Chapter 71 Xie Huai'an vs. Chu Lizhong

Xie's mother passed away peacefully.

Left quietly at bedtime.

The most painful beginning was for Xie Huai'an, who lost his only mother and had no relatives in this world.

He is left with only himself and his children.

The three children cried with tears streaming down their cheeks, because this was their grandmother who had loved them and grown up with them.

Everyone knows that Xie's mother is a good person.

The whole of Kyoto sighed when they heard the news of her death. Such a good person left in the end because of illness.

It can be said that disease only targets the poor.

So, Xie Huai'an held a grand funeral for Xie's mother.

The three children don't know what death means yet.

All I know is that grandma fell asleep and couldn't wake up.

Chuli told them that her grandmother could perform magic and could turn into the wind, a tree, and a flower to always be by their side.

Whenever the breeze blows, that is your grandma caressing you.

Xie Huai'an knelt in the mourning hall all night.

Hatsuri also stayed with him the entire night.

She knew that Xie Huai'an was the saddest.

A grown man just can't shed tears easily, which is the most direct way to express his longing for his mother.

Hatsuri was thirsty and prepared to pour herself a cup of tea.

When I came back, I saw Xie Huai'an crying for a long time with his head lowered.

Hatsuri knew that he was waiting to cry after she left.

So she stood outside the door, also in tears, but did not go in to disturb them.

She looked up at the sky and prayed to God.

She hopes that her mother Xie can have a better life in heaven and that she can be her daughter-in-law in the next life.

Take care of her forever.

At this point, Hatsuri wiped away her tears.

Goodbye, mother.

Winter has arrived again.

When the winter solstice comes, it is the day for family reunion.

The entire Xie Mansion is under the influence of Chu Li's management. In the past, it was Mistress Xie who took care of the household. Now Chu Li has also learned to be like the Mistress and is gradually becoming mature.

She had lost her former childishness, leaving only the air of a mistress of the house. From the former Mrs. Xie, she had become the current Mistress Xie.

I also learned to do housework little by little.

Xie Huai'an looked at her current appearance and realized that she had undergone tremendous changes in just one year. She was still a little girl when he first met her.

Although she has become much more mature now, she smiles less often. She used to wear her hair down, but now she wears it up.

The children have also grown up and become more sensible.

Although Chuli knows everything, the children still have a hard time with cooking.

"Wow, father, the food mother cooked is so terrible! I kind of miss the food in the academy."

"Ah, me too. I originally thought that my mother's cooking had at least improved over the past few years, but it turns out to be getting worse and worse. I remember that the dishes made by the master chef in the academy were quite unpalatable. Now, in comparison, the master chef's dishes are still better."

"Father, when can you take us out to eat something delicious?"

The three children all complained that Chuli's cooking was terrible.

As soon as Hatsuri brought out the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, she heard their protests against her.

She pretended to be angry: "No, I worked so hard to make food for you, and you still dislike it. If you don't like it, don't eat it, or make it yourself!"

The three of them immediately pouted and looked at Xie Huai'an as if asking for help.

"Father, you see, you can't talk about mother at all. She won't let you talk."

"Dad, it's scrambled eggs with tomatoes again. We've been eating it for four days! I really can't eat it anymore. If I eat it again, I'll turn into a tomato."

"Father, help!"

Xie Huai'an of course stood on Chu Li's side, his face immediately changed: "Do you want to eat or not? Your mother is busy all day and still has to cook for you. It's fine if you don't appreciate it! And you even say it doesn't taste good. Do you want to be beaten?" The three of them immediately shut up and started eating obediently.

Chu Li looked at their obedient expressions and was a little speechless. "No, why are you so afraid of your father? You think he is scary because he holds a knife every day, right? Then why don't you feel scared when I hold a kitchen knife every day? You three bastards, if I don't set some rules, you don't take me seriously?"

The three children ate even faster, finishing their meal in a few mouthfuls. They said in unison: "Mom, Dad, we're done. Let's go study."

After they left, Xie Huai'an confirmed again and again.

Then he hugged Hatsuri and sat her on him, saying affectionately: "I discovered the disadvantages of having a child."

Hatsuri put her arm around his neck, nuzzled his face, and asked, "What's the harm?"

Xie Huai'an's hands are not honest.

"It affects me to do bad things."

Afterwards, he didn't even eat, but carried Chuli to his room, his steps were fast and urgent.

Chuli asked: "Are you not going to eat?"

Xie Huai'an put her on the bed and leaned over: "Eating you is enough."

Then the sound of panting and breathing could be heard in the room.

Throughout the four seasons of the year, I don’t know how many springs, summers, autumns and winters have passed.

Xie Huai'an has also reached old age.

Although Hatsuri's appearance remains the same, her face shows signs of aging.

They watched as their eldest son, Juzhong, reached adulthood, following in his father's footsteps, and their daughter somehow perfectly inherited her mother's fine traditions, becoming a household name in Kyoto as a painter.

And the youngest son, who knows where he got the genes from, actually became a gourmet.

Xie Huai'an's subordinates were all shocked.

This lady's painting skills are simply disgraceful.

The cooking skills also need to be improved.

How come this child has perfected all these shortcomings one by one?
Because Xie Huai'an had suffered too many injuries in his early years, he walked unsteadily in his later years.

The imperial physician said that he would not live long.

He didn't want to die before Hatsuri, so he kept relying on drugs to survive. Although it was painful, at least he was hanging on to his life.

The couple sat in the yard, watching their children get married and have children. Their second daughter also got married. The entire Xie Mansion became more crowded and lively.

One day.

Xie Huai'an was lying on a chair in the yard, looking at the bright sunlight which was a little dazzling. Chu Li had just made a bowl of medicine for him.

She also lay next to him, and the two held hands.

Suddenly, Xie Huai'an felt that he could hardly breathe. He endured it and said a few words to Chu Li: "If I leave first, don't be sad."

"But I'm worried about what you'll do without me. I don't want you to be sad alone."

"Hatsuri, I want to take a rest. You should also take a nap. The sun is so nice today."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and passed away peacefully.

Hatsuri hadn't felt it yet.

Suddenly the system appeared at this moment, and she knew that her time in the plane had come.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt the person next to her breathing weakly, and she understood instantly.

Then she closed her eyes too.

Xie Huai'an, here I come.

When the children returned home, they found the two holding hands and leaving, and they burst into tears.

The most beautiful love is to leave together.

【The full text of this plane is finished】

The plane is over. Actually, I like this plane very much. The plot is very stable and the rhythm is good. I have completed another short story.

It’s as if my male and female protagonists really existed.

The next dimension is about to open.

Extra update tomorrow!

I’m considering whether to write about the beast world or modern stories for the next dimension!

Is there any dimension you want to see? I'll write it!
I decided to open the beast world in the next plane!
