Chapter 42

The person who came in was Zhang Xiaolong.

The two of them stood at the door and listened to the conversation between grandmother and mother. Liu Qian's face was red with embarrassment. Zhang Xiaolong listened and looked at Liu Qian's expression. When he saw grandmother's disappointed expression, he couldn't help but pull Liu Qian's hand and rushed into the courtyard. He said with a happy heart, "Qian Qian won't go home."

Liu Qian blushed and wanted to withdraw her hand, but for some reason, she didn't do it. Instead, she obediently followed behind Zhang Xiaolong and ran into the courtyard.

As he ran, he thought to himself, "Thank the Gods and Buddhas, this layer of window paper has finally been pierced through. Some time ago, I was still worried that if Guo Sufei asked me again, how should I deal with it? Now, it's all gone because of Zhang Xiaolong's impulsiveness. This Zhang Xiaolong is really my lucky star. It's fate."

Everyone looked at the two people who rushed into the courtyard inexplicably. When they stood in front of grandmother, they saw Zhang Xiaolong holding Liu Qian's hand. Their faces immediately showed an understanding expression. So it was like this.

Zhang Xiaolong saw everyone's ambiguous gaze and then noticed Liu Qian's soft and smooth hand in his hand. For a moment, he didn't know whether to let go or continue holding it.

Guo Sufei saw her son's embarrassment and quickly asked, "Xiaolong, just now you said that Qian Qian won't go home. Is it Qian Qian's idea?"

Zhang Xiaolong pulled a long face and didn't know how to answer. At this time, the little hand in his hand gently scratched his finger. He understood and said happily, "Yes, mother, it was Qianqian who told me."

Everyone was overjoyed. Grandmother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Guo Sufei walked in front of Liu Qian and asked in disbelief, "Qian Qian, this is a lifelong event. You have to think carefully. Don't regret it in the future."

Others didn't think too much about it. They knew that Guo Sufei wanted to confirm Liu Qian's thoughts. Liu Qian was happy in her heart. This family was really simple. This should be the advice of her family, but they said it first.

Liu Qian also knew that this time, she couldn't hesitate like last time. She finally nodded slightly, then broke free from Zhang Xiaolong's hand and ran out.

Guo Sufei saw and quickly pushed her son and said, "Why aren't you chasing?"

As if awakening from a dream, Zhang Xiaolong said, "Okay."

But after taking a few steps, he came back and said, "Father, give me some money. We went out to buy meat and didn't bring any money."

Zhang Cai hurriedly took out some silver from his bosom and gave it to Xiaolong. Xiaolong took it and quickly ran out to catch up with Liu Qian who was obviously waiting for him outside the courtyard.

When Grandma heard that Zhang Xiaolong had run far away, she smiled and said, "This child is really fated with Qianqian. Even without money, he can still turn it into an opportunity. When I heard what you said just now, I thought that there was no chance between him and Qianqian."

Guo Sufei also said emotionally, "Yeah, last time I asked Qianqian for her opinion, but she seemed to be unwilling. I didn't know how to ask again. Now it's all settled."

Zhang Cai also said happily, "Xiaohua, go to the entrance of the village and get me some wine. Let me be happy too."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Okay."

She got up and ran out.

When she ran far away, Guo Sufei asked, "Did you give Xiaohua any money?"

Zhang Cai said gloomily, "No, I'll wait for him to come back."

In the next few days, the Zhang family was a scene of joy and harmony. Liu Qian would slightly blush when she saw Zhang Xiaolong and deliberately avoid him. Zhang Xiaolong would also be inexplicably at a loss and made a lot of jokes.

The family looked at the awkwardness between the two and shared the sweetness of their love.

Grandma's expression was also very good, but she was getting thinner day by day. After not seeing her for a few days, she could feel that she had lost a lot of weight. Guo Sufei was happy for her son and sad for her mother.

Others couldn't understand Grandma's situation, but Zhang Xiaohua could feel that Grandma's situation was not good. One day, he couldn't help it and secretly pulled Guo Sufei and said, "Mother, I want to talk to you about something."

Guo Sufei was very puzzled by her youngest son's actions and said, "What trouble did you get into?

Why are you so sneaky? "

Zhang Xiaohua said angrily, "Mother, when did I get into trouble for you?"

Guo Sufei touched his head and said with a smile, "Then what's the matter?"

Zhang Xiaohua said sadly, "Mother, I can feel that something is floating away from Grandma's body. It floats away a little, Grandma is a little thinner, and I also feel that there is not much of it left on Grandma's body."

Guo Sufei said angrily, "You child, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhang Xiaohua argued, "That's right, Mother, I really feel it. I told Sister Qianqian before and she believed me."

“

What did Sister Qianqian say? "

Guo Sufei asked curiously.

"Sister Qianqian said that it's because Grandma loves me the most, and I care about Grandma the most, so I can feel her physical condition. But she said that it's not easy to explain, anyway, some close relatives can know." Zhang Xiaohua answered seriously.

When Guo Sufei heard this, she left Zhang Xiaohua and hurried to find Zhang Cai. Zhang Xiaohua saw that his mother cared about what he said and was not like what he thought, so he was very happy and went to accompany Grandma.

