Now things were different. When the old gentleman’s granddaughter came back, he was full of joy when talking to others, and he had the kind of spirit of deadwood come alive. Facing Professor Su’s jokes, the old gentleman laughed and said, “It’s indeed a happy event, but I can’t say it yet. Don’t worry, you will know it sooner or later.”
“But we want to know right now. How about, let me guess what the happy event is?” Grandma Qin kindly glanced at his grandson, who was chatting with them, and said slowly as if she had guessed something, ‘Is it that your grandson is getting married soon? Is he bringing back a wife for you?”
“Hahaha, no, no.” The old man laughed loudly and shook his head, “It’s not about my grandson. In short, it’s a happy event that makes me full of energy.”
The old gentleman didn’t say anything about it, which caused several old friends to ask what the happy event was when he was walking outside in the morning.
The people living in Dangui Garden were all the heroes who had made great contributions to the country and promoted the strength of our country. They knew more or less about Sir Fu’s life and were distressed about the ups and downs in his life, but at the same time, they admired his strength.
Seeing that his spirit had been up day after day, it was obvious that there must be a happy event in the family, but their inquiry was only exchanged with the old man’s mysterious smile. However, they all stopped asking after knowing that the happy event could not be revealed for now.
When the old gentleman returned, the butler saw him with his hands behind his back, walking leisurely, and even humming an opera, looking extremely joyful.
The butler felt glad seeing him like that.
It had been a long time since the Fu Family had such a festive event…, no, no, ever since he was sent over to look after Sir Fu, he had never seen any personal happy events in the family, only national events.
The Fu Family was extremely joyful now, especially with the return of the Fu Family’s granddaughter; it was like the biggest and happiest event in the family.
However, the old man’s grandson told him that this matter couldn’t be revealed yet. He even asked him to keep his mouth tight and to not let anyone know about it yet.
The butler ran up to the old man, smiled, and said, “You are in a good mood today. I will have to prepare extra dishes for you this afternoon, so you can eat more.”
The old man had been busy attending meetings at the Aerospace Academy these past few days, and he did not even return home at night, so he must not have slept or eaten well.
Now that he has finally recovered, he should take care of his health well.
“A big pot of stew; let’s have that later in the afternoon.” The old gentleman was in a good mood, and he felt that he would indeed eat a little more today. He was in good spirits, so his appetite would naturally heal, “Heat up the meal for my granddaughter, so she can have it hot when she wakes up.”
The butler smiled and nodded, “Sure thing, I’ll do my best. In the past, in the army, I used to cook in big pots of stew, and the soldiers in the northeast couldn’t stop eating it.”
The retired cooks from the old butler’s army were married and later divorced, leaving only one son.
Now the son got married and started a business early. He married a strong independent wife, who didn’t want to live with her father-in-law. The butler said, “You two live by yourself, and I will live by myself. I will leave the house for you two. Let’s not contact if there’s nothing important; I don’t owe you anything.” Later, he moved to Dangui Garden and had been taking care of the old man until now.
The old gentleman had eaten the butler’s meal for four years in the army. When he retired, the country wanted to arrange a housekeeper to take care of him, and he immediately made a request, “Let Chef Fu come back with me. I have eaten his food for four years. He’s a good cook.”
