Fan Gong's family came to visit her husband and brought two baskets of fresh strawberries for everyone to taste. The company set up a casual banquet, Fan Tianfu came forward to warmly entertain him, Lin Ximeng personally went to the kitchen to help, and everyone in the company attended to accompany him.

Fan Tianfu said: "Sister-in-law, I really worked hard for you. "Fan Gong's family is in his forties, dignified, and very good-looking.

She blushed for a moment, looked at her husband sitting beside her with an inquiring gaze, and said, "Manager Fan, I don't know how to drink, but I should toast you first, and Manager Lin, every time Lao Fan goes home, he says that you are too good to him, and I don't know how to thank you." Lao Fan is an honest man, he only knows how to work......"

"Let me say a few words, Manager Fan?" Fan Gong interrupted the family, and after getting Fan Tianfu's permission, he said: "Manager Fan, everyone is here tonight, really, it's not me who said, it's really hard to find a good person like my family......"

"Look at you!" Fan Gong's family looked at her husband with disgust, blushed, and didn't let him continue.

"Don't let Manager Fan and everyone laugh." Fan Tianfu immediately said: "Where can you still laugh? It's too late for us to envy, this is really a blessing for Fan Gong. That's it, sister-in-law, I salute you and Fan Gong for this glass of wine, Fan Gong follows me all year round, working day and night, I always can't take care of it, I really have more than enough and not enough, I hope you will bear with me. It's really hard for you to take care of two children at home and work on a farm, which is also for the peace of mind of Fan Gong's work. Therefore, in the future, in the military merit medal, there will also be half of your sister-in-law. Everyone laughed and toasted.

Fan Gong's family doesn't know how to drink, so they can't really say it, so they have to replace the wine with tea. Fan Tianfu said to everyone: "Sister-in-law is indeed a rare good person, clean and neat, and she is even more enthusiastic when she entertains people. The first time I went to Fan Gong's house, I didn't even dare to land on my feet. The sister-in-law cleaned up the house shiny and well-organized, even the chicken cages were one grid after another, beautiful and elegant, and the chickens inside were spotless. I wondered if my sister-in-law bathed the chickens every day. If any of you don't believe me, next time I'll take you to Fan Gong's house to visit, but you must wash your feet in advance. Wu Airen, just stand at the gate and look in with your feet......" everyone laughed.

Fan Tianfu drank a glass of wine, his face flushed, and continued: "There is also the food cooked by my sister-in-law. The meals cooked by my sister-in-law are really good. Let's just put it this way, those chefs in Dashanzhuang Restaurant really can't do it, let alone the craftsmanship of these dishes made by Manager Lin. My sister-in-law can make more than a dozen dishes with different flavors with one dish. You see, Manager Lin makes these dishes, either pig's head mixed with cucumber, or cucumber mixed with pig's head, or garlic mixed with pig's feet, pig's feet mixed with garlic, everything is the same thing, all of them are pigs. We really don't know how the pigs offended Manager Lin and always fired at the pigs. That's not how people's sisters-in-law do this. I've eaten my sister-in-law's food, and I don't even want to see these dishes, haven't you seen me and Fan Gong and my sister-in-law eat so little tonight? "Laughter rose and fell.

Fan Gong saw Fan Tianfu praise her family like this, his heart was sweeter than eating honey, he looked at his family and said, "Manager Fan is so good to you, we salute Manager Fan with a glass of wine." You can't drink, I'll help you. "Everyone knows that Fan Gong drinks a small amount of alcohol, usually only two glasses of beer, and today he made an exception to drink a third glass, and they all applauded.

Fan Gong swallowed three glasses of beer, as if he had changed someone, his face was radiant, and he said: "Manager Fan, you don't dislike me, you brought me from the island, and you know so many brothers, and Manager Lin, this is really fate." Everyone is so united, harmonious, and working together like a rope twisted together. I'm forty-three years old, and I've walked through a lot of units, but I've never encountered anything like it. With a word of conscience, I can come to Wutong with you, just for you, Manager Fan. On our island, there are several companies that offer very high salaries, and my family knows about it, but I still take a fancy to you and come with you. Although our business is still very difficult, I believe that we will surpass all the decoration companies of Sycamore. What is a pearl? How many people are there? Look at our red star, one counts as one, and there is not a single straw bale. Don't look at Mingzhu They did the project of the power supply company, I can't swallow this breath in Fan Wenzhong, I must do something to show them......" Fan Gong said while rolling up his sleeves, everyone saw him so impassioned for the first time, as if they saw a powerless scholar who wanted to put on his armor and go to the battlefield, even if he couldn't kill the enemy, but his spirit was touching.

