Chapter 62 Inheriting old concepts and visiting son-in-law
ps: Please collect and recommend!
Liu Xiaofu hesitated, her pretty face turned red, and she hesitated for a long time before sighing.
"Oh - grandma, please talk to Xiaohai."
It turns out that when Liu Hai's grandfather was still alive, he always regretted that his son Liu Guodong did not give him a grandson! The old man had the mentality of "preferring boys over girls" and always felt that it would be disrespectful to the ancestors if there was no boy in the family to carry on the family line!
The granddaughter always has to get married. By then, my family will be cut off from Maohe Village! I will not be able to take over my house and property!
It cannot be said that the old man's thoughts are too feudal and are not good for his granddaughter. The old man also regarded Liu Xiaofu as a treasure. When the third grandma talked to Liu Xiaofu, her grandfather always had only one idea - that
She wanted to find a son-in-law for Liu Xiaofu so that when she gave birth to a child, her surname would be Liu! The old lady wanted to help her old man who had passed away many years fulfill this wish.
Liu Xiaofu is a filial girl. After thinking for a while, she agreed to the old lady's opinion.
Later, the old lady encountered a fire. If Liu Hai hadn't come to the rescue, she would have died! The old man was lying on the hospital bed and thought - now that his granddaughter is older, even if he had an accident, he would have no other regrets.
, except for finding a son-in-law for Xiaofu!
The old man knew that his physical condition was very poor, and he didn't know that one day he might suddenly "pass". After thinking about it, the old man felt that he should find someone to help him complete this matter!
Originally, the first person that the old lady thought of was not Liu Hai, but Liu Hai's father, Liu Qinglin. It is said that Liu Qinglin is Liu Xiaofu's elder, and it is reasonable to do this. However, the old lady knew that Liu Qinglin was an honest farmer, and she
Her granddaughter is studying at university in the capital, and her social circle will be very wide in the future. She is afraid that Liu Qinglin will not be able to handle this matter by then.
Later, the old man thought of bangs.
Although Liu Hai is young, a few years younger than Liu Xiaofu. But now Liu Hai is becoming more and more stable in his work. His character and conduct are obvious to the elderly, and that is nothing to say! He is better than the adults in the village! And Liu Hai is now more and more stable.
Her abilities are not what they used to be! Her future is limitless. In the eyes of the old man, as long as Liu Xiaofu finds a boy with similar bangs, she will be very satisfied!
So the old lady told her granddaughter what she thought!
Liu Xiaofu was shy and refused to agree at first. In the end, she was afraid that her grandma would be angry and hurt her body, so she had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, her good sister Ouyang Hui comforted her - saying that Xiaohai was not an ordinary boy, as long as he agreed
, he will do a good job and will not embarrass her.
Liu Xiaofu didn't know why her good sister valued Liu Hai so much, but Liu Hai saved her grandma, and she was grateful to Liu Hai.
After Liu Hai understood the cause and effect of the matter, he looked at each other in confusion, looked at the old man's expectant eyes, then looked at Sister Xiaofu's red face, and finally nodded.
Agree to the old man's request - in the future, he will urge Liu Xiaofu to find a son-in-law who comes to visit her, and then hand over these "dowries" to that "son-in-law".
The little girl Liu Zi and the little girl Liu Chen got along better than Liu Hai imagined. Soon, the two little girls got along very harmoniously.
The conditions in the countryside are simple, and Liu Hai's family does not have a special bathhouse. They usually take baths in their own bedrooms, using a large bath basin.
After the two little girls took a bath, several young people began to take a bath. After completing this chore, everyone began to eat. At the dinner table, Xiao Liuzi and Ouyang Hui, who were visiting Maohe Village for the first time, naturally became the focus of "care".
Xiao Yun prepared a large table of local dishes for the elderly. Now that the family is better off, the chickens and ducks raised at home no longer need to be exchanged for school fees, so they naturally become delicacies on the table to accompany the guests.
