After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 343 Resolve the knot

"Since Shouning guessed that a guest will come, he must have already guessed who it is." Liu Bingzhou was in a better mood at this time, and said to his daughter with a smile:

"Instead of asking me, you might as well ask your daughter."

"Shouning?" Curious, Liu turned to look at Yao Shouning:
"Who's coming to our house?"

If it had been in the past, Liu Shi would have doubted her father's words.

But I don't know if it's because too many things have happened in these days, Yao Shouning has gradually become mature and sensible, especially in the case of the "River God", she is responsible, smart, and calm, which made Liu Shi unconsciously Changing her attitude towards her daughter, once Liu Bingzhou said that Yao Shouning had guessed the identity of the visitor, she didn't doubt it at all.

She didn't notice the change in her mentality, but Yao Shouning was keenly aware of Liu's change. Her beautiful eyes lit up, and she smiled and said:
"Mother, didn't you write a letter to your uncle a few days ago because of your cousin?"

Liu Shi suddenly realized, and nodded again and again:
"exactly."

She finally reacted:
"You, you mean, your uncle is in a trance?"

"It should be." Yao Shouning nodded with a smile.

Although she didn't say it to death, she was very determined in her heart.

Because at this time, in her eyes, she had already 'seen' a thin middle-aged scholar wearing an old blue jacket with his hands in his cuffs, sitting on a cart, talking to the driver, While walking in the direction of Yao's house.

Although she had never seen Su Wenfang in real life, she had seen her uncle in the illusion and knew that this was the father of Su Miaozhen's siblings.

"Oh, I didn't think of it!" Liu stroked her hair and said something in a low voice.

"Mother has a lot of things to do every day. She also has to take care of Dad's injuries and take care of the family's affairs. It's normal that she can't remember for a while." Yao Shouning comforted her with a smile:
"I'm fine, I just like to think about things."

Liu Bingzhou looked at the two mother and daughter with a gentle smile.

He could sense that his stubborn eldest daughter's personality had changed a bit recently. She taught Yao Shouning very well, she was kind-hearted, sophisticated yet innocent.

With her intelligence, she must be able to understand Liu Shi's neglect in the past, but she has not cultivated the character of vengeance, nor does she hold grudges, and she is considerate to save face for Liu Shi.

"It's not—" Liu was overjoyed by the compliment, and felt that her daughter's words were really nice.

She twitched for a while, a little embarrassed, and said softly:

"Actually, you are very smart."

"Mother, in the past, in the past—" Liu Shi wanted to apologize, but after all, as an elder, she just felt that she had done something wrong in the past, but the words of apology seemed to be stuck in her throat. She tried a few times, but still couldn't get it right. Say it.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, Liu Bingzhou sighed in his heart, and suddenly shouted:
"coming!"

As soon as he spoke, the silence in the air was broken.

Liu Shi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, turned her head to look in the direction he was looking at, and asked quickly:
"Where did it come from?"

As soon as the voice fell, she heard the sound of treading water in the distance, and the car board made a heavy sound when it rolled in the water. She was refreshed and looked out.

The voice came from the end of the alley on the left.

Amidst the rain and fog, a cart pulled by oxen gradually appeared in front of the three of them. The driver was a short, thin man wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat. From the gray beard on his chin, it could be seen that this man had already passed away. getting older.

And next to the old man sat another figure also wearing a coir raincoat, but the bamboo hat blocked his face so he couldn't see his face clearly.

"This is, this is—" Liu stood on her tiptoes and looked into the distance, but she couldn't recognize it after looking for a long time:

"Is this Daoyuan (Su Wenfang's character)?"

"En." Liu Bingzhou nodded.

With him speaking, Liu Shi no longer hesitated.

She immediately turned her head and shouted: "Liangcai! You immediately go to Master Biao's room and tell him to come with Miaozhen." After she finished speaking, she ordered Liangcai to call for someone, and then went to look for Zheng Shi and clean up Su Qingchun together In the study next to it, there is a bed.

"The place at home is too small..." Liu Shi sighed.

In the past, land was expensive in Shendu City, and she and Yao Hui had saved money for many years to buy this house.

Originally, there was just enough room for a family, but as more people came, it gradually became crowded.

Even Yao Wanning's room was temporarily vacated, otherwise it would not be enough to live in.

