Chapter 23: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
Daddy Liu was silent, looking back and thinking about the scene of saving Wen Xi, he really didn't think about anything at the time, he just didn't want Wen Xi to die, and he had already put his safety out of the way, when he couldn't get out of the ice cave, Wen Ting was so frightened that he yelled, and he was not afraid, just a belief, he desperately wanted to go ashore and live!
The atmosphere in the house only increased a little sad, Father Liu gently pushed away Mrs. Liu, and said to Huilan with a smile, "You listen to the neighbors, you have to cry on the wrong grave when you go to the grave, it's not that dangerous at all, your brother-in-law's life is hard, Lord Yan doesn't dare to accept me." ”
"Brother-in-law, now I ask you, are you scaring my sisters."
"If you look at it this way, I'm really scaring you. But I didn't jump the river wrong, it's obviously the Liushui River. ”
"Sister, you see, until now, my brother-in-law is still quibbling."
"Huilan, has Liushui River changed its name?" Mrs. Liu asked suspiciously.
"Huilan, don't sell Guanzi, what do you mean?"
"Brother-in-law, sister, Liushui River is still Liushui River, of course it hasn't been renamed, my brother-in-law is jumping Nai River today?"
"What kind of river is Nai?" Mrs. Liu was even more confused.
"Sister, let me tell you where the Nai River is, this river is in the underworld and hell, didn't my brother-in-law say that he would go to the ghost gate? Yes, the river in front of the ghost gate is called Naihe, and there is a bridge on the river called Naihe Bridge, and ghosts have to pass through this Nai River before they can be reincarnated as a human, and this knowledge was told to me by my brother-in-law a few years ago. ”
Mrs. Liu was still stunned, she looked at the silent Father Liu, and asked with a serious face, "Father Renzhang, what Huilan said is right?" Oh no, my ginger soup is still in the pot. Liu Lao Niang moved her little feet and ran to the kitchen, Renzhang and the others also dispersed, everyone was muttering in their hearts, why is my aunt so powerful.
"Awesome, right? Who in Shuangliu Village can jump into the ice cave without hesitation and sacrifice his life to save people like Daddy Liu? Zhang Lu sat cross-legged on the kang head, and asked Zhang Yan as if asking himself.
"Yes, grandpa, the moment I saw Wenxi's daughter-in-law leading the two children to kneel for Daddy Liu, I was really moved, it was the human heart, it was the true love of the world that no amount of money could buy."
"My granddaughter can see it accurately, with your character and ability, you will definitely make great achievements in the Liu family compound in the future, and you will soon have a pivotal position." Zhang Lu looked at Zhang Yan kindly, and there were some things hidden in her eyes that she didn't say, Zhang Yan was clever, she saw that her grandfather didn't say it thoroughly, she took off her shoes and jumped on the kang to hug her grandfather's neck, and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, what else, what do you say!" A faint body fragrance came to the nose, refreshing people's hearts, Zhang Lu held Zhang Yan's thin waist with one hand, pinched her puffy face with the other, and pushed it out, "Xiaoyan, you are really a little person, you can see through grandpa's thoughts at a glance, my hard work over the years has not been in vain." Alas, what a pity! Zhang Lu sighed heavily.
"What's wrong? My good grandfather, don't sell it" Zhang Yan dragged Zhang Lu's arm and urged him to say quickly, Zhang Lu said kindly, "Xiaoyan, grandpa thinks you can marry into the Liu family compound and marry Renzhang, grandpa is very happy and content, the fly in the ointment is Renzhang's child, he is more than successful, not enough to be aggressive, if he has half of his brother Yizhang's courage, it will be more perfect." ”
"Grandpa, you're right, Liu Renzhang and Liu Yizhang are not a little bit apart, Liu Yizhang is a copy of Daddy Liu, and even the blue is better than the blue, the nickname of 'Hedong Little Overlord' is well deserved, and Liu Renzhang is the copy of Liu Lao Niang, you don't need to brew emotions when you cry your nose, tears come when you say it, and the nickname of 'Crying Melon Boss' is well deserved." After Zhang Yan finished speaking, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhang Lu listened to Zhang Yan's silver bell-like laughter, turned his face sideways and looked closely, Zhang Yan looked too beautiful, goose egg face, pink white and red, Danfeng eyes, watery and affectionate, although the mouth is a little big, but the lips are thick and round like a red silkworm, a mouthful of white and full teeth, as round as a pearl, slender and fair-skinned, Zhang Yan saw that her grandfather was looking at herself, she smiled even more happily, her towering chest rose and fell slightly, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I like to watch it, I will let you see enough." ”
"Can you see enough? Grandpa can never get enough of it, my family Xiaoyan is the most handsome girl in Liushui Township. ”
"Grandpa's duplicity."
"What's the duplicity? Who else is more handsome than you? ”
"Wang Hui, she is a flower in Shuangliu Village."
"She's just a flower in Shuangliu Village, but you're a flower in Liushui Township, far away."
"Grandpa, you pick a good fool of me, where am I better than her?"
"Here." Zhang Lu stretched out his hand and stroked Zhang Yan's brain.
