Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 114 Grandma is dead
"Help." The child was already crying at this time, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed when he heard what Dr. Li said.

He was so scared. His grandmother had raised him since he was a child. What would happen to him if she left?
At this moment, the silly kid was like a child who was at a loss and could only ask for help in the way he knew.

"Take the medicine." Qin Dahe closed his eyes. The child didn't know what Analgin was, but he knew.

A miracle drug for emergency heat dissipation and pain relief. The pain relief here refers to any pain, and the effect is extremely fast, much more powerful than painkillers. Many clinics will prescribe this drug, so many people think it is amazing that a small clinic can provide medical treatment for just a few dollars.

However, he didn't dare take this medicine when he had such a severe cold some time ago, mainly because of the serious side effects.

To explain it in the game's terms, it is a way to fill up the health bar by lowering the upper limit of health.

Dr. Li took out another small grass fruit.

"Crush this and boil it in a large pot of water. Let grandma drink a small sip when her fever subsides, and drink a small sip when she feels less energetic. I can't do anything else with the rest."

Dr. Li sighed, packed up his things and left without even asking for money.

As a doctor, he has seen birth, old age, sickness and death, and he has no way to deal with many things. Grandma is so old, is there still a need to call a car to take her to the county?
It was for this reason that Qin Dahe did not mobilize a large force. He was too old and his organs were failing, so it was useless to go to the capital.

The kid has lost his backbone now, so he has to stay and help tonight.

I fed grandma the medicine first, then asked Erhu to bring the thermos and continue to boil water.

He knew exactly what the grass fruit was, but it didn't matter if his grandmother ate it, at least she could speak a few words.

Seeing that his grandmother looked a little more relaxed, he asked the child to raise the backrest of the person.

The elderly must not block their throats at this time, and must use something to support their heads.

"I'll go back and say hello first, and then I'll stay here tonight." As he said that, he was about to go out.

"Say something for me too." "Me too."

Erhu and Tiedan spoke at the same time. Silly Kid was at a loss and they brothers had to take over.

Qin Dahe nodded and went out. The three families were about to run away.

When he got home and told the couple, they just gave him another flashlight.

They also had a premonition about this. If grandma passed away, the funeral would most likely be handled by the four of them.

After notifying the two families again, he went to Weimin Supermarket to buy some Want Want snow cakes and then returned to Hanwaer's place.

On the way downhill, the wind was getting stronger and stronger. A locust tree was swaying back and forth, and its huge shadow looked particularly hideous under the lights of the supermarket.

When he arrived at Hanwaer's house, his grandmother had already opened her eyes. She was saying something, but there was a smile on her face.

"Big river."

"Coming." He stepped forward immediately, his face not particularly sad.

"Put the money away, open a savings account for the child, and deposit the money into it. And this box, if you can, sell it."

Qin Dahe followed the direction his grandmother pointed and saw an exquisite red wooden box inside the bed.

The wood grain on the upper layer is clear, the color is warm, and the workmanship is quite fine. The most important thing is that there are ghost face patterns on both sides.

"Huanghuali?"

"Yes, my dowry when I was young."

"It's very valuable. This quality should be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per ton now. Even though this box is small, it's worth at least a few thousand. I'll ask my uncle later."

My uncle is in Shenzhen, so he must know the price of Huanghuali.

"That's good, at least we can leave something for the baby." Grandma smiled with relief.

Several years ago, people only paid 80 yuan for it. I didn’t expect it to be so valuable now.

Qin Dahe put the money in his pocket. It was not appropriate to put it with the child now. He was confused and at a loss. He just stammered beside his grandmother, not knowing what to say.

"Erhu, Tiedan, please help me in the future. I only have this one grandson. I will definitely protect you when I pass away."

"No, grandma, I'll catch you a big fish." Erhu forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.

The grandmother they had always been familiar with was about to pass away, and both of them felt very sad.

"Grandma, let me light a cigarette for you." Qin Dahe took out a Shuangxi cigarette, lit it himself, and then helped his grandmother take a puff.

"Hey, cigarettes are still better to smoke. Tobacco leaves are too choking." Grandma showed a satisfied smile on her face. Daha is really a good boy.

Everything about him is good, he treats people well and is good to his brothers. With him, I feel at ease.

"You guys go back first, I want to talk to the baby."

The three of them nodded and went out, but did not go back. They sat in the living room.

