Secretary Chen looked at her with a smile and said, "By the way, Taozhi, if you want to build a house, the village will build it for you. However, the only place you can choose is at the entrance of the village, where there is open space."
He didn't ask much about her family affairs. After all, the girl didn't want to separate from her family unless it was absolutely necessary.
Now she has helped and he has fulfilled his promise. It is a win-win situation. He doesn't care what her parents say. After all, the girl is not young anymore and knows what she is doing.
"Hey, thank you, Secretary." Taozhi was very fortunate to meet such a kind village official.
She is also glad that things are not so strict now and she can get her household registration by herself.
It would be bad if I had to get my parents' consent.
Secretary Chen said, "I should thank you. I thank you on behalf of our entire village."
Taozhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll go home first."
He nodded. "Go ahead."
Taozhi put both household registrations into the space, so that Luo Cuilian wouldn't be able to see them even if she looked for a while.
As for when she would leave the Xia family, where would she live if she left? Building a house in the village might take three months...
The days are too long.
It is even more unrealistic to live in the city. She cannot leave the county, and in the county, most people do not rent out their houses.
She still likes the era after the reform, which was much freer than it is now.
When Taozhi returned home, Luo Cuilian was guarding her three grandchildren at the door, like herding cattle. They were playing freely beside her while she sat on the doorstep.
Seeing Taozhi coming back, she didn't scold her this time. Instead, she asked coldly, "Xia Taozhi, which friend did you get the grain seeds from?"
Taozhi also thought that she knew about what the whole village knew.
Xia Taoyin came out of the house. She was more than a month pregnant, but her belly was not moving at all. She insisted on supporting her waist. If you didn't know, you would think she was pregnant with a dragon boy.
"Oh, sister is back." Xia Taoyin moved a chair to the yard and sat down, fanning herself with a fan. "Sister, you know this little man from the Agricultural Bureau, but you didn't even bring him home to see him."
In her opinion, Xia Taozhi must have gone to the city and begged a man to get the seeds.
How could Xia Taozhi, who couldn't even read a single word, know people in the city, and even work in the Agricultural Bureau?! She really couldn't believe it.
Luo Cuilian sat at the door, and Taozhi couldn't get in. She looked at Luo Cuilian and said, "This is my own business, you have no right to interfere."
Luo Cuilian stared at her with her sharp eyes: "Your wings are really strong."
Taozhi looked at her and said, "Luo Cuilian, I just realized that you really have two faces. What's more, you are quite stubborn."
Luo Cuilian was so angry. What's wrong with this little bitch? She wasn't so smart before!
no!
Things are getting increasingly out of control.
She thought about killing Xia Taozhi, but she wanted to wait a little longer...
Luo Cuilian took two deep breaths: "If you don't want to get married, you can also tell me. After all, I am your mother, of course, for your sake..."
"Still acting?" Taozhi bent down and looked her in the eye: "You are not tired at all, why are you acting like a kind-hearted person? You are not my relative."
Luo Cuilian remained calm on the surface. She said slowly, "Xia Taozhi, you are the flesh that fell from my body. I have the birth certificate! I don't know if you heard that bitch say that you are not my child, but they all lied to you..."
Taozhi interrupted her, "Birth certificate? Is it mine or Xia Taoyin's?"
Hehehe.
Back then, she took out her birth certificate for Wei, so I didn't doubt her.
But now that I think about it, it’s easy to fake things these days.
After all, few people can tell a fake certificate, and even if a real certificate is stolen, no one can check it.
She was always too young...
Now, she is not afraid of her.
At worst, I can just leave the Xia family and sleep on the overpass. Who would tolerate this old woman?
The more I think about it, the more I feel sorry for my past self. Although I was kind at that time, or even stupid to put it bluntly, this is no reason for her to bully me!
Luo Cuilian slapped her in the face, but Taozhi held her hand tightly. "I don't want to argue with you. I just want to take back what belongs to me."
She threw her hand away and saw Xia Taoyin's expression.
She was very surprised and confused as to why she dared to be so confrontational with Luo Cuilin.
After Taozhi entered the room, she turned left and it was her room. She walked in, locked the door, and lay on the bed in a daze.
Now we have to take things one step at a time. Once the village starts building houses, Luo Cuilian will know that she has to divide the family business.
She will return the household registration soon. It's better to delay it for one day.
Taozhi felt a little tired. She stared at the grass above her head. She was the only one still living in this thatched house. The people next door all lived in mud-walled houses.
The walls of her room were uneven, made of a mixture of bamboo strips and mud.
After sighing, she sat on the bed in a daze.
Suddenly someone knocked on her window. Taozhi opened the curtains and saw Xie Yan standing outside.
She opened the window, and Xie Yan leaned on the windowsill with one hand, leaning lazily: "Xia Taozhi, you really have something to do."
Taozhi looked at him after hearing this and said, "He is not as good as you, Mr. Xie Xiaoyan."
"What Xie Xiaoyan?" Xie Yan frowned and looked at her.
Taozhi shrugged: "It's that shy kid. I didn't mean you. I meant the one who said he liked her and then ran away."
Xie Yan: “…”
He looked at her with gritted teeth, his ears slightly red: "I'm afraid you'll be shy. How could I be shy? It's a joke."
"Oh? Are you very experienced?" Taozhi raised her eyebrows with a questioning look on her little face.
Xie Yanjun had a proud look on his face: "That's right, the girls who are chasing me will line up from my doorstep to the county station."
Taozhi stared at him: "Where is it? Why can't I see it?"
Xie Yan said, "I came as soon as I was called."
Taozhi nodded slightly and said, "Call one out for me to see."
Xie Yan fell silent for a moment.
"Hahahaha." Taozhi sneered at him: "Hurry up and leave. If you have something to say, say it. If not, disappear."
Xie Yan raised his eyes slightly: "Why are you so cold suddenly?"
Taozhi said indifferently: "Uncle Xie Yan, you don't need me, Xia Taozhi, to be gentle with him. Anyway, he just waved his hand and a group of women lined up at his door, and even lined up all the way to the county station."
Xie Yan scratched his head, no longer standing in the same cool manner as before. He looked at the indifference on Taozhi's face and said awkwardly, "I was joking. I wouldn't even look down on them even if they were queuing."
He muttered, "You might as well smile at me. I'll give you my life..."
Taozhi listened to his mumbling, looked at him, and took out two candies from the space: "Here you go."
"Oh." Xie Yan took it and put it carefully in his pocket. After returning home, he put all the candies Xia Taozhi gave him into a jar and was reluctant to eat them.
Taozhi watched his movements and asked, "Why don't you try it?"
"I'll go home and eat later." He looked up and smiled at her: "Don't be angry, I was just joking. There are no girls lining up here. There is no girl who would like me."
Taozhi looked at his silly smile and she found that Xie Yan was really handsome.
Unlike the dark and rough young men in the village, his face was firm and well-defined, with dark pupils, a high nose bridge, and long eyelashes.
He just had a buzz cut, which made him look a bit rustic, but he looked more approachable than when he wore a suit and tie later.
Taozhi reached out and hooked her little finger around his on the windowsill: "I like you."
She must like Xie Yan. In her previous life, she could see him in the city. Although he didn't like to talk and sometimes his words were irritating, he had never hurt her.
She thought she hated Xie Yan, but when he rushed into the office to save her, she was worried about his safety.
She didn't want Xie Yan to die.
