Chapter 19 He Protects Her, She Protects Him
"Come, I'll teach you how to write your name!" Taozhi picked up a pencil and said, "Before, Xia Taoqin lost her schoolbook, I asked Teacher Liu from the village to teach me how to recognize some of them."
"Think about it, he's been gone for two years."
The peach branch had Xie Yan's name written on it, and she did go to Teacher Liu's house often in the past.
He is seventy years old and is the oldest person in the village.
He knew a lot of words and in the 1930s, he was a very remarkable scholar, had written many collections of poetry, and was the most learned man in the village.
However, his wife was beaten to death by invaders during that era. After liberation, he returned to the village and lived alone.
She would use her free time to help him farm, and although he was indifferent, he would occasionally teach her something.
He always told girls not to be too smart, because his wife was too smart, which made her life very tiring.
Taozhi can use this to explain why she can write.
She looked at Xie Yan's hand and said, "Learn from me."
Xie Yan said "oh" obediently, staring at her hands. As he stared at her, he felt that her fingers were really beautiful, but a little rough, probably because she worked frequently.
There were some small wounds on the slender fingers.
"Have you understood?" Taozhi looked at him and showed him the two characters she had written.
Xie Yan stared at these two words, staring blankly: "You write very well."
At that moment he felt that what he wrote was nothing.
The two characters "Xie Yan" are so beautiful and neat, just like they were printed on a book.
He clenched his pencil tightly. Taozhi was really amazing.
"Isn't that right?" Taozhi handed him her paper. "This is the result of training. I had to write it a thousand times to get it to this point. Don't worry. I've worked hard for you, and you can do it too."
Xie Yan looked at her with his dark eyes. They were very close, yet very far away.
He nodded firmly: "I will study hard! Teacher Xia!"
Taozhi couldn't help laughing: "Then keep up the good work, thank you Xiao Yan for your study."
Xie Yan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. He lowered his head and was about to write when he heard a knock on the door from Taozhi's house.
Because this place was the back door and there was a mountain behind it, he was not worried about being discovered.
After all, Taozhi's sleeping place is a bit far from their sleeping room.
"Xia Taozhi, come out for a moment."
Taozhi was too lazy to pay attention. It was Xia Taoqi who was talking. She didn't know why she stayed at home the other day and didn't go back to her home.
It wasn't far from a village, but she just stopped there to rest.
She can't live without her brother, so it's strange that she is so young.
Of course, she was also complaining in her heart. After all, this was Xia Taoying's home, and whether she came back or not had nothing to do with her.
Xia Taozhi cursed at the door: "Xia Taozhi, are you coming out or not? If not, I'll burn you!"
Taozhi was speechless. She said to the door, "Xia Taoyin, what are you doing so crazy in the middle of the night?"
Xia Taozhi's voice was furious: "Xia Taozhi, I heard from Zhou Yufang that you told Aunt Huang that I seduced Liu Shuqi. Come out and see if I don't rip your mouth off!!"
"What the hell?" Tao Xi looked at Xie Yan and said, "You should go back first. This Xia Tao Xi has gone crazy and is biting people randomly."
"I'll help you..." Xie Yan frowned.
"No." Taozhi looked at him: "I can handle it myself."
Xie Yan nodded. He thought of something and said, "Liu Shu went out yesterday with Liu Guizhuang. He must have gone to the city to pick up someone for investigation."
A deep look flashed in Taozhi's eyes: "Is that so."
No wonder Xia Taoqin didn’t go back, because Liu Shuqin was not at home.
"Peach Branch." Xie Yan looked at her seriously. "I know you've felt unfair over the years, and I also know that God has been unfair to you."
"But I don't want you to despair of this world just because of a moment of pain. Sometimes I feel that just being alive is good enough, because the earth is turning, and a person can't stay in that air forever, nor can they be unlucky forever."
"People like you will definitely be favored."
"so……"
"If you can leave the Xia family, don't hesitate. If you choose me, I won't let you lose."
His eyes were full of seriousness. Seeing him like this, Taozhi reached out and hooked his little finger: "Thank you, Yan, if you..."
If she had said this earlier in her previous life and come to her senses sooner, she wouldn't have regressed.
He was getting closer, but she didn't take a single step forward.
She thought he was a bad guy, and he thought she was rejecting him.
In fact, it was just a lack of communication. Look at him now, he understood as soon as she said it.
As soon as he said that, she understood.
Xie Yan pursed his lips slightly: "It's not too late now."
Taozhi smiled: "Yes, it's not too late now."
Taozhi waved at him and said, "Go back quickly. I'll deal with Xia Taoyin."
Xie Yan looked at the piece of paper where she had written her name and asked, "Can I have this?"
Taozhi gave him the paper and the pen: "Here, practice when you have time. I will check it."
She always feels relaxed in front of Xie Yan.
"Okay." Xie Yan nodded, folded the paper with her name on it, and put it carefully in his pocket.
"Then I'll go back."
"Well, go ahead." Taozhi put away all the things.
