Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

After repairing the grave, several people put the offerings on the table, and then burned paper and cried. After a while, everyone stopped crying, and then stood up and poured the wine they brought on the old man's grave. As for the offerings on the table, they were put back into the basket as they were, and then Sheng Nuo carried it again, and everyone went down the mountain to the old house.

"What dishes will be served later?" Sheng Kai took the opportunity to ask Sheng Nuo and Sheng Hong, "You must let me eat the meat in this basket later."

The vegetables and fruits that are used to commemorate Grandpa Sheng today will be taken back and will be shared like the meat and vegetables used for the New Year's sacrifice. After the ceremony, these foods will be shared.

The old man died at this age, although he was not old, he did not die young either. According to the custom of that era, the offerings in front of the spirit and grave could bring people longevity and good luck. Moreover, some of the old man's descendants had become successful, which made the offerings in front of his grave more auspicious. When the old man was not buried, many of the offerings placed in front of the spirit were taken away by the villagers. This behavior could not be considered stealing, because at this time, the more offerings were taken away, the more glorious the faces of the bereaved family would be.

When several people came back to the old house, Xu was picking and washing vegetables, while Cui was sitting steadily on the kang. After the old man passed away, the kang in this room belonged to Cui. After everyone entered the house, they greeted Cui and sat down one after another.

"Wait a minute, can the child's mother bring some dishes over..." Sheng Xuan said to Cui after sitting down.

"Just give it to me, you are a wealthy man now..." Cui said sarcastically.

Everyone was used to Cui's attitude and way of speaking. No matter how well others did, she was dissatisfied. This kind of thing had been going on for a long time and everyone was used to it. Therefore, even if Cui's words were sarcastic, Sheng Xuan didn't take it to heart and just ignored them.

At this time, Xu brought hot tea and asked Cui if she wanted to start cooking now.

Cui did not immediately answer Xu's question. Instead, she asked Sheng Xuan and Sheng Hao, "Where is the mother of the children?"

Sheng Xuan and Sheng Hao were both a little surprised, because in the past occasions of this kind, Cui would never ask about these two people's affairs, so Sheng Xuan found an excuse, saying that Zhang really had something to do and couldn't come, and Sheng Hao followed suit and covered it up for Liu.

At this time, Xiaowen glanced at Sheng Kai casually. Sheng Kai hurriedly called Shen to come upstairs to help, "Xiaocao's mother is here, it's just right to ask her to come and help with the work. She is the only one eating here among the sisters-in-law, you are saving food." Sheng Kai's words clearly sounded like Cui was afraid that her daughters-in-law would eat more of her family's food.

Cui was so angry that she fell backwards, and her face became more gloomy, but Shen heard Sheng Kai's call and came over immediately, and then really helped Xu outside. Cui sat on the kang, looking outside from time to time, but after a while, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she got off the kang and went outside to watch Xu work.

When the dinner table was set, Sheng Kai, Shen and Xiao Cao all sat down at the table. Cui didn't like Sheng Kai at all. "Don't let him around me. If he keeps jumping around, I'll live ten years less. You guys don't care and let him bully me, a widow and unemployed woman..."

Sheng Nuo and Sheng Hong remained silent, and Sheng Hao also lowered his head. Cui had no choice but to look at Sheng Xuan. Sheng Xuan's scalp was tightened by Cui's stare, so he could only say sullenly, "Mom, this is the meal for my father's grave..."

What Sheng Xuan meant by this was that Cui had no way to chase Sheng Kai away during this meal. Cui was so angry that she had no choice but to curse Shen loudly. Shen couldn't stand it anymore and finally left the table. Xu pulled Shen out and served her another meal. Only then did the old lady calm down.

When the anniversary of the old man's death came, Xiaolan's family paid for the anniversary celebration, but this time no outsiders were invited, only the family gathered together, and then Zhang, Xiaolan and Xiaowen officially stopped mourning. However, the brothers Shengxuan had to mourn for three years, but Zhang, Xiaolan and Xiaowen only had to mourn for one year. After the mourning period, Xiaolan could finally wear brightly colored clothes and wear brighter gold and jade jewelry.

There were footsteps outside the door. Xiao Lan looked up and saw Sheng Xuan coming back from outside. Xiao Lan greeted him, "Dad, you're out so early?"

"It's nothing. I went to take a look at the land on the farm." Sheng Xuan said.

Now the fields, fish ponds, orchards, ranches, rabbit meat factories, and restaurants and food shops that Xiaolan bought are all managed by corresponding managers. These people have signed life contracts, but Xiaolan's family also treats them quite generously.

Everything was well managed, Sheng Xuan basically didn't have to work in the fields, but he was born and raised in a farming family, and his love for the land and crops made him always want to help in the fields. Now, the autumn harvest season was coming, and he was itching to help in the fields. Xiao Lan and Zhang also tried to stop him, but he said that he would only feel happy if he did some work, so the mother and daughter let him go.

In fact, there were many people in this era who had the same idea as him. Even scholars in this era valued farming and reading, because fields and crops were the foundation of the country for all the people in the world.

However, when the villagers saw Sheng Xuan working in the fields, some of them still didn't understand, because they felt that with his current wealth, identity and status, there was no need for him to continue doing these rough jobs. At this time, Sheng Xuan confidently told them not to look down on the work in the fields, because he said that farm work in the fields was the same as when he was studying, and there was no distinction between high and low.

Zhang heard the conversation between Xiaolan and Shengxuan, and came out of the house with a smile, "Hurry up and go in to wash up, it will be time for dinner soon."

"I just need to wash in this yard." Sheng Xuan stood in the yard and looked around. Among the four seasons, his favorite is autumn. Not only is autumn a season with clear skies and crisp air, it is also a season of harvest.

Zhang asked the maid to bring the basin to Sheng Xuan, "Then wash it outside, and then wash your feet as well." Seeing that Sheng Xuan's feet were a little wet, Zhang hurriedly took out a pair of new shoes for Sheng Xuan to change into.
