Chapter 275 Return to Liu's House

Early in the morning, Fang Xiang pushed his bicycle, which he hadn't ridden for more than a year, out of the back house.

He found a rag, dug out an old washbasin, and filled it with water.

He polished the bicycle until it was shiny, pushed it to the entrance of the alley, found a mechanic, and spent a penny to inflate the flat tire.

I hung all the things I bought from Hong Kong Island on the handlebars.

Then he rode his bike slowly and turned onto the main road.

It was already rush hour and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

Although it is already mid-November, the biting cold wind has begun to rage on the streets of the capital.

But Fang Xiang unexpectedly felt that time had become sticky.

There were still some yellow leaves left on the road, blown everywhere by the howling northwest wind.

As I passed by the primary school on the street, the bell for the end of get out of class rang. The street, which had been quiet just a moment ago, suddenly became lively.

Then the loudspeaker for physical exercises sounded, and familiar music came out.

In the distance, black smoke was rising from the chimney of the steel mill and rolling away into the distance.

It seemed as if everything around me slowed down a little bit.

But before Fang could enjoy this moment of peace.

At the corner of the street, a group of young people wearing green clothes and armbands on their arms appeared.

They held red books in their arms, laughed loudly, and some sang.

The fluttering red flag continues to fly brightly along with the flow of people.

When Fang Xiang passed by on his bicycle, he attracted many curious glances from the female soldiers.

The male soldiers, on the other hand, looked at his Zhongshan suit and the packages hanging on his handlebars that they had never seen before with envy.

There was a brave one who even stood in front of the bicycle, trying to stop Fang Xiang.

However, as the handlebars were twisted, the bicycle seemed to have life and nimbly bypassed the bold male soldier.

This immediately caused a group of people to laugh.

A strange red color appeared on the face of the male soldier just now.

But before he could turn around and catch up, the bicycle had already left him far behind.

Looking at the bicycle gradually becoming a smaller thing, the man spat out a mouthful of phlegm in hatred.

After turning another intersection, the compound appeared in front of us.

However, the soldiers standing guard now are no longer the faces that Fang Xiang is familiar with.

Fang Xiang was allowed to pass only after he showed his work ID and called the Liu family for confirmation.

He took out two unopened packs of Daqianmen cigarettes and threw them through the window onto the table inside the gate.

Fang Xiang greeted the two soldiers with a smile so that they would remember his face.

He rode his bicycle leisurely and stopped in front of Liu's house.

And his 213 was parked quietly in the yard.

"Xiao Fang, when did you come back?"

Before Fang Xiang could park his bicycle, the door was opened.

Mother Liu's smiling face appeared in front of Fang Xiang.

"I arrived last night. I didn't want to disturb you, mom and dad, so I went back to the yard to take a nap.

Look, I just woke up and came here. "

Fang Xiang smiled and started to unload the things on the bicycle.

"We are a family now, why are you still so distant?

No matter what the impact is, remember to go home no matter how late it is! "

Although Mother Liu's words seemed to be complaining, the smile on her face was very bright.

“Didn’t we go to Hong Kong Island before?

I bought some things from there that we don't see here.

Mom, take a look and see if you like it."

Fang wanted to stuff a few lighter things into Mother Liu's hands and take the heavier things himself.

“Another waste of money!

You really are such a kid for buying so many things!

Haven't eaten yet? What do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you right away.

Come on, come into the house quickly. "

Mother Liu was very happy and went into the house with things in her hands.

"No, is there any leftover porridge from this morning? I just need a sip."

Fang Xiang also followed closely behind, carrying something.

"There's nothing left. If you want some porridge, I'll make you some new porridge.

But you'll have to wait.

I just made some meat buns at home two days ago. I'll heat up a few for you."

Putting down the things in her hands, Mother Liu picked up the apron next to the sofa and prepared to go into the kitchen.

"Then don't do it, it's too much trouble.

I'll just go to the door and have a bowl of mutton soup. I haven't had it for a long time and I'm craving it."

Seeing that Mother Liu wanted to cook a new meal for him, Fang Xiang quickly declined.

"You kid, why don't you eat your own meal when you get home? Why do you go out to eat?

It will be fine in a moment, just wait."

Mother Liu immediately started complaining.

“No hurry, no hurry.

Please take a look at what I brought you first.

This is a watch, this is a necklace, and this is a bracelet. I heard that they are old jade from Myanmar. I don’t understand them either. Can you help me check them?

There are also several hand-made custom-made clothes, which are new styles that are popular in Hong Kong Island.

Take a look and see if you like it."

Fang Xiang quickly pulled Mother Liu's arm and asked her to sit down.

Then open the gifts one by one.

"This must cost a lot of money, kid, why don't you save the money you have?

When you have children in the future, the expenses will be huge.

There’s no need to spend that money. . . ”

Mother Liu is always like this, saying that she is not happy.

But the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

I thought to myself, this son-in-law is so good, he is closer to me than my own son.

My son has been in Luoyi for almost a year. He is too lazy to call me, let alone buy anything for me.

At this moment, I gave myself 108 likes for my persistence in my vision.

"Here are some foreign wine, foreign cigarettes, watches and other things I brought for Dad.

I just wanted to try something new. I had too many things to bring with me.

There was also Shuying's, but the bicycle couldn't fit it all, so it was left in the yard.

I'll get it back later."

Fang Xiang talked about the gifts one by one.

“Too many…

Just be willing to do this, and don’t buy so many in the future.”

Mother Liu was so happy that sand appeared in her eyes. Looking at Fang Xiang, she felt that her original decision was extremely correct.

"I'm going out to have a bowl of mutton soup, and by the way, I'm going to Chaoyangmen South Street to see Xiaoying."

Seeing that Mother Liu's eyes were a little red at this time and holding his hand, Fang Xiang suggested going to see Liu Shuying.

"Why go? Just call Xiaoying and ask her to take a leave and come back.

It just so happens that tomorrow is the weekend, so one more day doesn’t make a difference.

You sit down and rest for a while. If you don't want to, go to your dad's study to smoke and drink tea.

I'll go make you some porridge.

I'll go buy some meat and vegetables in a moment.

I'll stew pork ribs for you at noon."

When Mother Liu saw Fang Xiang stand up, she was not willing to let Fang Xiang, who had just entered the house, leave like this.

"Don't bother, Mom.

I have to go somewhere else. I haven't been back for several months.

A lot of relationships also need to be moved around.

I won’t be back for lunch.

I'll come back to chat with you in the evening."

Fang thought he was not the kind of person who could sit idle, so he found an excuse to decline.

"Okay, I'll cook a few more dishes for you that night.

But you must come back for dinner.

I'll call your dad too and ask him to come back early."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her daughter, Mother Liu stopped trying to stop her.

"Okay, I just happen to have a lot of work to report to Dad."

Fang Xiang smiled and nodded.

"I'll get you the car keys. It's cold outside now, so you won't get cold while driving.

Just throw the bicycle in the yard first."

Mother Liu let go of Fang Xiang's hand, walked to the door, opened the drawer, took out the car keys, and handed them to Fang Xiang.

"Okay, I'll be looking forward to eating delicious food tonight."

Fang Xiang took the key and walked to the door.

He said goodbye to Mrs. Liu, opened the car door and started the car.
