Chapter 408, Pull Hatred!

Ran and broke his leg on the first day of the new year.

According to the custom in the north, every year on the first day of the new year, I go to the homes of my fellow villagers and neighbors to celebrate the New Year. First go to the village with the highest seniority, then to the oldest, and then to your relatives, friends, neighbors, and partners.

In the past, Fang Yixing went door-to-door on behalf of the Fang family, some people comforted him, some people made fun of him, and some people dragged Fang Yixing to have a trick with Fang Yixing.

It is a well-known thing that Fang Yixing doesn't like kung fu and abandons martial arts, isn't it intentional to insult others by pulling Fang Yixing to compete with him?

Fang Yixing could only excuse himself repeatedly, and then let others make fun of him for a while. The Fang family's momentum is gradually falling,

This year, Fang Huwei opened his mouth and asked Fang Yan to follow Fang Yixing to celebrate the New Year. The old man spoke, and Fang Yan couldn't be disobedient, so he had to get up early, wearing the cyan robe and mille-feuille boots that his mother had prepared for him in advance. The boots are made in an antique style, in order to prevent the deep snow outside from pouring into the shoes and wetting the socks.

Fang Yixing still wears simple round cloth shoes, and the head of the family must always have the style of an elegant elder. Even the cold has to be endured. This is called demeanor, not temperature.

The most respected person in Yanziwu is Mr., and the whole Yanziwu people have to go to Mr. to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. first. The Ye family is known as the first in Swallow Dock, and their family has to send someone as a representative to congratulate Mr. on the New Year.

Fang Yan followed behind Fang Yixing with the gift box, and the father and son walked towards the hut where Mr. lived in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

When the father and son walked over, there were already quite a few people in front of them.

The gentleman finally took off the gray-brown old leather jacket on his body and changed into a silver-white Tang dress. He sat upright on a mahogany chair in the living room, bowing to the young and children. There are also some middle-aged people who kneel down and kowtow, but most of them bend down and bow.

After the children kowtowed, they presented the gift box in their hands.

Bai Xiu, who was standing next to Mr., took the gift box, and Mr. reached out to touch the child's head and said, "You can go to the clan to learn enlightenment." ”

So the child kowtowed again. The child's parents also thanked them with joy on their faces.

Some children who are already studying in the clan will also give gift boxes, and the gentleman patted the student's head and said, "There is more than cleverness, but there is not enough patience." You should use your family to learn the stone to hone the qi method and polish the mind. ”

Students bow their heads and are taught, and parents should also express their gratitude.

All unenlightened children in Swallow Wood must be approved by Mr. to enter the school, and students who are already studying will be commented by Mr. and point out the advantages and disadvantages and point out the solutions to the problems.

Fang Yan and Fang Yixing stood outside the house, it was cold, and the father and son didn't feel cold. Fang Yan watched the line behind him getting longer and longer, and said with a smile: "Sir, isn't this an industry monopoly? Our Yanziwu is a clan school, and all school-age children must be approved by him to go to school---- his job is to ensure income in drought and flood." ”

Fang Yixing glanced at Fang Yan sternly and said, "Hugh has to talk nonsense. Sir is dedicated to the public, what is the value of a bundle of gifts? According to me, you should come to thank Mr. every New Year's Day. ”

Fang Yan was helpless, his father was too old-fashioned. It's just joking when you're bored.

Not only his father, but also many people in Yanziwu have developed this kind of one-sided problem. This is also the reason why Mr. has always emphasized that every family must send some children with excellent qualifications out, and it is also the reason why Ye Daoling wants to bring out some outstanding young people.

Only with a big vision can we have a big heart and a big vision. It's not a good thing for Swallow Dock to keep to itself, and there are many things outside that are the essence. Take its essence and discard the dross, this is the status quo that Yanziwu needs to change the most.

Fang Yan understood, so he went out.

Fang Yixing may also understand, but his character cannot be cultivated overnight, but he is rumbling forward by the stereotypes in the village, and he is unwilling to make new changes.

Finally it was the turn of the Fang family's father and son, Fang Yixing and Fang Yan both knelt down and kowtowed to Mr. seriously.

After Fang Yixing said auspicious words on behalf of the Fang family, Fang Yan presented the gift box in his hand.

The gentleman looked at Fang Yan with a smile and said, "Your kid is too slippery, and he usually can't catch a bang from your kid." ”

Fang Yan said very aggrievedly: "Sir, this has wronged me. When was the Spring Festival not allowed me to come to kowtow to you? If you're too little, I'll give you a few more?"

Mr. was very happy to see Fang Yan and said, "Kowtow will be spared." You kid has three hearts and a dozen guts, I don't have anything to say to you, and I have nothing to teach you. Remember that the agreement between you and me has come true. ”

Fang Yan nodded seriously and said, "Sir, I remember. ”

The gentleman looked at Fang Yixing and said, "Yixing has a good son." ”

Fang Yixing's face flushed, and he thanked him again and again.

From the beginning to the end, he never mentioned the sword he had lost.

Mr. didn't say it, and Fang Yan wouldn't take the initiative to talk about it.

Both pretended that it had never happened.

