Chapter 160: Visiting the Graves on New Year's Day



The family sits down to eat and chat, and the day passes quickly.

Hu Yumei has endless energy. She stays busy in the kitchen all day long, making delicious food for the children and never gets tired of it.

Liu Fusheng felt that the atmosphere at home was very good and he liked it very much. Everyone spoke in a friendly manner and no one quarreled or swore at each other over a few dollars.

His parents care about him from the bottom of their hearts and put all the delicious food into his bowl.

His sister and brother-in-law were also very kind to him. The day he spent at home was the happiest day he had in more than 20 years.

On the morning of the 27th, Fu Haozhe was preparing to go home, and Hu Yunmei prepared many gifts for him to take back.

Fu Haozhe refused: "Mom! No need to bring anything. I always go back empty-handed every year. I only stay at home for a day or two. There's no need to buy anything."

"Isn't this bad?" Hu Yunmei looked at the things she had prepared, picked up a bottle of wine and a pack of cigarettes, and stuffed them into Fu Haozhe's bag, "The past is the past, and the present is the present.

Before, you were alone, and it was okay to go back empty-handed. Now that you have Chuchu, if you still go back empty-handed, people will say that Chuchu is ignorant. Knowing that there are elders at home, why did they let you go back empty-handed?

Besides, you have been staying at my house for a few days. If I don't take anything, people will say that I don't know how to behave. I am old and don't know the etiquette. My son-in-law brought me something good, but I didn't know how to return the gift."

Fu Haozhe was about to say something, but was stopped by Chen Chuchu: "Just take it if Mom asks you to. We will have to talk about our affairs sooner or later. You take the things back, and you will do your part for me."

Liu Fusheng watched from the side and had some questions in his mind, but he didn't ask because Fu Haozhe was present.

If someone doesn't even like to go home, it's obvious that he doesn't like the atmosphere at home.

Fu Haozhe is a legendary figure in the Southern Military Region. No matter how difficult the task is, he can complete it. He is bold and careful, has a lot of ingenuity, is not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, and is a sharp weapon in the Southern Military Region.

Every time the company commander trained them, he used him as a role model. In their hearts, Fu Haozhe was like a god high above them.

I didn't expect that this godly man was actually won over by his sister, who is also his brother-in-law. It's really interesting.

The person he had always looked up to sat in front of him and stayed with him for a day and a night.

They slept in the same bed last night.

Today he was going back, but he was unwilling to bring gifts to his family. It seemed that his family had made him very sad and disappointed. He was working so hard, was he also trying to make a name for himself and breathe freely like him?

"good!"

Chen Chuchu spoke, and Fu Haozhe did not refuse. He put the things in his bag, said goodbye to everyone in the Chen family, and left.

Hu Yumei asked Chen Chuchu to see him off, not far, just to the bus stop.

Fu Haozhe was in a very low mood along the way. Chen Chuchu noticed it and asked him softly, "What's wrong with you?"

"I miss my grandma." Fu Haozhe held Chen Chuchu's hand and begged, "Come with me to see her! Today is New Year's Day, I want to take you with me to make her happy."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't changed my clothes yet. I have to dress nicely when I go to see grandma, right?"

Fu Haozhe originally thought that Chen Chuchu would refuse his unreasonable request. Going to visit someone's grave during the New Year's Day was unlucky anyway. But his Chuchu didn't care at all, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

He raised his hand to help her tidy up her clothes and messy hair: "No need to change, grandma will be very happy to see you. You are my partner, her granddaughter-in-law, if she knew about it, she would definitely be grinning from ear to ear."

"If you say it's okay, I have no objection."

Chen Chuchu did not object to Fu Haozhe's proposal. She knew that in his heart, grandma was closer to him than his own mother. He went back mainly to spend the New Year with his grandfather, and he didn't care about other people at all.

The two got on the bus, bought tickets, and came to a cemetery.

This place is guarded by people and no one can enter casually. Chen Chuchu knows that those who can be buried here must have made a lot of contributions to the country.

Fu Haozhe registered the relevant information, held Chen Chuchu's hand, and came to his grandmother's tombstone.

Putting down the bag in his hand, he stood with Chen Chuchu and bowed three times to the tombstone.

"Grandma! I'm back. This is my wife Chuchu. I'm here to visit you for the first time today!"

After Fu Haozhe finished the introduction, Chen Chuchu took the initiative to greet the tombstone: "Grandma! My name is Chen Chuchu, I am Haozhe's girlfriend, and I will take care of him from now on. Don't worry! I will take good care of him."

"Yes! Chuchu is a doctor, an excellent surgeon. She also knows Chinese medicine and can regulate people's bodies." Pulling Chen Chuchu to sit in front of the tombstone, Fu Haozhe began to chat with his grandmother.

Chen Chuchu couldn't sit still, so she stood up and cleaned the dead grass around the tombstone.

Fu Haozhe held her back and said, "Don't move. Let me do it for a while. I only come back once a year, so I have to do something for grandma myself. Chuchu! This is your first time to see grandma, so you're considered a guest."

"No, I also want to do something for grandma. She raised you and she is my benefactor." Chen Chuchu carefully cleaned the dead grass and yellow leaves around the tombstone.

"Thank you!" Fu Haozhe helped Chen Chuchu clean up, "Grandma! Chuchu said you are her benefactor. I think so too. If you hadn't raised me so well, I might not have joined the army.

If I hadn't joined the army, I wouldn't have met her. If I hadn't met her, you wouldn't have been able to become her benefactor. Grandma! You can become her benefactor, don't you have to thank me? If your grandson wasn't good-looking, how could he have attracted Chuchu's attention? "

"Pfft!" Chen Chuchu laughed, "Fu Haozhe! You are too shameless. You can put anything on your face."

"No." Fu Haozhe also smiled, feeling much better. He took the dry grass from Chen Chuchu's hand, put it together with his own, and walked aside with both hands full to throw it away. "I'm telling the truth, even grandma knows it."

As they talked, they cleared away the weeds and yellow leaves around the tombstone. Chen Chuchu also took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the tombstone carefully.

Even without water, just wipe it dry and it will look cleaner and tidier than before.

"Grandma! Chuchu is washing your face, combing your hair and washing your feet. Look, you are dressed so beautifully, and you look a lot younger." As he spoke, Fu Haozhe's eyes turned red and tears welled up in his eyes.

The biggest pain in his heart was that he was unable to see his grandmother off for the last time, nor did he have the chance to take care of her personally for a day or two.

His grandmother raised him, taught him, and supported his ideals and ambitions, but he did nothing for her.

Knowing that he was sad, Chen Chuchu wiped the tombstone and hugged him: "Don't be sad, you still have grandpa, and you still have me. Go back tonight and spend the New Year with grandpa."

Fu Haozhe buried his face in Chen Chuchu's shoulder, trying to calm himself down.
