Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 153 Engagement Banquet, "We need to get a TV at home" (3K)

This time Fangyan opened the door himself.

Sure enough, his two little Russian apprentices were standing at the door.

"Master, we are here!" Anton and Sophia said to Fangyan in unison.

Judging from their appearance, it seemed as if they had rehearsed it specially.

Fang Yan glanced at other places outside the door, and when he saw no one else, he led the two people into the house:

"Anton, Sofia, welcome."

After entering the house, they placed the large box in their hands on the floor of Fang Yan's living room, then opened it directly, revealing the contents:
"Master, this is the gift we brought you... the same silver cutlery as in the Moscow restaurant."

Fangyan was dazzled by the set of silver cutlery in the box.

It is very different from what I saw at Lao Mo last time.

This one is obviously more exquisite.

Plus there are no signs of use, so it looks particularly eye-catching.

"How beautiful!" Zhu Lin couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the huge box of silver cutlery.

Others were also shocked by this scene.

It must cost a lot of money to send such a large box of silverware.

And there may not be anywhere to buy it.

Fangyan's two foreign apprentices were so generous when they first spent money that it was really shocking.

Meng Jimin, who was standing by, secretly sighed to his master:

"He didn't want to accept this disciple at first..."

Mr. Zhu had heard Meng Jimin tell this story. He smiled and said:
"Taking a disciple is a matter of fate. If they have fate, they can naturally become master and disciple."

Meng Jimin listened to his master's somewhat profound words and looked thoughtful.

He has been secretly studying these things recently, and his understanding of these words is deeper than others.

On the other side, Fang Yan, who had experienced the experience of being sent gold bars, was now more resistant to these gold and silver items. He closed the box without blushing or beating his heart, and said:

"I like your gifts very much, thank you."

He was not polite at all to these two disciples.

Now I am still asking them to memorize ancient books so that they can lay a foundation. If they can memorize them, I will teach them skills in the future.

Now it can be seen that Anton is a relatively talented kid, at least in terms of memory.

He can already remember the map of the human body's acupuncture points.

For a foreigner, this is quite an impressive skill.

None of the international students I knew back then could remember things as quickly as Anton.

As for Sophia, this girl behaved more ordinary.

The progress did not exceed Fangyan's expectations.

When the two apprentices arrived, they did not consider themselves outsiders and directly followed Fangyan to help him with his work.

Seeing that they wanted to perform so much, Fangyan asked them to follow Professor Zhu to pick vegetables.

……

Fang Yan then became busy. Many guests arrived at the house one after another, some of them were guests from the Fang family and some were guests from the Zhu family.

When it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning, Mr. Lu, Xiao Li, and Fangyan's superior, the store manager Le Miao, also arrived.

At this moment, the Fang family's house is as lively as a vegetable market.

Mr. Lu also chatted with Mr. Zhu for the first time.

Xiao Li, the younger generation, also ran to the kitchen to help.

His master Ding Jian originally wanted to come today, but his physical condition was not suitable for traveling so far, so Fang Yan asked them to attend the wedding ceremony in October.

As for the other brothers, although they could not come, the basic situation has now stabilized. Even Shang Yunxiang, who was the most seriously injured, has woken up.

Mr. Lu also found a very skilled orthopedic doctor who prescribed traditional Chinese medicine for them to help them recover as much as possible.

Among Mr. Lu’s disciples in the capital, only Fang Yan can speak normally.

All the other disciples were sent to the hospital.

As for the culprit Shan Haoran, although the evidence is conclusive, he has not yet been sentenced.

His family used their connections to find the person in the capital and plead for him, but Mr. Lu was no pushover and would definitely not show mercy to such a scourge.

They are using their connections to fight each other.

This kind of thing is not something Fangyan can interfere with. With Mr. Lu taking action, I believe that kid will eventually go to jail.

It is also worth mentioning that Shan Haoran’s body is really terrifying. Even after being hit on the temple by Fang Yan’s heavy blow, he still woke up.

And his whole brain just had a concussion.

But what really hurt Fangyan was the few blows to his stomach that happened earlier.

Those dialects blocked the blood flow in his lower body, causing his lower abdomen to swell. After a while, he now had symptoms of intermittent paralysis in his lower body, and his movements were not as agile as before.

There was no one to treat him at the moment, so he could only suffer on his own.

I just don’t know how many years this person will be imprisoned.

Fangyan is quite concerned about this.

