Chapter 62

Dinner was naturally eaten in Mister Liu's small courtyard.

Although the cutlery in the courtyard was not complete, it was still close to the Zhang family's residence. It only took a few steps for him to bring everything over.

Guo Sufei was busy in Mister Liu's kitchen. Looking at the small and exquisite room, she was very envious. As expected of a scholar, he was so particular about the place where he cooked. It was unlike her own house, where the entire stove was placed in the courtyard and there was only a shed built to shelter her from the wind and rain. Now that she thought about it, it was not a simple and crude kitchen. She would find some time to discuss with her old man and ask her sons to help as well. They could also build a small house like this in their own courtyard. After all, it was not a very expensive thing.

The result of this idea was that in less than half a year, all the outdoor stoves in the Guozhuang House were changed into kitchens. This was also a trend that Mister Liu brought about.

The Guozhuang House's population was less than Baligou's, and the things sold at the village entrance were also less than Baligou's. Therefore, even if Mister Liu wanted to use the first meal to reward everyone, he was powerless to do so. The dinner at night was still simple, but there were many people eating. Mister Liu's spacious central room could not hold all of them. Fortunately, the weather was already hot, so everyone simply moved the tables and chairs outside. Farmers did not pay particular attention to "eating without talking" when eating. Everyone ate while chatting. Mister Liu, Zhang Cai, and Liu Kai only took a small sip of wine. However, they could not withstand Butcher Liu's frequent toasts and they were all drunk. Mister Liu squinted his eyes and looked at the lively crowd. He also had a different feeling in his heart. It had been a long time since he had participated in such a happy and harmonious scene. Perhaps it was because his daughter liked this kind of environment. Suddenly, it seemed to have touched the weakness in his heart. He could not help but think of his late wife who had passed away early. Then, he looked at Liu Qian's face, which was very similar to his late wife's face. A kind smile appeared on his face. He hoped that his daughter's choice was not wrong and that he had also been pulled into the boat by his daughter. He also hoped that he could change his way of life and accompany them for the rest of his life.

After dinner, the night wind was a little cold, so everyone returned to the house.

Liu Qian boiled water in the kitchen and made tea for everyone.

Mister Liu tasted the tea and sighed in his heart. There was nothing better than this. To be able to drink this tea every day, he wouldn't mind being a Guozhuang House member for a long time.

Liu Kai also took a sip of his tea. Looking at Zhang Xiaolong, he asked with a smile, "Xiaolong ah, how are your injuries?"

Zhang Xiaolong hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern, Big Brother. My injuries have healed a long time ago. Now, I don't have any problems working in the fields."

Liu Tufu also spoke up, "Xiaolong, what happened on the day you married Qianqian?

You didn't explain it clearly at that time. Now, tell me about it and let me hear about your adventures. "

Zhang Xiaolong frowned a little, but he still recounted what happened that day. However, according to Lu Yueming's instructions, he didn't mention his name or the name of the Misty School. Of course, he didn't mention Xue Qing's token either.

The process sounded simple, but the danger of that day could be heard clearly.

When Butcher Liu heard this, he couldn't help but fall silent.

Mister Liu saw that the scene was a little quiet and interrupted, "I heard that the bandits of Xi Cui Mountain have dispersed. Xiaolong, you can rest assured that they won't come looking for trouble with you."

Zhang Xiaolong replied, "Yes, at first, I was busy with my grandmother's funeral, so I threw this matter to the back of my mind. Later, when I was free, I was afraid that the bandits would follow the clues of the marriage and come looking for me. It was only later that I heard that they had dispersed that I was relieved."

Mister Liu waved his hand and said, "The bandits of Xi Cui Mountain are just a motley crew. Without a leader, the monkeys scatter when the tree falls. No one will think about avenging the leader. Moreover, you are just ordinary farmers. They won't have the heart to come looking for you."

Liu Kai said, "That's not necessarily true. The bandits of Xi Cui Mountain have a long history. In the past ten years, there have been countless groups of people. This time, after dispersing, it won't take long for someone to raise the flag again."

Butcher Liu yelled, "So be it. Don't tell me they're looking for us to avenge the previous head of the thieves?"

Mister Liu looked at Zhang Xiaolong. He knew that the Zhang family had the Misty School's token. Their escape from danger this time was probably related to the token. In Jianghu, there were people who helped the weak. When they saw injustice on the road, there were also people who pulled out their swords to help. However, most of them were wise to protect themselves. No one would kill the leader of Xi Cui Mountain for an unrelated person and offend the power behind Xi Cui Mountain for no reason. However, Zhang Xiaolong didn't mention this. There must be a reason. Mister Liu wouldn't expose it. He just said, "The possibility of them looking for us is not big. If they want to take revenge, they will look for the murderer.

However, they will also ask questions. "Zhang Xiaolong said with a smile," These are all our guesses. We can't run away because of these. Even if we move, it's hard to guarantee that we won't be found by others. It's better to remain unchanged and live our lives peacefully. "

Liu Kai applauded and said, "Xiaolong's words are good. Hehe, by the way, let me ask you. Last time, you made that thing in Eight Li Groove. How did you come up with it? No matter how I think about it, I don't think you can make it."

