Chapter 638: Dinner and Discussion

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Song Fuyu finished the meeting at the electrical appliance factory.

I drove around to relax for a while, filled the trunk and back seat with things, and then went home.

"Uncle Wu, are Chengxu and the others in there?"

"No, they're out setting up their stall and haven't come back yet."

There were only a few children at home, so Song Fuyu could only ask Uncle Wu and Mother Yan to come out and help her move things.

"Xiao Yu, why did you buy so many things again? We have everything we need at home. We won't be able to finish all of this."

"This is not bought for my family, but prepared for my eldest brother and his wife."

"I heard from my sister-in-law that the family compound where they live is quite far from the city, so they have to ask the logistics department to bring back things whenever they buy them. Ziyuan and I thought of preparing some more for them to take back."

"You don't need to prepare it. Your father and I will buy it."

"Mom, we're all family, so everyone's preparations are the same."

Instead, she thought it would be better for her to prepare it, after all, her mother-in-law had four sons and she couldn't just buy one.

But she was different. This time she was grateful for her elder brother and sister-in-law's concession in allowing Ziyuan to be transferred back to Beijing first. It was reasonable and moral that she should be grateful for their efforts.

Besides, she usually provides more convenience to the families of her second and third sisters-in-law. If there is a rift because she prepares things for her eldest sister-in-law, then she should think about how to continue to handle the relationship with them.

When sister-in-law Lin Xiujie came back from outside and saw that Song Fuyu had prepared so many things for them, it would be a lie to say she was not touched.

"Fourth brother's wife, there are too many of these things. We can't accept them."

"You have sent many clothes and shoes to Yayue and her two sisters before. Your elder brother and I are very grateful for your kindness."

"Sister-in-law, these are just some gifts from Ziyuan and I. Second and third sisters-in-law also had them before."

"As for the clothes and shoes, you know what I do. Those clothes and shoes are defective products that have not passed the inspection and cannot be sold out of the factory. I am also worried that my sister-in-law will be unhappy if she finds that there are problems with the clothes when she receives them."

How could Lin Xiujie not know that this was just her excuse?

The clothes she sent over had no problems at all. Even the threads were cut very cleanly. They were many times better than the clothes sold in the supply and marketing cooperative. Both the style and fabric were not available anywhere else. The three daughters in the family loved them very much.

Ever since my fourth brother’s wife opened a clothing factory, it can be said that our family has never bought clothes again. A bunch of clothes would be sent to us every season.

The fourth brother's wife was so good to them, which was a big reason why she and Zijun were willing to give in and return to Beijing two years later.

..........

On the tenth day, Yan Zijun's family of five boarded the train carrying a lot of things.

After the Lantern Festival, Yan Ziyuan also returned to Lu City.

"Hey, Ziyuan, why did you come back? Have you recovered from your injury?"

Li Hu asked in surprise when he saw Yan Ziyuan carrying luggage in front of him.

"The injury has almost healed, and I can move freely."

"Boy, your recovery ability is amazing."

Li Hu patted his shoulder happily, feeling very glad that he was not seriously injured.

"Brother Hu, ask sister-in-law to prepare some appetizers tonight, and call Xiaobai and Huazi over, so that we can have a couple of drinks."

"You're enslaving my wife when your own wife is not around, right?"

"After my wife returned to Beijing, my sister-in-law's cooking skills became the most popular in the family compound."

"Okay, you guys can come directly over tonight, but you have to bring your own wine!"

After Song Fuyu left, Li Hu often went to the department store to buy wine to drink, but none of the wine he drank was as delicious as the one she brewed, and he had been craving for it for a long time.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Ziyuan came to Li's house carrying two bottles of two kilograms of wine.

Xiaobai and Huazi had arrived long ago after receiving the news and were helping Liu Aihua in the kitchen.

"Uncle Yan, Happy New Year."

The eleven-year-old Xiaozheng is no longer afraid of the serious Yan Ziyuan.

"Happy New Year, Xiaozheng."

"Your Aunt Yan asked me to bring New Year gifts to you and your sister."

He handed over the bag in his hand.

"Wow, I knew Aunt Yan hadn't forgotten me!"

Xiaozheng took the bag excitedly and opened it impatiently.

After Li Tian greeted Yan Ziyuan, she also moved closer to her brother.

Song Fuyu bought two picture books and a cute little backpack for Tiantian, and prepared an alloy car set for Xiaozheng.

"Sister, do you like this small backpack? If you don't like it..."

"Don't even think about it! I love it so much!"

Don't think she doesn't know what her brother is planning.

If she said she didn't like it, he would definitely take it for himself immediately.

He is a tanned boy, why does he like girls' things?

What Li Tian didn't know was that her brother didn't like these cute things that girls liked at all. He just thought that if his sister didn't want them, he could give the things to his younger sister Xinyue.

The size of this bag is just right for Xinyue.

Little did she know that when Yan Ziyuan came back, he had already given Li Xinyue a big bag of gifts, which included two bags and a little bunny backpack of the same model as An An's, which was now being carried on Yueyue's back.

"You two should put away the gifts your Aunt Yan sent you first. Don't make them dirty. Come in quickly and help get the dishes and chopsticks."

The food was served on the table and Li Hu poured four glasses of wine.

"Tsk tsk, it's still the wine brewed by Fu Yu that smells so good. I've been craving it for two years."

"Look at your behavior. Fu Yu clearly gave you two bottles before he left. Who told you to go out and show off?"

The consequence of showing off was that Li Yunhua invited several leaders over, and they drank two bottles of wine in one meal. Li Hu was so distressed that he couldn't sleep well for several nights.

"Okay, let's not talk about those sad past events."

"Ziyuan, since your injury has healed, are you planning to resume training tomorrow?"

This was Li Hu's tentative statement.

He felt that tonight was not just a simple dinner party, otherwise why not invite Fan Zhao from next door to join us?

"In the short term, I will still be recuperating from my injuries and will not be leading the team."

Yan Ziyuan didn't intend to keep them in suspense, and said directly: "I'm meeting you tonight because I want to tell you about something and ask for your opinions."

"Boss, just tell me what you have to say."

Seeing his formal tone, Xiaobai and Huazi also put down their chopsticks.

"Tiantian, Xiaozheng, take some food back to your room to eat."

"Sister-in-law, no need. This matter can be said to have something to do with you."

Yan Ziyuan stopped Liu Aihua who was about to go back to her room to avoid their conversation.

"That's right."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be transferred back to Beijing at the end of this month."

"I have a few vacancies on hand, and you can be transferred with me. I prefer you three. If you are willing, the transfer order will be issued along with you."

"If you don't want to, then I'll make other plans and just pretend I didn't say anything."

According to Yan's father, he will be promoted to a higher level when he is transferred back this time, and he must have people under him whom he trusts very much.

Li Hu, Xiaobai, and Huazi, the three of them have the best relationship with him and their character is also impeccable.

Another reason is that they are not from Lu City, and their wives are not from Lu City either, so they have no ties and can leave with their families.
