After getting up in the morning, Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing started packing up and preparing to go back to her parents' home without even having breakfast.
"Brother Ziqing, are we going to take all these things back?" Zhou Yuanyuan frowned as she looked at the pile of gifts in the living room.
"Yuanyuan, be good. These are some gifts prepared by grandpa and the others. Let's take them and just make the old man happy." Wen Ziqing coaxed Zhou Yuanyuan.
Wen Yiran, at General Zhou's request, held Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing's wedding according to the Sanhe Town tradition. Today was the third day of the wedding, and the more generous the return gift, the more satisfied he was with his new bride.
Isn't that right? Wen Yiran had Wen Yulun and the others buy a ton of gifts. There were over a dozen boxes of health supplements like ginseng and deer antlers. There were also special gifts like cakes and steamed buns as return gifts, filling up almost half of Zhou Yuanyuan's living room.
"Okay! Brother Ziqing, then put it in your storage bag and we'll take it out when we get in the car. Otherwise, we can't take it away." Zhou Yuanyuan spread out his palms and said helplessly.
"Okay, no problem, I'll do it." Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan finally agreed with his opinion, Wen Ziqing hurriedly got busy.
Zhou Yuanyuan watched Wen Ziqing busying around with her hands clasped together, chatting with him: "Brother Ziqing, Great-grandfather is really weird this time. He's not superstitious at all normally, but yesterday he refused to let me go back. It's really boring."
Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing returned to Kyoto City yesterday. Zhou Yuanyuan originally wanted to go directly back to the Zhou family, but was stopped by Wen Ziqing.
Wen Ziqing remembered it clearly! When he went to pick up the bride that day, General Zhou personally instructed that Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan return home in three days.
Zhou Yuanyuan thought Wen Ziqing was fooling her, so she called back. However, General Zhou really didn't allow her to call back. He also said that the rule in Sanhe Town was that the new bride had to return home within three days, and asked Zhou Yuanyuan to be obedient.
Zhou Yuanyuan stomped her feet in anger, but she didn't dare to confront General Zhou.
General Zhou is old and has not much time left. It’s too late for Zhou Yuanyuan to follow him!
"Yuanyuan, if we go out now, when we get there, it will be the time that Great-grandfather requested. When we see Great-grandfather later, you can criticize his superstitious ideas." Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan joked.
General Zhou even limited the time for Wen Ziqing to enter the house. Although Wen Ziqing felt both amused and confused, he was still very touched by General Zhou's caring heart.
"Hmph! I'm not stupid. Grandpa Zeng is doing this for our own good." Zhou Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Wen Ziqing.
"Yuanyuan, look, why is there a shooting star in the sky in broad daylight?" Wen Ziqing looked out the window and exclaimed in surprise.
Meteor? Zhou Yuanyuan looked in the direction of Wen Ziqing's finger.
In the sky, a star with a bright tail flashed and disappeared.
Suddenly, Zhou Yuanyuan felt a palpitation.
"Could something have happened to my great-grandfather?" Zhou Yuanyuan was shocked.
When Zhou Yuanyuan was a child, she loved listening to Zhao Qingshan tell stories the most.
Zhao Qingshan said that great figures in the human world, such as emperors, generals, and ministers, could all be found in corresponding constellations in the sky. The falling of a star signified the death of a great figure.
When Zhou Yuanyuan thought of this, she didn't bother to explain to Wen Ziqing. She took Wen Ziqing's hand and teleported back to the Zhou family.
The Zhou family was already in a state of chaos.
Zhou Jiasheng rushed to General Zhou immediately, laid him flat on the ground, and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him.
Zhou Xi was stunned, frightened by General Zhou's sudden death. It was not until Zhou Jiasheng gave General Zhou first aid that Zhou Xi regained consciousness.
Zhou Xi took General Zhou's hand and felt his pulse. General Zhou's pulse had stopped beating and his body temperature was slowly dropping.
Is the master really gone? Zhou Xi couldn't help crying when he thought of this.
At this time, Zhou Zhixin got up and limped to General Zhou.
"Grandpa, Grandpa!" Zhou Zhixin didn't dare to disturb Zhou Jiasheng's first aid, so he had to squat not far away and called out pitifully a few times.
In the kitchen, Zhao Yunxiang and Xiaocao heard the noise outside and hurried out.
Xiaocao stopped Zhao Yunxiang who was about to run into the yard and reminded her, "Mom, call the doctor quickly."
"Yes, yes, call a doctor, call a doctor." Zhao Yunxiang was a little confused and turning around.
Xiaocao sighed and gave up the idea of going to the yard to see what was going on. She helped Zhao Yunxiang to the phone.
Only when Xiaocao put the microphone into Zhao Yunxiang's hand did Zhao Yunxiang come back to her senses.
Zhao Yunxiang took a deep breath, controlled her trembling hands, and dialed several calls in succession.
While Zhao Yunxiang was on the phone, Xiaocao said to Wang Ma, who was standing by helplessly, "Wang Ma, I'll leave the kitchen to you."
"Okay, okay." Aunt Wang nodded and went back to the kitchen to do her thing.
Regardless of General Zhou's condition, the family still had to eat. As the cook, she had to do her job well first.
After returning to the kitchen, Mother Wang secretly wiped away her tears and silently prayed in her heart that General Zhou was okay.
When Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing rushed to the Zhou family, they saw Zhou Jiasheng giving first aid to General Zhou.
Zhou Yuanyuan's face changed as soon as she took a look with her spiritual sense.
There was no life left in General Zhou.
"Master, I'll carry you to change clothes." At this time, Zhou Xi wiped the tears from his face and pushed away Zhou Jiasheng, who was busy and sweating profusely.
"Sister, my great-grandfather..." Zhou Jiasheng raised his head and saw Zhou Yuanyuan with a sad face.
Zhou Jiasheng couldn't finish his sentence. The expressions on Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing's faces said it all. General Zhou, there's really no hope this time.
"Grandpa, Grandpa~!" At this time, Zhou Zhixin howled and cried out in pain.
"Brother, help Dad wash his face first. He will have to take care of great-grandfather's funeral!" Zhou Yuanyuan ordered calmly.
"Okay." Zhou Jiasheng also knew that things had come to this point, and even if everyone was sad, it was useless.
When Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing walked into the living room, they saw Zhao Yunxiang sitting on the sofa crying her heart out.
Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhao Yunxiang couldn't help but rush over: "Yuanyuan, why did your great-grandfather pass away? How could he just die like that? Yesterday he said he would help Jiasheng take care of the children, he lied, wuwuwu..."
"Mom, don't be sad. Great-grandpa has completed his mission, so..." Zhou Yuanyuan patted Zhao Yunxiang's hand and comforted her.
Actually, Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to cry, too. Just thinking about General Zhou, the loving old man, leaving this world, made her heart ache. But with so much going on at home, and Zhou Zhixin and Zhao Yunxiang both crying their eyes out, Zhou Yuanyuan had no choice but to step in and take on the responsibility.
With the passing of General Zhou, his family still has a lot to do!
