Chapter 44: Dabaitao was angry when the plan failed
Taotao was very angry.
However, no matter how angry you are, you still have to live your life.
Song Zhi said that there were three things to do today: visit the supply and marketing cooperative, watch a movie and ride a bicycle.
The first two things have been completed, and the third thing is left - he promised to teach her how to ride a bike!
Taotao still really wants to learn how to ride a bike.
So she angrily followed Song Zhi to the Red Star Factory family compound, borrowed a bicycle, and then Song Zhi rode the bicycle and she sat on the back seat... The two rode to a deserted place on the outskirts of the city.
There were almost no pedestrians here, and the cement road was very smooth. Song Zhi took a long step, stopped the bike, let Taotao get off, and then let her push the bike for a few laps on the deserted road to get familiar with the inertia of a two-wheeled vehicle moving forward and backward... But Taotao had never touched a bicycle up close, and even pushing it made her feel very awkward.
Taotao is the kind of person who becomes more courageous when faced with more setbacks.
Can’t push? Can’t push it? Can’t push well?
Humph, then keep pushing the cart!
Taotao pushed the bicycle back and forth nearby dozens of times, and practiced going straight, turning, backward... and other actions countless times, and finally she was able to push it with ease.
Next, Song Zhi held the back seat of the bike and let Taotao try to ride on it.
However, being able to push a bike and being able to ride a bike are two completely different things.
Taotao's waist was so weak that when she stepped on it, the car didn't move at all, but she staggered from side to side because of nervousness...
Song Zhi ran many laps with her before she gradually got used to the balance of the two-wheeled vehicle, which took about three or four hours. Song Zhi trotted behind her, holding the back seat with his hand, and watched with satisfaction as Taotao rode crookedly.
"Song Zhi! You must hold on tight, don't let me fall..." Taotao shouted.
Song Zhi, "Don't worry——"
Then he let go.
Taotao rode her bicycle for a long distance, then slowly came back, and suddenly saw Song Zhi standing in front of her from a distance? ? ?
She understood immediately - this time he didn't hold her on the back seat of the bike, she rode here by herself!
"Song Zhi! Song Zhi, I can ride a bike now!" Taotao was so happy that she got carried away and subconsciously wanted to let go of the car's front and cheer!
Song Zhi was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he rushed towards her desperately -
"Don't let go! You must hold the front of the car! Keep your hands on the brake! You must keep your hands on the brake..." Song Zhi yelled in a hurry, his voice was out of tune.
As soon as Taotao's hand left the front of the car...
After being reminded by Song Zhiyi, she came to her senses and quickly grabbed the front of the car again, giggling.
Seeing that she had stabilized, Song Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and stood still.
Taotao rushed towards him on her bike, then turned around with a smile, went around in front, and came back... She rushed towards him again, then turned around in time...
Song Zhi looked at her heartless appearance, and thought of her angry expression when he threatened her at the entrance of the cinema...
I couldn't help but chuckle.
——Taotao is still so cute. Her temper comes and goes just as quickly. Don’t hide your anger when you are angry, and laugh out loud when you want to laugh?
Song Zhi's mood was also led by Taotao and became relaxed and happy.
Seeing that the sky was gradually setting, Song Zhi called Tao Tao, "We have to go back! We have to return the car first!"
Taotao was still very excited, "Come on, I'll take you!"
Song Zhi smiled, caught up with the car, stretched out his long legs, and sat firmly in the back seat of the car.
He said, "There are few people here, so you can take me with you. When we enter the city, there will be many people on the road, so I will have to take you with me..."
Taotao was very self-aware and said, "Okay!"
"The sun sets in the west and the sky is full of red clouds! Taotao rides her bike back home..." Taotao sang excitedly.
The cool autumn breeze blows on my face.
Song Zhi ran with the runner for the whole afternoon and was covered in sweat. He felt very comfortable as the gentle autumn breeze soothed him. He didn't know why, but he just felt very comfortable and happy, and started laughing for no apparent reason.