Of course, he is not the only one who cares about this matter. His senior brothers are more concerned about it than him.

……

It was soon lunch time.

Before the meal begins, a very important ceremony is held.

With all the relatives and friends witnessing, the Fang family gave the Zhu family a betrothal gift and set a date for the wedding.

After accepting the betrothal gifts, the Zhu family took out a list of gifts as Zhu Lin's dowry.

It was probably: dozens of kilograms of quilts, more than ten meters of cloth coupons, a set of round items (wooden foot basin, bathtub, bucket, etc.), then a bed, an octagonal table, chairs, stools, washbasin rack, clove cabinet, flat cabinet, box, and more than six new quilts, as well as porcelain, new clothes, etc.

On the wedding day, these things will be taken from the bride's home to the courtyard behind Fangyan by car.

The vehicles here are of course bicycles, but it is not ruled out that you can get a car or a jeep on the same day.

Anyway, Fang Yan and Zhu Lin were both a little confused and just listened to their parents hosting the whole process.

Finally, the ceremony ended.

Everyone was invited to take their seats and today's engagement party began.

It was the first time for many people to taste the cooking skills of the dialect. Whether it was a cold dish or a hot dish, it was delicious and fragrant.

Even those who have attended many grand banquets spoke highly of today's meal.

Especially Mr. Zhu, who had witnessed the luxurious life in Shanghai in the old days, also gave a very high evaluation of Fangyan's meal.

Some even said that if he hadn't been a doctor, he would definitely have been a good chef.

This sounded a bit funny, but it was agreed by everyone. Fangyan even joked that if the policy was open in the future, he would open his own clinic, where he could see patients on one side and eat on the other.

By then, I will collect all the medicinal foods and health-preserving recipes in the world.

Patients don't need to take medicine, they can just visit the clinic regularly to eat and prolong their life and be immune to all diseases.

Everyone who heard it burst into laughter. It was really bold to think about speaking in dialect.

Who would go to the herbal medicine shop to eat for no reason?
However, Fangyan knew that some of Tongrentang's city branches had actually done this kind of business.

He remembered it was a medicinal hotpot.

After a pleasant engagement banquet, people from the Fang and Zhu families saw their relatives and friends off to the door one by one.

After the last person got in the car and left, both families breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's mission is finally completed.

The relationship between Fang Yan and Zhu Lin has taken a step forward.

We can get our marriage certificate after the courtyard is decorated.

In the afternoon, Fang Yan and Zhu Lin both took boxes to pack some of their belongings and took the bus to move some of them over first.

Then the two of them didn't go back, but just walked around nearby.

They were very busy in the morning and finally had some time to rest in the afternoon. They also planned to take the opportunity to see what things to buy for their new home.

There are a lot of people on weekends, and many people choose to go shopping in the afternoon.

Fang Yan and Zhu Lin chose to go to a nearby department store.

After walking around here, Fangyan found that many people were gathered in one place.

Fangyan and Zhu Lin walked over with curiosity.

Then they saw that the crowd was watching a TV.

Although televisions could be produced in China as early as 1958, they were still a high-end luxury item for ordinary families at that time.

In the 1970s, there were more domestic television brands to choose from, including BJ, Venus, Feiyue, Panda, and Kaige.

Although there are not many TV stations at the moment, everyone is very welcoming to these programs.

Everyone watched attentively.

What is being broadcast on TV now is the program of Beijing TV.

The Beijing Television Station here is what later became the CCTV.

If Fangyan remembers correctly, it will not be renamed until May 1st next year.

The current TV programmes are all previewed in the newspapers.

Fangyan also saw a blackboard behind the counter, on which was written the contents of the program preview in the newspaper:

Beijing Television Channel 2 (Channel )

(If there are any changes to the program, please refer to the TV preview on that day)
These contents actually seem to be more exciting than Fangyan thought. Fangyan said to Zhu Lin:

"I think we should find a way to get a TV at home."

When Zhu Lin heard Fangyan's words, he didn't pay much attention to the key word "television", but instead noticed Fangyan's "our home".

She was slightly startled, then smiled and agreed:
"Okay, there are colleagues in our company who have received TV tickets. I will try to buy them and get a TV for our family."

Zhu Lin deliberately emphasized the three words "our family", and Fang Yan of course noticed this. He smiled gently and held the queen's hand.

This time, the queen did not shyly struggle away. Instead, she held his fingers tightly together.

PS: The basic chapter of 6000 words has been updated, and there will be additional updates later.
