Chapter 823

Lao Zhou's funeral, in fact, didn't have much to say, it was ordinary, simple, and ordinary.

It's not a big deal. After cremation, he came back with the urn and simply set up a coffin in the courtyard of the old house.

There are not many relatives and friends to say goodbye, and the old Zhou family who came from the Guandong has no relatives in Jichun.

The main source of support for troubles here is the neighbors, and there are not many neighbors who come to the old Zhou's house, only the nearest few neighbors.

There are not many friends, and those who came here as friends are the three friends of Cai Xiaoguang and Zhou Bingkun.

"Dongmei, you can go back, take a good rest when you go back, and you still have to be busy with work in the hospital."

"Guangming, the worship is over, you should take your sister and children, go home and rest, I'm fine here alone."

"Feng Yue, you should go back with your dad too, there's no need to stay here forever."

Zhou Bingyi sent away Hao Dongmei, Zhou Bingkun sent away his family, Zhou Rong also sent away Feng Huacheng and Feng Yue, and there were only three left in Zhou's old house, Li Suhua and his siblings.

Li Suhua mourned in the house, and Zhou Bingkun mourned in the coffin shed in the courtyard.

"Bingyi, Zhou Rong, Bingkun, it's such a cold day, don't watch the spirit outside, you all go back to sleep."

After nine o'clock, Li Suhua came out of the house and told people to go back to the house.

The winter solstice has passed, and it is already the coldest time of the year. In Jichun and winter, it is often minus [-] to [-] degrees at night. If people are outside, even if they light a stove, it is unbearable.

"Okay, let's all go into the house. Those who are filial and not filial are not at this time."

Zhou Bingkun responded, and was the first to get up and go back to the house.

There is no point in trying to show filial piety when people are gone.

Zhou Bingkun felt that he had no guilt towards Lao Zhou, and he had done his best to Lao Zhou.

At this time, I went back to the house without any burden in my heart.

Zhou Bingkun guaranteed that Lao Zhou would have no worries about food and clothing, and that he would have a good old age without worrying about money.

This is a state that many old men and old ladies cannot wish for.

First, he took Lao Zhou to treat his illness in the capital. After Lao Zhou settled down, Zhou Bingkun paid for a nanny to take care of him.

Lao Zhou doesn't have to do anything at home, and he still has a nanny to take care of him.

There are thousands of households in the optical film, but few old men and old ladies can make a living.

As for the treatment of Lao Zhou in his later years, which old man in the text-only film, the old lady does not express her envy when she sees it.

Lao Zhou felt that his old age was not good, and it was more due to Lao Zhou himself.

After being unable to work on the construction site, Lao Zhou did not develop any decent hobbies for the elderly.

Find people chatting at the entrance of the alley, playing chess, playing cards, playing mahjong, performing Yangko, exercising, taking a walk, this kind of entertainment that can kill time, there is no such thing as old Zhou.

Passively and proactively not going out all day, staying at home, it is inevitable to feel bored and tortured.

In addition, there are no children who come back to visit, no children and grandchildren around the knees, naturally the most important family happiness for the elderly is missing.

Lao Zhou will inevitably feel that his life in his later years is unhappy, unhappy, and has little sense of experience.

But for Lao Zhou's emotional problems, he should go to Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong, and it has nothing to do with Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong were unwilling to give Lao Zhou emotional care, and only blamed Lao Zhou's own education.

Lao Zhou taught two people to be selfish, and if two people can be selfish and focus only on their own ideals, and do what they like, Lao Zhou should have the greatest satisfaction.

Lao Zhou should not be blamed, no one cares about his spirit and emotions.

Lao Zhou never gave Zhou Bingkun this aspect, and Zhou Bingkun naturally didn't need to give back this aspect.

Zhou Bingkun came to visit Lao Zhou every day, and Lao Zhou didn't care about Zhou Bingkun, nor could he make up for Lao Zhou's lack of emotion.

What Zhou Bingkun has to do is to repay the kindness of Lao Zhou's upbringing in material terms, the main thing is to pay, pay, or pay.

In terms of spending money, Zhou Bingkun has already done his best beyond his duty.

It is Lao Zhou who has been paying attention to face all his life, hoping that he can have a decent funeral, a grand funeral.

In fact, Zhou Bingkun can also help Lao Zhou realize it.

It's just that Zhou Bingyi decided to keep it simple, and Zhou Bingkun insisted on making a big deal, as if he wanted to deliberately harm Zhou Bingyi, so he didn't force it.

