Chapter 504 Why don't we have such powerful biological fathers?
The others were carrying either notebooks or enamel teacups—not particularly valuable, but practical.
The villagers didn't have these nice things, and when they offered a few cents as a gift, the Qiao family always politely refused.
"We invited everyone here today just to have a lively time, and we won't accept any gifts."
If you insist on giving them, then bring eggs, potatoes, and cabbage to add to everyone's meal.
The villagers were delighted to hear this, and they all went home, brought over their surplus vegetables, washed and chopped them, and added them to the pot.
As a result, the communal meals were made in ever-increasing quantities and became more elaborate, to the point that those who came to the banquets could take the leftovers with them.
At the foot of Daqingshan Mountain, Qiao Runming's home was bustling with activity, a stark contrast to the funeral of Ding Cuiying.
A few days ago, Qiao Laosi went door to door to inform everyone to attend the funeral, and even specifically asked them to bring 50 cents as a gift.
Although no one said it to his face, they secretly mocked him for being obsessed with money.
One by one, they echoed, "We know, we know."
But I didn't actually plan to go.
Qiao Laosi waited at home for a long time, but no one showed up.
He kicked Qiao Kangkang and said, "Go and find out when the captain is coming!"
Qiao Kang Kang lowered his eyes, rubbed his bottom, and left. He wandered around outside for a long time before going back.
"Grandpa Qiao is hosting a family reunion banquet today, and everyone is eating there!"
"What?! They dare to disrespect me, Qiao Lao Si?! I'll make sure Qiao Lao San takes down the pot!"
He was about to rush out when he said that.
Seeing his aggressive demeanor, Qiao Lao Er quickly stopped him, saying, "No, no, no, we can't afford to mess with them over there. Let's bury Mother first!"
"What's there to be afraid of? They're just a few old men from out of town. Once they leave, won't Qiao Laosan fall into our hands anyway?"
Qiao Lao Er rolled his eyes at him: "Those old men will leave, but their connections will remain here."
If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself what kind of people are attending the family reunion banquet.
Fourth brother, third brother is different from us now. From now on, it's best to avoid him.
"Why should his life get better and better while ours plummets? I'm not reconciled!"
"It's no use, they come from a good family, we can't compare."
"That capitalist's son of a bitch, what good is his background? I'll report him!"
"Don't be ridiculous. His father can only make such a big deal out of someone with powerful connections, or his background is nothing special."
Let's just stop this for now!
Qiao Lao Si slumped to the ground, and after a long while, he looked up and let out a long sigh: "Why don't we have such a powerful father?"
Qiao Lao Er also wanted to know why their biological father was a stable boy and died so young.
He patted the fourth son's shoulder and said, "Burn more paper money for Mom later, so she can be reborn into a good family and find a good husband in her next life!"
Qiao Lao Si remained silent for a moment, then together with Lao Er, they escorted Ding Cuiying to the ancestral graves.
With no one to help, the two brothers rolled up a mat and carried it up, one end and the other end.
Qiao Kangkang followed beside her, glancing at Ding Cuiying every now and then.
The straw mat was rolled up, so he couldn't see anything.
Outside, the sun shines brightly, a gentle breeze blows, and in the distance, people are clinking glasses and laughing.
Old Qiao cursed and swore, wanting to carry Ding Cuiying to find Qiao Runming to make trouble for him.
Qiao Lao Er stopped him, saying, "Don't cause trouble, the auspicious time is almost over!"
Only then did Qiao Lao Er settle down.
Arriving at the ancestral grave, they dug a shallow pit and placed Ding Cuiying inside.
The moment the earth was buried, Qiao Kangkang felt a sense of loss.
From now on, he no longer needs to take care of Ding Cuiying's eating, drinking, and toileting needs, but it also means that he has lost his last relative.
