The Fang family had already prepared for going abroad. Xu Tingsheng got the documents needed for the visa that night and set off for Yanzhou.
The car was a white BMW that Xu Tingsheng borrowed from Hu Shengming over the phone. Zhong Wusheng drove the car, Xu Tingsheng sat in the co-pilot, and in the back seat sat a little girl with a stalked neck who didn't know who she was fighting with, and her big schoolbag.
"If my mother hadn't been crying, I wouldn't have gone with you. Anyway, you know it, so remember, I hate you very much." Fang Ruli said to the back of Xu Tingsheng's head in a disdainful tone.
Xu Tingsheng turned his head helplessly, "Got it, you've said these words for the fifth time."
"I'll live in that training school when I get there. I have money, so don't worry about it."
"Fine. Never mind."
"Anyway, it's fine if I don't see you before I go abroad. You're a pervert."
"Um."
Xu Tingsheng turned around and sat down after the little girl was blocked to death, Zhong Wusheng turned his head to look at him, the two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
Fang Ruli's mother, the second daughter-in-law of the Fang family, is a relatively special one in the Fang family. She has no public office or even a job, and only works as a full-time housewife at home.
This woman who has been quietly caring for her husband and raising her children is now the only one in the second generation of the Fang family who is still free. Her wisest judgment on the situation is that she knows that she can't support the overall situation, so she has never put on the line of this elder, and she doesn't force herself to stand out, and she doesn't make random decisions.
There is a saying about sending the children abroad to keep them safe, and staying with her father-in-law to escort her to her death, and to wait peacefully for her husband and the fate of the other second generations of the Fang family. This is her responsibility and courage.
However, the selfishness of being a mother cannot be avoided anyway. In order for Xu Tingsheng to bring Fang Ruli back to Yanzhou to spend the time before going abroad, she gave two reasons in front of everyone:
First, Fang Ruli was too young to stay in the ward all day, and the atmosphere was too oppressive to bear.
Second, Xu Tingsheng's Hucheng has a training school in Yanzhou, and it happens that Fang Ruli is going abroad soon, so he might as well go to the training school to do some language and other training.
Both reasons sound so reasonable, but Xu Tingsheng actually knows that Fang Ruli's foreign language is so good that he can steal a person to hide in a corner, and scold him in English for half an hour without repeating the same thing. .
Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the little thought of being a mother.
In the current situation, the Fang family has been defeated, and the old man can no longer speak, so the little favor that Xu Tingsheng owes to the Fang family can be ignored. In other words, the connection between Xu Tingsheng and the Fang family is actually only Fang Yuqing, or Fang Cheng. This is equivalent to saying that he can only care about the two of them, and ignore the rest of the other family's life and death.
Fang Ruli had some contact with Xu Tingsheng by accident, not as good as Shang Yuqing and Fang Cheng, but compared to the rest of the Fang family, he was more familiar. She hopes to strengthen the contact and connection between her daughter and Xu Tingsheng, gain a brother-sister relationship, friendship, even if it's just sympathy, it can provide more guarantee for her daughter's future.
This is one of the considerations. The second consideration, the reason why she wanted Fang Ruli to follow Xu Tingsheng was that in the current Fang family camp, where could be safer than staying by Xu Tingsheng's side
This is the simplest "scheming" of a woman and the purest "selfishness" of a mother.
Therefore, Xu Tingsheng did not refuse.
Fang Ruli wanted to refuse, but she was pulled aside by her mother just as she was about to start a fight. After talking for a while, the mother and daughter came back with red eyes, Fang Ruli lowered her head and stood obediently behind Xu Tingsheng with her schoolbag on her back.
It wasn't until she got in the car that she returned to her true nature as a little girl.
…
Xu Tingsheng opened the door and found that Xiang Ning and Du Jin were sitting in the living room watching "Love in Blue", both of them were in tears. This is normal for Xiang Ning, she cried several times watching it, but what happened to Du Jin, a tough female bodyguard
Seeing Xu Tingsheng appearing, Du Jin wiped away his tears in a panic, trying hard to regain his ruthless appearance. Miss Xiang, who had been worrying for a whole day, deliberately acted indifferent, without turning her head, and said very normally: "I'm back."
"Hmm," Xu Tingsheng said, "Why don't you turn on the air conditioner when it's so hot?"
"Sister Du Jin has a stomachache and cannot turn on the air conditioner." Xiang Ning explained.
"Stomach pain?... Oh, I see." Xu Tingsheng suddenly realized.
"Pervert, you are disgusting."
Fang Ruli walked out from behind Xu Tingsheng with a look of disdain.
Du Jin already knew that there was someone behind Xu Tingsheng, so he just stood aside and watched coldly. Xiang Ning looked at Xu Tingsheng in surprise and curiosity.
"I found an oil bottle for the two of you. Let me introduce, this is Fang Yuqing's cousin, who is here for a period of overseas training. Then she will be handed over to you two. Anyway, Xiang Ning is going to the training school For tutoring, Du Jin will take care of it together."
