Chapter 297 Met
Xiao Zhang and another guard could hardly hold back their laughter.
They have been working as bodyguards for the two chiefs for quite some time, and this is the first time they have seen the two serious bosses arguing in such a down-to-earth manner, like a loving father and a filial son.
Fu Nanzheng felt sour in his heart, and smiled like a flatterer: "Grandpa, Dad, I don't have enough money every month. Why don't you two help me a little? I don't want half, a quarter will be enough..."
This time, Master Fu and Fu Weixin had a tacit understanding and looked at Fu Nanzheng unhappily: "Get lost!"
Fu Weixin did not forget to add a little more: "When you give birth to three big fat boys for our Fu family like your sister, then ask me for money!"
Fu Nanzheng: “…”
There's no need to be so blatantly biased. Is that insane?
However, he had no objection to giving it to his sister!
If his salary wasn't so low and he thought Lizhan would be jealous, he would have wanted to give some money to his sister!
Xia Shuangshan looked at the three men of the Fu family in a daze as they suddenly changed their demeanor, not knowing how to react.
"Well... Juan'er's house is quite big, and the house left by Xiaowen and Xiaowu's father is also empty. If you don't mind, you can stay in the village tonight. There's room for you! I'll take you to see Juan'er now. It's just in time for dinner. Although the food is simple in the countryside, who would chase away guests at dinner time? If this gets out, the villagers will laugh at us for being door-splitting!"
Mr. Fu, Fu Weixin and Fu Nanzheng were stunned for a moment: "But... your family... still has food from Juanjuan's family, can we eat it?"
Xia Shuangshan pointed to the supplies that Fu Nanzheng and his team had just moved in and said, "Didn't you bring so much food with you? There must be enough to eat!"
The three generations of the Fu family didn't know what to say for a moment.
They brought these things with the original intention of thanking Xia Shuangshan and Lin Yuru for raising Juanjuan for so many years - of course, this was only the first time, not the last time - but in the end, they ended up leaving these things as food for their meals.
At that moment, Xia Shuangshan took them to Qingshui Village.
Xia Juanjuan and Lin Yuru were indeed preparing dinner.
Although the Chinese New Year has just passed, it is not yet the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the New Year atmosphere has not yet dissipated.
On the 25th of November last year, the day when Xia Juanjuan set out to find Li Zhan, two big fat pigs were killed in the village.
This year, because of the fierce battle, I also came back during the wheat harvest and helped with the heavy work for several days. I earned a lot of work points. In addition, I handed in a few old hens, and harvested the lotus roots and fish in the lotus pond. I also accumulated a lot of work points and brought back almost ten kilograms of meat.
In addition to the chopped ones for making dumplings, there were still several kilograms left, so Lin Yuru pickled them with salt and hung them outside in the cold air for preservation.
In addition, in autumn, the intestines are filled with rash.
Tonight, Xia Juanjuan went to the cellar and got some sweet potatoes, a white radish, a large cabbage, and two bamboo shoots. She stir-fried the bamboo shoots with basil, stewed the radish and cabbage with salted meat, and then added a handful of sweet potato flour. It was quite delicious.
Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei were playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" with the triplets in the yard. Xiaowen was the hen mother, chasing Beibei and the three little ones, while Xiaowu was running left and right, trying to catch Yanyan, who was at the end of the team.
Xia Shuangshan came in at this time and shouted quickly: "Ouch, it just snowed, the ground is so slippery, and you ran crazy in the yard and fell down!"
When the six little cubs saw Xia Shuangshan bringing a group of strangers into their home, they stopped playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" and hid behind Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei one by one. They poked out half of their heads and looked up at them with their almost identical little faces, blankly and timidly.
Mr. Fu and Fu Weixin were so moved by the look on their faces.
The last time Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan brought these three little guys to the Fu family, they were all less than one year old, lying obediently in the strollers, and they were as cute as delicate pieces of jade. When they were picked up by them, they grinned and laughed with great joy!
So likable!
Unexpectedly, when I saw them again, the three little guys were already over two years old. They could run and make noises, and play games with their older brothers and sisters!
Fu Nanzheng was the first one who couldn't help himself. He walked over with starry eyes, squatted down, and smiled softly: "Yanyan, Yeye, Yaoyao, you have grown up so much? Do you still remember your uncle... Bah! Do you still remember your third uncle?"
The triplets widened their eyes in curiosity and asked in surprise, "Uncle, how do you know our names?"
Fu Nanzheng: "...Be good, this is not uncle, this is third uncle! Be good, call me third uncle!"
Xiao Wen quickly opened his arms, protected Yan Yan behind him, and said righteously: "Uncle, who are you? Why do you want to get close to my brothers? We won't be fooled! Don't even think about deceiving us!"
