The sky is overcast.

There are many pedestrians and vehicles on Tong Li Street.

Even the shouting on the horns is harder than ever.

Pedestrians walk slowly, their clothes are mostly bright colors such as red and yellow, and their faces are full of festive smiles.

Occasionally stop in front of a stall for a long time, bargaining, and speak slowly.

Fang Nian crossed the main street, which was far more crowded than usual, turned the last corner and saw the minibus parked waiting for customers from a distance, and then remembered that today was an early holiday.

So he took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Feng's phone and asked if he could wait for him to go home for lunch.

After receiving a positive answer, Fang Nian got into the car to Daping.

The conductor came over and asked where he was, Fang Nian replied to the Hua family, and the conductor's second sentence made Fang Nian's hand move slightly.

"5 pieces. ”

Hearing this, the bystanders hurriedly said, "Why has the price risen again? Yesterday it was four yuan!"

"It's not expensive today, it's expensive the day after tomorrow!"

The conductor replied with a smile.

Only then did Fang Nian remember the unspoken rules that had been tacitly accepted at this time.

After the new year, the fare of the operating minibuses increased across the board.

Towards the end of the year, it will rise again.

The most expensive is on the first day of the first lunar month, and the fee for the whole section from Tangli to Daping will change from 5 yuan to 50 yuan.

By the second day of the first month, it will be reduced to 20 yuan.

It will return to normal after the eighth day of the new year.

In the first five or six days, and in the next seven or eight days, the prices of semi-public and semi-private buses, buses, and private bread in Tongfeng will rise.

It is a kind of unspoken rule that accumulates over time and conventions, and Fang Nian honestly pays for it.

After getting off the car at Hua's house, he just caught up with a small bread back to the village that was about to leave, and Fang Nian hurriedly walked up.

The ticket price has also increased from 1 yuan to 3 yuan.

............

............

At half past twelve, Fang Nian got off at the entrance of the village, turned onto the dirt road, and walked home along the winding river.

After arriving at Maoba, passing by the door of the neighbor's house in the same village group, occasionally he would be suddenly shouted, and Fang Nian would greet him with a smile and call his uncle and uncle.

When I walked past the south side of Lao Fang's house, I saw that the open space was completely compacted.

The slope protection wall, which was not completed on New Year's Day, has also been completed.

The official groundbreaking was scheduled for a year later.

As Fang Nian expected, building a house in the countryside is indeed a relatively delayed matter.

Fang Nian walked into the house from the porch and happened to meet Lin Feng.

Lin Feng sighed: "Come back so quickly, the dish hasn't been cooked yet." ”

"Fang Zhengguo, it's time to cook!"

As he spoke, he walked to the kitchen.

Hearing the sound, Fang Xin hurriedly ran out: "Brother ~ Brother ~~"

Wearing a bright red down jacket, even the black face is a little whiter.

"Hurry up, my mother bought a lot of candy for the New Year, I'll take it to you to get ......"

Fang Nian hurriedly grabbed Fang Xin's down jacket and said, "I don't eat it." ”

Fang Xin's eyes rolled around, and he smacked his lips in a similar way: "Tsk~ Then forget it." ”

"I'll go and see it after dinner. Fang Nian said.

Originally, Fang Nian wanted to take out the candy he brought back from Shencheng from his backpack, but seeing Fang Xin like this, he didn't mention this matter first.

In short, everyone seems to prefer sugar to food when they are children.

What Fang Xin said just now was fake, she was hungry and wanted to eat, so she pulled Fang Nian as a shield by the way.

When I ate the sugar, I didn't want to eat.

was recognized by Fang Nian, and Fang Xin specially pretended to be a pity.

Even Fang Nian was wondering in his heart at this time, is it that after 2000, Meng Po soup is a bit fake and shoddy?

Otherwise, why are the children nowadays all careful and thoughtful.

Home-cooked food does not take time, and after Fang Nian asked Fang Xin about the results of the final exam, the dishes were all ready.

Fang Xin is still the same, his grades are average, and he is more than enough than the top.

When the meal was served, Fang Nian was finally given a long-lost warmth by the stove in the house.

In the south, it is still necessary to bake the fire in winter.

Lin Feng asked twice.

"How many points did you score in the final exam?"

“610。 ”

"Why is it still regressing. ”

"Hmm. ”

“......”

Fang Nian's family had just finished eating, and they hadn't even cleaned up the leftovers on the dinner table.

The door on the side of the living room was opened from the outside.

"I haven't finished eating yet......"

The man who walked in snorted.

"Is Habao on holiday?"