It's not worth it for Zhou Bingkun to quarrel with Zhou Bingyi for Lao Zhou's death.

"Let's go back to the house too, Dad won't want to see the two of us freezing outside."

Zhou Bingkun was in the best health and couldn't bear the cold. Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong's bodies couldn't bear it either. They entered the house a little later than Zhou Bingkun.

"Bingkun, why are you sitting at the door?"

Zhou Bingyi came in and asked in surprise when he saw Zhou Bingkun sitting on the recliner at the door.

"You go to rest on the kang, you are all old, fifty or more people, you need to rest better. I am guarding by the stove at the door, it is also warm, and you can be more cautious Outside."

Zhou Rong is 52, Zhou Bingyi is [-], these two are actually not young anymore.

Zhou Bingkun didn't really care about these two when he mentioned this, but just to find an excuse for himself to stay at the door.

The main thing is to guard against Li Suhua, and prevent Li Suhua from sneaking out at night.

"Okay, let's go to the back room to rest. If you can't hold on anymore, call me, and I'll replace you." Zhou Bingyi said politely, and went to the back room.

The two went to sleep on Li Suhua's kang, and by the way, they could accompany and comfort Li Suhua.

Yesterday I was on the road for a whole day, and today I have another day of funeral arrangements.

The past two days have been exhausting both physically and mentally.

After ten o'clock, Zhou Bingkun heard someone falling asleep in the back room.

Zhou Bingkun lay down on the recliner, put on a coat, and fell asleep.

"Bingkun, Bingkun, it's not cold for you to sleep in this doorway, you'd better go to sleep on the kang."

While sleeping soundly, Zhou Bingkun felt someone patting him.

"Mom, I'll just sleep here. Why did you wake up? Did I heat the kang too hot for you to fall asleep?"

"No, I miss your dad, I'll go outside and have a look."

Seeing that Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong were both snoring while sleeping, Li Suhua couldn't sleep well.

You know who cares about Lao Zhou the most.

"It's so cold outside, you'd better not go out, I'll help you look outside and it's over."

Zhou Bingkun didn't let Li Suhua go out, so he ran outside to look around.

The mourning shed was set up properly without being blown away. A few wreaths and paper-wrapped papers were well placed outside.

A stick of incense was added, some oil was added to the lamp, Zhou Bingkun went back to the house, Li Suhua was still standing at the door.

"Mom, I went outside to have a look. Everything that needs to be done is over. Go back and rest."

"Oh, I want to go out and be with your dad, otherwise he would be so lonely."

Seeing that Li Suhua was dressed neatly, it really didn't look like he just went out and looked around.

"Mom, what's the matter with the cold outside? How could I let you go out? Our whole family is here. It's the same with the old man in the house."

If you really don't care about Li Suhua, let Li Suhua go out to accompany Lao Zhou and freeze to death in front of Lao Zhou's spirit.

Li Suhua's death of Lao Zhou's love is very touching and romantic.

But this incident is actually quite cruel, whether it is for Li Suhua or the rest of the old Zhou family.

The feeling of being frozen to death was absolutely uncomfortable. Li Suhua wanted to go with Lao Zhou, but it was only a temporary impulse of negative emotions.

In fact, no matter how great the pain is, after time passes, it will become much smaller.

After the saddest period of time has passed, it is impossible for Li Suhua to have such thoughts again.

After the person who wanted to die was saved, very few people would have a second thought about dying.

It is enough to show that the nostalgia for life is the instinct of human beings.

"Then mom will accompany you at the door, it's closer to your dad."

"Alright then, I'll go and get your quilt. You can sleep on this recliner. I'll just move a chair and sit and rest for a while."

At this time, Zhou Bingkun looked at his watch, and the time was just past two o'clock in the morning.

Li Suhua felt sad and couldn't sleep, Zhou Bingkun slept for a few hours and was not so sleepy.

So he accompanied Li Suhua and started chatting.

Li Suhua began to recall the past again, starting from her marriage with Lao Zhou in her hometown in Shandong.

What Zhou Bingkun focused on was persuasion, to persuade Li Suhua to open up a little bit.

Without an old Zhou in his life, he would not be unable to live. In the first ten years of his life, Li Suhua lived quite well without an old Zhou.

The mother and son chatted until four or five o'clock before falling asleep again.

"Mom, Mom, it's time to get up? When did you come to sleep at the door, why didn't I know?"

The next day, when Zhou Bingyi wanted to go out and called Li Suhua to get up, Zhou Bingkun woke up.

