C861 The Fan Family's Old Residence(2)
The fresh air was mixed with a faint smell of gunpowder. This was the first feeling Fann Binn had after getting out of the car. Of course, the smell of gunpowder came from the place where the firecrackers were set off. It could be said that this kind of village in the northern part of Jiangde was very certain. The natural environment was indeed not bad, and it was very suitable for people to live in.
Outside the courtyard, when Fann Binn got off the car, he discovered that there were many people standing there. There were old and young people, and all of them wore clear smiles of goodwill on their faces. At this moment, Fann Binn suddenly saw a person in the crowd with some surprise. He could not help but ask curiously, "Van De Hua? Why are you here?"
That's right, wasn't this smiling strong young man the chairman of the Dragon and Phoenix branch in Jiangde? Why would he appear in Fann family? Wait! His name was Fan Dehua, and his surname was Fan as well? Fann Binn was stunned and continued in shock, "You, you are also a member of the Fann family?"
Fan Dehua walked out from the crowd, shook hands with Fann Binn, and smiled. "Welcome. I don't even know if I should call you Sect Master Fan. Or should I call you Mr Fann? That's right. I am also a member of the Fann family. I should be the third grandson of your grandfather and brother. "
" Ha, this is really a pleasant surprise. " Fann Binn smiled at him and said, "I didn't know that there was a distant brother who joined the underworld."
"Don't you know now? Hurry up and go in. All the core members of the Fann family are waiting for you at home." Van der Hua whispered into Fann Binn's ear, "They are very happy to see you. They have been waiting for you for a long time."
Fann Binn nodded slightly and said goodbye to Fan Dehua. Then, he walked into the courtyard with Faang Yixuan and Liu Ting. The moment he entered the courtyard filled with flowers, Fann Binn saw many people. There were old people and middle-aged people. They all looked at Fann Binn. They revealed a strange and familiar smile.
Fann Tao had two big brothers, and he was the youngest in the family. However, Fann Binn's grandfather liked his third son, Fann Tao, the most. That was why when he was betrothed to the Liu family, he had decided to give it to Fann Tao instead of his other brothers. In fact, Fann Tao had always been Fann Binn's grandfather's favorite, and also the one that the family doted on the most. It was not only because he studied well and had good results, but also because of that era. Grandfather's conservative thinking was probably the reason why he wanted to pass down the inheritance of the Fann family's Book Fragrance Sect.
"Uncle, second uncle, good day." The first thing Fann Binn saw was his biological father, Fann Tao's two brothers. He greeted them warmly with a smile, "Long time no see, I'm Fann Binn."
"I know. Of course I know you are Fann Binn. Grandpa is talking to Old Man Liu in the house. I will call him out now." Eldest Uncle was around fifty years old, although he remembered that his age was not much different from Second Uncle's. However, it was obvious that his skin was rough, yellow, and he seemed to be a little old and thin.
Fann Binn knew that his eldest uncle was an honest farmer who had been farming for more than half his life. It was impossible for him not to be older. On the contrary, his uncle was a worker in the radio station. Oh, the radio factory was a factory that specialized in producing radios. It seemed to be when Fann Binn was twelve or thirteen. After the radio factory closed down, he went to the canned food factory. He had been working until now.
There was one thing Fann Binn admired about his grandfather, and it was also what he remembered the most about his grandfather. When Second Uncle was demoted, he tried all means possible to beg Fann Tao, who was in front of a small section chief, to go to the back door. He wanted to arrange a better unit for him. Fann Tao naturally agreed because of his brother's feelings, but who would have thought that his grandfather would actually call Fann Tao over and push this matter aside. His reason was that for the sake of Fann Tao's career, he should not do such a dangerous thing!
The old man's persistence and Fann Tao's until now made it difficult for people to catch any evidence. There was a very direct relationship between them. The stubborn scholar was honest and fair, which was inherent in his thoughts in the past. As a result, people often said that one person in the family was an official, and that everyone was an official. No one had ever appeared in the Fann family, not to mention that Fann Tao had already become Mayor. He even took on the role of Secretary. What kind of status did these family members have? There was no change at all.
As officials, they had to be fair and aboveboard, right from the sky, right from top to bottom, right from top to bottom, right from top to bottom, right from top to bottom, right from top to bottom, right from top to bottom. From the bottom to the right, rise from the right sky. This was what his grandfather said to his father, Fann Tao. Fann Binn only remembered it. From these things, it could be seen how stubborn Fann Binn's grandfather was. He was a man of integrity and his temper.
For this kind of person, perhaps some people would say that he was old and stubborn. Fann Binn, on the other hand, admired him from the bottom of his heart. Although he had quarreled with his grandfather before, and hated his grandfather because of Fann Tao's matter, however, on this point, Fann Binn had always respected his grandfather.
"Aiyo... Fann Binn, let Second Uncle take a good look. Tsk tsk, it has been seven or eight years since we last met. You've grown so tall and so handsome all of a sudden. " Second Uncle warmly pulled Fann Binn's hand and said with a smile on his face. " It's really..."
"It's like three seasons, Second Uncle." Seeing that Second Uncle and his workers wanted to sell literature, Liu Ting couldn't help but remind him. Second Uncle smiled awkwardly and said, " Oh yes, it was like three autumn days. Haha... Sigh, your second uncle is uncultured and used to be a worker in the country. When my head got hot, I stopped studying and went to work in the factory. This... I'm always looked down on now, hehe. Fann Binn... I heard that you are a capable person! I heard that... you set up a company and you make quite a bit of money?"
