Chapter 6: Returning Home (2)
Not long after, Fang Hongmin came back with his father Fang Haisheng, and the two of them carried all kinds of bags in their hands. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Dad!" Fang Yifan hurriedly stood up and shouted.
"Ugh." Fang Haisheng responded, handed the bag in his hand to Fang's mother, looked at his son carefully, and asked, "Yifan, when did you return to China?" I won't go abroad again when I come back this time. ”
"I'm not going abroad, Dad. I returned to China the day before yesterday, and now I have found a job in Shanghai and started working. The leaders of the company are very important to me, and they specially sent Master Lin Wanguo to send me back when I came back this time. ”
After thanking Lin Wanguo, Fang Haisheng advised: "Okay." Do a good job, don't let down the weight of others. ”
"I know, Dad."
At this time, Fang Hongmin interjected and asked, "Brother, how many days are you going to stay when you go home this time?" ”
"A week or so. How about it, do you want to go to Shanghai with my brother to have a look? Fang Yifan patted Fang Hongmin's head dotingly and asked.
"Forget it this time. Brother, you've just started working, I can't delay your time. Next year, I'll definitely go and see it next summer. ”
"Then it's settled."
Fang Haisheng listened to the lesson of his daughter: "The boss is not too young, and he still wants to play." Go, go over and help your mom cook. ”
Fang Hongmin stuck out her tongue at her father, got up and went to the kitchen.
"Let Master Lin smile."
"There, Master Fang, this shows that their brother and sister have a good relationship, and others can't envy them if they want to."
"Yifan, you come back to see us and report our safety, there is no need to stay at home for so long. Work matters. ”
Lin Wanguo listened and interjected: "Master Fang, you don't know, Xiao Fang's job is a designer, and he doesn't have to stay in the office to work, even if he is at home, he can still work for the company." ”
"Oh, it can be like that." Fang Haisheng did not continue the topic.
With Fang Hongmin's help, dinner was quickly prepared.
Lin Wanguo accompanied the Fang family to sit around eating and drinking, and through conversation, he had a basic understanding of the other family.
This is an ordinary farmer's home: in addition to being busy with farm work in the fields, Fang Haisheng will follow the plasterer to work part-time to supplement the family when he is free; Fang's mother was not in good health and stayed at home to take care of the housework; Fang Hongmin is now a senior in college.
Looking at the situation of the Fang family, Lin Wanguo knew that in order to support the two college students and Fang's mother, who had never been in good health, she must have lived a very poor life.
At the end of the meal, Lin Wanguo got up to say goodbye, and Fang Yifan accompanied him to the town government hotel to check in. "Xiao Fang, go back quickly, you haven't been home for four years, your parents must have a lot to say to you. You don't have to worry about me later, I'll just walk around the town and get to know your customs here. It is not easy for them to spend time with their families. If you want to use a car, feel free to call me. ”
"Okay, Lao Lin, then I won't accompany you, drive for a day, rest early." Fang Yifan took his leave.
Back at home, my parents and sister were still waiting, and the family of four sat around and talked freely......
Early the next morning, Fang Yifan pushed out his father's bicycle and said to Fang's mother, who was about to go out to buy vegetables: "Mom, I'll go see Gao Qiang, I won't come back for dinner at noon, don't go grocery shopping." ”
"Gao Qiang? Oh, he's married and has children, you bring some gifts for the little ones, you can't go to the house empty-handed. ”
"Got it, Mom, I'll go to the supermarket and buy some." Fang Yifan said as he stepped on the bicycle and rode up.
"Be careful on the road and remember to come back early for dinner." Fang's mother advised.
"Got it." Fang Yifan waved his hand and rode away.
Gao Qiang, a native of Qincun, Shizhen, Fang Yifan's tablemate in the second and third years of junior high school, his best friend, had poor academic performance, and did not study again after graduating from junior high school.
Riding more than ten miles to Qin Village, Fang Yifan specially passed in front of Qin Lianhua's house, looked inside, and did not see a figure.
When I came to the vicinity of Gao Qiang's house in my impression, the original broken grass house was gone, replaced by three bright tiled houses.
"Is this a Gao Qiang family?" Seeing a young woman drying clothes at the door, Fang Yifan stepped forward to inquire.
