Mu Zhiqiu

Chapter 67

Ziqiu, who was sleeping, heard a hurried phone call in the dimness.She subconsciously wanted to twist her body, but was pressed tightly by something. She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She slept too late last night.After returning home, Ziqiu and Lin Muchuan actually played mahjong, although it was two people, it was really two people, one person and two parties, and they played until late at night.

She opened her eyelids vigorously, and saw Lin Muchuan's body lying on her lap, and she twisted his back fiercely.

"Ah!" Lin Muchuan screamed and jumped up from the sofa.

"Answer the phone." Ziqiu said to Lin Muchuan, touching his numb and sore leg.

"Oh, call." Lin Muchuan hurriedly ran to answer it.

"Hey, Auntie."

"Oh no!"

"We'll be right there!" Lin Muchuan hurriedly hung up the phone.

"What?" Ziqiu couldn't move his legs yet.

"Uncle Xia is gone."

"Where did you go?

"Auntie doesn't know, she woke up in the morning and found that she was gone?"

"We must be back on the mountain! Let's hurry!"

"But my legs!"

"I'll carry you downstairs!"

Both of them didn't have time to wash up, and it was only when they got on the tricycle that they realized how embarrassed each other was.

"what happened?"

"Eye feces stink!" Lin Muchuan took out a little piece of paper from his pocket, and wiped it clean for Ziqiu.

"Hate!" Ziqiu said.

"Turned"

"what to do"

"Braiding!" Lin Muchuan combed Ziqiu's messy hair neatly with his hands, then gathered them together, tied them into a high ponytail, and pulled a bun.

"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!" Lin Muchuan looked at his masterpiece and smiled happily.

"Really?" Ziqiu asked suspiciously, stroking the pimple on the top of his head with his hands.

"It's so beautiful! Girl!" The aunt who drove the three-wheeler looked back and said with a smile.

"You still have this skill, don't tell me, you have tied hair for many, many girls before..." Ziqiu thought of it, and she became very jealous.

"You can guess that!" Lin Muchuan laughed.

"You bastard! Get out of the car." Ziqiu was anxious.

"Okay! Don't be angry, but I like to see you angry most!"

"cut!"

"At home, my niece likes me to braid her hair."

"You have a niece, by the way, I seldom hear you talk about you. I almost forgot, go back and write a resume!" Ziqiu said.

"And what about brothers and sisters?"

"So many brothers and sisters, very happy!"

"Well, are you envious or jealous now!"

"It's here." Aunt Tricycle said.

"Hold the money! Thank you." Lin Muchuan handed her the money.

"Boss! Thank you!" Ziqiu got out of the car and saw his anxious mother waiting for them at the hospital gate.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll take you there?" Lin Muchuan comforted.

"Mom, the mountain road is relatively long, you can't bear it."

"It's okay! I'm only 52 years old! Let's go!"

Lin Muchuan helped Zhou Manyue to walk in front, and Ziqiu followed closely behind with his sore legs.When the three of them reached the top of the mountain, a breeze blew by, and a sea of ​​colorful flowers was rippling with the wind.

"It's so beautiful, like a fairyland!" Zhou Manyue looked at the sea of ​​flowers in shock.

"Mom, there's that antique wooden building like a castle!" Ziqiu said with a little pride.

"It's so beautiful! Where is this place and who made it?"

"Auntie, let me tell you a story about this garden and the castle."

"Talk while you walk!"

"Ten years ago, there was a man who handed over the management of the thriving furniture company in his hometown to his family and came to this ancient town alone. He wanted to meet his lover who had been separated for more than 20 years, but he didn't want to disturb her peaceful life, so he chose to live in the ancient town. On the mountain behind him, he built a beautiful garden for his beloved woman, and a castle for his lovely daughter."

"Then why is he unwilling to face it?"

"Because his left leg is gone, he was injured when he went to the mine with his friends in order to be more beautiful when he married her. He thought he couldn't give her a stable life, and hoped that she could find someone better than him, so he He chose to escape. Later, he learned wood crafting for decades, opened a company, made money, and was still alone."

"He often dreamed at night that she was crying and calling his name. He couldn't let it go, so he chose to come back to accompany her."

"What a fool!" Manyue knew that Lin Muchuan was talking about him and her.

"Uncle Xia loves you very much!"

"I know, I love him too!"

Lin Muchuan pulled Ziqiu, ran to the closed wooden door, and knocked on it.

"Uncle Xia, open the door! I told Auntie everything, she has always loved you!"

"I know you are afraid of dragging her down, and what about me and Ziqiu? Don't worry about anything!"

