Chapter 91 It's Her (1)
Seeing that there were only five or six days left until the Chinese New Year, Taotao and her family carried large and small bags of purchased New Year's goods and boarded the train back to Song City.
As the Spring Festival is approaching, the train from Kyoto to Matsuichi is in the reverse peak period and the seats are quite spacious.
Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren were still reluctant to spend money to buy all the sleeper berths, so they compromised: the men would buy seat tickets, and the women and children would buy sleeper tickets.
In this way, everyone was divided into two camps.
However, Cheng Zhujun and Song Sui reached a friendly agreement in private and both agreed to exchange positions.
So Cheng Zhujun got a seat ticket next to Bai Nansheng, and Song Sui got a sleeper ticket opposite Bai Xingxing...
Of course, Song Sui was scolded by Bai Xingxing and switched beds with Tan Fenghui who was on the upper bunk.
But this is better, he can lie on the bed, looking down at Xingxing, or listen to Xingxing chatting with others.
The time spent with family is relaxing and enjoyable.
In addition, Tang Liren prepared a lot of delicious food, so everyone ate all the way and no one was full. They also chatted all the way...Except for a few children who slept soundly, no one else got any sleep.
The train ran for a day and a night, and finally arrived in Song City in the morning mist.
Everyone got off the train, panting, carrying luggage on their backs and large and small bags of shopping brought back from Kyoto, and prepared to go to the bus station next to the train station to take a bus back to the Municipal Party Committee compound.
Taotao was walking in the procession of her family members. As soon as she got out of the station, she saw a young woman wearing a cotton-padded jacket and carrying a two or three-year-old baby girl on her back, kneeling on the side of the road. She was holding a cardboard with words on it and shouting in a hoarse voice:
"Wang Huimin of Song County committed bigamy! In order to marry the mayor's daughter, he abandoned his original wife in the countryside and his seriously ill daughter... Various departments of the municipal bureau covered up for him, and justice could not be served! Passing guests, please stop and take a look! My mother and I have been forced into a desperate situation..."
There were many citizens watching nearby, pointing and talking at the woman.
"Is what this woman said true?"
"I don't know. If she really wanted to file a complaint, why would she come to the train station? She should go to the city government, or the municipal party committee!"
"I saw her at the gate of the Municipal Party Committee. She also said she wanted to file a complaint, but was beaten out! I guess she came here because she had nowhere else to go. After all, it's the Spring Festival now, and there are a lot of people coming and going. Who knows if someone from the Provincial Party Committee or the Central Committee passed by here? I guess this might be her idea!"
"Poor thing! I heard her say her child is sick, isn't he? I don't know what the disease is..."
"In my opinion, this woman won't be able to stay here for long. Think about it, she was beaten out for holding a cardboard at the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee. If that person heard that she came to the train station again... and she is a single woman with a child, it would only take a few minutes for him to kill her!"
Taotao looked at this dishevelled, pretty, tear-stained woman, and heard the little girl behind her crying like a cat...
——Her mother, Tang Liren, prepared a lot of food before getting on the train. Most of them are homemade pickled vegetable buns and red bean paste buns that can be eaten even when cold. Of course there were also meat buns, but they had already been shared and eaten by everyone.
Taotao was now holding a clean white cotton cloth bag, which contained three or four pickled vegetable buns, red bean paste buns, and two boiled eggs in shells that the others could not finish...
Taotao handed the bundle to the young woman and said, "No matter what happens, don't let the child starve."
The young woman was stunned and looked at Taotao in surprise, her eyes blurred with tears.
She stretched out her chilblained hand, wanting to take the bundle. Suddenly she remembered something and took her hand to the corner of her clothes, wiped her hand with it, and then took the bundle from Taotao, choking with sobs and saying, "Thank you, thank you! Thank you, little sister, you will be rewarded for your kindness, and you will be happy and contented for the rest of your life!"
Then she opened her bag, took out a boiled egg, cracked the shell, took off her sling, and fed the boiled egg to the child.
The little baby girl was so hungry that she bit the egg twice and swallowed it.
Tao Tao, "Don't let her eat so quickly, be careful she might choke."
The young woman nodded while crying, broke the egg, and stuffed a small piece into the baby girl’s mouth…
Taotao left.
Xingxing, who was lagging behind, saw this and lowered her head to search her pockets.
Song Sui quickly asked, "What do you want?"
