On the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, several core members of the Yanziwu handsome men's team gathered together again. They hunted two rabbits and a few pheasants in the back mountain. Zhu Zidan was lucky enough to catch a vegetable snake. They also brought a few kilograms of mountain mushrooms and dried vegetables from home and stewed them in a big pot. A modified version of the dragon and phoenix fight came out.
The broth in the pot sizzled, and the aroma made everyone drool. Yanziwu had no worries about food and drink, and during the New Year holidays, they were well fed. But for some reason, no matter how delicious the food at home was, it was not as good as the big pot outside. Domestic flowers were not as fragrant as wild flowers, and fat meat was not as good as wild vegetable soup.
Ruan Qian was guarding the stove, adding oil and salt, stirring with a large wooden spoon from time to time to prevent the meat and vegetables from sticking to the pot. Li Xiaotian, Zhu Zidan, and Chen Yanqing and Wang Kaixuan, who had just returned to their hometown for the Spring Festival and had not yet returned, lay on the leeward side of the hay and drank, looking into the distance from time to time.
"What's going on with Fang Yan and Ye Fengsheng? Why haven't they come yet?" Zhu Zidan took a sip of Shaodaozi and asked in confusion.
"If you don't want to come, then don't come. We'll eat all the meat and drink all the wine. If you come late, we'll let them wash the dishes----" Ruan Jing said with a smile.
"What Ruan Jing said makes sense. Come on, brothers, let's eat quickly and drink up all the soup-----" Chen Yanqing jumped up from the ground, grabbed a bowl and was about to grab the spoon to dig out the meat.
Ruan Jing held on to the spoon and said, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer - the meat is still raw."
"Ye Fengsheng is coming." Zhu Zidan shouted.
The plump Ye Fengsheng came over panting, bowed repeatedly to apologize, and said, "Brothers, I'm late. I accept the punishment - I'll drink two more bowls later."
Zhu Zidan laughed and scolded, saying, "Brothers, did you hear that? Ye Fengsheng came late and wanted to drink more? Do you agree or not?"
"We disagree." Everyone shouted in unison.
Wang Kaixuan threw the burning knife in his hand to Ye Fengsheng and asked, "Where's Fang Yan? Didn't you two come together?"
Ye Fengsheng took a big gulp of the liquor and said with a gasp, "He didn't come with me. When I went to his house to look for him, his mother said he went out early in the morning."
"He went out so early in the morning? Where did he go?" Everyone looked at each other. No one knew Fang Yan's whereabouts.
"Alright, alright, you don't have to worry about him." Ye Fengsheng waved his hand and said, "That guy is as cunning as a fox. Even if we were all dead, he would still be alive and kicking, happily drinking with the beauty."
"You're the one who died. It's unlucky to say such things on New Year's Day."
"That's right, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth-----"
------
Ye Fengsheng's words triggered a collective attack from everyone, and Zhu Zidan even kicked him in the butt. If you actively approach someone to be beaten or scolded, then that person is your brother. If someone actively comes to beat or scold you, then that person is your enemy.
"Here it comes." Wang Kaixuan shouted, pointing in the direction of Shihezi in the distance.
Everyone looked over there, and then everyone's expression became dull. It was like seeing a funny and weird scene of a little white rabbit and a big bad wolf holding hands.
"This can't be true?" Zhu Zidan asked with his mouth wide open.
"We must be dazzled." Ruan Qian said.
The fat on Ye Fengsheng's face trembled, and he cursed fiercely: "This bastard-----"
Fang Yan walked over holding Ye Wenrou's hand and said with a smile: "Sorry, we are late----"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Fang Yan and Ye Wenrou's tightly clasped hands. Zhu Zidan looked at Fang Yan with gritted teeth and said, "You won't tell us this is true, right?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce her to you-----" Fang Yan said with a smile: "She is Ye Wenrou."
"------"
Everyone looked at Fang Yan with murderous eyes. Who didn't know that she was Ye Wenrou
What shocked everyone was why Ye Wenrou and you appeared in front of everyone hand in hand.
Doesn't she always beat you? Don't you hate her the most
Why----you have seduced the sweetheart of Yanziwu
Ye Wenrou is a special person in Yanziwu. Almost all the boys of the same age think that she is very good and beautiful, and is like a goddess.
However, if anyone were asked to approach her and try to please her, I'm afraid no one would have the courage to do so.
She is a god, a goddess worshipped by everyone.
A goddess should sit high on the altar, receiving offerings from thousands of people. But she took the initiative to step down from the altar and walked over hand in hand with a man who was widely regarded as the least likely to succeed in their circle. This scene was so visually impactful.
This is also the reason why the friends were all surprised but couldn't ask any questions because Ye Wenrou was present, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
"My girlfriend." Fang Yan said embarrassedly. "You should call her sister-in-law."
Zhu Zidan was extremely angry and said, "I am older than you, how can I call her sister-in-law?"
Fang Yan looked at Ye Wenrou with a smile on his face and said, "They used to think you were barbaric and violent, so now they don't respect you very much. Don't be angry with them-----"
So Zhu Zidan hurriedly greeted Ye Wenrou respectfully, bowed and said, "Hello, sister-in-law."
