Chapter 159 A Completely Different Oasis
Song Zhi called Bai Zhenggan who was far away in Song City and told him that Taotao was pregnant again.
Then the situation exploded.
Tang Liren took a leave that afternoon, went to the post office, called Song Zhi's workplace, and asked the operator to tell her to call back at 5:30 p.m. Then she kept waiting and waiting...
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Song Zhi was holding his son and waiting in the switchboard room with Tao Tao. Sure enough, they received a call from Tang Liren.
Tang Liren was furious on the phone, "I'll pack up and go pick up Taotao! Song Zhi, send Taotao to the train station and let her stay in the guesthouse for a few days to have a good rest... Feibai can also come with you, I will take the three of them back to my hometown!"
Song Zhi didn't dare to say anything.
Taotao grabbed the microphone and said, "Mom..."
Tang Liren was very excited. "The conditions over there are too harsh! Too harsh! I can't watch my daughter suffer in such a deserted place! I have given birth to five children in total... I can't care about the second child, he is a boy, but Taotao must come back! Must come back!"
Taotao, "Mom..."
Tang Liren, "Song Zhi, let me tell you! If my daughter marries you and has to suffer like this, I would rather she not marry you! Even if she comes back with two children, your father and I can support them and their three children! It's your business if you want to suffer and be poor there, but don't drag my daughter down with you..."
"Mom!" Taotao yelled.
There was finally silence on the other end of the phone.
Tao Tao then slowed down her voice, "Mom, I'm pregnant... It was just an accident. We didn't know that the child would choose this time to come. But since the child is here, let's make the best of it. We called you just to tell you that I'm afraid I won't be able to go back during the Chinese New Year next year. We'll talk about it in two years when the child is a little older."
After a while of silence on the other end of the phone, Tang Liren started crying, "You don't come back this year, and your second brother doesn't come back either... You don't come back next year either, so what am I raising you for? One by one... It's fine if you don't want me as your mother, but I can't even see you even if I want to! You're in a place with a lack of medical care and medicine, you can't even get a bite of rice, right?"
"Although our family is poor, you have been spoiled since you were a child. You have never washed a piece of clothing, and you have never done any housework... How could I bear to let you go there alone? You have to live in a state-owned enterprise and a family of four..."
Tao Tao, "Mom, I'm doing a good job! Family is not just my home, my home is also Song Zhi's home. He has done as much for the family as I have. We help each other!"
Tang Liren, "Bah! You have one by your side and one in your belly...you are taking care of both children, what does he care about!"
Taotao glanced at Song Zhi.
Song Zhi lowered his head.
Tao Tao deliberately said: "So what if I don't want this in my belly?"
Song Zhi was shocked and grabbed Taotao's hand.
Taotao smiled at him.
Song Zhi then breathed a sigh of relief.
But Tang Liren on the other end of the phone suddenly became nervous, "Bai Taozi! What did you say???"
Taotao moved the microphone a little further away, "Mom! Your voice is so loud, it scared your little grandson in my belly!"
"you……"
Tang Liren's voice immediately became low and gentle, but it was full of warning. "Bai Taozi, I'm warning you! Don't do anything stupid!"
"Mom!" Taotao began to act like a spoiled child. "The baby is coming. What can I do to stop it? But I can't lose my job. The country sent me here to work. How can I leave? Besides, Song Zhi and I can't break up our family..."
"Mom, I'm fine here. If you don't believe me, you and my dad can come and see me next year when the weather is good! I promise you, Lingxi is a good place, you won't want to leave once you come here!" Taotao stuck out her tongue at Song Zhi while saying this.
Song Zhi: ...
——If your mother came to Lingxi and saw that Lingxi was such a poor place, she would probably scold you to death!
Oh no, she can't bear to scold you.
I guess I'm the one who got scolded.
Tang Liren on the other end of the phone sniffed and asked, "When is your due date?"
"Next August!" Taotao said with a smile.
"What day is August?"
"August 16th."
"I understand. Next year I will gather all my vacation time together and leave on July 20th. I will go to the Northwest and deliver your baby and take care of you during the confinement period. I'm telling you, Bai Taozi...if you dare to say no, I, I...I will take a train with your father tomorrow and take you back home!"
