There always seems to be something wrong with New Year's Eve without the sound of firecrackers. The policy prohibiting the setting off of firecrackers has gone up and down several times.
Liveliness, reunion, and harmony are the most common phenomena during the Spring Festival.
During the Spring Festival when he was ten years old, Fang Zhe had an incompatible bystander mentality towards the excitement of the Spring Festival, and it seemed difficult to integrate into the cheerful and lively atmosphere. Fang Zhe still clearly remembers that the Spring Festival when he was ten years old was the same as the Spring Festival.
I spent time with my grandmother, but my mother Yu Fen didn’t come back, and Fang Yue didn’t show up either. Many things can really be remembered for a lifetime.
At the beginning of this year's New Year's Eve, Fang Zhe also showed signs of falling into loneliness and then being in a daze, but when the child crawled on him naturally, he sat softly on his knees, and quickly reached out to support Fang Zhe, who was worried about falling.
Still have energy to be in a daze.
Li Ping also noticed that this child was particularly clingy to Fang Zhe, so she smiled happily and said: "You guys play, I can do it alone."
A bunch of toys were moved out, including racing cars, Transformers and the like, some old ones and some new ones bought today.
When Fang Zhe saw the toy, something naturally popped into his mind, a clockwork frog. This was probably his favorite toy when he was a child, and it was the only toy that his parents paid for. After that, there was no new one.
The toy, where is the frog? Fang Zhe couldn't remember. It seemed that he sold it for one yuan and then bought the monkey ticket.
The child was very well-behaved. When Fang Zhe was distracted, he was also having fun. When Li Ping came out from her work, she saw Fang Zhe wearing a Zhu Bajie mask and the child wearing a Monkey Brother mask. The two were "
"Fighting". The child struck a blow, and Fang Zhe fell down very cooperatively, and even twisted a few times. His acting skills were so bad. That is to say, there was no rating, otherwise Li Ping would definitely give a bad rating.
After dinner, the child fell asleep quickly and lay in the middle of the sofa. The two adults sat on both sides, but their shoulders were close to each other.
This feeling is very strange. This is Fang Zhe's understanding. Li Ping's understanding is too warm, but unfortunately it is short-lived.
Fang Zhe left early in the morning on the second day of the lunar new year. The flight was in the morning. It was freezing in the morning, so he still had to catch the flight. Li Ping didn't see him off. The car was driven by a driver arranged in advance. He was not as talkative as ordinary drivers, and even
He said he didn't say a word and looked very professional.
The plane did not go to Songjiang, but to Jinling. No wonder Jinling is called "Huijing". Jinling Airport is less than a hundred palaces away from Jiangcheng, and Jiangcheng is more than 200 kilometers away from the provincial capital airport. This geographical location is too embarrassing.
.
The original plan was to call a taxi at the airport, but I accepted it after being stabbed. Before I even got out of the gate, I saw someone holding a sign to pick people up.
He stepped forward and announced his address. The person who came was a man in his fifties. He immediately spoke with a Jiangcheng accent: "Boss Yu arranged for me to pick you up."
Just to be polite, Fang Zhe didn’t mean to say much. He got up early in the morning and couldn’t sleep early on the plane. He started to feel sleepy when he got in the car. Especially when the heater was turned on in the car, he was very hypnotic. After a while, Fang Zhe
Zhe curled up in the back seat and fell asleep. Being so sleepy was naturally due to Li Ping, who drank the tiger bone, ginseng and antler wine for free.
Fang Zhe woke up when he arrived in Jiangcheng and felt much better. Seeing the Duan family getting closer, Fang Zhe felt a little uncomfortable. Although Yu Fen occupies an absolutely dominant position financially, when facing Lao Duan,
, Yu Fen still puts herself in a low position. Some things are really deep in the bones, even for a strong woman like Yu Fen.
Fang Zhe, who got off the car, was surprised to see Duan Mei standing on the steps waving to him, blinking, blinking, blinking again. After making sure he saw and heard correctly, Fang Zhe smiled: "Why don't you say something when you come back for the New Year?"
Duanmei stepped forward and gave her a warm hug. After a while, she let go and said, "Didn't I want to surprise you? I didn't expect you were not in Jiangcheng, so the surprise can only be postponed."
Fang Ze shook his head and said: "To be honest, if I hadn't understood the situation in the United States, you wouldn't have surprised me, but frightened me." Duanmei stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "You know, I
The studio can’t live in peace every day now.”
"What's wrong?" Fang Zhe asked strangely, and Duanmei said: "It's not just those classmates who want to come in and make some money. Our classmates are really weird. It's not difficult to find a job in the United States, right? Especially for them, who are white.
It's easy to get a part-time job. Unlike us foreign students, it's illegal to work part-time. But most of them don't work for long. After they save a lot of money, they go out to play in various ways. I can't understand them anyway.
, you probably don’t know that fifteen people have changed in my studio.”
Fang Zhe didn't understand, so Duan Mei added: "When one person leaves, they will often recommend another person to come in. I later signed a single contract with them, instead of working in the studio, I provided an outline. But it still kept coming.
Some people come to me and want to join a studio, where they can provide a place to stay.”
