Chapter 704: Breaking Promises!
The conversation between Feng and his father was ultimately inconclusive, and neither of them was able to convince anyone; Time passed quickly, as the night fell, it was dinner time again, Feng Ye didn't do anything all afternoon, and he still couldn't control himself in the face of food at night, and he ate a mess again.
"Go see the old man."
After dinner, look at the wall clock on the wall, Feng Fushun greeted Feng Yi, and the three of them walked towards the back house together, this time there is no need for Uncle Wang to lead the way, I am afraid that most of the family is now in the old man's back house.
"Young Master, you wait in the courtyard first, and then go to see the old man together when everyone arrives."
In the back house, Feng Fushun and Feng Ye didn't even enter the courtyard, but they were blocked by Uncle Wang and asked them to wait in the courtyard outside.
"Grandpa Wang, how is Grandpa?"
Feng Ye did not retreat, and asked in a low voice in front of Uncle Wang.
"I had a good afternoon sleep and am drinking porridge now."
Uncle Wang was smiling, and after Old Man Feng woke up, he seemed to be in very good spirits.
"Thank you, Grandpa Wang."
Feng Yi arched his hand and looked at the courtyard, where the other uncles had not yet arrived.
"Yo! Big brother, you guys so early? This is a sign! It's a guy! β
A sound of surprise came from the ears of Feng Jie, who was waiting quietly, and Feng Yi looked back.
"Second uncle, second aunt."
Feng Yi greeted politely, but in the dim light, he didn't see his younger siblings.
"It's different when you come down from the battlefield! This is the hero of our family! It's not like the hard-working child in our family, who still has to run the family's business! β
The second aunt's words directly made Feng Yi's brows furrow, but he was not ready to refute, at home, against the elders, even if he had great reason, he would be reprimanded.
"His second aunt, Zhaozhang wants to run the family's business, but someone won't let him! Do you want to change your kid? Now I don't have to start with a small soldier, lieutenant colonel and battalion commander, I'm also an officer! β
However, Feng Yi's mother Lanzhi didn't give any face, even ridiculed and ridiculed, and said it to death at once, which made the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly tense.
"Say less; Don't disturb Father! β
Feng Fushun tugged Laneige's hand, this place and this time, arguing will only bring worse consequences.
"Big brother, Zhaozhang is here too!"
At this time, Feng Fuquan and Feng Fuping's families also arrived, and next to them, the younger brothers and sisters who had just become adults showed off their elegance, as if they were laughing at the black and thin Feng Jie.
"All here? The old man told you to come in. β
Uncle Wang stood at the gate of the courtyard, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and followed behind him.
"Father, Mother!"
"Grandpa, grandma!"
After entering the door, everyone bowed respectfully towards the old man and the old lady, and at this time, they all wanted to do their best to show themselves.
"Zhaozhang, come here!"
The old man's spirit was much better, maybe because he had a good nap in the afternoon, or maybe because he had just finished drinking porridge, and his voice didn't sound so weak.
"Grandpa!"
Feng Ye obediently walked to the bed, and squatted beside the bed under the jealous eyes of his younger brothers and sisters.
"How long will you stay at home?"
Old Man Feng stared at Feng Ye for a while, his squirming lips stopped talking, and finally turned into care.
"I'm going back in seven days at the latest."
Feng Ye didn't hesitate, he didn't want to lie, and he didn't want to beg his grandfather to get him out of the army at this time, he didn't want to embarrass this old man, he just wanted him to live well.
"So fast? I'm afraid grandpa is going to break his promise, and I won't see the day you get married. β
The old man's voice was helpless, seven days, and now the marriage depends on the meaning of the Zou family, and it is absolutely impossible to get married.
"Grandpa, aren't you going to watch your grandson enter the cave with your own eyes? You're just an old problem, it's nothing, take care of it for a while, and you'll be fine. β
Feng Yi shook his head, comforting the old man with ethereal hope.
"I know my own body, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time; The little lady of the Zou family is very good, don't give up easily, as long as they don't withdraw from the marriage for a day, they are all your fiancΓ©es; As a descendant of the Feng family, you must have confidence and the courage to fight, not to mention women, even if it is others, you can start from scratch. β
The old man raised his head and said to everyone in the room, as if he was announcing something while cheering for Feng Yi.
Hearing the old man's words, a slight smile appeared on Feng Fu'an's face, and they glanced at each other, as if they saw hope, because their son was not much different from Feng Yi's age, since the marriage certificate was gone, could he ask the Zou family for marriage?
"I'll go tomorrow, while the old man is still there."
The meaning in Feng Fuan's eyes couldn't be more obvious, Feng Yi's second aunt nodded slightly, of course she knew the urgency of this matter.
"I have struggled all my life, and the family property I have saved is enough for you to squander for several generations, you remember, with the Feng family, you can only have a way back if you struggle; As long as this family is scattered, you can't compete with those talented wolves, tigers and leopards outside. β
Old Man Feng spoke earnestly, looking at his four sons, he knew too well what his sons were capable of, and it was okay to fight in the nest, but once he went outside, he was likely to be eaten without even bones.
"The future of the Feng family is in their generation!"
"Zhaozhang, you are the eldest grandson, you have to be responsible, you have to take responsibility for the revitalization of the family, you are your elders and brothers and sisters, you have to be more tolerant, forget those who are unhappy, I will watch you in the sky and bless you!"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Old Man Feng continued to talk so much that he finally began to cough again.
"Grandpa, don't talk about it, take a good rest!"
Seeing the old man's painful cough, Feng Yi anxiously persuaded him.
"Ahh
The old woman massaged Old Man Feng's back to make it easier for him to cough up phlegm; Uncle Wang, who was waiting next to him, put the handkerchief to the old man's mouth, and a mouthful of liquid that he didn't know what it was fell on the handkerchief, and Uncle Wang's surprised mouth held back the words in the old man's eyes.
"Lao Wang, settle the family's property in the past few days, and after three days, let all the big shopkeepers come to the house, such a big stall, someone must take responsibility."
The old man swallowed the saliva back in his mouth, and the fishy saliva ran down his throat and returned to the old man's stomach.
"Yes, sir!"
Uncle Wang's eyes were full of tears, he knew that this old man, who had been tough all his life, was not ready to continue to fight this time, maybe he knew that he could not fight endlessly against the years and the disease.
"Let's all go back! It's time for the old man to rest! β
The continuous speech just now seemed to make the old man use up all the strength he had accumulated for the day, Old Man Feng slowly closed his eyes, and the old lady began to give an eviction order, these sons, she would rather they not come to see the old man, maybe the old man can live a few more days.
