Chapter 018 Tenderness on the tip of the needle
After lunch, Liu Haitao left busy with his work.
Taohua was barely a year old when she married, and her household registration was still in her parents' family. Her husband's production team did not allow her to work to earn work points, so like her mother-in-law, she could only do housework around the cooking pot.
The two main workers in the family are the father-in-law and her husband Da Jun, but now both of them are injured and have lost the ability to work. Now the only one in the family who can earn work points is the father-in-law because he is injured on the job, and she and Da Jun have become idlers.
.
Just because they were full and had nothing to do, Dajun insisted on walking around, but Taohua couldn't control him, so she had to accompany him out.
Dajun has been bored in the hospital for three months. It would be good to go outside the village to relax, but Taohua is afraid that he will be tired.
At this time, autumn is in full swing outside the village. Looking from a high place, one can see a riot of colors, including snow-white cotton, fiery red sorghum, golden soybeans and corn... as well as mature apple and pear trees.
Taohua and Dajun came to the trail outside the village, talking and laughing happily, admiring the pastoral scenery as they walked.
They swam around and came to the small river to the west of the village. This small river was the boundary river between their two villages. It was not too wide. It was only 180 meters from the dams on both sides. There was also a river in the middle.
The deeper ditch is about ten meters wide.
Originally, this small river ditch had water all year round, and people could sometimes catch small fish from the river ditch. However, since the superiors called for major water conservancy repairs, not to mention the entire river has been dry all year round. Even this small river ditch has been dry all year round, except during the rainy season.
, occasionally save some rainwater, and it will dry up immediately after autumn.
At this time, in the small river ditch, the water in the rainy season has not yet completely seeped out, and there are a few puddles intermittently.
Both villages have planted trees on both sides of the small river ditch, including some fruit trees; crops have also been planted on the riverbanks. In those years, agriculture was vigorously developed. Isn't there a slogan called "Learn from Dazhai in agriculture", so each village has no idle time.
Land has definitely created miracles of agricultural development and self-sufficiency.
Although it has entered late autumn, the weather is still very hot in the afternoon.
Taohua and Dajun walked around and felt a little sweat on their bodies, so they came to the red fruit tree by the river. It was here that they first met. Dajun asked: "Do you still remember this place? Hehe."
Taohua smiled: "Of course I remember, it was here that you deceived me. Oh, you came here just to show me this? You bad guy."
"No, I'm really tired and want to cool off under this tree."
Taohua picked up some hay to lay the ground. As soon as the two sat down, they suddenly felt much cooler.
When Taohua saw large beads of sweat appearing on Dajun's forehead, she quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped his sweat while asking: "How are you? Are you tired? Why are you sweating so much?"
Dajun said: "After staying in the hospital for such a long time and not doing anything, I felt a little tired after walking. I just need to rest for a while."
Taohua looked around, and she concluded that there was absolutely no one else here at this time. She wiped the sweat off Dajun's head, then reached out and took Dajun's head into her arms, massaging his head. Maybe this would help.
Let the army relieve some fatigue.
Da Jun lay in Tao Hua's arms and rested comfortably for a while. After he regained his strength, his hands began to become unreliable.
"Okay, let people see it." Taohua pushed his hand but did not push it away.
"Hehe, I remember the first time we were here, I didn't dare to make a move. The second time, it was like this..., right?"
"You tricked me twice. It's because of you that I didn't go to high school. My uncle also said that as long as I go to high school, he can recommend me to go to college. After graduation, I can still work in the city. In the future
If you have an iron rice bowl, you won't have to worry about food and clothing." Taohua talked eloquently.
"Yeah, you're all blaming me for delaying you." Dajun suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What's the name of your uncle Qin Dachuan, right? That guy is really capable. I heard that his connections can reach the heavens."
, right?”
"I don't know how capable he is. Anyway, my mother told me: 'Don't talk about us, a small commoner. Even the secretary of the county party committee is afraid of his strength. Who wouldn't listen to him and give it a try?' So the people in my village
They are all afraid of him."
"No, I heard that Fu Lanhua is not afraid of him."
"Yes, that's what people in my village say. However, Sister Lanhua's father is an old soldier. She has served as a soldier and is a party member. This is called 'Miao Honggen's toughness'. Her brother Fu Jun participated in the Sino-Vietnamese Self-Defense Counterattack."
