Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Fang Mumu was already twenty-four years old, and the thing that forced him to get married never appeared again, and the last time he saw Wang San'er was when he was discharged from the hospital, and they became strangers since then and never contacted each other again.

Fang Mumu and Yu Cai were working in the field, only to see a person hurrying over, "Yu Cai, it's not good!" Your dad is gone. ”

The hoe in Fang Mumu's hand fell to the ground, and the wooden handle smashed to her feet, but there was no pain, she hoped that she could feel pain, so that she could cover up the wave of sadness that this bad news had set off in her heart.

Yu Cai didn't say a word, threw down the shovel in his hand and ran to his mother's house, when Fang Mumu reacted, Yu Cai had already run out of the farmland, and she followed.

By the time Yu Cai and Fang Mumu arrived, Yu Cai's mother had already begun to talk about Yu Cai's father's funeral. Seeing Yu Cai, she wiped her tears and said in a sour tone, "Now that your father is gone, what are you still doing?" There really isn't your dad in this family anymore! ”

"I just want to go in and see my dad." Yu Cai lowered his head and didn't want to pay attention to the sourness in his mother's tone.

"What can be seen in such a corpse that does not speak? It's as if you can bring him back to life just by looking at it! Yu Cai's mother was already sad because of the departure of her old man, and when she saw Yu Cai, she wanted to say a few more words to ease the sadness in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, since the child is here, let me go in and take a look." A neighbor on the side stepped forward to persuade him.

"She can see it if she wants to, and I didn't stop her." Yu Cai's mother looked at Yu Cai and said to the neighbor.

The neighbor hurriedly helped Yu Cai's mother to the side, and Yu Cai quickly walked into the house to see his father, and Fang Mumu followed closely behind his mother.

Fang Mumu and his mother howled in front of his grandfather's body for a while, Fang Mumu looked at his grandfather as if he was asleep, but his face was like dead ash representing his departure. The memories of her grandfather unfolded little by little in her mind. For her, her grandfather is a big barrier, pulling her to the road of life when she is struggling with life and death. Grandpa is gone, and her barrier seems to have disappeared as a result.

Yu Cai and Fang Mumu did not stay with Yu Cai's father for a long time in the house, because Yu Cai's father may have expected that on this day, his coffin would have been prepared, and his body would soon be put into the coffin.

Carrying and buriing, Yu Cai's father's funeral was basically completed in one day, the grave was very low, the tombstone was a wooden plank, and the ceremony was so simple that it was almost not a ceremony.

Yu Cai and Fang Mumu were supposed to stay at home to keep vigil, but because Yu Cai's mother didn't want to see them, the two were driven home early. After arriving home, Fang Jian stopped Yu Cai and asked a few questions, even if he had asked about the death of his father-in-law.

In the month after Yu Cai's father passed away, in addition to Fang Jian's family, Yu Cai's mother and daughter have been silent in sadness.

"Mom, why don't you go in?" Fang Mumu accompanied his mother to stand at the door of his grandfather's house, today is the 40th day of his grandfather's death, and his grandmother gave his grandfather 40 at home.

"It's okay, just stand here and take a look, it's considered to have given your grandfather's forty. You don't have to go in to make your grandma angry again, after all, she's old. Yu Cai's eyes looked at the open door.

Yu Cai's mother and daughter were tired of standing, so they leaned against the courtyard wall of someone else's house and squatted on the ground. It wasn't until the door of Yu Cai's parents' house was closed because Yu Cai's father was over forty that the mother and daughter got up and left.

Fang Mumu felt that from that day on, grandpa really left. The days are repetitive and dull to consume the memorable grief and tribulation in life, no one can escape from being forgotten by the world, Fang Mumu is really afraid that he will forget his grandfather who is awkward and good to him too soon.

After the New Year, Fang Mumu was twenty-five years old, Yuan Chengle still had no news, his parents still lived in that courtyard, Fang Mumu was almost difficult to see them, even if he did, he was not as cordial as before, nodded and greeted, and there was nothing else after that.

Although his father-in-law passed away, Fang Jian only had a share of worries about Fang Mumu, who was getting older, but he didn't dare to persecute him hard.

Sometimes, what you don't want to do, fate wants to pick it up, put it in your hands, and force you to do it.

It was the hot season in July, Fang Jian's wine was more fierce than before, and although there were not many people who wanted to find Fang Jian, they all knew where they were going to find it.

In the teahouse of Chen Shaodong's house

After Chen Shaodong took a bottle of wine and greeted him at the table, he finally sat down next to Fang Jian. From Fang Jian's return to getting married and having children, and now becoming a gray middle-aged and elderly person, maybe he has stayed too long and too long, he always likes to sit and drink with Fang Jian, even if the two of them are not serious, there will be nonsense that they don't have a match.

"Brother Fang, my complexion has been getting more and more ruddy recently." Chen Shaodong smiled at Fang Jian.

Fang Jian glared at Chen Shaodong, "You got drunk before I even started drinking, I'm drinking in the face." ”

"I'm not drunk, I know you drink in your face, and you haven't drunk wine for so many years, I don't know!" Chen Shaodong stared at Fang Jian with his eyebrows fluttering, "I think your ruddy face today is a little good-looking, a bit of luck." ”

"I'm not a!" Fang Jian let Chen Shaodong stare at him, he picked up the wine bottle and drank most of it.

Chen Shaodong took the wine bottle and touched it on the bottle in Fang Jian's hand, then raised the bottle and took a big sip to follow Fang Jian's rhythm, "Brother Fang, are there any good things you haven't told your brother recently?" ”

"I am all shrunk in your teahouse day and night, except for a while when I sleep, do you know if I have any good things?" Fang Jian's head tilted, supported it with his hands, and looked at Chen Shaodong.

