Chen Yin's mother called back forty minutes later.
"The doctor has left, and Old Meng had woken up, but after taking his medicine, he fell asleep again. There's nothing to worry about, but your dad and Aunt Qing haven't come home, and I've no idea where they went. Old Meng has been angrily saying that he's going to take the train to City M first thing in the morning, and he won't spend the New Year in the Capital City. Nobody can dissuade him."
Meng Xinian took the call himself, and after hearing what Aunt Chen said, he replied, "Don't try to persuade him anymore. I'll find someone to buy him a train ticket right now. Aunt Chen, could you please help him pack some luggage? Just a few pieces of clothing will do, we have everything here."
Since Grandpa didn't want to spend the New Year with them and was planning to come to City M to spend it with him, that was a good thing.
Besides, he needed to ask Grandpa in person what had happened, exactly.
