It is said that after the end of the "two festivals" of the Farming Festival and the Farming Festival, the Ferry Slope Manor has officially entered the track of rapid development.

The ferry slope in summer is the most beautiful time of the year. The blue sky, the blazing sun, the surging summer wind, the verdant dripping eyes, the non-stop birdsong in the ears, and the occasional roar of the water, the sound converges, and the scenery blends, making people feel like they are in paradise.

A week later, on the weekend, Professor Fang and his daughter, Professor Fang Fang, walked into Tong Hua's home.

Tong Hua was not at home at that time, there were only four people at home, Tong Father, Tong Mother, Luo Ma and Luo Tong, and they had never dealt with Professor Fang's father and daughter before, of course they didn't know each other. However, the people of the ferry slope have been hospitable since ancient times, and although they are strangers, the father and mother still welcome Professor Fang's father and daughter into the house like guests, and give them tea and water.

Professor Fang introduced himself, a professor at an agricultural university in southern China, and an expert in aquaculture. He pointed to Fang Fang again and said, she is my daughter, a professor at Agricultural University, and a planting expert.

Father Tong was surprised: "It turns out that you are the breeding expert who came to support the manor!" I can't imagine that father and daughter are as powerful. ”

Father Tong suddenly remembered that Tong Hua had told him about the professor, but he didn't react for a while. Today, I suddenly remembered that I had met again, and I was naturally pleasantly surprised.

The child's father immediately asked the child's mother to move out all the souvenirs in the family, all of which Professor Fang and Fang Fang had never seen.

Fang Fang picked up a piece of black and red sweet potato chips with his hand, chewed it, and said happily: "Dad, isn't this the taste you want?" ”

Professor Fang also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and said, "It's a good taste, no additives, pure and natural." ”

The child's mother simply poured out all the sweet potato chips stored in the secret jar.

The boy said, "If it's delicious, you can eat it all, this was made last autumn, and you won't eat it until this autumn." ”

Professor Fang said, "Brother. "It doesn't feel right," he said, right? ”

The boy said, "I am seventy years old this year. ”

Professor Fang said: "That's right, you are the elder brother, I am sixty-five years old this year, and my daughters are forty years old. ”

The child's mother said kindly: "I can't see it, I'm so young!" ”

Professor Fang waved his hand: "I'm not young anymore, I've been retired for a few years." ”

Luo's mother, who was sitting quietly and taking care of Luo Tong, couldn't help but interject: "Then go to the ferry slope to stay for a long time, this place is a paradise for the elderly." Look at me, I came from all the way to Sichuan, and I haven't been back since I came. I don't plan to go back in my life. ”

Professor Fang looked at Luo's mother: "You are Tong Hua's mother-in-law, right?" ”

Luo's mother replied proudly: "Yes, Tong Hua is my daughter-in-law." It's a pity that my son is not blessed, leaving her mother and son and me, a lonely old woman, gone. ”

Professor Fang sighed and said, "The past is gone, old girl, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, you have to protect your body, for the sake of your grandson, live well, and enjoy this happy day." ”

Luo's mother overflowed with tears: "If it weren't for the ferry, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to have the confidence to live as a widow." ”

Professor Fang had heard Tong Feng talk about Tong Hua's husband and in-laws. I am deeply sympathetic to Luo's mother's experience, but I am still envious of Luo's mother who can finally settle down on the ferry slope to recuperate.

Professor Fang handed a cup of tea to Luo's mother and comforted: "Old girl, you are not a widow, look at it, you have grandchildren, and you will be very happy with our brothers and sisters." ”

Luo's mother nodded movingly.

Professor Fang saw a photo on the throne, and at the bottom of the photo was written Master Tong Songjian.

Tong Songjian? Isn't that the benefactor that my father often mentions? Professor Fang was overjoyed, he couldn't imagine that the benefactor he was looking for was related to Tong Hua, and he easily found it.

Professor Fang has come to the ferry slope for the third time, and the first two times he came and left in a hurry, putting the matter of finding a benefactor on hold. This time, he brought his daughter Fang Fang with him, for two purposes, one is to sign a volunteer service contract with the manor, and the other is to assist him in finding a benefactor. He planned to inquire about his benefactor from Tong Hua, but he didn't expect to discover the new world before he saw Tong Hua.

Seeing that Professor Fang's gaze never left the portrait of his late father in the Divine Kitchen, Father Tong said, "That's my late father, named Tong Songjian, who served as the branch secretary of the ferry slope for thirty years, and passed away ten years ago. ”

It is true that the benefactor is Tong Songjian, Tong Hua's grandfather.

Professor Fang and Fang Fang suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times to the statue of Tong Songjian.

The boy was stunned, not knowing what was going on. Mother Tong and Mother Luo stayed aside and were also stunned. None of the three went to help Professor Fang's father and daughter get up.

At this time, Tong Hua walked in the door and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of her. She hurriedly dragged Professor Fang's father and daughter up, and looked at the three elders and nagged for a while.

The boy's father felt aggrieved and said, "It's not that I don't help up, but I haven't reacted yet, why do the father and daughter kneel!" ”

In fact, Tong Hua knew very well in her heart that Professor Fang and Fang Fang knelt down because they had found a benefactor, and it was the benefactor who knelt down, that is, Tong Songjian, Tong Hua's grandfather.

