dream soul return

Since Fu Chen came back from Wen's house that day, Fu Mu's health has been deteriorating, and in the end, she couldn't even get out of bed.

Seeing this, Fu Yizhi was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night, and spent most of his time seeking medical advice.When he was desperate, he even invited the sorceress whom he despises the most on weekdays.

Fu Chen is sensitive and precocious.Although his parents didn't say it clearly, he already guessed that something serious might happen to his family.

Sure enough, before the New Year, the Fu mother passed away in the snowy November.

Fu's mother's illness had already exhausted the little savings that the family had accumulated with great difficulty. Fu Yizhi squeezed his money tighter and tighter, and barely managed to make a thin wooden coffin.It was still unwanted by others, and the paint was not even finished.Even such a shelter is the best that Fu Yizhi can give.

In the end, Wen's family couldn't see it and gave them a new pair.

After arranging the funeral of Fu Yizhi, Fu Yizhi became even more reticent.Whenever he was free, he would stare at the spiritual seat of the mother of symbols in the lobby.More occasionally, he would look at Fu Chen.And whenever Fu Yizhi looked at Fu Chen, he would be afraid.

He was afraid of his father's gaze.Lifeless, lifeless.

In order to deal with funeral affairs, the Fu family owed a lot of money.In order to pay back the money as soon as possible, Fu Yizhi had to work outside all day.Fu Chen also knew the difficulties at home, so he was very sensible.He was small, so he stood on the stool to cook. The food he made was not delicious, but it was enough to fill his stomach.In order to save money, he often makes big steamed buns.Fu Yizhi went out with the steamed buns in his pocket before dawn, and he also went out afterward, picking up trash with other unwanted children in the town.

Although the days are bitter, there is also hope.Just when Fu Chen thought life would go on like this, God made another joke.

That day he was sitting in front of his house, counting the money he earned from selling garbage, and waiting for Fu Yizhi—this was a habit he had developed recently.

When Fu Yizhi's figure appeared in his sight, Fu Chen stood up.But when Fu Yizhi approached, he sensitively sensed something was wrong.

He just yelled "Dad—" before he finished speaking, he was hugged by Fu Yizhi.

Fu Chen hugged Fu Yizhi's neck at a loss, not knowing where he was going to be taken.But Fu Yizhi didn't seem to have a destination, but his eyes were scattered, and he wandered around the city aimlessly.From the south of the city to the north of the city, and then from the east of the city to the west of the city.There are very few pedestrians on the road, and they have all gone home.Only goose feathers and heavy snow fell one after another, covering the father and son in the snow.

From dusk to dark, the bright moonlight elongated Fu Yizhi's figure.

In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, Fu Chen was young, and after wandering outside for so long, he couldn't hold it anymore and sneezed.The voice finally brought back Fu Yizhi's sanity.He stared straight at Fu Chen, as if he had never seen this child before.

Fu Chen began to feel scared, and asked tentatively, "Father?"

Fu Yizhi didn't speak, he hugged Fu Chen into his arms, hugged him even tighter, and stepped out again.

This time he had a destination - Wen's family.

The butler opened the door, and when he saw it was his father and son, he let out a "huh" in surprise.

Fu Yizhi pleaded: "I want to meet Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen."

The steward asked them to wait, and casually called a servant to report.Seeing that Fu Chen was shaking from the cold, he took off his coat and covered him.

After a while the servant came back and said that they were allowed to go in.Fu Yizhi thanked the servant and followed the butler into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, before Master Wen and Mrs. Wen could react, Fu Yizhi had already hugged Fu Chen and knelt down.

Master Wen and Mrs. Wen paled in shock, they stood up quickly and wanted to help him.Fu Yizhi still knelt there, motionless like a mountain.

"Brother Fu, what do you mean?" Mrs. Wen stomped her feet anxiously.

Fu Yizhi put Fu Chen down, motioning for him to follow suit.Fu Chen didn't know what happened, his mind went blank, and he knelt down subconsciously.

