The elder brother and sister-in-law took the two to Chengdu Airport, and they said goodbye.
Chu Fang stopped, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to his elder brother, and said, "Brother, this is the contact information of a friend of mine. His family is also in the construction business. I think you should have a lot to talk about with him."
Chu Fang and Chu Yongquan are brothers who are as close as blood brothers, having grown up together since childhood and sharing an extraordinary bond.
When Chu Fang had the ability, he hoped that his family would also live well.
He lived a life of luxury, while his elder brother toiled away on construction sites, and he couldn't bear to see him suffer like that.
A family should help each other.
Despite some of the realities, it must be acknowledged that money does contribute to family unity.
Seeing that her pupils had dilated slightly, Ye Shan, the eldest sister-in-law, was filled with excitement, but she didn't continue. Instead, she turned her gaze to her husband.
Seeing that his elder brother remained motionless, Chu Fang put the note into his brother's pocket and said, "Alright, we are brothers, and it is our responsibility to carry on the Chu family's legacy and ensure the continuation of our bloodline."
After saying that, ignoring his elder brother, he waved to Ye Shan and said, "Then, sister-in-law, Chu Yi and I are leaving. Please take care of yourselves. You live close to your hometown, so please take good care of the elderly."
The eldest brother, Chu Yongquan, said, "Second brother, take care of yourself and get married soon."
"good."
Chu Fang smiled, then entered the airport with Chu Yi and disappeared into the vast crowd.
Chu Yongquan and Ye Shan stood there, the latter holding the former's arm, tilting her head and saying, "You're not still thinking of refusing, are you?"
"No." Chu Yongquan shrugged. "I can't let my second brother down."
She paused, then continued, "It's just... just a little bittersweet."
“When he was little, I played with him, climbed mountains and went to the sea. In my eyes, he was always a little brother. I should be the eldest brother and take care of him and guide him into society. But suddenly the two sides reversed. He grew so tall, helped his younger sister, and supported the entire Chu family, reaching a height that I could never reach in my life. I have an indescribable feeling in my heart.”
Perhaps it was stubbornness, perhaps it was helplessness...
There was both joy at Chu's success and a sense of melancholy.
After a moment of silence, Ye Shan, the eldest sister-in-law, said, "Husband, you will always be the tallest giant in my eyes."
Chu Yongquan smiled gently: "I may be a bit busy for a while and won't be able to spend time with you."
"fine."
“... ..."
When they woke up, they were already in Shanghai. Chu Fang and Chu Yi went to Zhonghai Mingyuan first.
Upon seeing Zhou Qiong, Chu Yi immediately rushed over: "Qiongqiong, I missed you so much, I missed you so much!"
I miss you too.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chu Fang prepared to leave.
His two younger sisters had been living in Zhonghai Mingyuan for more than half a year and were very familiar with everything around them, so he saw no need to stay any longer.
But before leaving, he patted Zhou Qiong's head and said, "You must be exhausted these days. You have class tomorrow, so get some rest and don't think about anything else. The next six months are the most important, as they are related to your future."
“Okay.” Zhou Qiong nodded.
A well-behaved little girl.
Chu Fang then left, driving his Cadillac away from the residential area.
Back in the Tanhua residential area, Chu Fang swung his keys as he entered the complex. He saw the security guard sitting at the entrance, basking in the sun, and casually said, "Happy New Year, sir."
The old man replied, "Are you grinning like an idiot?"
You are in good health.
"I don't eat lamb."
“... ..."
Chu Fang had figured out the security guard's trick: when he didn't want to talk to anyone, he would usually resort to 'misheard lyrics' and send random replies.
He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and tossed it into the old man's arms. The old man glanced at it, forced a smile, and said, "Happy New Year, young man! May your family be happy and everything go well for you."
“... ..."
That old man is such a snob!
Enter the residential complex, take the elevator, open the door, and enter your home.
Upon entering his home, Chu felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity, even surpassing that of Zhonghai Mingyuan, a place that held many of his memories.
I immediately felt much more relaxed.
"Phew..." Chu Fang opened the window, dust swirled around, and gently blew out a breath. "That woman hasn't come home yet, and I'm cleaning all by myself. It's just too miserable."
He kept nagging as he cleaned the room.
Chu Fang didn't ask anyone else to clean the room, such as a housekeeper or a cleaner. Perhaps it was a psychological obsession with cleanliness, but he found cleaning the room to be an interesting activity, especially wiping the dust off the table with a cloth, which made it clean in no time and gave him a great sense of satisfaction.
By the time I finished cleaning the room, the sun had already set.
The weather in Shanghai is much better than in Chengdu. Except for a few days when it's overcast, it's sunny most of the time, unlike Chengdu, where it's gloomy for most of the year, making you feel depressed.
He went downstairs to the supermarket to buy daily necessities, vegetables, and fruits, and the empty refrigerator was filled up again.
