Chapter 246 Encounter

Chapter 247 Encounter

It rained all night last night. When Fang's mother Liu Chunxia opened the window, she found that it was snowing outside.

"Oh, it's really cold today, it's freezing outside! Lao Fang, why don't you two stay at home today?"

Ever since Fang Qing was injured and recuperating at home, the old couple moved to the capital to take care of their daughter. But it is not known whether the parents were unwilling to go back, even though Fang Qing's injuries had healed, the old couple did not mention returning to their hometown.

Fang Qing was eating wontons while listening to the morning news with his father. "It's okay, Mom. My dad and I will drive there. We won't be cold. Come back soon for dinner!"

Fang's mother closed the window, returned to the dining table and served a bowl of wontons. Thinking of the call from her uncle last night, she sighed, "Your grandmother called us yesterday and asked when we would be back..."

Fang Qing paused for a moment while biting the spoon, "So are you two going back?"

Fang Ming shook his head, "Not for now. Your uncle later told us that we can stay here for a few more days since he's at home."

Seeing the obvious reluctance on his mother's face, Fang Qing sighed secretly. In the past few years, his grandmother had become more and more outrageous. No matter what his mother did, she was not satisfied. Now that his mother had finally gotten rid of her grandmother and left that home, it was like escaping from a cage.

"Mom, if you don't want to take care of grandma, I can find a way."

Liu Chunxia was stunned for a moment when she heard Fang Qing's words, then she shook her head, "Don't worry about family affairs, kid. Just take care of yourself."

Originally, Mrs. Fang was going to come with them, but Fang Deli suddenly came back and said that business was not doing well and he wanted to rest at home for a while. Mrs. Fang was very happy when she heard this and immediately asked Fang's mother to send her to her eldest son's house. The most amazing thing was that Mrs. Fang, who had been unable to walk for the past two years, actually stood up when she arrived at her eldest son's house.

Before leaving, Fang's mother was still a little worried, so she went to see the old lady, only to see that Mrs. Fang was happily making dumplings for her son in the kitchen!

Liu Chunxia had never been so speechless before. She immediately put down her things and followed her husband to the train station. She stayed in the capital for more than a month.

Fang Qing thought of the weird grandma at home and lost his appetite. He quickly drank the soup in the bowl, got dressed, and went downstairs to warm up the car.

Fang Decai didn't say anything until he was full. Then he wiped his mouth and looked at his wife, "This is for your own good, kid. We should have a good talk with our mom about how she is. Even if she doesn't like our family, she can't ignore it like this."

Liu Chunxia glared at her husband. "Come on, have you? She doesn't take you, her own son, seriously. How can I, her cheap daughter-in-law, reason with her? Come on, go now. It will be dark any later!"

Fang Decai knew that he couldn't convince his wife, but he didn't get angry. He slowly went back to change into warm clothes, then went out with his bag. "By the way, it's cold today, shall we have hot pot tonight? We'll go to the market to buy some vegetables when we come back. If you want to eat anything, give us a call."

Fang's mother hated her husband's nagging personality the most. She turned around and glared at him, scaring him so much that he quickly closed the door and went downstairs muttering, "Oh, what a temper. Is this menopause?"

The father and daughter came to a cemetery with their belongings. After placing the belongings, Fang De asked his daughter to bow and lay flowers to the person on the tombstone, and then asked her to wait for him in the car. After Fang Qing walked away, he took out a bottle of wine from his pocket and placed two wine glasses.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm here to see you..."

Fang Decai was talking to himself in front of the tombstone about what had happened in his family in the past few years. He said that the girl just now was his daughter, who had become successful and the family conditions were better. Except for his mother who was becoming more and more troublesome, everything was going well at home.

Maybe it was because the wind was particularly cold today, or maybe it was because he was too drunk, Fang Decai's face quickly turned red. He slowly climbed up, holding onto the tombstone, and looking at the scenery in the distance, he couldn't help but murmured, "Uncle Zhou, I have always felt unhappy these years. Do you think I made a mistake by not recognizing him?"

A gust of wild wind blew by, and the wild grass rustled, as if it was a sigh or a response, which made Fang Decai's eyes slightly wet. He touched the tombstone, and finally stood up and bowed deeply.

"The child is still waiting, so I'll go back first. I'll come to see you next time, Uncle Zhou."

After brushing off the snow on his body, Fang Decai slowly walked back along the stone road. After a few steps, he saw a few people walking towards him.

Seeing that there were many people on the other side, he stepped aside to let them pass first. However, the stone slab under his feet got stuck on his shoes and he almost tripped.

Seeing this, the bodyguard protecting Mr. Qin immediately grabbed Fang Decai who was about to fall, "Sir, be careful."

Fang Decai stood up straight and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, young man."

This sudden change immediately attracted the attention of Mr. Qin. He opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of Fang Decai. He smelled the alcohol and thought it was a drunkard. He lost interest and was about to close his eyes and rest, but he suddenly opened his eyes the next second.

"etc!"

Fang Decai had already walked quite far away. He was startled by the shouting and turned back in confusion, "Are you...something wrong?"

Mr. Qin asked his men to help him down, and slowly walked to Fang Decai. He looked at the man in front of him with some excitement, "Sir, may I ask... have we met before?"

Fang Decai looked at the old man in front of him with some doubts, "Grandpa, I... probably haven't seen you before."

Old Master Qin was a little disappointed. "I'm sorry. When I first saw you, I felt very familiar with you. I thought you were the son of an old friend. Alas! I'm old and my memory is not good."

Fang Decai smiled in understanding, "It's okay, I often mistake people for others, too."

For some reason, Mr. Qin always felt very close to the man in front of him and wanted to chat with him more. Maybe this was what others called friendship regardless of age difference?

"Are you here to visit the graves too?"

"Yes, I came to see an uncle, a former comrade of my father's."

"Oh? Your father was also a soldier? Which unit did he serve in?"

"I don't remember that. My dad rarely mentioned his past in the military."

…

The two stood there and talked for a long time, until the bodyguard at the side interrupted them quietly because he was worried that the old man could not take it.

Fang Decai saw this and took the opportunity to back off. He said goodbye to Old Qin and hurried down the mountain.

But Mr. Qin just stared at Fang Decai's back for a long time without leaving. "Hey, why are you stopping me? It's rare for me to meet someone I like. I haven't even asked him where he lives, but you scared him away..."

Old Master Qin pouted like a child, and the bodyguard beside him didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Old Master, I was wrong. I accept the punishment. How about this? I will find out the information of this person for you tonight, and take you to find him tomorrow. How about that?"

Old Master Qin blew his beard angrily for a long time, and then nodded after hearing this, "Then don't scare them, don't make us look like bullies..."

"Don't worry, he won't be able to escape."
