Chapter 299: Sweet-mouthed and Warm-hearted Third Brother Fu

Xia Juanjuan did not comment.

Feelings are cultivated over many years.

Even though she is related to the Fu family by blood, she is actually no different from a stranger.

When she and Fu Qingye really started fighting, she didn't dare to expect the Fu family to stand on her side instead of Fu Qingye, who had raised her for more than 20 years.

"Mom, let's not talk about this for now. We've been busy all night, let's go to bed first. Dad, don't go back in the dark tonight, just stay here."

Xia Shuangshan nodded and said, "That's fine."

No words were spoken all night.

Early the next morning, before breakfast, Fu Nanzheng came over.

However, Fu Weixin and Old Master Fu did not come together this time.

The triplets still dragged Xiaowen, Xiaowu and the others to the yard, feeding the chickens and sheep. They squatted on the ground and watched Xia Juanjuan carefully as she squeezed the milk bucket to milk the sheep.

The gate of the yard was open. As soon as Fu Nanzheng entered, he saw three little guys wearing bulky little cotton jackets and hats squatting in a row, like three chubby little bears, confidently instructing Xia Juanjuan on her work.

"Mom, Naina is peeing!"

"Mom! The sheep is running...running! Catch it!"

Fu Nanzheng burst out laughing.

How can there be such cute little guys in this world?

When Xia Juanjuan heard the noise, she looked over in surprise.

Fu Nanzheng waved at her and said with a smile, "Good morning! Have you guys not had breakfast yet?"

Xia Juanjuan: “…”

The triplets all turned around at once, and after seeing Fu Nanzheng, they all pointed at him, then turned to look at Xia Juanjuan and said, "Mom, you're a bad guy!"

Beibei and Xiaowu, who were collecting eggs in the chicken coop, came out with the eggs. Beibei said like a little adult: "Yanyan, didn't your sister tell you to be polite to adults and not call them bad people!"

Yanyan raised his head and looked at Beibei in confusion, then hesitantly corrected himself: "Um... bad uncle?"

Xiao Wudao: "Stupid! It's not uncle, it's uncle! It should be called bad uncle!"

When the triplets heard this, they all understood: "Oh! Bad uncle!"

Fu Nanzheng's mouth twitched. What bad uncle? That's my third uncle, okay!

Lin Yuru heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. Xiaowen, who was helping to light the fire, also poked his head out.

Seeing that it was him, Lin Yuru smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this Comrade Fu who came last night? We haven't had any yet. We are in the process of making it! Have you eaten yet?"

Fu Nanzheng grinned and said, "Auntie Ru, good morning! I haven't eaten yet!"

Xia Juanjuan: “…”

You don't eat breakfast so early in the morning, and you rush to visit other people's homes during mealtime, and you seem quite proud of it.

Lin Yuru was stunned for a moment and didn't react: "What... did you call me?"

Fu Nanzheng smiled and said, "Aunt Ru. Aren't you Lin Yuru? What a nice name! I'll take the liberty of calling you Aunt Ru. Is that ok with you?"

When Lin Yuru was a teenager, her family called her "Xiao Ru" and "Yuru". After she married Xia Shuangshan, the two met through a blind date. They were almost strangers and both had dull personalities. They called each other "you". Later, when they had a child, they started calling each other "father" and "mother".

Now, half of her body was buried in the ground, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when this handsome young man from the city called her "Auntie Ru".

But she was obviously happy, with a beaming face and a blush on her face, and she said in a loud voice:

"Hey! ...You can call me whatever you want! If you haven't eaten yet, just eat with us!"

Fu Nanzheng grinned even brighter: "Okay! Aunt Ru, don't call me Comrade Fu anymore, it sounds strange. Just call me Nanzheng."

Lin Yuru tucked her hair by her ears and said with a smile, "Ah...how can I be so embarrassed?"

Fu Nanzheng smiled and said, "I'm not embarrassed. Juanjuan is my sister, and you are Juanjuan's mother. Am I not also your junior? We will be a family in the future, so please don't be estranged!"

Xia Juanjuan: “…”

Lin Yuru was deeply moved after hearing this.

This kid is really good. Although he is a city boy, he doesn't have any airs at all.

If Juanjuan goes to the city in the future, she will not suffer any loss with such a brother protecting her!

Then she smiled and said, "That's fine. Then Aunt Ru won't be polite to you. By the way, Nanzheng, why didn't your father and grandfather come over?"

Fu Nanzheng smiled and said, "Oh, they said they were afraid that they were the elders, and if they came again today, they would put too much pressure on Juanjuan, so they went back to Beijing first. I happened to be on vacation these two days, and there was nothing else to do when I went back, so I thought I would stay here for a few days before going back."

As he spoke, he looked around and asked, "Aunt Ru, where is my Uncle Xia? Why can't I see him? Did he go back to Xia Village last night?"