——It seems like I haven’t laughed so heartily in years?
After returning to the city, the two switched places. Song Zhi rode his bike to take her to the Red Star Factory family compound to return the bike, and then the two walked back to the guesthouse.
Song Zhi asked her if she wanted to go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.
Taotao shook her head. "I made an appointment with Xiaozhuzi. She will send bone soup to us at the guesthouse."
However, when Taotao walked up to a vendor pushing a cart selling braised duck, she smelled the rich aroma of the braised duck and was so greedy that she couldn't walk.
Song Zhi bought a braised duck and two braised eggs.
Taotao was very happy—she would have meat to eat in the evening!
After walking a few more steps, Taotao saw a fruit vendor. Looking at the big bright red apples, she couldn't help but weigh a few more apples...
When the two returned to the guesthouse, Taotao and Song Zhi's arms were already filled with all kinds of snacks...that Taotao wanted to eat.
At the door of their room, there were two covered enamel lunch boxes and a note.
[Taotao, a bowl of soup and a bowl of noodles. Bring the lunch box to me tomorrow morning. I'm going home first. Zhu. 】
Tao Tao said to Song Zhi, "I told you, Xiao Zhuzi will definitely bring us some soup!"
Song Zhi opened the door, and the two of them moved all the food into the room twice.
As soon as the door is closed——
The room was suddenly filled with the aroma of food!
The soup and noodles that Cheng Zhujun brought were still hot and could be eaten directly; the braised duck was also freshly taken out of the boiling brine, so it was fresh and hot. Taotao divided the food...Wow, today's dinner is really rich!
Each person gets a big bowl of pork and bone soup noodles, half a braised duck, a braised egg, an apple, peanut candy, pickled radish, etc...
Taotao had lunch early and rode her bike all afternoon, so she was very hungry. She hurriedly shouted to Song Zhi, "It's time to eat," and started eating in a hurry!
The milky and rich bone soup is fresh and delicious, the braised duck has a strong and rich flavor, and the meat is firm. It is really delicious! Dip the pork attached to the fat and soft bones in the braised duck sauce, the taste is even better! Feeling a bit sick after having a mouthful of meat? Take two bites of that big apple, or eat two pieces of pickled radish...that would be so delicious! Then take a sip of the rich and fragrant pork bone soup, life is so easy to be satisfied!
Taotao was very hungry, so she ate voraciously and quickly.
Before she knew it, she ate too much.
My belly is stretched so tight, it feels so uncomfortable!
Want to go out and eat? But she pedaled for too long today, and her legs were so tense... She felt very uncomfortable and couldn't walk.
So Taotao climbed onto the bed, knelt down, raised her two thin little fists, and began to practice the basic skills of grappling that Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin taught her.
Song Zhi tilted his head and observed her for a while.
——When Taotao first started practicing grappling, her movements were quite decent. But slowly, her movements became soft and smooth... then softer and softer, she even hummed the tune of a flowing brook, and even her fingers were raised, more like she was dancing?
[Taotao: I really only knew how to dance before! 】
Song Zhi laughed.
He slowly and methodically cleared away all the food that Taotao had left over, and then began to clean up.
Tao Tao quickly asked him, "Is my braised egg still there?"
"Here! I haven't eaten mine either, so I give them both to you!" Song Zhi said.
Taotao crawled to the end of the bed, confirmed that her boiled egg was still there, then glanced at the table again and said, "Come here!"
Song Zhi walked past without knowing why.
She suddenly reached out and rubbed his belly first.
——Flat?
He just ate so much food, where did he put it?
Taotao stretched out her toothpick-like slender finger and poked——
Song Zhi didn't know what she wanted to do, and subconsciously held his breath. As a result, Taotao's fingers poked the hard muscles? !
Song Zhi:? ? ?
Is it starting now? But he hadn't cleaned up yet, his hands were covered in oil...
