Chapter 1819 The Making Things Difficult Begins
Fang Zhengming is also in his forties, and looks similar in age to Fang Yuansheng. His cultivation level is stronger than Fang Yuansheng's, and has reached the peak of Gangjin. The other person is a few years younger, but still He is in his early forties, his strength is similar to Fang Yuansheng, and he is also in the middle stage of Gang Jin.
Xiao Bing probably also knew that the man next to Fang Zhengming was called Fang Zhengshen. He was also the son of Fang Yuansheng's second uncle. He and Fang Zhengming were brothers, and usually the two of them were extremely repulsive to Fang Yuansheng's family.
Fang Zhengshen and Fang Zhengming hadn't seen Xiao Bing yet. They only saw Fang Yuansheng, his wife and Fang Yi who were walking in the front. Their eyes glanced at Fang Yi, and then Fang Zhengshen snorted coldly and said: "Fang Yuansheng, although you are me Cousin, but I also have to talk to you, what’s wrong, your family of three is the only one who came back for my grandpa’s birthday? Where is your eldest daughter? Why isn’t Fang Yuanyuan here? "
"Yes." Fang Zhengming frowned and said with some displeasure, "I have long seen that Fang Yuanyuan is very dissatisfied with us uncles and the like. After all, they are children from the city, and they look down on farmers. It's normal, but her great-grandfather didn't come back for his birthday. Isn't this a bit too lawless? Fang Yuansheng, this is the fault of your education."
Fang Yuansheng smiled lightly and said: "I think my two cousins may have thought wrong. My daughter has already come back. Oh, she is walking with her friends behind!"
Just as Fang Yuansheng finished speaking, he heard Fang Yuanyuan's voice coming from behind Fang Yuansheng and others: "I'm here!"
Fang Yuanyuan appeared holding Xiao Bing's arm, looking very intimate. Fang Yi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her sister would become so natural so quickly. It was simply not in line with her sister's character.
Xiao Bing smiled, Fang Zhengming and Fang Zhengming nodded, and then glanced at Fang Yuanyuan, his eyes full of doting.
Fang Yuanyuan only felt her heart pounding, and thought to herself, this brother Xiao Bing, why is his eyes so gentle? Most girls probably can't stand this. No wonder Sister Ye is so beautiful that she fell in. I have to be careful. , but you can’t also fall into the trap.
Fang Yuansheng and his wife were even more surprised. Fang Yuanyuan's performance could only be said to be barely passable, but looking at Xiao Bing's doting look, if they didn't know the truth in advance, they would probably think that Xiao Bing was really Fang Yuanyuan's boyfriend. Friends, and two people should love each other life and death.
Fang Zhengming looked at Xiao Bing curiously and asked, "Are you Yuanyuan's partner?"
"Yes, uncle." Xiao Bing smiled politely and nodded.
Fang Zhengming snorted, turned around and walked towards the yard, saying, "Everyone, come in!"
Fang Zhengming and Fang Zhengshen were walking in front. Fang Zhengming saw several young men competing in martial arts in the yard, so he said to one of the young men: "Fang Zhi, go tell your great-grandfather that your uncle's family is also They’re all back.”
"Oh." A young man in his twenties who was doing the work agreed. He glanced at Fang Yuansheng and others, then agreed, and hurriedly walked into the second floor.
Mother Fang frowned, feeling like she was holding back her breath, and said, "Zhengming, your son can't even say hello when he sees his cousin now. Isn't it too rude?"
Fang Zhengming hummed, unable to refute anything, and just said, "I'll tell that brat later."
Seeing that Fang Zhengming had said this, Fang Yuansheng squeezed his wife's hand, almost forgetting it.
Xiao Bing looked around. The yard was about the same size as the Xiao Mansion. There were many vegetables planted in the yard and peppers were hanging. It felt like a farmyard at first glance, but the difference was that there was a large area left in the yard. There is a large open space, and there is a weapons rack standing on the edge of the open space, with various weapons placed on it. You can see swords, guns, swords and halberds on it.
Xiao Bing secretly nodded. Although the Fang family may not be considered the most outstanding in the world of martial arts, it seems that they are indeed a family with deep-rooted thoughts on the inheritance of martial arts. Unfortunately, it is no longer the ancient times. society, even in ancient times, most dynasties valued civility over military affairs. A country cannot be without blood, but if you want to rely on blood to guide the country, then this country is not far from the end of the road. .
Just like the Soviet Union decades ago, it was a superpower that could rival Country M, and it was a fighting nation full of blood. Their rise was due to this blood, but the collapse and division of their country was also due to In this regard, if they had chosen the same path as China later, giving priority to economic construction while expanding military strength, the Soviet Union might not have disintegrated in the end, but would have had another ending.
There is a similar thing in Chinese history, even more radical, that is, during the Yuan Dynasty, that dynasty was crazy about military expansion and used force to govern the country. In the end, it only existed for 97 years before it was overthrown.