Tao Tao, "Mom, when you come over next year, please bring Xiao Ni'er from your hometown with you! Let Xiao Ni'er and Zhou Chunni get together!"
"Why do you care about others? You should care about yourself!" Tang Liren scolded, "...What are you missing? What do you want to eat? What do you want to eat? And my little Feibai! You have to remember what little Feibai wants to eat and play with! Bring it with you when I come next year!"
Taotao held the microphone and gestured to her son.
Xiao Feibai immediately shouted into the microphone, "Grandma!"
"Why--"
Tang Liren immediately responded happily, "Grandma's dear grandson, Xiao Feibai, do you miss grandma?"
"Yes! I miss grandma! I miss grandpa! I also miss my uncle and aunt, my second uncle! I miss my aunt! I miss my brother and sister Doudazi... I miss grandma the most!" Xiao Feibai said a long string of sentences in one breath.
Taotao gave her son a thumbs up.
Tang Liren was so moved that she almost cried, "Grandma's dear grandson! When you followed your mother to the Northwest, you couldn't speak... Now you can speak so fluently!"
Xiao Feibai, "Because Feifei is going to be a big brother! After the little brother comes out of mom's belly, Feifei will teach him how to speak!"
When Song Zhi heard this, his eyes widened.
Tang Liren on the other end of the phone laughed loudly, and then chatted with Xiao Feibai for a long time...
In the end, he stopped scolding Taotao and Song Zhi.
After finishing the call with Tang Liren, Song Zhi endured it again and again, and found an opportunity to ask his son alone, "How do you know that there is a little brother in your mother's belly?"
He wanted a daughter, a daughter who was quirky, beautiful and lovely like Taotao.
Xiao Feibai thought for a long time and stamped his feet, "It's a little brother!"
No one told him, but he just felt that there was a little brother hidden in his mother's belly.
"Think about it carefully, is it a brother or a sister?" Song Zhi asked again.
Xiao Feibai answered without hesitation: "It's my younger brother!"
Song Zhi's heart sank.
Taotao asked the driver of the water transport team to take a text message to Shi Yuxi, Deng Gaohua, Zhou Chunni and Jiang Hongzhi, telling them that due to her current condition, she might stay in the satellite city until after the Chinese New Year and when she was three months pregnant, and then return to the oasis. She also said that the two places were not far apart, so if there was any problem, she could ask the satellite city's water delivery team to take the message to her.
The next day, Taotao received a reply letter from Shi Deng and Zhou Jiang, saying that the greenhouse at Oasis was fine and that Shi Deng and Zhou Jiang would be in charge of the winter vacation classes, and asked Taotao to have a good rest and so on.
Taotao lived peacefully as a family member in the satellite city.
But Taotao was not idle while staying in the satellite city.
Song Zhi works in a satellite city, focusing on the maintenance of various types of engines, while also racking his brains to come up with independent innovation.
Although he seldom talked about his major with Taotao... Taotao had stayed in the satellite city for a long time and had learned a lot of knowledge.
For example, after a satellite is launched into space, it uses solar cells as energy.
Taotao found some time and asked Song Zhi about the principles, production process, and scope of use of solar cells.
That night, the couple snuggled in bed and discussed the matter enthusiastically all night long. Taotao also thought divergently, wondering if she could install solar cells on her greenhouse?
After all, the sunshine in the Northwest is very strong!
It was not until dawn that Taotao realized that Song Zhi had not slept the whole night?
That won’t do!
She could make up for the sleep but he had to go to work, so she refused to discuss it anymore and quickly pulled Song Zhi to sleep!
Taotao fell asleep quickly, but Song Zhi held her in his arms and was too excited to sleep.
What made him happy was that his Dabaitao was a very thoughtful person. Like him, he had ideas and was willing to do things and try them out.
It’s the New Year.
Other units generally offer five to six days off during the Chinese New Year.
It's a satellite city, and everyone from top to bottom, from leaders to employees... doesn't have a holiday. Of course, everyone will still take turns, changing from three shifts to two shifts, working longer hours and getting more rest time.
For this reason, the families not only feel sorry for their own men/sons/fathers, but also for the bachelors and employees whose families were unable to come.
