My 1979 - Chapter 1646
c1644 family gathering
Fang Quan said, “It’s good to use the remaining energy, otherwise it would be idle. She is a hard-working person, and she is more anxious when she has nothing to do.”
He is grateful to He Fang, his eldest cousin. Looking back on the past now, he can think about it with hindsight. Everyone knows that it was easy to make money in the 1980s and 1990s.
However, if there was no one to guide them, and given the social environment at that time, they would just be a group of ignorant country children with no culture and no foundation from their parents.
Rely on yourself?
He must be like his childhood friends now, with a future that can be seen at a glance. Even if he can get out of that remote town, he will only receive a salary of several thousand yuan at most.
Being able to be a small boss is also a virtue accumulated by ancestors.
At that time, they had no sense of doing business, no way to make a fortune, and no experience at all.
He first followed Dong Jincheng, and then followed Wan Liangyou and others, and thus accumulated rich experience.
Moreover, these people were willing to take him along because of the honor of his eldest cousin and brother-in-law. Otherwise, who would know who he was?
Later, when he wanted to go it alone, his eldest brother-in-law introduced him to connections in Malaysia and provided him with funds.
It can be said that without the Li family and his eldest cousin, he would not be where he is today!
Otherwise, he might be sitting on the threshold of his hometown at this moment, holding a beer bottle and sighing with people about the past.
“Oh, houses were so cheap back then. If I bought two, I would be rich now.”
“The lumber business was so good back then, why didn’t I do it?”
“Then we’ll bring back the fertilizer, and we won’t have to worry about having nowhere to sell it. It’ll all be paid in cash, and no one will take credit.”
He will definitely sigh and feel full of regret when he gets old, having missed so many opportunities.
Li Lan said, “Let her do whatever she wants. No one cares about her. She can’t stay idle anyway. If she doesn’t find something to do all day long, she will go crazy.”
Fang Quandao, “Speaking of how old you are, it’s time to find something for your mother to do. You see she likes children so much. If she takes more care of her in the future, you and your wife will be relaxed.”
Li Lan smiled and said, “Can you die if you speak more straightforwardly? My family introduced me to someone, and we are talking about it. Who knows what will happen in the end.”
“Where do girls come from?” What kind of wife will the Li family marry? This strong curiosity has always lingered in Fang Quan’s heart and he can’t get rid of it.
Li Lan said, “I haven’t really asked you about what you do when you work at the municipal party committee. I’m too lazy to care about that.”
“The key is to look at the person.” Fang Quan nodded in agreement. According to the Li family’s attitude, they really don’t care too much about the other person’s family, as long as they are not too unrestrained, “How are you getting along?”
Li Lan said, “After two meals, I feel the same. Let’s talk about it later.”
In fact, there was nothing to hide, so he told the truth.
Fang Quandao said, “Marriage is no big deal, so take your time and don’t be in a hurry.”
Especially for the Li family, it certainly cannot be done casually.
Li Lan smiled and said, “Let’s talk about it later.”
“Hey, you two are chatting so happily?” He Juan came over, smiled and said to each other, “Cousin, you seem to have gained weight again.”
Fang Quandao, “I’m the worst person to listen to the truth, but you still like to say that in foreign countries, calling someone fat is not discriminatory?”
He Juan smiled and said, “Isn’t this China? I still think we Chinese people are generous and don’t pay so much attention to things. We just eat, drink, laugh and laugh.”
Fang Quandao, “That’s because men don’t care. If you dare to say that to a woman, I can’t fight you.”
He Juan said, “That’s right, women should pay attention to keeping in shape, and you men should also keep fit. Foreigners also pay attention to exercise. After fifty years old, they look like they are in their thirties. But when we Chinese men are over thirty, they look like they are in their fifties.” A teenage uncle.”
Fang Quan smiled and said, “Are you bullying me because I have never been abroad? New York, Houston, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Washington, you name it, I haven’t been there. There are fat people all over the streets. If you want to say that I have a good figure, I have never been there.” Very few people really know anything.”
He Juan said, “But in terms of fitness rate, it’s still not as good as others.”
Fang Quandao, “The national conditions are different, everyone should take care of their own business. Let me tell you, did your aunt lecture you?”
He saw everything.
He Juan said, “It’s okay, it’s not a cliché. Just tell me, with my dad’s temper, how can I get along well with him?”
