Chapter 457 Return to Wenxia Town
Wen Zhenyi asked the cook to bring out the prepared dishes and place them on his altar.
Chen Hanxing also changed into a simple and elegant dress: “Yi Yi, let’s go and burn some incense for Master Cheng.”
Wen Zhenyi took off her apron, washed her hands, and walked over to him: "Let's go."
The coffin has been placed in the middle of the mourning hall. Axiang, Cheng Lesheng and their two children are kneeling on the ground to thank the people who came to pay their respects.
The Ma family and the fast food restaurant are both closed, so I came to the Cheng Mansion to help deal with some follow-up matters.
Chef Zhang prepared food for those who came to pay their respects or help, while the cook was responsible for the food for the servants in the house.
Wen Zhenyi was responsible for the sacrifice for Mr. Cheng, as he had promised him.
Chen Hanxing helped Cheng Lesheng entertain the guests who came to pay their respects. As for the money given by the guests, Shen Xiucai and others helped to register it.
Mr. Cheng's departure was not sudden, and everyone was mentally prepared, but when they saw him lying there, they all felt regretful.
He's a good businessman and a good father.
When Wen Zhenyi has nothing to do, he would stare blankly at the people coming and going, just like the passers-by in this world, coming and going in a hurry.
There were people here that she knew, and there were also people that she didn't know.
Everyone knew her identity, but no one would try to establish a relationship with her at this time. They just wanted to get rid of this person they knew well.
The weather in An County is hot, so the body will be sent to the Cheng family's ancestral grave after being kept at home for one day.
On the day of the funeral, Wen Zhenyi prepared some food for Mr. Cheng early in the morning and asked Axiang to take it to the grave.
Axiang took it and nodded.
She stood happily beside Wen Zhenyi and asked, "Mom, did Grandpa Cheng also go to another world like Brother Xiaoyi's grandmother?"
"Yes, they went to another world."
"Will they touch?"
"This mother doesn't know that the other world is just like the world we live in. It's a very big place."
Xixi looked at him and said, "Brother. They are all good people. We will definitely meet them."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "Yes, they are all good people. I will definitely meet them."
After Cheng Lesheng came back from the mountain, he locked himself in the study.
Axiang knew that he was sad and did not disturb him.
Wen Zhenyi walked up to her and said, "Leave him alone for a while."
"I know."
Everyone returned to their daily lives.
Cheng Lesheng stayed in the study for three days. Shen Hanxing went to talk to him once. On the fourth day, he had already washed up and reappeared in front of everyone.
He also treated the people who helped him to a meal to express his gratitude.
Everyone accepted it with pleasure.
Seeing Cheng Lesheng cheer up, Old Man Wen and the others felt a lot more relieved.
Wen Zhenyi and the others were also preparing to set off back to Wenxia Town. Old Mrs. Ma and the others were a little reluctant to let them go, but they knew that they had been away for too long and there must be a lot of things to deal with at home.
Before leaving, she asked Doctor Song to take the pulse of everyone in the Ma family to confirm that they were all in good health. Only then did she leave with peace of mind.
Old Lady Wen and the others looked at the bustling dock and said, "It's really lively here."
"It's just lively." Old Man Wen said with a smile.
It was much faster for them to go down the river by boat than by carriage, and they arrived at Wenxia Town in less than half a day.
The wharf in Wenxia Town is also very busy now, and the wharf is undergoing expansion and renovation.
The village chief of Hougang Village, Yunhai, accidentally saw the ship entering the port and immediately showed a surprised expression: "Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen."
Wen Zhenyi was a little surprised when she heard the voice. It seemed like they hadn't notified anyone to pick them up. She looked down and saw someone waving at her from the dock. She immediately smiled and said, "Village Chief Haiyun."
Village chief Haiyun immediately nodded happily.
Wen Zhenyi asked the two children to follow Old Lady Wen and the others, and he waited for the boat to stop before getting off. "Village Chief Haiyun, why are you here?"
"I came here to see Mayor Meng, and I saw your boat on my way back."
"What do you want to see Mayor Meng about?"
Village Chief Haiyun scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I wanted to ask when you will be back."
"Looking for me?"
"Well, you told us to try to grow oysters from the sea, so we did."
"Success?"
“We haven’t found a way yet.”
An image flashed through Wen Zhenyi's mind: "I know what to do. Go back and prepare some ropes for the fishing nets, and cut down some bamboo. The more the better. I'll be there in a few days."
"Okay." Village Chief Haiyun said as he was about to turn and leave, but suddenly thought of something and turned back: "That's not what I want to tell you."
"What is that?"
"Although we haven't been successful in oyster farming, we have successfully raised a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs."
Wen Zhenyi was slightly stunned: "You raise fish, shrimps and crabs?"
"Yes, so we thought we'd give it a try. Every day we caught fish and threw the living fish, shrimp, and crabs into the sea area blocked by fishing nets to see if they could survive. It turned out that some actually survived, and we caught quite a lot."
This was something Wen Zhenyi hadn't expected: "Okay, you've opened up a different path for yourselves."
Captain Haiyun scratched his head. "We only thought about the knowledge you taught the children, that they can make their own living. If we rely on the weather, we will go hungry when the weather is bad."
"Okay, okay, I'll go over in a few days and we'll talk in detail then."
“Okay, okay, Madam Shen, you go ahead and do your work.”
Meng Caidie walked down from the boat with Xiaoyi: "Yiyi, I want to go see my eldest brother."
"Go ahead. If your elder brother wasn't on official business, he would have come to see you long ago. It's time for you to go see him."
"Will you stay in town?"
"No, I'll just go to the store and take a look and then go home. You can just come over to my house when the time comes."
"Okay, Xiaoyi and I will go to Xinglin Village to find you then."
Wen Zhenyi went to Uncle Biaozi's shop to rent a few carriages, and first sent Old Lady Wen and the others back. He and Shen Hanxing went to the shops in the town to check out the situation.
After Ji Hongguang and Qin Xing got married, they managed the shop very well.
Aunt Ji was clearing the table when she saw someone coming in from the corner of her eye: "Guest, please sit inside."
"Aunt Ji."
When Aunt Ji heard the voice, she raised her head in a hurry and saw two people standing there with smiles on their faces: "Ah, Miss, son-in-law, when did you come back?"
Her shout called out everyone in the backyard.
Ji Hongguang was holding a bowl and chopsticks with a piece of food in his mouth.
Qin Xing's belly was slightly bulging, and it was obvious that she was pregnant. The water stains on Uncle Qin's hands had not dried yet, and he was very happy to see her.
"When did you come back? Have you eaten? Where are the Madam and the Old Lady? Why didn't they come with you?"
