Chapter 66 Xu Jianhua Comes to the Door
To celebrate the return of their eldest brother and to celebrate the fact that the family’s storeroom was now filled to the brim... Taotao and Xingxing prepared a super sumptuous lunch.
As a result, mom and third sister woke up from their sleep and heard that Dongsheng was back?
They were both very surprised and wanted to find Dongsheng right away...
But he was stopped by Taotao and Xingxing.
Even when Hongdou and Huangdou wanted to call their parents to come for lunch, Taotao and Xingxing stopped them from going to the east room. "Your parents are tired. Let them rest for a while. We will eat first. We will eat when they wake up."
Tang Liren and Bai Zhenggan seemed to understand.
They also quickly restrained their two young children and grandchildren, and asked Taotao and Xingxing to bring empty bowls to leave food for Dongsheng and his wife.
Stir-fried pork intestines with sour peppers, braised pork, roasted eggplant with sauce, steamed egg with minced meat...the whole family enjoyed the meal very much.
Tang Liren saw that Song Zhi was not picky about food at all, he ate everything, and he ate rice very quickly, one bowl after another, and finally added four large bowls...
Tang Liren narrowed her eyes in delight, "Song Zhi, you are not picky about food, are you? I heard that many educated youths in the educated youth station don't eat pork intestines! I was afraid that you don't like it either."
Song Zhi thought about it, "Maybe it was not handled well and they are afraid of the fishy smell?"
As he spoke, he finished another bowl of rice and added some soup. "This stir-fried pork intestines with chopped peppers is delicious and has no peculiar smell. Well, the food at home has always been very good. I think everything I cook tastes good."
Tang Liren, "Another bowl of rice?"
Song Zhi shook his head, "That's enough. I'll just have another bowl of soup."
Bai Zhenggan, "Our family's food wasn't good before! It was Taotao who brought us up... We learned how to grind beans to make jelly, and how to make jelly with potatoes... At that time, it was also because our family conditions were not good. Don't worry, our food will get better and better in the future."
Song Zhi smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Taotao.
Taotao is eating pickled eggplant, her cheeks are plump, beautiful and cute.
——Taotao is thin and weak and cannot do heavy work. But she is very good at cleaning the house and loves cleanliness. She always keeps the house tidy and beautiful, without a speck of dust. She also altered all the family's tattered clothes so that everyone in the family could look respectable. The family was poor and there were only a few ingredients available, but she was able to find ways to combine the ingredients differently or change the cooking methods so that the whole family could eat well.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
Song Zhi wanted to propose to her parents right now——
But I dare not.
After thinking about it, he decided to take advantage of Dongsheng's return home and Bai Zhenggan's happy mood to mention it to Bai Zhenggan again in secret.
Dongsheng and Tan Fenghui did not come out of the house until around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Brother Dongsheng's face was flushed with rosy glow and he looked full of energy. His haggard and tired look was gone completely. Tan Fenghui, on the other hand, had a shy face, a spring glow between her brows, and a smile in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.
Tang Liren was extremely happy to see her eldest son, but she was also worried, "Why are you so thin? Are you not getting enough to eat at the provincial school or something?"
Dongsheng smiled and said, "No, it's just that I was in a hurry to come back in the last few days and didn't eat well..."
Taotao was sitting aside altering Huangdou's clothes. When she heard what her mother and brother said, she didn't know why, but she always felt that her eldest brother seemed to be evading the main issue.
As expected, the eldest brother quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Mom, I brought some things back from the provincial capital, you guys take a look--" As he said that, he took the big sack and turned it upside down...
All I heard was a loud "bang bang" sound, and countless small things fell out of the sack and piled up on the floor of the main room like a small mountain.
Dongsheng squatted in front of the hill, like a garbage collector, counting the things one by one and distributing them to everyone.
What was given to Tang Liren and Tan Fenghui was the most precious!
Tang Liren got a pair of gold earrings and Tan Fenghui got a gold ring!
This caused a sensation in the whole family!
Tang Liren was anxious, "Where did you get these useless things? You, you said you lost so much weight... Did you save the money for food?"