“If you don’t get along well, you have to have respect.” Li Lan rarely got along with this eldest cousin, but inexplicably, he had an indescribable resentment for no reason.
Compared with his cousin He Hu, he has a completely different personality. He prefers He Hu.
He Juan smiled and said, “It’s not like you can’t see why your uncle scolded me. Chinese parents are like this, stubborn and patriarchal.”
“They called for dinner, I’m going to check on them and help them.” Li Lan became more and more reluctant to listen to her. He even looked at the butterfly tattoo on her neck, which seemed to be an eyesore. He actually said, “You guys talk.”
“I’m going to see what kind of wine your father gives us. If it’s bad, I won’t agree.” Fang Quan also found an excuse and left.
Li He was sitting in the middle of the restaurant, holding Fang Quan’s little daughter in his arms. After the old lady disappeared, the seat of honor has always been his, but having said that, no matter where he is these years, he has always been the seat of honor.
Later, he got used to it, and he took it for granted, unlike in the early years when he had to be humble and polite to everyone.
Fang Quan took his little girl from Li He and said with a smile, “Taking care of a child is troublesome. Fortunately, I am almost the same age as the eldest daughter. Now I just have to take care of her. Otherwise, I will die.”
Logically speaking, it would make sense for him and Fang Li to have a son each.
However, his mother always felt that it was a pity that there was no girl in the family.
She gave birth to two sons herself, but none of them were girls. When it came to her grandchildren, there was actually no girl either.
He strongly urged his two sons to give birth to a girl no matter what, and she would be responsible for taking care of her.
Although Fang Li’s wife is also filial, she vows not to become a fertility machine.
Fang Quan’s wife was appointed by the old lady in the countryside. Fang Quan didn’t like her, so in order to gain her mother-in-law’s support, she was still pregnant for ten months. With good luck, the baby turned out to be a girl.
Originally, he planned to send her to the countryside to be taken care of by an old lady, but after her death, Fang Quan was reluctant to let her go and kept her by her side. If I missed her granddaughter, she would occasionally take her from the countryside to live with her for a few days.
Li He said, “It’s fun when children are young, but it’s no longer fun when they get older.”
He took the lollipop out of the little girl’s hand and said comfortingly, “Be obedient, eating too much will hurt your teeth.”
The little girl was about to cry, but she stopped immediately when she saw her mother’s glare.
Fang Quan handed the child to his wife and said, “It’s okay, don’t scare the child.”
His wife was too cowardly to speak.
Fang Quan waited until she was far away before he said, “Tiger girls, you don’t understand the truth all the time and slap your child on the face. I was so angry that I almost didn’t slap her the day before yesterday.”
Li He said, “You must pay attention to the method of educating your child, talk to her carefully, and don’t fight easily.”
Li He had nothing to say about Fang Quan, except that he was a bit foolish and filial.
Fang Quan listened to whatever the old lady of the Fang family said. Even marrying a daughter-in-law was entirely handled by me. She only saw her daughter-in-law three days before the wedding.
The good thing is that he looks good, but the bad thing is his character.
After marriage, the man has a hard temper and the woman has a weird temper. When the two strong tempers meet, there will be death or injury.
When war breaks out, women will kill people with knives.
Fang Quan was not used to her problem. He was a tall man of over 1.8 meters, and he was naturally more than enough to face his wife who was less than 1.7 meters tall. He was like carrying a chick, and she was swung far away.
It is impossible to reason with others, and it all relies on his fists to convince others.
He beat her until she was frightened, and the family was able to calm down for a while.
However, even so, the face and the heart are still at odds.
In the past few years, He Fang had persuaded the two of them to divorce, but Fang Quan didn’t care. Unexpectedly, it was Fang Quan’s wife who was dissatisfied.
Later, Fang Quan sent his son back to his hometown to be raised by his mother, and he spent time living and drinking outside, completely ignoring the relationship between husband and wife.
He expected that his wife’s temper would cause a scene in her hometown, but what surprised him was that his wife suddenly changed her past behavior and started to reason with him.
The two of them actually lived together peacefully for more than half a year.
At this point, he has restrained himself, and there are no flowers, flowers, orioles outside.
When his youngest daughter was born, he had a son and a daughter, and his husband and wife were harmonious, and they really felt like they were living a better life.
