Xu Zhiguo's move was the happiest and most solemn family event of the Xu family. However, Xu Zhiguo's family is almost finished, and several of his relatives and friends don't know about his family's move today.

Now, Xu Zhiguo first carried his family's miscellaneous items with a burden and first sent some things to the new home of the Fang family's courtyard. These miscellaneous items are worthless in the eyes of Jin Xiaoju, who loves hygiene: a pile of worn-out cotton jackets, patched shirts, badly faded cotton yarns, smoked cotton silks that are colorless and recognizable, and some cloth shoes with exposed toenails on the top, which one is satisfying?

Xu Zhiguo refused to throw away these things, so let him enjoy them alone, Jin Xiaoju looked helpless and very angry.

Xu Yunqin was beaten before he honestly followed his mother to this strange new home, and tears were still hanging on his face. Yun Qin was afraid of the dark, he didn't dare to enter the black and smoky house, so he stood at the door of the house and looked.

Xu Zhiguo sent things and turned back to pull them. Jin Xiaoju wanted to tidy up her new home, so Xiao Yunqin slowly followed her mother into the house carefully, and her younger brothers and sisters all ran outside to play in the yard.

A little girl in the neighborhood poked her head in from the door to look at the house, the little girl was not very tall, and she was only seven or eight years old this year. Her head was tied with small braids, which were tied to the roots of her hair in layers of two red wool threads, which were yellow and dry. The little girl was yellow and thin, obviously malnourished. She was wearing a floral cotton cloth dress, black open crotch straight pants, her face was written with a lot of confusion and incomprehension, and her big eyes kept scanning everything in the whole house. Whether it was the people or the things in this room, everything made the little girl very curious: where did they come from, and what did they come here for?

Xu Yunqin soon found the little girl who was curiously looking at the door, he quickly walked over and stopped in front of the little girl, and said very unfriendly: "Go away, who asked you to peek at our move." ”

The little girl didn't leave immediately, just looked at Xu Yunqin and said, "What are you doing here, this is not your home?" ”

"Who said it's not my home, this is my home, you go away, go away, hurry up, you're not welcome here."

"I mean, this is not your home, and you can't live here, this is the old house of our Fang family." The little girl said stubbornly.

"Are you leaving? This is my house, my dad just bought it, hurry up and walk away. Xu Yunqin pushed the little girl and said.

"I'm not leaving, I used to come here a lot to play, why don't you let me in?" The little girl said stubbornly.

"If you don't enter, you don't want to enter, now it's my house, who can go in and can't go in, I have the final say." Xu Yunqin pushed Fang Caili hard again.

"I'll go tell my brother that if you beat me, he will beat you for me." Fang Caili left aggrievedly.

"It's great that you have a brother, and I also have my brother to help, who is afraid of whom?" Xu Yunqin said contemptuously at the back of Fang Caili who walked into her house.

Fang Caili has four older sisters, an older brother, and a younger brother. All of her sisters are married, and her brother is not yet married. Fang Caili is only eight years old this year, and she will be able to go to primary school in the second half of the year.

Xu Zhiguo's current home was originally Fang Yunling's ancestral home. This Fang Yunling was originally a folk alchemist, with some geographical culture, and he also knew some medical skills and home remedies. In the early years, he learned some witchcraft from nowhere, and in this way, this Fang Yunling became a very controversial person. Some people say that he is talented and a righteous man; Some people say that he is nondescript and has been abducted and deceived for a long time.

This Fang Yunling has been running around with his father Fang Renliang since he was a child. Fang Renliang is a very famous feng shui gentleman, who is well-known in the surrounding three counties and eight townships. It is said that Fang Renliang's biggest spender was to be invited to Fenghua Xikou to see the ancestral tomb for Chiang's mother, and was rewarded with Chiang Kai-shek's own money.

Because of this large amount of foreign money as the capital, Fang Renliang's other businesses in the future have developed day by day. Since then, Fang Renliang has rarely been seen in his hometown of Shanghu Village.

Fang Renliang came to Shanghu to take away Fang Yunling, which was still fresh in the hearts of the old people in the courtyard of the Fang family.

That year, it was already the wax moon. Fang Rende said: "This is the seventh day of the lunar month of the year before liberation, and there are very few people in Fang's compound who are active outside, because the weather is very cold on this day, and everyone is afraid of freezing and cold outside.

