When Liu Tangxi woke up the next morning and looked at the empty house, he wondered for a moment if yesterday was just a dream and Wei Hanzhou had never come back.
After she left the house, she heard from Mrs. Li that Wei Hanzhou had already returned to the county town.
After hearing the news, Liu Tangxi was furious. If he had told her earlier that he was leaving today, she would not have said such nonsense to him.
But when I heard that Wei Hanzhou got up at 3 a.m. to go to the next village to take the vegetable delivery man's car, I felt that this kind of person who gets up early and works hard is really not worthy of being angry.
"Hey, look at this kid, why is he running back and forth all the time? He is just too filial and worried about his father, so he comes back to visit whenever he gets the chance." Mrs. Li kept on talking.
Liu Tangxi felt that Wei Hanzhou was truly a filial person.
This afternoon, Li planned to go to the mountain to see the fruit trees.
After hearing this, Liu Tangxi was somewhat moved.
Although the weather was hot, it was not comfortable to stay at home all day. Moreover, the summer here was much cooler than where she lived, so it was not that unbearable.
Looking at the two little girls who had been confined at home to learn embroidery, Liu Tangxi discussed with Li and proposed the idea of taking them to the mountains for a look.
Going to the back mountain was not a big deal, Li agreed.
Then, the four of them went to the back mountain.
As soon as I walked out of the door, came to the back of the house, and reached the foot of the mountain, I saw a mother and daughter coming down the mountain.
After seeing the four of them, the expressions of the mother and daughter changed abruptly.
To be precise, his eyes began to change after he saw Liu Tangxi behind Li.
"Mother Ye Zi, where have you been?" Li greeted her with a smile.
"Oh, it's my elder sister. I took Ye'er to her grandmother's house and just came back." Zhao replied with a smile.
"Is Grandma Yezi in good health?"
"They are fine, but it's too hot and they can't eat. I sent them some fruits."
"You are really filial."
"The elder sister is joking."
After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Zhao glanced at Liu Tangxi behind Li.
Sensing Zhao's gaze, Li showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, but she quickly covered it up, turned to look at Liu Tangxi, and said, "This is my third daughter-in-law. You haven't seen her yet, right?"
"Oh, so this is Han Zhou's wife. She is so beautiful." Zhao praised her halfheartedly.
Liu Tangxi frowned slightly.
The woman sounded like she was complimenting her, but the look in her eyes made people feel very uncomfortable, and the tone of her voice was also very strange.
"This is your second aunt from Lijia Village next door. Her grandfather Ye Zi is a scholar like Han Zhou." Li briefly introduced Zhao's identity.
Liu Tangxi smiled politely and said hello, "Hello, Auntie."
After hearing this, Zhao looked at Liu Tangxi again, her eyes full of contempt, and then said to Li: "Didn't you say before that you would send your grandson home to study this year? How come it's been so long and you haven't sent him there yet?"
Li's expression became even more embarrassed. She sighed and said, "Well, you know, his grandfather was ill this year and spent a lot of money on medicine. I'll go next year when I save some money."
Zhao glanced at Liu Tangxi and said, "Old sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should spend the money where it should be spent. If you spend it on people who have nothing to do with you, isn't that a waste of money?"
Li frowned and ended the conversation hastily: "Well, it's too hot outside. I'm sure you and Ye Zi are tired. Let's go home and cool down."
Seeing that Li was unwilling to talk about this, Zhao pursed her lips and said nothing more.
However, when he left, he looked at Liu Tangxi with a strange look.
Not only her, but the little girl named Ye Zi behind Zhao also looked at her in a very explicit way, strongly expressing her dislike for her.
Liu Tangxi didn't know these two people. The reason why they treated her like this was probably because of her identity.
When she went to the town with Zhang that day, many people in the village looked at her.
However, she never cared about the opinions of these irrelevant people. She didn't rely on them to survive, and they wouldn't have any intersection in the future.
