Chapter 946 Qin Kunlun: Mom! You’re here!
"grandmother!!!"
"Girl! My white girl... no, white kid!"
Qin Ruobai's steps became faster and faster, and he staggered more and more, and fell into the old man's arms.
Tears streamed down her face, her eyes were filled with tangible longing for him, and she hugged the old man tightly, refusing to let go.
The old man had tears on his face. He held up Qin Ruobai's face, which looked very much like his daughter, in his hands and looked at it over and over again. The more he looked, the more shocked he became, and the more tears he shed.
"My child, you look exactly like your mother, you could be cut from the same mold!"
Grandma's hands were trembling, and she didn't dare to put them on Qin Ruobai's cheek, as if she was afraid that if she reached out to touch the person in front of her, the 'daughter' within her reach would immediately turn into a dream bubble and be shattered by her touch.
She could only hold up that face that was so familiar to her lovingly, gently, and with great care. Fearing that it would be broken, bruised, or dropped, she turned her more than ten years of remembrance into a kiss on Ruo Bai's forehead.
This kiss, placed on Qin Ruobai's forehead, was like traveling through time and space, kissing the forehead of the girl who left home many years ago.
"I miss my mom!"
Qin Ruobai hugged the old man tightly, buried his head in his arms, and enjoyed this long-lost moment of tenderness.
In the more than ten years since her mother passed away, she has never enjoyed such an embrace.
My mother is the closest person to me in this world besides my mother.
Grandma’s embrace is so warm. Once you hold her embrace, you never want to let go!
"Baby, I miss her too! I miss her too!"
Grandma closed her eyes and gently rubbed the back of Qin Ruobai's head with her palms. Two lines of hot tears rolled down her slightly dry cheeks. Her excitement became concrete at this moment.
It was as if after more than ten years of longing, she finally saw the person she had been thinking about day and night, and she hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go.
This scene made Li Xiangnan, Wang Defa, Zhang Jingyang and others extremely moved and full of emotion.
"Grandma, can you not leave? Can you stay in Yanjing? I really miss you!"
After the hug, Qin Ruobai hoped that they could stay together longer.
The old man rubbed his grandson's head, smiled, and did not answer.
The emotions in this world are full of right and wrong, gratitude and resentment. How can they be eliminated with just a few words of retention?
"Grandma, you came all the way from Nansha. That's not a small road. Even if you take the train, it will take almost two days. Are you in a hurry to go back? Grandma is not that anxious! If my grandparents and dad knew you were here, they would be so happy! Stay here for a while, okay?"
Qin Ruobai was a smart man. When he saw that the old woman just smiled and didn't answer, he knew that she still had some resentment towards her father in her heart.
Her grandson did nothing wrong, so she definitely wouldn't blame him for anything!
But mother is her daughter after all, she is the apple of her eye.
These past ten years have definitely not been a life for a human being!
Qin Ruobai herself understood this deeply, and she believed that her grandmother must be feeling extremely uncomfortable as well!
But the fact that the old woman came all the way from Nanxiang Province to visit her deceased daughter after so many years shows that she should have accepted it to some extent, or has already let it go!
All that’s left is the final move that can help her make a decision!
Qin Ruobai certainly hopes that her grandmother's family and her own family can live in harmony, and not return to the same situation as before because of what has happened.
This time, grandma didn't just smile, she shook her head and sighed, "Kid, there are some things you don't understand..."
"Grandma, after all these years, you're here to pay tribute to my mother. It means you care about my mom and me! This is a rare opportunity, so you must give us a chance! If grandpa and the others knew you were here, they would be so happy!"
The old man shook his head, his expression mired in pain again, and said, "Wait, do you know why I came here?"
Qin Ruobai was stunned and shook his head subconsciously.
Boom boom...
At this moment, the sound of a roaring engine came from the mountain road on the other side, attracting everyone's attention.
Li Xiangnan didn't listen carefully to what the two were talking about, but looking at his wife Qin Ruobai's expression, he guessed that his grandmother might not be willing to stay in Yanjing and have something to do with the Qin family.
"grandmother!"
He quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Although Ruobai kowtowed in front of the grave just now, he didn't have time to burn yellow paper and send Yin tickets to his mother-in-law... Can you accompany Ruobai back to the grave again? My mother-in-law is an amazing person! If my mother-in-law knew that you and Ruobai met after so many years, her spirit in heaven would be very happy!"
