Chapter 134 Why did Mr. Zhou fall for her?
Zhuang Zhoucheng spread out his hands, and Huo Yan took the initiative to hug him.
She knew he liked her hand because when he appeared, his first action was undoubtedly to pull her hand.
The second is that I like to hug her.
Taking the initiative to approach him is considered to be pleasing him.
"Call me if you need anything. Do you remember the number?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng gently rubbed her dark head with his big palm, his voice was low and slow, which was very different from his usual indifference.
"I remember. I saved it on my phone."
Huo Yan's face was pressed against his chest, and he was incredibly obedient.
At this moment, Zhuang Zhoucheng wanted to go with her.
But in the end, rationality prevailed. A smile appeared on his lips. He kissed her on the top of her head, let her go, and said:
"Is the dress white or black?"
"White."
Huo Yan looked at him. Putting aside the fact that he had forced himself on her, her care and help at this moment really touched her.
Zhuang Zhoucheng handed her the clothes.
This was brought by Lu Zeng this morning. Her mother's hometown had already been contacted and was waiting for her to send the ashes back.
Huo Yan sat beside the bed, and Zhuang Zhoucheng half-knelt in front of her, changing the bandage on her knee and then wrapping it with thick gauze.
This time I would have to kneel again, so I just put on a few more layers.
He wrapped the tape around her, placed his big hand on her knees, and said:
"Take good care of yourself and don't be so willful. You are an adult, okay?"
Huo Yan nodded, and when he looked up, his eyes were inexplicably wet.
Zhuang Zhoucheng pulled her into his arms in a rare good temper and whispered a few words of comfort:
"Don't cry. Tears are for the weak. You're not a child anymore. When your mother was alive, someone planned things for you. Now that your mother is gone, you have to learn to think for yourself. Life goes on. Be brave, good girl."
"Ah."
Huo Yan wiped her tears and nodded.
Zhuang Zhoucheng pulled Huo Yan downstairs, had breakfast there, and then went directly to the funeral home.
Zhuang Zhoucheng also went over, holding Huo Yan's hand, and accompanied her to pick up her mother from the funeral home.
The ceremony was held by the funeral home, and it was the most grand one.
After the ceremony, Huo Yan walked out holding his mother's urn, his eyes red.
Before Huo Yan got on the car, Zhuang Zhoucheng gave another reminder:
"Call me if you have anything, don't be willful, okay?"
Huo Yan nodded with red eyes, then got into Lu Zeng's car.
Lu Zeng rolled down the car window and said:
"Master, we'll leave first. It takes three hours to get to Qingjiang. I heard that the burial can't be done after noon."
Although you don't necessarily have to believe it, you still have to follow local customs.
Zhuang Zhoucheng nodded and got into the car.
Lu Zeng started driving only after Zhuang Zhoucheng's car drove away, and drove all the way to Qingjiang.
In Lu Zeng's car, he and Suo He were in the front, and Guo Ran and Huo Yan were in the back.
Huo Yan had a bare face, and the only decoration was the small white flower on her head that Zhuang Zhoucheng had pinned for her.
He sat quietly holding his mother's urn, not saying a word since getting on the car.
The car arrived in the town after three hours. The car could only be parked in a parking lot outside the town because the streets in the town were too narrow for the car to pass through.
When the car arrived, there were already people waiting there. Several officials from the town were there, and the rest were old neighbors, as well as some "mourning teams" that came from nowhere.
When Huo Yan got off the car holding his mother's urn, the funeral team quickly started crying loudly.
Huo Yan frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him.
To be honest, she felt a nameless anger burning in her heart.
She didn't think this was something that should be watched by so many people.
This should have been a sad day for one person, but it became a day for the whole town to watch the fun.
Looking back at Lu Zeng coldly, Lu Zeng got out of the car and said:
"Let your mother pass away in a dignified manner. That way you can have more face. I think setting up a hundred tables won't be a problem."
Huo Yan was so angry that his face turned blue. He gritted his teeth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Holding the urn, he ignored all the people who came to greet him and walked towards his home.
Huo Yan's home is her grandmother's home.
Huo Yan wasn't familiar with the neighbors, but they all came to pay their respects.
Lu Zeng thought he could finish the job today. He just had to dig the tomb, put the box in, and then treat everyone to a meal and be done with it.
But obviously things were not as simple as he thought.
The people invited to handle the funeral had their own procedures to follow. The Taoist priest in Taoist robes stopped them and said that it was not appropriate to break ground today, otherwise it would bring misfortune to the family. The auspicious day for breaking ground would be this time two days later.
Lu Zeng's face was gloomy.
Two days later?
Those who came here have to rush back to Kyoto today.
Lu Zeng asked Huo Yan for his opinion:
"What do you think we should do? We're all here today to help each other get this done. Otherwise, if we wait for two more days, can you do it on your own?"
Huo Yan buried his head and said nothing.
Lu Zeng was convinced, put his hands on his waist, sighed, and said helplessly:
"Auntie, can you please give me some advice? You decide what you want to do. This is your mother's business."
Huo Yan gritted her teeth and didn't want to speak at all. She really wanted to hug her mother and hide.
but……
"Two days later...is that okay?"
Finally, she stopped being willful and after a long time, she looked up at Lu Zeng.
"We'll do whatever you say. However, the three of us have work to do. We just came here today. If you can help you with something on the way, that's fine. But the burial won't take place for two days, so we can't help you with the rest of the matter. Can you do it yourself? These are all people you know, and they will tell you what to do." Lu Zeng said seriously.
Huo Yan was still dull, not expressing his opinion or speaking, which made the people around him extremely speechless.
Sure enough, he turned around and walked away, and the anger in my heart was rising rapidly.
Mr. Zhou must have lost his mind. How could he fall for such an unrefined greenhorn like that?
