Chapter 34

Mr. Liu asked with concern, "Qian Qian, are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Qian smiled and said, "Father, it's nothing. I'm just a bit distracted.

What did you ask me just now? "

Mr. Liu said, "Did you bring this tea from home?"

Liu Qian understood her father's meaning and said, "Yes, father. It's the kind that you often drink. The last time I came, I brought it for myself to drink.

Do you think that this tea is especially delicious? "

Mr. Liu tasted another mouthful and said, "Yes, it doesn't taste like the tea I drink at home. This tea's fragrance is really enticing."

Mr. Liu didn't have any hobbies in his life, but he liked to drink tea. He drank a lot of different types of tea and had prepared a lot of them at home. Otherwise, Liu Qian wouldn't like to drink tea.

However, the tea he drank today was different from the ones he drank in the past. There was an indescribable fragrance in his mouth. These tea leaves were what he used on a daily basis. It must be the water used to brew the tea that was different.

Mr. Liu was flabbergasted. Although the Guozhuang House was far from Ba Li Gou, it was only half a day's journey. How could the water quality be so different?

Mr. Liu asked, "Qian Qian, why is the water in the Guozhuang House so much better than the water in Ba Li Gou?"

Liu Qian blinked her eyes at Mr. Liu and said, "Yes, father. The water here is really clear and delightful."

Liu Qian knew that this uncle of hers was famous for being outspoken. If he knew something, it meant that all the villagers in Ba Li Gou knew. She had already told him not to tell anyone about what happened in Lu Town. Who knew if everyone in Ba Li Gou already knew about it.

The matter of the well water was something that she couldn't let him leak out.

Mr. Liu saw Liu Qian blinking at him and tacitly stopped asking.

However, Butcher Liu heard it and interrupted, "Isn't that simple? Let Zhang Xiao Long send you a bucket every day."

Mr. Liu was happy and said, "Second brother, let's not talk about the half a day's journey from the Guozhuang House to Ba Li Gou. Even if it was delivered, the water might not be as good as it is now."

Seeing that Butcher Liu didn't understand, he continued, "It's best if the water used to make the tea is freshly fetched from the river. If it's left for too long, the vitality in the water will be gone, and the tea fragrance will be gone."

Butcher Liu's face was full of disdain as he said, "Only you scholars are so particular. Why don't I feel the same way?

Don't you think so, Brother Zhang? "After saying that, he picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

On the other side, Zhang Cai also chuckled. He didn't say anything and drank the tea in his cup.

Liu Qian went forward and poured another cup for everyone.

Mister Liu picked up the newly poured cup of tea and placed it by his nose. He sniffed it carefully and then sipped it with his mouth. He also tasted it carefully. There was an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Butcher Liu mocked, "What's so good about this water that's so bland that it's like a bird? Drinking wine is more satisfying."

Mr. Liu pursed his lips and said, "How can you know my joy?

Our interests are different, so we don't talk much. Unfortunately, after drinking this tea today, how am I supposed to taste tea in the future? "

Butcher Liu was happy and said, "Isn't that simple? You can move to the Guozhuang House and live there.

I heard that the Guozhuang House doesn't have a teacher. If you come, they can't wait to welcome you. "

Mr. Liu's eyes lit up and said, "Even a boor like you can think of such a good idea. This saying is true. The ancients said, 'If you eat three hundred lychees a day, you will not refuse to be a person of Lingnan.' It's rare that I'm fated to encounter such good water and good tea. To be able to become a person of the Guozhuang House for this good tea, it can be considered a good story."

He said it casually, but it sounded meaningful.

Mr. Liu's words, "It's rare that we're fated," woke Liu Qian from her daydream. It was like a bolt of lightning that struck Liu Qian's heart, splitting open the knot in her heart that had been tangled in her heart for many days. Yes, it's rare that we're fated. A few days ago, she still felt that she was fated with Zhang Xiaolong. Now that she had walked into a dead end, she actually doubted this fate.

Now that she thought about it carefully, from the moment she met Zhang Xiaolong, he was injured in order to save her. She took care of his injuries to repay his kindness. Then she discovered the precious well water, and now her father was willing to come to the Guozhuang House. She completely dispelled her last layer of apprehension that she was unwilling to marry far away in order to take care of her father. She was clear that this well water was only available in the Zhang Family. She couldn't drink it anywhere else in the Guozhuang House. Thinking about the miraculous uses of the well water, she was even more moved. This was a guarantee for her father's health.

Didn't all of this mean that she was fated with Zhang Xiaolong?

This fate was predestined by the heavens. Wasn't it enough for her to be proud of?

A single thought leads to everything. The large stone in Liu Qian's heart was lifted by the heavens.

At this time, she finally noticed everyone's reaction after her father finished speaking.

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Liu Qian explained, "This lychee is a very delicious fruit in the legends. It only grows in a place like Lingnan. After the ancients ate this lychee, they couldn't forget it. They sighed and said that if they could eat lychees every day, they would be willing to move to Lingnan."

Only then did everyone understand.

Zhang Cai said in surprise, "If Mr. Liu wants to move to our Guozhuang House, we'll definitely welcome you. I'll go back and report to the Guozhuang House's Guo Clan Head to arrange a place for my brother."

