Xue Ling took her daughter's water glass and took a sip.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, either waiting or expecting, being embarrassed or asking for help, waiting silently for her to speak.
Xue Ling looked haggard, still immersed in grief and sadness.
"I heard every word of what you just said."
Cheng Tianyuan turned his head and slowly stretched out a gentle hand.
Xue Ling put down the cup and reached out to hold his hand.
"I agree with what your father said. Since this is ***'s last wish, then do as she said. As sons, daughters-in-law, and descendants, we should not disobey the old man again when he is dying."
Cheng Tianyuan burst into tears and squeezed Xue Ling's hand tightly, his arms trembling slightly.
Xue Ling hugged his trembling arm and snuggled against his side, giving him the most solid and silent support.
Everyone was stunned. They never expected that Xue Ling would agree with Cheng Tianyuan, the only one who persisted.
"Sister-in-law!" Cheng Tianfang was the first to speak: "This - this is not good. Mom can't move now, and the journey is so long. We can't get to Rongcheng in a short while. And - and our relatives and friends
They are all here, so if the funeral is held here, it will be more grand."
Xue Ling sighed faintly: "The funeral is for people to see, and it has nothing to do with mom. She has always wanted to go back to her hometown to spend her last days, and tried to hold the funeral there. Because of our own convenience, or because of face, we
If we go against the old lady's last wish, then we must be at fault. This is ***'s funeral, as long as the old lady feels at ease, it doesn't matter if it's grand or not."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but in the end they all chose to remain silent.
Xue Ling's voice was slightly higher: "Mom is a foreigner, and she married to Chengjia Village to be her father's wife. In that era, daughters were the spoils of the married daughter. Mom is a foreigner's daughter-in-law, and she wants to be buried in
When she was with her father on the mountain in Chengjia Village, she had to stay in Chengjia Village for the funeral. This was an old custom in the past, but many of it has been broken now, but she only remembered the old customs, and she was scared and worried. Although she
She is not clear-headed, but she has always been worried about this matter. So, for her sake, we have to do this."
Tears fell from the corners of Cheng Tianyuan's eyes, he sniffed and avoided his face.
Xue Ling continued: "For our career, to take care of our grandchildren, and to take care of each other, my parents left their hometown and came to the Imperial Capital, where they stayed for more than thirty years. They may not like the cold winter in the Imperial Capital.
You may not like the food here in the imperial capital, but they endured everything for us. They have been able to make do with us for so many years, why can't you take a few days off or go to Rongcheng? They can do it in decades
If you do it in one go, why are you in trouble for a few days? Huh?"
Everyone buried their heads one after another, embarrassed and embarrassed.
Indeed, when everyone calmed down after being sad, their first reaction was to make the funeral as convenient as possible, but no one cared whether the real protagonist of the funeral liked it or not.
No matter how grand and lively the funeral is, the protagonist doesn't care at all and can't enjoy it, because others are doing it and watching.
No matter how inconvenient or unfamiliar it is to go to Chengjia Village, it will only take a few days at most.
Everyone doesn’t have to worry about finances at all. You are not the kind of person who can’t survive without working for a few days. Why should you be so pretentious that you can’t take a few days off and go to the countryside for a few days!
Xue Ling stopped and suddenly changed his tone.
"No more talking, it's decided. Ah Heng, go and contact the medical vehicle. Cooperate with Ah Huan at the hospital. Be sure to lend us all the instruments we need. We are willing to pay any amount of rent.*
**My body can’t last that long, so I’ll contact an old friend to borrow a plane. I’ll pack everything tonight and set off south early tomorrow morning. I can reach the new airport just built in Rongcheng in two hours.”
Cheng Tianyuan coughed slightly and continued: "The younger generation will buy their own tickets and go south tomorrow, and they must arrive before evening. My parents and I, as well as Ah Hu, Wang Qing, Ah Heng and Ah Fang are all older, so we
Fly to Rongcheng on a private plane.”
"good!"
"yes!"
Xue Yang was extremely hesitant and asked in a low voice: "Dad, Mom, we - we still have two little ones, what should we do?"
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and said: "Xiaoyu and Xiaopeng are ***'s great-grandsons. According to tradition, they have to attend the funeral. But Xiaoxiao has a big belly... I'm afraid it's not very convenient."
"Yes!" Xue Yang explained awkwardly: "The two little ones are too young to sit on the plane!"
"Let's do this." Xue Ling suggested: "Lao Chen drove your family of four south in a nanny car, taking the two nannies with him. Their overtime pay at night will be added, and they will be settled with their wages at the end of the month.
You immediately tell them to pack their own things and the children's daily necessities. The car is big enough and the space is wide enough. It can be packed in any way. There is a bed inside and a stroller can be placed inside. Xiaoxiao can rest and move around in the car. There are familiar people
The nanny is here, so you don’t have to worry about having no one to take care of the two little ones. Old Chen will drive the car to the gate of the villa in Chengjia Village, which is very convenient."
"Okay!" Xue Yang nodded hurriedly: "I'll contact Xiaoxiao right away. However, it may be a little late to drive... You have to wait for us."
Cheng Tianyuan sighed sadly: "Don't worry, grandma will be waiting for you."
Xiao Huzi scratched his head in embarrassment and hesitated: "What about me and Xiao Huzi? I am the grandson of my godfather, and he is also a great-grandson, so he must be able to get through it. But that brat is too difficult to take care of. My parents both have to.
I'm busy with the funeral, and both Yoyo and Mini Tiger are still in the South Island. This brat is very naughty, and I don't usually take him with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it by myself."
"We will help you." Xue Xin said with a thick nasal voice: "Little Tiger is already in kindergarten and middle class, and can go to the toilet by himself. Just watch him and don't run around, and feed him three meals."
Cheng Huanran nodded in agreement: "There are so many adults, just take turns to help. The villa is big enough and has enough rooms. It's more than enough for everyone to live in. Remember to bring a children's car, so he can sit in it at any time.
Once he can sleep, I can throw him in the car and push him around in airports and other crowded places, which is very convenient."
Little Huzi's eyes were bright: "Great! Please remember to help me more! I have a children's car at home, and I will throw it in the trunk when I get back."
Chen Xinzhi took out his mobile phone and raised his voice: "Seniors all fly on private jets, we book our own flights. I am a gold medal member of the airline. You all send your ID cards and I will book you a flight to Rongcheng tomorrow morning."
"Is there a flight in the morning?" Ahu reminded: "I heard that there is only one flight to and from the imperial capital a day! It's so urgent now, can I book a ticket?"
Chen Xinzhi nodded: "Don't worry, I will contact the manager over there directly."
Everyone took out their mobile phones and sent their ID numbers and names to Chen Xinzhi.
Xue Ling waved his hand and said tiredly: "Okay, let's pack up and leave early tomorrow morning."
