Chapter 248 Qi Sihui's Visit
Liu Guangfu ran into the house at lightning speed. His small face, which was originally not big, was now as red as a ripe apple, and the blue veins on his neck were slightly bulging because he was too excited.
He opened his throat and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mom, come out quickly! My brother is home with his girlfriend!"
The sound was simply deafening, like the ringing of a huge bell, or like thunder breaking through the sky, so loud and clear that it reached the sky.
The sound circled and echoed leisurely in the sky above the courtyard for a long time. Even the birds that were leisurely and dozing lazily under the eaves were frightened by the sudden shout. They flapped their wings in panic and flew around in all directions. For a moment, the whole yard was filled with the sound of birds calling one after another, and it was very lively.
At this time, the second aunt was alone in the house, concentrating on sorting out the miscellaneous items.
She bent her waist slightly, and her hands were like extremely nimble shuttles, fiddling with the old clothes very skillfully and deftly.
I saw her first carefully smoothing out the wrinkles on the clothes, and then folding them neatly into small square pieces, which looked very regular.
While packing the clothes, Second Aunt was secretly thinking about how to put them properly away in the depths of the cabinet and seal them up properly.
However, at this moment, Liu Guangfu's sudden shout, like a thunderclap, was like a flash of lightning that broke through the sky and suddenly exploded in the ears of the second aunt. Unprepared, the second aunt shuddered all over and almost dropped a piece of clothing she had just folded on the ground.
The second aunt stood there in a daze. The old cotton-padded jacket that she was folding in her hands seemed to have its bones and muscles suddenly pulled out, and almost slipped from her hands and fell to the ground.
An expression of astonishment and confusion instantly appeared on her face, her brows were tightly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, as if her heart was tangled in a mess. She hurried out in a hurry, muttering to herself, "This brat, he is usually as tight-lipped as a mute, and he keeps everything secret. He never mentioned it to me. A partner? When did he quietly find a partner?"
When he walked to the door, he saw Qi Sihui, the graceful and gentle woman standing next to Liu Guangqi. He was stunned at first as if he was cast under a spell. His eyes widened with surprise as if he saw a visitor from outer space. His steps paused unconsciously, as if time had stopped at this moment.
But in a flash, just like ice and snow meeting the warm sun, it melted away without a trace, and a smile more brilliant and dazzling than the spring flowers instantly bloomed on her face.
When Liu Guangqi saw his mother suddenly appear, he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by a huge invisible hand. In an instant, his heart was pulled up to his throat, as if it was about to jump out of his throat in the next second.
The extreme tension made his throat dry and even swallowing saliva became extremely difficult.
At the same time, fine beads of sweat began to ooze out of the palms of his hands, making his originally dry palms suddenly become wet.
Liu Guangqi took a big step forward in panic, but because he moved too hastily and eagerly, his steps seemed a little unsteady.
However, despite this, he still tried to keep himself calm and introduced them to both parties in a slightly nervous but solemn tone: "Mom, this is my girlfriend, Qi Sihui. Xiaohui, this is my mother."
His eyes moved anxiously between his mother and Qi Sihui, his eyes revealing shyness, uneasiness and anticipation for what might happen next.
Looking at Qi Sihui, her originally fair face like jade was now flushed with a gorgeous flame.
That hint of shyness was like the softest and gentlest breeze in spring, blowing gently, with a hint of subtle charm, spreading silently between her eyebrows.
In this way, not only did it not destroy her original beauty, but it made her even more charming and lovable.
She bowed slightly, her figure light and graceful, just like a lily swaying in the wind, showing her elegance and dignity, and her voice was as soft as the spring breeze blowing through the willow branches and gently whispering on the lake: "Auntie, hello, I have been thinking about visiting you for a long time, and today I finally got my wish and saw you."
The voice is soft, sweet and revealing an innate cleverness, just like the clear, gurgling sound of a spring flowing in the mountains. When people hear it, their hearts seem to be gently caressed by the warm spring sun, and moistened by the fine rain, full of joy and happiness.
When the second aunt heard this, the smile on her face became as bright as the flowers blooming in spring, becoming increasingly intense. Her eyes instantly narrowed into tiny slits, revealing an incomparable kindness, just like the kindest and most loving elder next door.
She couldn't wait to stretch out her hands. Although her hands were rough from the hardships of life, they were full of enthusiasm and warmth. She quickly took Qi Sihui's hand and patted it gently, saying, "Oh, my girl, don't be so reserved. I'm very happy that you can come home. You must be tired on the way. Come in and have a rest. Don't stand and get tired."
