A silly son fell from the sky of the Red Chamber
Chapter 22 Growth
The days passed like flowing water, after Guanglu left Jiangnan, Wanyan Jin would often send people to Jia's mansion to pick up Cancan, and often met Yayin, but Cancan gradually became familiar with her.And Lin Daiyu, who had been to Prince Yu's Mansion several times with him, also gradually learned about Wanyan Jin's special feelings for Cancan.
She is not surprised, after all, Cancan has a special status, it seems that as long as she meets him and spends more time with him, she will have a very good impression of him.
Due to frequent outings, Lin Daiyu and Cancan did not feel bored, but found a lot of fun.But because of this, she has been able to confirm that Madam Wang's jealousy and peeping can even be said to be disgusting.Of course, when they had further contact with Jia Baoyu, the performance was more obvious.
There are many rumors in the capital, and Lin Daiyu frequently contacts Yu Wangfu, even if it is because of Cancan, even if Yu Wang is not in the capital, there are still many rumors about the relationship between her and Yu Wang.Perhaps because of these rumors, the old lady seemed to have given up on the idea of making her and Jia Baoyu a pair.
Therefore, Lin Daiyu gradually distanced herself from Jia Baoyu, and even because she refused repeatedly, the other party seemed to understand something, and stopped probing and approaching Jia Baoyu intentionally or unintentionally.On the contrary, Shi Xiangyun, who took over Jia's mansion after Mrs. Wang's instruction, has been living there, and seems to have no intention of going home.
After dinner two days ago, everyone gathered in the old lady's room to chat. Mrs. Wang mentioned that her widowed sister was about to bring her children to live in the capital.The old lady naturally responded positively, and Wang Xifeng also cleverly accepted the task of cleaning up the yard to entertain the aunt who came from afar.
The Jia family was very active, Lin Daiyu, a bystander, didn't feel much, her thoughts were all on a new house that Cancan bought.
Before leaving Beijing, Guanglu asked people to pay attention to his relationship, and finally he fell in love with a house.After Cancan saw it, she liked it so much that she immediately decided on it.
This yard is the property under the name of the late Mr. Liu. The house does not occupy a large area, but the scenery is really good.After his death, he left it to his son. After his son was released, he still chose to sell it for some reason. It happened that Guang Lu, who had been paying attention, bought it first.
The small house has five courtyards, and there is a spring in the garden, which has been converted into a water pavilion and planted with flowers and green trees, which is the best place to escape the heat in summer.After coming out of the main courtyard, the plum trees planted along the corner occupy the corner of the garden. In the small four-corner gazebo, it is also good to have tea and meet friends after snow falls in winter.
In addition, there are golden osmanthus and peach trees, and there are scenery to enjoy in all seasons.
Lin Daiyu's favorite is the two ginkgo trees standing in front of the main courtyard. It is now in midsummer, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant. One can imagine what kind of grand occasion it will be in autumn.
Perhaps because of knowing too much about Cancan, the whole courtyard gives people a fresh and unique feeling, just like the Zhuangzi who gave it to Cancan, and it is quite popular with Cancan.And also because the house was successfully bought, Cancan specially asked someone to send a lot of things to Guanglu, among them, there were two small bottles of Lingquan that he had been thinking about.
After buying the house, Madam Gao presided over the overall situation, including sweeping and buying people, and the things that Guanglu had sent in a steady stream were also chosen to be sent to the new house.People in Jia's mansion naturally knew about the coming and going.
Since Lin Daiyu could feel the unkindness from Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, who was in the center of Jia's mansion, naturally understood this earlier.It's rare that she didn't change her mind because of her aunt's attitude. Wang Xifeng still took good care of her cousin Lin Daiyu, especially after she got closer to Prince Yu's mansion.
Her husband, Jia Lian, was a libertine, and she carried out the tricks of a dude to the end. She could only find a little sense of superiority as a daughter-in-law in the matter of the housekeeper.
The Baoxia where Lin Daiyu lived was not far from her yard, and she could occasionally notice the movement here. Wang Xifeng highly respected Nanny Gao and the others for their behavior.And having a daughter, she naturally wants to think more about her daughter.She wanted her eldest sister to get closer to Lin Daiyu, so that she could get a good job.
