Chapter 124
Facing two unfamiliar faces, Bi Chunliu was completely bewildered. If He Xi hadn't told her in advance that these people were looking for him, Bi Chunliu would have thought they were relatives of He Xi's or something.
The young man spoke first, "Sister, don't you remember me? I'm the one who sold you the bamboo mat. Do you remember it?"
Oh~ Bi Chunliu remembered that she had bought a few bamboo mats on the black market. Because she couldn't carry them, this person delivered the goods to her. When the goods were delivered, she also asked for two bamboo baskets. She was not married at that time.
However, the young man was wearing tattered clothes and his face was tanned. She couldn't even see the boy's facial features clearly at that time, so it would be strange if she could recognize him.
"So it's you. Let's go to my house and talk. The two kids have to come too." Bi Chunliu asked them to follow him to his house, and asked Qiuguo to bring Gao Xin and Gao Nian home as well. "Gao Xin, go study with Xia He, and Qiuguo will take Gao Nian out to play. Your mom has something to do, so you two should have dinner at my house tonight."
"Okay!" Gao Xin was worried about his grandfather's health, but Gao Nian had just had a great time playing in the yard and had no idea why his uncle came. Now he was even more happy to play with sister Qiuguo!
After watching Gao Xin close and lock the door, Bi Chunliu asked, "I'm sorry, I was so worried about the siblings that I forgot to ask. What's your name? And who is this girl?"
The young man said, "Sister, my full name is Zhang Liufa, and I'm the sixth child in my family. You can call me Xiao Zhang, Liuzi, or Liufa. This is our brigade." Zhang Liufa glanced at the young woman and said, "Our brigade's sales consultant is Zhou Nian, an educated youth from a big city."
Zhou Nian extended her hand and shook Bi Chunliu's. "Hello, sister."
"Hey, hello, Consultant Zhou." Bi Chunliu welcomed the two into the main room and sat them down. Wei Guo brought them a bowl of water and sat down in the room as well.
The two people were indeed a little thirsty. After drinking the wine in gulps, Bi Chunliu asked, "What is the matter with you coming to see me?" She didn't think that buying a bamboo mat would provide after-sales service.
This time, Zhang Liufa only served as a guide. He looked at Zhou Nian and waited for her to speak.
Zhou Nian put down the things she was carrying and said, "Sister, we came all the way here to thank you. We should have come a long time ago, but we've been rushing to meet deadlines and haven't been able to come. Our team leader wanted to come too, but he had a stomachache yesterday, so he couldn't come. Zhang Liufa said that it was you who told him about the benefits of bamboo mats last time and encouraged our team to participate in the Canton Fair using them. He told the team leader when he got home. As for me, I took advantage of this opportunity because I'm from Guangdong Province and brought everyone to the Canton Fair."
Bi Chunliu said embarrassedly, "No, no, I didn't do anything. It's not worth your while. I just mentioned it. You guys did the work and negotiated with the people. I didn't help at all, so how can I take credit for it?" If this person hadn't come, she would have forgotten she'd mentioned it. If she had the skills, she would have gone to make money, but when she mentioned it to Zhang Liufa, it was only because she'd seen certain handicrafts fetch high prices abroad. As for making money herself, that was just a beautiful fantasy.
"You mentioned something that we haven't thought about. After all, bamboo mats couldn't be sold at a high price before, and only the elderly people in the production team would make these labor-intensive things to earn a few dollars." Zhou Nian really wanted to thank Bi Chunliu. Because of her, he finally felt that going to the countryside to build the countryside was not an empty slogan.
"Okay, then I won't refuse anymore. Thank you for accepting it, but please take it. Otherwise, I will feel really guilty."
The two of them kept refusing, but in the end Bi Chunliu left the things behind and promised Zhou Nian to visit their production team when she was free.
After seeing the two off, Xing Fei put his arm around Bi Chunliu's shoulders and said, "So this idea came from my wife. She's really a brilliant person! You're amazing!"
"That's enough, that's enough. I'm already very embarrassed..." If she didn't know what she had done, she would have been so proud of herself.
Xing Fei then said, "I'm not kidding. Our director mentioned in a meeting before the New Year that we'd add two more police cards to their commune's police station. It's because their production team is getting richer this year, and they're worried about people doing bad things."
"Really? Then I did a good thing, haha."
"Of course!"
Because of the unexpected guests, the family was unable to go to the mountain, but with the Gao siblings there, the dinner was still very lively.
The next day, Xing Fei and Bi Chunliu went to the mountains. Facts proved that there was a huge difference between people with good skills and ordinary people. Compared to her younger siblings, Bi Chunliu could still rely on strength and sometimes accurate aim to win, but once they got to the mountain, she discovered that Xing Fei was so agile that he looked like a monkey who had lived in the mountains for years. There was no tree he couldn't climb!
Not only did the two of them gather a large bag of locust flowers and find plenty of wild vegetables, they also found three or four nests of pheasant eggs abandoned by pheasants, each containing a dozen or so eggs. Because the couple had come fully prepared for this trip, Xing Fei even blocked the rabbit den, while Bi Chunliu waited at the entrance with a bag. Together, the two of them released three half-grown rabbits, leaving behind five full-grown ones.
