Mu Lan has been graduating for two years. Fu Ping'an was originally a classmate with Mu Lan, and Jiang Yanbing was a classmate with Jiang Yanbing. Now he is a junior and Fan Dongsheng is a freshman, but their age seems to be inverted. Fan Dongsheng is the oldest, Jiang Yanbing is relatively mature. He is obviously a college student, but he looks like a white-collar beauty. On the contrary, Mu Lan, an office worker, dressed like a college student, and Fu Ping'an is always a buzz cut, military uniform, and like a dusty veteran.

Dad Jiang used a laugh to cover up his embarrassment: "Hahaha, I've misunderstood. The young man is also going to college in Ome? Come on, draw a piece to relieve the fatigue."

Jiang Yanbing said: "He is a top student in the police school and has caught a serial murderer."

"I said it, it doesn't look simple, it's so scent." Dad Jiang laughed.

Fan Dongsheng didn't take cigarettes: "Uncle, I'm still young, I don't smoke."

Jiang Yanbing winked violently, and Jiang's mother understood: "Hurry up and let the house go home, and make an appointment in two days. I've agreed to come to have fun at home."

"Come here in two days, see your uncle and aunt first." The two brothers said goodbye together, then took Mu Lan home. The car drove out far away, and Jiang Yanbing and his family could still be seen waving their hands in the rearview mirror.

"She is quite interesting to you," Mu Lan said.

Fu Ping'an refused to respond: "Mu Lan, where is your home? I remember you stayed in a Express Hotel last time."

Mu Lan said: "My mother found a job in Huaimen to be an accountant, and the house she rented was in Wenjiaqiao."

Fu Ping'an said: "Then it's very close to my house."

As I spoke, I arrived at the place. Mu Lan's mother also stood downstairs and looked forward to it. Unlike the large flat high-end community of Jiang Yanbing's family, this is an old residential area in the 1980s. The roads are narrow and it is difficult for vehicles to enter and exit.

"Child, come in and have a drink of water." Mu Lan's mother was also enthusiastic. This time Fu Ping'an actually agreed. Fan Dongsheng's eyes rolled, as if he felt something.

"Isn't this Dongsheng? Your aunt hugged you when she was a child." Mu Lan's mother said.

"I was still young at that time and I didn't remember it anymore. My aunt had time to come to my house to play." Fan Dongsheng said, and followed him into Mulan's house. This was a rental house built by someone else in the backyard. It was just a room, narrow and cramped, with an account book spread on the table. I guess Mulan could only sleep on the sofa when she went home.

Mu Lan's mother poured two cups of hot tea, and the two brothers took two sips symbolically before saying goodbye.

On the way, Fan Dongsheng said: "Jiang Yanbing's family is quite rich. That community is full of large flat floors of more than 200 square meters."

Fu Ping'an said: "Do you want to be a son-in-law?"

Fan Dongsheng smiled and said, "Aren't I thinking about you?"

When they returned to their home, they truly felt the warmth and affection. This was the happiest moment of the year for Fan Dong and Fu Dongmei. Both of them were studying in college in the provincial capital and drove an Audi car back. This show was also the only one in the entire Heping Community. When the neighbors saw a car with a license plate parked downstairs, they knew that Fu Ping'an was back and came to visit each other. Although the Fan family was shabby, they were already a wealthy family in the community.

During the meal, Fu Dongmei mentioned something: "There is a niece from Aunt Wang's house opposite. She is about the same age as you. Why don't you meet during the Chinese New Year?"

Fu Ping'an said: "No need. I'm going to college and I'll have to go to graduate school next. I don't have time to talk to each other, let alone a long-distance relationship."

Fu Dongmei said: "You misunderstood. Aunt Wang's niece is also in college in Ome. She is in her senior year, but she is younger than you. Why don't I give you her phone number and you two will chat first."

Fan Dongsheng said: "Mom, don't force my brother. You are breaking up him and Mulan, he and Mulan are living together."

Fu Dongmei was shocked: "What, why don't you tell your mother? Mulan, I know, didn't you live downstairs in our house before? It's great. Take it home for the New Year and discuss when to do business."

Fu Ping'an hurriedly explained: "It's a shared rental, not a cohabitation, but an ordinary friend."

Fu Dongmei smiled and said, "I understand, mom understand."

...

Wang Shuan's family returned home by long-distance bus, and went straight to Huangtai County. They ordered two tricycles outside the county bus station. When the family returned to the village, it was already late. Peng Yuhong cleaned up the house and Wang Shuan cooked a pot of noodle soup.

Peng Hu went out to play without eating. In winter, the men gathered together either drinking or playing cards. Playing cards was made for money. Young and middle-aged people went out to work for a whole year, and no one returned home with a full load. The second-rate people in the village set up a card game to harvest them. Often, they did not add anything to the old and the young for a year, and they lost all the money to the old and the young.

Among the fat sheep, Peng Hu. When Brother Hu shouted a few times, he was confused. He really regarded himself as his brother. He couldn't stop bragging when playing cards. The second-rate men started to urge Brother Hu to tell about the city. Peng Hu said mysteriously: "My sister is going to be a star..."

After the story was fueled by the fire, the second-rate men immediately praised: "Brother Hu is going to make a fortune. Your sister is a big star and you must not be filial to you first. You must live with the big villa first. Rolls-Royce is tight to you. If you lack a supporting role in the TV, just look for us. If you don't know how to play other people, you can play a gangster."

Peng Hu was praised to the sky, he was in a good mood and had poor card luck. He lost several games in his card game, and he lost all the hundreds of dollars he brought with him. He was about to leave the game, and he lent him three thousand dollars on the spot to continue playing.

