20 years of living in a nursing home, 40 years of detours are avoided

“Passed away……”

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone seemed to be forcing himself to complete the sentence.

“No, I remember Old Liu's health was always pretty good, how could he……”

The bad news came suddenly.

Old Master He's body swayed involuntarily.

His eyes were filled with bewilderment.

The man on the phone was a little choked up.

But being middle-aged.

As the head of the family.

No matter how sad the situation, he had to force himself to maintain basic composure and reason.

“My father just passed away two minutes before you called.”

“The cause of death was acute cerebral hemorrhage, Uncle He……”

The man paused here.

He spoke quietly with someone nearby for a few words before continuing: “Uncle He, I still have a lot of my father's funeral affairs waiting for me to handle, if possible……”

Before he could finish speaking.

Old Master He nodded agreeably: “I understand, you go take care of Old Liu's funeral arrangements first, and when the time of the funeral is set, I will definitely attend on time.”

“Thank you, Uncle He.”

The person on the other end of the phone really had things to do.

Hearing Old Master He say this, he thanked him and hung up the phone quickly.

After hanging up the phone.

Old Master He looked at the phone, a little lost.

Indeed.

When people get old, they should spend more time playing with their friends.

Otherwise……

It will be like now.

Each meeting is one less.

Thinking this, Old Master He shook his head at Jiang Yuan; “It's really boring to eat with you youngsters, I'd better ask my old friends if any of them are nearby and want to hang out.”

As he spoke.

Old Master He silently put a cross through the line of phone numbers belonging to Old Master Liu.

Live broadcast comments:

[I don't know if saying this is a bit disrespectful to the deceased, but was that really a coincidence just now? The person passed away two minutes before Old Master He called?]

[Is this thing really an ordinary phone book, and not something like a Death Note?]

[Old Master He is going to continue making calls, we'll know if it's really weird or not after watching for a while.]

[Ever since hearing the bad news, Jiang Yuan, that dog thing, has been silently turning his wheelchair to the position furthest away from Old Master He.]

[That dog thing doesn't know what's going on, he's very superstitious.]

[……]

“Grandpa Liu was really nice to us youngsters, I can't imagine that someone with such a good temper would just suddenly pass away……”

Old Master He was not in a good mood, and He Miao was about the same.

When she was little.

Old Master He was the kind of old man with a not-so-good temper.

When He Miao got into trouble as a child and was afraid of being beaten by her grandfather and didn't dare to go home, she would hide at Old Master Liu's house.

Every time this happened.

Old Master Liu would take out a lot of delicious food to tell the young her not to be afraid.

Then he would call her grandfather to his house.

Slowly.

He would reason with him and persuade him with emotion.

Although in the end, she would inevitably be scolded.

But under the protection of Grandpa Liu, she didn't get beaten much in her childhood.

In He Miao's heart.

Old Master Liu and Old Master He were no different in status, both were her grandfathers.

“Wuwu… Grandpa, I really miss Grandpa Liu……”

“I haven't gone to see Grandpa Liu for almost half a month, I originally planned to go after today, how come I can't even see him one last time?”

He Miao hugged Old Master He and patted him gently on the back to comfort her: “Since ancient times, no one can escape death, you have to face Grandpa Liu's death today, and you will also have to face Grandpa's death in the future, it's okay, it's all okay……”

“Wait a few days, go to Grandpa Liu's funeral and say goodbye to Grandpa Liu properly……”

“Tsk! I found it, your Grandma Qin's phone number.”

Although Old Master He was comforting He Miao.

But at the same time.

The action of Old Master He flipping through the phone book did not stop.

Finally.

Old Master He's action of flipping through the phone book stopped on one of the pages.

“Grandma Qin?”

He Miao, whose eyes were red from crying, blinked after hearing this name.

Quickly.

She matched it with the person in her memory.

“Are you talking about that Grandma Qin, your Grandpa Liu's first love in his student days, that you often told me about?”

Old Master He nodded.

“Back then in his student days, your Grandpa Liu really liked your Grandma Qin.”

“But they are already so old, there is no love between these two people anymore, your grandpa, I, just feel that such a big thing as Grandpa Liu's death, as your Grandpa Liu's first love, Grandma Qin also has the right to know.”

“As for……”

“Whether or not to send your Grandpa Liu off, that is your Grandma Qin's own choice, your grandpa, I, am just making a phone call.”

Old Master He said, while wearing his reading glasses, he slowly pressed that string of phone numbers that he hadn't dialed in a long time on his phone.

“Beep beep — —”

“Beep beep — —”

Old Master He's phone microphone is really bad.

The waiting tone after he dialed the phone was clearly heard by everyone in the entire private room.

Jiang Yuan also slowly sat up from his wheelchair.

Staring at Old Master He's phone.

Tsk.

He may have read too many strange online novels recently, and for a moment, his imagination was a bit over the top.

Old Master He can send people away with just one phone call, what is he thinking?

“Hello, may I ask who you are? I see that my grandma's note for you here is Old He.”

Just as Jiang Yuan was thinking this, the phone call that Old Master He dialed was connected.

This time.

The person who answered the phone was still not Old Master He's friend himself.

But a young man.

Listening to the young man's suppressed sobs in his tone while answering the phone, Jiang Yuan felt unwell all over.

Old Master He: “Yes yes yes, I am Old He, I want to share something with your grandma, is your grandma nearby, let her answer the phone.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Suddenly, a man's collapsed crying came from the other end of the phone.

“No, child, what happened to you?”

“Listen to grandpa and tell you, in this life, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.”

“Is your grandma next to you, is it convenient……”

The man on the phone cried for a full two minutes.

Only then did he finally find his voice.

“Grandpa He, hello, are you my grandma's friend?”

“My grandma is next to me, but she can't answer the phone now, she… wuwu……”

“She… wuwu… is already cold……”

The young man's choked voice came from the other end of the phone.
