Chapter 209 The wind in June blows the hidden heartstrings
Every weekend, the courtyard under Shijingshan is always busy.
Especially the Fang family, because most of the children have already started their own families, they don’t come to their parents’ house for dinner very often.
Weekends are especially important.
While cooking, Meng Fanjin chatted with her eldest daughter who came running over with two large carps from the reservoir.
Meng Fanjin was quite satisfied with her eldest daughter. After all, she married into a family of equal status, so she would have no problem with food and clothing.
Although he is not so active at work, he is still ambitious. Although the eldest son-in-law is a little frivolous, overall, he knows her inside out.
At least I can live with peace of mind.
"Look at you, Wenhui caught two big carps, why did you take them all here?"
"You should have sent one to your mother-in-law's house and kept one for us, but you brought both directly."
"How does Wenhui look at you?"
Hearing this, Fang Yuning said, "He can look at it however he wants."
"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Looking at her eldest daughter's nonchalant look, Meng Fanjin shook her head.
"Mom, who's coming back for dinner today?" Fang Yuning didn't want to argue with her mother over the two fish, so she changed the subject.
Meng Fanjin said: "In addition to your brother's family, there are also your sister and Xiao Cheng."
Hearing that Cheng Xuyuan was coming, Fang Yuning raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, this little Cheng is quite courageous!"
"He knew my dad had a problem with him, but he still dared to deliver the goods to my door."
"Hey, I want to see if he can have a meal today."
Although she thought Cheng Xuyuan was a good guy, Fang Yuning still felt a little uncomfortable because this guy was still in a relationship with her sister.
If you feel awkward, you will naturally be in a bad mood.
Meng Fanjin smiled and said, "It's not that Cheng Xuyuan is brave, it's your father who invited him."
"Your dad has been a little crazy these days."
"Ever since he and Xiao Cheng were talking about something like future electronic warfare, he's been talking about this with everyone every day."
"I resisted letting Xiao Cheng come last week, but this week I finally couldn't hold it back any longer!"
Listening to her mother's words, Fang Yuning was speechless.
She suddenly thought of something and said, "Mom, I heard from Wenhui that Xiao Cheng seems to have made a fortune recently!"
"Not only did his fee for his work 'Those Things About the Ming Dynasty' rise to 15 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words, but the people there even specifically asked for a policy to exchange his Hong Kong dollars for overseas remittance coupons."
"I heard from Wenhui that he has 600 yuan in remittance vouchers every month!"
Six hundred yuan in remittance vouchers, this is not a small amount! Meng Fanjin was a little surprised and asked, "Really?"
"Mom, how can I lie to you about this?" Fang Yuning said, "He also asked Wenhui to help him exchange 200 yuan of overseas remittance coupons for national food coupons!"
Meng Fanjin asked: "What did he exchange the national food coupons for?"
"I heard that it was exchanged for his family." Fang Yuning said uncertainly.
Meng Fanjin said: "So, Xiao Cheng is actually a filial and sensible child."
Fang Yuning hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, do you think Cheng Xuyuan and his wife will stay together?"
"I've seen her daughter-in-law. She looks just as good as Yuqing, and she has a good temperament, too."
"I went out to hang out with some friends a few days ago, and a friend who works at the Cultural Association said that the higher-ups wanted to stop Cheng Xuyuan from doing evil things."
Meng Fanjin understood what it meant to do less evil.
She was a little worried and said, "We can't just guess about this kind of thing. Let's ask Cheng Xuyuan himself."
"To be honest, Xiao Cheng is a good person, but I'm afraid he won't be able to get a divorce in a short period of time."
Time passed bit by bit as the mother and daughter talked.
The dishes in the kitchen were prepared one after another, and more and more people came back.
Fang Gengsheng came back very early that day. After he came back, he sat in the living room, reading a newspaper, so that Fang Yuanfeng and Qin Wenhui who came later did not dare to speak loudly.
At half past six in the evening, the door was opened again and Fang Yuqing walked in with two books in her hands.
Seeing Fang Yuqing closing the door, Fang Yuanfeng's expression froze.
He knew that his father had invited Cheng Xuyuan to dinner at home, but he didn't expect his sister to come back by herself. So where is Xiao Cheng...
Just when he was feeling unhappy, Fang Gengsheng put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Yuqing, did you come here by yourself?"
Fang Yuqing glanced at her father, smiled softly and said, "Dad, I rode here by myself."
As she spoke, she shouted towards the kitchen: "Mom, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good. I'm almost starving!"
Looking at his daughter walking towards the kitchen, Fang Gengsheng's face darkened.
Fang Yuanfeng, who knew what his father was thinking, said, "Didn't Dad tell you to invite Cheng Xuyuan to come home for dinner?"
"Why doesn't he come?"
Fang Yuqing said: "Brother, Xuyuan is afraid that our father will give him a Hongmen Banquet, so..."
"What? Are you too scared to come? With such little courage, you still want to be my son-in-law? Humph!" Fang Gengsheng couldn't help but put down the newspaper and said with dissatisfaction.
