The twenty-ninth of the twelfth month, also known as' Little New Year's Eve '… Every family held a banquet, people came and went to visit other people. And burning incense outdoors was called 'Heavenly Incense'. It usually took three days.
When Fang Yan sat in the living room chatting with his mother and aunt, Ye Fengsheng came to find Fang Yan, saying that his third uncle was back and asked him to go to his house for lunch.
Fang Yan glanced at his mother, Lu Wan. Lu Wan smiled and said, "Fengsheng came to invite you, just go. Anyway, your aunt won't be leaving for a while. We'll talk when you come back tonight. "
Fang Yan nodded and said, "I'll be there soon."
Ye Fengsheng saw that Fang Yan had a guest, so he didn't stay any longer and said, "I'll wait for you at home. Go there early, third uncle said he wants you to help pour wine at noon. "
"There's a guest at home?"
"Third uncle's guest." Ye Fengsheng said.
Ye Daoling used to be in charge of the research of Hua Xia's economic system, so he naturally had to be surrounded by many big shots in the financial system. Now that he was promoted and held an important position, there would naturally be more people crowding around him.
Tomorrow was New Year's Eve. No matter how busy Ye Daoling was, he would come back to have a reunion dinner with the Ye family's ancestor. It was reasonable that his subordinates received the news and came to visit Ye Daoling in advance.
However, why did he ask him, a junior of the Fang family, to go there? If it was just pouring wine … Ye Fengsheng could do it well. Although his image was worse than him, he was still a descendant of the Ye family, wasn't he?
Ye Fengsheng left, but Zhou Fan came back.
He looked serious and seemed to have something on his mind.
He made an excuse to ask his wife to help find a tie and pulled Fang Yijing to the room. He closed the door and whispered, "Is there a Ye family in Swallow Dock?"
"There is a Ye family." Fang Yijing looked at her husband in confusion and said, "Why do you ask?"
Zhou Fan was excited. He grabbed his wife's hand and asked, "How is the relationship between your two families? Do you have any contact? Aren't people from the countryside all related to each other … Are you relatives? "
"No." Fang Yijing shook her head. "The relationship between the Fang and Ye families has never been good, and they're even hostile towards each other … Zhou Fan, what are you trying to say? How did the Ye family provoke you? "
Fang Yijing was telling the truth. In the past, the relationship between the Ye family and the Fang family was not harmonious. Every year, when Fang Yan and Ye Rou competed, the Ye family and the Fang family always regarded each other as their biggest rivals and often criticized each other.
Now that her husband asked about the relationship between the two families, she could only tell him what she knew before. She didn't know that Fang Yan had taken the little princess of the Ye Family, Ye Rou, for a walk by the Shihezi River.
Zhou Fan could not vent his anger, so he said in a muffled voice, "Your Fang family will be killed by your own stupidity."
For such a high-level leader to pay a visit to the Ye Family, it proved that the Ye Family must have an extraordinary existence. They both resided in Swallow Dock, yet the Fang Family actually had a conflict with the Ye Family … Wasn't this just seeking death?
His wish to use the Fang Clan's connections to build a relationship with the Ye Clan had been dashed, so he was naturally in a bad mood.
"Zhou Fan, how can you say that?" Fang Yijing was angry and yelled.
Zhou Fan loved his wife very much. Seeing that Fang Yijing was mad, he did not want to argue with her anymore. He snorted and said, "We will be dragged down by your family sooner or later."
"Who will drag you down? If you don't want us to drag you down, go home. I know you don't want to come here, and I know you look down on us. If so, don't come here anymore … "Fang Yijing was also irritated by her husband's arrogant attitude. She pointed at the door and yelled.
"Let's go. Who do you think wants to come here?" Zhou Fan could not suppress his anger anymore and yelled.
Hearing the argument in the room, Lu Wan, Fang Yixin, Fang Yiling, and the others who were chatting outside all came in.
Lu Wan was the mistress of the family. She asked, "Yijing, Zhou Fan, what happened? Why are you arguing? "
Fang Yijing did not want to say bad things about her husband in front of her sister-in-law. It would only embarrass her even more.
Zhou Fan hated the Fang family, so he did not want to answer Lu Wan's question either.
"It's the Spring Festival. What can't we talk about?" Fang Yixin was the eldest sister. She walked over and held her younger sister's hand. She said, "If each of you give way, the conflict will be solved. You finally come back for the Spring Festival. Why are you quarreling? We are a family after all. Don't be a joke to outsiders, right? "
Fang Yijing felt bitter, but she could not say anything.
Zhou Fan felt very upset, so he went to the yard to smoke.
Fang Yan stood next to the plum tree in the yard and heard the argument between Fang Yixin and Zhou Fan clearly.
