Fang Zhan didn't say anything more to Shang Ji and turned to Li Langzhong's house.

Li Langzhong's house was directly north of Fang Zhan's house, Fang Zhan walked outside the gate, and saw Li Xuanyi holding a wooden basin, hurriedly walked out, and saw Fang Zhan head-on, his face was unhappy, and said, "Where did you go yesterday?"

Seeing her face, Fang Zhan was stunned and said, "I went to the old house, what's wrong?"

Li Xuanyi held the basin and handed it to Fang Zhan: "Look! You're not at home, my father is so drunk that he vomits blood, he can't stand it once, he's still a langzhong!"

Fang Zhan glanced at the wooden basin, and the smell of wine was strong.

"From yesterday to now, I vomit whatever I give him to eat, and I don't know what's wrong, it's never been like this. Drink at your house, you don't know why?"

Fang Zhan shook his head: "I really don't know, I'm not at home." ”

"Are you here?"

"Well, it's fine. ”

"Ahem! I see that he will dare to drink it in the future!

"Forget it, I won't make trouble for you!"

When Fang Zhan returned home, Fang Ping was weaving bamboo baskets. Fang Zhan sat down beside his father and looked at his father fixedly.

Fang Ping said: "What's wrong?"

Fang Zhan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No!"

Fang Ping said: "You can't ask, I've been trying for many years, and I can't ask!" They have always known that we are doubting, but they are only doubting, they don't say it, they can only prove one thing!"

Fang Zhan looked at his father suspiciously.

Fang Ping said: "Originally, I was just guessing, just fantasizing, but now, I can be sure." When Fang Ping said this, he turned his head to look at Fang Zhan, and said word by word: "Your mother is still alive!"

After Fang Zhan came back from the old house, this was just one thing that kept going through his mind. After hearing his father say it so surely, his heart was shocked and he asked, "How are you sure?"

Fang Ping said: "Yesterday, the four of them came to drink for no reason and didn't speak. Prove that they know that I told you about your mother. They don't stop it, they don't have a showdown, but they just drink all the time, what does it mean?"

Fang Zhan thought for a while and said slowly: "They are also very depressed, even if they are about to go crazy, they are also venting. However, it can only be concealed like this. ”

Fang Ping looked at his son calmly and said, "They know that we are suspicious, but they just don't dare to say it, why?"

Fang Zhan was silent for a long time and said, "If my mother dies, they tell us what the two of us can do." It doesn't affect anything in the slightest!"

Fang Ping retracted his gaze, continued to weave the bamboo basket, and said: "So, your mother must still be alive!" So, they have been planning all these years, and if they don't tell us, they are afraid of extraneous branches, after all, the two of us can't help anything, so we can only wait!"

Fang Zhan looked at the burns on his father's face, felt a sour feeling in his heart, and said, "What kind of person is my mother?"

Fang Ping stopped in his hand, slowly raised his head, and said, "Your mother's ...... Gentle, kind. I never lose my temper, and I smile when I get along with whomever I am.

When she sees a chick that has been injured and can't fly, she will pick it up and release it back when the injury is healed.

She loves to eat the tofu milled next door. She loves to eat wild vegetables dug up in the mountains. She loves to eat the grass mushrooms that grow in the fields.

Can drink, hey, I can't drink her. I like to wear a long light blue dress.

On the morning of the second day of marriage, she got up to make breakfast, and her face was black and red from the smoke, and her little hands were marked by firewood.

But he was very happy.

That's what life is, she said.

Hey, that's really ...... Later, she finally learned to make a fire and cook, and she did it well.

I especially love to make bamboo shoots, which are very delicious.

It's okay, she will move a small bamboo stool and sit at the door and watch me weave the bamboo basket.

On rainy days, she is happiest and will go out for a walk with an umbrella.

On snowy days, she would put on her cloak in search of plum blossoms. (Fang Zhan watched as tears slowly flowed from his father's eyes, but there was a smile on his face, he didn't dissuade him and continued to listen.) I didn't know how to grow vegetables, I taught her by hand, and she was very happy to learn.

