Chapter 319 No Regrets
A group of people surrounded Xia Yining and walked into the yard while talking.
As for Chi Yan and the others, they were not at all shy, since they were already listed in the family tree. They just followed behind him and went in.
After the servants brought up the prepared meals one after another, Yan'er coaxed her to eat something first.
Even the three tigers had their own plates and they squatted there to eat their meals obediently.
Everyone in the room looked at them, all with the smile of an old mother on their faces.
Red Flame:...
Well, well, well, he never thought that a day like him, a prince of the Dragon God, would be looked at like this.
Big Crane and Little Crane: ······
The pressure is so great that I want to eat by the wall with my bowl.
Xiao Zi:!!!
Sitting next to Mrs. He, the small bowl in front of her was already filled with food.
Fortunately, she seemed to be a sweet talker, so she smiled and said, "Home food is still the best. Xiao Zi always wants to eat home-cooked food every day."
"Mrs. He is also very kind. She loves Xiao Zi so much. Xiao Zi will definitely be filial to you in the future."
Mrs. He, who already liked the girl, smiled from ear to ear and kept telling people around her how nice and well-behaved Xiao Zi was, as if she were her own daughter.
Xia Yining shook her head helplessly. It seemed that her position in the family was no longer secure.
After finishing his meal and taking a sip of tea, Old Man He told the story of the old headman and thought of the little old man.
She still comforted her family: "Life and death are normal, please don't affect it."
"Since the old man is here, Ning'er will go over and take a look."
Old man He smiled and said "eh", then he stood up and went out with her, and Chi Yan and others followed.
When the people in Laolizheng's family saw the person coming, their eyes were sore, for they all knew that their father was about to die.
Xia Yining just nodded to them and went straight into the room. He saw Lao Li's haggard face full of death and his body was very thin.
This is because I have endured too long, otherwise I would have left long ago.
Hearing the voice, the person on the bed looked over. After seeing clearly that it was her, the head of the village actually laughed, and he looked very energetic.
In an instant, his face flushed and he moved and sat up from the bed.
When the people who followed saw this scene, they felt sad. The elderly people all knew that this was the last moment of the old village headman's life.
The family members standing behind him quietly retreated and began to prepare the things they needed.
"Now you are here. Fortunately, the old man has been waiting for the eldest princess."
"I have waited for so long just to thank you in person. If you had not left such a great opportunity for Xiaotian Village when you left, the village would not have developed so well."
"Because of the princess and the emperor, the villagers made a lot of money and lived better and better."
"You don't know, when the village was poor, it was difficult to find a wife, and many girls were unwilling to marry here."
"When did it start to change? The conditions in the village improved noticeably in the second year after you left."
"It was the richest village in the surrounding area. At that time, many girls wanted to marry here."
"Now, everyone's life is better. Even if the old man meets his ancestors in the underworld, his back is straight."
“Hehehehehehehe…”
Xia Yining didn't feel impatient at all when listening to him chattering, and there was a gentle smile on her face.
Deep down, he respects the old village head. He is an upright person who will not abuse his power for personal gain. He is a leader who truly cares about the villagers.
It can be said that the reason why Xiaotian Village can be so prosperous now is that, firstly, she left opportunities, and secondly, the village head is a person who truly works for the villagers.
Both are indispensable, and neither will become the Oda Village of today.
"What the old village head said is that those who came before were not as good as you. When we meet those ancestors, they will give up their seats to you."
"Death is not an end, it is a new beginning."
Lao Li was amused by her words and said excitedly, "Of course, who can compare to me?"
"Princess, you don't need to comfort me. The older I get, the more I see things. Death is normal and not something to be feared."
"Before I die, I will have no regrets and will be satisfied."
The group talked for a long time in the house. People from the village kept coming to see the old headman. It was not until meal time that Xia Yining and others went back.
On this day, everyone in the village would bring some things and talk.
When the sun sets, the red sunset glow in the sky illuminates the entire Oda Village.
Xia Yining stood at the door of the main hall with one hand behind his back and saw a beam of light falling rapidly from the sky.
She pursed her lips and was silent for a while before saying, "The old village head has passed away. Someone will come to announce the death soon."
She raised her eyes casually and saw another beam of light falling down, which made her frown slightly, wondering who it was.
The people in the He family courtyard became much quieter after hearing this, especially Old Man He and Mrs. He, who felt very upset and stood aside wiping their tears.
Both of them lived in Xiaotian Village and had a very good relationship with the old village head. Now that he was gone, they couldn't accept it at all.
The son of the head of the village came to the gate of the He family's courtyard but did not go in. He just kowtowed several times, which was to announce the death.
Anyone who has a funeral at home is not allowed to enter other people's yards.
Old Man He stepped forward and helped him up and said, "Is your mother okay? Sister-in-law, you should take care of yourself."
The son of the old village head wiped the tears from his face and said in a hoarse voice: "My mother is fine. The two of them talked for a long time before my father left."
"After everyone closed their eyes, my mother asked someone to help wash and change their clothes. She was very calm the whole time and arranged things for everyone to do. She didn't cry."
When these words were spoken, Old Man He's heart skipped a beat. He knew how good the relationship was between the old head of the village and his wife, and they had been supporting each other for decades.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s too sensitive, but I just feel like something’s not right.
However, the head of the village was very busy at the moment, so he didn't dare to say much and could only suppress his worries.
He patted his shoulder and consoled him: "Go and get busy, uncle will be there to help you in a moment."
After returning, he whispered a few words to Mrs. He. The two looked at each other and went to the headman's house together.
He also said to Xia Yining: "It's not appropriate for you to go now. Wait until the day of the funeral to go and light a fragrant incense stick to send off the deceased."
The rest stayed in the He family's yard and tried not to go out so as not to break the village rules.
It was not until the evening that Old Man He and Mrs. He returned from the head of the village, but they both looked unhappy when they entered the yard.
His brows were furrowed as if he was worried about something. The servants were very observant and served tea before retreating.
Whenever Mrs. He thought of the scene she had seen, her heart began to beat fast. She felt that a person should not have a blank expression when he is sad.
I couldn't help but say, "Old man, I feel uneasy."