Fang Zhengguo got up with a smile, took out a cigarette case and scattered cigarettes: "Sit, after eating, Fang Xin will help your mother clean up together." ”

Fang Nian also got up and shouted uncle and aunt with a smile.

It was Fang Zhengliang's family who walked in, that is, Fang Nian's own uncle and aunt and Fang Nian's cousin.

"Oh yo! Brother Nian, you have grown so tall all of a sudden!"

Fang Fenfen, who came in last, had just finished playing with her mobile phone, looked up, and said in surprise.

Fang Nian pursed his lips and smiled: "Fen Fen, I haven't come back for more than half a year, and I am willing to come back for the New Year?"

Fang Fenfen is Fang Zhengliang's eldest daughter, one year younger than Fang Nian, when she heard Fang Nian say this, she laughed and excused: "I want to study." ”

Although Fang Fenfen was only one year younger than Fang Nian, she went to school two years later.

After graduating from junior high school in 08, I didn't know which tendon was wrong, so I went to Tongfeng for a summer job, and then I didn't go to high school, and went to secondary school directly in Tongfeng.

Maybe it's because compared to the remoteness of Maoba and the poverty of Tangli, Tongfeng can be regarded as a city.

In the past six months, Fang Nian has not encountered it once.

It's like Fang Zhengliang, although he works in a neighboring county and occasionally goes home, he hasn't met Fang Nian once.

It also has something to do with the fact that Fang Nian only takes two days off every month.

Fang Fenfen was followed by a silent little boy named Fang Hai, more than a year older than Fang Xin, who had been quiet and introverted since he was a child, and he didn't shout.

Fang Nian shouted Xiaohai, but Fang Hai didn't respond.

Fang Zhengliang deliberately said a few words with a cold face, but it was useless.

As they were talking, the aunt and uncle who lived on the north side pushed open the door on the other side of the hall and walked in.

Fang Nian helped to make tea while calling out to his uncle and aunt.

Fang Xin shouted along.

"Oh, Nian Habao is tall and mighty this year. ”

Fang Zhengbin saw Fang Nian and sighed.

Fang Zhengguo hurriedly greeted with a smile and dispersed smoke.

Fang Zhengbin is Fang Nian's uncle, he was not at home from the beginning to the end of the year, and his aunt was the same.

He is also a son and a daughter, much older than Fang Nian, and it seems that he will not go home for the New Year this year.

Fang Nian and his cousin didn't have much contact with each other.

For example, Fang Fenfen, who is younger than him, although both of them have mobile phones, they don't know each other's phone numbers, let alone add QQ or anything.

Fang Hai didn't say it, he was in a different grade in the same school as Fang Xin, and Fang Nian occasionally went home and ran into him, but he couldn't shout.

As for the cousins and cousins of the uncle's family, the age difference is a bit big, and they have all worked in various places for three or five years, and they basically can't see each other, let alone have any connections.

This phenomenon was only improved in the previous life after graduating from high school in Fang Nian and directly entering the society for three or four years.

The cousins gradually became connected.

As Fang Nian gradually struggled to become famous, the more contacts he made......

...... In previous years, the three families gathered at Fang Zhengbin's house, and Fang Nian planned to go to his uncle's house after dinner, but he didn't expect them to come first.

Even between brothers, there are all kinds of thoughts.

Regardless of anything else, the two slope protection walls on the south side of Lao Fang's house and the 300-square-meter foundation and the miscellaneous house explain a lot of problems.

Now it makes sense.

Fang Nian didn't know what others thought, he was more or less complacent in his heart.

There were just ten people sitting around the fire, talking.

Fang Nian and Fang Fenfen rarely interjected.

Unconsciously, I talked about Fang Nian's juniors.

Fang Zhengbin, as the biggest one in the old Fang family, knocked on the melon seeds.

"Third child, how is your family studying in Habao, and it looks okay to listen to Lin Feng?"

Fang Zhengbin has always called Fang Zhengguo the third child.

It's been a habit for forty or fifty years.

"It's ok. Fang Zhengguo said with a smile.

"It's okay to recapitalize. ”

Fang Zhengliang took over the conversation: "How many points can I score in the senior high school exam now?"

"More than six hundred. ”

Lin Feng said unhappily and took a sip of tea.

Compared with the flamboyance when she knew that Fang Nian's grades were getting better at the beginning, Ms. Lin Feng is obviously much more restrained now.

"This is the seedling of Peking University Tsinghua University!"

Fang Zhengbin shouted.

