdays, that night, or to be exact, at 2 a.m. the next day, Elder Lin passed away with a smile.
The aunt who took care of Elder Lin was grief-stricken, but she always remembered Elder Lin's instructions and did not dare to tell Qiao Nan and the three children the news immediately. She only greeted Zhai Sheng secretly.
At that time, Zhai Sheng was guarding Grandpa Zhai just like the previous two days. He had just finished a phone call with the aunt invited by the Lin family. When he returned to Grandpa Zhai's room and took a look at Grandpa Zhai, he suddenly found that there was something wrong with Grandpa Zhai.
Zhai Sheng frowned, walked to the bedside of Grandpa Zhai, and touched Grandpa Zhai's hand. Although Grandpa Zhai's hand still had a little temperature, it was a little lower than the normal body temperature of ordinary people. Zhai Sheng held his breath and put two fingers on the position of Grandpa Zhai's neck artery. The artery at that position stopped beating!
"Grandpa? Grandpa, Grandpa? Grandpa!" Zhai Sheng had no choice but to push Grandpa Zhai, but no matter how hard he pushed, Grandpa Zhai did not respond at all, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep and could not be awakened: "Grandpa, Grandpa, wake up, don't joke like that, Grandpa?"
Grandpa Zhai's paused breathing, his stiff limbs, and the fact that he could not be awakened no matter how he was called, all told Zhai Sheng that Grandpa Zhai was just like Old Lin, and both of them had passed away when the three treasures' birthdays had just passed.
