Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 178

Guan Xiaoyun returned to China in September, so he called in advance, and Liu Xiaonan went to pick him up alone.When Guan Xiaoyun dragged two suitcases out of the customs, Liu Xiaonan went forward to take the suitcases, feeling very at ease, and returned safely after all.

Guan Xiaoyun didn't change much, but there was an extra gesture of shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands.Liu Xiaonan couldn't get used to it, but she couldn't say anything, so she asked her if she should stay in Bincheng or go home.

Guan Xiaoyun said that he would go home to visit his parents first, so Liu Xiaonan drove her back to Liuzi Street. Anyway, he was going back to Liuzi Street to sell river crabs in the pond.

After the car drove out of the urban area and got on the highway, Liu Xiaonan remembered Guan Deyu's instructions, and tentatively asked Guan Xiaoyun, "What are your plans when you come back?"

Guan Xiaoyun said: "The first thing is to buy a big house and bring my daughter to me. I can't let my daughter suffer poverty and wronged with Dong Xiaojun."

Liu Xiaonan said: "You can't say that. Why is your daughter poor and wronged by following Dong Xiaojun? Dong Xiaojun drives a taxi and earns 7000 yuan a month. He has not remarried so far. I think he regrets the divorce. a."

Guan Xiaoyun spread his hands and said, "Is it amazing to earn six or seven thousand a month? Do you know how much I have earned in the past three years? A total of 60. I can give my daughter a better life."

"I know you are capable, and it's not easy to earn some money by working overtime. But a complete family is the best life for children."

"Impossible, I have a boyfriend, and he is a foreign man. When he comes to China, we will get married right away."

Liu Xiaonan glared at Guan Xiaoyun: "No wonder you have learned a whole body of bad habits. What did I tell you before going abroad? Did you take my words as fart? You are not afraid of being deceived and come back with a whole body of dirty diseases."

Guan Xiaoyun shouted loudly: "What are you talking about? We are serious about dating. Don't believe it, Jerry is a mechanical engineer and a decent person."

Guan Xiaoyun didn't lie.She assembled electronic components in a foreign factory. Because she is good at English, quick-handed, diligent and capable, she became the group leader after one year.Because of work, I got to know Jerry, the engineer in charge, and often ask him for advice.Jerry is also a divorced bachelor. He appreciates her hard work and studious, and teaches her English and business in his spare time. The two gradually develop feelings for each other.

When Guan Xiaoyun's service period expires and returns to China, Jerry is also preparing to be transferred to the branch located in the Bincheng Development Zone. After being transferred to Bincheng, the two will apply for a formal marriage.

Liu Xiaonan said: "I'm afraid the gringo won't keep his promise, and then you'll be like a stupid wife waiting for a wild guy, and you'll be beaten like a chicken."

Guan Xiaoyun said: "Don't deny it, you are stimulated by Yue Xuelian and regard all foreigners as bad guys. Let me tell you, those shortcomings of me that Dong Xiaojun said are all advantages in Jerry. People like to have personality. Jerry gave me 50 yuan to buy a house in Bincheng in advance and wait for him to come to China to get married, which is much more open than some people.”

Liu Xiaonan stopped talking, let the facts speak for themselves, don't let the snot and tears go away.He sent Guan Xiaoyun home and talked to Uncle Guan Deyu for a while.

Guan Deyu said that the vegetable and fruit distribution center has played the role of the boss, and with its popularity, foreign merchants have come to buy apples, sweet potatoes, and autumn vegetables, and the agricultural products in the hands of surrounding farmers no longer have to worry about selling.

Moreover, Liuzijie's website also played a role.Some people have reserved this year's new rice online. If the market is good and the market is good, Liuzi Street is going to build water conservancy in autumn and winter, and take advantage of the geographical advantages and convenient conditions guarding the Fuzhou River to expand the rice planting area.

After hearing this, Liu Xiaonan secretly thanked Song Ge, saying that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, which really mobilized the subjective enthusiasm of the villagers.He and Guan Deyu proposed to resign from the post of village chief. Continuing to take up the post would only hinder Liuzijie Village's self-hematopoietic function.

Guan Deyu resolutely disagreed, so what's the point of resigning in such a short period of time?It's hard to say.If you want to resign, you have to wait until the day when Liuzijie takes off the title of poor village, and it will be a matter of course to retire with honor.

Liu Xiaonan stayed at home for a few days and sold most of the river crabs in the pond, leaving the rest for her uncle and mother to sell slowly.Uncle didn't receive half of his sales, only a quarter, half of the half.

Liu Xiaonan returned to Bincheng, Guan Xiaoyun went back with him and lived in his house, she was eager to buy a house.For two days in a row, he accompanied Guan Xiaoyun to look around for houses, and finally bought two houses in the city center not far from his home, and her name was written on the real estate certificates.

When Liu Xiaonan looked at Guan Xiaoyun strangely, Guan Xiaoyun said naturally: "Don't think I'm stupid, I have to leave a way out for myself."