"Chengxian, open the door! I know you are inside." Manyue said excitedly.

"Before I died, I just wanted to see each other again, so let the child come to you!"

"If, you choose not to see, I will hate you!"

"Father." Ziqiu yelled, kneeling on the ground.She didn't want to see her mother so sad, so she blurted out anxiously.

Cheng Xian's heart softened, he pushed open the door and walked out tremblingly, his gray hair turned white overnight.

"Chengxian!" Manyue ran over to hug him.

He hugged her tightly, dropped his crutches, and stood still with difficulty.

"And me? I'll be your right leg!" Manyue cried.

"Manyue, I'm sorry! I don't deserve your kindness to me!" He cried.

"There's nothing I'm sorry about, there's nothing worth it, it's just that I am willing!" Manyue also cried.

Ziqiu cried with emotion, and Lin Muchuan poured her into his arms.He didn't speak, he looked at the two old people quietly, how wonderful it would be if he and Ziqiu could grow old together!

The wind blows, and the fragrance of flowers fills the house.The pines and cypresses all over the mountain swayed with the wind, and the distant mountains were hazy with mist.

"It's windy, let's go into the house!" Chengxian said, holding Manyue's hand.

"Slow down." Manyue carefully supported him.

"Auntie, I'm coming!" Lin Muchuan ran forward and helped them into the house together.

Ziqiu walked into this wooden house curiously, and slowly participated in it. This is her favorite style, and it is her dream that she once dreamed of.

"You are really capable to make such an exquisite house." Man Yue looked at the layout of the room and said approvingly.

"Two floors with attics, a total of 10 rooms. 6 rooms on the first floor, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a study, and two bedrooms. 4 rooms on the second floor, a study, a bathroom, two Bedrooms. There are 2 more rooms in the attic, which can be used as storage rooms.

"It's all antique wooden buildings. I read a lot of books on wooden structures and studied them for a long time before I started to build them slowly. At the beginning, I also hired a lot of carpenters, some of whom were designers I brought over from the company in the north. , It took 8 years on and off.”

"Once upon a time, you said that you like a quiet life and the wooden houses in the quaint old town, so I want to build you a house that you can be satisfied with in my lifetime."

"I saw that children like to grow flowers and planted many flowers on the balcony. So I designed a circular garden around the house, surrounding the wooden house, so that flowers can be seen in every room."

"Thank you!" Manyue said excitedly, pulling his hand.

"Thank you!" Ziqiu choked up and said.She is not used to calling her daddy yet.

"I'm going to cook." After finishing speaking, Ziqiu gestured to Lin Muchuan, signaling him to leave quickly, not to disturb such a good atmosphere.But I'm really hungry, not to mention I haven't had time to eat breakfast yet.

"I'll go too!" Lin Muchuan looked at Ziqiu and said hastily.

The two of them looked at the kitchen, it was clean and spacious, with complete utensils, but unfortunately there was nothing to eat.There are only noodles, eggs, a few green vegetables that seem to have just been picked from the ground, and a few chives.

"Let's make egg noodles!" Ziqiu said, picking up the vegetables and shallots and preparing to wash them.

"Let me do it, you boil the water!" Lin Muchuan took the vegetables and shallots in her hand.

"Distress me!"

"Ok!"

"Ghosts believe it!"

"You will become a ghost!"

"Then I'll scare you!"

"I'm not afraid! Just scare me every day!"

"Beautiful thinking, ghosts are not so boring!"

"why?"

"Don't tell you!"

"I don't want to hear it yet."

Together with their mouths, the two brought four bowls of fragrant noodles to the table in the living room.

"It's time to eat!" Ziqiu said happily.

"Let's eat!" Man Yue said.

"Yeah!" Chengxian stood up, and Manyue supported him, walked to the table and sat down.

"It smells so good! Ziqiu is really capable!" Cheng Xian looked at the two children and smiled gratifiedly.The life he dreamed of finally came, even after so many years of waiting.

After dinner, several people visited the upstairs and downstairs rooms together.

"It would be great if the road on the mountainside behind the ancient town could be extended up. It would be much more convenient to go shopping like this." Standing on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the road extending to the distance on the mountainside, Manyue said with emotion .

"Let me figure out a way!" Lin Muchuan said after thinking for a while.

"It's been fixed." Chengxian said.

"Really. I didn't see it when I went up the mountain."

"Follow me." Xia Chengxian said.

"Look, there in the backyard."

"Really, really thoughtful."

"Go home with me and have a look." Manyue said.

"Okay. I finally found a home." Chengxian looked into the distance and said with emotion.
