Chapter 17 Thanks
Chapter 17 Thank you ()
When Liu Qian's father and brother came to the Zhang family, it was already midnight.
Butcher Liu was basking in the sun and chatting in the yard with Zhang Cai. The walls of the Zhang family yard were too short. Butcher Liu saw Mr. Liu and Liu Kai who were brought over by the villagers from afar. They saw both of them dressed in new clothes. Liu Kai followed his father and held several huge gift boxes in his hand.
Butcher Liu quickly got up, greeted Zhang Cai for a while, and went out to greet his brother. Zhang Cai shouted to the house: "Damn the child, Liu Qian's father is here."
When Liu Qian heard the shout, she did not throw the needlework like Liu Yueyue and trot out of the inner room, but carefully placed half of her work on the table and waited for Guo Sufei to leave first before she came out.
When Liu Qian walked to the yard, butcher Liu and Liu Yueyue had already surrounded their father and brother and arrived at the fence gate, where Zhang Cai was greeting him with a cane. After an introduction and greeting, Liu Qian then walked to the father and brother to salute him. Mr. Liu held his daughter's hand and looked at his daughter's expression carefully. He saw that there was no trace left by the familiar face because of what happened the day before yesterday, and there was no panic or fear in his eyes, but the circles of his eyes were slightly red. Mr. Liu couldn't help but feel guilty, he was not thinking carefully. He patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "You are suffering, child."
Liu Qian wiped her eyes and said with a smile: "My daughter is fine. Thanks to Brother Xiaolong's family's strong help, we left the tiger's mouth."
Mr. Liu signaled Liu Kai to hand over the gift box and said to Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei: "I will never thank you for your kindness. These little gifts are not respectful, so I will show my heart. I hope my benefactor will accept it."
Zhang Cai quickly pushed the gift box back and said politely: "We were just right and didn't do much. In the end, they and us also had other people."
Mr. Liu insisted on handing over and said, "Thanks to you. If you hadn't helped me, my child would have suffered a disaster, and those two young heroes might not have been able to see him."
Seeing the two of them pushing around, Butcher Liu couldn't help but feel anxious. He reached out to take it and said, "You don't have to be polite, Brother Zhang, you don't have to refuse after my brother's wishes." After that, he entered the main hall with a gift box.
Mr. Liu smiled and said to Zhang Cai: "My second brother has such a hot temper. Please don't mind Brother Zhang."
Zhang Cai also smiled and said, "It might as well, Ling is a person with temperament. We have had an orthopedic surgery. Please come to the house to talk."
Zhang Cai asked Mr. Liu to enter the main hall. The main hall of the Zhang family was very small and there were not many chairs, so it didn't matter whether they were divided into guests or hosts. Everyone sat at will.
After Mr. Liu sat down, he expressed his gratitude for the Zhang family's kindness again, and took out some scattered silver from his arms and put it on the small table in the house, saying, "Brother Zhang, your family's injuries were hurt by bullies to save the little girl. We should be responsible for it in terms of emotion and reason. You can use these silver for medical treatment. We have poor family background and can only get so much. Please forgive me."
This time, Zhang Caike refused to accept it. He said: "Xiaohua has already told you about the incident. At that time, the bully had already paid the money, but we were afraid that they would come to ask for it again and dare not use it. The Young Master Wen, who saved us, has already given us a lot of money, which is enough to see if you are injured. If you buy medicine, we must not take this money." Liu Kai said: "Old Mr. Zhang, one code is one code, and we should give this money. You can't stand by and watch any medical expenses to save my girls. How can you make such a reason?" Liu Butcher Liu also scratched his head and said: "Brother Zhang, you'd better take it. After a few days, I'll give you some money and carry some meat."
Zhang Cai said: "Two brothers, we must not use it. We don't save people for money. Besides, we already have money to cure injuries, so these cannot be collected."
So, you asked me and I asked you to get entangled. After talking for a while, Zhang wanted to do whatever he wanted.
At this time, Liu Qian spoke and said to Mr. Liu: "Dad, since Mr. Zhang does not accept this money, you can take it back first. I have an idea. How about you?"
Mr. Liu said: "Okay, you have been extremely intelligent since childhood. What are the good ideas this time?"
Liu Qian said: "In order to save us, the two of us stayed here to take care of Mr. Zhang and others until their injuries were completely healed. One reason was that three people in Mr. Zhang were injured and the elderly had to take care of him. Aunt Guo was not busy. We were here to help us get the right home. Two reason was that Mr. Zhang and the three people were unable to move and needed someone to serve us is what we should do. What do you think?"
Mr. Liu thought for a moment and said, "I don't think about it. Qian'er's idea is very good. What do you think? Second brother."
Butcher Liu patted his chest and said, "Very good, very good, I think so too."
Liu Yueyue also nodded in agreement.
Things were settled first.