Mr. Liu hurriedly said, "Old Brother, this matter isn't urgent. We'll talk about it later. Let's leave it for fate, haha."

Then, Mr. Liu took another sip of tea and said the real purpose of his visit to the Zhang Family. He looked at Zhang Cai and said, "Old Brother, the main purpose of our visit this time is to bring Qian Qian home for a while.

This child has already stayed here for a period of time. She must be homesick. Our family also needs her to go back and tidy up. This month, Yueyue should have come over a long time ago. Last time, she didn't come with Qian Qian because our family also needs a girl to take care of them. This time, let her come over and swap places with Qian Qian. What do you think? "

Zhang Cai didn't dare to express his opinion. He hurriedly turned to look at Guo Sufei.

Guo Sufei looked at Mr. Liu and Butcher Liu's sincere expressions, as well as Liu Yueyue's expressionless face. She already had an idea in her heart. She smiled and said to Mr. Liu and Butcher Liu, "We appreciate the two brothers' intentions. In the time that Qian Qian has stayed here, she has helped us a lot. Xiaolong, Xiaohu, as well as our family head, have all recovered from their injuries. They can basically move around without hindrance. Qian Qian also doesn't need to stay here to take care of Xiaolong and the others. If Mr. Liu wants Qian Qian to go back, I'll pack up the child's things and go back with you guys in the afternoon.

There's no need for Yue Yueyue to stay here. "Hearing Guo Sufei's words, Liu Yueyue's face clearly showed a burst of joy. Liu Qian raised her head and inadvertently saw the disappointment between Zhang Xiaohu's brows. Her heart couldn't help but let out a" thump "as she thought to herself," This Zhang Xiaohu is usually quiet and I've never heard him ask about Yue Yue. Looking at his expression now, it's a bit troublesome. When I have time, I'll have to remind Zhang Xiaohu that my sister's thoughts are clearly not here. "

Butcher Liu wasn't happy and said, "Sister-in-law, look at what you're saying. Didn't we already agree before that Yue Yue would also do her best? Now that she's here, how can we let her slack off?"

Guo Sufei smiled and said, "Brother Liu, I know that you're a straightforward person. If we have any difficulties, how can we hide it from you?

Look at these two children and your Brother Zhang. They're all glowing with health and it's easy for them to move around. There's really no need for your daughter to stay. "

Mr. Liu also smiled at this time and stopped Butcher Liu's insistence. He said, "Since Sister-in-law has said so, then I'm sure there's really no need for the children to stay. Second Brother, there's no need to insist on anything.

As for whether Qian Qian will come back with us later, it's better to ask her first. "

Liu Qian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Father. I won't go home with you this time. There's Yue Yue to take care of the family so there shouldn't be a big problem. I've only been out for less than a month. Although I miss home, it's not to the point where I have to go home. Moreover, Xiaolong's injuries have reached the final stage. I can't leave with a strong start but a weak finish.

I'll wait until he's fully recovered. "Butcher Liu couldn't help but stand up and say," Did you just discuss this with your father? Why do you speak so much like your father? "

Liu Qian asked curiously, "Second Uncle, what do you mean?"

Before Butcher Liu could speak, Liu Yue Yue spoke up, "Sister, on the way here just now, the two elders made a bet. Your father said that you definitely won't go home, but my father said that you will.

My father asked why and your father said that Qian Qian has never liked to leave with a strong start. She's only been at the Guozhuang House for less than a month. Presumably, Zhang Xiaolong's injuries haven't healed yet. Under these circumstances, she definitely won't go home.

See, what you said is very similar to what your father said. Of course, my father was very angry and thought that the two of you colluded together. "

This Liu Yue Yue was very eloquent. She used the words' your father 'and' my father 'to make everyone laugh.

Liu Qian said to Butcher Liu, "Second Uncle, you've watched me grow up. How can you not know my temper?"

Butcher Liu said helplessly, "I only remember that you were a little girl with a runny nose. Who knew that you and Yue Yue would grow up in a few years. How can I remember your temper? I thought that since you've never left home, you would miss home. But you're still not as good as your own father."

While they were talking, Guo Sufei saw that it was getting late and went out to prepare lunch. Liu Qian and Liu Yue Yue naturally went out to help, leaving the group of men to chat in the house.

The Zhang family's meal was as simple as usual. It didn't take long for it to be ready. Zhang Xiaohua also came back with wine from outside the village. Butcher Liu was naturally beaming with joy.

After lunch, the sun was already setting in the west. Mr. Liu and his group of three bid farewell and returned to the village. Mr. Liu invited Zhang Cai and said, "Brother, tomorrow is the second day of the second lunar month. There's a temple fair at Bali Gou. Why don't you come to my place for a small gathering tomorrow?"

Zhang Cai thought about it and refused, "Although my injuries have healed, I still haven't fully recovered. It's inevitable that I'll get sick if I go too far. Moreover, the elders at home are still sick. It's better not to go too far.

When I have time in the future, I'll definitely pay them a visit. "

Mr. Liu knew that it was the truth, so he didn't insist. Everyone parted at the village entrance. Liu Qian brought Zhang Xiaohua along and sent them off.

Only then did they reluctantly part and watch their loved ones gradually disappear into the distance.
