Tong Wenjie narrowed her eyes and said with a half-smile.
"Mom, my little piggy bank has almost emptied out the money, and I brought gifts for Dad and Lei'er?"
Afraid that Tong Wenjie would try to take his private money again, Fang Yifan hurriedly explained.
"Oh, I have a share too?"
Tong Wenjie is already wearing a three-piece suit, so it would be a lie for Fang Yuan to say that he is not looking forward to it.
"You are the one who gets the most. I spent a lot of money on it."
Just by looking at the gift box, Fang Yuan knew that his son was not lying. Patek Philippe - the aristocrat among watches.
After he became rich, he went to No. 23 Qianmen three times, but either there was no stock or he couldn't bring himself to buy. Unexpectedly, his son helped him achieve his goal, but he didn't know which series it was.
"Nautilus series, good, I like it very much."
After opening the wooden box, Fang Yuan said with satisfaction.
Nautilus is a sports series of Patek Philippe. Fang Yifan bought Fang Yuan a 5711A blue-dial watch known as the "Steel King". It is low-key and luxurious, which suits Fang Yuan's temperament very well.
"Leier, this is for you."
Fang Yifan’s gift to Lin Lei’er was also a watch, a Longines—not eye-catching, but exquisite.
Chapter 158 New Year’s Eve
2019 December 2
New Year's Eve
This is the first time that Fang Yifan has celebrated the Spring Festival since he traveled through time. Although Shuxiang Yayuan is mostly tenants, the whole community still has a strong festive atmosphere. Big red lanterns are hung high, and every household is putting up Spring Festival couplets, cleaning, and bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.
Fang Yuan originally wanted to invite his parents to come over to celebrate the New Year together, but he found out that they had already signed up for a sunset tour group and were traveling to Sanya these days.
"Why do all of them, old and young, love traveling so much?"
Fang Yuan complained a little unhappily.
"The world is so big, I want to see it, and my grandparents must want to see it too. If you want to show your filial piety, you can give them more funds for activities so that they can have more fun."
The great era is only a year away, so it’s time to travel early.
"Do you still need to remind me of this? Your father is a filial son. He listens to his mother. Unlike you..."
There are really not many harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships in China. Knowing that Tong Wenjie was pregnant, Fang's mother was of course very happy, but she took the opportunity to talk about Lin Lei'er, which made Tong Wenjie very disgusted, and the two almost quarreled that day.
"Mom, Lei'er and I went to Yingzi's house to play."
"Cousin, I..."
"It's okay, I won't treat you as a light bulb."
It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. Whenever this happens, Fang Yifan will choose to avoid it to avoid the war from affecting himself; this time is no exception, he also drags Lin Lei'er into it.
Speaking of Lin Lei'er, this kid is really miserable; I don't know whether his father is more concerned about Tong Wenjie or his own son; it has been half a year, and it's ok that he hasn't come to see him once, but he didn't even ask him to go back for the New Year. What a scumbag who doesn't hide it.
.........
"Fanfan, Lei'er, why are you here?"
The person who opened the door was Song Qian, who was wearing an apron. Fang Yifan entered the room and found that the three of them were making dumplings.
"Tong Wenjie and Fang Yuan are about to fight. Lei'er and I came to hide from you. Aunt Song, you won't chase us away, will you?"
After changing into slippers and entering the house, Fang Yifan said pitifully.
"You are such a disrespectful kid. How can you talk about your parents like that?"
After Qiao Weidong returned to his family, Song Qian was not as anxious as before. She tapped Fang Yifan's head and scolded with a smile.
"Tong Wenjie is now using the emperor to control the princes. Your father didn't dare to argue with her before, but now she dares to act like a demon?"
Every time he saw Fang Yifan, Qiao Weidong had a sense of crisis and anxiety; the cabbages he had raised for many years were about to be taken away, so he basically had no good expression.
"Of course my dad didn't dare, but he couldn't stand my mom's constant pressure and provocation every day. He was unreasonable before, and he became even more unreasonable after I got pregnant."
When he was studying, Fang Yifan didn’t feel it much because he spent most of his time in school; now that it’s vacation time, that feeling comes over him.
"Cousin, I think my aunt is actually fine. She is like this now mainly because she is pregnant."
Lin Leier spoke up to defend Tong Wenjie.
