The Spring Festival of 1963 was spent in a peaceful atmosphere. Last year, the family had a new baby. This year’s New Year, Mrs. Tang’s wish was to have another new baby in the family next year. The cousin’s face was so red, but the cousin immediately promised , work hard to complete the task. Everyone is full of expectations for the new year.

After the Spring Festival, Tang Xin planned to go home and stay for a while, allowing Jiang Wenbai to spend more time with his parents. However, not long after returning home, he received the news that Chen Xi's grandfather had passed away. Before the winter vacation, the old man's condition began to relapse again. Chen Xi went back to the countryside to spend more time with the old man, hoping that the old man could survive this crisis. But the old man still hasn't spent this winter.

The news was brought back by Tang's father. Chen Xi's grandfather was the former president of the University of Washington. He passed away, and the University of Washington was going to organize a farewell ceremony. All UW faculty and staff also knew the news.

Tang Xin cared about Chen Xi immediately. She knew that Chen Xi had a very deep relationship with her grandma and grandpa. She didn't know how to feel sad about her grandpa's death.

"Mom, I want to call Chen Xi's house and ask about Chen Xi's situation." Tang Xin said to Tang's mother.

"Well, you should. Go quickly and comfort that child." Tang's mother took out the money from her pocket and handed it to Tang Xin, asking her to make a phone call at the corner of the street.

Tang Xin took the money and went out to call Chen Xi's family. The person who answered the phone was his nanny. Chen Xi's family members had all gone to the hospital and they hadn't come back yet. Tang Xin patted her head in annoyance. Yes, she was confused. How could they be at home at this time? They must all be in the hospital.

Tang Xin asked her aunt to wait until Chen Xi came back to tell her that she had called her. Chen Xi is welcome to come over at any time if it is convenient for her.

When she hung up the phone and walked back, Tang Xin suddenly felt that although the Spring Festival had just passed, and every house had Spring Festival couplets posted in front of their doors and red lanterns hung, this street scene actually made her feel a little desolate. My mood suddenly dropped.

When she got home, she walked into her aunt's room and saw her aunt leaning against the wall reading a book, with a thick cushion behind her, peaceful and peaceful. Tang Xin took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang, shrinking to her aunt's side.

Seeing Tang Xin's actions, my aunt put down the book in her hand and took off her glasses, "What's wrong, sugar baby? Have you finished calling Chen Xi?"

"The fight is over. They are all in the hospital and not at home. They blame me for being confused. They have all forgotten about this." Tang Xin hugged her aunt's waist and said in a low voice.

Feeling that Tang Xin was in a low mood, her aunt understood what Tang Xin was thinking. They had discussed it before, but the child was sometimes too preoccupied and she still had to think about these things by herself. So she pulled the thin quilt around her to cover Tang Xin, and patted her gently with one hand, "Take a rest for a while, sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be over." Under the gentle pat of her aunt. , Tang Xin indeed slowly fell asleep.

After Tang Xin fell asleep, Tang's mother came in and saw Tang Xin sleeping next to her aunt on the kang. "How is Sugar Baby?" Tang's mother asked in a low voice. I knew that the child would be sad to hear the news of Grandpa Chen Xi's death.

"It's okay, it's okay. Our sugar baby is a smart child. There are some things that she needs to figure out on her own. Once she figures it out, it will be fine. You have to believe her." My aunt looked at the sleeping Tang Xin with a loving look on her face.

Chen Xi came in the afternoon of the next day. When she saw Tang Xin, she hugged Tang Xin and cried loudly. "I don't even dare to cry like this in front of my mother. She must be more sad than me. I have to comfort my mother and grandma, but I, I just can't help it." Chen Xi said with sobs after crying.

Tang Xin knew that all words were useless at this time, and only listening and companionship were the most important. "It doesn't matter. If you want to cry, just cry here. My place will always be open to you."

"Tang Xin, you're so kind!" Chen Xi hugged Tang Xin moved and wanted to cry again. What should I do?

Dangdang, there was a knock on Tang Xin's door.

"Tangbao, it's brother, can I come in?" Brother Zhanbo's voice sounded outside the door.

"Brother, come in." After looking at Chen Xi to see if she minded, Chen Xi sat up straight, wiped his tears, and nodded to Tang Xin.

Brother Zhan Bo opened the door and came in. When he walked into the bedroom, he saw two little girls sitting side by side by the kang. Chen Xi's eyes were red from crying.

"Chen Xi, my condolences are with you. No one can control this. Birth, aging, sickness and death are natural laws. You have to be strong." Zhan Bo comforted him awkwardly. His sister has always been very smart and does not need special care from him, so he is really unfamiliar with comforting girls.

After crying and venting, Chen Xi felt much better. Seeing Zhan Bo's clumsy and comforting look, I instantly felt very heartwarming. "Thank you, Brother Zhan Bo. Don't worry, I'm fine. I just wanted to vent. I feel better now that I've cried."

"Well, that's good. If you have anything to do in the future, tell Sugar Baby more. She has many ideas, so don't keep it to yourself, you know?" Zhan Bo explained.

"Oh, I see."

"Well, if you have any questions, you can come to me. No matter what, I ask you to call me brother." Zhan Bo coughed uncomfortably and continued.

"Okay." Chen Xi agreed without much thought.

But Tang Xin was keenly aware that something was wrong. Did this brother care too much about Chen Xi? This is not the kind of friendship that usually occurs when we grow up together. Is it brother?

Tang Xin observed her brother carefully. She only saw that he was a little worried about Chen Xi. The rest could not be seen yet. Is this kid good? Can he hide his emotions?

Take a closer look at Chen Xi. Chen Xi has a sweet and pleasant appearance. Her big eyes and two dimples make her smile particularly charming. Now her eyes are red from crying, but she looks so pitiful and pitiful that it makes me feel bad to see her. But now is not the time to think about this, Chen Xi is feeling sad, let’s talk about it later. It is more important to comfort Chen Xi now.

Chen Xi stayed at Tang's house all afternoon and was in a much better mood when he went back. Father Chen and Mother Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, they were quite worried about Chen Xi. There were a lot of things going on at home at this time, and they had no time to take care of their child's mood. Fortunately, she had a good friend Tang Xin who could persuade and guide Chen Xi. Take a look at this afternoon, the child's mood is obviously much better.

Grandpa Chen Xi’s farewell ceremony was organized very grandly, because after all, he was the former president of the University of Washington and also enjoyed a certain reputation in the academic world. In addition, he had taught and educated students for many years and had countless students, so many people came to express their condolences. .

Looking at the people coming and going, everyone looked sad. Tang Xin couldn't help but think about when she passed away in her previous life, if anyone besides her family members really felt sorry for her. A lifetime of hard work is nothing more than a handful of dust. In the end, the bridge returns to the bridge and the road returns. What can be left behind?
