Time flies, years fly by, and a few months have passed like this.

In the middle of the night, Yan Jiecheng and his family were sleeping. Suddenly, when they heard the sermon, it became noisy again outside.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li also woke up, and Yan Jiecheng said slightly dissatisfied: "What happened again?"

“It’s hard to get a good night’s sleep in the middle of the night.”

"Okay, go take a look quickly!" Yu Li urged.

"I know, I'll go right away." Yan Jiecheng said helplessly.

Then, Yan Jiecheng went to put on his clothes and pants, ready to see what was going on.

At this moment, someone knocked on his door. Yan Jiecheng shouted: "Here we come, stop knocking."

But the visitor was still knocking on the door, so Yan Jiecheng had to speed up and shout: "They all said, stop knocking, why are you still knocking!"

When Yan Jiecheng opened the door and found Yan Bugui, he said, "Dad, what's going on this late at night!"

"If the old lady is dying, we are all here." Yan Bugui said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui hurriedly walked to the old lady's house.

When he went in, he found Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu kneeling in grief in front of the old lady's bed.

The old lady was still struggling to speak to He Yuzhu: "Let me take a good look at you again."

"Old woman, I'm going to die."

……

At this moment, when the old lady saw Yan Jiecheng, she weakly shouted: "Young man Yan..."

Hearing her voice, Yan Jiecheng immediately walked over and said, "Old lady, I'm here. If you need anything, just tell me."

The old lady looked at He Yuzhu and then said: "Help me... take care of... Zhu."

"I will, old lady, don't worry!" Yan Jiecheng said.

After seeing Yan Jiecheng's agreement, the old lady said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, madam... I can't wait until the day when your... child is born..."

"No, no." He Yuzhu cried and said.

……

"Old woman, I'm...tired."

"Let me...have a good...sleep!" the old lady said weakly.

"No, don't sleep!" He Yuzhu cried and shouted.

But the old lady's eyes still started to wander, and then she started talking nonsense.

……

At this moment, the old lady's eyes closed completely, and even the hand on He Yuzhu's head fell.

When everyone saw this situation, they all knew that the old lady was gone, and they all started crying.

After a while, Yi Zhonghai cheered up and said to everyone: "Everyone, come out!"

Then, he asked Aunt Yi and the others to bring the shroud and put it on the old lady...

Because the old lady has no relatives around her, and no one knows where her hometown is?

In addition, cremation was practiced in Sijiucheng in this era, so the old lady could only be cremated.

There is also the fact that the old lady is a "five-guarantee household" and the state also "buries" her. When the old lady dies, people on the street have to be notified.

Everyone could only cry in the courtyard and miss the old lady's departure. No one dared to come out to cause trouble at this time.

Soon, at dawn, the funeral home's car arrived.

The staff carried the old lady into the car, and Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu followed them to cremate the body.

Then, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui directed everyone to decorate the mourning hall and prepare the necessary things.

It wasn't until almost 10 o'clock that Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu came back. He Yuzhu was walking in front carrying the urn, and Yi Zhonghai was walking behind.

Then the old lady's urn was placed in the mourning hall. Under the command of the staff on the street, Yi Zhonghai was regarded as the old lady's son and He Yuzhu was regarded as the grandson.

The two of them kept vigil for the old lady, while the others served as mourners and offered incense to the old lady.

Although feudal superstitions are not allowed, after the old man passes away, his family is still allowed to hold a funeral.

After learning about the old lady's death, people from other courtyards, leaders of the steel rolling mill, and some people who didn't know her whereabouts all came to mourn the old lady.

In this way, the old lady's urn was placed in the courtyard for two days, and then Yi Zhonghai and the others sent it to the funeral parlor for storage.

Otherwise, they would have no place to place the old lady’s urn.

……

In this way, after the old lady passed away, a funeral was held in the courtyard, and everyone participated in mourning.

Then, everyone continued to forget about this matter and went back to live their own lives.

The same goes for Yan Jiecheng. He is not a fool, and his relationship with the old lady is not that deep.

Of course, he promised the old lady that he would take care of Silly Zhu.

In this way, another two or three days passed, and it was Sunday.

When Yan Jiecheng was playing in the courtyard with his two children, he met He Yuzhu.

Yan Jiecheng saw He Yuzhu still looking listless and depressed.

I just know that He Yuzhu hasn’t gotten over the old lady’s death yet.

He found He Yuzhu and said to him: "He Yuzhu is fine, the old lady has left."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was also angry. He shouted: "What do you know?"

"I believe that the old lady doesn't want to see you like this." Yan Jiecheng said.

Hearing these words, He Yuzhu managed to cheer up and said, "Do you know? The old lady is my dearest person!"

"I know you miss the old lady very much, but what you have to do is cheer up so that the old lady can rest assured." Yan Jiecheng said.

"Especially if you have children early."

"Before the old lady left, she was worried about you." Yan Jiecheng said again.

"I understand." He Yuzhu said.

After hearing what he said, Yan Jiecheng went to take the children to play. He also hoped that He Yuzhu could cheer up.

Then he took the children to Yi Zhonghai's house. Yi Zhonghai saw him coming and said, "Jie Cheng, why are you here?"

"Call Uncle Yi quickly." Yan Jiecheng asked the two children to call someone quickly.

"Uncle Yi." Both children shouted in unison.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this shouting, he also laughed. He found two pieces of candy from home and gave one to each of them.

"I see something is wrong with Brother Zhuzi's situation!"

"How about you go and persuade him." Yan Jiecheng said.

"He has a deep relationship with the old lady, that's why he is so sad. It will be fine in a few days." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Okay then!" Yan Jiecheng said.

"Don't worry! I will pay more attention to him." Yi Zhonghai said.

Then the two chatted for a while, and then Yan Jiecheng took the child home.

When he got home, he let the children play by themselves while he and Yu Li chatted there.
