Fisherman's Secret

This year's Spring Festival is a bit strange. During the second day of junior high school, the temperature dropped sharply, the cold winter rain continued to fall, and it snowed heavily in the afternoon.

The latitude where Dongzhuang is located rarely snows, let alone when the Spring Festival is approaching and the beginning of spring is approaching.

"It's snowing so much!" Father Fang sighed as he stood under the eaves and looked at the snowflakes, with his hands in his sleeves.

The tip of Fang Jing's nose was red from the cold, and he jumped on the spot: "I always feel that the snow is falling a bit abnormally."

"Since when did you become a weather expert?" Father Fang teased with a smile.

Fang Jing snorted and stopped talking.

"Where is Xiao Chen?" Fang's father always felt that the number of people in the family was wrong, but most of the time he didn't pay attention to it. He would suddenly think of it when he saw Fang Jing, because Fang Jing and Cen Jiu had always been close to each other. The relationship between the two is so good that Father Fang thinks of Cen Jiu whenever he sees Fang Jing.

"Let's go to practice." Fang Jing breathed into his palms and said, "Dad, it's too cold outside, let's go in."

Fang's mother burned a big tree bag in the main room, and the room was warm.If you want to blow cold wind outside when there is a fire, you are not playing a hero, you are a fool.

Fang Jing felt that he was actually quite smart, not stupid at all, and of course he didn't want to endure the cold wind outside.

"Go in, I'll stand for a while." Father Fang has been very obsessed with standing since he regained his "legs", as if he wanted to make up for what he lacked in the past few years.If it wasn't for the doctor's advice to pay attention to rest and not to be too tired, Father Fang probably would rather stand all day long.

For normal food, clothing and walking, an ordinary person with sound limbs may not understand how lucky this is. Only those who have lost it will understand how rare these normal things are in the eyes of ordinary people.

Fang Jing didn't say anything else, just shrank his neck and stood silently with Fang's father under the eaves. Fang's father squinted his eyes and looked at the snowflakes falling in front of him. After a while, he turned his head to look at Fang Jing and asked: " You really decided not to go to work in the future, but to salvage that sunken ship?"

"Yeah." It was too cold, Fang Jing stomped his feet and replied, "I was born by the sea and grew up by the sea. When I grow up, I also want to engage in work related to the ocean. This kind of closeness to the ocean has been carved into my bones. Here, become a part of me, even if you cut it, you can't cut it off."

He stretched out his hand and took a falling snowflake. When the snowflake touched the temperature of the human body, it melted immediately, leaving only a cold touch.

"About me, like you, I am a fisherman who is close to the ocean. I was born to belong to this ocean. I know this job is dangerous. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is precarious. The only thing I can guarantee is that I will try my best to pay attention to it in the future." careful."

"This is my destiny." He looked at Papa Fang with firmness in his eyes, "I hope you can understand me."

He has made up his mind, and of course he won't change it easily, but if he can get the understanding and support of his family, that's of course the best. If Fang's father and Fang's mother really can't understand, then there's nothing they can do.

As Fang Jing continued to speak, Father Fang's originally straight back slowly bent down bit by bit, and it seemed that all the energy was gradually dissipated because of Fang Jing's words.

The two father and son stood under the eaves for a long time, so long that Fang Jing couldn't help but sneezed, and when he was about to lift his feet to go back to the house, he heard Father Fang's muffled voice.

"You are already so old, you have your own ideas in everything, a man, just do what you want, but no matter what you do, think about your mother, think about your brother, think about this family, just take good care of yourself .

Fang Jing paused, and wanted to say something, but his throat was dry and astringent, and it took him a long time to utter a sentence with difficulty.

"Dad, thank you."

In the room, because he was worried that Fang Jing would be afraid of the cold, Cen Jiu, who was about to send Fang Jing with a coat in his hand, took back his foot that had already stepped out of the threshold, and a faint gleam slowly appeared on his indifferent face. smile.

His boyfriend has a good dad!

Just like Ying Shiba, who is obviously just a hidden guard who has nothing, but still picked him up when he was discarded, and tried his best to take care of him carefully, he is a good father.

On the fourth day of junior high school, some unexpected guests came to the Fang family.

After Fang's father's accident, Fang Ershu and his wife, who had seldom moved around these years, took their son back to the old house, calling it a visit to Fang's father.

This is really strange!

Fang Jing's first thought was that his second uncle's family was going to have some kind of moth.

"Brother, sister-in-law, happy new year." Before reaching the gate of the courtyard, Second Uncle Fang's voice came in, his tone as affectionate as if he had a deep relationship with Father Fang, the elder brother.

