Chapter 163 Old Master Wang
Chapter 163 Old Master Wang
The first guest to arrive was Mr. Fang's old comrade-in-arms, surnamed Zhao, whom Feng Qingqing called Uncle Zhao.
He chuckled and joked with Old Master Fang, saying that he was lucky to have found such a beautiful daughter at his age, which made him extremely envious.
At the same time, he glanced at Feng Qingqing a few times and realized that this girl was the one the Fang family had asked him to arrange for her to work at the county hospital a few days ago.
He looked at the girl; her eyes were clear and her demeanor natural. She seemed to be a good girl.
Moreover, I heard that it was used to treat Old Master Fang's illness, so the doctor's skills must be quite good.
He and Old Fang had known each other for most of their lives, and he knew his character well. He knew that the girl must have caught his eye in every way, which was why he held such a grand family reunion banquet.
The Fang family's three sons are all outstanding in their respective fields. Such a family would not easily find themselves an unreliable relative and cause unnecessary trouble.
After Mr. Zhao entered the restaurant, many of Mr. Fang's old friends and acquaintances arrived one after another.
Most of them were Mr. Fang's old comrades-in-arms.
Looking at these people, Feng Qingqing felt a deep respect.
I have deep respect for the contributions these people have made to the country.
She noticed that several elderly people, despite feeling unwell and needing assistance, including one who was even in a wheelchair, insisted on coming over, suggesting a very close relationship with Mr. Fang.
Sure enough, the old man in the wheelchair saw Grandpa Fang from afar and his expression became somewhat excited.
The old man in the wheelchair, surnamed Wang, is not from this county, but from a neighboring city.
The journey was not easy, but Grandpa Fang and Grandpa Wang were in the same company when they were young, and later fought side by side for many years. They were like brothers who had been through thick and thin together.
Having not seen each other for many years, and hearing that his old friend was unwell, Mr. Fang had his reasons for calling him over.
Both men were quite excited to see each other. Old Master Wang knew that his health had deteriorated significantly in the past two years, and this meeting might be the last time he would see his old friend.
Upon hearing Old Fang's invitation over the phone, he agreed to come without hesitation.
No matter how his children tried to stop him, he wouldn't change his mind and insisted on coming.
The two held hands tightly, speechless for a long time.
Feng Qingqing was moved by their deep friendship, a bond that could only be formed through life-and-death experiences.
At noon, after all the guests had arrived, Feng Qingqing helped the old man slowly walk into the restaurant.
At this time, all six tables in the restaurant were full of people.
This is the number of people that Grandpa Fang and his three sons have repeatedly calculated and simplified.
After the banquet began, Old Master Fang stood up and said a few words:
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone here today for coming to support my family reunion banquet with my goddaughter Feng Qingqing."
From now on, Qingqing is my own daughter.
I also ask all my relatives, friends, and old buddies to take good care of her in the future.
Thank you in advance.
After he finished speaking, he first drank a cup of tea.
He said this to reassure Feng Qingqing.
The Fang family didn't just adopt her as their goddaughter because of the old man's medical treatment; they genuinely considered her family.
Then, Old Mrs. Fang also picked up her teacup and stood up. She first looked around before smiling and speaking:
“My husband’s words are my words. My husband and I will have another daughter from now on, and we hope everyone will take good care of us.”
Feng Qingqing probably understood what the two elderly people were thinking. Tears welled up in her eyes. Since her parents passed away, she had rarely felt any love or care from others.
She had always thought she was strong, but seeing an elderly couple in their sixties doing so much for her, she suddenly realized that she still longed to be cared for by her parents and grandparents.
She secretly vowed in her heart: she would treat Mr. and Mrs. Fang with sincerity from now on.
Those present were slightly shocked to hear the elderly couple say such things.
There are similar family reunion banquets around them, most of which are considered grand enough to be a simple meal and introduction.
But not only did Grandpa Fang invite all his close friends and acquaintances, the elderly couple also said these words in their opening remarks.
These words are quite unusual; aside from one's own children, no one would say such things.
Therefore, they all turned their attention to Feng Qingqing, wondering what was so special about this young woman in her early twenties that made the couple make such a statement.
Despite this thought, everyone quickly raised their glasses to warmly congratulate the elderly couple on the birth of their daughter.
Their behavior shows that they genuinely treat their newly adopted daughter as a close relative.
This means the Fang family has truly gained another daughter.
The atmosphere became even more enthusiastic after the elderly couple spoke.
Feng Qingqing was led around the room several times by her three older brothers to familiarize everyone with her before finally returning to the elderly couple's seats to begin their meal.
The elderly couple felt sorry for Feng Qingqing, who had drunk a lot of water without eating.
However, there was no other way but to ensure that every household knew and was familiar with Feng Qingqing in this situation, so that they would pay more attention to her.
This process is mandatory.
The lively banquet finally came to an end around 1 a.m.
Feng Qingqing told the two elderly people to rest for a while, and she and her three brothers stood at the door to see off today's guests.
After the three siblings saw all the guests off and returned to the lobby, they saw the old man and Mr. Wang, who was in a wheelchair, chatting animatedly.
Feng Qingqing later learned that this Uncle Wang had come all the way from out of town specifically for her family reunion banquet.
I don't plan to go back today. I'll stay a couple more days to have a good time with Grandpa Fang before heading back.
It was still before 2 p.m., and everyone suggested that they go back to the old man's house and continue chatting.
Everyone readily agreed.
It was an hour later when the whole family was seated back in the Fang family's living room.
Feng Qingqing originally wanted the two elderly people to go back to their rooms to rest for a while, but Grandpa Fang was in high spirits and in a great mood after seeing so many old friends today, and he refused to go back to his room no matter what she said.
Moreover, one of his sworn brothers was sitting inside, insisting on having a lively chat in the living room.
But she noticed that although Uncle Wang was chatting with the old man with a smile, he was talking more about the old man. She just listened with a smile and didn't say much, occasionally chiming in.
She also noticed that the old man occasionally frowned, though not obviously, but it was still noticeable.
It must be something wrong with my body.
Following behind Uncle Wang was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had a face somewhat similar to Uncle Wang's, so he must be a direct descendant.
Although he had no expression on his face, it was clear that his eyes were constantly falling on Uncle Wang sitting in front of him.
I must be very worried about Uncle Wang.
A few days ago, after receiving a call from Grandpa Fang, his family, considering his health condition, strongly disagreed with his trip.
But no matter how much they tried to persuade him, the old man insisted on staying.