Ever since the triplets were kidnapped by the bandits secretly in collusion with Liu Lan, Xiao Wen has been more vigilant. Now that so many strangers have suddenly come to his house, as the eldest brother, he naturally has to be the first to stand up and protect his younger brothers!
When Xiao Wu and Bei Bei saw this, they quickly protected Ye Ye and Yao Yao behind them and whispered, "Be good, Ye Ye and Yao Yao. Brother and sister won't let the bad guys kidnap you again!"
When Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao heard their brothers and sisters calling them bad people, they stamped their feet angrily and repeated in a baby voice: "Um... bad people!"
Fu Nanzheng: “…”
My nephews thought I was a bad guy...
Fu Weixin and Old Master Fu had both come over happily, but now they were all regarded as bad guys by the children. They felt helpless and all cast blaming eyes towards Fu Nanzheng.
If it weren't for this stupid grandson (son) who rashly went up and alerted the children, would they all be considered bad guys?
Xia Shuangshan smiled and was about to explain to the children when Xia Juanjuan came out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Dad, you came at the right time..."
Halfway through her words, Xia Juanjuan was stunned when she saw Fu Nanzheng standing in her yard.
Before I could be surprised, I saw Fu Weixin and Old Man Fu in a wheelchair again!
This……
What's happening?
How could the three people who were the least likely to appear in her yard suddenly appear out of nowhere?
It can't be...
Xia Juanjuan's heart suddenly sank. She looked at the three people in horror and asked in a trembling voice, "Grandpa Fu, Uncle Fu, Third Brother Fu, why are you here? Did something happen to Li Zhan?"
The three generations of the Fu family and Xia Shuangshan couldn't help but be stunned.
Fu Nanzheng reacted and smiled quickly, "Juanjuan, don't worry, Lizhan is fine! We came here for other things."
Xia Shuangshan finally understood and said, "Juan'er, they are..."
Fu Weixin suddenly interrupted Xia Shuangshan: "Old Xia!"
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Your master, Nan Zheng and I just happened to come to your county to do some work. I remembered that Li Zhan's hometown is nearby, so I came to see you and the children..."
"Dad!" Fu Nanzheng shouted helplessly.
After listening to Fu Weixin's words, Xia Shuangshan was also a little puzzled. Just now in Xia Village, the three grandfather and grandson were obviously as happy as children. How come they refused to acknowledge each other when the time came?
Master Fu sighed and said, "Forget it, take your time."
Fu Weixin also felt that he was too indecisive.
But... he had been looking for a concubine for more than 20 years. He knew without a doubt that she must have suffered a lot in the countryside, even if she had adoptive parents who loved her.
He was a little scared... He was afraid that Juanjuan would not forgive him, would not recognize him, and would blame her for not finding him earlier...
Xia Juanjuan looked at their puzzled expressions and wondered if they would believe what they said.
However, since they were unwilling to tell her, she was not in a hurry to know, so she smiled and said, "Is that so? That's perfect. Let's taste my and my mother's cooking tonight. Also, let's stay in the village tonight. But the conditions at home are definitely not comparable to those in Beijing. Grandpa, uncle, and third brother, please don't think it's too simple."
For Li Zhan's sake, she couldn't ignore the Fu family.
Xia Juanjuan is enthusiastic and thoughtful, and does everything perfectly.
Fu Weixin immediately asked Xiao Zhang, Xiao Sun, and Fu Nanzheng to take flour, rice, and fresh pork, beef, and mutton to the kitchen.
Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This... coming to my house for a meal and bringing your own dry food?
However, since it would be a waste if she didn't eat it, Xia Juanjuan didn't refuse. There were five more mouths to feed at dinner, and the food she had just prepared was not enough.
For raw beef, we made a stir-fried beef with onions. For mutton, we boiled mutton soup, cut the mutton into slices, picked up the sauce, and dipped it in the soup. The mutton soup was used to roll noodles.
The hand-rolled noodles in mutton soup are also served with a topping of fried wild pheasant with mushrooms, the previously made vermicelli stewed with salted meat and radish, and fried bamboo shoots with pork, and a few steamed mixed-wheat buns.
I also roasted some sweet potatoes and steamed some mushroom eggs for the little ones.
Mr. Fu, Fu Weixin and Fu Nanzheng felt a little relieved when they saw the rich dishes on the table.
But then I thought, Juanjuan must have prepared such a sumptuous meal because they were entertaining guests, and they also brought beef, mutton and other meats with them. Normally, we would just eat steamed buns with pickles.
Thinking of this possibility, the three generations of the Fu family felt distressed.
