Chapter 386: The Courtyard in the Suburbs of Beijing (Part 2)
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard. Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xu in confusion and asked, "Is this the place you just mentioned?"
"Um."
"Although I like the courtyard house very much, I'm hungry now and want to eat." Lu Xiaoxiao said to Zhang Xu.
"I'm here to bring you here for dinner." Zhang Xu knocked on the door of the courtyard house after he finished speaking.
"Fourth Master, please come in." Uncle Fu opened the door and saw that the person coming was Zhang Xu, and immediately said with a smile on his face.
"I'm going to trouble Uncle Fu and Sister Fu today."
"It's no problem at all. My wife and I are so happy that the Fourth Master is here."
After hearing what Uncle Fu said, Zhang Xu didn't say anything else, but took the little girl into the yard.
After Lu Xiaoxiao was brought into the yard by Zhang Xu, she was hugged in someone's arms before she had time to appreciate the flowers, plants and trees planted in the yard.
"Fourth Master, where did you trick such a pretty girl from?" Mrs. Fu asked while holding the little girl in her arms.
"Mrs. Fu, please let the person go first and I will talk to you later." Zhang Xu was afraid that the little girl would be angry, so he spoke immediately.
After hearing what Zhang Xu said, Mrs. Fu reluctantly let go of the person in her arms. If she was not unfamiliar with the girl, she would never let go of her easily.
"I've told you so many times not to rush up and hug a pretty girl when you see one, but you didn't listen." Uncle Fu said helplessly to his wife.
"It's because you didn't let me have a daughter when you were young, otherwise I wouldn't be like this." Mrs. Fu put her hands on her hips and yelled at Uncle Fu.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Have you prepared the mutton hotpot for the Fourth Master?" Uncle Fu was afraid that his wife would start talking about the same old things again, so he immediately changed the subject.
"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that I haven't cut the mutton yet." Mrs. Fu slapped her thigh and said.
"Then go and cut it quickly. Don't make the Fourth Master wait anxiously." Uncle Fu said to Mrs. Fu.
"I'll go right away." Mrs. Fu said as she walked towards the kitchen.
Uncle Fu looked at Mrs. Fu's back as she left, hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Zhang Xu, "Fourth Master, I'm going to the kitchen to see if there's anything left to do. You take this little girl for a walk in the yard."
"Um."
When Uncle Fu saw Zhang Xu agreed, he immediately walked quickly to the kitchen. He prayed in his heart that the old woman would not be anxious, otherwise she would not cut the mutton but her own hand.
From the moment Mrs. Fu held her in her arms until Uncle Fu left, Lu Xiaoxiao was completely confused and had no idea what was going on. So she looked at Zhang Xu and asked, "What's going on?"
"Uncle Fu and Sister Fu used to be servants in my grandfather's house. Later, my grandfather and mother passed away. They were reluctant to leave my grandfather's house and have been helping me take care of it.
Until last year when the situation in Beijing became increasingly worse, I arranged for them to live in this small courtyard house in the suburbs.
As for why Sister Fu hugged you as soon as she saw you, it was because Sister Fu wanted to give birth to a beautiful daughter in her life. However, because her health had always been poor, Uncle Fu felt sorry for her and never let her give birth to a child. Naturally, she could not have a beautiful daughter.
So the regret of Mrs. Fu in this life is that she didn’t give birth to a pretty daughter, and this regret leads to Mrs. Fu rushing up to hug a pretty girl when she sees one.”
