Liu Erzhu has been feeling uneasy these past few days.
Sometimes I get distracted at work.
That day at the hospital, she made everything clear to Xiao Weiguo, and the old lady also agreed to come and propose marriage after being discharged from the hospital.
But who knew that even though the kid had been discharged from the hospital for many days, he hadn't mentioned the matter at all.
Several times, Liu Erzhu wanted to go to Liu Ye's house to confront her. He even considered sending Liu Ye back to live at the school.
But he knew that even if he sent Liu Ye back to school, he couldn't stop the two of them from being together, and he would only be a villain in the end.
They'll end up with a bad reputation for breaking up a couple.
But no matter what, he was unwilling to give up, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Eventually, he fell ill.
It wasn't a serious illness, just a fever and blisters on the corners of his mouth. The medicine didn't help. The old Chinese medicine doctor in the village saw him and said it was because his heart fire was too strong, and told him to watch his temper and not get angry easily.
But how could I not be angry? What was that kid Xiao Weiguo thinking?
Actually, Xiao Weiguo didn't have any particular thoughts; he was simply too busy lately and had forgotten about it.
Today, Liu Erzhu didn't go to work. He ate some food and then lay down on the bed. The large blister on the corner of his mouth was burning with pain, making him restless.
"Liu Qing, pour me a glass of water. Do you want me to die of thirst?"
Liu Qing poured a glass of water, brought it in, and handed it to him.
"It's so hot, are you trying to scald me to death?"
Liu Erzhu slammed the cup down on the table.
"It's been sitting here for ages, where's it hot?"
Liu Qing picked up the cup and touched it; it wasn't too hot at all.
"All you ever do is take your anger out on me. If you're so tough, take it out on my sister and that scoundrel."
Liu Qing clearly knew why the old man was angry, which was why she looked indignant.
"You scoundrel, you scoundrel? Did you teach him to be a scoundrel?"
Liu Erzhu slammed his hand on the table.
“He’s just a good-for-nothing, why can’t I call him that? Even Xiao Jian calls him that.”
Liu Erzhu suddenly stopped talking and stared at his son for a long time.
"You little brat, do you know where Xiao Jian is?"
Liu Qing was clearly flustered when Laozi asked him that question.
He picked up the cup from the table.
"I'll go get you another glass of water."
Liu Erzhu watched his son's retreating figure, lost in thought.
At this moment, his wife, Wang Guirong, came in, carrying a feather duster and a rag, cleaning the dust in the house.
"Mother, do you think our Xiaoqing knows the whereabouts of Wei Guoguo's second son? Something doesn't sound right to me."
Hearing him say that, Wang Guirong leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Dad, let me tell you, we've been getting a lot of letters from Xiaoqing lately. We don't have any relatives outside the family, so who would write to him? I bet it's Erxiaozi. They've been playing together since they were little, and they're very close."
Hearing his wife say this, Liu Erzhu roughly understood what was going on.
I need to talk to Xiao Weiguo about this when I have time. He's finally on the right track and his career is thriving. It's time for him to bring his younger brother back.
Suddenly, the street became hot, and there was a lot of noise outside the door.
Liu Erzhu listened intently for a while and heard the sound of cars, not just one, but he didn't understand what they were doing.
Wang Guirong dropped the feather duster and rag she was holding.
"You lie down, I'll go take a look."
He then walked out.
Hearing the commotion outside, Liu Qing, who had brought in water, put the cup on the table.
"I'll go out and take a look too."
Which child doesn't love excitement? Liu Qing was no exception.
Outside, a Jeep and a large green truck arrived.
Xiao Weiguo was the first to jump out of the jeep. He got out from the back door, opened the front passenger door, and helped Grandma Liu out.
Then, Liu Changhe and Wang Xiuhong also got out of the car.
They were all dressed in new clothes, looking radiant and beaming with joy.
Upon seeing the two cars arrive, many villagers who had nothing else to do gathered around.
"Isn't this Xiao Weiguo? What are you doing at Liu Ye's house?"
"Who are those people? That big, dark guy looks like some kind of official from the county."
In a small village like theirs, it's rare for cars to come into the village, so the arrival of two cars at once drew comments and whispers from the villagers.
Guess what happened.
"Unload the truck."
Liu Changhe waved his hand, and two young soldiers began unloading items from the truck one by one.
First, there was a brand new women's bicycle, brightly colored and very attractive.
In rural areas, people usually ride the old-fashioned 28-inch bicycles. This new type of bicycle, which is only ridden in big southern cities, is something they have basically never even seen before.
Then came the large cardboard boxes.
Look at the picture above; there's a sewing machine, a tape recorder, and a huge box.
Some sharp-eyed villagers noticed what was written on it.
A Hitachi 20-inch color television. Next to it were some foreign characters that I couldn't understand.
"My goodness, a 20-inch imported TV, I heard it costs several thousand yuan, what is Xiao Weiguo trying to do?"
Some villagers understood.
"Is this some kind of marriage proposal?"
"Liu Erzhu's daughter, Liu Ye?"
"Who else could it be? He only has one daughter."
"Has Xiao Weiguo made a fortune outside? I've never seen such a generous dowry before."
"Of course, I'm envious."
"What good is being envious? Do you even have a daughter as pretty as Liu Ye?"
......
But once those things were moved into the Liu family's gate, the villagers couldn't understand what happened next.
