Chapter 61 Moving
Chapter 61 Moving
The next day, Mr. Liu and the Butcher Liu said goodbye. When Zhang Cai, Zhang Xiaohu and Liu Qian came to the village to see each other farewell, Zhang Cai repeatedly promised to find the head of the Guo family as soon as possible to discuss Mr. Liu's relocation. Mr. Liu said that it would not be too late to wait until the matter of the Zhang family came to an end.
Everyone broke up.
The days that followed were dull and lonely. Everyone was not used to the life without grandma. From time to time, they would think of grandma and cry when they looked at grandma's hut.
Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua moved to grandma's cottage. They were not afraid at night. Grandma left, but there was the smell of grandma in the room. This smell was only kindness and nostalgia. How could it be scary? Zhang Xiaolong and Liu Qian lived next to the main hall. They were originally used as a new house and were repaired from the inside out. Now, Zhang Xiaolong was injured again and could only be bedridden to accept Liu Qian's service.
It was already early March, and the spring farming of other people in Guozhuang was coming to an end. The Zhang family delayed a lot of progress due to the wedding and funeral. Now it was just the beginning, and Zhang Xiaolong could not work, so the others could only work harder. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua is really strong now. Although it cannot last long, it is more than enough to farm. After churning his own small field, he rushed to help Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohu. Finally, the three of them went to Zhang Xiaolong to work together. Guo Sufei and Liu Qian were also busy cooking and washing clothes, taking care of Zhang Xiaolong and other things. The grief was slowly eroded by time, leaving only deep thoughts in people's hearts.
Maybe it is because the Piaomiao School's injury medicine is easy to use, maybe it is because the Zhang family's well water is magical. In short, Zhang Xiaolong's injuries healed rapidly, and his face is getting better and better day by day. When the spring plowing and planting are almost the same, his injuries have almost been healed. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaolong was injured this time and did not go to the veterinarian Lao Liu, otherwise Lao Liu would be surprised by his medical skills again.
After all the seeds in the fields were sown, the Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief. The busy days were a deliberate avoidance of sad feelings. After this relaxation, everyone couldn't help but think a lot. The family members would go to their grandmother's grave from time to time to check, and even the grandfather's grave was cleaned up very neatly.
In fact, this person is also strange. Grandpa has been gone for many years, and the Zhang family only takes time to go to the grave to see it during the sacrifices every year. They rarely remember it on weekdays. Grandma's sudden separation makes the family dream. However, in Zhang Xiaohua's words, grandpa has never met him once. Grandma has been so tired of him for more than ten years, and it is inevitable that he will favor one and the other.
Every time he took the time to see his grandmother, Zhang Xiaohua felt a sense of regret and guilt. The feeling of kneeling in front of his grandmother's coffin did not ease because of the passage of time, but became heavier. Perhaps, he was destined to be unable to return to the carefree pastoral life he used to be.
But he didn't know what to do next?
Can martial arts be learned by leaving the house?
The weather has warmed up and Zhang Xiaolong's injuries have improved. After seeing this, Liu Qian couldn't help but think about the relocation of her father, so she took Zhang Xiaolong to find Zhang Cai.
Zhang Cai remembered that he still owed something to his in-laws. During this period, the affairs of the family and the affairs in the fields involved the vitality of the whole family, so he forgot it. However, it was not too late to calculate the days, so he quickly prepared a gift and went to the patriarch with Guo Sufei. What he thought was easy was a mess again. The reason was very simple. There were not many children who read in the village, and there were no people who came to teach their children. The school in the clan was not very useful in recent years, so he simply dispersed the school and gave the school house to the people in the clan. Now that Mr. Liu came, there was no place to be placed, and there were no students to teach.
Zhang Cai was so sweaty. This clan leader is so old that he was so dizzy. There was no school in the village. How could his children read? He used to be short-sighted and did not let his children read. He had contacted Mr. Liu these days, but he was illiterate and didn't know much. When he talked, he felt that he was three points shorter than others. He deeply regretted that he wanted to let his children go to study even if he was sluggish. This clan leader was so good that he had to stop the villagers' thoughts. He had to go to other villages even if he wanted to study. This made him even more determined to let Mr. Liu come to Guozhuang.
Since there was no housing, Zhang Cai had to settle for the second best and asked if Mr. Liu could be moved to Guozhuang and let Mr. Liu solve the problem of his own. All the affairs in Guozhuang were managed by the clan leader, so someone would naturally have to nod. If the clan leader disagreed and moved into the village rashly, he would not be able to live a normal life.
The patriarch had met Mr. Liu at his grandmother's funeral and had a very impression of Mr. Liu's appearance. Such a person relocating to Guozhuang is of course very beneficial to the people of the Guo clan. At least he doesn't have to worry about finding a teacher in the future. He never disagrees with it. He even offered to propose that when Mr. Liu rectify the house, the clan would give some help. Zhang Cai thanked Mr. Liu on behalf of Mr. Liu and then said goodbye.
