On October 2nd, Fatty took his family on a "tour" to Hongxing Commune.
Yu Li, Chen Mengqi, Chen Yan, Chen Fang, Ben Lei Hu, Yu Qian, Zhang Qian, Qin Long Hu, Sha Zhu, and Xiao Dang all came along.
Xu Damao also wanted to come, but his daughter Xu Xiyue was too young and he dared not bring her out, so he had to give up.
Life in the Red Star Commune has improved a lot.
At least the fisherman was able to offer them tea and fresh persimmons.
The fat man asked him to kill two chickens and get some pork, and he would cook firewood chicken at his place for lunch.
The fisherman contributed a few more fresh fish, then stood aside watching the two chefs, Fatty and Silly Pillar, perform.
The aroma attracted many villagers, especially a group of children, who stood at a distance, sniffing and drooling...
Besides the fisherman, the brigade leader, village chief, and brigade secretary were also invited to lunch at noon.
The fisherman felt no burden whatsoever; the fat man had paid him.
The two of them have been working together for 12 years, since 1965. Fatty is very generous; every time he comes to Boss Yu's house, it's like celebrating the New Year.
If Boss Yu had a daughter, he would have arranged for her to marry Fatty long ago!
This is Chen Mengqi's first time visiting the countryside.
Everything was new and exciting to her. The fat man deliberately tested her, pointing at this and asking her what it was, then pointing at that and asking her what it was.
As a result, she didn't recognize anything except radishes, which was a huge blow to the little girl.
The fat man told her at the right moment, "So don't look down on rural kids just because you're from the city. While they're working in the fields, you're still clinging to your mother's neck and acting like a spoiled child!"
Chen Mengqi couldn't believe it: "How come they have to do chores at such a young age?"
Xiao Dang arrived at some unknown time, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but say to Chen Mengqi, "Don't even mention them. When I was your age, I also helped with chores at home every day! Washing clothes, cooking, taking care of my younger sister... I was never idle all day long."
Chen Mengqi hugged Xiao Dang's leg and said in a soft voice, "My sister is so pitiful."
"..."
Another thing that made Fatty laugh and cry was that Chen Mengqi would say "Xu Jiang" whenever she saw a dog.
The fat man then remembered that he had promised to bring Xu Jiang back as soon as possible, but he immediately forgot about it again...
The fat man said to his daughter somewhat guiltily, "It's not Xu Jiang, it's Wangcai, that one is called Da Mao, and that one is called Sha Zhu."
Before Sha Zhu could even get angry, Xiao Dang started nagging, "You're so mean! Don't talk bad about my stupid dad!"
Sha Zhu suddenly appeared and said, "Hey, you..." But when he saw Chen Mengqi, he couldn't bring himself to say "You little bastard."
Back at the courtyard house, the first thing Fatty did was find an excuse to sneak into Stardew Valley.
Emily somehow cultivated a flower garden on the farm, planted "Rose Fairy" roses, and built many beehives next to it.
Xu Jiang was in the flowerbed, chasing butterflies with a silly look on his face.
At the first sound, its ears perked up alertly. But when it saw it was Fatty, its previously goofy face turned pitiful.
It's incredibly anthropomorphic; its little face looks exactly like a five-year-old child who's been wronged.
Fatty waved to Xu Jiang, and it came running over excitedly, jumping all over Fatty with its tail wagging like a propeller.
The fat man gently stroked the dog's head and said with a sigh, "A dog usually only lives for fifteen or sixteen years, but you're exactly the same as before. Even I'm getting old..."
Xu Jiang didn't understand what he meant, but he could sense the fat man's emotions, so he obediently crawled down beside him.
When they found Emily, she was shearing sheep in the barn.
She's an NPC, and when the fat guy isn't around, the area she can move around in each day is limited to the farm.
I can't go to town to see my sister, and I can't go to the bar where I used to work to help out or relax. It's so pitiful...
After spending some time with Emily, they had a meal in the cabin and took the opportunity to examine the bracelet that Lou Xiao'e had left behind.
In the TV series, Sha Zhu wrapped the bracelet in oil paper and hid it in the cracks between the bricks behind the power switch in the cellar.
But ever since the incident of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu meeting in the cellar, Fatty felt that the place was unsafe no matter how he looked at it.
He guessed that Sha Zhu probably didn't hide the bracelet there at first. Over the years, he must have moved it to many different places, hiding it here and there so that Widow Qin wouldn't find it.
After comforting Emily, the fat man led Xu Jiang to the beach in Stardew Valley to catch a few "sea cucumbers".
When they came out, the sea cucumbers had become dried spiny sea cucumbers, which was particularly humane.
The fat man went to Liu Lan's house again, and as soon as she saw him, she complained, "You're treating me like an outsider now, aren't you? What, you want to break up?"
The fat man grabbed a pair of tennis balls without hesitation and started practicing: "What are you saying? You're willing to use them!"
Liu Lan's voice trembled with tears: "Then why aren't you including me in the special tutoring anymore?"
"Hey, I didn't know what was wrong. I was just thinking that during the National Day holiday, you could stay home and spend time with the kids."
Liu Lan slowly snuggled against him: "You're not in the cafeteria anymore, I don't see you all the time, I can only be with you when I'm cooking special meals..."
I never expected it was for this reason.
The fat man patted her hook: "Since you're willing, then I'll take you with me. As long as you don't get tired of it, I'll keep taking you with me."
Liu Lan's eyes welled up with tears: "Did you say that?"
The fat man patted his chest: "I said it!"
Two blushes appeared on Liu Lan's face as she whispered, "Sir, draw the curtains. I borrowed a seersucker swimsuit from an acquaintance..."
hiss!
"..."
It was four hours later when I left Liu Lan's house.
The fat man looked at Xu Jiang and couldn't help but feel that the guy looked at him with disdain.
He must be seeing things.
Back home, Chen Mengqi beamed with joy as soon as she saw Xu Jiang.
She clung to Xu Jiang's neck and wouldn't let go.
Xu Jiang also liked her very much, sticking out his tongue to carefully lick her hand, his little tail wagging incessantly.
At this moment, Yu Li heard the noise and came out, saying, "Qiqi, if you really like Xu Jiang, then you should build it a little nest yourself and take care of it from now on. Otherwise, you can have your dad send it back to the countryside!"
When Xu Jiang heard that it was going to be sent away, it started whimpering pitifully; Chen Mengqi hugged its neck and said loudly, "I will take care of it, you are not allowed to send it away!"
Xu Jiang is very perceptive. He had let Fatty take Chen Mengqi away because she was still young and very active.
Now that Chen Mengqi is all grown up, and since my daughter likes her, let her raise her. The main purpose is to provide companionship.
Chen Fang returned in the evening.
Upon seeing the fat man, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face full of disbelief!