Taotao touched her round belly again, then looked up at him with a puzzled look on her face, "You eat twice as much as I do... no, at least three times more! Why is your belly still flat? I, I..."
She looked down at her belly and tried to tighten it——
Well, as soon as she inhaled, her stomach became flat as usual. But as soon as she relaxed, her round, fat and soft belly bulged out again? !
Song Zhi laughed out loud.
If he wasn't cleaning up the mess and his hands weren't covered in oil, he would really want to touch her belly!
"I'm taller and heavier than you. Even if I do nothing, I'll still consume much more energy than you. Besides, we're both tired today... In fact, I haven't eaten enough yet. Even if you bring me another braised duck, I can still eat it." Song Zhi said.
Tao Tao thought for a moment and said, "Then don't you usually eat enough at home?"
Song Zhi, "I'm used to it."
After a pause, he explained, "Ruyi Village is not rich. Your family's food is already top-notch. The educated youth station still has one meal of porridge, one meal of coarse grains and wild vegetables, and one meal of bean rice!"
As he spoke, Song Zhi continued to clean up.
Tao Tao waved her fists fiercely, "Song Zhi! Believe it or not, I will let all the villagers eat rice and meat! In the future, I will also support you! Let you have a full meal every day! Eat meat!"
Song Zhi, who was about to go out to take out the trash and wash the dishes, stopped in his tracks.
He looked back and saw that she had rolled onto the bed, rolling back and forth like a meatball...
Song Zhi felt warm inside.
No one had ever treated him like this before.
He smiled, holding back the heat and sourness in the corners of his eyes, slung a thermos in each arm, and walked out holding an enamel bowl full of leftovers in both hands.
When he returned to the room with the thermos, Taotao had already tidied the room, the window was open for fresh air, and the aroma of the food had dissipated...
Tao Tao instructed him, "I put a few tea leaves in the cup. Pour some boiling water into it and let it brew to add some aroma to the room."
Song Zhi agreed with a smile and poured water into the ceramic cup.
In a moment, the room was filled with the delicate fragrance of tea.
Taotao's feet hurt, and she didn't want to get out of bed, so she ordered him around, "Song Zhi, close the window and the door... Don't drink that cup of tea. Drinking tea at night will make you unable to sleep and prone to waking up at night... Pour another cup of water and leave it there, in case I want to drink water at night..."
Song Zhi patiently followed Tao Tao's instructions, and felt that the room was filled with her gentle and sweet voice, which was really warm and cozy...
In fact, Taotao hadn't had a good rest these past few days. After directing for a while, she felt a little overwhelmed and fell asleep quietly on her bed.
Song Zhi was busy when he suddenly heard Taotao snoring?
Turning around, I saw——
Did she fall asleep lying on her stomach?
Maybe it was because she ate too much and she didn’t want to upset her stomach, so she fell asleep... kneeling on the bed?
Under her plump heart-shaped buttocks, there are two pink and slender little feet, which are really... so adorable!
Song Zhi stared at her for a long time, thinking about the cruel words she said at the entrance of the cinema today -
"I'm going to eat you! I'm going to go into the cornfield with you! Just wait and see tonight... Don't even think about escaping!"
Song Zhi was so angry that his teeth were itching!
——This little liar!
He walked to the bed, stared at her round and plump big peach buttocks for a long time, and suppressed the urge to slap her... Finally, he sighed, pulled the thin quilt over her, and covered her with it.
It is late autumn now and the nights are very cool. Be careful not to catch a cold.
Song Zhi went to wash up, came back, turned off the lights, went to his bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Taotao was sleeping in the middle of the night when she vaguely felt the fragrant spiritual energy coming from the bed next to her. Without thinking much, she crawled over.
Song Zhi was also sleeping soundly. As soon as Taotao crawled into his arms, he smelled the familiar faint white peach fragrance on her. He naturally opened his arms and hugged her tightly, and pulled his thin quilt over her to wrap her tightly.
The two of them fell asleep peacefully in each other's arms.
