Qiu Hengde laughed out loud twice and clinked glasses with Fang Zhicheng. He tilted his head back and drank the eight-cent glass clean, showing an indescribable generosity.
Lele whispered, "Uncle, drink slowly. Uncle Xiaofang can drink more than you. If you drink too fast, you'll get drunk."
Qiu Hengde touched Lele's pigtails and asked with a smile, "Why can Uncle Xiaofang drink more than my uncle?"
Lele whispered: "Because Uncle Xiaofang is tall!"
"Oh, so tall people can drink more?" Qiu Hengde was amused by Lele's childish words. He picked a chicken leg and put it on Lele's plate.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was full of joy, which touched Fang Zhicheng because it felt like home.
After dinner, Qiu Hengde called Fang Zhicheng to the study.
There are many books in Qiu Hengde's study. At a glance, they cover various subjects with rich content. Judging from the appearance of the books, Qiu Hengde should read them frequently.
Qiu Hengde smiled and explained, "I have a quirk of collecting books. I started collecting the books here in 1985. Although I haven't read every one of them, I remember most of the contents. Xiaofang, do you like reading?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "I like to read it, but compared with Minister Qiu's reading volume, it is not worth mentioning..."
"Oh? Then what kind of books do you like?" Qiu Hengde asked with a smile. He was also testing Fang Zhicheng. One can get a glimpse of a person's familiarity from his daily reading habits.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I like to read some books on philosophy and psychology..."
Qiu Hengde frowned and asked with a smile: "Can you give an example?"
Fang Zhicheng said: "Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" and Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams"..."
Qiu Hengde smiled slightly, walked to the bookshelf, pointed with his fingers, found two books, handed them to Fang Zhicheng, and said: "These two books are precious versions I found in 1992 and 1995, and now I give them to you."
Fang Zhicheng saw that the cover of the book had a sense of history and quickly refused, saying, "I can't take such a precious book!"
Qiu Hengde waved his hand and said calmly, "Is there anything in the world that is more precious than life? I gave you these two books to express my gratitude for your help. If you don't accept them, wouldn't it seem that I am not grateful enough for life?"
Seeing Qiu Hengde's seriousness, Fang Zhicheng accepted the two books and said softly, "I will keep these two books well."
Qiu Hengde was actually expressing his gratitude by giving Fang Zhicheng the book. Fang Zhicheng could feel Qiu Hengde's kindness and was secretly glad that he had saved an upright person.
Afterwards, Qiu Hengde talked with Fang Zhicheng for a while and also revealed a message to Fang Zhicheng that he would invite Fang Zhicheng to some gatherings in the future. This kind of internal gathering is to share information and contacts. Qiu Hengde is cultivating Fang Zhicheng, which makes Fang Zhicheng feel excited.
Fang Zhicheng sat in Qiu's house for about half an hour. Seeing that it was already nine o'clock, he stood up and said goodbye. Lele was a little unhappy and whispered, "Uncle Fang, can you play with me for a while longer?"
Fang Zhicheng tapped Lele's forehead and said with a smile, "How about next time, Uncle Fang, I'll take you to the amusement park?"
"Okay!" Lele clapped his hands, "Don't lie, or you'll become Pinocchio!"
Fang Zhicheng stretched out his finger, made a pinky promise with Lele, and promised: "Uncle Fang, I will definitely keep my word!"
Qiu Hengde, Xie Fang, and Lele sent Fang Zhicheng downstairs together, and just then a beautiful young woman came over. Lele ran over excitedly and said with a smile: "Mom! You finally came to pick me up?"
Fang Zhicheng took a closer look at the young woman and was secretly shocked. This young woman was none other than Xie Yuxin, a famous news anchor in Yinzhou. Xie Yuxin was actually Qiu Hengde's sister-in-law
Xie Yuxin is the idol in the hearts of countless men in Yinzhou. Fang Zhicheng didn't expect to see her on the screen and couldn't help but be stunned.
Xie Yuxin was wearing a professional women's outfit, a tight pink shirt on the upper body and a knee-length black skirt on the lower body. She had a delicate and fair face, small and plump red lips, watery and bright eyes, and straight and slender legs, as if in a dream.
Fang Zhicheng started to like watching the news program of Yinzhou TV four years ago, not because he was interested in current affairs, but because he could see Xie Yuxin on the TV program. For a while, Fang Zhicheng frantically collected information about Xie Yuxin on the Internet, and found out that although Xie Yuxin looked beautiful, her love life was not going well.
Xie Yuxin had been silent for a while. For the sake of her marriage, she chose to quit the hosting industry and became a full-time housewife. However, that marriage was not happy. Xie Yuxin had a strong personality and chose to divorce, while raising her daughter alone.
Xie Yuxin returned to the screen, without hiding her identity as a single mother, and regained the support of the audience with her capable and refreshing hosting style. In short, Xie Yuxin is a goddess in the hearts of Yinzhou people.
Lele took Xie Yuxin's hand and introduced her, "Mom, this is Uncle Xiaofang. He promised me that he would take me to the amusement park this weekend."
"Oh?" Xie Yuxin looked Fang Zhicheng up and down, then tapped Lele's small nose and spat softly, "Lele, why are you bothering others so much?"
Lele lowered his head and said softly, "Mom, since you won't take me with you, I can only go with Uncle Xiaofang."
Fang Zhicheng came out of his brief trance and said with a smile: "Lele and I get along very well. If you don't mind, I can take Lele to the amusement park on the weekend."
Xie Yuxin and Fang Zhicheng met for the first time, so how could she trust him so easily? She looked at her sister and brother-in-law in confusion. Xie Fang pulled Xie Yuxin aside and whispered a few words to her. Then Xie Yuxin suddenly realized that this young man was her brother-in-law's lifesaver.

Xie Fang smiled and said, "Yuxin, you came just in time. Why don't you send Xiao Fang off?"
There was a red car parked not far away. Xie Yuxin was very busy at work and usually had no time to take care of her daughter. Most of the time, she would leave Lele with her sister Xie Fang, but occasionally she would pick Lele up and take her home after get off work.
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand quickly and said, "I'll just take a taxi back. No need to bother her."
Qiu Hengde nodded and ordered: "Let Yuxin take you back. She's on her way. Besides, Lele is so reluctant to leave you. You should play with her for a while longer."
Xie Yuxin also smiled and said, "Since my sister and brother-in-law have said so, you should let me take you back. Otherwise, it would seem that I am stingy."
Xie Yuxin is more friendly than expected. Fang Zhicheng actually wants to spend more time with Xie Yuxin. Xie Yuxin is a national idol. How happy would it be if he could have Xie Yuxin send him home
Seeing Xie Yuxin's sincerity, Fang Zhicheng picked up Lele and said, "Thank you."
Seeing Fang Zhicheng getting into Xie Yuxin's car, Xie Fang suddenly nudged Qiu Hengde with her elbow and asked softly, "What do you think of Xiao Fang?"
