"Come back soon, I can't bear it alone----"
The tree trunk is too high, the bark is too slippery, and it is covered with a thin layer of ice. If you are not careful, you may slip down and fall to the ground.
Zhou Mingli climbed up with the help of Fang Yan. Now Fang Yan said that he would go back to practice again, and might not come back until next spring to perform the aerial brick splitting performance. If he lies here and waits until next spring, I'm afraid that sprouts will sprout on his head before the trees do, right
Of course, he also knew that the New Year's Eve dinner would be coming up soon, and if his family couldn't see him, they would definitely come out to look for him. He would definitely not be in any danger.
However, the wind was strong and the snow was heavy in the woods on the bank of Shihezi River. Not to mention one or two hours, even ten or twenty minutes would be a deadly torture.
He really hated Fang Yan, this naughty kid who only cared about causing trouble and stabbing people everywhere - why wasn't he beaten to death by his parents when he was a child
"Fang Yan----Come back----Help, someone save me-----"
Zhou Mingli shouted at the top of his lungs, but no one could hear his helpless request.
Deep in the dense forest, the pair of dead eyes stared at him without blinking. The black robe was tightly wrapped around his body, and even the arrogant cold wind could not peel it off his body.
He held a thin blade in his hand, and if he just threw it out gently, the screaming child might die.
After a long time, he finally made the final decision.
He turned around and ran wildly towards Xiaoqingshan Mountain.
It's gone in a flash!
When Zhou Mingli came back, his face was swollen and his nose was swollen, his nose was running and his eyes were wet, and he kept coughing. His hair, which was originally shaped beautifully with hair clay, was blown into a chicken coop by the wind, with bulging sides and a bald head in the middle, which could lead the non-mainstream fashion trend in Yanziwu.
Zhou Mingli couldn't hold back his tears any longer when he saw Fang Yijing. He burst into tears and shouted hoarsely, "Where's Fang Yan? Where is Fang Yan? That bastard - he deliberately bullied me. He tricked me into climbing a tree and ran away. I couldn't get down by myself - I almost fell from the tree and died."
Fang Yijing knew that Fang Yan would punish his son. It was not Fang Yan's style to do nothing. But seeing Zhou Mingli's miserable state, she felt a little distressed. She quickly pulled Zhou Mingli into the room and said, "Why are you yelling? Go back and change your clothes. Oh my god, your clothes are almost frozen into popsicles."
"It's Fang Yan. This bastard, I'm going to fight him to the death----If he dares to bully me, I won't let him off easily-----"
Snapped!
Zhou Fan slapped his son on the head.
"Shut up." Zhou Fan shouted. "Who told you to talk to your cousin like that? You are disrespectful and disrespectful to your elders. Is that what we taught you?"
Father's rage was still very intimidating. Seeing Zhou Fan angry, Zhou Mingli did not dare to act like a spoiled brat anymore. He wiped his tears and said, "So let's just forget about this? Did he bully me for nothing? Why did he----"
"Because he is your brother." Zhou Fan said in a tough manner. "If you talk to your brother like this again, I will punish you without him doing anything-----"
"You-----" Zhou Mingli wanted to rush up and fight with his father. He felt that everyone was bullying him, and even his father had defected to the enemy camp.
"As a mother, you have to take good care of your child." Zhou Fan said to Fang Yijing.
Hearing the noise, the Fang family members all looked over. Lu Wan came out and advised: "Talk to the child nicely, don't touch him-----"
Fang Mengying giggled beside her and said, "Brother Fang Yan has been beaten a lot."
"You little girl." Lu Wan was amused by Fang Mengying's words. She grabbed the two pigtails on her head and said, "If you dare to answer the adults again, I will sew your mouth shut with a needle."
Fang Mengying quickly covered her mouth with her hands, worried that her aunt would really sew her mouth shut with a needle. Then she wouldn't be able to eat delicious food.
"Beatings bring forth filial sons. Children need strict discipline. If this is the case now, what will happen in the future?" Zhou Fan said.
While everyone was comforting Zhou Mingli, Zhou Fan left the room and walked towards the kitchen.
Today is New Year's Eve, and the two old maids of the Fang family are busy preparing dinner for the whole family.
Seeing Zhou Fan coming in, the old woman who was washing vegetables asked with a smile: "Son-in-law, why are you in the kitchen?"
"I came to find something to eat." Zhou Fan said with a smile. "I ate a lot at noon, but I didn't expect to be hungry at this time."
"It's easy to boil oil and water in cold places." The old woman said. "There are fried radish balls and braised pork cheeks. How about I make a bowl of balls and a plate of pork cheeks for you to fill your stomach first?"
"That's fine." Zhou Fan said with a smile. "Just cut a plate of pig cheek meat."
The old woman stood up, wiped her hands on her apron, then took a pig's ear out of the meat can and shredded it.
