Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 187
After one night of contact and communication, Hu Liwen and Qimeng became good sisters who talked about everything, and they left each other's phone calls and added WeChat.Wake up in the morning to wash and wash together, and share cosmetics. Because Hu Liwen is going to catch the sea with her brother, Qi Meng took out her coat and changed it for her.

After breakfast, the family—including guest Hu Liwen and nanny Sun Yuxiu—went to Longwangtang for the festival. Liu Xiaonan, Meng Xiangxiang, Sun Yuxiu had a car, and Liu Qiyu, Hu Liwen and Qimeng had a car.Liu Qiyu was driving, and Hu Liwen and Qi Meng were sitting in the back seat, still discussing Meng Xiangxiang's diary.

When passing by Longwangtang Town, Liu Qiyu found a daily necessities store and stopped the car.He asked Hu Liwen the size of her feet, and wanted to buy her a pair of water boots. After autumn, the sea was cold, so she couldn't go into the sea with bare feet.

Liu Qiyu got out of the car to buy water boots, and Qimeng said to Hu Liwen, "Look at how careful and considerate my brother is."

Hu Liwen said: "Do you want me to be your sister-in-law? We have almost the same body and personality, and we also like each other. Wouldn't it be better to be sisters?"

"Isn't it good to be my sister-in-law?" Qimeng said: "Being my sister-in-law can also be my sister. I grew up with my brother, and I know what kind of person my brother is. If I meet my brother I will never let such a man go."

Hu Liwen asked: "What kind of person should your sister-in-law be?"

Qimeng said: "Of course she is a person like my mother, family and career are balanced."

Hu Liwen said: "Then you will be disappointed, I am not qualified."

While talking, Liu Qiyu bought water boots and came back, and the topic came to an end.After trying it on, it fit well, so Liu Qiyu drove on.

Liu Xiaonan, Meng Xiangxiang, and Sun Yuxiu had already arrived at the farm, and everyone had already gathered in front of the office building, waiting for work arrangements.He said that after getting up in the morning and selling the river crabs, everyone will have two days off, but today we will spend the holiday together at noon.

He asked Shawanli Salix what to prepare for everyone today.Sha Wanli said that today he wants to change the way of eating, and have a roasted whole lamb.

Liu Xiaonan took people to the pond to set up ground cages, divided the crabs in the ground cages into males and females, and put them into net bags. The customer would come and transport them away later.

Meng Xiangxiang stood in front of the office building waiting for his son, daughter and Hu Liwen, and asked Sun Yuxiu to help in the kitchen.At this time, Gu Yu called and asked if she was at home or in the farm.She said that in the farm, anyone who wants to eat roasted whole sheep or fat crabs should come here quickly.

After Liu Qiyu arrived in his car, Meng Xiangxiang stayed with Qimeng and asked her to go to the pond to help, and asked Qiyu to dig more sea sausage clams.Hu Liwen loves to eat seafood, so she cooks it differently at noon and at night.

The tide in the bay was almost dry, Liu Qiyu was holding a shovel, and Hu Liwen was carrying a plastic bucket in one hand, and the two went into the sea happily.

The flat beach, shallow clear water, busy marine life, and flying and singing seagulls all brought Hu Liwen a novel and fresh feeling.The sky is vast and high, and the sea is calm and magnanimous. She, who has lived in a deep house all year round, feels like she has melted between the sea and the sky.

Hu Liwen couldn't help singing, running and jumping on the beach with the tide out, like a bird looking for food on the beach, letting go of her free and happy feelings.

Liu Qiyu followed behind her, digging out razor clams one by one, the melodious singing voice and cheerful posture stirred his heart to surge like a tide.

Hu Liwen stopped singing and turned around to see what Liu Qiyu was digging.When she saw a series of pale yellow razor clams lined up next to her footprints that looked like dancing musical notes, she was very pleasantly surprised and surprised.

She excitedly picked them up one by one and carefully put them into the plastic bucket.But Liu Qiyu straightened up, stopped moving, and looked at her with admiration and anticipation in his eyes.

Hu Liwen felt Liu Qiyu's warm gaze cast on her. She raised her head, smiled at Liu Qiyu, and returned the same warmth: "I have eaten razor clams, but I didn't know that they grew under the beach. It's so interesting. How do you Stop digging? Are you tired?"

Liu Qiyu said: "If you don't sing and dance, I can't dig razor clams."

A sunny color appeared on Hu Liwen's face: "Could it be that the marine life here also knows how to appreciate singing and dancing?"

Liu Qiyu explained.After learning about the living habits of razor clams, Hu Liwen put down the plastic bucket and started singing and dancing again.The calm beach is her own wide stage, she fell in love with this sea, she is singing and dancing for this sea and herself.

