Chapter 594 Family Portrait

"My wife is too virtuous ()"

At 7:30 in the morning, in the courtyard of the Fang family's old house.

The Fang family all sat around a large solid wood round table, on which was the breakfast cooked by the juniors of the Fang family and grandma.

Porridge, steamed buns, steamed buns, stir-fried ink vegetables, minced meat with sprouts,...

They are all small dishes, not high-end, but everyone in the family eats them with gusto.

Even Fang Zhulian, who had been putting on a bad face yesterday, smiled a little.

Last night, when she lived in one of the old rooms on the first floor full of resentment, her son Chen Zhilin, who was going to live in another room, suddenly ran over excitedly and took her and her husband to the next door.

There are three rooms on the first floor of Fang's old house, two of which are old bedrooms, and the remaining one is a utility room.

But when Fang Zhulian was taken to another bedroom and the utility room by her son, she found that these two damp and dilapidated rooms had taken on a new look.

The floor was laid on the ground, the walls were painted new, the furniture and beds were newly bought, and even the bedding and sheets were brand new.

Fang Zhulian was stunned on the spot.

Only then did she know that her parents had already renovated the two worst rooms in order to welcome them back.

As for why the remaining old bedroom was not refurbished together, I don’t need to think about the reasons:

Mom doesn't have a retirement salary, and my parents' savings probably aren't enough to renovate all three rooms...

"Why didn't Mom and Dad tell us these things?"

When she murmured out the question.

His son Chen Zhilin stood beside her, fell silent for a moment, and said in a low voice:

"Maybe it's because we haven't called our grandparents, and they haven't had a chance to talk about it?"

Fang Zhulian was stunned for a moment, then silently walked to the bed, bent over to caress the brand new red quilt, which was embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks.

It's just that the embroidery is poor, and the position of the mandarin ducks is a bit crooked. It looks very old-fashioned, and it can't compare with those exquisitely crafted brand quilts in the city, but Fang Zhulian recognized it at a glance, it was embroidered by her mother.

"I remember, when I was young, your grandma's embroidery work was the best in the whole village, but now she is getting old, her eyes can't see clearly, she can't embroider well..."

Fang Zhulian gently stroked the crooked and rough mandarin ducks with her fingers, tears streaming down her face.

 …

"Second sister, second sister?"

Fang Zhulian was awakened by Fang Guoyou's shout, and she looked at the third brother blankly.

"I discussed it with my elder brother. We want to stay in the old house for one more night. Second sister, how about you?"

Fang Guoyou said in a low voice, afraid that Fang Zhulian would still scream, he persuaded:

"Second sister, my eldest brother and I felt that we cared too little for our parents before, anyway, we are on holiday now, so there is nothing to do, so..."

"Okay, I also want to stay one more night." Before he finished speaking, Fang Zhulian nodded directly.

Fang Guoyou was taken aback for a moment, then said yes again and again, then turned his head and whispered something to Fang Guoqing who was sitting beside him.

Hearing this, Fang Guoqing couldn't help looking at Fang Zhulian, and seeing his second sister looking at him, he smiled at Fang Zhulian.

Fang Zhulian glanced at him, nodded awkwardly, then turned her head away.

Fang Guoqing smiled, Fang Yucheng and Guo Juan said:

"Dad, Mom, the three of us, brother and sister, discussed it. We all want to stay in the old house for one more night. Do you think it's okay?"

Hearing his words, the old lady's cloudy eyes lit up, but she didn't speak, but turned her head to look hopefully at Fang Yucheng, the head of the family.

The others also stopped their chopsticks and looked at Fang Yucheng.

The grim-looking old man picked up an ink vegetable with chopsticks, slowly put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and lowered his head to take a sip of porridge.

Then, nodded slowly.

"it is good."

"Wow, that's great! I can stay with my sister-in-law for another day!"

Zhang Yan and Zeng Li cheered in unison.

Seeing their husband and mother-in-law looking over, the two of them shut up and cheered again:

"Wow, that's great,

One more day of family reunion! "

The husbands of the two and the other elders nodded in satisfaction.

For a while, the yard was full of laughter again.

After the meal, several juniors helped grandma clean up the table and wash the dishes.

Because I got up early, it's only eight o'clock now.

Everyone was sitting in the yard chatting, when Lin Yao suddenly said to Fang Xiaole:

"Honey, can you play the erhu?"