"Erhu, come with me to the town tomorrow morning to buy some things for work and rent a crystal coffin." The old man had already prepared the shroud and coffin, but since he would be staying there for a while, he had to rent an electric one.

Now that things have come to this, there is no need to be shy about anything.

Grandma was already this old, her death should be a happy funeral, and we have to do what needs to be done.

"Ah."

"Tiedan, go and inform Hanwaer's uncles this morning."

"them."

"After all, they are relatives,"

Qin Dahe knew all about the affairs of his uncles and how they fought over the family property. The kid's grandfather had many brothers, but he had few relatives, so he was naturally bullied.

It's the same with his family. The old man is doing well, but if he can't control others, the family fortune left in his home will probably be taken away by his cousins.

This is how the countryside is, bullying the weak and fearing the weak. These things cannot be avoided even after twenty years.

The three of them smoked dully, and no one wanted to go to sleep at this time.

After a while, Qin Dahe went to the pot and fetched a bowl of warm water and brought it in. Grandma's eyes were slightly closed.

After taking a sip of water, I felt better.

"Good children, they are all good children." After drinking the water, grandma was able to speak a few words again.

His face had been somewhat rosy before, but now it was beginning to fade.

Qin Dahe forced a smile, touched the silly kid's head, and went out.

Let’s leave the last bit of time to the two of you, it’s really not easy for the kid.

When I think about how he often goes out alone in the middle of the night to set traps just to make more money, I feel sad.

"Dahe, is there any more smoke?"

"There's only half a pack left, so save it." The convenience stores were closed at this time, and he had to go back to get more after he finished smoking.

At two o'clock in the morning, everyone started to feel hungry again, so Erhu went to the kitchen to cook some noodles.

I have things to do tomorrow, so I have to eat a full meal tonight.

At this time, the baby came out and the three of them looked at him instantly.

The baby was squatting on the ground, crying like a bullied child, with snot all over his face but he didn't even wipe it off.

Qin Dahe walked forward, put his arm around his shoulders, and sighed slightly.

In the morning, Qin Dahe didn't invite any customers. He went to the town with Erhu to buy everything and rent a crystal coffin. He didn't understand many things, so he just followed the notes written by Qin's father and bought everything he needed.

The man who rented the crystal coffin even tried to sell him a one-stop service, but he refused. He thought it would be better to save as much as possible on the baby's side.

I also went to a photo studio to frame the black and white photos to hang on the wall.

Grandma had thought about all these things a long time ago. She did everything she could just because she didn't want to cause too much trouble for her grandson.

The crystal coffin was very heavy, and it took a lot of effort for four people to lift it. They finally carried it to the living room with great effort. Then the child moved grandma, who was dressed in funeral clothes, into the coffin and turned on the electric cooling.

When the mourning hall was being set up, the elders from the three families also came over. The three little kids didn't understand many things and they didn't want to be laughed at.

Erhu's father also came over and talked to the coffin. He was younger than grandma, but he had known her for many years.

Finally, he left 50 yuan, said he would keep a separate account, and left.

Under normal circumstances, if the family does not split up, the favors he and Erhu have given are put together. Counting them separately means that he has given two favors, which is considered as a token of his appreciation.

In the morning, some neighbors came to visit and they all gave gifts of ten or twenty yuan.

And we have agreed not to eat at the banquet.

They gave the gift money and had no intention of taking it back because grandma had never given gifts to others before. The family was too poor and they had to save up every penny to support their grandson.

Everyone knows Hanwaer's situation. It's already a huge hassle to have four brothers helping to take care of his funeral, so how could they do more?

At noon, a few friends had just finished a simple meal of noodles when two uncles in their fifties and sixties walked in.

"Grandpa." The silly kid stepped forward and called out.

"Well, my aunt is gone, and it's time, alas!"

Both of them are the kid's uncles and cousins of his father, but they don't have any contact. Now that grandma is gone, they have to come no matter what, otherwise they will be talked about behind their backs.

With the three Qin Dahe brothers around, there is no bloody fighting drama.

The most valuable thing in the house is the Huanghuali box, which was my grandmother's dowry. None of the other things are valuable.

However, the kid just greeted them reluctantly and sat aside, with no intention of serving them tea.

It was because my grandmother couldn't cultivate the land that the two men took away several acres of it.

Moreover, after dividing the land, they separated the family, which was simply bullying the two of them who were alone.