Therefore, it is not that force cannot be used, but if a country wants to develop in the long term, it must rely on brains and wisdom. This is the real kingly way, and this is even more true in today's society. In the era of high technology, martial arts It was mostly prepared for physical fitness, but the Fang family clung to martial arts. I don’t know how many generations of people have stayed in the small town to practice martial arts, but Fang Yuansheng had the courage to leave here to pursue other pursuits. The descendants of this life will be ostracized, and Xiao Bing doesn't know whether to admire them or call them ignorant.
Because Mother Fang had just expressed her dissatisfaction, there were three young people in the yard just now. Except for Fang Zhi, who went to inform today's birthday girl, the other two people hurriedly came over and said hello to Fang Yuansheng and his wife. One of them seemed to have a more attitude. The other one was perfunctory, and the other one was respectful. It was indeed the respectful look of a junior facing an elder.
Fang Yuansheng introduced Xiao Bing to these two people, and then also introduced the identities of the two young men. It turned out that the one with a more respectful attitude towards Fang Yuansheng was the only son of Fang Yuansheng's brother Fang Yuanba, while the other one was It was Fang Yue, Fang Zhengshen's only son.
Xiao Bing took a look and found that there were four brothers in Fang Yuansheng's generation. Among them, Fang Yuansheng and Fang Yuanba were brothers, and Fang Zhengming and Fang Zhengshen were brothers. Except for Fang Yuansheng's two daughters, there were several other people in the family. They all have only one son. It seems that the old Fang family's ability to spread branches is not very strong. Otherwise, if they can have a second child, wouldn't people with traditional ideas like them not want to have a second child? I am afraid that I would like to have multiple children to inherit the incense and pass on the martial arts.
But at least the children of the other three people all have one son. Maybe it is on this point that Fang Yuansheng suffers a disadvantage. He is the only one who does not have a son.
Among the three young people of the same age, Fang Zhi has the highest strength, reaching the peak of Dan Jin. The other two are all in the middle stage of Dan Jin. But even so, they are much stronger than Fang Yuanyuan. However, with Xiao Bing's With a keen eye, although their strength is much higher than Fang Yuanyuan's, their talents are actually not as good as Fang Yuanyuan's. It's just that they may have received the best martial arts instruction since they were young, and judging from Fang Yuansheng's attitude, He does not particularly support his daughter's martial arts practice, so Fang Yuanyuan's resources are somewhat inferior in comparison.
Fang Yuansheng asked: "Where are my eldest brother and my second uncle?"
Fang Zhengming said: "They are all in the house, let's talk after we go in."
Fang Yuanyuan explained to Xiao Bing in a low voice beside her that it turned out that Fang Yuanyuan's grandfather was no longer there. Fang Yuanyuan's grandfather was called Fang Yuejin and he was a warm-hearted person. Before Fang Yuanyuan was born, a landslide occurred in a village below, and many villagers were There was danger. When Fang Yuejin heard about it, he rushed over to save people. As a result, he saved the lives of several villagers, but he died there. Faced with such a natural disaster, even a martial artist like him The person also seemed very powerless.
Fang Yuanyuan's grandfather also had a younger brother, Fang Zhengming and Fang Zhengshen's father, named Fang Yueyan, who is still alive today.
The eldest brother Fang Yuansheng was talking about was none other than Fang Yuanyuan's uncle Fang Yuanba. This Fang Yuanba had a very fiery temper and had a deep relationship with Fang Yuansheng, but he was also a stubborn person. Although he had not made things difficult for his younger brother and his family in recent years. , but he didn't play a big positive role when their cousins made things difficult for their own younger brother.
Everyone entered the house together. The living room was relatively clean and the decoration was simple. An old man in his sixties or seventies was sitting on the sofa talking to an extremely rough-looking man. When this rough man saw Fang Yuansheng come in, He immediately stood up and called "big brother".
Fang Yuansheng's face showed a trace of warmth, and he said with a smile: "Hey, big brother!"
It seemed that this person was Fang Yuanba. He glanced at Fang's mother again and called sister-in-law. Then when he saw Fang Yuanyuan and Fang Yuanyuan, his tone became slightly indifferent and said, "You are back too, oh, Who is this?"
Fang Yuanyuan said happily: "He's my boyfriend!"
Xiao Bing secretly thought, this little girl learns very quickly.
Fang Yuanba hummed, not making things difficult, but not very enthusiastic either.
The sixty or seventy-year-old man sat on the sofa, looked up, and said calmly: "Yuan Sheng, tell me, you are considered a high official now and you are not too old. Why don't you want another one?" Son, let’s see if we can have a son so that he can inherit our Fang family’s martial arts? The Fang family is a famous martial arts master, and your family can’t do it with just two little girls.”
Mother Fang felt angry when she heard this. Fang Yuanyuan was about to go up and speak angrily when Xiao Bing held her hand down and shook her head. The warmth and calmness in her eyes made Fang Yuanyuan temporarily suppress her heart. Despite his anger, he chose to trust Xiao Bing.