Du Jin nodded. Since Xu Tingsheng said that the little girl in front of her was from the Fang family, she understood the true meaning of "care".
Xiang Ning smiled to express her kindness.
"I'm not a fool, I can take care of myself." Fang Ruli snapped.
"By the way, you can call her stinky fish." Xu Tingsheng added.
"I'm not a stinky fish, you are a stinky fish", Fang Ruli retorted excitedly, walked into the room and put down her schoolbag, then walked up to Xiang Ning, "My name is Fang Ruli... Are you his girlfriend?"
Xiang Ning nodded awkwardly, "Fang Ruli? How are you, little carp. My name is Xiang Ning." She tried her best to act like a mature big sister.
"It's obviously not a hundred times more beautiful..." Fang Ruli muttered to herself, and then said to Xiang Ning, "Okay, you can call me Little Liyu. Well, do you know that your boyfriend is a pervert?" Condensation has no hostility.
Xiang Ning looked at Xu Tingsheng, suppressed her smile, "Yeah, I know, he's a pervert." She said it sincerely.
"Huh. Isn't it?!" Fang Ruli's eyes lit up. She had a lot of resentment towards Xu Tingsheng, but Xiang Ning was also angry because of Wu Yuewei's matter, she was not angry with Wu Yuewei, and put the blame on Xu Tingsheng.
The two quickly found a common language on the matter of harming Xu Tingsheng.
From that night on, Fang Ruli and Xiang Ning lived together.
With two stinking girls and Du Jin who always treated Xu Tingsheng with a cold face, Xu Tingsheng was isolated by the three women in his family.
…
The final exam of the third year of teacher education was as easy as Xu Tingsheng expected. Relatively speaking, the smoothness and ease of the visa processing process really exceeded his expectations... Money opened the way without any resistance, and the Ling and Xiao families seemed to be unaware of it at all.
He threw this doubt to his father.
Xu's father only explained one sentence: "It is a big taboo for local government officials to have too close a relationship with foreign embassies, or have private contacts." Xu Tingsheng suddenly realized.
Everything is in order.
At the beginning of July, Fang Ruli left Yanzhou with Xu Tingsheng after hugging his head and crying with Xiang Ning. The two went straight to Shenghai International Airport at night to join the other three generations of the Fang family's direct and collateral generations.
Outside the security check passage, Fang Ruli stood sideways while supporting the pink suitcase that Xiang Ning had picked out for her, not looking at Xu Tingsheng.
"Damn, I didn't want to talk to you," she said, "but after thinking about it, I still want to remind you that you are not allowed to find other women behind Xiaoning's back, you know? She is willing to lie to you Now, you have to be nice to her."
"Okay, thank you, smelly fish." Xu Tingsheng said with a smile.
"Don't call me stinky fish again," Fang Ruli said, "Forget it, you can call me little carp once today."
"Okay, thank you, little carp." Xu Tingsheng patted her on the head, Fang Ruli unexpectedly didn't hide.
She raised her head and said, "I promised sister Xiaoning that I would come back to be her bridesmaid when you get married. But you know, I really don't want to see you, so my words may not count. You should prepare a few more A bridesmaid, you don’t have to wait for me to come back.”
"Then what if your sister Xiao Ning refuses to marry me if she doesn't see you coming back? So, she will come back. Anyway, there is still a lot of time, and by then you should grow up and be able to wear formal dresses." Xu Tingsheng looked at She raised her small face, put away her smile and said seriously: "After you go out, you have to take good care of yourself, study hard, and be strong... If you have anything, just tell your sister Fang Cheng or brother Yu Qing. If you have any difficulties, you can help me." Call your little sister Ning."
"Well... No, I won't call you. I will be fine. Even if my parents and brother are away, I am not afraid, because I have grown up. I will take a good university and graduate later He is very good at making money, better than you... Then he can take care of his mother." Fang Ruli said that she had grown up, but tears flowed down like a child.
Xu Tingsheng handed her a tissue.
Fang Ruli took it and held it in his palm.
"I'm leaving, pervert. Finally, I can never see you again. It's good." Fang Ruli turned around and said as he walked into the security inspection channel.
Xu Tingsheng saw her small back that was drifting away, and saw that she refused to help and stubbornly carried the suitcase to the security checkpoint by himself. It was very difficult, but he gritted his teeth and refused to give up.
Together with her big suitcase, this 14-year-old thin girl is about to start her lonely and long study career in a foreign country. Fang Ruli knew very well that she was no longer that little princess spoiled by her parents and elder brother, and she was no longer that free little carp.
"Let's go." Fang Yuqing said.
"Let's go." Fang Cheng said.
The two finally passed by Xu Tingsheng. What should be said has already been said, Xu Tingsheng calmly watched the figures of the two siblings disappear behind the security check passage, the first time they met each other was in his mind, Fang Cheng's cunning and insidious, Fang Yuqing's stupid enthusiasm.
With some reluctance and emotion, and some relief after letting go of the burden, Xu Tingsheng turned around and prepared to leave the waiting hall. He stopped suddenly while walking, "I always feel that something is wrong...but I can't grasp that point. What is wrong?"
