Fourth 13 chapters 第四13章 Running into a wall 碰壁 Liu Kai spoke thoughtlessly to ask the sentence: „What matter is?” 刘凯随口问了句:“是什么事情？” Zhang Cai smiles: „A while I said to Mister Liu.” 张才笑笑说:“一会儿我还是跟刘先生说吧。” Liu Kai also with a smile selects nods, then asked Zhang Cai the matter about Liu Qian, Zhang Cai also one by one answered, Zhang Xiaohua in side also Liu Elder Brother was calling, said many Liu Qian words of praise, hearing Liu Kai to be all smiles. 刘凯也笑着点点头,又接着问了张才一些关于刘倩的事情,张才也一一作答,张小花在旁边也一口一个刘哥哥的叫着,说了很多刘倩的好话,听得刘凯笑容满面。 Liu Kai accompanied Zhang Cai to sit a while, had a look at the double-hour not early, said to Zhang Cai: „Uncle again sits the little while with Xiaohua here, my father has not known when can finish up, I must go to uncle there to greet, at noon good that goes to his there to eat meal.” 刘凯陪着张才坐了一会儿,看看时辰不早了,就对张才说:“大叔跟小花在这里再坐会儿,我爹爹还不知道什么时候能完事呢,我得去叔叔那里打个招呼,中午还是去他那里吃饭的好。” Zhang Cai beckoned with the hand saying: „Virtuous Nephew does not need to be polite, eats casually on the line.” 张才摆摆手说:“贤侄不必客气,随便吃点就行。” Liu Kai set out saying: „That is not good, uncle comes one with great difficulty, we must completely the friendship of landlord, I still remember that Xiaohua likes eating the red-roasted pork, at noon today makes certainly you eat all the way.” 刘凯起身说:“那可不行,大叔好容易来一趟的,我们一定得尽地主之谊,我还记得小花爱吃红烧肉的,今天中午一定让你吃个够。” Zhang Xiaohua sticks out one's tongue, said: „That, thanks Liu Elder Brother.” 张小花吐吐舌头,说:“那,谢谢刘哥哥啦。” Liu Kai said: „The little rascal of your this sweet mouth.” Then, went out on the half step. Only leaves behind Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohua they are waiting in the room. 刘凯笑着说:“你这个甜嘴的小鬼。”说完,就快步出门去了。只留下张才和张小花两人在屋里等着。 They drink tea while waited, also waited for one, Mister Liu has not come out as before. 两人一边喝茶一边等待,又等了一阵,刘先生依旧没有出来。 At this time, transmitted a resounding 's sound sound from out of the door: „Brother open/stretch, you are come finally.” 这时,从门外传来一个响亮的声音:“张老哥,你总算是来啦。” Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohua two people have smiled, this definitely was Liu Tufu. 张才和张小花两人都笑了,这肯定是刘屠夫了。 Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohua hurry to stand up, just got to the entrance, the front surface bumps into Liu Tufu who „tread tread tread” walked vigorously. Liu Tufu holds on the hand of Zhang Cai intimately, said: „Brother open/stretch, several days does not see you, but also really thinks you, your leg was all right, un, looked at this appearance, certainly was quite agile.” 张才和张小花赶紧站起身,刚走到门口,迎面就碰上了“蹬蹬蹬”健步走过来的刘屠夫。刘屠夫亲热的拉住张才的手,说:“张老哥啊,几天不见你,还真是想你啊,你的腿没事了吧,嗯,看这个样子,一定是好利索了。” Zhang Cai also said: „Yes, thanks to brother, the injury was good, look in the morning arrived here from Guo Village, the leg has not thought too pain.” 张才也笑着说:“是啊,托老弟的福,伤势已经好了,这不,上午从郭庄走到这里,腿也没觉得太疼。” Liu Tufu said: „Good and virtuous person has the day, Brother open/stretch is a solid person, certainly will have the good report, was right, your two son's injury how?” 