This is the whole game of chess, the first time that old man Fang has "checked".
The two pawns crossing the river are still embedded outside the rice characters, which is particularly eye-catching. Ling and Xiao stood there watching for a while, turned and left without saying a word.
The door closed and the man fell.
Old man Fang was carried in. Doctors and nurses rushed in. Various instruments and tubes were inserted all over the body again.
After closing the door, the hunched figure finally couldn't help but bend over and spit blood on the edge of the bed to let Xu Tingsheng know that as a father, old man Fang didn't really kill and kill his whole life, he was so ruthless that he wouldn't feel heartbroken, but he really had powerless.
"You bastards don't live up to it. My buttocks are not clean. What Ling and Xiao have in their hands are all based on real evidence, at most they are used a little harder. The second child may be better, and the remaining two may not be able to get out. "
For the first time in days, the old man looked so bleak.
"In Hebei in 1978, someone gave me a fortune-telling, saying that I would have no children to die in my life. I kicked his stall and said he was farting. I don't know if he is still here... Logically, I should apologize to people."
Xu Tingsheng didn't answer the words, walked closer, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth for him, and said softly, "Wait until you have the strength to speak again. I'll call someone in... Fang Cheng, or Yu Qing?"
The old man opened his eyes and said, "Yu Qing, no, Fang Cheng."
Xu Tingsheng nodded and walked out.
The old man said behind him: "Wait a minute. I thought about it, you should talk about it first, and ask what you want to ask first. When you come back in a few days, I should still be there, but I may not be able to speak."
Xu Tingsheng stopped.
"Then I want to ask you a question, don't be mad at you," Xu Tingsheng said cautiously, "I think they are both smarter than you, why is your position higher all the way? And they can't even play chess you."
The old man seemed to smile, "Let me tell you about that year."
…
Xu Tingsheng came out from the ward, and unexpectedly found that Ling Xiao, who had already left earlier, was also there.
Seeing Xu Tingsheng appearing, she stood up from her chair and said calmly, "Let me tell you at home, when you think it's appropriate, you are welcome to sit down."
Xu Tingsheng nodded to her with a smile, and replied, "I will definitely pay a visit sometime."
"Then you should contact me first." Ling Xiao left a business card and left the ward.
Xu Tingsheng put his business card in his pocket, found Fang Cheng and said a few words. Fang Cheng went to the inner room. Xu Tingsheng turned around and found that in the entire outside room, everyone was looking at him, and some of them had unkind eyes.
"Don't worry, the old man is fine." Xu Tingsheng thought they were worried, so he comforted him.
A little girl about fourteen or fifteen years old stood up, walked in front of him, and spat, "Bah! Traitor. A bitch who bows to the enemy. A local pervert who can't walk when he sees a woman."
This swear word is a bit dirty, presumably she saw it on TV, or in fact, it was someone else who said it just now, but she scolded it out.
Xu Tingsheng and Ling Xiao came in together before, and afterward they acted like they were no strangers. Now plus the fact that Ling Xiao waited on purpose and invited him to be a guest at home... Those people from the Fang family who were present couldn't see it, but it was actually normal.
"What's your name?" Xu Tingsheng smiled and asked the youngest member of the three generations of the Fang family in front of him.
The little girl looked at him stubbornly, made a disdainful expression and said, "Bah, tell you my name? How disgusting?!"
Seeing this, Fang Yuqing got up and walked to Xu Tingsheng's side, and said on his behalf, "This is from my second uncle's family, my little cousin. She and my cousin are the most interesting names in my family. My cousin's name is Fang Ruju. Call Fang Ruli."
The little girl glared at Fang Yuqing angrily, blaming him for telling Xu Tingsheng her name. He looks like he is usually spoiled and doesn't have any rules for anyone.
One of the women present stood up and walked a few steps between Xu Tingsheng and Fang Ruli. He looked at his palm and then at Xu Tingsheng, looking a bit distressed and embarrassed.
According to old master Fang's rules, whoever from the three generations of the Fang family was rude to Xu Tingsheng, offended, and slapped him in the face. Fang Zhong had endured it before. At that time, it was the youngest of the Fang family, Fang Yuqing's father...he had already gone in now.