"Grandma~" Upon hearing this, Qin Ruobai understood what Li Xiangnan was trying to do, and looked at the old woman pleadingly.
"Okay, okay! Let's go to the grave and take a look. You talk to Bai Yatou and burn some paper!"
The old man would naturally not refuse anything that could make his daughter better.
Seeing the two of them starting to go up the mountain accompanied by Song Yi, Ding Yuqiu and Qiao Henwan, Li Xiangnan waved behind him: "Weidong, you and Lao Cui hurry down the mountain and find Song Zimo. Ask him to drive to the phone station and call my father-in-law and tell him that grandma is here. Go quickly!"
"Okay!" After hearing this, Yang Weidong and Cui Xingjian hurried down the mountain.
"Let's catch up!" Li Xiangnan immediately led his men to chase after them through the shortcut.
"Xiao Li!" Wang Defa caught up with him and pulled him back, reminding him, "I heard from the old lady that my accent is not from Yanjing. Why does it sound like Nanxiang? She came to Yanjing alone, and her life was more miserable than your grandmother's when she came from Hongshan County! We can't let the old lady go back like this!"
"Yes!" Li Xiangnan looked up at the sky, closed his eyes and said, "One less look, old man! We must seize the opportunity to come this time! We must eliminate the grudge between the Bai family and the Qin family..."
"Grandma, look!"
As they were talking, the male comrades had already caught up with the female comrades and saw them standing motionless on the hilltop.
Li Xiangnan was curious, so he rushed over with Defa and others. When he looked at the tomb passage at the foot of the mountain, he was shocked.
I saw a lot of cars on the winding road.
There are cars, jeeps and bicycles.
Men and women, young and old, all wore plain clothes. Those who held flowers in their hands had a bunch of crabapples. They came to the cemetery halfway up the mountain in groups of three or four. There were at least a hundred people.
"Grandma, look! Your daughter has been gone for so many years, but she has never been forgotten! She is a hero living in our hearts!"
Li Xiangnan stepped forward to support the old man and spoke softly.
The old man was speechless but deeply moved.
They walked down the mountain to the middle and followed the crowd to Bai Haitang's tomb.
People presented flowers to Bai Haitang and swept her grave to silently express their respect.
Qin Ruobai supported her grandmother and watched quietly, waiting quietly.
No one explained, and those who came to pay their respects thought that they were there to visit Aunt Bai's grave just like themselves.
"Team Qin?"
Finally, when a group of police officers came forward to present flowers, they discovered that Qin Ruobai was standing nearby holding an old man, and they hurriedly reminded Guo Qian and Zhang Tiancheng in the team.
"Director Zhang, Captain Guo, this is my grandmother!" Qin Ruobai did not hide anything and directly introduced her grandmother's identity to the two of them.
The two looked at each other in surprise, and hurried forward to greet each other, and then rushed to pay tribute to Bai Haitang.
Li Xiangnan noticed that Zhang Tiancheng seemed to be hesitant to speak, and knew that he might know what happened to his mother-in-law.
"aunt!"
Sure enough, when Zhang Tiancheng came back after the ceremony, he looked apologetic, but he still asked first: "Are you feeling well?"
"I'm old, that's it!" the old man replied calmly.
"Where is uncle? Is he okay?" Zhang Tiancheng asked again with concern.
The old man smiled and didn't answer.
Zhang Tiancheng's face froze. He looked back at Bai Haitang's grave and instantly guessed something. His face darkened and he looked as if he had been defeated. He looked extremely regretful.
Just as he was feeling upset and thinking about how to comfort the old man, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled. He turned around and saw Guo Qian winking at him, so he turned his head to look in the other direction. He couldn't help but shudder all over again and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Minister Qin, you...you are here!"
At this moment, a path opened up among the crowd.
At this moment, Qin Kunlun, with his slightly gray temples, did not have the majestic aura of a mountain, but had the calmness of a farmer. He walked forward with heavy steps and a little staggering, his eyes always on the old man in front of him.
When he finally got closer, he looked at the old man who had silently turned his head away, and then he knelt on the ground.
"Mom! You're here!"
