Chapter 353: How Did This Become Related to Me?

Mother Liu's guess had indeed come true.

Because of the proposal today, Fu Yan Cheng had returned home from the army last night.

Opposite the Liu family, the Fu family had Fu Yan Cheng waking everyone up before dawn: "Mom, Dad, get up, it'll be too late if we wait any longer."

Fu's father looked at the pitch-black sky outside: "It's not even light yet, what are you screaming about?"

Fu Yan Cheng simply said, "I'm going out for a run, you two get up quickly."

Fu's mother rolled over and mumbled groggily, "This son can't be kept."

Hearing those words, Fu's father's sleepiness vanished by half.

Thinking of his son's temper, he pulled the Mao Jin blanket from nearby to cover his wife's belly, then got dressed and rose from bed.

He started the porridge first, only then going to wash up.

Fu's eldest daughter-in-law, Guo Wenjing, vaguely heard the commotion outside, kicked Fu Yanming who was sleeping soundly: "What time is it, why do I hear noise outside?"

Fu Yanming was sleeping soundly, but after being kicked by his wife: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Guo Wenjing said irritably: "There's noise outside, could a thief have broken into the yard?"

Now Fu Yanming didn't dare sleep either, sitting up directly and listening intently to the noise outside: "There really is noise, I'll go check."

Saying this, he gently got out of bed, cautiously went to the door to observe for a while, then opened the door and walked out.

Guo Wenjing felt a bit uneasy, so she also got out of bed and followed him out.

But as soon as she stepped out of the room, she heard her husband's voice: "Dad, what are you doing? It's still dark, why are you up?"

Fu's father said irritably: "Do you think I want to get up? It's that rascal fourth son knocking on the door."

Fu Yanming looked left and right: "Where is he?"

Fu's father stirred the porridge in the pot with a large ladle, covered his mouth with a big yawn, then said: "Went out for a run."

Fu Yanming suddenly laughed, leaning closer to his father: "Dad, do you think fourth son is too nervous, so he's tormenting himself and dragging you two into it?"

Fu's father gave his eldest son a dirty look: "Don't laugh at him, you were no different from him back then."

Guo Wenjing, who had followed over, heard this and uncharitably laughed out loud.

Fu Yanming was about to say something to save face, but then saw Fu Yan Cheng enter the yard.

Fu Yan Cheng was carrying steamed buns and fried dough sticks: "Big brother, big sister-in-law, why are you up?"

Fu Yanming said irritably: "That's all your fault."

Fu Yan Cheng put the items on the kitchen table: "How does this have anything to do with me?"

Fu Yanming glanced at his wife: "Dad is cooking in the kitchen, your big sister-in-law has light sleep, heard the noise and thought a thief had broken into the house, insisted I come out and check."

After these words, everyone collectively felt awkward for three seconds, then, everyone started laughing.

What a situation.

Fu's mother heard the laughter outside, couldn't sleep anymore, hurriedly got up to tidy up; with her son's level of importance, if she dragged him down, he would surely be unhappy.

Might as well get up.

Seeing that her brother-in-law had bought steamed buns and fried dough sticks, and the Eunuch had made porridge, Guo Wenjing washed her hands, went to the clay jar to take out some pickled vegetables from a while ago, and sliced them into strips.

Fu's mother finished washing up and came over, and the meal was already ready.

Zhang Yurong came out of the room and saw her parents-in-law, big brother and big sister-in-law, and the fourth son eating: "Why didn't you wait for us?"

After asking, she suddenly remembered something and quickly made amends: "Oh, oh, oh, I remember now, today fourth son is going to the countryside for the proposal."

After speaking, thinking of something, she couldn't help but say: "Fourth son, is it really settled? No more considering?"
