C150 Home Is the Warmest Harbor

After drinking a mouthful of Maotai, looking at the happy family, Fan Wenbin felt a little more at ease. Since young, his grandfather, Fan Zhengkun, had said a very forthright sentence, "How can a man who grew up by the Yellow River not know how to drink?" He remembered this sentence very clearly.

Later on, when he went to war in the Shang Sea, he met many different kinds of bosses. Most of them were men, and drinking became a very important part of getting closer to a business deal. Drinking a thousand glasses of wine to a confidant was very rare, and in the business world, it was very important to have connections and reputation.

Hence, Fan Wenbin's alcohol tolerance also became greater and greater. If he met a very good friend, plus he was in a good mood, it would not be a problem for him to drink 5 liters of Wuliangye Maotai and other liquor at a time.

It was just that in these few years, as he grew older, under the strict warning of his wife, Duan Xiangmei, he had to strictly control the number of times he drank and the number of times he drank in order to ensure his own health. Every time he drank, as long as he drank happily and comfortably, just right, he would stop drinking and not drink another cup.

This afternoon, just as he was about to get off work, he suddenly received a call from his wife saying that the whole family was having dinner at home tonight. She told him to hurry home once he got off work and not attend any more celebrations and banquets. She knew that since her husband was newly elected as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, there would naturally be people who would treat him to drinks in the name of congratulating him.

After hanging up the phone, Fan Wenbin could not help but feel a heavy warmth surge in his heart. He thought to himself that his young husband and wife were old friends. In today's society where favors were as thin as paper, other than parents, his wife still loved him the most.

He and his wife were both from Mei Tanxiang and were classmates in junior high. After graduating from university, Fan Wenbin worked in the County Statistics Bureau, and Duan Xiangmei was assigned to be a teacher in the County Second Senior High School. They often contacted each other, and after a few exchanges, the young people naturally created sparks of love between each other.

Later, in a fit of anger, Fan Wenbin angrily resigned from his official position. He also did not discuss with Duan Xiangmei, and went down south alone to start a business in Shenzhen. Three years later, when he returned to Daan County with great ambition, he found out that Duan Xiangmei rejected many suitors and wholeheartedly waited for his return.

This was a very rare and even very rare action. Although it happened in a relatively closed and traditional small county like Daan, in today's society that viewed love as a game, Fan Wenbin was so touched that he almost shed tears of happiness.

Therefore, on a sunny day in the spring, Fan Wenbin and Duan Xiangmei held a grand and glorious wedding in their hometown of the Fan family. Lovers finally got married, and won the envious eyes of many colleagues and friends.

After the wedding, Fan Wenbin had been busy starting a business. He borrowed money and borrowed money to set up a real estate agent company called Hua Cheng. Duan Xiangmei, on the other hand, earnestly and diligently taught in Second Senior High School. The husband and wife left early and returned late at night. Although their small lives were very poor, they were also very happy.

Later on, as their careers continued to develop, the business became more and more. Fan Wenbin's mind was focused on how to make the company bigger and stronger, and all the miscellaneous matters at home were thrown to Duan Xiangmei. He did not care about it.

Regarding this, Duan Xiangmei did not have any complaints. Other than working, she stayed at home to take care of her son, Fan Xuehua, and do housework. Sometimes, there were too many things to do in school, and she was the form teacher. She couldn't be of much help, so she called her mother over to help her take care of the child.

When she saw her son-in-law working outside all day and not even going home for a few days and nights, throwing all the big and small things at home to her daughter, her mother was so angry that she kept complaining about her daughter. She said that she was the dumbest person in the world and that she was so stupid. Why did she marry a man who didn't belong to the Gu family?

On the morning of a week after Fan Wenbin resigned from his official post and went down south to Shenzhen, Duan Xiangmei went to the single dormitory of the Statistics Bureau to find him. Only then did he learn the truth from a former colleague of his.

At that time, he felt dizzy, and golden flowers flew everywhere in front of his eyes. His throat was dry and uncomfortable. After a long while, his emotions gradually calmed down. Only then did she carry an infinite melancholy and a trace of indescribable anger. She left the county statistical bureau, a place she used to frequently come to.

Then, she rode her bicycle to the Fan household to find out where Fan Wenbin had gone. According to her very simple thoughts, it was fine if Fan Wenbin did not tell her where he had gone, but at the very least, she had to greet her parents.

However, Fan Youmin and his wife knew almost nothing about this matter. When they heard that their son dared to resign from his official post without permission and disappear without a trace, it was like a thunder strike, and they were at a loss as to what to do.

Not long after, the school released winter vacation and Duan Xiangmei returned to the West Bay. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a large pile of gifts on the table. Old Man Zhang, who had a good relationship with his father, and a young man dressed in fine clothes, were sitting in the house and chatting with his father.