In the 1980s, this was a truly impoverished county where even having enough to eat was a problem. It was normal for people to go against their conscience for a little bit of food.

They also threw down 100 yuan and turned away.

After the child wrote it down, his face looked better.

He remembered all these favors, even if they were only ten or twenty yuan, he would carefully write his name on them. He would repay them one by one in the future.

There's nothing I can do about the favor my eldest brother owes me, but he's not going to owe anyone else any more.

"Kid, do you want to take the land back?" Qin Dahe wanted to help his brother.

The contracted arable land cannot be transferred privately. As long as you make a fuss, even if the village party secretary tries to take sides, it will not work. You will definitely be able to get it back.

Moreover, the villagers below will also support Hanwaer. This is in the vital interests of the farmers, and no one will be able to shake them.

"Forget it." The child raised his head with difficulty, his eyes already red.

Grandma is dead and will be buried soon. If he makes a fuss, he is afraid that he will not be able to enter the grave.

Besides, farming really doesn't make money, so he just wants to learn carpentry skills. The old carpenter treats him very well.

Qin Dahe did not force it when he saw this. Things in that era were hard to explain, and if he wanted to make a fuss, he would have to prepare a lot of things.

No one in the group got much sleep last night, so Erhu and Tiedan went to bed in the afternoon.

After they finish their meal in the evening, they will come over to replace Qin Dahe and the others. Although they are not Qin Dahe's biological grandsons, they are like brothers to Hanwaer and can still take his place in the wake.

It’s because the silly kid is alone. Even if his body is strong, he can’t stand going without sleep for three days and three nights.

There are quite a lot of people coming today. Mr. Huang from Limin Supermarket even came and gave us ten dollars.

Even people with whom he had no regular contact would come to take a look after hearing the news, which really refreshed Qin Dahe's understanding of the countryside.

Just like in big cities, here there are cunning people and simple people, greedy people and righteous people.

Most people do bad things to ensure their own food and clothing. Once they have enough food and clothing, they will also show kindness. Of course, the exception is Xiao Xiang's family in Xu Village. His family is simply used to stealing.

It was not until 5:30 in the evening, when it was already dark, that Erhu and the others came.

I slept for a total of five hours, ate a quick meal at home, and then came here to replace him.

Qin Dahe left immediately after seeing the person. He couldn't even open his eyes. He had smoked at least two packs of cigarettes today, and his mouth was bitter.

On the way back, many people looked at him and gave him thumbs up, thinking that he was righteous and capable.

He has been running around since last night. It can be said that he is the one taking the lead in handling grandma's funeral arrangements. Most young people of his age cannot compare with him.

Qin Dahe just nodded to everyone on the way, indicating that he wanted to sleep for a night, and then went back.

"Mom, just heat something up. I'll go to sleep after eating and take over Erhu and the others' shift in the middle of the night."

"Okay, everything." The mother felt a little distressed when she saw her son's haggard appearance, and quickly took the food out of the pot.

Qin Dahe was a little surprised to see there was also a little fat head.

"Where did it come from?"

"I fished it out of your pond. A small silver carp floated to the surface. Your dad said it wouldn't survive, so I pulled it out."

Qin Dahe frowned. There weren't many silver carp and bighead carp in the small pond. Could it be that the water quality was starting to have problems?

But he didn't have time to care about this at the moment, so he went to bed first.

He slept soundly and it took a long time for the alarm clock to ring at three in the morning for him to wake up.

I wiped my face hastily without even taking a shower. I grabbed my coat and rushed to Hanwaer's house.

The night wind continued to blow, and it was very cold, so cold that the wind blew into his neck and he began to shiver.

He started running. What a horrible weather! How could it be so cold when there are still more than two months to go before the Chinese New Year?

When we arrived, the three of them were chatting in the living room.

"You two go back to sleep." He waved his hand, urging them to go back.

I only sleep for a short while in the afternoon, which is not enough.

"Wait a moment, it will be dawn soon. If I go back now, I will have to knock on the door." Two hours is not a big deal. It will be more comfortable to eat something in the morning and then go back to sleep.

"Row."

The four of them sat together in the living room, and no one felt so sad at this time.

Although the silly kid was sad, he just sat on the bench dejectedly, hiding his sadness in his heart.

Qin Dahe took some yellow paper and started burning it. A little fire always makes it warmer.

Through the glass cover, you can see grandma's peaceful face. She must be happy to see her four brothers taking care of her funeral affairs, hey!