So everyone discussed it and rehearsed several programs with the logistics department, and performed them in the cafeteria for the employees.
A dozen daughters-in-law rehearsed a red yangko dance and a fan dance, which completely livened up the atmosphere; they also organized a dozen children to rehearse a "Twelve Zodiac Signs Celebrating the New Year"...
Xiao Feibai is the youngest child who performed in the play. He played the little mouse. Xiao Mingming and Feifei came on stage hand in hand and played the little rabbits. As soon as they appeared, their childish and cute figures caused everyone to laugh and applaud continuously.
The two little kids were so proud that they twisted even harder...
Next, several elderly ladies performed a chorus of Peking Opera excerpts from model operas.
Next, the logistics department of the satellite city also performed a few programs, and with the help of several civilian staff members as hosts, they arranged several games of passing the flower and idioms for everyone, and finally a lucky draw for everyone to know 100% of the skills of the lieutenant general.
Taotao was extremely lucky and won the highest prize of the event - a semiconductor radio!
Song Zhi was also lucky as he drew a four-piece toiletries set: a towel with the company's name printed on it, soap, a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Xiao Feibai won a pillowcase with a rocket pattern on it. He was so happy that he pulled Xiao Mingming and asked him to see his rocket. Xiao Mingming pulled out a flashlight and was also very happy. He kept arguing with Xiao Feibai, saying that his flashlight looked more like a rocket.
Others also gained something.
Xu Gong drew a pen and Ding Changxiu drew a very beautiful notebook, so everyone laughed and said they were a perfect match!
The most amazing thing was that the couple Xiao Du and Shanshan each drew an enamel cup, which was exactly a pair, so everyone joked about them, saying that Shanshan was pregnant with twins!
It’s just that Fang Ying is not very happy. Seeing Taotao win the highest prize, she was envious and jealous, but she herself won... an enamel soup bowl?
Fang Ying was so angry that she threw the soup bowl away on the spot and started crying!
Everyone was stunned.
Liu Xiaoxuan repeatedly forbeared and gave his chance to draw the lottery to Fang Ying, who ended up winning an enamel soup bowl again...
Fang Ying smashed both enamel bowls and ran away crying.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while.
The Spring Festival passed in joy and noise.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather became clearer day by day, and the snow on the ground showed signs of melting. The family members reluctantly said goodbye to their husbands/sons/fathers, boarded the buses sent by their units, and headed to the county railway station, returning home and starting their own jobs.
Taotao also wants to go back to Lingxi Oasis.
Song Zhi saved up another week's vacation and accompanied her and her son back to the oasis.
The oasis, which had been covered by ice and snow for the entire winter, has quietly changed.
The sun is shining brightly and the ice and snow are gradually melting away.
The gurgling snow water seeps into the ground, replenishing the water source of the oasis Lingxi Lake. The area of Lingxi Lake has increased by almost half. The lake water is clear and you can see the bottom. The setting is the bright sun in the sky, the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the newly blooming light green buds on the treetops nearby...
The scenery is so beautiful.
Taotao couldn't help but draw a sloppy picture with a pencil and wrote a short letter to Guan Haishan.
"...I know you don't want to leave Grandma, so I didn't invite you. But the scenery here is too beautiful to be expressed in words, and I don't know how to paint, so I can only scrawl a few strokes for you. I hope you can have a good dream tonight when you receive this letter."
Then she used some spiritual power to draw a small dreamweaving spell on the letter paper.
When the water truck from the town's post office came to deliver water, Taotao asked the driver to send the letter.
After a winter, everyone in the oasis has changed.
Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun were covered up to look plump and white. I don’t know if it was because they had been alone together for too long, but they looked like a couple in love.
But Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun were also very happy to see Taotao.
Shi Yuxi told Taotao that, with the help and guidance of Deng Gaoyun, she had come up with a new topic for the paper. In the past two months, she had found a lot of materials and was almost ready. The draft was also ready, and she was just waiting for the teacher to read it and give her opinions...
But before that, she would still stay with Taotao and help Taotao take care of the greenhouse affairs.
Of course Taotao was very happy for Shi Yuxi.
