Chapter 60
Liu Qiaoxian and Taohua, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, chatted and laughed and quickly sewed the quilt. Next, they had to sew the mattress. However, Taohua discovered that there were faint stains on the inside of the mattress, as if they were left when she and Da Jun slept. Her face suddenly turned reddish, and she covered the stained mattress and hurriedly said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, go and have a rest. I can do the rest by myself."
Liu Qiaoxian thought this was her daughter-in-law trying to be polite to her. She smiled and said, "Okay, you can sew the mattress. I will sew a few more stitches and the quilt will be completely finished."
Taohua said, "I've been tired for a long time. I'll do the rest. Just leave it alone."
Liu Qiaoxian responded: "Okay then, I'll go see your father."
Taohua watched her mother-in-law get off the bed, put on her shoes and go to the house. Then she opened the mattress and spread the cotton wool on it. As she sewed the mattress, she remembered Liu Haitao's words. He, an outsider, could do anything about Dajun and Lijuan. I can see clearly, did he know about Dajun and Lijuan earlier? Is this the reason why he treats me like this again and again? But every time he said that he really likes me, and also said that if I get close to him He would rather never marry, but I don’t know if he really means what he said? He said that he would pretend to be a big fat boy for me so that I and Dajun could have a wife. I believe this because it was also given to me by my mother-in-law. His mission is to obey his aunt.
At this moment, Taohua felt very conflicted about her treatment of the two men, Liu Dajun and Liu Haitao. One was her husband whom she loved deeply, but he had almost nothing except the love and status he gave her. , including raising a family or delaying the birth of children, and the old traditional rural concept of "there are three unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the worst", these he has lost the function of having a suburb; while the other is just the opposite, in addition to love and status, he has Almost anything can be done and meet her needs.
Just because Taohua gradually had this idea, she also realized what she could rely on to ensure her future life. After all, she was a woman, and she was a little woman born and raised in the countryside. When she faced the illusory future world, she She had no choice but to choose reality. For the sake of one old concept, she chose behaviors and thoughts that were contrary to another old concept of "Three Guidelines and Five Constant Rules". She was forced by life. Whose fault is it? I'm afraid it is difficult for anyone to tell clearly! The fact that she has declined On the head.
"Peach Blossom, the sun is going down soon. When will the army come back? Go to Naughty's yard and collect your clothes." Her mother-in-law walked to the yard and said to her, "I'm going to get firewood to prepare for cooking."
"I know, Mom, I'll go right away." Taohua agreed, stretching her neck and looking through the glass to see her mother-in-law heading out the door, so she got off the kang and went into the courtyard.
Sure enough, the sun has gone down, and the gray sky is still changing in various ways through a few red clouds...
Taohua reached out and combed her hair back, brushed off the cotton wool on her body with both hands, and then stepped out of the door of her house.
As she walked on the street, she was still wondering in her mind. She didn't know what would happen ahead? What exactly would be the outcome waiting for her in the future?
"Oh, let's leave it to fate." This was a lament from the bottom of her heart!
She resolutely stepped into Liu Haitao's door. She didn't say anything, but silently packed up the clothes that had been dried. She took off the clothes one by one from the rope and held them in her arms. When the last piece was left, Suddenly, a pair of thick hands picked her up from behind along with the clothes in her arms. "Ah!" She screamed in panic. She quickly turned around and saw that it was Liu Haitao's enemy again. She shouted in a low voice: " Put me down quickly."
No matter what he said, it was of no use. Liu Haitao took her into the room and gently laid her flat on the kang. He tore the clothes off her arms piece by piece. Then he reached out and held her head, leaned down and pointed it with his mouth.
Her red lips...
"Shh--" Taohua blocked her mouth with one hand, pointed to the outside with the other and said, "Why are you anxious? The door is still open."
Liu Haitao smiled and nodded understandingly, put down the peach blossoms, turned around and closed the door...
The sun was setting over the western mountains, and the twilight was vast. Even the house sparrows were looking for a place to perch. Even when the army returned home from the melon garden, there was still no peach blossom back. So Liu Qiaoxian was afraid that the army would look for the peach blossom, so she quickly arranged for him to have dinner first, but she herself
She walked up to Liu Haitao's door. Seeing that the door was ajar, she gently pushed it open and walked to the courtyard. In the courtyard, she could vaguely see the
The general outline, but there was no light in the room, and no movement could be heard. She thought Liu Haitao was not at home, but then she thought: Where did the peach blossom go? She approached the door and listened carefully, only to hear "whirring" in the room.
"The ground gasped, and then she heard a low "hum" and whispers. Aunt Liu's heart brightened, and she understood what was happening in the room.
