Dajie's grandmother, Xu Ma's sister Zhang Xiuyan, died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
The old man is turning 70 this year. He originally planned to celebrate his 70th birthday in September, but he didn't expect the accident to happen so suddenly.
Speaking of which, Zhang Xiuyan's health has not been in good condition over the years. Thanks to the various nutritional supplements sent by Xu's mother, she has been able to support herself until today.
When Xu Ma heard the bad news, she was completely stunned.
Suddenly he collapsed on the ground and cried loudly.
The sadness is beyond words.
Xu Dong and his wife tried to persuade him, but it didn't work.
In the end, it was the children who showed up, which made Xu Ma relax a little.
"Dongzi, you go and book a flight right away. We'll leave in the afternoon. Mom wants to see your aunt for the last time."
"Okay, I'll order now."
Xu Dong immediately took out his mobile phone.
Yang Lina quickly advised: "Mom, Yiling is so far away, why don't you go, Dongzi and I can go there on behalf of our family."
"No, mom has to go."
Xu Ma wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and then sighed:
"I originally thought that we haven't seen each other for two years. I just happened to go there in September to celebrate your aunt's seventieth birthday. I didn't expect that your aunt would leave so quickly."
"Nai, I want to go with you too."
Lele took grandma's hand and said.
Coco and others also expressed their intention to accompany them.
Xu's mother touched her little granddaughter's head: "No, grandma will come back as soon as she goes. You guys can help your mother prepare the luggage at home. When grandma comes back, we will set off for Hancheng."
Old people think flying is too dangerous.
I don’t want to “impair” my grandchildren.
If she hadn't been unable to wait, she wouldn't have chosen to fly or let her youngest son accompany her.
Xu Dong put away his mobile phone: "Mom, the flight ticket has been booked. The flight will fly directly to Yiling at 1:30 in the afternoon."
"There's also Da Jie, don't forget it."
Xu Ma reminded.
"I didn't forget, we booked it together."
"That's good!" Xu's mother turned to look at her daughter-in-law and said weakly: "Nana, you can make lunch. Try to make breakfast. Mom is not feeling energetic, so go back to the room and lie down for a while."
"Mom, I'll help you back to the house and leave lunch to me."
Yang Lina helped her mother-in-law to the bedroom.
An hour later, Xu Bin and his wife, Xu Jingyi's family, and Ma Lingling's family, who came over after hearing the news, all gathered together.
Xu Ma was half leaning on the head of the bed, holding a water glass in her hand.
Xu Bin suggested: "Mom, if you are not in good health, don't be brave. The third child and I can go there."
"Yes, grandma, let my dad go!"
Xu Jingyi echoed.
"Stop talking. I won't feel at ease if you don't go."
Ma Lingling interrupted: "Grandma, my mother said she would come over in the afternoon. She asked you to wait for her and accompany you there then."
"Tell your mother not to come over." Xu Ma waved her hand, "Your brother-in-law has already booked a flight at 1:30. Do what you are supposed to do, don't bother."
"Then let me go with you, right? We can't have no one in our family show up, right?"
"It's not necessary. Grandma can go."
Xu Ma refused directly.
She didn't want to delay her granddaughter's honeymoon.
Ma Lingling wanted to persuade her again, but Dad Xu came back, followed by Da Jie who was in tears.
"Auntie..."
After Da Jie entered the house, she pounced directly on Xu Ma.
"Good boy, don't cry. My aunt will go home with you later."
Xu Ma herself also started crying.
"Old lady, can I go with you?"
Father Xu said.
Xu Ma shook her head: "Just let Dongzi accompany me. Didn't you make an appointment with Mayor Luo tomorrow? Business matters are important."
"It's okay. At worst, we can change the time."
"I said no, you're not in good health yourself, so don't be tired."
Xu Ma said worriedly.
The old man was also in poor health. What happened to her eldest sister reminded her that she should pay more attention to her physical condition. When she comes back this time, she plans to talk to the old man about it.
At the very least, you can't work overtime all the time, and you should take at least two or three days off every week.
After everyone's persuasion, Xu's father finally gave up his idea. He was getting older and he couldn't accept it anymore.
“whenyoudreamsealiveyou”reunstoppable…”
Suddenly, Xu Dong's phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Yang's father calling, so he quickly went outside to pick it up.
"Hey, Lao Yang, what do you want from me?"
"Lao Xu, do you have time this afternoon? Let's arrange a place to chat?"
Xu Dong apologized: "I'm sorry, something unexpected happened at home, and I have to go out in the afternoon. However, my dad has time, so you can discuss it with him."
"What happened?"
Father Yang quickly expressed concern.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel worried. He was afraid that the other party was deliberately perverting him, which would be bad.
"My aunt just passed away due to illness."
"Ah... my condolences!"
"Thank you for your concern! Lao Yang, my dad will be at the bakery in the afternoon. You can just go directly there. My dad means what I mean."
"Okay, I'll be there at 3 pm."
...
After hanging up the phone, Xu Dong immediately called his father aside, and then briefly introduced the matter of opening a branch factory in Kangaroo Country.
"Dad, 25% is the bottom line, you must bite the bullet."
Dad Xu nodded: "I know."
"If this cooperation goes well, I suggest that we find a few more franchisees next time. The production capacity of Xinke Seaweed is getting bigger and bigger. We should make a good layout in advance."
"Is it necessary? The profit of franchisees is too low, and it may even squeeze the local market. You have to think it through."
Dad Xu couldn't help but remind.
"Dad, don't worry! The outside world is in chaos. If a war breaks out, our bread will not be worried about selling at all. There is nothing to worry about."
"Are you absolutely sure?"
"Uh... I should be?"
If it was before, Xu Dong would never hesitate, because he is a reborn person with foresight.
It's a pity that the advantage of rebirth is almost used up.
Will there be a war in the future?
When will it start?
How big will it be?
When will the war end?
He is basically the same as everyone else, he can only rely on guessing, as for whether it is accurate or not, it depends on God's will.
"What do you mean it should happen?"
Xu's father said unhappily.
Xu Dong touched his chin and nodded solemnly:
"Believe me, the war will happen sooner or later. Many European countries are born as bandits. They are used to robbing. Dogs can't change their eating habits."
"What if it doesn't work?"
Xu's father naturally saw his youngest son's hesitation.
I don't know if it's because of his age, but his third son has suddenly become unconfident recently. He wants stability in everything, and is more conservative than him, an old man.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. The potential of Xinke Seaweed is much greater than that of Coke Bakery. As long as the new company can be a great success, it will be enough to replace a hundred bakeries."
Xu Dong smiled and comforted.