Even if you don't rely on Prince Yu's Mansion, there are many places worth digging just relying on Gao Nanny's ability to be the first person.I didn't see that Tanchun often brought Yingchun and Xichun here, in the pretense of looking for Lin Daiyu to enhance their relationship and take care of sisters who came from afar, but in fact, it was just eating, drinking and studying.
Especially after Mother Gao began to instruct Lin Daiyu to manage the property under Cancan's name.
After Tangquan Yuanzi, Cancan began to buy properties in the capital with the help of Guanglu. Yaxing recommended a reliable agent to buy shops, houses, and yards. There are more and more industries, and more and more things involved. more complicated.
Just when Lin Daiyu and Cancan were addicted to shopping and decorating the house, a letter from Yangzhou broke the calm.
It has been more than three months since Lin Daiyu came to the capital, and many things have happened in these three months. She and Lin Ruhai have always maintained correspondence. It is not possible to have letters every day, but there are always one or two letters every ten days.After all, father and daughter depend on each other for life, and they are the only remaining reliance on each other. Frequent correspondence can always make people feel more at ease.
Every time she just said some daily gossip, even most of them were repetitive, but Lin Daiyu could always find a warm feeling from such words.Apart from Cancan, every time Lin Ruhai wrote a letter, she would give her strength and give her the courage to face everything.
But this time was different, the letter was not written by Lin Ruhai, but by his long-term follower, who is now the chief steward of the Lin Mansion.In addition to explaining some recent events, there is another incident that caught Lin Daiyu off guard: Lin Ruhai was injured by the rioting salt people when she was out on patrol, and now she is lying in bed and has not yet woken up from a coma.
Even though Lin Daiyu had already asked Cancan for some spiritual springs and elixir to send back to Lin Ruhai, she didn't dare to tell the truth, so she could only ask for it in the temple in the capital under the pretense that it was for safety.Guessing that Lin Ruhai didn't really believe in this, it might even be useless.
Lin Daiyu, who was overwhelmed by the news of her father's illness, was in a panic, her voice was trembling, with timidity that she had never seen before. "Cancan, what should I do? Can you find news about your father? Or send the medicine to him?" She, who had nowhere to go, began to rush to the doctor in an emergency, asking whimsical questions.
Although he really wants to help, Cancan still has self-knowledge. He shook his head and told the truth: "I'm just a little ginseng essence. This small world still rejects me, and I can't perform many spells. And Yangzhou The distance is too far, I really can't."
Cancan, who was a little distressed because she couldn't help, recalled Guanglu who was in the south of the Yangtze River, and wondered if he could help. "I'll write a letter to Lulu, mother, let someone pack up and go back to the old lady, let's go back tomorrow!"
Now that they knew that Lin Ruhai was ill, of course they had to go home and take good care of him.If he walked faster, he might be able to save him before he deteriorated.
Lin Daiyu has also recovered from the initial panic, but now she is more stable, "Okay, Mother Wang, you take Xueyan and Xiaotong to pack things, and Xiaoxin goes to the dental shop to rent a boat. There are guards around Cancan, but it shouldn't be enough, you can ask the palace for a few more people..." She arranged everything in an orderly manner, got up by herself, and prepared to take Cancan to say goodbye to the old lady.
It happened so suddenly that she no longer cared about whether she was being rude.
It took only a short time to go from Baoxia to the old lady's yard, and Lin Daiyu had already organized the words in her heart and was just waiting to speak.When she entered the room and saw the kind and tolerant eyes of the old lady sitting at the top, she seemed to be unable to hold back her tears.
As she spoke, she shed tears, "...Grandmother, Yu'er still wants to go, no matter what, time can't be delayed." She also told the old lady about her arrangement, but she got her approval.
The old lady stretched out her hand and touched Lin Daiyu's head, "Of course we can't delay this matter, how about it, you definitely can't go out with Cancan, especially if you didn't prepare in advance. So, let me call you Lian's second brother will accompany you, and there is nothing wrong with him."
It seems that the palace intends to reward the granddaughter. At this moment, King Yu is "killing a lot" in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people from the Zhen family have sent several letters. She has to ask her grandson to take a look.
As a person who has lived in a world where imperial power is supreme for so many years, she has long been able to see the essence through phenomena.If the emperor really wants to use Jiangnan as a knife, then the granddaughter can take this opportunity to show her talents and gain status in the harem. If she gives birth to a prince, the Jia family might become...
