Chapter 34 Fate
Mr. Liu asked with concern: "Qianqian, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Liu Qian smiled and said, "Dad, it's okay, I was just a little distracted. What did you ask me just now?"
Mr. Liu said: "Did you bring this tea from home?"
Liu Qian understood what her father meant and said, "Yes, Dad, it's the kind you often drink. When I came here last time, I brought some for myself. 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. The aroma of this tea is really tempting."
Mr. Liu doesn't have any hobbies in his life. He just likes tea. He drinks a lot of various teas and has a lot of them at home. Otherwise, Liu Qian wouldn't like drinking tea. However, the tea he drank today was completely different from the ones he drank in the past. It tasted indescribably fragrant in his mouth. This tea was something he used daily. It must have been because the water used to make the tea was different. Mr. Liu was surprised. Although Guozhuang was far away from Baligou, it was only half a day's journey away. Why was there such a difference in water quality?
Mr. Liu asked: "Qianqian, why is the water in Guozhuang so much better than the water in our Baligou?"
Liu Qian winked at Mr. Liu and said, "Yes, Dad, the water here is indeed clear and pleasant."
Liu Qian knew that her uncle was famous for being outspoken and unable to hide his words. If he knew something, it would mean that all the villagers in Baligou knew about it. He had been told not to spread the word about what he had experienced in Lu Town. Who knew? Will everyone in Baligou know about it now? He must not let the matter of the well water leak out.
Mr. Liu saw Liu Qian blinking at him and tacitly agreed not to ask further questions.
However, Butcher Liu heard this and interrupted: "That's not easy. Just ask Zhang Xiaolong to send you a bucket every day."
Mr. Liu was happy and said: "Second brother, let alone the half-day journey from Guozhuang to Baligou, even if it can be delivered, the water for tea may not be as delicious."
Seeing that Butcher Liu didn't understand, he continued: "The water for making tea is best brought from the river. If it is left for a long time, the vitality in the water will be gone, and the aroma of the tea will be gone."
Butcher Liu had a look of disdain on his face and said, "You scholars are so particular, so why don't I feel the same way? Do you think so, Brother Zhang?" After saying that, he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhang Cai over there also laughed and drank the tea in the cup without saying anything.
Liu Qian stepped forward and poured another drink for everyone.
Mr. Liu picked up a newly poured cup of tea, put it to his nose, smelled it carefully, and then sipped it with his mouth, tasting it carefully. He felt indescribably comfortable.
Butcher Liu laughed and said, "What's so good about drinking this water? It's better to drink it to enjoy it."
Mr. Liu curled his lips and said: "How can you know my joy? I have different interests, so I don't want to say much. It's a pity that after drinking this tea today, you will ask me how to taste tea in the future?"
Butcher Liu was happy and said: "This is not easy. You can just move to Guozhuang. I heard that there is no teacher in Guozhuang. When you come, it is not too late for them to welcome you."
Mr. Liu's eyes lit up and he said: "You, a rough guy, can also come up with good ideas. That's true. There is an ancient saying: 'If you eat three hundred lychees a day, you will live a long life as a Lingnan native.' It's rare that I have the chance to meet such a good person." The water is good and the tea is good. It is a good story to be a Guozhuang person for this good tea."
It's said without intention, but it sounds intentional. Mr. Liu's words "It's rare to be destined" woke up the person in the dream. It was like a bolt of lightning striking Liu Qian's heart, splitting the knot that had been tangled in her heart for many days. Yes, it was rare to be destined. I was not the one a few days ago. I still felt that I was destined to Zhang Xiaolong, but now that I have reached a dead end, I actually doubted this fate again. Now I think about it carefully, from when I met Zhang Xiaolong, who was injured trying to save her, to how I took care of his injury to repay his kindness, to the discovery of precious well water, and now my father's idea of coming to Guozhuang,
She completely eliminated her last layer of worries about marrying far away in order to take care of her father. She knew that this well water was only available to the Zhang family and could not be drunk elsewhere in Guozhuang. Thinking about the magical effects of the well water, She was even more excited. This was a guarantee of her father's good health. Doesn’t all this mean that he and Zhang Xiaolong are destined? This fate is destined by God, isn't it enough for you to make a fool of yourself?
One thought can solve all problems, and the big stone in Liu Qian's heart was removed by God.
Only then did she notice everyone's reaction after her father finished speaking. Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Liu Qian explained: "This lychee is a legendary and delicious fruit that only grows in Lingnan. After the ancients ate this lychee, they never forgot it and said with emotion that if they could eat lychee every day, He would rather move to Lingnan."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
Zhang Cai said in surprise: "If Mr. Liu wants to move to our Guozhuang, we will definitely welcome him. I will report it to the Guo clan leader in Guozhuang and arrange a place for him."
Mr. Liu quickly said: "Brother, this matter is not urgent. We will talk about it later. Let's wait for fate, haha."
