official career

Since Zhou Qian and Xie Fengmin, mother and daughter, were too sad to take charge of anything, all matters were arranged by Qin Feng.

Qin Feng had to receive the guests who came to pay their respects, while at the same time negotiating the arrangements for the memorial service with the Xijiang Provincial Party Committee. Now he had to communicate with the Dongyang Municipal Party Committee by phone to negotiate the transportation and burial.

In addition, Qin Feng had not slept for two days and one night, and he was also very sad, so Qin Feng was confused and dizzy that day.

Finally, it was night, and Xie Fengmin was "forced" by Zhou Qian to take Niuniu back to the hotel to rest.

Qin Feng and Zhou Qian were still guarding the funeral home.

"Qin Feng, you should go back and rest too. You haven't slept for two days and one night." Zhou Qian said to Qin Feng.

Zhou Qian's condition is better than yesterday.

Qin Feng shook his head.

"I'll be on guard here, you go back and get some rest. There will be many high-ranking officials coming to the memorial service tomorrow, and as a family member, there will be a lot of things to do, so you must get some rest."

"I'm fine, I want to accompany my dad..."

In the end, Qin Feng forcibly sent Zhou Qian back to the hotel to rest.

Qin Feng once again stood alone in the funeral home hall to keep vigil for Zhou Qiming.

Although he was very tired and sleepy, Qin Feng still wanted to follow the customs of Jiangnan Province and accompany the most respected elder in his life to the end of his life.

Sitting alone in the chair, Qin Feng didn't know how long it had been before he felt so drowsy that he finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep in the chair.

Qin Feng woke up because he felt someone covering him with a blanket.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Zhou Qian's beautiful face.

I don’t know when Zhou Qian came here again and covered Qin Feng with her coat.

"Did I wake you up?" Zhou Qian asked.

"No, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you to go back to the hotel and rest?" Qin Feng felt a little dizzy.

"I couldn't sleep, so I dozed off for a while and then woke up again. He will be cremated today, and I wanted to see him a few more times." Zhou Qian turned and looked at Zhou Qiming's body leisurely.

"How many days?" Qin Feng rubbed his head.

"It's already past midnight. It will be dawn soon."

Qin Feng checked his phone and it was indeed past six in the morning.

Seeing Zhou Qian's eyes starting to tear up again, Qin Feng didn't want her to stay here any longer. Seeing the things reminded her of her past, Zhou Qian's eyes had been red from crying these days.

"It's almost dawn. Please walk with me. I've slept on this chair all night and my back and waist are a little sore." Qin Feng said deliberately.

Zhou Qian nodded and followed Qin Feng out of the funeral home's hall. This was also the first time Qin Feng walked out of the hall since he came to Cangnan City.

It was a bit chilly in the early morning at West Point, especially since it was a cold and gloomy funeral home, which made it feel even colder.

Qin Feng took off his coat and put it on Zhou Qian. Zhou Qian did not refuse, but wrapped Qin Feng's coat tightly and slowly followed Qin Feng. The two of them walked slowly along the path of the funeral home.

"Thank you!" Zhou Qian said.

"Why do you suddenly want to thank me?"

"Thank you for your hard work these past two days and nights. If it weren't for you, I really don't know if my mother and I could have survived this. My mother is still in a trance, and my mind is blank. If it weren't for you helping to arrange all this, I really don't know what I would have done."

"Although we are divorced, Dad will always be my dad. In my heart, he will always be my father."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Zhou Qian looked at Qin Feng with a hint of surprise.

"Why are you always so nice to me?" Zhou Qian's eyes became moist again, but this time the tears were because of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng turned his head to look at Zhou Qian, and the two looked at each other, neither continuing the topic.

"How is Hong Yue? I hope she won't have any objection to you rushing here for so many days?" Zhou Qian asked.

Qin Feng found a chair and sat down, lit a cigarette, and shook his head at Zhou Qian.

"She's not that narrow-minded, and...I didn't tell her that I was here and that my dad had passed away."

"Ah? You didn't tell her you've been out for so many days? Qin Feng, this is your fault. She is your wife."

Qin Feng was silent for a while.

"She is not in Xiquan. Her brother went to Yi'an some time ago and took her back to Dongyang to live. She has been back in Dongyang for more than a month."

"Did you have a fight? Is there something wrong with your relationship?"

Qin Feng shook his head again.

"We never had any quarrels or arguments. We lived a very peaceful life."

Qin Feng exhaled a long puff of smoke and continued, "It's because it's too peaceful, so... I don't know how to put it. She and I have been married for half a year, and life is like a glass of mineral water, without any waves or taste."

"Until now, the way we get along is more like friends than husband and wife. It's almost impossible for Hong Yue and I to sit together and have a heart-to-heart chat like you and I."

Qin Feng took a big puff of his cigarette after he finished speaking.

Qin Feng and Hong Yue are husband and wife, but they don't live like a couple at all. Qin Feng and Zhou Qian are no longer husband and wife, but they look like a couple no matter how you look at them.

Qin Feng felt this feeling very clearly, but he couldn't say it out loud.

Zhou Qiming's memorial service was held at 10 a.m., and starting from 9 a.m., senior leaders came one after another to pay their respects.

All the leaders of the Xijiang Province Xitao team came, including the provincial party secretary and the governor, and many leaders from Cangnan City also came.

The entire memorial service was held at a very high level, with the provincial party secretary personally reading the eulogy.

Standing by and listening to the eulogy about Zhou Qiming's life, Qin Feng couldn't help but burst into tears, and Zhou Qian next to him couldn't hold back again and was grabbed by Qin Feng and helped to stand aside.

After the memorial service in the morning, Zhou Qiming's body was cremated in the afternoon.

When Zhou Qiming's body was pushed into the crematorium, Xie Fengmin fainted at the scene.

Xie Fengmin was rushed to the ambulance, Qin Feng followed in the ambulance, and Zhou Qian was left in the funeral home by Qin Feng, as relatives had to be there.

Xie Fengmin didn't have any serious problems, she just fainted because she was too mentally exhausted and too sad.

Xie Fengmin woke up in the hospital, lying on the bed with an IV drip. Qin Feng sat beside the bed and took care of Xie Fengmin.

Xie Fengmin stammered as she told Qin Feng about her life with Zhou Qiming, crying. Qin Feng felt very uncomfortable listening to her.

After Xie Fengmin received several bottles of IV drips, Qin Feng sent Xie Fengmin back to the hotel and then went to the funeral home again.

The Zhou Qiming who was there before has completely disappeared from this world and turned into a small square box.

Zhou Qian sat in the chair holding the urn, looking stupidly as if her soul had been taken away.

Qin Feng took Zhou Qiming's urn from Zhou Qian's hands and placed it in the funeral home. Then he half-supported and half-carried Zhou Qian into the car and took her back to the hotel.