Deng Gaoyun is about to set off for his own project greenhouse, which is about 200 kilometers away from here. He will set off as soon as spring comes and all the supplies are delivered.
However, Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun also reported to Taotao the weight of the firewood they earned from teaching villagers during the winter break when Taotao was away.
The three brothers and sisters thought about it and came to the conclusion: Taotao only taught the villagers for less than a month during the winter break and earned four yuan, while Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun taught for more than three months and each earned 18 yuan.
The money wasn’t much, but it was better than nothing, and it helped pass the time. The three of them were very happy.
Taotao did the math and gave the money to her senior brothers and sisters.
But Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun refused to accept him, saying that they had lived and eaten too well at Taotao's place for three months.
Taotao didn't say anything at the time. Later, when Deng Gaoyun left, Taotao stuffed his 18 yuan into an envelope, wrote a short message, and then put the money and the letter into his bag without anyone noticing.
As for the eighteen yuan from Shi Yuxi, Taotao decided to wait for the teacher to come and then return the eighteen yuan to Shi Yuxi through the teacher.
In the village, the mental state of the villagers is completely different from when Taotao first arrived a few months ago.
Maybe it was because she studied cultural subjects with Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun, she was educated and spoke more Mandarin. In the early days, Taotao also made requirements for their personal hygiene and neat dress...
Two months later, their hair was no longer messy, but was cut short and neat, their faces and hands were clean, and of course most of their clothes and pants were patched, but at least they were neatly sewn and washed clean. They looked much more polite and less bandit-like.
Zhou Chunni's change is the biggest.
Her due date is in March, which is just a few days away, and her belly is incredibly big. In just two months, her temperament changed dramatically.
Zhou Chunni used to be a little petty, kind of... she wanted to show off her husband's pride in being the team leader of the production team, but she also had an inferiority complex because she knew her family was poor and the team was even poorer.
Zhou Chunni now looks neat and sophisticated, her eyes are bright, her smile is confident, and she speaks with full energy. You can no longer see the deliberate flattery and ingratiation that she showed in the past.
As soon as she saw Taotao, she smiled, "We still have good feng shui here! After one winter, not only you are pregnant, but six wives in the team are pregnant! Not counting me, I am about to give birth... There are six in the team, plus you... You are the seven fairies!"
Tao Tao asked her with a smile, "Look at your temperament and the tone of your voice... It's completely different from before. It seems that you have gained a lot during this winter vacation!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Chunni couldn't stop smiling, raised her chin and said proudly: "The whole Xinhua Dictionary! Except for the difficult words at the end, I can't remember them all... I know all the other words! If you don't believe me, just pick one and test me!"
Taotao's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Of course not!" Zhou Chunni's eyebrows were raised with joy, and she lowered her voice and said, "... At the beginning, our head of the family said that if I could achieve the learning goals he set, he would take care of all the housework... In the end, he really took care of it all! However, I couldn't bear to let him do all the work alone..."
As she spoke, Zhou Chunni blushed.
Tao Tao laughed, looked down at Zhou Chunni's belly, and asked, "So you decided to give birth at home?"
"Well, give birth at home!" Zhou Chunni said, "We are not hypocritical and we are not afraid. Every woman in this village gives birth at home. I have already given birth to three children!"
"Are all those things prepared?" Taotao asked again.
Zhou Chunni, "There's nothing much to prepare. I just told a few people I know that when I have an attack, they will come over to help me!"
Then she asked Taotao, "When is your due date? Did you give birth to Xiao Feibai in the hospital? When your second child is born, don't be afraid. I will take care of you..."
The two chatted for a long time until Jiang Hongzhi came to find Taotao.
The snow has not completely melted yet, so there is not much farm work to do.
Jiang Hongzhi came to find Taotao because he wanted to take this opportunity to quickly build a greenhouse, in case the snow melted and the men had to go to work, so there would not be much time to build the greenhouse.
Taotao discussed it with Jiang Hongzhi - it would be almost impossible for the villagers to build a greenhouse like hers. But you can build one using traditional methods. The effect will certainly not be as good as her greenhouse, but it is definitely much better than planting in the open.
The materials are mud walls, wooden frames, straw mats, and the soft film discarded from her greenhouse.