This can be regarded as an opportunity, and the excuses are perfect.
It's just that Lin Daiyu couldn't help feeling warm when she heard this. Seeing that the old lady insisted, she didn't refuse any more, "Then I'll trouble Brother Lian, and there are also guards from Prince Yu's mansion with me, so it's safe and sound." The effect is probably to make them feel at ease.
After all, she and Cancan, one is a girl and the other is a child, even if there are experts around, everyone will still be worried.Lin Daiyu knew that her insistence on going to Yangzhou was enough for everyone to worry about, so there was no need to make unnecessary arguments because of this matter, just accept the concerns of the elders properly.
What she should consider is how to repay these cares instead of entangled in other things.
Lin Daiyu, who had been preoccupied by the news of Lin Ruhai's injury and coma, naturally failed to notice the abnormality of the old lady.And Cancan on the side noticed this abnormality, but didn't intend to speak.In his opinion, this kind of small calculation is irrelevant, so naturally he will not take it to heart.
If staying in Jia Mansion is not happy anymore, he just needs to leave.Before leaving, naturally I will not forget to take Lin Daiyu with me!
Before everyone recovered, the people around them had already packed up their things and arranged everything properly for departure.Nanny Gao also escaped from the new house, went straight to Jia's mansion, caught up with the carriage, and set off together.It's only been more than three months with Cancan, but her body and bones are much better than before, so it's not a big problem to follow her to the south of the Yangtze River.
Jia Lian is a foreigner, not young, and usually rarely appears in Lin Daiyu's range of activities.So apart from a few guards, Lin Daiyu and Cancan took half of the boat with the people around them, and they rarely met.
Because of Lin Ruhai's matter, even if it was a rare trip, everyone suppressed the mood of traveling, and at least they didn't show it in front of Lin Daiyu.However, under Cancan's enlightenment and the good news that Guanglu's carrier pigeon came back, Lin Daiyu felt a lot more relaxed. After all, her change made the originally dull atmosphere a lot better.
Lin Ruhai has woken up. Although his injury has not recovered, his life is not in danger.Coupled with the help of the imperial doctor brought by Guanglu, there is nothing to worry about for the time being.As for the follow-up arrangements, Guanglu also gave many plans, and Lin Daiyu was more inclined to let Lin Ruhai go to the capital.
She finally understood that not everyone can swim in the muddy water in the south of the Yangtze River.If you don't have considerable strength, you will easily become cannon fodder if you are not careful, or you will be affected like Lin Ruhai.
However, these were only mentioned when she chatted with Cancan in private, as for the specifics, she would have to wait until she met Lin Ruhai to know.
Without the biggest annoyance and worry, Lin Daiyu gradually changed her attitude towards life on the ship even though she was ready to return home.On the way to Beijing, she once stayed with Cancan for half a day, and now that she was back on the boat again, she wanted Cancan to take her to appreciate it.
After all, Cancan did learn a lot of tricks from Guanglu last time, not to mention Lin Daiyu, even Gao Nanny was eye-opening.Under his leadership, everyone opened up to play, fishing and catching shrimps, grilling and cooking, there were endless tricks waiting for each day, and the boat gradually approached Jiangnan.
From the voices he heard every day, Jia Lian also noticed the change. He sent people to ask several times, and after getting the good news, he felt relieved a lot.
Before departure, Lin Daiyu wrote a letter to Lin Butler. Now that she arrived at the pier, she naturally waited for the Lin family.Butler Lin came to pick him up in person, thanked Jia Lian, and led them straight to Lin's house.
Xunyan Yushi's mansion is not far behind the government office. This area is full of officials of all sizes in Yangzhou, and every small movement will attract everyone's prying eyes, not to mention Lin Ruhai recovering from a serious illness.Lin Daiyu took Cancan in the carriage, which to a large extent prevented anyone who cared about her from inquiring.
Jia Lian looked around, full of longing for the Jiangnan water town.I heard that the famous prostitutes in Yangzhou City are unmatched in the capital, so he needs to find a chance to get a good look at them.
