"Junior sister, this is not bad, eat more." Fang Huaijin picked up a piece of meat and put it in a bowl. Ye Guilan hummed, and a child's shoe flew over her head.
"This soup is not bad, senior sister, drink more." Ye Guilan pushed the soup bowl in front of him, Fang Huaijin hummed, and another shoe flew over.
The whole family dinner scene was chaotic. Ye Guilan and Fang Huaijin were in the calm eating area, the elders of the Fang family were in the melon seeds and chatting area, the young people of the Fang family were in the cheerful chatting area, and the youngest members of the Fang family were full of people.
They were running around everywhere, and the huge family banquet hall was their playground. They shouted, ran around, and things flew around.
Ye Guilan focused on the food in front of him, scanning the various things flying around from time to time with his peripheral vision. Everyone in the Fang family had a smile on their face that was calm, even if something hit them, they just smiled and took it away, and continued on their own.
Ye Guilan watched the chat and stuffed another mouthful of meat. Such a family dinner was really an eye-opener.
In such a family atmosphere, it is really strange that the senior sister can develop such a character.
"Junior sister, I think it's almost time to leave." Fang Huaijin glanced at the other people present, "My family may gather around us later, so we'd better leave as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's go." Ye Guilan thought that so many people's scalps were numb during the day, so he quickly stood up, and Fang Huaijin also stood up. At this moment, someone in the elders area called out, "Xiaojin, wait for you.
Daddy is coming, why don’t you wait a moment?”
Big, big daddy?
Ye Guilan had a question mark on his face. Is there such a thing as a father?
Huh? Wait, I seem to remember that senior sister once said that her parents died early, so this eldest father... came later? No, senior sister is from the Fang family. What's going on?
"really?"
Ye Guilan looked at Fang Huaijin's side face. Her face was expressionless, but her little fists were clenched quietly. The elders laughed, "Of course you take it seriously, otherwise you think why there must be a family dinner."
"Okay, I'll just wait." Fang Huaijin said, turning to look at Ye Guilan, "Junior sister, do you still remember the way back to my yard?"
Ye Guilan shook his head, it would be strange to remember!
"...Then are you willing to wait a little longer with me?"
"No problem." Ye Guilan sat down quickly, and Fang Huaijin was a little helpless, "I don't want you to wait with me, it's just..."
"Senior sister, why...are you called eldest father?" Ye Guilan said cautiously, and Fang Huaijin took another bite of food for her, "I am not my father's biological child. To be precise, my father is my eldest father's younger brother, his twin brother.
"
Ye Guilan raised his eyebrows, that's it...
"My parents died when I was very young. I have been raised by my eldest father since I was a child. I was still young at that time, so I called him daddy." Fang Huaijin picked up another chopstick, "Although I am not my biological child.
, but in terms of blood relationship, I am closer than any other uncle, and my father also treats me as a daughter and disciplines me, and he has never done anything wrong to me."
Ye Guilan nodded while listening, and looked at his senior sister who picked up another chopstick and put it into his bowl, "It's just that we are not biological children after all. The death of my parents was a big blow to me, and my personality is not very good. In terms of relationships, we are far apart."
We are not as close as a father and daughter, but I am closer to my uncles."
Ye Guilan looked at the food that was almost piled up in his bowl and swallowed silently. Fang Huaijin took another chopstick and said, "He has been kind to me in raising me, but I have never repaid him, and I can't get close to him. Even more
I didn’t even get a chance to say a few words. Dad has always been indifferent to my affairs. Maybe he forgot about me."
Ye Guilan quickly pressed Fang Huaijin's chopsticks and said, "Sister, I can't eat any more."
Only then did Fang Huaijin notice the contents of the bowl, couldn't help but laugh, and quickly put down his chopsticks, "I'm a little lost, junior sister, the last time I saw dad was before I went to the small sect. Think about it, it's been three or four years.
Bar."
Ye Guilan hummed, thinking about her father who left suddenly, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart. But compared to her senior sister, she was much luckier. The love expressed by her father was direct and passionate, without any cover-up. How much he loved this
Daughter, no matter how exaggerated his expression was, his love was clearly written on his face, in his eyes, and engraved in every line of his words.
Ye Guilan grew up in Ye He's love, both in the past and now.
The originally lively and chaotic family dinner suddenly began to spread a sense of tension. The children who were running wildly just now were stopped by the adults and stood obediently behind them. The Fang family, who had been chatting and laughing just now, began to sit upright.
, the posture was very standard, and he even did not forget to pick up the things scattered on the ground, and hid them under his desk without having time to place them.
Ye Guilan was a little dumbfounded. This family...has two faces?
The elders of the Fang family all stood up, and several uncles came out with serious expressions. Fang Huaijin took a deep breath and looked outside the hall door, "It should be dad who is here."
Ye Guilan looked over curiously, and saw a figure walking forward like the wind, followed by several uncles he had seen before. They no longer looked relaxed just now, not to mention the other Fang family members, who were all sitting there.
, eating the most exquisite and elegant meal, the children did not dare to breathe loudly, and obediently only moved the chopsticks in their hands.
How should I put it? This is an extremely powerful man. His face has clear features, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high bridge of nose. He is somewhat handsome but does not contain any neutral beauty. Years of forging has made his figure slender and strong, and his clothes
As he swayed with his steps, it stuck to his skin, and you could even vaguely see the bulging lines of his muscles.
