Daddy Liu took a nap, woke up and felt that his body was fine, and when he reminisced about the lunch meal, Zhang Yan's performance at the dinner table was very decent, and his speech and demeanor were deeply loved by Daddy Liu, and Daddy Liu found that Renzhang's marriage could not be delayed any longer, so he got up and got dressed and went straight to Wenxi's house.

"Mother, my uncle has come to see my father." Da Ai was collecting firewood in the yard, and when he saw Daddy Liu enter the courtyard gate, he shouted happily into the house. Daddy Liu caressed Da Ai's cheek, Qiu Ju came out of the house, and said with a smile, "Brother De, you are here, come into the house and sit." And instructed Da Ai to go back to the house and pour a glass of wine for Daddy Liu, Qiu Ju knew that Daddy Liu liked to drink, Wenxi was not a drop of wine, and the wine at home was prepared for Daddy Liu all year round, every time Daddy Liu came, no matter what time he had to drink a glass.

Liu Wenxi hugged his son Xiaozhang and lay in the quilt and slept in a daze, when he heard that Daddy Liu was coming, he quickly sat up and groped for a cotton jacket and cotton pants, and Daddy Liu pressed him into the quilt after entering the house, and said gently, "Wenxi, you just lie down and talk, I am not an outsider." Wen Xi wiped his tears and said to Daddy Liu, "Brother De, you saved my life again, this is the second time you jumped into the Liushui River to save me, I can't repay you for your life-saving grace in my life, let Xiaozhang continue to repay in the future." He took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Zhang, and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhang, don't listen to your father's nonsense, your father is my brother, just like you are a brother who loves a lot, you should share it for your brother, don't think about it." ”

Qiu Ju moved a stool for Daddy Liu to sit down, and Da Ai handed a full teacup of wine to Daddy Liu, and said with a smile, "Uncle, please drink." Daddy Liu took the wine, took Da Ai in his arms, held Da Ai's frozen little hand with one hand and said distressedly, "Good girl, you are only a teenager, you can be in charge, it's amazing." Da Ai shyly lowered his head, in addition to his father, Daddy Liu is his favorite person, since he can remember, Daddy Liu has to come to the house five or six times a month, and he will help if he encounters any help, especially in the past two years, Daddy Liu is even more caring for himself, often sending books and clothes, checking his knowledge from time to time, and instructing himself to go to the study room of the Liu family compound at any time to read, Daai can feel Daddy Liu's preference for himself from the heart, and he is infinitely dependent on Daddy Liu, no matter what urgent matters at home, I ran to the Liu family's compound to find Daddy Liu as soon as possible.

Qiu Ju was very happy when she heard that Daddy Liu praised Daai as soon as he entered the door, and she instructed Daai, "Girl, you can't forget your uncle's goodness in the future." ”

"Mother, don't keep telling me this, why will I forget the uncle's goodness?" As he spoke, he rubbed his shoulders and backs with his little hands, and Father Liu took a sip of wine and said solemnly to Wenxi, "Wenxi, I must send Da Ai to the new school in the village to study in the New Year after the New Year, I know that Da Ai's knowledge has been outstanding among children of the same age, but I still have to go to the school to study, and have more contact with my peers, no matter how difficult it is at home, I can't delay the child's future, you don't have to worry about the cost of reading, it's all borne by me, you see, Da Ai is one year older than Zhizhang, Zhizhang has been reading for four years, Now it's more than enough to help me settle the accounts, Daai is a rare good seedling, that is, you and your younger siblings can't do without Daai, otherwise I would have taken her to the Liu family compound to live. ”

Liu Wenxi sighed and said helplessly, "Brother De, Qiu Ju and I both support Da Ai to study in the new school, but she just doesn't go, the child was born in such a family, and she is very sensible, for the past four or five years, she has made all the meals at home, and she has to take care of Xiaozhang." Then Wen Xi said to Da Ai again, "Da Ai, after the New Year, you are twelve years old, you don't take my words with your mother seriously, now your uncle has spoken, you must go to the school next year to study, do you hear?" ”

"Dad, I know, after the New Year, Xiaozhang is older and can take care of himself, I will go to the school to study, and it is best to arrange for me to be in the same class as Zhizhang."

"Silly boy, didn't your uncle just say that your brother Zhizhang has been studying for four years? Can you follow him in the same class? Wen Xi knew that Zhizhang came to the house every day after school to find Da Ai to play, and the relationship between the two was very close. Wen Xi has discussed with Qiu Ju many times in private, and it would be better to find an opportunity to discuss with Daddy Liu, to set a baby kiss for the two children, and Da Ai will marry into the Liu family compound in the future, and it would be better for Daddy Liu to be his daughter-in-law. Thinking of this, he said to Daai, "You lead Xiaozhang to the street, and your uncle and I are going to talk about business." Da Ai kissed Daddy Liu's face, and then went out of the house with Xiaozhang on his back.

