Chapter 21: Another Mr. Fang
"Just this town? So may I ask...... What's your last name? ”
Yun Qilan's curious question made the man's face pass through a trace of embarrassment, but it quickly eased up.
"Disdainful Fang."
"Ahh
Hearing the other party's answer, Yun Qilan screamed unconsciously. The gentleman, who claimed to be surnamed Fang, stared at Yun Qilan in amazement, but Yun Qilan did not explain.
"Uh...... Yes, she may not have heard your accent like someone here, so she was a little surprised. ”
Ling Haotian played a round for Yun Qilan, and finally avoided more embarrassment. The other person didn't doubt it too much, and after that, everyone talked about some other topics very calmly.
Yun Qilan went back to the backyard to take care of the housework, and although she always wanted to leave Ling Haotian, she still had to take care of him for at least one day. Yun Qilan went to cook, if the other party's mother and son didn't mind, she would also keep them to eat.
"Mr. Fang came here this time, is it to visit relatives and friends, or ......?"
"My family in the north was hit by a disaster, and I fled all the way. Hereon...... Get ready to start a little business. ”
Before Ling Haotian could finish speaking, he hurriedly interrupted him. Then, let's talk about our own situation.
"Oh? I deeply sympathize with my husband's plight and dare to ask him if he is here...... What do you want to do for a living? ”
"I just want to contract a small tea mountain."
"Ahh
Ling Haotian couldn't help but exclaim, he didn't expect that Mr. Fang in front of him would say that contracting mountain tea planting was a "small business"? Hehe, in comparison, he Ling Haotian this clinic...... But I can't get on the table! Ling Haotian, who has always been full of confidence, for the first time, has a sense of insignificance when a bird meets an elephant.
"Mr. Fang is ambitious and financially strong, and I really admire him."
Ling Haotian unconsciously praised that Mr. Fang.
Speaking of which, they don't have any scheming, just a bottle of drip has not yet been lost, and the two are already familiar enough to be called brothers.
"O clouds, add two more dishes, and then take out the treasured foreign wine. Today I want to get drunk with the Fang family brothers. ”
Ling Haotian shouted at the backyard, and Yun Qilan immediately agreed.
"Brother, after talking for a long time, who is the eldest of us? And your honorific name...... I haven't asked for advice yet! ”
That Mr. Fang is also funny enough, he chatted with others for a long time, and they all called him brother, but he didn't know the other party's name? Hehe, that's funny. At that time, Ling Haotian also seemed to be lacking a tendon, and he didn't think of this problem.
"My name is Ling Haotian, thirty years old."
"I am thirty-one years old. Yo, that's it...... I'm a year older than you! ”
"Yes! I called Brother for a long time just now...... Haha, it looks like you've suffered a loss! ”
"Hahaha......"
The two laughed together, rejoicing in their acquaintance.
"Fang Zhuo? Fang Yan, these two names will not ...... Ay! Cranky, I'm cranky again! ”
Yun Qilan did speculate in her heart that in this town, the surname Fang was not a big family, and there were no more than five in total. However, it is said that several of them are not related by blood. Especially Fang Yan, their family is a single family, haven't you heard of a family with the same surname who has close relatives?
"Oops! It's mushy! ”
Yun Qilan exclaimed, because she only speculated about the relationship between Fang Zhuo and Fang Yan, and saw that most of the dishes in the pot were already mushy. It seems that you can only go to the street to buy fresh ones.
After such a toss, the meal was eaten very late, but this did not affect Fang Zhuo and Ling Haotian to talk freely. Ling Haotian, a clinic that has not yet officially opened, inadvertently has a few more inquisitors because the door has been open for a day.
That old woman, that is, Fang Zhuo's mother, after the infusion was completed, Yun Qilan helped her sit up.
"Old man, come and eat together."
It was almost dusk, Yun Qilan made a few more hot dishes, and then beckoned Fang Zhuo's mother to eat in the backyard.
The old man, who had lost his ability to speak, would only nod and smile and express his gratitude to Yun Qilan.
"You're welcome, you can make this your home."
Yun Qilan said polite words while handing the old man a pair of bamboo chopsticks. At the moment when the old man reached out to take the bamboo chopsticks, Yun Qilan suddenly found a dazzling object on her right wrist.
"Old man, your jade bracelet is good! It's jadeite, right? The condition is really good, it must be the best quality. ”
Yun Qilan deliberately praised Fang Zhuo's mother's jade bracelet. On this day, there were two times when Yun Qilan was surprised, one was Fang Zhuo's name and facial features, and the other was this jade bracelet. This is another déjà vu, just too similar! When Yun Qilan was in the Fang family, she had seen an extremely similar one, especially the just right chicken blood red embellishment, which was simply the same.
The old man couldn't speak, so Fang Zhuo on the side also spoke.
"Well, this is my Fang family's ancestral heirloom."
"Really? Like such a superb treasure, if there is a pair is perfect. ”
Hearing Yun Qilan say this, the mother and son exchanged glances, and the mother smiled slightly. The son turned his eyes to look at Yun Qilan, just shook his head and sighed without answering.
"Hey!"
"Brother Fang doesn't have to sigh like this, there is nothing absolutely satisfying in this world. The so-called perfection is nothing but an ideal that exists in the mind. ”
"Hmm, or rather...... It's just an idea, a thought. Come, let's toast to the perfection of our minds, to the shortcomings of this world! ”
Fang Zhuo picked up the wine glass, looked at his expression, and listened to his tone, as if he had something unspeakable. Although the two have changed their cups and drank at the same table, it is just a little pity for the "fallen people at the end of the world". It's only been a day since they've known each other, why is the other party worried? It was still inconvenient for him Ling Haotian to ask in detail, so he could only drink one more glass with him.
After three rounds of drinking, Fang Zhuo was a little drunk. His mother kept tugging at his sleeve, meaning to urge him to go. Fortunately, Fang Zhuo is a filial son, although he is a little drunk, he can still understand his mother's intentions. So he staggered to his feet and took out a piece of ocean from the pocket of his coarse cloth jacket.
Ling Haotian insisted on refusing to accept the money, but Fang Zhuo still threw it on the table.
"My brother still needs to settle accounts, not to mention that you and I just know each other with different surnames?"
As Fang Zhuo spoke, he had already helped his mother to the door.
"Brother, I'll send you."
Ling Haotian said and hurriedly chased out. Fang Zhuo's mother and son rented an inn, some distance from Ling Haotian's clinic. If you follow the slow walking of the elderly, it takes about an hour to walk back and forth. Therefore, when Ling Haotian came back, there was no longer Yun Qilan in the clinic.
After passing the Yilan Bridge again, Yun Qilan moved forward step by step. In her hand was a flashlight brought from abroad, and the light of the fireflies shone on her familiar and unfamiliar feet.
The wind is still slightly cool, and there is still a faint orchid fragrance wafting from the ruins.