Dongsheng smiled and said, "No! I found a few jobs in the provincial capital and worked while studying, and I earned the money!"
"What did you do?"
Dongsheng, "I deliver honeycomb coal every afternoon, working from 5 to 8, and can earn 50 cents a day! In the morning, I go to the school cafeteria to work and study, working from 4:30 to 8, so I don't have to spend money on three meals a day. Then on weekends, I set up a small stall on the street to help people repair tables and chairs, make wooden barrels and basins, etc. When business is good, I can earn several dollars!"
Tang Liren scolded, "Did I ask you to go to the provincial capital to make money?"
Dongsheng, "Mom, I didn't neglect my studies... I got the highest total score in the final exam, and I also received a hard-working award worth five dollars!"
Tang Liren: ...
Bai Zhenggan also felt distressed, "Don't do this again in the future!"
Dongsheng responded with a smile, looking at his wife with a gentle and doting look, and said: "It's mainly because when Hui'er married me, our family was poor and we really couldn't afford to give her anything decent... Now that I have a chance to find a job and earn a little money, I always want to make it up to her."
Tan Fenghui's face was flushed, her eyes were a little red, and she clenched the gold ring her husband gave her in both hands.
Dongsheng smiled and said to his sisters: "When I make money in the future, I will buy you gold earrings and gold rings when you go out!"
Song Zhi looked at Taotao with burning eyes: No need, I will work hard to earn money to buy Taotao a full set of gold jewelry in the future! You can even buy a few more sets in different styles!
As a result, several sisters——
Lili, "I don't want it!"
Tao Tao, "I won't marry!"
Xing Xing, "I'll buy it myself!"
Song Zhi:! ! !
a bolt from the blue!
Dongsheng continued to distribute gifts to everyone.
Each of the women in the family received four exquisite small boxes. Dongsheng couldn't explain what the four boxes were. He only said, "These were recommended by my female classmates in the city. At that time, many people bought them for their mothers, wives and sisters. I didn't have any money at the time, so I didn't say anything. Later, when I earned some money, I bought things according to the pattern of the boxes. I don't know if I bought the right ones..."
Tang Liren laughed and scolded, "Why are you so stupid! What if it's a box of cooling oil?"
Taotao opened the boxes one by one and took a look:
One box contains pearl cream, the cream is white and delicate, with a delicate fragrance, and looks much more high-end than vanishing cream. One box is powder, one box is rouge, and one box is frostbite cream.
Pearl cream, powder and rouge are all good things, and they are not even available in the county town.
But this frostbite cream...
Ruyi Village is located in a northern province, relatively close to the south. Therefore, the habit of heating the kang in winter is retained, but it is not cold enough to cause frostbite.
Tang Liren laughed while holding the frostbite cream!
Dongsheng was also a little embarrassed. He blushed, chuckled twice, and scratched his head.
Then continue giving out gifts.
He gave Bai Zhenggan two packs of cigarettes, "Dad, keep this pack of Panda cigarettes for yourself, and the other one is Daqianmen."
Bai Zhenggan said, “Hey, why did you buy this thing!” Although he said that, after taking the two packs of cigarettes, he still couldn’t let go. He touched and sniffed them again and again.
Tang Liren yelled at him, "You can only smoke one cigarette in three days! Hurry up and hand it in now!"
Bai Zhenggan was somewhat helpless, "Okay, just hand it over... Why are you so fierce? You were so gentle before..."
Everyone held back their laughter.
Dongsheng took out a few more bags of candy and handed them to Tang Liren, "Mom, take these and give them to the children during the New Year. Also, these two bags are chocolates... In my opinion, these things are quite expensive, so don't give them to others, let our family eat them ourselves!"
Tang Liren, "I have quite a few candies in my hand! You can give them to your wife! Hui'er, come here, let's divide the work like this. If someone comes to visit, you can take out the candies in my hand. I bought them in the county town, so they are not rare! On the night of New Year's Eve, you can take out these high-quality candies and we can eat them by ourselves! Oh, and leave some good things for your mother's family!"
Tan Fenghui agreed with a smile.
