Chapter 25

Liu Qian laid down with her clothes on. She could not fall asleep in the dark.

Usually, it was Guo Sufei who tidied up the house and was the last one to go to sleep. Tonight, she lay on the kang early and did not get up to settle the others down. The other men did not notice these details, but Liu Qian took it to heart. Especially when she saw the strange expression on her grandmother's face after returning to the house, it made Liu Qian even more suspicious.

However, this was the Zhang family's matter after all. As an outsider, Liu Qian was not in a position to ask, so she could only keep it in her heart.

In the dark, Guo Sufei also tossed and turned, occasionally sobbing. After a long time, Guo Sufei's mood calmed down. She asked softly, "Qianqian, you haven't slept yet, right?"

Liu Qian said carefully, "I haven't fallen asleep yet, Auntie."

Guo Sufei sighed and said apologetically, "Alas, there are some things that make my heart uncomfortable. I've made a fool of myself."

Liu Qian smiled apologetically and said, "Auntie, who doesn't encounter troublesome things? It's nothing."

There was another moment of silence.

Guo Sufei continued to say, "Qianqian, when did your mother leave you?"

Liu Qian thought for a while and said, "I heard from my father that when I was four years old, she contracted a very serious disease. She had sought treatment several times, but it did not work. When my mother left, I did not have any impression."

Guo Sufei said, "It may be a kind of happiness to not have any impression. You don't have to miss her all the time."

Liu Qian said, "Yes, Auntie's words are very reasonable. My impression of my mother was told to me by my father.

I heard from my father that my mother's family was very rich. At that time, my father's family was not well, but my mother was moved by my father's knowledge. My grandfather and grandmother were against it and firmly disagreed. In order to be with my father, my mother resolutely left home and cut off contact with my parents. Alas, my grandfather was also heartless. Until now, I still don't know where they are and have never come to see us.

Father is very knowledgeable, but he doesn't like government affairs and disdains the intrigue of the officialdom. That's why he didn't leave home and lived in the mountain village, teaching for a living. Mother also lived there. "

After pausing for a moment, Liu Qian continued, "Mother's body was weak to begin with, and the doctor told her that it was best for her not to have a child. However, for the sake of Father, Mother still gave birth to my brother. At that time, her vitality was greatly damaged, and she only recovered after many years of recuperation. When she was pregnant with me, Father also advised Mother, fearing that something might happen to her. However, Mother said that since she had a child, it was a gift from the heavens, and she was willing to give up everything for the child. When she gave birth to me, everything went smoothly, but Mother's body collapsed, and she was in a terrible state until she passed away.

At this point, Liu Qian's voice was choked with sobs.

Guo Sufei comforted her and said, "Qian Qian, when you become a mother in the future, you will know that a child is everything in a mother's heart. If she can do ten percent for her child, a mother will definitely not do nine percent.

Although you are still in Mother's stomach, everything about you has already been branded in Mother's heart. She will definitely not think about her own body and not want you. She will think about you early on and bring you safely into this world. "

Liu Qian said, "That's right, Auntie. Sometimes, I am very grateful to my mother in my heart. Although I really only have a vague impression of my mother, she was not only able to escape the shackles of the family for her own happiness, she was also able to sacrifice her life for her child. Sometimes, when I think about it, a mother's love is so ordinary and great.

Moreover, Auntie, I haven't been here for long, but I especially like the harmonious atmosphere in your family. When I see how Xiaohua and the rest rely on you, I am also very envious. "

Guo Sufei said, "Qian Qian, I can't compare to your mother. I have lived in this small mountain village since I was young and didn't learn to read. I can't compare to your mother who read a lot of books and know a lot of things. Ever since your uncle married into our family, I felt that since the two of us lived together, we should live in harmony, respect, and love each other. Otherwise, what fun would there be in life?

Later on, there were the three brothers, Xiaolong, Xiaohu, and Xiaohua. You don't know how it felt to watch them grow up bit by bit. My heart was filled with pride and achievement.

Your uncle and I are not literate and have little experience. Our children also suffered with us and can't be taught well. We can't compare to you siblings. "

Liu Qian said, "Auntie, you're wrong. Although we siblings have read more books than Xiaolong and the rest, we also know more words and have more experience. But Auntie, when Yueyue and I were bullied in town, there were many scholars present. Who would stand up for us?

