Chapter 886: Why Did You Bring Him Back?

Ding Zhiqing Point, Northern Suburb Farm

Someone knocked on the door of Fu Yanwan's dormitory. The female Ding Zhiqing, startled awake, said crossly: "Who is it?"

A male voice came from outside: "Comrade, I am a Ding Zhiqing from Huagu Village nearby, here to find Ding Zhiqing Fu Yanwan."

Sun Juanjuan, who originally hated anyone disturbing her peaceful sleep so early in the morning, heard they were looking for Fu Yanwan and jumped out of bed in a few leaps. She did not open the door, since everyone else was still asleep: "Yanwan has gone to Huicheng; she is not at the Ding Zhiqing Point. Do you need something from her?"

The man outside the door did not expect Fu Yanwan to be absent: "Her second sister-in-law fell this morning when she got up; her leg is badly injured and must be treated at the hospital in the city. Her second brother asked me to bring his son over so she could look after him for a few days. What should we do now?"

Sun Juanjuan knew the Fu family matters best: "Yanwan probably won't be back these few days. You should take the child back with you. If you really can't, just take him to the city. With so many people from her maiden family and her husband's family, someone will surely be able to look after the child."

Hearing this, the male Ding Zhiqing outside did not delay further. He ran toward the roadside holding the child, intending to intercept Fu Yanwei and his wife and return the child to them.

Fortunately, he ran fast. When he reached the crossroads, he saw the village ox cart coming this way and stepped forward a few paces holding the child.

With a "Yoo" from the driver, the ox cart stopped: "Ding Zhiqing Wan, why are you here?"

Before the person called Ding Zhiqing Wan could reply, the child in his arms began to fuss: "Daddy, Mommy."

Then he started crying: "I want Mommy."

Hearing her son's cries, Hao Yanhong tried to sit up on the cart, but Fu Yanwei said: "Don't move; if you get hurt again, it will be even more troublesome."

As he spoke, he gave his wife a look.

Only then did he look at Ding Zhiqing Wan: "Why did you bring him back?"

Ding Zhiqing Wan, holding the child, came to the side of the cart: "Your sister has gone to Huicheng and is not at the Ding Zhiqing Point. I could only bring him to you."

Upon hearing these words, Fu Yanwei stood there completely stunned.

Hao Yanhong let out an "Aah" and sat up: "What did you say? She has gone to Huicheng?"

Ding Zhiqing Wan was startled by her sudden movement: "That is what the people at the Ding Zhiqing Point said. I am not clear on the specific situation."

As he spoke, he handed Fu Jinze from his arms into Fu Yanwei's arms: "Anyway, you are returning to Huicheng now. Later, your family members can help look after the child. I have other matters, so I will return first."

He feared that if he delayed even a moment, this couple would dump the child on him.

Fu Jinze hugged his own father's neck: "Daddy, I want to go back to Grandma's house with you too. Grandma has delicious food there. I want to eat Hudu Gao, sugar figures, and fried Gezhi."

Hearing her son's words, Fu Yanwei was about to speak, but his wife snatched the words from him: "We will go back. The whole family will go back. Why should the children of the eldest and third branches be able to eat and drink luxuriously in the city, while my son must stay in the countryside and suffer like this?

The New Year is coming soon. There is little work for the team now, and I am injured. Once I am discharged from the hospital, we can go home to celebrate the New Year. Later, you come back once more and have the village issue an introduction letter again."

Seeing Ding Zhiqing Wan leave, the uncle driving the cart asked: "Ding Zhiqing Fu, shall we go now or not?"

Fu Yanwei quickly replied: "Go, go, go. My wife's leg needs surgery in the city; we cannot delay."

With a crack of the whip on the ground by the driver, he shouted "Gee" at the ox ahead.

The ox cart continued on its way.

In front of the driver, the couple dared not say much, but Fu Yanwei comforted Hao Yanhong with a few words every now and then.

Hao Yanhong would occasionally teach her son how to curry favor with Grandpa and Grandma after returning to Huicheng and how to get along well with the cousins, leaving the driver ahead listening in utter bewilderment.