Tong Hua whispered to the child's father and mother Luo's mother: "Professor Fang's father and daughter kneel down to thank the benefactor!" ”

Father Tong was puzzled: "How is your grandfather Professor Fang's benefactor?" ”

Tong Hua told the story of a young man told her by her grandfather twenty years ago. At that time, my grandfather was the secretary of the brigade, and this educated youth suddenly fell ill and was in danger. Grandpa organized the villagers to send him to the county hospital on a stretcher, and personally took care of him in the hospital for more than ten days, and after he was discharged from the hospital, he took him home until he fully recovered. Since then, Grandpa has become the benefactor of the educated youth.

The child's father suddenly realized and asked Professor Fang, "Could it be that you are the son of that sick young man?" ”

Professor Fang said: "That educated youth is my father Fang Chun. The old man often told me about this person in the ferrypo, and especially told me that I wanted to find Tong Songjian's benefactor, and I should always remember him, repay him, and be grateful to him. ”

Fang Fang took out a large envelope from the shoulder bag he was carrying, and the envelope was bulging, and it seemed that there was a lot of weight. She stuffed the envelope into the hand of the child's father and said, "Uncle, thank you for the selfless care of the Tong family for our family!" One of the things that grandpa regretted the most during his lifetime was that he didn't have time to return to the ferry slope in his lifetime, thank his benefactor. This is the 10,000 yuan that my grandfather has saved all his life, which was personally given to me by my grandfather when he passed away, and asked me to hand it over to my benefactor or the descendants of my benefactor. Uncle, you must accept it, so that I can comfort my grandfather's spirit in heaven. ”

But the boy's father refused to accept it, and forced the envelope back into Fang Fang's hand.

Fang Fang Nayi stuffed the envelope back to the child's father.

The boy shoved the envelope back into Fang Fang.

In this way, the envelope went back and forth between the child's father and Fang Fang.

Professor Fang had a new idea, took the envelope from Fang Fang's hand, walked to the Divine Kitchen, bowed three times to the statue, and carefully placed the envelope in front of the statue.

Tong Hua wanted to take the envelope from the god kitchen, but was stopped by Tong Father.

So why did the young father stop it? According to the folk customs of the ferry, the things that go to the shrine are the things of the ancestors, and they can no longer be given away, especially those with foreign surnames. Otherwise, it will be unlucky.

Father Tong hugged his fists with the other professor and said, "In this case, on behalf of my father under Jiuquan, thank Uncle Fang!" ”

This means that the envelope and the money have been received.

Professor Fang was happy, and Fang Fang was even happier.

Fang Fang hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, uncle, for letting me complete the task assigned to me by my grandfather before he died." ”

Professor Fang hugged Father Tong tightly and called out to Big Brother from the bottom of his heart. The boy replied. Since then, the two have become brothers.

Fang Fang hugged Tong Hua tightly and called his sister. Tong Hua responded with a sister. The two cried with joy and became their favorite sisters ever since.

Tong Hua pulled out Wenbi's phone and told her to prepare a banquet at the farmhouse at noon.

The writer replied that Professor Fang had already booked five tables of banquets at the farmhouse. He also said that he had paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan in advance.

Tong Hua said, you are responsible for returning the deposit.

These words were heard by both Professor Fang and Fang Fang.

Professor Fang was unhappy and said, "If you refund the deposit, it is equivalent to returning my uncle." ”

Fang Fang was also unhappy and said: "I paid for the money, isn't there a custom on the ferry, can't the money paid be recycled?" ”

When it comes to customs, the law of the ancestors, Tonghua has nothing to say. She gave Fang Fang a thumbs up, which was regarded as accepting Fang Fang's invitation.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance. The spirit was refreshed, and time flew like it was time for lunch.

The Manor Farmhouse Ballroom is both a restaurant and a conference hall, as well as ...... There is also a place to play mahjong and have fun

Professor Fang and Fang Fangjing greeted the guests at the entrance of the hall.

The first guests to arrive were Tong Yi and Tong Yidao. It was these two people who brought Professor Fang from Guangdong to the ferry, so Professor Fang had a special affection for them.

The second batch of guests who arrived were Huo Gang, Lei Ming, Head Liu, Director Hong, and Yu Yangwei. These people were the literati and ink writers who often appeared in the manor, and Professor Fang admired them very much, and all of them made friends.

The third group of guests are the large and small managers of the manor, so if you don't introduce them one by one, you must know who they are, right?

The last batch of guests to arrive are the ace guests, they are Tong Father, Tong Mother, Luo Ma, Luo Tong, Tong Hua, and one is a special guest Secretary Li.

A hurricane of applause rang out at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Professor Fang pressed down with his hands, the applause stopped, and he said: "I invite everyone to lunch today, for one purpose, that is, to let everyone know the fact that our family's great benefactor in the ferry slope has been found, and he is Tong Hua's grandfather, Tong Songjian. ”

Once again, hurricane-like applause rang out.

Everyone followed Professor Fang into the banquet hall.
