Chapter 33 Choice

This evening, the Zhang family had a very lively time, which had not been lively since the Chinese New Year.

The stone that weighed on everyone's hearts was temporarily thrown away. During dinner, Zhang Cai even poured himself a few drinks to celebrate his son's recovery. After dinner, everyone was busy with some farm work under the oil lamp. They also talked happily about how to cultivate the crops in the fields after the spring, how to fertilize the newly opened fields on the slopes, and the division of labor among the three brothers Zhang Xiaolong, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaolong. It seemed that tomorrow Just like spring plowing, looking forward to the hope.

Under the flickering lamp flame, no one noticed the lonely look on Liu Qian's face.

Also, Zhang Xiaohua’s thoughtful eyes.

At dawn the next morning, Liu Qian got up reluctantly. She was so worried about gains and losses last night that she had insomnia. She didn't go to bed until dawn. When she got up, she found that her eyes were a little red and her complexion was not good. Guo Sufei also asked her with concern if she was sick.

After breakfast, everyone was busy with their own business. It was already February and the weather was warm. Zhang Cai and others also checked the farm tools to see if any were broken or needed repair, as well as the seeds in the cellar. I came out to bask in the sun for a while and saw that the ice in the river had melted. The land in the fields should have thawed and could be cultivated. Spring is coming.

Just as Liu Qian was helping Guo Sufei spread the crop seeds in the sun to dry, she suddenly heard someone calling her: "Qianqian~"

It was such a familiar voice. She quickly raised her head and looked past the still low wall of the Zhang family. She saw her father, uncle Liu Butcher and cousin Liu Yueyue who had already walked to the door.

She cried out in surprise: "Daddy~", and then like a little swallow, she flew to the door and held her father's hand. She hadn't seen her family in almost half a month, so why didn't she miss her? When I first saw it, my eyes were red and my nose was sore.

Liu Yueyue said from the side: "Sister, there is still me, don't you see me?"

Liu Qian also held her hand and said, "I saw it, how could I not see it? I am such a beautiful sister, how could I not see it?"

Liu Yueyue giggled and said: "Sister, look at you, you haven't seen your father for a few days, and your eye circles are red. Don't say that I'm crying again. You won't be any better. Oh, your face is so bad. You must have endured hardship here, but no, your skin seems to be more delicate and whiter than before, and you are also a little fatter than before. Why haven't I seen you for more than ten days? How come you are so beautiful? Are you catching up with me?"

Liu Qian said angrily: "You little girl, you are just trying to scare me with nice words."

Liu Yueyue became anxious and said, "Really, sister, I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, just look in the mirror."

Liu Qian's heart moved and she stopped answering.

How could Mr. Liu and Butcher Liu notice this? It was just two children laughing.

At this time, Zhang Cai also came out with his family to greet him.

Mr. Liu quickly stepped forward to salute and asked Zhang Cai: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you in good health?"

Zhang Cai returned the favor and said, "Thanks to my brother, I'm fine now. Look, I threw away my crutches."

Then let Zhang Xiaolong, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua come up one after another to receive the gift.

When Mr. Liu came here last time, he met everyone, but the two brothers were lying on the hospital bed at that time. When they met this time, looking at these two impressive young men, they couldn't help but admire in their hearts: "These two Although the child looks ordinary, it is rare that he has a restrained expression. He has never read a book, but he has such a temperament. He is a teachable child." He quickly helped the three of them up and said with a smile: "The injuries of the two nephews seem to be in good condition. , it's gratifying, but nephew Xiao Long has injured his muscles and bones, so he should pay more attention to it. He can rest for more than a hundred days before working, but don't hurt his body just for the farm work in front of him. Oh, by the way, Why did it take only ten days to remove the plywood?"

Zhang Xiaolong moved his arm and said, "I will pay attention to what uncle says. You see, my arm is no longer seriously injured. Although I can't do heavy work,

It is estimated that in a few days, ordinary farm work should be no problem. "

Butcher Liu answered: "Nephew, your body is not as strong as usual. Wang Er from our village went to the mountain to cut firewood and fell on his buttocks. He had to lie in bed for half a year. You, boy, have only been in bed for a few days. You will be fine." ?Let me take a look.”

As she said this, she was about to grab Zhang Xiaolong's arm. Liu Qian was anxious beside her and quickly blocked her uncle's hand, saying strangely: "Uncle, your hands are used to holding fat pigs weighing 100 kilograms. Xiaolong's arms are just right. You are like this." Grab Xiaolong’s hand and don’t damage his arm again.”

Butcher Liu took his hand back in embarrassment and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Then don't look at it, don't look at it."

Liu Yueyue seemed to see something next to her, nudged Liu Qian with her elbow, winked at her, and smiled mischievously.

Liu Qian's face felt hot, and her hands and feet became uncomfortable.

