Chapter 53: Liu Xuexu
Taotao saw such a person at the market.
He was a middle-aged man with a rat-like face. He wore a dirty and blackened white shirt inside and a dark blue Zhongshan suit outside that was washed out and a little dirty.
Judging from his appearance, if you only look at his upper body, you would think that he looks like an intellectual, but his temperament is a bit vulgar.
But he was wearing a pair of muddy Liberation shoes, and the corners of his pants were covered in mud...it looked a bit out of place.
Like a... traveling swindler.
He was carrying a basket covered with a pillowcase, and he was humming a little tune as he walked...
He suddenly saw Taotao.
The man's eyes lit up and he looked Taotao up and down.
Taotao was beautiful. She was wearing a floral cotton dress with a white cotton vest on the outside, blue pants and a pair of leather shoes. Her clothes were not new or expensive, but it was obvious that she was brought up in a well-educated family.
In other words, this girl must be rich!
The man came over and said, "Little sister, can I tell you a story?"
Taotao was stunned.
She had almost labeled this man a charlatan based on his appearance.
But he wanted to tell her a story right away?
Taotao nodded generously, "Okay!"
The man cleared his throat and said, "The story goes back to the Qing Dynasty... In order to avoid the Eight-Nation Alliance, Empress Dowager Cixi fled to Shanxi overnight. When she arrived in Shanxi, she was very tired and thirsty... It was three o'clock in the morning, and everything was quiet. Empress Dowager Cixi took out a watch..."
"Wow!!!"
The man suddenly shouted loudly, scaring Taotao!
His eyes widened as he stared into space as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and he said, "I saw all kinds of gold, silver and treasures inlaid on that watch... That light illuminated half the sky! It was so dazzling that it was blinding!"
As he spoke, he even stretched out his hand to shield his eyes, as if he had been blinded by the unfounded glitter of jewels.
Taotao wanted to laugh, but held it back with all her might.
The man continued, "... Then, there was no one around, and when the common people saw how it was suddenly daybreak in the middle of the night, they came out to see that it was the Empress Dowager Cixi! So everyone lined up and offered all kinds of delicious food to the Empress Dowager Cixi..."
"Among them, there is a kind of ruby grape! The taste is really unique..." Then the man asked Tao Tao, "Little sister, do you want to taste the taste of ruby grape?"
Taotao nodded in support.
The man lifted the pillowcase on the bamboo basket slung over his arm, and as if he was seen by someone, he secretly lifted a corner to let Taotao see.
Taotao saw a few bright red round things, but they were definitely not grapes.
I was about to take a serious look at——
But the man pulled the pillowcase and covered the basket tightly. Then he acted very arrogant and said to Tao Tao: "How about it, little sister, do you want to try what the gem grapes that Empress Dowager Cixi ate look like?"
Tao Tao said crisply: "I don't want to!"
The man said affectionately, "My little sister, it is fate that we met today! If you want to try the taste of these gem grapes... then I will charge you a friendly price, one dollar per grape! If it were someone else, let alone wanting to taste it, even if they just wanted to take a look at it, they would be dreaming!"
Xing Xing laughed, "Hey, are you blind? My sister said - she doesn't want to try!"
The man was stunned.
Taotao tugged at Xingxing and said, "Let's go!"
The man got anxious and chased after her, "Hey, little sister! Wait a minute, little sister...Empress Dowager Cixi ate grapes and you don't even want to try them...the taste is heavenly!"
"You can go to heaven by yourself!" Taotao said.
The man pestered her, "Wait a minute, little sister. If you are not interested in the gem grapes, I have another treasure here! Really... That watch that Empress Dowager Cixi wore, do you want it? I'll sell it to you cheaply... Ten dollars! Ten dollars... Little sister, don't run away... Five dollars! Five dollars for you! Hey, do you want one dollar?"
Taotao and Xingxing had already run away laughing.
However, Yan Naqian limped and finally moved slowly to the market, and saw Tang Liren, Aunt Bai and Zhou Xiaoni who were setting up stalls.
Yan Naqian sneered, thinking that they were making so much noise just now just to grab a good spot to set up their stall?