Guan Xiaoyun hired Yu Zhiyong and Wang Ping to renovate her house. The big house was reserved for her to marry and live in, and the smaller one was reserved for rent, requiring all to adopt European style.

Yu Zhiyong said to Guan Xiaoyun: "I'm going to be Mrs. Kuo. Do I have to call you Ms. Guan or Mrs. Guan in the future?"

Guan Xiaoyun warned: "If you just want to have fun with your mouth, we will wait and see. If there is a little problem during the decoration, I will deduct your project payment."

Yu Zhiyong hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't, Ms. Guan, at least I ate grass in a trough, so give the poor a bite of their food."

Guan Xiaoyun slapped Yu Zhiyong: "Be more honest with me from now on."

Liu Xiaonan and Wang Ping laughed secretly.One thing Liu Xiaonan still admires Guan Xiaoyun is that according to Meng Xiangxiang, Guan Xiaoyun's oral English level can reach the domestic English level six, and his pronunciation is very authentic and accurate.

From this point of view, in the past three years of working abroad, Guan Xiaoyun has not wasted time, and has worked hard for her own predetermined life goals.

It's all right now, just waiting for that foreigner named Jerry to come to China to marry her, Guan Xiaoyun simply lives in the farm, with her master Wu Yanli.

She bought a lot of clothes for Wu Yanli, and the two often discuss clothes together.She is also concerned about Wu Yanli's future. She said that after she gets married, she will find a foreigner for Wu Yanli.

Liu Xiaonan heard it, and said to Guan Xiaoyun: "It's fine if you can handle your own affairs well, don't come here to harm your master."

Guan Xiaoyun retorted: "Why did I harm my master? Foreigners are caring and responsible. Jerry and I proposed to let my daughter live with us, and he agreed without hesitation. You don't harm my master, but you give it to my master." Looking for a way out? What's the point of tying my master to your farm?"

Wu Yanli calmed down and said, "It's no wonder Xiaonan, I did it myself."

Liu Xiaonan said to Guan Xiaoyun, "I'll wait and see."

On New Year's Day in [-], Guan Xiaoyun and that foreigner named Jerry got married officially. Liu Xiaonan and Meng Xiangxiang were invited to attend Guan Xiaoyun's second wedding.

The wedding was held in a big hotel. Apart from relatives and friends, there were also several foreigners. Compared with the first wedding, it looked much more luxurious.

Guan Xiaoyun's daughter became her bridesmaid and will live with her in the future. "Never let me and my children suffer from poverty." —— Anyway, Guan Xiaoyun still achieved her teenage expectations for life.

Liu Xiaonan saw Jerry, who was about 40 years old, and looked very young, not at all the big old man he imagined.

Jerry was half a head taller than him. When shaking hands, he said to him in broken Chinese: "Mr. Liu, I heard Yun talking about you. You are very successful in writing books and starting a business."

Liu Xiaonan replied with a smile: "I know martial arts, do you know Chinese martial arts?"

Jerry said happily: "I know, I know, I often see it in movies, it's very powerful."

Liu Xiaonan made a false gesture, pointed at Guan Xiaoyun who was standing aside, and said to Jerry with a drawn-out tone: "You-know-white?"

Jerry put his arms around Guan Xiaoyun, nodded and said, "I understand, I understand, you have to be nice to Yun."

Meng Xiangxiang and Wu Yanli on the side almost laughed out loud.

After attending Guan Xiaoyun's wedding, Liu Xiaonan immediately asked Wang Aiqing to do Dong Xiaojun's job again. There was no hope of remarriage. Let's see if he could reconsider Wu Yanli.

Two days later, Wang Aiqing replied to him that Dong Xiaojun didn't think about it, because it was too difficult to live with a disabled child.He said nothing.

After the Spring Festival, Guan Xiaoyun asked her Jerry to buy her a retail store and started a clothing business.She didn't forget what she said, and she actually found a foreigner for Wu Yanli. The foreigner expressed his willingness to take care of Wu Yanli's mother and son, and made an appointment to meet up.

Wu Yanli couldn't make up her mind, so she came to the office and asked Liu Xiaonan.Liu Xiaonan looked at Wu Yanli and said dully, "You decide for yourself."

Wu Yanli lowered her head and said, "I don't want to worry about it anymore. Who can take care of me like you? But, I can't live in your farm all my life. I don't know what to do?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "Then follow my original plan. I've already bought you a house and a retail store. It's not far from your parents' home, and they can take care of you and your children. You follow Guan Xiaoyun to start a clothing business. I'm afraid It's the best solution, and I can't think of anything else."

Wu Yanli raised her head, grabbed Liu Xiaonan's hand suddenly, and begged with firm eyes, "Let me give birth to a child for you! I don't want anything, I just want to have a healthy child. I won't interfere I will keep your family a secret, please trust me. If you disagree, I will not accept your gift for no reason, I can only go to see that foreigner."

