Chapter 440: Mom Will Definitely Find a Way to Get You Back to the City Sooner

After the Fu family left Willow Tree Village, they did not head straight back to the village but instead detoured to the Northern Suburb Farm.

First, to take Fu Yanwan back along the way; second, Fu's eldest uncle and his wife wanted to stop by to see their youngest daughter, Fu Yanjing.

They had asked their youngest daughter last night whether she wanted to go to Willow Tree Village for Yan Cheng's cousin's engagement banquet, but the girl had been throwing a tantrum at them and flatly refused.

Fu's eldest aunt had previously promised her daughter she would find a way to transfer her back to the city as soon as possible, but she had never been able to make it happen; originally, everything had been agreed upon with the Qi family, but Fu Yan Cheng directly refused, not only causing her to lose face with the Qi family but also causing the plan to transfer the youngest daughter back to the city to fall through.

This was the reason why Fu's eldest aunt spoke so recklessly today.

Although both were at the Northern Suburb Farm, the two were not at the same Ding Zhiqing point; one was at the poultry breeding point over there, the other at the vegetable planting point over here, and the two sisters had hardly ever met.

As soon as they entered the farm, the eldest couple went to the poultry breeding area to find their daughter, intending to go over and comfort Fu Yanjing.

Meanwhile, Fu's father and mother took a detour to Huagu Village, not far from the farm, preparing to go see their second son and daughter-in-law, and Fu Yanwan naturally accompanied them to Huagu Village.

Huo Jingrui accompanied his grandfather to the farm headquarters to chat with Farm Director Zhang, but they had agreed on a meeting time before parting, since they still needed to return to the city.

Farm Director Zhang was so excited to see Fu's grandfather: "Commander, how did you have time to come? Why didn't you say anything in advance so I could make arrangements beforehand?"

Fu's grandfather walked in with a smile: "I just thought I'd pay you a surprise visit to see if you're working seriously here."

Hearing this, Farm Director Zhang said very seriously: "There are no weak soldiers under a strong general; even after retiring, one does not lose one's colors. I certainly won't let you down, Commander."

"Not bad, I like hearing that."

"Commander, please come in and sit. Did you come today to see your two granddaughters?"

Fu's grandfather glanced at the grandson beside him: "You guessed wrong. This young man is getting engaged today; I stopped by for the ceremony and happened to come in to see you along the way."

Farm Director Zhang smiled at Fu Yan Cheng: "Engaged? Is the partner from near our farm?"

Fu Yan Cheng nodded: "Yes, from Willow Tree Village, just on the other side of the mountain from the farm."

"This is great news. Has the wedding date been set? I must visit to have a cup of wedding wine."

Fu Yan Cheng didn't feel embarrassed at all: "She hasn't reached the age yet; it will probably have to wait until after the New Year."

Hearing this, Farm Director Zhang smiled at Fu Yan Cheng in a somewhat ambiguous way: "You really are something, young man."

The implied meaning was: You really are a beast; she's still a minor, and you've already set your sights on her.

Fu Yan Cheng had thick skin: "When you meet someone, you naturally have to strike first."

"Truly the grandson of a Commander."

While they were chatting enthusiastically over there, Fu's eldest uncle asked so many people before finally finding his youngest daughter.

When Fu Yanjing saw her parents, her tears fell as if they were free, nonstop: "You've seen it yourselves; I don't want to stay here for another day. Dealing with these poultry all day long, I've even caught their smell."

When Fu's eldest uncle and his wife found their daughter, she was collecting eggs in the chicken coop.

Hearing about it was one thing, but seeing it with one's own eyes was another; her daughter, raised in pampered luxury, was now covered in chicken feathers, stepping in chicken manure, sweating profusely in the stifling shed while collecting eggs, and they couldn't help but redden their eyes: "Yanjing, rest assured, Mom will definitely find a way to get you back to the city sooner."