"I understand, the rent is not cheap." Fang Zhe understood. If a part-time job can provide free accommodation in the United States, it is really attractive. However, these Americans are often uncertain, and there are very few people who can really stick to it.
"Yes, there is another question before me now. I have finished the outline. Do I want to continue in the future?" Duan Mei suddenly asked with a smile, and then Fang Zhe understood her purpose of coming back.
"Well, let's pause now. You can continue writing about your twilight. When I go to the United States, I'll see all the results of your work." Fang Zhe took the luggage from the driver, stopped him, and stuffed it for him.
Lifting a cigarette: "Thank you for your hard work, it's Chinese New Year."
The driver thanked him again and again, but Duan Mei noticed it but didn't say anything. Yu Fen came out and said, "Yi Yi Zhonghua, you are so generous. I paid you overtime, okay? One day counts as three days' wages."
This is not how you spend your money."
Fang Zhe smiled and said: "I didn't spend any money, someone else gave it to me." This time, I only had one suitcase when I came back. Li Ping had prepared a lot of things but didn't bring them because she thought it would be troublesome to check them in. She only brought a few cigarettes, and it was still Li Pinglin.
It's stuffed in.
Yu Fen said nothing more, took the luggage and walked inside. When Fang Zhe followed and walked on the sofa, Yu Fen said, "I met the mayor some time ago. Do you have anything to say?"
Fang Zhe gave her a decisive explanation: "Don't worry about this matter, just pretend you don't know anything. The water here is very deep."
Yu Fen was confused: "What do you mean?" Fang Zhe really didn't want to have any contact between Yu Fen and Meng Tingzhi. The reason was very simple. Yu Fen's rank was too low and he was no match for Meng Tingzhi. Even if Fang Zhe faced Meng Tingzhi,
That's just pretending to be stupid and not accepting her tricks easily. Otherwise, this woman can really find a lot of things for you for the sake of her career.
"It involves hundreds of millions of investments, so don't get involved. I have a professional team here to conduct careful research before finally deciding whether to do it." Fang Zhe gave an honest explanation, and Yu Fen
After hearing this, he immediately panicked: "Let me tell you, why would a big leader take the initiative to come and chat with me? Others are envious of me, but I am just happy."
Don't tell me, Fang Zhe's reasons deeply stimulated Yu Fen. Everything she is doing now, to put it harshly, is based on the prosperity of Fang Zhe's career. Anything and anyone who threatens Fang Zhe's career
, she was very resistant to it.
Yu Fen said nothing more and turned around to prepare lunch. There was a nanny at home. Wasn't it a holiday?
Fang Zhe took the tea from Duan Mei and asked in a low voice: "Where is Lao Duan?"
Duanmei curled her lips: "I went to some symposium early in the morning and wrote two crooked poems. I feel like I am a figure."
This attitude surprised Fang Zhe. He looked at the kitchen and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense. I must have my own social circle."
"Shit, those people want him to be rich. I haven't seen those people come to him before. Now they go out to drink with him all day long. One time when he arrived, everyone had finished drinking, and he happily paid the bill. Think of me
I'm just angry, that is, Aunt Yu has a good temper, and someone else would have started fucking with him." Duanmei gritted her teeth and added: "This morning, I didn't stop her no matter what."
Fang Zhe probably understood when he heard this, smiled and said: "You don't understand, right?"
Duanmei lowered her voice and asked, "What don't you understand? When my family was in trouble, I could only buy some delicious food and beautiful clothes throughout the year, that is, during the Chinese New Year. What kind of life do I usually have? Buying clothes is always the cheapest."
Will people take him seriously then? That is..."
Fang Zhe raised his hand and lowered it, interrupting her: "Face, a man's face. Even if you tell me, you don't understand. You are not a man."
"Of course I know he wants to save face, but you should also divide people?" Duan Mei was no longer so irritable, Fang Zhe said with a smile: "Think about it, old Duan is such a proud person. If you study abroad or something, he
He has no energy at all, and the house he lives in was bought by my mother, what can he do with his little salary?"
Duanmei nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, but I just can't stand it. That face is all fake, forget it."
Fang Zhe smiled and said nothing. Duanmei rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'm going to help."
Snobbery is everywhere in this society. Fang Zhe has long been numb. If he insists on being serious, will he still be alive?
Yu Fen prepared very well. Many dishes were prepared and put in the refrigerator. They were ready to be heated up. Soon the table was set. According to the New Year custom in Jiangcheng, the dishes on the table must be an even number. The so-called
Eight bowls, ten bowls. One of the bowls of fish is a symbolic dish. No one will touch it. It has been left out until the fifteenth day. If you can't eat it, you have to take it away and throw it away.
Fang Zhe didn't care about this. He walked to the kitchen door and asked, "Where is grandma? Why didn't you see anyone?"
Yu Fen turned around and said: "She is in her room. Now no one greets her and she rarely goes out of her room."
Fang Zhe hurriedly went to take a look. When he opened the door and saw his grandmother, his heart immediately felt sour. She sat blankly on the recliner alone, looking straight out of the window. Fang Zhe stepped forward and squatted in front of her, grabbing her withered hand:
