71. Showdown
Fang's father was like an arrow, and after arriving in Jingcheng, he called Fang's sister-in-law, and went back to the fishing village directly, without staying in Jingcheng.
When I arrived at the fishing village, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the village was silent, and the occasional barking of dogs made this quiet small fishing village exude a fresh atmosphere.
After getting out of the car, when his feet stepped on the familiar land and his nose smelled the smell of the sea that was so ripe that it had been carved into his bones, Dad Fang really had a feeling of going home.
No matter where he goes, how far he goes, he is always the simple and hearty fisherman in his bones, no matter how prosperous and beautiful the outside, he is just a passerby, only this remote and quiet fishing village is his home.
The five-story small bungalow at the entrance of the village was lit up, and the warm light under the corridor shone on a small distance. ”
Lao Hu was the one who bought the small western-style building back then, and later Fang Jing bought the small western-style building back from him.
Fang Jing stood at the gate of the courtyard and said, "Dad, I forgot to tell you, I bought this house back, and now this house belongs to our family." ”
As he spoke, he pushed open the door of the courtyard, and the spacious courtyard was full of flowers, and at this time, many flowers and plants had withered, and only some evergreen ornamental plants such as poinsettia pothos were lush and verdant.
"The yard is beautifully kept." Father Fang nodded appreciatively, if the prosthetic leg brought him the joy of rebirth, then the renovated small western-style building was a complete in another sense.
"Good, good." He touched a pothos leaf, turned his head to look at the hazy small western-style building in the light, and said three good words in a row, "Son, you are much more capable than me." ”
Fang's mother was more careful, and when she saw the nine-square signboard hanging on the door, she was a little puzzled: "Xiao Jing, what does this nine-square mean?" "Can't you still name your house?
"Mom, I bought the small western-style building back and opened a small farmhouse, Jiufang is the name of the farmhouse, and there are people living in it! Now Chi Chi is taking care of it, I guess he should be asleep at this time, it's too late for you and Dad to be tired, let's go back to sleep first, and come back tomorrow to see Chi Chi. Fang Jing saw that Fang Xiaole's eyelids had been fighting, and the child would not grow tall if he didn't sleep well.
"Hey, okay." Father Fang nodded heavily, reluctantly touched the signboard, and left the small courtyard with three steps and a turn with a mechanical prosthetic.
His leg is healed, and the house has been bought back by his son, and the days to come will definitely get better and better.
The room at home was cleaned by Aunt Gen, and there was no dust at all.
Fang Xiaole's room is now where Xiao Ze lives, although Xiao Ze often sees the dragon and has not come back for several days, but his bag is still stuffed in the cabinet, Fang Jing didn't move, and asked Fang Xiaole to sleep in the room where Fang's mother lived before.
Fang's father and they sat on the plane for more than ten hours, and they were so tired that they couldn't do it, especially Fang's father, although the mechanical intelligent prosthetic on his leg was easy to use, but in fact, the main control system was connected to the nerves, and the nerves were stimulated, and the run-in period was very painful.
Fang Jing was lying in the quilt, a little excited and couldn't sleep, although it was already two o'clock in the morning, he was still in good spirits.
Cen Jiu ran out to practice for a while before going to bed as usual, checked the doors and windows, and then returned to the room.
"Come and sleep, the quilt is already warm." Fang Jing moved to the inside of the bed, patted the position next to him and greeted him.
Cen Jiu decisively jumped on the bed in three or two steps, lifted the quilt and got in.
Fang Jing habitually hugged him, but Cen Jiu moved out.
"I just came back from outside, and I'm cold." Cen Jiu stretched out his hand, wrapped Fang Jing in the quilt, held him in his arms through the quilt, and sighed with satisfaction.
"I'll cover you." Fang Jing struggled, lifted the quilt aside, grabbed Cen Jiu's hand and put it on his stomach, the cold hand just touched the warm belly, Fang Jing was shivered by the ice, Cen Jiu hurriedly ran the internal force, the internal force flowed, and after a while, the cold body warmed up.
Fang Jing decisively held the Cen Jiupai heater, and the whole person pasted it, thinking that this is okay, it is so convenient.
"If you use internal force like this, will it be bad for your health?"
"No, I'm measured." Cen Jiu collected his internal strength and saved the quilt for Fang Jing.
Measured? In other words, it's still harmful to the body!
Fang Jing thought to himself, after the New Year, he would go to the next mountain, visit the old Chinese medicine doctor, and give Cen Jiu a few medicines to recuperate his body.
The cold wind howled outside the window, but the small interior was warm and bright. The two of them hugged each other in the quilt, but they didn't have any beautiful thoughts, only talking without a match, Fang Jing's excitement passed, drowsiness swelled up, and he soon fell asleep.
The next day, as usual, Cen Jiu, who slept later than the dog and got up earlier than the chicken, got up first, practiced in the yard for a while, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Fang's father and Fang Xiaole were still jet-lagged, and the room was quiet.
Fang Jing smelled the fragrance of rice, ran to the kitchen with a toothbrush in his mouth, and asked, "What do you eat in the morning?" ”
"After boiling shrimp porridge, what else do you want to eat, I'll buy it?" It's only seven or eight miles from the town to Dongzhuang, and it won't take him much time to run back and forth, so it will be hot to ensure that it will be bought back.
