Chapter 138 [What Place?] (6200)
After the seventh day ceremony for the old village head, the body was sent to the funeral home for cremation, followed by the funeral and burial.
Chen Yan stayed in the village for seven days without leaving for a moment.
During the daytime funeral and the nighttime vigil, the children and grandchildren of the Zhao Family wore mourning hats and sat beside the funeral hall burning paper money, kowtowing, and returning salutes.
Chen Yan wrapped a white cloth around his waist and silently helped with the tasks.
During the funeral banquet, he sat quietly to the side with a bowl of rice, eating in silence.
He didn't shed tears; in fact, Chen Yan didn't fully understand how he felt.
He was certainly sad, but besides the grief over the old man's passing, there was a faint sense of desolation.
The old man was right; he lived a fulfilling life.
Lived freely and transparently.
