Many years later, Qingxi County was three times larger than it was then. Fangji's old store is still in its original location, with its black-and-gold signboard polished to a shine, and the stone steps at the door having dents—these are the footprints of generations of Qingxi people. The old locust tree is still there, and its canopy is larger than before. In summer, it can cover the entire yard in shade. Zhang Yangfan was sitting on a bamboo chair under the old locust tree, with a square table in front of him, playing mahjong with his three wives: when he was idle, he found someone to carve mahjong on wooden boards, which has now become popular in Qingxi. In fact, he didn't want to play because he always lost. Ruo Nan was a good card counter, Zhi Lan was attentive and cautious, not to mention Yun Jin, who even used 36 tricks to play mahjong. As for him, he hit that one, forget it, no, this time, he used two barrels, and the three women knocked down the mahjong at the same time: What a fool, one shot and three shots! Fang Ruonan's Hu's card is two barrels, Zhilan's is Pengpenghu, and Yun Jin's is two-five barrels. He was dumbfounded, but the three wives were not polite and stuck another small note on his face. The depressed Zhang Yangfan kept muttering: "It turned out to be one shot and three shots, so we made such a happy decision. The four of us will live together tonight and we will also have three shots." "Okay, husband, you are very brave. Why did the three of us take care of you last time, and now you forget it? How dare you come!" Ruonan agreed with a smile. "Since your husband has an idea, we will naturally fulfill it." Zhilan was not to be outdone. "I can do what I say, I believe in my husband." Yun Jin also believed in him. Zhang Yangfan's face tightened and he said hurriedly: "I suddenly remembered that I can't do it today. This evening, our eldest son and the third girl are going home. I have to ask them about the progress of the matter at hand. We will discuss it another day. Let's play cards first. Let's play cards." The three girls looked at each other and pushed the cards. Fang Ruonan said while counting the cards: "It will be another day, you can't run away anyway." "Uncle Zhang!" A crisp voice came from the door. Zhang Yangfan raised his eyes and saw a girl running over, followed by a smiling young man. The girl was eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a goose-yellow narrow-sleeved shirt, her hair tied into a high ponytail, and she was carrying the wind when she ran. Her eyes are big and bright, and they curve into crescents when she smiles. ——Fang Baobao. Baby combination: The daughter of Fang Xiaobao and Liu Baoting: This baby combination was teased by Zhang Yangfan, and everyone finally knew it. These two babies are very interesting. They give birth to a daughter, and the name is also a baby. Everyone in Qingxi City knows her. "Baby." Zhang Yangfan sat up straight with a smile, "You are running so fast, is there a dog chasing you?" Fang Baobao ran up to him, his face not red and out of breath, and he grabbed the young man behind him: "Uncle Zhang, this is Yuan Fufu! Fang Ji's manager has been promoted step by step from clerk!" Zhang Yangfan looked at the young man up and down—not fat or thin, not tall or short, wearing a gray cloth shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows. His face is joyful and his eyes are smiling, making people feel happy just looking at him. "Yuan Fufu?" Zhang Yangfan read the name again, frowning slightly, "round?" The image of a chubby fat man appeared in his mind. "... Should it be the name of a fat man?" Fang Baobao chuckled: "Uncle Zhang! He is not fat!" Yuan Fufu scratched his head, grinned, showing his white teeth: "Uncle Zhang, I'm not fat. I've been in this shape since I was a child." "Uncle Zhang," Fang Baobao took Yuan Fufu's hand and pushed him forward, "We are getting married! I'm here to treat you to a wedding banquet!" Zhang Yangfan held up the tea cup. After taking a sip, he asked slowly: "Congratulations, when?" "On the eighth day of next month!" Fang Baobao laughed out of his dimples, "Uncle Zhang, you must come!" "Come, of course." Zhang Yangfan put down his teacup. , "But I have to ask first - whose idea is this?" Fang Baobao puffed up his chest: "My idea! I have fallen in love with him, and he has also fallen in love with me, and it has been more than two years." Yuan Fufu nodded vigorously beside him, naively. "Okay. Does your dad know?" "Yes!" Fang Baobao said, "Dad said it's okay as long as I'm happy. Mom also said yes." Zhang Yangfan turned to look in the direction of Fang Ji's counter - Fang Xiaobao was standing there, pretending to have an abacus, but his eyes kept looking this way. Seeing Zhang Yangfan looking at him, Fang Xiaobao quickly lowered his head and flicked the beads on the abacus in a messy manner. Zhang Yangfan smiled. "Xiaobao, come here!" Fang Xiaobao walked over slowly, rubbing his hands with a sly smile on his face. "Xiaobao," Zhang Yangfan patted the stool next to him, "sit down. Your daughter is getting married, how can you, a father, act like a normal person?" Fang Xiaobao sat down and scratched his head. Head: "I... I'm stupid. I don't know what