Take a closer look -
It seems like the people coming to the market are really... all here to barter?
For example, someone is carrying a green glass bottle, which is filled with brown liquid, like rapeseed oil? The man handed the rapeseed oil to Zhou Xiaoni, who then handed over a bag of something wrapped in a large leaf with surprise and delight...
It seemed that Zhou Xiaoni and the man got what they wanted and were very happy. They even chatted for a while.
Tang Liren also touched Zhou Xiaoni's head with a smile.
Yan Naqian continued to stare at Tang Liren and the others.
There were also people standing in front of Tang Liren's stall looking through the things. After discussing for a while, the two sides exchanged some things, but most of them either failed to reach an agreement or Tang Liren didn't like their things, so they just looked at them and left...
Yan Naqian found it quite boring and thought there was nothing good to report, so she turned around to look for Song Zhi.
She didn't find Song Zhi, but saw Bai Taotao, Xingxing, Caixiamei, Hongdou and Huangdou.
——They were standing in front of a vendor, probably buying maltose.
Maltose is sticky and soft, so the vendors will sprinkle some cooked flour on the maltose and then sandwich it with mint leaves.
When eating, eat it with mint leaves. The maltose inside is sweet, and the mint leaves outside exude a fresh and slightly bitter taste...
She was eating red beans and yellow beans with a smile on her face. Xingxing and Caixia also took one each. Xingxing seemed to be asking Taotao why she didn't want any. Taotao shook her head desperately. I don't know what she said, but everyone laughed.
Yan Naqian felt it was dazzling.
——In her past and present lives, she had neither close sisters nor friends she could get along with, and she had no way to experience the friendship between Bai Taotao and her sisters and family members.
Yan Naqian turned her head away, thinking about her plans for the day.
She didn't mean to be annoying.
She must take down Song Zhi today!
If you can't win Song Zhi's favor by using a conciliatory policy, don't blame her for being rude.
Yan Naqian began to look around this small town and searched through her original body's memories.
That’s good, because the original body had also been eager to go back to the city, so she had established some relationships in the town.
Yan Naqian thought about it for a while and then smiled.
She stood up and was about to leave, but the sharp pain from the soles of her feet made the expression on her face distorted instantly!
She looked down—the soles of her leather shoes had been worn through, and even her socks had a hole in them!
At this moment, Yan Naqian couldn't help but grit her teeth.
If she had not been so stubborn and followed Bai Taotao's advice to take the bus to town in the morning, she would not have been so embarrassed. Originally I only had to pay two cents for the ticket, but now I have to spend at least seven or eight dollars to buy a new pair of leather shoes.
The most troublesome thing is that she doesn’t have a shoe ticket yet!
Forget it,
Yan Naqian had no choice but to drag her aching feet and stiff and sore legs around the market. Finally, she gritted her teeth, took out a dollar from her already meager savings, and bought a pair of handmade black cloth shoes from a customer.
In the past, Yan Naqian looked down upon these handmade cloth shoes.
Coming from the modern era, she certainly knows how to match clothes - no matter how beautiful her clothes are, as long as she doesn't wear the right shoes, the whole outfit will be ruined.
So she never wears these cloth shoes that look particularly rustic.
But today...
She really had no money, so she had to buy a pair of shoes to wear temporarily in order to avoid suffering.
The burning and extremely painful soles of her feet finally touched the soft soles of her cotton shoes, making Yan Naqian feel a little relieved.
She immediately warned herself not to delay any longer. She had to think of a way immediately to confirm her "romance" with Song Zhi and force him to marry her.
Yan Naqian followed her memory and walked into a compound for the families of government officials.
She knew there was an empty room in there.
In order to return to the city, the original body had once made love with a young man here in that empty room.
Because today was market day, the family compound was unattended, so Yan Naqian walked straight into the compound, and after many twists and turns, she finally found the secluded house.
This is a row of dilapidated bungalows with about seven or eight rooms. It is usually uninhabited, but each room is fully equipped with beds, bedding, quilts, cabinets, tables and chairs. These houses are used as guest houses by the unit. When people from higher-ups or other sister agencies come to negotiate work and need temporary accommodation, they are allowed to stay in these houses.