Then, Mr. Liu and Liu Kai went to the inner room. Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu were still lying on the bed. When they heard the Butcher Liu shouting, they remembered it. However, Guo Sufei and others stopped him. Now they saw someone coming in and knew it was Liu Qian's father and brother, so they quickly got up. This time, Liu Qian did not come up to support Zhang Xiaolong. Guo Sufei carefully helped his son sit on the kang.
Then Mr. Liu looked at this courageous young man carefully. Zhang Xiaolong was a very masculine young man. He was about the same age as Liu Kai, with thick eyebrows and big eyes like Zhang Cai. However, his eyes were blue at this moment and the corners of his mouth were cracked. However, just from the firmness in his eyes, he could tell that he was a down-to-earth person. His clothes were not new. He had some patches, but they were washed cleanly and made it very comfortable to wear on his body. Zhang Xiaolong's arms were still on his plywood and could not move casually. He put his hands on his chest. Looking at these slightly rough hands, he knew that he was a good hand in the farmland.
Mr. Liu looked at the young man of this age, who was about the same height as his son, but had a very different temperament, and couldn't help but nod. Only such an outstanding child could stand up when others were in danger.
Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help feeling worried and a little at a loss when he saw Mr. Liu staring at him. After watching for a while, Mr. Liu then spoke, thanking him for saving his daughter, hoping that he would recover well, and then speaking for a while before leaving the hut. While walking, he said to Zhang Cai: "Brother Zhang has a good son, and he is lucky."
Zhang Cai couldn't stop smiling, and he leaned on a crutch and did not forget to be modest: "They make each other very good, and the young master is also very good."
Seeing that it was noon, Zhang Cai ordered Guo Sufei to arrange food and drink to entertain Mr. Liu and his group. The Zhang family's family's background is more than that of Mr. Liu, and the meal is of course very ordinary. Zhang Cai apologized deeply. Mr. Liu and the Butcher Liu were both generous people. They didn't mind talking and ate a lot of wine. Only Zhang Xiaohua was the happiest. She had meat to eat for two days. I wished that such days would take several more times.
After dinner, Mr. Liu and his friends chatted with Zhang Cai for a while, and then took the two girls back to Baligou while it was still early.
The only wounded person in the Zhang family was left lying on the bed.
Fortunately, it is the harsh winter now, and cats are always warm at home during this season, so they don’t have to plow the fields and weed the farming work. But this afternoon everyone felt something was a shortcoming. When the sky gradually became dark, Guo Sufei was preparing to cook and found that there were two girls at home and less food. She couldn’t help feeling a little sad. The popularity of this family is strange. There were only six people in the family, but after so many years, I didn’t feel anything. In these few days, there were two more girls, and the family actually had more lively as before. After these days, people left, of course the bustling was gone. Only then did they realize that there was a bustling life that was really good. I missed the life of a few outsiders in those days.
After cooking, Zhang Xiaohua and her mother served the two brothers after dinner. Everyone sat under the oil lamp. Guo Sufei said, "I don't know if Liu Qian and the others have eaten?"
Zhang Cai said: "Looking at the sky, they just got home, and it was too late to cook by themselves. I guess they had to eat at Butcher Liu."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "It must be true, maybe there will be pork belly tonight."
Guo Sufei said: "By the way, Xiaohua, you have been to their house. What is their house like?"
Based on her own understanding, Zhang Xiaohua talked about the situation of Liu Qian and Liu Yueyue's family.
In fact, Guo Sufei has always wanted to ask about Liu Qian's family situation, but it is difficult to speak from Liu Qian. I met Liu Butcher yesterday and never had the chance to ask. But today I saw Mr. Liu and Liu Kai's behavior and demeanor, and I felt a lot of trouble in my heart. After hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, I felt even more stingy, frowning, and said to Zhang Cai worriedly: "Old man, do you think Liu Qian can fall in love with our Xiaolong?"
Everyone didn't interrupt, and Zhang Xiaolong's face became a little darker. Zhang Cai said: "This depends on fate. It's useless to say it. Let's follow God's will."
Zhang Xiaohu spoke: "Mom, I feel that Liu Qian is very meticulous and should have read a lot of books. There is no need to say that she is well-educated and can do a lot of housework. It's really good, much better than the popular Liu Yueyue. Judging from his care for his elder brother, it's a little bit of a meaning."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Second brother, this wife is going to marry one by one. Don't be too anxious. If you don't mention Liu Yueyue, your mother will consider it for you."
Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but kicked Zhang Xiaohua with his feet and said, "I'm talking about my brother, don't interrupt me, Liu Yueyue and I have nothing to do."
Zhang Cai said, "Second, even if you have anything to do with her, you have to think about your elder brother first. Judging from the situation of our family, it is already difficult to marry a wife. You probably can wait."
Guo Sufei interjected and said, "Old man, don't they still have those silver notes..."
Zhang Cai interrupted her and glared at her: "Don't mention that, that's what you want to pay back to someone else."
Afterwards, everyone felt unconscious, and soon they blew out the oil lamp and went to bed.
