I've always had a crush on her

Chapter 878 The Years Are Quiet 12
By mid-January, Yan Xi had officially returned to work at the company, and she had been on vacation for nearly four months.

Hua Cuo occasionally goes to work, but it's not work, but to take the child to her place, and she has worked hard to breastfeed.

Hui Xiaocuo grew up very quickly, and his body became much stronger, not as thin as when he was born, but now he is a little fat.

On weekends, Yan Sicuo stopped playing and practiced taekwondo in the fighting room.

Seeing that Si Cuo was sweating, Yan Xi said, "Si Cuo, you are still young, so don't rush for success."

"Mom, I want to become very powerful. My sister is only so young. I want to protect her." Yan Sicuo had a serious face. Now that he is an older brother, he has a sense of responsibility.

"Si Cuo, come here and take a rest, Mom has something to tell you." Yan Xi sat cross-legged on the wooden floor.

Yan Sicuo ran over and sat cross-legged next to Yan Xi.

"My sister is only so young because she was born later than you, not because she was born later, you must protect her and help her. It is the responsibility of parents, not yours, to protect you and your sister. You just need to learn to protect Myself." Yan Xi taught earnestly.

Yan Sicuo was a little confused, and looked up at Yan Xi.

"Everyone has their own life, and no one can always protect someone's life. My sister will also grow up, and one day, she will grow up to be as big as you, and she needs to learn to protect herself. You and your sister need to love each other and protect each other. Understood, do you understand?"

Yan Sicuo was startled, and gradually understood what his mother said, his eyes gradually became clear and firm.

Yan Xi smiled, then suddenly stretched out his finger, and lightly poked his cheek. Ever since Si Cuo grew up, he never did such childish behavior to him.

Wrong words and dodge shyly.

"Should I continue to practice?" Yan Xi is recovering, and will strengthen his exercise on weekends.

"Yeah!" Yan Si stood up neatly, as if his whole body was full of strength.

…………

Soon, another year of Spring Festival is ushered in.

Yan Xiaocuo was in good health, so he decided to take Yan Xiaocuo to Nie Shen's house in the capital to celebrate the New Year.

Recently, Nie Shen was ill, and he got better near the New Year. He is already over 70 years old, and his body is not as good as before. up.

This year's Spring Festival is not as happy as in previous years, only Nie Shen is still so happy.

Nie Shen and Yan Xi sat together and talked alone.

"People like us are not afraid of death the most. There are too many things that are more terrifying than death. I can be said to be lucky or unfortunate to be able to live to this day. I have too many regrets in my life, but fortunately No shame."

Yan Xi listened silently and looked at Nie Shen's pale face, but his eyes were full of wisdom and calmness.

Nie Shen was relieved and smiled kindly: "I have some regrets. No matter how long life is given to me, it can't make up for it, so no matter how long life is, it is meaningless. Everything is always born, and there is death, but it never dies." .”

Yan Xi's heart was a little heavy, she realized that Nie Shen's body was already very weak.

"Mom, when will grandpa get better?" Yan Sicuo seemed to realize something.

"Although we are unwilling to accept it, we have to accept it. Grandpa is leaving." Yan Xi said, Si Cuo is about to be 11 years old, so he should be able to receive death education.

"Where is grandpa going?" Yan Sicuo asked.

"Everyone will go through the process from birth to death. Birth and death are an inevitable part of the natural life course of human beings. Most people desire to have a longer healthy life and realize higher life values. But death is irresistible The laws of nature."

"Is grandpa going to die?" Yan Sicuo was a little scared.

"Yes, although he left us forever, he left us many good memories, and he lives in our hearts. Maybe he doesn't care whether he leaves memories in our hearts, because the value of his life is not determined by us, but by us. It is up to him to affirm it. He feels he has realized the value of life, he has accepted death, and we just need to respect his value and death."

"But I'm very sad. I don't want grandpa to leave." Yan Sicuo's eyes were red.

"Yes, we are all very sad, and we don't want grandpa to leave, so we must cherish the time with grandpa even more, and leave more good memories in the limited time."

"Yeah." Yan Si nodded by mistake, and suddenly thought of something: "Mom, will I die in the future too?"

Yan Xi paused, at least in her lifetime, she couldn't accept it.

"You are still very young. As long as you are healthy and love life, your life will be very long. However, life has not only length, but also height. I hope you have your own value in life. As long as you feel that life is full of Meaning, even in darkness, is still full of hope."

Yan Sicuo was a little ignorant, but he had already planted the seeds of the meaning of life in his heart.

"Mom and Dad will die in the future. Don't be afraid. We have done a lot of things that are full of meaning. Although there are regrettable things, they are more beautiful. For example, your appearance makes us feel very good. I am very happy with myself. Life is more satisfying, and death is accepted.”

"Mom." Yan Si cried by mistake. He didn't want his mother to die, but he understood that everyone would die.

"Grandpa is leaving soon. If there is anything you want to say to grandpa, say goodbye to grandpa after you finish."

"Yeah." Yan Si nodded by mistake.

…………

This year's Spring Festival, Yan Xi and Hua Cuo stayed in the capital for a long time.

Until the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Nie Shen couldn't get up.

Nie Shen lay peacefully on the bed, his breathing was gentle and weak, and his expression was neither sad nor happy.

The doctor shook his head and silently exited the room.

Mo Ran's eyes were reddish, but she didn't shed a single tear. Apart from Mom and Dad, she was closest to Grandpa.

Cheng Yunsu and An Qing brought their children.

After nearly 20 years, Yan Xi and Yun Su met for the first time. When they saw each other, they looked at each other and nodded slightly, as if everything in the past had become a thing of the past.

This was the first time Yan Sicuo saw Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu was already 17 years old. He had a tall and straight figure, a handsome face with distinct features like a sculpture, and a stern aura on his body. He was already very imposing at such a young age.

Cheng Yunsu and An Qing took their son and daughter to the bed and talked with Nie Shen.

A heavy sadness filled the room.

Only Nie Shen was smiling. For him, death might be a relief.

Time was flowing in sorrow, Nie Shen slowly closed his eyes, so calm and serene.

When Yan Sicuo saw death for the first time, he would also be afraid and sad, and the hazy consciousness in his mind gradually became clear.

Countless people came to mourn Nie Shen's death, including the country's top leaders.

After the funeral, it snowed heavily that day, and Nie Shen was buried in the National Cemetery.
