"Come back quickly, I can't handle it alone —"
The tree trunk was too tall, the bark was too slippery, and it was covered with a thin layer of ice. If he wasn't careful, he might slip and fall to the ground.
Zhou Numerology relied on Fang Yan's help to climb up. Now that Fang Yan said that he had to go back to practice again, it was possible that he could only come back next spring to perform the act of splitting bricks in the air. If he lay here and waited until next spring, before the tree sprouted, it would probably sprout on his head.
Of course, he also knew that it was going to be New Year's Eve dinner soon. If his family couldn't see him, they would definitely come out to look for him. His life wouldn't be in any danger.
However, the wind and snow were strong in the forest beside Stone River. Not to mention one or two hours, even ten or twenty minutes would be a torture.
He really hated Fang Yan to the core. Why hadn't he been beaten to death by his parents when he was young, this naughty kid who specialized in destroying things and scheming against others?
"Fang Yan — come back — help, someone help me —"
Zhou Mingli screamed himself hoarse, but no one could hear his helpless pleas.
In the depths of the forest, a pair of gray eyes stared at him without blinking. The black robe was wrapped tightly around his body. Even the arrogant cold wind couldn't remove it from his body.
He held a thin blade in his hand. As long as he gently tossed it out, the screaming child would most likely die.
After a long time, he finally made his final decision.
He turned around and sprinted towards the top of the small green mountain.
Gone in a flash!
When Zhou Mingli came back, his face was swollen, his nose was covered in tears and mucus, and he couldn't stop coughing. His hair, which was originally made with hair clay, was blown into a chicken's nest shape. The four sides were swollen, and the middle was bald. It could be the new trend of Swallow Fort.
Zhou Mingli couldn't hold it in anymore when he saw Fang Yijing. He cried out, "Where's Fang Yan? Where's Fang Yan? That bastard — he purposely tricked me. He tricked me to the tree and ran away. I couldn't get down alone — I almost fell to my death. "
Fang Yijing knew that Fang Yan would punish her son. It was not Fang Yan's style to do nothing. But when he saw Zhou Mingli's miserable state, he felt a little distressed. He quickly pulled Zhou Mingli into the room and said, "Why are you shouting? Quickly go back and change your clothes. My god, my clothes are about to turn into popsicles. "
"It's Fang Yan. This bastard son of a bitch, I'm going to fight him to the death — he dared to bully me, I'm not going to let him off easy — "
Pa!
Zhou Fan slapped his son on the head.
"Shut up!" Zhou Fan snapped. "Who told you to talk to your cousin like this? You have no respect for your elders — is this what we taught you? "
His father's anger was still a deterrent. Seeing that Zhou Fan was angry, Zhou Mingli didn't dare to make a scene again. He wiped his tears and said, "So we'll just let it go? I was bullied by him for nothing? Why should he — "
"Because he is your elder brother," Zhou Fan said with a tough attitude. "If you talk to your elder brother like this again, I'll teach you a lesson even if he doesn't do anything —"
"You —" Zhou Mingli wanted to rush up and fight with his father. He felt that everyone was bullying him. Even his father had betrayed him and joined the enemy's side.
"As his mother, you need to discipline him," Zhou Fan said to Fang Yijing.
Hearing the commotion, everyone in the Fang family turned their gazes over. Lu Wan came out and advised: "Talk to the child, don't touch him —"
Fang Mengying giggled and said, "Big brother Fang Yan has been beaten a lot."
"You little girl." Lu Wan was amused by Fang Mengying's words. She grabbed the two braids on her head and said, "If you dare to talk to adults again, I'll sew your mouth shut with a needle."
Fang Mengying quickly covered her mouth with her hand, worried that her aunt would really sew her mouth shut with a needle. If that happened, she wouldn't be able to eat delicious food.
"Only a stick can make a filial son. Children should be strictly disciplined. If they are like this now, what will happen in the future? "Zhou Fan said.
While everyone was comforting Zhou Mingli, Zhou Fan left the room and went to the kitchen.
It was Lunar New Year's Eve. The two old maids of the Fang family were busy preparing dinner for the family.
Seeing Zhou Fan come in, the old maid who was washing the vegetables asked with a smile: "Young master, why are you in the kitchen?"
"I'm here to find something to eat," Zhou Fan said with a smile. "I ate quite a lot in the afternoon. I didn't expect to be hungry at this hour."
"It's easy to boil oil in a cold place," the old maid said. "There's fried rice balls and braised pig's face meat — should I make a bowl of rice balls and cut a plate of pig's face meat for you to fill your stomach?"
"Sure," Zhou Fan said with a smile. "Cut a plate of pig's face meat."
The old maid wiped her hands on her apron, then took a pig's ear from the pot and cut it into strips.
Zhou Fan stood next to the old maid and pretended to watch her cut the meat. But when the old maid's body blocked the other old maid's view, he quickly unscrewed the white bottle of potion in his hand and poured it into the soup pot.
