Chapter 161: Obtaining Certificates
Francis came home late and smelled of alcohol. Shen Yuxi was very dissatisfied, and said with a calm face: "Why do you drink again? When will you be able to remember it for a long time? Do you have to let people whisper in your ears every day, do you remember?"
Fang Jidong actually didn't drink much, it was just business on the wine table, and sometimes he couldn't shirk it. "I just had one drink and it won't be fine. ”
"It's too late when something happens, you promised to quit smoking and drinking. Shen Yuxi leaned in again, and a faint smell of tobacco entered his nose. "Smoking and drinking are not taboo at all, are they?
Fang Jidong suddenly felt warm in his heart, after a few years of cold and lonely life, he could finally hear someone nagging around him, and there was a person on the tip of his heart, waiting for him to come home.
He stretched out his hand, gently rubbed her smooth and delicate face, and spoke softly: "Got it, I'll pay attention to it later." ”
"I'm not trying to blame you, I'm just worried about your body. You must not have eaten on the wine table, okay, I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles. ”
"Good. ”
Shen Yuxi quickly cooked the noodles, and Fang Jidong barely ate anything at the meal. He has always liked the noodles made by Yuxi, and he ate them all after a while. After Yuxi finished cleaning up the kitchen, it was already late at night.
In the living room, Mr. Francis was still staring at his computer screen, presumably at work. Shen Yuxi warmed the milk and brought it to him, saying, "It's so late, isn't the work done yet?"
Fang Jidong looked back at her and took the milk from her hand. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and she hadn't seen him like this in a long time. He drank the milk in one go, gently put it on the coffee table, and said lightly: "There is still something to do, you go to sleep first." After saying that, he turned his head and continued his work.
Shen Yuxi sat on the sofa and did not move, staring at Fang Jidong, who was working hard, with his cheeks propped up. After a while, Fang Jidong took off his glasses and asked in a deep voice: "Why don't you go to sleep, why do you keep looking at me like this?
Shen Yuxi couldn't help blushing, and said softly: "I'm not sleepy, I didn't make any movement when I sat down, so I didn't hinder you." ”
Fang Jidong chuckled, turned his head and pinched her chin, and said, "Why didn't it hinder me, you stared at me without blinking, where do I still have the heart to work." ”
"If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?" Shen Yuxi refused to admit it.
With a slight force, Fang Jidong pulled her closer, and after saying a strong pout, he leaned over and took her lips, the tip of his tongue tracing the shape of her lips. There was still some smell of wine on his body, and Shen Yuxi felt drunk just by smelling it.
After a moment of greed, Shen Yuxi was already extremely sleepy, and Fang Jidong's arms were extremely secure, and she slept until eight o'clock in the morning before waking up. Francis was not in the room, she hurriedly washed up, changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Francis was sitting at the table eating breakfast, she walked over silently, and Francis served porridge for her. "I slept so late yesterday, I thought you'd get a little more sleep. ”
"I'm going to see my grandfather in the hospital in a while, so it's not good to get up too late. ”
"If you haven't recovered from your own cold, don't run to the hospital too often. It's better to rest at home and no one will blame you. Fang Jidong stirred the porridge in the bowl and took a sip for a long time.
"I'm fine. ”
Fang Jidong sent her to the hospital, there were still many things to do in the company, and he left without even entering the hospital gate. There were already people in Grandpa Fang's ward, it was Fang Li'an and Lu Yao, who had not seen each other for a long time, and they came over with their children on the weekend.
Fang Cheng has grown up and is in elementary school. It's been a long time, and I don't know her very well. After Lu Yao's reminder, he had some impressions. Fang Cheng walked up to her and said mischievously, "Should I call you sister or sister-in-law?"
Shen Yuxi blushed a little, and Grandpa Fang said on the side: "Call sister-in-law, and your brother will get married sooner or later." ”
Fang Cheng was still the same as before, with a sweet mouth, very good at coaxing people, and after a while, everyone laughed. Fang Ping'an was quiet, sitting on the sofa with a lollipop in his mouth, probably thinking that she was unfamiliar, and looked up at her curiously for a while.
Shen Yuxi walked over, touched his furry head, and asked with a smile, "You don't know me, do you?"
Fang Ping tilted his little head and looked at her carefully for a while, and said in a milky voice: "I don't know you, but I know you." ”
"Oh, we haven't met, how do you know me?" Fang Ping's words aroused Shen Yuxi's curiosity.
"I've been to my eldest brother's house and he has a picture of you in his house. ”
"How come I haven't seen it, in that house?"
"It's in the house where there are so many books. ”
It should be Francis's study, as if she hadn't entered the study since she came back. This made her more and more curious about what kind of photo Fang Jidong would put in the study.
When she went back in the evening, she went to the study to see that there was a photo frame on Fang Jidong's desk, and the photo in it was the two of them, and it was the one on Qianhu Mountain. She had almost deleted it. I didn't expect him to print it out and put it in a place where he could often see it.
When Fang Jidong returned, she had just cooked a meal. She told him to wash his hands, but Fang Jidong did not move.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Shen Yuxi as he set the dishes and chopsticks.
Fang Jidong suddenly came back to his senses, and then went to wash his hands. After eating, he sat in the living room and watched TV, which was still thunderous economic news. Shen Yuxi cut the fruit, carried the fruit bowl over, inserted it with a fork and handed it to his mouth. Fang Jidong did not eat, but looked at her with a strange expression.
Shen Yuxi's hand stopped in mid-air, a little embarrassed. She smiled slightly: "Why are you looking at me with such eyes, is there something wrong with me?"
