The funeral of the old dean was held in his hometown in the suburbs.

Because burials were not popular in recent years, they were burned at the cremation ground and buried in a nearby cemetery.

The winter rain was cold and biting, and it had been pattering for three days, as if the heavens were saying goodbye to the old man.

After Shu Wen got home, he developed a fever. He came out in winter with so little clothes, and sat in the cold hospital for so long, so it's no wonder he didn't get sick.

But the old dean's funeral had to go because of emotion and reason, Shu Wen struggled to swallow a few pills, and then went to the cemetery with Li Jingyin.

The old dean himself is a good person, and he basically brought up the children in the orphanage. When Shu Wen and Li Jingyin came to the cemetery, they saw a long line of people holding umbrellas. , to mourn the old dean.

Li Jingyin saw that there were quite a lot of people in front of him, so he said to Shu Wen: "Otherwise, you can stay in the car, I'll line up here, and I'll call you when I'm almost there, and come over again."

Shu Wen shook his head, he was wearing thick clothes today, his face was flushed because of illness, and he looked a bit listless, and said to Li Jingyin, "No, I have to line up here."

Knowing that Shu Wen has a stubborn temper, and that the old dean is indeed like a family member to him, Li Jingyin didn't try to persuade him any more, but stood by his side and waited in line.

The team walked forward slowly, no one spoke, and soon it was Shu Wen's turn.

Dean Cheng was standing next to the tombstone in sackcloth and filial piety. The portrait of the old dean had already been inlaid in the tombstone. Because everything was simple, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. They all left.

When the dean saw Shu Wen coming, he forcefully smiled and said, "Shu Wen, are you feeling better?"

Shu Wen looked at the dean with a haggard face. He has aged several years in the past few days, his hair has become a little gray, and he looks a lot more vicissitudes.

"It's much better." Shu Wen lowered his voice and said to the dean, "I'll send some flowers to the old dean."

The dean nodded and motioned him to put the flowers in front of the tomb.

Shu Wen turned his head to look at the tombstone of the old dean, and knelt down. Many people came before, and they all brought various flowers, so the tomb of the old dean was full of flowers of all kinds.

Putting the bouquet of chrysanthemums he picked in the bouquet, Shu Wen kowtowed three times to the old dean.

Li Jingyin also knelt down, kowtowed a few times to the old man's tombstone, turned his head to look at Shu Wen with blank eyes, and said, "Get up, the ground is cold."

Although there was a thick layer of soft cushions in front of the tombstone, but it was winter and the marble floor was still there. Li Jingyin was really afraid that Shu Wen's condition would worsen.

Shu Wen nodded, and was helped up by Li Jingyin. Just as the two were about to leave, there was a loud noise from behind the crowd.

Even on rainy days, there are some people sweeping graves near the cemetery.

But when he saw the mighty all-black car coming down the mountain, Li Jingyin frowned involuntarily.

Everyone looked back, and saw the black cars slowly stop, and a dozen or so people got out of it, all wearing black suits and holding black umbrellas, looking extremely scary.

Mr. Zeng got out of the car slowly, and the secretary beside him hurriedly supported him and handed him a cane.

He raised his head and saw the tomb with the most people, and recognized at a glance that it was the place where the old dean would stay in the future.

Li Jingyin lowered his head and said to Shu Wen: "Let's go to the side, there are too many people here."

Shu Wen nodded, and said suspiciously: "Why did Mr. Zeng come here? Who is he here to see?"

Seeing the old man's team walking this way, Shu Wen was stunned, and then said to Li Jingyin: "He... knows the old dean?"

There is no way to hide, Li Jingyin sighed inwardly, and said to Shu Wen: "Your condition is not recovered yet, don't talk later, you understand?"

Although Shu Wen didn't quite understand what happened, he still nodded.

Mr. Zeng was not in the habit of queuing up, so he just stepped in the line and squeezed over. Seeing his situation, no one dared to say a word, and they all gave way to the old man.

The two stood aside, and Li Jingyin imperceptibly pushed Shu Wen behind him, blocking the old man's sight.

Mr. Zeng walked over. He saw the portrait of the old dean with a very flat expression on his face. Maybe at his age, he was basically used to seeing death. Maybe he suddenly remembered his friend today. Died years ago.

Old Master Zeng, who was already familiar with death, didn't open his mouth. The secretary trotted over from behind and handed over a bouquet of flowers.

"Old Cheng, you left so fast." Mr. Zeng patted the bouquet of flowers, and said to the tombstone, "I didn't expect to see you in such a place for the last time. It's really a pity."

Shu Wen poked his head out, looked at Old Master Zeng, and asked Li Jingyin, "They really seem to know each other."

Li Jingyin said in his heart that it was more than acquaintance, but he couldn't speak, so he grabbed Shu Wen's hand and said quietly: "Don't talk."

