Chapter 656 Fu Dazhi Returns
"Hey, what good news is going on? Why are there firecrackers going off in the ancestral hall?"
"Yes, it's not even Chinese New Year yet, and today isn't even the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month. Why is there such a commotion in the ancestral hall? Let's go and take a look!"
No matter how cold the weather is, it cannot stop people from watching the fun. As soon as the firecrackers sound, everyone at home and outside put down what they are doing and rush to the ancestral hall.
Fu Wan didn't know that this was the commotion made by the old village chief Fu to celebrate the calligraphy she had obtained, so she immediately pulled Qin An Ning towards the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is located in the village, leaning against the mountain, nearly two hundred meters away from the village entrance, but very close to Fu Wan and her family's new house.
Fu Wan and Qin An Ning had not walked for a few minutes when they saw Fu Ming standing aside with a match in his hand.
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
Fu Wan nudged Fu Ming with her elbow. Fu Ming thought it was someone else, but when he turned around, he realized it was his sister and wife.
He immediately bared his teeth and smiled brightly: "Hey, the village chief asked me to help him set off firecrackers!"
After saying that, he raised the matches in his hand.
"Why is the village chief setting off firecrackers?"
Seeing the confusion on Fu Wan's face, Fu Ming winked at her.
"Isn't it to celebrate our..."
So that's how it is. Fu Wan suddenly realized. At this time, many villagers had already arrived at the door of the ancestral hall. Seeing the old village chief Fu calmly lighting incense for the ancestors, they all asked curiously about the reason.
Village Chief Fu naturally couldn't say much. After all, if these people knew, they would definitely run to Mr. Fu's house to see what the calligraphy looked like.
If one or two of these people are not careful and something goes wrong with the calligraphy, he will be the sinner.
So Fu Wan heard the old village chief Fu constantly giving perfunctory treatment to the uncles and aunts in the village.
"Stop making such noises! All you need to know is that there's a happy event in the village! If you really want to know what it is, you'll find out when you come to the ancestral hall after the New Year!"
He had already made plans and would ask Fu Wan if he could take a photo of the calligraphy, print it out and hang it on the wall of the ancestral hall, so that it could inspire the younger generations to work hard in the future.
Seeing that the village chief was so mysterious, everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued, but at this time, they were younger and more senior than the village chief in the ancestral hall, and they were used to listening to the village chief's arrangements.
The village chief said we’ll come after the New Year, so we’ll come after the New Year.
Everyone in Fujia Village has the same surname. It was because of their unity that the ancestral hall was not destroyed during the "Four Olds" movement.
The sea transportation in Fujia Village is good this year, and since no one cares about the ancestral hall anymore, the old village chief Fu took back the incense burner from the ancestral hall a few days ago.
Everyone was talking when suddenly a female voice rang out.
"Oh, everyone is in the ancestral hall. Go and see, Fu Dazhi is back!"
The person who spoke was Wang Xiuer, who had just run back with a basket. After finishing her housework, she went to the beach to find Fu Qing and Fang Min.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked onto the main road, I saw a strange man in tattered clothes.
She was thinking at the time, hey, this beggar really doesn't know how to choose the right time. It's already past lunch time, why is he coming to the village to beg at this time?
Then she thought again, this beggar doesn't have a watch, so how can he know what time it is? He can just beg wherever he goes.
Since Fang Min came, Fu Qing's spirits have improved a lot. The house is full of laughter all day long, and Wang Xiuer is in a very good mood as well.
They had some steamed sweet potatoes and porridge for lunch. There were some sweet potatoes left at home at noon, so Wang Xiuer thought of going back to get some to give to the beggars.
We have all been hungry and know how painful it is.
Since she was a beggar girl, her heart softened a little.
Unexpectedly, the beggar looked up, and Wang Xiuer saw the man's face clearly and screamed in fright.
Oh my God, this guy’s hair is so long that it covers his face. I didn’t expect he’s a man!
The worst thing is that she seemed to recognize who this person was.
It’s Fu Dazhi who goes out to make a lot of money!
When Fu Dazhi saw Wang Xiuer, he didn't say hello. Instead, he screamed a few times in fear and then fell to the ground.
Wang Xiuer didn't dare to step forward when she saw this. She hadn't read much, but she had brains!
Fu Dazhi doesn't look like a normal person at all!
So Wang Xiuer ran to the village. She had just heard the sound of firecrackers and guessed that there must be someone in the ancestral hall.
When they heard that Fu Dazhi had returned, the first person to react was Fu Dazhi's mother Yu Guixiang.
When Yu Guixiang first saw Wang Xiuer running towards her, she was still muttering in her heart: Did this widow Wang pick up some money? She is running so fast.
When she heard Wang Xiuer mention Fu Dazhi, her eyes widened and she suspected that she had heard it wrong.
"Widow Wang, what did you say? Dazhi is back?"
"Are you seeing things? Dazhi has only been out for less than a month, and he's already back?"
"You're not mistaken, it's your Dazhi."
When Wang Xiuer heard the man calling her a widow, she rolled her eyes to the sky.
Since the matter was urgent, she didn't bother with Yu Guixiang.
Yu Guixiang was immediately happy when she saw that Wang Xiuer didn't seem to be lying.
"Oh, my Dazhi must have made a lot of money and is coming home for the New Year. Haha, I told you that our Dazhi is a promising guy!"
"Is this true? Dazhi really made a fortune and came home? He's only been out for half a month, and he's already made a fortune?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I go home!"
The villagers were talking about it, and Wang Xiuer's face was indescribable. Fu Dazhi was not the one who made a lot of money.
It's almost like suffering a serious crime.
After Yu Guixiang was happy, she felt something was wrong. Why didn't Dazhi come to the ancestral hall after he came back? Wang Xiuer even came over. Could it be that he took some good things and went home?
Thinking of this, Yu Guixiang could no longer stay there and turned around to run home.
"Oh, I won't tell you anymore. I have to go back to see my Dazhi!"
"Auntie, go to the main road at the entrance of the village. Dazhi is there!"
Wang Xiuer called her from afar, and Yu Guixiang immediately ran to the village entrance upon hearing that.
Oh my, Dazhi must have too much luggage. This widow Wang is really something. She doesn’t even know how to help!
Fu Wan noticed the indescribable expression on Wang Xiuer's face and instantly smelled gossip.
She came over and grabbed Wang Xiuer, "Auntie, is Brother Dazhi really back?"
"Really? I saw it clearly. But he doesn't look like someone who has made a lot of money."
When the people who were about to leave heard this, several aunts pulled Wang Xiuer aside and asked her about Fu Dazhi's situation.
"Ah Qing's mother, did Dazhi really make a lot of money?"
"Well, is he like in the newspapers, wearing little leather shoes and combing his hair back?"
Wang Xiuer: ...
"It's hard to explain in a few words. Just go to the village entrance and you'll know!"
This was true, and everyone immediately ran to the village entrance.
Fu Wan and Qin An Ning followed behind. Before they reached the village entrance, they heard Yu Guixiang's ghostly howling sounds from afar.
"Dazhi, my son, you have suffered!"
"What have you been doing? Why are you in such a mess?"