"Our old Fang family hasn't had a college student for a long time, and there is finally hope for Fang Nian. ”

Lin Feng hurriedly humbled himself: "Peking University Tsinghua is still far away." ”

Nian Habao said that he didn't like to go to the capital and didn't plan to apply for Peking University Tsinghua University. ”

Fang Zhengliang raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Then you have to talk about Fang Nian, Peking University and Tsinghua University are the best universities in China, and you can't be afraid of a long way or something." ”

"That's it, why don't you go if you can get in, it's glorious to say it......," Fang Zhengbin also said.

“......”

Lin Feng explained: "Fang Nian wants to go to Fudan in Shencheng. ”

"Fudan is similar to Peking University Tsinghua University, so he went. ”

“......”

Compared with the capital, Fang Nian is indeed more inclined to Shencheng.

If it weren't for Lu Weiyu going to Yangcheng later, Fang Nian might have chosen Sun Yat-sen University in Yangcheng.

If you don't go to Sun Yat-sen University, you will choose Chinese language and literature.

In his previous life, Fang Nian spent half a year in the capital, but he never liked it.

Nor is he a man who finds fault for himself......

...... After chatting about the study, the conversation turned to the house.

Founder suddenly engaged in big construction in the country, as Fang Zhengguo's brothers, Fang Zhengliang and Fang Zhengbin are also very concerned.

"Third child, I haven't seen the drawings of your new house. ”

Fang Zhengbin said with a smile.

Fang Zhengguo hurriedly got up to get the drawings, and after taking them, he said with great interest while unfolding them: "This drawing was designed by Nian Habao, and it is said that it is a Chinese-style house, and it is the same as before, and the roof tile should be capped." ”

“......”

Fang Zhengbin and Fang Zhengliang also pointed while watching.

"Oh, no wonder I heard that you were going to do a big construction outside, and this cover is really majestic. ”

"This house looks so good, my house was built early. ”

“......”

Three big men, you and I said one by one.

Speaking of happiness, Fang Zhengguo hurriedly dispersed his cigarettes.

Compared to the previous searches, it was a sea change.

Fang Nian, who didn't squeak much, was very satisfied with this.

"It's building walls again, building miscellaneous houses, and building such a big house, I heard that this money is earned every year?"

Fang Zhengbin asked curiously.

"What the hell is he doing to earn it? ”

Fang Zhengguo replied with a smile: "I said that I was writing a book, but I can't tell you the specifics." ”

“......”

"Oooh!"

Fang Zhengliang shouted: "I'll take a look." ”

“......”

Fang Zhengguo went to pick up the books that Fang Nian took home: "Oh, that's it." ”

"He himself said that he wrote it on the Internet, and now these young people's things are completely incomprehensible. ”

Fang Fenfen interjected: "Online?"

"Brother Nian, did you write it?"

Fang Nian smiled and nodded, and didn't say a word of heart-piercing words that said something about playing.

He's too much of someone else's kid now.

If this continues, maybe Fang Zhengliang will have to teach Fang Fenfen a lesson as soon as he goes home.

"The price is 29 yuan 8, oh yo, how much does this cost!" Fang Zhengbin said.

Lin Feng interjected: "It is said that the manuscript fee is hundreds of thousands." ”

"That's really enough money to afford a house, and this old house is more than ten years old, so it should be started. Fang Zhengbin said with a smile.

There is a little loneliness between the eyebrows and eyes.

The older you get, the simpler your mind becomes, and you want your children to develop well.

But they all grew up in the countryside, and there are many unsatisfactory days.

............

............

This afternoon, not only Fang Zhengbin and Fang Zhengliang's family came to Fang Nian's house to sit, but other neighbors also came to sit.

The focus of the topic has always been around Fang Nian, who didn't speak much.

The protagonists are Fang Zhengguo and Lin Feng.

They are either humble, proud, or contented with their neighbors.

Although Maoba is not big, basically every household has a reading baby.

It's just that there is no one at the same level as Fang Nian.

But without exception, knowing Fang Nian's achievements from Lin Feng's understated tone, he saw the awards posted on the wall, and a few red-shell books.

Everyone's first layer of red eyes popped up.

He said something against his will.

Say: "Your old Fang family is about to be a college student!"

"Either you don't come out, or you want to come out, it's a key university!"

"It's not like our stuff, we don't know how to read books, and we only talk about asking for money every day. ”

"Unbelievable, unbelievable!"

“......”

The second floor is unavoidable, and it will be said that the house will be built next year.

That's good.

The neighborhood is more sour.

I listened to it here and there, and the news was not accurate enough.

Now flipping through the cover exquisitely, listening to Lin Feng spitting out a few keywords with a smile.

Wow.

I can't wait to turn into lemon essence at that time.

"Four or five hundred thousand! My God, how did you earn this money, I have never seen so much money in my life!"

"Earn more money than those who give false testimony!"

"It's amazing, the third brother really gave birth to a good cub!"