——Strictly speaking, Taotao’s greenhouse is also a product of relative poverty. Because the funds allocated by her superiors were limited, her greenhouse was built with soft film and had very little glass.
Soft film is very cheap and has a short service life. Generally speaking, it needs to be replaced every two years. After experiencing a cold winter, even though Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi have taken good care of the greenhouse and inspected it almost every day... they cover it with felt cloth to protect the soft film as soon as it snows, the soft film shows signs of damage.
Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun received Taotao's instructions early in the morning to collect all the damaged soft films and leave them for the villagers to use.
Taotao explained to Jiang Hongzhi: In order to save soft film to the greatest extent, the villagers' greenhouses have mud walls at the bottom of the support and the top is built with broken and repaired soft film.
Jiang Hongzhi understood and immediately arranged for the villagers to work.
Some people were sweeping snow, building firewood, taking soil, and mixing soil to build walls; some people were repairing the broken soft shed; some people were looking for dead grass to weave into straw mats; some people followed Taotao into Taotao's greenhouse to grow vegetable seedlings...
The villagers are full of energy!
After all, before the New Year, Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun followed Taotao's instructions and distributed the mushrooms and ice grass grown on the rotten wood to the villagers again!
Seeing that Taotao can grow vegetables for everyone to eat repeatedly using such a small piece of land...
There is a raging fire burning in everyone's heart - even if their greenhouse is not as advanced as Comrade Bai's, it is definitely better than relying on the weather for food!
For a moment, everyone was full of energy!
In early March of the Gregorian calendar, Zhou Chunni and Jiang Hongzhi's fourth child was born.
Still a boy.
At the same time, the greenhouse of the villagers belonging to the Lingxi Oasis First Production Brigade was finally completed!
This thing is not as tall and spacious as Taotao's greenhouse...
It is ugly, small, and tattered like a garbage dump, but no one dislikes it and they enthusiastically gave it a name - Lingxi No. 1 Greenhouse.
Then, under Taotao's guidance, the villagers transplanted all the cultivated vegetable seedlings into the small greenhouse. They fetched water to water the seedlings and gently covered them with woven straw mats as instructed.
Next, the ice and snow melted, and the men, led by Jiang Hongzhi, went to work early and returned late every day. Not only do they have to complete any tree planting tasks assigned by the state, they also have to grow food for themselves - this barren land can only grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the production capacity is very low, so they can only plant on a large scale to feed the whole village.
Under the arrangement of Xiao Qingjuan and Taotao, the women took care of the vegetables in the small greenhouse and followed Taotao's advice to raise ducks.
Taotao’s consideration is: ducks can be slaughtered quickly, in four months, and at least two batches can be raised a year. Duck manure is the best fertilizer for the greenhouse. If we raise ducks now, we can eat duck eggs in August. However, the winters here are too cold and the ducks cannot survive the winter. It is just in time to sell all the ducks or distribute them to the villagers before the snow falls at the end of the year.
However, duck farming must be separated from the oasis to avoid water pollution.
At this time, the men had already started working intensively on the production team's tasks.
Led by Xiao Qingjuan, the women took their hoes to dig ponds and build dams beside the oasis. After the duck pond was dug and the ducklings were bought, Taotao asked people to buy some grass carp fry, black carp fry, black carp fry, as well as loaches, eels and other things to put in the duck pond.
Five hundred ducklings were raised in the duck pond, chirping all day long, which was really a joy to watch.
In April, the duck pond of the first production team of Lingxi Oasis was officially opened.
In her spare time, Taotao urgently opened two courses for the villagers: "Duckling Care" and "Fish Farming"...
From then on, women were also kept busy.
They don't have to worry too much about the small greenhouse, but the ducks and fish fry need to be fed scientifically, and what to feed them is a headache for them.
In the same month, Shi Yuxi received a letter from her father and brother saying that Zuo Tianhua had agreed to a divorce. However, her father and brother did not directly state in the letter how Zuo Tianhua agreed to it. They only told Shi Yuxi that the procedures were already being followed and if nothing unexpected happened, she would be able to get her and Zuo Tianhua's divorce certificate next month.