Then--
They both opened their eyes at the same time and looked at each other in a daze.
Taotao: I want to eat him!
Song Zhi: She wants to eat me?
Taotao threw back the quilt, nimbly moved forward to meet the man, and pinned him down firmly.
Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, and a certain part of his body...
"Taotao?" he said hoarsely, "Come down quickly!"
Tao Tao refused, "No! I must eat you today! I want to go into the cornfield with you! I want it! Unless you say no!"
Song Zhi was already feeling extremely uncomfortable, and she still said... he was not capable?
He just wanted to show her how powerful he was with real weapons, to let her know whether he was really capable or not!
But--
He patiently explained, "We are not married yet, and you are not yet 18 years old. What we are doing is wrong and against the law."
Tao Tao argued, "But we already live in the same room! Go ask people outside what it means for a man and a woman to live in the same room!"
Song Zhi: ...
"Taotao," he tried to reason with her, "I, I didn't say I wouldn't let you eat it, but we have to get married. After we get married, I'll be yours, and you can eat me however you want, okay?"
He blushed terribly.
Taotao still hates the idea of getting married.
However, she decided to answer in a way that a mortal like him could understand, "My parents seem to have always disagreed, right? They love me so much, but they don't agree with me marrying you..."
At this point, Tao Tao couldn't help but ask, "The reason they disagree is that they think I'm not worthy of you?"
Song Zhi was silent for a while and replied: "...Yes, but this is just one of the reasons."
"Any other reasons?"
Song Zhi, "They think I won't stay in Ruyi Village forever."
Taotao, "I won't stay in the village forever... I still have to go to college."
Song Zhi, "They love you too much. They are afraid that I will take you away. They are also afraid that you will be bullied by me and no one will help you."
Taotao understood.
But she won't let anyone bully her!
There is one more thing that Taotao has always been worried about, "Why do they think I am not worthy of you?"
Song Zhi replied softly: "They just think that I studied a few more years... But you have also been studying, maybe one day, you will be better than me..."
Taotao liked to hear this, "Yes, I will be better than you in the future!"
Song Zhi whispered, "Taotao, actually I am not worthy of you... because I haven't learned how to integrate into a family, I don't know how to treat my father and my brother, I don't even know how to treat you well, but you have always done well."
"Taotao, will you marry me?" Song Zhi begged her humbly, "Teach me how to start a family and how to love you. I'm not stupid. As long as you are willing to teach me and give me a chance to study hard, I will definitely learn it..."
Taotao still didn't want to agree.
——It is impossible for the little fairy of Mei Sect to get married.
However, she had been lying on him for a long time and had already felt his passion.
So she twisted...
Before Song Zhi could say a word, he groaned in stimulation and became speechless.
Even though he had never experienced it, he knew it was a hint, even...
Song Zhi's eyes turned dark and gloomy. He stared at Da Baitao and said in a hoarse voice, "Taotao, no... unless you marry me and are over 18 years old... otherwise..."
The big white peach had already pressed forward, staring at him with a pair of beautiful, crystal clear eyes, and bit him fiercely.
Song Zhi was completely fascinated.
At the same time, a pair of slender and cute little claws quietly stretched out, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, eager to go deeper into the mysterious realm...
But he caught her cruelly and mercilessly?
Taotao: Why is he still able to stay awake? Am I not eating well enough?
She tried her best to "eat" him, and when he was in a daze, she quietly stretched out her weak little claws...
but!
Why does he catch me red-handed every time?
Tao Tao failed several times and started crying, "Song Zhi! I want to go into the cornfield with you! I want to!"
Song Zhi gasped heavily and his hands and feet began to tremble.
——He was thankful for his self-control, which enabled him to keep the big white peach intact at countless critical moments; but he also hated why he was so obedient and held it in so much... Would he get hurt?
Finally, when he vaguely realized that he was about to lose control, he gritted his teeth and quickly overturned the big white peach...
Bai Taotao watched in amazement. She was clearly the one who had the upper hand and had him pinned down tightly, so how could he easily knock her over?