"After the incident, I have to save money to buy a big house, and I don't know if I have enough money—" Liu Bingzhou sighed as he was thinking about the money in his heart:
“I am afraid that housing prices will drop by then.”

After a disaster, many people cannot survive.

Floods and insects are just the beginning, and the follow-up food, charcoal, cloth and other items are urgently needed for people's livelihood.

Liu Shi was originally excited because of the arrival of her relatives, but after hearing what her father said, she was also a little depressed.

Liu Bingzhou said:
"Stop talking about that."

Liu Shi nodded and forced a smile.

The man on the bullock cart in the distance seemed to have heard Liu's previous shout, he stretched out a hand, and pushed the bamboo hat covering his face.

The bamboo hat was pushed up, revealing a thin and fair face, sweeping away the first impression of his outfit.

Yao Shouning looked at his uncle curiously.

He was about thirty, with long and slender eyebrows like willow leaves, red phoenix eyes, a straight nose and a short beard.

Even though he is wearing coir raincoat and bamboo hat, he does not conceal his elegance.

Su Wenfang's real age is forty, but time has not left his mark on him, and years of poor life have not tortured him. He looks elegant and gentle, like a refined scholar who has read poetry and books, with a gentle and free and easy temperament Phase coexist.

No wonder Mrs. Xiao Liu fell in love with him when she first saw him, and since then she is willing to give up her rich life and follow him to wander the world, even if she dies early, she will not regret it.

"Father-in-law!"

When Su Wenfang saw the three people standing at the door, his eyes lit up and his face showed excitement.

In fact, he and Liu Bingzhou hadn't seen each other for many years, and when they met at this moment, the scene of Weng and his son-in-law getting along with each other back then appeared in his mind.

Without further ado, Su Wenfang jumped out of the bullock cart. His movements were a little hasty. The mud under the stone had been soaked in tide water and rain for many days, and it had long been soft and rotten.

However, Su Wenfang was not a scholar who walked north and south in these years, he quickly gained a firm foothold, and then strode forward.

"Sister Yu!"

He quickly approached, and when his eyes met Liu's, water gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Dao Yuan, I'm looking forward to you." Liu's lips trembled slightly, and she was extremely excited.

The middle-aged scribe in front of him was both unfamiliar and familiar, and gradually overlapped with the elegant, handsome and slightly shy young man many years ago.

Liu Shi had imagined the scene of the two meeting again countless times.

According to her previous temper, what she thought was: if she could see Su Wenfang again, she would definitely yell at him—this brazen and poor scholar abducted the younger sister she brought up with one hand, and made Xiaoliu's whole life homeless. , After suffering countless hardships, only a few decades have passed in a hurry, and then he died.

Now, Liu's temper is no longer what it used to be.

The incident of Yao Wanning's poisoning wiped out her irritability, coupled with the gradual easing of her relationship with her father, and receiving his father's guidance and education, she gradually realized her past mistakes.

When I saw Su Wenfang again, not only did I not feel like scolding him, but I felt extremely guilty.

"Haven't seen each other for many years—"

Su Wenfang's lips moved, his eyes fell on Liu Bingzhou, and he stared at him for a while.

In his memory, Liu Bingzhou was in full bloom, tall and graceful, and seemed to have an air of non-humanity when walking.

That year when he met his wife for the first time, the girl hid behind Liu Bingzhou, secretly showing half of her face to look at him.

Her eyes are similar to Liu Bingzhou's, with innocence, ignorance and curiosity in her beautiful eyes, as well as a faint shyness, when he turned around and looked at her, the two fell in love at first sight.

Even after many years, Su Wenfang still remembers the blush on Zhizhu's face at that time.

Thinking of the past, tears rolled in Su Wenfang's eyes, and he called softly:
"father."

"Just come back, just come back."

Liu Bingzhou sensed the agitation in this son-in-law's heart, and couldn't help but be affected by him, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said a few words.

"I, I—" Hearing his words, Su Wenfang lowered his head like a child returning from a grievance, and said with tears:

"I can come back, but I can't bring your old man's daughter back, I—"

When he mentioned Xiao Liu's, Liu Bingzhou and Liu's eyes showed sadness.

"Sister Yu, I'm sorry..."

"What stupid things are you talking about?" Liu Shi shook her head, most of her heart knots had been untied, and the remaining remaining emotions completely disappeared with Su Wenfang's words at this time.

"I'm sorry for you." She said with some pain:

"If I hadn't been stubborn, I would have asked for information about you all these years, maybe Zhizhu wouldn't have..."

