Suddenly, a violent, crackling sound, like an explosion, ripped through the sky.
At the same time, Nie Zhao also picked up his son.
It was the sound of cannons during the funeral procession. After confirming that the person had passed away, the cannons fired, and the funeral procession began.
Nie Zhao was afraid his son would be scared, so he immediately picked him up and covered his son's ears.
However, it is said that most parents are actually fulfilling their own childhood self when raising children, and people always awaken an instinct after becoming parents, which is to compensate themselves through their children.
Because Nie Zhao was always in fear during his childhood, he naturally felt that his son couldn't handle the fright and would be afraid of the sound of cannons, so he held his son tightly.
Although children are created by their parents, their nature and their whole being are completely different from their parents.
So Nie Zhao held his son tightly, covering his ears, but A Yuan wrapped one arm around his father's head, his little cheek rubbing against his father's ear, while his other hand gently patted his father's back. He said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a matter of time."
Nie Zhao was taken aback, thinking to himself, "How did my son know that it was the sound of cannons?"
It's normal for A Yuan to know this, because the wet nurse and the nanny have been providing early education continuously.
A-Yuan continued patting his father's back and said, "Baby and Mommy are here, we'll protect you, protect you!"
Nie Zhao wanted to protect his son, but his son's two little hands also wanted to protect him.
His wife also came up behind him at the right time, wrapped her arms around his waist and patted him gently: "Rest if you're tired, I'll take care of things outside."
Nie Zhao was still in a state of collapse, but the feelings of grievance and frustration had finally passed.
He thought that this was probably the meaning of marriage and childbirth.
...
The funeral procession is about to begin, and it requires the filial sons and grandsons to lead the way.
However, Nie Zhao's condition was not suitable, so according to Chen Rou's suggestion, it would be just as good to let Nie Han do it.
But as soon as she brought it up, Uncle Ming immediately objected, and he objected firmly.
Hong Kong still holds old ideas and is very strict about feng shui and superstition.
The ritual of carrying the memorial tablet over the fire basin during the funeral must be performed by a male, and he must complete the entire ritual.
Uncle Ming worked tirelessly for a whole year without rest, all to ensure a successful funeral for Nie Rong, giving him a grand and glorious burial. He also kept a close eye on the Taoist priests, sorcerers, nuns, and abbesses, not allowing them to make the slightest mistake. He even arranged a feng shui arrangement to bring prosperity to Nie Zhao's family for three generations, having a girl carry a fire basin on her head in case any evil spirits were unleashed. For the first time ever, Uncle Ming even lost his temper.
But Nie Zhao was really in trouble right now, because his arm was bruised from being pinched by Nie Rong, and his legs were weak.
He has always cared about his image, and even though the media would capture him in a disheveled state, the people of Hong Kong would still praise him for being filial.
But Nie Zhao cares a lot about his public image; he doesn't like being photographed in an unflattering way.
It's just a funeral, right? Chen Rou thought for a moment, then lifted A Yuan up: "He's here, I'll hold him."
Ah Yuan is only two and a half years old, is he capable?
Uncle Ming looked at A Yuan, and A Yuan looked at Uncle Ming. After thinking for a moment, A Yuan stretched out his little hand and gave an OK sign.
Uncle Ming paused for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction: "Our young master is amazing, absolutely amazing."
He's really amazing for taking his father's place at such a young age.
Chen Rou knew best that Nie Zhao was good in every way except for being timid, so she arranged for a servant to bring her Phoenix Army knife. Mao Zi Ge, who happened to be receiving treatment at the hospital, rode his motorcycle over in no more than an hour. He carried Nie Yao, who was still wearing pajamas and slippers, over like a chick. Chen Rou then asked Mao Zi Ge to accompany the boss.
If you were to ask who among his bodyguards has the strongest yang energy, without a doubt, it would be the Russian guy.
So as soon as the Russian guy arrived, Secretary An pulled him upstairs and locked him in a small dark room to keep his boss company.
Because he was riding his jet ski so fast, not only did the coast guards on both sides not stop him, but they also couldn't catch up with him. Moreover, the waves splashed up by the jet ski soaked Nie Yao, who was still wearing his pajamas, into a soaking wet mess.
His father passed away in the hospital, and there was a simple funeral procession when he left the hospital.
When Nie Yao squeezed through the crowd, what he saw was little A Yuan kneeling at the intersection with his mother, who was dressed in white.
Immediately, looking utterly distraught, he was dragged to Uncle Ming's presence by the bodyguards.
Nie Yao was also terrified, because he really didn't expect his father to die so quickly.
Otherwise, because he needs to report on the construction progress, he would come to Hong Kong every two days, and he would also visit the hospital.
But his father passed away, and he didn't even get to see him one last time.
He guessed that Uncle Ming would be very angry and would scold him in public. He had indeed done something wrong and deserved to be scolded.
However, Uncle Ming did not scold him. Instead, he took off his suit jacket and gave it to him, saying, "It's fate. It's an auspicious time."
It was exactly midnight when Nie Rong, who had been placed in an ice coffin, was about to go downstairs to the funeral home.
Indeed, it's not easy for the average person to find this auspicious time at a hospital.
Uncle Ming murmured again, "I just talked to the Heavenly Master. The burial will be in three days. It's a rare auspicious day. The mountain direction, the sun direction, and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are all favorable. If we delay for two more days, we won't be able to find an auspicious day this year, and we'll have to send the coffin away."
Nie Yao didn't really understand the feng shui principles regarding burial, so he could only nod in agreement.
But it can actually be troublesome, because from a feng shui perspective, the time of death and the burial location might clash. In that case, the coffin and body must be temporarily placed elsewhere, and then buried a year or two later, which is very troublesome.
Nie Yao thought he would be blamed, and he felt a little sad when he thought about how good his father had been to him when he was a child.
But soon, Uncle Ming used a routine method to completely wipe away Nie Yao's sadness.
