Chapter 299 Returning to Nancheng
Chapter 299 Returning to Nancheng
The next day, the old man arranged for them to pay respects to their ancestors.
Actually, the Fu family didn't have any ancestors to worship. When he was a child, his father took him to work for the landlord to beg for food. He didn't even know if he would survive to grow up, so who would worship ancestors?
His father never told him where his ancestors were buried.
Or perhaps, for long-term laborers like them, there's simply nowhere to be buried.
What he called ancestor worship was the ancestral worship of Fu Huaiyi's grandmother's family.
She has two brothers in the Martyrs' Park, and their ancestral graves are outside the city, dating back to her grandmother and five generations before that.
After the worship ceremony, they went back to their ancestral hall to kowtow.
Grandpa only remembered his parents' names, which were also enshrined in the ancestral hall.
"Huixin, I've brought my granddaughter-in-law to see you. I hope you're doing well over there. Wait for me a few more years, and I'll come to find you once I hold my great-grandson in my arms."
"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? If you're like this, do you think we'll dare to have any more children?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then quickly slapped himself in the mouth.
"I won't die until I can hold two great-grandchildren."
"If we get pregnant with twins, we won't dare to have them."
Old man: “…”
"You'll only die if you hug three of them."
"Then you won't die. With the one-child policy, we definitely won't have a second child. The chance of having triplets is one in ten thousand."
The old man said angrily, "Huixin, go and reincarnate quickly, don't wait for me, I'm not going to die."
Fu Xingye said, "Hey, Dad, what are you talking about in front of the ancestral tablets? Don't keep bringing up things like death."
"That's right, Grandpa, you're getting senile."
"Shut up, you're just like him."
Fu Huaiyi is very relaxed in front of his family, especially his grandfather, where he can occasionally become a bit stern.
After the ancestral worship ceremony, he took her to look around the neighborhood. Actually, he wasn't familiar with the area either, as he hadn't lived there for very long.
It is said that Fu Huaiyi always studied in Nancheng. Even after his grandfather returned, he did not come back, only returning during summer and winter vacations.
The three days passed quickly; we paid respects to our ancestors and saw many of his collections.
It's because she has no artistic talent; she doesn't actually understand it, she's just making things up.
Three days later, they embarked on their journey home.
The old man saw them to the door and instructed Qu He to stuff as many things as possible into their car.
No matter how much they refused, it was no use; they only gave up when the trunk was full.
He wasn't in a hurry when he came, but he was in a great hurry to go back.
I drove all day and didn't rest even at night.
Lin Yuyao was very worried. "You're driving while fatigued. Quickly find a place to stay, a hotel or a guesthouse will do."
"No, we're almost there, about two more hours."
what?
So fast?
"I just fell asleep. Did you get some rest?"
"I rested for a while."
I believe you.
"Find a roadside to stop."
"what happened?"
"Hey, I told you to stop, so stop now, hurry up."
He assumed she needed to use the restroom urgently, so he stopped without thinking much of it.
That just so happens that he also needs to resolve this issue.
There was no one on the roadside, and no streetlights.
He took out a flashlight. "Come on, I'll take you there."
She doesn't really care whether she gets in or not, but since the car is already parked, let's just take care of it.
When you're out and about, you don't have to be so particular; you can just find a patch of grass and take care of it.
However, while he was dealing with the situation, she went back to her car and took his car keys.
When he returned, she simply told him, "I've taken the keys. You can rest for a while."
Fu Huaiyi: "I'm really not tired. I slept very well last night."
"But it's tonight now. Listen to me, sleep for twenty minutes and I'll wake you up. We won't make a difference if it's just a little while longer."
Fu Huaiyi sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll go to the back seat and take a nap. Twenty minutes is twenty minutes, don't drag it out to thirty."
Lin Yuyao: "..." Okay.
He falls asleep very quickly; he can fall asleep almost anytime he wants.
The surroundings were pitch black and silent, with only the sounds of frogs croaking and insects chirping in the fields.
Twenty minutes passed quickly, and she waited another two or three minutes before waking him up.
Fu Huaiyi woke up, raised his hand to check the time, and said, "I'm three minutes late."
Lin Yuyao's lips twitched. "I calculated the time it took you to fall asleep. It took you three minutes to enter a deep sleep."
"Can I spend three minutes?"
"Huh? You don't believe me?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..." How could I not believe it?
"Letter, here's the key, go home."
It took an hour and a half to get there, which was supposed to take two hours.
At this time, there were no pedestrians on the surrounding streets, and looking at the familiar streets, I felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
The two parked their car downstairs and started moving things.
However, I can only take a portion; the rest will be put in the trunk and I'll come back to pick it up tomorrow.
They now cook, eat, and work upstairs, and sleep downstairs.
The downstairs room has a large bed, so it doesn't make as much noise as upstairs when it's windy or rainy.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and summer is just around the corner. It's not so hot to sleep downstairs.
After washing up, it was almost midnight. I had been feeling sleepy for a while, but now I wasn't sleepy anymore.
Since I don't have to work tomorrow anyway, why not... "If you can't sleep, let's chat a little longer?"
"What to talk about?"
"The house is almost finished being renovated. When are we going to move in?"
Lin Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "Let's move after the New Year."
Why did you leave it for so long?
"It's a new house, there's pollution from the renovation."
"Have someone clean the inside and outside several more times."
There's no concept yet that new houses can't be lived in, but they've done so much carpentry work, there must be some pollution involved.
It's impossible to explain to him.
Lin Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "How about I check the almanac and find an auspicious day to move?"
You still believe in these things?
"I believe it, of course I believe it."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Hopefully it won't be too long. We'll move there after summer vacation at the latest."
It's early June now, which means three months after summer vacation.
Taking a three-month break isn't out of the question.
It's all made of solid wood and coated with wood wax oil, so the pollution from the renovation isn't very high.
Three months is enough.
Wait a minute……
She suddenly remembered.
"I promised my sister I'd invite her to come over for summer vacation and let her stay at the new house. What should I do?"
Fu Huaiyi: "What should we do?"
"I'm asking you."
Fu Huaiyi said, "I said let's move in as soon as the renovation is finished, but you said you want to wait until the New Year. So what do you suggest we do?"
This……
"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I forgot for a moment that the new house is renovated and should be left to sit for a while before people can move in."
"Then let's put it aside for now and let her live across the hall. I don't want her living in our new house."
But would she be willing to live across the hall?
She felt she might want to send her brother to live across the street.
……
The next day they unloaded everything from the car, which was mostly various kinds of food.
I didn't think there was much when I took it, but how come there was so much when I moved it?
The dried fish and meat were all hanging on the balcony.
There are also some dried osmanthus flowers, and boiled osmanthus syrup. What's in that bottle?
"Canned loquats?" Lin Yuyao asked in surprise.
"Seems to be."
Who did this?
"It was made by Aunt He."
