Translator: Transn Editor: Transn Although Qin Sheng had seen his grandmother last time, the doctor didn't allow him to see her because of her physical condition. He could only stand outside the ward and watch her through the window for a while after she fell asleep.
Seeing his extremely weak grandmother, Qin Sheng felt more guilty and distressed.
It was said that the child wanted to raise his mother, but his parents were gone. Qin Sheng already had such a regret, which was his mother's early death. It was a deep pain in his heart and an irreparable regret.
His grandmother was over 90 years old now. No one knew how long she could live. She might die tomorrow. Therefore, his grandmother needed company most at this time, and such opportunities were getting rarer and rarer.
However, Qin Sheng had disappeared for three years.
If his grandmother had passed away when he came back, how regretful would he be?
Fortunately, his grandmother was still alive, which made him feel extremely lucky.
At noon on the weekend, he arrived at the hospital with Song Ruyu half an hour earlier.
When they arrived, Zhu Weiguo and Zhu Qingwen had already stayed in the hospital for more than an hour. Every time Zhu Weiguo came back from a business trip, the first thing he did was to visit his mother in the hospital. It had almost become a habit in the past three years.
Filial piety was the most important of all virtues, especially for the Zhu siblings.
Zhu Weiguo was usually busy, but he would accompany his mother whenever he had time.
Zhu Qingwen also knew that her brother was busy with work. After all, it was difficult to be loyal and filial, so she took more time to accompany her mother.
When the old lady lived in Shanghai, she would accompany her mother as long as she had nothing to do. She would come almost every other day. When the old lady was in poor health, she would accompany her mother every day without any complaints.
Since the old lady came back to Beijing, Zhu Qingwen had come to Beijing once a week before she was transferred to work at Tsinghua University. She came to the hospital almost every day, as if she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't come to the hospital to accompany her mother.
Therefore, the Zhu siblings were really filial.
Of course, Zhu Weiguo's wife, Wu Yajun, was also very filial. Zhu Qingwen's husband, Zhu Changshun, was also busy with work, but he would accompany the old lady when he had time. After all, he could get to where he was today because of the Zhu family's silent support.
The elders were so filial, not to mention the other younger members of the Zhu family. Besides, they had spent more time with the old lady since childhood. After all, the Old Master had been in a high position at that time and didn't have much time to accompany them, so they had more leisure after he retired.
Therefore, the children had a deeper relationship with the old lady. They would come to the hospital to visit the old lady every now and then. They would take the initiative to accompany the old lady if they had nothing to do.
They had to work. If they didn't visit the old lady for a long time, the Zhu siblings would come to the hospital.
In the waiting room of the hospital, Qin Sheng finally saw his uncle, whom he had not seen for a long time. Perhaps because he had just returned from a business trip, his uncle did not even bother to change his clothes and directly came to the hospital in his military uniform. There were several guards on duty at the door of the waiting room.
When Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu walked into the lounge, Zhu Weiguo didn't seem to be excited to see his nephew again after three years. He said calmly, "You're here. Sit down."
Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu walked over quickly. He greeted them respectfully, "Uncle, Small Aunt."
Qin Sheng didn't know whether Zhu Weiguo was thinking about national affairs or worried about the old lady's health. He seemed to be a little absent-minded, which made Qin Sheng mistakenly think that this uncle was angry. After all, he had too many responsibilities that he couldn't shirk at that time. So it was no wonder that an accident happened.
Who else could it be?
In the end, the ones who were afraid were the ones who cared about him the most, especially the ones who made his grandmother worry too much.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Zhu Qingwen took the initiative to ask, "Ruyu, I heard that you have been choosing wedding dresses these days. How is it going?"
In fact, Song Ruyu didn't care about that. However, Qin Ran and the others said that they had to pay attention to it. After all, they would only get married once in their lives. How could they be so casual?
Song Ruyu, who was sitting next to Zhu Qingwen, replied, "My elder sister and the others have already chosen a wedding dress for me. It's just that the wedding dress is custom-made, so it will be some time before I see it."
Zhu Qingwen said half-jokingly, "I trust Ran Ran's taste. But Small Aunt is really looking forward to seeing you in the wedding dress. I guess you will be very beautiful. After all, Ruyu is beautiful. I don't know what good karma Qin Sheng has accumulated in his previous life."
Every time when the Zhu Family and the Qin Family were in front of them, they would say the same thing. Song Ruyu seemed to have gotten used to it.
At this time, Zhu Weiguo looked at Qin Sheng and said, "Treat Ruyu better in the future. You disappeared without a trace in the past three years, but Ruyu bore all the pressure for you. Do you know how wronged she was?"
"Uncle, I know. It's all my fault. I won't let Ruyu down." Qin Sheng didn't dare to say anything more at this time. He had to promise obediently.
Zhu Weiguo said with some emotion, "Three years have passed just like this. Your grandmother has been waiting for you for three years. I'm really afraid that she won't be able to wait until the day you come back. Maybe she has been waiting for you with this breath all the time. I'm afraid that when she sees you, her breath will also be gone."