Some people just play gambling, while others are addicted to it, and even if they lose everything, they still have to bet. Peng Hu is such a person. The more he bets, the bigger he loses, the more he loses, the more he looks red. He bets until dawn, and he has lost 500,000.

All the 500,000 yuan was recorded in the account, and the account had to be cleared before the end of the year. On a cold morning, Peng Hu took his hand and lowered his head, and walked home with a frozen hard like an eggplant made from frost. For 500,000 yuan, how many fried dough sticks have to be fried to make it back. If not, he has to find money to make money.

Peng Hu went home and rummaged through the cabinets. Peng Yuhong asked him what he was looking for. His son replied angrily: "Don't worry!"

"Ancestor, you won't bet again!" Peng Yuhong's voice was trembling in fear.

"Where did you put your gold jewelry?" Peng Hu asked. He knew that the money at home was hidden tightly, and only my gold earrings and gold bracelets could be cashed in.

Peng Yuhong knew his son's bad habits, so he quickly called Lao Wang and locked Peng Hu at home and was not allowed to go anywhere. However, he couldn't afford to lose the 500,000 he owed. The second-rate men came to collect debts. Peng Yuhong negotiated with them for two days, but it was useless. These second-rate men in the countryside were not afraid of the world. They were all difficult to deal with. It was useless to call the police. There were only eight policemen in the township police station, and they had to take care of dozens of natural villages, so they could not control them.

"It's okay not to pay back the money, let's unload your son's legs." The second-rate men said harshly and left. Peng Yuhong sighed and discussed countermeasures with Lao Wang. At this point, she still wants to have a good face and is unwilling to pay a penny.

"Otherwise, I will take Shuan Xu out and collect 500,000 yuan in bride price, and I will have the money." Peng Yuhong came up with a solution that was the best of both worlds.

"Didn't it mean that Shuan'er has to go to the art school to go to the entertainment industry for the New Year?" Lao Wang stared at his confused eyes, unable to understand why Peng Yuhong changed his orders every day, and thought about it one after another.

"Marrying will not delay her development. I will deal with her now first." Peng Yuhong said.

"Five hundred thousand... the bride price in our town is not as high as 500 thousand." Lao Wang said.

"What you said, we can't find someone who can't afford 500,000 yuan. If you want to find someone who can make money, you have a factory and a mine at home..."

After the two discussed for a while, Lao Wang suddenly remembered his daughter: "For such a big thing, I have to ask Shuan'er for his opinion."

He pushed the door and entered the house, but Wang Shuan disappeared, and along with her bag, he disappeared.

Wang Shuan knelt in front of his mother's grave with his bag on his back and kowtowed three times: "Mom, come and visit your grave when I have a chance."

He came to the grave of grandma outside and kowtowed: "Grandma, I'm leaving, you have to bless me."

When she heard the conversation between her father and Peng Yuhong, her stepmother actually wanted to use her to fill out Peng Hu's gambling debt. She was no longer angry and was extremely disappointed with the mother and her father. She was still too naive. It was impossible for a bad person to become better.

Wang Shuan stopped a car on the road and went straight to the county bus station. Here he took the intercity bus to Huaimen. It was New Year's Eve, and the sound of cannons scattered in the countryside. The last wave of people working in the city was also on the journey. There were only a few passengers on the bus back from the countryside.

Wang Shuan already had plans to eat and live tonight, so he would not bother the second master. She decided that Fu Ping'an had already decided.

...

Fu Dongmei is a thoughtful person. Fan Dongsheng talks nonsense, but she doesn't think it's a joke. As a mother, she always hopes that her son will start a family and start a business as soon as possible. The girl named Mu Lan is good. She knows her true nature and is a good match. She is in the town. She asked someone to find out that Mu Lan's mother Mu Yufen lives in Wenjiaqiao, and immediately brought a bag of fruit and went to the door.

On the New Year's Eve, Li Yufen didn't prepare too many dishes, so the mother and the mother didn't eat much, so they made a meal of dumplings together. Fu Dongmei's visit caused a big surprise, but soon the two of them started to have a relationship. After all, they used to be old colleagues and old neighbors.

"It's not lively for a few people, so I'd just go to my house to celebrate the New Year," said Fu Dongmei.

"How can I be so embarrassed?" Mu Yufen felt strange, but soon she understood.

"The two children have such a good relationship. They live together in Omi. We have to walk around often. By the way, where is Mu Lan?" Fu Dongmei looked around.

"She went out to buy things." Mu Yufen suddenly realized that this was her mother-in-law coming to the door. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her. "Okay, let's go to your family to reunite."

Fu Dongmei said: "Let's go there first and let her go there by herself."

Mu Yufen said: "Okay, I'll change my clothes."

Not only did she change her clothes, she also carried two buckets of salad oil.

"Let go, let go, we are a family, what are you going to get to the door?" Fu Dongmei firmly stopped her and went out with Mu Yufen on her back, and went out on the way: "Where has Mulan's father been recently?"

"That heartless dog, I heard that I'm divorced and got married again." Mu Yufen said, "I'll call Mu Lan and let her go directly."

When Mu Lan received a call from her mother, she was speechless. She said nothing about this and went to someone else's house for the New Year's Eve dinner.

"You can take a taxi by yourself, you know the place." Mu Yufen said.

Mu Lan had no choice but to obey her orders, bought a box of yak bone powder as a gift, and took a taxi to Heping Community. When she got home, she did not see Fu Ping'an's brothers. The family was too young and the two brothers lived in the newly bought house in Building 12.

Fu Dongmei sent her son a WeChat message asking him to come over for dinner.

Fu Ping'an also received a WeChat message from Wang Shuan, saying that he had arrived at Huaimen and was now homeless and asked to take it in.

"You go home first, I'll pick someone up and add a pair of chopsticks at home." Fu Ping'an instructed Fan Dongsheng.
