They haven't reached retirement age yet, and even if they do, they don't plan to live together. Their sons have grown up, and now they're finally retired, so why should they enjoy a leisurely life? Why do they have to live together with their sons and daughters-in-law?
People say that things that are far away smell good, but things that are close smell bad, so there should be a certain distance between family members.
"That room only has a bed frame, a wardrobe, a table, and nothing else. We need to get some furniture and let Comrade Fu Xiangbei move in in a few days, right?" Yan Rushan described the situation inside. To be honest, he was already accustomed to having so many people living in his house. If Fu Xiangbei wanted to move in, then he could come and it would not be a big deal.
Fu Xiangbei first looked at his new master, then nodded slowly to indicate that he understood.
Yan Rushan added, "When the time comes, bring two sets of clothes with you, and we'll prepare the rest for you."
"Thank you Master and..." How should I say this?
Yan Guofeng chuckled and said, "Just call me Master."
"Thank you, Master." Fu Xiangbei was quick-witted. Yan Guofeng reminded him and he turned the corner. "Grandpa Yan, thank you."
"Why thank me? It was your master who taught you, not me. In the future, just follow your master and learn two or three percent of his skills, which will be enough for you to use." Not expecting Fu Xiangbei to learn everything, the eldest grandson's wife had never tried her best and had been reserving her strength.
Don't think that he doesn't know because he doesn't understand this business. He knows it very well.
After all, he has been in a high position for many years, so he has the ability to judge people; what's more, he has been living with his eldest grandson's wife day and night for several years, so how could he not know what kind of temper she has?
Fu Xiangbei smiled and said, "I have to thank you all. Thank you, Master, for letting me stay here. Thank you, Grandfather, for taking care of me. Thank you, Grandpa Yan, for your guidance."
"You are such a sweet-talker, keep it up."
"Okay." After receiving the master's affirmative words, Fu Xiangbei decided to be even sweeter in the future. "Master, when do you say we should have the wedding banquet? I'll go back and tell my grandfather."
Zhong Yuxiu pondered for a moment, and seeing the anxiety in Fu Xiangbei's eyes, she didn't intend to keep him in suspense; what was the point in making a child live in fear?
"We have to prepare meat and vegetables at home, and also invite guests; so let's schedule it for the day after tomorrow, Grandpa, Rushan, do you think it's feasible?" Do it early and get the job done.
Yan Guofeng nodded. "It's all right. I eat ready-made meals anyway."
"I have no objection. Just tell Comrade Xi Nian and ask him to send the meat and vegetables over." They didn't have to go out to buy them.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded with a smile, "The day after tomorrow then."
"It's settled. I'll call Comrade Xi Nian and ask him to send some more ingredients for the day after tomorrow. They should be delivered to us early in the morning so that we can use them." Since they can't afford to go out, why don't they just set up two tables at home?
Although it is more troublesome to do it at home, it also costs money to do it outside, and it is also troublesome to walk back and forth.
There are many people in my family, so it is not too troublesome to prepare two tables of food, and it is also convenient to clean up after eating.
"Master, I will go back and tell my grandfather, and also tell my parents." Fu Xiangbei said as he was about to go out. The matter of becoming a disciple made him happy but uneasy. He wanted to settle the matter early so that it would be useless even if his master changed his mind.
After all, he was still discouraged by Yan Guofeng.
"No rush, I'll go back tonight." Since I'm already here, why would I have to make another trip? "If your parents can come, that's fine. If they can't, that's fine too. I won't argue."
"They will definitely come." If they don't come, he, as his own son, will not recognize them as his own son, as this is such a big thing for his own son to become his disciple.
No matter how busy you are, you should always keep your son in your heart, right?
His parents were both workaholics, prioritizing their work over their son. He lacked confidence when he spoke. For years, he stayed home alone, eating in the cafeteria after school. After dinner, he did homework and read. As he got older, he began to learn other things. He studied whatever he could get his hands on. His parents didn't put in much effort; his development was entirely up to him.
"Mr. Yan, Comrade Zhong, Comrade Yan, it's time to have breakfast." Wang Daya came out with bowls and chopsticks.
"Wash your hands before eating." Yan Guofeng said, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands first.
Yuxiu looked at Fu Xiangbei and said, "Go wash your hands and sit with your Grandpa Yan."
"Okay, Master." Fu Xiangbei followed the old man's path and found the bathroom. Inside, he saw multiple basins for washing faces and feet, seemingly allocated per person. Everyone used their own, which didn't surprise Fu Xiangbei.
However, this immediately made the originally spacious bathroom feel much smaller. There was a row of iron shelves in the bathroom, some for square towels and some for bath supplies. Then there were the mirror and the sink, both sides of which were covered with shelves. There were five shelves, one full and one half, leaving three empty.
Generally speaking, there are more people living in this house and there are more things; however, the house is more spacious than my grandfather's house, so it only looks a little crowded because of all the things. If they were placed in my grandfather's house, there would be no room to move around.
After quickly washing his hands, Fu Xiangbei walked out of the bathroom and said to the couple on the sofa, "Master, Master, I'm done."
"Go take a seat in the dining room first, we'll be right there."
"good."
Fu Xiangbei went to the restaurant, and Yan Guofeng pointed to the first seat on the right, "Come, come and sit down."
"Okay, Grandpa Yan." He walked forward, pulled out a chair and sat down, acting like a well-behaved child. But he said, "Grandpa Yan, after I become your disciple, should I continue to call you Grandpa Yan, or Old Man?"
Yan Guofeng paused, then placed his hand on the table. "Let's talk about our own affairs. You can still call me the same thing as before."
"I understand, Grandpa Yan. What should I teach the children? Pinyin?"
"You don't need to learn pinyin, your master has already taught you."
Fu Xiangbei was stunned for a moment, "Have you learned everything?"
"Well, they have good memories and can remember everything they are taught once. You have to ask your master about the specific teaching methods." He didn't care. He just knew that his great-grandchildren were very smart. It was true that his eldest grandson's wife was still teaching them to recognize words, but the progress was too fast and he was tired of watching.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Grandpa Yan, for letting me know."
Chatting with Fu Xiangbei, the first few words were awkward; Fu Xiangbei didn't know how to get along with the elderly, and he had very few nice things to say. Yan Guofeng did try to bring up the topic, but he either got sidetracked or the conversation died down.
In the end, Yan Guofeng gave up chatting with him and would rather watch Wang Daya and others serve the dishes one after another.
The breakfast was rich and at least pleasing to the eyes, but chatting with Fu Xiangbei almost killed the topic.
"grandfather."
Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu washed their hands and came over, sat in their old seats, and greeted the old man with a smile.
Yan Guofeng breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally able to get rid of his kid Fu Xiangbei. "You came at the perfect time. Xiaowu was just asking what to teach the children."
