Chapter Ninety-Three: Trouble in the Restaurant
Shanghai Xi'an Jiao Tong Middle School's holiday time is the 14th day of the lunar month, that is, the first day of February in the solar calendar, Fang Yanqing designed several days of winter vacation homework for the students finally wrote, Fang Yanqing assigned not much homework, compared to the teachers of other subjects, it can not be described as gentle, after the assignment, the bottom is cheering and wailing.
Fang Yanqing looked at the students below with some amusement, and asked with a smile, "What are you wailing about, isn't the New Year good?"
"It's a good New Year, but I'm worried that I won't do well in the exam. The next student replied, his mouth pursed, "Mr. Fang usually looks very gentle, but it is so difficult to come up with the question." ”
Fang Yanqing listened to the accusations of the students below, and shook his head seriously, "It's not difficult for me to come out, I am based on the admissions papers of some universities this time, only two-thirds of the difficulty above, you are all in the second year now, two-thirds of the difficulty should be." ”
The students below are wailing again, but Fang Yanqing will not be soft-hearted, and when he should be ruthless, he must be ruthless, otherwise how will this knowledge be learned.
"Going to Lin'an on the twenty-first day of the lunar month?" Fang Yanqing listened to Wei Chao's words, and said with some surprise, "Do you want to go to Lin'an for the New Year?"
"Yes, last year was in Shanghai for the New Year, and this year it will be Lin'an's turn. "Wei Chao exhibited the newspaper, approaching the end of the year, Fang Yanqing is idle, go to the newspaper office every day, and then look at the book is fine, but he is busy with his hands and feet do not touch the ground, the goods and everything must be prepared in advance, the gifts must also be prepared in advance, and all the employees under the staff have to send a New Year's gift, this is busy, and there is very little time at home.
"Oh, I see, the uncle and sister-in-law are in Beijing, will it be the turn of Beijing?" asked Fang Yanqing, digging into the small cake in front of him with a spoon.
"No," Wei Chao shook his head, "Their relationship is not as close as our family and Ranran's family, and they are usually very busy, so they won't come to Shanghai." ”
"The newspaper also wants to discuss the holiday, Xiaoqing, they can make a year-end summary at the end of the year, and I will discuss other newspapers and periodicals at that time," Fang Yanqing said, suddenly feeling a little swollen in his stomach, and hiccups uncomfortably, and then he kept fighting, looking at Wei Chao with pitiful eyes, "Did I eat too much?"
"You know, too. Wei Chao couldn't help but confiscate the cake, and led Fang Yanqing to walk in the courtyard to eat.
Recently, Xu Qingyi of the newspaper office was also full of red light, and he heard that his daughter-in-law was pregnant again, and he was beaming all day long.
Regarding the matter of going to Lin'an, Fang Yanqing also said to Qing Yatou, let Qing Yatou go with her, as Fang Yanqing's friend, Xiaoman has not seen Qing Yatou for so long, and must miss it very much, Qing Yatou was entangled in the identity of a friend for a while, and finally nodded slowly, and proposed to go to Lin'an after going to rent a house alone, the reason is that since he did not serve Miss, he was not qualified to live in Miss's house.
Fang Yanqing knew the temper of the Qing girl, so he had no choice but to rely on her.
Hou Nianci was like a frosted eggplant, groggy and couldn't lift her energy, Fang Yanqing asked Qing Yatou, Qing Yatou omitted the matter that Hou Nianci's second brother came to her that day and said it, Fang Yanqing pondered for a while, and decided to call Hou Nianci over to ask.
"My mother and my father are fighting for my family, my father wants me to go to college, my mother means that it is useless for girls to study too much, and she wants me to get married," Hou Nianci said with some melancholy, "Every time I hear them arguing about those words, I am tired of hearing them." ”
"What about you, what do you want to do?" Fang Yanqing looked at the good-looking little girl in front of him, and seemed to see some of his own shadows from her, and he was also confused and overwhelmed.
"Me?" Hou Nianci thought for a moment and twisted his handkerchief with his fingers, "I used to think that I could live no matter what, but now it seems to be different," Hou Nianci pursed her lips and laughed, "I want to be a person like Mr. and Sister Xiaoqing, and keep moving forward and progressing!"
Like himself, Fang Yanqing was stunned by Hou Nianci's words, it turned out that he had unconsciously become the person others wanted to be, "Then you have to add oil, Xiaoqing put forward the idea of her own newspaper after working in the newspaper for a month, you have to hurry up." ”
"I thought that Mr. would comfort me," Hou Nianci couldn't help but tilt his head when he heard Fang Yanqing's words, and said with some wail, "Hey, but the marriage should not be able to run away, my grandfather and grandmother are here, I hope to give me a good person." ”
Even in the trendy coastal areas, where he has seen all kinds of freedom, he can't avoid the words of his parents, and the helpless sadness makes Fang Yanqing a little sad, frowning, looking at Hou Nianci, wanting to comfort something, but finding that no matter what comforting words, they seem empty and powerless.
But Hou Nianci relieved himself first, didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile first, "I'm okay, my eldest brother and second brother love me, I can still choose someone, you can shake your head if it's not suitable for two days, and there are many women who can't do it, I'm already very content, I don't know how long this society will have to progress, so that women don't go down like this." ”
"It's going to get better. Fang Yanqing said softly, less than ten of the 35 students in a class of Xi'an Jiaotong Middle School are women, which is also very telling that the prejudice against women is deep-rooted, and if you want to shake it, you still have to take it slowly.