Xing Xing, "They are so pitiful. I remember I had one dollar?"
When Song Sui heard this, he took out a big unity from his pocket and bent down to put it in front of the young woman.
The young woman was stunned and looked at Song Sui in shock.
Song Sui pointed at Xing Xing and said, "She gave it to me."
The young woman grabbed the banknote, knelt down crying, and kowtowed to Xingxing, "My benefactor! I wish you a life of peace and peace!" She hugged her daughter, clenched the banknote in her hand, and burst into tears.
Xingxing also left quickly.
Seeing that someone had taken the lead in giving alms, other passengers also gave the woman some food, a few cents in change, etc.
After the Bai family got on the bus, Tao Tao asked her eldest brother in a low voice, "Brother Dongsheng, is it true that someone would abandon his rural wife in order to marry the mayor's daughter?"
Bai Dongsheng frowned, "I wonder if that woman is a liar... Because the mayor has no daughter, only two sons. One went to the countryside to work in the production team, and the other is still young!"
Taotao's eyes widened.
——But she didn’t think that woman was a bad person!
Bai Zhenggan said, "You are talking about your immediate superior, Mayor Tian! But don't the municipal bureau still have several deputy mayors? There are many who have marriageable daughters at home!"
Bai Dongsheng was silent, "I need to ask about this."
Bai Zhenggan, "You have to ask about it carefully! This is your responsibility."
He particularly emphasized the three words "one's responsibility".
——Taotao knew very well that her elder brother was Mayor Tian’s secretary, in charge of civil affairs, justice, supervision and other duties.
If someone really abandons his original wife and sick child in order to marry the mayor's daughter...
It must be managed!
However, this falls within the scope of eldest brother's job and Taotao has no right to interfere.
After arriving home——
Tang Liren began to make arrangements for her children.
"Dongsheng, Huier, you two should report back to work tomorrow. It's time to go to work! Now that we have a company, we can no longer do whatever we want like before! Besides, although it's only a few days away from the Spring Festival holiday, we can still get a day's salary for every day we work, so we have to consider the money!"
"Li Zi, Xing Zi, the same thing to you two, go back to work and report for leave!"
"Nansheng, you should accompany Zhujun and Zhuping to the hospital these days. Zhuping has not been in good health since he was a child, and Zhujun wants to take him to the hospital to have his previous illness rechecked... Also, please buy the train tickets for them to return to Song County. If there is still time, go to work and buy some New Year's goods, and then let them take them back to Song County!"
"Taotao, Songzhi, I'm going to leave the little kids at home to you two to take care of..."
All the children agreed.
Tang Liren thought for a moment and made further arrangements, "Taotao, Song Zhi, you two take Song Sui to live in your house... Nansheng, after dinner, let Xingzi take you to the store! That's the house my family bought for you. I wrote to you and told you... The first floor is rented to Xiao Maiwen, and the room on the second floor has been cleaned up, waiting for you to move in!"
Then he said to Cheng Zhujun: "What about you and your brother?..."
Tang Liren was a little hesitant.
The apartment she and her husband were allocated had three bedrooms and a living room. She and Bai Zhenggan lived in one room, Xingxing and Hongdou lived in one room, and the three little Douzi lived in one room...
There's really not enough space.
It's winter now, so it's not appropriate to let Cheng Zhujun and her brother sleep on the floor.
The best thing would be to arrange Cheng Zhujun and her brother to live with Taotao or Nansheng.
That--
Cheng Zhujun blushed and said, "These past few days, I have to trouble Brother Nansheng to accompany Zhuping and I to the hospital... Song Sui lives with Sister Taotao, and it would not be appropriate for Zhuping and I to trouble Sister Taotao again. How about, how about..."
After all, she was a girl, and she was embarrassed to say the following words.
Tang Liren knew what he meant, so she looked at Cheng Zhujun and said with a smile: "Then you can take Zhuping to live with Nansheng! His house is very big, there are five rooms on the second floor, which is enough for you to live in!"
Everything is arranged in an orderly manner.
The children started chatting and laughing.
Nansheng frowned.
Yes, he had received a letter from his mother, saying that his family had bought him a house, but now it was rented to the Municipal Party Committee Logistics Department to open a small shop...
He didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that he was thousands of miles away and that he planned to serve in the army for the rest of his life. There is no need for him to go back to his hometown, and there is no need for his family to buy a house for him.
——When his rank is raised in the future, the army will allocate welfare housing to him.
