Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Family (Part 2)
Ning Helan put the coffee ordered for Fang Hui into the refrigerator, and curled up on the sofa with a bunch of snacks, planning to start a happy home life. As
soon as he picked up the PS5 console and turned it on, his mind recalled the dream in which his parents said that their feet could not move.
Why not go back to his hometown first... It has been a long time since he went back.
He thought about it and put down the console controller again.
As for Fang Hui, he went out for a stroll.
It was rare to gain so much Yin De, and the weather was still cool today, so he went out for a stroll after cleaning the balcony for Ji Ge.
It was almost impossible to ask him to go out for a stroll in the morning before. When school started, he was in class at this time, and when he was on vacation, he was sleeping at this time.
He refused to go when his elder brother and sister called him for a morning run, and he refused to go when his grandfather called him for morning exercises. He had almost no chance to see the morning sun.
He saw the flowers and green grass in the flowerbed under the corridor, and when he saw the dew on the leaves and petals, he even felt curious. He had only seen this in the Chinese textbook in elementary school.
The dew on the leaves was like a transparent and mini glass bead, reflecting the morning sun. With a light touch, the dew slid down lightly, leaving a brief coolness on the fingertips. The sliding dewdrops fell down and hit a small ladybug. The ladybug shook its wings, flew to the leaf and stopped. The leaf, which had just lost the weight of the dewdrops, had just bounced back, but was pressed down by the fat little ladybug.
Fang Hui thought it was quite interesting.
At this time, a wheezing sound came from his feet. It was a short-legged little corgi.
The little corgi sniffed at Fang Hui's feet curiously. The one holding it was a fat aunt. When the aunt saw Fang Hui, she smiled and said, "This is the first time that my Meng Meng is interested in a stranger. I'm sorry, I didn't scare you, did I?"
Fang Hui shook his head. He was not afraid of dogs, but he couldn't say he liked them either.
"Are you out for a morning run, little brother?"
"... just a stroll."
"Oh, that's fine. My son always refuses to get up early to walk the dog. The air is so nice this morning, isn't it? Hey, little brother, I think I've seen you before..."
"... Really." Facing the familiar aunt, Fang Hui wanted to run away.
"Oh, you're from Master Ning's family, right?"
"I guess so..."
"Hey, I heard from them that Master Ning has a grandson. Master Ning is so lucky. Both grandsons are so sunny and handsome."
Fang Hui was used to hearing the sweet words of those around him who flattered him. Now he was praised by an aunt he didn't know. Although it was just a polite remark, his heart was ached and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"By the way, did Master Ning go out for a trip?"
"Yes." When Fang Hui woke up in the morning, he saw Ning Guohua packing his luggage. He said that he didn't have enough fun this time. If Ning Helan and Fang Hui hadn't had an accident, he would have stayed in the minority village for a while longer.
"Hey, my family has something I want to ask him to take a look at. I want to demolish the old house and rebuild it, but every time I start to demolish it, there will be accidents... The master I asked always said that it is not suitable to start the construction, but it has been several months. Why is it not the right time..." Auntie found that she seemed to have gone off topic, so she smiled, "Hey, where is Xiao Ning? Is he free?"
Fang recalled that Ning Helan was sleeping so soundly, and estimated that he was not free.
"Hey, it doesn't matter if you don't have time. I'll ask him when I meet him one day." The aunt didn't wait for Fang Hui to answer and continued to talk to herself, "Little brother, I'm leaving first. The sun will be too strong later. My daughter Mengmeng is afraid of the heat. You don't have to walk around, lest you get heat stroke. My husband went to the park in the morning and came back too late and got heat stroke..."
Fang Hui waved to the aunt. This aunt is also quite interesting.
He stood up and looked around the community. The grandfathers and grandmothers were divided into several small groups, doing morning radio gymnastics. Some people were riding bicycles on the track, and some were jogging in the morning. It looked harmonious.
Fang Hui took a deep breath: "The air is so fresh."
Fang Hui walked around the community, but he felt that it was not enough, so he came to the street.
It was still early, and it was summer vacation. Apart from some office workers who needed to get up early and sanitation workers, there were few people on the street.
The row of green shades on the street looked even greener and more lush in the morning light. Occasionally, a breeze blew by, bringing the freshness of flowers and plants, which was refreshing.
The breakfast shop started to get busy early, with curls of smoke rising from the steamer. There were already many people sitting in the noodle shop, and the aroma of breakfast could be smelled from far away.
Fang Hui stood in front of a steamed bun shop, looking at a basket of freshly steamed buns. The chewy flour became round buns after fermentation and steaming. When he broke them open and took a bite, the fragrance overflowed and the juice flowed.
Why not buy a bun?
Fang Hui thought about it, reached into his pocket for his phone, and then suddenly realized that he would have neither money nor a phone after he died.
He lowered his head and suddenly laughed at himself.
Forget it, let's go to the park next door.
There were many people doing morning exercises in the park, and morning joggers would run past Fang Hui from time to time, full of energy and vitality.
He looked at the egrets in the lake next to him, leaning on the railing and staring at the shimmering lake in a trance.
"Excuse me, please make way." A crisp female voice rang out.
Fang Hui stepped to the side after hearing it, and when the girl ran past him from behind, he suddenly turned around as if he had sensed it.
In front of him was a pretty figure with her hair tied in a low ponytail.
This figure... who is this person... who is this person!
"Sister! Sister! Sister——!"
The woman seemed to hear someone calling her, so she turned around to look. People coming and going behind her were also jogging in the morning, and no one's eyes were on her.
She couldn't stop while running, so she thought she had misheard and continued running.
Not far behind her, Fang Hui hid behind a bench on the side of the road. His heart was about to jump out, and he covered his mouth desperately to stop himself from making any sound.
