Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 24 No.20 Chapter Four: Meeting
"Aqiu, look at them..." Zhang Lihua leaned over and whispered, "Shall we have another round?"

Looking at Zhang Lihua's expectant eyes, Song Qiu nodded without hesitation, pulled her away from the table, and went around to find a new empty table.

After running for a long time, I managed to find a table with two empty seats, and sat down in a hurry.

After sitting down, I realized that there was an acquaintance.

But it was Zhou Shitou and the others.

Seeing Zhang Lihua, Zhou Shitou smiled happily, "Lihua, we went to call you before we left the village! We didn't call the promiser, so we came here by ourselves. Are you just here?"

Zhang Lihua said: "We went up the mountain for a while before rushing here. We have been here for a while, you came early, why did you just sit here?"

When Zhou Shitou heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Hey, we are already in the third round."

Zhang Lihua's eyes widened. Are you eating at the third table?so edible?
Song Qiu couldn't stop scanning the stomachs of Zhou Shitou and the others. Sure enough, half-children eat poor old people, and they can eat them.

Wang Huzi on the side said: "We didn't sit together in the first and second rounds, and we sat apart, and we didn't grab the adults at the same table. We haven't eaten much yet, and the food is gone. This stomach is really not full. Ah, no, let’s continue eating.”

Zhang Lihua looked at Song Qiu, and said that they were also coming in the second round.

They were all from the same village, and they were not afraid of being laughed at by anyone. Zhou Shitou soon felt no embarrassment. He was already thick-skinned, and felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Lihua.

So he chatted with Zhang Lihua in a rambling manner, it was rare to sit and talk together like this, and he was very happy in his heart.

While talking, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Lihua, I saw brother Zhang Yang just now, did you meet him?"

When Zhang Lihua heard this, she became excited, "Did you see my brother? Where is he?"

Zhou Shishi hurriedly said: "Just now when I was sitting in the first round, Brother Zhang Yang was sitting at the table next to me, but after eating at that table, he walked over there with his fellow tablemates and didn't tell me much. what."

Zhang Lihua simply stood up and looked around, but there were too many people, and she couldn't see anything at all. She wanted to rush out to look for someone.

Song Qiu couldn't help pulling her to sit down, "Since Shitou has seen your brother and he's completely intact, don't worry about it. Don't worry, we will run into each other later."

Zhou Shitou followed suit and said, "I see that brother Zhang Yang seems to have gained weight, and he has grown a lot taller. He is very energetic. It seems that he is doing well. Don't worry, Lihua."

When Zhang Lihua heard the same reasoning, she sat down along with it, thinking that after eating this table, she would go find her parents, and by the way, see if she could meet her brother.

A table is full of half-grown children, chattering so loudly.

Song Qiu was still worried that people would see that their table was full of half-grown children, so they wouldn't give them a seat, but soon someone brought the bowls and chopsticks, and then the food was served.

It's still the same eight big bowls as before, and eight big steamed buns in one shaukei.

They are all from the same village, and they grew up together. Sitting together, it is not like sitting with others, but eating slowly.

The main reason is that they have already eaten one or two rounds. Although they are still hungry, they are not that hungry anymore.

Everyone took a steamed bun and ate with vegetables, but no one piled it into the bowl.

After eating at this table, Song Qiu was quite full. He turned to look at Zhang Lihua and saw that she was hiccupping too, so he couldn't help but smiled, then looked at Zhou Shitou and the others, and said, "We're full, so we won't sit down any longer. , are you still sitting?"

Zhou Shitou, who was also full, shook his head, Zhou Shitou said: "We plan to play nearby, come in the middle of the afternoon and take two more rounds, and then go back to the village, how about you?"

When he said this, he was looking at Zhang Lihua. It is rare to have this opportunity. It would be great if Lihua could play with them.

Zhang Lihua said: "I'm going to visit my parents, I have to go back later, so I won't play with you."

She still has to go back to pick up the mushrooms. It's enough to come here for a meal, but she can't stay here all day, come back tomorrow, there are still two days left.

If she stays here all day, her grandma will say hello to her.

When Zhou Shitou heard this, although he was a little disappointed, he didn't say much, just nodded.

So, the two parties separated.

Zhang Lihua took Song Qiu straight to the back of Zhuangzi. She had been here once before, so she knew where her parents were.

They walked through the square all the way without meeting Zhang Yang. Although Zhang Lihua felt a little regretful, she was relieved knowing that her brother was fine.

Landlord Cheng's house was very big, surrounded by high walls, and he couldn't see clearly what was inside. Zhang Lihua led Song Qiu along the wall to the back of Cheng's house.

There was a secluded blue-brick house next to an alley of the Cheng family, and there were rows of houses where the long-term workers of the Cheng family lived.

The conditions are really negligible, food and lodging are included, clothes are provided, and there are four taels of silver a year, so those who want to come to Cheng's family to do long-term jobs line up to come.

Over the years, many people have been changed one after another. Only Zhang Donggua and his wife have been doing well all the time, because they are honest, work hard, and don't sneak around and think about other things.

Such a person, no owner can rest assured.

On a big day like today's for the Cheng family, the entire Cheng family was filled with joy, and the Chang Gong Yuan was also bustling. They have a day off today and don't have to work, but they can't wander around. A banquet was specially given to them in front of them. Come.

When Zhang Lihua and Song Qiu knocked on the door, the long-term workers in the yard had just finished their meal.

When Zhang Donggua and Chen Shi saw the two people outside the door, they stood up happily, stepped over immediately, and called them to come in and sit down.

Because they are a couple who work all year round, they live alone together. The room is not too spacious, but it is bright and clean, and it is no worse than our own house.

Zhang Donggua and his wife haven't seen their daughter for a long time, so naturally they pulled people up and down to watch enough.

Mrs. Chen did not forget about Song Qiu, and mentioned a few words about her, "Ah Qiu seems to have grown a little taller. I heard that you were sick not long ago. Are you all recovering now?"

Song Qiu answered one by one, sat on the stool in a well-behaved manner, and listened to Zhang Lihua chatting with Zhang Donggua and his wife.

If she doesn't come for a year, she will be able to take a half-month leave at the end of the year to go home. Zhang Lihua and her parents have always been together less and more often.

But she didn't talk about other things, like how much work she did at home, and what she did with money from the family, she didn't talk about it.

Zhang Donggua and his wife didn't talk about it at first, but soon there was nothing to talk about, so they asked Zhang Yang, "Is your brother getting married recently?"