Everyone was both admired and encouraged, and they raised their glasses one after another.

"Fan Gong is right, we must do something to show them."

"As long as Manager Fan points to, I will rush to wherever he goes."

"I remember what Manager Fan said: 'Just do your job, don't ask about your future.'" ”

"I won't get married for three years, and I won't get married until the red star is developed." This face is like a pledge meeting before the battle, one after another, each expressing its own attitude and making its own determination.

In the end, only Fan Tianfu and Lin Ximeng remained, the two looked at each other and smiled, Fan Tianfu said, "What? Do you say it first or I'll say it first? ”

"Of course I should say it first?"

"Then you can say it."

"My ability is limited, my loyalty is unlimited, and I can only supplement my limited ability with infinite faithfulness." There was a round of applause.

Fan Tianfu's eyes smiled and said: "It sounds so good, it really deserves to be a bachelor of arts, is it still good to say it when you become a doctor or postdoctor?" Most of these people here have only studied in junior high school, and they are all from rural areas, and they have never heard of the terms doctorate and postdoctoral, and they all laughed heartily.

Lin Ximeng knew what they were thinking of, and he laughed and said, "Manager Fan can't become a doctor himself, so he is jealous of me." If he doesn't accept it, he can become a 'descendant' for everyone to see. Everyone laughed again.

Fan Tianfu looked around at everyone present and said, "There are so many of us today, we can sit here, just as Fan Gong said, this is fate." This company belongs to everyone, and everyone here treats this company as their own, which is exactly what I have been pursuing. Since we are destined to come together, we will share the blessings and suffer the sins together. When the enterprise is developed, we share the fruits of victory together; The business goes out of business, and each of us suffers. As a member of this company, everyone respects me and calls me Manager Fan. Actually, I'm also a foreman. How to lead this class well and finally make the enterprise develop is the biggest responsibility of me, the foreman. So, I suggest, for the sake of the prosperity of Red Star, let's toast! Everyone present stood up, toasted each other, and drank it all.

After taking a seat, Fan Tianfu suggested that in order to welcome the arrival of Fan Gong's family, everyone present should tell a piece of their own personal experience, which must be real, humorous, and able to make people laugh.

Everyone expressed their warm approval and pushed Fan Tianfu to take the lead. Fan Tianfu said yes and began to speak: "When I was in the army, I looked forward to the snow just like I looked forward to the New Year when I was a child. On a snowy day, I was the first to get out of bed, sneak out of the dormitory, and start clearing the snow. I swept and swept, and when I had been sweeping for more than half an hour, and no one had seen me, I muttered in my heart: Why hasn't anyone seen it yet? It's really uncomfortable that others don't see doing good deeds. Once, while I was thinking like this, a chief came up to me. On the same day, he praised me at the conference. It doesn't matter if this praise is given, everyone learns from me, and when it snows, they all get up quietly and go out to clear the snow. When I saw that the snow had been swept away, it really made me feel bad. Later, I had experience, it was cold in Sanjiu, the north wind was biting, others got up at five o'clock, I was at four o'clock, others were at four o'clock, I was at three o'clock, and later, I simply didn't sleep all night, I was afraid that others would get up earlier than me after sleeping a little. As a result, the comrades-in-arms saw the way and learned in this way. No one is willing to fall behind, and everyone wants to be praised. Later, the chief discovered this secret and sternly ordered everyone to sleep. For a while, God was against me, but it didn't snow, which really made me anxious. Looking forward to it every day, just like looking forward to the New Year when I was a child, I observe the weather every night before going to bed. As a result, ten years have passed, I have practiced a skill, in winter, as long as I look at the sky at night, I will know whether it will snow the next day, which is more accurate than the weather forecast......" Everyone laughed and said that it was good, so Fan Tianfu joked: "Which of you will do good things in the future, tell me quickly, or you will not suffer from sin, it is you who are uncomfortable, I have experienced in this regard, and we do not advocate being an unsung hero in our company." But fortunately, when I started to do good deeds every day, I didn't suffer sin, why? Because everyone knows that I am a good person...... "Lin Ximeng looked at everyone laughing so happily, and thought: Fan Tianfu, Fan Tianfu, you are really shrewd.