Song Zhi, with red eyes and heavy breathing, first forcibly fixed the big white peach, then rolled up the big white peach with a thin blanket, wrapped it tightly, and tucked the corners of the blanket tightly...
Dabaitao was tied up like a mummy!
Song Zhi then took a pair of shorts and stumbled to the bathroom.
Tao Tao was so angry that she yelled, "Song Zhi! I hate you! I hate you!"
Taotao cursed for a while, then felt tired, and the quilt made her feel comfortable again, and she slowly fell asleep.
Song Zhi stayed in the bathroom for a long time before he finally relaxed, calmed down, and washed himself. Then he returned to the room carrying his washed pants.
Tao. Caterpillar. Tao was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, but she was mumbling in her sleep, "Song Zhi... I hate you... I hate you..."
Song Zhi held his forehead with his hand.
He stood in front of the two beds and hesitated for a long time, and finally got into his own bed.
——Big White Peach is on his bed.
Song Zhi hugged the big white peach wrapped in the quilt, felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When they woke up the next day, they both had dark circles under their eyes.
Taotao still couldn't break free from the quilt, so she scolded him, "You big bad guy! Why don't you let me go quickly!"
Song Zhi hurriedly untied the quilt for her.
Taotao sat in the quilt, pouting her lips, her hair frizzy from not having had time to comb it, and she looked at Song Zhi with infinite grievance in her eyes.
Song Zhi: ...
Why did he suddenly feel guilty for no apparent reason?
This is wrong.
Taotao is not yet eighteen years old...
Song Zhi tried hard to sound more righteous and stern, "Taotao... stop making trouble. I will tell your parents about the marriage when I get back. It would be best if we get engaged before the New Year. Next year when you turn 18, we will... get married. After we get married, you can eat me however you want..."
He was clearly in the right, but later on, his tone became humble.
Taotao was almost mad, "I don't want to believe you! You, you... resisted me! You even tied me up!"
"sorry……"
"Will you tie me up again in the future?"
"No more."
"What if you tie it again?"
Song Zhi, "I..."
Tao Tao said angrily: "If you tie me up again, you'll be a roasted sweet potato!"
Song Zhi: ...
What’s wrong with baked sweet potatoes? It tastes fragrant and sweet, doesn’t she love it very much?
But she was angry at the moment, so Song Zhi nodded, said "hmm", and couldn't help rubbing her furry head.
Taotao immediately enjoyed the rich and fragrant spiritual energy and couldn't help but squint her eyes to show an expression of enjoyment.
Song Zhi stared at Taotao.
——Are you satisfied with this?
He couldn't help but laugh and rubbed her head a few more times.
Taotao calmed down, got up and washed up, and the two of them packed their luggage and went to the service area on the first floor to check out.
It was Aunt Guihua's turn to be on duty today. When she saw Taotao and Song Zhi, she was stunned for a moment, "...Taotao?"
Tao Tao called out "Aunt Guihua" sweetly, then took out a bag of clothing accessories, lace, buttons, etc. that she had packed earlier and handed it to Aunt Guihua, "Good morning! Song Zhi and I are going home!"
Aunt Guihua looked at the innocent Taotao, then at the blushing Song Zhi, and then at the housing registration book...
"You two have been here for three days, and you're living in the same room?" Aunt Guihua asked.
Taotao nodded.
Song Zhi didn't dare to say anything.
Aunt Guihua didn't know how to ask for a moment, and finally stammered, "If... there are not enough rooms in the guesthouse, Taotao, you can come to me and sleep at my house... that's fine too!"
Taotao, "There are two beds in the room!"
Song Zhi, "I will ask Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai for marriage when I get back!"
Aunt Osmanthus: ...
In the end, I had no choice but to complete the formalities for the two of them.