As he spoke, he stepped aside to make way for Qi Sihui, his eyes constantly examining her from head to toe, carefully, not missing any detail. His gaze was full of scrutiny and fondness, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he felt.
Although this girl was not the kind of girl who was so bright and beautiful that would make people's heart stop beating at first sight, she exuded a gentle and well-behaved temperament, just like a spring that gurgles under the warm spring sun and moistens everything. It flowed silently into the second aunt's heart, and was exactly what she wanted.
After entering the house, the second aunt instantly turned into a busy and energetic spinning top, spinning briskly in the slightly cramped house.
She first hurriedly and skillfully made tea, muttering to herself, "My daughter, try the tea that auntie made. This was brought back from far away by my father with great effort. I usually keep it like a treasure and would never take it out for a taste."
As he spoke, he deftly opened the cupboard, and among the layers of cluttered objects, he found the exquisite teapot, carefully opened the lid, pinched out a pinch of tea foam, and put it into the teapot.
Then, she turned around again, looking at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu with eyes as sharp as a hawk, raised her voice, and ordered with full energy: "You two, don't stand there like wooden stakes. Go and take out the peanuts and melon seeds in the cabinet and give them to Miss Xiaohui to taste. Don't neglect our distinguished guests. If you dare to be lazy, I will punish you."
Liu Guangqi watched his mother busying around and felt warm in his heart, as if he was embraced by the warm spring sun, but also embarrassed, as if he was a child who had done something wrong.
He scratched his head, his movements were a little simple and clumsy, and he said with some embarrassment, "Mom, don't bother. Xiaohui is not picky. She doesn't have those requirements. Don't tire yourself out."
Qi Sihui also waved her hand quickly, with a smile on her face, like the warm sunshine in spring, and said quickly: "Auntie, you are too polite. I am really not hungry. You should sit down and have a rest. You have been busy for a long time. Don't get tired. I feel bad about it."
The second aunt pretended to be angry and said, "That won't work. This is your first time here, we can't let you down."
As she spoke, she held up the steaming, fragrant teacup with both hands and handed it to Qi Sihui. Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she was waiting to reveal the answer to a grand mystery. She said, "Girl, try it and see if it tastes good. If not, I'll change it for you."
Qi Sihui looked at the second aunt's warm, sincere and caring eyes, and felt warm all over.
She nodded quickly, her little head moving up and down happily and eagerly, and replied sweetly, "It tastes good. Auntie's cooking is really good. This tea is very fragrant. Once you take a sip, the fragrance goes straight into your throat and makes you feel comfortable all over."
As they were talking, the second aunt took Qi Sihui's hand and sat on the edge of the kang, chatting with her in detail.
The second aunt asked about Qi Sihui's family situation. When she learned that she was the daughter of Liu Guangqi, her eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly returned to normal and said with emotion: "So that's how it is. It seems that you two are also destined to be together. Guangqi is usually very taciturn. If there is anything he does wrong, please bear with me."
Qi Sihui blushed and whispered, "Auntie, Guangqi is very good and takes good care of me, don't worry."
Afterwards, the second aunt asked Liu Guangfu to go to the factory and tell his father to ask Liu Haizhong to come back quickly after get off work.
Liu Guangfu responded and ran out. His steps were fast and full of anxiety and joy, as if he was a messenger with the mission of delivering great news.
When he arrived at the factory, Liu Guangfu asked around and finally found Liu Haizhong, who was tinkering with a machine in a corner of the workshop.
At that time, his bangs were covered in grease, his hands were covered in black motor oil, and he was so focused on the work at hand that he was completely unaware of what was happening around him.
Liu Guangfu took a few steps forward, tugged at his father's sleeve, and shouted excitedly, "Dad, stop it, my brother brought his girlfriend home, and Mom asked you to go back after get off work!"
Liu Haizhong was stunned when he heard this. He almost dropped the wrench in his hand. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Guangqi brought his girlfriend home?"
The look on his face was full of astonishment, as if he had heard a fairy tale.
In his impression, his eldest son has always been introverted and reserved, and has never mentioned anything about love affairs. Now this sudden news really caught him off guard.
Liu Guangfu nodded vigorously, with a bright smile on his face: "Yes, Dad, the girl looks very good, Mom is looking after her, you should go back soon."
Liu Haizhong finally came back to his senses, a smile spread from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of relief, and he muttered: "This brat finally got it."
As he spoke, he hurriedly put down the tools in his hands, said a few words to the worker beside him, and walked out of the workshop in two steps. As he walked, he raised his hand to wipe the oil off his face, trying to make himself look neater.
