Chapter 24 Thoughts

Liu Qian then explained: "Mr. Wu got the treasure, and he had no power to tie a chicken and did not have enough ability to protect it. In that case, people are the swordsmanship, and I am the fish. I have no power to fight back, so I can only surrender. Wen Daxia is very skilled in martial arts and has the spare energy to protect his treasure. This naturally depends on the opponent's ability. If he is stronger than Wen Daxia, Wen Daxia's things will be snatched away, but Wen Daxia may not be able to take his life. If he is weaker than Wen Daxia, of course he cannot steal things. In addition, it depends on the value of the treasure. After all, there are people outside of the human body, and there is heaven outside of the heaven. The value of the treasure is too great, and there will always be people who restrain you to snatch it."

Zhang Xiaohua said excitedly: "Sister, that is, if you know martial arts skills, you will always be better than those who don't know martial arts skills. You will have the ability to protect your own things, and the stronger your martial arts skills, the more precious things you can protect."

Liu Qian smiled and said, "Yes. Xiaohua is right."

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

When Liu Qian heard this, she looked a little sad and said, "But how can you practice martial arts 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 we will rely on Xia Zhang to protect him from now on."

Then he continued: "Sometimes, martial arts must be like treasures. You cannot tell others all the secrets. It is also necessary to leave a little to save your life in the end."

Zhang Xiaohua thought about it thoughtfully and said, "Sister is so amazing, how can you know so much?"

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

Liu Qian may not care, and combined what she read in the book and told Zhang Xiaohua that she had heard about it. Zhang Xiaohua didn't care, just listened to it, but these views deeply influenced Zhang Xiaohua in the future.

While talking, the two had already returned to the gate of the Zhang family courtyard. At this time, the sunset had already set. The last ray of afterglow struggled and was swallowed by the darkness. The cold wind blew, and the eyes crossed the wall. The family had already returned to the house. Zhang Xiaohua laughed in her heart. The task in the afternoon was finally completed. She said, "Sister, you have read so many books. You must tell me more in the future. You must also teach my elder brother to read books and write, otherwise you will have nothing to say."

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

Then I felt that this sounded so awkward. This little flower was also a little sensible. However, I continued to think: "The wall is too short. There is any movement in the yard. It is obvious outside. If you have time, you have to make it taller." But I didn't know that I had already had the awareness of a housewife.

The cottage at home is still warm. Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu were talking on the kang. Since Liu Qian came, the three men have been crowded together. Guo Sufei is already busy with dinner for the evening. Zhang Xiaohua carried the bucket filled with water into the yard, and was seen by her mother in front of the stove. She asked Xiaohua: "Why did you take the bucket next to the well back?"

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Mom, what's in it is filled with well water. Sister Liu said that she brought the tea from her home and soaked it in this well water to drink."

Guo Sufei said: "What's the best tea? It's so bitter and not as good as it's not as good as it's white water."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Mom, that's because you haven't drunk good tea. Do you think all the tea tastes the same as the tea from Lao Guo's house at the entrance of the village. I drank it very delicious last time at Sister Liu's house."

Liu Qian also said, "Aunt, you will know if you try it."

When Guo Sufei saw Liu Qian say it, she smiled and said, "Okay, Qianqian said it's OK, then let's take advantage of it and try it out."

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

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

The water soon boiled. There was no teapot in the Zhang family, so Liu Qian had to put a little tea in the bowl where she was eating and rinse it with boiling water.

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

Everyone endured the hot and tasted the tea. In a few sips, they drank a bowl of tea and had to drink it again. Liu Qian said, "If you drink too much tea, you will not be able to sleep well at night. If you want to drink it, wait for a little later."

Of course everyone listens to the experts.

Liu Qian also brought a small bowl of tea to her grandmother and let her taste it a little.

The supper was still simple. Well, it was wrong. Today's tea was good. Everyone in the Zhang family drank very happily. At night, except for grandma, Liu Qian and Zhang Xiaohua, everyone else had collective insomnia. Grandma and Liu Qian didn't drink much. Although Zhang Xiaohua drank the most, he used to count sheep like everyone else. After the spring, he immediately turned over and fell asleep, and his dreams were full of flashing.