Lin Daiyu took Jia Lian to greet Lin Ruhai, and the moment she saw him, she couldn't stop crying.Lin Ruhai was half leaning against the head of the bed, her face was pale, her black hair was half white, she was at least ten years older than before she left.Caught off guard by this scene, her heart almost broke.
This is her most beloved father, the lush tree above her head, the person who sheltered her from the wind and rain, but when she left, he was destroyed like this...
She kept trying to hold back not to make a sound, and finally waited for Jia Lian to leave before she dragged Cancan to sit beside the bed. "Daddy..." Lin Daiyu couldn't even utter a complete sentence, holding Lin Ruhai's hand and caressing it carefully.
Lin Ruhai sighed. He didn't want to alarm his daughter, but after he passed out, Lin Butler took it upon himself to write a letter to the capital.And Lin Daiyu's return behavior was also unexpected to him. If it wasn't for his daughter already in front of his eyes, he really couldn't believe it.
Letters were exchanged frequently, so he was naturally very clear about what happened around Lin Daiyu. Since his daughter couldn't recover for a while, Lin Ruhai put his mind on Cancan who was beside him.
"Are you Cancan?" He looked at the little boy in front of him, and felt that there was still some discrepancy with the omnipotent child Lin Daiyu described, and he was obviously still a baby. "It's really hard for you to accompany Yu'er for this trip. Since you have come to Yangzhou, I will ask Yu'er to take you out for a stroll in two days."
He had heard Lin Daiyu complaining that Cancan was too fun more than once. Lin Ruhai, who was a little unbelievable at first, completely believed it after Cancan's eyes lit up after listening to what he said.He stretched out his other hand somewhat better, and touched Cancan's head, he was still a child.
However, his good intentions didn't seem to reach the target. Cancan grabbed Lin Ruhai's hand and said in a calm tone: "It seems to be poisoned, terminally ill, and all internal organs are damaged. In addition, the original foundation is very poor, even if After taking the medicine, I guess I won’t be able to live for many years.” The body was so dilapidated that it was impossible to do anything about it.
But Lin Daiyu, who was crying sadly and couldn't stop the car, calmed down after hearing what he said.She looked at Lin Ruhai in disbelief, "Daddy!" This news obviously made her a little bit unacceptable.
Even though she was mentally prepared before and had a deep talk with Lin Ruhai when she was sent away, listening to what Cancan said made her fall into panic.Perhaps Lin Ruhai knew that his body would not last long, so he sent himself to Jia's mansion after his mother died.
Lin Ruhai was not flustered after being told so clearly, he patted Lin Daiyu's hand comfortingly, "Yu'er needn't be alarmed, as my father's own body, I am still clear about it. There should be no troubles in the past three to five years, and now Yu'er Wang ordered to rectify Jiangnan, and the salt affairs will be resolved."
After it was resolved, he wanted to ask the emperor to ask for a letter to tell his old age, to find a good family for his daughter to marry, and to have someone to rely on for the rest of his life, so he would have nothing to fear.
"You..." Lin Daiyu, who was choked by Lin Ruhai's words, had no way to persuade him, "Daddy, you should not get involved in this matter. Cancan has a very good relationship with King Yu, so ask him to help you talk to King Yu. Mention, it would be nice to change your location."
Lin Daiyu explained her thoughts in detail, "You don't need to be in an important position, and you are not a person who loves power. Even if you are a foreigner, you can be at ease. Don't work hard, maybe you can live to a very old age." Well." She looked at Lin Ruhai pitifully and said, "Don't you want to accompany Yu'er, watch her get married and have children, and teach your grandchildren for her?!"
There was no other way to do this. She noticed that Lin Ruhai seemed to have a death wish, so she could only hang him with this matter, so that he could have certain expectations for his future life.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let someone take you down to resettle." Lin Ruhai saw that her words were getting more and more outrageous, so she had to interrupt Lin Daiyu, and said: "There are guests at home, you have to treat them well, Can Can Since Chan is on good terms with you, I won’t make another arrangement for the yard, I’ll take him there to settle it, and let’s have dinner together later.”
After all, he sent Steward Lin to take them down, moved around on his own, lay down and closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to talk anymore, making Lin Daiyu speechless.
She took Cancan's hand and got up, stopped the butler Lin who was about to send her off, told him to take good care of Lin Ruhai, and took the people back to her yard.While walking, thinking about what my father said just now, what Cancan said, my mind is a little confused, and I can't figure out the main point
Nanny Gao and the others have settled the things they brought with the help of the servants. In addition to putting away the things, they also need to tidy up their own residence a little bit.
