Su Yue said she liked to eat meat, and Fu Shen had actually witnessed it firsthand.
Not to mention the boxed meals I ate on the train, which had very little meat.
Fu Shen poured half a bowl of rice into the large bowl containing the meat, then slowly stirred it with chopsticks. He picked up a piece of green vegetable, lowered his head, and began to eat it slowly and deliberately.
Su Yue subconsciously pursed her lips, touched her stomach, and muttered to herself that she used to love eating vegetables, but she never craved meat this much.
This has nothing to do with her; it must be because she's pregnant that her tastes have changed.
After finishing their meal, Fu Shen and Su Yue took a car back to town.
After getting off the car, Fu Shen steadily carried the bag on his back, while Su Yue followed closely beside him.
Wu Guoliang was leisurely driving the oxcart, moving slowly ahead.
Wang Xiaohua, who was sitting on the oxcart, spotted the two people behind her and quickly said, "Guoliang, look, isn't that Fu Shen?"
"Where? Where?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Guoliang immediately perked up, his head darting around and his eyes darting eagerly everywhere.
Wu Guoliang is the youngest son of Wu Zhongjian, the village party secretary, and is five years older than Fu Shen.
His relationship with Fu Shen was even closer than that with his older brother Wu Guoan, which is why he was so excited when he heard Fu Shen's name.
When he and Wang Xiaohua got married, Fu Shen attended their wedding banquet.
Wang Xiaohua pointed behind her, "Behind us."
Wu Guoliang looked back in the direction she pointed, but it was too far away, and he could only see two blurry figures.
"It's so far away, how do you know that person is Fu Shen? He hasn't been back for more than ten years, who knows what he's become?"
Wang Xiaohua said with certainty, "It's him. He looks almost the same as before."
Although she couldn't see very clearly, she had a strong feeling that the person was Fu Shen, and she firmly believed that her feeling was correct.
Fu Shen and Su Yue walked at a leisurely pace when Su Yue suddenly reached out and gently tugged at the hem of Fu Shen's clothes.
Fu Shen noticed her movement and immediately lowered his head, looking at her tenderly, "Are you tired?"
When returning from out of town, I usually call my family in advance to tell them when I will arrive, and they will arrange for a bicycle or oxcart to pick me up.
But his family was different from other people's families; they had to walk home.
Su Yue pointed to the oxcart in front of her and whispered, "They're staring at us."
The women, especially those sitting on the oxcart, kept staring at them from a distance. After a while, the men driving the oxcart also started looking over.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction Su Yue pointed.
Upon seeing those two familiar faces, Fu Shen was overjoyed and quickly said, "Yueyue, they are people I know. Quick, let's go up and ride in their oxcart back."
Wu Guoliang was still hesitating, wondering whether he should wait for the two to get closer before seeing if it was Fu Shen.
Then they saw the two people who had been walking slowly suddenly quicken their pace and walk up quickly.
As the two drew closer, Wu Guoliang finally saw clearly, and his smile instantly blossomed and grew wider.
He hurriedly handed the bamboo pole used for herding cattle to Wang Xiaohua and said excitedly, "Take this, I'll go help Fu Shen get his things."
Wang Xiaohua glared at him reproachfully, but a smile lingered on her lips.
"He just said no, but now he's saying he's going to help him get his things."
Who says only women can be two-faced? Men are the same way.
Wu Guoliang nimbly jumped off the oxcart and strode towards Fu Shen and the others, shouting as he went, "Fu Shen, you're finally back!"
Fu Shen, equally delighted, responded loudly, "Second Brother."
Su Yue: "..."
Didn't you say there were only younger brothers and sisters? How come there's an older brother now?
