Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 196 My Brother is a Pure Love Warrior (3K)

When Fangyan and his friends came out of the courtyard and went to the bus stop outside Union Hospital to catch a bus, they suddenly saw a familiar-looking person appear at the entrance of Union Hospital.

Just then the other party saw him and immediately greeted him.

"Doctor Fang!"

Fang Yan looked closely and found that it was Tang Shengming.

He immediately greeted:
"Mr. Tang!"

It is said that people feel refreshed when good things happen to them. Tang Shengming changed his previous depressed and gloomy demeanor.

Now he exudes the aura of a superior leader.

Fangyan pointed at Xiehe and asked:

"Come to the hospital, are you feeling unwell?"

Mr. Tang waved his hand and said:

"No, no, it's just that an old leader is hospitalized here, and I came to see him before leaving for Hong Kong."

Fangyan suddenly understood.

At this time, Mr. Tang said again:

"By the way, could you please write me a copy of the rheumatism bath recipe you gave me last time? I might be able to use it when I return to Hong Kong."

"Okay, do you have paper and pen?" Fangyan asked.

Elder Tang turned around and asked the middle-aged man behind him:

"Xiao Wang, did you bring your notebook and pen?"

"It's in the car, I'll get it." The middle-aged man responded.

Then I took it from the car on the roadside.

Fang Yan didn't expect that the old man would now have both a car and a secretary. He asked:
"Is he your secretary or your driver?"

Old Tang said with a smile:

"Both. We're leaving for Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. He and I will go together."

Fang Yan nodded and asked:

"So when will you be back?"

Old Tang responded:
"About two or three months."

"Then take care of yourself and don't get too tired." Fang Yan said.

Old Tang waved his hand:
"Well, that's not up to me."

Soon the secretary brought the notebook and pen. Fang Yan quickly wrote it down and handed it back, then said to Old Tang:

"The prescription is ready. The top one is for medicinal bathing, the bottom one is for internal use, and here are the acupuncture points. If you find a Chinese medicine clinic in Hong Kong, you can ask them to help you."

Tang Shengming nodded repeatedly and said with a smile:

"Great, great, that's very comprehensive, thank you so much!"

Fangyan waved his hand and said:
"You're welcome. You went to Hong Kong to do things for our country. My little gift is nothing."

Old Tang smiled and nodded, then he remembered something and asked:
"Oh, by the way... I heard from Old Duan that Doctor Fang is getting married next month?"

Dialect nod:

"Yes, that's true."

"Linlin!" He called to Zhu Lin beside him.

Then he introduced to Tang Shengming:

"This is my fiancée, Zhu Lin."

Then he introduced Tang Shengming to Zhu Lin:
"This is the Mr. Tang I told you about."

"Hello, Mr. Tang!" Zhu Lin smiled and nodded at Tang Shengming.

Mr. Tang smiled and gave Fang Yan a thumbs up:
"Well, Doctor Fang, you are so lucky!"

"I wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon!"

After hearing this, Fangyan bowed to him.

Then Old Tang said:
"I'll make up your wedding gifts when I return from Hong Kong."

Fangyan didn't expect the old man to be so particular. Logically speaking, the two of them actually had nothing in common.

"Mr. Tang, you are too polite..." Fang Yan said to him.

Tang Shengming shook his head and said:

"No, no, no, I'm not being polite."

He explained:

"The last time I saw you, Doctor Fang, my luck changed for the old man."

"According to what my family says, you are my benefactor! When you get married, I should give you a gift."

When Fang Yan heard this, he didn't say anything else and agreed:

"Okay, then we'll wait for you to come back!"

“I wish you the best of luck in your past.”

Tang Shengming bowed:

"Thank you for your words! I'll be leaving first."

"Goodbye!" Fang Yan watched him get into the car, and the car started and left the entrance of Union Hospital.

Watching the car leave, Zhu Lin said to Fang Yan:

"This old man is quite interesting... He actually still remembers our wedding day."

Fang Yan smiled and said:

"The socialite of the Republic of China, the top social attribute is not in vain."

……

The four of them squeezed into the bus to go home. As the old saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

I've only been riding in the jeep for a few days, and now I'm not used to taking the crowded bus.

Fangyan was already thinking in the car how to get a car of his own.

But this is just something we can only think about, as it is impossible for ordinary units to equip themselves with cars nowadays.

Not to mention it's a private car.

If you want to get a car, you can only do it through normal means after a few years.

When getting off the bus, Zhu Lin said with emotion:
"I'm used to taking a private car, and the bus ride feels so long..."

When Zhu Lin's mother heard this, she immediately took over the conversation and said:

"In a few days, your courtyard house will be ready for people to live in. When you two get your marriage certificate, you only need to walk a few steps after get off work and cross the street to get home. You won't need a private car anymore."

The dialect said:

"When we can buy a car, we'll get one for our family."

After hearing this, my mother He Huiru said:

"Some units can't even afford cars, so how can individuals want to be equipped with cars?"

Fangyan looked at his mother and said with a smile: "Times are changing. Maybe every family will have a car in the future?"

Facing the blueprint described by the dialect, the old lady looked at the road in front of her and said:

"Won't this main road be blocked?"

