Chapter 71 Fu Qinhui is thoughtful

Lu Xiang returned to the Fu family and was tidying up the yard when she suddenly heard someone calling her name outside.

Lu Xiang raised her head and saw that the other person was a fat man with strange eyes.

There are very few fat people in this era, and those who can be fat are from well-off families. The fat man is not very old: "You must be my sister-in-law, right? I am Fu Qinhui's high school classmate, and everyone calls me Fatty Liu."

Lu Xiang only knew that Fu Qinhui was a good student in school, but she had never met his classmates. She said, "Come in, I'll pour you a bowl of sugar water!"

Sugar water was a real tonic in the 1980s, especially when made with village well water. It was icy cold with a hint of sweetness, refreshing and delicious.

Fatty Liu was tempted when he heard it, but he still said, "No!"

Lu Xiang could see that he was feeling awkward, so she poured him a bowl without letting him refuse.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse the kind offer, Fat Liu drank the bowl of sugar water. He gulped it down in no time.

After drinking, Fat Liu felt a little embarrassed: "Sister-in-law... you see, I didn't bring anything, and I even drank sugar water. How bad." He originally came here to deliver a message.

I didn't plan to visit her specially, but who knew my sister-in-law would be so welcoming.

Fatty Liu finally remembered what he was doing and said, "I work at a pig farm. Brother Fu said that if you want to raise pigs, just come to me and I'll pick out the happiest and easiest piglets for you. I'll take care of the feed and other things from now on."

The pig farm he was talking about wasn't a small operation like Lu Xiang's, raising three or five pigs in the village. It was a public farm with thousands of pigs, supplying not only the county but also the city.

Fat Liu is not exaggerating when he takes on such a big responsibility.

He was the son of the pig farm director. He had gone to high school with Fu Qinhui, but he didn't pass the entrance exam and was given a job at the factory. Fu Qinhui went to college in another province.

Fatty Liu said, "Brother Fu was very aloof when he was in school. At that time, all the girls in the school were attracted to him. He ignored everyone. We all wondered what kind of wife he would find. Now it seems that we can see that he looked down on those girls in school."

Lu Xiang is pretty and sweet, and she and Fu Qinhui are a perfect match in terms of appearance!

Liu Pang was not complimenting her. He had been on blind dates for most of the year and had met dozens of people so far. None of them was as pretty as Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang asked, "Is he so popular?"

Fatty Liu said, "Yes, the girls call him a flower... Oh, yes, a flower from the high mountains." He also laughed and said, "Brother Fu never asks anyone for help. When he sent me a telegram, I was shocked. He must come in person." After saying that, he frowned and squinted his eyes.

Now that I have met Lu Xiang, I finally understand why Fu Qinhui is so concerned about her!

If he had such a beautiful young wife, he would love her all the time.

Lu Xiang was also a little touched. She had just said it casually that day, but she didn't expect Fu Qinhui to remember it.

As soon as Fatty Liu entered the yard, he smelled a spicy and delicious aroma. They cook duck necks all year round, and the basins, bowls, and chopsticks were all marinated with the flavor.

Fatty Liu swallowed his saliva and said, "Sister-in-law can cook?"

Lu Xiang brought a plate of duck tongues from the table and asked, "Do you like duck tongues?" She always saved some duck tongues for herself when she made braised duck.

Although Fatty Liu had never tried it, he was very interested. Judging from his figure, there was nothing he wouldn't eat.

His eyes were almost glued to the plate, yet he kept saying politely, "I'm not eating anymore." He was so upset. Why did he forget to bring two pounds of pork when he left?

Now he feels embarrassed to drink sugar water and eat duck products.

Lu Xiang said, "Help me taste it."

Fat Liu had never eaten this kind of thing before, so he took one to try. The duck tongue felt slippery and tasted spicy, salty and fragrant. There was only a small bone inside, and it was delicious.

He was like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit. He finished a small duck tongue before he could even taste it. His mind wouldn't let him take another one, but his hands seemed out of control. He took another one, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, chewing every bone clean.

The meat on the duck tongue is so tender and lively. How come I haven’t discovered this delicacy before?

Seeing that he loved the food, Lu Xiang was very restrained and refused to take more after taking two. Since he was Fu Qinhui's friend and had promised to help with the pig farming, she naturally had to treat him well.

We have to ask my mother-in-law for permission before using anything else at home, but duck tongue is her personal snack, so she has the final say on it.

Seeing that Fat Liu was too embarrassed to eat any more, they packed up the remaining food for him, saying that he could eat it on the way.

Although Fatty Liu felt embarrassed, he really liked the duck tongue. Seeing that Lu Xiang was really willing to give it to him, he felt he couldn't refuse it. He thought to himself, next time I come here, I must not come empty-handed!

Lu Xiang sent Liu Pang out, thinking that Fu Qinhui was usually quiet, which made it difficult for him, as he was also a thoughtful person.

Lu Xiang really didn't know how to be nice to him.

I made him a bowl of steamed egg in the evening and gave it to Fu Qinhui during dinner.

Although the Fu family eats from a big pot, everyone can cook for themselves and eat what they want.

In the past, several sisters-in-law also cooked eggs for their husbands to nourish their bodies, but everyone else seemed to turn a blind eye.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Xiang brought the egg custard to Fu Qinhui, everyone looked over.

Mrs. Fu San kept looking at the two of them, secretly gossiping about Brother Fu San, with a gossipy smile on her face. Look at this couple, they were ignoring each other a few days ago, but now they are fine again!

What did she say? They were arguing over the beds.

Fu Qinhui was stunned for a moment, then said, "For me?" The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Lu Xiang said seriously: "If you like it, I will make it for you next time."

Everyone present was extremely envious. These days, the only person who could enjoy the special meal cooked by Lu Xiang was Fu Qinhui.

I couldn't help but gulp my saliva. The golden yellow egg custard looked smooth and tender. If Lu Xiang's big pot rice was so good, wouldn't the small stove be so delicious?

Fu Qinhui served half to Lu Xiang!

The others waited eagerly, hoping that Lao Si would share some with them. Lao Si was not a stingy person, but this time he had a strong desire to possess the egg custard.

This is how they steam the egg custard. It doesn’t have any holes at all and looks delicious.

Fu Qinhui scooped half for Lu Xiang, mixed some whole grains, and then ate it in big mouthfuls. He didn't share any with others!

Everyone swallowed their saliva loudly.

I knew it was delicious just by smelling it and looking at its color. Then, seeing how seriously Fu Qinhui was eating it, I became even more greedy.

Without even eating a single bite of egg custard, I watched the fourth brother and his wife being affectionate. After the meal, the jealous brothers and sisters-in-law all went back to their rooms. Who doesn't have a partner? Tsk, newlyweds are so sweet.
