Chapter 24

Liu Qian went on to explain: "Mr. Wu got the treasure, but he has no strength to restrain it, and he doesn't have enough ability to protect it. That kind of situation is called, people are swords, and I am fish. There is no power to fight back, so I can only bow my head and catch it. .Where Wen Daxia is strong in martial arts and has enough energy to protect his own treasures, this naturally depends on the opponent's ability. If he is stronger than Wen Daxia, his things will be robbed, but Wen Daxia may not take his life. If If you are weaker than Hero Wen, of course you can’t take things away. In addition, it also depends on the value of the treasure, after all, there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. The value of the treasure is too great, and there will always be someone who restrains you to snatch it.”

Zhang Xiaohua said excitedly: "Sister, that means, those who know martial arts are better than those who don't, and have the ability to protect their own things, and the stronger the martial arts, the more precious things they can protect."

Liu Qian smiled and said, "Yes. Xiao Hua is right."

Zhang Xiaohua went on to say: "If I knew martial arts, when I went to the market last time, my father, eldest brother, and second brother would not be injured, and my sister would not be bullied."

After hearing this, Liu Qian looked a little sad, and said, "But how can martial arts be practiced so easily?"

Zhang Xiaohua said optimistically: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely practice martial arts to protect you."

Liu Qian was also happy, and said, "Okay, then I will rely on Zhang Daxia to protect me from now on."

Then he went on to say: "Sometimes, martial arts should be like treasures. You can't tell others all the secrets. It is necessary to save a little for the last to save your life."

Zhang Xiaohua thought about it thoughtfully, and said, "Sister is really amazing, how come she knows so much."

Liu Qian said: "These are all written in books. If you read a lot, you will naturally understand. Xiaohua can read a lot in the future, and she will know a lot. Besides, what's the use of knowing a lot? In absolute force In front of you, everything is paper."

Maybe Liu Qian didn't care, she combined what she read in the book with her own experience, and told Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua didn't care, just listened to it, but these opinions deeply affected the future. Zhang Xiaohua.

While talking, the two had already returned to the gate of the small courtyard of the Zhang Family. At this time, the sunset had already set, and the last afterglow struggled and was swallowed up by the darkness. The cold wind picked up, and the eyes passed the fence. The family must have gone back to the house long ago, Zhang Xiao Hua secretly smiled in her heart, the task for the afternoon was finally completed, she said in her mouth: "Sister, you have read so many books, tell me more in the future, and teach my elder brother to read and write, otherwise you will have nothing to say of."

Liu Qian casually agreed, "Okay, it's all on me."

Then I realized why these words sounded so awkward, this Xiao Hua also had some scruples. However, I went on to think: "The fence is too short. If there is any movement in the courtyard, you can see it from the outside. If you have time, you have to make it higher." But I didn't know that I had already realized the consciousness of a housewife.

The hut at home was still warm, Zhang Cai talked with Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu on the kang, and since Liu Qian came, the three of them have been crowded together. Guo Sufei was already working on the evening meal, Zhang Xiaohua carried the bucket filled with water into the yard, and was seen by the mother in front of the stove, she asked Xiaohua: "How did you bring back the bucket by the well?"

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Mother, the well water is installed here. Sister Liu said that she brought tea from home and drank it with this well water."

Guo Sufei said: "What's so good about tea, it's not as bitter as it is, but it's not as good as plain water."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Mother, it's because you haven't had good tea. You think all the tea tastes the same as the tea from the old Guo's house at the entrance of the village. The last time I drank it at Sister Liu's house was delicious. of."

Liu Qian also said: "Auntie, you will know after you try it."

Seeing what Liu Qian said, Guo Sufei also smiled and said, "Okay, Qianqian agrees, then we'll follow along and try."

Then, Liu Qian filled a pot with well water and put it on the fire.

After hearing what Zhang Xiaohua said, the three people in the back room got up and came out to see if they could help.

Soon the water boiled, and Zhang's family didn't have a teapot, so Liu Qian had to put a little tea in a bowl and wash it with boiling water.

Zhang Cai and the others looked at the brewed tea, which had light green tea and smelled the faint tea fragrance, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is this still tea? Why is it so fragrant?"

Everyone endured the heat, tasted the tea, and drank a bowl of tea in a few sips, and they had to drink more. Liu Qian said: "If you drink too much tea, you will not be able to sleep well at night. If you want to drink, wait for the meal." Let's drink some more."

Everyone naturally listens to experts.

Liu Qian also carefully brought a small bowl of tea to grandma for her to taste.