Liu Qiyu dug out half a bucket of razor clams, and Hu Liwen was also tired from dancing. They both stopped at the same time, panting slightly.Liu Qiyu filled the bucket with some seawater, covering the razor clams.The razor clam opens its shell, with soft tongue feet protruding from the back end, and two slender mouths protruding from the front end, spitting out water and sand in the body.

Hu Liwen squatted by the bucket, admiring the wriggling of the razor clams.Liu Qiyu said: "Fresh razor clams can be eaten raw, do you dare to try it?"

Hu Liwen stood up and said, "If you say you can eat it, I will dare to taste it."

Liu Qiyu picked up a razor clam, peeled off the shell to reveal the fresh razor meat inside, and handed it to Hu Liwen.Hu Liwen took the fresh razor meat, looked at Liu Qiyu hesitantly, put it in her mouth but dared not put it down.

Liu Qiyu didn't speak, picked up a razor clam by himself, peeled off the shell and ate it in one bite, it looked very delicious.

Encouraged by Liu Qiyu's gaze, Hu Liwen took a bite carefully.Tender, slightly sweet, slightly fresh, without any bad taste.She ate one razor clam, and asked Liu Qiyu for another one.

Liu Qiyu opened another razor clam for Hu Liwen, and said to her: "It's not advisable to eat too much raw food. Take it home and cook it with horseradish. It will taste better."

Hu Liwen ate the razor clams and said: "This is a delicious gift from the sea. I like this sea so much."

Liu Qiyu said: "This place is warm in winter and cool in summer. If you like it, you are welcome to come every winter and summer vacation."

Hu Liwen said: "As long as you are welcome, of course I will come."

After resting for a while, Liu Qiyu began to dig the sea intestines.There is no need for Hu Liwen to sing and dance, but she dare not get sea sausage.The sea sausage just dug out was soft and slowly wriggling, like a raw red sausage that hasn't been roasted yet.Liu Qiyu didn't force her and let her play on the beach by herself.

Hu Liwen was alone on the beach picking up conch and seaweed. In a small puddle, she saw a gray and green flower cap crab.The flower cover crab is no more than the size of the palm of your hand, with two small long round eyes, looking around vigilantly.

She was so courageous that she thought she could bully the flower cover crab and hold it in her hand for fun.She stretched out her hand, but before her fingers could touch the flower-capped crab, the flower-capped crab suddenly showed two claws, pinching the ball of her thumb, causing her to yell "ah" in pain.

Hearing Hu Liwen's scream, Liu Qiyu threw down the shovel and ran over.But I saw Hu Liwen standing there shaking her hands, a flower cap crab caught on the ball of her thumb.She couldn't shake it off even if she tried hard, the flower cap crab firmly clamped her fingers.She wanted to use the other hand to pull the flower cap crab off, but the tighter and tighter the pull, the more painful it was, and the pain made her tear up.

Liu Qiyu grabbed Hu Liwen's hand that was clamped by the flower cover crab, told her to squat down, put her hand into the sea water, and did not move.Seeing the sea water, the flower cap crab felt no other danger, let go of the crab claws and slipped away.

The ball of Hu Liwen's thumb was pierced with four small holes by the flower cover crab, and four drops of blood came out.Seeing the bleeding, she felt even more pain. She lay on Liu Qiyu's shoulder and shed tears, yelling "it hurts" all the time.

Liu Qiyu gently squeezed Hu Liwen's fingertips, squeezed out more blood, soaked it in sea water and washed it, which can be disinfected.He said with a smile, "You've lost money by bullying the flower-capped crab. It won't hurt that much, will it?"

Hu Liwen felt even more wronged, wiped her tears and said unconvinced: "It's not caught in your hand, of course you won't feel the pain."

Liu Qiyu put Hu Liwen's thumb in his mouth and sucked it gently, which could relieve some pain.He said: "When I was a child, I was also caught by a flower cover crab. I know how painful it is. My mother taught me, so it will be better?"

The pain eased, and along with the slight pain, a more wonderful feeling surged all over his body along his fingers, surging like a rising tide.

Hu Liwen's other arm couldn't help but hug Liu Qiyu's neck, put her head against his head, and said softly: "Qiyu, I like you!"

The standard-bearer standing in front of the military training team with the figure of a soldier, the pitcher running and jumping on the basketball court, the majestic figure who punched a set of strong and powerful military punches, which shocked all the girls and made all the girls scream. in her mind.

Liu Qiyu was stunned for half a second, watching her eyes closely, although it was blurry, he could feel the scorching heat wave in her eyes, scorching him wave after wave.He gently held her hand and said, "Liwen, I like you too."

Hug tightly, look at each other after loosening, as if meeting each other for the first time, after confirming, hug tightly again.The sound of the waves not far away, like their heartbeat, is rapid and magnanimous, soothing and gentle.

They tried to kiss each other a little bit, shy, strange, and sweet, and their first feelings for each other were dedicated to their loved ones.