"Xiaoyan, what time is it? Isn't it time for you to visit Daddy Liu, he's your father-in-law in the future. ”
"Grandpa, don't worry, I want to accompany you to chat now, I told Daddy Liu that I will go to see him in the afternoon." As he spoke, he leaned closer to Zhang Lu's side, Zhang Lu held her hand, and said with a pleasant face, "Xiaoyan, you have to seize the opportunity of Daddy Liu's sacrifice to save people today, and honor him well, including when you marry into the Liu family compound in the future, you also have to hug Daddy Liu's thighs, you can see your sister-in-law Huilan to understand, the reason why she wants to be windy and rainy in the Liu family compound and even in Shuangliu Village is because of Daddy Liu's pet, Daddy Liu is a grassroots village chief on the surface, in fact, his ability is much better than Liu Kuizhang and others, He has seen through the world, does not like to speculate, and colludes with those 'silverfish' to harm the people, this is the real man! You, it's better to go over and visit him as soon as possible, and besides, if the old Liu family leaves you for lunch, what should you do? ”
Zhang Yan thought for a while, and then said with a smile, "Before, I went to the Liu family's compound to play, and Mrs. Liu often kept me for dinner, but I didn't agree, if I stayed this time, I felt that I should stay and eat." ”
Zhang Lu smiled slightly, and then asked, "Why?" ”
Zhang Yan saw her grandfather's expression and knew that she had answered correctly, "Why?" "It's like asking yourself, it's like asking grandpa.
Zhang Yan suddenly understood, "I know, grandpa, I really should stay, because this morning, Daddy Liu and you reconciled, which means that he has acquiesced to the marriage between me and Renzhang in his heart, am I right, grandpa?" Zhang Lu said happily, "Yan, your insight is so strong, you are much smarter than your aunt Sanyan, if she had been as smart and determined as you back then, she would have married Daddy Liu a long time ago, and she would not have this blessing in her life." ”
Liu family compound, Zhang Yan is no stranger, she has played very well with Renzhang, Simai, and Aidao since she was a child, although she has never taboo the gap and discord between adults, but there is always an indescribable inferiority complex in her heart, today is different, she has a new understanding, as if she is about to become the hostess here.
"Sister Yan, are you here?" Xigu was skipping rope in the yard, and when she saw Zhang Yan coming in, she threw down the skipping rope and ran forward to hug Zhang Yan's arm affectionately, and shouted towards the east house, "Big brother, my sister Zhang Yan is coming to you." Everyone knew that Renzhang and Zhang Yan were going to get married a few years ago, so they had regarded her as the Liu family from their hearts, and Aidao was the happiest, she hurriedly ran over to take the wine and snacks in Zhang Yan's hand, and shouted to the hall, "Dad, I Sister Zhang Yan has come to see you." ”
Daddy Liu just sent Huilan away, drank two bowls of ginger soup, lay on the kang and wanted to sleep, he heard Ai Tao in the yard Zhang Luo, he wanted to get up from the kang, feeling sore, Liu Lao Niang also sat on the kang, began to listen to Xi Gu shouted that he came to find Renzhang, and then listened to Ai Dao shouting that he came to see Liu Dad, this is the heart, she saw through the window paper that Ai Tao was still carrying a gift in his hand, while talking, Ai Tao and Xi Gu had surrounded Zhang Yan into the hall, through the door curtain, Zhang Yan heard Liu Lao Niang say, "Yan Ziyan, you are here?" Come to the back room, it's cold outside. ”
Zhang Yan gently lifted the door curtain, walked into the back room, and asked Mrs. Liu with concern, "Auntie, is my uncle okay?" Seeing that Daddy Liu had difficulty getting up, she hurriedly stepped forward and held Daddy Liu's shoulders with both hands, Renzhang also jumped on the kang and helped Daddy Liu up with Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan took a pillow and stuffed it under Daddy Liu's waist, Daddy Liu smiled and said, "Xiaoyan, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, my body bones are like falling apart and I don't listen to the call, sit down and talk." Zhizhang hurriedly moved a square stool, placed it next to the coal stove, and beckoned Zhang Yan to sit down and warm up.
Zhang Yan sat on the stool and solemnly said to Mrs. Liu, "Auntie, I have heard from the people in the village, my uncle went to the ghost gate today, and on such a cold day, he broke the ice and swam a few dozen meters in the Liushui River, even an iron man can't stand it, I see that my uncle is still quite uncomfortable now, do you say that we don't need to find Uncle Hong Guang to take a look?" On the one hand, Daddy Liu talked and laughed freely when he first came back in the morning, and he fought with Aunt Huilan for a long time, and was very happy, on the other hand, in the eyes of the children, Daddy Liu was like an iron man, never sick, even if he occasionally caught a cold, he didn't grab the medicine, and drank a few sips of wine in front of the wine bottle, saying that wine is the best medicine. Daddy Liu was the first to smile and said, "Xiaoyan, if I say it's okay, it's okay, my body is stronger than an iron man, besides, aren't you a doctor, what are you looking for, aren't you riding a donkey to find a donkey." ”
As soon as the words came out, Daddy Liu regretted it a little, how could he talk nonsense to Zhang Yan about such a joke as riding a donkey to find a donkey, Zhang Yan's face turned red all of a sudden, and she didn't expect that Daddy Liu, who was usually not smiling, suddenly made a joke with herself, Xigu didn't hear it was a joke, and asked puzzledly, "Dad, why did Sister Yan become a doctor?" Can she ride a donkey? The people in the house were all amused by Xigu, and Aidao hurriedly helped Zhang Yan to relieve the siege, "Xigu, I saw the stupid one, I didn't see you so stupid, and you are still looking for a donkey?" Dad means that Sister Zhang Yan is empathetic and a good doctor, and Sister Zhang Yan really brings medicine? Mrs. Liu was stunned, she asked Zhang Yan with a smile, "Girl, did you really bring medicine?" "Mother, no wonder Xigu is so stupid, it turns out that the roots are here, the medicine I said is the two bottles of wine that Sister Zhang Yan brought to my father, right, Dad?"