On the 21st of the lunar month, the car of the Wei family mansion drove to Lin'an, Fang Yanqing and Yue Yao went first, Wei Chao and Wei Shimu had to wait for another five days to come, and the newspaper of the Qing girl finalized the year-end summary of the 28th of the lunar month, and now the newspaper is working overtime to catch up, striving to finish before the 27th of the lunar month, Fang Yanqing gave the seat of the Feng family mansion to the Qing girl, and told her to leave at ease.
The car drove slowly along the way, Fang Yanqing and Yue Yao sat side by side, a total of two cars were driven, the first one was sitting, and the latter car was all Yue Yao's New Year's goods, Yue Yao looked at the scenery outside the window, the snow from the previous night had accumulated a thin layer, and it looked very beautiful hanging on the tree.
"Yanqing, I heard Chao'er say, do you want to build a school?" Yue Yao looked at the scenery outside the window, rubbed her hands, and put her hands into the fluffy hand warming room and asked.
"That's the thing," Fang Yanqing was a little embarrassed, saying that Fang Yanqing in the school always felt that the thing he repaired was a little unworthy of that name, not for anything else, but it was too simple, "I just want to provide a place for those who want to learn knowledge, but can't read because of poverty, to learn literacy and arithmetic, maybe it will help them in the future." ”
"This sounds good, and Halal is a good boy. Yue Yao couldn't help but praise as she listened to Fang Yanqing's words.
Good boy, Fang Yanqing thought about it, in fact, he wanted some girls to come to class, but he mentioned it with some workers, they all seemed to think that girls were useless in studying, but it was difficult to refute their own face, how to break this wrong idea that women are not talented and virtuous, Fang Yanqing even wanted to open a special page in the Weizhi Weekly to talk about this matter.
The building of Lin'an is antique, it looks a little like Rongcheng, but the environment is more novel than Rongcheng, the lively streets, the continuous houses, it is worthy of being called a place called Little Shanghai, the Feng Family Mansion is smaller than the Wei Family Mansion, but it is still very large, and it is not like the Wei Family Mansion, the surroundings are empty, there are other mansions to be separated from each other, the mansions here seem to be next to each other, the car drove to a barricade, Yue Yao opened the car curtain, glanced at the patrol people, asked the driver to hand over the money, and then drove the car in.
"This is the French Concession, not as good as our Nanshan Mansion District in Shanghai, this is managed by foreigners, you must bring enough people when you go out, you know?" Yue Yao looked at Fang Yanqing's somewhat ignorant appearance and instructed.
"French Concession?" Fang Yanqing had heard Ran Ran say before, but seeing and hearing were different, from which barricade seemed to draw a boundary, there were many Chinese outside, and there were many foreigners inside, this quantitative gap can simply be described as distinct.
The car drove for a while, and then drove into the Feng family mansion, Ran Ran came out and picked up Fang Yanqing and Yue Yao, "Uncle," Feng Ran shouted sweetly, "Mother's restaurant is busy now, you know, there are a lot of people eating in the restaurant in the New Year, and my father's has always attended meetings of the Ministry of Education recently, so I am the only one in this house to greet you." ”
"Okay, I know they're busy, who made me too idle. Yue Yao didn't take it seriously, and nodded with a smile, "What is our lunch...?"
"Go to the restaurant!"
Wei Qingman's Fuman Restaurant is not far from the concession, a full three-story building, spacious and gorgeous, such a big restaurant, so that Fang Yanqing couldn't help but be surprised, "Such a big restaurant, my aunt is in charge?"
"Of course!" Feng Ranran was still a little proud when she mentioned her mother, "This restaurant was built by my mother." ”
"Xiao Yao. Wei Qingman heard the people around him say that Yue Yao and Fang Yanqing were coming, and hurriedly greeted you, "I originally wanted to wait for you at home, but something happened in this restaurant, so I didn't come." ”
"What's the matter?" Yue Yao and Wei Qingman have been friends since childhood, and they have always been good friends, so they naturally don't take it to heart, but care about each other first, "But someone is making trouble?"
"No, I'm fine, a foreigner, making trouble here, I'll find someone to tie him up and lose the police. The Inspectorate went. Wei Qingman said heroically, holding Yue Yao's hand and walking upstairs, Feng Ranran also retreated to the back, took Fang Yanqing's hand, and Wei Qingman was still a little angry in front, "Hey, I'm angry, although I know that I won't be released again in a few hours, but I'm just a little angry," Wei Qingman sneered, "Do you know?" When I asked people to help people, what did the chief of the police say, he said that more things are better than less things, big things are small, we are not so troubled, I bah, these foreigners are a yellow-skinned monkey, I don't kill him. ”
"You, your temper hasn't changed at all. Yue Yao looked at Wei Qingman's angry appearance, reached out and patted the back of Wei Qingman's hand, and slowly reassured, "Don't be angry with them, follow the animals well." What is the livelihood of. ”
Fang Yanqing originally thought that Yue Yao was going to comfort Wei Qingman, but she didn't expect her to scold Wei Qingman together.
