2612 Good News

Now, things were different. His granddaughter was back. The old man was happy when he spoke to other people. It was like a withered tree had come back to life.

In the face of the elderly couple’s teasing, the old man smiled and said, “It’s indeed a happy occasion. However, I can’t say anything yet. You’ll find out sooner or later.”

“But we want to know now. Why don’t I guess what the happy occasion is?” Grandma Qin looked at her grandson who was chatting with them kindly. As if she had guessed something, she said slowly, “Does it have to do with your eldest grandson? Is he going to marry a good woman?”

“Hahaha, no, no.” The old man laughed heartily and shook his head. “It’s not about my grandson. In short, it’s a joyous occasion that makes me energetic.”

!!

Why didn’t the old man say anything? He caused many old friends to ask him what the good news was.

The people living in Dan Gui Garden were all heroes who had made huge contributions to the country and pushed the country’s strength forward. They more or less knew a little about Old Master Fu’s matters. They felt sorry for Old Master Fu’s life and respected him for being strong all his life.

They saw that he was getting more and more energetic. It was obvious that there was a happy occasion in the family. However, no matter how they asked, they only received a mysterious smile from the old man. They knew that this happy occasion couldn’t be revealed temporarily, so they didn’t ask further.

When the old man came back from his stroll, the butler saw the old man walking leisurely with his hands behind his back. He was even humming a tune. He was extremely happy.

The butler was happy to see this.

It had been a long time since the Fu family had such a joyous occasion… No, that wasn’t right. Ever since he came here to take care of Old Master Fu, he had seen the Fu family having personal happy events. Some of them were national happy events.

The Fu family was bright now with the return of the old man’s granddaughter. The heavens had blessed her.

However, the old man’s grandson had reminded him not to reveal this matter. The announcement would have to wait. He had to keep his mouth shut and not mention it to anyone.

He walked up the stairs with the old man. The butler smiled and said, “You’re in a good mood today. I have to prepare a few more dishes for you in the afternoon so that you can eat more.”

For the past few days, the old man had been having meetings at the aviation inst.i.tute and didn’t go home at night. He probably hadn’t been sleeping well or eating well.

Now that he had finally regained his health, they couldn’t let anything happen again.

“Let’s have stew for lunch.” The old man, who was in a good mood, felt that he would eat more for lunch today. He felt energetic, so his appet.i.te naturally improved. “Keep it warm for my granddaughter. When she wakes up, she can have something warm to eat.”

The butler nodded with a smile. “That’s good. I’m the best at cooking that. Back then in the military unit, I always made stews, and the soldiers in the northeast couldn’t stop eating.”

He was a retired cook in the Guan family’s old military unit. He got married and then divorced. He had a son.

Now, his son had already started a family and a career. The wife he married was a domineering person. She didn’t want to live with her father-in-law. When the butler heard this, he immediately said, “The two of you can live your own lives. I’ll live my own life. I’ll leave the house to you too. Don’t contact me anymore after this. Remember, I don’t owe you anything.” After that, he moved to Dan Gui Garden and took care of the old man until now.

In the past, the old man had eaten the food of the Guan family for four years in the military unit. After he retired, the country wanted to arrange for a caretaker to take care of him. The old man didn’t think much and said, “Then let Fu Dazhu take up the role. I ate his food for four years. It isn’t bad.”