"Hello, sister-in-law." Wang Kaixuan, Chen Yanqing and others also hurried over to greet Ye Wenrou, which officially confirmed the relationship between Fang Yan and Ye Wenrou.
Ye Fengsheng grabbed Fang Yan and shouted angrily: "I went to your house to look for you, but you went to my house?"
"Yes. I went to the warm room to chat with the old ancestor for a while, drank a cup of Maojian tea, and came here together after Wenrou finished her training." Fang Yan said with a smile. "Are you not late?"
"You and my sister are really -- together?"
"It's just what you think." Fang Yan said with a smile: "Don't you think we are a good match?"
"A good match----" Ye Fengsheng glanced at Ye Wenrou, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He was also quite afraid of his sister, although Ye Wenrou had never hit him or scolded him once.
Ruan Jing was smarter. He found a big bowl and scooped a large bowl of broth into it and brought it to Ye Wenrou. He said with a big smile on his face, "Sister-in-law, it's time to eat."
"Thank you." Ye Wenrou's cheeks blushed slightly. She took the bowl of meat and started eating in small bites.
Fang Yan took the initiative to run over and get a bowl of meat soup. He and a few friends sat cross-legged on the licorice pile and ate and drank. He said, "Have you decided on the date of departure?"
"I'll leave tomorrow," Zhu Zidan said. "To the North Sea. My cultivation has been hindered over the years, and I've been living a life of eating and waiting to die every day. This kind of life is really boring."
"We should have left long ago." Fang Yan nodded and said, "Swallow Valley is good, but it's too comfortable after all. A peaceful mind is suitable for cultivation, but a murderous mind is suitable for improving martial arts. The border is a good place. Kill a few more little ghosts who invade our territory, and maybe you will break through again."
"I'm not in a hurry. But my family has already made arrangements for me to go to Huacheng in a while. My brother is developing in the north, so I'll go to the south to take a look." Li Xiaotian said with a smile: "Fang Yan will have to take care of me when the time comes."
"Don't worry." Fang Yan nodded and said, "I'll introduce you to some friends when we get to Huacheng."
Ruan Jing glanced at Ye Wenrou and said, "Uncle Donghai will go downstairs to train after the New Year. I will go to be Uncle San's secretary."
Lin Donghai has worked with Ye Daoling for many years, and now she will be assigned to work in Beijing and Tianjin. It can be said that she has finally become a mother-in-law after being a daughter-in-law for many years.
Lin Donghai was demoted, and Ye Daoling lacked a man to work with. This time, he did not choose anyone from his direct descendants or collateral branches of the Ye family, but appointed the smart and careful Ruan Jing. This also shows the attitude of the Ye family. Yanziwu is everyone's Yanziwu, and they are willing to lead everyone to a brighter and better future.
After the last palace coup, the Ye family was finally willing to step forward and become the leader of Yanziwu.
Everyone praised Ruan Jing and encouraged him to perform well and strive to become a capable historian like Uncle Dong Hai in the future.
Ruan Jing smiled shyly and said, "The person that Third Uncle values most is Fang Yan. If Fang Yan is willing, then I won't have a chance."
"You can't say that." Fang Yan encouraged Ruan Jing. "I talked to Third Uncle last time, and he knows your abilities very well. He chose you as his secretary after careful consideration. Otherwise, why didn't he use Ye Fengsheng? Why didn't he use Zhu Zidan or Li Xiaotian?"
"I will try my best." Ruan Jing said with a firm look in his eyes.
Chen Yan will be assigned to work in the city or county after he becomes a young man, in preparation for future promotion. Wang Kaixuan is going to study at the military academy, and will follow the military career path like his father. Except for Ye Fengsheng, the young men in Yanziwu will soon go their separate ways.
Ye Fengsheng was in a bad mood. He raised the bottle in his hand and said proudly, "You all have your own way out and your own place to go. I will help you take care of the house in Yanziwu. I wish you a bright future and a prosperous future."
Fang Yan glanced at Ye Fengsheng, sighed softly and said, "Let's go to Yanjing again in the next two days and have a good talk with Uncle San. I have to let you go out for a walk. If it doesn't work, you can go to Huacheng with me. If we are all together, who are we afraid of not having a bowl of food to eat?"
"That's right. Why don't you come with me to the North Sea?" Zhu Zidan said.
"Let's go to the military academy." Wang Kaixuan laughed. "I'm worried that I'll be bored in there alone."
Ye Wenrou glanced at Ye Fengsheng and said, "Do whatever you want, and ask for whatever you want. No one can help you except yourself. If you don't even have the courage to go out, how can you reach the peak of martial arts?"
Ye Fengsheng was stunned for a long time, then jumped up from the ground happily and ran towards the village.
His running posture was weird, like a big bear running left and right. Everyone laughed for a long time, and they were happy for him from the bottom of their hearts.
Fang Yan raised the bottle in his hand and said, "A good man has great ambitions. He returns home to find the best girl. This separation is for a better reunion in the future. Everyone, I wish the Yanziwu male god team a bright future and great success."
when!
Everyone's wine bottles collided vigorously.
The sadness of parting turned into bowl after bowl of Shaodaozi.