It was Xiaolong and the rest who didn't read much, but they knew the justice of heaven and earth. They stood up without fear of power and fists. This kind of good is the real good. The more books they read, the less hot-blooded and more considerate. They might not be better than those who don't read. "

Guo Sufei also said with relief, "Speaking of them, I am really happy. These children are kind by nature and have been very sensible since they were young. Although they are naughty, they don't harm others. They also know their family's situation and have never caused trouble for us. Since they were young, everyone in the village liked them very much. When it comes to helping others, they have done a lot. I, as their mother, am very proud of them.

Actually, sometimes I think that if our family's situation was really good, we might not be able to feel at ease with them now. "

Liu Qian agreed, "Yes, Auntie. Sometimes, a person's life is destined. They can grow up well in this environment, but there might not be a good outcome if they forcefully change the environment."

Then, when Liu Qian saw that Guo Sufei's mood had improved, she continued to ask, "Auntie, it seems that you haven't told me about today's matter. It's not good to keep things to yourself. It's good for your health to talk about it."

Guo Sufei forced a smile and said, "Look at me. When it comes to children, I digress. I really miss children a lot in my life."

Liu Qian did not reply. Guo Sufei continued, "As a mother, I miss my children. I worry about their health, food, and clothing, but I neglected my mother.

When I was a child, it was my mother who took care of me and paid attention to me. She also watched me grow up and become an adult. Now, I am wholeheartedly devoted to my children and have long forgotten my mother. Although I take care of her every day, cook for her, and make new clothes for her, I rarely talk to her and ask her about her thoughts. Now that I think about it, I should have done more for my mother. "

Liu Qian also felt suffocated. Yes, all the mothers in the world doted on their children, but their children often neglected their mothers.

She comforted Guo Sufei and said, "Auntie, grandma is happy to see that you care about your children. She won't mind that you don't care about her. She will only give her love for you to her grandson.

Moreover, Auntie, your mother is also by your side. Isn't it better than me, who doesn't have a mother to dote on? "

Guo Sufei said faintly, "But when you want to repay your mother, you realize that you don't have much time with her. Do you regret that you didn't realize this earlier?"

Liu Qian also sighed and said, "Yes, it's a pity that the child wants to take care of his parents but can't wait for him.

However, Auntie, Grandma is already so old. She should be very happy to be able to see you get married and see your grandson grow up. Although you don't directly care about her, you are actually indirectly loving and caring for her.

I don't think Grandma will blame you. "

After pausing for a moment, Guo Sufei said, "Qianqian, it's good to be able to read, read, and understand things like you. After hearing your words, I feel much more at ease. Sometimes, village women like us just can't get over it."

Liu Qian said, "Auntie, don't praise me like that. I'm also a farmer."

Guo Sufei said, "Qian Qian, don't be modest. At least I know that there are no children as smart as you in the surrounding villages and eight villages.

That's right, the words grandma said to you in the afternoon were rude. Don't mind it. "

Liu Qian said, "I won't, Auntie."

Guo Sufei was quiet for a while and finally said, "Qian Qian, but then again, this is also her last wish. Moreover, our family likes you very much. I have always wanted to ask your thoughts. Since we have said so much today, I won't care too much. What do you think of Xiaolong?"

This time, it was Liu Qian's turn to be quiet.

Liu Qian didn't know how to answer in her heart. Logically speaking, she was very satisfied with Xiaolong, but after all, it was still a short time. These few days of interaction couldn't let her see a person's nature clearly.

However, if fate brought them together, they wouldn't know each other. Sometimes, fate was a very difficult thing to explain clearly. Just a few days of interaction could leave an unforgettable impression, and years of interaction might only leave behind friendship. It was the same for looking at a person. Sometimes, it only needed a glance to understand a person. If you couldn't understand, even if you looked at thousands of times, it would only be a blur.

As for her and Xiaolong's fate, from the hero saving the beauty to the beauty repaying him with her body, it was really a story passed down from generation to generation. But to bet her happiness on Zhang Xiaolong just because of this, she naturally hesitated for a while.

Grandma was very good to her, and the Zhang family was also very good to her. She also liked Zhang Xiaolong very much. She also liked this poor but warm and harmonious family. This family was also very much like her own family full of respect and love. She was also willing to join this family and was also willing to fulfill her grandmother's last wish to see her leave this world with no regrets. However, all of this seemed too immature. Should she be given a period of time to ferment and ferment?

Liu Qian hesitated and found it difficult to answer.

After a long while, she said, "Auntie, it's too late today. Let's talk about it another day."

Guo Sufei also sighed softly and didn't speak anymore.

In the small courtyard of the Zhang family, the moonlight was shining. How many people were sleeping soundly?
