Chapter 22: Family
Weizhou, an ordinary prefecture-level city in Lu Province, is known as the kite capital of the world for its most famous specialty.
In terms of historical celebrities, the popular TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" in the 90s, in which the protagonist Liu Yong is a local.
In addition, Yan Ying, a politician in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jia Sixian, the author of "Qi Min's Technique", and Mo Yan, a Nobel Prize winner in literature, ...... These celebrities are also from Weizhou.
Compared with the prosperity of the imperial capital, Weizhou is like a small village, no matter how you look at it, but Fang Yan just likes this down-to-earth "earthy taste".
Because the Spring Festival train was not on time, Fang Yan greeted his family in advance and asked them not to pick him up.
After leaving the train station, Fang Yan called a taxi and took twenty minutes to get home.
"Knock knock—"
Fang Yan knocked on the door a few times, and before he could wait, a woman with shoulder-length short hair and a floral apron opened the door.
The woman has fair skin, a very slender figure, and exudes a bookish aura all over her body, she is Fang Yan's mother, Zhao Jing.
"Son, you're back!"
Zhao Jing happily snatched the luggage in Fang Yan's hand, and muttered: "How long is this late, it's unreliable to take the train, you should take the plane!" ”
Fang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, it's too expensive to fly, and the money for one flight is enough for me to buy 5 train tickets!" ”
"Yo-I didn't wake up today? The eldest young master actually knew that he was distressed about money! ”
Suddenly, a crisp female voice sounded, and a young girl who looked similar to Zhao Jing appeared for eight points.
"Yes, you just didn't wake up, hurry back to bed and continue sleeping!"
Fang Yan showed a disgusted expression and waved his hand to drive the other party away.
"You stinky boy, do you have such a way to talk to your sister!"
The young girl walked over angrily and pinched Fang Yan with her hand, she was her sister who was two years older than Fang Yan - Fang Yao.
"Mom, look at my sister, bully me as soon as you come back!"
"What are you pretending, I just pinched you lightly!"
"A gentle pinch? I guess it's all blue, okay! ”
……
The two of them were arguing vigorously, and Zhao Jing's head was too big.
"Okay, how old are you both, and you still quarrel like children all day long, isn't there a shame!"
Fang Yan and Fang Yao have not dealt with each other since they were children, one dislikes each other as a woman is too barbaric, the other dislikes the other party as a man is too prodigal, in a word, their sister and brother are living enemies.
However, the relationship between the sisters and brothers is still very good, and they have not really blushed for so many years.
"For the sake of you finally going home, I'll spare you today!"
Fang Yao pursed her lips and poured a glass of warm water with a straight mouth.
"Drink it, don't say I'm bad for you."
"Thank you, sister!" Fang Yan took the water cup with a hippie smile, feeling a warmth in his heart.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Zhao Jing smiled with relief: "You two go wash your hands, let's prepare for dinner." ”
In order to celebrate Fang Yan's homecoming, Zhao Jing made a lot of good dishes - braised pork, spicy fried clams, fried eggplant boxes, mustard chicken, fried peanuts......
In terms of staple food, it is also a specially wrapped meat and three fresh dumplings, with garlic and vinegar, which is called a beautiful taste.
"Mom, it's not the New Year yet, do you need such a sumptuous one?"
Looking at the braised pork that had just come out of the pot, Fang Yan couldn't help but eat a piece of it, and his tongue was almost burned.
Fang Yao said jealously: "If you don't say that our mother is biased, when I am at home, at most I will fry two dishes." ”
"Hey, Yaoyao, you conscienceless!"
Zhao Jing took off her apron angrily and said, "You stay by your mother's side all day, and Xiaoyan is going to school outside, can you two sisters and brothers be in the same situation!" ”
Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Fang Yao stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and hurriedly offered to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Sister, how is your work lately?"
While eating, Fang Yan asked casually, and Fang Yao's face instantly darkened.
"Don't mention it, my boss is just a fussy man, and he has nothing to do all day long."
Speaking of this, Fang Yao sighed: "To be honest, I really don't want to work in the company anymore, and I plan to resign after the New Year." ”
Fang Yao's profession is huiji, she is a high-achieving student who graduated from 985 University, and originally wanted to work in the magic capital, but her father at home did not agree, so she had to let her daughter stay by her side.
Now that her father has passed away, and Fang Yao's work is not going well, she wants to resign and go to the magic capital.
Zhao Jing immediately objected to this idea.
"What kind of resignation, who didn't encounter any difficulties at work, it's good to work for a long time!"
"Mom, don't be biased, okay!" Fang Yao said angrily: "When my brother said that he wanted to stay in the imperial capital, you and my father did not object, and even bought the house!" ”
"Why do you want to go to the magic capital, you don't agree!"
"I'm afraid you'll suffer!" Zhao Jing said bitterly: "You are a girl, working alone in the field, how can I rest assured!" ”
Fang Yao rolled her eyes: "It's nice to say, it's actually patriarchal!" ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Fang Yan hurriedly interjected to play a round.
"Mom, my sister is twenty-four, don't care about her like a child!"
"I don't care about her!"
Zhao Jing said angrily: "She is a girl, what if she runs so far and encounters a bad person?" ”
"Well, I'll have an idea!"
Fang Yan had an idea and said, "My sister doesn't go to the Demon Capital, can she go to the emperor?" ”
"To the imperial capital?!" Zhao Jing and Fang Yao were both a little surprised.
Fang Yan smiled slightly, and continued to explain: "If you go to the imperial capital, you should be relieved to be accompanied by me there, Mom." ”
"Well...... Yes! Zhao Jing thought about it carefully and felt that it was acceptable.
"Sister, do you agree?"
Fang Yao nodded, and said with great satisfaction: "This is a good idea, when I go to the imperial capital, I will be able to watch you, so that you don't have to mess around." ”
As soon as he heard this, Fang Yan was half dead in anger, and he wanted to slap him over.
Fang Yao's behavior is simply Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, Lu Dongbin and the dog, the farmer and the snake, Hao Jian and the old lady.
"Hey, that's a good idea!"
Fang Yao's words gave Zhao Jing a surprise and made her agree more.
"Haha...... Haha......" Fang Yan laughed helplessly, somewhat regretting his actions just now.
In fact, Fang Yan has a small abacus, and when he starts a company later, he must have a trustworthy person to manage it.
Fang Yao is her sister and an accountant, so it is very reassuring for her to take care of the company's finances.
After eating, Fang Yan patted his belly with satisfaction, and went directly back to the room to make up for sleep.
That's good at home, you don't need to worry about anything, you can do whatever you want.
After a few days of leisurely time, the Spring Festival has finally arrived.
