Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 188 Tricycle

Hu Liwen never expected that Liu Qiyu's family would have meals with the staff of the farm during the festival, and they would eat the same meals in the same cafeteria.

Although Liu Qiyu had explained to her in advance that this was a rule set by his father for many years, and even though the hygiene of the cafeteria was okay and not disgusting, she still found it unbelievable and incomprehensible.

She saw clearly that Liu Qiyu's family was indeed an ordinary family, they said it was an intellectual family, and they still didn't leave the word "earth" at all.I don't really care about this kind of "soil", but my parents may not be able to accept it.

For parents to fully accept such a family and accept Liu Qiyu who grew up in such a family education, I am afraid that it will take a lot of work and a lot of trouble.

One table for women, two tables for men.Except for the nannies, the women on the farm consciously squeezed together at the same table as the men.Roasted whole lamb with beer and seafood, drinking and talking, the atmosphere is harmonious and lively, like a big family, which gave her an unusual feeling.She was eating seafood, but her eyes were fixed on Liu Qiyu at the other table.

Liu Qiyu was bragging to everyone: "I won a set of military punches, all the students were dumbfounded, and the instructor was also shocked. Afterwards, he asked who I learned from."

Fang Shujun asked: "Do the female students in your class adore you?"

Liu Qiyu said: "I don't know if the female students especially admire me. However, my body is the strongest among the male students."

Hu Liwen pursed her lips and smiled, thinking happily, your biggest gain is that you have captured a heart.

Qi Meng, who was beside her, touched Hu Liwen lightly, and said with a smile: "The eyes are straight, and I am not afraid of being eaten into the nose. Let me ask you, did you gain anything special by following my brother to the sea?"

"Yes!" Hu Liwen showed her thumb to Qimeng: "It hurts to have four small holes pinched by a flower cover crab."

"I pinched my finger, and it hurts my heart." Qimeng said exaggeratedly: "My brother is careless, and he doesn't know how to be compassionate and cherish jade. Apart from this, there is no other gain?"

"No." Hu Liwen said in a firm tone, but a little blush flew across her face.

Qimeng said: "You don't think of me as a sister, I'll ask my brother."

Hu Liwen stuffed a lamb chop into Qimeng's mouth and said, "I'll tell you when I get home."

Across the table, Gu Yu and Meng Xiangxiang were also talking softly.Gu Yu said: "I heard that your family has moved to a new house, so I went to visit after dinner."

Meng Xiangxiang said: "At that time, I also considered that if the two children had classmates to play, there would be no spare room to live in, so they moved."

Gu Yu looked at Hu Liwen and Qimeng who were on the opposite side, and said enviously, "You are really blessed. I don't know what kind of daughter-in-law my Shujun can bring me back."

Meng Xiangxiang said: "Your little thought, it's like someone can't see it."

After lunch, only Sha Wanli's family was left in the farm, and the rest were given two days off.After making arrangements for these two days, Liu Xiaonan also took her family home.Originally planned to return to Liuzi Street in the afternoon, because Gu Yu was going to visit the house, and there was a guest Hu Liwen, so I had to postpone it for a day.

Accompanied by Meng Xiangxiang, Gu Yu visited Liu Xiaonan's villa up and down.Back in the living room downstairs, Gu Yu said to Liu Xiaonan, "It's really not easy to find the first pot of gold."

Liu Xiaonan said: "At that time you opposed my stock trading. To tell you the truth, this house was bought with the proceeds from stock trading. It's just that now I've washed my hands and stopped investing in stocks, and I'm focused on real estate."

The noise of the four children came from upstairs, as if Fang Shujun and Qimeng were "interrogating" Qiyu and Hu Liwen.Gu Yu said: "Listen, you two, it seems that Qiyu is dating his female classmate."

Liu Xiaonan said, "So what? The children have grown up and gone to college, and the parents can't control them anymore."

Gu Yu said: "You guys better leave it alone, especially you Liu Xiaonan, I'm afraid you can't interfere this time. Don't you two think that this girl Hu Liwen has a special background? Listen to her conversation and knowledge, and look at her temperament and demeanor, that's just average. Is it a girl from someone else? Even though I cover it up, I can't cover up what's in my bones. I have better vision than you in this regard. Listen to my advice and treat this girl well."

Liu Xiaonan said: "Thank you for your reminder. However, I still say that, my daughter, don't even think about it."

Gu Yu said: "You don't care about your son's affairs, but you can intervene in your daughter's affairs?" Then he said to Meng Xiangxiang: "Your man has been holding on to the past, you have to persuade him hard."

Meng Xiangxiang said: "To untie the bell, one needs to tie it. I can't persuade him, and I can't persuade him."

Just as he was talking, Qi Meng and Fang Shujun ran down the stairs, Qi Meng excitedly announced: "I announce a great news, my brother and Hu Liwen fell in love, just today."

Liu Xiaonan and Meng Xiangxiang looked at each other, and Meng Xiangxiang said, "Then don't bother you."