Wu Yanli shed tears, but her tears stimulated Liu Xiaonan's nerves far less than the word "laowai". Could it be that she didn't have the courage and ability to take that responsibility?
Yue Xuelian drew a wound on his heart, Guan Xiaoyun sprinkled a handful of salt on that wound, he couldn't let Wu Yanli tear that wound open again.He gently held Wu Yanli's trembling hand.

Liu Xiaonan found an authoritative medical institution and took Wu Yanli to draw blood for chromosome testing. This time, there must be no mistakes.A few days later, the test results came out. There was no problem with the chromosomes of the two people, and the child born would never have any genetic diseases.

The two were completely relieved.Liu Xiaonan took Wu Yanli to see the house. The house was a three-bedroom house, and everything had been arranged.

As soon as she entered the room, Wu Yanli hugged Liu Xiaonan tightly, trembling all over, leaned on his chest and said, "Come on, today is that critical day."

Liu Xiaonan hesitated for a moment, then walked into the bedroom gently hugging Wu Yanli.

Within a few days, Wu Yanli moved out of the farm with Wen Tian, ​​declaring that she wanted to live with her parents.When it comes, it is earth-shattering, and when it goes, it is ordinary.She called Guan Xiaoyun and said that she could not meet the foreigner, but her parents disagreed.

Liu Xiaonan and Wu Yanli did not go on a tryst like lovers, they only stayed together on those critical days.There is no lingering and reluctance, just a routine.I didn't feel that it was against morality or uneasy, because it was arranged by fate, and I could only accept this fact.

After more than a month, spring blossoms.Liu Xiaonan received a call from Wu Yanli, asking him to go and her voice was a bit strange.

As soon as they met, Wu Yanli showed him a test report and told him that she was pregnant.He hugged her gently and kissed her tenderly.Her tears of joy could not be stopped.

Leaving Wen Tian alone at home for the time being, Liu Xiaonan took Wu Yanli to find Fang Juan for a pregnancy test.Although he and Fang Juan are still friends, they haven't been in touch for a long time.After the meeting, he told Fang Juan that it was entrusted by a friend. There was a child with cerebral palsy before, and this time he must find an expert to take a look.

During Jiang Changling's hospitalization, Fang Juan checked Wu Yanli and Guan Xiaoyun, but she had forgotten it over the past few years.Although Fang Juan was suspicious, she answered seriously without asking any questions.

She said that there are many causes of cerebral palsy, and the month before birth and the month after birth are the most critical periods.Brain hypoxia during birth dystocia and postnatal jaundice may cause brain damage.She gave Wu Yanli a comprehensive examination, and found nothing wrong, and asked Wu Yanli to go to the hospital to find her for screening on a regular basis.

The two returned to Wu Yanli's home with joy.Wen Tian peed his pants, and Wu Yanli was busy washing and changing his clothes.

Liu Xiaonan said: "In the future, you will definitely not be able to do it alone. You must either hire a nanny or bring your parents here."

Wu Yanli said: "I'll bring my parents over to help me take care of Wentian."

Liu Xiaonan stood up and said, "It's been too long, I have to go."

Wu Yanli sent it to the door, reluctantly: "Will you not come again?"

Liu Xiaonan said, "I won't come again. You keep the bank card I gave you, the money in it is enough for the three of you, mother and child, to live."

Wu Yanli hugged Liu Xiaonan, raised her face eagerly: "How about the last time? From now on, we will never see each other again, nor contact each other again."

Liu Xiaonan agreed.Maybe it's the thought of being pregnant, maybe it's to savor the last warmth, maybe it's the thought of how far away the future is, maybe it's because they want to remember each other firmly, they are unusually gentle, unusually careful, and unusually slow.It doesn't matter if you don't have fun, you just want to freeze time.

However, I can't get entangled any longer!This delay is not good for anyone.Liu Xiaonan put on her clothes, calmly said "Let's go!" greeted Wen Tian, ​​opened the door and went downstairs.

Wu Yanli lay motionless on the bed, staring at the ceiling, as if Liu Xiaonan had taken her soul away.

When Liu Xiaonan returned home, Meng Xiangxiang and the child hadn't come back yet, so he went shopping and cooked.After the two "unexpected incidents", the turmoil in my heart has subsided, and I feel that I can face Meng Xiangxiang and the two children with peace of mind in the future.

After Meng Xiangxiang got off work, he picked up the children and went home. He was surprised to see Liu Xiaonan cooking at home.In the recent period, he rarely came back so early.

Meng Xiangxiang wrote in his diary that day: Xiaonan has been very busy recently. It's the first anniversary of his father-in-law's death. He has been using busyness to get rid of his sadness. He has changed a lot, and he still can't see what has changed.He told me that Wu Yanli was leaving the farm to live with her parents.The reason is that Guan Xiaoyun introduced a foreigner to Wu Yanli, but her parents disagreed.Xiaonan bought a house for Wu Yanli in the urban area, and housed their mother and son.I have no opinion. It is right to help the weak, but I think things are not that simple.Don't ask, definitely don't ask!I have always believed in Xiaonan.
