Chapter 46: Persuasion
A few words of gossip: Sanjiang's recommendation was rejected, and it seems that the contract will also be rejected, so I am very angry and go to see the works they recommend. The first thing I saw was "Xu Xianzhi", alas~ It's better to be ashamed, I have nothing to say, learn from Xu Xian, pay tribute to Xu Xian!
Look at a few of Xianxia's strong pushes, dizzy~ I don't feel much stronger than me, hehe
My little flower doesn't have a chivalrous father, so I can't let the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan go to the desert to spread their art like Guo Jing;
My little flower has a happy home, I don't want him to be destroyed all over the house, and he is psychologically distorted like Zhang Xiaofan;
My little flower, the third uncle who didn't go out to work, gave him a chance and was recommended to the Seven Xuanmen like Han Li;
My little flower, like everyone, is very ordinary, has a happy family, will not easily abandon the family for the sake of cultivation, nor will it let the whole family be separated and ruined for the sake of themselves, how can there be so many adventures in the world, how can people be born smart~
As soon as the characters appear, they will encounter adventures again and again, cultivating immortals and cultivating truth, although it looks very cool, it seems that they have become a pattern, a model?
I don't know~
Perhaps, my writing is really not good? Anyway, it is much worse than Xu Xian.
The above is pure nonsense, only this once, and it will not be repeated, and it does not mean to belittle other people, other works, ^_^
Special thanks to the friends who read my book, xiexie, hehe Zhang Xiaolong's splint on his arm has been removed, but it is still fixed with clothes and other things, placed on his chest, and the other hand is naturally hanging by his side, he is standing not far behind Liu Qian, looking at the touching scene of Mr. Liu's father and daughter meeting, he has a good relationship with his father and mother, but he has not experienced separation, so he naturally does not know what it is like, and now he sees his beloved acting like this, and he is also happy for her, and he also knows that his decision should be correct this timeγ
Zhang Xiaohu stood beside Zhang Xiaolong, still holding the bottle of water in his hand, but his eyes were looking around the yard, as if he was looking for someone.
Mr. Liu lovingly stroked his daughter's hair, and his eyes also crossed the top of Liu Qian's head, and threw himself at Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu, smiling and nodding at them, and the hand also removed from his daughter's head, waving slightly at them to apologize. Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu naturally nodded and waited.
When Butcher Liu saw Liu Qian coming back, Mr. Liu greeted him, so he didn't get up, and then drank his own wine, and when he drank the wine, he saw the two brothers standing at the door, so he stood up and said with a smile: "I said who sent Qianqian back, it turned out to be our two big heroes." Come, come in, and have a drink or two with Uncle. β
Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu smiled and walked towards the square table under the eaves.
And Liu Qian, who was tired of talking to her father, heard the word drinking, raised her head, and said to Butcher Liu: "Second uncle, Xiaolong's injury is not completely healed, and he can't drink it for the time being, if you want to drink, find Xiaohu." β
Butcher Liu said loudly: "You girl, you are turning your elbow outward now." β
Liu Qian said in a coquettish voice: "Second uncle~"
Butcher Liu said: "Okay, don't call it, you know, I haven't seen you call my second uncle a few times on weekdays." β
Mr. Liu looked intriguingly at the peasant boy who walked towards him. It is still not good-looking, the youthful face is full of vitality, it doesn't look like the submissiveness of other peasant families, nor the kind of caution on Zhang Cai's body, it seems that his eyes are very bright, and the clothes on his body are very shabby, but the pulp is very clean, and he wears it on his body, it fits very well, and his steps are also very steady, step by step, which makes people look very down-to-earth. Mr. Liu naturally knew Liu Qian's intention to bring Zhang Xiaolong back, although he strongly disagreed with this family business, but he did appreciate Zhang Xiaolong as a person.
At this time, Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu also walked in front of Mr. Liu, and saluted Mr. Liu very respectfully, Mr. Liu was not very polite this time, and simply gestured, saying: "You have worked hard from afar, seeing that it is getting late, it is impossible to go back to Guozhuang today, just stay here with me, you go over to accompany my second brother first, and I will go over after talking to Qianqian." β
After the two brothers agreed, they went to the eaves, each picked up a stool and sat down, and accompanied Butcher Liu to gossip. Mr. Liu said to Liu Qian: "Qianqian, let's go to the study to talk." β
Liu Qian let go of the arm holding her father and said, "Daddy, you go first, I'll make you tea." This is what Xiaolong and I specially brought from Guozhuang, do you want to drink it?"
Mr. Liu didn't speak, shook his head helplessly, and went back to the study first with a smile.
Liu Qian walked under the eaves, took the bottle of water from Zhang Xiaohu's side, looked at Zhang Xiaolong, and said, "You talk to the second uncle first, I'll go to the kitchen to boil water, and by the way, I will get you some side dishes and snacks, and after walking for an afternoon, I must be hungry." β
Liu Qian went to the kitchen, put the well water on the fire and boiled, waited for the water to boil, looked at the empty kitchen, picked up ready-made things and made two simple dishes, the dim sum could not be made, only a few leftover cakes, followed the side dishes and took them out, filling the hunger of the two brothers, and Liu Butcher happily took the side dishes, drank a small wine, and poured a glass for Zhang Xiaohu from time to time, and really didn't pull Zhang Xiaolong to drink.
