Chapter 114 Family Meeting
The backbone of the Fang family is only Wu Lanlan alone, and she can't carry such a heavy burden at all. So the Fang family also held several small meetings for this purpose. Of course, Wu Lanlan has always had to participate. There are some things, without Wu Lanlan's nod, the closest uncles, aunts, sisters-in-law and sisters can't be the masters. For example, the material used for coffin plates? The number of days of condolence and the size of the fire warehouse (referring to the opening of the seat)? The grade of the band, the allocation of manpower, chanting, digging and sealing holes, and so on. Although everyone will participate, it is Wu Lanlan who makes the final decision. If Wu Lanlan doesn't nod, the best plan to discuss will be put on hold.
Everyone also fully considered the actual difficult situation of Fang Yunqing's family, and asked the other party Qiuxiang's funeral to be handled simply and quickly, and try to use the simplest form to facilitate this funeral.
Wu Lanlan did not inform Xu Yunqin of Fang Qiuxiang's death. Xu Yunqin had already said in the letter that he was not going to go home for the Spring Festival this year, and he would not rush back unless Qiu Xiang couldn't stand it. He didn't say much in the letter, which shows that Yun Qin has been unhappy until now. If Yun Qin recovers his mentality and his spirit is not so decadent, maybe Wu Lanlan will also send him a telegram to report his funeral.
Fang Qiuxiang's funeral couldn't be simpler, and it couldn't be faster. Everything was simple and fast, and it only took two days for him to be buried in the ground.
Now the other top priority in front of Wu Lanlan and the Fang clan is the question of how to deal with Fan Rongjuan. Everyone thought that it was impossible to keep her in the Fang family, and it was illegal to force her to stay. But Fang Qiuxiang's flesh and blood must be kept. Now, the biggest difficulty is the question of who will raise Fang Qiuxiang's flesh and blood after leaving it? If this problem is not completely solved, everything will remain empty in the end. Wu Lanlan is already under a lot of pressure at present, not to mention the old and the young, and there is a daughter who is paralyzed in bed and needs to be taken care of, and she alone cannot survive.
Wu Lanlan went home early because she had beforehand. The meeting could have been put on hold for the time being, but Xu Zhiguo raised a question that made everyone excited and surprised.
Xu Zhiguo said: I have been thinking about Fang Yunqing's family for a long time, I will talk about this matter tonight, all of you here are close people of the same clan and clan of Yunqing, as long as you think this matter is feasible, I think everyone should go and persuade Wu Lanlan to find a family affair to solve her current situation.
Only by letting Wu Lanlan find a son-in-law to support the family together, then if someone does the work on the Fang family's farmland, the Fang family's economy will slowly become more flexible, and her family can have hope and hope for the future. Otherwise, I really can't think of a better way to solve the practical problems of Fang Yunqing's family.
One person asked: "This is a good solution, but it is also possible." But first of all, we must seek Wu Lanlan's personal opinion, and the biggest difficulty is where do we find such a suitable person for a while? ”
Xu Zhiguo seemed to be confident and said: Of course, this matter needs to be agreed and affirmed by Wu Lanlan herself, and this is the prerequisite factor. If Wu Lanlan does not agree, all the following things cannot be implemented. Of course, we must respect Wu Lanlan's personal choice. Perhaps Wu Lanlan is not fully aware of the importance and urgency of this step now. Of course, her ideological work must be done by all of us, and I am sure she will agree.
Li Kemin nodded first and spoke: "I am very much in praise of this plan of the comrade country, to completely solve the follow-up family life problem of Fang Yunqing's family, you can only start from the source, everyone can tell their own opinions, right?" ”
Liang Yong, who had been smoking and didn't speak, put the cigarette butt out on the bench at this time and said: "I have also been thinking about these thorny issues of Fang Yunqing's family, it can be said that now we need to use our brains and work hard to properly handle the affairs of Fang Yunqing's family." Fang Yunqing's family has changed too quickly and tragically in the past few years, making everyone feel at a loss. Since the death of his wife, in just a few years, a good home has almost fallen from heaven to hell. This may be a creation that made people and knocked Fang Yunqing down with a hammer. We are all the closest people in his family, if we don't help him, who will help? Of course, our own family also has problems and difficulties of one kind or another, but compared to the misfortune of Fang Yunqing's family, we already feel very honored. ”
Once awakened, the power of silence is endless, and Liang Yong's speech is loud and clear. Everyone was encouraged by it and agreed with Xu Zhiguo's proposal. Now it is necessary to find Wu Lanlan herself, no matter what Wu Lanlan thinks about this matter, everyone's starting point must be kind and constructive, and the wishes are also good.