Dongsheng suddenly remembered something, took out another thing and handed it to Song Zhi, "Song Zhi, when I left, I found that your pen was broken. I don't know if you have bought a new pen during this period. Anyway, I brought you two pens..."
Song Zhi was really flattered.
Even he has a gift?
He never received any gifts.
——He has a very low presence in the Guan family. During festivals and birthdays, he is always the one who is forgotten. At school and at work, he had attracted the attention of many women because of his good looks, but he was annoyed. No matter who came to him, if they didn't explain their purpose within three sentences, he would just walk away with a dark face. Therefore, he is not very popular and is criticized as being "boring".
The last time he took Taotao to the city, Taotao celebrated his birthday and made sure he had noodle soup on his birthday...
Now Brother Dongsheng still treats him as a family member and gives him gifts?
Song Zhi felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He suppressed his emotion, tried to pretend to be calm, reached out to take the pen handed to him by Dongsheng, and whispered, "Thank you, brother!"
Dongsheng smiled, "What are you thanking me for! When I was not at home, it was all thanks to you!"
"Of course not!" Tang Liren said loudly, "It's all thanks to Song Zhi! All the work points he earned were converted into rice, and they are all in our warehouse! He is the one who earned the most work points in our family! Not to mention the pipes that bring water down from the mountains, and the washing machines and dryers he made..."
Lili, "When Xu Fengjuan and her husband bullied me, it was thanks to Brother Song Zhi who helped me... Otherwise, those two would be very troublesome!"
Xing Xing, "Brother Song Zhi is a city dweller. He used to live with our family on coarse food and never said a word. He gave all his work points for a month to the family and also paid for their food every month! Now, whenever we say that the work at home is too tiring or too hard, he can immediately think of a way and invent something to help us reduce the burden..."
Hongdou, "My handkerchief was taken to the roof by Aunt Sixteen's cat, and it was Uncle Songzhi who helped me get it down!"
Huang Dou was so anxious, "Iron! Ring! Get out——"
——Song Zhi made him a pair of rolling iron rings which were the most popular among boys nowadays. Originally, Huang Dou was looked down upon by other boys in the village because he stuttered and could not speak, but because he had this pair of iron rings, everyone wanted to play with Huang Dou!
Bai Zhenggan didn't say anything, but looked at Song Zhi with approval in his eyes.
Song Zhi already knew that this family loved each other, but this was the first time he felt that this family recognized him. He was praised clearly and everyone thought he was great!
He kept his mouth shut, afraid that opening his mouth would reveal his emotions.
A heart full of warmth, eyes burning, nose aching...
Taotao smiled and squeezed Song Zhi's hand.
Dongsheng frowned and asked Lili, "Who is Xu Fengjuan?"
The family talked about what happened at home after Dongsheng left.
——At Song Zhi's request, a library was set up in the village and handed over to Taotao for management. Thanks to Taotao's promotion, one-tenth of the illiterate people in the village can recognize hundreds of characters and know how to write their own names and the village's mailing address.
——While six provinces suffered disasters this year, Ruyi Village had a bumper harvest! Everyone in the village thinks Taotao has made great contributions. First, he taught everyone how to prevent and control diseases and pests of major crops. Second, he used recipes to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the villagers to harvest grain.
——Taotao also went to the county town to take the lead, and finally made Ruyi Village People's Commune reach a supply and marketing contract with the county state-owned restaurant. This contract will directly allow the villagers to enjoy the benefit of earning 40 yuan a year!
——Bai Lili got the opportunity to work at the state-owned hotel at the county railway station, but now it’s gone. But by chance, Lili got the opportunity to interview for a dim sum chef position at the Municipal Party Committee Guest House.
After talking about family matters, everyone started talking about things in the village.
——Fuguier slept with Widow Tang, and Widow Tang forced him to get married. Chen Juxiang and Li Cuier wanted to use money to get rid of Widow Tang's entanglement with Fuguier, so they came to the first house to extort money, and were finally settled by Bai Zhenggan. As a result, shocking news broke out that the third and fourth uncles might not be from the same family as the first and second wives. Chen Juxiang was therefore sent back to the Chen family, who eventually let her marry for the third time at an advanced age. There has been no news of her since then.