Next, Song Zhi asked Taotao to wait in the guesthouse while he went to find Cheng Zhujun to get the ordered pork. After a while, Uncle Qin, Song Zhi and Cheng Zhujun came back carrying large and small bags. Aunt Guihua saw that Taotao had a lot of luggage, so she quickly called her son and brother-in-law to come over to help carry the luggage and sent Taotao and Song Zhi to the long-distance bus station.
Uncle Qin went to Cheng Zhujun's place early in the morning to keep an eye on Taotao.
He knew that Taotao and Song Zhi lived in the guesthouse, but he didn't ask which room number they stayed in. He thought it would be inappropriate to go to their house rashly, so he simply waited for them at Cheng Zhujun's place.
Uncle Qin said to Taotao, "Taotao, I asked our colleagues to try the braised pork yesterday. Everyone was very interested. So, our restaurant manager decided to visit your village in a few days to inspect your pigs and other side dishes. I came here specially to say hello to you..."
Tao Tao was overjoyed. "Uncle Qin, if this deal goes through, I'll give you a basket of wild mushrooms. They're so delicious!"
Uncle Qin laughed, "Only worth a basket of wild mushrooms?"
Tao Tao thought for a moment and said, "How about adding another bottle of shrimp chili sauce? The shrimp chili sauce my mom makes is really delicious, and it's perfect when dipped in steamed buns and noodles!"
"Okay!" Uncle Qin laughed heartily.
Everyone worked together to tie Taotao's luggage to the roof of the bus, and then sent Taotao and Song Zhi onto the bus.
Cheng Zhujun remembered something and quickly took out something from his pocket, waving his hands desperately towards Taotao.
Taotao wants to open the glass car window——
Can't open.
Song Zhi helped her open it.
Taotao just heard Cheng Zhujun's voice, "Taotao, you have a younger sister named Xingxing, right? Someone sent her a letter and sent it to me... Please pass the letter to her!"
Taotao took the letter handed to her by Cheng Zhujun.
It says "Bai Xing Xing" in neat and elegant handwriting on it?
It's obviously the handwriting of a young man!
Song Zhi suddenly took the letter from Tao Tao.
Taotao was a little surprised and turned to look at Song Zhi.
Song Zhi's face looked a little gloomy.
He stared at the words on the envelope for a while, then returned the letter to Taotao with an expressionless face.
Tao Tao asked curiously, "Do you know this person...who wrote to Xing Xing?"
Song Zhi was silent for a long time, then replied, "Maybe I saw it wrong."
"ah?"
"This handwriting looks a bit like my brother's, and the postmark is similar too," he said softly.
Tao Tao became even more curious, "How old is your brother? How does he know Xing Xing?"
Song Zhi, "He is the same age as me, but a month younger. I don't know how he knew Xing Xing... It's possible that I misread the handwriting."
Taotao put the letter away.
The shuttle bus started.
Taotao waved to Cheng Zhujun, Uncle Qin, Aunt Guihua's son and uncle-in-law——
Almost as soon as the bus started, Taotao leaned against Song Zhi and fell asleep.
At noon, when the bus stopped at another town station, Song Zhi bought two roasted sweet potatoes and two bags of egg fried rice wrapped in lotus leaves from a vendor, which was just enough for his afternoon meal.
When it was getting dark in the evening, the bus finally stopped about ten miles away from Ruyi Village.
Tang Liren, Bai Lili, Uncle Bai and cousin Yongjun were already waiting on the roadside.
Taotao jumped out of the car and called everyone "Mom", "Second Uncle", "Brother Yongjun", "Sister Lizi"...
Tang Liren responded and first rubbed her daughter's head. Then, under Song Zhi's instructions, she carried down all the large and small bags tied to the roof of the car.
Taotao felt it was amazing, "Mom! How did you know I brought so much luggage back? And you waited here specially..."
Tang Liren scolded, "How could I not understand you?"
Bai Lili also smiled and said, "You love shopping the most! Look... Oh my God, what are these?"
Taotao listed them all, "These are the cloths I bought, these are the clothing accessories I bought! This sack is pork! These are sent by Aunt Qin, these are sent by Xiao Zhuzi, these are..."