刘屠夫说:“吉人自有天相啊,张老哥是个实在人,一定会有好报的,对了,你那两个儿子的伤势如何了？” Zhang Cai said: „The Xiaohu injury entire was good, Xiaolong│Little Dragon was almost also quick.” 张才说:“小虎的伤势已经全好了,小龙也差不多快了吧。” Liu Tufu said: „That is indeed good, immediately must plow in the spring, then in the family/home did not need to be worried. Walks, we enter the room to speak.” 刘屠夫说:“那敢情好啊,马上就要春耕了,这下家里不用担心了。走,咱们进屋说话。” The people then enter the room to take a seat, just sat well, Liu Tufu has not drunk water with enough time, Mister Liu also entered the room, Zhang Cai hurried to set out with Zhang Xiaohua once more, goes forward to salute upon meeting, Mister Liu also returned a courtesy, asking them to sit down. Mister Liu was sorry that said: „Brother open/stretch came quite a while, I was drawing a picture, has not greeted is disrespectful very much.” 众人这才进屋重新落座,刚刚坐定,刘屠夫还没有来得及喝口水,刘先生也进屋了,张才跟张小花赶紧再次起身,上前见礼,刘先生也回礼,请他们坐下。刘先生抱歉的说:“张老哥来半天了吧,我正在画一幅画,没有迎接很是失礼啊。” Zhang Cai hurried saying: „Does not have relation(s), what the brother is busy is the proper business, we are waiting in the room and that's the end, moreover does not have Liu Kai, he accompanies us to speak, just now gets out of the way. Brother painted pictures?” 张才赶紧说:“没关系的,老弟忙的是正事,我们在屋里等着就是了,况且不是还有刘凯嘛,他陪着我们说话呢,才刚走开的。老弟的画画好了？” Mister Liu looked at Liu Tufu one eyes, said: „Also almost, to the big voice of this guy interrupting the mentality, continued in the afternoon again.” 刘先生看了刘屠夫一眼,说:“还差一点,给这厮的大嗓门给打断了思路,下午再继续吧。” Liu Tufu said innocently: „I do not know that you are painting. My Inborn is this big voice. I awaken you, you must dry in the sun Brother open/stretch here.” 刘屠夫无辜的说:“我也不知道你在作画啊。况且我天生就是这副大嗓门。要不是我叫醒你,你还得把张老哥晾在这里呢。” Mister Liu said: „You are always rational, did not say you.” 刘先生说:“你总是有理,不说你了。” Then he said to Zhang Cai: „I have this problem, writes or paints, will forget that matter, year to year so, changes unable to change. Come, please drink tea.” 然后他对张才说:“我也有这个毛病,写字或者作画,就会忘记身边的事情,常年如此,改也改不掉的。来,请喝茶。” Then, oneself also carried teacup to drink one, then said regrettably: „This tea compared with open/stretch your missing many, really fondly remembers the tea of previous drinking very much.” 说完,自己也端起茶杯喝了一口,然后遗憾地说:“这茶水比张老哥家的差了不少,很真是怀念上次喝的茶水啊。” Zhang Cai said: „Brother Liu goes to Guo Village, or moved to live, can Tiantian│every day drink.” 张才笑着说:“那刘老弟就多去郭庄吧,要不就搬过去住得了,可以天天喝。” Mister Liu smiles: „A lot, were saying is easy to do difficultly.” 刘先生笑笑说:“很多事情,说着容易做着难啊。” Several people sit said the idle talk of a while, each other asks the situation, Mister Liu then asks: „Brother open/stretch, this time comes Bali Ravine, what matter has?” 几个人坐着说了一会儿的闲话,彼此问了问情况,刘先生这才问到:“张老哥,这次来八里沟,是有什么事情吗？” Zhang Cai said: „Brother Liu, this time I come, really has a very important matter to with you discuss.” 张才说:“刘老弟,这次我来,确实有件很重要的事情要跟你商量一下。” Mister Liu selected nods saying: „Brother you mentioned listens.” 