I even bought a basket made of packing tape on the street, otherwise it would be difficult to carry it back.
When they returned to their residence, Gu Qianru had already packed the things she would take tomorrow. When she saw them coming back with food, she called everyone over.
Worried that the old man might not be able to digest the food, I went downstairs to pack some porridge and buns.
The old man was in a low mood, and even with the children around him, it didn't seem to make him feel much better. He ate some porridge and went to bed early.
Although we cannot empathize with him, we can understand his feelings.
The children had been warned by the adults and were relatively well behaved. They were quietly playing with the building blocks they brought without making any noise.
The next morning, the people arranged by Shen Jianzhong came with a minibus, put the offerings in the car, and then asked everyone to get on.
It took nearly an hour to drive to the cemetery.
Everyone started to place the offerings, and Mr. Gu personally wiped the tombstone: "Xiu Rong, we are here to see you."
After saying this, tears were already streaming down his face.
After calming down, he started talking about family matters again, and finally pulled Xiao Yezi over: "Xiu Rong, this child is the second son of Yi Chen's family. I shamelessly asked them for the surname Huang and the inheritance of the Huang family.
I know this is a bit of taking advantage of your seniority and being a bit selfish, but I often think of what you said, 'There is no one left in the Huang family'. This is a pain in your heart for the rest of your life.
So I decided to give the child the surname Huang, and he is also a blood relative of the Huang family. My dear, are you relieved now? I know you will say that I am making a fuss again, but this is your concern, isn't it?
Just listen to me this time. Xiao Yezi will make the Huang family prosperous in the future. You can rest assured now."
After listening to the old man's words, Luo Qiao finally understood why he insisted that Xiao Yezi have the surname Huang. To be honest, she was a little unhappy at the time. It was bad enough that none of her children had the same surname, but her three sons didn't even have the same surname.
Originally, she agreed because she understood that her grandmother was an old revolutionary and out of respect for her. But now that her grandfather said this, she understood that the older generation attached great importance to inheritance, and fearing that there would be no descendants became her grandmother's obsession.
Love is selfish, but grandpa's love for grandma is also enviable and admirable, so she can understand the old man's approach.
After everyone had paid their respects, Xiao Yezi kowtowed and burned incense to the Huang family alone, and he was officially considered to be a descendant of the Huang family.
After leaving the cemetery, the convoy did not return to the city, but went to the Martyrs' Cemetery. The old man said that this might be his last time here, so he did everything by himself.
After the worship was over, Lu Yichen stayed behind and asked everyone to wait in the car first, after all, they were with a group of children.
The old man sat in the cemetery for a while, muttering a lot, and then slowly walked out with the support of Lu Yichen. He looked back before getting in the car and left.
After the worship, I stayed in Chongqing for another day.
The old man asked his two grandsons to accompany him to visit some old friends, and then bought a plane ticket back to Beijing the next day. When leaving Chongqing, the old man said: "In the future, I want to be buried with your grandmother."
After returning to Beijing, the old man was in a bad mood for several days. He kept sorting out old things and asked Luo Qiao to move the things he left for Xiao Yezi back to his room.
Everyone is actually very worried about him.
For this reason, Luo Qiao did not go back to the second courtyard, for fear that after they left, the old man would become even more depressed.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
It was not until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month when the children clamored for their great-grandfather to make lanterns for them that the old man completely returned to his previous state.
The family members are relieved.
The children will start school in a few days, so all five children were sent to the government kindergarten, with the three younger ones attending the junior class and the two older ones attending the preschool class.
In the past few days, Luo Qiao prepared small school bags and water bottles for them, as well as small beddings to take to kindergarten. Everything is ready and they are waiting for school to start.
