those days of fishing

Unknowingly, it has been two years since they got married. Moer doesn't know if Mo's family got that piece of land because of the marriage relationship (he habitually doesn't care about things he doesn't care about), but This marriage between her and Ruiz, which is not favored by the business world, is going smoothly. In private, the two even think that this marriage is going well, and their relationship is on the rise.Although Ruiz has never confessed his love in front of Merle, and even though Merle has never used his original "talent" with Ruiz, living together in such a plain and innocent way is something special. Interesting.

On this day, Merle, who was preparing for graduation, received a communication from Ruiz. Speaking of which, in the past two years, the number of times Ruiz took the initiative to contact Merer is very small, and every time there is a big event, the communication will be sent. Come on, and this time is no exception.

After taking a deep breath, Merle clicked on the communication, and saw Ryze looking haggard on the opposite side of the video.

Merle: "...what happened?" Try to be careful when speaking.

Ruiz: "Grandpa passed away, I will pick you up later."

Merle: "...Okay, take care of yourself."

Ruiz: "Yeah."

After hanging up the communication, Merle didn't have the heart to continue working on the final project that was actually doable or not, so he got up and tidied himself up, waiting for Ruiz to come over.

The grandfather Ruiz mentioned is the current owner of the Rui family, named Rui Mingtao, who is only 98 years old this year, so he is short-lived in Alpha.How should I put it, in the past two years, Merle has only seen this grandfather about five times, three times during the holidays, and twice during daily visits. Every time the grandfather is surrounded by many relatives, her granddaughter-in-law (? ) really come into contact with each other face to face, only once.

That time was a very ordinary weekend, and it was rare that there were no other outsiders around Grandpa. Merle just followed Ruiz and came to Grandpa's bedside.

Although he is a person who has been lying in a hospital bed for a long time, when the other party speaks, there is still an aura from a superior person.

Grandpa: "Is that her?"

Ryze: "Yes."

Merle, who was afraid to speak at the side, always felt that this conversation was very familiar.

Grandpa looked Merle up and down, and Merle subconsciously stood up straight.After the grandfather said "um", there was no more to say, and Merle was also invited out of the room, leaving the grandpa and grandson in the room.

For such a person who didn't have much contact with him, Merle didn't really feel the news of his death suddenly, but one thing can be foreseen, Rui's family is about to change.

As promised, Ryze arrived at the school an hour later in a car driven by the old housekeeper.It is really difficult to find someone else to drive in this special period. This old butler used to serve grandpa. Since grandpa was hospitalized, he has been responsible for taking care of Ruiz. He has a very high status among the servants. Even Uncle and the others are also the ones who can't be manipulated.

Since Merle is now a prospective graduate and has no classes to attend, no one will care if he suddenly disappears from school. Of course, before leaving, Merle will still send a message to Tang Jie.Tang's words have also been taught by Merle in the past few years, and now he is doing the final project honestly in school.

Merle: "Haven't you slept for a few days?" After seeing Ryze, Merle leaned closer, seeing the obvious dark circles under the eyes of the other party, and Merle asked worriedly.

Ryze: "Two..."

The old housekeeper who was sitting in the driver's seat interjected: "Mr. Mo, Mr. Rui hasn't slept for three days."

Merle: "..."

Ryze turned his head away.

Merle: "Ah, really..." He reached out and grabbed Ryze's shoulder, and then pulled her down so that the other's head hit his thigh.

Merle: "Go to sleep, it will take a while to go back!"

Ryze: "...um."

Caressing the top of the other's hair, just like that, Ruiz quickly fell asleep, and the time to go back to Rui's house today was longer than before, probably the old housekeeper deliberately took a detour.

It's only been a few days since we've seen each other, and Rui's house seems to have changed. It was a quiet high-end residence, but now it's noisy everywhere, and a bunch of relatives who have seen and never seen are entrenched here.This was probably the most crowded time. It was obviously a funeral, but Merle saw some people talking and laughing there, and couldn't help frowning.

Ruiz: "Those people can't get any money when they come, so they come here purely for watching a show."

Merle: "Watching a play?"

Ruiz: "Well, let's see how the members of the family grab the head of the family."

Merle: "Then you will be okay?" Merle, who is not the owner of the house, doesn't care. The most important thing is that Ryze is fine.

Ruiz smiled slightly, and Ruiz said, "Oh, what can be the matter." He touched Moer's head to signal that she didn't have to worry, "And these people are out of the question, the position has long been with Rui Dong." Rui Dong It was Ryze's uncle, and Merle seemed to have never heard Ryze call him his uncle.The uncle's words are not involved in the family's business, so they are not a threat at all to those who want a position.

