Chapter 16 I will support this family in the future

There is only a small river near the house, and Fang Ming quickly found his father Fang Zhonghua - he saw him sitting on a big rock by the small river, like a puppet.

Fang Ming felt a pain in his heart. After his father got injured and got sick, his appearance completely changed.

"dad."

Fang Zhonghua turned his head slowly, and when he saw Fang Ming, he was stunned and said, "Didn't you go out to work? Why are you back?"

"Oh, come back as soon as you come back. It's not easy outside. Being a family is more important than anything else."

Hearing such words, Fang Ming felt even more uncomfortable. He knew that his father thought that he was unsatisfactory and unable to hang out outside, so he came back.

As a father, instead of blaming his son for his incompetence, he comforted him. This is all out of a father's doting.

Looking at his father carefully, Fang Ming felt even more sad. His formerly strong body was getting thinner day by day, leaving only a broad skeleton, and the once strong muscles disappeared.He understands that the reason for this is that besides the illness, the more important thing is that his father has been blaming himself, thinking that it is because of him that the whole family is in trouble, and his son, who should have a bright future, has to drop out of school and go out to work .

Such mental pressure is fatal.

Sitting down beside his father Fang Zhonghua, Fang Ming handed over the cigarette in his hand and said, "Dad, here are the cigarettes I brought you."

"Oh... If you don't save money, why buy this thing... huh?"

At the beginning, Fang Zhonghua didn't pay much attention to it, but when he saw Ruan Zhonghua was handed over by his son, he was taken aback and immediately said loudly: "Where did you get the money to buy this kind of cigarettes? Say, what are you doing?"

Seeing his father's reaction, Fang Ming smiled wryly. This was the same as Zhao Huo's reaction before, thinking that he had done something outrageous by going out.

"Dad, why are you like Uncle Six, thinking that I did something bad when I went out?"

Fang Ming briefly talked about the things he encountered when he went out. Of course, he would never say that there was a Pixiu in his body that could recognize antiques after being hit by a stone—telling it would definitely scare his father. .

"You mean you're earning 70 now?"

Fang Zhonghua was startled, and looked at Fang Ming in disbelief. He had never seen so much money in his life—even in his dreams, he never thought that one day he would be able to make so much money.

"Well, it's all in the card. I'm going to give the money to my family when I come back this time."

Fang Ming paused for a while and then continued: "At least you still don't have to worry about the money I've done to make money—because even if I did it, it's impossible to make so fast and so much money. .”

When Fang Zhonghua heard it, he realized that this was really the case.

"Antiques are so profitable?"

Shaking his head, Fang Ming said, "It's not that it's easy to make money. It's just that I'm lucky, so I can earn so much. Under normal circumstances, it's impossible."

"Dad, I've thought about it. With this money, first, you can cure your illness; second, give the rest of the money to your younger brothers and sisters to study, and the other thing is that our house is also old. Why not take the opportunity to tear it down and rebuild it.”

Fang Ming had thought about these things on the way back, and now he said them one by one.

"Well, but I think the most important thing is that you go back to school and study."

"Let's talk about this matter again. One is that I dropped out of school, and it is not easy to go back to study. The other is that I don't think I have to go back to study."

When Fang Zhonghua heard that Fang Ming didn't want to go back to study, he was furious, widened his eyes, and said:
"Hmph! What are you talking about!? If you don't study? If you don't take the university entrance exam, what will you do?"

"Dad, what is the purpose of going to college? Isn't it still making money? I make more money than college students now—you heard that a few college students earn more than me? Now college graduates earn 1 yuan a month." Pretty awesome, right? Without food or drink, it’s only 12 yuan a year, and it takes 70 years to earn 6 yuan, and this has to be done without food or drink.”

If he hadn't discovered that the Pixiu in his body could identify antiques, Fang Ming would definitely have chosen to study after earning 70 yuan, but now it's different. With Pixiu, he believes that he can definitely make a lot of money in the antique collection business. It is not impossible to become even the best collector.

Under such circumstances, whether to continue reading or not is not the most important thing.

"This one……"

Fang Zhonghua was speechless all of a sudden, the account calculated by his son was very reasonable, and he had no reason to refute at all.

