Beloved

The old Patriarch's mouth was crooked to the back molars, "What? Isn't it a gift for me?! Son, you are not being kind! I haven't had a little beauty as a companion for many years."

Sheng Jie looked at the centenarian from behind Fu Shanlong's shoulder, and he still finds it incredible.Is there really someone in this world who is so lucky?Not to mention living for a long time, can you still be so sharp?

"Come on, little beauty! Brother will take you fishing." The old Patriarch asked Shengjie with a smile.

Fu Shansu blocked him again, "If you do this again, I will send you to a nursing home."

The main board of the hometown frowned, "Huh! I have a daughter-in-law and forget about my father! Don't play anymore, I'm already angry."

The old Patriarch squeezed Fu Shanlong and Sheng Jie away with unsteady steps, and walked into the house.

Sheng Jie tugged at Fu Shanlong's arm, "He's angry."

"Don't pay attention to him. He is a little confused due to old age, but it's not serious!" Fu Shanlong said.His eyes kept staring at his father's back, and he felt that he had shrunk a little more than last year.His father used to be about the same height as him, and when he was older... no matter how well he maintained himself when he was young, it still couldn't cover the consumption of time.

"Oh!" Sheng Jie nodded knowingly.

The two of them followed the old man into the big house, and the old man sat on the shiny rattan chair, dozing off leisurely.

"Let's eat!" Fu Shanlong brought the food sent by Uncle Zhu to the old Patriarch.

"Hmph! Don't eat!" The old Patriarch twisted his neck stiffly.

"What do you want?" Fu Shanlong sat on the chair in front of him, showing a slight compromise.

"I want a beauty!" The old Patriarch closed his eyes and acted like a rascal, "You already have little beauties, so I want one too."

"What's the use of you coming?" Fu Shanlong was angry, "You are almost 110 years old, can't you be quiet?"

"I'll be quiet when I die. I'm not dead now, so I need beauties. There are old men on this mountain, and I'm about to die of suffocation!" Fu Shanlong patted his forehead, "Then you tell Dr. Huang, he said it's okay , I’ll give it to you, it doesn’t matter how much you send.”

The old man laughed immediately, "Really? Then I'll talk about it now."

Saying that the wind is the rain, the old man kicked on his slippers and walked unsteadily towards the small medicine field in front.

"Is that okay?" Sheng Jie felt that the old man was more difficult to deal with than the little children. Brother Long of his family had no patience with children, but he was quite patient with the old man.

"Let him dream!" Fu Shanlong gritted his teeth, "Just wait, he will come back obediently in a while."

Sure enough, after a while, the old man drooped his head and came back sadly, "Huang Ergou doesn't agree." He complained to his son, "Why doesn't he agree, this is my home."

"Yes! Why?" Fu Shanlong echoed, "I think it's better to drive him away."

"Then how can it be?" The old man immediately changed his face again, "It's not possible."

"So, if you want a beauty, you don't have Dr. Huang, and if you want Dr. Huang, you don't have a beauty. You can figure it out!" Fu Shanlong spread his hands helplessly.

"...Or, Huang Ergou! He has been with me all his life..."

"Then eat! After eating, I wish you New Year's greetings." Fu Shanlong gave the rice spoon to the old man.

The old man never thought that this matter had anything to do with eating.When Fu Shanlong said "Happy New Year", he was happy, and picked up the spoon and shoveled the rice into his mouth.

After eating a large bowl, the old man took another look at Sheng Jie, and immediately nodded to Shan Long, "It's my kind...the vision is the same as your father's."

"I have better vision than you." Fu Shanlong put his arms around Sheng Jie, "You have been a playboy all your life, and you only settled down in your 80s. You don't even have anyone who truly loves you. Can you compare with me?"

The old man dropped the bowl and chopsticks, blew his beard and stared: "I knew you didn't come to pay New Year's greetings, but to anger me!"

Sheng Jie was dumbfounded, this...wasn't it fine just now, why suddenly turned his face again.

"Do you still want me and Xiaojie to pay New Year's greetings?" Fu Shanlong pretended to stand up, as long as the old man dared to say 'no', he would immediately take people away.

"Daughter-in-law!" The old man couldn't control his son.When Fu Shanlong was young, he was able to control it a little bit, but when he grew up, he was like a wild horse running wild, never looking back.

"Daughter-in-law, scold him for me, he doesn't respect his father." The old man was very good at reading people's faces, and asked Sheng Jie to support him.

Sheng Jie turned his eyes around the two, "Brother Long is right, he is doing it for your own good."

"Aren't you going to help me?!" The old man miscalculated.Didn't that old boy Huang Ergou say that his daughter-in-law will definitely speak for him in order to please her father-in-law.Why not? !

"I won't let you be my daughter-in-law! You won't be allowed to call me dad." The old man pointed at Sheng Jie and said proudly, as if it was rare for others to call him dad.

"Ah?" Sheng Jie was a little embarrassed, "I don't have the bad habit of calling other people's father."

The old man was dumbfounded.It's completely different from what Huang Ergou said, this is definitely not a well-behaved and sensible daughter-in-law.

"You...you don't look good! Eyes are like light bulbs, ears are like cattail fans, noses are like garlic heads, mouths are like spatulas..." When the old man was not satisfied, he directly attacked personally.

