"You guys are awesome. I'm leaving." Before leaving, Luo Yue shouted loudly, "Fu Xianhua! I don't want you anymore. I want to break up with you."
Fu Xianhua also shouted: "It doesn't matter! As long as I don't enter the mud pit of your house."
All the neighbors heard it, but no one came to see what was happening. They knew something had happened to the Fu family, and it was not appropriate to go to someone's house to inquire during the first month of the year.
Fu Xianhua hid in the house and cried. It was not because she was reluctant to break up, but because she felt that her vision of people was not good and she couldn't even see Luo Yue's true face.
Fu Xianyun wanted to persuade him but was stopped by Fu Daming.
"It's okay to let your sister cry. People always have to learn to grow up. Only with more experience can you understand some things clearly."
Fu Haozhe accompanied Grandpa Fu into the house, and both of them tacitly did not mention Fu Xianhua.
Grandpa Fu opened the closet, took out the passbook inside, and handed it to Fu Haozhe: "Get married on May 1st, make good arrangements, and don't let Chuchu down. That child is very good, I have waited so many years to meet her, I have to cherish her."
After taking the passbook, Fu Haozhe opened it and took it without hesitation.
Regardless of whether he spends the money or not, he has to keep it. If he doesn't, Grandpa will feel uneasy. This is what he has been saving, and it is also a wish.
He will feel at ease only when he receives the money.
"I'll go get the money out tomorrow and return the passbook to you. Grandpa! From now on, you can spend your salary on yourself and don't have to save it for me."
Grandpa Fu smiled and nodded: "Okay, from now on, you can spend your own money. When you get married and have children, Grandpa will be relieved."
"Yes." Fu Haozhe secretly told Grandpa Fu, "I've already told Chuchu that we'll have a child as soon as we get married. I'm not young anymore and don't want to wait."
"That's right, that's right, we can't wait, have a baby quickly, and let grandpa see him too."
"Not just to meet, but to help us take care of the child." Fu Haozhe begged seriously, "Grandpa! You have to take care of your health. You are the only one who has nothing to do in our family. If you don't help take care of the child, who will we give it to?"
The elderly are most afraid that they cannot help. Give them some hope and make them feel that they are still useful.
"Okay, Grandpa will take good care of himself and help you take care of the child."
The grandparents and grandchildren made an agreement and then smiled at each other.
Fu Haozhe stayed at the Fu family until the fourth day of the New Year, and returned to the army with Chen Chuchu on the fifth day.
The train ride was smooth, nothing happened, and they chatted about family matters in a low voice. Fu Haozhe gave all the money he took out from his grandfather's passbook to Chen Chuchu, asking her to keep it.
The total amount was five thousand five hundred yuan, which was a huge sum of money in that era.
"This money is grandpa's retirement money. He gave it to me and we saved it for him. If we don't take it from him, the old man will be unhappy. When we need to spend it, we can take it out again."
"Okay, I'll save it in your name."
Chen Chuchu had no objection. The old man’s money could not be spent casually. It was his life savings.
"Don't use my name, use yours." Fu Haozhe pulled Chen Chuchu's ponytail with his hand, "We are getting married, and you will be in charge of the family's money from now on."
"Okay!" Chen Chuchu agreed without objection, "Then I'll take care of it."
The two smiled at each other, and Fu Haozhe hugged him into his arms: "I'm afraid Li Qun won't survive. We originally planned for Grandpa to live with us, but Dad and Xianhua disagreed. Xianhua broke up with her man, and that man came to our house to make trouble after learning about Li Qun's situation."
"Make a fuss? What's the fuss about?" Chen Chuchu didn't understand. "He married Xianhua, not Li Qun. What's there to make a fuss about? Unless he doesn't really like her. If he really likes her, not only would he not make a fuss, he should also give her some comfort.
Fu Haozhe! If my biological parents were ordinary, would you dislike me? "
"No." Fu Haozhe blurted out without thinking, "I love you, not your family. No matter what your biological parents are like, it has nothing to do with why I want to marry you."
Chen Chuchu smiled slightly: "I knew that you couldn't possibly dislike me. Xianhua's partner is making a fuss, it must be because he doesn't love her deeply enough."
Fu Haozhe sighed: "What love? Luo Yue treated their relationship as a business. When he learned that Li Qun was arrested, he asked Xianhua to bring a full set of furniture as a dowry, and the money in the bottom of the box increased from 880 to 1,080.
Dad said he couldn't afford it, so he asked our whole family to chip in. Xianhua was furious and kicked him out. She is 24 years old this year, and I want to find her a husband in the army, what do you think? "
"That's good. People in the army have a stronger sense of justice and are not as mercenary as those outside." Chen Chuchu agreed with Fu Haozhe's idea. "Search among your people to see if there is a suitable candidate."
After thinking seriously for a moment, Fu Haozhe nodded: "There is one, who is 25 years old this year. He has been engaged twice but both times he failed to get married. Both of his partners died.
One drowned when his boat capsized while crossing a river. Another drank pesticide after a quarrel with her sister-in-law. He has been single until now. People say he has a tough life and is unlucky in marriage. I don’t think so. I just don’t know if Xianhua cares.”
Chen Chuchu thought for a moment: "What's the temper of this person you're talking about? What does he look like?"
"He has a bit of a dull temper and doesn't talk much all day long. He has strong professional skills and is currently a battalion commander." Fu Haozhe hesitated for a moment, "He is indeed not as good-looking as Luo Yue. Luo Yue is a pretty boy, while he is a rough and rugged guy."
"That's not the problem. The problem is what his family conditions are like?" Chen Chuchu unconsciously put herself in the role of "eldest sister-in-law as mother". "Are his parents reasonable? Will they be unreasonable?"
"It is said that his parents are the village party secretaries there, and I don't know anything else." Fu Haozhe touched Chen Chuchu's earlobe, "This is what I think. After Xianhua marries him, she will live in the family compound and won't go back to their hometown. It doesn't matter what the parents-in-law are like.
Zhou Long is my subordinate, he doesn't dare to bully Xianhua. In this way, we can have another relative in the family compound, and we have a place to go during the holidays, killing two birds with one stone."
"Haha! You are such a selfish and narrow-minded brother. Just to have a place for yourself to go, you tricked your sister into joining the army. You are really something."
Fu Haozhe laughed along, "I'm afraid you'll be bullied if you stay alone in the family compound! I have a feeling that you must be Teacher Yan's biological niece, and Yan Ru must be the daughter of Liu Fusheng's adoptive parents.
If the two of them team up to cause trouble for you, and I'm not around, what will you do? With Xianhua standing behind you, you won't be alone."
Chen Chuchu pushed Fu Haozhe away in dissatisfaction, her little face looking stubborn.
"Who are you looking down on? Are you bullying me? No matter who she is, I will never give in easily. So what if Yan Xiaomin is my aunt? I didn't grow up eating her rice. Whoever messes with me, I will deal with him, without any hesitation."
Fu Haozhe hugged her again. It was the first month of the year and the berth was empty. There were only the two of them in the entire berth. No one could see what they did.
"When will mom and dad settle the issue of their background? When will your brother return to the army?"
