Fu Cheng felt a headache when he mentioned this. After a moment of silence, he said, "The more I talk about it, the more embarrassed she feels. It's better not to say anything."
Fu Yuan could see that his sister-in-law was indeed a bit concerned about her reputation.
He was aggressive and ruthless in front of Fu Cheng, but he was a little timid in front of these people he didn't know well.
Timid and shy.
Fu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Mom also asked me to bring a lot of things for my brother and sister-in-law. I'll bring them over when the time comes."
Fu Cheng nodded, "Okay. Brother, let's talk about it when you get to Ningcheng. Be careful on the road."
Fu Yuan and his companions usually travel with guards.
But it's not like I haven't encountered unfaithful people before.
Fu Yuan said, "You should be careful too."
There might be people who are desperate and do stupid things.
However, Fu Yuan knew that his brother was a man with his own rules in mind, so he didn't need to worry about it.
"Got it, bro."
The call was disconnected.
In the evening, Fu Cheng returned to the military compound and casually told Song Shengsheng about this.
"Shengsheng, my brother will come to Ningcheng the day after tomorrow."
Song Shengsheng took a while to react after hearing this, "Your brother? Which brother?"
Fu Cheng raised his hand and pulled the man in front of him: "My dear brother, he came here on a business trip with the minister, and just happened to come and see us."
Song Shengsheng got nervous when she heard about her uncle. Her uncle was even less talkative than Fu Cheng! He seemed to be able to see through all her schemes and tricks at a glance. Not only was she shy, she also felt guilty.
"I-We're going back soon, aren't we? Wouldn't it be too much trouble for him to come all the way here?"
"Not on purpose, just by chance."
"That's also very troublesome." Song said weakly, "And where will the eldest uncle live after he comes? Although we have extra rooms in our house, they haven't been cleaned for a long time. Isn't it not good to let the eldest uncle live in such a small room?"
Fu Cheng looked at her panic and smiled, "My brother lives in a guesthouse."
Song Shengsheng immediately relaxed and blurted out the truth: "That's good."
Fu Cheng's eyes were slightly curious: "Are you so afraid of my brother? Has he been mean to you in private?"
Song Shengsheng felt a little embarrassed when she was looked at like this. She shook her head and said, "No. I just think that my uncle is a little hard to mess with. I'm afraid I have somehow upset him."
Fu Cheng stroked her hair and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we don't see each other often anyway."
It is inevitable during festivals.
At other times, his brother would also know his limits.
But it's a good thing that she is afraid of his brother.
Fu Cheng is now on guard against everyone, including his brother.
It's not that he is petty or jealous.
But Song Shengsheng is really too attractive.
She is also very deceitful and may abandon him once she gets a taste of the sweetness given by others.
“Hmmmm!”
*
The next day, after Fu Yuan finished his official duties, he took a bus to Ningcheng.
It was late at night when he arrived, and he waited until the next morning to go to the Public Security Bureau to find an old classmate who was a public security friend in Ningcheng, and found out about Huo Yan's past few years in Ningcheng.
"He seems to have distant relatives in Ningcheng. I heard that they are not related by blood and they just met each other halfway. But he hasn't been in contact with that family for a long time. They have been separated since he got into trouble."
"He is now an active member of the farm, has made many contributions, and his life has become much better."
"The information you want is in this bag. You can take your time to look through it."
"I have already said hello to the comrades at the farm. If you want to meet him later, just go directly there."
This was also the first time that Public Security Liu met Fu Yuan. He knew that he came from a higher-up position and had powerful connections.
He couldn't help but add: "Comrade Huo Yan has been very honest during the transformation of the farm in the past few years. The people above are..."
Fu Yuan took the information and smiled faintly: "Some things still need to be reviewed and it's not convenient to talk about them. If Comrade Huo Yan was not involved, I guarantee that no one among us would be able to wrongly accuse him."
Since Fu Yuan came here to find out information.
Of course he couldn't do it openly, he had to act in private and never let anyone see that he wanted to get Huo Yan out of the farm.
He also has to do the opposite, making people mistakenly think that he is here to cause trouble.
Public Security Liu smiled and said, "Comrade Fu, of course I trust you."
Fu Yuan got the information and put it in the car without rushing to open it.
He asked the driver to drive the car to the military compound first. When he arrived, he checked his watch in advance and estimated that his brother and sister-in-law were at home, so he went to disturb them.
In the back seat were gifts from home.
Boxes of all sizes were neatly packed.
