After the wedding, the guests left one after another and the courtyard returned to its former tranquility, but He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e's life had a new beginning.

They cleaned up the mess after the wedding together. Although they were a little tired, their hearts were full of happiness and satisfaction.

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e and said with a smile: "Today is such a special day. Thank you, Xiao'e, for giving me such wonderful memories."

Lou Xiaoe responded: "I also want to thank you, Zhuzi, we will live a good life in the future."

As the days passed, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e supported each other and managed their lives together.

He Xiangyang and Sun Xiaolin were very happy to see that their parents' problems in the second half of their lives had been solved.

The two are preparing to put their marriage on the agenda.

He Daqing suddenly fell ill.

He Daqing's illness immediately disrupted the peace of the courtyard and the happy life of He Yuzhu's family which had just gotten back on track.

The whole family was suddenly in a panic. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e hurriedly put down their work and sent He Daqing to the hospital.

He Xiangyang and He Hongmei also followed anxiously behind, their faces full of worry.

He Yushui also came to visit with his son.

In the hospital, doctors are busy conducting various examinations and diagnoses.

He Yuzhu was pacing anxiously outside the ward, while Lou Xiaoe and He Yushui were sitting on chairs, with anxiety in their eyes.

He Xiangyang, He Hongmei and Sun Xiaolin looked at the door of the ward from time to time, hoping that the doctor would bring good news.

After a long time, the doctor finally walked out of the ward and said solemnly, "The patient's condition is not optimistic. It is a complication of multiple diseases caused by long-term fatigue and physical dysfunction. He needs to be hospitalized. You must be mentally prepared."

He Yuzhu trembled slightly after hearing this. He suppressed the grief in his heart and asked, "Doctor, how much time does my dad have?"

The doctor sighed and said, "It's hard to say. It depends on the patient's recovery, but overall, the situation is not optimistic. You should stay with him more and keep him optimistic."

From then on, He Daqing moved into the hospital ward, and the focus of He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e's lives shifted to the hospital.

They came to the hospital early every day to take care of He Daqing's daily life, feeding him, wiping his body, and chatting with him.

He Yushui also took time out to come and look after his father on behalf of his brother and sister-in-law.

Lou Xiao'e's mother, Tan Yali, also came to visit many times. As both were descendants of the Tan family, the two established a deep friendship through their long-term contact.

Now seeing He Daqing fall ill, after visiting him several times, Tan Yali was very sad.

She knew that as time passed, her generation would gradually disappear in the long river of time, forever.

He Xiangyang and He Hongmei also frequently come to the hospital to visit their grandfather after work. They will tell He Daqing some interesting things in life, hoping to cheer him up.

However, He Daqing's condition did not improve despite his family's careful care, but instead became increasingly worse.

His body became weaker and weaker, and speaking became difficult.

One day, He Yuzhu, He Yushui, and Lou Xiao'e all sat by He Daqing's bed to keep him company.

He Yuzhu gently held his hand and said, "Dad, how do you feel? You have to get better soon. We are still waiting for you to come home."

He Daqing smiled weakly and said, "Zhu Zi, Dad knows his body and is afraid that he will not get better. Don't worry too much. I have done many wrong things in my life. I am very happy that you can be so filial to me.

What I regret most today is that I listened to Yi Zhonghai, let the White Widow get involved, and abandoned you two and went to Baoding City."

He Yuzhu's eyes were moist, and he said, "Dad, let's not talk about the past..."

"No, Dad wants to tell you, Dad wants to repent. I hid my identity as the inheritor of Tan's cuisine so that you two brothers and sisters could have the identity of a third-generation hired farmer, so that you could live a better life in the future.

Who knew that Yi Zhonghai knew about this? He not only seduced the White Widow to seduce me, but also threatened that if I didn't go with the White Widow to defend the city, he would expose my identity as a royal chef. Then my whole family would become the target of criticism, and you would have a hard time from now on..."

Lou Xiao'e also frowned and said softly, "How can Yi Zhonghai do this? This is too much."

He Daqing took a breath and continued, "Later, I really followed the White Widow to Baocheng, thinking that I could escape this disaster. But I didn't expect that this incident would bring so many twists and turns to our family. Zhuzi, Yushui, Dad is sorry for you."

He Yuzhu held his father's hand and said, "Dad, this can't be entirely your fault. The situation was too complicated at that time."

He Yushui also burst into tears and said, "Don't say anything. We misunderstood you. We are sorry for you. You must take care of yourself now and get better soon. Xiangyang and Xiaolin are still waiting for you to hold a wedding for them?"

Lou Xiao'e also said, "Yes, Dad, you must hold on, we are all here with you."

He Daqing nodded slightly. He looked at He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e with relief in his eyes. "I'm relieved that you two can be together and live a good life. Zhuzi, you must treat Xiao'e well in the future and don't be confused."

He Yuzhu nodded vigorously and said, "Dad, I know, I will."

As time went by, He Daqing's health became worse and worse, and he knew that he didn't have much time left.

One night, the ward was unusually quiet, but He Daqing's spirits unexpectedly improved.

He called He Yuzhu, Lou Xiaoe, He Xiangyang, He Hongmei, Sun Xiaolin and He Yushui's family of three... all to his side.

He Daqing looked at his son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren and said slowly: "Children, I am leaving. After I leave, you must live well and take care of each other.

Zhuzi, you are the mainstay of the family, you must take responsibility and take good care of the family. Xiao'e, Zhuzi sometimes has a bad temper, you should bear with him.

And my relative Tan Yali is also my junior sister, Zhuzi, you should be more filial to her..."

He Yuzhu said with tears in his eyes: "Dad, don't worry, I will."

He Daqing turned to He Xiangyang and Sun Xiaolin and said, "Xiangyang, Xiaolin, Grandpa can't wait for your wedding. After Grandpa is gone, you don't have to follow traditional etiquette and get married as soon as possible.

Hongmei, you are getting old now, you should find a partner, work hard and live a good life. When encountering problems, you should discuss them more and don’t be willful. Your happiness is my greatest comfort. "

Finally, he turned his gaze to the rain.

"Yushui, the person that Dad feels most sorry for in this life is you. Fortunately, you have a good brother. You should get along well with your brother and sister-in-law in the future. Your brother has created such a big family business, you should also help take care of it, so that it will not be in vain that he has treated you like this for so many years..."

"Dad, I know everything you said, and I will..." He Yushui was already in tears at this moment.