Therefore, Liu Tangxi not only did not feel shy, but smiled sweetly at the two of them.
This smile was as brilliant as a summer flower, so bright that the two people felt embarrassed and left in a hurry.
As soon as the two disappeared, Liu Tangxi heard Li say, "Old Third Wife, don't mind it. Before, Mr. Li wanted to marry his granddaughter to Han Zhou, but your father refused. That's why they treated you like this."
After hearing this, Liu Tangxi looked at Li.
Therefore, this mother and daughter did not simply dislike her, but there was an emotional dispute related to Wei Hanzhou.
I didn't realize that Wei Hanzhou, who is so cold and doesn't say a word all day, actually has a love line.
However, considering that he is now a scholar after all and looks decent, it is not too surprising.
Seeing Li staring at her with a worried look on her face, Liu Tangxi smiled and said, "It's okay, mother, I'm not angry. I know they are jealous of me marrying my husband, and I'm happy in my heart."
Hearing her daughter-in-law say this, Li laughed and said, "Well, that's how it should be. They are just jealous of you."
As they spoke, the group walked up the mountain.
The weather is getting warmer now, and the apples are a little redder than before. Although they are not yet ripe, they look very pleasing.
The children seemed unaware of the heat. Wei Fuyao and Wei Shulan ran around among the apple trees.
Li went to see the fruit trees, and Liu Tangxi followed behind the two children, watching them.
Thinking of the delicious apples he had eaten before, Liu Tangxi's saliva was about to flow again.
Seeing an apple dropped on the ground, Liu Tangxi picked it up.
"Would you like some apples?" Liu Tangxi asked her two nieces.
Wei Fuyao glanced at the slightly red apple in Liu Tangxi's hand and said firmly without hesitation, "I won't eat it."
She had eaten the apples at home for several years. Although they were a little red now, they were not ready to eat. They tasted sour and bitter. Moreover, the ones that fell on the ground were rotten and not tasty.
Wei Shulan squatted in front of Liu Tangxi and asked in a soft voice: "Auntie, is this apple as delicious as the one you gave me before?"
Liu Tangxi touched Wei Shulan's hair and said with a smile, "Not necessarily."
After hearing this, Wei Shulan frowned and said nothing.
"Auntie, please taste it first. If it tastes good, I'll give it to you. If it doesn't taste good, you can't eat it. Okay?" Liu Tangxi said to Wei Shulan.
Wei Shulan nodded obediently.
"Auntie San will wash you, you can go play with grandma." Liu Tangxi stood up and said. After that, Liu Tangxi said hello to Li and walked to the side.
She remembered that when she came up, she saw some running water not far away. Li said that she would fetch water from there to water the apple trees. The water should have flowed down from the mountain, and the spring water looked very clear and clean.
On the way to wash the apples, Liu Tangxi picked up another one that looked pretty good from the ground.
She didn't bring a knife, so it would be difficult to clean if there were any damages. She just hoped that these things that looked good would taste better.
After washing, Liu Tangxi looked at the apples in her hand. One was green and the other was slightly red.
This time, Liu Tangxi didn't hesitate and took a bite of the green one. After all, she had eaten all the good things in her time, including apples sweeter than this one. Besides, the other one was for the child, and as an adult, she didn't like to eat the good ones and leave the bad ones for the children.
As soon as he took a bite, Liu Tangxi's eyes lit up.
tasty.
Although the apple was still green, for some reason it tasted better than the red apples I had eaten before.
She has eaten four or five apples in total, and they were all delicious. She doesn’t know why such delicious apples cannot be sold at a high price.
Is it because the apples in this place are delicious?
However, when I think about other people's reactions when they eat apples, it doesn't seem like it.
Why is it that everything she eats is delicious? No matter if it is green or red, everything she gets is delicious.
Liu Tangxi stared at the apple in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Is she particularly lucky?
