When Zhou Bin heard this, he felt upset. Once Fourth Grandpa passed away, all the older generation would be gone.
Several people entered the room and saw Zhou Dexing lying on the kang, his face pale and extremely thin.
Zhou Jianguo called out softly, "Big brother, wake up, Zhou Bin and Li Nan are here to see you."
The older generation here used to call their father "Da", and it was only starting with Zhou Bin and his people that they gradually changed this trend.
Zhou Dexing had his eyes closed, but when he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw Zhou Bin and Li Nan.
He immediately struggled to sit up, but by now, he no longer had the strength to do so.
Zhou Jianguo and Zhou Bin hurried forward and helped him sit on the kang. Zhou Dexing looked very happy: "Zhou Bin, when did you come back?"
Zhou Bin immediately said, "Fourth Grandpa, we just got home and came to see you."
Li Nan also greeted: "Fourth Grandpa, how are you feeling now?"
Zhou Dexing smiled and shook his head: "As for me, I'm afraid it's time to go."
Zhou Bin hurriedly comforted him, "Fourth Grandpa, don't think too much. Your illness is not serious and will be cured after a while."
Zhou Dexing smiled: "Zhou Binwa, don't worry about me. I know my body, I have no regrets, and my life is worth it. When that day comes, I will leave immediately."
Zhou Dexing smiled as he spoke. Zhou Bin looked at the old man in front of him and suddenly felt sad.
I have been following these elders around since I was a child, but I didn’t expect that they are now in their twilight years and I see them slowly passing away one by one.
Li Nan looked at Zhou Dexing and felt a little sad. It was inevitable that people would grow old.
Zhou Dexing is very open-minded. He believes that when people get old, it is a kind of happiness if they can just leave and not suffer.
But the only thing he was worried about was his son, so he said to Zhou Bin: "Zhou Bin, I am very lucky to be alive and live in a new house, to see our village build cement roads and use tap water. If it weren't for you, our villagers wouldn't even dare to think about these things. You are really capable!"
Zhou Bin smiled and said: "This is not the credit of me alone, but the result of the joint efforts of our entire village."
Zhou Dexing shook his head: "Don't be so modest. Without you, our village wouldn't be so good. What I want to say is that your uncle Jianguo is an honest man who doesn't know how to talk and has no one to take care of him. After my death, he will have no one to take care of him. If you can help him more in the future, please help him more. Fourth Grandpa thanks you in advance."
As he spoke, tears welled up in the old man's eyes. His biggest concern now was his son.
When Zhou Bin heard this, he immediately nodded and agreed: "Fourth Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely help my Uncle Jianguo."
After hearing this, Zhou Dexing nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. Jianguo has been an honest child since he was young and doesn't know how to get involved in relationships."
Zhou Jianguo's eyes were red: "Dad, talk less and take a break."
Zhou Dexing seemed to perk up all of a sudden, and he pulled Zhou Bin aside to talk about many things. He said that Zhou Bin was the most capable person he had ever met, and that the villagers would definitely live a good life in the future if they followed him.
Zhou Bin talked to him and comforted him.
Zhou Dexing spoke like this for two hours in one breath, and finally stopped after being persuaded by his son.
When Zhou Bin and Li Nan saw that the old man was also sleepy, they got up and said goodbye.
When Zhou Bin returned home, he felt very emotional.
Although Fourth Grandpa was already terminally ill, he still cared about the affairs of the village and his son. He even kept in mind the fact that the playground of the village primary school was in tatters.
The old man at that time really had such great feelings.
They have lived in the village all their lives and care about every tree and blade of grass in the village. Before they died, they were still worried about the future of this land.
The next day, Zhou Bin went to the village committee and spent a day dealing with village affairs. Then on the third day, he went to the scenic spot and dealt with the things he needed to deal with.
Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Bin finally finished all the things he had on hand. At this time, he was still thinking about going to Su City.
He planned to rest for three more days if there was nothing else to do and then set off.
Zhou Bin discussed with Li Nan that his old father would be very lonely at home, so he simply asked Li Nan to invite her parents over, let them stay here for some time, and visit the scenic spots at the same time.
Li Nan was very happy and agreed to Zhou Bin's idea.
The two went to Huaishu Village the next day and told Li Nan's parents about this idea.
They were also very happy, so they followed him to Zhou Bin's house.
Now Zhou Jianming has someone to chat with and he won't sit alone in the yard in a daze anymore.
Just that afternoon when the two of them arrived, Zhou Jianguo suddenly ran over and said that his father had passed away.
Zhou Bin and his father were both shocked. How could it be so fast?
Only then did Zhou Bin understand that seeing Zhou Dexing so energetic that day was actually a last burst of vitality!
So Zhou Bin and his father hurried to his great-grandfather's house to pay their respects, and his father started crying as soon as he arrived at the door.
This is the etiquette there, expressing condolences to the deceased.
Zhou Bin couldn't cry, not because he wasn't sad, but because he didn't have the habit of doing so.
No matter how sad he was, his eyes would only turn red, and he really couldn't cry loudly.
Zhou Bin felt a little guilty, but they were quite tolerant towards young people here and no one asked them to cry out loud.
When the two entered the house, a simple mourning hall had been set up, with a photo of Zhou Dexing hanging on it and some incense, candles and paper offerings placed in front.