——Yan Naqian also courted death by hooking up with a driver from the town’s Grain Administration Bureau, and the two got married quickly. Then Yan Naqian asked the driver to forge state documents and was caught by Bai Zhenggan. Now both of them are in jail.
…
Dongsheng was stunned.
In the end, he didn't know what to say.
"It's just like listening to a book..." Dongsheng said, looking at Taotao, "Taotao has changed the most, she is smart and capable!"
Taotao smiled and said, "Brother, I also want to be an advanced person like you, strive for a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Student Program, and go to college in the future! By the way, brother, what is the school like?"
Dongsheng began to talk enthusiastically about the provincial capital and his school.
"… Just one word, 'wide'! The streets are straight and wide! The school playground, cafeteria, library, and classrooms are all wide! In addition to shuttle buses, there are also public buses, trucks, and cars on the road. There are especially many people riding bicycles…"
"...Everyone is dressed quite respectably, but no matter old or young, no one wears flowery clothes. Well, maybe young women will wear flowery skirts. They all wear black or gray, the kind of colors that are particularly dirty. And they greet people very politely, and like to use 'hello, please, thank you' and so on..."
"There are still many people in the provincial capital, and the market demand is huge. As long as you can bend down, it is still easy to make money. I and several male classmates from the county are willing to go out and do some side jobs. There are other students in the class who may be a little embarrassed, so they also live a hard life. After all, it is not easy to live a good life in the provincial capital with the support of the family!"
Dongsheng said.
Tang Liren, "I told you not to do those weak things. Look how thin you are! This Spring Festival, stay at home and keep some weight! When you go back to school in the spring, don't do those things. Your health is important!"
Dongsheng smiled and said, "Mom, I know what's going on!"
Bai Zhenggan, "Stop nagging, the couple didn't even have lunch! Um... Taozi Xingzi, is dinner ready?"
"Okay!"
"Let's have dinner now!"
The two sisters answered in unison.
At noon, they stewed a pot of pork leg bone soup, thinking of having hot pot for dinner!
So the rice had been cooked in the morning, the pork bone soup was still boiling in the pot, and they had already prepared all kinds of vegetables, washed, shredded and packed in baskets; they also prepared three large plates of raw pork belly slices, cut pork kidneys, pig hearts and so on...
As soon as it was time for dinner, Taotao asked Xingxing to make some fried rice - don't waste the food left for your elder brother and sister-in-law at noon, by making some, the whole family can get a small bowl of fragrant fried rice with oil and salt.
Taotao and Lili went to fetch the small charcoal stove and placed it on the kang table, then put the casserole on it, poured the fragrant pork bone soup into the casserole, and then added a bowl of the fresh and fragrant pork bone soup for everyone in the family.
She also brought a small dish of dipping sauce, a basket of vegetarian dishes, and a large plate of meat dishes. By this time, Xingxing had already cooked the rice, which she put in a large bowl, and hurried over.
By the time the family had finished sipping the hot soup, the bone soup in the casserole had already boiled.
So Taotao took the chopsticks specially used for picking up raw meat, picked up a lot of raw meat slices and poured them into the casserole.
Everyone started to share the fried rice.
By the time you finish eating the fried rice, the meat slices in the casserole are already cooked.
Let’s eat!
The tender pork belly, which is half fat and half lean, is cut into thin slices. After being blanched, it tastes so good whether you dip it in shrimp chili sauce or garlic vinegar water...!
After the family had finished picking up the cooked meat slices in the casserole, Taotao directly poured another plate of meat slices into it!
Suddenly, this one shouted, that one called out——
"Oh Taotao, you're too quick! I wanted some more soup!"
"We won't have anything to eat while the meat is cooked!"
"Then you can eat rice. This spicy sauce mixed with rice is delicious!"
"I have a piece of meat here, share it with you!"
"I want soup! Can I have hot sauce in my soup?"
Such a cold winter night made Song Zhi feel warm in his heart. It wasn't just because of his love for Taotao that made him fall in love with this family, but also because... this family really didn't treat him as an outsider.
