Chapter 25 Night Talk (1)
Liu Qian and Yi lay down, thinking in the dark, unable to sleep.
On weekdays, Guo Sufei cleaned up the house and fell asleep the last one, but tonight, she lay on the kang early and did not get up to place others. Other men did not pay attention to these details, but Liu Qian was worried, especially the strange expression after returning from her grandmother, which made Liu Qian suspicious. However, this was a family matter of the Zhang family after all. As an outsider, Liu Qian was really not suitable to ask, so she had to keep it in her heart.
Guo Sufei also tossed and turned in the dark, and occasionally sobbed. After a long time, Guo Sufei calmed down. She asked softly: "Qianqian, you haven't fallen asleep yet."
Liu Qian said carefully: "I haven't fallen asleep yet, aunt."
Guo Sufei sighed and said apologetically: "Oh, there are some things that make you feel uncomfortable, which makes you laugh."
Liu Qian smiled and said, "Auntie, who wouldn't encounter any troublesome things? It's nothing."
There was another tranquility. Guo Sufei continued: "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, I contracted a very serious disease. After several years of seeking medical treatment, I had no effect. When my mother went there, I had no impression."
Guo Sufei said: "No impression may be a kind of happiness, no need to miss it all the time."
Liu Qian said: "Yes, my aunt said it very reasonably. My father told me about my mother. My father said that my mother's family was very rich, but my father's family was not good at that time, but my father's knowledge touched her. Grandpa and grandma opposed it and firmly disagreed. In order to be with my father, my mother resolutely left home and cut off contact with her parents. Alas, my grandpa was also heartless. Until now, I don't know where they are, and I have never seen us. My father has a good knowledge, but he doesn't like government affairs and disdains the intrigue in the officialdom. So he did not leave home. He has been living in a mountain village and makes a living by teaching, and his mother lives there."
After a moment of pause, Liu Qian continued: "Mom's body is weak, and the doctor told me that it is best not to have children. But Mom gave birth to my brother for her sake. She was very angry and would have been raised for many years before she recovered. When she was pregnant with me, Dad also advised her, for fear that if she had any mistakes, Mom said that since the child had it, it was a gift from God to her. She was willing to give up everything for the child. She gave birth to me smoothly, but her mother's body collapsed. It was very bad until she left. I kept thinking that if my mother didn't want me, she would be fine."
Speaking of this, Liu Qian's words were also a little choked.
Guo Sufei comforted her and said, "Qianqian, when you become a mother in the future, you know that children are everything in the mother's heart. If you can do tens of them for the child, your mother will never do nine points. Although you are still in the mother's belly, everything about you is already engraved in the mother's heart. She will never consider her body instead of you. She will consider you early and bring you safely to this world."
Liu Qian said: "Yes, aunt, sometimes I feel very grateful to my mother. Although I really only have a vague impression of her mother, she can not only escape the shackles of the family for her own happiness, but also contribute her life for her children. Sometimes I think about it, maternal love is so ordinary and great. Moreover, aunt, I haven't been here for a long time, but I especially like the harmonious atmosphere of your family. I am also envious of Xiaohua and the others' dependence on you."
Guo Sufei said: "Qianqian, I can't compare with your mother. I have lived in this small mountain village since I was a child. I didn't read and read a lot of books than your mother. I know a lot of things. Since your uncle married into our family, I feel that since the two of them should be harmonious and respectful and loving each other, otherwise what fun can life be? Later, there were three brothers, Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaohua. Seeing them grow up little by little, you don't know the feeling, and your heart is full of pride and achievements. I don't know much about literacy and have little knowledge, and my children suffer with us. I can't educate you well, and I can't compare with you brothers and sisters."
Liu Qian said, "Auntie is so bad. Although our brother and sister read more books than Xiaolong and others, recognize more words and have more knowledge, but Aunt, when Yueyue and I were bullied in the town, there were more scholars present, and who came forward? It's not that Xiaolong and others didn't read many books, but they knew the justice of the world and were not afraid of power and fists. This kind of good is the real good. If you read more books, you will lose your passion. If you take more care of them, you may not be as strong as those who don't study."
