A unique sweetness instantly filled her mouth. Fu Wan chewed the bun in her mouth and immediately tasted the sweet and chewy octopus, the strong flavor of the chives, and the pork that wasn't greasy at all.
Ye Xiaocui's dough-making skills are also superb. The bun skin is soft, fluffy, and chewy. Fu Wan couldn't get enough after one bite and immediately ate two more bites.
Woohoo, this is so delicious! This is real seafood! What were we eating in Florida before? It was such a waste of seafood!
Qin Anning felt a pang of heartache when she saw Fu Wan finish a palm-sized bun in just a few bites.
She had also lived in the United States for a period of time, and the food there was indeed not to the liking of Chinese people.
Putting everything else aside, even the pork is different. Pigs in the United States are not castrated, so no matter how they are cooked, the pork has a unique, indescribable flavor.
Fortunately, she was focused on her studies at the time, and she got used to eating bread and toast as she ate them.
"Ah Wan, why don't you have this too?"
"No need," Fu Wan waved her hands repeatedly. "Mother and my older brother still have a lot of food waiting for me. I need to save room for the big meal later!"
These words made Qin Anning smile. Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu also withdrew the buns they were about to hand to Fu Wan and began to eat them slowly themselves.
Qin Mingzhu was eating a steamed bun, but her eyes were glued to Fu Wan, as if she would disappear if she didn't look at her for a moment.
Fu Wan felt a pang of heartache seeing this. Qin Mingzhu had also grown a bit taller than before. Just now, when Fu Ling rushed into her arms, Qin Mingzhu looked like she wanted to run over but was also a little timid.
Thinking of this, she hugged the two children tightly. "I brought back two darlings from America. Come on, let me show you!"
Fu Ling was young, and her attention was immediately drawn to the mention of treasure.
"Mommy, what's this treasure? Let me see it!"
Fu Wan stood up and turned to look at Ye Xiaocui. Ye Xiaocui understood and waved her hand, saying, "You guys go ahead and get busy. I'll call you for dinner later!"
With her mother's word, Fu Wan easily made her escape. She took her two children into the room, and before she could even say anything, her room felt somewhat unfamiliar after a week apart.
Fu Laoda and Fu Ming had already placed her luggage at the door of the room. She took the luggage into the room and then took out the two gold coins.
"Look, what is this!"
"Wow, it's so beautiful, is it gold, Mom?"
Fu Ling exclaimed in surprise. Fu Wan placed two gold coins in their palms. Fu Ling, being a little money-grubber, immediately tried to bite them, just like the adults.
Fu Wan quickly stopped her, "Hey, don't bite it. I fished this out of the sea, it's very salty!"
This thing has been at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, and Fu Wan always felt that it wasn't very clean.
Fu Ling was overjoyed with the gold coins, but Qin Mingzhu looked somewhat troubled.
"Godmother, is this real gold?"
Fu Wan smiled and nodded, but Qin Mingzhu immediately put it back in Fu Wan's hand upon hearing this.
"Then I don't want it. This is very valuable. Godmother, you keep it for yourself."
“Your godmother has some; just take what she gave you.”
"I don't want it. The kids are right. I'm staying at my godmother's house, so I can't take more of her things."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan's smile gradually froze, and her face became serious.
Who said that?
Qin Mingzhu shook her head and remained silent, while Fu Ling, standing beside her, began to complain indignantly.
It turns out that quite a few things have happened these past few days.
Qin Mingzhu lived in Fu Laoda's house. Although her family treated her like their own daughter, many people in the village talked about her behind her back.
Sometimes, children would overhear this and repeat it, saying things like Qin Mingzhu was a wild child.
Children don't hide their bad words from others. Once, while playing, some children blurted out that Qin Mingzhu was an unwanted wild child. Fu Ling was furious when she heard this and immediately rushed over to fight with those children.
Qin Mingzhu didn't want to fight, but when she saw that Fu Ling's hair had been messed up, she immediately rushed out as well.
When Ye Xiaocui arrived, thankfully the two children were only badly injured, their hair was a mess.
But the village children had bruises and swelling on their faces, and it was a close call that Ye Xiaocui fainted from fright.
However, Ye Xiaocui also knew her child's nature; he neither caused trouble nor was afraid of it. After finding out the reason for Fu Ling Qin Mingzhu's actions, she went to find the village chief's wife and asked her to go with her to find the adults of those children's families.
They can pay the medical expenses, but they have to apologize to the child. Moreover, if those people continue to talk about Qin Mingzhu, don't blame them for calling the police.
After all, the police had given their permission for Qin Mingzhu to be brought back to Fujia Village.
After listening to Fu Ling's rambling explanation, Fu Wan couldn't help but give her mother a thumbs up.
Ye Xiaocui, a woman like a female eagle.
Worried about causing psychological trauma to the child, Fu Wan hugged Qin Mingzhu and gently comforted her.
"Mingzhu, you don't need to listen to the nonsense those people outside are talking about. I'm asking you, what did you call me?"
"Godmother..."
"Yes, godmother is also a mother. I've always felt that our meeting was fate. This is what your godmother gave you, so please take good care of it."
Lingling is my own daughter, and so are you. I won't be having any more children, so I hope you and Lingling can help each other and grow up happily.
"Besides, you're not just staying at our house. Have you forgotten that your mother left you a savings account with money in it? Didn't you have to give it to me back then?"
But you didn't want it?
"Oh, you silly child, your godmother is rich, she definitely won't want you. What I mean is, don't feel guilty. Those people outside are just being nosy and gossipy, or maybe they're even envious. If you get upset because of it, you'll only give them more amusement."
Do you understand what I mean?
Fu Wan wiped away Qin Mingzhu's tears. This child was more sensitive than Fu Ling. If she wasn't guided, she would eventually go astray.
People have mouths to speak; if you listen to their opinions, you'll only have endless troubles.
It's your own life; don't take other people's lives too seriously.
"I'll ask you one more time, this gold coin was given to you by your godmother, do you want it?"
"want!"
"Thank you, godmother!"
Qin Mingzhu burst into laughter through her tears and took the gold coin. Fu Wan was overjoyed to see this.
"That's more like it!"
As they were talking, Ye Xiaocui's voice came from outside the room.
"Dinner's ready! Come out and eat!"
Fu Wan nudged the two children, "Put your things away and hurry up and go out, or Grandpa and Grandma will start nagging you again."
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu each have their own little treasure chests. Although they are young, they know the importance of gold coins.
Just as Fu Wan was about to take the child out, her gaze fell on a wooden box.
Oh dear, I haven't shown my family the calligraphy I acquired yet!