Zhou Fan stood beside the old maid, pretending to watch her cutting meat, but took the opportunity of the old maid's body blocking the other old maid's sight to quickly pour the white bottle of medicine in his hand into the soup pot.
There was only one drop of the potion, and it didn't even create a splash when it was poured into the soup pot.
The old woman looked at Zhou Fan looking at the soup pot and said with a smile: "This is wild mushroom and pheasant soup. The mushrooms are picked from the mountains, and the pheasants are hunted from the mountains. You city people can't eat it."
"Yes. City people eat expensive and unnutritious food." Zhou Fan said with a smile. "And gutter oil."
"You should have a bowl of this later to replenish your energy," the old woman said. She quickly put the pig ears on a plate, handed Zhou Fan a pair of chopsticks, and said, "Son-in-law, fill your stomach first."
"Thank you." Zhou Fan took the plate and said gratefully.
When Fang Yan came back from outside, Zhou Mingli was already sitting on the sofa in the living room playing games.
When he saw Fang Yan coming in, his eyes almost shot out thousands of sharp swords to pierce Fang Yan into pieces.
Fang Yan sat down next to Zhou Mingli and asked with concern, "Cousin, are you back? Are you cold?"
"Fang Yan----"
"Don't be mean to me. I'll be even meaner to you." Fang Yan interrupted him and said in a low voice, "You've seen it before. I can break bricks with my bare hands. If I chop you in the spine, do you think you can still stand up?"
"you dare."
"Would you like to try?" Fang Yan said with a smile. "I have internal strength. If I hit you, you won't feel it immediately. The sequelae will slowly show up after a month----"
Zhou Mingli felt a chill on his back. He jumped off the sofa and ran towards his room while still taking off his shoes.
He was really afraid of Fang Yan.
Fang Yan smiled silently. This father and son pair really made him worry.
The Fang clan members worshipped their ancestors and poured three glasses of wine in the direction of the stone tablet at the entrance of Yanziwu village. Fang Yan personally went to the backyard to bring a few side dishes to the old drunkard and drank two more glasses with him. The Fang family's New Year's Eve dinner officially began.
Fang Huwei sat in the first seat, Fang Yixing sat below, followed by Fang Hao, Zhao Chengxin, Zhou Fan, Fang Yan, Zhou Mingli and several other young people from the Fang family. The female family members, led by Lu Wan, sat on the other side of Fang Huwei according to their seniority.
Fang Huwei looked at his descendants sitting on both sides of the table, and he seemed to be in an especially happy mood. He said with a smile: "New Year's Eve is a reunion night. What kind of reunion night is it if all the family members are not together? This year Yijing and Zhou Fan are back, and Mingli is back too - this year's reunion dinner is more reunited than in previous years. But this is not enough."
Everyone looked at Fang Huwei with confusion.
Obviously, all the family members were present, so why did the old man say that it was not enough? Was there someone who should have been there but had not returned
Fang Huwei looked at Fang Yan with bright eyes and said jokingly: "If Fang Yan can bring the girl from the Ye family back, our meal will be truly complete."
Everyone laughed.
Fang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa, please stop making fun of us."
"Who said I was kidding you? We must capture the girl from the Ye family next year and bring her back to our Fang family for New Year's Eve dinner during the Spring Festival. This is a mission - we must ensure it is completed." Fang Huwei said seriously.
Fang Yan didn't want to spoil his grandfather's fun, so he said perfunctorily: "I'll try my best - but you also know that this kind of thing requires fate."
"What a bullshit fate. Back then, I fell in love with your grandmother, and many people fell in love with your grandmother - others wrote love poems and gave gifts, but I just went up to her and said, "Come with me." And then she followed me." Fang Huwei said with a proud look on his face.
Fang Yan was shocked and asked, "Is it that simple?"
He was a little bit unconvinced, and always felt that picking up girls was something that required a lot of skill. How could it be successful so easily
"It's that simple." Fang Huwei nodded solemnly. "Of course, the premise is that I beat away all her suitors in front of her."
"------"
Everyone laughed again.
Even Zhou Mingli, who had always been stern and unwilling to talk to anyone, laughed out loud. It seemed that Fang Huwei's story was very much to the taste of young people like him.
After Fang Huwei finished his speech, everyone's attention shifted to Fang Yixing's face. According to the rules, he would also say a few words.
Fang Yixing raised the glass in front of him and said with a smile: "I won't say anything more. I wish you all good health and a better life. Come, let's drink this glass."
cheers!
Everyone's wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.
Then, everyone tilted their heads back and drank the liquor in their glasses.
Even the little guy Fang Mengxiang imitated the adults and drank the yogurt in his cup in one gulp.
The first thing to do is drink soup. The old woman brought the soup bowls up and placed a bowl in front of each person.
Fang Huwei took the soup bowl, blew on it, and was about to drink the soup with a spoon when Zhou Fan suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute-----" (To be continued)