After greeting him, the young man smiled and asked, "Duan, you still don't recognize me?" Then, he introduced himself, "I'm Chi Yujie, Duan, your classmate from elementary and junior high. "

Duan Xiangmei immediately remembered that this Duan Yujie and she were both from Xiwan Village, and they were indeed classmates from elementary and junior high. However, the two of them had not met for many years. If it wasn't for the fact that she mentioned it on her own accord, she really wouldn't have remembered it. There was once such a classmate.

Following which, she suddenly had a strange feeling and politely returned a smile. She then walked out of the living room and went to the kitchen. She knew the answer and asked her mother if there was anything wrong with Chi Yujie coming to the house today.

His mother smiled and told her that after he graduated from university, he was assigned to work at the West Jing City's Finance Bureau. When he returned home this time, he invited Old Man Zhang to the Duan family's matchmaker. She also said with satisfaction that party Yujie was from West Bay and knew everything about him. He had been a very loyal and obedient child since he was young.

Seeing that his mother had said exactly what he had thought, Duan Xiangmei's expression suddenly changed. In a very cold tone, he said, "I have something to do, so I have to go back to school. " After saying that, he rode his bicycle without looking back and went back to school.

Her mother never would have thought that her daughter would have such an attitude. She hurriedly chased after her, but when she saw her daughter's figure gradually disappearing, she was unable to say a word.

Later on, Chi Yujie even specially came from West Jing City to Da An Second Senior High School to look for Duan Xiangmei a few times, but he was rejected by Duan Xiangmei's tactful and firm tone. He even clearly told the other party that she already had a partner, and that she was Fan Wenbin, the Fan Family's handler.

Seeing Duan Xiangmei being so decisive, Chi Yujie's party was very decisive. He could only bitterly smile and retreat in the face of difficulties. From then on, the two of them had never met again.

On the night after their marriage, Duan Xiangmei told Fan Wenbin about this matter, causing Fan Wenbin to laugh loudly. At the same time, he proudly said, "That guy called Gang Yujie, I knew it when I was in junior high school, and he even got beaten by me. He was not as charming as me at all. " After saying that, he laughed proudly again.

"Hmph, don't always sell melons to old hag Wang. You're just boasting. " Duan Xiangmei let out a heavy cold snort and said very discontentedly, "When you were in school, didn't you often get beaten up by the teachers?"

At that time, it was the early 1980s. Students were very afraid of the teachers, and getting beaten up by the teachers was a common occurrence. Unlike now, not to mention hitting the students, even if the teachers said a few words in a very serious tone, there might be unexpected serious consequences.

Last time, Fan Xueli and Huang Yuyi had openly fought in class, scaring the class teacher, Zhang Yuqin, to cry and cry. She kept apologizing to her parents and admitting that she was wrong, but it was the best example.

This was not the end. After that, Fan Wenbin even heard his wife say that Huang Chengzong actually brought people to the school and scolded Zhang Yuqin fiercely in front of so many teachers. Only then did this matter end.

Sigh, I don't know why people nowadays are so angry. A small matter like this, sometimes, would cause trouble to the point where it could not be settled, and even cause people's lives to be lost. Such examples were too many to count.

"Besides, career and family are like fish and bear paws. We can't have both. " Thinking of this, Fan Wenbin could not help but deeply sigh. "If a man does not have any achievements in his career, he will be looked down upon by women. However, if he wants to make some achievements, but he does not care about his family, it is very difficult. It is really too difficult. "

When they got off work, Ning Peng walked into the office with a smile. He looked very happy and said in a very sincere tone, "Manager Fan, I heard that you were elected as the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. Gao Yeyong and a few other students were very happy. Tonight, we will celebrate for you at the Wulan Wine House. "

In the three-year election of the Chamber of Commerce, Huang Weidong, Pang Chengchuan, who had the highest popularity before, was eliminated. On the other hand, Fan Wenbin, who kept a low profile, unexpectedly became the new chairman of the Daan Chamber of Commerce. He broke out into a huge uproar, which greatly exceeded the expectations of many people. For a moment, Fan Wenbin had become the hot topic of discussion in the business world.

When Ning Peng heard the news, he was slightly surprised, but his mind was immediately filled with all kinds of guesses and even conjectures. Was there something shady going on here? Or was it that Deputy County Head Chen Yan Qing had done something to it?

Of course, Ning Peng was not the only one who had such thoughts. Many people, including Huang Weidong, Pang Chengchuan, and Wang Jianwei, especially the members of the Chamber of Commerce, saw Fan Wenbin's election as the result of Deputy County Head Chen Yanqing's gratitude.

