Seeing both of them getting up, Fang Yi asked: "Mom and dad, do you want to exercise? After passing through the big aisle on the opposite side, there is a gym downstairs and a tennis court outside."
"How are you playing tennis?" Zheng Xianguo asked Fang Yi as soon as he heard that there was a tennis court.
Fang Yi smiled: "I'm not playing well. Even if I play two games with Zheng Yuan sometimes, I still lose."
"I'm going to play two games. It's boring in the room." Zheng Xianguo heard that Fang Yi could play and reached out.
In this way, the two husbands and sons-in-law changed their clothes and started to play tennis at the tennis court. When it was time to play tennis, Fang Yi was not Zheng Yuan's opponent, and the gap between him and Zheng Xianguo was even greater. Although most of them were picked up by Fang Yi
After playing ball, Fang Yi taught Lao Taishan how to ride a horse.
The tennis court became lively after two days. Uncle Fang Guozhong, father Fang Guohua, old Taishan Zheng Xianguo, and brother-in-law Chu Suiliang formed a doubles formation. Fang Yi was able to get out of the court and go for a ride on horseback in the morning.
Putting down the reins, Fang Yi allowed Mr. Wen Shun to take small steps, turned his head and asked his sister Fang Nan beside him: "I haven't ridden for so long, although I don't look like I am very handy."
"Do you think you are the only one who can ride horses? Now there are two or three horse farms in Shicheng, large and small." Fang Nan said with a smile: "Don't talk about quarter horses, there are French horses, and all kinds of trotting horses. They are better than here."
There are many more varieties, and the horses are much more beautiful.”
"Is there a horse farm in Shicheng?" Fang Yi asked curiously.
Fang Nan curled his lips and said, "How fresh it is. There are good ones and good ones, ranging from one hundred to more than three hundred an hour. There are several horse farms. Suiliang, I, Yudianer and I are all in the best one."
The racecourse has become a member, and it is much more formal than yours!" Then he talked about the racecourse.
Fang Yi nodded after hearing this: "It's much more professional than what I have here."
"By the way, there are no dividends for this year yet. Let's wait until next year." Fang Nan said to his younger brother.
"I've been running a company with you for several years and I haven't seen a penny in dividends," Fang Yi complained with a smile.
"The business is on the right track, don't you want to expand it?" Fang Nan said with a smile: "Don't talk about you, no one is getting dividends, and I only get dead wages! It will be fine after this year, I will take care of this in the future
I won’t tell you anymore, just talk to my siblings.”
After saying this, he looked at Fang Yi and said, "You and Zheng Yuan have really become friends. When I looked at the two of you before, I thought they were a good match, at least better than Mu Jin. Your personality seems to be from the same mold. When you get along,
There’s no problem getting up.”
"Isn't this an afterthought?" Fang Yi said cheerfully: "We all live together and you just said, why don't you bring the raindrops this time?".
"She's really anxious to come! She's jumping up and down to follow her. But it's neither summer vacation nor winter vacation. She has to go to class." Fang Nan said, "Not only are there classes, but there are also cram schools. Her grandparents are living with us now."
When Fang Yi heard this, he curled his lips and said, "What's the big deal about missing a few days of classes for a first-year student? Why don't we just bring him here?"
Fang Nan shook his head after hearing this: "Do you think it's enough to just attend school now? You have to go to cram school every day. If the children can't keep up, there are things that the cram school teacher will teach, but the school teacher may not.
, the tuition fee alone is less than 1,000 yuan a month, which is not enough, and if you also need to attend some interest classes, it will be even more!"
Fang Yi was shocked after hearing her sister's words: "Is it going to hurt the children like this? This isn't school, it's just life-threatening. Where do children have time to play? Isn't it killing the children's nature?" Fang Yi really couldn't think of it.
Now it's like this. When I was a child, there weren't any cultural cram schools. It was also when I was about to take the college entrance examination in high school. How come this thing started starting from the first grade?
"Don't let your children lose at the starting line." Fang Nan sighed: "What will happen if you don't go to school? If a child doesn't go to school for a month, he won't be able to understand what the teacher is saying in class. If you ask, the teacher will tell you that because
Your child didn’t go to cram school, and some things were taught in cram school. Your child didn’t hear it!”
"What the hell are you talking about!" Fang Yi suddenly became a little angry: "How can you do this! Is this still compulsory education?"
"Your brother-in-law and I discussed it, and we will send Yudian to study in the United States after she finishes elementary school. Anyway, she will be sent here in the future." Fang Nan sighed and said, "More than a hundred thousand a year."
Fang Yi said: "Money is not a problem, but can you rest assured that Yudiao is still in his teens? You are here to send it anyway, so just send it to me."
"Your sister and father and I think so too. I can take care of you by sending you here, but let's talk about it in a few years. Now the child seems to be tied to the bench all day long, looking at
I feel bad too," Fang Nan said.
"Well, you can just send it over when the time comes, and I can just say hello to you," Fang Yi said.
"Do you still have this opportunity?" Fang Nan looked at his younger brother and said with a wink.
"There is a secret to being rich in a capitalist country!" Fang Yi said with a smile: "Every year I sponsor a small amount of money to a nearby school."
This matter was not what Fang Yi thought of. It was handled by Fang Yi's accountant Charlie. Because donations involve tax exemption issues and reputation issues, Fang Yi donates such a small amount of money every year.
, the main investment is in nearby schools. You can't act rich and unkind.
With the name of a philanthropist, you can make a small mistake with this thing and give the judge a good impression. There is no guarantee that he will be able to block an arrow for you in court. This name is very important.
It's still very useful here.