In May, the first season of greenhouse vegetables were planted in the small greenhouse, and every household in the brigade was allocated two kilograms of green leafy vegetables and two kilograms of fresh mushrooms!
Also, when Taotao arranged for the villagers to plant the first batch of vegetables, she chose quick-maturing vegetables such as cabbage and chives. That night, every household was making scallion pancakes, and many villagers gave Taotao scallion pancakes...
In June, the beans, eggplants, cabbages, pumpkins, winter melons, etc. grown in the small greenhouse had a good harvest.
Many people who have never left Lingxi have no idea how to eat these dishes!
At this time, Zhou Chunni had already finished her confinement. She carried her youngest son in a sling on her back and was busy teaching everyone how to make these dishes. She also taught everyone how to make dried vegetables from the harvested vegetables, so that they wouldn't have to eat just potatoes in the winter!
By July, there are more and more good things.
——Peppers, radishes, and various spices are produced in the small greenhouse.
——The first batch of duck eggs is released!
——The first batch of loaches are out of the pond!
The villagers were overjoyed.
In fact, this was the first year after all, and everyone was just trying to raise crops, so there were many varieties and small quantities, and each household did not get much. But it definitely satisfied everyone's long-standing speculation and curiosity about southern vegetables. Especially after trying the various pickled vegetables made by Zhou Chunni, and eating fried duck eggs with green onions and fried loach with perilla... everyone became even more enthusiastic!
At the end of July, Tang Liren and Zhou Xiaoni, the two of them, carried seven or eight large sacks of luggage on a shoulder pole, traveled a long way from their hometown and took several trains. They finally arrived in Lingxi County and met Song Zhi who had come to pick them up.
A day later, Song Zhi led Tang Liren and Zhou Xiaoni to Lingxi Oasis, exhausted.
In Tang Liren's imagination, the Northwest is a barren land covered with yellow sand, where the sky is blocked out by the wind.
In fact, when she sat in the back of the transport truck and lifted the curtain to look outside... the strong wind blew rough sand and gravel into her face.
It really hurts my face!
Tang Liren pouted and wanted to cry. She felt that this place was not a place to stay at all. How could a spoiled girl like her possibly endure it?
But after arriving at the oasis, Tang Liren saw the image of the oasis and was stunned again.
Along the way, the yellow sand everywhere is really tiring! But why is this oasis so beautiful?
——The deep blue lake water is clean and clear. There are many trees in the oasis. Although the forest area is not large, it is really pleasing to the eye. Reflected by the pure blue sky and cotton-white clouds...it turns out that this place is really as beautiful as Taotao described in the letter.
The most important thing is that Song Zhi led her along the way, and all the women greeted her enthusiastically -
"Is this Taotao's mom? Hello!"
"Mom Taotao, you're finally here! You've worked hard along the way!"
"Welcome, Taotao mom!"
"We are poor here, please don't mind!"
Tang Liren's first impression of this place was slightly better.
Then she saw a tall, neatly built house and two spacious greenhouses behind the house.
Tang Liren knew that this was where Taotao worked and lived.
It seems that Taotao did not live the miserable life she imagined...
However, Taotao is not at the research station at the moment.
She went to see the duck pond.
It was the women in the village who came to tell her that her mother had arrived. She then pulled Zhou Chunni along, and the two of them hurried towards the research station.
Taotao has been hiding it from Zhou Chunni, and Zhou Xiaoni will also come.
So Zhou Chunni just prepared a speech in her mind, thinking about how to greet Tang Liren when she met her later. Little did she know that as soon as she reached the entrance of the research station, she saw a pretty young girl coming up to her excitedly, looking at her with admiration and shouting, "...Sister!"
Zhou Chunni was stunned.
The only person who calls her "sister" is her younger sister Zhou Xiaoni.
When she left Ruyi Village, Xiao Ni was only twelve or thirteen years old! Until now...it has been nine years, no, it has been ten years...
so?
Zhou Chunni realized something and looked up and down at the beautiful and slender girl in front of her. She couldn't see any trace of the yellow-haired girl in the past...
But she still opened her eyes wide, took a deep breath, and asked tremblingly, "You, you...you are Xiao Ni'er?"