The woman gritted her teeth and raised her hand at the little girl.
Xu Tingsheng was so frightened that he quickly grabbed her wrist. Although he knew the other party's previous glance, the slow motion of raising his hand now was to wait for himself to stop it. Xu Tingsheng still tried his best to cooperate.
"This is my second aunt. Ruli's mother." Fang Yuqing introduced.
"Auntie, please don't. Ruli is still a child. A girl's face will lose her dignity after being hit." Xu Tingsheng persuaded.
The second daughter-in-law of the Fang family followed his words and put down her hand.
But the little girl was relentless, and scolded with tears in her eyes: "A dirt dog. You don't need to pretend to be a good person."
Xu Tingsheng gave a helpless wry smile, took his leave and left the ward.
He took Fang Yuqing's car keys and went downstairs to find the car. Fang Ruli somehow ran out, lying on the railing on the second floor, covered his face and scolded: "Soil dog, traitor, you will harm our family... Don't come here again, I will scold you once you come, and I will scold you if you are beaten .”
Apparently she was still beaten. But she didn't know whether it was Fang Zhong or Fang Ying who instilled in her the notion that Xu Tingsheng had harmed the Fang family.
The little girl seemed to be quite tongue-in-cheek, and she didn't stop cursing. And from the looks of it, she wasn't lying when she said that she would scold her every time she saw her in the future. Xu Tingsheng raised his head helplessly and asked, "Are you fourteen?"
"It's none of your business, dirt dog."
Xu Tingsheng smiled and said seriously: "Then do you know that I have a girlfriend who is only a little older than you. I just recalled that when I started chasing her, she seemed to be fourteen years old. What do I mean, do you understand? I am..."
The fear in Fang Ruli's eyes gradually grew stronger... Meeting a pervert is more terrifying than being beaten.
"I think you look good, too. A little underdeveloped, but it doesn't matter..."
Xu Tingsheng didn't finish his sentence, Fang Ruli, who was beaten and scolded, ran away.
…
It was already evening when I drove back to my home in Yanzhou. Xu Tingsheng hurriedly opened the door. The room was full of smoke, as if it had just been bombed.
His girlfriend, whom he started chasing at the age of fourteen, seventeen-year-old Miss Xiang Ning, came out of the kitchen, wiped the tears from her face covered in smoke and said, "I want to cook for you...but I don't know what happened, so I just That's it."
Xu Tingsheng pushed him down on the sofa and rushed into the kitchen to clean up the scene.
Turning around and coming out, he asked with a wry smile, "Why did you suddenly think of cooking for me?"
Xiang Ning's face was darkened several times, and she said seriously: "Mom said, you have encountered difficulties recently. You have a lot of things to do, and you may be tired and annoying. Let me be more sensible and learn to take care of others. I can't be like a child forever. "
Xu Tingsheng leaned over and kissed Miss Xiang on the forehead, "Thank you, you are so kind."
He twisted the towel and carefully wiped off the black marks on her face and hands. At dinner, Xu Tingsheng imitated the posture of a gourmet tasting a dish, and seriously ate a plate of charcoal that might have been eggplant, and summed up his praise: "Your dish, among all those who cook for the first time, should be the pinnacle. As expected of a restaurant at home.”
Miss Xiang understood, and chased him from the living room to the room, to the balcony, and back again.
On the sofa in the living room, Uncle Bear was lying shamelessly, with his head resting on the beautiful lap of Miss Honey who was sitting upright, very comfortable. The two talked for a while, and Xu Tingsheng explained some things without explicitly stating them.
Ms. Xiang obediently agreed one by one, followed by stroking the uncle's somewhat haggard face with her palm, put her legs together to make his pillow more comfortable, and asked him, "How do you feel lying down like this?"
"It feels like the whole world is better."
"Heck. When it's time for my college entrance examination, will you accompany me and wait for me outside the examination room?"
"meeting."
"I knew you would."
"Why?"
"Because, after the exam... Don't tell me, you know it yourself."
Xu Tingsheng thought for a while and said, "What do you mean, after the exam, I'll carry it home and then..."
Miss Xiang grabbed his face, "Smelly rascal, stinky rascal..."