Guo Sufei saw Zhang Cai and told Zhang Xiaohua's words to Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Cai thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of such things before. What Xiaohua said may be true.

It seems that we have to make some preparations first. "

When Guo Sufei heard this, she could only nod sadly.

However, she immediately asked Zhang Cai, "What about Qianqian and Xiaolong's matter?

Firstly, Mother wants to see Xiaolong get married. Secondly, if Mother really goes, then Xiaolong and Qianqian's matter will have to be pushed back. I don't know what will happen. "

Zhang Cai said, "Why don't we go to Liu Qian's house to propose marriage in a few days? It's best if we can do it before Mother leaves. If not, we can settle this matter first."

Guo Sufei also nodded and said, "Then I'll ask Qianqian's opinion first."

That night, Guo Sufei told Liu Qian about the marriage proposal. She thought that Liu Qian would refuse like last time, but unexpectedly, although Liu Qian was very shy under the light, she still nodded without hesitation. This made Guo Sufei feel very gratified.

She was a good child who could pick up and let go. Knowing that Grandma wanted to see her and Xiaolong's happiness, she no longer had any scruples and made a wise choice.

This also made Guo Sufei firmly believe that the daughter-in-law that her whole family fancied was really the best daughter-in-law in the world.

The next day, Zhang Cai prepared a gift and took Zhang Xiaohua to Liu Qian's house in Bali Gully to discuss the engagement.

Zhang Xiaohua was also very happy. She missed Butcher Liu's streaky pork very much.

Bali Gully was some distance away from Guozhuang House. Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohua hurried. When they arrived at the village entrance, it was already late in the morning. Zhang Cai's body was really a bit tired after his illness. He sat on a big stone at the village entrance to rest. Zhang Xiaohua was as if nothing had happened. Even her breathing did not change. This made Zhang Cai envious of the young person's body.

In fact, the last time Zhang Xiaohua came, she was also panting. Compared to Zhang Cai, she was much better. However, she definitely did not feel that she was not tired at all.

After Zhang Cai rested, the two of them got up again. Under Zhang Xiaohua's lead, the two of them came to Mr. Liu's house.

Mr. Liu's house was still the same. The door was also open. However, Zhang Xiaohua shouted for a long time, but no one answered. Zhang Xiaohua thought that there was no one in the house. So, she went in with Zhang Cai with the gift.

Walking into the courtyard, Zhang Cai saw the picturesque flowers and plants in the courtyard. Although spring had not arrived and there were no flowers blooming, he could still see the exquisiteness of the courtyard and the owner's elegant taste. He could not help but sigh. Only such an environment could raise such an outstanding child like Liu Qian. Of course, he also had expectations in his heart. If his small courtyard could also be like this, he would be satisfied in this life when he was old and could retire in such an environment.

While Zhang Cai was looking at the small courtyard, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes went to the side room next to the courtyard. Zhang Xiaohua's logic was very simple. Since the courtyard door was not locked, then he must be at home. And after shouting for a long time and no one answered, then he must be busy with something. What could a scholar be busy with?

It was nothing more than writing and drawing. Liu Qian said that there was a study room next to the central room. Perhaps Mr. Liu was in the study room.

Sure enough, in the side room on the right, she saw a familiar back. It was Mr. Liu.

His back was facing the door and he was writing something on the table.

Zhang Xiaohua pulled her father who was walking towards the central room and pointed at Mr. Liu's back. Only then did Zhang Cai stop.

Turning around, he followed Zhang Xiaohua to the door of the study room. Zhang Xiaohua was about to walk in, but she was stopped by her father. Zhang Cai gestured for her to be quiet and then stopped. Zhang Xiaohua knew what her father meant. He was afraid of disturbing Mr. Liu, so she quietly stood beside her father.

The father and son stood at the door of the study room and waited for a while. Mr. Liu was still doing his own thing and had no intention of stopping. Zhang Xiaohua felt a bit bored and was about to say something to her father when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the courtyard door. The two turned around to see that it was Liu Qian's brother, Liu Kai, who had returned.

Liu Kai entered the house and saw two people standing in the courtyard. After careful identification, he discovered that it was Zhang Cai and his son. A smile appeared on his face as he hurried forward to greet them. Looking at his father who was busy in the study room, he said to Zhang Cai and Liu Qian with embarrassment, "My father is like this. When he is busy with his own things, he throws all of the surrounding matters to the back of his mind. When he is done, he will naturally come out. Uncle, please come to the central room." He then took the gift and politely led Zhang Cai and Liu Qian to the central room and poured tea for them.

Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohua had walked for almost the entire morning and were really thirsty. Taking the tea, they gulped it down. As they drank, they thought, "The taste of this tea really isn't as good as ours."

Liu Kai saw that the two had finished drinking tea and rested for a bit before asking, "Uncle, why did you suddenly come to our house today?

Didn't Qianqian come back with you?

Is she alright? "

Zhang Cai hurriedly said, "Qianqian didn't come back with us today. She is fine at our house.

I'm here today to discuss something with Mr. Liu. "