Merle: "I thought grandpa would..." I thought grandpa would pass the position to Ryze, because in Merle's opinion, grandpa valued Ryze more than his uncle, and he would only be with Ryze every time. Ryze will know in a long talk alone.

Ryze: "Grandpa...he left without saying anything..." It's hard to describe Ryze's expression now, maybe it can be called sad?Merle didn't say anything, and silently held Ruiz's hand.

Ryze: "Want to hear a story? When I was a kid." He shook his hand back.

Merle: "Yeah."

There was still half a day before the funeral began, more than enough time to tell a story.

When Ruiz came to Rui's house, he was only about three years old, and he really came back to transfer the family property as the servants said.Although the nominal 20% of the shares belonged to Ruiz, but because he was a minor, he was handed over to his uncle to take care of him.At that time, grandpa was already sick because of his second son, but he was still in good health at that time, and he was still living at home. He only needed a doctor to visit him regularly. It was also at that time that grandpa took Rui hereby's care work.No one knows what the other party is thinking in his heart, maybe it is because he misses his second son?Or maybe training successors?But no matter what, little Ruiz was brought by his grandfather.

Although the real care work was handed over to the servants around him, especially the old housekeeper, Grandpa paid close attention to Ruiz's education.Every time when the academic results are released, Ruiz is like a soldier reporting his achievements like an officer. Grandpa is sitting in the office, and Ruiz stands straight not far away, reporting the results one by one.Ruiz has never failed a test, so there is no such thing as being scolded, but there is no such thing as being praised. The relationship between the two grandparents was different from the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren in other families from the very beginning, or That is to say, grandpa has the same attitude towards the juniors in the family, but Ruiz is the only one who can report the grades in front of grandpa, and the others just hand in their transcripts to grandpa for review.

Although she grew up in such an environment with little family affection, but under the invisible protection of the other party, Ruiz did not encounter any bad house fights, and no one would bully her in school, of course Those who had signs were dealt with by Ryze himself. All in all, Ryze grew up smoothly.

The position of president was awarded when Ruiz was 21 years old. Because of the aggravation of his condition that year, his grandfather was finally sent to a special hospital.There were also a lot of people who came that day, obviously they were not working at the headquarters, or even doing other jobs, but their purpose of coming here was to question Ruiz's decision to be awarded the position of president.Because in their view, Ruiz took this position because there was no one in the family, so Ruiz picked up such a big deal. If they worked hard, they might be able to take the position of president.

At that time, the grandfather obviously would gasp for breath after talking for a long time, but at that time he still yelled out the loudest sentence in so many years: "She is the one I recognize!!" Perhaps it was also from this time that Rui Only then did he truly admit that this old man is his grandfather.

Ruiz: "I respect him very much. Although it is a bit far-fetched to say that he is a relative, he is well-deserved to be called a teacher. My current attitude in dealing with things may be just learning from him."

Hearing this, Merle reflected on himself a little.When Ryze was forced to marry by his uncle (although it seems that this is not the case now), Merle was once angry at why his grandfather didn't speak up, but now it seems that grandpa may believe in Ryze and herself We can sort things out.

The real estate leader in City S is not called for nothing, and even the funeral has to be held as beautifully as possible.It was around twelve o'clock at noon, and the sacrificial team came to Rui's house singing and dancing all the way. Grandpa's body had been sent back to Rui's mansion a day earlier, and it was placed in the hall on the first floor. Before leaving, Merle went to take a look, and the body was well dressed.

I thought there would be a big difference between today's funerals and "ancient times", but in reality they are still similar, so things like culture always have a long history in some very subtle places.

Merle accompanied Ruiz all the way, watching his grandfather cremated and his coffin put into the coffin with her.The coffin was placed on top of a local mountain. In a place like City S where every inch of land is expensive, it is incredible to be able to cover a mountain. Although I don't know if there is anything in the other coffins, it is said that the Rui family's All these generations were buried on this mountain.

The relatives lined up around the top of the hill, and the family members stood in the innermost circle, watching the grandpa's coffin being buried bit by bit.

Ruiz: "...he is my last relative." Although the tone of the statement of the facts was small, Merle still heard it.

Merle: "You still have me!" He thought the other party was sad, and felt sorry for her.

Ruiz was stunned for a moment, and then smiled back. In fact, he didn't feel too sad about what happened today, but since pretending to be pitiful can win Merle's sympathy, why not in the future...?