Fortunately, at this time, Mr. Liu saw Zhang Xiaohua again, touched his head very fondly and said: "Xiaohua, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have grown a lot taller. I will catch up with you by the end of this year." Two brothers, and looking at your eyes, they are full of energy and I feel you are much more sensible."

This is true. When Mr. Liu met Zhang Xiaohua for the first time, he had just been beaten by a bully and was worried about the injuries of his father and brother. Naturally, he looked gloomy and listless. Now that his family members have recovered from their injuries, he is naturally in a good mood, and he is also in a good mood. For unknown reasons, he looks different.

That Zhang Xiaohua was also well-behaved. She raised her head and said, "Uncle, this is all due to Sister Liu. She not only takes care of my elder brother and helps our mother with housework, but also teaches me a lot of truths and teaches me how to read a lot of words. With her influence, I will naturally become sensible."

Mr. Liu was so happy at these words that he laughed loudly and said, "Good boy, good boy, brother, I envy you for having such good children."

Zhang Cai said modestly: "We are negligent in discipline, and they are rarely literate. Brother, you are laughing."

Mr. Liu disagreed: "No, no, this is innate temperament and cannot be cultivated. Even though you have a rich family, it is rare to have such a good son."

Butcher Liu said strangely: "You two should stop flattering each other. We are all acquaintances. After walking all morning, my throat is so thirsty that it is smoking. Please go in and drink some water."

Zhang Cai and Mr. Liu laughed loudly when they heard this, and Zhang Cai quickly moved everyone to the main room.

Everyone sat down to talk. Guo Sufei and Liu Qian went to boil water and make tea, and Liu Yueyue followed them.

Before the water boiled, Guo Sufei went to get tea from the house. Liu Yueyue asked Liu Qian quietly: "Sister, are you interested in that Zhang Xiaolong?"

Liu Qian blushed and said, "What's interesting, how can I find it?"

Liu Yueyue laughed at her and said, "Looking at your shy face and peach blossoms in your eyes, I know that you are in love with spring. Why don't you just invite me here?"

Liu Qian said: "You girl, why do you talk so much in this movie? Are you not here to see Zhang Xiaohu?"

After hearing this, Liu Yueyue said seriously: "Sister, what you said is wrong. Have you forgotten what we said before? Although Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu are good people and saved us, our ideal is to get married. A well-educated, suave, and handsome scholar. The two of them were engaged in farm work. They spent their whole lives digging in the fields. Could it be possible that we would also be farmers’ wives for the rest of our lives? At that time, I was very grateful to Zhang Xiaohu. He does have a crush on him, and I won’t deny it now, but I thought about it carefully later, and I don’t want to jump into this pit of fire. Sister, you have to understand, this is a lifelong matter, and if you choose the wrong one, it will be too late to regret it. of."

Liu Qian also put away her smile at this time and said seriously: "Yes, Yueyue, that's why I am particularly hesitant. Although I hope that my husband is a scholar, I have met so many scholars over the years. None of them impressed me as much as Zhang Xiaolong, a farmer. He has temperament and courage that most people don't have. I only knew him for a short period of one month. This short period of time is dozens of years longer than that of many people. I have been feeling deeply for years. I cannot tell you what I feel in my heart. It cannot be described in words. In fact, your choice is not wrong, and my choice is not wrong either. Everyone has their own freedom and wants to Make your own choices.”

Liu Yueyue smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, I hope your choice is right. In the future..."

Liu Qian interrupted her and said, "It's too early to say this now. I don't have a final choice yet."

Liu Yueyue stopped asking, and both of them fell silent.

Not long after, Guo Sufei took out the tea leaves and boiled the water. Liu Qian made the tea, and the three of them returned to the main room together.

Everyone in the main room was laughing and talking happily.

Liu Qian poured the tea to everyone and sat down silently, thinking about her own thoughts.

The Zhang family members were used to drinking this tea and didn't care about it. Butcher Liu drank it like a cow and couldn't taste the taste. Liu Yueyue also seemed a little worried. She took a sip absently and put it down. She didn't even notice Zhang Xiaohu. Pretending to glance over casually.

Only Mr. Liu took a sip inadvertently at first, then his face changed drastically. He took a second sip in disbelief and frowned deeply. Then, after smelling the aroma of tea floating in the cup, he drank the third sip again. The three of them became surprised and were about to speak.

Zhang Cai saw the three sips of tea that Mr. Liu drank and asked hurriedly: "Brother, is there something wrong with this tea? Does it taste bad?"

Mr. Liu said: "No, it doesn't taste bad, it tastes so good. Brother, what kind of tea is this?"

Zhang Cai said awkwardly: "Lao Di, I don't know. Our family has never drank tea before. This is the tea Liu Qian brought from your family."

Mr. Liu turned to Liu Qian and asked: "Qianqian, is this the tea you brought from home?"

Liu Qian was thinking about her own worries when she heard her father ask her, and she quickly said: "What, Daddy, what are you asking me?"
