Bonus Chapter 4: Wearing Matching Outfits

"Brother, starting today we're moving in with Mom and Dad. Before, Mom and Dad fed me dog food every day, but from now on, the two of us will feed them dog food every day..." Although he said this, he was also worried that something unexpected might happen without their knowledge.

"You brat, I don't want to eat dog food! Ah Heng, I'm hungry. Tell the chef at my great-granddaughter-in-law's restaurant to make me some boiled cabbage." This dish was her favorite, and it was also the most famous dish at her great-granddaughter-in-law's restaurant.

It's quite mild, making it suitable for the stomachs of the elderly.

"Okay, I'll have them bring it over. Do you want to go back and wash your face, make a cup of tea, and wait for dinner?" When Lu Zhiheng heard his wife say in a coquettish tone that she was hungry, he immediately perked up. Nothing was more important than his wife's hunger.

"Brother, look, look! Whose elderly couple, almost 90 years old, act like this? Are they trying to stuff us to death with their lovey-dovey antics?" He Caiwei watched her parents showing affection, grabbed her brother's hand, and followed the unreliable couple, angrily preparing to go next door to order food, intending to turn her grief into appetite.

“It’s not lunchtime yet, and we just had breakfast. I’m worried you might have indigestion, so let’s go clean the room a bit to help you digest before you can eat.” Lu Qingfeng didn’t want to interfere with his wife’s thoughts, but they had only just eaten breakfast, and even if they ordered food now, they wouldn’t be able to eat it.

But remembering that my wife said she wanted to stay here, I thought I'd take her to clean the room first, and also to help her digest her food.

The rooms here are cleaned regularly, so they're not very dirty. I was just going to check what else needed to be repaired.

He Caiwei followed her brother back to the room. As soon as they got back, she hugged him and burst into tears.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? She was fine just now. Why are you crying?" Lu Qingfeng hadn't figured out the intricacies of the situation yet, but seeing his wife cry made his heart ache.

"Mother will dream of this today, so the time is probably almost here."

When Lu Qingfeng heard his wife say that, he knew why she was crying.

“Then I’ll call the children and ask them to come back. Or I’ll have them all come home to stay recently. The opening ceremony is coming soon, and the venue isn’t far from here. Let’s do it this way and have them stay at home.” Lu Qingfeng wanted the children to keep the old lady company, so he planned to have them come home to visit her during this time, no matter how busy they were.

“Sure, they’ve been busy with the opening ceremony lately, and this place is close to the venue, making it convenient for them to travel back and forth.” He Caiwei wouldn’t let the old lady know that it was he who asked the children to come back and do it. After all, the old lady said that everyone wants to have their own independent space, so whether it’s a grandson or a great-grandson, the coming-of-age gift from the old lady is a house.

She gave away a car as a gift after passing the driving test, which made her grandson's classmates extremely envious of their family for having such an extravagant old lady.

People in their family tend to get married quite young. Their eldest son got married at 21 after graduating from university, and their grandson is even more remarkable—he got married as soon as he reached the legal marriage age.

The girl was his classmate. The two had been dating for four years and got their marriage certificate along with their graduation certificate.

In just three days, more than 30 people from four generations gathered together.

The old lady was happy to see the house so lively, but instead of joining in the fun, she watched the live stream from home.

She said she was too old for such crowded and noisy scenes.

The thirty-odd people in the family went along with her and obediently stayed home to watch the live stream with the old lady.

The opening ceremony went on very late into the night, and the old lady fell asleep leaning against the old man, a smile on her face. But when the old man tried to take her back to her room, he found that she was no longer breathing.

Seeing the old man's shocked expression, He Caiwei knew what had happened...

Their guess was right; dreaming of events from 60 years ago meant she had enough time left.

It's been a total of 7 days, from when I dreamed about the fire until now, exactly 7 days.

"dad……"

"It's alright, I'm fine. I'll go get Ping'er a new outfit..."

Lu Zhiheng wanted to carry his wife back to their room, but he overestimated his strength. Lu Qingfeng noticed and quickly came over to help him.

"Uncle, be careful, let me help you..."

Lu Qingfeng knew that his uncle would definitely not want him to do it and would send it back directly, so even though he knew that his uncle was not very strong, he still only said he would help support him.

"good……"

Lu Zhiheng knew he was getting old and weak, so he accepted his nephew's help without hesitation so as not to hurt his wife.

The others also learned that the old lady had left, and they silently followed Lu Zhiheng all the way to the room. Lu Zhiheng insisted on changing his wife's clothes himself and kicked his daughter and nephew out.

When He Caiwei's youngest son saw this, he quickly called his uncle and asked them to help invite his grandparents over.

Due to his work in his early years, Uncle Lu's legs became somewhat weak in his later years. He would experience unbearable pain when the weather changed, and he even had to use a wheelchair to walk.

Aunt Lu is doing a little better. Although she also participates in training, she has always worked in logistics, which is easier than working on the front lines. She also doesn't have as many health problems as she's getting older. However, since her children are busy with work, she's always the one taking care of Uncle Lu.

Occasionally, when my uncle and aunt bring their children back from the port city, they stay with them.

My uncle happened to be back with his whole family for this sports meet.

Upon hearing the news of He Yuping's death, Wu Meifang was stunned. They had just eaten dinner together that evening. He Yuping usually took good care of her health and hadn't shown any discomfort or sudden symptoms. How could it be so sudden?

After Lu Zhiheng helped his wife change her clothes, he changed into his own clothes, which she had made for him, saying that they would wear matching outfits when they passed away.

After changing his clothes, he lay down next to his wife, took her hand, intertwined their fingers, closed his eyes, and slowly stopped breathing.

He Caiwei and the others found no movement inside the room, and when they opened the door, they discovered that the old man had also left.

Everyone just silently shed tears. The old lady didn't like people crying and had warned them that if she were to pass away one day, she wanted to hear her favorite songs and wear her most beautiful clothes.

He Caiwei fulfilled the old lady's wish that the two of them should lie in the same coffin. The old lady's favorite opera was playing on the television. With the family as witnesses, they were laid to rest.

After the old man and woman passed away, He Caiwei fell ill and was bedridden for a whole month before slowly recovering with the encouragement of her family. However, He Caiwei was no longer as energetic as before.
