Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1281: I Won’t Die Until That Day!

Every time this happened, Lin Qiushu knew she was thinking about something.

As for what she was thinking about, the elderly woman never spoke up, as if immersed in her own world, reluctant to extract herself from it.

”Grandma! You’ve been sitting all day. Let me take you out for a walk! If you don’t get some activity, I’m worried you won’t feel like eating again at dinner,” Lin Qiushu said, looking at her with concern.

”I’m old, and I don’t eat much anyway. Active or not, it’s all the same!” the elderly woman responded.

”Grandma! Will you please not make me worry about you? If you keep this up, I’ll have to take drastic measures,” Lin Qiushu crouched beside her, gently tapping her leg as she spoke, ”The doctor said it himself, life lies in movement! Look at all the issues you have, yet you still don’t want to exercise; it’s really troubling!”

The elderly woman gazed at Lin Qiushu with a loving look, lifting her hand that seemed as dry as dead pine to gently stroke her head, ”Why? Are you afraid I won’t live to a ripe old age? Don’t worry! I won’t die before that day comes!”

”Stop talking about dying or living! It makes me uneasy just to hear it!” Lin Qiushu couldn’t help but pout.

”You! Every time I bring this up, you get all petulant on me! Everyone dies, it’s just a matter of sooner or later! I’m an old woman, and I’m not scared, so what are you afraid of?” the elderly woman said with a smile.

”If you keep talking like this, I’m really going to get upset!” Lin Qiushu’s voice quivered, her eyes dampening slightly with tears, ”You are my dearest grandma, what will I do if you leave? Besides, I haven’t even found you a grandson-in-law yet! You can’t keep bringing up that word!”

The elderly woman chuckled, patting Lin Qiushu’s shoulder, ”Alright, I understand! I’m still waiting to meet my grandson-in-law!”

”Yes, yes. And the faith that has sustained you all these years!” Lin Qiushu said, wiping her tears.

”Right. Out of all my children, you are the one who understands my heart!” the elderly woman said as she got up, ”Shall we go out for a walk now?”

”You should have done this earlier!” Lin Qiushu said, smiling through her tears.

Having said this, she stood up and escorted the elderly woman out of the room.

In the nursing home’s backyard, various unknown flowers were in full bloom, and bees and butterflies danced around them. The elderly woman, while admiring them, spoke to Lin Qiushu, ”In a few days, you’ll take me back home. You can’t leave your mother alone at home to take care of the business! I need to go back and help her!”

”You really should worry less! Taking care of your health is what’s most important! My mom has always been a strong woman. She’s used to handling the business herself, and if you make her take a break, it would be less painful for her to be stabbed,” Lin Qiushu said with a smile.

”She just doesn’t know how to enjoy life! Money never ends! A person should not reduce themselves to a mere money-making machine!”

”Right! But if she thinks being busy and making money is enjoyable, just let her be! We mother and daughter think enjoying life is more important... Look at how beautiful these flowers are, their fragrance fills the air...” Before Lin Qiushu could finish, she saw An Hao approaching from a distance, her rounded belly prominent as she too came to enjoy the flowers in the garden.

Noticing Lin Qiushu had stopped talking midway, the elderly woman followed her gaze, ”Qiushu, what are you looking at?”
