Because Fang Hanmin and his old father had an unpleasant dispute over details, the atmosphere at the table was rather solemn during dinner. When it was about to end, Fang Xiecheng couldn't help but asked: "You brought your girlfriend home today, I guess Xiaofeng You will know the news soon, and you will return to your work tomorrow morning. If someone comes to ask, how will we reply to her? "
Fang Hanmin put down his chopsticks and told his parents solemnly, "As you can see, I went home in a hurry this time, mainly to do two things. First, you said in your letter last time that Xiaofeng is here for the Spring Festival. There was trouble at home, which caused great embarrassment to my parents and family. I did not handle the matter well. I apologize to you here. Secondly, I brought Song Yuping home and deliberately let the villagers see it, just to let them send a message to Xiaofeng. Let her give up completely."
"With Xiaofeng's temper, I'm afraid she won't give up!" Xu Lihua seemed to be frightened.
"Your mother is right. If people continue to pester and come to the house to make trouble, how will we reply to them?"
Before Fang Hanmin could speak, the youngest sister Fang Wenxiu blurted out: "My brother has clearly rejected her, what can I say in reply? If she comes back to cause trouble again, I will kick her out!" The little girl really dared to speak.
"Adults are talking about business, children, don't interrupt!" Fang Xiecheng scolded.
"Humph, I will be in the third grade of junior high school next semester, so I am not a child. I am afraid that she will make trouble. I think you are just cowardly! My brother has already brought his girlfriend home. If she comes to ask this and that again, you will be too shameless. how thick!"
"You..., you are not polite, how can you talk to adults?" This youngest daughter has been pampered since she was a child, and Lao Fang is reluctant to beat or scold her.
"That's right. If she dares to come here again, I will blast her out!"
"Wenxiu, you are still a student, you don't need to worry about these things." For the first time, Fang Hanmin felt that this little sister was very funny.
"Wenxiu, is it because your brother's girlfriend is your teacher that you particularly like her?"
"Mom, Yuping is not a teacher in Wenxiu's class. She only taught a few classes for Wenxiu's class in the second semester last year. Speaking of it a few days ago, she remembered that there was a girl named Fang Wenxiu in that class, and she realized that it was me. Sister." Fang Hanmin explained.
"Yes, the Chinese teacher of our class had family matters at that time, and Teacher Song took over a few classes for us, but I really didn't expect that she would be my brother's girlfriend!" the little girl said with joy.
The atmosphere at the table was much more lively than before. Xu Lihua asked curiously: "Hanmin, you work in the city, and this teacher Song teaches in a rural middle school. Were you introduced by others? Or do you know each other yourself?"
"We have been alumni from junior high school to high school, but she is one grade below me. We have known each other since we were in junior high school. However, our official relationship with her started after May Day last year, and it has been a year now. More." Fang Hanmin introduced to everyone how he and Song Yuping met at a roadside station.
Xu Lihua was entranced. "As the saying goes, you come thousands of miles away to meet her. You and she haven't seen each other for so many years, but she recognizes you at a glance. This is fate! Hanmin, it seems that you and this girl are really destined!" "
Fang Hanmin then introduced Song Yuping's family situation, "The two of us have been dating for more than a year, and now we talk about almost everything. I told her about our family situation without reservation, and she doesn't value family conditions. .”
"Yeah, even though she is a middle school teacher, she is not picky at all when she comes to our house and is very easy-going. Hanmin, I don't quite understand. You are a high school student and I am a college graduate. Your academic qualifications are not as high as hers. She doesn't Do you dislike you?" A mother is afraid that her son will suffer.
"Does she dislike me? Let me tell you, I was her admirer in junior high school and high school. She also knew the reason why I failed the college entrance examination. Why do you think she dislikes me? Besides, she knew about me from the newspaper In the workplace, my work performance is no worse than those of college graduates. The two of us completely love each other sincerely, and there is no question of who dislikes the other."
Xu Lihua nodded happily, "Yes, no one covets the other's money or status. This is true love. However, you work in a unit in the city and she teaches in the town. What will happen if you get married?" Song Yuping's Things that parents and family members care about are also issues that Xu Lihua cares about.
"I will find a way to transfer her to the city."
"Well, that's pretty much it. If the two places are separated and they have children in the future, there will be a lot of trouble."
"Now that we have come to this point, I will consider the future."
"Hanmin, your life-long event really makes me and your dad worry less. We know that you and Song Yuping are both very busy, but you can't delay it too long!"
"Mom, do you want to have grandchildren sooner? But I have to tell you, no matter how early or late you get married, you have to wait until I transfer Song Yuping into the city before you can consider this matter."
Xu Lihua hesitated, "Actually, it's only a matter of time before you have grandchildren. I'm really not in a hurry. However, your brother is not young anymore. If you don't get married, what do you want him to do?"
Fang Hanmin suddenly realized, "That's what you mean! This is easy to handle. Does Xinmin have a girlfriend now? If he has a girlfriend, he can go ahead of us, we don't care."
The old father Fang Xiecheng couldn't help but said: "You have left this place and don't care about anything, but we still have to live here, and you have to consider our feelings!"
Of course, a time traveler in the 21st century cannot understand this traditional concept. Fang Hanmin asked puzzledly: "Everyone's situation is different, and the policy does not stipulate who comes first. If the conditions are ripe, new people will get married first, and we will get married later." Why don't you consider your feelings when you delay?"