This was originally supposed to be an elderly man, but when he actually appeared, it only made people think that he was only in his early thirties.
Ye Guilan's eyes moved back, looking at Fang Huaijin's side face and the corners of her pursed lips. It was not difficult to understand that if her biological father was still alive, this would be what he looked like.
"Huaijin, you're back." When the man saw Fang Huaijin, he spoke in a deep and strong voice. Fang Huaijin hummed, "Dad, this is mine..." She was about to introduce Ye Guilan, but the man ignored her.
, walked to the front seat and sat down, "You dropped out of the small sect, but are you determined to pursue a career in blacksmithing?"
The Fang family's eyes glanced over. Ye Guilan looked at the man sitting in a high position, forging? He didn't know how good his senior sister was in pharmaceuticals?
"No, I'm not interested in forging, and I know I don't have the talent." Fang Huaijin spoke, with a respectful tone but full of rejection in his words. The man sitting in the first place frowned slightly, "How long are you going to work on medicine? After so many years,
That’s enough.”
"Dad, I'm not playing, I'm...!"
"Chengyu, Xiaojin is very strong in medicine, why do you bother to force her."
"Yes, don't force the child. You haven't asked much about her in the past few years. There are so many younger children in the family, but Xiaojin is still missing."
"Forging or anything like that is not suitable for Xiaojin. She can do whatever she wants. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Several uncles couldn't help but spoke. Fang Huaijin was sitting there with a somewhat painful expression. Ye Guilan was sitting next to him and didn't say a word. In such an occasion... how could she have the right to say anything? She just held her hand tightly,
Hold her trembling, cold hand tightly.
Fang Chengyu sat there, glanced at Ye Guilan, and finally changed the subject, "Are you the friend Huaijin brought back?"
Ye Guilan was suddenly called by name, and she was inexplicably nervous. Fang Huaijin quickly said, "Dad, she is Ye Guilan, she is my best friend and my fellow junior sister."
"Same disciple?"
"You don't know, Xiaojin has become a disciple of Song Jiu! It's the Song Jiu that she has longed for!"
"Who is Song Ji?" Fang Chengyu obviously didn't know anything. Several uncles were talking in a hurry, but Fang Chengyu's face became even more ugly when he heard it. At the end, he said coldly, "You also joined the pharmaceutical industry.
Master, I thought you were just playing for fun, but it seems you are serious."
"I have always been serious. I became a teacher. This is what I have always wanted! I want to study pharmacy and become a pharmacist. This is what I want to do."
Come on, senior sister!
Ye Guilan cheered in her heart when she saw it. The senior sister had changed. She bravely spoke out her inner thoughts. She was no longer the same person who followed the orders of her elders and acted like a small sect!
Fang Chengyu's face turned completely dark. He had never thought that the person speaking to him like this was Fang Huaijin, this little daughter who had always been polite and obedient! Although she was not his biological child, he sincerely regarded her as his own.
, now, my children have grown up and dare to talk back!
"Xiaojin, don't talk about it for now. Your dad finally has time, so let's talk about something happy..."
"It's rare that Huaijin brings friends home, so let's not talk about these things."
Fang Chengyu sat there, staring at Fang Huaijin. He slowly stood up and said, "You guys go on, I'll leave first." He stepped down from his seat, feeling the wind blowing under his feet. He never looked at Fang Huaijin again, but it didn't hurt.
I left a sentence, "As the only bloodline of Chengque, but he wants to stay away from forging, it is simply ridiculous."
Fang Huaijin's pupils shrank sharply, her eyes suddenly turned red, and her tears were about to fall. She stood up, turned around and ran out. Ye Guilan chased after her without thinking, "Senior sister!"
At the family banquet, several uncles from the Fang family could only sigh, "It's over, it's over. Today... we messed up again."
Ye Guilan chased after him all the way, fearing that he would be lost in the detour of the unclear path. Fang Huaijin ran all the way to his yard, and Ye Guilan also chased back all the way. "Senior sister!" She grabbed Fang Huaijin's hand.
Then I realized that her face was already filled with tears, and she was crying in an awkward manner.
"Senior sister..." Ye Guilan was heartbroken. She was humiliated like that by Wang Ke in front of her. Fang Huaijin didn't shed a single tear. But now, she was crying, just because of one word, just by one person.
"Why...why do you do this to me..." Fang Huaijin sobbed, "It's not that I haven't tried it, but I really don't have any talent in blacksmithing! What the children at home can learn in one go, I spent three days learning.
No! I’ve known since I was a child that I can’t become a blacksmith at all! But I also want to help, and I don’t want to disgrace my family’s reputation, let alone... others use this to say anything about my father!”
"I am the only bloodline left by my father, but I am an incompetent daughter. Even so... I also want to be someone who can make my father proud!" Fang Huaijin cried wildly, "It would be great if my father were here.
...It would be great if dad was here..."
Ye Guilan held her in his arms and listened to her cry when she was crying. Perhaps these were words that were pressing deep in her heart. Ye Guilan raised his head slightly and held back the tears that were about to fall.
It would be nice if dad were here... Yes, it would be nice if he was here.