"Master, I will remember the matter of my wife for five years, and there is no way to repay it. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely be married. It's just that the only thing I can't let go is this child. I just hope that the two of you can keep this child and do it in the mansion. I will have no regrets if I am a poor servant."

Fu Chen sensitively anticipated something, and regardless of the presence of Master Wen and Mrs. Wen, he threw himself into Fu Yi's arms: "No, Daddy——I don't want to be separated from you! Don't!" Since his mother passed away, this was his first Cry once.He cried heart-rendingly, as if he was going to shed tears for a lifetime.

Fu Yizhi's eyes were also slightly moist, but he didn't pick up Fu Chen, but looked at Master Wen and Mrs. Wen, and said word by word: "Master and Madam, please accept this child." He has nowhere to go, except Wen I don't know where to put this child.

Madam Wen said with sorrow on her face, "Brother Fu, don't worry. From today on, this is our child."

Hearing this, Fu Yizhi relaxed, "I'll send this child over tomorrow."

"Don't - don't -" Fu Chen howled even more fiercely, "I don't want to come here - I want to go home -"

Master Wen said: "As a parent, how can you bear to be separated from your children. Brother Fu, I am also a father. If you don't, you can live here with your children."

Fu Yizhi shook his head.Apart from not wanting to hurt the Wen family, he also couldn't let go of his wife.

Master Wen couldn't stop persuading him, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Yongfu!"

A simple and honest boy walked in: "Master."

Master Wen said: "You will call Li Ma later, and go to his house with Mr. Fu to take care of him."

Fu Yizhi was flattered and hurriedly said: "How can this be done?"

"There's nothing you can't do." Master Wen looked at him, "Let the child stay with you."

Fu Yizhi and Fu Chen were still the only ones on the way back, Yongfu and Li Ma would come over tomorrow.Fu Chen had calmed down a lot, but his eyes were still red, and he sobbed softly while hiding in Fu Yi's arms.Fu Yizhi held the lantern sent by Wen's family in his hand, and walked on the way home like a walking corpse.

When he got home, Fu Yizhi moved two small benches in front of Fu Mu's spiritual seat, and sat down with Fu Chen.

"Little Chen, your mother and I are both from the north..." Fu Yizhi said, with nostalgia in his eyes.

Fu Chen looked at Fu Yizhi suspiciously, it was the first time he heard about his parents' past.

"Your mother is a young lady from a family of eunuchs. Her father worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even took her to learn a lot of new trends. At that time, her father was going abroad, and he took her there. I found a foreign language teacher, and that’s me.”

"At that time, I taught her the British language, and as time passed, we fell in love with each other. Before she went abroad, I swore to her that when she came back, I would definitely make a fortune and marry her. But it's not so easy...I just She can read, but has no connections, and when she comes back, she is still an unknown person."

"I'm useless, but she didn't want to leave, so she dragged me out of the capital." They eloped to Yangcheng, thinking that here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and they can live their lives incognito.But they didn't expect that a business acquaintance in the capital would come here and publicize their affairs.Fu Yizhi lost his teaching job, and no one is willing to hire Fu Mu to cut clothes.Days are getting harder day by day, not only financial constraints, but also bad words from passers-by.

But at that time, they still had each other.

Fu Yizhi stretched out his hand, stroked the name of the mother symbol on the spirit tablet, and said softly: "I'm useless..."

Fu Chen could no longer listen to it, and stretched out his arms to hug Fu Yizhi: "Daddy, I will work hard to grow up. I will look like you and become a man who stands upright."

Fu Yizhi held his hand and said with a wry smile: "Don't be like me. Xiao Chen, don't be like me. Your father is the most useless man in the world, even your mother can't protect him."

"No," Fu Chen shook his head with tears in his eyes, "No, Daddy is an indomitable man."

Fu Yizhi shook his head lightly, staring at the spirit tablet in a daze.

The first day of the Lunar New Year passed, but Fu Yizhi didn't make it to the fifteenth day.When he left, Fu Chen was sitting beside him, his tender little palm resting lightly on his.