Fu Yuan arrived at an unfortunate moment, as Fu Cheng had just gone to the cafeteria to get his meal.
Song Shengsheng was lying lazily on the sofa, with her legs stretched out, her head resting on the pillow, and a collection of poems in her hands. She was reading with great interest and was too lazy to move even when she heard the knock on the door.
She thought it was a neighbor who came to borrow soy sauce, so she didn't even raise her eyelids and asked her son to open the door.
"Xiaochi, go see who's here."
It rained today, and little Fu Luochi was wearing the small rain boots that his mother bought for him a few days ago.
Overalls, a beige cotton top, and small rain boots on the feet.
The whole person looks very delicate and lovely.
Fu Luochi obediently went to the door, and was not very surprised to see his uncle, "Uncle."
Very calm and composed.
Fu Yuan picked up the boy from the ground and said, "He seems to have become a lot heavier."
The last time Fu Yuan saw his nephew was half a year ago. At that time, he came to the military district in Ningcheng. Fu Cheng brought the child to the army dormitory and met him by chance.
The nephew looks like his younger brother and has a similar temper.
Fu Yuan hugged him, but he was still reluctant and tried to break free from his uncle's arms.
Fu Yuan pinched his face and said, "Why don't you let me hug you?"
Fu Luochi avoided his face. He didn't like being pinched. He frowned and said, "Uncle, I want to get down."
Fu Yuan would not force a child, so he followed his opinion and put him down. He followed him into the house, but before he entered, he heard noises coming from the living room at the door.
"The soy sauce is in the kitchen, the honeycomb coal is in the compartment under the window, and if you want eggs, there are a few in the cabinet. If you want them, Aunt Liu, just take them all and use them first."
Aunt Liu usually comes to borrow some things.
This time Song Shengsheng also thought it was her.
Fu Yuan paused, and two seconds later, he entered the house.
Song Shengsheng waited for a while but heard nothing. She sat up lazily from the sofa. Her long hair was a little messy. She called the child as she sat up: "Xiao Chi, go get Aunt Liu..."
The words got stuck in his throat when he saw Fu Yuan clearly.
She was like a fish trapped on the shore, about to jump up suddenly. Her breathing became tense and her face suddenly felt hot.
Ahhhh, this is really embarrassing.
Being seen in a mess.
She took a few deep breaths and tried to straighten the messy sofa with a stiff body.
Slowly arrange the pillows and sofa covers.
"Uncle." Song Shengsheng raised her hand to tidy up her hair. She couldn't open her mouth. She became nervous when facing her elders. "Why are you here suddenly?"
Fu Yuan thought Fu Cheng didn't tell her, so he stood at the door and didn't go in.
My sister-in-law seemed to be quite afraid of him. She sat upright like a timid primary school student. She seemed to have met the most severe teacher and was so scared that she didn't know where to put her hands.
Fu Yuan felt uncomfortable, but he calmed down for the time being: "I just happened to be here on a business trip, where are the people from Fucheng?"
Song Shengsheng felt a little resentful when she thought of this. Fu Cheng went at this time instead of earlier or later, leaving her alone to deal with her uncle.
Her lazy look was seen by her eldest uncle, and she didn't know what he was thinking of her in his heart, which made her already bad impression even worse.
Song Shengsheng was like a mouse seeing a cat, answering the question honestly: "He went to the cafeteria to get food."
In order to make herself look less lazy and ungracious, she added an unnecessary explanation: "I was not feeling well today, so I just lay down at home to rest after get off work."
Song Shengsheng finally remembered: "Brother, do you want some water? I'll pour it for you."
There was hot water in the thermos. She would rather do some work than stand here and stare at her uncle.
Fu Yuan didn't expect Fu Cheng to not be at home at this time. He wasn't thirsty, but he still nodded to her: "Sorry for the trouble, sister-in-law."
Song Shengsheng forced out a dry smile: "No trouble."
After she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and went into the kitchen. After hesitating for a long time, she poured hot water into the porcelain cup and took it out for him.
Fu Yuan's gaze makes people feel more stressed.
Song Shengsheng thought of the scene in which she had just been lying comfortably on the sofa and calling on her five-year-old son, and was caught by him. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head.
She didn't look good just now.
As her mind wandered, her hands moved slowly and she was in a hurry to let go of the teacup when she passed it to her.
Before Fu Yuan could catch it, she pulled her hand back, and the porcelain cup fell to the ground. The hot water inside soaked his sleeves.