Besides, he never planned to get married, so why would he buy a house? Would it increase the financial burden on his family?
However, now that his family was here, he didn't want to disobey his mother in front of so many people, so he thought about finding an opportunity to talk to his parents about this in private.
Until he saw the house with his own eyes...
Nansheng widened his eyes in surprise!
——This, such a big house? Such a big yard? And it’s decorated so beautifully? ? ?
My God, how much money did my family spend to buy this house?
You know, Kyoto Taotao and Song Zhi’s new home is just the right size, not too big or too small, and it cost more than four thousand yuan. The house in front of me looks at least three times the size of Taotao's house! It’s so big, it must cost over ten thousand, right? !
Nansheng couldn't stand it anymore, and hurried back to find his mother, "Mom, I don't want that house!"
Tang Liren was startled, "What???"
"Why did you buy such a big house? Wouldn't our family be in debt?" Bai Nansheng was very anxious. "Hurry up and find the Housing Authority to sell the house and pay off the debt!"
Tang Liren smiled and said, "Then guess how much did you spend on this house?"
"Are you afraid of ten thousand?" The more Nansheng thought about it, the more nervous he felt.
Tang Liren smiled, "One thousand and one!"
"What?" Bai Nansheng was dumbfounded. "Only one thousand and one?"
Tang Liren smiled and said, "This is Song City. You can't compare it with the housing prices in Kyoto! Have you seen Taotao's small house? It's not far from your house... Her house is 900 yuan!"
Bai Nansheng still couldn't come back to his senses, "That's not right, Taotao's house is only 900, and mine... is seven or eight times as much as Taotao's! How could it be only 1,100?"
Perhaps because he heard that the house price was only 1,100 yuan, Nansheng unconsciously accepted the fact that "the house is his".
Tang Liren, "Why is your house so cheap? You can ask the people in the compound. First of all, that house used to be a famous haunted house! Secondly, that house was built before the liberation. It's been a long time. It can't be sold at all. No one wants it! You think that house is beautiful now. It was designed by Taotao and decorated by Song Zhi!"
Nan Sheng suddenly realized.
However, Nansheng still has something to say.
"Mom, even if this is the case, I can't take this house!" he said in a strong voice.
Tang Liren's eyes widened. "Why?"
Nansheng, "Mom, my family has already paid enough for me! You even bought me a house... I have many brothers and sisters, and you bought one for me, but what about my eldest brother?"
Tang Liren, "Hasn't your elder brother already divided up a room?"
Nansheng: ...
He sighed and said, "I won't talk about Taotao. She is the smartest and most profitable one among my brothers and sisters. What about Lili and Xingxing in the future? Besides, my eldest brother has a house allocated by his unit. When I get promoted in the future, the army will also allocate a house to me! Mom, I don't want this house to affect the relationship between us brothers and sisters!"
After a pause, he continued, "After all, I am the farthest away from you and my father... I may not be the one who can take care of you, so why do you put this house in my name?"
Tang Liren wanted to cry, "Son, don't think I don't know! You, you don't want to get married, right?"
Nansheng was silent.
Tang Liren, "You don't want to get married and have no offspring. How will you support yourself in your old age? Having a house is the foundation of your life!"
Nansheng, "Even if I don't get married and have no offspring... I will work hard now and try to climb high. When I get old and go to a retirement home, there will always be someone to take care of me!"
Tang Liren shook her head. "Of course your idea is good, but that's your idea. I won't control you or influence you. So don't influence me, because this is the only thing I can do for my child."
Nansheng's eyes turned red and he was deeply moved.
After thinking about it, he compromised, "Mom, how about this... my family spent 1100 yuan to buy this house, and you can tell me how much it cost to renovate it. I will pay half, and you can help me pay the other half. How about that?"
Tang Liren, "I know you are filial and don't want your family to be in debt because of this house... Don't worry, son, the family doesn't owe any money!"
Nansheng shook his head, "But I can't start this bad precedent! Mom, you listen to me, I will pay half, and the other half will be paid by our family. In the future, you can buy a house similar to this one for my eldest brother, and you will pay half and my eldest brother will pay half..."
"Your elder brother has a house to live in!"
Nansheng insisted, "That's different! I'm too far away. In the future, supporting you and my dad, and taking care of my sisters... are all my eldest brother's responsibilities. He has four children to raise, and his financial pressure is greater than mine! You can't be so far away that you're not as good as me!"