"I haven't finished eating the kimchi made by Aunt Gen last time, let's eat some casually, my parents are going to have jet lag, I don't think they will get up, and we will cook well at noon." Having said that, Fang Jing knew that Cen Jiu had a big appetite, and he estimated that he would not be able to eat enough just to drink porridge in the morning, so he specially cut two slices of bacon, fried the toppings, and cooked him a big bowl of noodles.
After breakfast, Aunt Gen called Cen Jiu to the farmhouse to help.
The New Year is coming soon, the last two guests of the farmhouse also packed their packages and checked out to go home for the New Year yesterday, the farmhouse is idle, Uncle Gen and Aunt Gen decided to take advantage of the time when there are no guests now, and thoroughly clean the farmhouse inside and out.
Fang Jing ran over and overheated for a while, but not only did he not help, but he was driven out by Aunt Gen in disgust because he was in the way.
"Really, is this a waste of people who have been used?" Fang Jing said stupidly.
was kicked out of the farmhouse, Fang's father and they were all sleeping, Fang Jing blew the cold wind outside for a while, and sighed about his homeless desolate situation, and finally ran to the dock to accompany Alicia.
Although Alicia is well-maintained, it is an old ship in the end, and she is not young, and when she is not at sea, Fang Jing has to go on the ship to inspect it every once in a while, and she is more careful than her own wife.
Of course, Cen Jiu is his boyfriend, not his wife, so Fang Jing has no pressure at all when he says this.
In the Fang family's old house, Fang's father woke up because of discomfort in his legs, and the sky was already bright. Mother Fang slept next to him, and her perennially tired face was rarely completely stretched out at this time, and she could sleep peacefully at ease.
When he was doing rehabilitation in Mi Guo, in order to save money, he and Fang's mother finally returned the apartment rented by Li Junxin, and rented another apartment that was only half the size, although the conditions were worse, but the price was much cheaper.
In order to take care of him, Fang's mother first made a bunk in front of his bed, and then slowly adapted, Fang's mother slept on the bed, and after a few months, both of them were used to sleeping in the same room.
"For so many years, you have suffered with me." Father Fang said in a low voice and got up lightly.
There was porridge on the stove in the kitchen, and Dad Fang ate a few bites indiscriminately, without alarming others, walking slowly in the village alone, and after being able to walk freely, even the sea breeze that he had been familiar with all his life became extraordinarily kind.
He stood at the door of the farmhouse for a while, and when he saw that the people inside were busy, he did not alarm anyone, and left quietly.
They only came back last night, and few people in the village knew that they were coming back, so Fang's father walked and walked, and his two legs seemed to be conscious, and he went directly to the dock.
Then, Dad Fang's eyes widened, and his expression was extremely excited.
What a big tugboat!
But after a few months, someone in the village actually bought such a large tugboat!
Fang's father was still thinking about which family in the village had made a fortune and could afford such a large tugboat, when he saw a figure briskly come out of the cabin.
This, this, this...... Isn't this man his son?
Could it be that his son bought this boat?!
Father Fang was messy in the whirring cold wind.
"Hey, Dad, why did you get here? What about Mom and Xiaole? Fang Jing jumped down from the boat and saw Father Fang's straight figure in the cold wind, and he was so envious.
His father wore less clothes than him when he was old, and he was actually more cold-resistant than him, but on the other hand, he was wearing a thick down jacket, and he was young and strong and frozen like a quail.
"Who bought this boat?" Straightened his son's collar, Fang's father asked with a smile.
When he got home, Dad Fang's love continued to rise, he was full of energy, and his whole body seemed to be inexhaustible.
Fang Jing put up the collar, retracted his neck into the collar, and said in a humming voice: "I forgot to tell you, I bought a boat." ”
"This, this, this...... Did you really buy the boat? Father Fang's hands trembled, just guessing, but the result really confirmed that his son bought such a big guy, the impact was really not ordinary, he had to slow down first.
In his life, the biggest regret was that in order to repay his debts, he had to pay off the boat and the house that had been with him for many years, so that his wife and children could only live in a dilapidated old house.
If last night's farmhouse brought Fang's father an unexpected surprise, then the news of the tugboat now is no less than a thunderbolt, setting off a storm in his heart.
"How much did it cost?" First it was a small western-style building, and now it is a tugboat, adding up to a few millions, his son's job he knows, a few thousand yuan a month, it's good to be able to eat and dress warmly, but that's it, don't think about anything else.
In just a few months, where did Fang Jing get so much money?
"I quit my job and started an ocean exploration company, and I will focus on salvage work from then on. Cen Jiu and I were lucky, we went out casually last time, fished something up, sold it for a few million, and bought this tugboat. Fang Jing put his hands in his pockets, looked at Fang's father and said seriously, "Dad, I have already decided, even if you don't agree, I will insist." ”
He knew that since Fang's father's accident, his family was very opposed to him going to sea, especially Fang's mother, who wanted him to stay away from the sea from now on. When he made such a decision, his family would definitely oppose it, but he had made up his mind, and even if his family was against it, he would not back down.
With such an ungodly golden finger as a water bubble, how could he be willing to be trapped in the corner of the office, be an ordinary office worker, and live this life without doing anything?