Zhang Xiaolong blushed a little. However, no one saw it under the oil lamp. He said embarrassedly, "Well, I don't know myself. I've never made a poem. That day, I was forced to do it. It appeared in my mind for no reason. Maybe it was given by God."

Seeing Zhang Xiaolong like this, Liu Kai didn't ask further. At this time, Zhang Xiaohu, who was sitting next to Zhang Xiaolong, suddenly spoke. He asked, "Mister Liu, do you know where Ping Yang City is?"

Mister Liu smiled and said, "Of course I know this. Ping Yang City is a big city near Lu Town. It's about six hundred miles north-east of Lu Town. Why did you suddenly mention Ping Yang City?"

Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Cai, who was sitting on the chair and drinking tea to sober up.

Then, he said something that shocked everyone.

"I want to go to Ping Yang City."

Everyone was stunned. Zhang Cai, who was squinting, also opened his eyes.

Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Cai again and continued, "I want to go to Ping Yang City to take a look. I've only been to Lu Town since I was young. Even the name Ping Yang City is something I heard from others."

Zhang Cai seemed to be relieved when he heard this. However, Mister Liu asked again, "You're just going to take a look?

After some time, Liu Kai will probably have to go out for some matters. There's no harm in you all going to take a look. "

Zhang Xiaohu gritted his teeth and said firmly, "No, I don't just want to take a look. I want to walk out of this village. I want to change my life."

"Eh ~, Xiao Hu wants to walk out of the village?"

Guo Sufei and Liu Qian had just finished cleaning up the kitchen and walked in one by one. Guo Sufei happened to hear Zhang Xiaohu's words and couldn't help but feel that it was strange.

When Zhang Xiaohu saw his mother enter the house, he quickly got up and asked her to sit down.

Guo Sufei sat on the chair that Zhang Xiaohu had just sat on. She looked at Zhang Xiaohu and asked curiously, "Xiao Hu, why do you suddenly want to go out?"

Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Zhang Xiaohu sorted out his thoughts and said, "Father, Mother, I've been thinking a lot recently. I feel that if I live like you, I can only face the earth for the rest of my life and my back to the sky. I'll live off that little bit of land of ours. Every day, I'll go from home to the fields and from the fields to home. Maybe in a few years, Mother will find me a wife who also works in the fields. We'll take care of this piece of land together and then have children. We'll teach them how to farm. When I'm old, I'll be buried in the soil behind the village like my grandmother. Wouldn't my life be very boring?

I don't want such a monotonous and boring life. I want to live a colorful and interesting life where I can see many people and many things. Only then will I not regret it when I'm old. "

Everyone was silent for a while. Only Zhang Xiaohua, who was sitting in the corner, had a glint in her eyes.

Mr. Liu coughed and glanced at Zhang Cai, saying, "I can roughly understand what's on your mind. When I was young, I also had such a dream. I also tried to realize it. However, when I went out, I realized that everything in the world was beyond my imagination. I encountered many setbacks and realized that some lives were not what I wanted to pursue. Thus, I returned to Eight Mile Valley. However, it wasn't like I didn't gain anything. Qianqian's mother also came back with me."

Liu Kai also added, "Father is right. However, without going out and taking a look, how would you know what the outside world is like?

How would you know if it's suitable for you?

Didn't your son have the same thoughts as Xiao Hu a few years ago? I think that Xiao Hu should go out and take a look. When he sees the cruelty of the outside world, he might come back. "

Butcher Liu complained, "What's there to see in Ping Yang City? Isn't it just Lu Town, which is a few times bigger?

It's hard to even find a place to use the toilet. What's the point of going there?

I don't recommend Xiao Hu to go there. "

When Liu Qian heard this, of course, she knew the reason why Zhang Xiaohu wanted to go to Ping Yang City.

However, she was now the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. Hence, she looked at Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei first. Seeing that both of them were frowning and looking unwilling, she pondered for a while before saying, "Ping Yang City is very big and it's also very far from us. However, it's precisely because of this that there are many people. If Xiao Hu goes there, he will definitely meet many people. Who knows, he might even meet a girl that he can hit it off with and bring back for us to see. It's better than here in the remote countryside where you can reach the neighboring villages after a few steps. You can count the number of girls in the surrounding villages with your eyes closed. It's very difficult to pick one."

When Zhang Xiaohu saw that Liu Qian had read his mind, he chuckled and did not explain further.

At this moment, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei's frowns finally relaxed. So this was what their son was thinking. Ping Yang City was so far away and Zhang Xiaohu had not been out much. Although he was not young anymore, it was not appropriate for him to go so far away all of a sudden. However, thinking about it, they had spent so much time looking for a suitable wife and still could not find a suitable one. If they had not met Liu Qian, they would not have been able to solve this problem. This Zhang Xiaohu had reached the age of marrying a wife and this was a big problem for the family. If Zhang Xiaohu could bring back a wife from this trip, wouldn't that be a great thing?

At this thought, Zhang Cai was about to agree when he heard another voice.
