"My grandson has become very successful. Now that I have grown up, people call me master." Zhang Shanfeng was already very prestigious, and now his prestige is even greater.

Sheng Yugui's family and Bao's family also came, not only to congratulate, but also to help. Seeing their brothers becoming more and more successful, Xiaoting, Xiaowen's elder sister, and Xiaoyan, Xiaowen's close cousin, were of course very happy.

The fat baby Xiao Miao can now call people, but he doesn't know Xiao Wen. Xiao Wen has to take out a lot of toys to make him happy, and then Xiao Miao gets close to him and calls him uncle. Xiao Wen hugs Xiao Miao and smiles from ear to ear.

After the celebration, when everything was packed up, everyone calmed down and sat together to talk about their future plans.

Xiaowen passed the imperial examination, and the next step is to take part in the imperial examination. He will definitely spend most of his time with Mr. Huang to gain experience. Xiaowen's current knowledge and composure are inseparable from his experience. The Sheng family also knows that studying hard is not enough. Although Zhang and Sheng Xuan are reluctant to let Xiaowen go out for experience, they still support him very much.

During this time, Zhang and Xiaowen also chatted quietly, "Xiaowen passed the exam this time, and because he is anxious to go home, there is no banquet in the city. Should we go and arrange it?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded.

There have been buffets at home these days, and the guests have been talking to each other. In addition, the couple has some thoughts in their minds. Considering the future of their children, they may not be able to stay in Shengjia Village for a long time, and they should spend more time in the provincial capital.

"I'm jealous when I see Xiao Miao." Zhang whispered to Sheng Xuan. Xiao Wen, who was the same age as her, was already married in the village. Zhang was anxious to have a grandson. "And our Xiao Lan, it's time for her to get engaged. If it hadn't been delayed by the old man's business, she would have gotten engaged last year..."

"I've thought about it and there's really nothing suitable in our county, and we know each other well. In the future, let's live in the capital more often, so we can get to know more people. Let's quickly settle this matter."

Sheng Kai also agreed.

The couple was discussing important matters concerning their children when someone came to report that someone had come from the old house.

Xu came and brought a big bundle, saying it was a gift for Xiaowen. This really shocked Xiaolan's family. The gift has been delivered, and it would be embarrassing to refuse it. Zhang looked at Shengxuan and Xiaolan hesitantly, and after exchanging glances with them for a while, she slowly reached out and took the bundle.

Cui had always been stingy with their family, so what happened this time? Did the sun rise from the west? What could Cui have given them?

Xiao Lan gave Zhang a look, and Zhang immediately understood, and then opened the bundle. To be honest, she was also very curious about what Cui had given them. There were two pieces of colorful forged cloth in the bundle, which was the best-selling cloth in the town, and Xiao Lan recognized it at a glance.

"Originally, the old lady wanted to make something by herself, but now her eyesight is not good and her health is not as good as before. She was afraid that if I didn't do it well, she would not like it...so she sent me to the town to buy the best materials. Uncle, Aunt, Xiaolan and Xiaowen, you have seen all kinds of good things, and I guess this may not please you...but these are at least a token of love from us and the old lady..." Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

Xiaolan listened to the conversation and said nothing. Xu's words were just to save face for Cui. Cui's work, whether good or bad, she never did anything for Xiaolan and Xiaowen.

Looking at this brand new cloth, everyone knew that Cui had not prepared it before. This was a gift she had just bought to congratulate Xiaowen. It was also a decision she had just made. But what made Cui suddenly make this decision? After all, with Cui's temper, doing this meant giving in to Zhang again, or even trying to please them, which was something Cui would rather die than do before.

Xiao Lan felt that Cui must have something to ask of them, and it was not a small matter. After coming to this conclusion, Xiao Lan secretly winked at Zhang, asking her to keep Xu for a while longer.

"Is the old lady doing well? Has she gone out to visit friends recently?" Zhang started chatting with Xu about family matters.

"Oh, the old lady doesn't want to go out. She said the weather is a little cold. But, she was very angry the day before yesterday." Mrs. Xu said.

Zhang asked quickly, "What's going on?"

"Hey, my second uncle lost a money gambling game, so he asked the old lady for money that day. It was during the holidays, and he asked the old lady for money. They had agreed that day that they would not ask the old lady for money before the New Year...but just a few days later, he asked the old lady for money again, and the old lady refused to give him any, so they started arguing..." Xu whispered to Zhang.

After Xu and Zhang finished talking, before leaving, she said, "The old lady said that when Third Uncle and Third Aunt are going to come over, let them know in advance so that she can prepare the food."

"We can go there when we have time. There's no need to prepare food in advance." Sheng Xuan said.

After seeing Xu off, Shengxuan, Zhang and Xiaolan returned to the house. Xiaowen also came over from the study, and the family sat together and talked.

"Who has she lived for in her life? How can her things be so easy to take?" Zhang said, lifting the two pieces of cloth in the bundle. Zhang was not someone who could guess people's minds, but she knew Cui's character and personality very well.

"I just want to take advantage of Xiaowen's help." Xiaolan said with a smile, "The old lady is very smart. She saw that this is a good opportunity."

"She is a selfish person. She never thinks about others. If she asks our Xiaowen to do something that he cannot do, we can't agree to her." Zhang glanced at Sheng Xuan and said.

After Cui sent Xu away, Xiaolan's family was not in a hurry to go to the old house. Given Cui's temper, since she sent Xu away to bring gifts, it naturally showed how anxious she was at the moment.