Xing Fei smiled and said, "Not bad, at least the trip was not in vain!" He smoked two holes and just walked to his wife's side when he heard a thumping sound not far away. He thought he was mistaken, but he didn't expect that a stupid rabbit would also come out of this hole.
Bi Chunliu thought to herself, she used to say she'd come back with a bountiful harvest, but the harvest back then couldn't even compare to what she has now! Delighted, she simply called out to Xing Fei, "Brother, you're awesome!" This coaxed Xing Fei into a state of ecstasy, and she promised him she could continue looking for rabbits.
"Let's not look for it anymore. The weather is getting hotter and we won't be able to keep it. We've almost finished eating these. After we finish preparing the rabbit, we'll call Dad and Xiaomei to come for dinner." Mainly because she didn't like salty pickled meat.
"Okay, let's go home now?"
"good!"
…
After a heavy rain, the temperature continued to rise.
Bi Chunliu fanned herself with a piece of cardboard, becoming increasingly irritable. The weather was hot, and she'd been keeping a close eye on Weiguo lately, not letting him go to the compound or ride his bike, and telling him to go home after work. If they didn't both get off work around the same time, she'd be tempted to pick him up.
Bi Weiguo helplessly expressed to his brother-in-law that his elder sister seemed to have something on her mind. She seemed to be worried for some reason that he would hit someone while riding his bicycle. But when he asked his elder sister, she said it was nothing and told him to walk on the main road when going to and from get off work, walk slowly and not to rush. He almost didn't know how to move his legs.
Faced with his brother-in-law's complaints, Xing Fei had no choice but to agree to help him ask and then comfort him.
"Wife, what's wrong with you? Why are you so nervous? Did Weiguo do something wrong?"
"What's wrong with that?!" Bi Chunliu retorted anxiously, but she immediately realized what she was saying.
Seeing Xing Fei's concerned eyes, she hugged Xing Fei's waist and buried her face in his neck, "I am..."
Before he could finish his words, tears welled up in his eyes. Xing Fei suddenly became nervous. How serious was this?!
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Bi Chunliu cried for a long time before she sobbed and said, "I've had this dream many times recently. In my dream, I'm defending my country..."
She hadn't been sleeping well recently because every time she closed her eyes, she dreamed about her past life. She told her what had happened, how she hadn't seen Weiguo since he ran away, and then about the body she had been called to claim in the middle of winter, which she couldn't see closely.
"It's okay, it's okay. Dreams are always the opposite." Xing Fei kept stroking his wife's hair. "Look, our life now is completely different from your dream. Weiguo works every day now, so how can he have time to go to the slum to learn how to ride a bike? Besides, we have a bike at home."
Xing Fei tried hard to calm his wife down and felt sorry for her. No wonder she sometimes shouted at night, "This is not possible!" It turned out that she really had a bad dream.
"Don't worry, I'll tell the patrol officers passing by Weiguo on his way to and from get off work to make two more trips during this period."
"Okay..." Perhaps after she had spoken out what was in her heart, she relaxed and fell asleep while crying.
Xing Fei laid Bi Chunliu flat, took a towel to wipe her face, and after cleaning up his wife, he went to his brother-in-law's room and told him how worried and anxious his elder sister was about him.
Knowing his elder sister's dream, Bi Weiguo understood why she was so worried about him. He wasn't annoyed by her, but she was so inexplicably nervous, as if he were a child who only knew how to get into trouble. He promised, "Brother-in-law, don't worry. I will definitely behave myself. I won't let you worry anymore. Actually, I don't wander around after work. Brother-in-law, if it was according to my elder sister's dream, I wouldn't jump into the river just because of this, right?"
Xing Fei tapped his brother-in-law's head, "...You really aren't shy at all. Pah! Your eldest sister will cry again if she finds out."
"Pah, pah, pah!" Bi Weiguo continued, "Brother-in-law, do you think I'm right? Based on what you know about my personality, I'm not that kind of person, am I?"
The more Bi Weiguo spoke, the more he felt that he was right. Putting aside other things, he was famous for being generous. Even if he had to pay for a house, he shouldn't have been like this. Moreover, even if he was gone, there was nothing he could save, right?
Xing Fei: "... Stop imagining things. This is just a dream your elder sister had. Dreams are not necessarily true. According to your elder sister's dream, I haven't married your elder sister yet. This dream is just a reminder for us. Pay attention to safety during this period, go home on time, and tell me in advance if you have anything to say. Okay, go to sleep, I'm going back to the room."
After his brother-in-law left, Bi Weiguo couldn't figure it out. He could only sigh that it was still a dream. Hehe, I didn't usually notice that my elder sister was so worried about me! Thinking of this, Bi Weiguo fell asleep contentedly. Xing Fei, on the other hand, couldn't sleep. He put his hands under his head and thought about the dream he had had before. Oh my god, this is not a coincidence, right? Because I didn't go on a blind date with Chunliu, and then they encountered that kind of thing, so I have been a bachelor all this time? ! It wasn't until I became an old man that I met my wife who was also an old lady? Where can he go to seek justice? !
