Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Nervous as Home Approaches Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Nervous as Home Approaches But he knew that when alone, his father would often stare off into space.
Moreover, when he was young, he had once seen his father kowtow in a certain direction.
Now that he thought about it, that direction was exactly where the Imperial Capital lay.
Despite having had countless phone conversations with Qiaoqiao about this matter, and telling his own wife not to worry about it,
the sight of the two cars approaching from a distance still made Gu Tianfeng’s heart race.
Gu Qianqian and Gu Zishu also stopped frolicking and looked curiously at the cars that were drawing nearer.
Gu Qianqian expressed her surprise, “Dad, that car belongs to Brother Luo Fan.”
Gu Tianfeng took a glance and sure enough, one of the cars was Luo Fan’s.
With another thought, he figured it out.
They must have met up in the provincial city.
It was said that Elder Luo and Great Grandfather were old acquaintances.
So naturally, Luo Fan, who happened to be in the provincial city, would personally drive them to Stone Town.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingfeng and Lady Yu, though seated in separate cars, shared the same thoughts.
This beautiful small town was where their son had lived for over forty years.
And Kunkun’s remains were buried here as well!
Was the clean-cut man over forty standing at the entrance their own grandson?
The gentle and beautiful woman standing by his side, was she their granddaughter-in-law?
And that vivacious little girl, she must be their great-granddaughter, right?
As for the boy jumping up and down on the earthen wall at the entrance, like a playful monkey, he was their only great-grandson.
This family standing outside the door was the flesh and blood that their son Gu Kun had left in this world.
They had thought that being over eighty, they could maintain their composure in front of the younger generation.
They were here to acknowledge their kin, to see their grandson and his family, and then to take them back to the Imperial Capital, to Gu Garden.
From then on, their families would reunite and stay together forever, until the two of them left this world.
But when the cars stopped at the courtyard entrance, the two elderly people sat in their seats, covering their faces, sobbing uncontrollably.
What had they lived for until today?
Was it just to take a look at their son’s grave?
They had just missed each other so completely.
In their memories, the image of their Kun’er was forever frozen in the year he was fourteen.
But now, what did all this mean…
Luo Fan was silent, seeking with his gaze to ask Gu Qiaoqiao what to do.
They were about to meet their grandson and his family.
With the old people crying and covering their faces, not getting out of the car, what should they do?
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head slightly.
She understood their feelings.
In the Imperial Capital, in Border City, on the train, or even in the provincial city, the two elders who had accepted their fate were calm yet filled with joy.
But as the saying goes, “The nearer to home, the greater the apprehension.”
Just like when she returned home after the Spring Festival, she was fine on the train, on the bus, and on the roads of Stone Town.
But the moment she saw the familiar yet strange house, the panic and fear that everything was just a dream assaulted her unguarded.
Even then, her legs were shaking.
She thought that although the situation of Great Grandma and Great Grandfather was different from hers, they were quite similar.
Before their arrival, the death of their grandpa was merely a few words in their minds.
But when they saw Gu Tianfeng and his family, they truly and deeply realized their son was dead.
This sorrow was beyond words.