For Fang Yi, this is a cost-effective deal. If he has children in the future, he will also go to school. Although the school director is not worth much money and cannot really manage the school, there is no problem at all in letting a child in. Don't say that.
In primary and secondary schools, even in the Ivy League, if you can become a school director, your children can easily get into the Ivy League. If you really think that you can only get into the Ivy League based on grades, you are too naive.
This matter has been reported countless times by the American media, but it still cannot solve the problem of backdoors, and the school has nothing to do. In order to develop and be famous, what is the lack of money? Public universities can still hope for some funding or something.
Where do private universities come from? In addition to counting on their own graduates to become successful, they also count on these rich young ancestors. Of course, Ivy League’s donation is more than hundreds of thousands, not just one or two.
feasible.
Hearing his brother's explanation, Fang Nan felt relieved: "That will be much easier to handle. Your brother-in-law and I get worried when we think about this."
"Let's see when the time is right to send Raindrops over. I'm your uncle!" Fang Yi said nonchalantly. After saying that, he picked up the horse's reins and Mr. Cui got off the horse and let the horse start to trot.
After riding a horse for a while with his sister, Fang Yi returned to the house and saw his uncles coming out after playing ball and taking a shower. He quickly greeted everyone one by one.
Fang Guozhong looked at his energetic nephew and waved to him before turning around and walking upstairs. Fang Yi naturally followed behind his uncle, knowing that his uncle wanted to ask him something.
Sure enough, they arrived at his uncle's room. Fang Guozhong pointed to the bed and motioned for his nephew to sit down, then asked: "I heard that you haven't published a work in several years, and some people outside have said some bad things."
"I haven't published a new work in a few years, and it's inevitable for others to comment on it. But it's not that I can't draw anymore, it just makes me stop and think about how to go further! Now I've figured out what the work will be next year.
Will come out," Fang Yi said honestly to his uncle.
Fang Guozhong nodded after hearing this: "You have gained such a great reputation at a young age. It's good to stop and think about it! Why didn't your teacher come this time? Was it because he wasn't invited or what?"
"The teacher is quite busy and has a lot of things on hand right now. He said he was waiting for me to come when I get married. I am waiting to take Zheng Yuan to visit the teacher and his wife with me when I go back for the Chinese New Year this year!".
It's not that Fang Yi hasn't invited the teacher, but now that Shi Yi is celebrating the reform, he really can't spare any time to come and stay at Fang Yi's place.
"Well! It's good that you haven't forgotten your teacher. One more thing, when are you going to get the certificate with Zheng Yuan? Your mother and Zheng Xianguo just hinted at it." Fang Guozhong nodded and continued to talk.
the nephew asked.
"This thing is easy to handle! Either we are dragging our feet, or I have to go to the embassy here." Fang Yi explained to his uncle that he was Chinese, but Zheng Yuan is now American, and the two of them can be considered a transnational marriage.
, this matter is a bit troublesome. In addition, during this period of time, Fang Yi has been immersed in creating new works, and he started working on three paintings at the same time. Zheng Yuan was also busy practicing piano, so he put aside this matter.
In their minds, this thing is just a piece of paper.
After hearing this, Fang Guozhong told his nephew to hurry up on this matter, and then suddenly said: "What do you think I will withdraw from the second line now?".
"Withdrawing from the second line? Have you told my dad about this?" Fang Yi looked at his uncle and was stunned.
"Don't ask this, I just want to ask your opinion! I won't quit right away. There is still a while, and I can change my job to a less expensive job in the future," Fang Guozhong asked.
I didn’t expect that my uncle suddenly thought of this thing. He had never heard of it before. But after thinking about it for a while, he became happy: "It’s good to retire. At least you have time to rest. In the past, this official was even celebrating the New Year."
You can’t even eat the New Year’s Eve dinner at home, so you should enjoy your happiness. My sister and I are the ones who are responsible for making money!”
Fang Yi doesn't know why his uncle suddenly wants to retire. He's not yet old enough. Fang Yi's temperament is not suitable for officialdom, and he doesn't understand the hard work of being an official. Fang Guohua came this time because he felt the danger based on his sensitive reaction.
Now, the so-called local faction may be facing a big crisis. Although Fang Guozhong seeks stability for his officials, some things are not just stable.
"Why don't you quit all at once? Then come to my place, play tennis with my father and my father-in-law, ride horses, and do whatever they want happily! You should continue to suffer the consequences.
What a mess, there is nothing missing at home, why are you so tired?" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said.
"Continue to stop" Fang Guozhong said a few words, then stood up and took two steps to the window. He looked out at the scenery outside the window and tapped his fingers gently on the glass.
While his uncle was thinking about things, Fang Yi could only stay quietly.
"That's fine!" Fang Guozhong thought for about ten minutes and then turned around: "Then I will move my seat for others, so as not to hinder their hands and feet!".
Fang Guozhong really felt the danger, and he also felt that it was not worth trying anymore. It didn't mean that Fang Guozhong didn't have the strength, but that it was not worth it. What's more? The four children in the family, including Zheng Yuan who just entered the family, none of them are involved in officialdom.
Of course, no one needs to stretch out their hands to pull it out. In the future, they will not make wedding dresses for others. As for life, how can the juniors still need their own help? They have lived a harmonious and beautiful life in their childhood, so why bother to work hard anymore?
This is my fate.
Although my daughter has opened a small company in China, even if I am no longer in my position, I have completely resigned and given way to others. Even if I have no power, no one can help me.
Just because Fang Yi is now an internationally renowned artist, some people who want to take action must consider what kind of trouble they will face if they start taking action against Fang Yi's property.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at my nephew who was sitting by the bed and looking at me. Unexpectedly, before I knew it, my nephew had the ability and reputation to support the family.
