Chapter 34: Fate
Mr. Liu asked with concern, "Qianqian, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Liu Qian smiled and said, "Daddy, it's okay, I'm just a little distracted." What did you just ask me?"
Mr. Liu said, "Did you bring this tea from home?"
Liu Qian understood what her father meant, and said, "Yes, Daddy, it's the kind you often drink, and I brought it to drink it myself when I came last time." Do you think this tea is particularly delicious?"
Mr. Liu took another sip and said, "Yes, it doesn't taste like the one I drink at home, this tea aroma is really tempting." ”
This Mr. Liu doesn't have any hobbies in his life, he just likes to taste tea, drinks a lot of various teas, and has a lot of them at home, otherwise Liu Qian wouldn't like to drink tea. However, the tea he drinks today is very different from the one he drank in the past, and the fragrance that he can't say in his mouth is that this tea is his daily use, and it must be the water used to make tea is different. Mr. Liu was surprised, although this Guozhuang is far away from Baligou, it is only half a day's journey, why is the water quality so different?
Mr. Liu asked, "Qianqian, how can the water in this Guozhuang be so much better than the water in our Baligou?"
Liu Qian winked at Mr. Liu and said, "Yes, Daddy, the water here is indeed clear and pleasant." ”
Liu Qian knows that his uncle is famous for his straightforwardness and fast-talking, and he can't hide words in his mouth, if something is known to him, it means that all the villagers in Baligou know, and what happened to him in Luzhen has told him not to spread it, who knows if the people in Baligou already know it at this time. The matter of this well water must not be allowed to leak out.
Mr. Liu saw Liu Qian winking at him, and tacitly stopped asking.
But Butcher Liu heard it and interjected: "That's not simple, just let Zhang Xiaolong, this kid send you a bucket every day." ”
Mr. Liu was happy and said: "Second brother, not to mention the half-day journey from Guozhuang to Baligou, even if it can be delivered, this water for tea may not be so delicious." ”
Seeing that Butcher Liu didn't understand, he continued: "The best water for this tea brew is from the river, because if it is left for a long time, it will lose the vitality in the water, and the fragrance of the tea will be gone." ”
Butcher Liu's face was full of disdain, and he said, "As far as you are very particular about reading, why don't I feel this way?"
Zhang Cai over there also smiled, didn't speak, and drank the tea in the cup.
Liu Qian stepped forward and poured another glass for everyone.
Mr. Liu picked up a freshly poured cup of tea, put it to his nose, sniffed it carefully, and then took a small sip with his mouth, which was also a careful taste, indescribably pleasant.
Butcher Liu sneered and said: "What's so good about this light bird's water, it's not as enjoyable as drinking." ”
Mr. Liu pursed his lips and said, "How can you know my joy?
Butcher Liu was happy and said, "It's not simple, you can also move to Guozhuang to live." I heard that there is no teacher in Guozhuang, you are here, and it is too late for them to welcome you. ”
Mr. Liu's eyes lit up and said: "You are a rough man, you can also think of good ideas, this is good, the ancients have a saying: '300 lychees a day, do not hesitate to be a Lingnan person', it is rare that I have the fate to meet this good water and good tea, and it is also a good story to be a Guozhuang person for this good tea." ”
Talking unintentionally, listening intentionally. Mr. Liu's sentence "It's rare to have a fate", a sentence woke up the person in the dream, like a lightning bolt struck Liu Qian's heart, splitting the knot in her heart that had been tangled for many days, yes, it's rare to have a fate, didn't I still feel that I had a fate with Zhang Xiaolong a few days ago, but now I have entered a dead end, and I even doubt this fate. Now I think about it carefully, from the time I met Zhang Xiaolong, he was injured to save himself, he took care of his injury in order to repay his kindness, and then to the discovery of precious well water, and then to the idea that my father is willing to come to Guo Zhuang, completely dispelled her own zuihou layer, in order to take care of her father, she does not want to marry far away, she knows that this well water is only available in the Zhang family, Guo Zhuang can not be drunk elsewhere, and then think about the miraculous use of well water, she is even more excited, this is the guarantee of her father's health. Doesn't all this show that he has a fate with Zhang Xiaolong? This fate is destined by God, and it is not enough for him to stink?
With a thought of everything, the big stone in Liu Qian's heart was moved by God.
Only then did she notice the reaction of everyone after Daddy finished speaking. Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Liu Qian explained: "This lychee is a very delicious fruit in the legend, only in Lingnan this place grows, after the ancients ate this lychee, they never forgot it, and said with emotion that if they can eat lychee every day, he is willing to move to Lingnan." ”
Everyone was stunned.
