Chapter 25 Night Talk (1)
Liu Qian lay down with her clothes on, thinking a lot in the dark and unable to fall asleep.
On weekdays, Guo Sufei was the one who tidied the house and was the last one to fall asleep, but tonight she lay down on the kang early and did not get up to arrange for others. Other men did not pay attention to these details, but Liu Qian paid attention to them, especially after returning to the house from her grandmother. The strange look on his face made Liu Qian even more suspicious. However, this is a family matter of the Zhang family after all. As an outsider, Liu Qian is really not suitable to ask, so she has to keep it in her heart.
Guo Sufei was tossing and turning in the dark, and occasionally cried. After a long time, Guo Sufei calmed down, and she asked softly: "Qianqian, are you still asleep?"
Liu Qian said carefully: "I'm not asleep yet, Auntie."
Guo Sufei sighed and said apologetically: "Oh, there are some things that make me feel uncomfortable and make you laugh."
Liu Qian apologized and said with a smile: "Auntie, who doesn't encounter annoying things? It's nothing."
There was another moment of silence. Guo Sufei then said: "Qianqian, when did your mother leave you?"
Liu Qian thought for a while and said, "I heard from my father that when I was four years old, I contracted a very serious disease. After seeking medical treatment several times, it didn't work. When my mother went there, I didn't have any impression."
Guo Sufei said: "Having no impression may be a kind of happiness, and you don't have to miss me all the time."
Liu Qian said: "Yes, what my aunt said makes sense. My impression of my mother was all told by my father. My father said that my mother's family was very wealthy, but my father's family was not well off at the time, but my father My mother was impressed by her knowledge, but my grandfather and grandmother were opposed to it and firmly disagreed. In order to be with my father, my mother resolutely left home and cut off contact with my parents. Alas, my grandfather was also ruthless. I still don’t know about them. Wherever we are, he has never come to see us. My father is very knowledgeable, but he doesn’t like government affairs and disdains the intrigues of officialdom. That’s why he never left home. He has been living in a mountain village and making a living by teaching. My mother also lives there. .”
After a pause, Liu Qian continued: "My mother's body bones are already weak, and the doctor told me it was best not to have children. But for my father's sake, my mother still gave birth to my brother. Her vitality was severely damaged at that time, and it will take many years for her to recover." , and when I was pregnant with me, my father also advised my mother, fearing that something might happen to her, but my mother said that since she had the child, it was a gift from God. She was willing to give up everything for the child, and the birth of me went smoothly. , but my mother’s health collapsed, and she was in a bad condition until she passed away. I always thought that if my mother didn’t want me, she would be fine.”
At this point, Liu Qian's words were also choked up.
Guo Sufei comforted her and said: "Qianqian, when you become a mother in the future, you will know that the child is everything in the mother's heart. If you can do 10% for the child, the mother will never do 90%. Although you are still in the mother's belly But everything about you has been engraved in my mother's heart. She will never consider her own body instead of yours. She will consider it for you long ago and bring you safely into this world."
Liu Qian said: "Yes, Auntie, sometimes I feel very grateful to my mother. Although I really only have a vague impression of my mother, she can not only escape the shackles of her family for her own happiness, but also devote herself to her children." Life, sometimes I think about it, maternal love is so ordinary and great. And, aunt, I have not been here for a long time, but I especially like the harmonious atmosphere of your family. Seeing the kind of dependence Xiaohua and the others have on you, I I’m also very envious.”
Guo Sufei said: "Qianqian, I can't compare with your mother. I have lived in this small mountain village since I was a child. I have never read or read. I have not read a lot of books and know many things as your mother. I have been with you since your uncle got married." In our family, I feel that since two people live together, they should live in harmony, respect and love each other, otherwise what fun can there be in life? Later, there were three brothers, Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaohua. You don’t know what it feels like to grow up bit by bit, and your heart is filled with pride and achievement.
Your uncle and I are both illiterate and have little knowledge. Our children suffer along with us and cannot receive a good education. We cannot compare with your brothers and sisters. "
Liu Qian said: "Auntie, what you said is wrong. Although our brothers and sisters have read more books than Xiaolong and the others, know more words, and have more knowledge, Auntie, when Yueyue and I were bullied in the town, , there are so many scholars present, who stands up? It’s not people like Xiaolong who haven’t read many books, but know the justice in the world, and stand up without fear of power and fists. This kind of good is A truly good person may not be better than a person who doesn’t read if he reads more books but lacks passion. If he pays more attention, he may not be better than someone who doesn’t read.