"Look, the public has sharp eyes. Lei'er feels that my mother is abnormal, which shows how scary she is now.
Uncle Qiao, I have an immature suggestion; how about you and Aunt Song come to our house to celebrate the New Year, and Yingzi, Leier and I will celebrate the New Year here, and we can have fun together, the adults and the children. How about that? "
Fang Yifan became more and more demanding.
"Haha, Fanfan, I'm impressed by your shamelessness. It seems that it's not enough for you to come to my house to eat and drink for free, but you also want to trick me and your Aunt Song out. You are really something."
Qiao Weidong looked as if to say, "I've seen through your tricks," and pointed at Fang Yifan and cursed with a smile.
“Uncle Qiao, I just made a suggestion, this way we can all relax;
Let my dad call Uncle Ji and the others, and I'll call Ji Yangyang and Huang Zhitao here; it's more lively during the New Year."
Fang Yifan continued to instigate.
"Call Old Ji and the others?"
After Ji Shengli retired to the second line, he had more free time; although his main task was to take care of his wife, he often met with Fang Yuan, and Qiao Weidong was also there. After a few visits, the two became familiar with each other.
"Fanfan, this is a good idea. Liu Jing is sick now. She is such a kind person. We should help her if we can."
Song Qian and Qiao Weidong also knew that Liu Jing had breast cancer. In addition, Ji Shengli had helped block the video of Fang Yifan and Qiao Yingzi kissing, so they both felt guilty.
"Then should I give Fang Yuan a call and ask?"
The wife's opinion is the most important. After returning home, Qiao Weidong follows Song Qian's instructions and does whatever she says.
On the other hand, Fang Yuan was overjoyed when he received a call from Qiao Weidong; he was being scolded to death by Tong Wenjie, and if more people came to his house to celebrate the New Year, Tong Wenjie's temper should be more restrained.
"Your dad is really suffering from your mom. He even asked me to go over there as soon as possible."
After putting down his phone, Qiao Weidong finally believed what Fang Yifan said.
"It's almost time for dinner. I'll get you something to eat before I go over."
"No, no, Aunt Song, you can go with Uncle Qiao. I can take care of the cooking and everything."
Rejecting Song Qian's kindness, Fang Yifan patted his chest and promised.
"Can you please not burn our house down on New Year's Day?"
"Uncle Qiao, my last name is Fang, which means "square and round". For men in our Fang family, it doesn't matter whether they can make money or not, the most important thing is to be virtuous. Being able to be a good hostess and a good cook is the basic skill, okay?"
Fang Yifan took the apron that Song Qian had just taken off and tied it on himself. Without saying a word, he walked into the kitchen and started working.
"Okay, from now on you will be in charge of the interior, and I will be in charge of the exterior. That's it."
Before Qiao Weidong and Song Qian could say anything, Qiao Yingzi was already amused and came over with a smile to express her opinion.
"This shameless person is exactly the same as Fang Yuan. No, it should be said that the disciple is better than the master. We don't care. Let them be."
Qiao Weidong has gotten used to his little cotton-padded jacket leaking air from time to time; if it really doesn't work, he'll learn Fang Yuan and practice the trumpet first.
Not long after Qiao Weidong and Song Qian left, Fang Yifan and Qiao Yingzi started to call people. One called Ji Yangyang and the other called Huang Zhitao. Both of them wanted to bring them together.
"Cousin, do you want my help?"
Seeing others in pairs, single dog Lin Lei'er felt hurt exponentially; he said this to Fang Yifan who was showing off his knife skills to Qiao Yingzi in the kitchen.
"Nothing to help you with. You and Ji Yangyang can go watch TV. Yingzi and I will take care of it right away."
It’s not that Fang Yifan hadn’t thought about calling Wang Yidi over, but she opened her mouth.
Small scale chopper
Half an hour later
Four dishes, mouth-watering chicken, spiced beef, sea bass with scallion oil, and baby cabbage in clear soup, were freshly prepared. The staple food was the leek and shrimp dumplings that Song Qian had already prepared.
"Oh my god, Fang Yifan, you still have this skill."
Except for the five-spice beef which was ready-made, the other dishes were all made by Fang Yifan on the spot. Huang Zhitao and Ji Yangyang were both a little impressed.
"How about it? My son Fanfan is virtuous, isn't he? This is what a good man in the new century should be like, good at both being a gentleman and a cook."
