"I heard from daddy that grandpa's condition isn't that good. That's why I came to see him!"
She hugged him and left a gentle kiss between his brows.
Little Yichen requested, "Mommy, let's take a family portrait when little brother is home, okay?"
He paused for a moment before speaking further. "Let's take one with great grandpa!"
Yun Shishi stiffened, only to hear him say, "Because great grandpa told me that his biggest wish is to take a family portrait while he is still around."
She kept silent for a moment before her lips unexpectedly raised at the corner. "Okay!"
…
After recuperating for a couple of days, Yun Tianyou had regained some strength. He did not suffer any major injuries, except for the wound on his shoulder, which was caused by the animal trap. Apart from that, he was all right.
The Zhao family's funeral arrangements were completed without a hitch.
After returning from the funeral procession, Li Ru had been busy ever since.
Once the procession was settled, they did not have lots of savings left in the family. She often sat at the altar; her face was filled with worry. In the middle of the night, she would frequently hug the only photo Zhao Xiangjun had when he was still alive as she wept buckets.
She really could not understand how someone could just pass away like that.
The lively Lingling and Doudou were now depressed, especially the former. Ever since the funeral, she sat in her father's bedroom alone, hugging his belongings lifelessly.
Youyou got down from his bed and walked to the window. Suddenly, he heard some movements. Draping his jacket over his shoulders, he saw a few children running in a specific direction.
"Lingling, come out quickly!"
A child ran into the house and pulled the girl, who was currently working, with a face full of excitement. "Come take a look! A few beautiful sedans have arrived in the village! It's so rare! Let's go see them together!"
"No, I have work to do." The girl was still forlorn.
Alas, the kid allowed for no explanation, blurting out, "You can do your chores later! Let's go see those strange playthings!"
With that, she was pulled out of the house!
Youyou stood in the courtyard, his brows knitted.
Vermilion Bird walked up and said, "Sir, your family is here to pick you up!"
The boy followed the woman out of the house. Just as they reached the entrance of the village, they saw a group of villagers crowding the gates. It was bustling with activity and so crowded that not a drop of water could trickle through.
Everyone's gazes were filled with shocking envy and sincerity as they stared at the row of luxurious sedans parked at the entrance. They were all squeezing at the front, hoping to have a closer look at these vehicles that they had only ever seen on TV before!
Without talking about jeeps or sedans like Benzes, the villagers had not even seen ordinary sedans before. It was clear how backward this remote and far-flung village was.
A black Hummer was parked right in front of this row of cars. Its streamlined body was beautiful, catching everyone's attention.
"It must be a big boss sitting inside it, right?!"
"When I was in the city, I saw such a car. They were all ridden by big bosses!"
The admiration in everyone's eyes could not remain hidden.