One of his friends analyzed his wife’s psychological state for him. The gap between the two of them was too big. When they got married, one was a well-known multi-millionaire within a few miles around, and the other was born in the countryside and had worked in the city for a few years. A working girl.
Any other woman would have tried to please him, but his wife was different and chose to show off her temper to make her presence felt.
Although he didn’t agree with this statement, it didn’t stop him from trying.
In the past, he never cared about the affairs of his wife’s family, but now, the affairs of his wife’s family are his business. His father-in-law and mother-in-law live in the best high-rise river view house in the Daxinganling area.
His brother-in-law, who graduated from college, arranged for him to have a family and work unit.
Another brother-in-law, who was as illiterate as him, simply opened a dairy farm. The price of milk had increased in the past few years, and he really made a lot of money.
He found that his wife looked at him with more tenderness.
“Sometimes I can’t explain to her, so let her do whatever she wants.” Now, he was very satisfied.
He Long took over a bottle of liquor, shook it and said, “How about we guys drink Guojiao?”
His brother-in-law couldn’t drink anyway, so it was Fang Quan and his brother who asked him directly.
Fang Li said, “I’m not a good drinker, so I’ll drink some beer. You two can drink liquor.”
Li He said, “You don’t drink what you can, but you still expect me to drink what I can’t. Don’t be pretentious. Drink well. It’s not like you have no place to sleep after you drink. You can just lie down when you’re drunk.”
He Hu on the side smiled and said, “Plus Li Lan and I, the five of us shouldn’t drink too much, just drink five bottles.”
Li Lan smiled and said, “You are still good enough, I can’t drink that much.”
He Hu said, “I’m your brother. I’ll let you have two drinks first, and then we’ll each have one drink later. You’re not allowed to run away.”
Li Lan said, “You’ve said so. If I don’t fight, wouldn’t I look cowardly?”
This meal lasted from noon to about three o’clock in the afternoon.
Li Lan and He Hu had already left the table, and Fang Li was there with his eyes narrowed and silent. Only the two brothers, He Long and Fang Quan, were left to go back and forth. They drank too much and the cowhide was flying everywhere. Anyway, they didn’t spend any money.
After Li Lan drank two pots of tea, his mind became clearer and he was ready to go back to his place. Song Gu wanted to drive him, but he refused.
I walked outside the community, stopped a taxi at the intersection and left.
When I got home, I drank cold water, ran to the toilet, and slept until dark.
When I woke up, I found that the kitchen light was on.
“Mom, why are you here?”
He yawned heavily.
He Fang complained, “You don’t answer the phone when I call you. I don’t feel relieved. I’ll just come and take a look.”
Li Lan said, “It’s okay. I’m not a child anymore. What’s there to worry about?”
He Fang said, “If you’re not a child, don’t let me worry about you. You should send me a message when you get back. You’d better not even call me.”
Li Lan said, “I slept too much.”
He Fang asked, “I’ve finished the meal for you. Whatever you want to eat tonight, I’ll cook it for you.”
Li Lan smiled and said, “Dad is still at home. Why don’t you go back and cook for him?”
He found that the gas tank that he had not used for a long time had also been wiped clean by his mother. On the table were potatoes, meat, and some other vegetables that he liked to eat.
“You won’t starve to death if you eat a little later.” He Fang said with a smile, “I’ll make it for you first and then I’ll go home.”
Li Lan said, “Tomato and egg soup, add some minced meat in it, and green pepper and potatoes. I can’t eat it even in hot weather.”
Turning around, I saw clothes hanging on the rope in the yard, and asked with a smile, “You also washed the clothes for me, thank you, Mom.”
While He Fang was slicing potatoes on the chopping board, she said, “You two are both the same in this regard. Neither of you cares about cleanliness. I can’t even bear to change out of my clothes until I reach a certain level.
In the past, when he smoked, it was okay once the smell of smoke was covered up, but now he could smell the rancid smell from a long distance away.
Don’t imitate him if you are young. ”
Li Lan smiled and said, “I’m a man, so I don’t need to worry too much. You should just take care of your daughter. She’ll be so sloppy, it’s really scary.”
“Hey, I really owe you a lot.” Thinking of his daughter, He Fang did have a headache.
She has been clean and tidy all her life. If her son doesn’t follow him, he will accept it. After all, he is a boy. But if her daughter doesn’t follow her, she can only be depressed.