After the initial shyness, Lin Yao is quite used to calling Fang Xiaole's husband in front of Fang's relatives.

"know a little."

Fang Xiaole nodded.

"Why don't the two of us perform a section for grandparents and everyone, you play the erhu and I sing."

Lin Yao blinked her eyes and suggested in a crisp voice.

"Wow!! So good!!!"

Zhang Yan and Zeng Li applauded directly, and even Fang Haoyu and Chen Zhilin showed anticipation on their faces.

Watching the queen's performance at such a close distance, who else can have such treatment?

"OK."

Fang Xiaole smiled and nodded, then looked at Fang Yucheng:

"Grandpa, can you lend me your erhu?"

Fang Yucheng still had no expression on his face and did not speak. He stood up and walked up to the second floor.

Soon, he came down with the erhu.

Lin Yao and Fang Xiaole smiled at each other, and when they went downstairs, Grandpa's footsteps were obviously much lighter.

"Husband, can you play the songs you wrote for me with the erhu?"

After Fang Xiaole took over the erhu, Lin Yao asked in a low voice.

"Of course, I'm your husband."

Fang Xiaole pinched her nose.

"Hate it, hee."

Lin Yao stuck out her tongue at him, and walked to the center of the courtyard gracefully. Under the eyes of everyone, the girl's figure was slim and graceful, and she asked:

"Which song do you want to hear?"

"Courage!" Zhang Yan said loudly.

"Paint your heart!" Zeng Li was not to be outdone.

"Xiao Yao, I want to hear about meeting!" Fang Shengnan also raised his hand.

"Calorie." Fang Zhulian couldn't help opening her mouth. Seeing that everyone else was looking at her in surprise, Fang Zhulian coughed and slapped her husband next to her hard.

"Female flowers."

Suddenly, an old and serious voice sounded.

Everyone turned their heads blankly and looked at Fang Yucheng.

Fang Yucheng calmly said to Lin Yao, "Your grandma likes to listen."

The wrinkled old lady sat next to her and didn't speak, she just smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Then it's a woman's flower."

This time the others had no more objections.

Lin Yao and Fang Xiaole were about to start,

Just as the two were about to start, Zhang Yan weakly raised her hand and asked, "Brother Xiaole, sister-in-law, can you take pictures and videos? Don't worry, I will never show them to others."

Lin Yao smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Zhang Yan cheered and took out her mobile phone. Zeng Li and Third Uncle also took out their mobile phones and prepared to record.

Lin Yao turned her head to look at Fang Xiaole, and saw that he was sitting upright on the stool, with the erhu on his lap, and they looked at each other and smiled.

The slightly hoarse and melodious erhu sounded, and with the prelude, Lin Yao's temperament changed suddenly, as if standing on a brightly lit stage, from a sweet and lovely girl next door to a dignified and elegant singing queen.

"Wow, this aura..."

Zhang Yan and Zeng Li opened their mouths wide. At this moment, the dazzling star on TV finally stood in front of them.

"I have a flower, which is planted in my heart, ready to bloom quietly..."

Lin Yao's red lips parted slightly, and a beautiful and magnetic voice flew out of her mouth, wafted in the yard, and floated into every ear and heart.

"The flower of a woman, swaying in the world of mortals, the flower of a woman, gently swaying with the wind..."

Unknowingly, everyone sang softly along with Lin Yao.

While singing, Lin Yao walked in front of her grandpa and grandma, gently held grandma's hand, and put her hand into grandpa's.

Grandma was a little surprised and a little shy, and grandpa was also surprised, but he didn't let go. Grandma turned to look at him, their eyes gradually softened, and their smiles gradually bloomed.

On both sides of grandparents are the three brothers and sisters Fang Guoqing, Chen Zhilin, Fang Haoyu, Fang Shengnan, Xiong Sangou, and Fang Xiaole who is playing the erhu...

The whole family was framed into the phone by Zhang Yan, who was squatting on the ground.

"Fate does not stay, it comes and goes like a spring breeze, women are like flowers and dreams..."

When Lin Yao sang the last line, a tear slipped from the corner of grandma's eyes, but her smile became brighter and brighter.

With the end of the song, this timeless picture was recorded by the camera and turned into a family portrait that will be passed down for many years.
