Chapter 877 Bottomless Pit
Chapter 877 Bottomless Pit
Mother Chen knew that all good things must come to an end, and she finally convinced herself.
I feel enough warmth from this family, but I can't always rely on others. After all, my life is my own, and I still need to be strong and move forward.
Thinking of this, Chen's mother felt much better.
Mother Chen picked up the tea and stood up.
Seeing this, Chen Ting also stood up.
Everyone looked towards them.
Mother Chen said to Fu Ling with a smile on her face, "Lingling, thank you for everything you have done for Tingting and me. If you hadn't appeared, perhaps our family would have been completely destroyed. I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine. May you be safe and happy."
"Aunt, you've already thanked me before." Fu Ling stood up and picked up the teacup.
"A few words of thanks are not enough to repay you for everything you have done for us, but I can't repay you now, so I can only take good care of this house for you."
"Well, I feel at ease leaving the house to Auntie."
They both drank it in one gulp.
Chen Ting also imitated her mother and raised her teacup to Fu Ling: "Sister Ling, I will study hard and come to see you after graduation."
Fu Ling nodded happily, refilled the cup with tea and picked it up: "Okay, then I'll wait."
After finishing the tea in the cup, Fu Ling continued to say to Chen Ting, "You can browse the books in the study at will. There are also various notes I made there, which should be useful to you. If there is anything you don't understand, you can write to me."
Chen Ting nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Ling, I will remember it."
The next morning at 4 a.m., Chen's mother got up early to knead the dough, planning to make buns this morning.
The filling was prepared last night, and I was worried that it would go bad, so I kept it in a cool place.
In this era, refrigerators are a luxury and few families can afford them.
They are also worried that the food will go bad, so most people cook only as much as they can eat. Even if they cook less, they have to make do with it because they are worried that the remaining food will go bad due to the hot weather.
When Chen's mother took it out, she smelled it and fortunately it was not rotten. If it was rotten, she would have to temporarily replace the fillings.
After the buns were steamed, everyone got up one after another.
Su Tianchun was attracted by the aroma and got out of bed: "What a delicious meat bun."
"I made a lot, you can eat as much as you want." Chen's mother said with a smile.
"Great, I won't be polite then." He couldn't wait to pick one up and eat it.
The meaty aroma when you bite into it is enough to prove that the filling is generous.
"Is it delicious?" Chen's mother asked expectantly.
"So delicious! I feel like I could eat 10 of them."
"Haha, as long as you can eat it, eat as much as you want."
After everyone finished eating, Fu Ling still hadn't gotten up. Fu's mother shook her head and stood up: "I'll go wake Ling Ling up. If I don't wake her, she might not get up until sometime."
Fu Ling knew someone would wake her up, so she didn't even bother with the alarm clock. She just slept as long as she could. She was sound asleep when someone knocked on her door. "Lingling, hurry up and get up. Everyone is waiting for you."
Feeling a little noisy outside, Fu Ling habitually pulled up the quilt to cover his head.
Seeing no response from inside for a long time, Fu Ma knocked harder, "Fu Ling! Hurry up and get up. If you don't get up soon, you'll miss your flight."
She slowly woke up and pulled back the quilt covering her head. When she realized who was at the door, Fu Ling quickly replied, "Wake up, wake up! I'll get up right away."
"Why are you so worrying? You knew we had to rush today, but why didn't you go to bed early? If no one called you, wouldn't you have overslept?"
Not wanting to be nagged so early in the morning, Fu Ling quickly admitted his mistake: "Mom, I was wrong. I forgot to check the time while doing homework last night."
No matter what the reason is for staying in bed, this is the best reason.
As expected, when Fu's mother learned that her daughter stayed up late because of studying, her expression immediately changed and her tone became much kinder: "Studying is a good thing, but you also have to manage your time well. Okay, get up first, and then catch up on some sleep on the plane."
Having escaped a disaster, Fu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I know, Mom. I'll get up now."
"Well, don't fall asleep again." Then he left.
Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Fu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting away with it.
She shook her head and struggled to get up from the bed. She felt like she had a disease that made her not want to get up.
After washing and changing clothes, I came down from upstairs.
"Morning everyone!"
"Mom! Good morning."
"Good morning, Yueyue, have you had breakfast?"
Yueyue nodded: "Mom, we are all done eating. I had two buns and a bowl of porridge."
"Wow, that's a lot! That's awesome!"
"Come and eat quickly. Your aunt has served the porridge for you." Aunt Fu urged.
"Mom, I'll be right there." After telling Yueyue to go play with her brothers, Fu Ling hurried to the restaurant to have breakfast.
At this moment, only the Fairy in the Painting was still fighting alone at the table, and Fu Ling immediately joined him.
"Grandpa Hua, did you just get up too?"
Passing by, Mrs. Fu rudely retorted, "Do you think everyone is like you? It took a long time to wake him up, but Mr. Hua was already up."
Uh, why do I feel like my mother has a deep resentment towards her?
It’s just staying in bed, no big deal.
"Grandpa Hua, why are you eating now?" Fu Ling asked while eating.
"Since the weather was nice, I went out for a walk and just came back."
The two were close to each other, and Fu Ling could clearly smell the aroma of sesame cakes, roast duck, wontons, etc. They went out for a snack early in the morning.
She saw through it but didn't say anything, and kept signaling him to eat more.
"Lingling! There are still a lot of buns left. I'll pack them up for you to eat on the plane." Chen's mother made a lot of them on purpose so that even if she was hungry, she could fill her stomach on the plane.
"No need, Auntie. The buns won't taste good if they get cold. You can save them for lunch with Tingting. We can just have some pastries on the way."
"But there's a lot left. If we don't finish it, it'll go bad."
"It's okay. Grandpa Hua has a good appetite. Eating ten or eight more should be no problem."
Mother Chen: “…”
She saw it clearly. The old man had already eaten more than a dozen buns. Was he sure he could still eat more? He mustn't let anything bad happen to him.
Although the fairy in the painting eats a lot, she doesn't look bloated. Her stomach is like a bottomless pit.
Fu Ling didn't care how surprised his family was, as he just wanted them to be given something and eat it.
Chen's mother would come out from time to time to check, and when she saw that the buns on the plate were gone, she would plan to refill them.
The Fairy in the Painting waved his hand and said, "That's enough. I can't eat any more."
"Old man, you have such a good appetite. No wonder you look so healthy. It really is a blessing to be able to eat." There was no sarcasm in Chen's mother's words.
He is the biggest eater he has ever seen, no doubt about it.
Even among young people, no one can eat as much as he does.
The things had been packed up, and Fu Ling and Hua Zhongxian were ready to set off soon after they finished eating.
Chen's mother and Chen Ting sent Fu Ling and others out the door.