"I'll explain this to you after I've finished dealing with Dad's affairs and I'm free." Zhou Bingkun opened his eyes and said.

After confirming that Li Suhua wanted to leave with Lao Zhou, Zhou Bingkun was not prepared to bear it alone.

Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong must be notified of this matter.

In a short period of time, Li Suhua's thoughts need to be focused on, and Zhou Bingkun can't pay attention to it alone.

Today is the third day after Lao Zhou left, and it is also the day to prepare for the burial.

It started to snow after eight o'clock, and it snowed heavily.

It was also a sad weather, and Lao Zhou was buried in the cemetery in this snowy weather.

Fewer people came to see Lao Zhou off at the cemetery for the last time.

The neighbors in the neighborhood are getting older, and if they don't have the energy, no one will come.

Even Zhou Bingkun’s friends are not young, they are the same age as Zhou Bingkun, some are a year or two older, and they are all around 50.

In the end, Zhou's family and Zhou Bingkun's friends, a total of more than a dozen people, sent Lao Zhou on his last journey.

The scene was very small, not decent at all, not even as good as the most ordinary people with light-text films, and it was very shameless to do it. It was definitely not Lao Zhou's favorite.

The scene was small, and the guests were not enough. Lao Zhou's valued Hao family, in-law Jin Yueji, did not show up during the whole process.

It's one thing to dislike Zhou's family, and another is that Jin Yueji is older, nearly eighty, and her health is not that good.

After returning from the cemetery, everyone in the old Zhou family returned to the old house together.

The funeral is over, but there are still other things that need to be mentioned.

For example, why did Lao Zhou suddenly faint again this time, and whether he was stimulated by something recently.

"Your dad, he hasn't been stimulated recently. He's fine, but suddenly he can't. The family has always been about the three of you. Bingyi is not born, Rong'er is not compatible, and Bingkun doesn't come back. Annoyance is annoyance, but He already knew it all, and it was not a sudden stimulus."

Lao Zhou did not, either because of long-term depression, or because the body really reached its limit.

The next one is to count the expenses of the past few days.

The funeral in the old house really highlights the simplicity of everything. Except for the cemetery, other expenses can only be considered.

The money is not a problem for Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi, even Cai Xiaoguang's Zhou Rong who is on the list.

After reaching the age of 50, it is finally not so difficult for Zhou Rong to take money.

"You have nothing to say, Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong, you two come out, I have something to say to you."

Zhou Bingkun was going to call Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong out of the back room to chat outside.

"What are you going to talk about?" Li Suhua asked.

"Mom, let's talk about our affairs and let the children chat with you. It's not easy to get together." Zhou Bingkun responded.

Li Suhua and his grandson, granddaughter, and granddaughter really don't have much time to talk together.

"...It was like this last night, so don't think that Lao Zhou is gone. The old house will take care of me. What about Mom? Let's talk about it?" Zhou Bingkun explained yesterday's situation to I said it again.

"Zhou Rong, I'm going back to the capital tomorrow. Bingkun probably won't be able to stay in Jichun for a few more days. Mom needs you to take care of me in the future. Don't just care about yourself when you have free time. Here's some snacks."

Although Zhou Bingyi is not in Jichun, Jichun still has Hao Dongmei. Zhou Bingyi should know more about Zhou Rong's situation than Zhou Bingkun.

"I went out with Xiaoguang's crew, not all for fun. I wanted to conduct field research and write more educational papers about different regions!"

Zhou Rong was originally a literary youth in her bones, and she always thought of herself as a literati from the bottom of her heart.

Going out for travel, of course, is not considered travel. There are too many excuses to find inspiration, collect stories, and do research.

Zhou Rong used all the excuses others used to fool the unit to fool herself.

Zhou Rong also wanted to fool others, so she believed it first.

If you want to fool others, you must fool yourself first.

"Then stop your research for a while. You have been doing research for the past few years, but you haven't found out what achievements you have made in academics, and how many papers have you written?"

Zhou Bingyi was a little bit tougher and continued.

After more than ten years of being a leader, Zhou Bingyi still has a stern face to teach others, but he is not angry and arrogant.

"Okay, then I'll take care of Mom more, and come back to visit when I'm free, can't you take care of me a little more?" Zhou Rong replied reluctantly.

"Didn't you hear what Dad said before he left? He hoped that I would go back to work in Jichun and do some practical things in Jichun. I want to go back to the capital as soon as possible and implement this matter as soon as possible."

In fact, Zhou Bingyi has done a good job in the ministries and commissions these years.