"Big Breath, Big Breath!"

"Maoba is going to be a big talent!"

“......”

Fang Zhengguo opened packs and packs of Hibiscus King this afternoon, scattering round after round of cigarettes.

There is always a smile on his face.

Ms. Lin Feng enjoys the scenery of belonging to a mother.

Enjoying these neighbors, including the redness, envy, and jealousy in the complicated eyes of Fang Nian's brothers who looked at Fang Nian in words could not be described.

Every neighbor who walked into Fang Nian's house came with a smile and left with a smile.

The difference in laughter is really only clear in each word.

As for the peers in the neighborhood, those expressions are really hard to describe.

Except for people like Fang Hai who are still young, the others who are a little older all know what they will face tonight-

Endless contrasts, and endless nagging.

Fang Nian mourned for them for a few seconds in his heart.

He didn't want to.

But I'm so good, so I can't help it.

Becoming someone else's child, Fang Nian was not surprised at all, and was even a little complacent.

More than once I thought of a sentence -

"The source of happiness is really the comparison!"

Look, how happy, comfortable, and beautiful is the smile on Ms. Lin Feng's face?

Look, usually Fang Zhengguo is reluctant to smoke the Furong King to scatter out one pack after another, and his face is full of indifference.

Isn't this what life should look like?

Most of the time, that's what hard work is all about.

............

............

In the evening, the Fang family finally cleaned up, and Fang Zhengguo swept the ground while humming a minor tune, enjoying himself.

Ms. Lin Feng officially cares about her baby son.

"It's about to be the New Year, Fang Nian, have you bought new clothes?"

Fang Nian: "......"

"I didn't buy a new one, but I took the time to buy a suit and wear it for the New Year. ”

As he spoke, Fang Nian remembered the clothes folded in his bag, got up and said, "I forgot to put it in my bag, I'll take it out and hang it up." ”

By the way, he also took out the new candy that he brought to Fang Xin from Shencheng.

There are not many types, which are divided into two categories, imported and domestic.

It is estimated that at this time, it will not be found in Tongfeng's supermarket.

"Wow!"

"Oooh!"

"Brother~Brother~~ Where did you bring this back, this candy looks delicious. ”

When Fang Xin saw it, he jumped up as he spoke.

Fang Nian said casually: "I bought it on the street." ”

Ms. Lin Feng sensed that something was wrong, and frowned and said, "There is no such candy sold on Tangli Street, I just went to buy New Year's goods with your father." ”

"Ah, then I don't know. ”

Fang Nian didn't panic at all, and said very calmly.

Anyway, he definitely didn't say that he went to Shencheng to bring it back, otherwise Ms. Lin Feng, who had been happy all afternoon, would tell Fang Nian how good his physical strength was.

Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't delve into it, but talked about the things on the side, and asked if Fang Nian had any money to spend.

Jokingly: The money on the bank card is spending more and more, and now there are just 600,000 zeros.

After Fang Nian gave the card to Lin Feng for 100,000 yuan, a total of 4 manuscript fees were credited;

The total is actually more than 700,000, but in October, Fang Yuan turned around 100,000.

Therefore, before the house was officially started, hundreds of thousands of yuan had been spent on miscellaneous things such as two slope protection walls and miscellaneous houses.

It also includes the 50,000 cash that Fang Nian specially took out before, and the remaining 30,000 or 40,000 after Tongfeng bought major appliances.

However, Lin Feng said: Tens of thousands of them were taken to the brick kiln to book red bricks that were probably enough to build a house.

Because the whole will adopt a frame concrete brick structure, there are not many red bricks needed, and the market price is not high, and tens of thousands of bricks are enough.

On the whole, the construction cost without decoration will be 1780,000 yuan.

However, Lin Feng estimated that the actual cost of building materials would not be used so much.

Fang Nian knows what the reason is, affected by last year's financial crisis, steel, cement and other building materials have been falling......

When it came to money, Fang Nian naturally shook his head quickly: "Yes, I don't spend much money at school. ”

This is a big truth.

Outside of school, though, that's not good.

For example, Ms. Lin Feng said approvingly: Fang Nian has a vision, and the suit with good clothing material cost more than 10,000 yuan.

But Fang Nian was not wrong, after all, it doesn't sell this clothes in school......

In the end, Lin Feng mentioned: "It's the New Year soon, your aunt and your brother Nan are back, let's go over tomorrow." ”

It stands to reason that it will be the first month of the year to leave relatives, and there is no need to rush over tomorrow.

But the relationship between the two families is closer after all, and after the aunt and uncle come back in previous years, they will also go on a trip before the year.

Fang Nian didn't have any opinions.
