Looking at his grandfather's loving portrait, Li Xiao couldn't hold back his tears any longer. "Grandpa, I'm back to see you. I'm sorry I'm late..."

An elder beside her guided Li Xiao, who was crying inconsolably, to complete the ceremony.

On the other side, Li Sheng and Zhang Yuan, under the guidance of their elders, went to the reception desk to sign in and register, took out the gift money representing the studio, and handed it to the reception desk.

This happened last night after Li Sheng and the others received the news of returning to Ningcheng. Han Chunli collected transfers from enthusiastic colleagues in the group, went to the ATM to withdraw cash, put it in a white envelope, and wrote the word "funeral gift" on the cover before sending it over.

Afterwards, Li Sheng and his companion, under the guidance of their elders, came to their grandfather's spirit tablet to offer sacrifices and worship.

After the ceremony, the two of them accompanied Li Xiao, kneeling down and burning a lot of small coins for their grandfather that could be used in heaven.

Li Xiao kept crying throughout the whole process.

Later, Li's father came over and helped him up. "Xiaoxiao, it's okay. Grandpa won't blame you. Let's go see grandma. She's been waiting for you."

Only then did he wipe away his tears and stagger out of the mourning hall with his father.

Grandma looked visibly older. She was sitting in the bedroom, accompanied by Mother Li and a few familiar elderly people.

"Grandma, I'm back."

Grandma held his hand, rubbing it with tears in her eyes, "Okay, okay. My dear grandson, you've worked hard to come back."

"It's not hard. Grandma, you have to eat well. I'm back now, and I'll eat every meal with you from now on."

On the way, I heard from my younger brothers and sisters that grandma was too sad and hadn't eaten much in the past two days.

The elder grandmothers nearby also tried to persuade them.

Perhaps it was because her beloved grandson had returned, grandma's complexion looked visibly better, and Mother Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiao is the eldest among the grandchildren. Once he comes back, the backbone of Li's father and mother is back.

The elders discussed many funeral matters with him and even waited for him to make the decision.

He felt like he had grown up all of a sudden and had truly become a support for his family.

Due to the need to wear masks, all weddings and funerals will be kept simple.

Community workers came over and emphasized this several times.

There are quite a lot of people going to heaven these days, so the cremation is scheduled for tomorrow.

Therefore, Li Xiao was very glad that he rushed back to see his grandfather for the last time.

Early in the morning, relatives and friends bid farewell to the body. Grandpa went for a walk outside and came back to live in the small box.

This is followed by the funeral procession and burial.

Because Li Sheng and Zhang Yuan were there, and there were many good friends of Li Xiao who were friends since childhood watching him, and he was disguised throughout the funeral, no related pictures were leaked.

Qian Cencheng: I and the people in the studio are watching it 24 hours a day. Even if someone takes a photo, he can’t send it out!

After sending his grandfather off for the last time in an orderly manner, Li Xiao had a sound sleep.

After her husband passed away, my grandmother was immersed in grief for a few days. After seeing her husband pass away, she felt particularly distressed when she saw that the whole family was badly hurt.

After breakfast, she specially called her children and grandchildren to her side, saying that the dead are gone and the living are like this, and asked them to cheer up and do what they should do, as there are still many days to come.

The younger generations gathered together to discuss their grandmother's future retirement care.

Grandma waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about it. It will be the same as it was before. You can just go about your business during the weekdays. Just come and see me during holidays or when you have time."

The three daughters were worried, and the three sons-in-law rushed to take her to live with them.

The old lady was very stubborn and refused with a smile.

However, she did agree that her eldest daughter, who was homeless and was annoyed by her black fans, and her family would stay here with her for a longer period of time.

The old lady is very wise and optimistic.

So everyone cooperated with the old man and cheered up to do a thorough cleaning of the house.

During this period, Qian Cencheng made a video call, and at the invitation of his cousin, the whole family was included in the video.

Except for Li's father and mother, everyone else in the Ye family saw Qian Cencheng in person for the first time.

Before, I only knew that Li Xiao had a girlfriend.

Although the girl in the camera seems a little reserved, her stunning beauty is breathtaking!

Shen Qing and Yan Zhichen looked at each other and whispered, "She's so beautiful!"

Li Xiao introduced his family members to the girl one by one, and the girl followed him obediently and called people.

Everyone smiled and greeted her.

After a long period of friendly communication with laughter, the phone was hung up.

The second aunt and the youngest aunt asked Li's mother about Li Xiao's girlfriend with great interest.

Li's mother simply said modestly, "Chengcheng is engaged in scientific research and now works at the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

There is no more to say because she and the child’s father don’t know each other very well.

When their son spoke on the phone before, he said he would come back to talk, so they didn’t ask any more questions.

But since she was busy with the funeral arrangements these days, Mother Li didn't mention this topic at all.

Being superstitious, she felt that it was unlucky not to mention the matter of her daughter-in-law at this time.

Now that the matter was done, she felt it was time to ask for clarification.

So after finishing the general cleaning and sending her aunt and her two families away, Mother Li held a "three-court trial" for Li Xiao.

Li Xiao found it a little funny to see his parents and grandmother looking at him with expectant and curious eyes.

He ran to the door, checked that there was no one outside, and then closed the door.

Mother Li was puzzled. "Xiaoxiao, this isn't a state secret, why did you close the door?"

Li Xiao sat back on the sofa and smiled, "Mom, you're right. What I'm going to say next is truly a state secret."

He had originally planned to have his parents sign a confidentiality agreement, but when he was packing his luggage before coming, Chengcheng saw it and took it out, saying that there was no need to be so serious.

When it came time to introduce Chengcheng's details to his family, Li Xiao didn't know where to start.

He thought about it and decided to open the inscription given by the leader on his phone and show it to his mother, just like when he confessed to Li Sheng.

The mother took it in confusion and took a look. Oh wow, what did she see?!

"Is this... is this true? Xiaoxiao?"

"Replacement guaranteed."

Li Xiao looked proud.

Dad Li said, "What's true or false?" and took the phone to look at it, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Li Xiao found her grandmother's reading glasses and put them on her, "Grandma, let me show you our new heirloom!"

Grandma, wearing glasses, read the large characters on her phone: "Comrade Li Xiao is an ambitious young man. Hmm, the person who wrote this has good taste. Isn't my Xiao Xiao an ambitious young man?"

Li's mother Ye Zhijin was a little anxious, "Mom, please look at whose name is written on the signature and whose seal is stamped on it!"

"Let me see, oh, how come I share the same name with the leader? Ah... what did Xiaoxiao just say! Is this true?!"