After returning to the Lin family, Nanny Wang became the one in charge, familiarly introducing the situation of the Lin family to them, explaining the key figures, the relationship between all parties, and the locations of various places, etc.It is estimated that they will have to stay in Yangzhou for a while, so it is still necessary to get familiar with the environment and people.
After Lin Daiyu and Cancan came back, everything was packed, and according to the habit of putting away the buildings in the capital, they put all the things they used on weekdays in their original places, and Cancan felt a little happy after seeing them.Coming to an unfamiliar environment, having familiar people, coupled with this familiar habit of placing them, gave him a sense of security.
He just felt a little tired, and was about to wash up and sleep when Lin Daiyu caught him.After holding Cancan's hand and sending everyone away, she hesitated for a long time before finally asking: "Cancan, can you make my father live longer?!"
She is not surprised, after all, Cancan has a special status, it seems that as long as she meets him and spends more time with him, she will have a very good impression of him.
Due to frequent outings, Lin Daiyu and Cancan did not feel bored, but found a lot of fun.But because of this, she has been able to confirm that Madam Wang's jealousy and peeping can even be said to be disgusting.Of course, when they had further contact with Jia Baoyu, the performance was more obvious.
There are many rumors in the capital, and Lin Daiyu frequently contacts Yu Wangfu, even if it is because of Cancan, even if Yu Wang is not in the capital, there are still many rumors about the relationship between her and Yu Wang.Perhaps because of these rumors, the old lady seemed to have given up on the idea of making her and Jia Baoyu a pair.
Therefore, Lin Daiyu gradually distanced herself from Jia Baoyu, and even because she refused repeatedly, the other party seemed to understand something, and stopped probing and approaching Jia Baoyu intentionally or unintentionally.On the contrary, Shi Xiangyun, who took over Jia's mansion after Mrs. Wang's instruction, has been living there, and seems to have no intention of going home.

Mrs. Wang mentioned that her widowed sister was about to bring her children to live in the capital.The old lady naturally responded positively, and Wang Xifeng also cleverly accepted the task of cleaning up the yard to entertain the aunt who came from afar.
The Jia family was very active, Lin Daiyu, a bystander, didn't feel much, her thoughts were all on a new house that Cancan bought.

Before departure, Lin Daiyu wrote a letter to Lin Butler. Now that she arrived at the pier, she naturally waited for the Lin family.Butler Lin came to pick him up in person, thanked Jia Lian, and led them straight to Lin's house.
Xunyan Yushi's mansion is not far behind the government office. This area is full of officials of all sizes in Yangzhou, and every small movement will attract everyone's prying eyes, not to mention Lin Ruhai recovering from a serious illness.Lin Daiyu took Cancan in the carriage, which to a large extent prevented anyone who cared about her from inquiring.
Jia Lian looked around, full of longing for the Jiangnan water town.I heard that the famous prostitutes in Yangzhou City are unmatched in the capital, so he needs to find a chance to get a good look at them.
Lin Daiyu took Jia Lian to greet Lin Ruhai, and the moment she saw him, she couldn't stop crying.Lin Ruhai was half leaning against the head of the bed, her face was pale, her black hair was half white, she was at least ten years older than before she left.Caught off guard by this scene, her heart almost broke.
This is her most beloved father, the lush tree above her head, the person who sheltered her from the wind and rain, but when she left, he was destroyed like this...
She kept trying to hold back not to make a sound, and finally waited for Jia Lian to leave before she dragged Cancan to sit beside the bed. "Daddy..." Lin Daiyu couldn't even utter a complete sentence, holding Lin Ruhai's hand and caressing it carefully.
Lin Ruhai sighed. He didn't want to alarm his daughter, but after he passed out, Lin Butler took it upon himself to write a letter to the capital.And Lin Daiyu's return behavior was also unexpected to him. If it wasn't for his daughter already in front of his eyes, he really couldn't believe it.
Letters were exchanged frequently, so he was naturally very clear about what happened around Lin Daiyu. Since his daughter couldn't recover for a while, Lin Ruhai put his mind on Cancan who was beside him.
