Chapter 369: I Will Definitely Take Good Care of Her
Fu Yanwan heard this and asked, "Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"
Fu Yan Cheng raised his hand and ruffled his sister's hair, saying, "No."
After speaking, he looked at his parents and said, "How about we all go over together? That way, we can introduce Yanwan to my eldest sister. If Yanwan really encounters trouble, someone will be there to help. After all, Uncle Zhang is so busy every day; he can't possibly attend to Xiao Wan all the time."
The Fu couple heard this and also thought it made sense. Since they were already here, making the trip was fine; besides, they were about to become relatives soon.
Fu Mu looked at her daughter and said, "When I came in, I saw a supply and marketing cooperative ahead. Let's go buy some gifts to take along in a moment."
Fu Yanwan quickly spoke up, "Mom, take that jar of malted milk powder. Fourth Sister's older sister is pregnant."
Fu Mu waved her hand and said, "No need. Keep it for yourself to eat. We'll just buy a new jar at the supply and marketing cooperative in a moment."
Fu Yanwan waved her hand instead, saying, "No, no, no. Why buy more when we have some ready? I can't eat all this by myself anyway, and besides, it won't be good if it sits for too long."
Fu Mu sighed inwardly: Good, the second son and his wife have truly angered this girl.
She could only agree, saying, "Then that's fine. You take it, and go buy some other things at the supply and marketing cooperative."
Fu Yanwan went inside, took out the jar of malted milk powder, put the other items into her own cabinet and locked it, then locked the door and followed everyone onto the car.
At the supply and marketing cooperative, they bought two cans of canned food and one jin of peach crisp before heading toward the Qiu family.
Fu Yan Cheng had heard from Liu Chuxue that the Qiu family had split the household, so the eldest sister's mother-in-law had decided not to let her go to work anymore; instead, she stayed home to cook for the whole family.
When the car stopped at the Qiu family's main gate, some busybodies gathered around, saying, "Hey, isn't this the young man who helped the Qiu family with the wedding procession that day?"
No sooner had these words fallen than someone shouted toward the Qiu family courtyard, "Xia Qiu, your relatives have come!"
Xia Qiu was washing clothes in the courtyard; hearing the shout, she walked out.
Seeing Fu Yan Cheng, she said, "Yan Cheng, why have you come over?"
Fu Yan Cheng took some cucumbers, tomatoes, melons, and a large watermelon out of the basket and said, "Today I took my parents to your home to propose. Uncle and Aunt asked me to bring these for you."
After speaking, he pointed to the Fu family members who had just gotten off the car and said, "These are my parents, and that is my younger sister. She is a Ding Zhiqing at our North Suburb Farm."
Xia Qiu greeted Fu Fu and Fu Mu first, saying, "Greetings, Uncle and Aunt."
Then she turned to Fu Yanwan with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to be Yan Cheng's sister?"
Fu Yan Cheng looked puzzled and asked, "You know each other?"
Fu Yanwan stuck out her tongue and said quietly, "Last time my eldest brother came to visit me, on the way to Uncle Zhang's place, we happened to meet by chance. However, at that time, she didn't know me."
After saying this, she raised her voice and said, "A few days ago, we met at the field edge. I happened to help Sister Xia Qiu with a small favor, so we got to know each other."
Xia Qiu smiled and invited them, saying, "Come inside and sit quickly."
Some time ago, when her younger brother-in-law got married, her parents had mentioned it to her. Because she was pregnant and the family was about to split the household, they didn't let her go back.
Because they wanted Xia Qiu to take care of their beloved daughter, and since the proposal succeeded today, Fu Fu and Fu Mu felt a bit of affection for Xia Qiu, after all, she is the biological sister of their future daughter-in-law.
After entering the room, Fu Mu signaled her daughter to put the items she was carrying on the table and said, "Liu Chuxue told me you are pregnant. Keep these things; they are just right for nourishing your body."
Xia Qiu saw that inside there was malted milk powder, canned food, and peach crisp. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, this is too precious. I cannot accept it."
Fu Mu pulled her down to sit and said, "From now on, we will be one family. Besides, we came for two reasons: first, to see you, and second, to bring Yanwan here to get to know the place. She is a Ding Zhiqing at the farm alone now, and in the future, she will likely trouble you."
Hearing this, Xia Qiu smiled and declared, "Auntie, rest assured. Sister Yanwan and I already get along well. With this new relationship now, I will definitely take good care of her."
With Xia Qiu's words, the smile on Fu Mu's face grew even brighter, and she said, "That is truly too kind of you."
At this moment, Qiu Fu and Qiu Mu, having received news from the fields, hurried back and said, "Xia Qiu, I heard relatives have come to the family?"
