Chapter 713 New Year's Eve
"What, going back to my parents' house? I'm not going!"
Why should she go back to her parents' home? Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. If she goes back to celebrate the New Year, what will happen if it gets out?
Unexpectedly, Village Chief Fu tapped his cane, his eyes full of unquestionable determination.
"I'm informing you, not negotiating with you. If you don't want to go back to your parents' home, then go to the police station. You can choose one!"
The old village chief is now annoyed with Wang Zhaodi. Since Fu Laoer can't control his wife, he lets her go back to their village and make trouble.
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Zhaodi's face turned pale instantly. She didn't want to choose either of the two options.
Whether it was the police station or returning to her parents' home, it would be a death sentence for her. She looked at Fu Laoer for help, but Fu Laoer saw her and quickly lowered his head, as if he was afraid of being stared at by her.
As for Old Lady Wang, it was even more impossible for her to plead for her. Considering what she had done, it would be considered merciful if Old Lady Wang didn't eat her alive.
Seeing fear finally showing on Wang Zhaodi's face, Village Chief Fu snorted coldly. If he didn't show some ruthlessness, people would think he was old.
"Fu Lao Er, as a villager of this village, you are not in your right mind. The day after tomorrow the village will worship Mazu, so don't go with them."
Without waiting for Fu Laoer to speak, Village Chief Fu Lao turned and said to Fu Laodao: "Gou Wa, is it okay to handle this this way first?"
"It's a special time now, and you're all tired, so let the children go back to bed early!"
"Since you've said that, how can I object?"
Fu Lao Er immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Seeing this, Fu Lao Da narrowed his eyes and punched Fu Lao Er in the face.
"Dog baby!"
Fu Laoer closed his eyes resignedly, but the expected pain did not come. He opened his eyes tremblingly, only to find that the fist was only as close to him as a finger.
Then, he felt a heat in his lower body and peed his pants again.
Boss Fu was close by and could immediately smell the scent of Boss Fu.
He frowned in disdain, and threatened fiercely in his tone, "Fu Lao Er, you better take care of your wife and your mother. If you dare to disturb my family again, I'll beat you to death!"
"I, I, I...I promise I won't dare to do it again."
"Gou Wa, don't worry. If it happens again, I'll have the village elders take out the family tree and cross out Fu Lao Er's name!"
When Village Chief Fu said this, Old Lady Wang was immediately shocked.
"Village Chief, how could you do this?"
"Don't have any objections. If you say anything more, you don't have to wait until next time. I'll cross his name out tomorrow!"
These words made Old Lady Wang shut up immediately. If Fu Laoer's name was crossed out from the family tree, then her son would become a wandering ghost after he died?
Village Chief Fu watched coldly. He knew exactly what Old Lady Wang cared about most. He hadn't mentioned expelling Old Master Fu from the family tree before because he hadn't committed any major offenses.
But this time, if the fire was blown down the mountain by the wind and set fire to the houses in the village, not to mention Fu Laoer, even he, the village chief, would have to eat peanuts, not to mention whether he would have the face to go down and meet his ancestors.
As for the matter of Boss Fu threatening Second Brother Fu, if it weren't for the cold weather, he would have freed up his hands to applaud.
This guy is not in a clear mind. He needs to be hit twice before he knows the severity of the problem.
The matter of Fu Laoer and his wife going up the mountain to burn paper was settled. Thinking that they would have to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner in the morning, Fu Laoda was too impatient to bother with them, so he waved goodbye to the village chief Fu Lao and took Fu Wan and Fu Ming home.
Fu Shi wanted to say something, but seeing that Boss Fu and the others looked tired, he swallowed his words back.
When Village Chief Fu saw this scene, he could only sigh and then let Fu Jian help him go back.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, Fu Wan was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. Although they had moved to a new house, the beds and quilts in the old house were still there. When she entered the house, the children were sleeping soundly. Fu Wan took off her coat and got on the bed. As soon as she touched the pillow, she fell asleep.
A dreamless night. The consequence of sleeping late is waking up late.
The weather was very good on New Year's Eve. When Fu Wan opened her eyes, the room was already bright and the sun outside was warm.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were already up, and even from her room, Fu Wan could hear Ye Xiaocui and Qin Anning talking outside. She scratched her hair, put on her clothes, and went out.
"Awan, are you awake?"
As soon as Ye Xiaocui saw her daughter, she invited her to have breakfast.
"There's still porridge in the pot. Brush your teeth and eat with a bowl."
"Oh, OK!"
There was still hot water in the steel pot in the kitchen. Fu Wan scooped some out and was wondering what Boss Fu was doing. When she turned around, she found that Boss Fu was sitting by the well plucking chicken feathers.
But there was clearly a plucked chicken in the basin in the kitchen.
"Dad, are we so generous today that we'd like to kill two chickens?"
This was totally unlike her mother's style. Even if the family's financial situation had improved significantly this year, Ye Xiaocui would never allow two chickens to be killed. And they were two hens at that.
Hearing his daughter's question, Boss Fu was about to respond when Ye Xiaocui beside him spoke up.
"Hey, I haven't told you this yet! Awan, the chicken in the kitchen was sent by Dahai.
I said no, but he insisted, saying his wife had killed and cleaned the meat early in the morning before sending it to me. I refused to take it, so he put it down and ran away!
After Ye Xiaocui finished speaking, she started complaining that Fu Dahai's family conditions were not good. If she remembered correctly, his family only raised two hens to lay eggs for his son to nourish his body.
Now that we kill one, won’t there be only one chicken laying eggs left at home?
As for Qian Jing, I was afraid that she would not accept it, so I cleaned it up for her.
God knows that at that time, the chicken prepared for the New Year was also killed by Boss Fu. So the current situation was caused, and the family rarely had the luxury of having two chickens for the New Year.
After Ye Xiaocui finished speaking, she held up the chicken and asked Fu Wan, "Awan, why don't you send this chicken back to their family? That child of theirs really needs to eat more meat!"
Fu Wan gulped down the porridge in her bowl and then came up with an idea: "Mom, it wouldn't be nice to refuse it after it's been given to us. But you're right, Xiaobin really needs some nourishment.
How about this, Dad, please help me chop the chicken into two halves. We'll take one half, and I'll take the other half with a cured rabbit later and send it back to Sister Qian."
"Hey, this is good!"
Boss Fu agreed very much, and Ye Xiaocui also agreed.
According to the custom in Fujia Village, New Year's Eve dinner is usually held at noon. Before starting the meal, each family must first bring the prepared rice and lit incense, perform a round of worship around the house, and then set off a couple of firecrackers. Only after the firecrackers have gone off can the family sit down to eat.
So around eleven o'clock, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from the village. Fu Wan finished her breakfast and handed the food to Qian Jing. Qian Jing naturally refused to accept it, so Fu Wan put it down and used the excuse of being busy at home to quickly get away and go home.
The New Year’s Eve dinner is undoubtedly the most sumptuous dinner of the year, and Fu Wan’s family is no exception. There are steamed grouper, blanched nine-segment shrimp, stir-fried octopus, wild mushroom stewed chicken soup, etc.
However, apart from the New Year’s Eve dinner, what the villagers look forward to most is the worship of Mazu on the morning of the first day of the new year.