…
Winter in the countryside is cold and boring.
But Taotao's family all put on new cotton-padded coats and woolen trousers and were not afraid of the cold winter at all.
And they are far from boring.
The busiest one is Lili.
——She set a plan for herself to try making three snacks every day.
Thanks to Cheng Zhujun's help, she now has enough ingredients. She thinks about various food combinations every day and asks Tao Tao and Xing Xing for advice on how to make the snacks look more beautiful and taste better...
Brother Dongsheng is also very busy.
He changed into the old clothes he used to wear in the village, put a sickle behind his waist, and then patrolled the village every day. He greeted the villagers and took special care of a few elderly people, helping them repair the holes in the roofs and patch up the cracks in the walls. Clean up the overflowing dry toilets, and clear the clogged drains in the village...
Song Zhi has already developed a noodle machine.
This is a noodle machine that works on a similar principle to a clothes dryer - it is also a wooden barrel with a tin bowl inside. After pouring flour and water into it, put the lid on. There is a mechanism on the lid, with three round wooden hammers installed. There is an oar on each side of the barrel. Row the oars in opposite directions on both sides at the same time and keep rowing to the bottom.
Let go again...
The round wooden hammer on the lid will pound the dough, and the tin bowl at the bottom will rotate, simulating the kneading process to a large extent.
Repeat this process about two or three times. Of course, you will need to open the lid and manually adjust the dough during the process. After the machine has kneaded the dough, just leave it alone and let it ferment for a while.
The advantage of doing this is that the sisters don’t have to get up early in the morning to knead the dough.
Just get up at the normal time, and first prepare yourself by pouring flour and water into the tin bowl in proportion, then rowing the oar for the first time, and then you can wash up after you let go. Let the noodle machine knead the dough slowly by itself, come back once in the middle, open the lid to see if the situation needs manual adjustment, and then shake the oars again. Then you can go to the vegetable garden to pick some cabbage leaves or chives, wash them and start cooking the noodles.
Heat up a pan with oil and sauté ginger and garlic, then add some pickled vegetables and stir-fry. After scooping them out, add water and boil.
At this time, the dough is almost ready, so take it out and put it into a wooden barrel specially made by Song Zhi. First sprinkle a thin layer of flour, then put the sieve on it, cover the lid and row hard, shake, shake, shake... shake it all the way to the bottom, open the lid, take out the sieve, and there will be a large ball of noodles at the bottom of the wooden barrel!
At this time, the soup in the pot has already boiled. Throw the noodles into the soup and cook them. Then throw in the washed vegetable leaves. Season them and serve them in a bowl. Add a little fried pickled vegetables...
Perfect!
The Taotao sisters have calculated that it only takes 35 minutes to make noodles using a noodle machine, and they can leave and do other things in the middle. But if you knead the dough by hand and then roll it out, it will take at least an hour to prepare!
No matter how you look at it, using a noodle machine saves time and effort!
During this process, because there were not many chores at home, the beauty-loving Taotao started to get busy.
She used tung oil residue to wash her hair, and then soaked her hair in water boiled with tea residue. Her hair became especially black, shiny and smooth, and she also asked her mother, sister-in-law and sisters to do the same.
Every now and then she would boil some peach gum to make a facial mask, or use egg white mixed with a little flour to apply on her face, or she would use a file to grind white radish into a paste to apply on her face... In short, she had all kinds of weird ways to do things.
But the women in the family still like to join in the fun with her.
After all, after tinkering with it for a while, even Tang Li felt that the skin on her face had become smoother, more delicate, and whiter!
Taotao paid special attention to her eldest sister-in-law, especially urging her to wash her hair every two days. She would also always ask Tan Fenghui to comb her hair whenever she had time...
So Tan Fenghui is the one who has changed the most.
She is 26 years old and has given birth to three children. When she was giving birth to Mung Bean, something happened to Red Bean. Tan Fenghui was frightened with her big belly. Later, she was always worried and her health has not been very good. In addition, her elder brother Dongsheng had left home, and she was a strong-willed person, so she worked hard while carrying her baby on her back.
