Chapter 4 Breakfast at the Fu Family



Su Runrun and Fu Wenjing went to the largest private plot of the Fu family, which was a certain distance away from the Fu family, but very close to the river, so it was very convenient to carry water for irrigation.

When the two of them arrived, they saw Fu Chunshan standing on the ground with his hands behind his back.

Fu Chunshan is Fu Wenjing's father and the captain of the Red Flag Production Brigade. He is 58 years old this year.

Fu Chunshan got married early. To be more precise, people of his generation got married early and had children early.

Fu Chunshan got married at the age of eighteen and had his first child the second year after marriage. After that, children were born one after another, and he had a total of seven sons.

Boss Fu is thirty-nine this year, fourteen years older than Fu Wenjing.

Boss Fu also got married early and had children early. His eldest daughter is 20 years old this year, two years older than Su Ruanruan. She got married last year and moved to the next brigade.

In this era, it is very common for people to be the same age or almost the same age but to be of different generations.

Although Su Ruanruan felt a little bit weird, it was not unacceptable.

When Su Ruanruan looked at Fu Chunshan, Fu Chunshan also looked over here.

"Seventh Brother, why did you bring your wife here?"

Fu Wenjing brought Su Ruanruan to Fu Chunshan and stopped. "Dad, let me take Ruanruan to see our private plot. Didn't you say that it's time to water it?"

"Your brothers are watering the fields now. They don't need you. Take your wife back."

As soon as Fu Chunshan finished speaking, Boss Fu came over carrying two buckets of water.

Upon seeing this, Fu Wenjing walked forward, helped put the bucket on the ground, and picked up a bamboo pole with a ladle tied to it to scoop water and water the plants.

"Brother, my sister-in-law said she can't handle cooking by herself. You can go back and help her light the fire. I'll take care of this."

When Boss Fu heard this, his face drooped. "Why is she too busy? In the past, when it was her turn to cook, didn't she always do it alone? The older she gets, the more things she has to do!"

Boss Fu left muttering to himself, and he didn't look like he was going back to help with the fire, but rather to fight.

"All you do is make trouble all day long." Fu Chunshan said, glaring at Boss Fu's back. When he turned around and looked at Fu Wenjing, he smiled again, "Seventh Brother, take your wife for a walk. You haven't been back for so many years. I guess you can't recognize our team. I'll take care of this."

Fu Wenjing moved very quickly and had almost finished pouring the bucket of water. He did not stop even after hearing what Fu Chunshan said.

"Dad, go and do your thing. I'll finish watering this field in a moment. Besides, Ruanruan is here to help me!"

Fu Chunshan's eyes swept over Fu Wenjing and Su Ruanruan, and finally nodded, "Okay, then you guys go back quickly after watering, breakfast will probably be ready soon."

Fu Chunshan walked away with his hands behind his back.

Su Ruanruan walked towards Fu Wenjing, intending to help water the plants.

Before she could get close, she heard Fu Wenjing calling her.

"Ruanruan, just watch over me, no need to do anything."

Su Ruanruan looked at Fu Wenjing in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

"Watch me watering."

"???"

"It's just watering. If I still need your help, then wouldn't I be useless?"

What Fu Wenjing said was natural, and Su Ruanruan actually felt that it made some sense.

In the end, Fu Wenjing was the only one who watered the plants.

Su Ruanruan stood at the edge of the field, occasionally saying a few words to Fu Wenjing.

Su Runrun has the memories of the original owner and is very familiar with the entire Hongqi Production Brigade. She can answer any questions Fu Wenjing asks.

By the time Fu Wenjing finished watering the vegetable field, Su Runrun had almost finished telling him about the situation in the production team.

When the two returned to the Fu family, breakfast was ready and everyone else had also returned. There were dozens of people in the house and it was very lively.

"Seventh Brother and his family are back!" Liu Xiu'e said sarcastically, "You guys came back after the food was already on the table. You really came back at the right time."

"Old man, I can't stop you from eating. If you don't want to eat, go to work in the fields now!"

The person who said this was Fu Chunshan’s daughter-in-law Wang Maoni.

Wang Maoni is the same age as Fu Chunshan, both 58 this year. She is about 1.6 meters tall, of medium build, with her hair neatly combed behind her head, and looks smart and capable.

Although Wang Maoni is old now, one can tell from her facial features that she was very beautiful when she was young.

Fu Wenjing is the one who looks most like Wang Maoni among the seven brothers. He is also the youngest son. He joined the army at a young age and has not been back for so many years. He is the youngest son that Wang Maoni can never love enough.

As Su Ruanruan was her carefully selected daughter-in-law, she would naturally protect her more.

After being scolded by Wang Maoni in front of the whole family, Liu Xiu'e curled her lips in indignation, "It is said that the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of an old couple. Mother, you love your younger son's wife so much now. When the eldest son's wife comes home, you must love her even more."

Wang Maoni looked at Liu Xiu'e unhappily, "There's not even a shadow of Da Wa's wife yet, why should I feel pain? Should I feel pain for the air?"

Liu Xiu'e was once again criticized by Wang Maoni, but she was not unhappy at all. On the contrary, she looked excited, "Mom, speaking of this, I was just about to tell you, I have my eyes on a girl, that girl is good in every way, and she is a perfect match for our eldest son.

She is a high school graduate, so she is suitable to be the eldest grandson's wife of our old Fu family!"

When she said the last sentence, Liu Xiu'e turned her head and looked at Su Runrun, her eyes full of pride.

Being looked at like this, Su Ruanruan felt confused.

She graduated from high school, so what does it have to do with her? See what she does?

Although her current body is indeed only a junior high school graduate, before she traveled through time, Su Runrun was a graduate student. She attended every day of school and learned every day of knowledge.

Wang Maoni did not immediately answer Liu Xiu'e's words, but waved at everyone, "Don't just stand there, sit down and eat quickly, we still have to go to work soon!"

There are so many people in the Fu family that of course one table cannot accommodate them all.

As long as the weather is good, we usually set up a few tables in the yard and the whole family sits in the yard to eat.

Fu Wenjing hadn't been home for so many years. Now that he was back, he couldn't get enough of the kisses he gave his parents, so he naturally sat next to Fu Chunshan. Su Runruan was pulled by Fu Wenjing and sat on the other side of him.

Liu Xiu'e was still anxious to talk to Wang Maoni, so she sat directly next to her.

At this time, the dining table of rural people is very light. The table is full of food, but there is basically no meat.

Yellow cornmeal steamed buns and porridge with very few rice grains.

A bowl of homemade soybean paste, with washed green onion flowers and radishes on the side, all of which can be eaten directly with the soybean paste.

Stir-frying eggplant, beans and green peppers together makes a hot dish.

There are also homemade pickles, radish strips, mustard greens, etc.