Both of them have regrets in their hearts because of the same woman.

"No, before Zhizhu left, I didn't blame my sister." Su Wenfang cried:
"Later, she often recalled when she was a teenager, saying that you took her out to catch butterflies and taught her to be a housekeeper—"

Xiao Liu's nature is open-minded and romantic, and she didn't feel resentment because of her sister's indifference and alienation. Instead, she only remembered the good things in her life.

"She said that her life is good." Su Wenfang said with tears in his eyes, his eyes were red:

"Although she lost her mother a long time ago, the love given to her by her father and sister Yu made her not feel the lack of childhood."

It was Liu's pampering back then that gave Xiao Liu a sense of security, made her courageously pursue her love after she became an adult, and supported her to travel around Daqing with her husband and live a fulfilling life.

The two wept silently, and when they mentioned Xiaoliu's, they both felt heartbroken and found a strange sympathy.

What they were talking about was the person everyone loved, and Liu's heart ached, and she felt strange: How could she hate Su Wenfang before?

After Xiao Liu's death, he was the one who suffered the most.

To him, his wife's departure was like tearing out a piece of flesh from the bottom of his heart, making his soul seem incomplete ever since.

There is no doubt that he loves Koyanagi.

It should be a good thing to have one more person doting on Xiao Liushi. Why did I object before?

Liu Shi thought of what her father said that day, and suddenly realized that the reason why she was dissatisfied with this marriage that day was only because of her desire to control.

She wanted Xiao Liushi to do what she wanted, but ignored what her sister really wanted.

It wasn't until this time that Liu Shi finally understood his father's heart.

"Father, I was wrong." She cried and admitted her mistake in a low voice, Liu Bingzhou's eyes were gentle, when he heard this, he reached out and patted his daughter's shoulder.

As the rain outside the house gradually subsided, Liu Bingzhou took a deep breath:

"It looks like the rain is about to stop."

Now that the water has receded and the rain has stopped, the family is finally together, "This is a good thing, there is nothing to cry about!"

The haze in Liu Bingzhou's heart dissipated completely, he said:

"Go, let's talk in the house if we have something to say!"

Su Wenfang nodded, squeezed his sleeves to press his eyes, and then saw the young girl who was looking at him curiously, suddenly realized that he had lost his composure in front of the junior, turned around quickly and tidied up his appearance, and then said:

"Is this Shouning?"

Mrs. Liu gave birth to two daughters, but Su Wenfang knew that the eldest daughter was sick and often unable to get out of bed.

He was far away in Jiangning, so it was inconvenient to communicate with Yao's family. In addition, Yao's family had a lot of things to do later, and Liu Shi forgot to send him another letter. He didn't know that Yao Wanning had recovered from his illness.

"Yes." Mrs. Liu nodded and gave her daughter a hand:
"Call Uncle quickly."

Yao Shouning saluted and said:
"uncle."

"Good boy." Su Wenfang reached out to touch his body, but found that there was nothing on his body.

He patted his forehead:
"I was happy to meet everyone for a while, but I forgot my things."

After finishing speaking, he asked Liu Bingzhou and the others to wait, and hurried to the direction of the bullock cart.

The old man driving the car raised his head, knowing that this was the mansion of the official, he was afraid and didn't dare to come, he was relieved when he saw Su Wenfang turned back.

There was a package on the bullock cart, Su Wenfang said a few words to him, then turned around and pointed.

As a literati, he didn't mean to look down on the driver. He stood on the ground and smiled happily when talking to people.

In the end, he took out a purse from the package, opened the bag with great care, took out some broken money from it, and handed it to the driver.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu quickly called Fengchun and told her to go to the kitchen to prepare some dry biscuits and money for the driver.

Fengchun ran fast, and when he brought his things over, Su Wenfang didn't finish talking.

When the things were handed over, the old man was a little panicked, looking scared and wanting.

Food was precious at this time of year, and it was not until Su Wenfang said something that he happily took it and kowtowed to the Liu family and others.

After a long time, after sending the coachman away, Su Wenfang came back with his belongings, and happily took out a small thing wrapped in oiled paper from his bag.

After it was disassembled, there was a small hollow ball woven from a bunch of hay. The balls were filled with small bells, which made a crisp and pleasant sound when lifted.

The straw bell was extremely delicate, with a faint fragrance.
