The old man's funeral followed the customs of their area.
The elderly were brought back home.
With the belief of returning to the earth and coming back to one's roots, they specifically found a vehicle to bring the old man back to the village.
The funeral was considered completely concluded.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others were too tired to speak.
Aside from the sadness in their hearts, the complexity of the funeral added to it. In rural areas, funerals are quite elaborate. It was Jiang Xiaoxiao's first time attending one; when it was her parents' turn, it had nothing to do with her at all.
By the time she found out, her parents had already passed.
The arrangements were made by the community.
This time she experienced it thoroughly.
The old man was already laid to rest.
Now the family sat together for a meeting.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sat there, saying nothing.
Song Moting, being the grandson-in-law, also found it inappropriate to speak.
