Chapter 23 Marriage
From his own perspective, Zhou Fan was not as angry as Gui Feng when he heard that he had been dismissed from the engagement. Instead, he was a little happy because the invisible trouble was eliminated.
However, when he thought that this was an embarrassing thing for his parents, the little joy in his heart disappeared.
Seeing Zhou Fan frowning and saying nothing, Gui Feng thought Zhou Fan was sad. She calmed down and comforted her: "Afan, don't be sad. When your patrol team's work is settled, I will look for a good girl for you."
Zhou Fan smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not sad. I can't remember the past in my head. I don't remember the daughter of the Da Liu family anymore. It's better to retreat."
Gui Feng was stunned for a moment and whispered to herself, "It's a good thing not to remember, so as not to be alive. Xiao Liu actually thinks it's pretty good..."
What? Zhou Fan felt a little funny when he heard this. Did his predecessor like that little girl Liu very much?
Zhou Yimu advised again: "Da Liu is here tomorrow. We should be more generous. Da Liu is a man who is righteous and he is going to break the engagement. I think it's not good. We should not make things difficult for him, so we should not hurt the relationship between the two families."
Gui Feng replied coldly: "He doesn't feel good, are we feeling good? But I'm not so stingy that I want to argue with them. If you want to retreat, you shouldn't agree to him at the beginning."
"Mom, why don't you wait until I finish my hair to get engaged?" Zhou Fan asked with some surprise.
Logically speaking, if there is a hair tie in this world, it is a matter of life span. If the life span of both parties is not equal and the difference is too outrageous, then the marriage will definitely not be done. Just like Zhou Fan lives by nineteen years, but Xiao Liu, who is one year older than him, is over seventy years old. It is impossible for the other party to stay a widow for fifty or sixty years, right?
If you wait until you finish your hair is finished, then this embarrassing thing will not be there.
In fact, as Zhou Fan thought, engagement is mostly after the hair is tied.
"Afan, I have to blame me." Zhou Yimu's face was embarrassed. "Da Liu and I are good brothers. When I was young, I went out to other villages to change their goods. I encountered a strange man. At the critical moment, I sacrificed my life to save him. This was not a big deal."
"But after I came back, Daliu saw that you and Xiaoliu were having a good time when you were a child, so she proposed to marry Xiaoliu and said that she would marry Xiaoliu to the Zhou family and get married. I agreed..."
Zhou Fan was speechless for a while when he heard this, it turned out that it was because of this. However, in ancient times, even a child was a promise, and it was not for a play, otherwise Daliu would not have come here to break the engagement specifically.
There is nothing to discuss about this kind of thing, so I can only wait for the other party to come.
After dinner, Zhou Fan was about to go to the courtyard to continue practicing "Twelve Tiger Styles". He told Zhou Yimu that he would not go to Lukui tonight.
Zhou Yimu did not object and asked Zhou Fan to make his own decisions.
When Zhou Fan went out, the old dog, who was originally burying his head in the old bowl, raised his head with a quick ear and followed Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan looked back at such an ugly old dog. He didn't know what the old dog did with him?
The old dog did not wag its tail like an ordinary puppy, but just looked at Zhou Fan.
"Now you are its owner, let it follow." Zhou Yimu took the hookah and took a sip of cigarettes and looked at Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan nodded, and pointed to the old bowl in the corner and said to the old dog, "You go eat first, I'll wait for you."
The old dog seemed to be able to understand people's words, and it turned around and ran back to continue eating.
Zhou Fan was a little surprised. This old dog who had lived for twenty years was indeed not simple.
"Dad, what is the name of this dog?" Zhou Fan asked.
"Old Wang usually calls it a man." Zhou Yimu thought for a while and said, "Actually, you are its owner now, and you can call it whatever you like."
Man?
What a strange name, but Zhou Fan doesn't plan to change the name for this old dog. After all, he has been calling it for so many years, so there is no need to change it.
"Actually, if Mr. Wang hadn't happened to be short of money to cultivate a new batch of forest rangers, even if Carpenter Zhang came forward, he would have been reluctant to let him go. When he saw the man off, he was a big man still shed tears." Zhou Yimu sighed and said.
Zhou Fan was silent. He remembered that when he was in the police force, when the police dogs retired, the police who regarded the police dogs as their companions were also very reluctant. However, no matter how reluctant he was, he was probably not as deep as the relationship between Lao Wang and his brother. After all, this was a twenty-year relationship.
"Afan, be nicer to it, and the dog also has feelings for it." Zhou Yimu reminded.
Zhou Fan nodded and agreed, and said that the dog would be related to his life safety, so of course he should be better for it.
The old dog finished eating quickly, Zhou Fan turned around and went out, and the old dog followed him automatically.
Zhou Yinmu sat in the hall, smoking a hookah silently. Gui Feng quickly finished her work, sat down on the chair next to him, and asked, "What are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about Daliu?"
Zhou Yimu shook his head and said, "It's all decided, what's the point of thinking about this? I'm thinking about you at the dinner table tonight and you want to find a new girl for Fan'er."
Gui Feng smiled bitterly and said, "I just said it casually and comforted Afan. This matter is not so easy. As the saying goes, short-lived seeds marry short-lived seeds, long-lived seeds marry long-lived seeds. For example, short-lived seeds with four years left, it is too difficult to find a suitable girl."
Zhou Yimu frowned and finally said: "I'm not trying to continue the bloodline of the Zhou family. The poor family doesn't have so many rules. If it breaks, it will be broken. I just think Fan'er can't live for only four years. His vitality is so tenacious. Marrying him a wife can also give him a reason to live stronger."
"I understand everything you said, but where can I find such a family?" Gui Feng shook his head and said.
"There will always be some. If there is no Sanqiu Village, I will look for other villages and find the right one." Zhou Yimu's eyebrows were stretched and his eyes were determined by determination.
Of course Zhou Fan didn't know that Zhou Yimu was thinking about finding a new wife for him. If he knew about it, he would definitely be amused and crying.
Zhou Fan was practicing the four awakening stances, and the man was lying lazily beside him.
The black lacquer sky was just decorated with stars, and the stars were dim and the surroundings were so dark that they could not see their five fingers.
Zhou Fan was so healthy that he didn't have to worry about the ghosts staring at him again, but practiced seriously.
The man was very quiet and did not disturb Zhou Fan's cultivation. Zhou Fan suspected that the man had gone to play several times, but when he turned his head to look at the man's seat, he could always see a black shadow lying on his face.
For some reason, with the guy watching from the side, Zhou Fan really felt much more at ease.
After being exhausted from the training, Zhou Fan stopped. Most of the vital energy in his body was digested by his repeated practice. In this way, he could continue to incorporate vital energy into the vital energy practice tomorrow morning.
