“Okay, that sounds nice.” Zhao Juan nodded with a smile. “Angelica and Poria, let’s call them those two names. Great-Grandpa, please come up with a few more. If we have more children in the future, these two names won’t be enough.”
Zhao Juan gently tugged at her great-grandfather's wrist.
But his wrists were hanging down, and his eyes were tightly closed.
"Great-grandfather," Qiu Yan suddenly realized that something terrible was about to happen.
Following Zhao Juan's movements, she also tugged at her great-grandfather's wrist.
However, it remained completely still.
She looked at her great-grandfather's face and saw that the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, and his face still held the last smile.
Gu Qian's body, which he was carrying, stiffened instantly, but he continued forward.
"Great-grandfather..." Zhao Juan sobbed, bursting into tears.
"Great-Grandpa, Juan'er hasn't served you properly yet, how could you leave us like this? How could you leave us like this? Great-Grandpa, now that you're gone, Juan'er feels so empty..."
"Great-grandfather." Qiu Yan's tears also rolled down her cheeks.
"Grandpa passed away peacefully, Sister Juan'er, don't be sad."
"Xiao Yan." Zhao Juan turned around and hugged Qiu Yan tightly, tears streaming down her face.
Great-grandfather passed away peacefully on Gu Qian's back.
Seeing this, passing villagers also shed tears.
As the three approached the courtyard gate, they saw Liu Qi, looking travel-worn, who had just returned from Baiyang and was about to go out to look for Zhao Juan.
He first greeted Qiu Yan and Gu Qian, then glanced at Gu Qian's great-grandfather on his back, and asked Zhao Juan,
"Is Great-Grandpa asleep? Juan'er, why are you crying all of a sudden?"
"Great-grandfather is gone." Zhao Juan choked up, hugged Liu Qi and began to cry loudly.
"Let's go..." Liu Qi hugged Zhao Juan back, stunned and speechless.
He recalled the details of his first encounter with his great-grandfather back in Baiyang.
It was God who arranged everything for him in the dark.
Suddenly, he rushed into the courtyard, took his great-grandfather from Gu Qian's back, and laid him flat on the bed.
I began to do the final cleaning for him.
When Zhao Yougui's family arrived after hearing the news, Qiu Yan and Zhao Juan had already dressed their great-grandfather.
Moreover, the body had already been placed in a coffin by Gu Qian and Liu Qi.
With sorrow on their faces, Zhao Yougui and the others began to make arrangements for his funeral.
A white sail was hung in front of the courtyard gate.
The funeral hall has also begun to be set up.
Zhao Juan and Liu Qi wore mourning clothes.
Villagers who had lived nearby also began to come and help.
Because of her great-grandfather's passing, Qiu Yan and Gu Qian delayed their departure by a few days.
These past few days, she has been busy with Zhao Juan, Liu Shi, and others, taking care of her great-grandfather's funeral arrangements.
On the day of the funeral, Qiu Yan and Gu Qian, along with Zhao Juan and Liu Qi, accompanied the Zhao family to see their great-grandfather off on his final journey.
After the funeral arrangements were completed, Qiu Yan and Gu Qian bid farewell to their families and then departed.
This time, Qiu Yan didn't hide it from her family and told the truth.
With Gu Qian by his side, Qiu Dafu felt at ease.
They wanted to stop her, but their eldest niece was stubborn, and talking to her was useless.
This time, Qiu Yan made ample preparations.
Gu Qian solved the clearance issue.
They also brought enough money.
Originally, Qiu Yan hadn't planned to bring Gu Xiaoran along.
However, once Gu Xiaoran found out, she insisted on going along.
Xiao Ran accompanied them, as did the two shadows behind her.
No, there are three, plus Gu Xiaoran's lightning bolt, which is never far from her.
It was just the few of them; they didn't bring anyone else.
To their surprise, He Lin arrived right after they left.
After He Lin arrived, the first thing he did was to look for Shu'er.
He stayed at the grave for half a day, and only came to his senses after Li Zheng went there.
