During dinner, Ye Lin and Fu Ming sat on one side, Fu Ling pulled Fu Yun along, and the two children sat next to Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui.
Looking at his family at the table, Boss Fu couldn't help but feel happy.
"Our table is finally full. I never thought that Ah Ming, the older brother, is still unmarried, while Ah Wan already has two daughters."
Fu Ming, who was engrossed in eating, was suddenly criticized by his father, and he rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
"I also want to get married. If you can guarantee that I can get married and have a daughter, I'll be happy to do so."
He gets really annoyed by the boys in the village now. He just saw a bunch of boys pushing and shoving each other and fighting at the door.
That's so uncivilized!
He had no idea that he had grown up in the same way.
"I love my daughter! I love my daughter too!"
After saying that, he happily scooped a large spoonful of egg for each of Fu Yun and Fu Ling.
Fu Ling smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
Fu Yun smiled shyly as well.
Both children are very cute. Fu Ling was dark-skinned and thin when she was with the Shen family, but after returning to the Fu family, she ate fish almost every day. She not only gained a lot of weight, but also became much fairer.
After dinner and returning to her room to sleep, Fu Wan suddenly remembered another problem.
The two children are still young, and I can still squeeze in with them, but the children are growing up day by day, so building a house and dividing the rooms needs to be put on the agenda!
When Fu Yun and Fu Ling saw Fu Wan sitting there with her brows furrowed, they thought she had encountered some trouble.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Fu Ling lay on Fu Wan's back, while Fu Yun touched the back of Fu Wan's hand with her small hand as a gesture of comfort.
Fu Wan then noticed that the two children were looking at her with concern, and quickly explained with a smile.
“It’s okay. Mom thinks you’re all growing up soon and need your own rooms. I’m going to talk to Grandpa about building a big house.”
"You want to build a big house?!"
Fu Ling was so excited that she jumped and bounced on the bed. Not only did she jump around by herself, but she also pulled Fu Yun to join her.
"Keep your voice down, you want to get beaten up?"
"When the bed breaks, you can sleep with Wangcai!"
Fu Wan quickly called a halt, and when Fu Ling heard that she was going to sleep with Wangcai, she obediently sat on the bed.
Wangcai sleeps in the yard, without a bed or a mother. She's not stupid.
"Alright, you two go to sleep. I'm going to talk to your grandparents."
After saying that, Fu Wan gave each of them a tap on the forehead. "Goodnight, sweet dreams, babies."
Fu Ling, as usual, hugged her small blanket and went to sleep. Fu Yun also hugged a brand new small blanket. After Fu Wan turned off the light, she touched the spot where Fu Wan had just kissed her with her little hand, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve up.
After finally coaxing both children to sleep, Fu Wan took a flashlight and went out to find Boss Fu and the others to discuss something.
Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui were still awake at this time. Boss Fu was enjoying the cool air in the yard, while Ye Xiaocui was taking a bath in the backyard.
"Dad, aren't you asleep yet?"
Boss Fu was sitting in a chair playing with Wangcai when he heard Fu Wan's voice and turned around.
"Wait for your mother, go back to your room right away."
Seeing that Fu Wan was no longer followed by her two little shadows, Old Master Fu understood, "Are the children all asleep?"
Fu Wan nodded, "Dad, I was thinking, shouldn't we build a new house?"
Fu Laoda has been thinking about this for the past few days. He has saved up quite a bit of money, and even without using the money in Fu Wan and Fu Ming's savings accounts, he can still build a nice big house.
"Tomorrow I'll go to the village chief to get a plot of land for building a house, and then I'll ask those in the village who are building houses how their wages are calculated."
"Dad, let's build separate houses for my brother and me, then you can live with me."
Fu Ming was still awake, and he was displeased when he heard this.
"How can your parents live with you? I am their son, so naturally they should live with me."
"Don't even mention your parents, you and Lingling will have to live with me, so making the house bigger won't make a difference."
Fu Ming became more and more excited as he spoke, wishing he could start building that big house right now.
Fu Wan knew that Fu Ming meant well, but she also had her own considerations.
"Brother, you're not married yet. It's inconvenient for me to live with you and have a child. Even if your future wife is willing, the child will need his own space when he grows up."
The reason I asked my parents to live with me is that I don't plan to move back to the old brick house; I intend to build an apartment building.
"Whether they want to live in this old house or come to live with me in the future, I can take care of them in their old age."
Ye Xiaocui had just come out carrying the washed clothes when she heard her daughter's words.
I was almost moved to tears.
"We're not going anywhere, we'll just stay here."
"Honey, when you go to the village chief to get the land for your house, don't go too far. If the two of you, brother and sister, live together, you can take care of each other in the future."
Boss Fu nodded in agreement, "Then let's build two. First, build A-Wan's, then A-Ming's. If I don't have enough money, I'll get more from you."
Fu Wan had no objection; she still had the money to build the house.
Fu Ming had no idea how much money was in his savings account; it was still being managed by Ye Xiaocui.
With the house-building project settled, he opened his mouth and then stammered, "Dad, can I build a house like A-Wan's?"
What an impressive building! If I built two buildings, wouldn't everyone in the village be green with envy?
From now on, I'll walk with a swagger!
Before Boss Fu could even speak, he quickly promised, "If I don't have enough money in my savings account, I'll cover A-Wan's first. I'll work hard to catch fish and earn enough money first."
"Then let's build two buildings, both made of blue bricks. I'll draw a sketch later, and you can ask about it for me, Dad."
Seeing Fu Ming's expectant look, Fu Wan couldn't bear to let her brother suffer.
Houses were built quickly in the countryside because there were many people, but most houses in the 1980s were simple tile-roofed houses.
Take Fu Laojia's house for example, which is a landmark tiled house in the village: only the living room uses a batch of blue bricks, while the kitchen and backyard are made of adobe bricks.
There's no way around it, blue bricks are expensive!
Fu Wan plans to build a sturdy house in the village so that she can come back to live out her old age.
As for buying houses outside, those are all for investment, for the children.
After all, she was used to living by the sea and planned to live there for the rest of her life.
The matter of approving the land for building a house was temporarily settled. Fu Wan went back to her room, took out paper and pen, and began to draw according to her own preferences.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. In the neighboring Shenjia Village, Old Lady Shen lies on her bed, starving and unable to even turn over.
That damned Xu Zhaolan didn't leave her a single grain of food. If it weren't for Village Chief Shen sending her a small bag of grain out of consideration for their shared clan, she probably would have starved to death at home.
"Mother, I'm back!"
A somewhat familiar voice came from the doorway. Old Mrs. Shen opened her mouth, but couldn't remember who it was.
It can't be that Shen Qiusheng, that beast, suddenly had a change of heart and came back to see if she was dead or not, can it?
