Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"I'll sit for a while and then go back. Xiaolan, if you want to go today, go. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go. Xiaowen, you and your mother should have a good rest first. We have to go in the afternoon." Sheng Xuan said.

"Okay." Zhang said.

When Zhang came in, she gave instructions to the kitchen, and they sent two large bowls and one small bowl of noodles with soybean paste. The white and chewy noodles were piled with rich toppings and bright red meat sauce, and the appearance was enough to whet one's appetite.

"Just now at the table, I noticed that you guys didn't eat much. You usually like to eat this fried noodles with soybean sauce. I asked the kitchen to make a few bowls. You should eat it while it's hot. If you are too hungry, you will definitely have a heartache in the future." Zhang asked Shengxuan and the others to eat the noodles.

Sheng Xuan was indeed tired, and since Grandpa Sheng had passed away, he really had no appetite. However, seeing Zhang's attentive eyes, he couldn't refuse her kindness. Sheng Xuan picked up the bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls, even if he couldn't finish it, he still had to eat.

Xiaowen and Xiaolan also picked up their bowls and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Xin called Zhang over and asked quietly, "Everything is fine, right? Are you not making trouble anymore?"

"She didn't quarrel, but she just refused to wear mourning clothes," Zhang quickly glanced at Sheng Xuan and whispered, "She refused to wear mourning clothes and didn't cry at all. We paid for everything. She kept a close eye on her things, as if she was afraid that we would steal from her house."

"But she has nothing to complain about. She doesn't have to worry about anything. We pay for everything. The child's father has said that we only need to pay and the receptionist has the final say. Since we don't have the final say on these matters, she can't complain anymore."

After hearing what she said, Xin nodded and said, "That's the right thing to do. Also, let Xiaohong's wife keep an eye on the old lady and don't let her do anything weird. Hey, you guys are also worried, but there are always good people. If you walk the right path and behave properly, you won't be afraid at any time."

Zhang also told Xin about hiring drums and music for the old man, "Let's do the funeral properly first. After this, there will probably be a lot of debts to pay."

Xiao Lan and the others finished their noodles and talked for a while. Then someone outside came in and reported that some of Xiao Wen's friends had heard the news of the old man's death and had come to pay their respects.

Although Xiaolan's family had separated and lived separately, the old man was Shengxuan's biological father and Xiaowen's biological grandfather, so those who had contact with their family would naturally come to pay their respects. Sure enough, before the person who reported this had left, someone else came up to report that another person had come to pay their respects.

Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen hurriedly got up and went to the old house, followed by Zhang, but Xiao Lan did not go. She chatted with Xin for a while, called a few servants over, asked about the situation at home in the past few days, and then went back to the room to catch up on sleep. However, just as she took a nap, Xiao Ye came, but he did not come to Xiao Lan's room to disturb him. However, Xiao Lan heard the noise and still got up. While she was packing, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighing. The family encountered this big event of the death of the old man, and no one in the family had a good rest... Originally, handling funerals is more troublesome and tiring than handling weddings.

When Xiao Lan came out, Xiao Ye was talking to Xin in the front hall. "At that time, my father was called over. My father saw that my grandfather was not well at that time. At that time, my grandfather had not yet kowtowed... My father asked them to stop at that time, but no one listened to them, and my grandmother didn't keep an eye on my grandfather..."

"I definitely didn't expect that..." Xin listened and sighed.

Neither the Cui family nor the people in the old house had expected that the old man would not be able to survive this time.

Mr. Sheng has not been in good health for more than half a year, and has had several attacks. On weekdays, Cui is very considerate in serving the old man, and she also prepares special meals for the old man, but she is careless in other aspects. Cui is not a considerate person, and she never knows how to control her temper. Xiao Lan always feels that the old man's illness is caused by anger, and as long as she is in a good mood, she will be in a good mood. Mr. Sheng's illnesses these times were all caused by the group of people in the old house.

Zhang also came back, Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen still stayed in the old house. "Today, many people came, all because they heard the news. I guess there will be more people coming tomorrow," Zhang said. When she said many people came now, she was referring to those who came for the sake of Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen's face. Tomorrow, the news of Mr. Sheng's death will definitely spread further, and naturally more people will come to the door.

The next day, Xiao Lan went to the old house again. She looked into the room upstairs and saw that Cui was still sitting cross-legged on the kang. This room had been used as a mourning hall. Sheng Yugui had also advised Cui to move to another place, but she refused.

"This bed is mine, no one can pry me away." Cui was not polite at all when she said this to Sheng Yugui. Everyone knew Cui's personality, so they just let her be. However, many people talked about her behind her back. They had heard that she had a bad personality. You wouldn't know until you see it. She was too mean. She was the guest master, and everyone was polite when talking to her. She knew that she didn't want to move, so she couldn't say anything else. She couldn't say that she wanted to spend more time with the old man, or something like that, because that would make people feel good.

Xiaolan also heard about this from Xiaoyan. Her father-in-law was the receptionist, so how could she not be angry?

"If you want to hear something nice and pleasing to the ear from her, that's absolutely impossible," Xiao Lan said.

"Oh, I don't know how my aunt managed to survive all these years when she lived with her. I couldn't even get through a day." Xiaoyan said.

Zhang didn't take it too seriously after hearing what Xiaolan and Xiaoyan said, because she had gotten used to it over the years. "She is just that kind of person, but I have to say it. She has one good thing about her, and that is that she never says one thing to your face and another behind your back."

Sheng Xuan came back later, and Zhang Shanfeng asked, "Have you chosen a cemetery?"

"It's been decided. The old man said it several years ago, saying that it should be buried under the ancestor's grave." Sheng Xuan said.

"That's easy. Have you sent people to find the tomb site?" Zhang Shanfeng said.

"Not yet. I plan to play tomorrow." Sheng Xuan replied.

Digging a burial site is a very simple matter for farmers. Farmers' tombs are very simple and do not require the construction of a burial chamber. They only need to dig a hole and then fill it in.
