Chapter 203 Trivial
"Hide the things first. Apart from the two boxes from Uncle Yan's family, don't even think about the ones in the cave at Jiaming Baoshan."
Fu Rong said it lightly, as if he was talking about a pile of worthless cabbages instead of the coveted gold and silver jewelry, with a matter-of-fact look on his face.
This statement also caused the other two to nod in agreement.
Scratching the back of his head, Fu Jiaming didn't think that Suning and his uncle would agree and accept it, but he didn't object out loud.
Otherwise, the old man would think that he was greedy for those things and didn't want to be a human being. I'm afraid he would start beating him right away even though he couldn't walk far.
"As for these, give them all to Shuangshuang as a betrothal gift when you two get married in the future."
"That won't work. My eldest brother hasn't gotten married yet, and there are also jewellery in there that I picked out especially for our mother."
Fu Jiadan chuckled and felt comforted seeing his brother's anxious look.
However, although they were touched, their family tradition could not be broken. Their wife earned her own money, so she could do things within her ability.
Moreover, when he left Shanghai, he had already called off the marriage with Ren Xuan, and all the betrothal gifts he had given were returned. Even the ones that had been used and could not be returned were discounted, so he didn't suffer any loss at all. He really had no shortage of money for a wife.
But knowing my brother's temper, when he gets anxious, he can turn into a stubborn little bull in a second.
"Then I have to thank our Ming family on behalf of your future sister-in-law, but two or three items will be enough."
“How come…”
"Okay, then mom will accept your gift. Two or three pieces will be great."
…
Su Ning, who had already walked to his backyard to water the vegetables, heard the faint sounds of laughter and anger coming from the Fu family. As for who was laughing and who was angry, he knew without looking, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The vegetables planted by Aunt Gao Fen at that time were growing well. They were all cold-resistant cabbages, radishes and the like. There was not as much snow in the south in winter as in the north, so there was no need to worry about the vegetables freezing to death.
After watering the plants, he pulled out two radishes, then got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
As soon as the sky darkened, Yan Bei arrived on time and stepped into the steaming kitchen with his long legs.
"Ningning, I'm here."
“I’m back.”
The conversation between the two revealed the charm of an old couple. They looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
Since the relationship was established, Yan Bei would consciously come to accompany her after cooking for his grandparents every day, actively fulfilling his obligations as a partner and not missing a single day.
Just because her words of companionship are the most lasting confession of love.
"Do Grandpa Yan and his people have enough food?"
"What the team has distributed plus what you gave me last time is enough. I have secretly planted a vegetable garden in the small valley behind the house. Once the seedlings sprout, we will have no shortage of vegetables to eat in the spring."
We chatted about trivial things in life, and although the topics were dull, the feeling was very warm.
After dinner, as usual, I would accompany her for a walk in the yard to help digest the food, and then I would either read in the study or fiddle with herbs in the pharmacy.
Both of them enjoy this comfortable and leisurely way of getting along.
…
Time flies by, and before we know it, we have entered the twelfth lunar month.
During this period, I continued to receive many letters from all over the country.
Naturally, the little girl Yingying took the lion's share, with Grandpa Fu coming in second.
Through the letters between the two, she not only learned that the brother and sister who had originally planned to sneak over to find her with Tingzi were caught red-handed.
I also know that the two of them are now in dire straits and are undergoing violent suppression and corporal punishment education every day.
His younger brother who lived far away in Jilin Province brought good news, saying that Jiang Xiaojun and his siblings would accompany him to southern Hunan before the New Year to celebrate the New Year with her.
As for the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the three Xiaoqiao brothers did a really good job and exceeded their targets every month.
In addition to work matters, she would occasionally write about the current living conditions of the three of them. Between the lines were satisfaction and gratitude for her giving them the wonderful life they now had.
However, Zhang Qi, who had originally planned to do it by the end of October but kept delaying it, finally finished all the things at hand and successfully took an extra-long vacation and also brought the accurate news.
He said that he had already started preparing to bring his godfather, godmother and Xiaoqiu to Xiangnan.
Calculating the time, we will arrive early tomorrow morning.
So after Suning arranged the things at hand that day, he took a bus back to the city.