"yes, who are you, do you have something to do with him?"
"My name is Fang Yifan, and I am his classmate."
"Fang Yifan? Oh, I remember, he used to talk about the guy who studied in the United States. Are you back from studying abroad? I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Chen Yulan, and I am Gao Qiang's daughter-in-law. Please come in, please come in. Gao Qiang, your classmates are coming to you. Chen Yulan was busy entertaining Fang Yifan into the house, and at the same time called Gao Qiang loudly.
"Who is it, you need to shout so much." Hearing his daughter-in-law call him, Gao Qiang walked out of the room.
"Gao Qiang, it's me, Fang Yifan."
"Ahh Yifan, it's you. You're finally willing to come back. Gao Qiang stepped forward and gave Fang Yifan a bear hug. Count your boy with a conscience, and when you come back, you know to come and see me. Come on, get inside the house. ”
Fang Yifan took the milk bought from the supermarket from the car and entered the house with Gao Qiang.
"Yulan, you go to the vegetable market to buy some wine and food, and I want to have a few drinks with Yifan today."
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry today. But don't listen to Gao Qiang, just prepare some peanuts. ”
"When you get to my house, you don't care, tell me about your situation in the past few years."
The two chatted while drinking tea, listening to each other's experiences, and sighing from time to time.
"Gao Qiang, is Qin Lianhua at home, they are all classmates, and they haven't seen each other for several years, why don't you invite her over to get together?" Fang Yifan asked tentatively. Fang Yifan's relationship with Qin Lianhua was a secret between the two, and none of the other classmates noticed it.
"Qin Lianhua is not at home, and I haven't seen her for nearly four years."
"What's the matter, isn't she from the same village as you, how could she not have met?"
"The last time I saw her was the second month after you left the country. When I met her that morning, she was dragging a suitcase, her eyes were red, and she looked dazed. I greeted her, but she didn't respond. She hasn't been home since. Gao Qiang said as he recalled the scene at that time.
"It's all from the same village, you should know the approximate reason, right?"
"Speaking of which, it has something to do with her background. In fact, Qin Lianhua is not their own daughter, she was adopted by her parents after his brother was disabled by polio. ”
"Ahh So there is such a thing? When she was in school, she felt that her parents and brother had always treated her very well, and she really couldn't tell that she was raised. Fang Yifan was shocked when she heard this information, Lotus didn't tell him about it, and it is estimated that she didn't know it at that time.
"Actually, my fathers all know about this, and no one has mentioned it when they see that their family is very good to her, and I don't know how Qin Lianhua knows."
"Why do you say that?"
"Qin Lianhua left crying, there were still people in the village to see her, and when she went to her house to inquire, her parents said that she had found her biological parents and went to them."
Fang Yifan didn't speak after hearing this, but he was suspicious in his heart: Lianhua is not this kind of person, it is impossible for her to abandon her parents who have raised her for more than 20 years.
"Qin Lianhua is definitely not this kind of person. However, this is a family matter, and since her parents have said so, no one has asked about it anymore. However, her brother has a lot of opinions about her parents, and after Qin Lianhua left, Qin Ming made a lot of noise at home, clamoring to find his sister. If it weren't for the lame left leg and his family not letting him out, I'm afraid he would have been looking for him everywhere a long time ago. Because of this, Qin Ming ignored his parents for a long time, moved to the town and opened a cake shop, and rarely went home. Although he is better now, he has nothing to do and rarely comes back. ”
"Her brother probably knows. Their brother and sister are so affectionate, maybe she will write to her brother. ”
"It doesn't seem to be. If Qin Ming knew his sister's whereabouts, he wouldn't have been haunted by his parents. ”
"Forget it, don't talk about it, I hope her life is good. Gao Qiang, come, do one. "I didn't get any news of Qin Lianhua from Gao Qiang, so Fang Yifan could only give up for the time being.
After accompanying Gao Qiang to drink to the fullest, leaving his phone number and inviting the couple to Shanghai as guests, Fang Yifan rode back.
In the middle of the night, Fang Yifan couldn't sleep while lying on the bed: Lotus, where are you, how can I find you? I've already returned home early, do you know? What should I do, and what should I do? Yes, I want to be famous, I must be famous! That way, you'll be able to hear about my return and come to me!