And these houses are usually not taken care of by anyone.
Only when they have confirmed that someone is about to move in will the company arrange for someone to come and clean the house.
Yan Naqian pretended nothing had happened and walked along the corridor naturally to confirm that none of the seven rooms were occupied. Then, following her memory, she took out the key from behind a newspaper box hanging next to one of the rooms, opened the door and went in.
There was indeed a bed in the room, with bedding and quilts on it, as well as a coat rack, a cabinet and a table. The layout was better than that of the guesthouse outside, except that there was a musty smell from the doors and windows being closed for a long time.
Yan Naqian bravely walked over and opened the window.
The cold autumn wind blew in her face, making her shiver unconsciously.
She sat in a chair by the window and slowly calmed down.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.
So is she sure she wants to take this step?
What if not?
Yan Naqian closed her eyes.
——What if not? Then she... might really be trapped in that small mountain village, and might have to do farm work every day and become a complete rural woman.
No, I'm not willing to accept that.
So what's the point of her traveling through the book?
After experiencing your own failure in life, would you like to experience someone else's failure? !
Yan Naqian took a deep breath.
She must leave this damn Ruyi Village and go back to the city!
She went over the original plot again in her mind:
Her first marriage with Song Zhi gave her the opportunity to return to the city.
Her second marriage to Song Sui brought her huge wealth.
Marrying the supermodel girl for the third time, she gained supreme pleasure and interest!
Now, she has to take the first step.
Yan Naqian sat in the room for a while, listening carefully to the movements nearby.
There was absolutely no movement.
Come to think of it, today is Sunday and this is a government agency. Even if someone comes to town on business, they won't arrive on Sunday.
so……
This is such a wonderful place!
Yan Naqian calmed down, took the key and went out.
Thanks to the fact that today is market day, almost everyone in the government housing estate has gone to the market, so there is no one in the yard. Even if there was, when people saw the young and beautiful Yan Naqian, they would not think that she had any bad intentions.
Yan Naqian walked out of the yard.
A few children were squatting and playing at the gate of the courtyard.
Yan Naqian silently observed the children, and then went outside to find Song Zhi.
The town is not big.
Yan Naqian spent some time and finally found Song Zhi - he was squatting in front of an old man who was wearing tattered clothes, and it seemed that he was... fiddling with waste?
Yan Naqian frowned.
She stared at Song Zhi - Song Zhi was wearing a dark blue shirt with a white cotton vest over it. Originally, there were only two colors of men's shirts available for supply and marketing, either white or dark blue. But when paired with a white cotton wool vest, it looks particularly elegant and refined.
And then there's his tall, thin body, his strong, muscular body...
Yan Naqian licked her lips, turned and left.
She spent one cent to buy a piece of maltose, hurried back to the gate of the agency's family compound, and called a little boy of six or seven years old to come over.
"Little boy, auntie has some maltose here, do you want to eat it?"
The child stared at the maltose in Yan Naqian's hand, drooling with greed, and nodded vigorously.
Yan Naqian, "Then can you do something for your aunt? If you do it, I'll give it to you."
The child nodded again.
Yan Naqian smiled and led the child away to the entrance of the alley where Song Zhi was staying. She pointed at Song Zhi and said to the child, "Auntie will give you this maltose now. After you finish eating it, go find the uncle in the blue shirt and white vest and tell him, 'Bai Taotao is in danger. She is waiting for you in the innermost room of the row of houses in the bamboo forest behind the grain management office'... Do you understand?"
The child only had maltose in his eyes and nodded desperately.
Yan Naqian was still a little worried and asked the child to repeat it.
The child was not from that unit at all, and had no idea what the Grain Management Office was. He just had an excellent memory and repeated it several times without any mistakes.
Yan Naqian felt relieved.
She hurried back to the agency's family compound and began to prepare and wait anxiously.
But what she didn't know was that the child was happily licking the maltose... Only after he finished eating did he remember what Yan Naqian had told him, but he completely forgot that long and complicated sentence.