"Manager Lin said." Everyone spoke in unison. Fan Tianfu smiled: "Manager Lin, can you tell me a story about your stammering experience?" There are so many of us, you are a stammer, let's also feel the feeling of a stammer. Laughter and applause erupted.

Lin Ximeng said: "I have been a stammerer since I was a child, in front of strangers or to students, because I am very cautious, my tone is very slow, so I rarely tie knots, and strangers and students can't hear that I am a stammer. But there are exceptions, once, I just took a new class, checked the memorization of texts in class, and called three students in succession: the first one stopped as soon as he opened his mouth; The second one can't memorize half a sentence; By the third, he was simply standing there, his face flushed, and he couldn't open his mouth, which made me angry. The phenomenon of students bullying students is rare, and they are often afraid of life, and this group of students actually wants to bully me, a new teacher. I said out loud, 'You...... You...... You ...... 'I mean, 'What's going on with you?' But because I was so angry, I couldn't get it together. The classroom was silent, and the three students stood motionless, their heads lowered to their desks, and when I could easily say this, they still stood like this, and none of them answered my question. I'm even more angry, but I can't even have a reason to remember, how can there be such a thing? I couldn't bear it, but I really didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that I would not be able to show my stuff in front of the students again, so I could only stare dryly and get angry, and I didn't know how to end it. After about four or five minutes, a girl sitting in the front row quietly motioned for me to come to her and whispered to me, 'Teacher Lin, they have all memorized. When she saw that I was puzzled, she put her hand on my ear and said: 'All three of them are stammering.' When I heard the sound of thunder, and in an instant my whole body was hot and my face was red, and I quickly called the three students to sit down, and comforted them, saying, "No...... Not...... I...... Same with you. ”

"No wonder Sycamore stutters so much," Fan Tianfu said,

"It turned out that there were teachers who specialized in cultivating stammering, and now we have found the roots. Who's next? "Someone recommended Wu Airen to talk about it, saying that he had one

The story of "dead". Wu Airen is very honest, he speaks woodenly, he can't excuse himself, his face is red, and he talks: "There is an old man surnamed Yi in my village, and the people in the village call him the old man in Yi behind his back. He is a half-pulled doctor, and he also knows how to tell hexagrams, read physiognomy, and anyone in the village who is sick or has a disaster will go to him. One summer, on my neck, right here, was bitten by a stinky mosquito, and a big red envelope of eggs was raised, and then it suppurated, and the pain was so painful that I couldn't do anything, and my mother asked me to go to the old man to see. I think it's going to be fine soon, and I'm reluctant to go. Originally, my skin was very good, I was bitten by some mosquitoes and insects before, I don't know what happened, I have been hurting for half a month, it seems to be getting heavier and heavier, I said in my heart that I am not afraid of the taste, and later, I had to go to the old man in Yi. The old man showed it to me, his eyes widened, his mouth open, and he didn't speak for a long time. That expression is serious. I became frightened and carefully asked, 'Uncle, can I still die?' He glared at me and said angrily: 'What? He's dead? Are you just dead? Just as everyone was laughing and leaning back, Zhuo Qi came.

Zhuo Qi came to deliver a raincoat to Lin Ximeng. Everyone stood up to greet him and give him their seats.

Lin Ximeng asked, "It's raining?" Fan Tianfu said: "You haven't gone down yet, have you?" Zhuo Qi said: "It hasn't rained yet, and the forecast says that there will be heavy rain tonight." Fan Gong said: "Teacher Zhuo Qi is really a model husband. When Zhuo Qi heard this, he immediately said: "We call this filial piety." Everyone laughed all of a sudden, Fan Tianfu invited Zhuo Qi to sit at the table, at this time someone had already added chopsticks and wine glasses to Zhuo Qi, Zhuo Qi asked Lin Ximeng: "Don't you want to leave?" Lin Ximeng saw that everyone was in the mood, and he was afraid that he would ruin everyone's happiness when he left, so he said: "Fan Gong's sister-in-law is here, can you also have a few drinks together?" Zhuo Qi saw that everyone was still standing, and said, "It seems that I have become a family member today?" Yes! Drink a glass of your eight-way wine. Zhuo Qi sat down, everyone sat down, and began to drink.