Tang Liren fell into deep thought.
——In the past, she had never thought about buying a house for Dongsheng. The biggest reason is: she thinks Dongsheng is by her and her husband's side and is already enjoying the care of his parents. For example, the family's meals were basically taken care of by her and her husband, and the upbringing and care of the four children born in winter also mostly fell on this side...
But now, Tang Liren felt that Nansheng’s words still made sense.
"I'll talk to your dad about this later." Tang Liren said.
Bai Nansheng smiled and said, "Now, I have the motivation to save money! To be honest, I only have 31 yuan a month, and I don't spend money on food and accommodation, just a few packs of cigarettes... But other comrades can save 1,000 yuan in three years, and I have saved less than 300 yuan in three years... You assigned me this task of repaying the money, I promise! Within two years, I will send you half of the house payment and decoration fee!"
Tang Liren also laughed.
She looked at her son's expression and said cautiously, "Then you might as well send the money back and let mom save it for you... Once you have saved enough money, I will find you a wife..."
It doesn’t matter whether you send money or not.
The important thing is to see whether my son is willing to marry another wife.
But seeing his son's expression was indifferent...
Tang Liren didn't know whether he acquiesced or was disgusted, so she just went for it, "In my opinion, Zhu Jun is quite good... He grew up under our noses, we know him well, he's good-looking, and he's gentle..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her son's eyes widened in shock.
"Mom, are you crazy?" Nansheng frowned and said, "I am eight years older than her. I can be Cheng Zhujun's uncle! You actually... Don't mention this matter again in the future. I can't afford to lose face!"
Having said that, Nansheng left in a hurry.
Tang Liren thought her eldest son was boring. She stared at her son's back and said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "What's the big deal? She's only eight years older. If you love her more, and she respects you, wouldn't it be better..."
Nansheng fled in panic.
Later, Tang Liren found an opportunity to privately tell her husband Bai Zhenggan about Nansheng's opinion.
Bai Zhenggan was silent for a long time, then sighed, "Are we getting old? I used to think we did a great job, but today when Nansheng talked to you about this... I felt like we were a little too harsh on Dongsheng."
Tang Liren, "That's true. I used to think that it wouldn't be so bad to have parents taking care of a child. But when a child grows up, he will always have his own ideas... Besides, Dongsheng has four children, and he will have to take care of the two of us in the future. His burden is much greater than Nansheng's! If Nansheng really doesn't want to get married, he can feed the whole family. But Dongsheng and his wife have to support the two old people and four children..."
"Let's hold a family meeting tonight!" Bai Zhenggan said, "Let's stop making up our own minds... Look, we still think we're doing this for Nansheng's own good, but if the other children weren't well behaved, they would have thought we were biased!"
Tang Liren responded, "Hey!"
So that night, Tang Liren presided over a family meeting at the dinner table.
Dongsheng's eyes widened in shock when he heard from his parents that "Nansheng wants to pay half of the house price and decoration fee himself" and "the family will raise more money for Dongsheng to buy a house, and Dongsheng and his wife will also pay half of the house price and decoration fee themselves."
Tang Liren added, "Our family has never favored boys over girls, so, let's help Dongsheng look for a house first... After we find a house for Dongsheng, we'll buy one for Lili and Xingxing... You are all children of the family, but when children grow up, they will be like birds, and they will have to go out sooner or later... It's not that your parents don't want you to stay at home, but when you grow up, you have to stand on your own feet!"
Brothers and sisters, you look at me, I look at you——
Xing Xing asked, "What about my fourth sister's house?"
Taotao gave Xingxing a slap and said, "I already have two houses. Don't buy me another one. I don't want to pay for it anymore!"
Tang Liren, "As for Taotao and Song Zhi's house in Kyoto, your father and I have no control over it! But for the small house she bought for 900 yuan, next to your second brother, your father and I will give her 450 yuan!"
Tao Tao said: "Mom, I have much more money than you!"
Xing Xing tugged at her clothes and whispered, "Fourth sister, just take what mom gives you. You have to take what's yours, and then you can subsidize big brother and sister-in-law later, right?"
Taotao thought about it and nodded after realizing that this was the case.
Tan Fenghui said, "We don't want your subsidy. After all, we are with our parents and can always help each other. You are different from Song Zhi. You two are in a place where you are unfamiliar with everything. You have to spend money for everything... Have you forgotten so quickly that Guan Hailong publicly demanded the money you borrowed to buy a house? Taotao, we women have to have more money in our hands to feel safe!"
