On the 28th, Jiang Fengxia set up a pot and stewed pork in the backyard. She added enough ingredients, and the aroma almost made Fu Baoer in the house dizzy.

Zhaodi and Pandi licked a piece of fruit candy with small sips, squinting their eyes happily.

We have to fry a lot of New Year's goods today, which is the old custom of Qingshan Village during the New Year, including frying sweet potato slices, eggplant boxes, lotus root boxes, toon sprouts, spinach fish, hairtail, and mung bean meatballs.

It’s just that the conditions have been really bad in the past two years, and most people can’t afford these things, not to mention that they are very fuel-consuming.

Jiang Fengxia also thought it through. Since the gods wanted her to live a good life, she would just try her best to live every day to the fullest.

This Chinese New Year, let’s build as much as we can!

Fu Baoer was very satisfied with the two elders' idea. She had an inexhaustible supply of things, so she was not worried that they would eat as much as they wanted. She was just afraid that they would be frugal and unwilling to spend money, which would be a waste of her efforts.

Zhaodi tilted her little face up to smell the aroma of fried food in the kitchen, and her little nose twitched faster than Heiwa's.

Fu Manshan was smoking a pipe, sitting on a newly repaired recliner, staring lazily at the meat in the pot.

The backyard was peaceful and quiet, but the front yard welcomed an uninvited guest.

Heiwa's ears moved and he ran to the front yard first. Fubaoer turned over and tilted his head to listen to the noise.

"Woof!" Who is this, master? It's a man I have never seen before.

Fu Tiancheng was shocked. When did his family get a dog? Aren’t dogs not allowed now?

Fu Manshan came out and took a look. Oh, wasn’t this their eldest son whom they hadn’t seen for nearly seven or eight years?

Fu Tiancheng is the most handsome among the sons of the Fu family. He has regular features and is tall. No wonder he can win the hearts of girls in the city.

Since marrying the only daughter in the city, Fu Tiancheng coaxed his father-in-law to pass on the class to him, which meant that he had established a firm foothold in the city.

Fu Manshan and Jiang Fengxia only met Fu Tiancheng's family two or three times when they got married and had their grandson, and they never contacted them again. Over the years, Fu Tiancheng didn't even come back for the Chinese New Year.

If he hadn't heard Zhang Jianguo and his wife talking about it the last time he went to the city, he wouldn't even know that his son worked in a boiler factory.

"What are you doing here!" Thinking of this, Fu Manshan became even more angry.

Fu Tiancheng came here from the old house. He thought his parents would live poorly here, but he found that the house was a little shabby, but the yard was tidy and the doors and windows were tightly closed.

Most importantly, there was the aroma of frying food and meat in the yard.

"Dad, what delicious food are you making?" Fu Tiancheng sniffed and walked towards the kitchen.

"Woof!" Heiwa rushed over and barked at Fu Tiancheng.

Fu Tiancheng didn't dare to move. He looked at Fu Manshan fearfully, "Dad! When did we get a dog at home? It's not popular these days. Be careful, someone might catch them and beat them to death."

"I'm going to beat you to death, you heartless thing," Jiang Fengxia said, wearing an apron and holding a pair of long chopsticks. "Get out of here! You're not welcome here!"

Fu Tiancheng smiled flatteringly. His parents loved him the most when he was a child, so what he said now must be angry. "Mom and Dad, I know I was wrong. Didn't I come back to see you?"

"You came from the old house, didn't you hear what your second and third brothers said?" Fu Manshan said with his hands behind his back, his tone neutral. "I have severed ties with them and am just waiting for you to come back and sign the agreement."

"Dad, we're family, what's the point of severing our ties?" Fu Tiancheng looked at the two elders disapprovingly. "As parents, aren't we supposed to sacrifice everything for our children? The second and third sons just wanted a chicken, and you're so mad about it? The whole village knows about it, and you're satisfied with just seeing our family make a fool of itself."

Fu Manshan was very sad. They sacrificed their whole lives, but what did they get in the end?

Nothing but endless exploitation and humiliation.

"What are you doing here? Don't even mention coming to see me and your mother. No one would come back empty-handed after not seeing their son for seven or eight years."

Something was still exploding in the house. Seeing that the old man was not angry, Jiang Fengxia went back with peace of mind. She had already given up hope.

Fu Tiancheng was stared at by Heiwa, not daring to move, "Dad, I really came back to see you and..."

"Woof woof!" Heiwa couldn't stand it anymore.

"I, I, I... I came back to ask if you could go into the mountains and get me some game or some mountain products. I'm going to be promoted to team leader soon. As long as I give the director a little gift, I guarantee it will be possible. When it's done, I'll take you and my mother to the city to enjoy life!"

Fu Manshan snorted coldly, he had guessed it long ago.

"My legs and feet are not good, and I can't climb the mountain anymore. You grew up here, so go by yourself, or ask the second or third brother to go."

Fu Tiancheng frowned in dissatisfaction. He had lived a life of luxury, how could he do such a thing?

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Fu Lao Er and Fu Lao San, fearing that their eldest brother would give their parents good things, also followed.

The three brothers stood in the yard, but no one dared to go in. With Heiwa's appearance, it was not difficult for him to bite three people to death in one breath.

Hearing that his elder brother came for game, Fu Lao Er suddenly had an idea, "Brother, that's easy, I just need to go up the mountain, that's it..."

"Then I can do it too. It's just hunting some wild game. It's not that difficult. We all grew up in the Daqing Mountains." Fu Tianming was not willing to be left behind.

Fu Tiancheng knew the two brothers too well. There was no such thing as nothing without profit. Things were definitely not as simple as they said.

"Our children Chengru and Chengjie will be six after the Lunar New Year. The school said they can attend classes first and then start school when they turn seven, but they will have to pay some tuition..."

Fu Tianyun's words made Fu Lao San frown. Zhaodi in his family was about the same age as the second wife's child, so this could be used as an excuse to ask his eldest brother for some money.

"It's the same for our Zhaodi. She will be able to go to school next New Year."

Zhaodi, who was hiding on the side, was delighted. Study? Would her father let her study?

Fu Tiancheng felt a little relieved. "Then I'll give you three dollars, which is enough. The tuition fee for a year is only 80 cents."

"That won't work, big brother. Children need clothes, shoes, school bags, and notebooks for school. Either you give us money and we can buy them ourselves, or you prepare them for us. I want new ones."

Fu Tianming also said: "At least ten dollars, five dollars per person."

Fu Tiancheng gritted his teeth. His monthly salary was only 25 yuan. He had looked for wild game in many places recently but couldn't find any. He was really at a loss, so he remembered that there was a Daqing Mountain at home.

"Okay!" Fu Tiancheng thought that the New Year was coming soon, and if he couldn't find it, he would miss the holiday gift, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Fu Manshan, who was listening quietly at the side, looked at his three sons with disdain. They were brothers, but they were so shameless.

When Fu Baoer heard the conversation between the few people, her heart moved. She knew that her grandfather had gone to the city a few days ago to sell two wild game. She also heard her grandfather telling her grandmother about the conversation between the Zhang family. She easily figured out the key point.

You want wild game, right? Hehe, Fu Baoer comes up with a plan.

With Heiwa guarding them, the three brothers couldn't take a single step forward even if they wanted to go into the house to see what delicious food their mother was cooking. They had no choice but to go home, looking back every few steps.