There was only one drop of the potion, and it didn't even make a splash when it was poured into the soup pot.
The old maid looked at Zhou Fan looking at the soup pot and said with a smile: "This is mountain mushroom pheasant soup. The mushrooms are picked from the mountains, and the pheasant is hunted from the mountains — you city people can't eat it."
"Yes. People in the city eat expensive and nutritious food, "Zhou Fan said with a smile. "There's also gutter oil."
"Drink a bowl later to replenish your vitality," the old maid said. She deftly put the pig's ear on a plate, then handed a pair of chopsticks to Zhou Fan and said: "Young master, eat this first."
"Thank you," Zhou Fan took the plate and said gratefully.
When Fang Yan came back from outside, Zhou Mingli was already sitting on the living room sofa playing games.
When he saw Fang Yan come in, his eyes almost shot out thousands of sharp little swords to stab Fang Yan into pieces.
Fang Yan sat next to Zhou Mingli and asked with concern: "Cousin, you're back? Did you catch a cold? "
"Fang Yan —"
"Don't be mean to me, I'll be even more mean if you're mean to me." Fang Yan interrupted him and said with a low voice: "You've seen it, I can break a brick with my bare hands — if I cut your spine with a knife, do you think you can still stand up?"
"Don't you dare."
"Do you want to try?" Fang Yan said with a smile. "I have inner force. If I hit you, you won't feel it on the spot, but after a month, the side effects will slowly show — "
Zhou Mingli felt a chill on his back. He jumped down from the sofa, put on his shoes, and ran to his room.
He was really scared of Fang Yan.
Fang Yan smiled silently. This pair of father and son was really worrisome.
After the Fang family worshiped their ancestors, they poured three glasses of wine in the direction of the stone tablet at the entrance of Swallow Dock village. Fang Yan personally went to the backyard to bring a few dishes to the old drunkard, and drank two glasses with him. The Fang family's New Year's Eve dinner also officially began.
Fang Huwei sat at the head of the table, Fang Yixing sat below, and then Fang Hao, Zhao Chengxin, Zhou Fan, Fang Yan, Zhou Mingli, and several other juniors of the Fang family sat below. Lu Wan and the other women sat on the other side of Fang Huwei according to seniority.
Fang Huwei looked at his descendants sitting on both sides of the table, he seemed to be in a particularly happy mood, and said with a smile: "New Year's Eve is the night of reunion, how can it be called a night of reunion when all the family members are not here? This year, Yixing and Zhou Fan are back, and so is Zhou Mingli — this year's reunion dinner is even more reunion than in previous years. But, this is not enough. "
Everyone looked at Fang Huwei with confusion.
Obviously all the family members were here, why did the old man say it was not enough? Could it be that someone who was supposed to be here didn't come back?
Fang Huwei looked at Fang Yan with bright eyes, and jokingly said: "If Fang Yan can bring back that girl from the Ye family, then our dinner will be truly perfect."
Everyone laughed.
Fang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Grandpa, please don't make fun of us."
"Who said I'm joking with you? Next year, we must win that girl from the Ye family, and bring her back to our Fang family for a reunion dinner during Chinese New Year. This is a mission — we must make sure it is completed. "Fang Huwei said with a serious expression.
Fang Yan didn't want to spoil his grandpa's mood, so he half-heartedly said: "I'll try my best — — but you also know, this kind of thing requires fate."
"Fate my ass. Back then, I fell in love with your grandmother, and so did many other people — — they wrote love poems and gave her gifts, so I directly went up to her and told her to come with me. Then she left with me. "Fang Huwei said with a proud expression.
Fang Yan's face was full of shock, saying: "It's that simple?"
He didn't quite believe it. He always felt that picking up girls was something that required a lot of experience. How could it be so easy to succeed?
"It's that simple." Fang Huwei solemnly nodded. "Of course, that's only if I beat all of her suitors away in front of her."
"— —"
Everyone laughed again.
Even Zhou Mingli, who always kept a straight face and didn't want to talk to anyone, couldn't help but laugh. It seems like Fang Huwei's story was very much to the taste of these young people.
After Fang Huwei finished his speech, everyone's eyes turned to Fang Yixing. According to the rules, he would also say a few words.
Fang Yixing raised the glass in front of him and smiled: "I won't say much, I just wish everyone good health and a better life. Come, let's have a toast. "
Cheers!
Everyone's glasses clanked together, making a clear sound.
Then, everyone raised their necks and drank all the liquor in their glasses.
Even Fang Mengxiang learned from the adults and drank all the yogurt in his glass in one gulp.
The first thing to eat was the soup. The old maid brought up the bowls of soup. Everyone had a bowl in front of them.
Fang Huwei took the bowl, blew on it, and was about to drink the soup with a spoon, when Zhou Fan suddenly called out: "Wait a minute."