Zhou Xiaoni also looked at her sister whom she hadn't seen for ten years.
——The sister deep in my memory is pretty and slim, always frowning, with a worried look on her face, and her eyes are always filled with dissatisfaction and disgust.
The young woman in front of him still had the same facial features but with a hint of mature charm. Her figure was still slim, but her skin was much darker, her eyes were bright and determined, and she was carrying a baby on her back?
I don’t know when it started, but Zhou Xiaoni burst into tears, “Sister! Sister! Wuuuuu… I am Zhou Xiaoni! I, I… Wuuuu I hate you so much! I hate you so much wuuuu…”
Zhou Chunni was stunned for a long while, and suddenly burst into tears, "Xiao Ni! I'm sorry for you... I'm sorry for you! I left you at home when you were so young... I've been having dreams about the day I left... Xiao Ni!"
The two sisters hugged each other and cried.
On the other side, Taotao walked quickly to Tang Liren with her bulging belly and shouted with a smile, "Mom!"
Looking down again, I saw eight huge sacks scattered on the ground?
"Mom, are you here to escape?" Taotao asked.
Tang Liren hadn't seen her daughter for more than a year. When she saw her daughter again, her eyes were filled with tears and she wanted to cry...but then she suddenly heard her daughter say that she was here to escape?
Tang Liren, whose tears had already fallen out of her eyes, was amused again and glared at Taotao fiercely.
She also looked at Taotao.
——In the Northwest at the end of July, it is cold in the morning and evening, hot during the day, and the sun is scorching. Taotao was wearing old clothes: a loose red shirt with small flowers on it and blue pants on. She still had a slim figure, but her belly was bulging. Maybe because she was afraid of being exposed to the sun, Taotao wore a bamboo hat on her head with a soft and transparent scarf hanging under it.
At this moment, Taotao took off her hat and looked at her mother with a smile.
Then Tang Liren saw her daughter clearly—
Taotao is still the same, basically unchanged: delicate and beautiful facial features, tender and fair skin, long hair braided into a beautiful braid with a light yellow hairband tied at the end of her hair. Her temperament is still the same as before, delicate and lazy, and also vaguely carries the playfulness and eccentricity of her girlhood.
The most important thing is that Taotao looks very healthy - she has pink cheeks, she walked quickly and steadily, and she spoke with full energy.
Tang Liren was completely relieved and scolded, "How can you say that about your mother? In order to take care of you during childbirth and confinement, I spent so much effort to bring so many things here with Xiao Nier!"
Taotao quickly said to Zhou Xiaoni: "Thank you, Xiaoni!"
The Zhou sisters were wiping their tears together. Zhou Xiaoni quickly replied, "Sister Taotao... I don't deserve your thanks. If it weren't for Auntie bringing me here, I wouldn't have dared to travel so far by myself! And how could I have possibly seen my sister!"
Taotao smiled and said, "Just stay here with your sister. When my mom goes back with you, we can stop by Kyoto to visit your brother..."
Zhou Xiaoni's eyes lit up!
"Really?! I, I can still go to Kyoto?"
Taotao smiled and said, "Yes!"
Zhou Chunni was full of surprise and whispered, "Then, can I go to Kyoto as well?"
Tang Liren was already impatient and asked, "Taozi, where is my little Feibai?"
Taotao smiled again and shouted, "Fei Fei! Fei Fei?!"
"Mother!"
Almost as soon as Taotao shouted this, a childish voice responded.
Soon, Xiao Feibai and Niu Niu ran out of the research station hand in hand.
Seeing that Xiao Feibai had grown taller and became plump, white, cute, and chubby, Tang Liren's eyes instantly filled with tears. She rushed over and hugged Xiao Feibai, "Fei Fei!"
Xiao Feibai was stunned. When he left Kyoto, he was still young and no longer knew Tang Liren. At this moment he was hugged by Tang Liren, but his parents did not stop him. He felt a little restrained. He looked at his mother and then at his father, not knowing what to do.
"Fei Fei, hurry up and say hello to grandma!" Taotao said with a smile.
Xiao Feibai understood, "Hello, grandma!" The little guy hugged his grandma with his backhand.
Tang Liren burst into tears.
