Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 190 Children
The next morning, at Hu Liwen's suggestion, Liu Qiyu took her for a walk up the mountain and visited the cherry orchard on Liuzi Street.Because of the clear answer from her parents, Hu Liwen looked relaxed and happy, holding Liu Qiyu's hand, and walking leisurely on the hillside dirt road in the countryside.

Liu Qiyu asked with concern: "Are you still used to sleeping on the kang last night?"

"Of course I'm used to it." Hu Liwen said regretfully, "It's so hot and comfortable. It's a pity that we have to return to Beijing tomorrow and can only sleep for one night."

"Every Spring Festival, we will go back to grandma's house for the New Year. My father used to write Spring Festival couplets for the villagers, but now it's me and Qimeng."

"This is also a beautiful inheritance. I hope that during the Spring Festival this year, I will also be lucky enough to live at my grandma's house for the New Year and sleep on the kang."

Liu Qiyu looked at Hu Liwen and asked, "After reading my father's "Longitude and Latitude Thread", do you have any thoughts?"

Hu Liwen replied: "I read it many years ago, and most of the details have been forgotten. What impresses me deeply is the sincere but unsatisfactory love between the hero and heroine, which makes people feel quite regrettable."

"Because privacy protection is inconvenient to disclose, when my father wrote this book, he concealed many real scenes. The real situation is that the hero is unwilling to obey the arrangement of the heroine's parents to take the official career, thus abandoning himself The dream, the two had no choice but to break up, causing serious damage to each other's hearts."

"Qiyu, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, such a tragedy will not happen again to you and me. If you are interested in building big ships, aircraft carriers and warships, I am willing to follow your dreams. After all, we are studying the same major. of."

"Liwen, thank you for your understanding and support."

"Don't be silly, of course I want to understand and support you. These days, I have been deeply shocked. A person who claims to be ordinary has done so many extraordinary things. The children educated by such parents, It must also be extraordinary. It is admirable that you all have your own dreams, including his dreams. The reason why I took those photos was to show my parents that I made the right choice and that I Lovers are excellent."

The autumn wind is rustling, but the cherry orchard is still green, dotted with hillsides with withered autumn grass and brown bare land.Hu Liwen was running and taking pictures in the cherry grove. She said to Liu Qiyu: "When the big cherries bloom and ripen, you must bring me back to have a look."

Liu Qiyu said: "It was a beautiful and mature season. Qimeng and I had already joined the picking team when we were very young."

Hu Liwen said longingly: "For a girl who grew up in a big city, it is very attractive."

Liu Qiyu said: "There are also grandma's cherry trees here, grandma's big cherries must welcome her granddaughter-in-law to come and pick them."

Hu Liwen hugged Liu Qiyu and kissed: "I very much hope to be the granddaughter-in-law of Liu's family. Nine years of college is enough for us to love each other and understand each other. Qiyu, because of my parents' job position, it is not convenient for me at present. I revealed that I can't take you to see my parents for the time being, I hope you can understand. The reason why I live in the school is also to be an ordinary person."

Liu Qiyu returned the passionate kiss: "Thank you for telling me this, of course I can understand, I believe we will go far, far."

Hu Liwen looked back at Liuzi Street under the hillside, she said: "Although I will not live here for a long time, Liuzi Street will definitely occupy an important place in my heart."

Liu Qiyu said: "Your name will definitely be recorded in the Liu family tree."

In the afternoon, the family returned to Bincheng.After staying for one night, Liu Qiyu and Hu Liwen are going back to Beijing.Early in the morning, Liu Xiaonan drove to the farm to bring seafood to Hu Liwen's parents, and Meng Xiangxiang drove his son and Hu Liwen to the airport.

Liu Xiaonan prepared three incubators of seafood and arrived at the airport on time.After completing the check-in procedures, he said to Hu Liwen: "Xiao Hu, go home and tell your parents that I didn't spend a penny, and all the seafood is home-grown. Dried sea cucumbers can be stored for a long time, and your parents can eat them for a long time. It is good for the body. The rest of the live seafood must be eaten on the same day, and the uneatable ones should be given away.”