I only remember the first sentence "Bai Taotao is in danger"...
After hesitating for a long time, the child jumped to find Song Zhi, "Uncle! Bai Taotao is in danger!" After that, the child ran away.
Song Zhi:! ! !
He was so anxious that he didn't bother to sort things out with the old man who was collecting rubbish. He chased after the old man and grabbed the child. "Little boy, what did you say? What happened to Bai Taotao?"
The child looked confused.
Song Zhi patiently questioned the child for a while and came to a conclusion - the person who gave the child a piece of malt sugar and asked him to report the news was a young aunt, and her clothes were not Taotao, but more like Yan Naqian?
However, the child could not remember the second half of what Yan Naqian told him from beginning to end. He was so timid that he dared not speak at all. After telling everything, he ran away quickly.
Even so, Song Zhi was still very worried. He turned around and said a few words to the old scavenger, then hurried out of the alley and ran to find Taotao.
Yan Naqian sat in the room waiting, feeling both excited and thrilled.
She could foresee that Song Zhi would rush into this room for Bai Taotao's safety...
She didn't expect anything to happen between them. After all, judging from his usual behavior, Song Zhi had always been cold and indifferent to her, and Bai Taotao was prettier than her...
The most likely thing is that Song Zhi saw it was her and left quickly.
But once he comes, he can't leave.
Yan Naqian smiled slightly.
She took off her bra, left her shirt loosely covering her body, and waited quietly.
——Whenever Song Zhi came, she took off her shirt, hugged him, and shouted for help.
In this simple era, doing this was enough to lock her and Song Zhi together.
As for whether Song Zhi likes Bai Taotao?
It has nothing to do with her.
She just wanted to go back to the city, just to go back to the city, and it didn't matter if she had a marriage of convenience with Song Zhi.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with living a married life with Song Zhi. Having a man who is so handsome and has such a strong body, it must be very enjoyable to have sex with him.
Yan Naqian slowly fell into admiration.
In a trance, I don’t know how much time has passed...
Yan Naqian gradually became a little anxious.
——Although she asked the child to finish eating the maltose before going to find Song Zhi, but... the child wouldn't have eaten maltose for an hour or two, right?
Could it be that something unexpected happened?
Yan Naqian planned to put on her clothes and go out to take a look...
As a result, before I even got dressed, someone was walking towards me while talking?
Yan Naqian was overjoyed!
——Song Zhi is here! ! !
In order to make it easier for Song Zhi to "break in", Yan Naqian did not lock the door. She did not even close the door, but just left it ajar.
At this moment, she quickly took off her top... After thinking about it, she took off her pants as well, and then her mood became excited.
A vague voice belonging to a man sounded——
"...No one comes here normally, so you can just stay here peacefully..."
At this moment, Yan Naqian felt like something was wrong.
But the door has been opened.
Two or three men and women filed in.
Yan Naqian couldn’t hold back her momentum and threw herself directly into the arms of the man in the lead, “Song…Ahhhhhhh! Help!”
Everyone was stunned.
Yan Naqian was even more panicked, "Who are you?"
The man she hugged tightly was a short and small man in his thirties. He was stunned when he was suddenly hugged by a young girl.
The rest of the people were not much better.
Two women were frightened and shouted "Oh my God, someone is committing adultery here" and then turned around and ran away.
The remaining two middle-aged men stared in amazement at Yan Naqian and the skinny man hugging each other...
One of them shouted angrily, "What are you doing? It's immoral!" Then he walked away in anger.
The other man looked ashen, and glared at Yan Naqian and the thin man fiercely, then chased the man in front of him out, crying, "Section Chief Hao! Section Chief Hao, please wait a moment... I, we..."
Yan Naqian was stunned.
sky!
Why did this mess happen?
The man who was tightly hugged by Yan Naqian took a breath and asked, "Comrade, who are you?"
Yan Naqian came back to her senses and stared at the man.
——The man looked to be in his thirties and did not resist being hugged tightly by her. He has a small frame and looks shorter than Yan Naqian. His eyes are fixed on Yan Naqian's pair of snow-white breasts with a lewd look in his eyes.