刘先生点点头说:“老哥你说来听听。” Zhang Cai then said: „Qianqian stayed such long Time in our family/home, the people of our family/home like her . Moreover, my eldest son Zhang Xiaolong each other is perfectly suited to each other with her, my this time comes to want with you to discuss, whether we can form the doubly-related parents-in-law.” 张才接着说:“倩倩在我们家呆了这么长的时间,我们家的人都很喜欢她,而且,我的大儿子张小龙跟她彼此情投意合,我这次来就是想跟你商量一下,咱们能否结成儿女亲家。” Zhang Cai said, the eye is staring at Mister Liu, hopes that sees the smiling face from his face or is joyful. 张才说完,眼睛盯着刘先生,希望从他脸上看出笑脸或者是喜悦。 However, he has not seen the anticipation the facial expression, instead, Mister Liu obvious stares, then frowns tightly, as if, as if, has the meaning of rejection. Nearby Liu Tufu, always straight talk from a straightforward person, this time does not interrupt but actually, the look saw Mister Liu from Zhang Cai, saw Zhang Cai from Mister Liu again, was a little thought-provoking. Coming a while, Mister Liu has opened the mouth, he said: „Brother open/stretch, you is a refreshed person, I also on coming straight to the point told you, what words we have saying that does not try to cover up, do you look at the line?” 但是,他没有看到期待的神情,反而,刘先生明显的一愣,然后紧皱眉头,似乎,似乎,有拒绝的意思。旁边的刘屠夫,一向都快人快语的,这次倒不插嘴了,眼神从张才看到刘先生,再从刘先生看到张才,有点耐人寻味。过来一会儿,刘先生开口了,他说:“张老哥,你是个爽快人,我也就开门见山的跟你说,咱们有什么话都说出来,不藏藏掖掖的,你看行吗？” Zhang Cai naturally is the agreement. 张才自然是同意。 Mister Liu also then said: „Before Qianqian her mother passed away, the only wish is makes me look for a good husband's family's home to Qianqian, these years, are not infrequent, but I who coming to our home to discuss marriage had not agreed, one is Qianqian is not satisfactory, two are I thought that they cannot bring the happiness to Qianqian. Moreover, I know that Qianqian likes studying since childhood, her wish continuously looks for my dear of having great learning, I know that Xiaolong│Little Dragon is a good child, the moral aspect I felt relieved very much, but he is not literate probably, after this, with Qianqian in together, feared is the interest not in the same place. Furthermore, Qianqian has not done the farm work since childhood, family's matter, needlework naturally does not have the issue, but, lives with Xiaolong│Little Dragon, this farm work she, but is incorrect. Also, Qianqian knows also one month with Xiaolong│Little Dragon, how such quick being perfectly suited to each other? Perhaps Qianqian has the favorable impression to Xiaolong│Little Dragon, this is also normal, after all Xiaolong│Little Dragon had rescued Qianqian, if on this favorable impression, Qianqian must marry, that also rather too child's play.” 刘先生又接着说:“倩倩她娘亲去世前,唯一的心愿就是让我给倩倩找一个好的婆家,这些年,来我们家提亲的也不在少数,但是我都没同意,一则是倩倩不满意,二则是我觉得他们不能给倩倩带来幸福。另外,我知道倩倩从小就喜欢读书,她一直的心愿都是找一个学识渊博的郎君,我知道小龙是个好孩子,品性方面我很放心,可他好像不怎么识字的吧,这以后跟倩倩在一块儿,怕是兴趣不在一起呀。再者,倩倩从小就没有干过农活,家里的事情,女红方面自然是没问题的,可是以后跟小龙过日子,这农活方面她可是不行的呀。还有,倩倩跟小龙认识也就一个来月吧,怎么会这么快的情投意合呢？