Hu Liwen said: "Thank you uncle. I came here empty-handed, but I will take so many good things with me when I go back."

Qi Meng interjected: "You didn't come here empty-handed, you brought me a sister-in-law. Isn't that right, sister-in-law?"

Hu Liwen embraced her dream and said, "I like you so much, sister-in-law."

Meng Xiangxiang said: "Liwen, our family doesn't talk about the two families, go back and give your parents a treat. Qiyu, you must take good care of Liwen both in and out of school."

Liu Qiyu agreed, and Hu Liwen shook hands with her uncles and aunts to say goodbye.Liu Qiyu and Hu Liwen boarded the plane and flew away from Bincheng, landed more than an hour later, took a taxi to send Liu Qiyu back to school, and then Hu Liwen went home alone.During lunch, Liu Qiyu received a picture from Hu Liwen, the table was full of fresh seafood.

His dream was to return to school with Fang Shujun in the afternoon.As agreed in advance, Meng Xiangxiang sent Qi Meng to the train station to meet Gu Yu and Fang Shujun.The two children checked their tickets and entered the station. Gu Yu and Meng Xiangxiang stood at a corner of the station square and talked.

"Qiyu and his girlfriend also returned to school?"

"I flew back in the morning. As soon as the children left, I felt empty in my heart."

"How lucky you are. You are just in your early forties, and you will soon be a mother-in-law."

"What, both of them are both masters and doctoral students, and they will graduate after nine years. By then, I will be in my early fifties."

"Then you are also a mother-in-law-to-be now, and you have seen the dawn. It's not like I broke my heart and wanted to marry you, and your family's stubbornness is still obstructing it."

"I can't tell you about the two of you, and I don't want to talk about it. I don't interfere with my children's choices. It's useless for you to mention it to me."

"Ha, why do you sound more and more like Liu Xiaonan, you really deserve to be a couple. What's the matter, don't you think I'm your sister?"

"Honestly, Sister Gu Yu, the children have grown up, their wings are hardened and they fly away, our words as parents are no longer useful."

"Who says no, you can tell him a hundred sentences, and it's good if he can listen to one sentence. He's either holding a computer or a mobile phone all day long."

The two mothers sighed and sighed here, and the two children talked quietly on the high-speed rail.Fang Shujun said to his dream: "I went home and searched on the bookshelf, and I found the book written by your father and read it in one sitting. You mean, the prototypes of the heroes and heroines in the book are your father and my mother? Did they ever love each other?"

Qi Meng said: "It's not just love, I can feel it. When my father wrote this book, he must be crying in his heart. My father and your mother formed a deep friendship when they were young. After meeting, they loved each other so sincerely. Enthusiastic, but because of your grandparents' obstruction, you have to bear the pain and part ways."

"How do you know so clearly? Did your dad tell you, or did you guess? My mother never mentioned it to me. "

"How could your mother mention this to you? Regarding their love, there are also fragments of records in my mother's diary. Combined with this autobiographical novel of my father, I came to such a judgment."

"Even if it's like you said, what does it have to do with us? They are them, we are us, it has nothing to do with it."

"Because of this unending love, my dad doesn't like families like yours. Do you think it has anything to do with it? My dad's enthusiasm for you is entirely due to his friendship with your mother. Don't get me wrong."

Fang Shujun suddenly realized: "No wonder your father told me that when I can take on the responsibilities of a man, I will go to talk about love. This is what he said from experience, and it is also a spur to me. I will prove it to him. "

Qi Meng said calmly: "During college, I didn't want to fall in love, and I had to devote all my energy to studying. In my free time, I also wanted to practice writing novels and fulfill a long-cherished wish of my father."

Fang Shujun said: "I will also devote my energy to my studies until you graduate from university. I also support your writing and would like to be your first reader."

Qimeng said: "Before we graduated from undergraduate, we were just friends."