to say." Liu Baoting walked over from behind the counter. A woman in her thirties, radiant and charming, Fang Xiaobao looked at her with eyes that were still intoxicated. The little girl who was given away as goods is now Fang Ji's housekeeper, and everyone in Qingxi City calls her "Sister Baoting". "Brother Zhang," Liu Baoting said with a smile, "Xiaobao is like this. He is happy in his heart but can't express it in his mouth." Zhang Yangfan looked at their family. Fang Xiaobao was honest and honest, Liu Baoting was smart and capable, Fang Baobao was lively and refreshing, and there was a boy named Fang Beibei who was studying in the school. It was said that he had poor grades and had many clever ideas. He suddenly remembered that many years ago, that evening in Shenjiagou, Shen Liumei took Liu Baoting's hand and walked up to him, wanting to give his daughter to him as a girl or concubine. He said: "People are not objects and cannot be given away." Now, her daughter is getting married, and she chose her own daughter. She is a young steward who has climbed up from a clerk step by step. She is smiling and down-to-earth. Zhang Yangfan feels that the most right thing he has done in his life is not to be a general or an emperor, but to always emphasize: "People are people, not bargaining chips, not objects." "Yuan Fufu." Zhang Yangfan stood up and walked to the young man. Yuan Fufu quickly stood up straight, his back straight. Zhang Yangfan touched his cuffs, then his waist, and after touching for a long time, he took out a copper coin from his arms. He put the copper coin in his hand, looked at it, looked at it again, and then reluctantly handed it to Yuan Fufu. Yuan Fufu was stunned. Fang Baobao was also stunned. Su Yunjin looked at the copper coin and said expressionlessly: "You are so stingy about buckling and searching." Zhang Yangfan's hand froze in mid-air. Fang Ruonan burst out laughing. Zhilan also laughed, her shoulders shaking with laughter. Zhang Yangfan turned his head and looked at Su Yunjin with a look of helplessness on his face: "It's not that you have strict control. I don't have any money either." Su Yunjin said expressionlessly: "When you were the emperor, Sister Ruonan was in charge of the keys to the treasury. After you abdicated, the keys to the family's treasury were still in charge of Sister Ruonan. What are you doing? Have you ever had money? " Ruo Nan also laughed: "You are not a qualified accountant. You don't care about accounts or money." Zhilan said with a smile: "Sister Yun Jin is right, Brother Fan has never touched money in his life." Zhang Yangfan's face turned green after being exposed by his three wives. Silent: I can't beat Su Yunjin, I can't quarrel with Fang Ruonan, I can't talk to Zhilan. He turned back, looked at Yuan Fufu, and put the copper coin into his hand. "Take it. It's not a gift. I'll give it to you when you have the wedding banquet. It's a meeting gift." Yuan Fufu looked down at the copper coin in his hand, which was ordinary. "Remember," Zhang Yangfan patted his shoulder, "one of you is named Yuan and the other is Fang. You are a combination of 'outer Yuan and inner square'. You must be round on the outside and square on the inside: like this copper coin, it is round on the outside and square on the inside. People are like this, business is like this, and life is like this." Yuan Fufu held the copper coins in his hands and nodded vigorously: "Uncle Zhang, I remember." Fang Baobao felt his nose sore inexplicably. Zhang Yangfan sat back on the bamboo chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "Okay. Let's have a wedding banquet on the eighth day of next month. Go back and get ready, don't hang around here." Fang Baobao took Yuan Fufu and bowed deeply to Zhang Yangfan, and then bowed to Fang Ruonan, Zhilan, and Su Yunjin. "Uncle Zhang, aunts, let's go first. Goodbye!" The two people turned around and walked back. After walking a few steps, Yuan Fufu suddenly stopped and turned around and shouted: "Uncle Zhang! I will keep this copper coin as a family heirloom!" Zhang Yangfan waved his hand and smiled. The backs of Fang Baobao and Yuan Fufu disappeared at the intersection. The sun was just right, shining on the signboard of Fangji's old store, with gold letters on a black background, polished to a shiny finish. Fang Ruonan suddenly said: "When did you bring a penny with you?" Zhang Yangfan was stunned and thought for a while: "I don't know. Maybe you got it when you were shopping for groceries?" Zhi Lan smiled: "When did you buy groceries yourself?" Su Yunjin added: "I have never bought any in my life." The air suddenly became quiet. The three women looked at Zhang Yangfan in unison. Liu Baoting quickly pulled Fang Xiaobao's sleeve, and the two of them slipped away quietly on tiptoes, not forgetting to close the courtyard door behind them when they left. Men should not show their wealth. Zhang Yangfan regretted it a little. He sat on the bamboo chair, not looking at the three beauties opposite him, but just looking at the clouds in the sky, drinking tea slowly and not daring to make a sound. The leaves of the old locust tree rustled in the wind, and occasionally one or two fell down and floated on the stone table.