When Fang Jingzheng and Cen Jiu came back from outside, he annoyed the Second Uncle Fang's family and shouted impatiently: "Dad, there are guests."

After shouting, he didn't even bother to say hello, he dragged Cen Jiu into the yard.

When Mother Fang heard the voice, she thought it was someone coming, and ran out happily. When she saw that it was Fang's second uncle's family, her face immediately became long, and she responded calmly: "So it's his second uncle." coming."

"Happy New Year, sister-in-law. Binbin and I are here to wish you New Year's greetings." Second Uncle Fang didn't seem to notice the indifference of Fang Jing's family, and smiled very affectionately. "By the way, where is eldest brother? Are you at home?"

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person with your hand, and if it's the New Year's Eve, Mother Fang doesn't bother to get angry with the ungrateful villain of this family. After all, he is also Lao Fang's brother!

"He's over there at the pier. I'll call him. You can sit in the room first." Mother Fang greeted her, and then winked at Fang Xiaole.

Fang Xiaole understood in seconds.

His father and mother came back from the United States and brought a lot of good things, and sister Xin also bought a lot of gifts. After returning, he gave some of them to some old friends, and piled up a lot of them at home. He didn't want them. Let the second uncle see.

Moreover, there are a lot of porcelains that his brother salvaged in the house. Although the valuable ones were sent to the auction by his brother's teacher, the ones at home are not too expensive, but I heard that one piece can sell for tens of thousands!

He had to keep a close eye on his second uncle's family, and he must not let them touch it by hand.

Second Uncle Fang didn't know that his little nephew regarded him as a thief, but felt that Fang Xiaole was very considerate in front of and behind him. You must know that he brought a lot of gifts today, and two of them were sent by Director Jiang's family. You bastard, where have you ever seen such a high-end thing.

In fact, Fang Xiaole really thought too much.

Because there are many people living in the family, the rooms are basically their own private spaces. In order to avoid suspicion, Fang’s mother said that during the New Year, there are many people coming and going. As long as no one is there, several rooms are locked. Only the kitchen and The main room was wide open, and unless Second Uncle Fang looked at the cured goods hanging from the beam above, there was really nothing to take away.

A big old tree root was burning in the corner of the main room. The room was warm, and there would inevitably be a lot of ashes.

Second Aunt Fang frowned, carefully holding the hem of her coat, and sat away from the fire.

"Why are you still burning this? Why don't you install an air conditioner? It doesn't use a few kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. It's clean and comfortable." Aunt Fang kept complaining. Her coat was only bought this winter, and it cost more than 3000 yuan!If you accidentally get splashed by spark foam or something, you really don’t even have a place to cry, and you think that you are a countryman, and you can’t even turn on the air conditioner in winter, and you have to burn this kind of old tree roots. warm.

"You have to cook this during the Chinese New Year, so that there is atmosphere." Fang Jing didn't bother to talk to her, went into the kitchen to boil a pot of boiling water, made tea for Uncle Fang's family of three, and sat by the fire with Cen Jiu to browse Taobao.

Since learning to use computers and mobile phones to surf the Internet, Cen Jiu's enthusiasm for online shopping has increased, and sometimes he can spend half a day shopping without buying anything.

For Cen Jiu's little hobbies, Fang Jing is usually very indulgent. When he is free like this, he will even accompany Cen Jiu to brush together, and when he sees something he likes, he will help Cen Jiu buy it.

Fang Bin only glanced at it, then pursed his mouth in disdain.

He always only goes to the mall to buy licensed goods, Taobao and so on are only shopped by those who have no money and want to get cheap.

"Xiao Jing, I bought something for your dad, you can put it away." Second Uncle Fang held the gift box in his hand and stood for a while, before telling Fang Jing in a ostentatious tone. take it.

Fang Jing took it, and put it on the wall without any hassle - there are too many people visiting each other these days, and it is not good for everyone to come to the door empty-handed for the Chinese New Year. They will bring some gifts at least, a bag of Wangwang, a bag of fruit , a pair of wine, a few packs of cigarettes, etc. There are too many to fit on the table, and the rest of Fang's mother is piled in the corner, planning to tidy up when the sky is empty.

The corners of Uncle Fang's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but reminded: "I bought some supplements for your parents and a good cigarette, please put it away carefully, so as not to be misled."

When he entered, he saw two new men in the Fang family.

Fang Jingzhen got up and looked through it, and found out that cigarette, it was indeed a good brand, quite expensive.

Just when Xiao Ze came out, Fang Jing threw the cigarette to Xiao Ze casually: "Here, Second Uncle brought it here, let's smoke it together."