Yan Naqian screamed, pushed the man away desperately, and then hurriedly picked up her clothes and tried to put them on.
But the more flustered she was, the worse her clothes became...
The man just stood behind her, not saying anything, not leaving, just staring at her.
The two women who had run away earlier stood outside, and one of them shouted loudly: "Xiao Zhao! Xiao Zhao... Director Wang asked, who is that woman? Did you hide the person in there?"
Another person said, "Xiao Zhao, Director Wang said to report it to the police station!"
Yan Naqian shuddered.
——Report to the police station? ? ?
No, it's not possible!
She has already been to the police station once, she can't go there a second time!
The man asked her, "Comrade, who are you? Why are you in the guesthouse of our unit? And you look like this..."
Yan Naqian finally put on her clothes, turned around, looked at the man surnamed Zhao, and hurriedly explained, "Brother Zhao, I, I took the wrong road... Really, I didn't know this was the guesthouse of your unit, I, I got to the wrong place."
This Xiao Zhao is a smart guy.
Even if he didn't know Yan Naqian's true thoughts, he had already grasped her weakness, which was a fact.
He stared at her pretty face, the beautiful scene just now appeared in his mind, and smiled, "No way? Female comrade, you broke into our unit's guesthouse without permission. We don't know how many times you have been here, what you have taken away... Besides, do you know who you have offended? That person is Director Hao who came here to collect grain. I tell you, this matter is not acceptable, and you can't get away with it by just saying a few words."
Yan Naqian was so anxious, "I'm really lost..."
Xiao Zhao, "I can't help you with this."
Yan Naqian was startled, then came to her senses, "Brother Zhao, I'll give you money! Can you help me and help me find a solution?"
As she spoke, she took out all the money from her trouser pocket and handed it to Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao smiled and shook her head. "Sister, to be honest with you, your salary is only three or five yuan at most. I am a formal employee of the state, with a stable job. My monthly salary is 26.5 yuan. I don't even look down on your salary."
Yan Naqian became anxious again, "Brother Zhao, please help me..."
Xiao Zhao looked at Yan Naqian's chest again, swallowed unconsciously, and asked, "Sister, are you married?"
Yan Naqian shook her head.
She suddenly understood and looked Xiao Zhao up and down.
——This man looked to be in his thirties, skinny and ordinary looking, with a shrewd look in his eyes, and a sense of utilitarianism emanating from the inside out.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhao spoke.
"Sister, I don't know what your problem is, but to be honest, it's hard for you to get out of this situation... The only way is for me to tell the leader of our unit that you are my partner. But if I do that, I will definitely be punished by the unit because of this matter. But sister, why should I help you like this?"
Yan Naqian understood the implication of his words and was stunned for a moment.
Then, Xiao Zhao introduced his personal situation in a roundabout way. "My name is Zhao Zhijun, I'm 32 years old this year, and I'm currently a driver at the Grain Administration. To be honest, I was divorced once before, and I have a six-year-old son who lives with my ex-wife. I'm still young, so I still want to find someone else and start a family..."
"But sister, I won't force you. Everything is up to you. How about this, if you are willing, you can tell me your personal situation... I will report to the unit immediately, and we will get married, and the matter will be over. Maybe I can arrange a temporary job for you. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. You don't have to tell me who you are. I will listen to the unit leader and go to the police station to report to the police. If you have any grievances, just tell the police directly, okay?" Xiao Zhao showed a determined smile.
Yan Naqian bit her lip.
On one hand, I could call the police, and on the other hand, I could... marry this divorced man in front of me who is not good-looking and whose background I don't know.
Oh my god, how could she choose?
The two women outside were still shouting—
"Xiao Zhao! Why don't you come out? Were you knocked out or something?"
"Xiao Zhao, come out! Director Wang is asking you to call the police!"
"Xiao Zhao, who is that woman?"
"Xiao Zhao, do you want us to come in and help?"
Xiao Zhao stared at Yan Naqian's face and figure for a while, and said, "Sorry, sister, I may not have that much time to think about it. You heard that our leader is urging us, so I'd better... go to the police station first!"