Fang Shujun said: "Okay, let's make a deal."

When Meng Xiangxiang returned home, Liu Xiaonan was sitting in the study, thinking about things alone.If my family conditions were better back then, wouldn't Gu Yu's parents interfere?Is Gu Yu and Gu Yu lovers who finally get married?It was obviously unfair to Meng Xiangxiang to think like this, but the situation his son faced forced him to think this way, and he must not let his son go through the predicament he had experienced again.

Meng Xiangxiang saw Liu Xiaonan sitting there meditating, and asked, "The children have gone home for a few days and then left. Does it mean that the house is deserted because no one talks?"

"The children are at home, so they don't have much to say to us." Liu Xiaonan looked at Meng Xiangxiang: "What do you think of Hu Liwen's child?"

Meng Xiangxiang sat down and said: "It's not difficult to see that Liwen has received a good family education, and she doesn't have the obvious characteristics of hypocrisy and coquettish that are commonly found in most girls. She is quite a good match for our son. You have other view?"

"My opinion is the same as yours. I am also satisfied with such a daughter-in-law. The problem is that I don't know what attitude Liwen's parents will have. I want to create some strong conditions for them. I can't let them look down on our family and look down on us. our son."

"Miss Liwen and our son really love each other. I can see this, just like I loved you back then. What do you want to do?"

"I want to buy a house with them in Beijing. One is to show Hu Liwen's parents our economic strength, and the other is to benefit the children's future study, work and life. Housing prices are rising year by year. Buy early and feel at ease, even if my son will return to Binhai. Working in the city is also an investment.”

"You think very comprehensively. I have no objection. You can handle it yourself."

Liu Xiaonan took the high-speed train to Beijing the next day, found a hotel to stay in, looked at the map to check the listings, and made a field trip.More than a week later, he took a fancy to a [-]-square-meter renovated second-hand house in the Fourth Ring Road.He invited his son and Hu Liwen out to see the house together and listen to their opinions.

Liu Qiyu and Hu Liwen walked out of the campus together to meet Liu Xiaonan.Not long after, when I saw Liu Xiaonan again outside the gate of Tsinghua University, Hu Liwen looked very happy: "Uncle, the seafood I brought home last time, my parents were very happy after tasting them, let me thank you."

Liu Xiaonan said, "You're welcome, uncle came here empty-handed."

Liu Qiyu asked suspiciously: "Dad, you came to Beijing suddenly, must something be wrong?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "After you left, I discussed with your mother and wanted to buy you a house in Beijing. If you stay in Beijing after graduation, the house will be for you to live in; if you don't want to stay in Beijing, the house can be regarded as an investment for you. "

Hu Liwen said: "Uncle, houses in Beijing are very expensive, we don't need them for now."

Liu Xiaonan said: "It is because it is expensive that I bought it early. Uncle can still get the money. I won't need it for now, but I will definitely need it in the future."

After looking at the house, the two children are very satisfied with the environment and facilities around the size of the house.Liu Xiaonan said to Hu Liwen: "Your aunt and I like you very much. I want to put your two names on the real estate certificate of this house. Do you have any objections?"

Hu Liwen said: "I also like my uncle and aunt, and that family. Thank you uncle and aunt for trusting me."

Liu Xiaonan bought the house directly, and the names of the two children were listed on the real estate certificate.He had a meal with his two children, and took the high-speed train back to Bincheng without stopping.

Sending Liu Xiaonan away, Hu Liwen said to Liu Qiyu: "We don't study hard, I'm sorry for your parents' kindness."

Not long after returning to Bincheng, Liu Xiaonan received a call from Wang Ping: "Xiaonan, please persuade Yu Zhiyong. His son is dating, and he is still messing around with some women outside, and he doesn't come back all night. Home. I didn’t listen to my persuasion, and wanted to divorce me, why didn’t he think about who took him in at the beginning. "

Liu Xiaonan called Yu Zhiyong and said only one sentence: "Zhiyong, think about how you hated your father when you were in high school."
