Chapter 49 I Kiss You
Taozhi walked back to the village, chatting and laughing with the villagers.
Everyone was enthusiastic about road construction, even though the Party Secretary said it wouldn't earn them any work points.
This is a spontaneous organization organized by everyone. For the sake of their children, each family only needs to send one person.
Every family in this village has children, and they are all of school-age. The population is thriving, so no one cares about sending one person to build the road.
"Taozhi, you have to work harder on the exam. Since the Party Secretary said so, all the women representatives from the county must have gone there. You have to win honor for our village."
"Yes, Taozhi, you are a smart girl. If you can bring back a new tractor, you will be a great hero to our village."
"That's right. Last time we brought back the grain seeds, and this time we brought back the tractor. Taozhi is really like a fairy."
…
"What you're saying is hilarious." Xie Yan listened to their conversation and said sarcastically, "Does my Taozhi have to get the tractor for you? If you have the guts, you can take it yourself."
Liu Bamei was mocked by Xie Yan and laughed, "Xie Yan, what you said is wrong. We are not women's representatives."
Others echoed: "Yes."
Taozhi glanced at Xie Yan. How could he possibly scold these old wives? She stood in front of Xie Yan and said with a smile, "Aunts, I'm going there to learn, not to compete. That's a reward from above, and it's up to the higher-ups to decide. If you want to go, apply to Secretary Chen. Who knows, you might be able to get the tractor back."
They looked a little unhappy. After all, they wanted to be the women's representative, but they didn't have the chance.
Secretary Chen said that we must be able to write.
They had said before that Xia Taozhi had never attended any school at Luo Cuilin's place, so how could she possibly write?
But later, when she wrote slogans, they looked just like the ones printed in the picture magazine, and they had nothing to say.
Later I heard from the branch secretary that she learned it from that devilish old man Feng Qi.
Everyone knows Feng Qi, the village writer who wrote some bad words outside and came to hide in the village.
Everyone was afraid of being contaminated, so Xia Taozhi went to hoe the fields for him. Unexpectedly, he also learned to write in the process.
Taozhi pushed her bicycle away regardless of what they guessed.
Xie Yan glanced at the group of people and walked back to his home.
Liu Bamei spat: "I really can't afford to offend you."
"Stop talking, Eighth Sister. Are you dissatisfied with Cui Lian?" After all, Liu Eighth Sister has the best relationship with Luo Cui Lian.
Everyone knows the answer.
Liu Bamei watched Taozhi's back as she walked away, her face full of disgust: "Her mother is still lying in the hospital, and she is going to marry a gangster."
"Shh!" Wang Guihua, who was standing next to her, tugged at her clothes and said, "Aren't you afraid that Xie Yan might hear it?"
Liu Bamei's face darkened. "What am I afraid of? Could it be that Xie Yan dares to burn down my house?"
Wang Guihua stopped talking and she and a few others left quickly.
Liu Bamei had just returned to her parents' home, and she didn't know how powerful Xie Yan was.
Liu Bamei watched them all leave, and then she walked towards home, thinking that she would go to the city to see Cui Lian tomorrow.
This person is also pitiful.
-
Taozhi returned to the village office. She pushed the bicycle into the room and then put it into the space.
There are too many people who want to do bad things, and it is too dangerous to leave her bicycle outside.
So she just put it in the room. No one would come anyway and no one would know she put it in the space.
Taozhi cooked some food, put it in a basket, covered it with a cloth and went to find Xie Yan.
The two came back late and had no food to eat.
When she came to Xie Yan's house, he was not at home. Taozhi was very surprised. This guy must have known that she was coming.
She placed the food on the table at home and waited for Xie Yan to come back.
Xie Yan came over after a while. He looked at Taozhi and smiled, "Why are you here so early? Dabai was running around, so I caught him."
The geese in his family are arranged in order: Big White, Second White, Third White...
"Isn't Dabai very well behaved? Why is he running around?" Taozhi then looked at the geese in the goose house and found that one was indeed missing.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice this problem.
"Who knows, maybe he's just bored. The food is so delicious yesterday. Has the staff in our cafeteria changed?" He sat down quickly and changed the subject.
Taozhi smiled and said, "Yeah, it's my turn."
Xie Yan was surprised: "No wonder it tastes even better, it turns out you are the one who stir-fried it."
Taozhi hissed and looked at him mysteriously: "This is a secret between us."
Seeing her like this, Xie Yan smiled indulgently: "Okay."
Taozhi smiled and said, "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, I will go back to pack my things. We will leave tomorrow."
Xie Yan's face froze, and he slowly ate the rice, almost picking up each grain.
Taozhi: “…”
This is really Xie Xiaoyan!!
Xie Yan swallowed a mouthful of rice and then said slowly, "You're leaving tomorrow. If you don't teach me how to do division, I'll forget about it when you come back."
Taozhi was at a loss for words: "Do you still need me to teach you how to do division?"
Xie Yan said confidently: "I haven't learned how to divide three-digit numbers yet."
Taozhi was helpless: "..."
"Okay, I'll help you learn how to divide three-digit numbers."
Xie Yan was satisfied and ate his meal quickly.
Taozhi looked at him like this and couldn't help wondering, if this really was a child, it wouldn't be like Xie Yan's.
She quickly put the idea aside, after all, it was still far away.
After dinner, the two studied for a while. Although Xie Yan was reluctant to part with her, he did not act stubbornly and sent her back to the brigade office early that day.
Taozhi really wanted to go to bed early and be in good spirits.
Even though I stayed in one place all day selling things, I was still very tired even though I was mentally highly focused.
Xie Yan followed her back. When he arrived at the cafeteria door, he saw that the door was locked. He could imagine how hard it was for her every time. She must have done it secretly.
"When can we cook for ourselves?" He wanted to try if he could cook a dish for her.
Although his roasted rabbit and wild boar were delicious, he had never cooked any dish himself.
Taozhi followed his gaze and said, "It's almost time. After all, we don't have everyone eating together elsewhere, and it's almost over here too."
It won’t be long, the announcement should be made before the autumn harvest.
Xie Yan looked at her. Taozhi was wearing a thin blue shirt with diagonal buttons. He could imagine how much she liked blue.
It's always this color, even the pen I give him is blue.
He also likes the color blue because his dream when he was a child was to be able to fly.
So, blue is the color of the sky.
Taozhi stopped and said, "Okay, Xie Yan, you can go back now."
While Xie Yan was thinking about it, he had already walked to the door of her room.
Xie Yan looked at her thick, long, jet-black braid, which was draped over her shoulders and swayed with her movements.
Her smile was infectious and made him feel happy too.
But……
He wouldn't be able to see her for several days.
Xie Yan stretched out his hand. Tao Zhi blinked and held his hand. "What's wrong?"
Although relationships between men and women were strictly prohibited at this time and it was easy for people to see them in the brigade, she didn't want to reject him.