Dinner is still simple tea and light food, um, wrong, today's tea is good tea, everyone in the Zhang family drank it very happily. At night, except for grandma, Liu Qian and Zhang Xiaohua, everyone else suffered from insomnia. Grandma and Liu Qian didn't drink much. Although Zhang Xiaohua drank the most, he counted sheep just like everyone else before his child's day, and immediately rolled over and fell asleep after the child's day, full of dreams.

After the meal, Guo Sufei cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and boiled well water to make tea for her family. She took a small bowl of tea and came to the hut where her grandmother lived.

As soon as she entered the room, grandma heard her and asked, "Is Sufei?"

She promised: "Yes, mother, I will bring you a bowl of tea brought by Liu Qian."

Grandma said: "Didn't you drink it before eating? Qianqian said that you can't drink too much of this thing at night."

Guo Sufei said: "I know, mother, I have something else to do when I come here."

Grandma wondered: "What's the matter, still so mysterious?"

Guo Sufei said: "Mother, what do you think of Liu Qian? Why did you speak so bluntly in person this afternoon?"

Grandma said: "Hey, Sufei, I just think that Liu Qian is a very good child. He is good at housework and is well-educated. I heard Xiaohua grow up very well, and the family's conditions are also good. Is our little dragon good enough?" Go home."

Guo Sufei sighed and said: "Yes, mother, I think so too, but I feel that she is still very satisfied with Xiaolong, but I haven't found a chance to ask carefully, you just said that this afternoon, I don't care Know how to speak again."

Grandma said: "Qianqian's here is one thing. It depends on her family's opinion. I heard from Xiaohua that their family is a scholar and not good at farm work. His uncle is also a butcher. It seems that it is difficult to communicate with us farmers. Their families are well off, not poorer than ours, it's really hard to say."

Guo Sufei said quietly: "I just think it's hard to talk about her family, so I want Qianqian and Xiaolong to be together more. After a long time, it may be good for us to have feelings."

Grandma was silent for a while, then sighed deeply, and said, "Sufei, it's not that I don't know what you mean, but recently, I feel that my health is getting worse and worse, and I have dreamed of your father coming to me many times at night. , Let me go down to accompany him, I feel that time is running out, so I said that in the afternoon, I really want to see my grandson get married, and even see us four generations living together."

Before the words fell, Guo Sufei's tears flowed out, she was a little choked up with tears, and wiped her tears and said: "Mother, don't think too much, I guess it's because you missed your father, you just dreamed, your body and bones No problem, I will definitely see my great-grandson."

Grandma stroked Guo Sufei's hair, and said kindly: "Sufei, mother's body, mother knows it herself, mother has lived for so long, watching you grow up, watching you marry and have children, and watching Xiaolong, Xiaohu Born and raised with Xiaohua, I am already very satisfied. In the afternoon, it was just a whim. The girl has just been here for a few days, so it is really inappropriate to mention this matter. Treat her well, and maybe you will become with our Xiaolong. Then It's Xiaolong's blessing, and our family's blessing."

Guo Sufei said something to her grandma again, then she got up and went out, took the already cold tea, tried it with her mouth, but she couldn't drink it anymore, she poured it in the yard helplessly, and looked back at the shadow of her mother in the dark hut , the heart was extremely bitter, and the tears flowed down the cheeks unsatisfactorily. She knew very well in her heart that since she had a child, she put all her body and mind on Zhang Cai and the children. She seldom cared about or considered her mother. Under the tree, there is a mother to rely on. Now that I heard what my mother said, I realized that I have neglected too much and given too little to my mother. Anything is precious only when it is lost. It is the things that should be cherished doubly.

Now, no matter if I regret it or feel disappointed, I always feel empty in my heart, something is breaking and I can't grasp it with my hands.

Guo Sufei walked into the main room in a daze, Liu Qian was doing female celebrity under the lamp, looked up to see Guo Sufei's expression was different, got up quickly, took the empty bowl in her hand, and asked: "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Guo Sufei forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I'm a little tired." Then, she went to Zhang Cai's hut and took a look. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Liu Qian sat down again, looking at Guo Sufei while working.

Several men in the hut were drinking tea while doing farm work, and one was recuperating from his injuries. Guo Sufei didn't say much, just said: "I'm done with my work, go to bed early, and Xiaohua will take care of your grandma at night."

Everyone responded, "Okay." They didn't look up.

Guo Sufei didn't care either, she bowed her head and went straight back to her room, not being a female celebrity in the main room.

Liu Qian became more and more surprised. She didn't know what happened there. Since Guo Sufei didn't say anything, she couldn't force her to ask.

It was late at night, everyone packed up the kang and went to sleep, Liu Qian went back to the house, the light in the hut was still on, Guo Sufei had already fallen asleep, Liu Qian blew out the oil lamp, and lay down too.
