It may take more than a month to retrieve the old man's body, but he died yesterday, so the funeral cannot be as grand as last time.
"Mr. Zhuodu" also said that after the body is brought back, it will be buried directly in a good Feng Shui site. There is no need to hold a banquet or decorate the mourning hall.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no need to waste time.
It seems that this is the adult world. The death of a loved one is a sad thing, but if it becomes troublesome and harms one's own interests, everyone's emotions will become irritable rather than sad.
At least, Lin Lu didn't see anyone crying like last time. His two aunts didn't even come here because they had to take care of the farmland at home.
Maybe he knows he can't help much, or maybe he knows someone will help.
Li Xianglian was filled with anger: "Let's go home. Xiaobei, you take your mother and I'll ride with your grandfather."
When they came in the morning, Lin Jingbei and Lin Changchun both rode bicycles so that they wouldn't have to walk back.
Lin Jingbei's car was successfully converted into an electric bicycle yesterday. Because he had the research foundation of the first one, it was easy to convert another one.
Lin Changchun was jealous and asked Lin Jingbei to modify his car as well, and his eldest grandson agreed.
Thanks to external help, the mother and son arrived home first.

Things happened so quickly that Song Chen celebrated his birthday in the car.
Only a few people at home could eat the cake ordered by Lin Lu. The Song family heard about the old man's situation and knew that Song Chen was not there, so they did not come here to bother Li Xianglian.
But the cake was ordered for more than a dozen people, and the four of them couldn't finish it, so they called a few children over.
You can't just do what you promised him casually.
It’s been over a month since I waited for him to come back, and I won’t think about waiting any longer.
Song Chen is 32 years old this year. Lin Lu lit three candles for him as a simple token of appreciation and called him: "The candles are lit, make a wish quickly."
Although Song Chen had been driving all day and was extremely tired, he didn't get angry at all when he saw that the person calling was his wife.
When he knew that Lin Lu was celebrating his birthday, he kept smiling. Lin Lu asked him to make a wish, and he actually closed his eyes and made three wishes.
"Okay, help me blow out the candles."
Lin Lu blew out the candles and said cheerfully, "Happy birthday."
Several children also leaned over to the phone and shouted, "Happy birthday, uncle."
Song Chen chatted with Lin Lu for a few minutes before hanging up the phone.
Then everyone shared the cake. This year's birthday was much quieter.
On Song Chen's side, the two people in front also heard what he said on the phone just now and knew that today was his birthday.
Li Jinwu was probably the only one in the Li family who had a conscience. He knew that what his family did was not kind, so he apologized to Song Chen.
Song Chen yawned and said, "It's okay. He is also Lulu's grandfather, so we have some responsibility as well."
We drove on wild roads for the past two or three days, and today we finally drove into a city. Cement walls and neatly arranged houses gradually appeared in front of us, and the voices of the crowds could be heard.
Song Chen: "Finally, I can have a hot meal."
After getting off the car, I went into a restaurant and had a few dishes cooked. After eating, I didn't take a moment to rest and got back on the road.

Li Jinyang and his companions didn't bring much money with them, or rather, they didn't have much money to begin with, so they spent most of it after playing for a week. They were able to sustain for so long only by relying on the money in the old man's hands.
But after waiting here for several months, I still haven't found a job. Now I don't even have money to eat, not to mention that the old man's body still needs to be kept in the morgue for a fee.
Even less money.
I originally wanted to listen to the doctor here and cremate the body directly, but the custom in my hometown is that people must return to their roots intact, otherwise the old man’s ghost will come to find you.
Then I didn’t dare to cremate the body and could only wait for my family to send money.
Several uncles wanted to borrow some money from Li Xianglian, the eldest sister, but she didn't even answer the phone this time.
Li Jinlong and his friends had no money to eat and had to ask the Xu family for help.
Xu Wanglin, contrary to his usual attitude, received them in a very friendly manner.
After asking about their well-being, he learned that they had not found a job yet. He criticized his two sons for forgetting their cousins who had come from afar because they were so busy with work.
He smiled and promised to find a job for several people and let them settle down in Kyoto.
His abnormal attitude was not unnoticed, but the temptation was too great, greed blinded his eyes, and he jumped into the hunter's trap without hesitation.
However, all these benefits have a prerequisite.
Xu Wanglin said: "Have you ever seen the bracelet on your grandmother's hand?"
How could these people have ever seen a bracelet? If such a bracelet really existed, how could they be so poor?
He must have bought a house in the city a long time ago, just like the eldest brother of the Song family.
Who would want to work hard in the fields?
Several people shook their heads and said they had never seen it.
Xu Wanglin was not sure whether this thing was on his aunt. This was also a guess made by his deceased father.
"Really you haven't seen it? Maybe it's been hidden."
Li Jinyang blurted out "Impossible". After hearing what happened in the Song family, everyone went home and beat their own elderly people. They may have searched the room countless times.
The Li family is naturally no exception.
"Really not."
No?
I'm sorry, Xu Wanglin said with a look of regret: "I was thinking that if I passed it on to you, anyone could sell it to me. It's not really worth much, but I know a friend whose mother is seriously ill. He heard that wearing a bracelet like this can help to dispel the disease, so he's willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy it from you."
Tens of thousands of dollars?
Several people couldn't help but hiss a few times, and at the same time felt as if they had lost tens of thousands of dollars.
Li Jinlong, the more shrewd of the group, rolled his eyes and said, "Maybe we didn't find everything. Don't worry, uncle. We'll look for it carefully when we go back this time. We're sure we can find it."
Xu Wanglin nodded. "That's fine. Since you all want to go home, I won't keep you here any longer. Don't worry, as long as you can find that thing, contact me immediately. I will definitely help you sell it for a good price."
There are tens of thousands of dollars at stake, and several people can't wait to go home and find them right now.
After returning to the house arranged for them by the Xu family, the brothers discussed the matter and concluded that only heaven and earth knew about it, and they should find a few people to share it equally, and the news must not be leaked.
He also warned Li Jinyang, "Brother, don't tell Li Jinwu. Since he didn't come with us, he's no longer in the same group with us."
How much money has Li Jinwu earned at home in the past two months?
They were all adults, so of course there was no brotherhood between them. Li Jinyang said, "No."
