Chapter 298 Fu Huaiyi's Hometown
Watching him sit at the table eating, she asked him again, "How much further?"
Fu Huaiyi thought for a moment and said, "About two hundred li."
The roads are difficult to travel at this time of year; it takes half a day to travel over 200 li (approximately 100 kilometers).
"Then let's go back a little earlier tomorrow so we can get back for lunch."
"almost."
The night passed without any incident.
They got up around 6 a.m. the next day, checked out of the hotel, had breakfast, and then continued their journey around 7 a.m.
"There are still six days of vacation left." They were counting down the days of their short honeymoon.
"It will take two days to get back, and I need to rest at home for at least a day before I can go back to work, right? I can only stay at home for three days."
“Three days is enough,” Fu Huaiyi said.
The holiday went by so fast.
I'm taking a break now, but in the second half of the year, I'll probably have to work overtime on weekends.
However, he was lucky; those who couldn't get leave in the first half of the year couldn't get any in the second half.
Around 11 o'clock, the car drove into some old residential buildings.
Although the houses look quite old, the streets are very clean.
After crossing one or two more streets, the car stopped in front of one of the old houses.
"Is this right here?"
"Yes, we're home."
Lin Yuyao stared at the house in shock.
The walls are antique and elegant.
A tall, red-lacquered wooden door.
There are two stone lions at the entrance.
How could an ordinary family build a house like this?
"Is this Grandma's house?"
"Yes."
Yes, she remembered Fu Huaiyi saying that his grandmother was from a wealthy family.
So Grandpa really did marry a beautiful and wealthy woman.
Fu Huaiyi stood at the door for a while and sighed, "Without Grandpa, this house wouldn't be here today."
It was taken away several years ago.
Fu Huaiyi stepped forward and knocked on the door. A moment later, someone came out of the house.
"Who is it? Oh, it's A-Yi who's back."
A middle-aged woman came out and was overjoyed to see Fu Huaiyi. She turned around and shouted into the house, "Son-in-law, it's Ayi who's back!"
Fu Huaiyi pulled Lin Yuyao inside, and soon they saw the old man come out as well.
"Grandpa, I brought Yao Yao back to pay respects to our ancestors. Aren't you surprised?"
The old man laughed heartily, "I knew you'd bring your wife back, I guessed it all along."
Lin Yuyao stepped forward and said, "Hello, Grandpa."
"Hey, girl, how did you get back?"
Lin Yuyao glanced at Fu Huaiyi, "I drove back."
"Drove back? You set off yesterday, right?"
"Yes."
"Did you stay at a hotel last night?"
"Yes."
"Alright, let's go inside and chat."
The old man pulled her into the house to talk.
You have to walk through a long corridor to get to the living room. This house occupies a lot of land, and it's really not easy for it to be kept in private hands.
Only my father-in-law was at home; my younger sister had gone to school, and my parents-in-law were busy with work.
Fu Huaiyi had his men unload all the items, some of which they had bought, and two large bags of Ye Lian's return gifts.
Fu Huaiyi pointed to one of the packages and said, "Grandpa, this wasn't bought; it's peanut brittle that my mother-in-law made herself."
"You made it yourself? Let me have a piece to try."
"to make."
He had pretty good teeth; he took a bite and nodded repeatedly.
"Great, homemade food always tastes better. Factory-made food always uses saccharin, this is all sugar, right?"
"Of course, she can't put saccharin in food for her own family. I saw her boil half a pot of sugar."
"Then don't give this to others, Xiao He, take it to my room."
"Hey."
Fu Huaiyi: "You can't finish all of this."
"I'll save it to eat slowly."
Be careful of rotten teeth.
The old man laughed proudly, "If it were going to rot, it would have rotted long ago. I'm so old and it hasn't rotted yet. It won't rot even if it goes into my coffin with me."
Good teeth are also hereditary. People born with good teeth can have them for life as long as they don't overdo it.
After chatting for a while, Fu Xingye came back for dinner and saw Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao there.
"Why are you two back?"
"I brought Yaoyao back to pay respects to our ancestors. Dad, why are you all alone? Where's Mom?"
"Your mom is busy; she's on a business trip and won't be back for a week."
"Ah? What a coincidence?"
"Hmph, you're one to talk! You didn't even say you were bringing your wife back. If you had said so earlier, she wouldn't have left."
"Should we call her back now?"
"She went to Guangcheng, which is far away. Go ahead and call her, and see if she doesn't give you a good scolding."
Fu Huaiyi thought about it and decided against it.
"No need, we can talk about it later."
Unfortunately, my mother-in-law is away on a business trip, and my younger sister has a lot of schoolwork. She doesn't get home until 10 a.m. every day and has to leave again at 6 a.m.
I should have told them sooner; Fu Huaiyi said he would just come back and surprise them.
Now look what's happened, I haven't even gotten to see my mother-in-law.
I saw my sister at 10 p.m.
When it was her turn to sleep, she was too excited to fall asleep and pulled Lin Yuyao aside to make a request.
"Sister-in-law, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Before Lin Yuyao could speak, Fu Huaiyi pulled her behind him to shield her.
"What are you thinking? You wish!"
Her father, standing beside her, also said, "Stop fooling around. Your sister-in-law has been traveling for two days and is exhausted. She would have been asleep if it weren't for waiting for you. Look at you, how can she sleep with you making such a racket?"
Fu Huaiyi reminded her, "You have to go to school tomorrow, so you have to get up at six o'clock."
He glanced at the time and said, "You don't have much time left."
Fu Yatong was very upset and tilted her head to look at Lin Yuyao, wanting to see her answer.
Lin Yuyao was both amused and exasperated. Her father-in-law had already spoken, so what could she say?
I thought to myself, if you fall asleep in class tomorrow and the teacher comes to my father-in-law, won't they blame me?
"Go to sleep now, come visit us in Nancheng when you have a holiday."
Fu Yatong's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Yeah, we might move to a new house then."
"Okay, then it's settled."
"it is good."
Lin Yuyao promised to take her out to play during the summer vacation, and that's why she agreed.
Back in the room, Lin Yuyao asked curiously, "Why does Aunt Xiaohe call Grandpa and son-in-law?"
Fu Huaiyi explained, "This son-in-law refers to my aunt's husband, but my grandmother is not her biological aunt; she is a cousin from a few branches of the family."
"They are related by blood."
"Yes, she was separated by several generations, and she was the fifth generation from my father's generation. Those were turbulent years, and it wasn't easy to survive. Her parents died when she was very young, and she was later taken in and raised by my grandmother. After she got married, she married the wrong person, and they took advantage of her as an orphan, causing her a lot of grievances."
At first, she was afraid of causing trouble for my grandmother, so she didn't say anything. It was only after a neighbor couldn't bear to see her suffer that my grandmother learned of the ordeal she had endured. Later, it was my grandmother who resolutely brought her back home. For all these years, she has lived with us, managing all the big and small affairs of the household.
Asking him revealed Xiaohe's aunt's identity; she was a relative and an elder in the family.
She needs to know the relationships between these people in her family to avoid misunderstandings and awkward situations for everyone.