"Good boy," Li Ma couldn't bear it, and hugged him, "Let's go back to Wen's house."

Fu Chen didn't cry, but was numb: "I want to be with Daddy."

Naturally, Yongfu and Li Ma took care of the funeral, and the Wen family also sent a few more people there.Fu Chen was young, but insisted on running up and down with them.He didn't return to Wen's house until the first seven days had passed.

Mrs. Wen and Master Wen brought Wen Yu to wait at the door early in the morning.When Fu Chen saw them, without saying a word, he stepped forward and kowtowed loudly three times.

Wen Yu was taken aback, and stepped forward to pull him: "Brother Yan..."

Others have little strength and strength, so naturally they can't pull Fu Chen who grew up doing rough work.Fu Chen looked at him, and suddenly said: "Master."

Wen Yu froze on the spot, turned around to look at Master Wen and Mrs. Wen in a daze.Master Wen and Mrs. Wen were also terrified by Fu Chen's actions, and went to help him after recovering: "I promised your father, from today on you will be our child and the young master of the Wen family."

Fu Chen pursed his lips, still said: "Master, madam."

Mrs. Wen glanced at Master Wen in embarrassment, and Master Wen immediately said: "A gentleman is hard to chase after a word. If you say you are the young master of the Wen family, you are the young master of the Wen family. Wen Fu, go clean up the room for the young master. , just pack it next to Xiao Yu. Ask a few servants to follow and serve, just like Xiao Yu's."

Hearing this, the butler's expression turned ugly, but he didn't dare to refute.Reluctantly, he said: "I'll give the order."

Fu Chen pursed his lips and said nothing.

He has a stubborn temper and doesn't repent of what he decides.During dinner, Mrs. Wen couldn't find him anywhere, and finally the housekeeper told Mrs. Wen that Fu Chen was having dinner with the servants.

"Ma'am, don't you think he looks like a young master. He was born to be a servant. If you insist on making him a young master, I think it's a danger to raise tigers." His family has worked in the Wenfu for generations. When he came to him, his heirs were hard-working, and he never had children. .He not only regards Wen Yu as his master, but also as his own child.Now that an outsider came to grab something from his own child, he was naturally dissatisfied.

Mrs. Wen glared at him: "This is not allowed to be mentioned in front of the children!"

The housekeeper closed his mouth reluctantly.

Fu Chen was unexpectedly stubborn, Mrs. Wen couldn't persuade him, so she had to go with him.He just asked his servants not to let Wen Yu go up and down his table next time.

After eating, Fu Chen went back to his room to wash up.He also wanted to live with his servants, but Mrs. Wen said that he lived close to Wen Yu and could take care of him nearby.Fu Chen thought about it and agreed.

Wen's bed is much softer than Fu Chen's own, but Fu Chen has trouble falling asleep with his eyes open.He stared at the tassels on the window curtain, but suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

Fu Chen was startled, and got up to watch, but was hugged full.

"Brother Yan." It was Wen Yu.

"Master."

Hearing this title, Wen Yu frowned: "Don't call me Young Master, I don't like it. Brother Ayan, can you call me Aliu?"

Fu Chen hesitated: "Aliu."

Wen Yu laughed immediately, and opened his hands: "Brother Yan, can you lift me up?" Fu Chen slept on a higher bed than Wen Yu's, and Wen Yu couldn't get up by himself.

Fu Chen hugged Wen Yu to bed, covered him with a quilt, and wanted to coax him to sleep.

Wen Yu suddenly said: "Brother Yan, I heard from my parents that your family is gone."

Fu Chen froze and said after a long time, "Yes."

Wen Yu saw that he was sad, but didn't know how to comfort him, and grabbed his hand clumsily: "Brother Ayan, can I be your family member from now on? This way you will have a family again." He tried his best to approach He wants to comfort him.

In the cold wind, only the temperature in my arms is particularly real.Fu Chen lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Okay."

Wen Yu smiled sweetly: "It's a deal, brother Ayan."