Then, Mr. Liu sipped tea again and revealed the real purpose of coming to Zhang's house this time. He looked at Zhang Cai and said: "Brother, the main purpose of our coming this time is to take Qianqian home for a while. This child has been here for a while, and she must be homesick. Our family also needs her to go back and tidy up properly. As for Yueyue, she should have come here a long time ago. She didn't come with Qianqian last time. Because we also need a girl to take care of our family, what do you think about letting her come over and switch with Qianqian this time?"
Zhang Cai did not dare to express his position and quickly 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, and already knew it in her heart. She smiled and said to Mr. Liu and Butcher Liu: "We accept the wishes of the two brothers. Qianqian is here." The time we have stayed here has really helped us a lot. The injuries of Xiaolong, Xiaohu, and our boss have all recovered, and their basic movements are fine. Qianqian doesn’t have to take care of Xiaolong and the others if she stays here. If Mr. Liu If you want Qianqian to go back, I will pack the children's things right now and then go back with you in the afternoon, and there is no need for Yueyue to stay."
Hearing Guo Sufei's words, Liu Yueyue was obviously happy, and Liu Qian looked up and inadvertently saw the disappointment between Zhang Xiaohu's brows. She couldn't help but "thumped" in her heart, and thought to herself: "This little tiger is usually silent. I haven't heard him ask about Yueyue, but looking at this look now, it seems a little troublesome. I need to remind Zhang Xiaohu when I have time, my sister's thoughts are obviously not here."
Butcher Liu was not very happy and said, "Sister-in-law, look at what you said. Didn't we already agree before that Yueyue should do her best? Now that she is here, how can she be allowed to take a break?"
Guo Sufei smiled and said: "Brother Liu, I know you are a cheerful person. If we have any difficulties, how can we hide it from you? Look at these two children and you, Brother Zhang, both have bright faces and are easy to move. There is really no need. Your girl stayed here."
Mr. Liu also laughed at this time, stopped Butcher Liu's repeated insistence, and said: "Since the old sister-in-law said so, I guess she really doesn't need the child to stay, and the second brother doesn't need to insist anymore. As for whether Qianqian will do it later Let’s go back with us and ask her what she means first.”
Liu Qian thought for a while and said: "Well, dad, I won't go home with you this time. I have Yueyue taking care of me at home, so it shouldn't be a big problem. I have only been out for less than a month, and although I miss home, It’s not like I have to go home and take a look. Moreover, Xiaolong’s injury is in the final stage, so I can’t stop at the end, so I’ll wait until he’s completely recovered before I go back.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Butcher Liu couldn't help but stand up and said, "You just discussed it with your father, right? Why do you talk so much like your father?"
Liu Qian asked curiously: "Second uncle, what do you mean by this?"
Before Butcher Liu spoke, Liu Yueyue spoke: "Sister, on the way here just now, two old people made a bet. Your father said that you will definitely not go home, and my father said that you will go home. My father asked why, you Daddy said that Qianqian has never liked to do things that start at the beginning but end at the end. She has only been in Guozhuang for less than a month. Zhang Xiaolong’s injury must not have healed yet. In this case, she will definitely not go home. No, you tell me What dad said is very similar, so of course my dad was very angry and thought you guys were colluding."
Liu Yueyue was very eloquent, saying "your father" and "my father", which made everyone happy.
Liu Qian said to Butcher Liu: "Second uncle watched me grow up, how come he doesn't know my temper?"
Butcher Liu said helplessly: "I only remember that you were a little girl with a runny nose. Who knew that in a few years you and Yueyue would grow up to be grown-up girls? How could I remember your temper? I thought you had never left home. How could I not remember you?" You will miss home, but you are still not as good as your own father."
While talking, Guo Sufei saw that it was late and went out to prepare lunch. Naturally, Liu Qian and Liu Yueyue also went out to help, leaving only a group of men chatting in the room.
The Zhang family's meal was still simple, and it was ready in a short time. Zhang Xiaohua also bought wine from outside the village, and Butcher Liu was naturally beaming with joy.
After lunch, the sun was already setting in the sky. Mr. Liu and the other three people said goodbye and returned to the village. Mr. Liu invited Zhang Cai and said, "Brother, tomorrow is the day when the dragon raises its head on the second day of February. There is a temple fair over there in Baligou. Why not Come to my place for a little gathering tomorrow?"
Zhang Cai thought for a while and refused: "Although the injury is now very good, it has not fully recovered after all. It is inevitable that there will be problems if you walk far away. Moreover, the elderly at home are sick, so it is better not to stay away. Wait until later. If you have time, I will definitely visit you."
Mr. Liu knew it was the truth, so he didn't insist anymore. Everyone parted at the entrance of the village, and Liu Qian took Zhang Xiaohua along the way again.
Then we reluctantly parted ways, watching our loved ones drift away.