This was because a few months ago, at the original Wind Lightning Factory's remodelling project coordinating meeting, which was hosted by Chen Yanqing, Fan Wenbin had stood up at the critical moment, giving the Deputy County Head enough face.

Fan Wenbin was smart and experienced. He had foresight and knew how to do things and conduct himself. Compared to him, we seem to be very slow. At this moment, many people finally understood and said with a sigh.

The moment he found out that his father had failed the election, Huang Cheng Zong, who was drinking at Crown Entertainment Club, kicked a stool over in anger and scolded in a stern voice, "Fan Wenbin, you actually did something behind his back in front of him. Treating someone from the inside as a traitor, repaying kindness with ingratitude.

Immediately after, he started to hate his father, Huang Weidong. Back then, if he had followed Huang Chengzong's plan, he would strike while the iron was hot. After taking down the piece of land in Xiwan Village, he would take advantage of the situation to take down the original Wind Lightning Factory life area remodelling project. He would let everyone in the county see the capabilities of the Huang father and son.

However, his idea seemed to be very correct today. Just as he brought it up, his father, Huang Weidong, rejected it without hesitation. He was so angry that Huang Chengzong and his father made a big fuss, but in the end, it did not have any effect.

Now, the benefits were all taken by Fan Wenbin alone. You said it was infuriating, but not infuriating? However, although he was angry, scolding was scolding. Things had already come to this point, and it did not have any effect at all. He still had to obediently admit reality. If it could be said that it could still be used. . . At most, he could only vent his anger and feel slightly better in his heart. That was all.

On the day of the election, in front of so many people, the members of the Chamber of Commerce and dozens of staff members would vote in an anonymous manner. Even if they fabricated it, they would not be able to do it. In front of so many people, in front of so many people, who would have the guts to do so?

Especially under the eyes of deputy county head Chen Yan Qing, as well as Huang Wei Dong, Pang Chengchuan, who was a big shot in the pugilistic world, unless one did not want to live in Da An County anymore, one would dare to do something that was very unfavorable to oneself.

Hence, after a few days of discussion, whether it was those who were convinced or those who were not convinced, they had to admit reality. They had to secretly admire Fan Wenbin and admire his scheming eyes. In the end, he laughed until he was truly a big winner.

And at this moment, Ning Peng had a very respectful attitude, and he said these words to Fan Wenbin. In his heart, he hoped that Fan Wenbin would participate in this celebration gathering organized by him on the account of Gao Yiyong and his other old classmates.

Seeing Ning Peng being so enthusiastic and looking like a very sincere old classmate, Fan Wenbin smiled slightly as if he understood. After a moment, he said very calmly, "This Gao Yiyong is quite well-informed. "

When he said this, he thought that in such a big place in Daan, if there was even the slightest disturbance, it would be known by everyone in less than half a day. It would also attract a lot of gossip.

He couldn't help but think that his wife had warned him very seriously over the phone that he should return home earlier and not attend any sort of banquet. However, just as he put down the phone, Ning Peng had come to invite him to a banquet that was specially prepared for him as an old classmate. Should he go or not?

Just as Fan Wenbin was in a dilemma and could not make up his mind, the phone rang very clearly again. He hurriedly took it out and saw that it was his wife's number. However, when he picked up the call, he heard his youngest son Fan Xueli's immature and domineering voice.

"Dad, you're off work now. Why aren't you home yet? My mom has finished preparing the food, and my brother is here too. I'm just missing you. Let me tell you, if you don't come home in half an hour, you'll never come back again.

After he finished speaking in one breath, before Fan Wenbin could say a word, he hung up the phone with a bang, making Fan Wenbin dumbfounded. He wanted to say a few words, but he did not know who to say it to. He could only sigh slightly and mutter to himself helplessly: "This youngest son of mine has been spoiled by me to the point of being intoxicated. "

After that, he looked at Ning Peng, spread his hands, and asked a question in a somewhat difficult manner. "Old classmate, you heard everything. If I don't go home tonight, my son won't let me come back in the future. Tell me, what should I do?"

Then, he said with regret," Tell Gao Yiyong and tell him what my old classmates think. I appreciate it. We'll meet again when we find time in the future. Tonight, I have to go home.

Hence, when Fan Wenbin returned home, the moment he entered, he saw his entire family sitting around the dining table, waiting for him. He smiled and said apologetically," I came late, so I'll punish myself with a cup of wine. "

After he finished speaking, he raised his wine cup and downed it in one gulp. At the same time, he felt that it was very spicy and comfortable, and then he looked at the happy family. He felt a little more at ease in his heart, and he thought to himself, in this very cruel world, only his own home was the best place to shelter himself from the wind and rain, and it was also the warmest harbor.