Fu Shanlong was so angry that the top of his head was smoking.I've been watching some messed up TV series recently, and how I speak has the sense of sight of a big-footed wife in the country.

"Oh...you! You are not very good. Just your head, if you don't look carefully, you might think it is a quail egg." Sheng Jie retorted not to be outdone.

Fu Shanlong took a closer look at his father's bald head, plus the age spots on it, it's... quite vivid.

The old man was frightened. "T-really?"

Fu Shanlong lowered his eyes unfathomably.

"Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu—mirror, bring me the mirror!"

Uncle Zhu hid in the medicine field and planted herbs with Dr. Huang at home, turning a deaf ear to the call of the old master.

Every time the young master comes back, the old master always has to play a little temper.At this time, you must not move forward, as it is easy to be implicated.

"Don't look in the mirror! In fact, you are still a handsome old man." Sheng Jie boasted casually, which made the old man who was particularly concerned about his appearance feel at ease. He grinned and smoothed his beard, "Really Did you drop?"

Sheng Jie also imitated Fu Shanlong and nodded inscrutably.

The old man grinned apologetically, "Actually, you're pretty good-looking. Come...call Dad to come and listen."

Sheng Jie glanced at Fu Shanlong, and Fu Shanlong patted Shengjie's hand extended by the old man, "If you keep messing around, I'll really leave."

Feeling bored, the old man lowered his head, "That's why I have never wanted a child. I have persisted for 80 years, but I never thought I would give birth to something like you."

Fu Shanlong stood up and pulled Sheng Jie away.

The old man covered his heart especially for the occasion, "Ouch... My heart hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Fu Shanlong had no choice but to turn back and call for someone, lest his old father really disappear all at once.

Dr. Huang and Uncle Zhu came in this time. Dr. Huang is an old man in his sixties or seventies. It's half black and half gray, and it looks quite trendy. Generally speaking, it's a handsome old man.

After being forcibly fed a medicine by Dr. Huang, the old man was considered out of danger.Now he didn't dare to do it anymore, and Fu Shanlong became more submissive.

"Let's have dinner here! The vegetables I just picked today are all planted by the old man himself. I said I'm waiting for you to eat." Zhu Bo smoothed things over from the sidelines.

Fu Shanlong tugged Sheng Jie, and when Sheng Jie saw him kneeling down, he knelt down too, and the two of them kowtowed to the old man together. "Dad! I brought Xiaojie to wish you a happy new year."

The old man obeyed his heart, and his head was much clearer than before. He looked at Fu Shanlong and Sheng Jie and nodded.

"Little Jie!" Fu Shanlong touched Sheng Jie, "Call someone."

"Father!" Sheng Jiete cleverly understood Fu Shanlong's meaning, and called out affectionately.

The old man smiled from ear to ear this time, "Heirloom, family heirloom... Where is my family heirloom? Bring it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present rolled their eyes at the ceiling above their heads.

Uncle Zhu handed a piece of wood to the old man.The old man took Sheng Jie's hand and stuffed the wood to him, "This is a family heirloom passed down from our family to our daughter-in-law... Keep it well and pass it on!"

Sheng Jie looked down at the thing, it was a palm-sized star sawn from wood, with sawdust on it.He agreed, and obediently put the wooden star into his pocket.

This move of his made Uncle Zhu and Dr. Huang look at him more.The smile in the old man's eyes was much deeper than before.

Fu Shanlong sent the old man to the bedroom to rest, while Sheng Jie sat alone in the living room for the time being.

With no one else around, Fu Shanlong glanced at his father, "You've made full use of this geriatric disease now, and it's amazing! Do you pretend to be confused when you're not confused?"

"My daughter-in-law, I have to try to tell if it suits me!" The old man's tone of speech at this moment is completely different from that outside before.

"It's up to me to decide whether it suits me or not."

"Our family hasn't been a mistress for several generations, and you suddenly bring one. I have to take care of the old ancestors. Don't bring back something dubious. It will ruin my family style." The old head's words were also full of domineering .

"Then what do you think?" Fu Shanlong asked.

"It's okay. Not obedient and arrogant, smart and know how to fight back, you will accept it when you see it, and accept a family heirloom like mine, without blinking your eyes... you are qualified."

"I'll take what you said earlier as a compliment, but whether you are qualified or not... It's really up to you." Fu Shanlong sneered, "Even if he has no qualifications at all, he will still be the partner of this generation of patriarchs. Now... I'm in charge."

"It's up to you!" The old patriarch said he didn't care about it, "as long as you can keep him among those wolves and tigers. But there is one thing you must promise me. It doesn't matter whether you are a surrogate or looking for a woman , before I close my eyes, I have to see the continuation of my bloodline. I have to see an heir with your bloodline."

"Father! You gave birth to me as a surrogate in your [-]s. Then why didn't you continue the blood of your family in the past few decades?" Although Fu Shanlong probably knew a little bit of the secret here, he still wanted to ask.

"No matter how good you are to other people's children, you will raise him as an heir... Unless you kill the entire family behind him, otherwise, the Fu family will eventually change hands." The old head of the family said this with a deep expression on his face. It's scary, "I thought I could break the family rules and resolve this situation peacefully. I didn't expect... For decades, I just kept it on the bright side. I don't want to have civil strife in the family after my death... only to put You brought into this world."
