Chapter 17: Thank You

When Liu Qian's father and brother came to Zhang's house, they were already on the rise.

Butcher Liu was basking in the sun with Zhang Cai in the small courtyard, chatting, the wall of Zhang's small courtyard was also short, and Butcher Liu saw Mr. Liu and Liu Kai who were brought over by the villagers from afar. I saw that the two of them were dressed in new clothes, and Liu Kai followed behind his father, holding a few huge gift boxes in his hands.

Butcher Liu hurriedly got up, greeted Zhang Cai, and went out to greet his brother. Zhang Cai shouted into the house: "Child, mother, Liu Qian's father is here." ”

Liu Qian heard this shout, and did not throw it into the needlework like Liu Yueyue, and rushed out of the back room at a trot, but carefully put half of the things she had made on the table, waiting for Guo Sufei to go first, and then she came out.

When Liu Qian walked to the yard, Liu Butcher and Liu Yueyue had already hugged their father and brother to the fence door, where Zhang Cai was greeted with a cane, and the meeting was an introduction and greetings, Liu Qian then walked in front of his father and brother to give a salute, Mr. Liu took his daughter's hand and looked at his daughter's expression carefully, only to see that there were no traces on the familiar face because of the events of the day before yesterday, and there was no panic and fear in his eyes, but his eyes were slightly red, Mr. Liu couldn't help but feel guilty, he didn't think it through, he patted his daughter's shoulder and said: "I'm sorry for you, child. ”

Liu Qian wiped her eyes and said with a smile: "My daughter is fine, thanks to the great help of Brother Xiaolong's family, we are out of the tiger's mouth." ”

Mr. Liu motioned to Liu Kai to hand over the gift box, and said to Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei: "Don't thank you for your kindness, these thin gifts are not respectful, talk about your heart." I hope the benefactor will accept it. ”

Zhang Cai hurriedly pushed the gift box back, and said politely: "We also happened to meet at the same time, and we didn't make any efforts, and there are other people in Zuihou and ours." ”

Mr. Liu insisted on handing it over and said, "Thanks to you, if it weren't for your help, my children would have suffered a catastrophe, and those two young heroes might not have been able to see it." ”

Seeing the two of them pushing back and forth, Butcher Liu couldn't help but be anxious, stretched out his hand to take it, and said, "You don't have to be polite, Brother Zhang, my eldest brother has a heart, you don't have to refuse." After speaking, he entered the hall with the gift box in his arms.

Mr. Liu smiled and said to Zhang Cai: "My second brother has such a hot temper, please don't mind Brother Zhang." ”

Zhang Cai also smiled and said: "Okay, Brother Ling is a temperamental, we are orthopedic, please, come to the house to talk." ”

Zhang Cai let Mr. Liu into the hall, the hall of the Zhang family is very small, there are not a few chairs, so it doesn't matter if the guests and hosts are divided, everyone sits at will.

After Mr. Liu sat down, he once again expressed his gratitude for the kindness of the Zhang family, and took out some scattered silver from his arms, put it on the small table in the house, and said: "Brother Zhang, your family's injuries were injured by bullies in order to save the little girl, and we should all be responsible for it. ”

This time, Zhang Caike resolutely refused to accept it, he said: "Xiaohua has already told you what happened, the bully had already paid the silver at that time, but we were afraid that they would come to ask for it again, so we didn't dare to use it, and Wen Shaoxia, who saved us, had already given a lot of silver, enough to see the injury, to buy medicine, we couldn't take this silver." Liu Kai said beside him: "Uncle Zhang, one yard is one yard, our silver should be given, you can't be injured to save my sisters, we can't stand by and watch no medical expenses, how can there be such a reason?" Butcher Liu also scratched his head and said: "Brother Zhang, you should take it, wait a few days, I will also bring you some silver and carry some meat." ”

Zhang Cai said: "Two brothers, don't do it, we don't save people for silver, besides, we already have silver to treat injuries, these are absolutely unacceptable." ”

So, these people are what you asked me to do, and I let you make them, entangled and talked for a long time, Zhang Cai didn't want to live or die.

At this time, Liu Qian opened her mouth and said to Mr. Liu: "Daddy, since Uncle Zhang doesn't accept this money, you can take it back first, I have an idea, how about you listen to it?"

Mr. Liu said, "Okay, you have been very smart since you were a child, what are your good ideas this time?"

Liu Qian said: "Uncle Zhang's family was injured in order to save us, and the two of us stayed here to take care of Uncle Zhang and them until their injuries were completely healed. What do you think?"

Mr. Liu thought for a moment and said, "It's me who owes it to consideration, Qian'er's idea is very good, what do you see? ”

Butcher Liu patted his chest and said, "Very good, very good, I think so too." ”

Liu Yueyue also nodded in agreement.

That's how things were settled.

Then, Mr. Liu and Liu Kai went to the back room, Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu were still lying on the bed, when they heard Liu Butcher shouting just now, the two of them remembered, but they were stopped by Guo Sufei and a few of them, and at this time they saw someone come in, knowing that it was Liu Qian's father and brother, they quickly got up, this time Liu Qian did not come up to support Zhang Xiaolong, Guo Sufei carefully helped her son to sit on the kang.

