Chapter 215 Encounter by Chance
"Brother, the peach blossoms are really blooming, and they are blooming together with the plum blossoms. It's amazing."
Niuniu pointed at the fresh and delicate flowers on the tree with raindrops on them, her face full of excitement. She wanted to recite a poem, but she couldn't think of one for a while.
Gu Yan nodded, and pointed at the best one: "Do you want it? Brother will pick it for you."
Niuniu hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and said: "Does a flower represent a fruit?"
Gu Yan said: "That may not be the case."
Niuniu was stunned and said: "Isn't it like that? I heard the old people often say that flowers bear fruits."
Gu Yan said: "There are more flowers than fruits. There is also a peach tree behind our house. Every year, there are countless flowers, but there are a certain number of peaches."
Niuniu nodded, not quite understanding. In the past, in the village, the fruits of the peach trees were gone in a split by the children in the family, and there was not enough to eat.
Niuniu nodded firmly and said to the peach tree: "Then I'd rather not have the flower. What if this flower happens to bear fruit? It would be a pity if I pick it by mistake."
"You are so interesting, little kid. What you said is exactly the same as my wife."
A handsome middle-aged man in his forties, wearing navy blue clothes, suddenly appeared behind the brother and sister.
Gu Yan immediately grabbed his sister's hand, and saw his parents enjoying the flowers not far away. The middle-aged man didn't seem like a bad person. He calmed down and didn't stop his sister from chatting with him.
Niu Niu looked up and asked, "Mr. Big, are you here to enjoy the flowers too? Why do you look unhappy?"
The middle-aged man heard this and looked at the overflowing sea of flowers. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes and he said, "I came here to try my luck."
Niu Niu looked around in confusion and then said, "Try your luck? You don't look short of money."
Although the man was dressed simply, he looked rich and noble, and he looked like someone who was not short of money.
"Haha, little girl, do you think trying your luck is picking up money?" The man squatted down and asked with a smile.
Niu Niu nodded honestly.
"Our family was poor before, so I looked forward to trying my luck often, but now my family is very rich, so we don't need to try our luck anymore." Niu Niu said in a baby voice.
The man was a little curious and asked, "How did your family become rich?"
"By trying my luck." Niu Niu said as a matter of course.
The man couldn't help laughing and asked, "How did you get lucky? Can you teach me?"
Niuniu sighed and said, "Mr. Big, you look very smart."
The man was suddenly praised and felt a little happy.
But Niuniu continued, "You are so smart, why can't you figure it out? Luck is a matter of chance, not learning."
If someone else said this, the man would probably be angry, but the one who spoke was a six-year-old girl. She was still childish and looked very cute with an attitude of "Why can't you figure this out?"
The middle-aged man laughed, but suddenly laughed more and more bitterly, saying, "It seems that my luck is not good enough."
Niuniu looked at him like this and couldn't help being infected by the bitter atmosphere surrounding him. In the end, she was merciful and asked, "How much silver do you want to pick up when you come here to try your luck?"
The man shook his head and said, "I don't lack money. I just want to meet my wife here."
Niuniu tilted her head and said, "Strange, isn't your wife with you? Where did she go?"
"I don't know." The man said.
Niu Niu asked, "Did you make her angry, so she won't see you?"
The man shook his head and said, "I hope so."
Niu Niu pointed to a pair of people admiring flowers side by side not far away and said, "That's my parents. They have a good relationship and are always inseparable."
When Niu Niu pointed over, Gu Mingda and his wife happened to look over here and smiled at the children.
The man was also envious and asked again, "How many children do your parents have?"
"Four children, I have three brothers!" Niu Niu said.
The man looked at Gu Yan on the side and said, "You have a good brother."
Gu Yan held his sister's hand from beginning to end. Even if he tried his best to hide it, the man could still see the defensiveness on his face. He was a good brother who protected his sister.
Niu Niu was proud when she mentioned her family, and said: "My three brothers are all good, my parents are also good, my grandparents are also very good, and my aunt and godfather and godmother are also very good!"
Listening to Niu Niu talking about her family like announcing the names of dishes, the man exclaimed: "Wow, you have quite a lot of family members."
Niu Niu couldn't help but feel sorry for the man when she heard this, and said: "Do you have very few family members?"
The man said: "My father passed away early, and now there is only my mother and my sister at home, who is already married."
Niu Niu felt even more pitiful when she heard this, but still asked: "Where is your wife? Isn't she your family member?"
"She...she hasn't married me yet, but she is indeed my wife..." the man said.
As soon as these words came out, before Niu Niu said anything, Gu Yan frowned, and the young boy looked at the man with a different look, and the hand holding his sister tightened.
"Mr. Da, don't you have a wife, but you just think you have one?" Gu Yan asked.
He wanted to pull his sister away from this man who seemed to be mentally ill on the spot.
The man glanced at Gu Yan and said, "You are too young, you don't understand."
Gu Yan still felt that this man was not normal, and guessed that his sweetheart must have married someone else, so he went crazy.
Niu Niu asked: "Mr., if you can get lucky, do you want your wife to see you, or do you want her to live a good life?"
The child's words made the man silent.
After a long time, he said: "I still hope that she can be safe and happy, healthy and worry-free."
Niu Niu glanced at Gu Yan, then looked at her parents not far away, and whispered: "Then I also hope that she can be safe and happy, healthy and worry-free."
The man did not realize what a big thing Niu Niu had done. At this time, his face was full of disappointment and he said: "Thank you for your good words."
Gu Yan's eyes softened a little because of the man's choice. People who hope that their wives can live well, even if they are crazy, are probably not too bad. They may be similar to the girl living in his backyard, and they are going crazy with kindness.
"You should be happy too. Your wife is living happily somewhere in the world, and you should be happy for her too." Niu Niu said seriously.
The man forced a smile and said, "You're right, I should be happy for her."
A beardless man dressed as a butler walked over quickly. After taking a look at Niuniu and her brother, he bent down and whispered to the man, "Master, it's getting late. Do you think we should go back?"
The man stood up, looked up at the sky, and nodded.
"Little girl, your family treats you well. You are a blessed person." The man said.
Niuniu straightened up and said proudly, "I am the good kid in the family. Of course, I am a blessed person!"