After dinner, Guo Sufei cleaned up the dishes and boiled well water to make tea for her family. She brought a small bowl of tea to her grandmother's hut.

As soon as she entered the room, her grandmother heard it and asked, "Is Su Fei?"

She agreed, "Yes, mom, I will bring you a bowl of tea that Liu Qian brought."

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

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

Grandma was surprised: "What's the matter? Is it so mysterious?"

Guo Sufei said: "Mom, what do you think of Liu Qian as a child? Why did you speak so bluntly in person in the afternoon?"

Grandma said, "Hey, Su Fei, I just think Liu Qian is a child who is so good. She is good at handling housework and is well-educated. Xiaohua said she is good at growing up and the conditions at home are good. Our Xiaolong is not worthy of her family."

Guo Sufei sighed and said, "Yes, mom, I see this too, but I feel that she is still very satisfied with Xiaolong, but I haven't found the opportunity to ask carefully. You said that in the afternoon, and I don't know how to speak again."

Grandma said: "Qianqian is one aspect, and it depends on the meaning of her family. Xiaohua said that their family is a scholar and is not good at farm work. His uncle is also a butcher. It seems that it is difficult to communicate with our peasant family. Moreover, their family is well-off and not as poor as ours, so it is really hard to say."

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

Grandma was silent for a while, sighed deeply and said, "Su Fei, I don't know what you mean, but recently, I feel that my health is getting worse and worse. Many times at night I dreamed that your father came to me and asked me to go down to accompany him. I don't think there is much time left, so I said that in the afternoon. I really want to see my grandson get married, and even see our four generations living together."

Before he finished speaking, Guo Sufei's tears came out. She burst into tears and wiped her tears and said, "Mom, don't think too much. I guess it was the dream that you missed your father. You have no problem with your body, and you will definitely see your grandson."

Grandma stroked Guo Sufei's hair and said kindly: "Sufei, my mother's body, I know that I have lived for so long. I have watched you grow up, watch you get married, have children, and watch Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaohua get born and grow up. I am already very satisfied. In the afternoon, it is also a whim. It's just a few days since the girl came here, and it's really inappropriate to mention this matter. You treat others well, maybe you will be together with our little dragon. That is Xiaolong's blessing, and it's also our family's blessing."

Guo Sufei said something to her grandmother, then got up and went out, took the cold tea, tried it with her mouth, and could no longer drink it, so she sprinkled it in the yard, and looked back at the shadow of her mother in the dark hut. Her heart was very bitter, and tears flowed down her cheeks without any composure. She knew very well that since she had a child, all her body and mind had been placed on Zhang Cai and a few children, and she rarely cared about and considered her mother, and always felt that she was under the big tree of her mother, and she had a mother to rely on. Now, when she heard her mother's words, she realized that she had ignored too much and gave her mother too little. Everything was known to be precious only when she lost it. Often, the usual things around her should be cherished.

Now, whether it is regret or disappointment, I always feel that my heart is hollow. Some things are breaking and I can't grasp them with my hands.

Guo Sufei walked into the main hall in a daze. Liu Qian was playing a girl under the lamp. She looked up and saw that Guo Sufei looked strange. She quickly got up, took the empty bowl from her hand, and asked, "Aunt, is there anything wrong?"

Guo Sufei forced herself to smile and said, "It's okay, I'm a little tired." Then, she went to Zhang Cai and the others' hut. Liu Qian saw that she didn't say anything, and sat down again, looking at Guo Sufei while doing work.

Several men in the cottage were drinking tea and doing farm work, and there was also someone who was lying down to recover from the injury. Guo Sufei didn't say much, just said, "I'm done, go to bed early, and Xiaohua takes care of your grandmother at night."

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

Guo Sufei didn't care either, so she lowered her head and went straight back to her house, and did not act as a female lover in the main hall.

Liu Qian became more and more surprised. She didn't know what was going on over there. Since Guo Sufei didn't say it, she couldn't force her to ask.

It was late at night and everyone packed up and went to bed. Liu Qian then went back to the house. The lights in the cottage were still on. Guo Sufei had already gone to bed. Liu Qian blew out the oil lamp and lay down.
