In front of the gate, there are two round door pillars supporting the balcony extending from the second floor, which looks very imposing.

After being away for many years, Mr. Fu couldn't help but shed tears when he returned to his old house.

He once worried that he would not be able to come back here in his lifetime. Now, they are finally back!

He no longer has to worry about dying of old age outside.

When the neighbors living around the Fu family saw two jeeps and a car parked together at the gate of the Fu family, they all ran out to watch the excitement.

When they saw that it was indeed Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu who had returned, they all came forward to greet them with concern.

"Mr. Fu, Professor Hua, you are back."

"Mr. Fu, Professor Hua, long time no see, are you all okay?"

"Mr. Fu, Professor Hua, we missed you so much after not seeing you for so long."

Professor Hua is Madam Fu, and her full name is Hua Yulin.

When Mr. and Mrs. Fu saw their familiar neighbors, they greeted them with a smile.

"Hello everyone, it's been so long since we last met, are you all doing well?"

The neighbors all smiled and replied: "We are all fine, everything is fine."

When they saw Fu Jingwei and Jun Ning following behind Mr. and Mrs. Fu, they asked curiously, "Mr. Fu, is that Jingwei behind you?"

Mr. Fu smiled and said, "Yes, this is my eldest grandson Fu Jingwei. The one next to him is Xiaowei's girlfriend. Her name is Jun Ning."

The neighbor looked at the grown-up Fu Jingwei and couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast. Even Xiaowei has a partner."

Another neighbor also praised him, saying, "Mr. Fu, your son is so handsome, and the man he found is also so beautiful. They are really a perfect match!"

Mr. Fu likes to hear people praise Fu Jingwei and Jun Ning the most.

Hearing the neighbor praising them, Mr. Fu was particularly happy and laughed loudly, "Haha, thank you for the compliment. It's fate that brought them together. All we old guys can do is to wish them the best."

Seeing that the old man was so happy, Fu Jingwei kept talking while standing outside the door.

He lowered his voice and reminded Mr. Fu, "Grandpa, you are tired too. Go in and have a rest first. After you are settled, you can have a good chat with the uncles and aunts."

Mr. Fu nodded and said to his neighbors, "Let's go in first and talk later."

The neighbors also knew that they had just returned and must be anxious to settle down and rest, so they all said tactfully: "Okay, okay, let's talk later, let's talk later."

Fu Jingwei, carrying the luggage in one hand and holding Grandpa Fu's hand, walked into the Fu family mansion.

Jun Ning supported Madam Fu and followed them in.

The Fu family’s old house is also quite large, it is a circular-shaped building.

As you walk through the gate, the first thing you see is a large square patio.

There are many flower pots of different sizes in the patio.

But at this time, the flowerpots were not planted with flowers, but some small vegetables such as green onions, garlic sprouts, and leeks, which were probably planted by the people who lived here before.

Mr. and Mrs. Fu felt a pang of pain in their hearts when they saw that the flowers they used to grow were gone and replaced with more down-to-earth side dishes.

But what is past can only be left in the past.

When they have time and energy in the future, they will plant those beautiful flowers to continue to cultivate their sentiments.

Mr. Fu pushed open the door of the main room on the left where they used to live.

Seeing that the main room was also tidy and the bed, table and chairs they had lived in before were still there, he felt relieved.

Fu Jingwei helped bring in all the old man and the old lady's luggage.

He then said to the other three masters, "Three masters, you will stay here for the time being until you have made arrangements over there."

Wen Renbo, Chu Feiyang, and Hu Mingxuan have become neighbors with Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu over the years.

When they heard Fu Jingwei's words, they nodded without hesitation, "Okay, let's stay here for a few days and get used to it first."

Seeing that it was getting late, Jun Ning said to Fu Jingwei, "Ah Jing, help Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu clean up first. I'll go cook. Where is the kitchen?"

When Madam Fu heard this, she smiled and said to Jun Ning, "Aning, I'll take you there. We can do it together and it will be faster."

Jun Ning smiled and said, "Grandma Fu, just take me there. I can cook by myself. It will be quick."

Grandma Fu looked at Jun Ning, who was diligent, capable, and good-looking, and her eyes were bent with joy. "Okay, okay, I'll take you there, and Xiao Wei will come to help you later."

As for young people, we need to find opportunities for them to spend more time together so that they can develop deep feelings.

Madam Fu took Jun Ning to the kitchen in the east.

When she saw that everything in the kitchen was ready, she began to feel a little favorable towards Lin Guodong, who was in charge of this matter.

Jun Ning saw that all the ingredients for cooking were available, even the firewood for the big pot was ready.

She smiled and said to Madam Fu, "Grandma Fu, I'll go get some food. I put a lot of good things in the car. I'll make you a big meal today and we can celebrate together."

When Madam Fu heard that Jun Ning was going to cook for us personally, she smiled even more when she thought of the delicious food she had made. "Great, great, great, since you are cooking for us personally, we will all have a treat today."

Jun Ning went out again and moved out all the ingredients in the trunk. He also took out two live fish and a slaughtered chicken from the space and put them in together.

When Fu Jingwei saw Jun Ning starting to get busy, he hurried over to help.

With the concerted efforts of the two of them, the kitchen soon filled with the mouth-watering aroma of vegetables and meat.

Jun Ning quickly prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

There was a big pot of pickled fish, scrambled eggs with green peppers, braised pork, twice-cooked pork, Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried beef with celery, stir-fried choy sum with garlic, and a pot of chicken soup stewed with mushrooms.

By the time Jun Ning finished cooking, Lin Guodong and the others had already left.

Jun Ning set the table and took out a box of peach blossom wine, then asked Fu Jingwei to call Grandpa Fu, Grandma Fu, and his three masters to come for dinner.

When the elderly people saw that Jun Ning prepared a table full of delicious dishes so quickly, they praised Jun Ning again from the bottom of their hearts.

When they were eating the delicious food and drinking the peach blossom wine, they kept praising Jun Ning to the point of feeling embarrassed.

Wen Renbo took a few bites of food, took a sip of wine, and said with a satisfied look: "This is the life that people should live!"

Several other old men also nodded repeatedly. Thinking back to the days in the cowshed, they felt it was as bitter as bitter herbs.

Now the good days are back, and they won’t have to suffer that pain anymore. It makes me happy just thinking about it.