倩倩也许对小龙有好感,这也正常,毕竟小龙曾经救过倩倩的,倘若就这点好感,倩倩就要嫁过去,那也未免太儿戏了吧。” Zhang Cai listened to these words, the facial expression on face is a little also coy, he thinks, according to before the experience that Mister Liu dealt with, felt that he was the person who was good to speak, moreover looked that he to the appearance that Xiaolong│Little Dragon appreciated very much, since Liu Qian complied, thinks that his here will not have any issue, but Zhang Cai has thought mistakenly, others appreciation also merely were restricted in one to the rural farming person warm-blooded appreciation, did not come to see with the father-in-law vision. Moreover, Zhang Xiaolong lived with Liu Qian in the different world, although in rural area, but studies, works at farming, truly does not have a common language, the later life will have the barrier unavoidably, all, let taking a wife Zhang Cai, is very natural, Mister Liu that or the daughter marries must very careful consideration. 张才听了这些话,脸上的神情也有点扭捏,他本以为,根据以前跟刘先生打交道的经验,感觉他是个很好说话的人,而且看他对小龙很欣赏的样子,既然刘倩都答应了,想必他这里不会有什么问题,可是张才想错了,人家的欣赏也就是仅仅限于一个对农村种田人热血的欣赏,并不是用老丈人眼光来看的。而且,张小龙跟刘倩本就生活在不同的世界里,虽然都是在农村,但一个读书,一个务农,确实是没有一个共同的语言,以后的生活难免会有隔阂,一切的一切,让娶媳妇的张才来看,很自然,而要不女儿嫁出去的刘先生就要很仔细的考虑啦。 Zhang Xiaohua heard to be also shocked, he has not thought similarly looked like very kind Mister Liu has rejected unexpectedly, but, he does not know good how saying that can only see the father, hoping the father can convince Mister Liu. 张小花听得也是愣住了,他同样没有想到看起来很和蔼的刘先生竟然拒绝了,不过,他也不知道怎么说的好,只能看着爹爹,希望爹爹能说服刘先生。 Zhang Cai said: „Mister Liu has considered thoroughly, the matter of marriage, first is two sentiments likes each other, since Xiaolong│Little Dragon wants with Qianqian, that can definitely very good living, the brother say not common topic, I think, also makes Qianqian teach Xiaolong│Little Dragon to study, slowly didn't train? The farm work, Qianqian will not have handled the matter in field, we naturally will not make her do, our family/home has four strong labor forces, definitely will not put in great inconvenience under Qianqian to work.” 张才说:“刘先生多虑了,婚姻的事情,首先是两情相悦,既然小龙跟倩倩都愿意,那肯定能很好的过日子,老弟说的没有共同的话题,我想以后也让倩倩多教小龙读书,慢慢的不就培养出来了？还有农活,倩倩不会做田里的事情,我们自然是不会让她做的,我们家有四个壮劳力,肯定不会委屈倩倩下地干活的。” Mister Liu sighed: „I did not say a moment ago, something, were saying is easy to do difficultly. Moreover, Liu Kai has not been engaged to marry, Liu Qian makes Younger Sister first is engaged, is not quite good.” 刘先生叹了口气说:“刚才我不是还说,有些事情,说着容易做着难啊。另外,刘凯还没有定亲结婚,刘倩做妹妹的就先定亲,不太好吧。” Zhang Cai had also forgotten this, yes, the after custom of School of Agriculture person is Elder Brother, first Younger Sister, this makes the Elder Brother wedding not to decide, makes Younger Sister naturally does not have the qualifications consideration, Zhang Cai was a little also speechless. 张才也忘记了这点,是啊,农家人的习惯都是先哥哥后妹妹的,这做哥哥的婚事都没有定下来,做妹妹的自然就没资格考虑的,张才也有点无话可说了。 At this time, Liu Kai came back, he has not noted the awkward atmosphere in room, said to Mister Liu and Liu Tufu: „Father, the Second Uncle, that side meal prepared readily, asking Uncle open/stretch to eat meal with Xiaohua in the past.” 