Chapter 620

"You want to buy insurance for so many of us? You are spending money again! Why do you buy that? With that money, you can buy more gifts for your grandma, aunt, and uncle when you have that money, and they will definitely be happier. Yes, you kid!"

Ge Xiaozhu expressed doubts and objections.

Insurance is too strange to her.

Since she was a child, she has never heard of anyone around her who bought it.

Xu Tongdao smiled bitterly.

I had to patiently analyze and explain to her, and by the way, I used Ge Zhiping's stomach cancer this time as an example.

Ge Xiaozhu was startled.

"Zhiping got stomach cancer? When did it happen? I haven't heard of..."

Of course she hadn't heard of it. She lives in the county and basically doesn't go back to Xujia Village. No one in Xujia Village comes here to look for her. How can she know what happened in the village?

These days, there is no circle of friends for her.

The example of Ge Zhiping has some effect on her.

Xu Tongdao answered her many questions again, and she nodded and promised him to buy insurance for their elders.

Seeing her promise, Xu Tongdao was happy and mentioned another thing.

Persuade his mother to go with him to the city hospital for a full-body examination recently.

Before going home today, he thought about it, and he would do a full-body check-up for his mother every year from now on. This matter... He didn't plan to persuade his grandmother, aunt and uncle to go together.

It's not a matter of money. It's mainly because older people are stubborn and generally don't like going to the hospital. To convince so many elders, his scalp numbs after thinking about it.

In contrast, it is certainly much easier to persuade the mother alone.

No, it took him more than an hour to persuade his mother Ge Xiaozhu alone. During this period, his sister Ge Yuzhu also helped her mother's ideological work, and finally she reluctantly asked her mother to agree to go to the market with him for two days. Go to the hospital for an inspection.

Even though she had no choice but to agree, she still said that he was spending money indiscriminately and would not live his life.

Fortunately... Two days later, he took his mother to the city hospital for a complete physical examination and the results were good.

Blood pressure and blood sugar are a bit high, and there are other minor problems, so pay more attention to recuperation.

"I'll just say you spend money indiscriminately! How about it? Spoil the money, you feel more comfortable, right?"

When he came out of the hospital, his mother Ge Xiaozhu seized the opportunity to teach Xu Tongdao to be a man again.

What else can Xu Tongdao say?

I can only accompany the smiling face without arguing with her.

For him, it is necessary to have a full-body check-up for his mother every year, at least to give him peace of mind.

No serious illness was found, so naturally it was the best result.

...

Time flies, day and night.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and the time came to mid-December.

On the evening of December 17, it was more than 9 o'clock.

Xu Tongdao was reading on the balcony chair when he suddenly received a call from Ge Xiaoyu.

"Small way...My dad is gone..."

As soon as the phone was connected, Ge Xiaoyu's choking voice came into Xu Tongdao's ears, which made Xu Tongdao's heart sinking. Although Ge Zhiping was discharged from the hospital, he expected this day to come soon.

But he really felt heavy in his heart when he heard the news of Ge Zhiping's death.

In his prime, Ge Zhiping, in his forties, just left.

There are some things that you can't think about.

Thinking carefully.

Who can guarantee that he will always be lucky? In this life, I won't be caught early by any terminal illness?

Once you think about it more, you may lose your enthusiasm for life, your pursuit of career, and so on.

It is easy to fall into depression.

"Do you need my help?"

After a long silence, Xu Tongdao broke the silence and asked.

Ge Xiaoyu: "No, there are already people in the village to help, and some of my relatives will also come to help. If you are so busy, you don't need it."

Xu Tongdao was silent for a while, and then asked, "About when will I be buried? I'll take the time to come back and see your dad off."

Ge Xiaoyu: "This, this is still undecided, and I don't know it. I may have to wait for my mother to discuss it before I know it."

Xu Tongdao said, "Then the time for the burial is fixed, you remember to send a text message to tell me, yes, does your family have the money for the funeral? If you have any difficulties, tell me."

During the more than a month when her father fell ill and was hospitalized for chemotherapy, he and Ge Xiaoyu had been in contact more often, and the estrangements and prejudices that had existed between them were also eliminated.

Between each other, they should be regarded as friends.

Moreover, she grew up together since she was a child, and she was the girl he had a crush on when he was young, so if she could help, Xu Tongdao would not hesitate to help.

Ge Xiaoyu: "Thank you, Xiaodao, but it shouldn't be necessary. My family had some savings before. You borrowed all the expenses for my dad's illness and hospitalization. The savings at home have not moved. If you really need help, I I will speak to you, anyway, thank you."

Xu Tongdao: "Don't be so polite with me."

After a pause, he said two more words: "Sorry!"

...

Two days later, in the afternoon.

Xu Tongdao drove back to Shazhou County, still driving in Dongyang.

On the day of Ge Zhiping's burial, Ge Xiaoyu had already sent a text message yesterday to tell him that it was tomorrow.

According to their burial rules, the funeral and burial must be when it is dawning. After the burial of the dead, everyone will come back for breakfast.

Therefore, since his Xu Tongdao intends to attend funerals and burials, he has to go back one day in advance, otherwise he will not be able to catch up.

Can't let Ge Xiaoyu delay the time of her father's burial just to wait for him to catch up?

On the afternoon of returning to Shazhou, Xu Tongdao asked Xi Dongyang to drive directly to Xujia Village-Ge Xiaoyu's house.

Dressed in black, accompanied by Xi Dongyang, he walked into the mourning hall of Ge Xiaoyu's house under the different eyes of the young and old in the village.

The mourning hall was built in the hall of her house.

There was a pergola outside the door, and the inside of the door was arranged as a mourning hall in accordance with local customs. Taoist priests were singing things that no one could understand.

There are a variety of traditional musical instruments, and the musicians mourn.

"The trail is back?"

"This is the eldest son of Weixi's family?"

"Where's Xiaozhu? Why is her son back~www.wuxiaspot.com~ she didn't come back?"

"Xiaodao's family is related to Xiaoyu's family? Why did he come?"

...

The young and old who participated and watched saw Xu Tongdao coming, whispering, discussing with each other, looking at Xu Tongdao's eyes, surprised, suspicious... and so on.

Xu Tongdao turned a deaf ear, dressed in a black suit and white shirt, he walked into the mourning hall with a solemn face and followed him in the play Dongyang. According to local customs, a package of space prepared in advance was handed to the recipient. This gift , Will be marked and hung above the mourning hall.

A lot of space quilts, blankets, etc. have been hung above the mourning hall.

Xu Tongdao looked at the spiritual position on the table of the Eight Immortals and the portrait of Ge Zhiping, sighed, knelt on the futon on the ground according to the rules, took a stick of incense from a person next to him, made a bee, got up and inserted it in front of the portrait. In the censer.
