Ye Xiaocui looked towards the door in surprise, but the figure that appeared the next moment made her lose control of her emotions.
"you……"
Ye Xiaocui pointed at Boss Fu, her whole body trembling. Tears silently streamed down her face, and she couldn't speak, as if something was stuffed in her mouth.
"Xiao Cui, I'm sorry. I made you worry. I'm back!"
Fu Laoda quickly stepped forward to support his wife, who was swaying precariously from excessive excitement.
Feeling the warmth from her arm, Ye Xiaocui's mind went completely blank.
Heaven knows she was secretly folding paper ingots for her husband that afternoon, and now he's back so late at night.
A living, breathing person!
"You damned bastard, why aren't you home yet! Do you know I'm about to starve?!"
Ye Xiaocui cried out in pain and clenched her fists, striking Boss Fu repeatedly without any hesitation.
Fu Laoda was wincing in pain, but he didn't dare to dodge.
"Xiao Cui, what happened?"
Hearing Ye Xiaocui's cries, Aunt Jiang from next door rushed out the door with Fu Liang.
When Aunt Jiang saw the man standing in the Fu family's courtyard, she thought they had been robbed.
Fu Liang's eyes lit up as he hurriedly called out, "Uncle, you're back!"
From childhood to adulthood, Fu Liang has only ever called Fu Laoda "Uncle." He addresses all the other uncles in the village as "Uncle XX."
After all, in Fu Liang's heart, only Boss Fu is his closest uncle!
Aunt Jiang then realized that the person standing there was actually Boss Fu, and she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.
"Hey bro, you're still alive!"
"This is wonderful!"
Ye Xiaocui stopped crying this time. After all, there were outsiders present, and even though they were her good friends, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Hurry inside!"
Seeing that Fu Liang and Aunt Jiang were also about to go back, Fu Wan quickly called out to them.
"Brother Liang, come here!"
Fu Liang was confused and kept staring straight at Boss Fu.
Now he no longer worries about losing his job. With Boss Fu around, he can fish for the rest of his life!
Fu Wan counted out fifty yuan from the large bills in her pocket and gave it to him. "There are three sizes of pearls: the large ones are thirty-five, the small ones are fifteen, and the medium ones are twenty-five. I'll give you fifty, you can keep it."
Fu Liang refused to accept it, and after taking twenty, he tried to push the rest back.
Fu Wan was actually quite impatient with this back-and-forth. "Brother Liang, I treat you like family. If I tell you to take it, then take it."
Fu Liang was a little afraid of his sister at this point, so he could only accept it. Fu Wan then handed him a bag of fruit candy and a bag of malted milk powder.
"Take it back, this is for your aunt."
Knowing it wouldn't be cheap for Fu Liang, he didn't dare refuse and could only secretly vow to work hard for the Fu family.
He would serve Fu Wan like a slave, never deviating from her orders!
Fu Liang carried his things home, and Aunt Jiang had brought out the food and was waiting for him.
Upon seeing what he brought back, Aunt Jiang immediately slapped his arm.
"What are you going to do with so many of Wan'er's things? They're so expensive!"
Fu Liang felt wronged; he was truly caught in the middle.
When Aunt Jiang found out that Fu Wan had bought it for her, she was both happy and heartbroken.
I'm happy that my niece cares about me, but I'm also worried about how much money this costs!
Speaking of money, Fu Liang took out another fifty yuan from his pocket and put it on the table.
This time he was smarter. He darted to a spot two meters away from his mother and said that Fu Wan had given him the pearl money.
When Aunt Jiang saw so many large coins, plus the things she had in her hands, she estimated that Fu Wan had given her family nearly a hundred yuan.
"From now on, when you go out with Fu Wan, you have to listen to your sister, understand?"
Fu Liang nodded vigorously. He wasn't stupid; he would definitely listen to his sister in everything!
After finishing her meal with great enthusiasm, Aunt Jiang went back into the house and brought out a handful of sugar and a bowl of malted milk powder, placing them in front of her husband.
"You'll never get to enjoy this blessing. I'll be able to eat candy and drink a whole can of malted milk powder in my lifetime."
"I'll give you a little too. Our lives are getting better and better!"
...
At the Fu family home, Ye Xiaocui was still in shock, and she had a lot to say to Fu Laoda.
Chen Lingling was originally circling around Boss Fu, calling out "Grandpa, Grandpa" repeatedly.
Fu Wan then coaxed her out with two candies, leaving space for the elderly couple.
As for dinner, Fu Ming had to start the fire while he cooked for himself!
Because she was waiting for Fu Wan and the others to come back for dinner, Ye Xiaocui had steamed brown rice for four people well in advance.
With one more person added, Fu Wan took three eggs and steamed a large bowl of egg custard.
Fu Laoda mainly eats easily digestible foods like steamed egg custard; he can only eat a couple of bites of brown rice now.
However, all the vegetables at home were ready, and we still had some mackerel from a few days ago.
Fu Wan stir-fried some greens, pan-fried some mackerel, and steamed a small parrotfish. All the dishes were light and delicious.
Boss Fu sat at his familiar dining table, looked around and smiled at his family.
His eyes welled up with tears, and he waved his hand.
"Have a meal!"
Eating together as a family was the thing I longed for most in my past life as a ghost.
Fu Wan responded to Fu Ming, and only after Fu Laoda (Ye Xiaocui) picked up her chopsticks did she scoop a spoonful of egg for Shen Lingling.
"Ah Wan, make more for Lingling."
Fu Laoda pushed all the eggs in front of him over, but Chen Lingling pushed them back with her little hand.
"Grandpa, this much is enough for Lingling!"
After saying that, she ate the fish and vegetables that Fu Wan had put on her plate.
Looking at such an obedient child, Boss Fu said that the Shen family was unlucky.
The meal was enjoyable, everyone ate their fill, and all the food was eaten up.
Even Fu Wan, who used to only eat half a bowl of rice every night, ate an extra half bowl of rice.
Nothing more than happiness; a harmonious family atmosphere is the best way to enjoy a meal.
After dinner, Fu Wan took Chen Lingling to wash up and return to their room, and Fu Laoda also followed his wife back to their room.
After listening to Ye Xiaocui's rambling account of what happened after she disappeared, especially how Fu Lao Er's family was so bullying and how Shen Dongsheng threatened her with a knife.
All of this made Old Man Fu wish he could go and beat them up right now.
But he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
In the middle of the night, perhaps because he hadn't eaten rice or oily food in a long time, Fu Laoda was awakened by a stomachache and ran all the way to his own outhouse.
In Fujia Village, people not only fish but also farm. Since fertilizer is expensive, their own excrement naturally becomes an important raw material for composting.
To prevent the house from smelling bad, everyone built their outhouses at the back of their houses. Sometimes, several brothers would build them together, with rows of small huts serving as latrines.
The outhouse of Fu Lao Da's family was built next to that of Fu Lao Er's family. It wasn't because the brothers had a good relationship, but because they happened to be assigned to the same area when the land was divided.
When Boss Fu finished relieving himself and walked out of the outhouse, he bumped into Boss Er Fu, who was clutching his stomach and rushing to the next outhouse.
"Big...Big Brother?"
Fu Lao Er was knocked to the ground by someone, and when he looked up, he saw Fu Lao Da frowning at him.
On the night of the Ghost Festival, I encountered a dead person who even frowned at me!
This is practically taking his life!
In his panic, Fu Lao Er couldn't even control his bladder.
"Puff puff puff puff puff..."
Several loud bangs were heard, and a foul stench emanated from beneath Fu Lao Er.
Oh my god, Fu Lao Er was so scared he wet his pants!