When they came back, they told Zhang Xiaolong and Liu Qian that they were also happy. In fact, they didn’t plan to use the school house. Although it was easy to use and could live there by moving in, they were far away from the Zhang family and had to follow the arrangements of the tribe. They were so uncomfortable. If they built a house by themselves, it would be very difficult, but it would be very convenient for them to let themselves go.
There is a small pond behind the Zhang family's house. On one side of the pond is a bamboo forest, and on the other side is a clearing of land. On weekdays, some garbage and other objects are thrown away, and weeds are all over the ground. If it is sorted out, it can be a small yard. It is tidying up against the pond and planted lotus flowers and other objects. In summer, you can see the endless green lotus leaves of the sky, and the bamboo forest next to it is even more elegant. Liu Qian was very satisfied with it. I believe Mr. Liu would not have too many opinions.
However, now there are weeds, so Mr. Liu can't help but slacking off. So the Zhang brothers took action together to clean up first so that Mr. Liu can decide.
When Mr. Liu received the news and came to Guozhuang again, the open space had been cleaned up and the pond had been sorted out. Mr. Liu held Zhang Cai's hand and was so happy that he didn't know what to say. The environment was really good. With a corner of the village, there was a bamboo forest and a small pond to raft. Although it was not big, it was also poetic. He was very satisfied.
With Mr. Liu's approval, the Zhang family naturally prepared to start construction. Mr. Liu paid for the things to build a house. Of course, the Zhang family worked hard. The patriarch also found laborers in the village and came to help in his spare time. Seeing that the small yard and house were getting up little by little.
There is not much work in the field at this time, it is nothing more than watering and weeding, so most of the people in the Zhang family are busy with the house, and Zhang Xiaolong even regards work as a physical recovery activity. When the house is formed, he has completely recovered.
Most of Zhang Xiaohua is busy in the field. Compared to building a house, the fields are relatively relaxed. She originally asked Zhang Xiaolong to work in the field. However, when she thought that Xiaolong and Liu Qian were newly married, Zhang Cai still asked Xiaohua to go.
However, Zhang Xiaohua became less and less interested in the work in the fields. She just thought about her own affairs and thought about learning martial arts, but she didn't know how to speak to adults.
Another depressed person is Zhang Xiaohu.
Zhang Xiaohu is about the same age as Zhang Xiaolong. He used to be like Zhang Xiaolong and didn't like the girls around him. Since he met Liu Yueyue, he felt like he fell in love at first sight, but he had no chance to confess his love. Seeing Liu Qian and his elder brother happily tied the knot, I was very envious. Now, I finally found an opportunity to find out with Liu Qian first to see if he and Liu Yueyue are destined.
At this time, Liu Qian was already Zhang Xiaohu's sister-in-law. Of course, she didn't need to avoid anything when talking and doing things. She told Zhang Xiaohu all the things about Liu Yueyue, and immediately extinguished Zhang Xiaohu's enthusiasm. At the beginning, her face turned a little white and her expression was very bleak. Thinking about it, there are not so many women like Liu Qian in the world who can see the world so clearly. And it was also many chances that they could marry into the Zhang family. Otherwise, if they had such good conditions, why would they be looking for a farmer's mud legs? Who doesn't want to find a richer, handsome, and live a rich life? What is love? It's just a cake to be used for longing. It's not possible to use it to satisfy hunger and live a life.
Zhang Xiaohu was frustrated and felt depressed. Thinking about the girls around him in the past, and thinking about Liu Yueyue, I felt that his future life was colorless, and he had the idea of changing his life like Zhang Xiaohua. If he worked in the field like this, he found a woman he didn't like to get married and have children, and his life was as boring as boiled water, wouldn't that be boring?
However, he worked hard on the house on weekdays and could not see any abnormality. Liu Qian thought that maybe he gave up, so she didn't tell Guo Sufei about this. She just thought that in the future, she would meet a suitable girl or a girl he liked, and would be the eldest sister-in-law, and would definitely do her best to help Zhang Xiaohu forget Liu Yueyue and live a good life.
The weather gradually became warmer. With the help of the villagers, Mr. Liu's house and small yard were also built. Mr. Liu moved here alone, but he didn't say much. He packed up his necessities and his favorite calligraphy and paintings, so he drove over in a big cart. All other things were left to Liu Kai, and Liu Butcher and Liu Kai were accompanied.
Liu Qian was naturally very happy when she received the news and pulled Zhang Xiaolong over to help. Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei also rushed over. Mr. Liu didn't have much stuff and quickly packed it up. Looking at his simple courtyard, Mr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he would spend the rest of his life here, looking at his reluctant son and then his happy daughter. Mr. Liu's eyes were a little wet.
