Chapter 904 The Village Chief is Gone
Despite Gu Beisheng's comfort, Ji Qinglin was still worried and tried to call Bai Qiong, but the feedback was still that the service area was out of range.
"By the way, grandma has returned to the village, Aunt Wang should know." Ji Qinglin's eyes lit up, so he looked up Aunt Wang's phone number and called her.
This time, Aunt Wang's call went through.
"Xiao Ji, is that you?" Aunt Wang's voice came from the phone, a little cautious.
"Aunt Wang, it's me." Ji Qinglin took a deep breath to calm his inner anxiety, "I want to ask if my grandma has returned to the village."
"Yes!"
Hearing Aunt Wang's answer, Ji Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Where is she now? I've been calling her, but I couldn't get through."
"She should be in the mountains." Aunt Wang sighed and said helplessly, "I guess your grandma didn't want you to be sad, so she didn't tell you. In fact, she came back this time to attend the funeral of the village chief."
A buzzing sound.
Ji Qinglin's mind went blank.
Funeral for the village chief?!
At this moment, childhood scenes emerged in Ji Qinglin's mind.
When she was a child, she was more lively and active than other children. She ran all over the village and was considered a naughty girl by the villagers.
Normally, Ji Qinglin and the village chief wouldn't have much interaction.
However, they thought she was too naughty and often fought with other children in the village, so they sent her to the village chief for justice.
It was from that time that Ji Qinglin became a frequent visitor to the village chief's house. Later, when she grew up and her temperament was not as wild, she would still visit the village chief's house frequently.
It’s nothing, the village chief is just very nice to her.
Even though she made mistakes, the village chief would still patiently educate her and teach her life lessons.
Ji Qinglin had great respect for this kind elder, and his memory of him was still three years ago when he was just about to leave Jiangbei.
The village chief at that time was quite healthy and in good spirits, but how come he passed away after only three years?
"Xiao Ji, don't worry. Your grandma is fine. She has two elderly people by her side, so she should be fine."
"Aunt Wang, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Qinglin had a complicated expression. Gu Beisheng, who was standing next to her, saw this and came over to put his arm around her shoulders.
"Let me go back with you."
Ji Qinglin glanced at Luo Luo beside him and said with a wry smile, "I should understand why grandma didn't tell me, and then went back to the village. Luo Luo is still young, it's not convenient for him to be involved in these things."
"It's okay. You go back, I'll stay at home and take care of Luo Luo."
Ji Qinglin raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Beisheng, feeling warm inside. She was really glad to have such a gentle, considerate and understanding husband.
"If I rush back now, I should be back by noon tomorrow."
"Don't worry, it's not too late to come back once you've dealt with everything. Anyway, your emotional stability is the most important thing."
"it is good!"
Ji Qinglin walked very quickly.
Gu Beisheng was worried about the others, so he asked Secretary Wen to send her back personally.
After a long journey, Ji Qinglin returned to Shangqing. As soon as he entered Shangqing, he could feel a sense of sadness in the air.
Looking around the village, there were many white lanterns hanging.
Generally, when someone is gone from home, a pair of white lanterns will be hung up, but now the whole village has hung them up, which is enough to show that the village chief is very prestigious and popular in Shangqing.
Whenever Ji Qinglin thought of the old man's face, his heart ached dully.
"Madam, I'm sorry for your condolences." Secretary Wen comforted her, then slowly drove the car to the side of the village entrance, trying not to disturb the peace of the deceased.
