Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 514 Ancestral Hall

Xu Huaici knew that Qin Fang was hospitalized. He paid someone to look after Qin Fang and would call him if anything serious happened.

However, he didn't have time to deal with Qin Fang right now, as they had brought back the ancestral tablets and placed them in the newly renovated ancestral hall.

Of all the old houses, the first thing he had repaired was the ancestral hall, and he personally placed all the memorial tablets there. After that, he took a brand-new memorial tablet from the side.

That was Xu Huai'an's memorial tablet. It should have been placed there by Qin Jingchu himself, but he didn't have time to come over, so he did it instead.

Several younger members of the family assisted him, cleaning the ancestral hall and wiping each memorial tablet clean before Xu Huaici placed them back in their original positions.

As Xu Huaici placed the memorial tablets, he talked to the younger generation about these elders. These were the stories the elders had told them, and he thought that he had forgotten the family's glory over the years.

But when he stood in this ancestral hall again, he blurted out what his elders had told him when facing his nephews and nieces.

After all the memorial tablets were placed, he distributed the prepared incense to the others, lit it, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

After everyone else had finished offering incense, Xu Huaici looked at Xu Huai'an's memorial tablet again, blinked away the tears welling up in her eyes, and said, "Let's go back."

The houses here haven't been renovated yet, so they're still staying in the guesthouse.

"By the way, I'll handle things here. If you guys have anything you want to do, go ahead. Ah Nian, didn't you say you wanted to study in China? Go ask your sister if she can help you get it done."

"Fifth Uncle, you agree to let me study in China?" Xu Nian was pleasantly surprised.

“Yes, we will come back eventually. After the ancestral home is repaired, your parents will also have to come back, and your names will be written in the family genealogy.” The family genealogy has not been brought back yet. Jing Chu said that the family genealogy is with a friend trusted by Third Brother, and he will bring it back this time.

Once the old house is repaired, all the clansmen who have gone far away will return; fallen leaves always return to their roots.

"Okay, then I'll buy a ticket and go to Beijing to see my sister in a couple of days!" Xu Nian was very happy. Since her fifth uncle had agreed, he would definitely be able to persuade her parents.

The others exchanged glances without saying anything. It seemed they should also start thinking about their future. If their elders wanted to come back, would they also have to give up their overseas foundations and return to start a business?

After a day-long train journey, even in a sleeper car, they were still quite tired. Yang Mingye and Qin Jingchu didn't feel anything, but Qin Wangshu and Aunt Luo seemed rather listless.

After greeting Professor Lin next door, they parted ways at the train station entrance. Qin Wangshu finally saw the person accompanying Professor Lin; it was a young girl, and she didn't know who she was to Professor Lin.

However, whoever he is, it seems to have nothing to do with Qin Wangshu.

Returning to Beijing meant the end of Qin Wangshu's honeymoon.

The day after she returned, all sorts of work came her way. Yang Mingye couldn't help her, so he could only handle the logistics for them.

He still had some time left on his vacation, but seeing how busy Aunt Luo and Qin Wangshu were, he wondered if he should hire someone to help with the cooking. They weren't short of money and didn't care about such things anymore; they could easily hire someone to help at home.

Having made this decision, he asked Aunt Luo and Qin Wangshu for their opinions.

"No need, I'll eat at the factory canteen when you get back to the army."

"I can also eat at the school cafeteria; the food there is pretty good."

Aunt Luo and Qin Wangshu both refused; neither of them wanted an outsider in their household.

Seeing that they both refused, Yang Mingye didn't bring it up again. He just felt that he would have to hire someone to do the housework in the future, since his mother and wife were both very career-oriented.