Lin Yuru smiled and said, "No. He couldn't sit still, so he went into the mountains early in the morning to see if the traps he set had caught any rabbits or pheasants, and he came back soon."

Fu Nanzheng laughed and said, "So that's how it is! Tomorrow, I will follow Uncle Xia into the mountains to learn how to hunt! I only heard about it from Li Zhan, but I really don't have the chance to experience it myself!"

As he spoke, Fu Nanzheng walked towards Xia Juanjuan and said with a smile, "Juanjuan, let me help you carry the goat milk to the kitchen."

Then he said in a sunny tone, "Auntie Ru, wait a moment, I'll wash my hands and come over to help you make breakfast!"

Xia Juanjuan watched Fu Nanzheng's sweet words and warm heart throughout the whole process. After a short while, he made her mother so happy that her face was flushed. She was also convinced in her heart.

Lin Yuru smiled and said, "Ah... why don't you go sit in the main hall? There's no place for guests to keep busy."

Fu Nanzheng said, "Aunt Ru, you are being too reserved! Just treat me like Juanjuan and call me when necessary!"

As he spoke, he had already placed the bucket of goat milk on the chopping table, washed his hands, and rolled up his sleeves.

Xiaowen recognized Fu Nanzheng as the uncle who treated them to roast duck when Xia Juanjuan took them to Beijing. Today, he blushed and called him, "Uncle Fu."

He felt quite guilty. Yesterday, he mistook Fu Nanzheng for a bad guy because he didn't remember immediately. Until now, his three brothers Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao have not changed the way they call him.

Fu Nanzheng smiled and said, "Good boy. But from now on, call me Third Uncle."

Xiaowen glanced at Xia Juanjuan who came in later and said nothing.

Breakfast was the usual: millet and sweet potato porridge, sweet potato flour and white flour steamed buns, a plate of pickled radish, a bowl of scrambled eggs with spinach, ten boiled eggs, and a plate of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.

In addition, goat milk was cooked and each person in the family was given a small bowl.

Fu Nanzheng was surprised. The food...wasn't bad at all. It was probably better than the food at his home in Beijing...

While washing spinach, Fu Nanzheng asked with a smile: "Aunt Ru, is the allowance that Li Zhan sends back every month enough? There are so many people in the family, and the food and clothes are very expensive!"

Xia Juanjuan quickly took over the conversation and said with a smile, "It's OK. It's enough. You see, we made a lot, but in fact, we didn't spend any money. For example, the winter bamboo shoots were dug from the mountains and dried in the sun. The meat was brought by you last night. When my father came back from a fierce battle, he would go hunting in the mountains. If he was lucky, he could catch deer or wild boar. The meat was made into bacon, which can be eaten for a long time. There are also eggs and goat milk, which are all from chickens and sheep raised at home. Spinach, radish, cabbage, etc. are all grown in our own private plots..."

Fu Nanzheng thought about it and it seemed to be true. Unlike in the city, you had to pay for even a leaf of vegetable.

Breakfast was ready in a short while, and Xia Shuangshan came back. As soon as he entered the yard, he said loudly, "I'm back!"

After hearing this, several kids flew over and shouted happily in unison, "Grandpa!"

Xia Shuangshan's heart melted, and he smiled and said, "Hey! Grandpa is lucky today. The trap he set caught two rabbits!"

Ever since Xia Juanjuan began regularly releasing wild rabbits, pheasants, wild deer and the like from the space into the mountains, people from the nearby villages almost always had a good harvest every time they went up the mountain to hunt.

It was the first time for Fu Nanzheng to see a wild rabbit caught by a hunter. It was very fresh to him. He smiled and said, "Uncle Xia! You are so amazing! This wild rabbit is so fat! Tomorrow, I will go into the mountains with you. You must teach me how to hunt..."

Xia Shuangshan looked at Fu Nanzheng in surprise. This member of the Fu family came again so early in the morning?

Because the Fu family concealed Fu Qingye's affairs, Xia Shuangshan was a little cold to Fu Nanzheng: "You... why are you here?"

Lin Yuru poked her head out, and hearing his cold tone, she began to protect Fu Nanzheng and said, "What you said is true. Nanzheng is Juan'er's biological brother. What's wrong with him coming to our house to see his sister?"

Xia Shuangshan: “…”

Why is his wife's elbow so outward?

Xia Shuangshan planned to put the two wild rabbits into a wooden cage to keep them for a few days and then kill them when he was ready to eat. Then he washed his hands and the family sat down to eat.

Fu Nanzheng praised Lin Yuru's cooking skills in a sweet way, which made Lin Yuru feel embarrassed and happy at the same time.

Xia Shuangshan ate silently for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "You have a sister named Fu Qingye at home, what's the matter with your sister? Why didn't you tell me when you came to see me yesterday!"

Lin Yuru heard Xia Shuangshan's harsh tone, so she said, "Don't be so aggressive. You're scaring people."

Xia Shuangshan: “…”

There's something wrong with his wife today!
