Originally, Mo Xinlan wanted a nanny to follow Lin Ning back, but Lin Ning refused. In the city, this might not be a big deal, but in the countryside, especially with Yu Fan. There will be a lot of discussion in the family. After all, Yu Fan’s current mother is a stepmother.
In fact, Yu Fan doesn't feel much like a stepmother towards his current mother. Although she is illiterate, she has been very good to the Yu Fan brothers since she was a child. She can be regarded as a rural woman with a duty. This is reflected in these two days of getting along with each other. , Lin Ning also had very deep feelings, and the relationship between the two gradually became better.
"Our mother is a good person," Lin Ning held Yu Fan's arm and gently leaned her head on his shoulder. Lin Ning said with a smile as she walked. Yu Fan nodded and said with a smile, "I know this. We two brothers She has brought them up since she was a child. Although she is not her biological child, there is no difference, and we respect her very much."
Speaking of this, Yu Fan thought for a while and said: "Xiao Ning, I'm going somewhere soon, so I won't accompany you. You can have a good rest at home." After hearing this, Lin Ning glanced at him and said: "What? Can't you take me with you?" Hehehe smiled, Yu Fan looked at her and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I just went to worship at Dai Lao's grave. You know the relationship between Dai Lao and grandpa, I'm afraid you will go It will be sad,”
Her face darkened, Lin Ning nodded and said: "I know, then I won't go," as if she didn't want to talk too much about this topic. She shook her head and looked at Yu Fan with a sweet smile, and said: "Our dad is going to pick up grandpa. "Grandma, you have to come back soon," he nodded softly, but Yu Fan sighed secretly in his heart. It seems that the silly girl has not really been freed from the pain of Mr. Lin's death, and everything takes time.
When he came to Dai Lao's tomb again, Yu Fan didn't bring anything else, just a few bottles of wine. Chinese people who visit tombs like candles, ingots, incense and other things, and they will burn some ghost papers and so on. But when Yu Fan saw it, Come on, Dai Lao will definitely not like him bringing these things. Maybe he would prefer Yu Fan to bring him some tea, but Yu Fan thinks that the wine might be better at this time.
Rows of tombstones are covered by reeds growing around them. The wildly spreading weeds on the slopes also bear witness to the growing season of all things. Sitting on the grass in front of Dai Lao's tombstone, Yu Fan gently leaned against the tombstone. , didn’t say anything, just sat so quietly, and after a long time he stood up, unscrewed all the wine he had brought, and slowly poured it around all the tombstones until all the wine drained. The last drop of wine fell to the ground.
Before leaving, Yu Fan bowed deeply to each tombstone. When Dai Lao took his last turn, his eyes became wet unconsciously. I don’t know since when, every time he came to this place Yu Fan felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. At first, it might have been because of respect, but now even he himself couldn't figure out why. Maybe it was because of respect, or maybe it was because of something else.
Slowly walking to the road, Yu Fan couldn't help but look back and glanced here. Vaguely, maybe because of his dazzling eyes, he seemed to see Mr. Lin. At this moment, Mr. Lin and Mr. Dai were smiling and drinking together, surrounded by people. There were also some vague figures. The two old men seemed to have noticed him. They looked at each other and smiled at him. When they rubbed their eyes and looked again, everything had disappeared, but Yu Fan had a smile on his face and turned around. He turned around and walked forward without looking back.
When I got home, my grandparents had already arrived. The two old people seemed very happy to see Yu Fan. However, Yu Fan clearly felt that the two old people were much older. Yes, it was not only the grandparents who were much older. , his father is slowly getting older, and maybe one day he will be slowly getting older too. Thinking of this, Yu Fan couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
The two old men had always liked their granddaughter-in-law very much. In addition, Lin Ning was pregnant now, which made the two old men even more darling. They held Lin Ning's hand and asked questions, laughing from ear to ear. , and the smile on Lin Ning's face was obviously more than before, and her coquettish behavior from time to time made the two old people happy.
Seeing all this in Yu Fan's eyes, he was even more pleased with his wise decision to bring Lin Ning back. It not only helped Lin Ning get over the pain of Mr. Lin's death, but also allowed her grandparents to enjoy the happiness of family and make up for it. He fulfilled the filial piety that he was supposed to fulfill, and it was so perfect that everyone was really happy.
Even so, Yu Fan still greatly underestimated Lin Ning's charm. From the time when Yu Fan could remember, the two old people have been very stubborn people. Although they have many children, the two old people will never do it because of their own. Things are troublesome for them, not to mention someone's home to live in when they are older. Even asking two old people to live for a while on a normal day is very difficult. That is, during the Spring Festival every year, grandparents will meet because their father is a member of the family. The eldest brother went to his own house to stay for a day or two. Normally, they would rather live in an old house in the countryside of Yujiawan, and no one could persuade them.