After dinner, Liu Qinglin and his wife chatted with the old man. At Liu Hai's suggestion, several young people went out for a walk. He said they wanted to enjoy the countryside at night.
The night in the countryside is silent.
After leaving the front yard, there is an open area, which is painted with simple cement lime and is very flat. It is a place for drying the rice after harvesting.
A few people moved stools and sat on Shaiguping, with a panoramic view of the entire village.
"Sister Xiaofu, don't worry about what the third grandma said today. I was also worried about the old man's physical condition, so I agreed in the first place. This is just a temporary measure."
Liu Hai hugged little Liu Zi. The look on the little girl's face was better than yours. Although she was still so thin, a trace of blood could be seen on her face.
Liu Xiaofu glanced at Ouyang Hui, and her eyes showed the meaning of "I guessed it by you". Ouyang Hui's proud eyes naturally conveyed it.
"Xiao Hai, thank you. In recent times, thanks to you——"
"Sister Xiaofu, don't say too much. You are my sister, and the third grandma is my grandma. They are all family members!"
Liu Zi sat quietly in Liu Hai's arms, silently not speaking, just looking at everyone blankly. Then the other "big girl movie" couldn't be quiet.
"What's going on? Sister Xiaofu, did the third grandma say something to you when we just took a shower? Tell me quickly - I want to know!"
Liu Chen's mouth was like a barrage of words. Apparently, he saw some "ambiguous" words from his brothers, and the "gossip" factor in his heart was at work!
"You little girl, why are you so curious? The third grandma said that I haven't seen you for a few days and you are getting more and more beautiful as you grow older. She wants to help you matchmaker!"
Liu Hai rolled his eyes at his little sister angrily and started joking, causing everyone to laugh.
Everyone was chatting and talking about everything. Young people had many topics to talk about together.
Liu Hai hugged Liu Zi and enjoyed this feeling. It was warm and peaceful.
"Brother--should I go to the mountains to pick yellow flowers tomorrow? I have seen people in the village starting to pick yellow flowers today."
Liu Chen suddenly talked about what he saw today.
Liu Hai was stunned, and suddenly realized that he had been so busy recently, accompanying his mother to the provincial capital for medical treatment, and cultivating pepper seedlings, that he had completely forgotten about this matter!
It’s already early July, and before you know it, it’s time to pick yellow flowers again!
"Yes, I'm going to visit the mountains tomorrow!"
After everyone cooled down and prepared to go back to the house to sleep, Ouyang Hui pulled her bangs and walked behind.
Liu Hai's face was slightly red, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The leaves of merit in his mind could not come out to work at this time.
"Sister Hui, what's the matter?"
Ouyang Hui stared at Liu Hai and told Liu Hai a situation.
"When the old man was discharged from the hospital, the doctor told me that after this ordeal, the old man's body was no longer what it used to be. In addition, he already had many geriatric diseases. His lungs and brain were severely damaged in the fire, so
――The old man’s health is in danger, and it might happen at any time――”
Ouyang Hui said very sadly, no one can stop birth, old age, illness and death.
"The old man himself has feelings too, that's why he is so anxious to hand over 'that matter' to you. No matter what, we must first promise the old man that her health will be the most important thing. This is what Xiaofu wants me to tell you."
Liu Hai looked at Ouyang Hui's long eyelashes and nodded.
"Don't worry, Sister Hui, I told you, I know how to do it."
At night, Ouyang Hui and Liu Xiaofu slept on the same bed.
"Huihui, you don't really like Xiaohai, do you?"
"Um?"
"I think there's something wrong with the way you look at him -"
There was silence for a while.
"I don't know what it feels like, but when I see him, I feel very peaceful."
"Then it seems you like him a little bit! Hehe!!"
There was another moment of silence.
"But you also know about my family. Alas—forget it, I don’t know what I feel in my heart—let’s just leave it like that for now—"