Tao Tao smiled, "I have money, and Song Zhi's money is also in my hands!"
Lili muttered quietly, "Actually, I don't need to buy a house..."
Tao Tao looked at her third sister, "Sister, having a house is also a kind of confidence! Who doesn't want a good life? If you have a house, when you are dating in the future, those with poor conditions will be embarrassed to come to you! This is healthy competition!"
Lili said softly: "But I don't want to find a partner..."
Tang Liren, "What did you say?"
"No, no, no! Nothing!" Lili quickly put on a smile.
Tang Liren was very pleased to see her children loving each other, and sighed, "This bowl of water is really not fair! The real family harmony and brother-sister unity still depends on you guys to maintain! But in our family, no matter what, we can discuss and negotiate. If you have any opinions, let's solve it internally!"
The children all agreed with laughter.
Cheng Zhujun and Song Sui sat aside, watching the family getting along, feeling extremely envious.
Song Sui glanced at his brother Song Zhi secretly.
——But he saw his brother’s chest was held high, his back was straight, and his eyes were shining with bright light. As if he was particularly proud and proud that he had become a member of the Bai family.
Song Sui: I was very envious at that time.
After everyone had a cheerful dinner and a lively family meeting, they went out for a walk together.
Mainly go to the convenience store.
Taotao saw a bustling convenience store.
——The lights in the store were bright. There was a row of simple long tables and small stools placed by the window of the room at the back. Many young men and women in love sat there, ordering a two-cent portion of pig blood soup, fried tofu and other snacks, and sitting together, whispering sweet nothings to each other.
——The yard was even more lively, and all the leisure tables and chairs were filled with elderly people. Some elderly people even brought small stools from home and sat together to chat and look after the children.
——In one corner of the yard, there were more than 20 or 30 little kids crawling on the grass, crawling on the boulders, squatting by the rockery and the small pond, watching the little fish and the little people on the rockery...
——There were long queues around the two ping-pong tables, and everyone was holding a ping-pong ball and a racket in their hands?
Xing Xing explained: "This ping-pong table is popular, so we made a rule that we take turns playing. If you lose three balls in a row, you have to leave and go to the back... Only in this way can we ensure that everyone can play a few balls!"
Tao Tao whispered, "We can also put a table at my second brother's house, and then we can play among ourselves and not compete with them... Hey, I don't know how to play yet!"
"Fourth sister, I know how to do it. I'll teach you!" Xingxing said hurriedly.
Song Zhize was thinking in his mind: I will find a way to get a ping-pong table tomorrow!
Taotao walked around the store and bought some snacks at Hongdou's suggestion. After the whole family had shared the food, they returned to their respective homes.
Tang Liren and Xingxing sent Taotao, Song Zhi and Song Sui to the small building.
Taotao was very surprised!
——This small building is no longer what it looked like when Taotao first bought it.
According to Taotao's preferences, her family planted a lot of flowering climbing plants on the roof in the summer. Of course, because it is winter now, the vines are not in bloom, but they are still lush and green.
Tang Liren said, "The flower vine seeds your eldest brother got for you have grown colorful flowers on the vines! Everyone in the compound says your house is beautiful! Come on, go in and take a look!"
Taotao nodded and followed her mother into the yard.
Sure enough, it was the layout that Taotao liked—a grape vine was planted in the small yard, and the vine had climbed up the bamboo frame to the roof. It's just because it's winter and the vines have dried up.
There are two rattan chairs, two small stools and a small table under the grape vines, and many seasonal flowers are planted in the corners of the wall. At this season, only five or four chrysanthemums and two daffodils are still in bloom, and the lush greenery is very lovely.
Tang Liren explained, "Although you are not often at home, it is not convenient for us to grow vegetables there. So we turned your backyard into a vegetable garden and planted peppers, cabbages, radishes, beans, bitter melons, loofahs... In short, we planted a little bit of everything. We usually eat in the dining hall, and on weekends we come here to pick vegetables and cook them at home..."
Taotao nodded.
Tang Liren led Taotao and Song Zhi into the house.
The characteristic of this house is that it is small, so the living room on the first floor is not big, only about 30 square meters.
There was a set of wooden sofas covered with cotton pads, and in front of the sofas were two strange rectangular low boxes.
