Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 70 This House is Left to You
"Uncle, please hold on for now. I will go to the production team and borrow a donkey cart to take you to the hospital!"

"No, no need. I know my body. It's already beyond saving!"

When Xu Guangshan saw that Li Guoqiang was about to leave, his already exhausted body suddenly burst out with strength. He then hurriedly reached out and grabbed Li Guoqiang's clothes tightly, speaking intermittently.

Li Guoqiang paused when he heard this, then looked at Xu Guangshan with a serious expression.

"I'm sorry! I gave you such a high lodging fee before. There is a map drawn on this newspaper. If you follow the map, you can find the hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Just consider it as my apology to you!"

Xu Guangshan slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a very ugly smile, then reached out from the quilt and slowly took out a yellowed newspaper and stuffed it into Li Guoqiang's hand.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly wanted to refuse.

However, before he could say anything, Xu Guangshan suddenly grabbed his hand tightly, and his cloudy and lifeless eyes also burst into an expectant look.

"Remember to help me take good care of Dani and your aunt. This home is now in your hands!"

After saying this, Xu Guangshan stared at Li Guoqiang while breathing heavily.

"Uncle, don't worry! I will definitely help you take good care of them!"

Li Guoqiang's nose felt sore, then he nodded seriously and promised.

"Whoo~"

When Xu Guangshan heard this, his expression suddenly relaxed and he let out a long breath.

Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani who were kneeling on the other side, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"Old man!"

"uncle!"

When Qu Yinfeng and Li Guoqiang saw this, their hearts suddenly tightened, and then they cried out in grief.

When Xu Dani heard their voices, she seemed to realize that Xu Guangshan was dead. She immediately threw herself on Xu Guangshan and burst into tears, "Wu~ Grandpa, Grandpa, don't you want Dani anymore?"

"Grandpa, Grandpa"

After a while, Li Guoqiang was the first to come to his senses and hurriedly reached out to help Qu Yinfeng up.

"Auntie, please don't be so sad. The most important thing now is to prepare for the old man's funeral so that he can die in peace!"

Hearing this, Qu Yinfeng looked at Li Guoqiang with a sad face, then nodded and said, "Yes, you are right, we should let the old man pass away in peace."

"Qiangzi, please help take care of Dani first. I'll go ask the men in the tribe to come and help!"

"Wait a minute!"

Li Guoqiang saw that Qu Yinfeng wanted to invite people, so he quickly reached out and held her back, then said in a deep voice: "Auntie, you and uncle are a couple, so it's unreasonable for you to go out and invite people. I think you should tell me the rules and let me take Dani to invite people!"

"Then thank you for your help!"

Qu Yinfeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded gratefully and agreed.

Then, she suppressed her grief and carefully told Li Guoqiang the rules of reporting a death here.

"Dani, come on, I'll go with you to invite someone!"

After hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly put on his and Xu Dani's clothes, then hugged Xu Dani, holding a flashlight, and hurriedly ran towards Xu Guangfu's home.

Soon, he called out Xu Guangfu who was sleeping, and asked Xu Dani to kneel directly on the snow.

"Captain, Dani's grandfather has passed away. Please go over and help her out as the receptionist!"

"Dani, kowtow!"

Hearing this, Xu Dani hurriedly kowtowed to Xu Guangfu.

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu hurriedly stepped forward with a serious expression and helped Xu Dani up, then quickly turned back to the house to put on his clothes and pick up his pipe.

Then, without saying anything, he waved his hand to signal Li Guoqiang to take Xu Dani with him. Soon, the originally quiet little mountain village was broken by a series of hurried footsteps.

By the time Li Guoqiang carried Xu Dani and Xu Guangfu back, the gate of Xu Dani's house was already filled with thirty or forty men, young and old.

Xu Guangfu glanced at everyone, then waved his hand to signal Li Guoqiang to take Xu Dani back to the house first.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly carried Xu Dani into the house.

At this time, Qu Yinfeng had already placed Xu Guangshan in the outer room, covering him with a layer of white cloth.

When Xu Guangfu saw that Li Guoqiang and Xu Dani had already entered the house, he immediately walked quietly through the gate and walked quickly into the house.

The others followed closely behind and formed a line.

After a while, after visiting the funeral and returning the gifts, Xu Guangfu, Xu Guanglu, and several elders of the clan went into the inner room and discussed Xu Guangshan's funeral with Qu Yinfeng.

First of all, it’s about the coffin.

Due to an accident that happened that year, the funeral supplies prepared by the family for Xu Guangshan and Qu Yinfeng had already been used. Later, because the family's life was not very affluent, they were unable to prepare them in advance.

So, now I have to find a way to find someone to buy a set of coffin supplies.

After hearing about this, someone quickly provided several solutions. The only thing missing was money.

After all, if you want to ask someone to give up their existing funeral supplies in an emergency, it will definitely cost more money.

Seeing Qu Yinfeng's embarrassed look, Li Guoqiang took out fifty yuan from the inner pocket of his cotton-padded jacket and put it on the kang table.

"Captain, this money is for your guest expenses. Please take care of it and make the arrangements!"

"to make!"

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu couldn't help but look at Li Guoqiang in surprise. Then he saw that Qu Yinfeng didn't say anything, so he didn't say much and just nodded and agreed.

As the saying goes, money makes things easier.

Soon, Xu Guangfu arranged matters such as purchasing funeral supplies and choosing a cemetery.

When everyone heard the order, they hurriedly started to work on their own things.

Since Li Guoqiang was a person of an outsider family, he could not get involved in many things, and no one was willing to let him get involved, so he could only take care of Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani, and assist Xu Guangfu in handling some logistical matters.

For example, passing cigarettes and water to everyone, making fire and cooking, etc.

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.

After eating breakfast of cornmeal porridge, roasted potatoes, and roasted sweet potatoes cooked by Li Guoqiang, Xu Guanglu immediately took his men to the ancestral tomb of the Xu family in the back mountain to select a cemetery. He also brought hundreds of kilograms of firewood and tools such as hoes and shovels to burn the ground, thaw it, and dig the soil.

While others were busy with burial, mourning and other matters.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, when Xu Guanglu and his men came back after preparing the cemetery, because grand ceremonies were not in vogue these days and for some special reasons, everyone immediately began to arrange the funeral.

Accompanied by Li Guoqiang, Xu Dani cried and sent Xu Guangshan to the cemetery. Then after a simple burial ceremony, she was carried back by Li Guoqiang crying.

Then, everyone cleared the mourning hall and took the hemp clothes and other funeral items outside for cremation.

Before long, the house returned to its previous state, as if nothing had happened.

Then, under the leadership of Tian Guihua, a dozen old ladies and young wives directly occupied two stoves, and used pickled meat, sauerkraut, potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat flour, corn flour and other things brought from each household to cook more than a dozen tables of meals. They invited all the people in the clan to come and have a meal, and have a great time at Xu Dani's house.

By the time everyone had left one after another, it was already past two in the afternoon.

After seeing off Xu Guangfu and Tian Guixiang who stayed to settle the bill, Li Guoqiang walked into the inner room and saw Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani sitting on the kang with sad looks on their faces. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Then, just as he was about to turn around and go out to take inventory of the supplies in the house, Xu Dani suddenly jumped down from the fire pit, reached out from behind and hugged him.

"Big brother, don't go!"
