Chapter 323

The Helan family's cemetery was built in a suburb not far away, where the trees were verdant, and the air was full of the smell of green grass and soil.

Rows of towering trees stand silently, as if silently mourning for the dead.

The funeral procession of He Lan's family stopped in front of a large earth pit that had already been dug, and the coffin stopped beside the mound of earth piled up into a small hill.

He Lanjing gestured to the diggers, and they began to slowly carry the coffin into the pit.

"Grandma!" He Lanming suddenly fell to his knees in front of the big pit with a 'plop', his face full of pain and reluctance.

In fact, he has been neglected in the backyard since he was a child, brought up by a nanny, and he has almost no grandchildren's relationship with the old lady.Now that he is so actively kneeling at the end of the coffin, people who don't know him think he is very filial, only Yan Xiaoxiao and his family of three scoff in their hearts.

This He Lanming really knows how to act, secretly wishing that the old lady would die soon, but in front of others he pretended to be heartbroken.People who didn't know thought that the dead person was his own mother who gave birth to him and raised him!
He Lanjing looked at this son, walked up to him, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder comfortingly, and said slowly: "Ming'er, if my mother's spirit in heaven knows that you have such filial piety, she will be very pleased."

"I've never shown any filial piety in front of my grandma. I didn't expect such an accident to happen to her." He Lanming raised his head and looked at He Lanjing with a sad face, "Father, I know grandma doesn't like me. Over the years, I have been working hard silently, and I hope that one day I can be recognized by her elders. It's just that I didn't expect that she would leave so suddenly."

"Your hard work, I know it in my heart, and I believe my mother knows it too." He Lanjing looked at the coffin that was gradually buried in the loess, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Thinking about He Lanming, for so many years, not only the old lady didn't like him, but also the father himself never fulfilled his responsibilities.

"Father, I know that my talent is not as good as my sister's, but you once said 'Stupid birds fly first, hard work can make up for their weakness', I dare not forget your teaching, and I will keep it in my heart all the time." He Lanming looked up at him, but his heart was full. Lengheng, He Lanjing didn't say this to encourage himself back then, but to mock him for not having the talent to be a hunter.

And later, He Lanming really used this sentence to motivate himself, never forget He Lanjing's insult to him, sooner or later he will impress him.

Behind them, other relatives of the Helan family knelt on the ground far away, quietly waiting for the coffin to enter the tomb with their heads down.

Except for immediate family members, no one else has the opportunity to approach the old lady's grave.

And because of Yan Xiaoxiao's daughter-in-law status, her two "cousins", big and small, were fortunate enough to be by Yan Xiaoxiao's side at close range.

Soon, the tomb was filled with soil, and then gradually a small protruding mound was piled up.

He Lanjing ordered someone to erect the engraved tombstone in front of the tomb, and cleaned up the weeds on the tomb himself.

When he knelt down in front of the grave, He Lankang and He Lanyi and his wife also knelt behind him one after another.

"Mama, do we need to kneel too?" Yan Zile asked in a low voice that only the three of them could hear.

"En." Yan Xiaoxiao nodded to him, and knelt down not far from He Lanjing.

Yan Zile curled his lips in displeasure, and muttered in a low voice: "But, Daddy and I don't know her."

Yan Xiaoxiao taught him since he was a child, that a man has gold under his knees, it is okay to kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents, but kneeling to others is absolutely not acceptable.

Yan Zile has always kept these words in his heart, so of course he doesn't want to kneel down to Mrs. Helan now.After all, in his eyes, the members of the Helan family were all strangers.How could the gold below his knees be able to kneel out so easily?

"The person sleeping in this underground is my grandma, that is, your great-grandmother. Although you don't know her, and she doesn't know you, they are related by blood. It's only natural for you to kneel to her." Yan Xiaoxiao looked sideways. Glancing at Chu Heng, he said slowly, "As for you, Ah Heng, it's okay not to kneel."

His identity is the prince of the blood clan, and it is indeed a bit difficult for him to kneel down to worship a hunter.

"You kneel and I kneel too." Chu Heng is informal in this regard, anyway, he has decided to make Yan Xiaoxiao his own, so her grandma can be regarded as his grandma indirectly, and kneeling to worship the dead can be regarded as his A kind of etiquette.

"Daddy kneels and I kneel too." Seeing that his daddy had compromised, Yan Zile didn't need to hold back anymore.

Because Mama also said that a man should be able to bend and stretch.

After everyone knelt down, headed by He Lanjing, they kowtowed to the old lady's grave.After kowtowing three times, he stood up slowly, took off the white mourning hat he was wearing, and placed it behind the grave.

After finishing all the ceremonies, He Lanjing turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly found two people standing at the entrance of the cemetery.

One of them, Yan Xiaoxiao, also knew her. With short natural curly hair and blue eyes as deep as the sea, it was William.Kate.

And the other person looks to be seven or eighty years old, and he is a very energetic old man.He looks like William.Kate is somewhat similar, with deep facial features, snow-white hair, and a snow-white beard.He was leaning on a solid wood dragon-head crutch in his hand, and he was wearing a dark black tuxedo suit. Even though he was getting old, he still looked like a very graceful old gentleman.

He had a painful expression on his face, his back was straight, and he looked at old man Helan's tombstone without blinking.

This person is the head of the William family—Old William.

He just had a phone conversation with Mrs. He Lan a few days ago to discuss the marriage of the two families.Unexpectedly, just three days later, the news of Mrs. He Lan's death came.

Even before he had time to look at her again, she had already died.

When He Lanjing saw their grandparents and grandchildren, he probably guessed their identities.He strode over, bowed slightly to them, and then asked aloud, "Are you two here to worship my mother?"

Old William didn't look at him, his eyes were still fixed on the tombstone.After a while, he trembled his lips and said in a trembling voice: "Pei Yun, I didn't expect that I was in a hurry, but I was still late."

"Yes, Mr. Holland." William.Kate nodded to He Lanjing, and then asked aloud, "My grandfather and Mrs. He Lan have been friends for decades. Can we go to the old lady's grave to worship?"

"Of course." After He Lanjing finished speaking, he took a step back to the side, giving way to their grandparent and grandson.
