Chapter 457 The Old Lady's Last Wish

She cried, "Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about? You will be fine. You can live for another 10 years."

The old lady grinned. She had no teeth left in her mouth. She raised her hand and wanted to hit He Yuzhu twice, but she raised it limply and put it down gently without any strength.

He Yuzhu's nose also felt sore. He turned his head and wiped away the tears from his eyes with his sleeve.

Wang Gensheng also raised his head and tried his best not to let his tears fall. Although he had realized that the old lady's health was deteriorating half a year ago, he still couldn't help crying when he saw her in person.

He Yuzhu unconditionally obeyed the deaf old lady's proposal, and Wang Gensheng had no objection.

When it was Yi Zhonghai and the two old men's turn, they all looked embarrassed. Wang Gensheng could see that they were probably afraid of spending money.

After thinking for a while, Wang Gensheng said to the three people, "Put the news in the courtyard and ask everyone to donate voluntarily. I will cover the remaining amount myself, no matter how much is missing."

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and said, "Brother-in-law, how can I let you be alone for our ancestors' affairs? I, I will pay 1000 yuan."

Wang Gensheng patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "Silly Zhu, your previous money was taken away by Qin Jingru when you divorced. How much money have you saved now? How are you going to live if you take it all out?"

He Yuzhu was still stubborn and refused to budge: "No, I can't let you pay for it alone."

Seeing Zhuzi's insistence, Wang Gensheng smiled and said, "Since you said so, you can take the 300 yuan."

Wang Gensheng's words set the tone for the amount of donations in the Siheyuan.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth, stamped his feet and said, "Then, I'll donate 200."

Yi Zhonghai had spoken, and Liu Haizhong could no longer remain silent. He had been fighting with Yi Zhonghai all his life, and now it was almost the end. He couldn't let Yi Zhonghai suppress him.

The second uncle also gritted his teeth and shouted: "I will donate 200 too."

When it was the turn of the third uncle Yan Bugui, he timidly wanted to leave the door, and it was obvious that he had no intention of donating. Seeing several people looking at him, it was too late to escape.

I could only grit my teeth and say, "I, I'll donate 10 yuan."

Looking at the deaf old lady, who closed her eyes in satisfaction, Wang Gensheng nodded to a few people and said,

"Let's let the old lady rest first, and then we can discuss this matter outside."

Several people nodded and left the ear room.

He Yushui and Yu Yimiao were left to help the old lady lie down slowly.

Sitting in the main hall of He Yuzhu's house, several people began to discuss the details of the New Year.

First, Wang Gensheng said: "Since the old lady wants us to have a reunion dinner together, I suggest that my parents, Xu Damao's parents, the two sons from the second uncle's family, the eldest and his wife from the third uncle's family, and Bang Geng who was kicked out, should all be brought over. That's what we call a reunion."

Saying that you are going to pick someone up is one thing, but whether the other person is willing to come is another. Everything is voluntary.

"It's a pity that I don't have enough time, otherwise I would like to go to Baoding and bring Uncle He back."

Hearing that Wang Gensheng was still planning to pick up He Daqing, the three uncles all looked at He Yuzhu. This time, He Yuzhu did not stubbornly refute, but lowered his head slightly.

It seemed that his knot in his heart was almost untied, and Wang Gensheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's follow Gensheng's instructions on personnel matters. That's settled. As for the purchasing matters, we will allocate them next."

At this point, Wang Gensheng interrupted and said, "I have a bakery there, so I have a lot of flour. I will buy all the meat, and I will pay for any money I need. The money you donate will be used to buy vegetables."

"There are also firecrackers and some festive items for the New Year. Spend them all and don't be stingy. We just want to have fun." After hearing this, the three uncles immediately smiled with joy and made such arrangements.

Wang Gensheng bought the flour and meat, and after some planning, he had much more money in his hands.

"The purpose of the New Year is to have fun and excitement. Since I have some money, I am not afraid to make a bigger fuss."

"Yes, the purpose of the New Year is to have fun, and there are many children in our courtyard. I think we should buy more firecrackers, such as throwing firecrackers, two-kick firecrackers, and red earth firecrackers. With the sound of firecrackers, this courtyard will have the flavor of the New Year."

"Well, the old lady is old, and if there is no movement, I'm afraid she can't enjoy the New Year atmosphere."

"There are also new clothes for the children in our courtyard, and the old ladies all wear new clothes. It's the New Year and we have to be more festive."

"That's fine, but to make new clothes, we need cloth coupons. What should we do?"

"It doesn't matter. As long as we can make new clothes before the New Year, I'll find a way to get the cloth coupons."

"But there's no time. If I want to make clothes, I have to go buy cloth tomorrow, otherwise the supply and marketing cooperative will be closed for the holiday."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow. I'll have someone give the cloth coupons to the Third Master."

"That's fine. Everyone is looking forward to the New Year, to wearing new clothes and having a good meal."

"Director Wang stepped forward and took the initiative to contract the purchase of flour and meat. We have several families in the hospital and look forward to eating meat all year round."

"Yes, a few years ago, when we saw Wang Gensheng, He Yuzhu and the old lady often eating meat at his house, our family was so greedy that our mouths were watering."

"Hey, Old Yan, pork is really delicious, but you can't eat it every day. You'll get sick of it if you eat too much." Liu Haizhong advised Yan Bugui, as if his family could eat meat every day.

But Yi Zhonghai knew that scrambling two eggs for a meal at Liu Haizhong's house was considered an improvement in the food, and he said that just to show off.

Hearing what he said, Yan Bugui couldn't help but drooling, mumbling,

"If I hadn't seen the old lady eating with them, and the meat wasn't much, I would have brought a bowl to their house to borrow one!"

He Yuzhu and He Yushui both lowered their heads secretly and said nothing.

In fact, the lack of meat was just an illusion created by Wang Gensheng. Didn't they eat as much meat as they wanted every time they ate meat?

If Wang Gensheng didn't think eating meat alone was too greasy, he wouldn't even add vegetables.

After all the arrangements were made, Yan Bugui notified every household of the news the next day.

The elderly, the weak, women and children who were not working in the courtyard all came out and started cleaning the courtyard, no matter if it was your house or the front or back of my house, as long as it was in the courtyard, everyone actively took part.

They are clamoring to sweep away all the dirt and bad luck of the year and prepare to welcome the beautiful new year.

The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

Wang Gensheng organized the last show to celebrate the New Year in the cinema. He smiled and asked everyone to clean up the cinema and prepare for the holiday.

On this day, the old lady still had a problem.

Wang Gensheng took an emergency leave and went home to the hospital to give the old lady an IV. The old lady held on with all her might, just waiting for the New Year.
