Chapter 907 Chapter 207 Her Eyes Are Clearer than Lake Water

Sleep deeply all night.

In fact, Li Qian's sleep quality has always been quite good. First, he maintains a certain amount of exercise every year, which consumes a lot of energy. Second, he arranges endless tasks for himself every day, which consumes a lot of mental energy. In addition, Going to bed on time and getting up on time for several years has given him a pretty good sleep, which has supported him along the way and still keeps him full of energy every day.

But even so, he felt that he still had the sweetest sleep in recent years.

In the British Lake District at night, the temperature is actually very low, but the insulation conditions in the wooden cottages are not bad, and a wool blanket can sleep very comfortably.

At five o'clock in the morning, Li Qian opened his eyes.

When I got up to wash, I met Helena who was also up, had finished washing, and was about to go out.

Seeing Li Qian get up, she looked very surprised, and said with a smile: "You are a young man who likes to get up early, that's great!"

Li Qian smiled and said, "You are also a young man, Helena."

For a woman in her forties, that was the best flattery in the world.

Helena was very helpful.

She asked, "Are you going out for a walk too?"

Li Qian nodded while squeezing the toothpaste, "Yes, ma'am, is there anything I can do for you?"

Helena shook her head, "I'm going to the vegetable market to buy something, but it's very simple, and I'll be back soon." While speaking, she pointed to the room inside and said, "You can wait for him for ten minutes, he has already woken up , you can go to the lake for a walk together. Believe me, the scenery in the morning is very beautiful."

Li Qian nodded at her, saw that she turned her head and went out, and then brushed her teeth.

Less than five minutes later, Li Qian was busy grinding coffee in the kitchen when he heard James McCullough open the door and come out behind him.

So, ten minutes later, the two walked out the door side by side.

Both had pipes in their mouths.

It was a very relaxing feeling.

Li Qian couldn't help but think of the villa Qi Jie bought in Hainan, and thought to find some time to live there for a few days, it was his own house, and it would definitely be more comfortable to live there.

Tobacco was repeatedly recommended by the old man, and it was a British tobacco brand he liked to smoke most.

Very spicy.

But facing the morning breeze, walking all the way to the lake with a pipe in its mouth, there are wild flowers on both sides of the road that Li Qian can't name at all. After taking such a sip for a long time, exhaling gently from the nostrils, the smoke is wonderful.

The old man is sixty years old, but he has a strong desire to express.

Talk to talk.

Let's go to the lake for a walk, have a look, and then walk back. Helena has already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, Li Qian began to learn how to make pipes from James McCullough.

To be honest, this job is not difficult, and such requirements as ingenuity and dexterity are simply the minimum requirements for a young artist in his twenties.

Even, if you look at it simply, this job can be classified as a carpenter's job.

Choose a piece of briar root, conceive the shape of the pipe you want to make, and then roughly cut the wood according to the shape of the briar root, and cut out a rough shape bit by bit, and then finely polish it. Polish it into the shape you want a little bit, and this completes the simplest rough embryo.

Of course, this is definitely something that can only be done well with the heart.

In the morning, the two of them, the old and the young, were busy in the workshop, discussing things from time to time, and then doing their own work. Helena came over and stood for a while from time to time, looking at the two with a smile on her face.

Until it was close to noon, Helena had just brought two cups of coffee when the front door rang suddenly. Helena walked back and said suddenly, "Oh, baby, why are you here?"

Li Qian was puzzled and looked at James.

James McCullough froze for a moment, then happily put down the work in his hands. Soon, a girl about the height of Helena walked into the yard. With a doting look on his face, James walked over with open arms, "Come on, baby, let Daddy hug you!"

It turned out to be their daughter.

And fortunately, she almost perfectly inherited the beauty and figure of her mother Helena.

Before coming here, Li Qian deliberately checked the information related to James McCullough, so he not only knew a lot about the love story between Helena and him, but also knew that the two of them had a daughter whom they loved very much.

