Tao Xiaoxi didn't want Li Nanshan to send her off, so Li Nanshan got up early the next morning and went out. Tao Xiaoxi thought he was going to the fields, but he came back after a while with two steamed buns in his hands.
"Did you go out to rob so early in the morning?" Tao Xiaoxi said with a smile.
Li Nanshan had never heard such a cold joke before, and was a little confused for a moment. He replied honestly, "No, my mother gave it to me."
"Oh, your mother gave it to you." Tao Xiaoxi thought, didn't you ask for it on your own initiative?
Li Nanshan did not tell the truth. He took the initiative to go back and get it. When he got it, the second sister-in-law was there and was very unhappy. Mrs. Li originally wanted to take another one, but she was afraid of the second daughter-in-law. Li Nanshan did not want to cause trouble. He thought two were enough, one for his wife and Beibei, just right.
When I went there, Old Man Li was not at home.
"Eat. You'll have more energy to ride a bike after you're full." Li Nanshan raised the steamed bun in his hand.
Two steamed buns, a bowl of sweet potato porridge, and a plate of pickled cabbage, the family of three was only about 50% full, and the remaining 40% to 50% was all generated by love.
Even though Beibei is so young, she can clearly feel that the new home her mother gave her is different from her original home. This home makes her feel safe and comfortable. Although she is so young, she doesn’t know what love is, nor does she understand what atmosphere is, but she is indeed living in an atmosphere full of love.
After breakfast, Li Nanshan had already taken his wife's bicycle out, oiled it, and checked the chain and pedals to make sure there were no hidden faults. He then handed it to his wife and repeatedly reminded her, "Comrade Tao Xiaoxi, please ride carefully and don't be distracted." Finally, he added, "Go early and return early."
Tao Xiaoxi was amused by his full sense of ritual. "I'm just going to the county town, not the provincial capital. Besides, it's not my first time there. Is it worth all these nagging and warnings?"
"Anyway, be careful."
Tao Xiaoxi said with disdain, but forgot one thing, pushed the bicycle, and stepped on it.
"Can you climb over it?" Li Nanshan was very surprised.
"Sure, what's so difficult about that?" Tao Xiaoxi didn't care.
"I didn't expect you to grow taller." Li Nanshan crossed his arms across his chest, looking as if he had realized it.
"Ah, what did you say? I can't hear you. I'm leaving..." Tao Xiaoxi came to his senses, pretended to be stupid, and ran away.
It seems that this woman had already cast her net for him. That time, when she asked to borrow his bicycle, she couldn't even get on it. But today, she did it so smoothly and effortlessly. Haha, it doesn't matter. He was willing to be that fish and fall into her fishing net.
As soon as Tao Xiaoxi left, a man came to the house. He was an old acquaintance - Li Maogen, Li Nanshan's father.
"Dad, you're here." Li Nanshan greeted.
Li Maogen snorted, thinking it was okay, so he didn't ask why he was here. "Well, I came to see how you're doing. Can you eat enough?"
"It's okay. At least I didn't starve to death." Li Nanshan is also very capable. His father is sarcastic, so he is also a gangster.
Old man Li glared at his son with his hands behind his back. "Isn't she capable? She can pay Nan Qiu's tuition, so why can't she make steamed buns for you?"
It turned out that they came for those two steamed buns. Li Nanshan's heart sank, "I will return those two steamed buns tomorrow."
Old man Li kicked the stool beside him over with a loud thud, "Who asked you to return the steamed bun? It's so embarrassing!" He didn't expect that this sentence would irritate him.
Li Nanshan was both angry and amused, "Then what do you want?"
"Can you listen to me if I ask you to?"
"Some things can be done and some things cannot be done." Li Nanshan said honestly.
Old man Li sighed repeatedly and began to breathe heavily. He picked up the stool he had kicked over and sat down. "Have you finished the medicine shed?"
"It's just a matter of covering it with film."
"Why don't you build it?"
“I haven’t bought the membrane yet.”
"Why not buy it?"
"No money."
…
The end of the chat is no money.
Old man Li puffed on his pipe and frowned. "No money means nothing. Is there nothing we can do? There are ways to live without money. Can a living person die from holding his urine?"
As he was talking, he stood up and walked around, and then walked back.
Li Nanshan looked at his father's back. The old man had been very proud and strong-willed all his life. Now that he was old, he had lost his face and could no longer be strong. His back looked a little lonely.
What did his father mean when he said that even if you don't have money, you can still live your life? Li Nanshan scratched his head. A penny can really make a hero fall.
Tao Xiaoxi rode to the alley around the corner not far from the pharmacy. Seeing no one around, she took the herbs out of her space and hired a cart to take them to the pharmacy. Because it was not far, it cost her only twenty cents, but even that was painful.
Zhao Bin came out personally to help her move the goods, and Tao Xiaoxi asked where Xiaosong had gone.
"I went on a date." Zhao Bin replied.
"Date?" She hadn't heard this word for a long, long time. It seemed like a lifetime ago, familiar yet strange.
"His sister found him a date and took him to the movies." Zhao Bin smiled.
"Is your wife here today?" Tao Xiaoxi lowered his voice.
"I'm here, let's have lunch here."
Tao Xiaoxi waved her hands repeatedly, "No need, no need. I'll leave after delivering the medicine." She was afraid to avoid him. Tao Xiaoxi had tasted Zhao Bin's wife's cooking, and it couldn't be described in words; "astonishing" was barely enough to describe it. Sweet and sour pork intestines, steamed duck pear and egg, and stir-fried bitter melon with lotus seeds were all her specialties, dishes Tao Xiaoxi would never forget after trying them once.
Zhao Bin seemed a little helpless, "Actually, some of her dishes are pretty good."
"For example?" Tao Xiaoxi asked.
