The waterfall flows backwards, the river does not freeze, and the toad eats the swan meat. Any one of these three conditions would be very difficult to deal with. What's more, the other party proposed three at once, and all three must be achieved at the same time.
Fang Yan was very calm and not angry at all.
He looked at his mother Lu Wan and smiled bitterly, saying, "How much do the Ye family hate me? Why do they put forward such harsh conditions?"
"You can't think like that-----" Lu Wan said. "If I were Ye Wenrou's mother, I wouldn't agree to let my daughter marry you-----"
"Mom, are you my real mother?" Fang Yan looked at Lu Wan with wide eyes and said, "Am I not a good person?"
"It's not that you're bad, but your goodness is not good for Wenrou." Lu Wan looked at her son with pity and said, "Everyone in Yanziwu knows about you and Fenghuang. The person you like is Fenghuang, and your grandfather went to the Ye family to propose marriage for you. The people of the Ye family didn't do anything to your grandfather, probably because of his physical inconvenience. If the other families in Yanziwu dared to propose marriage, they would probably be thrown into the pond at the door to feed turtles. The people of the Ye family are naturally more proud than other families, you know that."
Fang Yan sighed softly and said, "Grandpa really messed up the matchmaking."
"I thought so before." Lu Wan said. "Now that I think about it, he is still the one who sees the long term. When he went to the Ye family to challenge you, everyone thought he was asking for trouble. But what was the result? Who benefited in the end? It was you, our Fang family."
"I'm going to talk to grandpa." Fang Yan said.
Lu Wan smiled and brushed off the snow foam that fell on Fang Yan, saying, "Go ahead. Your grandfather has difficulty walking, so when the weather is good, he can go out and play chess with others. When the weather is cold, he has to stay in his room alone and feels very depressed. You are not at home often now, and you underestimate the enemy like that. Usually, there is no one to talk to him."
"I understand." Fang Yan said. "I'll bring him a bottle of plum wine to satisfy his craving."
Lu Wan closed the door and warned, "Your grandfather is not in good health, so don't drink too much."
Fang Huwei poured the plum wine in the cup into his stomach, wiped the wine stains on his mouth, and said, "Why can't I go to the Ye family to propose marriage? What's wrong with my grandson? Is he not worthy of their girl?"
"Do you really think I'm worthy of you?" Fang Yan asked with a smile.
"Of course." Fang Huwei said without hesitation. "Although you were a bit messy before, as a man, you always gain knowledge as you grow older. As you get older, your abilities will become stronger. When you were a teenager, you were always stealing and fighting. Have you done those things in the past few years?"
"-------" Fang Yan regretted coming to chat with his grandfather to relieve his boredom. Although he relieved the old man's boredom, he felt more and more depressed.
"Logically speaking, we old guys shouldn't get involved in the love affairs of the younger generation." Fang Huwei stared at the wine jug in Fang Yan's hand, handed over his empty cup, and said, "Pour me another cup."
"You're not my father, you're my grandfather." Fang Yan said unhappily. "This is the last cup. When I came here, my mother told me not to let you drink too much."
"I'm used to it. When I was young, I always said 'old man' and 'old man'. I became a grandfather before I knew it." Fang Huwei smiled innocently while holding the plum wine. Then he glared and shouted, "What do women know? If you don't drink to your heart's content, how can you be considered drinking? Don't use your mother's words to shut me up. Even though my legs are paralyzed, I want to beat you up but you don't dare to fight back."
"------" Fang Yan felt that what he said made sense, and he was speechless. Who dared to hit his grandfather
"The girl from the Ye family is great." Fang Huwei laughed. "It's a blessing for you and our Fang family to marry a girl from the Ye family."
"You want to cling to the Ye family?" Fang Yan sneered. "I won't do such a spineless thing."
"Then you have to be able to hold her. Who can hold the Ye family's thigh just by wanting to hold her?" Fang Huwei glanced at Fang Yan and said, "Boy, I am talking to you seriously today. You must not let down the Ye family's kid. Good boy."
"Grandpa, you make it sound like the girl from the Ye family will marry your grandson - waterfalls flowing backwards, rivers not freezing, toads eating swan meat, which one can we achieve?"
"That was in the past." Fang Huwei said disdainfully. "When the weather is better tomorrow, I will go to the Ye family to propose marriage for you. I don't believe that they dare to be dissatisfied with my grandson now. We will change whatever they are dissatisfied with. One day they will be satisfied."
"------"
Fang Yan really wanted to cry but had no tears.
I've only heard of people 'cheating their fathers' and 'cheating their sons', but I've never seen anyone 'cheating their grandsons' like this.
