Chapter 248: Marriage by the Lake
"Why? My eyes are not in place? Didn't I make a code with you?"
Susan hugged the sleeping Yusheng, walked into the bedroom, covered the quilt, and then walked out and said, "That's your ex-girlfriend!"
Seeing Xia Liu's "um", Susan muttered, "You have a lot of love history! Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's late at night, good night. ”
Seeing Susan walk into the bedroom and close the door, Xia Liu said helplessly outside, "How can I sleep when you close the door?"
"Honey, just sleep on the couch!"
Hearing Susan's answer, Xia Liu almost fell to the ground, muttering: "A woman's heart, a needle under the sea!"
Lying on the sofa, Xia Liu looked at the ceiling thoughtfully, thinking of his words with her, the mountains and seas, and the sweet words, all of which were floating clouds. Today, people are still the same, and their hearts are the same. Although they are on the same road, they are strangers .......
In the morning, after receiving a Rolls-Royce from his father-in-law, the excited Xia Liu carried his wife and children and wandered on the highway.
In the afternoon, after sending Susan and Yusheng back to the UK, Xia Liu drove to the community. Seeing the outside sitting outside the house basking in the sun, his mouth chattering, coughing, and chatting with his grandfather.
And there was a beautiful and moving girl standing next to her, Xia Liu knew that it was his cousin Xu Daier, but he did not come forward to greet him, but recalled the past:
When I was in elementary school, my mother was not at home, so I accompanied my grandfather to my grandfather's house in the summer.
My grandfather's house is located in the beautiful village of Xujia, where there is a beautiful natural lake called Marriage Lake. The lake is extremely extensive, and according to Xia Liu's estimates, it is at least more than 100 li.
The lake is surrounded by verdant willow trees, which were planted by the locals to protect against flash floods and mudslides.
The converging rivers flow to the branches of the natural lake, creating a source of groundwater that provides fresh water to the people around it.
For generations, Xujia Village has lived on the water of the lake. The abundant water sources and rivers that extend in all directions bring a lot of seafood to the people here. And most of the transportation here is by boat.
Therefore, most of the women here have the softness of water, and their eyes are as clear and moving as water. Men mix water and mountains, creating a kind of rigidity and softness. The villages within a radius of 100 miles are all proud of marrying a woman from Xujia Village, and they are all proud of marrying to Xujia Village.
The upper reaches of the lake are soft fields, where people use them to grow chestnuts, glutinous rice, and wheat. The unique planting method and natural artificial planting have also made Xujia Village a well-known hometown of rice.
The lower reaches are mountainous, uneven terrain, forming countless pools of different sizes.
Under the shade of willows, it has become a paradise for men and women to swim. At noon, men and women come here in the sun, and the men swim in swimming trunks like warriors in the deep water. The girls wore their long hair tied up like white swans, wiping their fair complexion in the bright sun.
Although they could hear each other's laughter not far away, they couldn't see each other. If both parties are interested, they will wait for someone to come out, listen to the voice, and discern the appearance. If you look at it, then the parents of both sides will not object. And this method has been passed down in Xujia Village for two hundred years.
At that time, it coincided with a flood, and the lake flooded the fields. Xia Liu, who was only ten years old, and his cousins came to the lake to collect shells, but they got stuck in the quagmire, and they just made fun of them stupidly.
Seeing Xia Liu's turmoil, his body sank half, and in a hurry, the children went home and called the adults, and when they came, Xia Liu's body had sunk to his neck.
Xia Liu, who came out of the quagmire, had a look of horror in his eyes, and at this time, he felt that death was so close to him for the first time. That feeling, like a sick person, waiting for death to come. Like an old man on the verge of death, his lower body is numb and his breathing is compact.
Frightened, he returned to his grandmother's house, only to be reprimanded by his grandmother and teased by his friends, and since then, he has not been able to swim and has never been to his grandmother's house again, until now .......
"What's the matter, dumb, and you don't say hello when you see Daile?"
Xu Fanghua walked out of the house, saw that Xia Liu was indifferent, and blamed him. After the reluctant Xia Liu called out to Dai'er in a flat tone, he sat down next to his grandfather.
Xu Daier, who was standing next to her grandfather, looked at the silent Xia Liu, and her mind seemed to return to the time when she was young, Xia Liu, bare-chested, walking in front with her brothers, and her young self kept chasing their figures, laughing.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
Turning around, Xu Yunmeng pulled his throat and looked at his grandson seriously, he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, and he had almost forgotten what Xia Liu looked like.
"Grandpa is in good health, but, Liu'er, listen to your grandfather, are you still worried about what happened back then?"
Xu Dai'er chuckled and said, "You are so timid, I told you not to move, you have to move, otherwise it will sink." ”
Xia Liu said with a smile: "Grandpa said that he was joking, I will still remember the matter of Chen sesame and rotten grain." By the way, my cousin works in Jicheon?"
Xu Fanghua took over and said, "No, Dai'er is studying at Jichuan University and is a freshman this year." ”
Xu Fanghua glanced at his son, saw that he didn't react, and continued: "I can't live at home, so I plan to buy a house for your grandmother, No, it's not far away." ”
"Well, you can do it!"
Seeing that Xia Liu couldn't get along, Xu Fanghua was anxious and said, "Your brother's company has just started, and he can't get so much money for a while. Your second brother doesn't have a job, he just goes to Yuqing's company to make a living. ”
Xia Liu, who understood it, finally knew why her mother was kind to her today, and her feelings were for this matter, and said with a smile: "I tell you clearly, you have to tell your daughter-in-law about this." ”