Bai Xiu looked at Fang Yan with a gentle smile, and also looked at everyone.

After Fang Yan got up from the ground, he said to Bai Xiu, "If you are tired of standing, let me stand for you for a while." ”

Bai Xiu indifferently refused and said, "There is something to do, and the disciple will obey him." As a disciple, you naturally have to do your best. ”

Fang Yan was helpless, Bai Xiu's words were tantamount to poking at Fang Yan's pain point.

Bai Xiu is a disciple of Mr., but Fang Yan is not a disciple of Mr.

Bai Xiu was able to be a teacher in the clan study, but Fang Yan did not have the opportunity to be a teacher in the clan study.

Mr. taught Bai Xiu what he had learned in his life, and Bai Xiu was the successor of Mr. What he said was above board, and others really couldn't compete with him for this position.

After leaving from Mr., Fang Yixing took Fang Yan and rushed towards the Ye family.

The ancestor of the Ye family is now the oldest person in Yanziwu, and the Ye family is also a family that is relatively close to the Fang family. There is also the secret instruction of the old man Fang Huwei, and Fang Yixing naturally will not oppose his father's intentions.

When the father and son of the Fang family passed, Ye Fengsheng, who looked like a giant Fu doll in a red cotton Tang costume, was about to go out, and when he saw Fang Yan, he said happily: "Why did you get up so early? I also said that I would go and kowtow to your grandfather Fang after kowtowing to my husband." ”

"I was also forcibly pulled up. Fang Yan said with a smile. "I've already been there, sir, and now I'm here to kowtow to my ancestors. ”

In fact, it was said that he came to kowtow to the ancestors of the Ye family, but the ancestors of the Ye family were reluctant to meet guests all these years. So it's just a formality at the Ye family.

"We just missed it. Ye Fengsheng said regretfully.

"Where's the third uncle?"

"The third uncle rushed back to Yanjing overnight after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner last night, and today he will accompany the minister of state to visit abroad. Ye Fengsheng said.

Ye Daowen walked out of the door, saw the father and son of the Fang family, and said, "Yixing, happy New Year." Fang Yan, Happy New Year. ”

"Brother Ye, Happy New Year. Fang Yixing and Ye Daowen clasped their fists and saluted.

"Uncle, I'm here to greet you. Fang Yan said with a smile. "I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan. ”

Ye Daowen waved his hand and said, "These words are for the ancestors to hear. The old ancestor just spoke, saying that your father and son came and went directly to the warm pavilion. I won't entertain you, and I have to go and celebrate the New Year with my husband. ”

Fang Yixing was overjoyed and said, "Brother Ye go and get busy, let's go to Nuan Pavilion to kowtow to the old ancestor." ”

So, the two groups of people separated at the gate of the courtyard.

Fang Yixing sighed with emotion, and whispered to Fang Yan: "This time, I stained your light." In the past, I came to kowtow to my ancestors during the Spring Festival, and I never entered the warm pavilion. ”

"Maybe the old ancestor happened to be in a particularly good mood this year. Fang Yan said with a smile.

Fang Yixing glanced at his son with a smile and did not speak. I thought to myself, maybe what my father said was really feasible.

It's the attitude of the Ye family brothers---- I'm afraid it's not easy to pass this level.

The father and son of the Fang family entered the warm pavilion, and the ancestor of the Ye family, Ye Wenrou and the maid Xi'er sat on the kang and played long cards.

Fang Yixing took the lead in kneeling down and kowtowed to the ancestor three times. And said a whole lot of blessings.

Lao Tzu knelt down, how could his son stand? Fang Yan also hurriedly knelt behind Fang Yixing.

When the father and son of the Fang family knelt down, Ye Wenrou and the girl Xi'er stepped aside. The father and son of the Fang family knelt for the ancestors, and the two of them couldn't afford it.

"Alright, alright, get up. The old ancestor squinted his eyes and smiled. "Listening to you all day long, who can live longer than a mountain? Isn't that a living fossil?"

"Ancestor, some mines have been hollowed out in three or two years. Fang Yan said. "You've outlived the mountains much longer. ”

The old ancestor couldn't help but laugh out loud, pointed at Fang Yan and said, "If you beat this leather monkey, you will know how to make me happy." ”

"It's because I'm not disciplined well, and my ancestors don't want to be like these children. Fang Yixing smiled and apologized. He could also see that the old ancestor was not really angry with Fang Yan.

"How can a child be managed if he or she becomes a child? That is taught. The old ancestor said. "Fang Yan, this kid is very good. Whether it's our swallow dock or outside, it's a first-class talent. At dinner last night, the third child praised him fiercely. ”

The third elder mentioned by the ancestor is Ye Daoling, the third tiger of the three tigers of the Ye family, Ye Daoling praised Fang Yan when he had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, first, he really thanked Fang Yan for his help, and also had the meaning of encouraging the children of the Ye family to work hard.

No wonder Fang Yan saw those people from the Ye family looking at him when he came in just now, his eyes were a little wrong, as if he had stolen their chickens to make an 'ambush on all sides'.

However, have you considered Fang Yan's feelings in doing so?

In Fang Yan's opinion, Ye Daoling, the old fox, was properly pulling hatred for him.