"This... don't care anyway, you have to go back to study and give me a college entrance exam."

Seeing his father like this, Fang Ming shook his head, knowing that it would not make sense for the time being, so he simply stopped talking, "Dad, let's go back first, don't worry, I will take care of this family in the future."

Fang Zhonghua was silent for a while, and finally stood up and walked home without saying anything.

Looking at his father's back, Fang Ming secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that although his father didn't say anything, he recognized his words - he would support the whole family in the future.

Without hesitation, Fang Ming quickly caught up with his father, and the two walked home side by side.

When Fang Ming and Fang Zhonghua went back, Luo Cui had already prepared a table of meals, and in the center was a plate of chicken. It was the same rooster that proudly led the hen and chicks before, and now it had become a group of food. The meat is gone.The younger sister was sitting in her little chair, drooling while staring at the meat. As for the younger brother, although not so obvious, he was also very greedy.

Seeing this, Fang Ming smiled, first put one chicken leg into his sister's bowl, then put the other one into his younger brother's bowl, and said, "Eat quickly, eat more."

Like other families in the village, Fang Ming's family seldom saw meat except during festivals due to poor living conditions. It is absolutely rare to kill chickens like today.

Fang Ming understood that his mother did this because she came back from home.

The younger sister Fang Zilan was hungry, and the younger brother Fang Haozheng was half-starved to death. When he saw the chicken legs had been placed in his bowl, he couldn't care less about anything and started eating.

Only then did Fang Ming sit down with a smile. He picked up the bottle and was about to pour wine for his father, but he took it back. His father's illness was not cured, and he had already smoked a cigarette. Naturally, it was better not to drink this wine.

Soon, Fang Ming found that his mother was looking at him, with a look of wanting to ask but not wanting to ask, knowing that she was also worried about the source of the money he earned.

"Mom, I just told Dad that I have 70 yuan in my card. This time, I will bring the money back to Dad for medical treatment. The rest is up to you. I will leave it to my younger siblings to study, by the way. , the house at home is also time to rebuild.”

"What? How much?"

Luo Cui shook her hands, almost throwing her chopsticks to the ground.

"Mom, 70, I got it by selling antiques, don't worry, it's clean."

……

The younger siblings were still young and couldn't understand how much 70 yuan was. Fang Zhonghua was better, but Luo Cui was different. She was so frightened that she spent the whole meal in a daze.

Seeing his mother like this, Fang Ming had no choice. After all, for ordinary people, this is indeed an astronomically huge sum of money, so she can only slowly digest the news.With a sudden movement in his heart, Fang Ming thought of that piece of jade, and immediately ran back to the room to find the things out of his bag.

After returning to the yard and handing it to Su Cui, Fang Ming said, "Mom, you have to believe it now, right?"

"What do you believe? Ah... Where did you get this thing? It's very beautiful."

Seeing his mother staring at it for a while, and then casually putting the egg-sized jadeite on the table, Fang Ming was delighted and said, "Mom, this is jadeite."

"What? Emerald?"

Su Cui shuddered suddenly, and suddenly understood the meaning of Fang Ming's words, her eyes widened suddenly, showing a look of shock and disbelief.

"Oh, mom, don't you believe that I made a lot of money buying antiques? This is the proof. This is the emerald dug out of the stone, which is very valuable."

"Brother, is this really emerald? It's so beautiful."

Small stars appeared in Fang Zilan's eyes. She didn't know what emerald was, but the egg-sized gemstone in front of her eyes was full of green, greener than the bamboo leaves on the mountain after the heavy rain. Attracting her attention, she stretched out her little hand and grabbed at Jade.

"Snapped!"

A big hand stretched out from the side, and suddenly slapped Fang Zilan's hand aside, it was Su Cui.

"Girl, what are you doing, this is emerald, don't be careless."

Su Cui grabbed the jade back into her hands and wiped it on her clothes a few times, then lifted it up to the sky and looked at it for a while and found that there was no dust on it before she nodded in satisfaction.

"Mom, you don't need to be so careful."

"Hmph! What do you know, there is vegetable juice or something on this dinner table, if it gets on it, it will be bad."

Su Cui glared at Fang Ming, obviously not paying attention to his words.