Song Shengsheng quickly apologized, and the expression on her face looked like she was about to cry, "Uncle, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry! I didn't mean it. I'll find a handkerchief to wipe it for you."
But Song Shengsheng forgot where he put these little things after packing them up.
She was at a loss and clumsy.
You can tell at first glance that she has never done housework and doesn't seem to know much.
Fu Yuan was as disgusting and stupid as his brother. If it were someone else, he would have shown his displeasure long ago.
But he had been mentally prepared for this brother and sister, so nothing was surprising, so he just felt a little helpless.
It was him whose clothes were wet, so why did she look like she was about to cry?
"It's not a big deal, I'll do it later."
Fu Yuan couldn't stay any longer and asked the driver to bring in all the things in the back seat. "These are what my parents asked me to bring for you, as well as some small items I bought abroad."
Song Shengsheng didn't dare to look up at him, her toes were clenched.
In her heart, she kept urging Fu Cheng to come back quickly, and her voice sounded like she was about to cry out of grievance.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad. Thank you, Uncle."
Fu Yuan: “…”
Are you scared to tears?
Fu Yuan didn't dare to agree with his brother's views and preferences, but he would never marry such a little ancestor home in his life. He felt that she would be wronged to death.
Fortunately, the embarrassment didn't last long.
When Fu Cheng came back from the cafeteria, Song Shengsheng felt that he was the savior who came from the sky!
She suppressed her inner anxiety and walked towards him with dignity. Her dark eyes seemed to be filled with a pitiful color. She secretly hooked his fingers and said, "Uncle is here."
Fu Cheng held her hand with his backhand and rubbed the back of her hand soothingly with his fingertips.
He looked at his eldest brother, not expecting him to come over so suddenly.
He thought his eldest brother wouldn't come over until tomorrow.
"Brother, have you eaten yet?"
Fu Yuan had already had dinner in the guesthouse. He didn't really want to eat with his brother and sister-in-law, as he would feel uncomfortable.
"I've eaten. I may not be free tomorrow, so I'll take some time today to bring the food to you."
Fu Cheng saw a pile of things piled in the corner.
Fu Yuan still had something to talk to his brother alone, but his sister-in-law seemed to be unable to leave him and stuck to him.
Fu Yuan didn't know how to start talking.
However, their home in Ningcheng looked much better than he had imagined and was arranged in an orderly manner.
Very clean.
Very warm.
Fu Yuan was pondering how to start the conversation when two not-so-obvious but audible gurgling sounds suddenly rang out in the living room which had been quiet for a moment.
Song Shengsheng wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.
Her face flushed red, she couldn't even lift her head, and she was about to collapse from embarrassment.
Fu Cheng squeezed her fingers, looked at his brother nonchalantly, and took the pot down, "I'm hungry, we have to eat."
Fu Yuan has seen all kinds of big scenes.
People who have never been embarrassed before and who remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis are now more or less embarrassed at this moment.
Fu Yuan pretended to cough twice, then calmed down and said, "Eat, and we'll talk after you finish eating."
Fu Cheng patted Song Shengsheng's hand and said, "You and Xiaochi eat first."
He looked at his brother, "Let's go to the guest room and talk."
Before Fu Yuan went to the guest room, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of his brother and sister-in-law's expressions, as if they had breathed a sigh of relief.
He frowned and said nothing.
After entering the house, Fu Yuan got straight to the point: "I'm here this time to look after someone on behalf of my father. I may stay for a few more days."
Fu Cheng asked, "Who?"
He didn't remember that his father had an old acquaintance in Ningcheng who needed to be looked after.
Fu Yuan was not very clear about the grievances among his ancestors, let alone his younger brother, who probably didn't even know that the Fu family and the Huo family were once aristocratic families that had been intermarried.
"You don't know him, and you haven't heard of him. This person's identity is a bit sensitive, and he's still undergoing rehabilitation. It's difficult to get him out in the next six months. If it's really inconvenient to get him out, you can ask someone to take care of him for the next few months."
But what is going on?
We have to wait until he meets the person.
Fu Yuan was not as secretive in front of his brother as he was in front of his leaders and subordinates. Occasionally, he showed some real emotions. He said casually, "Come to think of it, I once had an engagement with their family."
"If this family hadn't gone abroad, you might have a sister-in-law now."
Fu Cheng raised his eyebrows: "That's good."
Fu Yuan had finished talking about business and didn't plan to stay any longer.
Lest they feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, I'm going back to the guesthouse first. I'll treat you and your sister-in-law to dinner another day."
Fu Cheng said calmly: "No need."