"By the way, there's something I'm going to show you. I almost forgot." Xu Tingsheng got up and went to the study to take out a stack of blueprints and renderings. After sorting them out, he handed the renderings to Xiang Ning and said, "The house is about to start. Decoration, what do you think of this effect?"
The decoration design drawings and renderings were all made by Xu Tingsheng, but the idea itself was provided by him.
The wood-colored style almost copied the design and furnishings of a model room in Muji a few years later... That's the level of his appreciation.
Xiang Ning looked at a few renderings and excitedly expressed her liking.
Xu Tingsheng actually knew that she would like it. In the previous life, I once thought that we would definitely be able to go through the stage of a lifetime together. The two of us had discussed and studied this issue in a very specific way. This is what Ms. Xiang personally selected, the way they like their home in the future.
The family that owed her a lifetime is finally about to come true.
"But..." Xiang Ning said.
"But what?"
"fine."
"Say it."
"They said that Ningyuan didn't have a real estate certificate, so they couldn't hand in the house. They also said that they could see it on the roof a few days ago. Someone was sitting at the door of Ningyuan, afraid that you would run away..."
What Xiang Ning said is the truth. Recently, because of more and more rumors, the sales office of Ningyuan has indeed been blocked.
Without further explanation, Xu Tingsheng glanced at the time, and then made a suggestion to let Xiang Ning go out for a walk with him.
It was already dark when they went out, and the two of them were walking hand in hand on the road to Hedong. The further you go, the more pedestrians and vehicles on the road. When the two of them walked to the Yanshui bridge, at a glance, the surrounding area of Ningyuan not far away was already dark and full of people.
"This is?" Because of hearing about those things before, Miss Xiang raised her head and asked Xu Tingsheng a little uneasy.
Xu Tingsheng smiled and patted her head, making her turn her gaze back to Ningyuan...
A huge curtain that surrounded the whole circle slowly fell from midair.
"Take off your skirt!" Someone shouted, quite vividly.
The "small waist" in the darkness slowly revealed its figure. There was a sound of exclamation.
Regarding this modern tower, Xu Tingsheng's design prototype was the Canton Tower, which had not yet taken shape at this time. He pulled the designers together from memory to make an exquisite miniature version.
The design of the Canton Tower itself is outstanding, with soft lines, resembling a girl in a long skirt, showing her delicate waist.
Ningyuan's Xiaoman waist selection was unveiled on this night.
The citizens who heard the news earlier came from all over the place, not only to see the true face of this modern tower that Zhicheng once boasted will become a landmark building in Yanzhou in the future, but also to verify with their own eyes whether Zhicheng is really as rumored and is about to collapse .
At this moment, as the curtain falls, the tower body attracts attention in the half-light. Because it was night, I couldn't see it clearly from a distance, only a silhouette and a few lights reflected on the tower on the other side of the river. The crowd involuntarily flocked closer amidst the sound of exclamation.
"Quick, let's go too..." Xiang Ning took Xu Tingsheng's hand, excitedly planning to squeeze into the crowd. For her, the meaning of this small waist is much greater than that of others.
She knew that what people were marveling at was actually just a shameless confession by a certain rogue uncle. That's her... small waist.
Xu Tingsheng used force to pull her back.
"Aren't you going?"
"No need to go."
Holding the phone in one hand, Xu Tingsheng said, "Turn on the light."
The tower body in the darkness burst into light for a moment...
"Wow! Wow!"
"beautiful!"
"Like wearing a colorful dress."
"It's spectacular."
"Small waist...so soft and beautiful."
Xiang Ning turned to look at Xu Tingsheng, "It's so beautiful."
"Not as pretty as you."
"Huh? Hmm."
"Meeting you is the best thing ever."
"What?"
"Turn back and look."
Xiang Ning turned her eyes to Xiaoman's waist again, the tower is still gorgeous, but there is one more line than before: meeting you is the most beautiful thing. Everyone is reading this line.
"Uncle actually confessed like this..."
"Miss Xiang, can I give you some rewards?"
"Um. Here. What do you want?"
"I want to kiss you in a crowd."
"Huh?... Mmm."
Nodding vigorously with courage. Xiang Ning closed her eyes and raised her head slightly.
This night in Yanzhou, the small man's waist is all over the city... the alluring little man's waist.