, she is still an officer in the army, and her husband Ying Xiang is also an officer. Of course she is not afraid of him. Unless it is her, who would dare to hit someone else? Humph, I’m afraid the whole village doesn’t have this.
Courage." Taohua sighed and said: "Well, it's my uncle. When he heard that I would never go to school, he came to our house, scolded us, and insisted on marrying me to his cousin.
Son Zheng Chujiang, if I don’t do it, I will talk back to him and say: ‘That second hell king drinks and makes trouble all day long and does not do his job properly. If you beat him to death, I won’t marry him.’ Hehe, guess what? I was so angry that he stomped away.”
"Can he spare you this time?"
"My parents were frightened now, so they quickly went to his house to apologize. Hehe, my uncle didn't dare to scold my mother, but he scolded my father to death, saying: 'You can't control the daughter you raised.
,I update
No matter what, she contradicted me, what can a daughter of hers do to her? Just think of her as a spoiled child for me, peach blossom, her father, you, you, you are a waste!’ I was so scared that my father dared not say a word.”
Dajun lay in her arms, squinting his eyes, listening to her story quietly. Taohua smiled slightly, shook her head and continued: "Just the day before yesterday when I went back to my parents' house, my mother told me that for my marriage, I
My uncle is still angry with me."
Da Jun closed his eyes and asked, "Good guy, no wonder I dare to offend him. He really holds a grudge after we have been making trouble for a long time."
Taohua poked Da Jun's forehead and said, "Isn't that right? Isn't this all for you?"
"Haha... Anyway, no one else has encountered such a little daughter-in-law, but I did, hehe, ouch."
Taohua slapped him hard on the forehead and said, "You bad guy, just stay with me from now on."
Da Jun let go of his hand, sat up and said, "It's okay, I will listen to you from now on." He reached out and hugged Tao Hua again.
"Go away, let go." Taohua struggled out of Dajun's arms and said to him: "Dajun, please stop making trouble for now. I'll tell you something serious."
"What's so mysterious?"
"You can no longer hide your condition. Your mother already knows about it."
"I, the sick girl, knew this all along."
"What? It's your infertility disease."
Dajun suddenly realized, and he asked: "How did my mother know? She must not be able to bear what happened now. Before I got married, she had been looking forward to me getting married and having grandchildren all day long. When I got married, she was even more worried.
Thinking and looking forward to having a grandson, she told people, 'I can have a grandson next year too'."
Da Jun sighed and continued: "My mother is a competitive old lady. She is different from other rural women in many ways. I have never heard her boss, who has a rich family and a poor family, gossiping in front of others.
I have never heard her nagging endlessly, and she never yelled or complained to others about no matter how difficult it was. My father is well-known in the village as a good old man, and he is always good at everything.
Afraid of wolves in the east and tigers in the west, fall out
The next leaf was afraid of being smashed on the head, so my mother became the backbone of my father. She had the final say in all matters in the family, and she gradually developed a character and temperament that dared to speak and act. However, no matter what
What's wrong
She always keeps things in her heart and carries them alone. She feels that it is useless to tell anyone about some things. In fact, what I am most worried about is my mother, for fear that she will do something bad if she holds it in. Alas, she is
How do you know?"
Taohua said: "It was the doctor who told her when you were hospitalized this time. You are right. She has been keeping it in her heart since she found out. She didn't dare to tell me because she was afraid that I would divorce you. I think I am a mother-in-law.
My heart is so tired. I feel distressed and pitiful about her. She worked wholeheartedly for your Liu family, worked hard and broke her heart. She is truly a typical good wife and loving mother."
"I can imagine how lost and sad my mother felt at that time after her hope of having a grandson was shattered."
"If it doesn't work, I'll go to Beijing and see you. Maybe I can cure it."
"It's no use. Didn't the doctor tell us? It turns out that I was born infertile, ugh." Dajun stared blankly at the blue sky through the gaps in the branches. He asked Taohua: "Tell me the truth, do you dislike me?"
Are you really divorcing me?"
Taohua glared at him unhappily: "Why are you so crazy? If I had that intention, why would I wait until you now? It's rare."