Guo Sufei also said happily at this time: "Speaking of them, I am really happy. These children are kind-hearted in nature and have been very sensible since they were young. Although they are naughty, they do not cause harm to others. They also know their family background and never cause trouble for us. , people in the village have been very fond of them since they were young. They have really done a lot to help others. They have raised them so well that I, as a mother, am very proud of them. In fact, sometimes I think about it. , if our family situation is really improved, they may not be able to reassure us now."
Liu Qian also agreed: "Yes, Auntie, sometimes, a person's fate is destined by nature. He can grow well in this environment. Forcibly changing the environment may not lead to good results."
Then, Liu Qian saw that Guo Sufei's mood had improved a little, so she continued to ask: "Aunt, it seems that you haven't told me what happened today. It's not a good thing to keep things in your heart. Talking about it is also good for your health."
Guo Sufei forced a smile and said: "Look at me, when it comes to children, we have gone off topic. I really miss children a lot in my life."
Liu Qian did not respond, and Guo Sufei continued: "As a mother, I care about my children, worrying about their children's coldness, heat, food and clothing, but I ignore my mother. When I was a child, my mother was also taking care of me. Me, pay attention to me, she also sees me grow up and become an adult. Now I am focused on my children and have forgotten my mother early, although I take care of her every day, cook for her, and cook for her. I have new clothes, but I rarely talk to her and ask her what she thinks. Now that I think about it, I should do more for my mother."
Liu Qian also felt panicked. Yes, mothers all over the world love their children, but their children often ignore their mothers. She comforted Guo Sufei and said: "Auntie, grandma is also happy to see that your heart is focused on your child. She won't mind that you don't care about her. She will only give the love she has to you to her grandson." .Besides, Auntie, your mother is also by your side, isn’t it better than me, who doesn’t have a mother to care for you?”
Guo Sufei said quietly: "But when you wanted to repay your mother, you found that your time with your mother was running out. Do you regret that you did not discover this earlier?"
Liu Qian also sighed and said: "Yes, it is a great pity in the world to have a son who wants to support you but does not take care of him. However, aunt, grandma is so old. She can see you get married and see the birth of your grandson. She must be very happy when she grows up. Although you do not care about her directly, you are actually loving and caring for her indirectly. I think grandma will not blame you. "
After a pause for a moment, Guo Sufei said: "Qianqian, it's good to be as reading, literate and sensible as you are. After listening to your words, I feel a lot more relieved. We village women in the countryside have There’s just no way around the corner.”
Liu Qian said: "Auntie, don't praise me like that, I am also from a farmer's family."
Guo Sufei said: "Qianqian, please stop being modest. At least I know that there is no child as smart as you in these four villages and eight villages. By the way, what grandma said to you this afternoon was rude, so don't worry about it. ah."
Liu Qian said: "No, Auntie."
Guo Sufei was quiet for a while and finally said: "Qianqian, but then again, this is also her last wish, and our family also likes you very much. I have always wanted to ask you what you think. Since today We two have talked so much, so I don’t care about that much. Do you think Xiaolong is okay?”
Now, it was Liu Qian's turn to be quiet.
Liu Qian didn't know how to answer in her heart. Ordinarily, she was very satisfied with Xiaolong, but after all, the time was still short, and the essence of a person could not be clearly seen through getting along with each other in the past few days. However, we are destined to meet thousands of miles away, but we are not acquainted if we are not destined to meet. Sometimes, fate is a thing that is difficult to explain clearly. A few days of getting along can leave an unforgettable impression, and years of getting along leave a lasting impression. Maybe only friendship is the only thing; the same is true for looking at a person. To understand a person, sometimes it only takes one glance. If you can't understand, looking at a thousand eyes will only be a blur. And the fate between herself and Xiaolong, from a hero saving a beauty to a beauty giving her body to him, is really a good story passed down from generation to generation. But just because she bets her life's happiness on Zhang Xiaolong, she is naturally still worried about it. hesitate.
Grandma is very good to me, and the Zhang family is also very good to me. I also like Zhang Xiaolong very much. I also like this poor but warm and harmonious home. This home is also very much like my own home that respects each other, loves each other, and is full of warmth. I am also willing to join this family, and I am also willing to fulfill my grandmother's last wish and see her leave this world without regrets, but all of this seems too green. Do I need to give her a period of brewing and fermentation? ?
Liu Qian hesitated and found it difficult to answer.
After a while, he said: "Aunt, it's too late today, let's talk about it another day."
Guo Sufei also sighed and stopped talking.
In the small courtyard of the Zhang family, the moonlight shines brightly, how many people are asleep?