In front of her good friends, Qiao Yingzi showed off her boyfriend without any concealment.
"Showing affection will lead to death sooner."
Huang Zhitao felt a little envious and regretful about other people’s boyfriends. Who knew that Fang Yifan would become a treasure boy after his counterattack.
"If I had known about the roast duck, I wouldn't have ordered it. The delivery fee today is super expensive."
Ji Yangyang did not pin all his hopes for lunch on Fang Yifan. He ordered a Quanjude roast duck on Meituan Takeout, and the rider was already downstairs.
.........
"Fanfan really knows how to do everything. I don't know how this dish tastes, but it looks really good."
At Fang Yuan's house, the adults have already started eating; Song Qian forwarded the photo that Qiao Yingzi sent her to you, Tong Wenjie.
"It looks good, but he has never cooked at home. I even helped him put the wontons in. Maybe he ordered takeout."
It is said that no one knows a child better than his mother, but Tong Wenjie really didn't know that Fang Yifan had this ability.
"We didn't order takeout. Qiao Weidong bought the fish and vegetables this morning. He was just starting to prepare them when we left the house."
"Alas, my son is really raised by others. He has never cooked a meal for me since he was a child, but he cooked for Yingzi first."
This simple sentence reveals the fundamental reason why the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in China is so bad.
Chapter 159 Before the College Entrance Examination
The Chinese New Year actually only lasts for two days, New Year’s Eve and the first day of the first lunar month. After these two days, the new year is considered over.
Qiao Yingzi and Lin Lei'er both performed well in the winter camp, and there was a high chance that they would be able to enroll themselves. But even so, they did not slack off at all, and still did a set of test papers every day, and then Song Qian would answer their questions.
Fang Yifan has passed the unified art examination and was forced to take part in several school examinations. The art examination can be said to be completely over. The next step will depend on his academic performance. Furthermore, he no longer has any excuse to take leave or be lazy.
"Mom, based on my art exam results, according to previous years, as long as I get 530 in cultural subjects, I can choose any major. Do you think I can't get 530?"
Fang Yifan’s habit is to enjoy life. Since he has already won, why should he be so hard on himself?
"Fanfan, when a lion fights a rabbit, it also uses all its strength; even kindergarten children know the story of the tortoise and the hare. Do you want me to tell you again?
Also, the years of hard work in the third year of high school are your spiritual wealth for a lifetime, and you don’t want your own children to have nothing to tell them about when they take the college entrance examination. "
In Shuxiang Yayuan, almost every student who is going to take the college entrance examination is studying hard. Only her own son looks lazy and idle. Tong Wenjie can't stand it.
"Mom, it's winter vacation now. There's only one week left. When school officially starts, I will study hard and catch up."
Good luck, we’ll eat chicken tonight. Fang Yifan still didn’t put down the game in his hand.
"I'm talking to you. Stop playing games and don't do the test. Go cook for me. Just make me a portion of what you made for Yingzi and the others last time. I asked your dad to buy the sea bass and other things. They're in the refrigerator."
"So you're waiting for me here, okay, I'll go cook for you."
Fang Yuan was busy setting up his law firm and went out today; Lin Lei'er was working hard on the test paper, and Fang Yifan couldn't let Tong Wenjie cook for him with a big belly.
"That's right. Your father and I raised you until you were eighteen, and we never saw you cook a meal for us. Qiao Yingzi didn't say anything, but you happily cooked for her. Is there any son like you?"
She no longer called him Yingzi, but simply called him Qiao Yingzi; Qiao Weidong felt that Fang Yifan had stolen his daughter, and Tong Wenjie thought that it was Qiao Yingzi who was seducing her son?
This was the arrangement almost every day for the next week; Fang Yuan had completely learned his lesson, and after knowing that Fang Yifan could cook, he started leaving home early and coming back late, leaving the responsibility of taking care of Tong Wenjie during the day to his son.
What about Fang Yifan? He was free anyway, so he might as well do his filial duty on behalf of the original owner.
.........
There are 110 days left until the college entrance examination
……
There are 80 days left until the college entrance examination
……
There are 40 days left until the college entrance examination
You may not have a sense of urgency, but the surrounding environment will give you this feeling; after wandering in two worlds and seeing many ups and downs, Fang Yifan originally thought that he would never have this feeling again.