Zhang Cai said in surprise: "If Mr. Liu wants to move to our Guozhuang, we will definitely welcome it, and I will tell the Guo clan patriarch of Guozhuang when I go back and arrange a place for my brother." ”
Mr. Liu hurriedly said: "Brother, this matter is not in a hurry, I will talk about it later, and I will leave it to fate, haha." ”
Then, Mr. Liu took another sip of tea and said the real purpose of coming to Zhang's house this time, he looked at Zhang Cai and said, "Brother, the main purpose of our visit this time is to take Qianqian home for a while." This child has been here for a while, presumably homesick, our family also needs her to go back to clean up, this month, it should have come over a long time ago, I didn't come with Qianqian last time because I also needed a girl to take care of it at home, let her come over and swap with Qianqian this time, what do you think?"
Zhang Cai didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly looked back at Guo Sufei.
Guo Sufei looked at the sincere expressions of Mr. Liu and Butcher Liu, as well as Liu Yueyue's expressionless expression, she already knew it in her heart, she smiled and said to Mr. Liu and Butcher Liu: " The hearts of the two brothers, we received it, Qianqian stayed here during this time, really helped us a lot, this Xiaolong and Xiaohu, as well as our family, the injuries have been healed, the basic movement is fine, Qianqian stays here and doesn't have to take care of Xiaolong and them, if Mr. Liu wants Qianqian to go back, I will pack up the children's things, and go back with you in the afternoon, Yueyue is even more unnecessary to stay. ”
Hearing Guo Sufei's words, Liu Yueyue obviously showed a burst of joy, and Liu Qian looked up and inadvertently saw the disappointment between Zhang Xiaohu's brows, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart, and said secretly in her heart: "This Zhang Xiaohu is silent on weekdays, and I haven't heard him inquire about Yueyue, looking at this look at this time, it is a little troublesome, I have time to remind Zhang Xiaohu that my sister's mind is obviously not here." ”
Butcher Liu was not very happy, and said: "Old sister-in-law, look at what you said, didn't you already say it before, and Yueyue should also do her part, but now that she is in front of her, how can she be idle?"
Guo Sufei said with a smile: "Brother Liu, I know that you are a cheerful person, if we have difficulties, how can we hide it from you? You see that these two children and your brother Zhang are all full of red faces, and they are easy to move, and they really don't need your girl to stay." ”
Mr. Liu also smiled at this time, stopped Butcher Liu's repeated insistence, and said: "Since the old sister-in-law said so, it must be true that the child does not need to stay, and the second brother does not need to insist on anything." As for whether Qianqian will go back with us for a while, let's ask her what she means first. ”
Liu Qian thought for a while and said: "That's it, Dad, I won't go home with you this time, there are Yueyue to take care of at home, it shouldn't be a big problem, I have only been out for less than a month, although I am also homesick, but I don't have to go home to see, and besides, Xiaolong's injury has reached a stage of zuihou, I can't be anticlimactic, or wait for him to be completely well, I will go back." ”
As soon as these words landed, Butcher Liu couldn't help but stand up and said, "You didn't discuss it with your father just now, how can you talk like your father?"
Liu Qianqi said: "Second uncle, what do you mean by this?"
Before Butcher Liu could speak, Liu Yueyue spoke: "Sister, on the way here just now, two old people made a bet, your father said that you would definitely not go home, and my father said that you would go home." My father asked Weishenme, your father said that Qianqian didn't like to do anticlimactic things since she was a child, she has been in Guozhuang for less than a month, presumably Zhang Xiaolong's injury has not healed, and she will definitely not go home in this case. No, what you said is very similar to what your father said, and of course my father is very angry, thinking that you have colluded. ”
This Liu Yueyue is sharp-toothed, one sentence is your father, one sentence is my father, everyone is happy.
Liu Qian said to Butcher Liu: "Second uncle watched me grow up, why don't you know my temper?"
Butcher Liu said helplessly: "I only remember that you are still a runny little girl, who knows that you will grow into a big girl with Yueyue in a few years, how can I remember your temper, I thought you had never left home, how could you be homesick, but you are still not as good as your own father." ”
While talking, Guo Sufei saw that it was not early, so she went out to have lunch, and Liu Qian and Liu Yueyue naturally went out to help, leaving only a group of men to chat in the house.
The Zhang family's food is still simple, and they are ready to stop after a while, Zhang Xiaohua also bought wine from outside the village and came back, and Butcher Liu was naturally happy and smiled.
After lunch, the sun in the sky has been slanting in the west, Mr. Liu and his party of three said goodbye to the village, Mr. Liu invited Zhang Cai and said: "Brother, tomorrow is the day when the second dragon raises its head in February, there is a temple fair over there in Baligou, why don't you come to me tomorrow for a small gathering?"
Zhang Cai thought about it and refused: "Although the injury is good now, it is still not fully recovered after all, and it is inevitable that there will be problems if you go far, and the old man at home is sick, so it is better not to stay away." When I have time in the future, I will definitely visit you. ”
Mr. Liu knew that it was also the truth, so he didn't insist anymore, everyone separated at the entrance of the village, and Liu Qian took Zhang Xiaohua and sent him off the road again.
Only then did they reluctantly separate, watching their relatives gradually drift away.