As they were talking, their relatives helped carry the large and small bags, and Taotao led the way with a flashlight. They hurriedly walked for about an hour before finally arriving home in the dark.
Red beans and yellow beans running in and out——
"Fourth Aunt is back!"
"Gu! Fat!"
Taotao pinched Xiaohuangdou's soft cheeks and said, "You are fat!"
Little Soybean tried to speak, "Gu-fei-is-here!"
Taotao gave Little Yellow Bean a kiss.
Little Huangdou covered his face and ran away to laugh secretly.
Hongdou was unconvinced, "Fourth Aunt, Fourth Aunt! I saw you first!"
Taotao also gave Hongdou a kiss on the cheek.
Red Bean chuckled...
Tan Fenghui, carrying her baby on her back, also greeted Taotao with surprise, "Taotao is back?"
Taotao hugged her, "Sister-in-law! I miss the potato flour you made so much!"
Tan Fenghui was both amused and confused.
Taotao ran behind her sister-in-law again, teased the baby for a while, and then ran into the house, "Dad! I'm back!"
Bai Zhenggan was leaning on his crutches and preparing to get off the ground. "My dear, you're back? You must have had a hard time on the journey, right?"
"It's not hard! I slept all the way... Dad, why are you working in the fields?" Taotao asked.
Bai Zhenggan said, "I'll get you some clothes! It's getting colder every day, and the nights are even colder than the days... My dear, put on some more clothes, it's cold at night!"
"Don't move, I'll get it myself!"
Bai Xingxing hurriedly brought the hot food from the kitchen, "Fourth sister, Brother Song Zhi, are you hungry? Come and eat! Mom! Third sister...you two come and eat too! Second uncle, Brother Yongjun, you two should eat something too?"
Tao Tao asked, "Have you all eaten?"
Bai Zhenggan, "We've all eaten!"
"I'll go in and wash my face first!" Taotao hurried into the inner room.
By the time she had packed herself up, her second uncle and brother Yongjun had already gone back. Tang Liren cut more than a pound of pork belly and forced the two of them to take it back.
Song Zhi also washed up and came over to eat together.
Tang Liren and Bai Lili didn't eat either because they were waiting for Taotao, so the four of them sat around the table to eat.
——The staple food is simple white rice, and there are two dishes, one is stir-fried dried mushrooms and pickled vegetables with chili peppers, and the other is stir-fried cucumbers with perilla, plus a bowl of cabbage leaf and egg skin soup.
However, Taotao felt that the taste of this home-cooked dish was particularly delicious!
Better than braised pork!
Oh, right, braised pork!
Taotao finished her meal in a hurry, added a bowl of vegetable leaf and egg skin soup, and drank it slowly while telling him about her meeting Uncle Qin in the city (she blurred out the fact that she met the kidnapper) and her initial experience in selling live pigs.
Bai Zheng was stunned.
The whole family was stunned.
After a long while, Bai Zhenggan murmured, "Every quarter...sell twenty live pigs?"
There are 20 live pigs, each weighing 180 kilograms. The supply and marketing price is about 0.41 kilograms, so one pig is 72 yuan, and 20 pigs are 1,400 yuan! There are 183 households in the village. On average, a family can earn about eight yuan per quarter!
Plus the sales of ginger, onion and garlic…
Well, maybe when the people from the state-owned restaurant Tank come over to inspect, we can sell some other things?
Then every household in the village can increase their income by ten yuan every quarter!
Even more!
What can you do with ten dollars?
Ten yuan can buy sixty or seventy kilograms of rice! I can go to the city to buy some soap and laundry detergent! I can buy some snacks, paper and pens for the children! I can buy some hairbands and new clothes for the young girls and wives! I can buy a pair of Jiefang shoes for the old man and buy two kilograms of bulk wine...
The family members were all shocked!
Xing Xing was the first to come to her senses, "Fourth sister! You are so awesome!"
