"What kind of good wine is that? It's just the Moutai that can be bought on the market. I have two bottles of good Moutai. Your grandmother bought them more than ten years ago. She said she would use them to propose marriage for you. She never used them. This time, I finally used them."
When talking about his old partner, Grandpa Fu smiled, handed the photo in his hand back to Fu Haozhe, and watched him put it into his wallet.
"Your grandmother not only prepared wine, but also other things. Unfortunately, they couldn't be kept and were used up. But I know the etiquette. Go and propose marriage on the second day of the New Year. Grandpa will help you prepare it.
Chuchu's parents raised such a good daughter, we can't treat her badly. You are so much older than her, we have to prepare more good things for you."
Fu Xianhua and Fu Xianyun sat there in silence, while Fu Haolin and Hu Jie watched from the side.
Fu Haolin, in particular, felt mixed emotions.
He went to Hu Jie's house to propose marriage. It was all arranged by his mother. He didn't do anything. He just went there a few times and then he married his wife.
When Fu Haozhe got here, his mother secretly told him several times that the family had nothing prepared and asked him to come up with the money himself.
He didn't expect that grandpa and dad had prepared it, and he began to feel jealous again.
It was useless to be jealous, Grandpa and Dad would not care about his mood. Fu Haozhe was better than him, so he couldn't surpass him by being jealous.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Fu Haozhe said, then looked at Fu Daming and called out to him, "Dad! Thank you too!"
Fu Daming was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red. For many years, his eldest son had never called him, but tonight he suddenly called him. He felt a little unbelievable and even more excited.
I was so excited that I didn't know what to say.
Fu Haozhe then looked at Fu Haolin and Hu Jie: "Something happened at home, and Dad said he wanted to split up the family. What do you two think?"
"I don't care. If you want to split, then split. If you don't want to split, then split."
Fu Haolin never had his own opinion. Li Qun always made the decision and he executed it. Now that Li Qun was gone, there was no one to make decisions for him.
"I don't want to split up." Hu Jie said what she was thinking, "Mom is gone, and there are only grandpa and dad left at home. We can't do without anyone to take care of us. Xinxin is still young and needs help from the family."
Fu Haolin: "Then let's not separate and live the same as before."
"That's different."
Fu Haozhe had to sort out all the family relationships tonight. He was the one who exposed Li Qun's matter, so he couldn't just leave it alone. Grandpa had to live at home for a few more months, so he couldn't take him away for the time being.
"If you don't split up, Dad will be the head of the family, and Hu Jie will share some of the cooking and other responsibilities. Xianhua and Xianyun will help wash Grandpa and Dad's clothes, and if that doesn't work, buy a washing machine.
I will get married on May 1st, not at home, but in the army. I will take care of grandpa from now on, I have discussed it with Chuchu. "
Fu Daming shook his head in objection: "No, how can you take care of him? Both of you have to go to work. Grandpa can live in your house for a few months, but not for a long time. You should come back. When I retire, we can live and eat together."
Fu Xianhua also did not support Fu Haozhe's decision: "Brother! I know you are worried about grandpa, but you really can't take on so much responsibility. Sister-in-law is a surgeon, how busy must she be every day? Your work is probably even busier than his.
Grandpa can stay with you for a few months, but there is no need for him to stay for a long time. We miss Grandpa too! How can we let you occupy our place all by yourself?"
Fu Xianyun: "If grandpa is gone, there will be even fewer people at home. I am not at home on weekdays and only come back on Sundays."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. There weren't many people at home to begin with, and with three of them gone at once, there really wasn't much people at home. Everyone had work during the day and wouldn't be home until the evening.
Li Qun used to work at the subdistrict office and would rush back to cook for Grandpa Fu at noon every day. Now that she is gone, someone else has to take time out to come back at noon.
Being fought over by his grandchildren, Grandpa Fu's gloom instantly disappeared and he felt much better. When people get old, they like to be needed.
"Don't worry! Grandpa won't live with your eldest brother. It's better to stay at home. The neighbors are familiar and you can find someone to talk to. Your eldest brother just got married, so it's not good to disturb the young couple."
Fu Haozhe didn't say anything. Seeing the smile on his grandfather's face, he felt a lot more at ease.
The family sat together and talked for a long time before going to bed.
The next morning, Fu Haozhe got up and ran a few laps in the yard before Fu Daming got up.
Then Hu Jie also got up. Since her mother-in-law Li Qun was not at home, she had to take care of the kitchen work.
She is the only daughter-in-law in the family. The eldest sister-in-law hasn't married yet, so we can't count on her. Even if they do get married in the future, the couple rarely come back, so we can't ask her to help with the housework.
There was nothing to do on the first day of the new year, so Fu Haozhe played chess with his grandfather. After lunch, he called Chen Chuchu and briefly explained some things at home.
I didn't go into detail, just letting her know what happened.
In the evening, Xu Yang called and told Fu Haozhe: "Li Qun's case is not a small matter. His parents, brothers and sisters are all involved. We sent people to bring them all back.
Li Qun and Feng Jintang are the main culprits. Tell your family to be prepared. She knew what Feng Jintang was doing from the beginning, but she didn’t report it and did something bad. I’m afraid there will be no good results. "
"I know. I informed my family last night." Fu Haozhe understood Li Qun's final outcome. "Did Feng Jintang explain? How did he get drunk eyes?"
"I haven't interrogated him yet. He looks like he doesn't want to talk, but it doesn't matter. I have plenty of ways." Xu Yang thanked Fu Haozhe, "Captain Fu! Thank you for your support for my work.
This year is the most critical year for my rise, and with this incident, I think I’m set.”
"Why are you being so polite to me? I don't know anyone in Beijing, and I don't know who else to look for except you." Fu Haozhe's tone was very sincere, "I hope you don't blame me for disturbing you during the New Year."
"Captain Fu! Please come to our bureau! You are very suitable for our job. With just a glass of wine, you dug out a hidden personnel who had been hiding for many years. I have never seen anyone as awesome as you." Xu Yang invited sincerely.
Fu Haozhe smiled faintly: "I don't want to retire. The army is pretty good. If I need to transfer to civilian work one day, I will definitely come to your bureau."
Xu Yang nodded vigorously: "It's settled. I've reserved you for our bureau. Hahaha! Happy New Year! Hang up!"
"Happy New Year!"
After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Fu was the first to ask, "Was it a call from the National Security Bureau? What did it say?"
Fu Daming, Fu Haolin, Fu Xianhua, Fu Xianyun, and Hu Jie all listened nervously. Even the naughty Xinxin didn't dare to make any more noise and ate his candy quietly.
"Xu Yang said that Li Qun's problem was very serious and she had to eat peanuts. She had known about Feng Jintang's affairs for a long time, and she concealed and protected him and even participated in it herself. The circumstances were extremely bad."
Fu Daming gnashed his teeth and cursed: "It's better to eat peanuts. People like that don't deserve to live."
