Chapter 906 The Village Chief’s Gift
"Yeah." Bai Qiong nodded, not blaming him. "Since you're here, go see him off."
Ji Qinglin turned around, looked at the mahogany coffin, walked over and bowed three times. "Village Chief, Xiao Ji is back to see you off! Have a safe journey."
This simple sentence expressed her respect for the elder, and the village chief's family cried even more sadly.
"Old man, did you see that? Xiao Ji has come back to see you off! If you are still alive in heaven, you must protect her." The village chief's daughter-in-law cried and comforted the deceased.
Ji Qinglin bowed to the village chief's family and returned to Bai Qiong.
At this time, the monk who presided over the burial signaled everyone to put down the mahogany coffin and prepare to bury the body.
Looking at the mahogany coffin that was gradually buried by the soil, Ji Qinglin felt a little melancholy. A person's life seemed very long, yet very short. Perhaps when he woke up tomorrow, the familiar people would no longer be there.
At this moment, Ji Qinglin's heart tightened and he clenched his fists tightly.
She just wants to cherish the present and not wait until she loses it tomorrow to regret it.
The village chief's burial ceremony went smoothly. It didn't rain and everything was peaceful. After the ceremony, everyone went down the mountain.
After Ji Qinglin and Bai Qiong finished the funeral banquet, they got into Secretary Wen’s car and returned to Jiangbei.
Along the way, Ji Qinglin and Bai Qiong didn't speak, and they wouldn't comfort each other. After all, both of them were in a heavy mood, and it wasn't appropriate for anyone to comfort the other.
"Xiao Ji, this is for you from the village chief." Bai Qiong suddenly took out a box and handed it over.
Ji Qinglin glanced at the box with a surprised look on his face. "For me?"
"Although you haven't been back to the village for a long time, the village chief has always been thinking about you." Bai Qiong's eyes were filled with sadness. "He treats you like his own granddaughter, which is why he left this box for you."
Ji Qinglin took the box and felt it was heavy. Although the box looked ordinary, it was filled with the village chief's love for her.
"I haven't opened it yet, so I don't know what's inside."
Ji Qinglin nodded, then carefully opened the box.
When the box was opened, Ji Qinglin was stunned. There was actually a book inside, and it was quite old.
The title of the book was already blurred, and it was unclear whether the words inside could be seen clearly. Ji Qinglin was afraid that the book would be damaged if he flipped through it in the car, so he was not in a hurry to take it out.
Ji Qinglin closed the box again, thinking about confirming what book it was after returning home.
It was already early morning when we returned to Jiangbei.
Bai Qiong was very tired. She said good night to the two old men and went back to her room to sleep.
"Xiao Ji, let's go back to our room and rest. Don't stay up too late." said Mr. Gu.
"Yes, I will." Ji Qinglin nodded and looked at Nangong Yuwen. "Grandpa Nangong, you should also go to bed early."
"it is good!"
Nangong Yuwen and Mr. Gu rarely had a quarrel today.
Perhaps because they knew that the atmosphere today was not right, they all restrained themselves and just stayed by Bai Qiong's side silently.
Ji Qinglin couldn't help but sigh that at her age, her grandmother was still very happy to have two lovely old men to spoil her.
Maybe this is a gift from God to grandma.
Grandma had a hard life in the first half of her life, but she was destined to have a sweet life in the second half.