The courtyard was well taken care of by Mrs. Tian. Except for the withered bicolor flowers on the courtyard wall, nothing else had changed.
After strolling around his home which he hadn't been home to for a while, Suning went to the bedroom and prepared to take out the thick quilt that had been stored in the cupboard and lay out the bed.
Of course, you also have to build a small circular doghouse.
"Woof~"
Is someone coming?
Hearing Xiaoyuanquan's cry, he stopped what he was doing and quickly walked out of the room. Sure enough, he heard a knock on the door.
When I opened it, I found it was Zhang Ze with a smile on his face.
"Brother Zhang? Didn't sister-in-law say you went there in a sports car?"
"Hahaha, this is just a coincidence. The place I went to this time was not far away and I just got back today. After I handed in the car and got home, I heard from your sister-in-law that you were back!"
Hearing that there was no time to get dressed, he hurried over.
Looking at that smiling face, Zhang Ze's smile deepened, and suddenly he thought of something and restrained himself a little.
"Ningning, I've already given the things you asked me to bring last time to Xiao Qiao. Do you think they should send the things I asked me to bring back now, or wait until tomorrow when I'm resting and bring them back to Team One for you?"
"It's the same as the last two times. Wait for Brother Zhang to take me to the village when he's free. I have to stay in the city for several days this time."
"Okay, come over to our house for dinner after you finish your work. The two old people are waiting for you!"
"Okay, then Brother Zhang, you go back first. I'll go right over after I make the quilt and everything."
After seeing Zhang Ze off and closing the door, Suning trotted back into the house in a good mood and quickened his hands' movements.
When she arrived at the compound with the gifts, the food had already been prepared and just placed on the table. The two anxiously waiting old people held her hands, one on each side, for a long time as soon as they saw her, unwilling to let go.
…
After dinner, Zhang Ze chatted with them for a while. As it was too late, he was worried and sent them back to the gate of the courtyard.
However, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he accompanied her into the yard.
Being a reconnaissance guard, Zhang Ze had good observation skills. He had noticed something was wrong with her before dinner.
Of course he had to ask clearly while there was no one around. The downside of not being close to her was that he couldn't find out about her situation in time.
"Ningning, are you hiding something from me?"
Fang saw something bad was going to happen through Grandma Zhang's hand, but Suning couldn't predict what was going to happen before it happened.
I could only shake my head hesitantly, and when I saw that he wanted to say something, I explained, "I'm just worried about what will happen after the Zhang family comes over."
"Just this? You're not fooling me?"
"Brother Zhang, what are you thinking about? It's really this."
"Okay, is it Xiaoqiu's maternal family? Is it also the Zhang family that you said you recognized as your godparents?"
"Um."
Of course he knew about Zhang Qin's affairs and he also helped investigate afterwards, so when he saw that she must have been thinking about this troublesome matter, Zhang Ze put away his other thoughts and stopped thinking about anything else.
After years of separation, the next time they meet is as close as life and death. No one would be able to get over this.
However, Zhang Qin's matter is indeed a bit complicated, and if it is not handled properly, it will easily get into trouble.
"Wait for them to come over and explain everything in detail, and then see what plans they have. If you want to help with Ningning's matter, it would be best if you could inform the Luo family in advance."
If you have a good backing and background but don't use it, you are a fool.
"I'll go there tomorrow when I'm free."
Now that he had found out what he wanted to know, Zhang Ze didn't linger any longer and walked out while talking.
"Ningning, I'll be resting for the next two days. If you need anything, be sure to call me. Don't do anything dangerous or uncertain by yourself."
"I know, don't worry, Brother Zhang."
"As long as you know what's going on, go to bed early. Don't you have to go to the train station to pick someone up in the early morning? I'll go with you later."
"good."
She must not have had enough rest after being on the road for several days, but he must have felt uneasy letting her go to the train station alone so late at night where there were so many people.
Knowing that he couldn't persuade him, Suning nodded obediently and let him go back to have a good sleep and rest after picking up the person.
I sent him out the door, bolted and locked it, and took the little circle with its tail wagging to wash and go to bed early.
As expected, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, her mind full of the images of the future she had just foreseen.
After a long time, a sigh was heard in the pitch-dark night.