Seeing Zhou Fan coming out, Fang Yan said with a smile, "Uncle, do you really want the Fang family and the Ye family to be on good terms?"
Zhou Fan's face froze. He lit the cigarette in his hand and took a puff. He said with a straight face, "Isn't it reasonable for neighbors to be on good terms?"
"It is." Fang Yan nodded and said. "So, through my efforts, the Fang family and the Ye family are now as close as a family."
"Really?" Zhou Fan was overjoyed. If what Fang Yan said was true, then wouldn't it be reasonable for him to visit the Ye family? If he could have a chance to have a meal with that leader, no, just a casual chat to let him have a deeper understanding of himself, then it would also have a profound promotion and push for his future, wouldn't it?
Seeing Zhou Fan's happy expression, Fang Yan reached out and touched the thick and cold branches of the plum tree. He said, "What's that saying again? A close neighbor is better than a distant relative. I didn't have a clear understanding of this saying before … A distant relative is still a relative. How can a neighbor be better than a relative? Now, I realized that what he said made sense. Some relatives really don't treat their own family members as human beings. "
Zhou Fan's eyes were slightly cold, but he forcibly suppressed the hostility in his heart. He said with a smile, "I chatted with your aunt for a bit. Don't take it to heart. Who hasn't quarreled in a family? Relatives are relatives after all. If I didn't treat you as relatives, would I have taken the initiative to suggest finding a job for you last night? Do you know how many people come to me for help with their work problems every day? "
"Yes. That's why I have to thank you for your kindness, uncle. "Fang Yan nodded and said. "But I have to be honest. After a night of careful consideration, I still decided to go to Huacheng to be a teacher. Because this is a job I like, and also … a job that can give me more insight into life. "
After becoming a teacher, Fang Yan understood the importance of responsibility. After becoming a teacher, Fang Yan understood the importance of morality and rules. It was only after Fang Yan became a teacher that he realized the preciousness of writing gall.
Civil officials were not greedy for money, and military generals did not hesitate to die. They would definitely be able to win the respect of all the countries in the world.
Even a mere scholar, as long as he had a writing gall to protect himself, he would be able to break through the dragon's pool and tiger's den.
It was also during his time as a teacher in Huacheng that Fang Yan glimpsed the spirit of writing gall from his grandfather, Lu Gong. That was why his Tai Chi Heart, which had been silent for a long time, trembled and began to spin again.
He disregarded life and death and took the risk to accept the challenge from the Thousand Leaves Army, which led to another breakthrough in his Tai Chi Heart. Wasn't it because his heart was cleansed and his soul was sublimated?
According to Fang Yan's personality in the past, he would definitely turn around and run when he met a top expert like the Thousand Leaves Army. Then, he would crawl into the Ye Family and never come out again.
Fang Yan was grateful for his trip to Huacheng, for Rosefinch High, and for everyone he met on this trip.
Of course, Jiang Junling was an exception.
It was because of them that his life was so exciting and fulfilling.
The Fang family also understood the significance of Rosefinch High to Fang Yan, so no one asked Fang Yan to leave. Even Fang Huwei felt that his grandson had gained a lot from this trip. If he could break through the realm again, it would be a great thing for the Fang family.
This was also the reason why everyone had a strange expression when Zhou Fan proposed to help Fang Yan find a job last night. Zhou Fan was like a poor millionaire. No matter how hard he tried to show off his wealth, the millionaires in the audience wouldn't give him warm applause.
For the men of Swallow Dock, improving their martial arts was the most important thing.
"Since this is your choice, I will express my understanding and respect …" Zhou Fan said with a smile. He didn't care where Fang Yan was going to work or if he had a job. "You said that the Fang family and the Ye family are as close as a family? But just now your aunt said … the two families didn't get along very well? "
"Ye Daoling, does uncle know this person?" Fang Yan asked with a smile.
Zhou Fan's pupils shrank and his breathing became rapid. Ye Daoling, if he was still unfamiliar with him before, then with his latest transfer order being released through various media, it had attracted the attention of the entire country. It was an extremely rare opportunity to get in touch with a leader like Ye Daoling.
He tried hard to control his excitement and said, "Ye Daoling … is also from Swallow Dock?"
"Yes." Fang Yan nodded with a smile. "Just now, his nephew came to me and said that Third Uncle Ye asked me to go to their house for lunch … It is said that some guests came to their house and I have to go pour some wine. Why should I go pour wine for them? I really don't want to go. "
Zhou Fan opened his mouth. After a long time, he said softly, "How about … I go with you. I have accumulated some experience in pouring wine."
"That won't do." Fang Yan refused. "They didn't invite you. I don't want to invite you either. If I rashly bring you in and make the master unhappy … What about our Fang family? "