Then he cooked a dish of 'potato rice'.
The so-called 'kongfan' is a common home-style dish in the southwestern region.
Cook the rice until it is 70% done, then drain it. Next, heat oil in a pot, add diced cured meat, potato chunks, green bean segments, and salt, stir-fry, then add water and simmer until the ingredients are half-cooked. Once the water has evaporated, add the drained rice, pour cold water around the edge of the pot to prevent it from sticking, cover the pot, and simmer.
Just as the simmering food was cooking, a voice came from the doorway. Chu Fang raised an eyebrow: "We're here?"
Zhong Tingyue also went home today.
Turning my head, I saw that it was indeed her, still as stunning as ever.
She wore a long white down jacket and light blue jeans. Although the clothes covered most of her legs, you could still see that they were long and beautiful legs.
Her long, black hair was styled into a single ponytail, swaying with her movements, making her look exceptionally pure and innocent.
In contrast, Lily is bald and has no hair on her body.
Because her hair was burned, Zhong Tingyue simply shaved off all the remaining hair.
Upon entering, Zhong Tingyue looked at Chu Fang with a smile, as if waiting for praise, and he said, "Ms. Zhong, you seem to have gained weight."
Her smile froze on her face, and Zhong Tingyue uttered each word clearly: "Chu Fang, it feels numb!"
"You've gotten fat in the right places. I'll have to give you a thorough check-up tonight," Chu Fang continued.
"Oh my, you two should save these words for bed. They're making me so shy. I'm still a young girl." Yang Meina's voice came from behind, full of teasing. "Chu Fang, you didn't actually sleep with my childhood friend, did you?"
"Nonsense! If I didn't eat the meat that's already in my mouth, would I be an idiot?" Chu Fang retorted, sticking out his neck.
Yang Meina rolled her eyes: "I don't believe it."
"You're too young to understand."
“... ..."
As night fell, the three of them ate dinner. The two girls practically collapsed on the sofa, rubbing their round bellies with expressions of complete satisfaction.
"My goodness! Chu Fang, your cooking is amazing!" Yang Meina exclaimed. "The rice is perfectly separated, and the aroma of vegetables, lard, and cured meat is wonderful. Especially the last bowl of rice porridge—it's the perfect complement to the rice, a truly wonderful combination."
The so-called 'rice water' is the original soup left over from cooking rice. It tastes particularly delicate and smooth, with a faint aroma of rice.
After resting for a while, Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue escorted Yang Meina out of the residential area, where she looked dejected: "Waaah, Chu Fang, can you be my personal chef? I really want to eat your cooking."
"Ten million a day."
"robbery?"
"I earn ten million every day just by lying down, and it's the real deal."
Yang Meina asked, "How much did you earn when you were working?"
“Ten million and one hundred yuan, sometimes not even one hundred, it was all deducted by Zhong Tingyue.”
“... ..."
Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and remained silent.
The two men put Yang Meina in the car and, instead of going home, walked along the street.
Although it's still winter, the sun has been shining brightly these past few days, and the evening temperatures are pleasant, making it a good time for a walk, especially since there aren't many people on the streets.
Lily the tabby cat walked along the sidewalk ahead, sometimes jogging, sometimes looking around at the bushes.
"Oh no!"
Chu Fang asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Tingyue frowned slightly: "I think I really have gained weight."
As she spoke, she rubbed her arm as if checking her body: "I've been eating well all the time since I went home for Chinese New Year, and I've forgotten about managing my figure. I've really gained weight."
“... ..."
Chu Fang looked his girlfriend up and down, then put on a dead fish expression.
When have you ever participated in a body management program?
Since Chu Fang met Zhong Tingyue, he has never seen her manage her figure.
Exercise? Very little!
Dietary restrictions? No!
I hardly exercise, and I never skip three meals a day, or even late-night snacks after working overtime. If I find something I like to eat, I eat more; if I don't like something, I eat less.
Even so, Zhong Tingyue doesn't seem to have gained weight; her figure remains as good as ever.
When Zhong Tingyue was hospitalized, Chu Fang specifically asked the doctor to check if there were any problems with her digestive function. After a thorough examination, the doctor came to the following conclusion:
They have extraordinary health!
Chu Fang was almost dumbfounded.
Is this healthy or unhealthy?
He was relieved only after the doctor repeatedly assured him that he was healthy.
Therefore, when Chu Fang heard Zhong Tingyue say that she had gained weight, he was speechless.
Girl, what outrageous things are you saying?
Zhong Tingyue sensed her boyfriend's thoughts and said, "Really, I'm not lying to you."
"Then let me check it."
After saying that, Chu Fang looked around and then began to examine Zhong Tingyue. While she was extremely speechless and embarrassed, he finally finished his inspection and said, "You have indeed gained weight. Under my guidance, you have finally grown. I am very pleased."
“... ..."
It feels numb when you squeeze it!
Who told you to check that area?
