On the ninth day of the first lunar month, their father Yuan Chengzhu and their third brother Yuan Fangmin sent the two brothers down the mountain. They also brought a lot of cured meat and wild vegetables, as well as the cloth shoes and insoles made by their grandmother.
When leaving his hometown, it was his second brother Yuan Fangtai who was driving the car. Yuan Fangguo stuck his head out of the window and kept waving goodbye to his father and third brother who were standing in the cold wind. He didn't stick his head back until his father and third brother disappeared from his sight.
I had previously made an appointment with Liu Wenbo to go to his house again this afternoon, but at noon, Yuan Fangguo and Yuan Fangtai met with Liu Shengyong's family in the county town.
This time, Liu Shengyong's wife, Mrs. Liu, no longer set her sights on Yuan Fangguo, but instead set her sights on her second brother, Yuan Fangtai.
Yuan Fangtai didn't expect that Mrs. Liu would introduce him to a girlfriend, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
"How about a meeting?"
Yuan Fangtai shook his head like a rattle, "Sister-in-law, forget about meeting, I'm still in the army."
"What's wrong with being a soldier? You won't find a wife when you're a soldier? Ask your brother Liu, he was a soldier before, and he wrote to me every day when he was in the army." Mrs. Liu spoke like a machine gun, making Liu Shengyong look helpless.
"I tell you to stop interfering. If they are destined to be together, they will be together anyway. If they are not destined to be together, even if you let them meet every day, they will not be together."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Liu Shengyong, saying with disdain, "You old superstitious person, you still believe in fate? Fate is something you have to fight for yourself, really."
"You're talking about your woman." Liu Shengyong also looked quite helpless.
"Sister-in-law, my brother and I are going back to Chengdu today." Yuan Fangtai quickly thought of an idea and said.
"That's okay. I'll give you her home phone number and school address. You can write to her or call her later." Mrs. Liu was really a decisive person. She asked the waiter for paper and pen, and quickly wrote down her cousin's contact address and phone number on the paper.
All of this suddenly became difficult for Yuan Fangtai.
"Take it quickly." Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
For some unknown reason, Yuan Fangtai took the paper from Mrs. Liu's hand.
"You bitch..." Liu Shengyong sighed.
…
Before leaving, Liu Shengyong and Yuan Fangguo roughly agreed on a time to meet in Chengdu after the New Year.
After getting in the car, the two brothers headed straight for Jiangnan City.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived in Jiangnan City.
In fact, Yuan Fangguo didn't want to bother the Liu family again, but the Liu family was too welcoming, so he had to visit Liu Wenbo's house again.
After buying some fruits at a fruit store outside the district and picking up some homemade bacon, sausages and other mountain products, Yuan Fangguo and Yuan Fangtai came downstairs to Liu Wenbo's house.
Liu Wenbo had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the two brothers Yuan Fangguo coming, he quickly walked over. When he saw the gifts in their hands, Liu Wenbo couldn't help but complain, "Fangguo, you and I are good brothers, why are you still carrying these? Put them in the car quickly."
Yuan Fangguo smiled and said, "Wenbo, it's precisely because you and I are good friends that I have to bring gifts when I come to your house. Besides, these are not all for you. Let your uncle and aunt taste the preserved meat from our hometown. Don't be stubborn. If you are stubborn, we won't go to your house today."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's go."
When they arrived at Liu's house, Liu's father and mother were still enthusiastic. When Yuan Fangguo handed them the gifts, they were surprised and kept saying many polite words like "no". However, they could not resist Yuan Fangguo's insistence and accepted the gifts happily.
"Wenjing, your brother's classmates are here, come out and play with them." When Liu's mother passed by the bedroom, she couldn't help but knock on the door of a bedroom.
"Okay, wait a moment." A crisp voice came out.
Yuan Fangguo had known for a long time that Liu Wenbo had a younger sister. It was the second semester of his senior year in high school, and he would be taking the college entrance examination in less than half a year.
"How is it? It feels good to be back home." Liu Wenbo made two cups of tea for the two brothers.
"Not bad. It snowed heavily in my hometown. My brother and I went to the mountains to set up a trap and caught several pheasants."
"That one that was a bit big just now was a pheasant?" Liu Wenbo asked.
"Yes, that's pheasant. You can try it. It tastes quite good."
"I didn't expect you guys to be this capable," Liu Wenbo said. "I'm almost going crazy staying at home. I just want to go back to school as soon as possible."
"How's your thing going?" Yuan Fangguo suddenly thought of Liu Wenbo's research.
Liu Wenbo nodded and said, "I've finished writing it. I'm revising it now and plan to mail it to Senior Brother Tian Ying after the New Year so he can give me some pointers."
"I think your greatest pleasure is writing. You are suitable to be a reporter." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
The three of them were chatting when a girl in plaid clothes came out of the bedroom.
The girl also had a cheerful look on her face and seemed to be an extrovert. Yuan Fangguo's first impression of her was that she looked a bit like Lin Yu.
"Brother, who are these two big brothers?"
"My classmate." Liu Wenbo said with a smile, "Wenjing, let me introduce you. This is my best friend from college, Yuan Fangguo. This is his younger brother, Yuan Fangtai. He's currently serving in the army in Chengdu."
"Hello, two brothers." Liu Wenjing sat obediently next to Liu Wenbo.
"My sister is also going to take the college entrance examination this year, and she is also planning to come to Chengdu." Liu Wenbo said.
Yuan Fangguo smiled and said, "Do you have a school you like?"
"My grades aren't as good as my brother's. The only schools suitable for girls are either Normal University or Medical College. I haven't decided yet."
"Both schools are good. One graduate is a teacher, the other a doctor. Finding a job is easy."
When Liu Wenjing heard this, she was immediately surprised. "Aren't they just assigning jobs? Why are they still looking for a job?"
Not only Liu Wenjing was surprised, but even Liu Wenbo and his second brother Yuan Fangtai were also very surprised.
Yuan Fangguo smiled and explained, "The government might start to stop guaranteeing job assignments in the next few years."
Liu Wenbo shook his head. "That's a myth. Isn't the reason we all work so hard on the college entrance exam to get a stable job?"
Liu Wenjing also nodded, agreeing with her brother.
Yuan Fangguo smiled and said, "I just think it's possible, but the Normal College and Medical College are really good."
"I'll try my best." Liu Wenjing smiled. "If it doesn't work out, I'll have to go to Jiangnan Normal University."
Liu Wenbo continued to shake his head, denying his sister's idea. "Jiangnan Normal University is not on the same level as the Provincial Normal University. Wenjing, you have to work hard and get into the Provincial Normal University."
Liu Wenjing sighed softly and nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'll try my best to get into a university in Rongcheng."