Fangyan was stunned. As expected of me, you predicted this.

A group of people walked into the compound while talking.

Today, when the people in the yard saw that Fangyan and his friends actually came back by bus, they immediately started discussing it secretly.

Anyway, everyone guessed everything, but no one guessed it right.

Although Fangyan heard their conversation, he didn't pay much attention to it. He was used to being the topic of conversation among these grandmothers and aunties.

After separating from Zhu Lin downstairs, Fang Yan returned home with his mother.

I opened the door...and heard the sound of chopping vegetables coming from the kitchen.

"Is the fourth child so hardworking?" Hearing the voice, the mother asked in dialect.

As they talked, the two of them went into the house and looked into the kitchen, only to see that it was their father Fang Zhenhua cutting vegetables.

The fourth brother wasn't there at all.

Seeing Fangyan and the others coming back, Dad said happily:

"Today I'm here to show you my skills."

The old lady asked:

"Where's the fourth child?"

Dad adjusted his glasses with the back of his hand and wondered:

"I'm with you guys, right? Why are you asking about me?"

Fang Yan saw the boy's shoes at the door and thought he should be at home. He turned around and walked towards the bedroom:

"Fang Chen!"

The door opened with a creak, and Fang Yan smelled a strong odor of alcohol.

Looking closely, Fang Chen was lying on the bed.

He drank up a large bottle of white wine that he had brought back as cooking wine by the bed.

I still have some handwritten manuscripts around me, and I read "To Yuqiong" in dialect.

The guy even wrote poetry.

The dialect reads:
The jade-like face reflects the moon, and the rhythm is like poetry; the beautiful shadow in the dream stirs up emotions.

My heart is moved with you and I can't suppress my emotions. My love for you is like the spring breeze that never leaves.

Fangyan had no knowledge of love poems, so he picked up another one, "Lian Yuqiong".

What it says is:
The jade-like color reflects in the heart, and the graceful figure is charming and graceful.

Holding hands, we accompany each other through the warm years, and our love is eternal.

Fangyan picked up all the love poem manuscripts on the ground with emotion and put them together.

Then he picked up the empty bottle beside the bed and walked out of the room.

The old lady heard the dialect coming out and asked:
"How is your brother?"

Fangyan shook the empty wine bottle and said:
"I drank half a bottle of strong liquor."

"He was so inspired that he wrote a room full of love poems, all about his girl Yuqiong."

After hearing this, my mother shook her head speechlessly. Drinking and writing poetry at the same time is too childish.

But he still turned around and called to the kitchen:

"Lao Fang, let's save the dinner for Lao Si. He's drunk right now. I think he'll wake up in the middle of the night looking for something to eat."

"Oh, good! Is he at home?" Fang Zhenhua responded and asked curiously.

He Huiru responded unhappily:

"Yes, he is at home, writing poems and thinking about Yuqiong."

Fangyan remembered that his father had said in the morning that he would send a telegram to inquire about Yuqiong's family situation, so he asked:

"By the way, Dad, you sent a telegram this morning. Have you received a reply?"

Fang Zhenhua was startled when he heard this, then he slapped his thigh and said:
"Oops, I forgot to ask!"

I, He Huiru, was speechless:

"You said you..."

Fangyan walked up to his father and took the knife from him:

"Okay, leave the kitchen to me, you go ask."

Dad quickly handed it to Fangyan, and while taking off his apron, he agreed:

"Okay! I'll go right away."

After he left, I said speechlessly:
"Neither of these two, one old and one young, is reliable."

After saying that, he sighed and said to Fangyan who was cooking skillfully:

"I wish your brother could be half as successful as you are."

While cutting vegetables with the sound of "Duoduoduo" in dialect, he responded:

"That's not the case. I think the fourth child is quite talented in literature. If we let him develop, he might really become famous."

Although the love poems are corny, Fangyan feels that Lao Si should have some talent.

But my mother doesn't think so. She said:

"I'm not saying anything, but look at our family three generations ago, where has there been any writer?"

"You practice Chinese medicine, that's something you inherited from your grandfather. Who could your brother inherit that from?"

Fangyan refuted the old lady's words:

"Just because our ancestors didn't have any, doesn't mean our family can't do it. Not everyone is born a literary master. Some people need talent, and some people need hardships."

"I think Fang Chen belongs to the latter category."

"He just came back. Maybe he will make a big splash someday."

Just as the old lady was about to speak, Fangyan reminded her:

"Besides, he's in a miserable state now, so please don't talk about him."

I feel very happy to see Fangyan, the elder brother, being so supportive of his brothers.

But he said:
"When I think about how he used the money and tickets I sent him over the years to feed that Yuqiong, but ended up getting nothing, I get really angry."

Fangyan smiled and didn't say much.

After the fifth child passed away, Fang Chen became the youngest in the family and was indeed the most valued child.

It also led to him having too much money and becoming a target of others.

Thinking about the situation of the fourth brother today, the extra money and tickets given by my mother also played a crucial role.

Twenty minutes later, just as Fangyan finished cooking, his father came back.

As soon as he entered the door he said:
"I found it!"
