After waiting for about two hours, the tightly closed iron gate finally opened, much to Lou Xiao'e's chagrin.
Lou Xiao'e's parents walked out of there, their faces filled with disbelief.
Lou Xiao'e could no longer hold back and shouted, "Dad, Mom!"
Then he lunged forward like a cannonball.
Fatty hadn't returned to the courtyard house for two days, nor had he shown up at the factory, which worried Aunt Fatty and the others terribly.
Fortunately, he made a timely phone call to the director's office, saying that he had been temporarily summoned to cook at a leader's home and was asked to keep it a secret, and asked the director to help him ask for leave.
After the director made a small-scale announcement in the cafeteria, the staff finally felt at ease.
It was at this moment that everyone realized that Fatty had become their pillar of support.
※※※※※※
In Stardew Valley.
The fat man looked at the tenth livestock shed, which was finally completed, and then looked at the newly issued main quest with excitement on his face.
Task: Achieve a 13-heart level of affection with Emily.
Mission Rewards: Star Fruit, Advanced Cooking Skill.
It's here! The ultimate culinary experience is finally here!
This task is actually a marriage task. When the affection level reaches 10 hearts, you can buy a bouquet to confess your love to Emily.
After confessing your feelings and becoming a couple, you can propose to someone else once you gain two more hearts of affection.
After getting married, you can complete the task by accumulating one more heart.
There is no doubt that this is a long-term task.
As the farm becomes more and more complete, the fat man can obtain more and more resources from Stardew Valley.
First of all, there is no shortage of food and drink. The farm has chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, and even several dairy cows and beef cattle.
When we wanted to eat meat, we'd drag it back to the yurt... cough cough, I mean, back to the wooden house to process it, cook it in the kitchen, and then pack it in a lunchbox to take home.
The fat man wasn't as simple-minded as Sha Zhu. Not content with just swaggering around with his net bag, he also had to deliver all the good food and drinks from his lunchbox to the widow's house.
His family always kept their doors closed and lived their own quiet lives.
Secondly, there were various agricultural and livestock products. The fat man converted all of these into resources to develop the farm and upgrade his skills.
On the table in the cabin, four bright orange gold bars were prominently displayed!
This is a thank-you gift from Lou Bancheng.
After rescuing Lou Xiao'e's parents that day, the fat man was invited to their home.
During the conversation, it was revealed that the idea of suggesting that their family transfer all their assets to a location unknown to Xu Damao was actually given to Lou Xiao'e by Fatty.
Lou Bancheng couldn't help but sigh, "A hasty marriage should end hastily. I was wrong back then."
Lou Xiao'e forced a smile: "Dad, please don't mention this matter again. I've already forgotten about the past."
Lou Xiao'e's mother was filled with mixed emotions. If Lou Xiao'e hadn't married Xu Damao, but instead married this fat man in front of her...
But he was quickly startled by this audacious idea; Xiao'e was a full six years older than him!
Lou Bancheng insisted that the fat man stay at his house for one night, as a way of showing hospitality.
As dusk fell, he came to the fat man's room carrying a box: "I am deeply grateful, but this is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will not refuse it."
The fat man didn't even look at what was in the box, and said to him bluntly, "Uncle Lou, if you really want to thank me, give me a sewing ticket."
"Sewing plane tickets?"
Lou Bancheng was completely stumped by him. The things he packed in the box were enough to buy a sewing machine factory!
For a moment, Lou Bancheng felt like he had punched the air, feeling extremely uncomfortable, neither here nor there.
Lou Bancheng took a while to organize his thoughts: "Xiao Kang, may I ask if I may? You want to sew plane tickets?"
"Oh, it's for my wife. She's always wanted a sewing machine, but it's hard to get the tickets."
The fat man was telling the truth. Tickets were hard to come by, but not impossible; he just didn't want to waste his connections on them.
He often earns extra money outside, and his family has long been well-fed and clothed, so why would he need a sewing machine?
Lou Bancheng stared blankly at the fat man, probably trying to figure out whether he was genuine or not. After a while, he reluctantly put away the box in his hand and apologized, saying, "I was presumptuous. I shouldn't have offended my benefactor with these filthy things."
The fat man said seriously, "Uncle Lou, if you say that, it will be difficult for me to see Sister Xiao'e again in the future."
Lou Bancheng's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and left the room with a look of shame.
That night, Lou Xiao'e kicked open the fat man's door!
He learned that even ladies from well-to-do families can kick down doors...
Lou Xiao'e always used verbs when she was angry. She glared at the fat man and said, "In your eyes, everything in my house is dirty, right?"
"Stop labeling me! If you know what's good for you, hand over your sewing machine ticket and pay me back for the sewing machine!"
Lou Xiao'e burst out laughing at his self-righteous manner.
She tossed a cloth bag wrapped in red silk to the fat man in a huff.
The fat man opened it and, lo and behold! There was a sewing machine ticket, a bicycle ticket, a watch ticket, and a radio ticket.
This is a complete set of "three turns and one sound" (referring to a radio, a watch, a dial indicator, and a microphone)!
In addition, there were four bright orange gold bars...
Seeing that the fat man's expression was not good, Lou Xiao'e advised him, "Just take it. It's all just material possessions. Just that box of mine that I'm stuck in that courtyard could be exchanged for so much of what you have."
After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, she solemnly took out a box.
It was clearly not the one Lou Bancheng had taken before. But Lou Xiao'e's expression told the fat man that what was inside this one was even more valuable than that one.
Lou Xiao'e whispered to the fat man, "This is our family heirloom. My parents discussed it and felt that it wasn't safe to keep it anywhere, so they thought it would be better to ask you to pass it on to a high-ranking leader to ensure our family's safety."
This time, the fat man was truly shocked by Lou Bancheng's decisiveness.
He gave away a priceless treasure so readily; he truly understands the meaning of "money is just an external thing"...
The fat man refused to take the box and instead asked Lou Xiao'e, "Do you remember what the big boss said to you when we were leaving that day?"
The top leader instructed: "Don't tell anyone what happened inside. After you get out, go hide wherever you can."
Lou Xiao'e looked at the fat man in surprise: "You mean?"
The fat man sighed: "It seems your parents still have illusions."
Lou Xiao'e murmured, "It's just a fantasy..."
The fat man said in a deep voice, "It's far more serious than you imagine."
Lou Xiao'e was completely at a loss: "I, I'll go and talk to my parents about it."
"..."
The front yard was bustling with activity early Sunday morning.