Daddy Liu took another sip of wine, then lit a dry tobacco, took two puffs, and teased Wenxi with a smile, "You, the famous 'Liu Banxian' in Huang County, why didn't you calculate that you would fall into the ice cave?" ”

"Brother De, these three nine moon days, the Liushui River is frozen solid, the carriage is fine, I can't count the early morning fried fish, but early this morning I really used the six lines to calculate a hexagram for myself, what I got is the fifth hexagram of the Kan Palace, the hexagram, the change of the revolutionist, this hexagram is a fierce hexagram, because the nobles help each other in time to become auspicious hexagrams, the hexagram is like a dry seedling to get rain, although it is dangerous to go out, but there is a noble rescue, just like the dry seedling coincides with the timely rain, this is not very effective? I am deeply trapped in the Liushui River, in danger, you and Wenting just appeared, I am in danger, and bad things become good things, the villagers of Shuangliu Village respect you more like gods, our brothers have once again experienced the test of life and death together, you even gave up your life for me, this fateful friendship does not need words to express. Brother De, you just talked about the big love of reading, I suddenly thought of the lifelong event of the big love, I and Qiu Ju have discussed it several times before, but I am not embarrassed to talk to you, after today's incident, Brother De, I will be cheeky to talk to you, you also know, Zhizhang and Da Ai have been able to play together since childhood, in the past two years, Zhizhang has come to find Da Ai to play every day after school, and taught Da Ai to know a lot of words, I think Brother De you also like Da Ai this girl, I and Qiu Ju will climb high, it is better for our brothers to kiss and kiss, Set a baby kiss for these two babies, and when they grow up to be sixteen years old, let them marry, what do you think? ”

Daddy Liu drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile, "Wenxi, this is indeed a great joy, I grew up watching the girl of great love, smart and kind, and I know the general situation, I and your sister-in-law like her in the heart, and I will marry my family Zhizhang that kid is really wronged her, I am climbing you and my brother and sister, this doll is so decided, after you recover, our family will get together for a meal, let my uncle write a marriage contract, even if the marriage is officially decided." Later, Zhizhang came to you, you were like a son to support him to work, this kid I had already discovered, as long as he was generous and diligent with Da Ai, he didn't want to do any work at home, and often fought with Xigu because of housework such as washing dishes and sweeping the floor. After Daddy Liu finished speaking, he laughed happily, and then went to the hall and poured another teacup of wine.

"Brother De, why don't you drink it yet, I'll get you two appetizers, and you can have a good drink." Qiu Ju said that she was going to the kitchen to cook, but was stopped by Daddy Liu, "I said brother and sister, don't be busy, I've drunk a lot at noon, today is double happiness, today at noon I left Zhang Yan to eat at home, I also agreed to her marriage with Renzhang in person, and now Zhizhang and Daai have set a baby kiss, I am happy in my heart, drinking and drinking is a mood, and it is the same with or without vegetables." ”

Liu Wenxi also smiled and said, "Brother De, you know, I'm a person who doesn't drink a lot, but I'm going to take a sip today." Father Liu brought the wine glass to Wen Xi's mouth, Wen Xi took a small sip, and just choked and coughed as soon as he reached his throat, "Brother De, what is so good about this wine?" It's worse than medicine. Daddy Liu smiled and said jokingly, "Wenxi, you have really lived in vain in your life, what does it mean to not smoke or drink?" My boys, except for Xinzhang, I don't let them drink because of their physical disabilities, and I don't restrict them from drinking, especially Yizhang, who has been secretly drinking my wine since he was a child, and thought I didn't know it, and now I don't know what he is doing in the army. ”

"Brother De, if you want to talk about your five boys, I think they are all good, the eldest Liu Renzhang is loyal and kind, steady and housekeeping, and his personality follows his sister-in-law; The second Liu Yizhang is both civil and military, righteous and thin, his temperament is most like you, bright and upright, dare to act, heroes are born in troubled times, Yizhang will be born in the Korean battlefield, Qingyun is just around the corner, you and your sister-in-law are waiting to receive the good news; The third Liu Lizhang has a flexible mind, gentle and elegant, and talks nonsense when he sees people, you and your sister-in-law can rest assured, he is very good outside, but he can't go home in a short time; The fourth Liu Zhizhang is smart and active, brilliant in writing, quite like his grandfather Liu Yanzu, and is a good seedling for reading and learning; Lao Wuliu Xinzhang is kind-hearted and sincere, don't look at him with a disability, I have criticized his eight characters, and he is protected by the righteous chapter, and his future achievements should not be underestimated. ”

"Wenxi, you help me pick a date, I want to hold the wedding of Renzhang and Zhang Yan as soon as possible."

