The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is also called the 'Little New Year's Eve'. There are banquets and banquets at home, and people come and go to visit each other. And burning incense outdoors is called "Heavenly Incense". It is usually requested to burn the Incense for three days.
When Fang Yan was walking in the living room, drinking tea and chatting with his mother, aunt, and others, Ye Fengsheng came to Fang Yan and said that his third uncle was back and asked him to go home for lunch.
Fang Yan glanced at his mother Lu Wan. Lu Wan smiled and said, "I've been invited because of rumors, so I'll go. Anyway, my sister-in-law won't leave for a while. I'll come back in the morning to continue chatting."
Fang Yan nodded and said, "He will be there in a moment."
When Ye Fengsheng saw a guest coming to Fang Yan's house, he didn't stay much and said, "He's waiting for me at home. Go there early. Third uncle said he would let me go to the house to help pour wine at noon."
"Are there guests at home?"
"Third uncle's guest." Ye Fengsheng said.
Ye Daoling used to be responsible for the research of China's economic system next to the Prime Minister, and he was naturally surrounded by many big bosses in the financial system. Now that he has taken a step further a year ago and is in that highly sought-after position, more people will naturally flock to him.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and no matter how busy Ye Daoling's official duties are, he will come back to have a reunion dinner with the ancestors of the Ye family as per his previous practice. After receiving the news, it was reasonable for Dong Zhu to come over in advance to pay Ye Daoling New Year greetings. On the other hand, what did he ask his junior from the Fang family to do? If it was just about pouring wine—Ye Fengsheng could do a pretty good job. Although his image is somewhat different from his own, he is, after all, a descendant of the Ye family.
Ye Fengsheng left, but Zhou Fan came back.
His expression was serious, and he seemed to have something on his mind.
On the pretext of asking his wife to help him find a tie, he pulled Fang Yijing into the room, closed the door and asked in a low voice, "Is there a Ye family in Yanziwu?"
"Is there a Ye family?" Fang Yiqing looked at her husband doubtfully and said, "Why do you ask about that?"
Zhou Fan's face was full of excitement. He grabbed his wife's leg and asked: "How is the relationship between our two families? Do we have any contact in daily life? Aren't we rural people all related to each other - are we related?"
"No." Fang Yiqing shook his head and said. "The relationship between the Fang Ye family has never been very good, and they are very hostile to each other—Zhou Fan, what on earth do I want to say? Why did the Ye family provoke me?"
What Fang Yijing said was not true. In the past, the relationship between the Ye family and the Ye family was indeed not harmonious, because Fang Yan and Ye Wenwen competed every year. People in the Ye Fang family always regarded the wrong side as the biggest culprit, and people in front and behind often attacked and accused each other. Now when her husband asks about the relationship between the two families, she can tell him the information she knew before. As for the recent easing of relations between the two families, she didn't know that Fang Yan had taken Ye Wenrou, the little princess of the Ye family, for walks by Shihezi countless times.
Zhou Fan couldn't vent his anger in his heart, so he said in a muffled voice, "We in the Fang family must be stupid to death by ourselves."
Such a high-level leader's visit to the Ye family proves that there must be someone special in the Ye family. Also living in Yanziwu, the Fang family actually had a conflict with the Ye family - wouldn't that be asking for death
His desire to go to the Ye family to establish friendship through the Fang family's connections was shattered, and he was naturally in a bad mood.
"Zhou Fan, why should I shut up?" Fang Yijing became angry and shouted.
Zhou Fan felt very sorry for his wife. When he saw Fang Yiqing getting angry, he didn't want to continue arguing with her. He snorted coldly and said, "Sooner or later, they will be dragged down by our family."
"Who will drag me down? I'm afraid that their family will drag me down, so I will go back quickly. He knows that I don't want to come, and he knows that I look down on their Fang family. In that case, I won't ask to come again in the future -" Fang Yijing was also looked down upon by her husband. Yu Ding's arrogant attitude was angered, and he pointed at the door and shouted.
"Just leave, who do I think is willing to come?" "Zhou Fan couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and shouted loudly.
Hearing the quarrel in the room, Lu Wan, Fang Yixin, Fang Yiling and others who were chatting outside rushed over.
The hostess of Lu Wanfu's house asked aloud: "Yijing, Zhou Fan, what happened? Why is there such a quarrel?"
Fang Yijing was unwilling to speak ill of her husband in front of her sister-in-law, as that would make her even more embarrassed.
Zhou Fan was resentful of the Fang family and was unwilling to answer Lu Wan's questions.
"We're celebrating the New Year, what can't you say?" Sister Fang Yixinfu came over and pulled the younger sister's leg to persuade: "If one of us gives in, the conflict will be resolved? After all, we are back to celebrate the festival, so noisy What's the fuss like? After all, it's a family, and it's a joke if outsiders hear it?"
Fang Yijing felt sour in her heart, but couldn't say anything.
Zhou Fan felt extremely depressed, so he walked to the yard to smoke.