Tao Tao took a sip of the soup slowly. "I am not that great. Now it all depends on my dad. After all, whether we can reach an agreement with the state-owned restaurant depends on the support of my dad and the villagers!"
Bai Zhenggan waved his hand and said, "I will hold a mobilization meeting tomorrow! We must get this done!"
Tang Liren was a little worried. "But our village only has about twenty pigs. We were planning to slaughter them and share the proceeds among the whole village at the end of the year!"
Bai Zhenggan said, "You are a woman, what do you know? If it doesn't work, let's go to Jixiang Village to borrow some pigs and keep them in our pigsty. After we deal with this, it doesn't matter if our village doesn't distribute pork this year. In the future, we should vigorously develop pig, chicken, duck and goose farming... It would be best if we could raise sheep as well!"
"These tasks can be handed over to the women in the village. Give them more work to do, so that they don't have to do nothing all day long and gossip in the village, discussing this and that..." Bai Zhenggan said dissatisfiedly.
Taotao interrupted, "What's the latest news in the village?"
Bai Zhenggan, "It's okay!"
Tang Liren: "It's none of our business!"
Tan Fenghui, "Nothing happened!"
Bai Lili, "Taozi, that has nothing to do with us!"
Bai Xingxing, "It's okay! Nothing happened!"
Taotao: ...
Hongdou said loudly, "Fourth Grandma brought some people to the cornfield to intercept Fourth Grandpa and catch him in adultery, but she ended up intercepting Uncle Fugui! The other daughters-in-law stole Uncle Fugui and Widow Tang's pants... Uncle Fugui was embarrassed and wanted to kill Fourth Grandma!"
Taotao was stunned.
Song Zhi was also somewhat moved.
——Is it so exciting?
Everyone kept this secret from Taotao and Song Zhi because... firstly, Song Zhi was still an outsider, and secondly, Song Zhi and Taotao were both young man and woman, and it would be so embarrassing to talk about this matter specifically!
But now that Hongdou has exposed the secret, no one is hiding it anymore.
Tang Liren said, "Widow Tang has a bad reputation in the village. When your fourth aunt heard that she and your fourth uncle were having an affair, she called people to catch them in the cornfield. She also assigned tasks to the wives, such as who should beat the gong, who should grab the pants, who should grab the hair... In the end, they did catch someone, but it wasn't your fourth uncle, it was Fuguier!"
"I also heard it from others. They said Fuguier was completely naked, while Widow Tang had a little clothing to cover herself... Anyway, the two of them ran away separately. After Fuguier returned, he took a kitchen knife and tried to chop your Fourth Aunt. Your Fourth Aunt then ran around the village twice and finally ran to our house... Fuguier didn't dare to go into the house, so he left."
"Later, your Fourth Aunt refused to leave our house. I went to ask Fugui how he wanted to solve the problem. He said he wanted to marry Widow Tang! And he wanted to separate from your Fourth Aunt! Oh my, Fugui is only seventeen this year, and Widow Tang is already thirty-seven!"

Your grandma came over and scolded us, saying that the fourth branch was about to be wiped out, and your father was unwilling to intervene... Her intention was, first, that we should go and talk to Widow Tang and ask her to give up the idea of marrying Fugui'er; second, she wanted us to pay money and quickly find a good marriage for Fugui'er to put an end to his thoughts..." Tang Liren explained.
Tao Tao cursed: "She is dreaming!"
Tang Liren, "Anyway, the family has been divided now, and we don't want to get involved in the affairs of the fourth room."
Taotao nodded, "Yes, we must not get involved in this kind of thing!"
Tang Liren explained, "Yan Naqian is still in the village, and now there's the Fuguier incident... When you guys go out to work or go out, don't be alone, and keep the gate closed at all times! I've asked someone to tell your uncle to lend us two dogs when he's free, so they can guard the house! We'll talk about it after Yan Naqian leaves and Fuguier's incident is resolved."
All the children responded in unison.