"Brother De, didn't Zhang Jifu tell you the day when Renzhang and Zhang Yan got married? He brought a lot of things to see me, and by the way, he brought Renzhang and Zhang Yan's birthdays for me to test the day before the year to get married, I speculated and told him that the ninth day of the lunar month was a good day, I thought he had discussed it with you. ”

When Father Liu heard this, he was very happy in his heart, thinking that the mood of the old Zhang family was more urgent than his own, and once the Liu and Zhang families got married, Shuangliu Village would be more stable.

"Wenxi, although the Liu and Zhang families have approved this marriage, but the form still has to go, early tomorrow morning, you take the dowry I prepared to the Zhang family for a trip, on behalf of the Liu family compound to Renzhang officially proposed."

"Brother De, I know you treat me as a brother, but Renzhang is your eldest son after all, and his marriage is the top priority of the Liu family compound, although I have done a lot of things to protect the media, but those are ordinary Zhuang families, and the Liu family compound is definitely a famous family in Huang County, protect the media for Renzhang, even if you invite Liu Kuizhang, you will also keep him full of promises, even if you look down on him, at least ask Jiang Fengyi to protect the media, he is the most suitable, not only your life and death brother, but also the deputy secretary and armed forces minister of Huang County, whether it is the street or personal relations. By the way, Brother De, Huilan married Shibao, Zhang Yan is Shibao's cousin, so after Zhang Yan married into the Liu family, should Zhang Yan call Huilan sister-in-law or aunt? ”

"Of course it's called auntie, Zhang Yan marrying Renzhang is a person from my Liu family's compound, and the name should be changed to Liu Zhangyan, which is completely different from when Zhongzhang wanted to marry Huilan, Zhongzhang is my own nephew, Huilan is his aunt, how can he marry Huilan? In addition, why do I use you to protect the media, aside from the friendship between our brothers, but in terms of culture, I dare to say that Huangxian County can surpass you by a handful, even if my uncle Liu Chengzu is slightly inferior to you, you are a hidden dragon in front of you, do not stand up for the ancestral industry, do not live by six relatives, you can support your family with only one mouth, and there will be great success in the future, why do I like to love this girl, don't look at her who hasn't entered the school for a day, but she knows more words than Zhizhang, you keep saying that Zhizhang teaches Daai literacy after school, that is to give me and Zhizhang face, When I helped you clean up the room in the morning, I accidentally found the notebook of great love, that book was given to her during the Chinese New Year last year, the book is almost used up, and the words are written beautifully, but judging from the content of the writing, Zhizhang will not reach the level of great love in five or six years, where does the culture of great love come from? Aren't you all taught! Da Ai said that after the year to go to school to insert into the Zhizhang class, I am not surprised at all, Da Ai is not only smart, but also empathetic, she never punctures the shortcomings of Zhizhang, this is the best tutor! You're right, I don't look down on Liu Kuizhang and the like at all, isn't he just a county magistrate? I don't know how he revolutionized outside, but what he did in Shuangliu Village can be summed up in two words, despicable! In addition, Jiang Fengyi can't be used, it's true that he is my brother in life and death, but I have too much secret contact with him, I must keep a certain distance on the surface, and I can't leave a handle on people with ulterior motives, and you are different, everyone in the world knows that the relationship between you and me is comparable to that of Guan Bao's friends, sharing weal and woe, their attitude towards you is the same as that of me, and they will never dare to slack off! ”

Liu Wenxi and Qiu Ju burst into tears when they heard this, Daddy Liu not only often sent charcoal in the snow, but also always regarded Wenxi as a confidant and confidant, Wenxi's heart rose all of a sudden, and he said loudly to Daddy Liu, "Brother De, the one who is a confidant dies, and I Liu Wenxi has you as a confidant in this life, which is enough!" I will go to Lao Zhang's house early tomorrow morning to ensure that the affairs of Renzhang will be done beautifully, and in the future, all the things in the Liu family's compound, as long as Brother De you say a word, it is my duty to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire. What's more, it's such a good thing to show your face, Brother De, you deliberately elevate me in front of your neighbors, how can I not know? ”
