Tan Wenbin helped light incense and candles, completing the final step of the ceremony process, thus concluding the funeral proceedings.
Overall, the funeral was quite simple, and in many ways, didn't follow the traditional norms, but Li Sanjiang had once told Zhuangzhuang that the arrangements for the deceased's affairs should ultimately cater to the needs of the living.
For Professor Zhu, what he wanted was such a breeze-like, simple ceremony, without the need for grand and lively arrangements. This way, he could continue to keep the feeling of his wife at home and continue to live the days with "her".
Finally, Professor Zhu grabbed each person's arm among those who helped and knelt before them.
It was just a gesture. As soon as the old professor bent his knees, everyone lifted him up, not allowing him to truly kneel down.
Each person received a red envelope, which the old professor insisted they take, so they did.
Afterward, Li Zhiyuan and the others returned to school.