Tang Liren pointed at the two low boxes and explained, "We live in the city now, and it's inconvenient to collect firewood to heat the kang bed, so I listened to other people's introductions and asked someone to make a fire box! Look, this is the fire box. Put a charcoal basin inside, then put the iron mesh frame on it, and then put a wooden frame on top. People put their feet inside and cover them with a small quilt, it's very warm!"
"It's not any worse than a kang bed... it's just not as free... I know you're afraid of the cold, tomorrow I'll have Song Zhi light a charcoal basin for you, you try putting it in... Oh, by the way, I bought you three hundred kilograms of charcoal, three hundred coal balls, rice, flour and everything else, I piled them all up in the utility room in the backyard!"
Tang Liren introduced everything inside and outside the house to Taotao and Song Zhi one by one.
It was getting late, so Taotao asked Song Zhi to take her mother back while she started packing.
Song Zhi took a look and saw a brand new large bathtub in the bathroom on the second floor. He went downstairs to settle his brother in the guest room on the first floor, then went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water before sending Tang Liren back.
When he came back, the water on the coal stove had already boiled. He carried the kettle up to the second floor, poured the water into the bathtub, went downstairs to get more water to boil, and then came up to help Taotao pack her luggage...
After four or five trips back and forth, I finally accumulated half a bucket of boiling hot water.
Song Zhi urged Taotao to take a bath while he continued to clean up.
Taotao went to take a bath happily.
——In the middle of winter, it’s such a pleasure to be able to take a hot bath!
That is, I always feel that it is not enough, and the water temperature slowly drops...
It makes people feel that it is not enough.
The big white peach that had turned pink from the bath grumbled, "Song Zhi, do you have any way to quickly and effectively heat the water? I've only been in the bath for a short while, and it's still not enough! Also, although the water is hot, why is the bottom of the tub cold..."
Song Zhi responded and made a note in his mind: I have to make a device to quickly heat water tomorrow. In addition, you have to install a small stool in the bathtub and put a towel on it so that her butt won't be cold when she sits on the stool to take a bath; and a cover is needed at the mouth of the bathtub to effectively prevent the rapid loss of heat.
After taking a shower, Taotao found that Song Zhi had already packed all the luggage.
She quickly ran towards the big bed and jumped onto it nimbly!
Wow, the bed is so soft... so comfortable! It was so cold that she shivered after taking a bath and shouted, "Song Zhi! Song Zhi, come over and warm the bed!"
Without saying a word, Song Zhi quickly took off his outer coat and trousers, and went over wearing his autumn shirt and autumn trousers underneath.
——After all, warming the bed was his favorite thing to do.
Sure enough, after he lay down on the bed and covered himself with the quilt, the little ancestor came over trembling, and stuck close to him very obediently, lying on his chest, with his arms around his neck, and his legs... wrapped around his waist.
Song Zhi really likes to sleep with the big white peach in his arms.
Because she is fragrant, tender and soft.
But this is a luxury.
Dabaitao has a very bad sleeping posture. She either grabs the quilt, rolls it up, or pushes and kicks him.
One time, Da Baitao started crying in the middle of the night, sobbing and whimpering, which scared Song Zhi. He turned on the light and saw that she was tossing and turning, and the quilt was tightly wrapped around her body, so that her hands and feet could not get out of the quilt...
At that time, Song Zhi was both angry and amused, and quickly opened the quilt for her.
As for her, she closed her eyes and continued to sleep, crying and complaining that he treated her badly and that he didn't come to help her even though he knew she was rolled up by the quilt...
Song Zhi had no choice but to hold her in his arms, rocking her slowly and coaxing her softly, and finally he managed to coax the little girl to sleep.
Well, as soon as she fell asleep, she started the same old trick again... and continued to roll up the quilt!
Taotao is as lively when she is asleep as when she is awake.
She wouldn't let him hug her.
She thought he was too hot, and that his muscles were too hard and painful...
She would only allow him to hold her for a while afterwards, when she was tired and exhausted, and when she needed him to warm the bed before going to bed on winter nights.
Song Zhi cherishes this rare time very much.
Sure enough, the heat from his body soon warmed up the bedding, quilt and big white peach... and then began to generate heat.
Taotao is warm.
She no longer needs Song Zhi!
"Go away!" Da Baitao turned her face away without any suspense and kept urging him, "Go take a shower! You must come back before the bed gets cold!"
Song Zhi: ...
