Chapter 20: Tian Youfu's Hope
…
Tian Youfu has been beautiful.
I think that at the beginning, when Tian Youfu was the leader of the group, who in Furong Village didn't look down on him?
At that time, even Qian Dafa, who is now the most beautiful in Furong Village, was Tian Youfu's younger brother, and he followed Tian Youfu every day.
If it hadn't been broken seven years ago, Qian Dafa's village party secretary would definitely be Tian Youfu.
It's a pity that if you are not careful, you will lose all the games!
The deposit is gone.
The house is gone.
My wife is gone.
There is also a lot of foreign debt.
Now, Tian Youfu can only rent the old house of a little brother who was once quite righteous, dragging a waste leg, with a girl who doesn't even dare to go out, barely getting by, and he can't see any hope.
But—
And that was just before.
Now Tian Youfu has found hope!
……
After sending Xu Kai and the others away, Tian Youfu said to Tian Haitang in high spirits: "Go and fry two hard dishes for Dad, and then scoop a big bowl of rice wine you brewed for Dad." ”
When Tian Haitang heard this, she silently went to fry two meat, two vegetables and four side dishes for Tian Youfu, made a bowl of soup, and scooped a big bowl of rice wine she brewed.
Tian Haitang's grandfather has been a village cook, is good at farm work, and can also weave bamboo utensils, and the neighbors are willing to ask Tian Haitang's grandfather for help when they have red and white ceremonies.
When his grandfather was cooking, Tian Haitang was on the side to help his grandfather.
In addition, when Tian Haitang was a child, she also worked as a carpenter with her grandfather, accompanied her grandmother to cook, and she would also work in the field when the crops were ripe.
Under the influence of Tian Haitang, Tian Haitang learned a lot of skills in cooking, housework and farming.
After his father broke his leg and his mother ran away with someone again, Tian Haitang's heart was closed.
Since then, Tian Haitang has been looking for articles and videos on cooking in books and online, and has been practicing her cooking skills day after day, year after year.
In the past few years, Tian Haitang's cooking skills have become their own, and ordinary ingredients can also be made into delicious food by her.
Take Tian Haitang's four dishes and one soup for Tian Youfu, although they are all seasonal dishes, they are all made by her, which makes people appetizing at a glance.
There is also the rice wine brewed by Tian Haitang, which integrates sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, fresh and astringent six flavors, and has both clarity, fragrance, mellowness, softness, cotton and coolness.
After two sips of rice wine, Tian Youfu suddenly said amazingly: "Begonia, I want to marry you to Xu Kai." ”
As soon as Tian Youfu's voice fell, the bowl in Tian Haitang's hand fell onto the table.
Fortunately, the distance is not high, and the bowl is not broken.
Tian Haitang hurriedly picked up the bowl and continued to give Tian Youfu soup.
Tian Youfu saw through the dim light that Tian Haitang was not only panicked, but also two red clouds appeared on her pretty face.
This made Tian Youfu more confident.
Tian Youfu took another sip of rice wine and ate two bites of side dishes before continuing:
"Although you are only 19 and have not yet reached the legal age of marriage, there are not a few people in our rural areas who marry at your age, and many people even get married at 14 or 5."
"However, don't think that your father is in such a hurry to marry you because he doesn't like you or wants to evade the responsibility of raising you."
"Although your father is poor and incapable, he is not so unresponsible."
After a pause, Tian Youfu continued:
"The reason why I want to marry you to Xu Kai is because I think Xu Kai is the most suitable for you."
"Yes, Xu Kai has been in prison, 12 years older than you, and there is a child who is almost 11 years old."
"But in my opinion, none of this is a problem."
"What's wrong with being in jail?"
"Gou Jian was in prison, but he tried his courage to destroy the Wu State, the Xuzhou Alliance, move the capital to Langya, and dominate the Central Plains!"
"Cao Cao was imprisoned, but he crusaded against Dong Zhuo, defeated Yuan Shao, unified the northern part of the Central Plains, and laid the foundation of Cao Wei's regime!"
"Zhao Kuangyin also went to prison, but he established the Song Dynasty, ended the war and chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, destroyed Jingnan, Wuping, Houshu, Southern Han and Southern Tang, and basically completed unification!"
"I've been in prison, but it's nothing, the big hero doesn't ask where he comes from!"
After calming down, Tian Youfu said leisurely:
"People in the village say that you are sick, but I know that you are not sick at all, you were just frightened by those who asked for accounts when you were a child, and you lacked a sense of security, so you are afraid of contact with people."
"I admit it, I have a cowardly idea, I have no ability, and I have caused so much trouble, I am angry with your grandparents, I am angry with your mother, and I have caused a huge shadow on your childhood, I am not worthy of being a son of man, I am not worthy of being a husband, and I am not worthy of being a father."
As he spoke, Tian Youfu shed tears: "9 years have passed, I still can't protect you, I can't give you a sense of security, so you don't even dare to go out of the house......"
It is not difficult to hear from Tian Youfu's words that he blames himself.
But soon, Tian Youfu's tone perked up, and he said:
"So, a long time ago, I thought that I must find you a husband who can protect you and let him give you a sense of security."
"Today on the bus, I saw Xu Kai protecting you so well, and at that time I was thinking, did the person I was waiting for appear?"
Tian Youfu said with a smile while drinking: "I have been observing Xu Kai all day. ”
"As a result, I am very satisfied with everything Xu Kai did."
"Responsible, courageous, aware of current affairs, understanding of trade-offs, and vision, but also affectionate and righteous."
"This is the son-in-law that my Tian Youfu wants!"
"What's wrong with being 12 years older, older people know that it hurts!"
"What's wrong with having a daughter, you should be ...... Just assume that his daughter is your sister, don't you! ”
“……”
"If you can marry Xu Kai, I will be blind to death."
"No, I can't die, I have to witness you live happily."
"I heard people say, your mother is not doing well now, that person thinks your mother is old and your mother is not in good health, always beats your mother, and sometimes doesn't give your mother food, if you can marry Xu Kai, Xu Kai pulls and pulls me, let me pay back all the money I owe, and then buy a house, I will take your mother back, so that I will have a home."
“……”
Tian Youfu got drunk and fell asleep on the table.
Tian Haitang took a piece of clothing and covered it for Tian Youfu, and then lightly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
But after taking it away, Tian Haitang remembered that Tian Youfu had just said that he would marry her to Xu Kai.
Immediately afterwards, Tian Haitang remembered the scene where Xu Kai rescued her on the bus, as well as Xu Kai's reliable back, and the sense of steadiness she had never felt in her heart when Xu Kai stood beside her.
Unconsciously, Tian Haitang's face began to burn, and his heartbeat began to speed up.
"Will he really be my husband?"
Tian Haitang's voice is as good as a lark.
It's a pity that no one in this world has heard Tian Haitang's voice, including his father Tian Youfu......