Tan Fenghui's face was sallow and she looked sick. Tang Liren asked her again and again if she was feeling unwell... Tan Fenghui just shook her head, and finally said: There's nothing else, I just seem to have my period.
When Taotao heard this, she knew that her sister-in-law was overworked.
Now that she has some free time, and her third sister has bought a lot of dried goods from the north and south, Taotao cooks different kinds of porridge for the whole family every day. Sometimes it’s boiled eggs with red dates and longans, sometimes it’s peach gum stewed with wolfberries, sometimes it’s yellow rice and black dates porridge, and sometimes if I don’t want to eat sweet, I’ll just fry a handful of pumpkin seeds and walnut kernels... Of course, the walnut kernels are wild walnuts picked up from the mountains.
Some of these things are delicious, some are not, but Taotao does not allow everyone to be picky about food. Anyway, everyone has to eat a little about an hour after dinner every night.
Just like that, from the end of winter to the end of December, a whole month...
The whole family has changed.
Tan Fenghui's change is particularly great!
——Taotao secretly added more ingredients to her meal, so that every night Tan Fenghui had the most generous portions of stew and sweet soup.
So Tan Fenghui had fair skin and shiny black hair, and as she ate more and exercised less, her skinny figure soon became slim and well-proportioned. Also, because her husband was at home, her children were obedient, she was spoiled by her parents-in-law and loved by her sisters-in-law... Tan Fenghui was in a good mood, her body was in good shape, and she exuded a youthful glow!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day before New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, Tao Tao ran to find Song Zhi and dragged him to the back mountain. "Hey, how did you celebrate the New Year in previous years?"
Song Zhi, "I go to work. When I'm not at work, I stay in the library. Then I weigh a few pounds of apples in advance. After they finish their New Year's Eve dinner, I take a bag of apples to say hello and go back to the laboratory. The next morning, I go to the Guan family to wish them a happy new year, and then wish my supervisor a happy new year..."
"Then will your teacher give you a red envelope?" Taotao asked.
The human world in Xuanye Ancient Continent also celebrates the New Year, and it is very lively.
Taotao went shopping with her senior sisters.
They also have a very interesting marriage custom - on this day, young unmarried men and women will wear masks and new clothes... After wearing new clothes and masks, no one will recognize each other! So if lovers can find each other in the crowd, their parents will most likely not object to their marriage. There are also couples who have agreed on secret codes in advance, and there are also those who cannot find a partner on weekdays and want to pick a perfect man or woman on this day...
Taotao's senior sisters have hooked up with many handsome young men.
But after Taotao put on the mask, she looked like a child and no one ever chose her.
Of course, she didn't understand love affairs and wasn't interested in dual cultivation.
In order to make up to her and comfort her, the senior sisters gave her red envelopes and gifts every New Year.
Over time, this became a tradition of the Mei clan, and Taotao also liked the Chinese New Year more and more.
Now Taotao feels that Song Zhi has been in Ruyi Village for so long, but except for his teachers and fellow apprentices who often write to him, his father and brother have never sent him a letter!
Taotao didn't want him to be sad, so she decided to give him a gift.
I thought about it and still had no idea what gift to give, so I asked him.
Song Zhi shook his head, "I'm not a child."
"Have you never received red envelopes since you became an adult?" Taotao asked.
Song Zhi nodded.
——Yes, when his adoptive mother was still alive, she would give him, Guan Hailong and Guan Haishan each a red envelope of one dollar. I haven't received any red envelopes since my adoptive mother passed away.
Taotao took out a brown paper envelope from her pocket and handed it to him, "This is the first red envelope you have received since you became an adult!"
Song Zhi took it and looked at it——
It was actually a piece of kraft paper used to wrap brown sugar, which she carefully cut and folded into a small envelope. Then she cut a small red flower out of red paper and stuck it on the kraft envelope.
He opened it and saw a big unity inside?
Song Zhi, "This money..."
Tao Tao, "Don't tell me you don't want the money! Look carefully at the number on the money!"
Song Zhi took a look.
