Two generations of military wives compete for time

Chapter 220: Grandma Huang Returns to Yaochi

The 120 ambulance drove into Lijia Village with a sound of "whoosh". It arrived in front of the luxurious villa owned by Li Guangfa. The doctor rushed upstairs carrying a stretcher.

The emergency doctor used a portable electrocardiograph carried in the car to examine Li Guangfa and confirmed that Li Guangfa was dead, and issued a death certificate,...

Grandma Huang has been lying in a coma in the hospital bed for a week. The doctor suggested that she go home to take good care of herself and arrange her funeral.

Grandpa Kuang said: "This is good, the environment at home may be able to wake her up."

Housekeeper Wei Suqin called manager Zhang Meijuan, who sent someone and a car to take Grandma Huang, Grandpa Kuang, and Wei Suqin back to Kuang's house.

Grandpa Kuang called Qian Yizhen and said, "Yizhen, is there any news about my eldest son? I'm afraid your grandma Huang won't be able to wait for Kuang Chen to come back. Alas..."

"Grandpa Kuang, don't worry. I will go ask my great uncle now to see if he has any news." Qian Yizheng comforted.

As he spoke, Kuang Yu took his five-year-old granddaughter's hand and came to Grandpa Kuang.

"Nana, call grandpa quickly." said Kuang Yu.

Grandpa Kuang said happily: "Yizhen, my daughter and great-granddaughter are here. I'm going to hang up first."

"Nana, come here and let your great-grandfather take a look. You are the first child of the fourth generation that I have seen." Grandpa Kuang excitedly looked at the little baby in front of him, who was related to him by blood.

"Dad, where is my mom?" Kuang Yu asked.

"Your mother is lying in the bedroom in the east wing. You should go and check on her," said Grandpa Kuang.

Kuang Yu said to Nana, "Nana, play with your great-grandfather, I'm going to go see my great-grandmother."

"Great-grandfather, let's go see great-grandmother together. I don't even know what she looks like." Nana said.

"Okay, let's go see great-grandmother together." said Grandpa Kuang.

Kuang Yu, Grandpa Kuang, and Nana stood beside Grandma Huang's bed and saw that Grandma Huang's chest was rising and falling with her breathing. She was lying motionless on the bed with her eyes closed, her hair graying, and her face pale.

Kuang Yu called out twice, "Mom, Mom." He then reached out and touched his mother's forehead, but Grandma Huang did not respond.

Nana asked: "Grandma, great-grandma is asleep. Let's play with her when she wakes up."

"Kuang Yu, your mother is in a vegetative state now. The doctor said she won't last much longer. It depends on whether she can live to see your eldest brother again." Grandpa Kuang said.

"Dad, when will my second brother come back? Have you contacted my eldest brother?"

"Kuang Xi will arrive tomorrow. We are still waiting for news about whether your eldest brother can come back or not," said Grandpa Kuang.

Housekeeper Wei Suqin came in with a bowl of medicine soup: "Grandpa Kuang, Dr. Lu Kaipu from the Chen Mansion has prepared the Chinese medicine for Grandma Huang. Give it to Grandma Huang."

"Okay, I'll feed mother the medicine." Kuang Yu said.

"Grandpa Kuang, Sister Kuang, Nana, lunch is ready, please go to the restaurant to eat. I'll feed Grandma Huang her medicine." said housekeeper Wei Suqin.

"Xiao Wei, thank you for your hard work. I will help you feed the medicine. I need to learn some skills of serving the elderly from you." Kuang Yu said.

Housekeeper Wei Suqin scooped a small amount of medicine into a spoon and put it on Grandma Huang's lips. Grandma Huang's lips moved slightly, and the medicine slowly flowed into Grandma Huang's mouth.

"I heard from Doctor Lu Kaipu that this medicine soup contains ginseng and other tonic herbs that can boost energy and prolong life. I hope Grandma Huang can hold on until her eldest son returns from the United States to see her." Housekeeper Wei Suqin said as she carefully fed the medicine soup to Grandma Huang.

Kuang Yu silently took a towel and wiped off the medicine that had flowed out of her mouth. Feeling guilty, she silently confessed to her mother in her heart: "Mom, ever since I joined the Red Guards in high school and married to Beijing on my own initiative, I have never been with you again.

During the more than 50 years of being married far away, I have been so busy running around and taking care of my own trivial matters that I have unknowingly weakened the relationship between me and my parents. I am sorry, mother.

When I was young, I always felt that the world outside was better than home. But after so many twists and turns, it was finally my parents who paid for me to buy a house in Beijing and settle down there.

My parents are almost 90 years old, but I have never done anything for them, not even washing clothes, cooking, taking them for walks, shopping, chatting, etc. These are the most ordinary and common things, but I have never done any of them. "Kuang Yu couldn't help secretly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Beep-beep-beep, the landline phone rang: "Grandpa Kuang, good news, Uncle Kuang Chen has agreed to come back to see mother. The procedures for returning to the country are rather complicated, and visas and other procedures are being expedited. Please wait patiently." Qian Yizheng called.

Grandpa Kuang said excitedly: "Okay, okay, I'll tell Old Lady Huang right away and make her happy."

Grandpa Kuang put down the phone, ran to the bedroom, took Grandma Huang's hand and said, "Old lady, don't leave yet. Wait a few more days, our eldest son Kuang Chen will be back, wuwuwu."

"Grandpa, you are a crybaby and no one likes you." Nana said in a baby voice.

"Nana, you know, you cry when you are sad, and you also cry when you are happy. These two kinds of crying are different." Kuang Yu explained.

"Grandma, I understand. Great-grandfather is crying because he is happy, right?" said Nana.

"Nana, you're right, great-grandfather was crying because he was happy." Grandpa Kuang echoed.

Five days later, Kuang Xi, Kuang Yu and Grandpa Kuang finally welcomed Kuang Chen into the Kuang Mansion. Kuang Chen returned to the Chen Mansion exhausted. After more than 20 years of ups and downs, he had become unrecognizable to Grandpa Kuang, Kuang Xi and Kuang Yu.

After careful identification, Grandpa Kuang took Kuang Chen's hand and said, "My Chen'er, is it really you? Go and see your mother. She is holding on to her last breath, hoping that you will come back."

Kuang Chen came to his mother Huang Wanying's bed, grabbed her hand, and gently called out, "Mom, Chen'er is back. Please open your eyes and look at me."

Grandma Huang did not respond. Kuang Chen knelt in front of his mother's bed and called "Mom" three times. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Grandma Huang's eyes.

"Mom heard it. Look, she is crying." Kuang Yu exclaimed.

"Xiao Wei, go and ask Dr. Lu Kaipu to come over and tell him that Old Mrs. Huang has a reaction." Grandpa Kuang said.

Grandpa Lu Kaipu hurried over and took Grandma Huang's pulse. Everyone held their breath and watched Grandpa Lu Kaipu's every move.

Grandpa Lu Kaipu took the pulse, stretched out his hand to feel the breath, shook his head and said: "Brother Kuang, sister-in-law has passed away peacefully, without pain, prepare to take care of the funeral."

Grandpa Lu Kaipu said to Kuang Chen, Kuang Xi and Kuang Yu: "Your mother has returned to the fairyland. Please accept my condolences."