He didn't speak, and gently bit down on the fruit on the fork. Then he took the fork from her hand and said, "I'll do it myself." ”
Soon it was Monday, and Shen Yuxi got up early. When Francis got up, she even had breakfast ready. Fang Jidong asked her, "Why do you get up so early?"
"Aren't you going to get your certificate today? There will be a lot of people if you go late, so it's better to go early and come back early." ”
Fang Jidong looked at her, as if thinking about something, and said after a while: "Do you want to think about it again, don't wronged yourself because of grandpa." ”
Shen Yuxi drank the porridge in a big gulp and didn't look at him: "I don't feel wronged by anything for my grandfather." ”
Fang Jidong stopped talking, but his face was not good-looking, he lowered his head and continued to eat, but he had no appetite anymore. She was willing to marry him and get a license, but not because of him, but for her grandfather.
They went out together with their documents, and when they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Shen Yuxi was about to open the door and get out of the car, when Fang Jidong suddenly locked the car door and said, "Have you already thought about it?" Are you sure you want to marry me?"
Shen Yuxi looked at him and waited quietly for him to say.
Fang Jidong pondered for a moment and said with difficulty: "Yuxi, I just want you to be willing, not for anything else. ”
After listening to him, Shen Yuxi lowered his head and did not speak, and raised his head again after a long time, his eyes were very firm. Francis added: "Of course, whether you like it or not, I will respect your opinion,"
After Fang Jidong finished speaking, she slowly spoke: "Fang Jidong, do you think that I agreed to marry you because of grandpa, right? But grandpa is fine now, and I don't need to marry you because of grandpa's request." I've been wondering, since grandpa is fine, should I marry you? I thought about it for a long time, and my answer was yes. I want to marry you and be with you forever. I don't want anyone but you. I will never find anyone in my life who loves me more than you. I just have to think about you getting married and having children in the future, and I feel very, very sad. I used to be wrong, willful and selfish, I only thought about how I felt in my heart, and I didn't think about your feelings at all. It has always been you who have taken care of me, protected me, tolerated me, and given me a superior life. So will I take care of you for the rest of your life? Mr. Francis, I solemnly ask you, will you marry me?"
Fang Jidong's eyes were slightly red, and he stroked her cheek and said, "Are you proposing to me now?"
Shen Yuxi nodded heavily and looked at him expectantly: "Then are you still willing to marry me?"
Time passed little by little, Shen Yuxi almost thought that he was going to reject her, and there was already a vague sense of loss in his heart, Fang Jidong finally spoke: "I am willing." ”
The process of obtaining the certificate was very fast, and Francis also said hello. When they got the big red marriage certificate, Shen Yuxi seemed to be dreaming. She became Mrs. Fang, she finally became Francis's wife, what an exciting thing.
They returned to the hospital together, and Grandpa Fang took their marriage certificate and looked at it over and over for a long time, his eyes narrowed and he smiled from ear to ear.
Fang Jidong said on the side: "Grandpa, the doctor said that you can also be discharged from the hospital today." ”
Fang Jidong completed the discharge procedures and was discharged from the hospital quickly. Back at the Fang family's compound, Xia Jingyi was having lunch with Aunt Chen. Seeing them come back, Xia Jingyi hurriedly came out of the kitchen and asked very happily, "Have you received the certificate?"
Shen Yuxi nodded, took out the marriage certificate from his bag and handed it to her. Xia Jingyi lifted her apron and wiped her hands, took it carefully, opened it and looked at it again, and said with a smile: "It's so good, it's finally done." ”
Shen Yuxi had incomprehensible doubts in her heart, she didn't know why Xia Jingyi's attitude towards her had changed so much. Obviously I wished she would disappear forever, but now I am gentle and kind to her, like her mother. Maybe in the past few years, Fang Jidong has refused to get married, Xia Jingyi is in a hurry.
When Fang Liwei came back from fishing outside, Grandpa Fang scolded with a slap on his face: "You know fishing and playing chess all day long, and you don't have to worry about your son's lifelong affairs." I'm all discharged, and you don't even show your face. Just the half-long fish you catch is not enough to stuff your teeth. Day by day, it's busier than you go to work. Last week, Fang Liwei had officially retired, but he didn't expect his spare time to be very rich, and he was not at home most of the day. It's either someone to play chess, walk birds, or go fishing.
Fang Liwei sent the fish in the bucket to the kitchen, and when he came out, the old god said, "Dad, isn't this worrying about you? I can't help much." ”
"If you could take care of it a little more, would I still have to worry about it?"
"Don't you always think I'm unreliable? ”
The two old men, together they are more than 150 years old, and they are very happy. Fang Jidong didn't seem to be surprised for a long time, but Shen Yuxi found it interesting and watched it with relish on the sidelines.
It wasn't until the meals were served on the table that Xia Jingyi came out to persuade them that they died down.
"Where is Fang Jibei, I am sick here, and I don't see him going to the hospital often. Didn't you let him rest at home? The injuries haven't healed yet, and he's going crazy everywhere. Grandpa Fang said with a frown.
"He said he was going to see his comrades, but I couldn't stop him. His injuries are no longer serious, so I will leave him alone. Happy today, don't be angry. Xia Jingyi replied.
The old man was indeed not too happy, he was discharged from the hospital, and no one came. Su Zhi and his family said that they had something to do today and would not be able to come until tomorrow. Fang Li'an returned to the army, and it was inconvenient for Lu Yao to come with the two children. If it weren't for Fang Jidong and Shen Yuxi getting their certificates today, he might have really had to get angry. When I think about it, I will be able to hold my great-grandson soon, and I can't help but be happy in my heart, and my days are getting more and more hopeful.
