Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

At this point in time, Zhai Sheng couldn’t calm down. He notified Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing at the fastest speed and called Zhai Hua and Qiao Nan up.

Dawn was just breaking. However, there was a huge commotion in the Zhai family.

Upon hearing Zhai Sheng’s words, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing were so shocked that they just wore one piece of clothing and rushed downstairs without wearing their shoes. After entering Old Master Zhai’s room and looking at this situation, he said, “Dad, wake up. Wake up. Doctor, call the doctor quickly!”

The auntie looked panicked. “I’ve already made the call. The doctor should be here soon.” The people who lived in this quad were important political figures in China. Units like the hospital would naturally not be too far away from them.

Once the hospital received the Zhai family’s call, the doctor immediately rushed over at the fastest speed. “Excuse me, let me do a check on the elder.” After the doctor confirmed that his vital signs were gone and even his eyeballs had become cloudy, he shook his head helplessly. “Sorry, the elder has already passed away. It could be seen that he left peacefully, so it’s a joyous passing.”

Everyone knew that Old Master Zhai was always in good health condition and rarely visited their hospital. Old Master Zhai didn’t suffer from any illness or pain and had left peacefully in his dreams. Among the veteran revolutionaries, Old Master Zhai could be said to have left the most peacefully. It wasn’t an exaggeration to call it a joyous passing.

Since it was a joyous passing, the Zhai family didn’t need to be too upset. However, the problem was that their closest relative was gone. How was it possible that the sadness in their hearts decreased just because it was a joyous passing?

“Dad!” Miao Jing was mournful. She had been caring about Elder Lin and didn’t notice her father-in-law’s condition at all. “He was all good. Why did this happen?”

Zhai Yaohui’s face turned pale. He walked up and grabbed Old Master Zhai’s stiffened hand and was speechless for a long time.

“Grandpa? It’s impossible. He wouldn’t. He was still happily celebrating the triplets’ birthday yesterday. It has only been a night. No, this must be a mistake.” Upon thinking about how he looked yesterday and how he looked now, he didn’t seem to have passed away at all. “Grandpa, wake up quickly. Since when did you love to crack jokes? This isn’t funny at all. The four children will wake up in two hours’ time. When they’re awake and you’re not, they will laugh at you for being old.”

Zhai Hua wanted to pull Old Master Zhai up from the bed. Tian Dong reached out to stop her. “Hua Hua, I know you can’t accept this in a short period of time. However, grandpa’s really gone. Don’t be like this. If not, grandpa won’t leave peacefully.” Tian Dong was surprised as well. He only knew that Elder Lin’s health wasn’t good. Old Master Zhai didn’t look like he was going to pass away at all.

Just a few hours ago, they were still with them, celebrating the triplets’ birthday together and eating cake. How did someone just pass away within such a short period of time? Even Tian Dong was confused, let alone Zhai Hua. He felt that he was having a nightmare and that everything before him wasn’t real.

But the sad atmosphere in the Zhai family told Tian Dong that all of this had really happened and it wasn’t a dream. Old Master Zhai had really passed away. “Oh, right, what about Elder Lin?” Old Master Zhai was no longer around. Would something happen to Elder Lin, whose health was worse than Old Master Zhai’s, as well?

“I’ll call and check.” Qiao Nan, whose hands and legs went soft, looked the worst among them. Old Master Zhai’s sudden death was too sudden for anyone in the Zhai family. It was simply too shocking. What shocked Qiao Nan more was that she didn’t know how her master was now.

“There’s no need for that. Around half an hour ago, Elder Lin has passed away as well.” Zhai Sheng, who had just returned after contacting the auntie from the Lin family, said in a hoarse voice, “Dongzi, father and I are here for the old master. Can I trouble you to go next door and change Elder Lin into some decent clothes?”

When the auntie from the Lin family received Zhai Sheng’s call that Old Master Zhai had passed away as well, she shouted, “Oh, god!” She didn’t know what day it was today. Why did both Elder Lin and Old Master Zhai pass away?

“Nan Nan!” Zhai Hua saw Qiao Nan’s eyes roll back into her head and her body went soft after Zhai Sheng said that Elder Lin had passed away half an hour ago. Zhai Hua hurriedly reached out and grabbed Qiao Nan, who had fainted, when her body swayed forward.

Qiao Nan fainted from the agitation, and Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua were in a flurry. As Miao Jing cried, she squeezed the towel. “Go and wipe Nan Nan’s face. What exactly is going on? Why is everything happening at the same time? How can Nan Nan handle such a huge blow?”

When she heard the old master was no longer around, she noticed that something was wrong with Nan Nan. When Nan Nan heard that Elder Lin had passed away half an hour earlier than the old master, how could she handle this huge blow?

Miao Jing took a wet towel and walked to Qiao Nan, wanting to wipe her face for her. Then, she saw a barefooted small figure with his eyes red at the door. Miao Jing’s heart shuddered. “Da Bao, why are you here?”

Before making the arrangements for the old man’s passing, the adults in the family planned not to tell the triplets and Xiao Bao first, for fear that they would be scared.

But when Miao Jing took a closer look, Da Bao was already standing at Old Master Zhai’s door. “Da Bao, you… How long have you been standing here?” Seeing that Da Bao’s eyes were red, Miao Jing wasn’t able to self-comfort that Da Bao didn’t hear anything and that he didn’t understand what was meant by his great-grandpa was no longer around.

After the breath in her heart eased, Qiao Nan coincidentally heard Miao Jing’s words to Da Bao. Qiao Nan’s tears fell and she waved her hands at Da Bao. Da Bao dashed toward Qiao Nan and snuggled tightly next to her. However, his eyes kept looking at Old Master Zhai.

Qiao Nan carried Da Bao up and placed him on her knee. “Why did you come over without putting on shoes?” Da Bao’s feet were cold.

His mom was holding his legs with warm hands. Unlike the past, Da Bao didn’t feel any happiness or his mom’s love for him. He was very scared at this moment. “Mom, what happened to great-grandpa? What about master grandpa? I want master grandpa. Will they still celebrate my birthday with me next year? I even made a birthday wish!”