Yan Naqian made up her mind and said, "My name is Yan Naqian, I'm 23 years old, unmarried, from Haicheng... I came here to work in the countryside as an educated youth. If I want to marry you, I require... a formal job in a state-owned unit."
Xiao Zhao nodded happily, "I knew you were not from this place, nor from the countryside... Then it's settled. I'm going to go out and take the blame now, and you come with me. Then you stay at my house tonight, and tomorrow when we officially start work at the company, we'll go get a marriage certificate. Let's go..."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhao extended his hand towards Yan Naqian.
Yan Naqian walked over in a daze and let him hold her hand.
He led her out the door.
There were more than just the two women standing guard at the door.
In fact, some family members and employees had heard the noise and rushed over to watch the fun.
Yan Naqian was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head.
The two women guarding the door heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Yan Naqian wearing clothes. One of them asked, "Xiao Zhao, who is this woman? Is she a thief?" The other said, "Come on, leave this woman to us, and you go to the police station to report the case!"
Xiao Zhao smiled and said to the two women, "No, no, no, this is a misunderstanding. She is my girlfriend, Yan Naqian... We had agreed to meet here, but I... remembered the wrong date."
The crowd watching "boomed" and talked about it -
"I've heard that some young men in the unit use the rooms in the guesthouse to date. Let's see, is it true?"
"But he can also remember the date wrong. Others can do that, but Xiao Zhao's brain is so flexible, so it's impossible, right?"
"This woman is pretty, what a pity!"
"What's so regrettable about it? No decent person would stay in an unlocked room without clothes on!"
"It's obvious that this woman is from another place, otherwise why would she be so close to Zhao Zhijun? She definitely doesn't know Zhao Zhijun..."
"Hush! You're talking about someone's shortcomings in front of others? Be careful, he's not a good person!"
Zhao Zhijun glanced at the crowd and found his relative, "Cousin?"
A fat middle-aged woman came over.
Zhao Zhijun lowered his voice and quickly said to his aunt: "This is my future daughter-in-law. Bring her to my house and keep an eye on her. Don't let her run away..."
My aunt nodded.
Zhao Zhijun smiled and let go of Yan Naqian's hand.
The cousin's aunt caught Yan Naqian at the right moment, with a malicious light in her eyes. She first looked Yan Naqian up and down, and then said affectionately: "My nephew's daughter-in-law, come, follow me, I will take you home!"
Yan Naqian tried to break free, but her aunt was very strong and she couldn't.
He was taken away staggeringly.
At this moment, she didn't know what kind of abyss she was about to fall into.
Taotao and her sisters were playing with red beans and yellow beans at the market when Xingxing suddenly tugged at her clothes and said, "Fourth sister, look, that guy...he lied again!"
Taotao looked carefully and found it was true?
The peddler who was carrying a bamboo basket and selling Empress Dowager Cixi's watches and grapes was harassing a young girl not far away.
The girl's clothes and demeanor were extraordinary.
——It is already late autumn and winter is about to begin. The weather is already bitingly cold.
Taotao has already put on a woolen vest.
But the girl was wearing a dark blue cloth skirt, white socks and black leather shoes. Her top was a white shirt with small floral patterns, and a half-worn grey cardigan. Her soft and beautiful hair was draped behind her head, and she had a plaid headband on her head. She was carrying a small old backpack.
She looks like a lady from a wealthy family.
It was obvious that the "young lady" was also attracted by the peddler's eloquence in telling stories and was listening attentively.
Until the vendor stealthily pulled open the pillowcase on the basket and quickly covered it again...
The "young lady" looked surprised and asked something, and the vendor started to take the food. The “Miss” chased him and asked again, but she didn’t expect the vendor to look like he wanted to run away?
Taotao is very strange.
She just kept staring at the "young lady" and the vendor.
Just then the vendor came towards the Taotao sisters...
The eldest lady followed closely behind the vendor.
Taotao heard the vendor say impatiently: "Hey, you're not buying my stuff, why are you following me? Go away! Go away!"
