Chapter 3296: No One Goes to the Palace for No Reason
,
Fang Yanming said angrily: "Your mother is my aunt, why am I cursing her for no reason? Don't you see how ugly my aunt's face is? In the past, my aunt could eat a big elbow and five or six big steamed buns in one meal, but now she can't even finish a bowl of rice. Don't you have eyes!"
Good intentions are not rewarded, which makes him angry.
Cousin Fang looked at Aunt Fang suspiciously. He was careless and never paid attention to details. Now that Fang Yanming reminded him, he realized that his mother's complexion was indeed not very good, and her appetite was much smaller. He didn't have the energy to eat meat, and his heart sank.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Fang looked a little uncomfortable, but she stopped being stubborn and told the truth, "I just feel uncomfortable, meat doesn't taste good, my mouth doesn't work well at all because I'm old, oh."
In fact, she has been feeling uncomfortable for more than half a year, and she thought it would get better slowly, but it got worse and worse. She thought it was because of her age, so she didn't take it too seriously. But now Fang Yanming mentioned it twice, Aunt Fang was a little scared.
She was afraid of death, and she hadn't had enough of the good days. She was also afraid of getting sick. The family finally got better conditions. If she got sick again, the family would definitely be dragged down. How could ordinary people afford to get sick!
"It's just that I'm old, what disease can I have? Yanming, you've been in the city for a long time, and you've become suspicious. Rural people are not that picky, as long as you can eat and sleep, it's fine." Uncle Fang didn't care at all, and smoked his pipe.
He sat with Fang's father, smoking until the whole house was full of smoke. The tobacco leaves were grown in their own fields, dried in a traditional way, and then cut into shreds. They were the treasures of the men in the village. Many elderly people in the village did not like to smoke filter cigarettes, thinking that the cigarettes were not strong enough, and they still liked homemade local cigarettes.
Mao Fangfei frowned slightly and went outside the yard. She did not want to breathe in secondhand smoke. This kind of homemade tobacco leaves contained more nicotine than filter cigarettes, and the harm of secondhand smoke was naturally greater. Mao Fangfei really sympathized with the women in the village. It would be strange if they were not affected by secondhand smoke all day long.
Uncle Fang did not take Fang Yanming's words seriously at all, and even thought that Aunt Fang was very hypocritical. Human life is cheap, so don't take yourself too seriously.
Aunt Fang wanted to say something but stopped. In fact, she had not slept well recently and was always flustered, but she was afraid that she would not find out what disease was found and waste the examination fee, and her husband would definitely scold her.
"Take some time to check it out."
Fang's father said so. He also felt that his sister was not well. It would be more reassuring to check it out. Fang's uncle looked a little dissatisfied. Checking up was not cheap, but since Fang's father had said so, he could not say anything. He could only respond: "Take it easy. Wait until the first month of the lunar year is over. It is unlucky to go to the hospital during the Chinese New Year."
"Yes."
Fang's father nodded, and the matter was settled.
In the next few days, Fang's family had a constant stream of guests. They were all distant relatives who had nothing to do with each other. They all came with gifts. They came from far away for no reason. Naturally, these people came not just to have a meal.
Today, the couple of Fang's mother's cousin who married to the neighboring village came to the door. Fang Yanming had not seen them for a few times, but they were still quite enthusiastic. They brought two boxes of Melatonin, which was considered a heavy gift in the countryside.
During the meal, the cousin's daughter finally told her the purpose of her visit. She wanted Fang Yanming to help her son find a job in Pingjiang that was easy and well-paid, and it would be best if the household registration could be settled.
"What is your son's educational background?" Mao Fangfei asked.