Later, when the turnips she planted grew up, she went to pluck them, and that day she ...... She was as happy as a child.

She made wine, in August, when she was still pregnant with you, she made some wine with osmanthus, but she didn't have time to drink it yet. Ahem, it's a pity.

Doesn't do needlework. The hair is long, smooth, like a waterfall flowing down, and I have never seen a woman more beautiful than your mother.

When we went to the market to sell bamboo baskets and calligraphy and paintings, whenever we got money from the sale, she would be naïve like a child. Then, together we went to buy her favorite dresses and to buy paper for me.

But I always knew that she should never have known what poverty was.

I like to put paper kites, especially like it. He often pulls me and goes to the field to release paper kites. The paper kite flies, and she will cheer.

Later, as her belly grew larger, she saw the little shoes and clothes worn by the babies in the market, and she couldn't walk, but looked and looked.

She bought some fabric herself, and wanted to make clothes for you herself, and I persuaded her, but she only vaguely agreed, and she would continue to do it, and continue to tie her hands. She ......"

Fang Ping said this in one breath, he couldn't say any more, and he didn't cry out, his face was full of tears, he was holding back. After a long time, he calmed down.

Neither father nor son spoke. It's been a long time.

Fang Zhan's eyes moved to the bamboo basket in his father's hand and said, "How many are these?"

Fang Ping said as he made it up: "Eight thousand nine hundred and seventy-five!"

"It's really nine thousand nine hundred and ninety, and my mother will come back?"

Fang Ping stopped and glanced up at the pear tree: "I don't know! In that case, she said this, maybe just to give me and you hope!"

Fang Zhan was silent.

After a while, Fang Zhan asked, "We really can't do anything?"

Fang Ping turned his head, looked at him, and said, "If your mother has a rival, it is also an opponent that you and I can't even think of, and that night's Tianhuo was aimed at her." Meteor showers, tremors, and burning, that is not something that we ordinary people can imagine and challenge. If they could do anything, the four of them wouldn't have to hold on to telling us until now. If I could do anything, I wouldn't wait until today!"

Fang Zhan was silent again.

Fang Ping continued to weave the bamboo basket and said, "Be yourself, you can only do this!"

Fang Zhan returned to his room, sat in front of the window, and looked at the pear trees outside. Sitting for a long time. He was analyzing step by step in his heart, and in the end, he said to himself: "Dad's doing his best is that my mother asked him to bring me up, and my father did it and did it very well." What about me?"

In the afternoon, Fang Zhan went to Master Xun's.

"Master, I'll borrow some books."

Master Xun smiled: "Go get it yourself." ”

Fang Zhan said: "Let me say it first, these books are not for me to read. ”

Master Xun was stunned: "Who is that for?"

Fang Zhan said: "You just say whether to borrow or not, right?"

Master Xun shook his head helplessly: "Take it yourself." ”

"Probably a lot. ”

"How much?"

"Take it first...... Fifty copies!"

Xun Fuzi was stunned: "Borrow so much, who will you show it?"

"You just say borrow it or not!"

Master Xun tilted his head and sighed: "Take it yourself!"

Fang Zhan went to the top of the bookshelf in the inner room, searched for a long time, turned out fifty books, and finally, stacked them together, divided into three stacks. Tie up the ropes. At the top of the three stacks, mark the order of each.

Before leaving, he said, "Put it here first, and I'll call someone to pick it up tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, Fang Zhan found Shang Ke and said, "You and Xuanyi help me run." ”

Shang Ke was stunned: "Where to go?"

Fang Zhan said: "Go to the town Zhou Mansion." ”

Shang Ke laughed and said, "Do you agree to be Zhou Jiyuan's teacher?"

Fang Zhan said: "Send back the gift he sent." And the books I want him to read, in the order I arranged them for him. Tell him to be a friend, I want to, but not his teacher. Tell me when you're done. ”

Fang Zhan arranged everything, went alone, and went to the old house again.

Sit down in the basement and close your eyes.

said: "Bud, let's talk!"
