Sun Guoling voiced his doubts, "Qingyou, Kyoto is much better than our village. If you have the opportunity to stay in Kyoto, why come back?"

Lin Qingyou sighed, "I've lived here for over forty years, and I feel at ease coming home."

Sun Guoling laughed and said, "Okay, okay, no matter where you are, as long as you live a good life, it's all good."

Lin Youfu listened to everything, and after Lin Qingyou and the others left, he went inside as well.

"Lin Qingyou and his whole family are back. Secretary Sun just asked, and they said that Yuquan Village is their home, so they had to come back no matter what. If you ask me, it's like they were driven back from Beijing."

Wu Chunhua looked outside and saw only the shadows of several people.

“I knew it. How could people from Kyoto possibly look down on them? They still had to come back.”

The two of them were gloating, as if they had gotten a good deal after Lin Qingyou and the others came back.

When Lin Chuan and the others returned home, it wasn't cold at all, and everything was clean and tidy.

Zheng Yumei said, "It must be because my in-laws clean the house every day; they really work so hard."

Xu Chunmai put Xiao Le'an on the kang (a heated brick bed), which was also warm.

"My parents must have just gone back."

Lin Chuan said, "They don't know we're coming back today. The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so let's invite my parents to come and celebrate together. Tomorrow we'll go to the village to change our names, and then we'll buy some glutinous rice balls while we're at it."

Logically speaking, one can make glutinous rice balls at home.

Lin Chuan and the others returned late and hadn't prepared anything, so they didn't have time to get anything done.

Xu Chunmai nodded, "Okay."

The whole family had a good rest for a day, and early the next morning, Lin Qingyou and his family took the letter of introduction and the formalities and headed to the township.

Lin Yan, who came from Changling Village, also went along.

As agreed upon in Kyoto, Lin Qingyou's name was changed back to the one originally given to him by Fu Qiming and Shen Jinshu—Fu Tongzhou.

Lin Chuan and the others originally only wanted to change their surnames, but after thinking about it, they realized they were used to being called that over the years, so they added their surnames before their original names.

The character "林" was changed to "临".

Fu Tongzhou's three sons and one daughter changed their names to Fu Linping, Fu Linwei, Fu Linchuan, and Fu Linyan respectively.

The children in the family changed Lin's name to Fu.

Fu Linping's two children changed their names to Fu Zhijie and Fu Zhifeng.

Fu Linwei's two children changed their names to Fu Chuyang and Fu Chuchen.

The child in the Linchuan family changed his name to Fu Shuning and Fu Le'an.

Fu Tongzhou smiled as he looked at the newly changed name.

After leaving the police station, he said to his three sons and one daughter, "From now on, we have nothing to do with Lin Fugui and his gang!"

Changing their names marked a fresh start for Fu Linchuan and his team.

Actually, the surname Lin has nothing to do with Lin Fugui, since he was originally Chen Dazhuang.

After finishing his business, Fu Linchuan went to the market to buy glutinous rice balls.

He bought two kinds, one with white sugar filling and the other with hawthorn filling.

Many children love hawthorn filling, it's sweet and sour.

Fu Linchuan bought a lot; he could steam it or fry it when he got home. Anyway, life was much better now, and there was no shortage of oil at home.

Early on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Fu Linchuan set off firecrackers outside, and Zheng Yumei steamed and fried glutinous rice balls.

At noon, Fu Linchuan also prepared a large table of dishes.

Not only were Xu Chunmai's parents invited, but Sun Qiaoling and Liang Yun's parents were also invited to the house.

It was truly a lively and joyous occasion, a time for family reunion.

That afternoon, Fu Linchuan and Fu Linwei's family set off for Xuancheng.

Fu Linping and Fu Tongzhou went to Chunmai Noodle Restaurant in Wangshan County.

Because Fu Linping was already familiar with the previous tasks, he knew everything perfectly well when the door opened on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and he showed no signs of panic.

In Xuancheng, Fu Linchuan had already arranged for Sun Xiangdong and Zhang Xianglong to get busy preparing for the opening of the new store.

Even without Fu Linchuan, everything at the store in Xuancheng was taken care of.

After Fu Linchuan and his group arrived, they first took Fu Linwei, Liang Yun, and the two children to the house that had been rented for them and settled them in.

Liang Yun tidied up at home, while Fu Linchuan and Fu Linwei went directly to the storefront.

Everything at the storefront had been prepared. When Fu Linchuan arrived, Sun Xiangdong and Zhang Xianglong were still checking the things to be prepared for the next day and other matters.

Seeing Fu Linchuan return, Sun Xiangdong and Zhang Xianglong breathed a sigh of relief.

"This has worried us both. We were afraid that if you hadn't come today, we wouldn't know what to do tomorrow."

Fu Linchuan reached out and patted the two of them on the shoulder, "Everything as usual, I believe in you two, there will definitely be no problem."

Fu Linwei looked around. "Da Chuan, this shop is really big, and it's really well-designed. But why don't I see any braised meat?"

Fu Linchuan laughed and said, "Now that our factory is up and running in Xuancheng, we won't be braising meat here anymore. We'll braise the meat at the factory and deliver it to the store."

Fu Linwei suddenly realized, "No wonder, that's great, we can open a few more stores in Xuancheng then."

"What about the braised meat business that opens tomorrow?" Fu Linwei asked again.

Fu Linchuan said, "Xiang Dong and the others should have made all the arrangements."

Sun Xiangdong and Zhang Xianglong exchanged a glance. "Smart, everything is arranged. You said there would probably be big orders in the next few days, so we've made preparations in advance."