Afraid of frightening them, Liu Qiaoxian returned to the gate and deliberately raised his voice and shouted: "Naughty! Is Peach Blossom here? It's time to go home for dinner!"
When I shouted out with this voice, I heard two "gudong, gudong" sounds in the room, and then it became quiet again.
Liu Qiaoxian was already outside the courtyard gate. She scratched the crack in the door to see what was going on. After a while, two figures, one tall and one short, slowly walked out of the house. They looked around for a few times. The one walking in front
The short figure quickly ran towards the door.
When Liu Qiaoxian saw him, she was sure that this person was Tao Hua. She hurriedly took a few steps home to avoid being embarrassed if she bumped into him.
Taohua's footsteps were very fast. After walking a few steps out of the gate, she saw her mother-in-law in front of her. She called out and asked, "Mom! Is it you?"
Liu Qiaoxian stopped and turned around to agree, pretending not to know anything: "Oh, it's Peach Blossom? Where have you been? The army is back, and he is looking for you."
Of course Taohua understood that this was her mother-in-law trying to give her a step down, and she also reminded herself deliberately. She thought to herself: How could my mother-in-law not know where I am going?
With this thought in mind, she confessed to her mother-in-law in a low voice: "I was in the naughty house, and he took me..."
"Stop talking, I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything, I don't know anything, but you must not let the army know about this. Did you hear that?"
"Mom, do I think I can hide this? If you hide it today, can you hide it tomorrow? What if I really get pregnant?"
"You can hide it for as long as you can. Take your time. Anyway, you can't let him know it right now."
"Yes." Taohua agreed, then whispered to her mother-in-law, "I feel very embarrassed about what happened today, and I feel so sorry for the army. I really don't have the face to see him."
Aunt Liu complained: "Why are you so disobedient? Don't mention this to anyone in the future. Stop talking about it. Do what you should do when you get home. Don't be so nervous. Don't we just want children? We are in the countryside here.
People have always had the habit of borrowing children to establish roots. What’s so shameless about this? Really.”
Of course Taohua knew what her mother-in-law was referring to when she said "borrowing children to take root". This was really not uncommon in our rural areas, but it was only done when people had no sons, but Da Jun was at home! Even in
In this regard he is
It's just a decoration, but after all, it's a living person, the husband I'm married to. Alas, it's useless to say anything at this point, so don't think too much about it, just take a step and see what happens.
When the sky falls, my mother-in-law holds me up.
Liu Qiaoxian and Taohua entered the house side by side. Although they each had their own concerns and ideas, they did not dare to reveal any clues about what happened today in front of the army because they were afraid that the army would not be able to withstand such a severe blow for the time being.
"Good guy, my wife has worked hard and washed so many clothes." Dajun heard the noise and came out of the back room. He asked Aunt Liu and Taohua: "You haven't eaten at all, have you? Shall I serve it to you?"
Liu Qiaoxian first laughed and scolded: "You brat, you don't have your mother's fake star. When did you serve us a meal? The sun rises from the west today, right?"
Taohua washed her face, and while wiping it, she said, "Mom, can't you see your son's intentions? He probably wants something from us."
"Well, a little bit, this guy has this kind of virtue." Aunt Liu asked the army: "Tell me, what do you want us to do?"
Dajun pulled up a stool and sat in front of the dining table, grinning and saying, "I'm not asking you to do anything, and this matter is not my fault. That's right, Taohua and I originally planned to ask Xiaobao to recognize us as godfathers and godmothers.
, I discussed it with Lijuan later today, and she happily agreed.
She said that she would bring Xiaobao over tonight to settle the matter. She said that our two families would talk to each other face to face, and then ask Xiaobao to kowtow to me and Taohua to recognize his godfather and godmother, and then give it to my father.
If you kowtow to your mother, you will recognize your grandpa and grandma. In this way, your little baby’s father, mother, and grandparents will be complete.”
Liu Qiaoxian smiled and praised repeatedly: "Okay, okay, that's good. It's such a happy event. Your father and I really miss Xiaobao. When will Lijuan and the others come over?"
Dajun said dejectedly: "What are you coming for? We were walking back from the melon garden just fine, but when we got home, she suddenly changed her mind and said we should wait until later."
Taohua asked hurriedly: "Why? Humph, did you make her angry?"
"No, I don't know why she changed her mind either, really." Dajun became a little anxious and said, "So I want you and your mother to go to her house after dinner and ask her why she changed her mind?"
At this time, Liu Qiaoxian put down her bowls and chopsticks, and said thoughtfully: "Hey, this girl Lijuan must have considered the difficulties. She has something to say that she can't say."