"Are you Cancan?" He looked at the little boy in front of him, and felt that there was still some discrepancy with the omnipotent child Lin Daiyu described, and he was obviously still a baby. "It's really hard for you to accompany Yu'er for this trip. Since you have come to Yangzhou, I will ask Yu'er to take you out for a stroll in two days."
He had heard Lin Daiyu complaining that Cancan was too fun more than once. Lin Ruhai, who was a little unbelievable at first, completely believed it after Cancan's eyes lit up after listening to what he said.He stretched out his other hand somewhat better, and touched Cancan's head, he was still a child.
However, his good intentions didn't seem to reach the target. Cancan grabbed Lin Ruhai's hand and said in a calm tone: "It seems to be poisoned, terminally ill, and all internal organs are damaged. In addition, the original foundation is very poor, even if After taking the medicine, I guess I won’t be able to live for many years.” The body was so dilapidated that it was impossible to do anything about it.
But Lin Daiyu, who was crying sadly and couldn't stop the car, calmed down after hearing what he said.She looked at Lin Ruhai in disbelief, "Daddy!" This news obviously made her a little bit unacceptable.
Even though she was mentally prepared before and had a deep talk with Lin Ruhai when she was sent away, listening to what Cancan said made her fall into panic.Perhaps Lin Ruhai knew that his body would not last long, so he sent himself to Jia's mansion after his mother died.
Lin Ruhai was not flustered after being told so clearly, he patted Lin Daiyu's hand comfortingly, "Yu'er needn't be alarmed, as my father's own body, I am still clear about it. There should be no troubles in the past three to five years, and now Yu'er Wang ordered to rectify Jiangnan, and the salt affairs will be resolved."
After it was resolved, he wanted to ask the emperor to ask for a letter to tell his old age, to find a good family for his daughter to marry, and to have someone to rely on for the rest of his life, so he would have nothing to fear.
"You..." Lin Daiyu, who was choked by Lin Ruhai's words, had no way to persuade him, "Daddy, you should not get involved in this matter. Cancan has a very good relationship with King Yu, so ask him to help you talk to King Yu. Mention, it would be nice to change your location."
Lin Daiyu explained her thoughts in detail, "You don't need to be in an important position, and you are not a person who loves power. Even if you are a foreigner, you can be at ease. Don't work hard, maybe you can live to a very old age." Well." She looked at Lin Ruhai pitifully and said, "Don't you want to accompany Yu'er, watch her get married and have children, and teach your grandchildren for her?!"
There was no other way to do this. She noticed that Lin Ruhai seemed to have a death wish, so she could only hang him with this matter, so that he could have certain expectations for his future life.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let someone take you down to resettle." Lin Ruhai saw that her words were getting more and more outrageous, so she had to interrupt Lin Daiyu, and said: "There are guests at home, you have to treat them well, Can Can Since Chan is on good terms with you, I won’t make another arrangement for the yard, I’ll take him there to settle it, and let’s have dinner together later.”
After all, he sent Steward Lin to take them down, moved around on his own, lay down and closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to talk anymore, making Lin Daiyu speechless.
She took Cancan's hand and got up, stopped the butler Lin who was about to send her off, told him to take good care of Lin Ruhai, and took the people back to her yard.While walking, thinking about what my father said just now, what Cancan said, my mind is a little confused, and I can't figure out the main point
Nanny Gao and the others have settled the things they brought with the help of the servants. In addition to putting away the things, they also need to tidy up their own residence a little bit.
After returning to the Lin family, Nanny Wang became the one in charge, familiarly introducing the situation of the Lin family to them, explaining the key figures, the relationship between all parties, and the locations of various places, etc.It is estimated that they will have to stay in Yangzhou for a while, so it is still necessary to get familiar with the environment and people.
After Lin Daiyu and Cancan came back, everything was packed, and according to the habit of putting away the buildings in the capital, they put all the things they used on weekdays in their original places, and Cancan felt a little happy after seeing them.Coming to an unfamiliar environment, having familiar people, coupled with this familiar habit of placing them, gave him a sense of security.
He just felt a little tired, and was about to wash up and sleep when Lin Daiyu caught him.After holding Cancan's hand and sending everyone away, she hesitated for a long time before finally asking: "Cancan, can you make my father live longer?!"
