Chapter 281 Death

After Zhou Qing finished explaining things to his four children and Lin Ting, he called his six grandchildren over and scanned their faces one by one.

"Li Wenbo and Yan Shen are both very good. Huanhuan and Shanshan, you should build a good family. Minmin should keep her eyes open when looking for a partner and make sure to find someone from a good family. The same goes for Congcong, Ruirui, and Liuliu. Find a good girl and remember to be nice to her. Take your grandfather for example. He never raised his voice to me in his life. I am willing to follow him wholeheartedly for the rest of my life."

The six grandchildren nodded in unison. Their tears, just wiped away, flowed out again and could not be wiped away.

Zhou Qing waved to Cheng Cheng and Xiao Yueliang again, "Come here, let grandma take a look at you."

Cheng Cheng and Xiao Yueliang ran over immediately.

"Little Moon, run slower and don't trip." Zhou Qing stood up worriedly.

"Grandma!" Cheng Cheng was older after all, so she was the first to stand in front of Zhou Qing.

"Hey." Zhou Qing responded and reached out to touch his little head.

"Grandma." Xiaoyue hugged Zhou Qing's legs, raised her head and smiled at her.

"Good baby." Zhou Qing touched her little face.

"Eat well and stay healthy in the future." She sat down and held a little baby in one hand.

"Um."

The two children nodded in unison.

"Grandma, have some candy." Little Moon suddenly took out a lollipop from her pocket and stuffed it into Zhou Qing's hand. "Drink the medicine, it won't be bitter."

Zhou Qing held the hawthorn lollipop in his hand and looked at her lovingly: How could such a tiny little person be so considerate?

Lin Ting also pointed at Xiaoyue happily and said, "I don't know who this little idiot learned this from."

"This is like Shanshan. Shanshan has been considerate since she was a child." Zhou Qing stuffed the candy into his pocket, then looked down at Little Moon, "Thank you, Little Moon. Grandma, you can eat it tomorrow."

"Yeah." Little Moon puffed out her chest.

Cheng Cheng reminded: "Grandma, remember to brush your teeth after eating the lollipop, otherwise you will get cavities."

"Okay, great-grandma knows. You have to brush your teeth after eating candy." Zhou Qing replied with a smile.

Wang Shan stood by and watched, and whispered to Lin Huan: "Looking at grandma like this, she may be fine."

"I hope so." Lin Huan clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and prayed to God.

Zhou Qing talked to the two little guys for a while, and gradually he began to lose energy.

"Qiuqiu, help me go to sleep for a while. I'm a little sleepy."

Lin Qiu walked forward with his head lowered, and helped her up with trembling hands. Everyone in the room looked at her.

Wang Shan walked to Lin Ting, and Lin Ting held her hand tightly.

Seeing Zhou Qing about to enter the room, Lin Ting called out, "Old woman!"

Zhou Qing turned around and replied with a smile: "Yeah."

Lin Ting tried to raise the corners of his mouth, "Have a good sleep, I'll take you to the scene tomorrow morning."

"good!"

Then I went back to the room and lay down on the bed.

Lin Qiu's tears fell like beads from a broken string, and she struggled to cover Zhou Qing with the air-conditioned quilt.

Zhou Qing touched her hand and closed his eyes.

Lin Qiu stood beside the bed, holding her hand.

Within two minutes, her hands fell down limply.

Lin Qiu threw himself on her with a broken heart, "Mom, Mom..."

The whole family was stunned.

How come he was talking just fine just now, and then died as soon as he lay down?

Everyone rushed into the room.

Lin Hui walked quickly to the bedside and felt Zhou Qing's pulse while trembling.

A moment later, he fell to his knees with a thump, crying loudly.

The others also knelt beside the bed, crying loudly.

Wang Xiuren hugged Lin Qiu and rubbed her back. "Don't cry like this anymore. You'll hurt your throat."

But Lin Qiu couldn't listen at all at this time.

She only knew that her mother was dead.

She has no mother.

In fact, she knew that her mother was just forcing herself to be strong these past two days, and that it was a last gasp of vitality, but in her heart she was just hoping that her mother would live longer and longer.

"Boss, let's set off the firecrackers. Lizi, prepare the incense, candles, money and paper."

In the end, it was Lin Ting who stood up and took charge of the situation.

As soon as the firecrackers were set off, many people from the tribe and the village came.

"Weren't you taking a walk in the evening? It's only been a short while, why did you go?" someone asked.

"I don't know. When he came back he said he wanted to take a shower and put on new clothes and shoes. He talked to us for a while and then he was going to bed. And then he left." Zhou Mei replied.

Everyone thought it was a last gasp and considered it a great blessing.

He didn't suffer any serious illness. His children and grandchildren were all by his side, and he left messages for each of them. He was clean and happy during his lifetime. He would lie on the bed and fall asleep without suffering any pain.

It can be said that this is the way of death that most elderly people dream of.

The mourning hall was set up early the next morning.

When the coffin was being put into place, Lin Qiu stood in front of it and refused to let anyone fill it with lime or cover the coffin. Wang Xiuren could not stop him.

Lin Ting couldn't stand it anymore, so he led her out, "Qiuqiu, come and sit with me. I won't be nervous if you're with me."

Lin Qiu threw herself into his arms and cried like a child, "Dad, I don't have a mom anymore, I don't have a mom anymore."

Lin Ting patted her back while crying, "You still have me! You still have your father!"

Everyone who saw it sighed: After all, she is a daughter, so she is closer to her mother.

In fact, they had no idea that this was the second time Lin Qiu had to face Zhou Qing’s death.

In the previous life, Zhou Qingbao suffered from illness. Lin Qiu felt sorry for his mother's suffering, and even though he was reluctant, he wished she could escape from the suffering as soon as possible.

But this time is different.

Zhou Qing has lived with her for more than 20 years. They already have a deep mother-daughter relationship, and spending time together day and night has made their relationship even deeper.

In addition, Zhou Qing is not suffering from any illness now, so Lin Qiu has always hoped that she can stay with him for a few more years.

But life and death are determined by fate. Lin Qiu, who has lived two lives, once again felt the heart-wrenching pain.

Over the next few days, seeing how miserable she looked, her family didn't dare to arrange anything for her and just let her stay with Lin Ting.

The funeral was lively and grand, and everyone in the family was so busy that they had no time to feel sad.

Influenced by the villagers, everyone now thinks that since Zhou Qing was old enough and had no illness, and that his death in his sleep was a happy one.

After seven days of busyness, Zhou Qing was sent to the cemetery amid the sound of gongs and drums.

Lin Ting had chosen the cemetery a long time ago, and it was not far from his home.

When it was time to fill the soil, Lin Qiu stared blankly at the yellow earth covering the black coffin one shovel at a time, feeling empty inside.

Xiao Yueliang held Wang Shan's hand and stood behind, watching the grave being gradually filled up. Then she understood: once dead, they are gone, and once gone, they can never be seen again.

She burst into tears loudly, almost fainting from crying out loud, but she kept shouting, "Great-grandma, great-grandma, I want great-grandma..."

Wang Shan quickly hugged her and coaxed her: "Don't cry, little Yueliang, be good. Don't cry. Mommy will get you something delicious later..."

"Great grandma..." Little Moon was sobbing and gasping for breath, "Great grandma..."

Lin Qiu walked over, looked at his granddaughter whose face was red from crying, pointed to the sky and said to her: "Grandma has gone to heaven and turned into a star. You can see her at night."
