Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 594 Return
Mrs. Fu went to close the door, and then she sighed.

Why did the old man of the Qin family leave so suddenly?

He died that night, and Wen Huo didn't even get to see him one last time.

How heartbroken this must be for the child! He's in Beijing too.

The Qin family compound was plunged into grief.

All branches of the Qin family are still here.

Some were crying, while others were discussing matters.

Even Gao Lan was there.

She came with Qin Wenze.

On New Year's Eve, Qin Wenze still went home.

I never expected that Qin Wenshu would come to report the death at five o'clock in the morning, saying that the old man had passed away.

As the granddaughter-in-law, Gao Lan naturally had to go along.

Now that she's at the Qin family compound, at this critical juncture, Qin's mother can't possibly drive her away.

Most importantly, Old Mrs. Qin suffered too much shock and her health deteriorated significantly.

Qin's mother also had to take care of the old lady.

However, she also had to entertain the old man's old friends who came to see him one last time.

Therefore, Gao Lan automatically took on the task of taking care of the old lady.

She stayed by the bedside of the old lady, serving her tea and water with great care.

The sisters-in-law of the Qin family were also very busy, as they, like Qin's mother, had to entertain guests.

As for the younger generation, they were assigned to do tasks.

Some went to inform their relatives and friends, while others were assigned to buy things.

Qin Wenze was also very busy at this time.

In any case, although the old man's funeral cannot be a grand affair, we should still ensure that he departs with dignity.

Qin's father and his brothers had already agreed on the date for the old man's funeral.

It was set for the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

So, we borrowed the tables, chairs, and benches from our neighbors.

The next day, Qin's mother took some time to pull Qin Wenhuo aside.

"Will your wife be able to make it back on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year?"

Qin Wenhuo nodded, "Yes, I've already confirmed it. She and Wenying will arrive at 5 PM tomorrow."

When Qin's mother heard that they would arrive tomorrow, she breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that they can arrive." She had been worried that with such a short time, Mingxue and Wenying might not be able to make it back in time.

There were originally two dates to choose from – one was the fourth day of the lunar month, and the other was the twentieth.

After discussing it with my family, we decided that twenty wouldn't work; it would be too late.

Everyone who had a job went back to work.

For those who live nearby, it's fine, but for those who live far away, it's really inconvenient to come here again.

Not to mention others, even her youngest son, Qin Wenhuo—once he returned to the army, he might not be able to come back for the funeral.

Therefore, although the fourth day of the Lunar New Year falls within the year, it can only be this day.

"Remember to pick me up tomorrow."

“I know. Prepare the mourning clothes she will wear the day after tomorrow.”

Qin's mother looked at him and said, "Do you need to tell me that? I've been prepared for this for a long time."

The old man's granddaughters-in-law are not only Gao Lan and Fu Mingxue, but also several from other branches of the family.

Generally, the granddaughter-in-law must wear a red hat.

Their daughters-in-law, on the other hand, wore mourning clothes.

These past few days, we've been hiring someone to cook for us; Aunt Li can't manage on her own.

Considering the old man's wide circle of friends, they didn't plan to invite everyone, only a few close acquaintances.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough room for dozens of tables.

This doesn't work.

At most ten tables.

As for the Qin family members, they could just squeeze in or join the second group for dinner.

──
Fu Mingxue and Qin Wenying were also preparing to leave the station.

The two of them actually seemed to be in better spirits.

After all, they don't have to stay up all night on the train; they just sleep.

As soon as she got off the train, Qin Wenying spotted her younger brother, Qin Wenhuo.

"Mingxue, Wenhuo has come to pick us up. He's over there."

As soon as she said that, Fu Mingxue looked in the direction she was pointing and saw Qin Wenhuo walking towards them.

It was obvious that they had seen them too.