Gu Yu said to Qimeng: "Qimeng, don't just be happy for your brother, when will you bring good news to your parents?"

Qi Meng blushed: "Auntie, I haven't considered this aspect yet."

Gu Yu didn't force Qi Meng to express his opinion, stood up and said: "There is a happy event at home, we won't bother you. Shujun, bid farewell to uncles and aunts."

After seeing off Gu Yu and Fang Shujun, Qimeng went to his parents' study to read.Meng Xiangxiang asked Liu Xiaonan: "Shall we go back to Liuzi Street tomorrow?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "Of course I have to go back, why not go back? You don't know that every Chinese New Year, the old lady will be at home waiting and looking forward to it."

Meng Xiangxiang said, "I'm afraid that Miss Liwen won't adapt to the rural environment."

Liu Xiaonan said: "If you want to be our daughter-in-law, if you don't adapt to the rural environment, you will fail."

Meng Xiangxiang persuaded: "Don't be so arbitrary. After all, Liwen is a girl from Beijing. Let me ask her before making a decision."

Liu Qiyu took Hu Liwen's hand and walked downstairs, stood in front of his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, Liwen and I love each other, and today we officially fall in love. We won't affect our studies."

Hu Liwen is generous, she said: "Uncles and aunts, my parents work in related departments of the army, and they are usually too busy to take care of me. The reason why I live in the school is also to not affect my studies."

Sure enough!Liu Xiaonan said: "I don't object to your falling in love, but you should use your relationship as a motivation for learning."

Meng Xiangxiang pulled Hu Liwen to sit down, and said to her: "Auntie is very happy too, I wish you all the best. That's right, Qiyu's grandma lives in the countryside. Tomorrow we want to go back to visit the old man's house and stay for one night. If you don't Adapt to the rural environment, Qiyu will stay at home with you."

Hu Liwen said happily: "Auntie, I have never been to the countryside. I really want to experience the life in the countryside and see grandma. I don't need special care."

"That's good." Meng Xiangxiang stood up and yelled into the study: "Qimeng, come out, mom will give you something."

Meng Xiangxiang went back to the bedroom, took out two beautiful small square boxes, opened them in front of Qimeng and Hu Liwen, and said to Hu Liwen, "These two jade bracelets were made by your uncle when Qiyu Qimeng was not born. I bought it, and it’s time to give it to you. You and Qimeng each have one, try it on.”

The two girls put on bracelets and compared each other's beauty.Hu Liwen said: "Thank you uncle and aunt."

Qi Meng sat beside Liu Xiaonan, shook the bracelet and said, "Thank you dad, it's really beautiful."

Liu Xiaonan said with a straight face: "Dad bought it with the manuscript fee he earned from climbing the grid. At that time, your mother and I didn't have a house, so we lived in Dad's dormitory. There was only a wooden bed and two desks. Eat in the cafeteria. The conditions are so simple, and you still think about my daughter's future, how is daddy treating you?"

Qi Meng swore: "Dad, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will definitely write a novel, inherit your dream, and live up to your high expectations."

Liu Xiaonan said: "If you can make breakthroughs and attainments in literature, your dowry will be even richer."

Qi Meng smiled and said, "Dad really spared no effort for me to inherit his literary dream."

Liu Xiaonan laughed triumphantly.Liu Qiyu also encouraged and said: "Qimeng, you alone shoulder the responsibilities of two people. One day, my brother will also be rewarded."

Qimeng turned to Hu Liwen: "My future sister-in-law, please make a statement."

Hu Liwen said generously: "At that time, I will pass on my bracelet to you as a pair."

In such a family atmosphere, Hu Liwen feels relaxed and friendly, without any sense of unfamiliarity.

The next morning, the family went to Liuzi Street.Liu Qiyu was still driving a car, and Hu Liwen was sitting in the passenger seat.Liu Qiyu told her that grandma's house also has a bathroom, and she can sleep on a kang or a bed, so she doesn't have to worry about living facilities and sanitary conditions.Hu Liwen said that she is not worried, if the family can live, so can she.

Talking and laughing easily all the way, I arrived at Liuzi Street unknowingly.Hu Liwen asked to see the school donated by Liu Xiaonan, so Liu Qiyu parked the car in front of the Liuzi Street Village Committee, and briefly explained how the village primary school became the village committee, explaining the source of the stone tablet and bringing it to his father. Impact.

Hu Liwen looked at the row of houses with solar heating devices and at the stone tablet that had gone through vicissitudes. She could feel the pride in Liu Qiyu's heart.She asked Liu Qiyu to stand next to the stele and take pictures with her mobile phone. This will be the most powerful weapon to conquer her parents' stubborn fortress.

Liu Qiyu said: "The newspapers and TVs in Bincheng have reported on what my father has done. Do you want to do a second report?"

Hu Liwen smiled implicitly: "What I do will be more important than newspaper and TV reports. Your father is indeed amazing, and I hope you can do the same."