Fang Hanmin's ideas are more advanced than those of contemporary urban youth, and they are even more incompatible with the traditional ideas of his family. He originally thought that bringing his girlfriend home would make the whole family happy, but he did not expect that he disagreed with his father on many things. The old father was unhappy, and he himself felt very unhappy.
The next morning, Fang Hanmin left home after breakfast, but he was not in a hurry to return to his work. Instead, he went to the county town to visit two friends, one was his old classmate Lu Hui, and the other was his old friend - ---Liu Gong from the County Water Conservancy Bureau.
Last year, when he helped his hometown build a new house, Fang Hanmin didn't have enough money. At that time, he borrowed a sum of money from Lu Hui. He paid back the money more than half a month ago without asking for a penny of interest. Fang Hanmin decided to ask his old man The classmates thanked each other in person.
Liu Gong of the Water Conservancy Bureau was Fang Hanmin's noble man. It was under his recommendation that Fang Hanmin went to work as a temporary worker in the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. It can be said that without Liu's enthusiastic introduction, there would be no Fang Hanmin today.
Arriving at the county town by car, Fang Hanmin quickly found Lu Hui's store in the wholesale market. Seeing his appearance, Lu Hui's eyes widened in surprise, "Fang Hanmin! Why are you here?"
"What, am I not welcome?"
"Welcome, welcome! You are a rare visitor, why aren't you welcome? Just a moment." Now that the business was not busy, Lu Hui's wife was taking her children to play outside the store. He walked to the door and shouted, "Suying, we have a guest. , come back to visit the store."
Soon, a woman came back with a three or four-year-old girl. Lu Hui introduced: "Hanmin, this is my daughter-in-law Zhou Suying. Suying, this is Fang Hanmin, my old classmate I mentioned to you many times. He is The most promising person in our class is now the section chief of a large company."
Fang Hanmin shook hands with the other party politely, "Hello Suying! Lu Hui is now the most promising person in our class, and he has become a big boss at a young age."
"Lu Hui talks about you a lot. Someone who can be admired by him must be very powerful."
"Lu Hui, help me brag, don't listen to him." Fang Hanmin touched the little girl's face again, "Kid, how old are you?"
"I'm three years old," the little girl raised her head, "I'm going to kindergarten next month."
"Ouch, it's time to go to kindergarten. Okay, okay!" Fang Hanmin took out a red envelope from his bag. He had already known that Lu Hui was a father. This was something he had prepared in advance. "Kid, take this. Uncle gave it to you."
"What is this?" the little girl asked timidly.
"Take it, uncle bought you toys."
"Hanmin, come on, why do you give this to your child?" Lu Hui felt a little regretful.
"My little kindness is for the child, so don't refuse it."
Lu Hui understood Fang Hanmin's mood, "Okay, let's go to the back and talk."
This store is very large, and Lu Hui has an office in the back. Although it is relatively messy, it has all the office supplies and appliances. In addition to the boss desk, boss chair, leather sofa and mahogany coffee table, there are also fax machines and program-controlled telephones. In terms of modernization, In terms of quality and interior furnishings, Fang Hanmin's office is far behind.
Sitting down facing each other on both sides of the coffee table, Fang Hanmin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Lv Hui, in addition to doing some errands when I come back this time, I also made a special trip to thank you in person."
"Hanmin, as far as our relationship is concerned, you are not allowed to say thank you again in the future."
"Oh, without your help, I don't know if the house in my hometown could have been built."
"Hey, let's not mention it again. Hanmin, you just said you would come back to do things. Is there something going on in your hometown?"
"It's okay back home. This time it's my personal matter. Let me tell you, I have a girlfriend."
Lu Hui was very surprised, "Really? Hanmin, this is a great thing, I have to congratulate you! Let me guess, is the woman our classmate Yu Dongmei?"
"Why did you think of her?"
"I think she had a crush on you in high school, and now that you two are in the same city, isn't this natural?"
"To tell you the truth, I did get along with her for a period of time, but later I found out that there was a big difference in personality, so we ended the relationship."
"Oh----, let me tell you, you two seemed to be a perfect match, but then you ended up? It's a pity! Oh, who is this girlfriend now?"
"He's also an alumnus of ours, but he's just one grade below us."
"Hanmin, it seems that you are very close to your classmates! Which class is she from in the next class?" Lu Hui said with a smile.
"Remember the class next to us? She is the study committee member of that class, named Song Yuping."
Lu Hui's academic performance was at the bottom of his class when he was studying. He simply didn't focus on his studies. However, he paid special attention to the beauties in every class in the school. "Just tell me what she looks like?"
"She should be one of the best in appearance in their class."
After searching in his memory, Lu Hui slapped his forehead and asked, "Is he taller, thinner, and has short hair? As for the study committee member, I didn't pay attention."
"I seem a little fatter now than then, and my hair is not so short."
"We are talking about the same person. She looked good at that time. If she were a little fatter and had longer hair, I think she would be more beautiful now than when she was a student. Although she and Yu Dongmei are both beautiful, they are not the same type. ." Lu Hui spent some time researching beautiful women back then.
"Lu Hui, back then you carefully observed all the pretty girls in the principal, right? Is there anyone you like?" Fang Hanmin teased.
"I like it more! But I can only have unrequited love. Think about it, who can look down on a scumbag like me?"