The previous lively atmosphere was gone, Wu Airen and Xiaoshun and the little guys were all restrained, no longer laughing, only Fan Tianfu said something like the weather has been too hot recently, and then turned to Zhuo Qi and said, "Teacher Zhuo, are you very busy with school work?" Zhuo Qi put down the wine glass and said, "What are you busy with!" We are not like you, you are busy for the ticket, no matter how busy we are, we only have a few dollars, and if we don't do school at all, we will still have a share. Fan Tianfu said: "Yes, the food of the public family is delicious." It's good to see us, tired and tired all day long. Fan Gong hasn't been back for more than three months, and Manager Lin is also so busy all day long, so you are also a little tired. Zhuo Qi said: "There is no way, Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer." Lin Ximeng is famous for being late and leaving early in school, she is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, no one can do anything about her, I didn't expect you Fan Tianfu to mobilize her, not only not late and early to leave, but also early to and late to leave, even on Sundays. It seems that the eight roads are still capable, admire! Admire! The school is far from good. Everyone laughed again and the atmosphere livened up.

Fan Tianfu smiled: "Simply, let's have a glass of wine with your school." As he spoke, Fan Tianfu picked up his wine glass.

Zhuo Qi said disdainfully: "Drinking? Don't look at your eight-way skills, I'm afraid drinking is not our opponent, don't believe it? Zhuo Qi took the wine glass and drank it all,

"Come, let's try tonight." Fan Tianfu said: "Really? I don't believe I can't drink you. "Two of you, you drink a cup and I drink a cup, Zhuo Qi said while drinking: "I see how long you can fight the military flag of the Eighth Road." Fan Tianfu smiled: "Always flying high." Zhuo Qi said: "I think I'm about to fall." Sure enough, after not much time, Fan Tianfu put down the wine glass first, his face was red, he leaned his head on the back of the chair, and said that he was drunk.

Zhuo Qi said: "How? If you do, you can't, and if you don't accept it, you can't; If it doesn't work, it won't work, and it won't work just blowing. As he spoke, he turned to Lin Ximeng and said, "Your military flag has fallen, why don't you hurry up?" Fan Tianfu closed his eyes there and said, "Manager Lin, we can't let the military flag fall!" Drink! Lin Ximeng had to pick up the cup and drink with Zhuoqi, and the others clapped their hands to cheer for Lin Ximeng.

After the third drink, she pretended to be drunk. At this time, Zhuo Qike was majestic, and he danced with his hands: "Haha...... The military flag of the Eighth Road was finally trampled underfoot......" Zhuo Qi said as he bent down, everyone looked at him without knowing what he was going to do.

He slowly picked up a leather shoe and knocked it on the table a few times, and a fish bone fell out of the shoe.

The fish bone landed right next to a plate of pig's feet, and then he put his shoe on the ground and put it back on.

He was in the process of drinking, because the weather was too hot, he took his feet out of his leather shoes to ventilate, and when he was drinking, a fish bone fell into the shoes, and he felt it when he was excited to put on his shoes just now, and wanted to get it out.

He was afraid of getting on the ground, which was his usual practice, and it could be dirty in other places, but not on the ground.

Lin Ximeng understood him, but others didn't, and they were all stunned by his move, first looking at each other, and then looking at Lin Ximeng in unison.

Lin Ximeng was extremely embarrassed. Fan Tianfu leaned his head on the back of the chair and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and suddenly he couldn't hear a sound, so he immediately opened his eyes, raised his head, and asked, "What, don't you speak?" Lin Ximeng looked at everyone, and then looked at Zhuo Qi.

Zhuo Qizheng was drinking tea as if nothing had happened. She picked up a full glass of wine and replied to Fan Tianfu: "I will punish myself!" With that, she drank it all.

It was ten o'clock when the party ended. Fan Tianfu arranged for Fan Gong and his wife to spend the night in the guest room.

Unexpectedly, Fan Gong said that he would not go anywhere, only leaving his family alone in the guest room, and he was still in the collective dormitory.

Fan Tianfu went to the collective dormitory to drag Fan Gong out, and others helped push him out, Fan Gong grabbed the bed and didn't let go, his face was red and purple, and he just didn't go.

Fan Tianfu pretended to be angry: "Fan Gong, what's wrong with you?" Sister-in-law is coming from afar, how can you do this? Fan Gong was really angry and turned his face: "Do you Manager Fan look down on people?" Fan Tianfu couldn't cry or laugh, and there was really no way, so he had to let Lin Ximeng go to the guest room to settle Fan Gong's family.

