"Don't mention them, who do you have to compare with them? Fang Shanmu pretended to be angry, but he was indeed a little unhappy, not against Sheng Chen, but at the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Fang Shanmu has an older brother, who is two years older than him, who works in Shimen and accompanies his parents. With his brother here, he usually saves him a lot of things, and from the perspective of taking care of his parents, he is very grateful to his brother.

"What did Dad say to you?" Sheng Chen's curiosity was aroused, "Did you say it behind my back and Mom?"

Sheng Chen guessed correctly, Fang Shanmu's father, Fang Yuanshan, asked Fang Shanmu to go out for a walk with him on the pretext of going out to smoke. On the streets, there are no crumbs of firecrackers, and the smell of vegetables wafting in the air is gone, except that vehicles and pedestrians are a little sparse.

If it weren't for the obvious New Year's atmosphere brought by the hanging lanterns and red couplets, Fang Shanmu would have been in a trance a little bit as to whether he would simply go home to visit his parents once or go home for the New Year.

The taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, hoping that the family affection will not be weakened, Fang Shanmu followed behind his father, looking at his father's increasingly rickety body and white hair, and felt sad inexplicably. Dad worked hard all his life and broke his heart for him and his brother. Later, he went to the capital, and his brother stayed with his father, it is said that his brother was not bad to his father, but there was one thing that made him very disliked, his brother and sister-in-law were not very diligent, and the two children were all left alone and thrown to their parents to take care of. From childhood to adulthood, after more than ten years, my parents didn't even have a chance to travel.

Sheng Chen also has a lot of opinions on this.

Several times Sheng Chen wanted to sign up for a tour group for his parents and let them go out for a walk, but his parents always couldn't let go of the children. On two occasions, I finally persuaded my parents to join the group, but after signing up and paying the money, I regretted it, and I was so angry that Sheng Chen counted down his eldest brother Fang Shanlin, saying that he was too selfish, and he only cared about his own ease and didn't consider how old his parents were.

It is true that the old people are sometimes too accommodating and indulgent to their offspring, always fearing that their children and grandchildren will be wronged a little, and would rather sacrifice all their time to accompany them. Fang Shanmu was also very dissatisfied with his parents for a while, and then he was relieved after a long time, as the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and vice versa, parents and parents like the current state of life, let them go, as long as they are at ease.

Fang Shanmu knew that his father had something to say, thinking that he wanted to talk about his eldest brother. The eldest brother and sister-in-law have a bad relationship with each other, and often quarrel and divorce, in the words of their parents, if they didn't help take care of the children, they would have divorced a long time ago.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Fang Shanmu also knew that he had signed up for the last two tours and paid for them, and finally quit the group, because he heard that his parents were going out to play, and his sister-in-law quit, so he quarreled with his eldest brother, saying that she wouldn't watch the children anyway, so let the eldest brother watch it. Mom and Dad couldn't bear to watch them make trouble, so they had to grieve themselves.

Fang Shanmu was extremely dissatisfied with this, it was precisely because of the repeated connivance of his parents that his sister-in-law always had to make inches and repeatedly threatened each other with quarrels. The eldest brother is honest, and every time he quarrels, he is so angry that he wants to divorce, but he is persuaded by his parents. In the minds of my parents, divorce is an extremely shameful thing, as long as I don't die, I can live a life.

The eldest brother is very distressed and wants to divorce, but he is afraid of making his parents angry. But he really can't stand his daughter-in-law's laziness and ignorance, Fang Shanmu has a hard time understanding the mood of the eldest brother, the eldest brother's current tragedy is actually half due to his parents. Parents still think that they are dedicated to the good of their eldest brother, and sometimes the influence of the times on the formation of personal concepts is decisive and difficult to change.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Dad opened his mouth, he was startled.

"Yamaki, do you think your parents are doing the right thing in your eldest brother's affairs?"

Fang Shanmu was still hesitating how to answer, but his father's words made him embarrassed and a little more uneasy!

Parents have been reflecting on their attitudes towards the marriage of their eldest brother and sister-in-law, and once thought that regardless of them, let them decide whether to continue or divorce, and the affairs of their children and grandchildren must be decided by themselves. But when it came time to let go, they regretted it again, because they were worried that the eldest brother would make a bad start, which would affect Fang Shanmu's marriage. In the eyes of parents, the marriage genes of a family are similar, and if they are all happily married, the whole family will be happy. If there is a divorce, there will be a ripple effect among the immediate family.

Although Fang Shanmu didn't believe his father's conclusion, he was grateful for his father's worries.

"Shanmu, don't look smaller than the mountains and forests, but you have more experience and insight than him, and you and Sheng Chen have always been very affectionate. When I was a child, my father often said that brothers should think well and let the big let the small. In the family, if you want to do well, you have to empathize. Sheng Chen is at home with children and has never worked, not to mention that she has cultivated such an excellent grandson for the Fang family, not to mention how thoughtful she has taken care of you in all aspects of life over the years. I dare say that without her, you won't be able to take care of yourself......"

