After Lu Xiangqian's body was brought back for burial, the three Lu Fengnian brothers started arguing again. Lu Fenghua and Lu Fengyu said that they would take their father to the countryside today, while Lu Fengnian said that they would keep the body in the courtyard for seven days before burying it in the countryside.

"Brother, isn't it a bad idea to leave Dad at home during the New Year? My uncles and aunts still have old houses in the countryside. Wouldn't it be nice to ask my cousins ​​to help set up the mourning hall?"

"This is Dad's home. You don't let Dad stay at home. Have you lost your conscience?

Lu Fenghua, I'm telling you, I know you two are both eyeing this house, no way! This house is mine, I want Dad to stay at home for the funeral, so let's do it here."

"What's yours? This house belongs to Dad. We three brothers all have a share."

"What share do you have? Grandpa said from the beginning that this house would be given to me. Dad also agreed at the time. The deed to this yard is still in my hands."

When Lu Fengyu heard what his elder brother said, he immediately exploded and came over to hit Lu Fengnian. Lu Fengnian kicked him directly, making him scream.

Lu Fenghua was so frightened that he dared not say a word. His daughter-in-law was crying and complaining, "Father-in-law, why did you leave like this? You didn't even say a word about how to divide the house!"

"Father-in-law, how could you have fallen to your death while trying to buy fish and meat for your beloved eldest son?"

Lu Shiwei's eyes were swollen from crying, and she cursed at her brothers when she saw them fighting over the house.

Hua Min wiped her tears and advised Lu Fengnian to be patient for the time being and wait until everything is settled.

Lu Ting first drove to the countryside to inform his great uncles and great-grandparents of the death, and under the guidance of his third uncle, he found the graves of his great-grandparents and grandmother.

I gave my third uncle some money and asked him to ask some fellow villagers to help dig the grave.

Lu Xiangqian died on the 29th day of the first lunar month. His funeral was held on the 5th day of the first lunar month. His coffin was pulled from the city to the countryside for burial.

His grandfather's family didn't have an old house in the countryside, and he had the same idea as his father: it was impossible to borrow a relative's house to hold the body and the funeral.

By the time he had explained everything clearly, it was already seven o'clock when he returned to the military compound.

Su Yan thought Lu Ting would not come back tonight, so she just cooked a bowl of noodles. He came back just as she was finished eating.

When Lu Ting came back, he was shocked to see Su Yan's arm tied up like a mummy.

"Yan Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Su Yan carefully observed Lu Ting's face and found that his eyes were a little red and swollen. Could it be...

"I fell off my bike on the way back and broke my arm."

Lu Ting hugged Su Yan, rested his head on her shoulder, and choked out a sob, "Yan Yan, I'm sorry! If I had accompanied you back to your parents' home today, this wouldn't have happened."

Su Yan knew that Lu Ting was crying, and she felt uneasy, thinking that her grandfather might really be gone.

"Yan Yan, my grandpa is gone! He's gone! Chinese New Year is tomorrow, and I'm really sad right now."

Su Yan patted him gently with her uninjured hand and said, "None of us wants Grandpa to leave. Don't be too sad. He doesn't want you to be so sad on New Year's Day either."

The two of them hugged each other without saying a word. A few minutes passed, and Lu Ting's stomach growled. Su Yan asked, "You haven't finished your meal yet?"

"Well, I didn't eat much at noon."

Who can eat after something like this happens?

"Then shall I make you some noodles?"

"No, I'll make noodles. After I finish eating, I'll go over and bring some blankets to my parents."

"I'll go over too!"

"Your hand is injured, so you should not go. Rest well at home and go on the day of the funeral."

"How can I do that? If I don't go, those people will definitely say I'm unfilial. Let me go, I promise not to cause any more trouble."

Lu Ting knew Su Yan had misunderstood and quickly explained, "Yan Yan, I'm not afraid that you'll cause trouble, but I'm worried that your hand will be hit by them."

"Don't worry, my arms are tied up. As long as they don't do it on purpose, they can't hurt me."

If she knew that Grandpa Lu Ting had died and she didn't even go to see him, she would definitely be criticized.

"Yan Yan, I want to ask you for a favor."

"What's up?"

"I want to borrow the car in your space to transport grandpa's coffin to the countryside for burial."

Lu Ting looked at Su Yan quietly. It was not easy to borrow a military vehicle. Those people would definitely not agree to borrow it to transport a dead person during the New Year.

They can't possibly hire someone to carry the coffin from the city to the countryside, right?

Su Yan didn't shy away from this. After all, they were her own relatives, and now that they were gone, there was really no need to dwell on these things.

"That car won't arouse suspicion if I drive it out openly, right? Forget it, you can use it!"

Fortunately, the two trucks in the space were originally antiques. Apart from the engines, there was not much difference in appearance, and they were not military vehicles.

The imported car in the villa garage cannot be driven out because it is obviously not from this era.

"By the way, have you checked if there's any gas in the tank?"

"The last time I drove to Tsu City, I filled up the gas tank before returning."

Su Yan was relieved that there was oil. Lu Ting cooked a bowl of noodles for himself and then went to the political commissar's house to ask him to ask for leave for his parents.

Lu Ting took three quilts and a military coat from his parents' house, and then took three more quilts from his own home, as well as grain and various foods.

The whole family will live in the courtyard for the next week until grandpa is buried.

It was already ten o'clock when the two returned to the courtyard, and they saw Lu Fengnian's brothers and their children kneeling on straw mats, keeping vigil.

There was a basin of charcoal fire next to it. Tears welled up in Su Yan's eyes as she entered the yard. Half a year after marrying into the Lu family, she had only just seen the old man once. When she saw him again, he was already lying in a cold coffin.

Lu Fengnian quickly got up from the straw mat, "Xiaoyan, what happened to you?"