The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and in a few days it will be New Year's Eve. Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin have to rush home to celebrate the festival even if they are reluctant. On New Year's Eve, they don't want to and dare not go back to reunite with their families.
Fang Yan booked tickets for Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin back to Huacheng in advance. He first sent the two little girls back to school to pack their luggage, and then dragged them to the airport.
Fang Yan still drove the old Red Flag car. The scratched parts of the car were repainted and the damaged parts were repaired. Although it looked more beautiful than before, Fang Yan still felt a little uncomfortable. He still liked the original natural color that had been preserved after years of frost and snow.
Because Fang Yan felt uncomfortable, he thought about the money he got back from Huang Yida for repairing the car. Thinking that he still owed him millions, his depressed mood was relieved a lot.
Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin were really depressed. Jiang Qin sighed and said, "Teacher Fang, I really don't want to go back."
"Me too." Yuan Lin echoed. "Swallow Valley is still more fun."
"Grandpa was very kind to us and always told us interesting stories. And there was also Sister Wenrou, who taught us many things and gave us the fish she caught every time - she didn't want us to go back either."
"You have to go back." Fang Yan said with a smile. "Jiang Qin, your mother knows you are here with me, and has called me several times, asking me when you will go back. If you don't go back, Sister Li will probably come back to Yanjing to attack you."
"It would be better if they come and kill us. Then we can all stay in Yanziwu to celebrate the festival." Jiang Qin said happily.
Yuan Lin wanted to say something like that, but she opened her mouth but couldn't say it. Her family was different from Jiang Qin's, and she didn't have the confidence to persuade everyone in her family to come to Yanziwu for the holiday.
"It's okay, the gate of Yanziwu is always open to you." Fang Yan said comfortingly. He thought, the two little brats finally went back. No one would force him to take the two kids to wander around the village, go to the Stone River to skate in the cold weather, go to the bamboo forest to catch birds, or go to the woods behind the mountain to hunt pheasants and rabbits - he could sleep well for a few days.
"That's great. Then we will return to school early after the Spring Festival, and then come to Yanziwu to find you----" Jiang Qin said excitedly.
Yuan Lin's eyes lit up and she said, "I think this is good too."
"Isn't this---not good?" Fang Yan said in embarrassment.
"It's decided." Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin said happily.
After sending Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin through security check and shedding a handful of extremely sad tears, he drove back to Yanjing City happily.
After getting off the airport highway, Fang Yan was about to turn directly to the road leading to Yanziwu when the cell phone in his pocket rang.
Fang Yan took out his cell phone and saw that the caller ID was Ye Fengsheng's number.
Fang Yan parked the car on the side of the road, pressed the answer button and asked, "Xiao Pang, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Paopao---no, that Fang Yan, where are you?" The voice of Fatty Ye Fengsheng came from the other end of the phone.
"I just got off the airport highway." Fang Yan said. He thought, I have to find a way to erase the nickname "Fang Paopao". It affects my glorious and great image.
"I went to your house to look for you. I know you've gone to the city, so I called you. Are you in the city now? Wait for me in the city. Let's get together as brothers."
"Where do we gather?" Fang Yan asked.
"Let's go to Nanshan for dinner first. Li Xiaotian will arrange the evening activities." Ye Fengsheng said.
Fang Yan thought about it and realized that there was nothing to do when he returned, so he said, "Okay, I'll go to Nanshan and wait for you."
"Okay. See you later. I'm on my way now." Ye Fengsheng said.
Fang Yan started the car again and ran towards the Yanjing City covered by wind and snow.
Nanshan is a restaurant and also a place where Fang Yan and his close friends often gather.
Fang Yan parked his car in the Nanshan parking lot, and Ye Fengsheng also drove over in his majestic Land Rover.
Ye Fengsheng honked the horn proudly to greet Fang Yan. After the two parked the car, Ye Fengsheng moved his fat butt and ran over, put his arm around Fang Yan's shoulders, and said, "Let's eat first. I'll take you out to see the world in the evening."
"If you want to drink and look at women, you don't need to call me. You know, I'm not that kind of person." Fang Yan said.
Ye Fengsheng glanced at him with disdain and said, "My sister beat you like a dog, and you still followed her around trying to seduce her - do you think that if you say something like this to me, I will look up to you and speak well of you in front of her? I tell you, this is impossible. In our hearts, you will always be Fang Paopao -"
"Really?"
"I really won't."
"I just like your principled attitude." Fang Yan hugged Ye Fengsheng and asked, "Where are you taking me tonight?"
"Do you know Le Chi?" Ye Fengsheng asked excitedly.
"A music fanatic who is one of the Seven Idiots of China?" Fang Yan's eyes lit up. (To be continued)
