Chapter 114 Return to Jingzhou
Yu Zhili was the one who contacted Jingzhou, and he drove the three-hour journey himself, so Fu Yining only needed to prepare his own luggage.
Because he and Yu Zhili were going to be away for about a week, Fu Yining simply gave the servants at home a holiday.
Song Qingyu went to Wu Yuan's house, and they would stay together for several days. As for Yu Mingze...
Who cares!
So on such a bright morning, the two set off with the farewell of their whole family.
Not long after the black SUV drove out, Fu Yining said to the man in the driver's seat, "If you're tired, let me drive instead?"
"Okay." He agreed, but he had no intention of asking her to drive.
No matter how tired you are!
His wife was not very good at driving, and this was a completely unfamiliar way home, so letting her drive might lead them both into a ditch.
For safety, Yu Zhili held the steering wheel tightly.
"Ningning, if you are sleepy, you can take a nap first."
Fu Yining shook his head: "Not sleepy."
On the contrary, she was very excited and thinking about going out today. She was so excited that she didn't sleep much the whole night and she hasn't felt sleepy so far!
The car gradually drove away from the city center, and Fu Yining leisurely looked at the scenery outside the window.
"Your parents..."
"Um?"
"What kind of people are they?"
As the car drove onto the highway, for some reason, Fu Yining suddenly became a little worried about the attitudes of the two parents of the Yu family.
She and her original self never visited them, so they must have some opinions about her, right?
Hearing the people around him muttering, Yu Zhili chuckled: "No, they all like you very much."
His parents had always hoped that he would bring her back with him after she recovered from her illness.
Fu Yining said calmly: "Okay."
How embarrassing! Did she just say what was really in her mind by accident?
Fortunately, Yu Zhili noticed her depressed mood and took the initiative to change the subject, "Ningning, do you want to know about my parents?"
"Um."
"Then I'll tell you slowly..."
-
Knowing that their son and daughter-in-law were on their way home, Yu's parents carried the big yellow dog in the yard to the open space, boiled some water, poured it into a basin, and pressed the big yellow dog into it.
"Woof!"
The big yellow dog let out a dissatisfied cry, but Yu Qinghong, the father of the Yu family, patted its head and it became obedient.
"Da Huang, you are so dirty! Zhili is going to bring Ning Ning here soon. It won't be good if she sees you like this!"
Mother Yu, Lin Yulan, scooped up a bucket of water and poured it on Dahuang, rubbing and kneading its fur that looked like it had just rolled in mud.
Dahuang knew he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to lie in the stainless steel basin and let others do whatever they wanted.
After several buckets of water were poured in, the water under Dahuang finally turned clear from turbid, and he was allowed to stand up and shake off the water on his body.
"Stop rolling around, come over here and blow your hair!"
Yu Qinghong hooked Dahuang's collar and pulled it over.
A few minutes later, a clean dog with the fragrance of shower gel appeared out of nowhere, put its four big paws on the ground, and patrolled its territory majestically.
But if Lin Yulan hadn't stopped it in time, it would have rolled on the ground again.
"Aunt Lin!"
"It's Ruonan, why are you here?"
Lin Yulan had just opened the door to let the ducks out for some fresh air when the daughter of Old Zhang from the same village came over.
She was holding a bag of freshly picked dates in her hand, with a smile on her sweet face: "Aunt Lin, my dates are ripe. I'll send some over to you and Uncle Yu!"
Seeing the heavy weight in the bag, Lin Yulan pretended to complain: "You can just give us a few to try, why are you carrying so many?"
"It's okay. I have some at home. Can I bring it in for you?"
"Hey, come in quickly!"
Zhang Ruonan followed her in.
Yu's parents live in a bungalow. They use the large open space in front of the house as their own yard, where they raise chickens and ducks and grow some simple vegetables.
But more often than not, Yu Qinghong would go out the back door of the house, carrying a hoe and working in the fields outside the house, and Lin Yulan would also go over to help.
After Yu Zhili became successful, the couple did not move to a big city with their son. Instead, they chose to stay in their hometown to raise chickens and ducks and farm. In the evening, they could go out for a walk and chat with acquaintances.
The villagers had always gotten along well with the couple, and now they took the initiative to look after the couple, sending them any good things they had.
After all, there were many places where they asked the son of the Yu family to do things for them.
"Aunt Lin, why are you alone? Where's Uncle Yu?"
"I'm going to the back to pick some vegetables and prepare lunch."
"Oh, is that so?" Zhang Ruonan smiled.
Her previous marriage was not happy, and after the divorce she returned to her parents' home with her son. Later, she would often bring some things over to chat with Lin Yulan and Yu Qinghong, and they would also invite her to their home for dinner.
However, Lin Yulan didn't mention keeping her today, and Zhang Ruonan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
She looked around several times and finally found something unusual.
Is this place too clean? Did Auntie Lin just clean it?
Zhang Ruonan knew that it was Lin Yulan who had always been cleaning the yard. Lin Yulan was very diligent and liked to keep the yard tidy, but today the yard looked especially clean.
Apart from anything else, there was not even a single fallen petal or leaf under the osmanthus tree in full bloom in the yard.
The chicken coop in the corner had a new fence and there were signs that it had been swept clean around it.
The big yellow dog that guards the house wagged its tail at them. Zhang Ruonan found that its fur was smooth and shiny, as if it had just taken a bath?
This is terrible!
"Auntie Lin, are there any guests coming to your house?" Zhang Ruonan asked tentatively.
Lin Yulan nodded: "Yes, Zhili will bring his wife back today, and he told me and his father in advance."
"Brother Zhili is coming back!" Zhang Ruonan had just heard this, and her smile was filled with sweetness out of surprise.
But she didn't feel happy for long before she received another terrible news.
"Aunt Lin, why does Brother Zhili want to bring his wife back this time?" Don't they have a bad relationship as a couple?
Lin Yulan was walking in front and did not notice the embarrassment on Zhang Ruonan's face.
She happily told Zhang Ruonan the good news, "Zhili's wife has recovered from her illness and she came back to see us this time!"
Zhang Ruonan seemed to be thinking about something.
It was almost common knowledge among the entire village that Yu Zhili's wife had contracted a strange disease, so the woman never returned with Yu Zhili, and no one except the Yu family had ever seen her.
A strange disease that has not been cured for twenty years is cured now?
Zhang Ruonan couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, especially when she saw how much Lin Yulan and Yu Qinghong valued their daughter-in-law.
"Auntie Lin, I'll leave the dates here for you. I'll go back first."
Lin Yulan advised: "You just came, why don't you sit for a while?"
"No, I have to go back and hang the clothes."
If Zhang Ruonan had not heard the words "Yu Zhili's wife is coming back", she would definitely wait until Yu Zhili came back and then extend her greetings with joy.
Now, forget it.
After leaving Yu's house, Zhang Ruonan walked back with a sad heart.