Fang Yuqing said, "Dad, from what you said, if Xuyuan comes, will you agree to our relationship?"
"I didn't say that!" Fang Gengsheng said, "But now, he doesn't even dare to come to your house for dinner, so he doesn't deserve to be associated with you anymore!"
As soon as Fang Gengsheng finished his resentful words, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Qin Wenhui went over and opened the door, and saw Cheng Xuyuan standing at the door with a smile on his face and two bottles of wine in his hands.
As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Uncle Fang, I went around and didn't buy anything good, so I just got two bottles of wine. Please don't mind."
Looking at the wine that Cheng Xuyuan handed over, Fang Gengsheng snorted and said, "Put it there."
"I'm telling you, don't think you can spend money lavishly just because you've made money."
"Don't be like Yuanfeng, always living beyond his means."
Fang Yuanfeng didn't expect that he was really an innocent victim.
Dad, it's normal for you to give Cheng Xuyuan a warning, but why do you have to drag me into this?
Cheng Xuyuan responded with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Fang for your concern. I will pay attention to it in the future."
"I'm not concerned about you! I'm just afraid that you'll run out of money and come back to ask for the things you gave me back!" Fang Gengsheng said this and said in a deep voice, "Come with me to the study. I have something to tell you."
In the Fang family, being called into the study by Fang Gengsheng was basically not a good thing, especially being called into the study alone.
Although Qin Wenhui and Cheng Xuyuan were of the same kind, at this moment, he could only give him a helpless look and express his sympathy.
As for Fang Yuanfeng, there is no need to mention it.
Fang Yuqing was just about to speak when Meng Fanjin came out and said, "Yuqing, come and help me cook."
Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment, but still did not move.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Yuqing, help Auntie cook. I just happened to have something to report to Uncle."
Fang Yuqing then walked towards the kitchen somewhat reluctantly.
Cheng Xuyuan came to Fang Gengsheng's study and took a casual look around. He found that this study, which he had visited several times, now had a lot more books than before.
And there are quite a few maps.
"How dare you come to my study alone, Cheng Xuyuan, you are quite courageous!" Fang Gengsheng said, "If I hadn't promised Yuqing, I would have dragged you to practice boxing and kicking."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Fang, with my skills, how dare I practice boxing with you?"
"Besides, I'm still a little timid. Once I'm scared, everything else is fine except my brain won't work properly!"
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan, who looked like he was timid, Fang Gengsheng asked seriously, "What are you going to do if the higher-ups still don't agree to your divorce?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Uncle Fang, I heard that in addition to the college entrance examination, the higher authorities will also send students abroad. Then Yuqing and I can also apply to study abroad."
Cheng Xuyuan's answer sounded a bit evasive, but Fang Gengsheng understood what he meant, which was that if this side does not agree with us, then we will leave.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's determined expression, he took a breath and said, "Xiao Cheng, let's talk about this later. The key issue for you now is to study hard."
"By the way, the small drone you mentioned last time, is this thing really possible..."
Looking at Fang Gengsheng's serious expression, Cheng Xuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this question requires some thinking, it is better than the previous one.
The two chatted for more than half an hour before going to the living room to eat at Fang Yuqing's urging.
The fragrant food made Cheng Xuyuan feel very hungry, but of course he couldn't pick up his chopsticks first here.
Fang Gengsheng seemed to be still immersed in the topic that Cheng Xuyuan had just talked about. Therefore, at the dinner table, apart from eating, he was thinking about things silently, so that in the end Meng Fanjin began to dominate the topic of dinner.
"Xiao Cheng, I heard that the newspaper in Hong Kong wants you to write "Things about the Ming Dynasty" with 120,000 words in one month. Can you do it?" Meng Fanjin asked with concern.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Aunt Meng, although 120,000 words are not a lot, it is not too difficult for me."
Meng Fanjin said: "That's fine, but you will be stuck with this matter for a while."
"Xiao Cheng, I think that although "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is good, it would be a pity if you gave up other creations because of it."
Before Cheng Xuyuan could speak, Fang Yuqing spoke up: "Mom, Xuyuan didn't stop writing novels because of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"."
"On the contrary, his new novel will be published in the newly published October in two days."
Although Fang Yuning was a little dissatisfied with Cheng Xuyuan's marriage, she was also an educated youth.
Whether it is "The Pursuit of Happyness" or "Desire", she loves watching them and gave them high praise.
When she heard that Cheng Xuyuan was going to publish a new novel, she couldn't help but ask, "What novel?"
"It's a spy novel called "The Hidden Corner". I think it's really good." Fang Yuqing said proudly.
Fang Yuanfeng, who was thinking about something, suddenly raised his head. He glanced at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "What? You're still writing spy novels?"
"I think you should just stick to writing what you are good at. If you don't write well, you will be easily criticized for this kind of spy novel."
Fang Yuqing wanted to argue, but Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, but the magazine has already printed it. Even if you want to take it back, you can't get it back."
"I can only leave it to fate as to how successful my novel will be!"