这时,刘凯回来了,他没注意到屋里的尴尬气氛,对刘先生和刘屠夫说:“爹,二叔,那边的饭菜都准备停当了,请张大叔跟小花过去吃饭吧。” Mister Liu looks at Zhang Cai, said: „Brother open/stretch, walks, this puts beforehand, your I considered again, first eats meal.” 刘先生看着张才,笑着说:“张老哥,走吧,这事先放放,你我都再考虑考虑,先去吃饭吧。” Liu Tufu also held the hand of Zhang Xiaohua saying: „Walks, did not say matter, ate meal importantly, does Xiaohua want to eat the red-roasted pork?” 刘屠夫也拉了张小花的手说:“走吧,不说事儿了,吃饭最重要,小花是不是想吃红烧肉了？” The food and drink nature of Liu Tufu family/home compared with the sumptuousness of Zhang Cai, but the Zhang Cai good appetite, facing Mister Liu with the Liu Tufu hospitable reception, he has not eaten too, only then Zhang Xiaohua eats most, one is he long body, the appetite originally good, two, in his opinion the Big Brother is a match with the Qianqian sister, two people live together is very definitely happy, he believes that this wedding can certainly become, therefore regarding a moment ago the rejection of Mister Liu, he also on was the depression of a while, Present had already abandoned, father's concern like that regarding the food of full table, he naturally has not been. Let loose the cheek to tuck away. Visits him to be popular, Liu Tufu spouse also smiles to blossom with Liu Yueyue, delicious puts in his bowl, makes him eat. 刘屠夫家的酒饭自然比张才家的丰盛,但张才没有太好的胃口,面对刘先生跟刘屠夫的殷勤招待,他也没吃太多,只有张小花吃的最多,一则是他正长身体,胃口本来就好,二呢,在他看来大哥跟倩倩姐很般配的,两人生活在一起肯定很幸福,他坚信这门婚事一定能成,所以对于刚才刘先生的拒绝,他也就是一会儿的郁闷,现在早就抛开了,没有爹爹那般的心事,对于满桌的饭食,他当然是。放开了腮帮子大嚼。看他吃得香,刘屠夫的老伴跟刘月月也都笑开了花,不停的把好吃的放到他的碗里,一个劲儿的让他多吃。 Although Zhang Cai does not have the appetite, but looked the son eats was very happy, oneself also slightly happy, nearby Mister Liu often spoke some idle talks to him, Liu Tufu also repeatedly raises glass with him, Liu Kai had asked the father a moment ago in secret, knows that the Zhang Cai not happy reason, has therefore not spoken on the dining table, but eat meal. 张才虽然没有胃口,但看儿子吃的很高兴,自己也略微的开心点,旁边的刘先生不时跟他说些闲话,刘屠夫也跟他频频举杯,刘凯刚才私下里已经问过爹爹了,知道张才不高兴的缘由,所以在饭桌上也就没怎么说话,只是自己吃饭。 This food finished eating quickly, the people take a short break in Liu Tufu family/home, Zhang Cai brings Zhang Xiaohua to say goodbye with the people, Mister Liu wants to keep them to sit the little while to the family/home in again, but has a look at the weather already not early, on this road must walk for a long time, again has not detained, the group two people deliver to the village Zhang Cai, this turns around. 这顿饭很快就吃完了,众人在刘屠夫家稍事休息,张才就带着张小花跟众人告别,刘先生是想再留他们到家里坐会儿,但看看天色已经不早,这路上还得走好久,也就没再强留,一行人把张才两人送到村口,这才转身回来。 At this time Liu Tufu family's people also know the goal that Zhang Family came, Liu Yueyue said to Mister Liu: „Uncle, Uncle open/stretch said right, my sister she liked Zhang Xiaolong, previous time I went to time, she also mentioned.” 这时刘屠夫家里的人也都知道张家来的目的了,刘月月对刘先生说:“大伯,张大叔说的没错,我姐她是真的喜欢张小龙了,上次我去的时候,她还说起呢。” Mister Liu sighed: „Female does not remain greatly, is the matter of this living, light does not depend on the sentiment to solve.” 刘先生叹口气说:“女大不中留啊,可是这个过日子的事情,可不是光靠感情就能解决的呀。”