Shu Wen didn't quite understand why he couldn't speak. It's not like Mr. Zeng and the others didn't know each other, and he was indeed curious, why would a big entrepreneur know the director of a rural orphanage?

Obviously, no one would answer his inner question, so Shu Wen could only keep his mouth shut and watched helplessly as old master Zeng said a few words to the tombstone.

The old man didn't need to kneel down. After speaking a few words with his cane, he planned to go back.

It seems that Li Jingyin and Shu Wen have never been seen the same from the beginning to the end.

Li Jingyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that the old man really didn't notice the existence of the two of them.

Just as Mr. Zeng was about to turn around and leave, the late Zeng Jiaxuan walked over.

From a long distance, I could hear the sound of the grandson walking 'Gada Gada', as if a switch had been stepped on under the leather shoes, which made people hear it very clearly.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Li?" Zeng Jiaxuan saw Li Jingyin with sharp eyes and smiled and said, "You are here too, where is sister-in-law?"

Shu Wen poked his head out from behind Li Jingyin, Zeng Jiaxuan smiled when he saw Shu Wen: "Hi, sister-in-law~"

Li Jingyin is really suffering and can't tell, why does Mr. Zeng take this kid with him everywhere he goes? ?

And who is your sister-in-law, according to your seniority, you have to call her cousin.

What an unruly brat.

Li Jingyin nagged in his heart for a while, before he smiled and said, "What a coincidence, you are here too."

When Old Master Zeng heard the voice, he turned his head and looked at Shu Wen who was dressed like a bear. After a long silence, he said, "Shu Wen, do you know Old Cheng?"

Shu Wen nodded: "I know."

Grandpa Zeng frowned. How could this good boy from a small family know the director of the orphanage?

One must know that when he went to Li's other hospital last time, Mrs. Li said that Shu Wen's parents were still alive.

Zeng Jiaxuan ignored the undercurrents of several people, stepped forward and gave a bunch of words to the old dean, then knelt down and kowtowed according to his grandfather's instructions, and then stood up.

Li Jingyin took Shu Wen's hand and said to Mr. Zeng, "How did you come here?"

Grandpa Zeng didn't speak, Zeng Jiaxuan said: "My grandfather and the dean's grandfather knew each other. I heard that he passed away today so I came to take a look. But you two, why are you here, and you are also here to visit the grave?"

Li Jingyin saw that old master Zeng's face was getting worse and worse, and said: "I have cooperated with Dean Cheng before, so I got to know the old dean, and we are indeed here to sweep the grave today."

Old Master Zeng didn't seem to listen to anything, he just stared at Shu Wen, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly waved to him: "Shu Wen, come here."

Shu Wen looked at Old Master Zeng in some confusion, why did the old man's face suddenly become so gloomy?

Li Jingyin's hands hurt a little, Shu Wen frowned and looked at Li Jingyin, and found that there were some fine beads of sweat on his temples, and he looked extremely nervous.

Old Master Zeng's tone changed a bit, and he said to Shu Wen, "Come here, Shu Wen."

Li Jingyin grabbed Shu Wen's hand, smiled at the old man, "What's the matter, Grandpa Zeng, you seem to be in a bad mood, why don't Jingyin take you to the tea house for a cup of tea, let's sit down and talk about anything."

"No need to go to any tea house." The old man looked at Shu Wen and said, "I just want to see Shu Wen, and I won't eat him."

Li Jingyin looked down at Shu Wen, and found that the little daughter-in-law was still in a daze.

He knew that the refusal should not be too obvious, maybe Mr. Zeng was just a little suspicious, if he refused it blindly, maybe it would be really self-defeating.

He let go of Shu Wen's hand, and Mr. Zeng didn't feel like he was delaying the people behind sending flowers, so he just stuck here and stared at Shu Wen closely.

Shu Wen walked up, looked into the old man's eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mr. Zeng stretched out his hand, touched Shu Wen's cheek, and asked, "You know Mr. Cheng?"

Shu Wen nodded, the old man's expression changed.

He touched Shu Wen's cheek with his haggard and vicissitudes of life, and it was the first time for him to observe Shu Wen's facial features so closely.

Although he has doubts in his heart, Mr. Zeng knows that there are similar people in the world. Back then, he watched his daughter jump into the sea with a child in her arms. The body had been swept away by the waves. There was no life left. The possibility of coming down?

But... this face really looks more and more like...

Mr. Zeng didn't look at it for a long time, he lowered his head slightly, and said, "So, are you an orphan?"

Shu Wen didn't understand why the old man asked such a question, because he couldn't see that Li Jingyin was sweating profusely behind him, so he could only nod with common sense: "Yes, I'm an orphan in Langshan Orphanage, what's wrong? grandfather?"