As soon as Xiao Ze grabbed it, he grabbed the cigarette in his hand, pinched it under his arm, and went out without raising his eyebrows.

Get together and smoke...

together with...

make up...

Do you know how much this pack of cigarettes cost?He can't buy one with his salary of working in the museum for a month.

Second Uncle Fang couldn't figure out whether Fang Jing had a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man, or whether he was really rich and had seen too many good things, and he didn't pay attention to ordinary things. When he was about to speak, he heard a strange sound from the yard, followed by Father Fang's resonant voice.

"Zhengchun is here as soon as it comes, you can just say hello, why drag me here, I'm busy!" Fang's father is free and doing maintenance for Alicia, and his stomach is full when Fang's mother calls him back unhappy.

"There are guests at home, what do you say that you, the head of the family, don't look like you anymore." Mother Fang said politely, but she was actually too lazy to entertain the hypocritical and ruthless Second Uncle Fang's family.

She has seen through the behavior of Uncle Fang's family, and she doesn't even bother to maintain the superficial relationship. She even felt a little resentful because of this other father, so she directly called Father Fang back, and asked Father Fang to greet his brother who is a white-eyed wolf.

Father Fang came in with a toolbox in his hand, and saw Second Uncle Fang greet him lightly, "Here we are."

Not wanting Second Uncle Fang to say anything, he said, "Since we're here, let's go back after lunch."

No matter what Second Uncle Fang thought after speaking, he turned around and went back to the pier to continue working.

Second Uncle Fang's eyeballs almost fell out.

"Big brother...your leg..." He knew that Papa Fang was wearing a prosthetic, but he thought it was a common prosthetic for decoration. He, at a glance, knew that he was very tall.

"Oh, what are you talking about? Xiao Jing saw that I have trouble walking, so I had to go to the United States to install it, but it was only 80 yuan." Father Fang waved his hand indifferently, and walked out again with the toolbox.

After decades of ups and downs in his life, he has long seen that everything is fake, only his family is real, and he has done his best to this brother, and he has no affection for him.From now on, every penny he earns will be reserved for his wife and son, and the brother of Baiyanlang will stand aside.

Father Fang walked very gracefully, but he didn't expect Second Uncle Fang behind him to have a shocked expression on his face.

Only 80? !

Even when the Fang family was the richest, 80 was a huge sum, okay?Of course, money at that time was worth much more than it is now.

So the rumor is true, Fang Jingzhen made a lot of money, sent his younger brother to study in the United States, and could afford to spend so much money to send Father Fang to the United States just to install a prosthetic limb.

Second Uncle Fang's eyes flashed brightly, he didn't say anything, he observed silently all morning, until after lunch, Second Uncle Fang hesitantly explained the purpose of his visit.

"Binbin had a girlfriend two years ago, and she was the daughter of Director Jiang of Civil Engineering. I think Binbin is not young anymore, and Yiyao's child is also pretty good. The most important thing is that he treats Binbin well, so I plan to deal with them as soon as possible.”

The Fang family knew about Fang Bin talking about his girlfriend, and Fang's father didn't think too much about it, so he said, "This is a happy event, have you set a date yet?"

Mentioning this, Second Uncle Fang had a sad expression on his face: "It was originally scheduled for May Day, but now I think it will be postponed again."

"what happened?"

Second Uncle Fang waited for him to ask, and immediately poured bitter water on Father Fang and kept talking, "You don't know how difficult it is to marry a daughter-in-law now. There is no house or car, and no girl is willing to marry. The Jiang family As I said before, if the two get married, their family will marry a car, and our family will prepare a new house."

"You also know that our family only has an old house. If Yiyao is willing, his mother and I are willing to move out and rent the house to make room for Binbin to build a new house, but Miss Ren is not happy and wants to live in a new house. The first two months My mother and I went to see several real estate projects. The current housing prices are really incredible. Houses that are far away cost seven to eight thousand square meters, and those with a slightly better location cost tens of thousands. Two to three million, my mother and I have worked hard all our lives, and we can’t even afford a decent house.”

Fang's father was silent and did not speak. In the kitchen, Fang's mother moved a little more to clean up the dishes, and heard a loud noise, as if a bowl had been broken.

Second Uncle Fang looked at Father Fang's face, and tentatively said, "Brother, I can't help it. Binbin is also your nephew, no different from your own. I just thought that if you have enough money, Or just help Binji, he is a good boy and will be filial to you in the future."

Fang Jing: "..."

Lying on the grass, he knew that his second uncle's family would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and they still came to borrow money after doing it for a long time!