Um? The first four digits are her month and day of birthday, and the last four digits are his month and day of birthday? ? ?
This is such a coincidence!
Tao Tao said proudly, "Luckily I have a lot of money. I searched all night before I found this one... Look at the number. Is it your birthday?"
Song Zhi looked at her steadily.
"This is fate, just accept it!" Taotao said with a smile.
Song Zhi: Just consider it as a token of love you gave me.
Since there was no one around, he hugged Taotao and lowered his head to bite her.
Taotao means exactly this!
She had already given the gift, so of course she wanted something in return. Otherwise, why did she pull him to the back mountain?
However, Taotao felt that Song Zhi was a little different today than before.
In the past, whenever Song Zhi ate him, he would be confused, stupid and wouldn't move or respond at all, he just followed her rhythm...
But now, Song Zhi is domineering and fierce.
he……
Seems like you want to dominate?
How could Taotao let him get his wish!
One is strong, the other is soft; one is teasing, the other is amusing...
In the end, even Taotao couldn't control herself and lost her rhythm.
She half-closed her eyes and looked at Song Zhi.
But he saw that his eyes were dark, and faintly flickered with flames that she couldn't see clearly...
Taotao pressed down again——
But someone was calling her name from afar.
"Taotao! Taotao——"
Taotao was stunned.
Song Zhi also woke up, half-raised himself and whispered, "It seems to be your third sister."
Taotao immediately slid off him, stood up, straightened her clothes and hair, and hurriedly said, "I'm leaving! You can leave later."
Then he hurried down the mountain.
Song Zhi sat on the grass, watching her fleeing and explaining things extremely skillfully, and couldn't help laughing - the west room where he lived was also very big, it would be great if he could be with Taotao openly.
Thinking about it again, a few days ago he mentioned to Bai Zhenggan that he wanted to marry Taotao again. Although Bai Zhenggan did not agree this time, his expression seemed to be softened...
Song Zhi knew that Bai Zhenggan and his wife had changed their opinion of him. Perhaps they felt that they needed some time to get to know him better before deciding whether or not they could hand their daughter over to him?
He was not afraid of their tests.
But Taotao ran into Lili and asked, "Sister, what's the matter?"
Taotao felt a little guilty.
——In fact, she had wanted to invite Song Zhi to the back mountain several times. But there has been nothing going on at home recently, and her family members are keeping a close eye on her, looking for her everywhere if they don't see her for a while.
today……
Bai Lili said, "Nothing! It's just... Manager Xu is here with Xu Jianhua!"
Taotao let out an "ah".
Bai Lili bit her lip and said, "And that... Wang Huixin is here too!"
Tao Tao's eyes widened, "What?"
"Wang Huixin is here too!" Bai Lili said angrily.
Taotao couldn't recover from her shock for a long time.
——Manager Xu is here? Is he here... for business or personal matters?
Ah, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Coming here at this critical moment is probably for personal matters.
——So Manager Xu is pursuing his third sister in order to help his son Xu Jianhua? ? ?
So are this father and son sick? Why did you bring Wang Huixin here too!
However, what interested Taotao the most was something else, "Third sister, Wang Huixin...does she really look a lot like you?"
Bai Lili hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Tao Tao was not convinced, "Let's go! Let's go back and take a look! I don't believe it...why haven't Xing Xing and I been mistaken for you, but you look so much like others!"
Having said that, Taotao pulled Lili away!
Lili was unwilling to go, "Taotao, don't go! Play with me on the mountain for a while... Even if we go back, wait until they leave! I don't want to see that person!"
Of course Taotao couldn't let her sister get her wish.
After all, Song Zhi is still hiding in the woods!
Besides, it takes a whole day to get to the county town from here, and maybe Manager Xu and his son will stay overnight at her house! Can this be avoided?
Taotao dragged her sister home, "Don't be afraid, Third Sister! This is in our house, on our territory, are you afraid of being wronged? Humph! He brought this upon himself... Third Sister, if you are still angry, just say it out, and let Mom and Dad take care of it for you!"
Having said that, Taotao took her sister and went home.
As soon as she entered the door, Taotao met a young city girl!