Mr. Liu looked at this courageous young man carefully, Zhang Xiaolong is a very masculine young man, about the same age as Liu Kai, he looks very ordinary, and has the same thick eyebrows and big eyes as Zhang Cai, but at this time his eyes are blue, and the corners of his mouth are also cracked, but just from the perseverance in his eyes, it can be seen that he is a down-to-earth person, and the clothes on his body are not new, with some patches, but the pulp is very clean, and it makes people look very comfortable to wear on his body. Zhang Xiaolong's arm was still on the splint, he couldn't move casually, his hand was on his chest, looking at this pair of slightly rough hands, he knew that he was a good hand in the farmland.

Mr. Liu looked at a young man of this age, about the same height as his son, but with a very different temperament, and couldn't help but nod secretly, only such an outstanding child can stand up when others are in danger.

Zhang Xiaolong saw Mr. Liu staring at him, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, a little overwhelmed. Mr. Liu looked at it for a while, then spoke, thanked him for saving his daughter, hoped that he would recuperate from his injuries, and then spoke for a while before leaving the hut. As he walked, he said to Zhang Cai: "Brother Zhang has a good son, and he is blessed." ”

Zhang Cai couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and he didn't forget to be modest while on crutches: "Each other, Ling Gongzi is also very good." ”

Seeing that it was noon, Zhang Cai instructed Guo Sufei to arrange wine and food to entertain Mr. Liu and his party. The Zhang family's family background is more than a step worse than Mr. Liu's, of course, this meal is also very ordinary, Zhang Cai apologizes, Mr. Liu and Butcher Liu are also bold people, they don't mind talking about it, and they have eaten a lot. Only Zhang Xiaohua is the happiest, she has meat to eat for two days, and she wishes to come a few more times on such days.

After the meal, Mr. Liu and the others chatted with Zhang Cai for a while, and then took the two girls back to Baligou while it was still early.

The Zhang family was left with a wounded man lying on the bed.

Fortunately, it is a harsh winter, and cats are also heating at home at this time of year, so they don't have to plow the fields and hoe the grass to be busy with farming. But this afternoon, everyone felt that there were shortcomings, and when it was getting dark, Guo Sufei was about to cook only to find out that there was less help from two girls at home today, and the meal had to be made less, and she couldn't help but feel a little stunned. The popularity of this family is also strange, there were originally six people in the family, after so many years, I didn't feel anything, so many days, there were two more girls in plain white, and there was more excitement in the family that there was no before, these days passed, people left, of course the excitement was gone, only to find that there was really good excitement, and I actually missed the life of a few more outsiders in those days.

Cooking hastily, Zhang Xiaohua and her mother served the two brothers after eating, everyone sat under the oil lamp, Guo Sufei spoke: "I don't know if Liu Qian and they have eaten?"

Zhang Cai said: "Looking at the sky, they have just arrived home, and it is too late to cook by themselves, so it is estimated that they will have to eat at Butcher Liu." ”

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Definitely, there may be pork belly at night." ”

Guo Sufei said: "By the way, Xiaohua, you have been to their house, what is their house like?"

According to her own understanding, Zhang Xiaohua told Liu Qian and Liu Yueyue's family about the situation.

In fact, Guo Sufei has always wanted to ask about Liu Qian's family situation, but it is not good to speak from Liu Qian, I saw Liu Butcher yesterday, and I never had the opportunity to ask, and today I saw Mr. Liu and Liu Kai's demeanor and bearing, I felt a pimple in my heart, and after listening to Zhang Xiaohua's words at this time, my heart was even more knotted, and my brows were furrowed, and I said to Zhang Cai worriedly: "Old man, do you say that Liu Qian can take a fancy to our little dragon?"

Everyone didn't interject, and Zhang Xiaolong's face darkened a little. Zhang Cai said: "This depends on fate, it's useless for us to say it, let it be up to God's will." ”

Zhang Xiaohu spoke: "Mother, I feel that Liu Qian's heart is very careful, she should have read a lot of books, it is needless to say that she is knowledgeable, and she can also do a lot of housework, which is really good, much stronger than Liu Yueyue, who is in a hurry." Judging from his care for his eldest brother, it means a little bit. ”

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Second brother, this daughter-in-law is going to marry one by one, don't be too anxious, if you don't mention Liu Yueyue, your mother will also consider it for you." ”

Zhang Xiaohu's face was a little unbearable, and he kicked Zhang Xiaohua with his foot, and said, "I'm talking about the eldest brother, don't interrupt, I have nothing to do with Liu Yueyue." ”

Zhang Cai said: "Second brother, even if you have anything with her, you have to think about your eldest brother first, looking at the situation of our family, it is already difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, you estimate that you have to wait." ”

Guo Sufei interjected and said: "Old man, don't you still have those silver tickets......

Zhang Cai interrupted her words and glared at her: "Don't mention that, that's to pay back others." ”

Afterwards, everyone also felt uneasy, and after a while, they blew out the oil lamps and went to sleep.

Zhang Xiaolong tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, not knowing whether it was the pain on his body or the thoughts in his heart, but his churning did not affect Zhang Xiaohua's still flickering dreams in the slightest.