Elizabeth McCullough.

However, according to the information in the impression, she is about fifteen years old this year?

She was almost 1.7 meters tall—looking closer, she was even a little taller than her mother Helena.

The beauty has begun to be thrilling.

Seeing Li Qian, she seemed to be slightly stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and looked at Li Qian curiously.

Li Qian had already taken off his gloves and walked over, holding out his hand, "Hi, I'm Li Qian. I'm from China."

Elizabeth shook hands with him, introduced herself: "Elizabeth." Then said: "I know you, I am your fan and your movie fan."

Then she saw the sawdust on Li Qian's glove, rolled the whites of her eyes, "Oh, my God! You are also a carpenter!"

James laughed.

…………

Helena is a loyal fan of her husband, so even though she loves her daughter Elizabeth very much, Li Qian can feel it even when James babbles about how much he loves his daughter. Go where, play as you want, from the time Elizabeth started school at the age of seven or eight, she can basically be classified as "wild".

Stocking is pure stocking.

"Elizabeth, we are going to live in France for a month, you should go to school obediently!"

"Elizabeth, your father is going to live in the Lake District for a while, you should go to school and don't skip class!"

This is the life in Elizabeth's self-narration.

This time, Elizabeth, who mainly lived in a boarding school in London, was finally able to go home for two days, but when she got home, she found that only the nanny was at home. Then, she didn’t even say hello. Those familiar with the road got into the car and hit the road, heading straight to the lake area.

This has to be left in the country. When a fifteen-year-old girl travels far away, her parents will usually send her there. Even if she is sent to school, at the school gate or downstairs in the dormitory, she must continue to remind her.

But in a family like the McCullough family, Elizabeth, who was raised close to the wild since she was a child, didn't take this matter seriously.

After eating together at noon, Helena said, "Jamie, it's time for you to take a nap."

James protested loudly, "Why should I take a nap, I'm not an old man!"

So they rested for a while after the meal, and the two continued to work with their pipes in their mouths. Elizabeth stood outside the workshop and watched, reminding Li Qian a few words from time to time—it can be seen from her words that although she satirized her father It's a "carpenter", but she should be quite familiar with pipe making.

Half an hour later, James started yawning.

After another ten minutes, the old man said, "I have to go to rest."

Elizabeth shouted loudly, "Hey, why are you taking a nap, you are not an old man!"

The old man didn't turn his head back, and waved his hands behind him, "Thank you for reminding me baby."

When the old man went to sleep, Elizabeth stood at the door of the workshop and watched Li Qian polish his work that was about to be formed. She felt very boring, so she asked suddenly: "Hey, Qian, can you teach me how to play the guitar?"

Li Qian turned to look at her, "Of course! Of course!"

Elizabeth regained her spirits all of a sudden, "It's great!" She turned around and wanted to run, but stopped again, with a regretful expression on her face, "Oh, my God, there are no guitars here!"

Li Qian smiled, shrugged regretfully, and continued to polish his work.

Elizabeth lost her energy all of a sudden, leaning against the door and watching Li Qian patiently serving the piece of wood.

"Oh, it's ugly!" she complained without hesitation.

Li Qian smiled, stretched his arms, and said helplessly, "So you're not the first!"

After a pause, he said: "In fact, I know that many people say that I am not good at making things full of beauty, uh...but...I think it's quite beautiful, right?"

He picked up his work, looked at it with pride, and showed it to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes helplessly.

Li Qian shook his head and laughed.

"Want to take a walk by the lake?" Elizabeth asked suddenly.

Li Qian turned to look at her, but before she could speak, Elizabeth seemed to be afraid that Li Qian would reject her, and added: "I know where my father's wooden boat is hidden! I think he must not have told you!"

This is a bit interesting.

Li Qian asked: "Can you row a boat?"

Elizabeth nodded with pride, "Of course."