Guo Sufei also said with relief: "When it comes to them, I am really happy. These children are kind-hearted and have been very sensible since childhood. Although they are naughty, they do not harm others. They also know their family background and never cause trouble for us. Since childhood, the villagers like them very much. They have really done a lot of things to help others. After raising them so old, I am very proud of them. In fact, sometimes I think about it. If our family background is really good, they may not be able to reassure us now."
Liu Qian also agreed: "Yes, aunt, sometimes, a person's life is destined. If you can grow well in this environment, you may not have good results if you forcefully change the environment."
Then, seeing that Guo Sufei's mood improved a little, Liu Qian continued to ask: "Aunt, it seems that you haven't told me what happened today. It's not a good thing to keep things in your heart. It's also good for your health."
Guo Sufei smiled and said, "Look at me, when it comes to children, I've been talking about the topic. I really miss many children in my life."
Liu Qian had no contact, Guo Sufei continued: "As a mother, I am worried about my child, worried about the cold and cold of the child, and the food and clothing, but I ignore my mother. When I was a child, my mother was taking care of me and paying attention to me. She also watched me grow up and adult. Now I focus on my child and forget my mother early. Although I also 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 I think about it, I should do more for my mother."
Liu Qian also felt very upset. Yes, all mothers in the world love their children, but their children often ignore their mothers. She comforted Guo Sufei and said, "Auntie, grandma is also happy to see your heart on the child. She doesn't mind you don't care about her. She will only give her love for you to her grandson. Besides, your mother is also by her side, isn't it better than me, who doesn't have a mother to love?"
Guo Sufei said quietly: "But when you want to repay your mother, you find that you have not had much time with your mother. So do you regret not finding this early?"
Liu Qian also sighed and said, "Yes, it is a great regret in the world to support her son but not to be with her relatives. However, my grandmother is so old, she can watch you get married, and she should be very happy to see your grandson's birth and growth. Although you have not cared about her directly, you are actually indirectly caring for her and caring about her. I think grandmother will not blame you."
After a while of a pause, Guo Sufei said, "Qianqian, it's great to be able to read, read, and understand, just like you. After hearing what you said, I feel much more relieved. Sometimes we rural women in the countryside can't turn around."
Liu Qian said, "Aunt, don't praise me like this, I'm also from the farm."
Guo Sufei said: "Qianqian, don't be humble. At least I know that there are not as smart as you in these four villages and eight villages. By the way, you don't care about the things that my grandmother said to you in the afternoon."
Liu Qian said: "No, aunt."
Guo Sufei was quiet for a while and finally said, "Qianqian, but then again, this is her last wish, and our family also likes you very much. I have always wanted to ask you what you want. Since we two have said so much today, I don't care about that much. Do you think Xiaolong is okay?"
Now, it's Liu Qian's turn to remain quiet.
Liu Qian didn't know how to answer well. She was very satisfied with Xiaolong, but after all, the time was still short, and she couldn't see the essence of a person clearly after getting along these few days. However, if you are destined to meet thousands of miles away, but if you don't meet each other, sometimes fate is a very difficult thing to say clearly. In just a few days, you can leave an unforgettable impression for life, and the years may leave only friendship. The same is true for looking at someone. Sometimes you only need one glance. If you can't understand, you can see thousands of eyes and thousands of eyes. And the fate between her and Xiaolong, from saving beauty to betting on the beauty with her body, is really a story that has passed down from the past, but just this is what you bet on Zhang Xiaolong for the rest of her life, so she naturally hesitated.
Grandma is very good to me, the Zhang family is very good to me, I like Zhang Xiaolong, I also like this poor but warm and harmonious family, this family is very much like my respectful and loving family, full of warmth, I am willing to join this family, and I am willing to satisfy my grandmother's last wish. Seeing that she leaves the world without regrets, all of this seems too young. Should I give her some time to brew and ferment?
Liu Qian hesitated and couldn't answer.
After a while, he said, "Aunt, it's too late today. Let's talk about it another day."
Guo Sufei also sighed lightly and stopped talking.
In the Zhang family courtyard, the moonlight shines like a bright light, how many people fall asleep?
