Chapter 604: Keep funerals simple

After He Youfu returned, despite the opposition of a large part of the people, he still insisted on doing collective sideline business.

Someone came to complain to him, and he directly pushed it to the commune.

"It was decided by the leaders above. It's useless to complain to me. You can go to the commune to protest directly."

Someone else ran out: "None of us will participate. Let the captain's family deal with it by themselves. We don't want to work in vain!"

He Youfu was not reluctant: "The more you work, the more you get. The less you work, the less you get. There is also money for no work, but there is not much money to share." No

matter what others say, he is now in a stable state of mind.

At the end of November, the first heavy snow fell in the north city since the beginning of winter.

The factory organized people to go out to sweep the snow, but Jiang Yu did not go.

Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she looked like a ball when wrapped in a turban. She was too lazy to move.

Before leaving the house, He Tingyue kept nagging like an old woman and gave several instructions.

"Don't go out by yourself. Wait for me to come back and take you. Do you hear me?"

"I hear you, I hear you. You are so nagging now."

He Tingyue saw that she yawned and seemed to want to take another nap. He patted her head and walked out.

Jiang Yu was just thinking about whether to go back for a nap when she saw Jiang Ye running in from outside.

"Sister, Grandma He Xing is dying!"

Jiang Yu stood up with the help of the table. She felt dizzy and almost fell over.

Jiang Ye hurriedly supported her, "Sister, I just came here to tell you that I will go back to see He Xing and help her with her family affairs. You don't have to go, just wait for my news at home."

Jiang Yu hurriedly said, "Go find Liuzi to help. He Xing is the only one in grandma's house. I'm afraid someone will bully her and she will have no one to rely on."

In this world, there are many people who want to eat up the whole family.

The blind grandmother didn't leave anything, but He Xing must have saved some money when she followed Jiang Ye to manage the chicken farm.

Jiang Ye helped her sit down, "I know, I will handle this matter, don't worry."

He made this trip specifically because he was afraid that Jiang Yu would hear the news from other places, and would not know anything, and would run back to Nanhe Village in a hurry.

Jiang Ye hurried out and almost slipped, which scared Jiang Yu.

"Be careful!"

Jiang Ye hurriedly shouted, "Don't worry about it, I'm fine!"

Before he left, he swept the snow at the door of Jiang Yu's house.

It was snowing now, and the floor was covered with a layer of snow in a short while, like a white carpet.

Jiang Ye went straight to Lai Liuzi's house to seek his help.

Lai Liuzi naturally said nothing, put on his coat and followed him out the door.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Cai Huifang called him: "Liuzi, where are you going?"

Lai Liuzi said: "Something happened at my friend's house, I went to help."

Jiang Ye's chicken farm used to supply him, and he had dealt with the little girl He Xing.

He had no parents and was an orphan. Naturally, he had more sympathy for He Xing, who had the same background.

Therefore, when he heard that it was He Xing's family, he naturally had no choice but to help.

"What friend? You have to tell us, otherwise your family won't even know where you are."

Although Cai Huifang's tone was reproachful, Lai Liuzi didn't feel angry. She had a point.

"Mom, she's from the same hometown as Aye, a little girl, who lives with her grandmother. Now her grandmother is dying, so I'm going to see her."

Hearing that it was a "girl", Cai Huifang felt even more unhappy.

"You are already married, you should be more careful outside. Since she is a lesbian, you should keep your distance."

Lai Liuzi: "... He Xing'er is only fourteen years old, she is still a child."

"Is she not a lesbian at the age of fourteen? She will grow up in the future..."

Jiang Ye was too lazy to listen to her muttering, and interrupted her: "Sixth brother, forget it, I will go by myself."

Lai Liuzi ignored Cai Huifang and followed him out.

"Mom, tell Xiaole."

Cai Huifang saw that he didn't listen to her at all, her face was angry, and she followed him out.

"Would I hurt you? What does that little girl have to do with you? It's snowing outside, and you rush to help her?"

Lai Liuzi ignored her and walked away without looking back.

Jiang Ye hesitated, worried that his good intentions would lead to bad results, and he shouldn't have come to see Lai Liuzi.

"Sixth brother, why don't you not go."

Lai Liuzi patted his shoulder, "It's okay, my mother-in-law is just like that, at most she'll scold me a few times when I get home, it's okay."

Jiang Yu asked Jiang Ye to come to him out of trust.

He refused such a small matter, Jiang Yu would not dare to come to him in the future.

The two hurried to Nanhe Village, He Xing's family had already started to prepare for the funeral, the blind grandmother passed away.

Walking into the house, only He Xing was kneeling alone in front of the mourning hall and crying.

Her thin figure would make anyone feel distressed.

He Youfu saw them and walked out with a heavy face.

"Aye, why are you here? I was going to ask someone to tell your sister."

Jiang Ye said, "I've already told my sister, and she asked me to come and help."

He Youfu sighed, "He Xing's grandmother said that everything should be kept simple. She doesn't want to be a burden to He Xing after her death, so she will be buried after tonight."

Although Jiang Ye didn't understand these, he knew the general process of the death of an elderly person in the village.

The blind grandmother was too simple.

"Uncle Youfu, I can pay for..."

"No need." He Xing raised her head, her eyes had swollen like walnuts.

"Brother Ye, my grandmother said that the funeral should be kept simple, and she doesn't want anything."

She didn't want to trouble others, so she just did it according to her grandmother's will.

Jiang Ye fell silent and nodded.

He knelt beside He Xing and patted her shoulder stiffly.

"I'll stay here with you tonight. When things here are over, you can pack up and come back with me."

He Xing hung her head, "It doesn't matter if I stay in the village."

She knew very well that at her age, even if she followed him back to the city, she would only be a burden.

He Youfu said, "Aye, let your sister rest assured, I will take good care of He Xing."

Jiang Ye did not continue to persuade her and said he would talk about it tomorrow.

Lai Liuzi looked around and walked into He Xing's kitchen, which was empty.

"Xing'er, have you eaten anything?"

He Youfu said worriedly, "She has been kneeling since dawn and doesn't eat anything. This child is very stubborn. You guys should help persuade her."

Lai Liuzi wanted to make something for He Xing, but there was nothing in the kitchen.

He had no choice but to give Liu Junmei some money in exchange for a bag of flour and ten eggs.

Liu Junmei naturally refused, "What do you want? Auntie will go home and get it for you. You are Jiang Yu's friend, how can I ask you for money?"

Lai Liuzi stuffed the money in his hand, "Auntie, no matter who I am, no one's things are blown by the wind. Please keep them, otherwise I will feel embarrassed to take your things."

Seeing that he insisted, Liu Junmei had to take the money. In addition to the flour and eggs, she also took half a pound of meat that she didn't finish eating today.

"At first, I was worried that Xing'er would be alone. Her grandmother passed away, and I didn't know what to do in the future. Now that I see you are here, I feel relieved."
