Yuan Fangtai was not in a hurry to go back this time, because when he came back before the New Year, Yuan Fangguo had already bought him a plane ticket to Beijing after the holiday. Compared with the plane which only took two and a half hours, the train took more than 30 hours. With the time saved, the brothers could spend more time together.
Yuan Fangtai has been either staying with his elder brother these days or visiting his comrades in his old unit. He has been living a pretty leisurely life. He knows that he will definitely not be able to come back during the summer vacation. The summer vacation at the Army Command College is used for internships in the troops, so now is a rare time for him to relax.
On the second day after the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Yuan Fangtai still boarded a plane to Beijing. Yuan Fangguo and his girlfriend sent him to the airport.
"Brother, see you next year." When leaving the city, Yuan Fangtai felt a little sad.
"See you next year." Yuan Fangguo patted his second brother's shoulder. "Work hard in school. In two years, you will be a platoon leader."
"Okay." Yuan Fangtai nodded, "Then you and sister-in-law should take care of your health."
Lin Yumei, who was standing by, couldn't help but blush when she heard Yuan Fangtai call her sister-in-law.
"Okay, go in quickly and remember to bring all those things to your leader." Yuan Fangguo patted his shoulder again.
Yuan Fangtai nodded, then turned and strode towards the airport security checkpoint.
After watching Yuan Fangtai disappear from sight, Yuan Fangguo looked at his girlfriend and said with a smile, "Yi Juntao and Sun Kejian will be back by plane later. Let's go back together."
"Okay." Lin Yumei nodded without hesitation.
It was still early for their flight to arrive at the airport, so they found a coffee shop and sat down.
Although they had met a few days ago, their brothers at home were also there, so it was not convenient for them to talk about some things. Now that it was just the two of them, they had a lot to talk about.
Lin Yumei and her family spent the Spring Festival in Shenzhen, which is why Li Chunli did not come back.
It happened that Li Chunli gave birth to a son during the Spring Festival, so the whole family stayed in Pengcheng until almost the tenth day of the first lunar month before returning.
"Did your third uncle have a daughter or a son before?" Yuan Fangguo suddenly asked.
"My daughter and her mother have settled abroad."
"It just so happens that your third uncle has a son." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
Lin Yumei nodded. "Although my grandmother is a senior cadre, she still has some patriarchal ideas. Our family is all girls, and now that a boy is born, she treats him like a treasure."
Shaodong is the name of Li Chunli and Lin Huayong's child.
"Your third uncle has a wealthy family and a great fortune. Doesn't it just so happen that he has a successor?" Yuan Fangguo said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"He can be considered a successor." Lin Yumei said after taking a sip of coffee.
"I was in my hometown during the Spring Festival and there was no cell phone signal at all. I remembered that Sister Chunli was going to give birth around that time, but later when things got a lot to do, I forgot about it. I'm going to call her now." Yuan Fangguo said as he took out his cell phone and called Li Chunli who was far away in Shenzhen.
Soon, Li Chunli's voice came from the other end of the phone.
…
Yi Juntao, Sun Kejian and his girlfriend Yang Yang all arrived at the airport at noon. After being picked up, Yuan Fangguo and others went straight to the city.
Tomorrow is the first day of school for them, and they don’t have much time left.
We hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and we had endless topics to talk about. I don't know how, but we ended up chatting about Gao Dapeng.
In the past, Yi Juntao would always be more or less dismissive when he mentioned Gao Dapeng, but today he seemed like a different person, and there was some sympathy for Gao Dapeng in his words.
Gao Dapeng failed the party member examination organized by the college in September last year.
After hearing this, Yuan Fangguo was shocked. He never expected that Gao Dapeng, a top student, would fail in the party member examination.
He had too much to do in the second half of the year, so he rarely went back to the dormitory. Even when he did go back to the dormitory, he rarely saw Gao Dapeng.
"Has Dapeng been depressed for a while?" Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but ask.
Sun Kejian and Yi Juntao nodded in agreement. "Yes, he was indeed depressed for a while. Thanks to the consideration and gentleness of his sister-in-law, he didn't fall into despair."
"Talk to Dapeng when you have time." Yuan Fangguo said so.
His idea was to find Gao Dapeng to talk as soon as school started, but unexpectedly Gao Dapeng took the initiative to come to him.
Moreover, Gao Dapeng went straight to the point and asked to borrow two thousand yuan.
Yuan Fangguo instantly thought of the time when Lai Xiaojun had borrowed money from him. The reason was very simple: to help his girlfriend have an abortion.
Seeing that Gao Dapeng was hesitant to borrow money from him, Yuan Fangguo began to wonder if this seemingly honest guy had also gotten his sister-in-law pregnant.
Although he was skeptical, Yuan Fangguo lent him two thousand yuan without hesitation.
After chatting with Gao Dapeng for a while and not finding anything unusual about him, Yuan Fangguo's somewhat anxious heart calmed down.
"Just tell me when you need money." Yuan Fangguo said readily.
Gao Dapeng nodded, chatted for a few more words, and then left in a hurry.
Not long after Gao Dapeng left, Yuan Fangguo drove straight to the airport.
This time he went alone to pick up Lin Yu.
Lin Yu did not come alone, her father Lin Changchun also came with her.
Lin Yumei didn't come with the family because a relative was having a birthday.
This time when he saw Lin Changchun in the airport departure hall, Yuan Fangguo was surprised.
At this moment, Lin Changchun has become like a wealthy boss, with his hair neatly combed, a suit and tie, and a very imposing appearance.
"Fangguo." Lin Changchun was also very happy to see Yuan Fangguo, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"Uncle Lin." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
"I'm sorry to bother you again. When will you come to visit our Donghai City?" Lin Changchun used the words "our Donghai City" in his words.
"I will definitely go if I have the chance."
"Brother, let's go there together during the summer vacation." Lin Yu also took the initiative to extend the invitation.
"Okay, I'll definitely go and see it during the summer vacation."
"Your girlfriend didn't come?" Lin Changchun suddenly asked.
Yuan Fangguo shook his head. "She had something to do and didn't come."
While the two were talking, the expression on Lin Yu's face suddenly became a little unnatural. She regretted telling her father that Yuan Fangguo had a girlfriend.
Oh, I have such a pig brain.