Liu Qiyu stroked the stele and said: "It can be said that my father had a profound influence on me. It is our common family and country feelings and our common belief not to forget our hometown or our hometown. My father does not support us to study abroad. I am afraid it is also based on this."

Hu Liwen held Liu Qiyu's arm and said: "The blue is better than the blue, and I will help you become another pride of Liuzi Street."

Liu Qiyu said eagerly: "I also hope that you can become the most outstanding representative of the new generation of daughters-in-law of the Liu family."

The two drove to the vegetable and fruit distribution center again.The trading site was booming, and the distribution center was full of large trucks that came to purchase, agricultural electric vehicles that came to sell agricultural products, farmers from other villages in the village, and even farmers with a radius of more than ten or twenty miles gathered here.

Liu Qiyu greeted the familiar farmers and talked enthusiastically.Hu Liwen also took pictures of the vegetable and fruit distribution center with her mobile phone, and took pictures of the bustling and noisy trading scenes. This is a real scene of rural life that her parents usually don't see.And all of this is due to Liu Qiyu's father's vision and investment. Like a father, like a son, parents will accept and affirm Liu Qiyu.

Walking out of the vegetable and fruit distribution center, Hu Liwen looked back and said, "Qiyu, is this what your father called ordinary people doing ordinary things?"

Liu Qiyu said proudly: "Yes, I also want to be such an ordinary person."

Hu Liwen looked around Liuzijie and said, "It's really extraordinary to be such an ordinary person!"

Liu Qiyu and Hu Liwen drove to grandma's house and stopped the car outside the courtyard gate.When I got out of the car, I saw my father and grandma arguing in the yard, as if it was about a tricycle.

When Liu Xiaonan drove back home, she didn't pay attention to anything deliberately.Meng Xiangxiang took Qimeng and Sun Yuxiu to clean the house again. He and his mother walked out of the house to the yard, only to find a temporary new tricycle in the yard.After asking, I found out that this is a new transportation tool that my mother bought.

Liu Xiaonan got on the tricycle and tried riding it around the yard. The rear of the tricycle swung a lot from side to side, making it difficult to control.He asked his mother why she bought a tricycle, and her mother said it was for the convenience of walking when going to the market.

Liu Xiaonan became a little impatient when she heard this, and asked her mother, "Do you know how old you are? If you forget, let me tell you, how dangerous is it to go to the market by riding a tricycle? Or let my uncle drive you there?"

Jiang Changling smiled and answered her son's question: "I rode very smoothly, and I didn't feel any danger. You all have cars, and I must have a car. It is convenient to come and go, and it saves money."

Liu Xiaonan became even more angry, and her voice became louder unconsciously: "Do you need to save money? This time you must go with me, I can't leave you alone in the countryside, it's too worrying."

Jiang Changling still smiled: "Look at you, you have the same temper as your father when you are old, what are you shouting loudly with your eyes wide open? You look down on my old lady, don't you? You sit in the car and I will drive you around Take a lap and show you how to ride."

Liu Xiaonan was laughed at by her mother: "I won't ride in your three-wheeled luxury car without a license plate."

Hearing the quarrel, Meng Xiangxiang walked out of the house and said to Jiang Changling, "Auntie, you can't ride a tricycle anymore, you'd better come with us."

Jiang Changling said: "If I don't leave, I'm so free in my own home. The old neighbors, whoever's home cooks delicious food, call me to go. It's much better than living behind closed doors in your city."

Turning around, he saw Liu Qiyu and a girl walking into the gate of the courtyard, they went up to greet him and said, "My grandson is back."

Liu Qiyu introduced Hu Liwen to grandma: "Grandma, her name is Hu Liwen, she is my girlfriend."

Jiang Changling praised Hu Liwen for her beauty, and then said to Liu Qiyu, "Your father won't let grandma ride a tricycle. You are grandma's good grandson, so you have to support grandma."

Liu Qiyu smiled and said, "How can grandma support it? I absolutely obey grandma."

Jiang Changling patted the back of the tricycle and said, "Sit on it, grandma will take you for a walk and show your father."

Just as Liu Qiyu was about to sit on it, he saw his father staring at him, and he immediately understood what his father meant.The father didn't want grandma to be brave, he wanted grandma to retreat in the face of difficulties, and let Hu Liwen sit up too.He thought, if there were two people sitting on it, grandma would definitely not be able to move.

Jiang Changling stepped on the pedals and got on the tricycle, turned her head and said to Liu Xiaonan, "Look here."

It was a bit strenuous in the first few strokes, but the tricycle started to move and pedaled briskly. After leaving the courtyard gate, it turned a corner and pedaled forward.Liu Xiaonan followed beside the tricycle and said to her mother, "Mom, I know you are amazing, can you stop?"

Jiang Changling pedaled the tricycle vigorously and said, "You go back, I'll drive them back to buy some apples and pears."

Liu Xiaonan stopped and said to Liu Qiyu, "Take care of your grandma."

After riding for a while, Jiang Changling became more and more relaxed.Hu Liwen said to Liu Qiyu: "Grandma is so cute."