Fang Yan stood next to the plum tree in the yard and heard clearly what Fang Yixin and Zhou Fan were arguing about in the room.
Seeing Zhou Fan coming out, Fang Yan said with a smile: "Uncle, I hope that the relationship between the Fang family and the Ye family will be harmonious?"
Zhou Fan's face stiffened slightly, he lit the cigarette in his leg, took a puff, and said with a straight face: "Isn't it natural to live in harmony with neighbors?"
"Is it true?" Fang Yan nodded and said. "So through his efforts, the Fang family and the Ye family are now as close as a family."
"Really?" Zhou Fan was overjoyed. If what Fang Yan said was true, wouldn't he be able to visit Ye's house as a matter of course? If you can get the opportunity to have a meal with that leader, or just chat with him casually for a few words, so that he can have a deep understanding of yourself, then your future will be profoundly promoted and promoted, right
Collecting Zhou Fan's joyful expression in his eyes, Fang Yan stretched out his legs and stroked the thick, cold branches of the plum tree, and said, "How do you say that? Far relatives are not as good as close neighbors. He had always been wrong about that sentence before and did not understand it clearly. His understanding - no matter how far away relatives are, they are not family members, how can they be inferior to a neighbor? Now he finds out that that sentence is very true and makes sense. Some relatives are very true and do not regard their own family members as human beings."
Zhou Fan's eyes were slightly stern, but he suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "He had a few gossips with my sister-in-law, but we don't take it to heart. Who doesn't quarrel and bicker at home during the confinement period? ? Relatives are not relatives after all. If we were not regarded as relatives, he would take the initiative to offer me a job during dinner yesterday morning? Do I know how many people want to ask him to help solve work problems every day? "
"No. That's why he asked for the kindness of Mr. Duojie." Fang Yan nodded and said. "But he said frankly that after careful consideration all night, he decided to go to Huacheng to be a teacher. Because it was not a job he liked, and it was also a job that could bring him more insights into life. "
After Fang Yan became a teacher, he realized the importance of responsibility. It was only after Fang Yan became a teacher that he realized the necessity of morality and rules. It was only after Fang Yan became a teacher that he realized the preciousness of literary works.
If the civil servants are not greedy for money and the military generals are willing to die, they will be able to conquer all the countries in the east and come to court.
Even if you are just a literati, if you have a literary courage to protect yourself, you can break through the dragon's pond and the tiger's den.
It was also when Fang Yan was working as a teacher in Huacheng that he glimpsed Wen Dan's spirit from his grandfather Lu Kai, so his Tai Chi heart, which had been dormant for a long time, was shaken and started to spin again.
He put life and death aside and took the risk to accept the challenge of Chiba Hyebu, which led to another breakthrough in Tai Chi's heart. Isn't it because his heart was cleansed and his soul was sublimated
Based on Fang Yan’s past personality, if he encountered someone with extremely tall legs like Chiba Hōbu, he would definitely turn around and run away, then crawl into Ye’s house and never come out again, right
Fang Yan is grateful for the trip to Huacheng, grateful to Zhuque High School, and grateful to everyone he met during that journey.
Of course, except for general orders.
Is it because of them that my life will be so wonderful and fulfilling.
The Fang family also all understood the significance of Fang Yan being wronged by Zhuque High School, so no one begged Fang Yan to leave there. Even Fang Huwei felt that his grandson's trip was fruitful. If he could break through again, it would be a great joy for the Fang family.
This is also the reason why everyone looked strange when Zhou Fan asked for help finding a job for Fang Yan yesterday morning. Zhou Fan is like a poor millionaire. No matter how hard he tries to show off his wealth, the multi-millionaires walking in Taitung will not give him warm applause.
For the men in Yanziwu, improving martial arts is a top priority.
"Since it was not my choice, he showed his understanding and respect-" Zhou Fan said with a smile. He didn't care where Fang Yan wanted to work or whether he had a job. "Did I say that the Fang family and the Ye family have a close relationship, like one family? Did my aunt just say that the two families get along very happily?"
"Ye Daoling, does uncle know that person?" Fang Yan asked with a smile.
Zhou Fan's pupils shrank and his breathing became rapid. Ye Daoling, if he was wrong in the past, was unfamiliar to him, as his latest transfer order was released through various media, it has become known throughout the country. Is it a rare opportunity to get in touch with a leader of Ye Daoling's level
Trying hard to control his excitement, he said, "Ye Daoling—is he from Yanziwu?"
"No." Fang Yan nodded with a smile. "His nephew came to him just now and said that Uncle Ye asked him to go to their house for lunch - it is said that some guests came to their house and they had to trouble him to pour the wine. Why should they let him go to pour the wine when they are drinking? I really don't want to go."
Zhou Fan's mouth opened for a long time before he said softly: "Please don't—he went with me, and he has accumulated some experience in pouring wine."
"That's not possible." Fang Yan refused. "They didn't invite me. He didn't want to invite me either. Please take me in rashly, which makes the master dislike it. What will the Fang family do if I drag them down?"