Fang Shanmu's heart jumped suddenly, his father's words seemed to mean something, and when he wanted to ask clearly, his father turned around and went home.

"Let's go, go home. The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, don't always feel how good the outside world is, the most stable place for people is still at home. ”

Well, Dad saw a subtle change in the relationship between him and Sheng Chen, but thought that he had something on his mind outside, Fang Shanmu couldn't cry and laughed, and wanted to explain, but Dad didn't give him a chance.

"Dad's eyes are bright, and he thinks you may have bad thoughts, so I give you a nod. Sheng Chen respects Fang's father very much, mainly because Fang's father and Fang's mother are very good to her, it should be that all their dissatisfaction and resentment with their sister-in-law have turned into love and transferred to her.

"You think too much, you really think too much, knowing a son is better than a father, and Dad knows what kind of person I am. Since I was a child, he asked me to memorize "Zhu Zi's Family Motto", and I can still recite some of these passages until now......" Fang Shanmu shook his head and smiled, "Don't camp a Chinese house, don't seek a good field, three aunts and six women, a real matchmaker for adultery and thieves; Child servants should not be handsome, and wives and concubines should not wear makeup......"

Sheng Chen yawned loudly and interrupted Fang Shanmu: "Okay, okay, don't drop the bookbag, I'm sleepy, sleep for a while." ”

After a while, Sheng Chen fell asleep. At first, she was still stiff, but then she fell asleep, her neck was crooked, she leaned on Fang Shanmu's shoulder, and her hands subconsciously hugged Fang Shanmu's arm, revealing a satisfied expression.

"Mom is asleep?" Xiang Dong didn't know where to play, came back, and whispered, "What are you talking about, it seems that things are going well, and she is willing to sleep with your arm again?"

"Little brat, you know a! Fang Shanmu feigned anger.

"I also slept for a while, and when I got to my grandfather's house, I had to play for a long time, so I must be tired. Xiang Dongcai was not afraid of Fang Shanmu, hugged his shoulders with his hands, and fell asleep with his head tilted.

Fang Shanmu was also sleepy, and he didn't squint for a long time, and was woken up by WeChat. He was a little annoyed why he forgot to mute, and when he opened it, he saw that it was Gu Hao's news.

"How did you discuss the matter of giving birth to a second child with Sheng Chen? My family Jiangbian refused to agree to anything, but he didn't completely say that he was dead, and he left a mouth, probably because he wanted to see my performance......"

Again, there is no consensus for the time being. With my current relationship with her, it is impossible for her to have a child with peace of mind. Fang Shanmu thought for a while, and then asked, "Jiangbian wants to start a business with Sheng Chen, you must be in favor of it, but would you rather her have children or start a business?"

"Entrepreneurship is in favor of both hands, and having children is full support, but entrepreneurship and having children are irreconcilable contradictions, and I am also very entangled, and I can't influence Jiangbian's decision. In any case, whether it is having a child or starting a business, it will divert their energy and will not allow them to focus all their attention on us. By the way, you can't guess who I'm getting together with during the Chinese New Year?"

Fang Shanmu deliberately didn't reply to Gu Hao, he knew that he was selling Guanzi, and after waiting for a while, Gu Hao took the initiative to send a message: "It's really boring, and I won't cooperate, okay, I said it myself, it's Zhou Xiao." ”

Sure enough, it was him, Fang Shanmu's heart tightened, he actually guessed who it was, after all, he and Gu Hao had known each other for a long time, but there were not many mutual friends, and they were all colleagues from the former company.

"You were all fired from the company, and you were embarrassed to eat with Zhou Xiao, what are you talking about?" Fang Shanmu pretended to be careless, but he actually wanted to know.

"It's not that I want to get together, it's Zhou Xiao's wife Yang Mei who was invited by the riverside, she and Yang Mei are best friends, and the two families had a meal together. didn't talk about any in-depth topics, but I also learned that Jiangbian had known Yang Mei for many years, and she was also very familiar with Zhou Xiao. ”

Fang Shanmu was shocked in his heart, Jiangbian's relationship network was even bigger and more complicated than he imagined: "You don't feel embarrassed? Haha! Since Jiangbian and Zhou Xiao have such a good relationship, why did they fire you in the first place." Take a hundred steps back, even if you are fired, you can adopt a quiet strategy, so as not to make a fuss and discredit you in the entire Internet industry. ”

"Zhou Xiao explained to me, saying that he was also involuntarily and was ordered by the headquarters. You know the structure of our group company best, although Zhou Xiao is the chairman, but in the group headquarters, it is only a senior executive sequence, and the level is A10, which is several levels away from the highest A14. Although the group company said that it was a dual-headquarters strategy, who didn't know that the headquarters of Jinling was the headquarters, and the headquarters of the capital was just a branch. ”

Fang Shanmu has always only believed half of Gu Hao's words, he believes that the party with Zhou Xiao is the result of Jiangbian's promotion, with Gu Hao's ability and discredited and notorious in the company, Zhou Xiao will not be willing to have any private contact with him.
