Chapter 42 Proposal

It was Zhang Xiaolong who came in.

The two stood at the door listening to the conversation between grandma and mother. Liu Qian's face turned red with embarrassment. Zhang Xiaolong watched Liu Qian's expression while listening. When he saw grandma's disappointed look, he couldn't help but pull Liu Qian's hand. He rushed into the yard with his hand, and said happily: "Qianqian will not go home."

Liu Qian's face was red and she wanted to withdraw her hand, but for some reason, she didn't do it. Instead, she followed Zhang Xiaolong obediently and ran into the small courtyard. While running, I was still thinking: "Thanks to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, this layer of window paper has finally been pierced. Some time ago, I was worried about how Guo Sufei would respond if she asked herself again, but now it was wiped out by Zhang Xiaolong's impulse. Zhang Xiaolong is really his lucky star, it’s fate.”

Everyone looked at the two people who rushed into the courtyard inexplicably. When they stood in front of grandma, they saw Zhang Xiaolong holding Liu Qian's hand, and a knowing look appeared on his face. That's it. Zhang Xiaolong saw the warm looks in everyone's eyes, and then he noticed Liu Qian's silky hand in his own. He didn't know for a moment whether to let go or continue to hold it.

Guo Sufei saw her son's embarrassment and asked hurriedly: "Xiaolong, when you said Qianqian didn't go home just now, was it Qianqian's own intention?"

Zhang Xiaolong frowned, not knowing how to answer. At this moment, the little hand he held in his hand gently scratched his fingers with his fingers. He understood and said happily: "Yes, mother, yes." Qianqian told me."

Everyone was overjoyed, and grandma was also delighted.

Guo Sufei walked up to Liu Qian and asked in disbelief: "Qianqian, this is a lifelong event. You have to think about it clearly and don't regret it in the future."

Others didn't think much about it. Knowing that Guo Sufei wanted to confirm Liu Qian's thoughts, Liu Qian felt happy first. This family is really simple. This should be what her family members told her, so they said it first. Liu Qian also knew that she could no longer hesitate like last time. She finally nodded slightly, then broke away from Zhang Xiaolong's hand and ran out.

When Guo Sufei saw it, she quickly pushed her son and said, "Why don't you chase after him?"

Zhang Xiaolong woke up from a dream and said, "Okay."

But after walking a few steps, he came back and said, "Dad, give me some money. We are going out to buy meat. We don't have any money."

Zhang Cai quickly took out some broken silver from his arms and gave it to him. Xiaolong took it and ran out quickly, chasing Liu Qian who was obviously waiting for him outside the yard.

Grandma heard Zhang Xiaolong run away and said with a smile: "This kid is really destined to Qianqian. Even without taking money, it can be turned into an opportunity. From what you said just now, I thought he had no chance with Qianqian."

Guo Sufei also said with emotion: "Yeah, last time I asked Qianqian what she meant, it seemed she didn't want to. I don't know why I asked again. This is good, everything has been resolved."

Zhang Cai also happily said: "Xiaohua, go and get me some wine at the entrance of the village, so that I can be happy too."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Okay."

He got up and ran out. After running far away, Guo Sufei asked: "Did you give Xiaohua any money?"

Zhang Cai said depressedly: "No, let's wait until he comes back."

In the next few days, the Zhang family was in a happy mood. Liu Qian would blush slightly when she saw Zhang Xiaolong and deliberately avoid him. Zhang Xiaolong would also be inexplicably at a loss and make a lot of jokes. The family members watched the two people's embarrassment in amusement and shared the sweetness of their love.

Grandma's expression is also very good, but she is getting thinner day by day. She feels like she has lost weight after not seeing her for a few days. Guo Sufei is happy for her son and sad for her mother at the same time. It is a combination of ice and fire.

Others couldn't clear up her grandmother's situation, but Zhang Xiaohua could sense that something was wrong with her. On this day, he couldn't bear it anymore, secretly pulled Guo Sufei and said, "Mom, I want to tell you something."

Guo Sufei was very surprised by her youngest son's behavior and said, "What trouble did you get into? You are so sneaky."

"

Zhang Xiaohua said angrily: "Mother, when have I ever caused trouble for you?"

Guo Sufei touched his head and said with a smile: "What is that?"

Zhang Xiaohua said sadly: "Mom, I can feel that there are things floating away on my grandma. If they float away a little, my grandma will lose weight. And I also feel that there are not many of these things on my grandma."

Guo Sufei said angrily: "You kid, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Xiaohua argued: "Yes, mother, I really feel it. I told Sister Qianqian before, and she believed me."

"Hey~ what did your sister Qianqian say?" Guo Sufei asked curiously.

"Sister Qianqian said it's because my grandma loves me the most and I care about her the most, so I can feel her physical condition. But she said it's hard to explain. Some close relatives can know it anyway." Zhang Xiaohua answered seriously.

After hearing this, Guo Sufei left Zhang Xiaohua and hurried to find Zhang Cai. Zhang Xiaohua saw that her mother cared about what she said and did not want to think so, so she felt very happy and went to accompany her grandmother.

