"Daughter-in-law, I'll open the door." After saying that, Li Chu stood up and put Ding Qiunan on his lap on the chair.
"Who is it? Why are you here now?"
"Then who knows."
The door opened, and a smiling little girl stood outside.
"Dad Chu, I miss you so much."
The little girl immediately threw herself into his arms.
"Don't fool me, Wang Yueyue, I'm not Xiaoxuan, and I don't think I'll see you coming to see me." Li Chu rubbed her hair with disgust on his face.
"Hehe" Wang Yueyue laughed naively,
He let go of his hand and ran in with a bound.
Li Chu looked at her lively back, shook his head with a smile, closed the door, and returned to the middle courtyard.
Wang Yueyue had already approached Ding Qiunan, holding her arm.
Whispering in her ear.
"Okay, you can stay here tonight,
Your parents know, right?"
"Yeah, I told them I came here."
"Yueyue, come in quickly." Wen Hui opened the door of the east wing and called.
"Sister Huihui is here. Mother Ding, Father Chu, I'm going into the house."
As soon as Li Chu walked into the middle courtyard, he saw her running into the east wing like a gust of wind.
"This girl is always so arrogant."
"If you are as unhurried as Xiaoxuan, how will you live in the future? The two of you must complement each other."
After hearing his wife's words, Li Chu felt a headache.
How old are the two children? One is sixteen and the other is fourteen.
As a mother, you keep saying these words every day, is it really okay?
Walking to the kennel under the eaves, Li Chu squatted down and touched Xiao Hei's head.
Xiao Hei stuck out his tongue and licked the palm of his master's hand.
He drooped his head again.
Looking at Xiao Hei's appearance, Li Chu suddenly felt sad.
Eighteen-year-old Xiao Hei could no longer stand up at all.
I can only drink some milk for meals these two days.
Li Chu knew that the dog that had accompanied him and his wife for eighteen years and his two children for sixteen years had come to the end of his life.
No matter how strong your medical skills are, it's of no use. After all, you can't keep them with you forever.
Ding Qiunan sat on the chair and looked at her husband squatting next to Xiao Hei, her eye circles became red.
In the past few days, their family of four has been deliberately avoiding this topic.
Several times when she cleaned the house for her two children in the morning, the pillow towels were always wet.
Birth, old age, illness and death, no one can overcome this hurdle.
Thinking of this, Ding Qiunan stood up and walked to her husband, God, and squatted down next to him, leaning her head against his shoulder.
"Li Chu, is there really nothing we can do?"
"No, if it is because of illness, we can still try our best to treat it, but Xiao Hei is now exhausted, and its life span has come to an end."
Just as he was talking,
Xiao Hei has been lying in the nest,
Suddenly he stood up tremblingly.
Looking at Xiao Hei standing up, Li Chu's heart kept sinking.
"It...how did it stand up?" Ding Qiunan pointed at Xiao Hei in surprise.
Li Chuqiang held back tears and said: "Daughter-in-law, please give it a hug."
Ding Qiunan turned to look at her husband and then at Xiao Hei. Tears could not stop flowing down her face. She stretched out her hands to hold Xiao Hei in her arms.
Xiao Hei stuck out his tongue and licked her face.
Li Chu stood up and shouted loudly: "You three, come out quickly."
The door to the east wing opened, and the third brother and his children came out one after another.
"Dad, what's wrong? What did you call us for?"
Li Chu waved to the children: "Come here and give Xiao Hei a hug."
Wen Hui and Wen Xuan finally realized something, and they both ran over crying at the same time.
Yueyue still didn't understand the situation. She looked at it stupidly, but then she realized what was happening. She walked to Li Chu, took his hand, raised her head and asked, "Dad Chu, Xiao Hei"
Are you leaving?"
"Yes, Xiao Hei is too old and can't bear it anymore."
Before the Spring Festival this year, Xiao Hei almost didn't survive. Li Chu even used century-old ginseng on it to keep it alive for another half a year. This time nothing worked.
Wang Yueyue's tears also fell. She let go of Li Chu's hand and moved closer.
Ding Qiunan stood up and looked at her husband with tearful eyes but hesitated to speak.
Wen Hui and Wen Xuan also let go of Xiao Hei and stood up, looking at Li Chu as well.
They all hope that Li Chu can bring Xiao Hei back to life like he did last time.
Li Chu walked over slowly and pulled up Wang Yueyue who was holding Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei raised his head and glanced at the male host, turned around and walked slowly towards the back garden.
Seeing a few of them wanting to follow them, Li Chu stopped them.
"Don't go, just like Xiaobai and Xiaohua, Xiaohei doesn't want us to see them."
Yes, Xiao Hei's two children have already left one step ahead of it.
Xiao Huang is also too old to run.
Xiao Hei slowly and little by little moved to the corridor leading to the back garden and stopped. He turned to look at the owners in the yard, a tear fell from the corner of his eye, and then he didn't look back.
Disappear around the corner.
"Wow..." Wen Hui finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.
When she cried, Wenxuan, Yueyue, and Ding Qiunan all started crying too.
With a "creak" sound, a small door next to the east wing was opened.
"What's wrong? You can hear crying over there."
Li Qin shouted as he walked past, and Wang Ziwen followed behind.
The yard next door has been given to their sister's house by Li Chu and Ding Qiunan, and now Li Qin and Wang Ziwen live there.
As for the house in the family courtyard, it is currently occupied by Wang Jiadong's family of four.
Yes, Wang Jiadong has returned from the army. He stayed in the army for ten years. After he was promoted, he finally didn't want to stay in the army anymore, so he changed his job and came back.
"Aunt, uncle, Xiao Hei is gone." Wen Hui cried and said loudly.
"Let's go..." Li Qin was about to ask where he was going, but suddenly he understood what his niece meant.
She glanced blankly at Wang Ziwen beside her.
She understood very well what Xiaohei meant to her brother and family.
A bitter smile appeared on Li Chu's face.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you guys, sit down and help me coax them. I'll go back and bury Xiao Hei."
After listening to his father's words, Wenxuan, although still crying, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, walked to him, looked at him firmly and said, "Dad, I'll go with you."
Ding Qiunan also turned to look at her husband and said, "Li Chu, let's go together."
Then he said to Li Qin and Wang Ziwen: "Sister, brother-in-law, please sit down for a while."
Xiao Hei is really different in the hearts of the whole family.
In the past, Li Chu buried Xiaobai and Xiaohua by himself. Ding Qiunan and the children were too sad. But this time Xiaohei was different. No matter how sad they were, they had to go together to see them off.