"Mom, I mean it's okay for Zilan to take a look at this emerald, just let her play with it."

Fang Ming said that he "digged" the jade out of Su Cui's hand, and handed it to Fang Zilan who had always had stars in his eyes.

"Brother is the best to me!"

Holding the jadeite in her hand, Fang Zilan jumped up happily.

"Is this really emerald?"

Staring at the jadeite in Fang Zilan's hand, Su Cui's tone was still not convinced.

"Mom, what are you doing lying to you?"

The jade that Fang Ming took out was more convincing than anything else—after taking it out, Su Cui and Fang Zhonghua stopped questioning him about his work, and obviously believed his words.

Fang Ming clearly felt that this meal was the most relaxed meal his father had eaten since his illness. For example, his father insisted on drinking in the end, and people who usually drink four or five catties of high-strength liquor without getting drunk didn't take a few sips. He was so drunk that he passed out and was carried back to his room to sleep.

At night, Fang Ming talked to his family and went out. He first bought wine and peanuts at the small store in the village, and then went to Zhao Huo's house. During the day, he agreed with the other party to go to his house for a drink go.

Zhao Huo's house is a dilapidated tile-roofed house, and it is the kind of dilapidated one in the village. From this, it can be seen that his life is not very good.

"Hey, are the lights still on?"

When he walked to Zhao Huo's house, Fang Ming was stunned for a moment. Zhao Huo's life was tight, and he seldom turned on the lights at night in order to save money. Fang Ming knew about him when he was still in the village. Because of this habit, I saw that the lights were on at this time.

Fang Ming pushed on Zhao Huo's door a few times and found it locked. It was even more strange. Zhao Huo never locked the door before. It was because the atmosphere in the village was so good that he didn't pick up things on the road, but because he was too poor and his family was destitute , There is nothing to steal.

"Clap clap clap!"

Fang Ming slapped the door vigorously, and then shouted loudly:
"Uncle Six, open the door, I'm here, really, what kind of door do you lock, an old man?"

After waiting outside the door with wine and peanuts for about ten minutes, footsteps came from the room, and then the door opened.

"I said Uncle Six, what are you doing? Let it be on, and even lock the door. I said, what do you have here to steal?"

Fang Ming walked in while talking, but when he walked in, he found a woman sitting in the house.

"What... what's going on?"

Xia Ming was really dumbfounded at this moment, and he also fully understood why the door was locked just now, it must be doing that.

No matter who this kind of thing happened to, Fang Ming didn't find it strange, but it happened to Zhao Huo which shocked him immensely.

Moreover, Fang Ming found that the girl in front of him was really young, she looked almost like himself!

A typical old cow eats young grass!

Therefore, Fang Ming was completely shocked!

"This...is Zhang Jiafang, you can call her Sister Fang."

Seeing Fang Ming's reaction, Zhao Huo, who followed in, blushed, and the iron-like man began to speak intermittently.During the day, Fang Ming said that he would find him for a drink at night. He had been waiting all along, but after Zhang Jiafang came, the two dry sticks naturally "burned" under the fire. At this moment, he forgot the time until Fang Ming came to knock on the door He just remembered that it was broken, and what was more serious was that it was going on when he knocked on the door, there was no reason to stop it, so he made Fang Ming wait outside for a long time.

"Ha! Aunt Six, it's true. Uncle Six is ​​hiding everything very tightly. He didn't hear anything about it beforehand. Now it's all right. We didn't prepare a gift for the first time we met."

Fang Ming came to realize that his mouth was very sweet. Where could it be called Sister Fang, Aunt Six immediately called her.

Zhang Jiafang's face was also red hot, and her head was so low that it was about to touch her chest. After a while, she made a small voice like a mosquito and said, "You are Fang Ming, right? The first time we met..."

If he didn't concentrate, Fang Ming really wouldn't be able to hear it.

"Xiao Fang, I'll take you back first, and I'll have a drink with Fang Ming later."

……

Seeing Zhao Huo leading Zhang Jiafang away in a hurry, the smile on Fang Ming's face was like a fire. When they were gone, he laughed even louder. He really didn't expect Zhao Huo to be like this day!
