"My girl, I may not be able to accompany you. I have to go to the factory after breakfast."

Song Fuyu finally came back to stay for a few days, but he couldn't accompany her. Chen Guoxing was very reluctant, but he was the head of the factory after all, so he had to go to work.

"It's okay, just go to work, Ziyuan and I will take care of it."

"Can you come back for dinner tonight? I can cook for myself."

"It would be better if you could invite Aunt Cuiping and Uncle Tianhua to come as well, so we can have dinner together."

"Okay, I'll ask them to come over in the evening."

After breakfast, Chen Guoxing set off for the factory.

Without the pressure from his father-in-law, Yan Ziyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why? Do you feel more relaxed now that my dad is gone?"

"Isn't it?"

In the presence of elders, he needs to control all his emotions and be careful with his words, otherwise he will be met with a cold stare.

"What do you want to do today? Stay at home or go out for a walk?"

"Go out, I want to visit someone."

After breakfast, Song Fuyu took out some dry goods from the luggage he brought.

"I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food suitable for the elderly."

Yan Ziyuan didn't ask too many questions. He followed her with his things in his hand, slowing down his pace to match hers.

"Why didn't you ask me who I was going to see?"

"I guess it's to your grandma's house."

Although he had never heard Xiaoyu mention anything about her mother's family, when she said she was going to buy something for the elderly, his first reaction was to go to her grandmother's house.

After all, she and Song Hao have a bad relationship. If her grandparents were still alive, they would not be much nicer to her.

"no."

"To be honest, I have never met my grandparents, and I don't know exactly where their home is. Not long after my mother got married, the whole family moved out of Heng City and went to Hong Kong, and they never came back."

“I don’t think they even know I exist.”

After listening, Yan Ziyuan could roughly guess some of the situations in her grandmother's family.

Before the changes in the country, they must have been a wealthy family. After receiving some news, they chose to relocate their family to protect their loved ones.

"The person I'm going to visit today is my mother's former nanny. This is the second time I've been there as far as I can remember, and I don't know if she's home yet."

The two men came to Zhou Ma's door carrying things. Fortunately, she heard them and quickly opened the door.

"Miss, you're back, come in."

When Zhou Ma saw Song Fu Yu, she was so happy that she took her hand and led her into the house.

"Hurry up and sit down. I'll make you a cup of sugar water."

"Grandma Zhou, don't bother me. I drank some milk when I went out, so I'm not thirsty now. Please sit down."

She took the thing from Yan Ziyuan's hand and handed it over.

"This is a little gift from me, please accept it."

"Little Miss..."

"Grandma Zhou, you forgot again. Just ask me to help you."

"Hey, look at my memory. I'm used to it. It's really hard to change it all of a sudden."

"Who is this?"

Mother Zhou took the things and finally noticed that there was another person following in.

"Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend. His name is Yan Ziyuan. He's a soldier."

"Good! Great soldiers! Defending our country."

"Young man, you can sit down too. Don't be polite. Just treat it like you're home."

"Okay, thank you, Grandma Zhou. Please take a seat too. No need to greet me."

Mother Zhou stared at Yan Ziyuan seriously for a long time.

The young man is tall, has clear eyes and looks very good.

"I went to see your mother a few days ago. If she knew that you found a good partner, she would know and rest in peace."

Ever since she found out about Lin Yuanxi's grave, Mother Zhou would go and take a look at it secretly every one or two weeks.

"Grandma Zhou, you have difficulty walking, so it's better for you to go less often."

In this era, people are particularly taboo about such things, and her grandmother's family background is really not very good. If she is caught by someone with ulterior motives, she will not be able to explain herself.

"It doesn't matter. I'm already half buried in the ground. I don't feel scared anymore. I don't care what others say."

"I have taken care of your mother for so many years. She lives alone there, feeling lonely. I don't have much to do every day, so I can go see her and chat with her."

Zhou Ma insisted on keeping the two of them for dinner, and Song Fuyu couldn't refuse, so he and Yan Ziyuan left Zhou Ma's place after lunch.

"Do you want to go see your mother?"

"Let's go and have a look."

Although she is the original owner's mother, she is occupying someone else's daughter's body after all, so it is only right for her to visit her biological mother on her behalf.

When they arrived at the cemetery, they could clearly see the difference from the first time she and Zhou Ma came here.

It must be because Zhou's mother often weeds the area around the cemetery. It looks very well-kept now, and there are even some plants planted on the side.

Although it is a cemetery, it does not seem lonely, but rather full of life.

Yan Ziyuan didn't hesitate and knelt down in front of the tomb.

"Hello, I'm Yan Ziyuan, your future son-in-law."

"I will be here for Xiaoyu's life from now on. I will take good care of her for you until the moment I die..."

Song Fuyu looked at the figure kneeling on the ground in front of him and felt a little moved.

"My mother will know."

I didn't stay in the cemetery for long, fearing I might run into someone else.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some vegetables and then went home.

They went too late, and apart from some seasonal vegetables, they only bought half a chicken and ten eggs. As for pork, they didn't even smell the meat.

"How about I take you home first, and then go to the mountain to have a look."

"Forget it. It's troublesome and dangerous. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant and pack some braised pork to take home. I packed some bacon when I came back. It's the same as eating bacon."

"Song Fuyu!"

The two were walking and talking when they heard a roar. Before Song Fuyu could react, Yan Ziyuan protected him in his arms and dodged the attack from behind.

Seeing that they had dodged, the other party continued to pick up the big wooden stick in his hand and swung it towards Song Fuyu again, roaring angrily.

"Song Fuyu, you beast, go to hell!"

Yan Ziyuan held her tightly with his left hand, and grabbed the thick wooden stick that was about to fall with his right hand. With a strong pull, the wooden stick came into his hand, and the other party lost her balance due to his great strength and fell to the ground.

"Were you frightened?"

"No, I'm fine."

It was just so sudden that she didn't react.