But today, the two old people seemed to be in trouble. Lin Ning's hard work made the two old people reluctant to stay. In fact, the most important thing was the child in Lin Ning's belly, the temptation of being able to hold a great-grandson. , I am afraid that no old man can stop it, and Yu Fan and Yu Xianyi are happy to see all this. Over the years, the Yu family people have thought of many ways because of this matter, but they have all taken action. Despite the two old men's thoughts, they did not expect that Lin Ning's arrival would fulfill their long-cherished wish.
In the evening, Yu Fan's younger brother also brought his daughter-in-law here with a big belly. Yu Wei got married earlier than Yu Fan, so Yu Fan's sister-in-law had a much bigger belly. She looked like she was about to give birth. Two pregnant women The communication between them was also lively, which also pushed the cheerful atmosphere at home to a climax.
After staying at home for two days, Lin Ning's adaptability was obviously much better than Yu Fan expected. This also allowed Yu Fan to return to Lanjiang City in advance with peace of mind. However, Lin Ning was worried about Yu Fan's departure. She still seemed a little reluctant to leave, but she was not ignorant. After telling Yu Fan to go home when the child was born, she waved goodbye to Yu Fan.
At the airport in Chennan City, the capital of Nanfeng Province, secretary Kang Ziye has been waiting outside the airport for a long time. Kang Ziye is a smart man. What it means to him to be Yu Fan's secretary, he knows better than anyone. For this reason, he has no choice. Don't ask Qi Yuan about Yu Fan's preferences and some things that secretaries should avoid. Of course, Qi Yuan knows everything about his old classmate. After all, he recommended Yu Fan to him. If something goes wrong, I also have no face in front of my old boss.
Seeing Kang Ziye, Yu Fan just nodded lightly. This was not because he had any objections to Kang Ziye, but that every new secretary should have a period of observation. If he wanted to gain his trust, he should always do something to gain his trust. The secretary's job is not that easy to do for things you trust.
Although the contact time was not very long, Kang Ziye's work during this period was still satisfactory. He would regularly report to Yu Fan on some situations that happened in Lanjiang City every day. In this regard, he completely inherited Qi Yuan's habit, and for this At one point, Yu Fan was also very satisfied.
Sitting in the car, Yu Fan listened to Kang Ziye's report, nodded softly, and finally asked with a smile: "How is it? Qi Yuan's work there is going well, right?" Kang Ziye nodded and said: " After Secretary Qi arrived in Huanbei Town, he carried out drastic reforms in some of the original institutions, streamlined and reorganized some departments, eliminated some unqualified cadres, and hired some young and capable people through open recruitment to the society. Cadres, the opposition was relatively loud at first. Some of the dismissed cadres caused trouble in the district. Some standing committee members in the district also criticized the matter. But later, the reforms in Huanshan Town began to take shape. As a result, this opposition voice slowly subsided,"
Yu Fan chuckled when he heard this, "It's not surprising that there are people who oppose it. In the early days of our reform and opening up, there was a lot of opposition, but facts have proven that without reform and opening up, our country's economy would not be able to make the progress it has today. It's just that Qi Yuan's steps were a little too big, and it disturbed the interests of some people, which made them jump over the wall in a hurry, but I'm surprised that the actions in Huanshan Town have achieved results not long after they started."
Kang Ziye explained with a smile: "During your absence, a company has risen rapidly in Nanfeng Province. They mainly focus on small and medium-sized supermarket chains. They have sprung up all over the province. Our city's Huanbei Town is one of the places they chose,"
Yu Fan was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Oh, there is such a thing, what kind of company is this?" Kang Ziye smiled and said: "I have already checked, it is the 'Mortal Group' in Central South Province, but As far as I know, this company is mainly engaged in catering business in Central South Province, but when it came to Nanfeng Province, it opened a supermarket, and its goal is very clear, mainly focusing on second-tier cities, and even some Counties, cities and towns with better economic conditions all have their chain stores,”
These words made Yu Fan smile bitterly. Isn't the 'Mortal Group' the group just established by Ruan Mingyan and the others? I remember when I first came up with this name, Yu Fan thought it was a bit funny. He didn't expect that Ruan Mingyan was also a vigorous and resolute person. They said they wanted to start a business and they actually started doing it. However, Yu Fan was curious as to why they would think of running a supermarket.
