Chapter 64 I don’t have a grandpa anymore (1st update)
The mourning hall was decorated, and someone came to carry Zhao Changlong to the ancestral hall.
As soon as Zhao Jing accompanied Zhao Xiaoya to the ancestral hall, she placed incense sticks on Zhao Changlong and walked out.
Then everyone in the village went to burn a stick of incense, and Zhao Xiaoya, as his granddaughter, knelt inside to burn paper for him and keep vigil.
Wang Guihua didn't know when she came to her side, and asked with concern: "Auntie, are you okay?"
Zhao Jing glanced at her and shook her head: "I'm fine. Tell Jianting to break the basin and let Xiaoya come. If anyone else has any opinions, let him come and tell me."
Wang Guihua glanced at Zhao Xiaoya who was kneeling inside, and nodded: "Okay, I'll go tell him right now."
Zhao Changlong had no children in his life. He lost his wife in his early years, so he found Zhao Xiaoya in the snow and raised her.
Before he died, the one he couldn't let go of the most was Zhao Xiaoya. Instead of letting other people from Zhaojiacun throw basins, it would be better to let Zhao Xiaoya come.
This can be regarded as the final act of filial piety.
Outside the ancestral hall.
"This is against the rules. How can you let your daughter's family break the pot? What's more, Zhao Xiaoya is not my uncle's granddaughter. No, I don't agree with this."
Zhao Changshan is the village chief of Zhaojia Village. When he heard this, his face turned dark.
Wang Guihua was startled when he suddenly shouted loudly: "My aunt said, if you have any objections, go tell her."
Zhao Changshan was originally very angry, but upon hearing these words, his arrogance instantly dropped by three points.
Sensing their gaze, the old man's face heated up and he said calmly: "No matter what, I won't agree to it. This is against the rules."
As soon as Zhao Jing walked out of it, she happened to hear the last sentence and asked: "What's against the rules?"
Everyone: "Auntie."
Zhao Jing responded lightly, looked at the village chief Zhao Changshan and asked, "What's against the rules?"
Zhao Changshan said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Gu, it's against the rules to ask Zhao Xiaoya to throw the basin."
Zhao Jing looked at him without saying anything, and Zhao Changshan felt a little inexplicably guilty when she saw him.
But he still said stubbornly: "It's really against the rules..."
Zhao Jingyi sneered, looking at Zhao Changshan with a more oppressive look: "Rules are dead, people are alive, or do you mean that I, an elder, don't work anymore? Huh?"
The last um made Zhao Changshan, who was already nervous, become even more nervous. He shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, I, I didn't mean that..."
As soon as Zhao Jing withdrew her gaze, she directly slapped the case: "That's not what I meant. That's it. If other people have opinions, let them come and talk to me. Do you understand?"
With the last word, his eyes swept over everyone.
Everyone nodded quickly: "I understand."
Zhao Jing nodded with satisfaction, turned around and was about to go in. She took two steps and then stopped.
He turned to look at them and said: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. Zhao Xiaoya will live with me from now on. Those who have ideas about her, please put away your petty thoughts."
Everyone nodded quickly to show that they understood.
As soon as Zhao Changlong left, there would be people in the village who wanted to attract Zhao Xiaoya's attention. As a laborer and a girl, it was not uncommon for someone to arrange a marriage in exchange for a betrothal gift or something.
Zhao Jing took the opportunity to speak out about it, which stopped their thoughts.
Every household in the village contributes a small amount of money to pay for the errands. Since Zhao Changlong has no other relatives except Zhao Xiaoya, everyone in the village contributes the money together.
If he had a son or something, there would be no need for anyone from the village to help.
On the third day, after Zhao Xiaoya and the people in the village buried Zhao Changlong, everything returned to normal.
(I won’t write more for fear of being banned. You can make up this paragraph by yourself. The author is afraid of being banned╥﹏╥).
Zhao Xiaoya was reluctant to move in with Zhao Jingyi at first, but Zhao Jingyi was worried that she would be alone at home, which made her confused.
Taking Zhao Xiaozhen and Zhao Xiaofu, the three of them went to her house, packed up all her things, and dragged her home.
No matter how hard she tried, she didn't want to. In the end, it was Zhao Jing who came up with Zhao Changlong's words and stabilized her.
But these three girls were exhausted.
Zhao Jing's family has three rooms, one belongs to her, one belongs to her deceased parents, and the other is vacant.
Zhao Jing tidied up the room and gave it to Zhao Xiaoya.
Zhao Jing looked at Zhao Xiaozhen and Zhao Xiaofu and said, "You go back first. I'll have a chat with Xiaoya. You can come back in a few days."
Zhao Xiaozhen and Zhao Xiaofu nodded, and Zhao Xiaofu said with concern: "Okay, Auntie, you should also take care of your health."
Zhao Jing smiled: "I know, don't worry."
"Then let's go first."
"Um."
The others left Zhao Jingyi, closed the door, walked into Zhao Xiaoya's room, and watched her sitting on the kang without saying a word, holding a wooden carved kitten in her hand.
Zhao Jing sat next to her and said, "Cry if you want to. You don't have to hold it back."
Zhao Xiaoya's eyes turned red instantly, and tears fell one by one.
She cried sadly and said, "Auntie, I don't have a grandpa anymore."
When Zhao Jing heard this, her nose felt sore and she almost burst into tears. She hugged her and said softly: "You still have me, and I will always be with you."
Zhao Xiaoya burst into tears, and the death of Zhao Changlong almost broke her whole body.
Zhao Jing hugged her and let her vent, crying for a long time. Zhao Xiaoya finally fell asleep crying.
Zhao Jing put her on the kang, covered her with a quilt, went out and poured a pot of water in, put it on the table next to the kang, and wiped the tears on her face with a clean towel before going out.
She had been exhausted these past few days, and she was worried that Zhao Xiaoya would not be able to think about it, so she would guard her and not dare to sleep.
Zhao Jing yawned and said to the system with tears in her eyes: "Please help me keep an eye on Zhao Xiaoya. When she wakes up, wake me up. I'm so sleepy, please sleep for a while."
System: good host.
As soon as Zhao Jing returned to the room and changed her clothes, she lay down on the kang, covered herself with a quilt, closed her eyes, and fell asleep quickly.
They slept until dark and neither of them woke up.
In the end, Zhao Jing was awakened by one of the three emergencies.
When she woke up, she found that the whole room was dark. Zhao Jing rubbed her eyes and face, stretched and asked the system.
"what time is it."
System: 7:30 in the evening.
Zhao Jingyi was a little surprised that she had slept for so long, so she quickly took out a candle and lit it.
I didn’t forget that Zhao Xiaoya was still asleep in the opposite room, so I asked: “Is Xiaoya awake?”
System: Not yet.
Zhao Jing was relieved as soon as she took the candle and walked out, lit the candle in the kitchen, and then went to the toilet.
I was just getting ready to cook, but it was already dark, so I didn’t eat lunch or dinner.
I washed my hands and took out the dishes and rice from the space.
As soon as I washed the rice and put it in the pot to cook, I heard movement in the next room.
Zhao Jing walked over to the candles and opened the door.
Seeing Zhao Xiaoya sitting up, he asked: "I woke up, are you feeling better?"
By the way, light the candles in the room.
Zhao Xiaoya nodded, her voice a little hoarse: "I'm awake, I'm much better, my great aunt, thank you."