Fann Binn was stunned when he heard that. He exchanged glances with Faang Yixuan, who was beside him, before he smiled bitterly and said," What is it, Second Uncle? You still don't know about me? "
"Hey, how would a worker like us know? Your father is not willing to tell you. Your grandfather also squeaked and refused to speak. Naturally, your uncle and I don't know. It's just that I heard from the Liu Family that you not only started the company. Is it true? "
When Second Uncle said this, he said with a face full of envy, " Sigh, we, the Fann family, count you and your dad as the promising ones. One! Being a high official and being a boss at such a young age. What a pity. If your relationship hadn't been so tense... That would be a very good combination..."
Fann Binn's expression darkened. He smiled bitterly and said, "There are some things that can't be controlled by humans. What do you think, Second Uncle? Hehe, I only made a little money. It's nothing. As for eldest uncle and second uncle, how have you been these few years? "
" Hmph, what else can I do? It's tragic! "When Second Uncle said this, he secretly looked around and saw that his grandfather's figure was nowhere to be found in the crowd. He immediately complained in a low voice, "Your grandfather is a stubborn old man. You said that your father has already become Mayor. So what if he arranged a better job for his two brothers? But after so many years, your uncle is still a farmer. And I am still working in the canned food factory."
"Sigh... It's not that your uncle is greedy, it's just that the canned food factory's economy is not looking good. It's already been two months since I can give out bonuses. Right now, I can only live with the minimum insurance money of around 800 RMB per month! That unfilial son of mine is always eating, drinking, and gambling outside. If it wasn't for your distant relative, Van der Hua, protecting me in Jiangde, I would have been beaten to death long ago!"
" Oh? I remember that Liu's grades were pretty good in the past. How did he become like this?" Fann Binn really could not understand. Back when he was still young, every summer vacation, he would come to his grandfather's place to play. He would play with this Liu, Fan Hui. At that time, of course, there was still Fann Jian.
Because the three of them were quite close in age, they were the ones who played the most. He remembered that Liu Fan Hui was only four years older than him. At that time, he was the king of the children in the village. Not only did he study well, but he was also tall. Fann Binn had even admired him for a period of time. When he heard that he had become so inhumane, he also felt uncomfortable in his heart.
It had been six or seven years, because Fann Tao and his mother had divorced. Fann Binn had basically erased the Fann family from his mind. Now, he had returned to this place. His childhood memories began to slowly recover. That carefree childhood, the hot summer and the hot sun... And a bunch of frolicking childhood friends.
That beautiful childhood, when he thought of it again, had already left helplessly. The child youth from back then had already grown up. Everything had changed greatly. Everyone had their own destiny. No matter if it was good or bad...
"Second Uncle, let Liu meet me later. After all, we haven't met since we were young. He's my brother, so I naturally have to help him if I can. " Fann Binn smiled at Second Uncle and said," By the way, let Big Brother come with us. I want to reminisce about old times with them. "
"Hey, okay, no problem!" The second uncle looked excited. He said happily, "Fann Binn, I'm worried that this son will continue to be so rotten. I sincerely beg you to help him. I'll call him over in a while! "
"Hmph! Second Brother? Who are you calling?" Just as Second Uncle was nodding his head excitedly, a group of people came out from the crowd and supported themselves with crutches. An old but energetic old man. Fann Binn did not need to look to recognize that it was his grandfather.
Fann Binn's grandfather's name was Fan Jiacheng. His name sounded like the name of a rich man in a certain region. At this moment, he and Fann Binn came face to face at first glance. Very soon, an incomparably gratified smile appeared on the face of the old man.
"Father, I, I didn't say anything... You guys chat... Hehe, I'll be leaving first." The second uncle gave Fann Binn an embarrassed look and hurriedly left the courtyard with his tail between his legs. This caused at least a dozen unfamiliar relatives standing there to laugh out loud.
"Don't worry about your second uncle. He has always been like this, timid and useless." Fan Jiacheng looked at Fann Binn and said casually, "Welcome back, Fann Binn."
"Grandfather..." Fann Binn looked at Fan Jiacheng, who looked much older than before, and couldn't help but tremble in his voice.
"It's good that you are back..." Fan Jiacheng smiled knowingly and said, "I am glad that you can still call me grandpa. You have to remember that the Fann family will always be your home. No matter what conflict or dissatisfaction you have with your father, you can't lose your ancestors. "
Fann Binn nodded with some envy. He bit his lips lightly, knowing that he was too excited to speak. He was like a wanderer who had come to acknowledge his ancestors!
"I didn't call your father and family here today to avoid making you unhappy. Come, come, come in. Your Grandpa Liu happened to be at home too."
Fan Jiacheng gently held Fann Binn's hand and introduced him to him with a friendly smile. " These people standing here are all distant relatives of yours. Remember when you were young, there weren't that many people in the village, right? Hehe, some of them came to your grandfather later on. It was only after that that that the scale was developed. The old residence of the Fann family was located deep in the mountains, and they lived in poverty. It's already a very happy thing to be able to live by the city's borders. "