I feel very wronged.
However, he rolled his eyes and quickly came up with a solution.
"Okay, bite one and I'll go take a shower." He requested.
Taotao readily agreed.
——Biting him would allow her to gain a wonderful and fragrant aura, and only a fool would refuse.
but……
Song Zhi became more and more familiar with her preferences, and it was easy for him to... stir up trouble!
Da Baitao panted slightly, unreservedly releasing her warm invitation, and easily got him...
I don’t know how long it took, but Dabai Tao was so angry that she bit Song Zhi’s shoulder hard. Song Zhi was startled and let go, and the two of them slowly calmed down.
Da Baitao was drowsy, and even with her eyes closed she did not forget to blame him...
Song Zhi finally got what he wished for by hugging Dabaitao and coaxing her to sleep with soft words. He quietly got out of bed, went to the first floor to get some hot water for a quick shower, then brought up half a bucket of hot water and washed the big white peach. Then he turned off the lights and jumped onto the bed.
Before going to bed, Song Zhi hugged the soft and delicate Big White Peach who was sleeping soundly, and sighed with satisfaction: It’s so good to have a wife!
Men without wives are idiots!
The next day, Taotao stayed in bed and refused to get up.
Song Zhi and Song Sui went to Bai Zhenggan's place to have breakfast.
After breakfast, the others had to go to work. Nansheng took Cheng Zhujun and her brother to the hospital. Because Xingxing also had to go to work at the grocery store, Song Sui followed Xingxing to the grocery store to stay there...
Song Zhi brought back a few little kids from Dongsheng's family and Taotao's breakfast.
The children were making so much noise that they finally woke Bai Taotao up.
After eating the breakfast that Song Zhi had heated up for her, Taotao thought: Where should we go for fun today?
Hongdou said, "Fourth Aunt, let's go to the park! Before the holiday, the teacher said that there will be a chrysanthemum exhibition in the park during the Spring Festival, and we should go to see it and then write an essay!"
Taotao waved her hand, "Let's go! Let's go to the park!"
However, the park is quite far from the Municipal Party Committee compound, and you have to transfer at the bus station next to the train station.
Taotao packed up and went out hand in hand with Green Bean, Song Zhi with Potato, and Red Bean and Yellow Bean. The six of them got on the bus together and took a bus before they arrived at the park.
On this very cold day, the leaves on the sycamore trees planted on both sides of the street have all fallen off, making the winter look particularly pale and bleak. But the colorful chrysanthemums in the chrysanthemum garden in the park are blooming particularly brightly.
Taotao loves beauty very much and is more excited than the children. She keeps going into the chrysanthemum garden, looking at this flower and smelling that flower... She wants to pick the most beautiful king of chrysanthemums, but she thinks this one is pretty and that one is not bad either. It is really hard to choose!
After having a great time shopping, the aunt and nephew came out.
Song Zhi bought five candied haws at the park entrance, one each for Taotao and the four little Douzis!
Taotao asked to take a photo again.
Song Zhi went to a nearby photo studio and called a photographer to take a full photo of him, Taotao, and the four little Douzi. He also took individual portraits of the little Douzi, and a group photo of him and Taotao...
Taotao was finally happy, and she walked back contentedly with Song Zhi and the little beans.
You still need to transfer at the train station.
However, they played too much outside today. When they arrived at the train station, it was already 1:30 in the afternoon. Taotao and a few little Douzi were very hungry, so they asked Song Zhi to buy some meat buns. Everyone ate one to satisfy their hunger and then went home to eat.
Song Zhi went to find the vendor selling buns, and Taotao waited at the train station with the children.
A burst of crying suddenly sounded -
"Lian Chunmei! I gave you face and you are so proud of it! Did I give you face and you are shameless? I'm telling you, don't go too far!"
"How did I go too far? Wang Huimin slept with Shen Pingxiang before divorcing me. Now Shen Pingxiang is pregnant and calls him dear... But Wang Huimin and I haven't divorced yet. Ask yourself with your conscience, who is the one who is immoral?"
"My brother and you no longer have feelings for each other. It's useless to force it! Get a divorce now! It will be good for both you and him!"
"I won't agree to a divorce! Unless... unless you pay money to cure Xiao Niuniu's illness! As long as Xiao Niuniu can recover, I will sign the divorce agreement immediately!"
"Are you kidding me? She is a money-loser and has such a serious disease. My parents and my brother are
