Chapter 200 Arrival
Chapter 201 Arrival
The setting sun gradually faded into dark clouds, the birds on the telephone poles returned to their nests, and Fang Qing and the other two finally arrived home.
Fang Qing hadn't been home for a long time. As soon as he stepped into the house, his eyes filled with tears.
The red lanterns at the door cast a soft light, illuminating the road in front of the house. Their mother was standing at the door looking at them from afar.
"Mom, I'm back."
Fang's mother has aged quite quickly in the past two years. As Fang Qing approached, she saw the white hair on her mother's temples. She suddenly felt sad. When she left, her mother still had a head full of black hair. How could she have aged so much in less than a year?
When Fang's mother saw her daughter, her eyes were filled with excitement. She looked her daughter up and down with a smile in her eyes.
"Why are you so thin? Did you not eat well? Come in quickly. I know you will be back today, so I prepared some delicious food."
When everyone entered the house, Fang's mother finally noticed the beautiful young girl next to her uncle.
"This...is Deli's friend?"
Fang Deli smiled and explained, "She's my girlfriend. We're planning to get the marriage certificate and hold a wedding banquet this time."
It was the first time that Fang's mother saw her brother-in-law being so serious, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"You finally brought her back. Your family was worried that you couldn't find a partner. This girl is really pretty. What's her name? How old is she this year?"
Tracy was looking around. Hearing this, she looked at Fang's mother with a smile and said, "Hello, my name is Tracy."
Fang's mother was a little confused, "Tracy, this name is quite unique..."
After so many years of working outside, Fang Deli finally found a partner, which made Liu Chunxia, who was both his sister-in-law and mother, finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Tracy, our family conditions are average, please don't despise me. I have already cleaned your guest room in advance. There are new sheets and quilt covers. There is a kang in the room, so it is warm. You can take a bath and have a good rest later. By the way, the spare ribs you specially stewed in advance today..."
Fang's mother was a little incoherent, fearing that Tracy would look down on her family for being poor. After all, the girl was wearing high-end clothes. Although her family had saved some money in the past two years, her dress did not seem like that of a poor family. She must not look down on her virtue.
What was Tracy thinking at this moment?
She looked around the house. The decoration here was very avant-garde, which was beyond her expectations.
In her opinion, Fang Deli's family were all peasants, and she thought their old house would be a shabby old house. However, she did not expect that from the moment she entered the courtyard, she would find simplicity and elegance everywhere, which really did not look like something that a group of old-fashioned people could tinker with.
Although the second sister-in-law in front of her was still dressed very rustically, fortunately the decoration of their house was very stylish, which surprised Tracy very much. Thinking of the money Fang Deli had earned over the years, she suddenly felt that maybe this Fang family really had something special.
Thinking about the future, Tracy put away the disdain on her face, enthusiastically took Fang's mother's hand and sat over.
"Sister-in-law, you are being too polite. Am I that kind of person? This is fine. I am very satisfied. Sorry for the trouble, sister-in-law."
Fang Qing, who was standing by and worried, never expected that Tracy, who had been at odds with her all the way, would be so kind to her mother. But as long as the family was harmonious, she would not care about other things.
Inside the house, Old Mrs. Fang heard the noise outside and hurriedly got downstairs with her crutches.
"Hey, who's here?"
Old Mrs. Fang squinted her eyes and looked at the three people in the living room. She recognized her eldest son at a glance, and a smile immediately appeared on her wrinkled face.
"Deli, when did you come back? Oh, why haven't you come back to see me for so long..."
Holding her son's hand, Old Mrs. Fang was excited and excited. She pulled her son to sit on the sofa and began to ask about his well-being.
"Mom, I'm busy with work outside, so I came back to see you..."
Fang Deli replied a few words and quickly pulled his wife over, "Mom, this is my wife, Tracy. We came back this time to hold our wedding."
Looking at the beautiful girl next to her son, Old Mrs. Fang squinted her eyes and looked her up and down for a long time, and the wrinkles on her face slowly smoothed out.
"Oh, this girl is really pretty. How old is she this year? Where is she from?"
Tracy looked at Old Lady Fang who was holding her wrist. Although she was smiling, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes. She slowly broke free from Old Lady Fang's hand and then answered.
"Auntie, my name is Cui Xi, and I'm 29 years old."
Old Mrs. Fang didn't hear clearly, so she tilted her ear and asked again, "What's it called, blowing and washing? Oh, this name is weird..."
Seeing that Tracy's smile was about to fade, Fang Deli hurried to help his wife out, "Oh, Mom! What do you mean by blowing and washing? She has a foreign name, Tracy."
The old lady didn't understand, "Isn't that the same as what I said? Is it both blowing and washing?"
Seeing that Mrs. Fang was getting serious again, his parents quickly interrupted him and said, "Mom, they are very tired after sitting in the car all day. Let them take a shower and rest early. We can talk tomorrow if we have anything to say."
Mrs. Fang then let the three of them go to rest, but then she turned around and pulled Fang's mother aside and told her, "Chunxia, go buy some spare ribs tomorrow. Deli loves sweet and sour spare ribs the most. Make more for him and buy some fruit. Don't be stingy. If you don't have money, I still have some for you to take. This is the first time Deli brings a girl home, and you can't let him lose face..."
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Fang's mother did not dare to refute and helped the old lady back to her own little house.
After Fang Qing and his group washed up, they had a delicious meal in the small restaurant before returning to their rooms to rest.
Fang Qing took a shower, dried his hair, and came out to help his mother clean the house. After cleaning the kitchen, he went to see his mother. He was a little puzzled when he saw her still tinkering with food.
"Mom, it's already 9 o'clock, why are you still cooking?"
Mother Fang sighed, her hands moving non-stop, "This is for your grandma. Ever since he was hospitalized for surgery last time, my health has not been as good as before, and my appetite has become more picky than before. He no longer drinks millet porridge or rice porridge. I have to check the menu every day and make him something new to eat so that he can barely eat a few bites. Otherwise, he won't eat. Once he loses weight, your aunt will come to our house and make a scene, saying that I'm abusing your grandma..."
Speaking of his great aunt, Fang Qing sighed.
During the two years when she was in college, the county laid off cadres, and my aunt was very lucky to be among those being laid off.
My aunt, who lost her job, had nothing to do all day, either going from house to house. But after a long time, she had no income, and the whole family depended on my uncle to support them. My uncle and his wife would often fight over this matter.
Fang Qing's father was kind enough to find her a job, but she either complained about the tiredness or the low salary, and was fired after working for a short time.
In the end, I don’t know what she was thinking, but she suddenly set her eyes on Old Mrs. Fang again.