This woman was his sister Fang Yi.
When he saw his biological sister, he almost rushed up to hug her, he really missed her.
But he couldn't do it, he knew that his current appearance was not Fang Hui's, and he would definitely scare his sister if he suddenly appeared.
...No, even if it was my original appearance, it would definitely scare my sister.
After thinking about it, Fang Hui didn't dare to shout anymore. He poked his head out from behind the bench and looked at Fang Yi who was running farther and farther away.
"Sister..." Fang Hui's eyes were red.
Fang Yi used to go to the nearby 24-hour gym to take a shower after running, and then go to work.
Today, after taking a shower, she did not drive to work, but drove back to where Fang Cheng lived.
Later, Fang Hui learned that his brother and sister, who originally lived outside, lived at home to accompany their father Fang after he was gone.
Fang Hui still crawled into the dog hole that he had crawled through when he was a child.
When he reached the outside of his own Fang's house, Fang Hui hid in the flowerbed and peeked inside.
Fang Cheng looked pretty good today, and was now sitting in the garden downstairs basking in the sun.
Fang Hui saw his brother Fang Yu coming out with breakfast.
It was his father's favorite steamed chicken and egg custard, and it was also his favorite.
"Dad, try what I steamed today, isn't it perfect?" Fang Yu said with a smile.
Fang Cheng glanced at the smooth and delicate yellow egg custard in the bowl and smiled faintly: "Hey, you know what, your cooking skills have improved in the past two days."
Fang Yu put down the bowl and handed the soup spoon to Fang Cheng: "Of course, it's better than Xiaoyi's, right?"
Fang Cheng took a sip: "Well, there is improvement, but Xiaoyi's is the best, Xiaohui used to like it the most..."
At this point, Fang Cheng suddenly stopped the topic, he suppressed his sad mood and ate two more bites: "Xiaoyi hasn't come back from his morning run yet?"
"I'm back, Dad." As he was talking, Fang Yi came out with a bag of grapes, "I saw that the grapes at the door were very good, so I bought some."
Fang Hui shrank back and continued to look at the people sitting and chatting.
The three of them chatted and ate breakfast, and they seemed to be in a relaxed mood.
But Fang Hui noticed that Fang Cheng's eyes were red: "Dad was sad again last night..."
He was in a really bad mood now...
When he was about to finish eating, Fang Cheng suddenly thought of something: "By the way, remember to visit your mother's grave. I dreamed of her yesterday."
"I went there last month." Fang Yi said, "Dad, you don't have to worry."
"When was last month? Why didn't you call me?" Fang Yu looked at Fang Yi.
Fang Yi rolled his eyes at him: "How dare you blame me? Did I call you? What did you say you were doing at that time?"
Fang Yu was stunned: "What was I doing?... Oh, no, wasn't I on a business trip abroad at that time? Wouldn't you be back when I came back?"
Fang Cheng smiled: "Well, it doesn't matter who goes, but Xiaoyi, if you go this time, remember... remember..."
Fang Cheng suddenly choked up, he looked at Fang Yi, his eyes gradually reddened.
Fang Yi stroked Fang Cheng's arm with understanding: "Dad, don't worry, I will tell Mom that Xiaohui will go to see her as well."
Fang Cheng nodded, Fang Yu said: "Since you said that, I don't have anything to do today, why don't we go and see her later?"
"If we all go, who will take care of Dad?" Fang Yi gave Fang Yu a look.
Fang Cheng waved his hands: "Hey, I'm not a vegetable, I can take care of myself."
Seeing the two children looking at him, Fang Cheng stood up and walked back and forth a few steps: "I'm fine, you see, I can not only walk, but also jump... I can climb over the wall..."
Seeing that Fang Cheng was really going to climb over the wall, Fang Yi and Fang Yu were so scared that they hurried to pull him.
"Dad, what are you doing!"
"Dad, get down quickly!"
Fang Cheng jumped up and his upper body really climbed onto the wall, which scared the two children.
Fang Yu was tall and strong, and he put his hands through Fang Cheng's shoulders and pulled him down.
"Dad, you're such a fool. Isn't it enough that we trust you?" Fang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're not a three-year-old anymore. Why are you climbing a wall..."
At this point, Fang Yu looked at the wall for a few more times. There was a hole blocked by bricks in the corner of the wall. When Fang Hui was a child, he would climb in from here when he came back late from playing. Of course, he couldn't avoid being scolded.
Fang Yi patted the dust off Fang Cheng's body, but saw Fang Cheng staring blankly outside the wall: "Dad? Dad?"
Fang Cheng frowned slightly: "I seemed to see someone outside our wall just now."
Fang Yi glanced outside: "No, Dad, did you see it wrong?"
Fang Cheng was also confused. He just saw a figure outside in a flash. After Fang Yi asked him this, he was a little unsure.
"The sun is out now. There are shadows outside the wall. It's normal that Dad is mistaken." Fang Yu said, and helped Fang Cheng back to the room. Fang
Cheng was not mistaken just now. Fang Hui was indeed hiding in the shadow outside. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and buried himself in the flowerbed. The bushes covered him tightly.
He almost jumped out of his heart just now. After hearing the three people leave, Fang Hui stood up from the flowerbed with leaves all over his body.
Then he had a face-to-face encounter with the patrolling security guard.
"Who is it?!" The security guard put one hand on his baton and stared at him vigilantly.
"...No one." Fang Hui raised his hands and walked out of the flowerbed.
"Don't move!" The security guard looked at him carefully, as if he was familiar, "Have I seen you somewhere before..."
Fang recalled that this was the same security guard he had seen the last time he and Ning Helan came here.
So he brushed off the leaves on his body and straightened his clothes: "I'm the one, who is that?"
"Who?"
"That who is that, you've seen him before."