On this day, Fang Renliang came. This Fang Renliang was not tall, wearing a fur fox hat on his head, a thick cotton coat, dark gray trousers, and a pair of warm shoes on his feet. Fang Rende later said so.

At less than three o'clock that afternoon, Fang Renliang stepped in from the entrance of the stage. Fang Caihe's mother, Zhang Xueyun, happened to open the door and came out, and saw a stranger walking into the door, so she asked him who he was looking for?

Fang Renliang turned around, took off his fur hat and said, "Yunhe's daughter-in-law, why can't you even recognize me, I'm your uncle Renliang!" ”

Zhang Xueyun rubbed her eyelids and said in surprise: "It's all my fault for my cloudy eyes, I don't recognize my uncle when he comes back, I don't know how happy I will be when I see them?" ”

Fang Renliang may have gone home at this time because he didn't want to alarm his neighbors, but since Zhang Xueyun knew, it didn't matter if there was one more or less neighbor knowing now.

Because they are all members of their own family, they are all easy to speak. In addition, Fang Renliang has been outside for a long time to show the feng shui of ancestral tombs to rich and noble families, and he knows a little bit of traditional Chinese medicine, and he can be regarded as a Tulangzhong, such a person is very capable. Therefore, as soon as the men, women, and children in the courtyard of the Fang family heard that Fang Renliang himself had returned, they all flocked to his house to ask for warmth.

On the surface, Fang Renliang was polite to his own family, but behind the scenes, he was very arrogant. His wife and children at home have been taken care of by his neighbors over the years. Fang Renliang's wife is also a sensible person, knowing that her man is rich, but being rich does not mean that her family is living a good life. Fang Renliang rarely comes to the house in normal times, so staying for the living expenses of their mother and son for a long time is not very comfortable. On the contrary, the mother and son lived a little poorer than everyone else. However, the neighbors also know that their mother and son need to be taken care of more in their lives.

Fang Renliang didn't know that his wife and children would be taken care of by neighbors, and he was also relatively shrewd and capable, thinking that the money left for his wife was enough to make the mother and son live a satisfactory life.

There is nothing to say tonight, and the wife has to boil hot water for him to soak his feet after eating and drinking. Fang Renliang said to his woman while soaking his feet: "Sister Gui, the sky is about to change, I came back this time to pick up your mother and son from here, don't ask us where we are going in the future?" This time, I wanted to quietly pick up your mother and son, but now, since everyone knows that I am back, I can only go generously, you prepare at night, and we will leave tomorrow. ”

His wife was very surprised, and finally looked forward to her man's return, but the man was in a hurry to urge her to leave her home. The woman knew that leaving the house meant saying goodbye to everything here, and when she was sad, she shed tears.

Fang Renliang glanced at his woman without concealment and said, "Sister Gui, what tears are you shedding for no reason, did I say the wrong thing?" ”

Xu Guimei said: "Renliang, you haven't been home for many years, do you know how our mother and son came over?" ”

Fang Renliang said strangely: "Although I haven't been home for a whole year, what have I lost to your mother and son?" ”

Xu Guimei said sadly: "Renliang, you ask me what you have done wrong to our mother and son, let me tell you, you owe our mother and son a debt that you can't pay off in your life." ”

Fang Renliang thought that he was lucky to be out running around with food and food, and his woman would definitely be grateful to Dade, but he didn't expect her to say such a thing, so he trembled with anger and said: "Sister Gui, you are a big woman, you have nothing to do at home all day, take care of a child, you don't have to worry about food or clothing, you are not satisfied with your life like the eldest lady of a rich family, you make me very angry." Today, I kindly want to take you out to enjoy Qingfu, you are not happy, you can listen, you insist on not leaving, I am not reluctant, I will definitely go back tomorrow morning, you are willing to go, go and clean up for me now, if you don't go, the living expenses will not be given to you in the future. ”

The woman had no choice but to go to the back room to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to sort out the things that needed to be taken away.

The conversation between the husband and wife was overheard by Xiao Xingnu, a little woman who lives next door, who is usually nosy. So, that night, he told Li Zhutao that Fang Renliang was going to take his wife and children away. At this time, Li Zhutao's house was sitting with many relatives discussing the matter of preparing to take over Fang Renliang.

Everyone didn't believe that Fang Renliang was in such a hurry to move, besides, it was the cold winter wax moon, even if it was a migratory bird, it was all flying towards his nest, he Fang Renliang was good, he went home in a hurry, and he was going to move without even a butt being hot, which one of these 'singing' is this?

