Chapter Twenty-Three: Fang Yuan's Ambition
Fang's mother has been teaching primary school for almost 30 years, probably because she has been with children for a long time, and her personality is also contaminated with childishness, and she has no scheming, she will say whatever she has to say, and she is a very simple person.
However, when Fang Yuan usually spoke to her seriously, she could listen to her.
"Okay, don't bother, I know everything, let me see my granddaughter. Fang's mother urged.
So Fang Yuan beckoned to Xinxin, who was running crazy in the playground, "Xinxin, come to Dad." β
When Xinxin saw her father calling, she immediately ran over, probably because she was playing too crazy, her cheeks were red and her head was covered with sweat, "Dad, why are you calling me?" The little man stood behind the fence, trying to put his toes on his toes, trying to stick his head out a little more.
Fang Yuan stood up, bent down, and then pointed his phone at her, and the two of them met for the first time a hundred miles apart.
Suddenly facing each other, the little man shrank back, and then asked Fang Yuan in a low voice, "Dad, who is she?"
"He's mom and dad, and that's your grandma. Fang Yuan explained in a low voice.
"Oh, it turns out she's Grandma. When Xinxin heard what she understood, she immediately replied happily.
"Yes, I'm you Grandma. Fang's mother smiled on the other end of the phone, judging from the phone, the little guy's eyebrows were too similar to Fang Yuan's when he was a child, it seemed that the silly boy didn't like to be a father.
Because Fang's mother is a teacher, she still understands some simple English daily expressions, but when it comes out of her mouth, it has a strong Qiongzhou flavor, and Xinxin didn't understand it for a while.
"Here, say hello to grandma. β
"Hello grandma, I'm my father's baby Xinxin. Xinxin waved her chubby little hand.
"Hello, what a lovely little girl, I should have asked your grandfather to come and see you, but unfortunately he just went out. Fang's mother said with some regret.
"How old is Shin Shin this year?" Fang's mother then asked.
"Shin Shin is four years old this year. Xinxin said crisply, and then asked curiously, "Grandma, where do you live, isn't Daddy your baby, why don't you live with your baby?"
Fang's mother didn't react at first, and then laughed, "That's because my baby is disobedient, and when he grows up, his wings are stiff and he flies away!"
Fang Yuan: "......." β
"Okay, you go play with the kids, I'll talk to your grandmother. Fang Yuan removed his phone and said to the villain.
"Stinky boy, I still want to talk to my granddaughter, what do I have to say to you. Fang's mother said dissatisfied.
"What do I have to tell you?"
"Is there anything else? Do you have a son? Okay! The old lady underestimated you. β
"Mom......!"
"That's right, the baby was born abroad, the ID card and birth certificate are foreign, you can't go to kindergarten here, if you want to enter the Chinese nationality here, you must have the marriage certificate of both husband and wife, you know me and Lan Caiyi...... , so I wanted to ask Dad if there was a way. Fang Yuan explained.
Fang's mother thought for a while and said, "Although your father has retired, it should be no problem to find someone to give Xinxin a household registration." What's more, the documents are also complete, and there are many unmarried children in society now. Fang's mother could think about it.
Fang Yuan's father Fang Zhenzhong was originally a northerner, he served in the Qiongzhou Garrison Army when he was young, and he fell in love with Fang's mother when he was a soldier, and when he was demobilized, the army took into account his situation and let him stay in Qiongzhou, and became a grassroots policeman in Donghu Town, below Qiongzhou.
"Are you outside now? Seeing that the little girl is sweating profusely, I want her to drink more water. When Fang's mother said this, Fang Yuan was a little stunned, he seemed to have forgotten to bring water again.
"You said that you can't take care of yourself yourself, how can you take care of the child, I think I'll go over and help you take care of it. After all, it was his own son, as soon as Fang Yuan frowned, Fang's mother knew what he was thinking.
"Where are you coming to live, the house I rented is so big, don't you know?" Fang Yuan said casually.
When Fang's mother heard this, she was silent for a while and said, "I don't have any skills with your father, and I don't have the money to buy you a house, so I ......." β
"Mom, what are you talking about, I am already very grateful that you can raise me so big, I buy a house is my business, I will earn money to buy a house myself. β
"I'll go to your place with your dad to see Xinxin in two days. Fang's mother didn't say anything more, but her tone was a little low, and she hung up the phone without even saying goodbye to Xinxin.
Fang Yuan suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist, Fang's mother had been a teacher all her life, her salary had risen from one or two hundred yuan to two or three thousand now, barely enough to live, where was there any surplus, Father Fang Zhenzhong's salary had only been slightly higher in the past few years, when Fang Yuan went to college, it was still the money given by his grandfather.
Fang Yuan's grandfather is a native of Liangjia Village, Lushi, Liangjia Village is located at the foot of Luming Mountain, the most famous Youlong Bay in Lushi, the whole village makes a living from fishing, and Fang Yuan's grandfather is naturally no exception, but fishing is also a profession that depends on the sky to eat.
Grandpa's father, that is, Fang Yuan's grandfather once went out to sea to fish and never came back, grandma pulled grandpa alone, which is naturally hard to imagine, grandpa naturally became a fisherman when he grew up, and then married his grandmother, gave birth to Fang's mother Liang Huiru, when Fang's mother was seven years old, the husband and wife went out to sea to fish together, encountered a storm, and finally came back only grandfather.
Since then, my grandfather sold his boat, never went to the sea to fish again, contracted the back mountain to start planting fruits, and provided for Fang's mother to study, he no longer wanted his descendants to be fishermen, so Fang's mother eventually became a people's teacher, and naturally never went to the sea to fish.
More than ten years ago, Lushi vigorously developed tourism, and my grandfather's village was demolished, and the originally contracted hill was also requisitioned, so my grandfather received a large amount of compensation, of course, it was not a small amount at that time, and many people in the village took the money to buy a house in the city and start a business.
Because my grandfather was old, he didn't want to toss anymore, so he moved to Donghu Town to live with his daughter and son-in-law, just to help take care of Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan's grandfather's feelings about the sea are very complicated, it is awe, admiration, nostalgia, and hatred, he can't do without the sea, so after Youlong Bay was finally built a few years ago, he wanted to go to the original site of Liangjia Village to buy a house, only to find that he couldn't afford it at all.
At that time, Liangjia Village became a resort, and the hill contracted by my grandfather became a mid-mountain villa, with an average price of more than 70,000 per square meter, and a villa of tens of millions.
But Fang Yuan knew that this was a piece of his grandfather's heart disease, the old man had a saying that the fallen leaves returned to their roots, the older they were, the deeper their thoughts became, but they didn't even have roots, and finally their grandfather died of depression.
When Fang Yuan came to Lushi after graduation, he had the ambition of hoping that through his own struggle, he could buy a mid-mountain villa on Luming Mountain, but it can only be said that the students who did not leave the school were too naΓ―ve, and after a few years of tempering, his ambition finally turned into ambition, but he never let go of this idea.