"It's the first time I fell in love with someone. Before, I never sang and danced for someone alone."

"Me too. You are different from other little girls. Your maturity and aura attract me. My military boxing is specially performed for you. It is my capital to protect you."

"I suddenly proposed to you to come back with you to look at the sea, do you feel abrupt and unexpected?"

"No, that's exactly what I was looking forward to. At that moment, I already knew what you wanted."

"I was moved by your parents' love, and I hope to have their pure and strong love."

"I am proud of my parents and my role model."

They kissed each other again, this time blending into each other's feelings.Hu Liwen danced and sang on the beach to her heart's content. This is a stage that only belongs to her, and there is only one audience in the audience. She only shows her singing voice and dancing posture for that audience.

Because a person falls in love with a piece of sea, because a piece of sea falls in love with a person, the sound of the waves is her accompaniment, and the flying seagulls are her accompaniment.

Liu Qiyu struggled to dig out the sea intestines, and love injected fresh vitality and motivation into his youthful body.When the tide is high, he uses the shovel as a pole, with a plastic bucket on one end.Holding the handle of the shovel in one hand and Hu Liwen's hand in the other, he walked steadily, forcefully and joyfully to the coast.

"Do your fingers still hurt?"

"It still hurts, four small holes were pinched, can it not hurt? But the pain has been relieved a lot. I saw that the crab was small, so I grabbed it with my hands."

"Because the flower cover crab is small, the crab claws are sharp, and it is called ruthless when pinching people. The slightly larger Chijiahong crab claws are blunt, and it can pinch your fingers out of purple beans, but it can't pinch your fingers. Catch crabs. The trick is to catch the crab's back swing, and the movement must be fast and accurate, without hesitation, so that the crab can't catch you."

"You didn't teach me either."

"I was negligent. I didn't expect that you dared not take the harmless sea sausage, but dared to catch the flower cap crab with two claws."

When Gu Yu and Fang Shujun arrived at Longwangtang Farm, a homemade oven had already been set up in the yard and a charcoal fire was lit.A whole lamb is tied to an iron rack, brushed with a layer of seasoning, and is being manually turned and baked.Meng Xiangxiang watched Sha Wanli and Sha Liu's operations from the sidelines.

Gu Yu said to Meng Xiangxiang: "If there is something delicious, I won't call in advance to let you know."

Meng Xiangxiang said, "I thought someone would notify you."

Gu Yu said: "At this age, you've started to get excited instead, and you've lost the demeanor of a great professor."

Meng Xiangxiang smiled and said, "I always remember what you said to me. Explain to me what the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoy the shade."

Gu Yu also laughed: "It can only be understood, not expressed in words. You are a great professor, do you still need me to explain?"

Fang Shujun asked Meng Xiangxiang where Qiyu Qimeng was.Meng Xiangxiang told him that Qiyu went to catch the sea, and Qimeng was reading upstairs.He ran upstairs.

His dream is rereading "Longitude and Latitude Threads" written by his father.She didn't go to her father to help, it was just an excuse for her mother to create a chance for her brother and Hu Liwen to be alone together.

Qimeng had read his father's book before, but he was too young to fully understand the meaning.In the mother's diary, Aunt Gu Yu was mentioned many times, and only then did she realize that her father and Aunt Gu Yu had a relationship.After discussing with my brother, it was finally determined that "Longitude and Latitude" is my father's autobiographical novel.

Today I re-read "Longitude and Latitude Threads" in order to clarify the context of my father's feelings and understand why his father does not allow her to fall in love with the son of an official—that is, someone with the status of Fang Shujun.

Fang Shujun walked into the living room on the second floor of the office building and asked what book Meng was reading.Qimeng closed the pages of the book and said: "Look at the book written by my father. I suggest you read it if you have time. There will be unexpected gains."

Fang Shujun took the book, looked at it and said to Qimeng: "This is a book written by your father many years ago. I'm afraid I can't buy it now. You can lend it to me to read."

Qi Meng smiled: "I believe your mother will have a copy in her hand. You can ask your mother when you go home."

Fang Shujun suddenly realized: "Yes, my mother and your father used to be colleagues in the same unit, so of course there will be your father's book."

He didn't say anything about his dream and continued to read his own book.Fang Shujun stood in front of the window, wanting to see where Liu Qiyu was on the beach.He asked Qimeng: "Who is that person with Qiyu?"

Qimeng replied, "It's a female classmate of my brother's."

Fang Shujun said suddenly: "Come and see, they seem to be hugging each other."

Qi Meng threw down the book and ran to the window, vaguely seeing her brother and Hu Liwen hugging and kissing together.She said happily: "I guess they will fall in love."

Fang Shujun looked at Qimeng and said, "When will you give me a chance?"

Qi Meng said calmly: "You go home and read my father's "Longitude and Latitude Threads" clearly, and you will know whether there is a chance and what to do."