Xu Zhiguo said that he would find a good man for Wu Lanlan to be satisfied with, and he couldn't say that he was 100% satisfied, but he was definitely a first-class and relatively good match.
Wu Lanlan herself was soon called over. In order to be able to persuade Wu Lanlan to recruit a son-in-law as soon as possible, everyone had already brought all the women that Wu Lanlan trusted over to participate in this seminar, and emphasized to them in advance the urgency and importance of Wu Lanlan's need for such a person. In this way, almost all the women in the courtyard participated: Bao Yumei, Jin Xiaoju, Zhangshupo, Fang Caiyu, all called over, Fang Caihe heard that it was to give Wu Lanlan a man's matter, so he came to Fang Caiyu's house very early. In this way, there was no one left in the courtyard who did not come to this meeting.
Except for not looking for Fang Yunqing, Fang Caiyu's living room was already full of people.
Wu Lanlan came in and began to get nervous when she saw so many people, she didn't know that everyone was paying so much attention to her personal affairs.
Fang Rende waited for Wu Lanlan to sit down and then spoke first: "Lanlan, everyone can get together today, and they are very concerned about the problems of life and production that you will face later. Everyone thinks that if you can't completely solve your next problems at one time, not only will you Wu Lanlan herself not have a bright future in the future, but it will also be a troublesome matter in our entire Fang clan. You Wu Lanlan is the most amazing daughter-in-law in our Fang clan, although your family's experience is sympathetic and regrettable, we also try our best to help and support you with our meager strength. But this help and support is only temporary, tiny, and very limited, and it is far from solving the big problems of your whole family, and the best efforts are nothing more than a drop in the bucket. ”
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Xu Zhiguo and his son Xu Yunqin for their selfless help and silent dedication. As you know, Xu Yunqin's experience is also deeply sympathetic and regretful to everyone, and I won't mention these more. However, even if you work hardest, you can't always help your family go down, and each family has a difficult scripture to read. As a result, everyone's help is very limited and insignificant. The most important problem is to be solved by yourself, and I think everyone has worked together for you. Of course, what we all are most eager and looking forward to is your personal opinion and approval. If you give you a negative rejection of the proposal we have proposed below, we will definitely respect your personal choice. Having said all this, I haven't touched on the true essence of the problem, I'll sell it here first, and then your wife will explain this matter to you. ”
Wu Lanlan didn't know what everyone was going to ask her to make a choice. Since so many people gathered tonight to discuss issues for her family, she was naturally grateful. But Wu Lanlan doesn't know how to express her position yet.
Because she didn't know what she needed to commit to so many elders. Zhangshu Po smiled and said: "Lan Lan, don't be nervous, they are all a family, even if I say something inappropriate and appropriate, don't be angry, our starting point must be for your good." ”
Wu Lanlan said: "Wife, just say it directly, I will definitely not oppose and make trouble from it." ”
Fang Caihe smiled and said, "Lan Lan, wait a minute, Grandma will tell you about this matter as it is, you have to think carefully, don't be in a hurry to express your position." ”
Lan Lan especially dislikes Fang Caihe and her mother. Others are at least very straightforward and clear, only this Fang Caihe likes to tell right and wrong the most. But there was no malice in Fang Caihe's words just now, Wu Lanlan had no choice but to nod and say, "Aunt Caihe is also right, I, Wu Lanlan, will listen carefully to the words of the elders." ”
Zhangshu Po continued: "Lan Lan, it has been more than ten years since you married into the Fang family, and I have also watched you take care of the Fang family so thoughtfully and comprehensively, this is where all our old women should learn." Your family is facing greater difficulties than ever before, so everyone wants to come up with the best solution for your family, which can relieve you of your heavy personal burden, reduce your mental stress, and may also help you slowly get out of the situation. Now, everyone thinks you need to find a good helper to help you out. ”
Wu Lanlan began to listen very carefully, but when she heard the end, her mind went blank. Her head ached for no apparent reason, so much so that she sat motionless as if she were a clay sculpture of wood.
Jin Xiaoju echoed and said: "Yes, Lan Lan, a person like you is really too tired to live, and I also worry about you, if you can find a satisfactory person to come over and share this responsibility with you, it is what everyone wants to see." Of course, we're just giving you advice, and it's up to you to make the final decision. ”