"That is, something good is about to happen, and you must remember your brother when the time comes." Chen Shaodong said and put his finger to the root of his eye and pointed at Fang Jian.

"Then I'll lend you good words." Fang Jian sat up straight and continued to drink.

Chen Shaodong continued to talk to Fang Jian without a match.

At this time, the curtain at the door of the teahouse was lifted, and two faces came in, and everyone in the teahouse looked at the two people at the door.

"Is Fang Jianfang's boss here?" The old man at the head was about fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a crumpled light gray tunic and wearing black cloth shoes on his feet.

After exchanging glances with Fang Jian, Chen Shaodong stood up from the table, walked quickly to the door, and looked at the visitor, "Do you have something to do with Brother Fang?" ”

"Of course there is." The old man smiled, "If it's okay, I won't come from the next village." ”

"What's the matter?" Chen Shaodong was a little curious.

"Is he there?" The old man looked into the teahouse, although he didn't know Fang Jian, but he thought that he was looking for someone in such a high-profile manner, and most people would react a little. However, Fang Jian was drinking well, so he didn't have the time to take care of him. Therefore, the old man's search failed, and in the end he had to ask Chen Shaodong, who was taking care of him in front of him, again, "If he is here, I will definitely have a good thing for you to introduce me." If you're not there, I'll come back on a cloudy day when he's there. ”

"He's drinking in there." Chen Shaodong saw that the old man didn't tell him, so he had to suppress his curiosity, and it was not too late to wait until Fang Jian came to listen. He led the old man and the man behind him to the table where Fang Jian was sitting inside.

"Well, this is Fang Jianfang's master." Chen Shaodong put his arm on Fang Jian's shoulder and introduced Fang Jian to the two people he brought over, and then Fang Jian smiled evilly, "Someone is looking for you." ”

Fang Jian raised his eyes and looked at the two living people who hadn't said much about seeing each other, he frowned slightly, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Something, something, of course." The old man looked fifty or sixty years old, but he still behaved like a yellow-haired boy. He pulled the man behind him and introduced to Fang Jian, "My name is Zhang Hualu, this is my son Zhang Erwa, you see how handsome this looks." ”

Fang Jian's brows furrowed, and his face was a little irritable, "And then?" Does it have anything to do with me? ”

"Master Fang is really good at laughing, if it's okay, what am I pulling him to see you." The old man smiled, and didn't care too much about Fang Jian's tone of impatience due to irritability, "My son is exactly thirty this year, just a daughter-in-law, I heard that the daughter of Fang Da is twenty-five this year, she is good-looking, and she can endure hardships, so I will be bold today and bring my son to the family of Fang Da Boss, I don't know what Fang Da Da thinks?" ”

"Not good." Fang Jian thought that these two people came to him for something, it turned out that they were just to say goodbye, Fang Jian didn't want to deal with it, but Chen Shaodong kicked him under the table, and asked him to treat him well with his eyes, he had to say, "Besides, I can't do this thing." ”

Zhang Hualu was anxious when he heard this, so he hurriedly let go of his son, pulled a stool and sat in front of Fang Jian, "I'm afraid that Master Fang is not joking with me, right?" Your daughter, a father can't be the master, who else can call the shots? ”

"My daughter is too stubborn, if you come to kiss, you must have inquired." When Fang Jian said this, he felt aggrieved, a father who couldn't be the master of his own daughter, he really couldn't say it, he directly picked up the newly opened bottle of wine on the table and poured it into his mouth.

Zhang Hualu waited until Fang Jian swallowed the wine in his mouth, and then approached Fang Jian, "My Zhang family specializes in all kinds of stubborn women, as long as you are in charge of Fang Da's family, you promise to kiss, and I will marry the rest myself." ”

Although the old man has passed away, Fang Jian once said in front of the old man that he would no longer force Fang Mumu to get married, so at this moment, he wanted to agree immediately, but he hesitated, after all, the girl was stubborn but didn't even want her life. "This..."

"I think Fang Da is also a cheerful person, how can he meet the matter of marrying a girl, he becomes this and that, like a girl." Zhang Hualu came to kiss with the intention of only succeeding and not failing, and Fang Jian's hesitant tone made him decide not to be conservative and to say kiss, but to use the radical method.

"It's not that my brother disagrees." Chen Shaodong saw Zhang Hualu's words that made Fang Jian's face change, he was not afraid of the usual Fang Jian, he joked well, and said excessive words. But after changing his face, Fang Jian was so scared that he couldn't say anything about jokes and excesses, so he hurriedly came up to play a round, "I don't know who told you about the situation, I shouldn't have made it clear." This girl of Brother Fang's family is stubborn, not obedient after preaching and scolding, but stubborn in giving up her life. Brother Fang was afraid that both of them would be embarrassed, so he hesitated and didn't dare to make up his mind easily. ”

"I thought something was going on." Zhang Hualu looked at Fang Jian, "Brother Fang, as long as you promise to marry, I will definitely be able to marry the living person, and I won't make such an embarrassing thing." ”

Fang Jian was so annoyed that his original interest in drinking was reduced by half, and he wanted to say more, when he saw Zhang Hualu's appearance of being determined to win, he gave up instantly, "I'll leave it here, if you can marry my daughter intact, you can marry." If you can't, you might as well find another home. ”

"Hey, good!" Zhang Hualu was no longer verbose, picked up the wine bottle and drank a cup with Fang Jian, and left from Chen Shaodong's teahouse.
