"Dad, are you drunk?"

A Yuan looked at his father in confusion as he was skillfully adding some charcoal to the brazier on the carriage.

Fu Dabai's face was still red, and he smiled like a cunning red-haired fox. He sat back next to Yuan and pointed at the car door and whispered:

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you. Does your father look drunk?"

Ah Yuan imitated him and whispered the truth:

"Before getting on the bus."

"It's not like eating from a basket or riding in a carriage."

Yuan was even more confused: "It was given by those uncles."

Fu Dabai pointed at the packages of meat and said to Yuan in detail:

“It was given by your father’s brothers, but it was also what your father wanted.

This package of food is enough for our family to eat, but not enough to share among the whole family.

If your father pretends to be drunk, they will give me the food, and I will have enough to eat when I take it back."

"But," Yuan hesitated, "Aren't they Daddy's brothers?

Grandma said it's wrong for family members to play tricks on each other and take advantage of each other!"

"That means our family," Fu Dabai still had to save face in front of his daughter, so he had to explain to save his image:

"These were all paid for by your uncle, and the others are just taking advantage of him. Your uncle usually has things for us to do, so he doesn't mind us taking advantage of him.

I, your father, am the most useful and have contributed the most among these people, so naturally I should get the most.

Skinny guy always plays dumb and won't give up what he gets. Other people's families are not well off, so I won't take the things even if they give them to me.

But the third and fifth brothers have all these, they are smart and willing to do favors, so they won’t refuse their things for nothing.”

After Fu Dabai finished his analysis, he told Yuan:

"This is not called taking advantage of them, this is called mutual benefit. If they ask me to help with something later, I won't be able to refuse.

In short, no one suffers any loss.”

A Yuan's little head was not very smart, so he naturally did not ask questions like what the bearded uncle asked them to do or how his father could help them.

He seemed confused by his father's detailed explanations and teachings. It seemed as if some of the wisdom in his blood tried to awaken because of these words, but in the end he woke up to nothing. Yuan didn't understand much, but he knew that his father had not done anything bad.

Yuan thought for a long time and asked him again:

"The carriage didn't take advantage of me, did it?"

A fool can often hit the nail on the head unintentionally!

Fu Dabai: This...how can I put it!

"A Yuan," Fu Dabai said with some embarrassment.

"Actually, you're still very heavy, but that's because Daddy is too lazy to carry you back home. It would take two hours and it would be very tiring."

Fu Dabai is always frank and open, but since he was talking to his daughter, he felt a little embarrassed and even made up a lie about A Yuanchen to save his image.

Yuan didn't hear the second half of the sentence at all. The idiot was completely immersed in the joy of knowing that she was so serious.

Very heavy means weight, which means fat, which means she is healthy and blessed!

Yuan had no idea that this sentence was very heavy. It was simply because Fu Dabai was too lazy and embarrassed to say it directly, so he made up an excuse to cover up his mistake and introduce the second half of the sentence.

For a long time afterwards, Yuan thought that he was not thin, but just fat in a hidden way.

Although the carriage was fast, the father and son stayed in the county for a long time, so it was still dark when they returned to Daxi Village.

When Fu Dabai was still some distance away from the village entrance, he put on the cotton hat he had prepared earlier for A Yuan, took A Yuan out of the carriage, and did not let the coachman drive the carriage to take them home to avoid gossip.

By now, Yuan's hair had been dried by the brazier. He was wearing a cotton hat and thick clothes, so he didn't feel cold at all.

Although Lao Fu's family was poor, the winter clothes for both adults and children were made very thick, so no one caught a cold that winter.

Fu Dabai was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see the road clearly and might fall, so he picked her up. Normally, the village would be very quiet at this time and everyone should be asleep.

But today was different. As soon as they entered the village, the father and daughter realized something was wrong.

“It’s so lively over there.”

A Yuan pointed in a direction and said to his father.

Fu Dabai's heart sank when he saw this, and he quickly quickened his pace and ran with his daughter in his arms:

"My idiot! Is it so lively?! Our home is over there!"

This is definitely the busiest time for the Lao Fu family in recent decades. The last time it was so lively was when Lao Fu's father was buried.

At that time, Lao Fu's family was extremely poor and could not even afford a proper funeral, so many people from the village came to help.

The family in the east brought a basket of vegetables, and the family in the west sent a bag of rice. After the banquet was over and the old man was buried, there were even more things in the kitchen.

This time was not as lively as last time, but at least half of the village’s people came!

The villagers gathered in front of Lao Fu's house, talking about something.

Fu Dabai hurried back holding A Yuan.

When someone saw them, they quickly made way for them, shouting:

"Make way, Fu Da is back with the child, let him in."

The crowd parted to make a path, and Fu Dabai quickly squeezed through holding A Yuan. People on both sides were talking loudly to him.

"Fu Da, your family is in for a treat this time!"

"That's right, such a big wild boar!"

"Tsk tsk, it's just that your Fu Si daughter-in-law is a bit unlucky."

"That's right, the big pig is the only one injured."

"How can a wild boar come down the mountain?"

"Old Fu family is also unlucky!"

"Your family is unlucky, but you got a fat pig? That's good luck!"

They were chatting about this and that, and I don't know who started it, but soon the topic turned to sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried pork, and sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli.

There is also someone talking about how to make the big pancake and steamed bun taste better!

That thing makes my throat hurt no matter what I do!

Fu Dabai is so angry, is there anyone who can talk to him about what's going on?