Everyone was talking about Fang Renliang like this, and naturally he was a little angry in his heart: Fang Renliang has been making money outside for a long time, but he doesn't take his wife and children seriously, and his wife and children are usually taken care of by our Fang clan's clansmen. Don't say anything else, you Fang Renliang is leaving, so you have to say hello to us with affection and reason, but how did this Fang family's descendants make money outside, after all, it is impossible to write the word 'Fang' upside down, right?

So everyone quietly recommended and selected a candidate, preparing for a 'moral' trial of the other party's benevolence.

Since this Fang Renliang is a character, naturally he can't be subjugated by his clansmen casually, and if he doesn't do it, not only will he not be able to achieve the effect of being 'judged', but on the contrary, he will be eaten by him alone.

Therefore, when selecting such candidates, first of all, these people must have authority in the clan, and this is not enough, they also need to be higher than him in terms of seniority before they can be tamed.

At present, there are only two such candidates, one is Fang Renfu's father Fang Yanneng and Fang Renjin's uncle Fang Yanting. In addition to the fact that these two people are higher than Renliang's generation, both of them are literate people, and their speaking skills are also good, and they know the rules of many clans.

Because after these things were discussed, it was already late at night, and in order not to affect the rest of Fang Renliang's family, everyone felt that every morning was the best time to talk about things.

There was nothing to say all night, and after dawn the next day, none of the people of the Fang family went out to work, and Zhang Xueyun's little daughter-in-law, who was obliged to open the gate, also deliberately did not open the door, and the whole courtyard seemed to be forgetful.

Fang Renliang actually has some concerns, according to his thoughts, he is preparing to take advantage of the fact that the main men in the Fang family's courtyard are going out to work, and he will take his wife and children away, which may affect him a little less. Otherwise, if the neighbors come to greet him, he will be passively embarrassed. Even if he may not come to this home again in the future, he still needs to give his people a reasonable explanation now.

Soon this impasse was broken.

The main reason is that Fang Renliang's son Fang Yunling is unwilling to leave his home. He was terrified that there was war everywhere outside. The child is simple-minded and can't stand thinking, besides, he and his mother live here and the neighborhood are very harmonious, once he goes out, he doesn't know if he will be bullied by other children?

Fang Yunling took advantage of his parents' inattention, so he broke free of his mother's hand and ran outside the house to cry loudly: "Aunts and uncles, my father is going to take us away from home, and I will lose your relatives." You have to stand up and make decisions for me, I don't want to leave you!. ”

Fang Renliang didn't expect this rebel to betray him temporarily, he hated it so much that he chased him out and grabbed his clothes and beat him violently: "I'll let you talk nonsense, I'll beat you to death, an unfilial son." ”

Fang Yanneng and Fang Yanting came forward openly at this time: "Renliang, you can't beat the child like this, besides, your child didn't do anything wrong, how can you beat him like this?" ”

Fang Renliang said angrily: "Two uncles, you don't know, this child has lacked education since he was a child, and he is usually a little unreliable when he speaks, don't protect him, see how I teach him?" ”

Fang Yanneng said: "Renliang, don't hide it, we actually knew about your preparation for moving last night, the reason why we didn't come to you to talk about this matter is that we think we will leave you more time to rest, you came yesterday, we were all very happy, and we were all discussing how to treat you well last night, if you didn't quarrel with your daughter-in-law, we didn't know about you deciding to leave so quickly, here we don't know what happened to you, but we are all related to you, It's really sad that you're walking like this. Renliang, you are a good man, the Fang family can't find a better talent than you, you are good at everything, and everyone doesn't want to expect you to bring wealth and glory to the Fang family. However, the Fang family has never treated you badly, your wife and children, everyone treats them as relatives, you say with your conscience, which point are you worthy of everyone? ”

Fang Renliang wanted to argue, but seeing that more and more people had gathered over, he knew that it was useless to say, so he had to change his mouth and say: "Uncle Neng, Uncle Yan, I have learned, Renliang has really done something wrong this time, and he will humbly accept the teachings of his elders." In order to apologize, Renliang is willing to take out five oceans to entertain the Fang clan people to apologize!

Fang Renliang feasted the Fang clan in the Fang family compound for three days, after that, everyone saw him off, and opened a table together, since then Fang Renliang has never returned to Shanghu's hometown, decades later, Fang Yunling came back to dispose of his three ancestral businesses, Fang Yunling sold the ancestral industry to Fang Rende at a low price.