Fan Gong's family was standing in the guest room with red faces. She obviously knew that Fan Gong would not come to the guest room, and when she saw Lin Ximeng, her face turned even redder, and she said, "Manager Lin, I am really causing you too much trouble when I come." ”

"Sister-in-law, where is this? When do we still want to eat your food? ”

"I'm really happy, you can go in the first month of next year, go with Manager Fan, and everyone, there are still eight chickens at home, when you go, I will kill them in advance." Lin Ximeng looked at her with a sincere face, thinking that she had come all the way to visit her husband, and she would leave early tomorrow morning, but tonight she was alone in the empty room, and there was something unspeakable that was clogged in her heart, so she had to say that she should rest early and quit by herself.

Zhuo Qi had been waiting impatiently. Lin Ximeng was going to push the bicycle, Zhuo Qi said, "I'll take you." Lin Ximeng said: "What should I do when I go to work tomorrow morning?" Zhuo Qi said, "I'll send you." Lin Ximeng knew that Zhuo Qi had succeeded in drinking today, and he was very excited, so he walked out of the company with him.

On the way home, Zhuo Qi scolded: "Stupid! Die! Red Star is a group of idiots! You're all crazy! Can an illiterate idiot like Fan Tianfu still engage in a business? Lin Ximeng sat on the back seat of his bicycle and said, "Yes, he just graduated from high school and didn't even go to college, how can he compare with us?" ”

"This is a congenital deficiency. Think about it, how much knowledge can a soldier have? Without knowledge, you can't do it, and you will never be able to get to the next level. ”

"Yes, the people in my company heard that you are a lecturer, and they all admire you, and you can drink so much wine, it seems like an entrepreneur."

"It's a matter of grade. People like Fan Tianfu are not high-grade at all. ”

"yes, I think so too." Zhuo Qi was immersed in the happiness of ridiculing Fan Tianfu who was too far away from him and was not at all high-grade, much gentler than usual.

He remembered something, and suddenly asked, "What does Fan Tianfu's wife do?" ”

"I heard it's a worker."

"What does it look like?"

"I've heard it's very beautiful."

"Alas," said Zhuo Qi, with a sigh,

"No matter how beautiful you are, you are a worker, not up to grade." The two of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived home.

Zhuo Qi continued to immerse himself in the happiness of ridiculing Fan Tianfu's subgrade, the intoxication, the comfort, and the satisfaction were incomparable.

In the face of his gentleness and his clumsy caresses, Lin Ximeng also had a sense of happiness. What kind of happiness this is, even Lin Ximeng himself can't say clearly.

She has forgotten when her only happiness came from here. Now, she wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry; She wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

The next morning, Zhuo Qi sent her to work. On the way, she looked at his dilapidated bicycle and suggested again, "You should really change to another car, you can find another broken car on the road?" ”

"With a woman like you, the more the car breaks, the more it shows that I am more capable. Don't believe let them try? Do they have what it takes? "That's the reason again!

She looked at his thin back and said, "It's time for you to wash your hair." Zhuo Qi tilted his head, smiled, and said: "I want to run into the mud and roll, so that when I walk with you, everyone will be even more impressed with me, I don't know what kind of character I am, either think I'm a big money, or think I'm a high-ranking cadre." "It's a fallacy again!

Lin Ximeng didn't say anything anymore. Arriving at the door of the company, Fan Tianfu and everyone stood there. Fan Gong said: "Teacher Zhuo Qi personally sent his wife to work? Fan Tianfu smiled and didn't make a sound.

Zhuo Qi tilted his head and said, "Special car pick-up, filial piety to his wife." With that, he got into the battered car and left.

Lin Ximeng looked at everyone and asked, "What are you doing standing here early in the morning?" Fan Tianfu said: "Fan Gong's sister-in-law wants to go back, I asked Xiao Pan to drive back, just so that Fan Gong can also go home to rest for a while." Lin Ximeng found out that there were two large bags of food beside Fan Tianfu, which looked like some tonics, obviously this was prepared by Fan Tianfu for Fan Gong.

Lin Ximeng said: "Sister-in-law, you are welcome to come often. Fan Gong's family said: "I'll make trouble for you here, you see that Manager Fan sent a car to deliver me and bought so many things, it really makes me feel sorry." Lin Ximeng glanced at Fan Tianfu and said, "He is here to eat the dishes you made." "The car came, Fan Gong and Fan Gong's family, a thousand thanks, happily, got in the car and left.
