Before he knew it, it was the weekend. Feng Haidong had already made arrangements with his father and Feng Baoan, so he decided to go back to his hometown on the weekend morning.
In the past, whenever Feng Haidong wanted to go back to see his parents, his son usually wouldn't be willing to go back with him.
On many occasions, it was only by Feng Haidong displaying his fatherly authority that his son reluctantly agreed to go back with him to see his grandparents.
On the one hand, it takes almost an hour by bus to go back, so the journey is indeed quite long.
On the other hand, because the son stays at home, his wife will take him to his maternal grandparents' house. When he goes to his maternal grandparents' house, he usually gets pampered by his uncles and aunts, who always give him the best food and drinks.
Therefore, compared to the other two, Feng Qifan would naturally choose to go to his maternal grandparents' house almost every weekend.
However, Feng Haidong had not originally planned to take his son back to the countryside today, but his son got up early in the morning and asked to go to his grandparents' house together.
Seeing his son's initiative, Feng Haidong asked with a puzzled look, "Feng Qifan, why are you suddenly so eager to go back to your grandparents' house?"
Feng Qifan said earnestly, "Dad, can't I miss my grandpa and grandma?"
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "You still want to lie to your father? Grandpa just came by."
Feng Qifan quickly said, "Grandpa came, but Grandma didn't. Can't I go back and see Grandma?"
Feng Haidong stared at his son for a while, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to go back to the village with Dad and catch crayfish with your Grandpa Bao'an?"
Feng Qifan was somewhat surprised: "Dad, you guessed it?"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Of course, when your grandpa Bao'an came to deliver shrimp yesterday, you were talking to him about catching and fishing for shrimp, and Dad heard it too."
Seeing that his father already knew what he was thinking, Feng Qifan decided to stop hiding it.
"Dad, I want to go back and go shrimp fishing with Grandpa Bao'an. Can you take me with you?"
Hearing the conversation between the father and son, Lu Wanling smiled and asked her son, "What? You only want to go back with your dad to fish for shrimp, but you don't want to see your grandpa and grandma?"
Feng Qifan said, "No, Mom. I'm going back with Dad this week, and I'll go with you to see Grandpa and Grandma next week."
Lu Wanling smiled and said, "You're quite good at managing your time."
Feng Qifan asked, "Is that alright?"
Lu Wanling said, "Okay, it's rare that you took the initiative to ask to go back with your dad. So you can go with your dad this week, and Mom will go back to see Grandpa and Grandma by herself."
Feng Qifan said with a smile, "Okay, Mom, please tell Grandpa and Grandma that I will definitely visit them next week."
Then Feng Qifan looked at his father and asked, "Dad, Mom agreed, will you take me back with you?"
Feng Haidong looked at his wife, and from her eyes he roughly understood her intention.
On the one hand, the wife hoped that their son would go back to visit his grandparents.
On the other hand, the wife also wanted to go back to her parents' place to talk to them about the pregnancy.
Feng Haidong understood his wife's intention and agreed: "Okay, then hurry up and change your clothes and shoes. Change into a pair of sneakers and a dark-colored outfit, otherwise you'll get your clothes dirty when you go shrimp fishing this afternoon."
Upon hearing his father's words, Feng Qifan cheered excitedly, "Great! We can go shrimp fishing now!"
Watching his son run back to the inner room to change his clothes, Feng Haidong whispered to his wife, "Go back and talk to Mom and Dad properly. Make sure your younger brother and sister don't find out. Also, ask Dad if they have any suitable storefronts for rent downstairs."
Lu Wanling nodded and said, "I know. You should also be careful when you take your son back. Keep an eye on him while he's fishing for shrimp and don't let him play too wildly."
Feng Haidong chuckled and said, "It's alright. Boys should run wild in the fields. That's what makes them boys. Otherwise, they won't have the courage to pursue girls later."
Lu Wanling immediately retorted, "Get lost! How old is your son? And you're already thinking about him chasing girls? I'm noticing you're starting to resemble your third son more and more!"
The "third brother" that his wife mentioned was her second brother, who was the third child in the family.
In Feng Haidong's memory, his wife's third brother was quite a capable person.
At work, she's the kind of person who knows how to get along with people and always manages to please leaders at all levels.
But he was also an extremely restless person. After his company was dissolved, he first worked with others to set up billboards locally, and later went to other places to make his own way in the world.
He even partnered with someone to start a film and television company at one point.
However, after so many years out there, he ultimately failed to make a name for himself.
Moreover, in his previous life, he made a fatal mistake, which not only cost him half his life's fortune but also landed him in prison.
Now, when Feng Haidong thinks of his wife's second brother, he feels that he is more reliable than his wife's eldest brother. Although he is a bit restless, he is indeed a capable person.
So Feng Haidong was also thinking to himself that he should have a chat with his brother-in-law when he had time.
Seeing that her husband remained silent, Lu Wanling asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
Feng Haidong immediately came to his senses and quickly smiled at his wife, saying, "I'm not like your second brother. He's always getting involved with those women, but I never do that. My heart is always only for you, my wife."
As he said this, Feng Haidong leaned closer to his wife, wanting to kiss her.
Lu Wanling felt a sweet warmth in her heart upon hearing her husband's words, but she still blocked him with her hand: "Don't give me that. Do you think I don't know if you're having an affair? Maybe you're hiding something even more deeply than the third brother."
Feng Haidong knew his wife was joking, so he hugged her tightly and said, "How could that be? Your husband isn't that kind of person."
With that, Feng Haidong kissed his wife on the lips.
The couple had barely started kissing.
Suddenly, the son's voice rang out: "Mom and Dad, I'm all ready, when are we leaving?"
Upon hearing her son's voice, Lu Wanling panicked instantly. She quickly pushed her husband away and said with a flushed face, "Alright, you two should hurry up and leave, or you'll miss lunch."
Seeing his wife blushing, Feng Haidong chuckled and said to his son, "Alright, son, let's go."
Feng Qifan took the initiative to help his father carry the things he was going to take back, and didn't forget to say to his mother, "Goodbye, Mom. You look so beautiful today."
Lu Wanling was taken aback by her son's words, then scolded him, "You brat, get out of here with your dad right now."
Feng Qifan felt a little wronged after being scolded like that. Feng Haidong reached out and hugged his son, saying, "Come on, come on, Mom wasn't scolding you, she was actually scolding Dad."
As his father carried him out the door, Feng Qifan's slight grievance vanished instantly.
As the father and son walked through the residential compound, they were greeted warmly by the neighbors they encountered.
Feng Qifan followed his father, looking forward to going shrimp fishing in the afternoon.
