Chapter 206 Back Home

Unexpectedly, Zhu Fanfan immediately changed the subject, pointing at Fang Zhiguo and scolding him: "Uncle Fang, even if you are a grown man, you are too careless. You can't even keep such an important thing as a map safe. Luckily, I found it. If someone else had found it, it would have been your carelessness. Do you think you would have encountered another sneaky person on Qibao Road?"

Hang Siyuan: ...His speed in swinging his arms is no less than Zhu Jiabao's.

Fang Zhiguo: ...How come this tremendous credit was given to him?

Zhu Fanfan continued, "You need to explain to Grandpa Hang clearly which sneaky uncle cried to you about how you were soft-hearted and agreed to buy his family heirloom. I was just keeping it safe for you."

It has nothing to do with her. Before she came to Shanghai, her grandfather told her to be low-key when she should be. She was too young and shouldn't take credit for herself. Otherwise, she would be too conspicuous and easily be targeted. Her every move would be monitored, and the possibility of her being exposed would increase.

The Zhu family's status is enough to protect her from harm, so she doesn't need to do anything to make others envious. Especially after she returns, she will be taken care of by the elders of the Dragon Group and officially registered in front of the big leaders, so she can't be too ostentatious.

Fang Zhiguo naturally disagreed: "I didn't."

Hang Siyuan interrupted him directly: "Fang Zhiguo, don't be modest, tell me the situation at that time in detail."

Since Zhu Jiabao was awarded the rank, he has become much more low-key. He always gives credit to others and provides guidance from the sidelines. People think he has the demeanor of a great general and admire him very much.

But someone who's been friends with Zhu Jiabao for so many years must know his character. Something must have happened. He needs someone's support, and the only one who can change him is the only son of the Zhu family. He wants to curry favor so that someone will remember their past and take care of Fanfan after he passes away.

Zhu Jiabao must have said something to Fanfan, so his first reaction to something is to give credit to someone else. Just like when the radio station was found in the cave last time, based on all the reasoning, it was very likely that Fanfan found it. It's just that everyone says that the rescuers found it. He doesn't make any special requests. If someone else found it, then someone else found it!

Although he didn't know why Lao Zhu did this, he respected it and wanted to do him a favor.

Fang Zhiguo understood and was deeply moved. His old leader had taken care of them, and his granddaughter had also been affected. At such a young age, she already knew how to take care of him. He felt unworthy of such kindness and was determined to repay his old leader.

With this achievement, he won't be punished, and there will be no disciplinary action on his record.

That was the decision. The three of them discussed some details and decided that Zhu Fanfan would rest again. She still had time to cultivate the crops properly. Grain was the most important thing for the next ten years or so, so it wouldn't hurt for her to plant more.

They arrived at the station quickly. They had both called ahead. Hang Siyuan had someone pick him up, while Zhu Fanfan was picked up by Lin Wu. As soon as they exited the train station, they saw Lin Wu waiting there. Zhu Fanfan said goodbye to Grandpa Hang, and the two went their separate ways.

Fang Zhiguo went back to his unit to report for duty and they parted ways. Lin Wu drove away with Zhu Fanfan.

On the way, Lin Wu told Zhu Fanfan that after Fanfan left, Zhu Jiabao and his wife seemed to have lost their backbone and were listless in everything they did. It was Lin Xiaofang and Lü Gui who came to keep them company. The key point was that Lin Wu felt that Lin Xiaofang and Zhu Fanfan would definitely get along, so he kept saying that Lin Xiaofang would take good care of her.

Zhu Fanfan fell silent. She didn't think she and Lin Xiaofang would get along, and she didn't know where Uncle Lin got his confidence from. Not wanting to speak ill of Uncle Lin, she remained silent the whole way.

Lin Wu was having a great time talking, but when he saw that Zhu Fanfan was unhappy, he stopped talking. Fanfan was always lively and cheerful, so he thought she was just tired and stopped talking.

When they arrived home, they saw Lin Xiaofang fawning over her grandmother. The grandmother was smiling at Lin Xiaofang. For some reason, Zhu Fanfan suddenly felt very wronged, and tears streamed down her face.

Liu Yumin immediately sensed Zhu Fanfan's presence. When she saw her crying, she panicked. Fanfan was someone she had raised herself, and she could tell when someone was really crying and when they were just pretending.

She rushed over to her and asked, "Our little Fanfan, what's wrong? Did you suffer some injustice? Tell Grandma, and Grandma will get justice for you."

Zhu Fanfan fought back tears and said, "I'm tired, I need to rest."

After saying that, she ignored everyone and left, returning to her room. Liu Yumin quickly followed her.

Seeing this, Zhu Jiabao knew that the girl was getting stuck on something, and said, "Xiao Lin, you should take the child back! Fanfan must be tired after a day's journey and has no energy to celebrate."

Lin Wu knew that their main purpose this time was to celebrate Fanfan's return home. Since the main characters had all left, there was no point in them staying, so he prepared to leave with the children.

Zhu Jiabao said, "Xiao Lin, come to the kitchen with me. I'll pack some food for you to eat at home."

Lin Wu naturally refused: "Uncle Zhu, you keep it for your aunt and uncle. We'll just make something simple when we get home."

Zhu Jiabao advised, "We've prepared a lot of food. Your aunt and I eat in the cafeteria, and we eat very little at home. Even if it goes bad, we might not be able to finish it. Lü Gui is still growing, so he should eat more. As the saying goes, a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home. If a boy goes hungry for too long, it can damage his health."

Lin Wu knew that what Uncle Zhu said was true, so he followed him into the kitchen. Lin Xiaofang offered to help, but Zhu Jiabao refused: "You and Lü Gui can stay in the living room. The children don't need to go into the kitchen. We'll pack it up quickly."

The Zhu family had several lunchboxes, and Zhu Jiabao packed all the dishes. Lin Wu quickly stopped him, saying, "Uncle Zhu, please keep some of these dishes for yourselves. You haven't eaten yet."

Zhu Jiabao said, "Take them all with you! Fanfan must have already eaten; she's not the kind of person who would suffer in silence."

Especially since she also has a space with a kitchen inside. Whatever food you put in, it will come out the same. Hot food will still be steaming when you take it out. He just happened to want to eat roast duck.

Lin Wu had no choice but to accept it, saying, "We'll bring the food over to Uncle Zhu and the others tomorrow once we have some space left."

Zhu Jiabao spoke up: "These things aren't important. Xiao Lin, have you noticed that Fanfan doesn't like Lin Xiaofang?"

Lin Wu was surprised. Fanfan and Xiaofang had only met once, right? They had similar personalities and were about the same age; they should be able to become friends.

Zhu Jiabao sighed helplessly: "What kind of personality do you think Fanfan has?"

Lin Wu believes she is being objective: "Lively and lovely, warm and cheerful, polite, and a sensible little girl."

Zhu Jiabao gave a wry smile: "You really are... Fanfan's true nature is sensitive, she likes to dwell on things, and she is particularly prone to extremism, especially when stimulated, she is prone to going to extremes."