This was what everyone in the Zhu Family was worried about. The old lady was like a lamp that had run out of oil.
Therefore, sometimes the Zhu Family hoped that Qin Sheng would come back earlier, and sometimes they hoped that Qin Sheng would come back later.
However, these things were destined not to be decided by them.
Moreover, birth, aging, illness, and death were common things in human beings.
Qin Sheng didn't know what to say. He was also afraid that such a situation would happen, which would make him a sinner.
At this time, Zhu Weiguo said lightly, "Go in. Your grandmother is already waiting for you."
Qin Sheng hesitated for a few seconds. What did his uncle mean?
Zhu Qingwen explained, "Your uncle was afraid that your grandmother would not be able to accept the news of your sudden appearance. So he told your grandmother in advance this morning so that she could be mentally prepared. The doctor also said the same thing. He was afraid that she would be too emotional to see you. At the same time, he was also testing your grandmother's physical condition."
Hearing this, Qin Sheng understood what was going on. After thinking about it carefully, it made sense. In this way, everyone could rest assured.
Qin Sheng stood up slowly and looked at his uncle and small aunt with a complicated feeling. Finally, he walked to the ward with heavy steps.
Song Ruyu was a little worried. Zhu Qingwen timely said, "Ruyu, you go with him."
Song Ruyu hurriedly stood up and followed Qin Sheng into the ward. Maybe the old lady would be in a better mood when she saw her.
In the ward, two nurses were accompanying the old lady. They were all nurses carefully selected by the hospital and took care of the old lady in every possible way. For patients like the old lady, the hospital would have a professional medical team to take care of them. It could be said that the patient's condition was monitored 24 hours a day.
Qin Sheng slowly opened the door of the ward. When he saw his grandmother lying on the bed, he subconsciously stopped and could not move his legs.
At this time, the old lady also felt someone coming in. She instinctively looked at the door of the ward. When she saw that it was the grandson that she had been longing for day and night, the old lady's eyes instantly froze. All her eyes were on the grandson that she loved the most. It seemed that she was unwilling to leave him for a second. It seemed that she was afraid of him the next second.
He disappeared.
She had waited for three years. Finally, this silly grandson appeared.
In the beginning, they lied to her that Qin Sheng had gone abroad. But if he had gone abroad, at least they could contact him. Even if her grandson was at the end of the world, he would definitely call her or send her a video call. But why didn't he?
Later, they could not hide it anymore. They said that Qin Sheng had an accident and was missing.
At that time, she felt that the sky had collapsed. How could something happen to him? How could he be missing?
My poor grandson had just come back for a short time. How could he be missing again? What on earth was going on?
Under her tough questioning, the others told her the truth and told her what had happened. Only then did she realize how serious the situation was.
They all said that he was just missing and nothing had happened to him.
But she did not believe it. She felt that everyone was lying to her. Something must have happened to her poor grandson.
At that time, she almost died. She did not know how to explain it to the old man and her daughter. How could she have the face to see them?
Because of this, she was in a coma for a week, which shocked everyone.
When she woke up later, Old Master Song appeared with Qin Changxing. Qin Changxing swore that Qin Sheng was safe and sound, but could not come back for the time being. He told her that she must believe that Qin Sheng would come back sooner or later.
At first, she did not believe it. But after Old Master Song said it, she believed it.
This wait went on for three years.
The others did not believe that Qin Sheng was fine. Maybe he was already dead. They did not believe that Qin Sheng could come back. But she firmly believed that her grandson would definitely come back, and he would come back safe and sound.
She had countless dreams in the past three years. In her dreams, her grandson told her, "Grandma, you have to be well and wait for Sheng 'er to come back."
So she never gave up.
So she did not dare to leave.
She was afraid that her grandson would be sad if he did not see her when he came back.
So she waited. She had been waiting.
Today, she waited.
In fact, everyone was worried that something would happen to her because she was too excited about Qin Sheng's coming back. She knew her health condition better than anyone else. She did not want her children or her grandson to worry. So she had thought about it many times.
If her grandson came back one day, she would be calm, as if they met each other normally.
So when her son and daughter told her in the morning that Qin Sheng had come back, he had come back a few days ago. But because she was not in good health, she did not dare to let Qin Sheng see her. She just peeped at him outside the ward.
She was stunned for a few seconds when she heard the news. It would be a lie to say that she was not excited. How could she not be excited?
Her eyes turned red, but she wiped away her tears. She smiled and said, "It's good that he is back. I know my grandson will be fine."
Then she forced herself to calm down and not be too excited.
Therefore, she had been waiting for her grandson since the morning. She had calmed down a long time ago. She felt that it was enough as long as he came back.
At this moment, when she really saw her grandson, she was very calm.
After she came to her senses, she waved at her grandson with a smile in her eyes and on her face. "My Sheng 'er is back."
Hearing this, Qin Sheng could not stand it anymore.
He directly knelt on the ground with a flop and said guiltily, "Grandma, I am not filial. I made you worry."