…………

The boat ride on the lake is indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

Elizabeth said while rowing: "I have been able to row a boat by myself since I was seven or eight years old."

Li Qian barely stood up staggeringly, staring into the distance.

The surface of the lake is so clear that it is blue.

This is a very small wooden boat, which can only accommodate two people.

Li Qian is so big, although sitting is not a big problem, but when he stands up, the boat is a bit difficult to balance - standing up and taking a look, he quickly sat down carefully.

Elizabeth also laughed at him, "You are so cowardly!"

Li Qian shrugged and did not refute.

When the boat reached the lake, Elizabeth stopped her oars and let the boat float on the water.

She didn't speak, just looked at everything around her.

Li Qian didn't speak either.

Suddenly Li Qian knocked on the boat's clapper and started to beat the time.

Elizabeth turned to look at him.

He began to sing softly, in Chinese:

"Swan geese in the sky,

Line up in pairs,

The river is long, the autumn grass is yellow,

The sound of the piano on the grassland is sad.

The swan geese headed south,

flying over the reeds,

The sky is vast, where do the geese go?

My heart is my hometown in the north.

..."

Elizabeth rested her chin on her hand and looked at him quietly.

A pair of tile-blue tile-blue eyes are clearer than lake water.

After Li Qian finished singing, it took her a while to come back to her senses, but she still stared at Li Qian and said, "Although I don't understand Chinese, but...it sounds so good."

Li Qian smiled, "Thank you!"

Then he asked, "May I be in charge of rowing back? You will teach me how to row!"

Elizabeth immediately cheered up, as if she was very excited that she could teach Li Qian a skill, "Okay, okay! It's actually very simple... I will know it when I'm seven or eight years old!"

As a result, Li Qian rowed farther and farther.

Elizabeth laughed without any lady image.

Then the boat wobbled and was circled on the water by the rower Li Qian.

Fortunately, with Elizabeth's guidance, Li Qian was careful, and the boat would not capsize.

When we went to Taihu Lake together, Li Qian actually wanted to try rowing by himself. At that time, Xie Bing’s father did find a boat for her, but it had a motor. It's just that I didn't experience the fun of hand rowing.

After working hard for at least half an hour, Li Qian, who had initially mastered the rowing skills, finally rowed the boat to the shore.

Elizabeth laughed at him brazenly, "You are so stupid!"

Hiding the boat again, the two walked back together.

With the experience just now, Elizabeth suddenly became more talkative, complaining to Li Qian about her parents, especially about the origin of her name——

"My mum told me that when I was born, they were talking about my name and my dad worked so hard to think of two names for me, Elizabeth and Kate... God, can you imagine? A film master, a famous artist, named his only child Elizabeth and Kate! My God!"

Hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help laughing.

She knew what Elizabeth meant—in the UK, the most common and easiest names for girls were Elizabeth and Kate. It's like a boy's name is David or John.

Well, it is also similar to the founding, patriotism, and strength of China in another time and space...etc.

Then, Li Qian naturally told Elizabeth his name——Qian.

He picked up a wooden stick, wrote the Chinese character "谢谢" on an open space, and explained to Elizabeth, "This word, in Chinese, means modest and humble. My father is a high school teacher and teaches Chinese. , He gave me this name in the hope that in the future I will be humble and self-disciplined, treat others with humility, and not be ostentatious.”

The connotation of the name, in Elizabeth's opinion, was simply beautiful.

It's just that she doesn't seem to understand why Chinese characters can use words like "modesty" as a name.

"Qian, when the opportunity is right, can you teach me Chinese?" she asked.

Li Qian replied without thinking, "Of course! But learning Chinese is difficult, and it takes a long time to study hard before you can master it. Therefore, if you want to learn Chinese, you'd better pass a professional It is better to study with teachers and professional schools.”

Elizabeth nodded, "Okay, I will sign up to take Chinese as an elective when I get back."
