At the end of January, Fang Yi returned to the village and brought his father Fang Youcai to the city. After buying the house, Fang Yi wanted Fang Youcai to come to the city, but Fang Youcai couldn't leave his homeland, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, Fang Anzhi is about to come back, the old man thinks about his grandson, and also wants to see how his son bought a house in the city, and experience the feeling of going upstairs and downstairs, so he agreed to Fang Yi to come to the city for the New Year.

Before coming, Fang Youcai gave the key to the courtyard gate to the neighbor and asked the neighbor to help take care of the chickens and ducks at home. Fang Yi couldn't let his neighbor show the house and feed the chickens in vain, so he privately gave the neighbor's second uncle 2,000 yuan. In these years, you have to talk about economic benefits for everything, and if you don't give money, who will give you free labor! "Money" is not a thing, but it is easy to use.

Fang Yi looked at the packed trunk, speechless for a while, the chickens, ducks and half of the sheep sent by the son were loaded, even the frozen persimmons were brought, in order to prevent the persimmons from turning into a car, the old man made a large plastic basin, filled a pot full of frozen persimmons and covered with a small quilt.

"Dad, if you get it like this, won't all the persimmons in it have to melt!" Fang Yi was puzzled.

"What do you know, in the past, your father and I used to sell popsicles in the streets and alleys in the summer, and they used quilts, this thing is so good, you don't care." Fang Youcai had an expression of "boy, you are still tender", and Fang Yi was very helpless.

There is half a month before the New Year, and the consulting units have begun to hold annual meetings one after another, and Wan Kefa has been rushing to the scene.

When Yunwu Tea House and Shengfeng Group held an annual meeting, Fang Yi also went, this year Fang Yi did not help Yunmei, of course, he did not earn less lawyer fees, and now Yunmei has a firm foothold in the Tea Association, and the other party Yi is very grateful. Not to mention Sister Lan, she will basically call Fang Yi when she encounters difficulties.

That afternoon, Li Shuming's family returned from Germany with Fang Anzhi, Fang Yi went to the train station to pick them up, and on the way, Ouyang of Defa Group called him and asked him if he had any arrangements the night after tomorrow, and Ouyang always invited Fang Yi to dinner.

Fang Yi understood that Mr. Ouyang must have found a lawyer for helping Ouyang Jie develop his legal business, and expressed his gratitude to himself, so he agreed to Mr. Ouyang's banquet.

The relationship needs to move around a lot, although Ouyang Jie didn't introduce much business to himself, he often invited himself to dinner, and the relationship was relatively close. With many friends and multiple roads, the Ouyang family still has some resources, and in the future, they will put an easter egg out to make a profit.

After Fang Yi picked up Li Shuming's family and son Fang Anzhi, he wanted to pick them up and wash the dust, but everyone was too tired after a day of planes and trains, so they had to give up.

Fang Yi saw that Fang Anzhi's state was much stronger than before, and he was happy in his heart. After dinner, Fang Anzhi opened the suitcase and took out a pair of sunglasses and gave them to Fang Yi: "Dad, this is what I bought from the German thrift market, authentic Ray-Ban sunglasses, pilots wore this during World War II." Uncle Li said it was genuine. ”

After Fang Yi took the glasses, he praised his son a few words, and then brought them to try it out, which was just right, and sighed secretly: My son has grown up and knows how to give gifts to his father.

Then Fang Anzhi took out a vest with one fur and gave it to his grandfather, Fang Youle couldn't close his mouth, and put it on and tried it on under the urging of his grandson, which fit very well.

Fang Yi saw that there was a beautiful pure wool shawl in the suitcase, no need to ask if it was for Cao Xiaohui, Fang Yi pretended not to see it, and urged Fang Anzhi to pack the suitcase, move into the small bedroom, and prepare to eat.

Before the Chinese New Year, Fang Yi's entertainment continued, first the Ouyang family, followed by the senior brother Zhou Shen, Sister Lan, and colleagues in the institute.

Secretary Wu is a good person, and he knows that Fang Yi is currently in the local lawyer circle, so he also intends to pull in the relationship in case of emergency.

This is the first time that the Fang family has spent the New Year in the city, and it is also the first time since Fang Yi and Cao Xiaohui divorced that the family of three got together for the Spring Festival. The family has no relatives in the city, but Fang Yi has many old friends who need to visit the New Year. Fang Anzhi's smile was much more than before, and he hid his concern for his mother deep in his heart.

The Spring Festival holiday passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the holiday was coming to an end, and Fang Anzhi was more director than before, so he was in the house to review his homework and prepare to get back the lost ranking after the start of school.

A few days after returning from vacation, Lawyer Song found Fang Yi and told him that Cao Xiaohui was now in the hospital, and she was afraid that she would not be able to support her for long, and she wanted to meet Fang Anzhi.

Fang Yi was not a hard-hearted person at all, so he agreed to take Fang Anzhi to see her. That night, Fang Yi told Fang Anzhi about Cao Xiaohui's physical condition. Fang Anzhi bit his lip and tried not to let himself cry, but tears poured out honestly. Another sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Fang Yi drove Fang Anzhi to the hospital, and met Lawyer Song and Li Mingbo at the gate of the hospital. Originally, Li Mingbo didn't need to come over for this matter today, but Fang Yi helped him before, and he felt that he should come over to take care of it.

In the inpatient ward, on the white sheets, Cao Xiaohui has a tube inserted in her body, and she no longer has the demeanor of the past. At this time, she was like a candle about to burn out, her body was thin, her skin was like a deflated eggplant that had lost moisture, her eyes were full of pain, but she still stubbornly persisted, because she was still obsessed with it.

When Fang Yi walked into the ward, Old Man Cao and Mother Cao were sitting in front of the hospital bed crying.

After Fang Anzhi walked into the ward, he almost didn't recognize his mother, the contrast between before and after was too great. At this time, Cao Xiaohui's breathing was weak, and she had a lot of effort to speak, but the moment she saw Fang Anzhi enter the door, she immediately came to her senses and wanted to sit up, but she tried twice without success.

After seeing his mother on the hospital bed, Fang Anzhi's mind was blank, and he was stunned on the spot, he couldn't believe that the mother who was once high-spirited and said that she would take him around the world would become like this.

Fang Yi was also very surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Cao Xiaohui to change so much. Fang Yi walked over and patted his son's arm, motioning for him to sit down in front of the hospital bed.

Seeing that Fang Anzhi and Fang Yi were coming, Old Man Cao picked up his wife, walked outside the ward, and said in a low voice when he walked past Fang Yi: "Thank you!" ”

Fang Yi didn't know what to say, just nodded.

Fang Anzhi walked quickly to the hospital bed, holding Cao Xiaohui's dry and weak hand with both hands, his eyes were already moist at this time, and tears crossed his face and fell on his mother's hand, but he didn't know it.

Cao Xiaohui's painful eyes showed a hint of relief, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, her lips moved slightly, and Fang Anzhi put her ear in front of her mother's mouth and listened while crying.

Seeing this, Fang Yi turned around and walked out of the ward softly, gently closed the door, and left time to the mother and son. There were only Lee Myung-bak and Lawyer Song in the corridor, and the old couple of the Cao family were crying bitterly on the bench in the garden in the courtyard.