Guo Sufei met Zhang Cai and told Zhang Cai what Zhang Xiaohua said. Zhang Cai thought about it and said, "I have heard of such things before. Maybe what Xiaohua said is true. It seems that we have to make some preparations first." .”

After hearing this, Guo Sufei could only nod sadly.

However, she immediately asked Zhang Cai: "What about the matter between Qianqian and Xiaolong? First, my mother wants to see Xiaolong get married, and secondly, if my mother really goes, what about the matter between Xiaolong and Qianqian?" We have to step back, we don’t know what will happen.”

Zhang Cai said: "How about we go to Liu Qian's house to propose marriage in a few days. If we can do the best thing before mother leaves, if it doesn't work, let's settle this matter first."

Guo Sufei also nodded in agreement and said, "Then let me ask Qianqian what she means first."

That night, Guo Sufei told Liu Qian about the marriage proposal. She thought Liu Qian would shirk it like last time, but unexpectedly, although Liu Qian under the lamp was very shy, she still nodded and agreed without hesitation, which made Guo Sufei feel very sad. It's gratifying. He is really a good child who can take things up and let go. Knowing that grandma wants to see good things happen between her and Xiaolong, she no longer has any scruples and makes a wise choice. This also convinced Guo Sufei that the daughter-in-law her family favored was really the best daughter-in-law in the world.

The next day, Zhang Cai prepared gifts and took Zhang Xiaohua to Liu Qian's home in Baligou to discuss the engagement. Zhang Xiaohua was also very happy. He missed Butcher Liu’s pork belly very much.

Baligou is some distance away from Guozhuang. Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly hurried. When they reached the entrance of the village, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Zhang Cai's body was really tired after his illness. He sat on the big stone at the entrance of the village to rest, but Zhang Xiaohua It was as if nothing had happened and his breathing did not change. This not only made Zhang Cai envious of the young man's body. In fact, Zhang Xiaohua also had shortness of breath when she came last time, which was much better than Zhang Cai, but she definitely didn't feel as tired as she did this time.

After Zhang Cai had rested, the two of them got up again. Under the leadership of Zhang Xiaohua, they arrived at Mr. Liu's home.

Mr. Liu's home was still the same, and the door was open, but Zhang Xiaohua shouted for a long time, but no one answered. Zhang Xiaohua thought there was no one at home, so she and Zhang Cai walked in with gifts. Walking into the yard, Zhang Cai saw the flowers and plants planted in an orderly manner in the yard. Although spring had not yet arrived and there were no flowers in bloom, he could still see the exquisiteness of the yard and the elegance of the owner. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Only such an environment can raise an outstanding child like Liu Qian. Of course, I also have expectations in my heart. If my small courtyard can be like this, and I can take care of myself in such an environment when I grow old, I will be satisfied in this life. While Zhang Cai was looking at the small courtyard, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes went to the side room next to the courtyard. The logic in Zhang Xiaohua's mind was very simple. Since the door to the courtyard was unlocked, it must be at home. However, no one answered after calling for a long time. , then he must be busy with something. What can a scholar be busy with? It's nothing more than writing and painting. I heard Liu Qian said that his home has a study room, which is next to the main room. Maybe Mr. Liu is in the study room.

Sure enough, in the wing on the right, I saw a familiar figure from behind, it was Mr. Liu. He was facing away from the door, writing something at his desk. Zhang Xiaohua grabbed her father who was walking towards the main room and pointed at Mr. Liu's back. Only then did Zhang stop. Turning around, she followed Zhang Xiaohua to the door of the study. Zhang Xiaohua raised her leg and was about to go in, but her father held her back. Zhang made a silent gesture and then stopped. Zhang Xiaohua knew what her father meant and was afraid of disturbing her. He met Mr. Liu, so he stood next to his father quietly. The father and son stood at the door of the study room and waited for a while. Mr. Liu was still doing his own thing and showed no intention of stopping. Zhang Xiaohua felt a little bored and was about to say something to her father when she suddenly heard footsteps. came from the door of the yard, and the two looked back and saw that it was Liu Qian's brother Liu Kai who was back.

Liu Kai entered the house and saw two people standing in the yard. After careful identification, he found that they were Zhang Cai and his son. With a smile on his face, he quickly stepped forward to salute, looked at his father who was busy in the study, and said to Zhang Cai sheepishly. The two said: "My father is like this. Once he is busy with his own affairs, he will forget all the things around him. When he is done, he will naturally come out. Please invite me to sit in the main room." Then they accepted the gift. , politely let Zhang Cai and the two into the main room, and made tea and water for them.

Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohua walked for almost a whole morning, and they were really thirsty. They took the tea and drank it. While drinking, they thought: "The taste of this tea is really not as good as ours."

Liu Kai watched the two of them finish their tea and take a short rest before asking: "Why did uncle suddenly come to our house today? Didn't Qianqian come back with you? Is she okay?"

Zhang Cai quickly said: "Qianqian did not come back with us today. She is very good at our house. I came today because I have something to discuss with Mr. Liu."
