Chapter 16 Proposal
Fu Chenggong could still sit upright in the main room, but the aroma of the food that kept coming into his nose was too irritating, and he swallowed quietly again.
Glancing at his eldest grandson who was twisting his butt as if he had been pricked by a needle, his brows were furrowed and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
Scrambled eggs with chives, a big pot of roe deer meat stewed with potatoes, and that pot of delicious medicinal chicken soup...
——The last time I had chicken soup stewed with wild game made by my mother was before the New Year, more than half a year ago, woooo~ I’m so craving it!
"You guys are finally here! Slurp~ Come on, start eating!"
I saw a group of people who looked like mother and her two daughters walking into the main room hand in hand.
When Fu Ting howled, Fu Chenggong silently put down his "iron palm", not knowing that a certain kid who had escaped the disaster happily stood up and consciously served bowls of rice to everyone.
It gets dark late in the summer, but the house becomes dark early. The light bulb above my head is already on, and the relatively new electric fan is whirring, bringing a slight cool breeze.
The young boy, wearing a white vest and JZ green trousers, with a silly grin on his face, ran around and finally put the dishes in place.
Without even bothering to wipe the sweat from his forehead, he sat down actively, holding the bowl with both hands, and looked at the old man eagerly.
"Tsk, what a success!"
Fu Chenggong laughed and cursed, skipping over the brat and saying to the other three, "Eat! Ning girl, especially you, you need to eat more, you are as thin as a bamboo pole!"
"Okay, then I'll eat more and try to gain some weight."
"Hey~ That's right!"
She picked up a chicken leg and gave it to her father-in-law first, and put the remaining one into Suning's bowl. Li Hehua's somewhat weathered face glowed with the unique radiance of motherhood, and the dim light made people feel warmer in their hearts.
After dividing the chicken legs, he gave the two remaining large meat wings, one each to Fu Ying and her brother.
But he happily picked the ones with bones that were not easy to chew, and insisted that this was what she liked.
"Auntie works so hard, shouldn't she get more nourishment?"
Quickly putting the chicken leg back into her bowl, Su Ning moved back to protect the bowl, "I actually like chicken feet the most, how about giving me both, auntie?"
"You girl!"
A mother will always be moved by her children's unintentional actions and words. Li Hehua's eyes were a little moist. She knew her good intentions, and it would not look good to push and shove at the dinner table, so she had no choice but to go along with it.
The dining table is full of warmth.
…
After the meal, as expected, everyone was full and sat down in the yard to cool off and digest the food.
Amid the chirping of insects, the stars in the sky twinkled in the night sky, as if in silent response.
"Grandpa Fu, Auntie, I want Yingzi to stay with me at home for a few days, is that okay?"
Although a little surprised, Li Hehua did not think much about it. The steel plant's family compound was closer to Fu Ying's school, so she could go to school more easily in the last few days. What was wrong with that?
"Okay, of course. As long as you don't mind this girl being noisy, you can take her away anytime!"
Compared to her full agreement, what surprised Suning was that Grandpa Fu, who was always easy to talk to, remained silent.
The look he gave her was full of scrutiny. It was the first time he experienced such an oppressive look, and it made his scalp tingle and the hairs on his back stand up.
Even though he was clamoring to go, Fu Ting, who was usually a thick-skinned man, was sensitive enough to sense that something was wrong and quietly stopped.
"Ning girl, come with me into the house."
"Sister Ningning..."
If we were to say who Fu Ying and her brother are most afraid of, then Grandpa Fu would definitely be number one. When their parents get angry and start beating each other, they would still consider whether they would hurt anything, but when it comes to their grandfather, he would only complain that he didn't hit them lightly enough!
So when they saw their grandfather with a stern face, the two of them - no, let's bring dad along too - all three of them would feel weak in the knees.
"don’t worry!"
"How about you ask Sister Ningning to take us and run away secretly..."
"Do you really think I'm old and deaf? If you dare to instigate others to do bad things again, I'll break your legs!"
Su Ning, who also heard his "whisper", shook his head in a helpless manner, and followed Grandpa Fu to the study room again.
…
"Tell me, Ningning, is there something new going on with your father Xu Zixin? Or has Yingzi caused trouble again?"
Based on Fu Chenggong's understanding of her, something must have happened for her to make this request at this time.
Don't be fooled by this girl's cold and indifferent appearance. In fact, she is really in love with people and wants to be kind to them with all her heart.
Knowing clearly that there were unsettling factors and that the situation was at a critical juncture, she would never drag Fu Ying into it and put her in even the slightest danger.
so…
Fu Chenggong knocked on the table. He was more inclined to the latter: his silly granddaughter had done something "loyal" again!
“Grandpa Fu, I want Brother Zhang and Brother Mao to come over in advance.”
"Um?"
His straight back became a little harder, and Fu Chenggong squinted his eyes, emitting an intimidating aura.
"I can't explain it clearly in just a few words. Grandpa Fu, I need them to arrive early, the sooner the better."
Seeing her pursing her lips tightly and refusing to reveal a word, Fu Chenggong sighed secretly: What a stubborn little girl!
"I understand. I'll send someone over tomorrow morning."
Changing the subject, Fu Chenggong continued to test her nonchalantly, "Don't let Yingzi mess things up at this critical moment. Let her have some fun with you for a few days before you leave."
"no!"
"Oh? Why not?"
"Grandpa Fu~"
Since the hard way doesn't work, then try the soft way, because she really can't explain it!
She didn't know if changing Yingying's whereabouts and avoiding that road and that time would really change her fate.
However, even if you know that uncertainty is not easy, you still have to change and avoid it first!
"Grandpa Fu, I feel uncomfortable staying at that house every day. Can you let Yingying stay with me for two days? You can take her away after my birthday party."
"Don't act like a spoiled child to me. Acting like a spoiled child won't work."
It doesn't matter what you say, but you actually feel very happy and enjoy it in your heart.
Fu Chenggong tried hard to keep a straight face but was ultimately unable to resist her coquettishness. "I don't know what you are hiding, Ning girl. Grandpa Fu hopes that you can remember what I said."
Nothing is more important than your own life. He is always behind you.
"Well, don't worry, I will protect myself well, and I will also protect Yingying."
"Boom, boom, boom~"
It seems that things are more complicated than he thought, and even... dangerous?
What on earth did this girl Yingzi do?
Fu Chenggong, an old and experienced man, had already gotten a glimpse of something just from a few simple conversations between the two.
He stopped what he was doing, and had an idea in mind and other plans.
"It's getting late. I'll let Tingzi accompany you. It's not safe for two little girls to go back."
"good."
…
Su Ning walked out of the study with the cowhide bag containing the envelopes. As soon as he turned around, he saw Fu Ying and her brother squatting against the wall in a stealthy manner.
Without any extra words, the two men, in perfect tacit understanding, each lifted one of her arms and dragged her out of the house.
"How is it? How is it, did Grandpa agree?"
"Well, go pack two sets of clothes."
"Ahhh~ That's great! Wait for me, Sister Ningning, I'll be right there!"
Fu Ying stamped her feet happily, left this sentence and ran to her room.
