Chapter 547: Final Radiance
Chapter 547: Final Radiance
"It seems your grandfather just has a couple of days left. Let him go peacefully."
Mo Jingchun turned his head to look at the direction from which the crying was coming, shook his head, and said, "Uncle, I’m not a child anymore."
"I can still tell what can be said and what can’t."
Zhou Xing, holding a cigarette, nodded and said, "That’s the way it is, that’s the way it is."
In the next second, Zhou Xing spoke again, "My brother and I still want to ask if you have any suggestions."
To the disappointment of the Zhou brothers, Mo Jingchun shook his head and said:
"Uncle, I have no suggestions. Just follow the old traditions, or rather, that is my suggestion."
"You and your brother surely know grandpa’s temperament better than I do. Grandpa liked tradition; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been an Incense Master for so many years."
"Okay, my brother and I will discuss it. You go in and see the old man first."
Still seemingly concerned, as Mo Jingchun turned around, Zhou Xing suddenly grabbed his arm and earnestly said:
"Don’t do anything stupid."
Mo Jingchun felt somewhat helpless; he’s a very rational person, not likely to cause any disharmony over such a small matter with his uncle’s family and relatives.
After all, he wouldn’t have the qualifications.
Though a close nephew, there was still a distance.
His mom passed away, and now his grandpa was also about to go.
If he weren’t the boss of Candy Technology, no one among those distant relatives would pay attention to a young lad like him.
Watching Xiaochun’s back, the second brother said, "Relax, he’s more sensible than both you and me."
"Since Xiaochun doesn’t want to intervene, we should discuss whether to hold a funeral feast celebration."
Meanwhile, Mo Jingchun took Li Xuanyu, who didn’t follow Zhou Yaling into the house, and they went in together.
Upon seeing Mo Jingchun enter, the already lowered cries got louder again from several people.
Except their actions were somewhat exaggerated.
Mo Jingchun merely glanced before shifting his gaze to his grandfather lying on the wooden bed.
The wooden bed his grandfather slept on wasn’t because his uncle was stingy, but because his grandfather wanted it himself.
At this moment, Candy was lying by the bedside, pouting and looking at her sleeping grandfather, while the pale-faced Zhou Yaling leaned silently against the wall.
The two of them, having not shed a tear upon seeing people.
But upon a glance, grandpa truly seemed like he was just sleeping.
"Grandpa, why don’t you wake up and play with Guoguo?"
The room instantly fell silent when the long-silent Candy spoke.
In the somber atmosphere, the neighbors sitting in the room were all moved to tears.
But no one opened their mouth to tell the child, "Dear child, your grandpa might not wake up."
In the end, no one dared remind; after all, it was too cruel to say such words to a child.
Compared to adults, a child’s emotions are more pure and not mixed with any other things.
This child genuinely wished for the old man to wake up.
Unlike some people who only put on a facade.
Mo Jingchun reached out to feel his grandfather’s neck; it was not only cold but even the pulse felt faint.
Weak,it might stop beating at any moment.
In the evening, sitting in the room holding his sister, Mo Jingchun was daydreaming.
Carrying a bowl of noodles, Li Xuanyu came over and sighed, saying, "You and Candy should have some noodles to fill your stomach."
Already hungry, Candy didn’t hold back and directly blew on the steaming noodles.
At this point, Zhou Xing came over and said:
"Xiaochun, my brother and I asked the town’s master, we’ll hold a happy funeral."
"Sure!"
The old man loved excitement all his life, so since this is his last time on earth, it should be just as lively as when he was born.
After eating the noodles, Mo Jingchun felt much better and was no longer as exhausted as he was in the afternoon.
During this period, Candy still tried to wake grandpa, but there was continuously no response.
By past ten at night, Candy was drowsy. Seeing this, Mo Jingchun sent Candy to Zhou Yaling’s room, asking Zhou Yaling and Li Xuanyu to sleep with Candy.
After leaving Candy in place, Mo Jingchun softly told the two, "You guys sleep first, I’ll sleep after midnight."
Without waiting for them to say anything, Mo Jingchun had already closed the door and went downstairs.
At this hour, there weren’t as many people in the house as during the day. Neighbors coordially took turns sitting through the night.
And by the wee hours, almost all outsiders had left.
Seeing the increasingly slow drip of the nutrient liquid in the syringe, Mo Jingchun knew that as soon as it stopped dripping, it meant grandpa’s life had come to a full stop.
And this time would likely be today.
Already worn out from running around all day and struggling to stay awake past four in the morning, Mo Jingchun eventually lowered his head and fell asleep.
Inside, Wang Qiaoling found a blanket to cover Mo Jingchun to prevent him from catching a cold.
With only family left in the house, Wang Qiaoling couldn’t help but sigh, "This child also has a tough fate."
In a daze, Mo Jingchun heard the delighted voices of many people, along with Candy’s hearty laughter.
In his subconscious sleep, Mo Jingchun thought he was dreaming, but soon he was awakened by the noise.
Outside the window, it was already daylight without him realizing it.
Beams of sunlight streamed into the room through the blinds, illuminating the bed.
Staring at the scene before him, Mo Jingchun was stunned; it turned out he wasn’t dreaming.
A few minutes earlier.
Waking up and noticing she was sleeping on her sister’s bed with no one around, Candy felt a bit scared.
Hugging the large dog on the bed, she opened the door and went downstairs.
Thinking of grandpa, Candy dragged the large dog, larger than herself, into grandpa’s room.
Ignoring the adults’ surprise, Candy directly walked to the bedside.
Facing grandpa up close, Candy wasn’t scared. After hesitating for a moment, she once again called out the same words.
"Grandpa, why don’t you wake up and play with Guoguo?"
When Candy felt disappointed as nothing changed like yesterday, her eyes widened in disbelief and she rubbed her eyes.
Did the finger move?
In the next second, Candy’s face was filled with joy.
It moved, it really moved.
"Hahaha~ Grandpa, Guoguo knew you were just playing with Guoguo?"
"Come on, Guoguo is hungry."
Candy’s unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of adults.
With just one look, everyone saw the fingers moving.
Then, under everyone’s astonished gaze, grandpa not only opened his eyes but also slowly lifted his head, looking at Candy with a kind smile.
"Little one, come help your grandpa up."
With a cigarette still in his mouth, Zhou Xing was stunned, opening his mouth in surprise.
The cigarette fell out of his mouth by itself.
"Come····Here I come."
And it was at this moment that Mo Jingchun woke up from the noise.
Standing beside the bed and holding his sister, Mo Jingchun watched grandpa leaning there smiling and drinking porridge. He was happy, yet a bit sad.