After a while, the water was boiled, Liu Qian carefully made tea, took the tea set and water, and walked to the study, before entering the study, he looked back at Zhang Xiaolong, the two looked at each other, Liu Qian nodded, her eyes were full of affirmation, and then she turned around and walked into the study.
Mr. Liu in the study was absentmindedly looking at an idle book, and when he saw Liu Qian walking in, he put the book down, sniffled and said: "The water in this Guozhuang is different, and the aroma is overflowing when the tea is brewed, which is rare." β
Liu Qian put the teacup in front of her father, watched her father sniff the tea, tasted the tea one by one, and then closed her eyes to taste it, and did not speak.
After Mr. Liu drank for a while, she said, "Daddy, how is this tea?"
Mr. Liu said: "Alas, this tea is naturally much better than the usual drink, but it is still not as mellow as the last time I drank in Guozhuang, it should be left for too long, and there is no fresh water." β
Then, Liu Qian didn't ask anything anymore, and Mr. Liu only concentrated on tasting tea and didn't speak.
The two sat opposite each other for a while, Mr. Liu thought about it, smiled and spoke first: "Qianqian, come back in a hurry this time, do you have anything to tell your father?"
Liu Qian blushed and said, "Daddy is asking knowingly, if I don't come back, won't Daddy still have to pick me up in a few days?"
Mr. Liu sighed, put the teacup on the table and said, "Qianqian, from childhood to adulthood, your father has been determined by your temperament and does not interfere with you much." This time, Daddy didn't listen to you, you should know Daddy's hard work. β
Liu Qian thought for a while and said, "I guess my father's intention is to be afraid that I will suffer hardships in the Zhang family and do farm work every day, and I am also afraid that Zhang Xiaolong will be a rough rural man, and I am afraid that I will not have the taste of being at home in my future life?"
Mr. Liu nodded and said: "This life is not a problem of one person, it is the life of two people, if one person likes to study, and one person wants to farm, then the direction of life will be forked, and life will naturally be boring and not long." Moreover, the Zhang family is very poor, and you should know that you haven't had a comfortable life in Baligou during this time. β
Liu Qian also nodded and said: "Daddy, what you said is right, I have considered all of this, and even I told Zhang Xiaolong's mother-in-law that she is similar to what you said, and I also hope that I can think about it." β
Mr. Liu said curiously: "Did she really say that?"
Liu Qian said: "Of course yes, I didn't expect my aunt to be a rural woman who doesn't know too many words, and she is so reasonable." β
Mr. Liu sighed: "So, it's really rare, no wonder you can raise such an atmospheric child." β
Then, Mr. Liu said: "Actually, these are things that you can't understand, but the experience that those of us who have come to you to give you, with your character, what you say may not work, only when you hit the wall yourself, do you know your father's hard work." But although a long time has passed since your mother's affairs, I still remember the purpose, if I have the ability, I will not let your mother suffer and leave us early, so I don't want your mother's tragedy to happen to you again. β
Liu Qian was confident, and then said: "Daddy, maybe you are obsessed with this, if you have the ability, is it still the current you? Can my mother be happy with you? If you are unhappy, it is to live for a lifetime, so what is the value? And my mother respects you, loves you, and has been with you for more than ten years, but the happiness she gets is something that others can't get in a lifetime, you say, which is her choice?"
Liu Qian continued: "Daddy, in fact, I have always thought that the fate of life has been arranged, whether you are sad or happy, it is a kind of life, human life is a trajectory, and all kinds of trajectories are intertwined to be the whole life." The trajectory of the mother is destined to have your participation, and your trajectory is also destined to the happiness of you and the mother, you have always attributed the death of the mother to your ability, you can not take care of her very haode, in fact, otherwise, from the moment the mother met you, the life of our family has been produced, and the happiness and ending of the mother have long been doomed. Any change is in vain, if my father is keen on officialdom that day, he will naturally ignore his mother, although his mother will not leave us early, but will she live happily?"
Seeing that Mr. Liu was deep in thought, Liu Qian continued: "Actually, I have always been thinking about my encounter with Zhang Xiaolong, and I also told Yueyue before, since the moment I met Zhang Xiaolong in the fabric shop, our trajectories have been intertwined. What happened during this period, my father must know it, and I don't have to go into details, I can only use the word fate to describe my relationship with Xiaolong. Moreover, there is another very important thing, which maybe Daddy doesn't know. β
Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter?"
Liu Qian said mysteriously: "Daddy, do you think the water in this Guozhuang is particularly delicious?"
Mr. Liu said, "yes, so what?"
Then, Liu Qian told Mr. Liu about her grandmother's illness and going to Luzhen to see a doctor, and Mr. Liu was obviously surprised and asked, "Can you confirm that it is the effect of this well water?"
Liu Qian said: "Of course, you can just look at Zhang Xiaolong's arm, have you seen whose arm bones are broken, can you haode so fast in just one month? β
Mr. Liu frowned and stopped asking, Liu Qian continued: "Daddy, you think, this well water is a priceless treasure, your body has always been very weak, since your mother left, it has not been better, it can make you healthy, but I have always wished, and now with this well water, it is not a luxury to live a long life, this well water is dug out by the Zhang family, it is the Zhang family's thing, so do you think this is another chance for God to give me and Xiaolong?"
"Moreover, the eldest brother has never started a family, and the future sister-in-law does not know whether it is virtuous or not, if I go to the Zhang family and you also move to Guozhuang, on the one hand, I can serve my father, and on the other hand, my father can also enjoy the gift of God, isn't it the best of both worlds?