The "young lady" smiled and said, "Although I don't buy your stuff, I have given you a way to make money! How about this, if you don't like thirty cents, then I'll give you fifty cents... I don't want your gem grapes either, I just want you to eat one and show it to me, okay?"
The vendor blushed, "I, I, I, I... Do you really think that anyone can eat Empress Dowager Cixi's jeweled grapes? That's not possible! Little sister, let me tell you, you'd better spend ten dollars to buy Karl Lagerfeld's watch..."
Missy, "No, I just want to see you eat jewel grapes!"
The vendor said, "Five dollars! The jeweled watch is yours!"
Missy, "Fifty-five cents, you ate the gem grapes!"
The peddler was so angry, "You go! Forget it, I'll go..." Then he turned around and ran away in a hurry.
Taotao found it very funny and laughed out loud.
The eldest lady followed the sound of laughter and looked at Taotao, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Tao Tao said to the eldest lady, "Don't pay attention to him. He is bullying you because you are from another place... He can't fool people at all normally."
The eldest lady looked Taotao up and down and sighed, "There are creeping grasses in the wild, dripping with dew. There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. It is my wish to meet her by chance..."
Taotao: ...
The eldest lady suddenly rushed over and held Taotao's hand, "Little sister, you are so beautiful! Can I ask you to be my model?"
Tao Tao was stunned, "Model?"
What is a model?
The eldest lady looked at Taotao's clear and beautiful eyes in amazement, "Oh my God! You are so beautiful... No, no, I can't paint you. My brush cannot depict your beauty and your aura."
Taotao understood - a model is someone who sits still and has their portrait painted? So this young lady is a painter!
Taotao liked people praising her beauty, so she politely said, "You are also very beautiful."
The eldest lady shook her head. "Before I met you, I was beautiful. But from this moment on, I am...vulgar and ugly like the mud on the ground!"
Tao Tao's eyes widened again, "Huh?"
The eldest lady looked at Taotao obsessively, "Please don't show me such a...heart-breaking look, okay?"
At this time, Huangdou and Hongdou, who were playing nearby, stood on a stone each. They pushed each other with a smile, and then Hongdou pushed too hard -
Huangdou couldn't stand steadily, and with a cry of "Ouch", he dropped a rock and was about to fall!
Taotao was startled and was about to rush over to save her——
The eldest lady quickly threw away her backpack and hugged Huangdou!
Huang Dou was still in shock and stared at the young lady in a daze.
The eldest lady gently rubbed Huangdou's head and said softly, "Are you scared? Don't be afraid!" Then she said to Hongdou, "Little friend, what you did just now was very dangerous. Don't do that again in the future, understand?"
Hongdou was also very scared, and nodded with a flat mouth, "Yes! I won't do that again in the future... Huangdou, I'm sorry!"
Huang Dou, "No! It's important!"
Taotao quickly took the soybeans from the eldest lady, checked them, and found that the soybeans were fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Hongdou also squatted beside Taotao, watching over Huangdou with tears in her eyes.
The eldest lady looked at the interaction between these people and understood, "Are you relatives?"
Taotao put the soybeans on the ground, and the brother and sister became friends again, holding hands and going to play aside.
"Thank you so much for what you did just now!" Taotao said to the eldest lady, "My name is Bai Taotao, they are siblings, and I am their aunt." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady saw Taotao's hand and showed her obsessed eyes again, "You are not only beautiful, but also have such a nice name and beautiful hands..."
She held Taotao's hand and introduced herself, "My name is Liu Xuexu."
Taotao inexplicably thought of a poem, "Is it not as good as the willow catkins rising in the wind?"
Liu Xuexu widened her eyes in surprise, and held Taotao's hand with a little more force, her eyes filled with tears with excitement, "A close friend! A close friend!"
At this time, Song Zhi, who heard that Bai Taotao was in danger, hurried over.
He first saw Taotao, and when he saw that she was fine, he immediately relaxed.
But in the blink of an eye, I saw... Liu Xuexu holding Taotao's hand? ? ?
Song Zhi's face turned pale in an instant.
