Chapter 189 - engagement banquet (1)
The Taotao family returned to their small courtyard.
“It’s too tiring…”
She was lazy on the sofa and didn’t want to move at all, “We’ve only been back for three days! I’m so tired now that I can’t even move my fingers! Song zhi, all the housework today is yours!”
“Well, it’s all mine,” he said with a good temper.
—— After staying abroad for more than two years, he has been alone. He missed Tao Tao and the children like crazy every day. In order not to let this kind of thinking become negative energy, he made a lot of study plans for himself and strictly implemented them. But when he fell asleep, he would always dream of his wife and children.
He dreamed of them… well.
Taotao never thinks how heavy housework is. She is very smart and will make arrangements to complete a lot of housework in the least amount of time; she will even ask the children to share the housework, or guide the children to do the housework in the way of games…
Their mother and son’s relationship is also getting better and better while playing (home) drama (service).
They don’t seem to need him.
This is also the most anxious in Song Zhi’s heart.
Now that he is back, he is willing to do housework for their mother and son.
Their dependence on him is the sense of security he dreams of.
Tao Tao is exhausted, but the two little guys are not tired. Not only are they not tired, but they are also very motivated!
“Dad, let me help you with the housework!”
“Dad, I do housework better than you…”
Feifei and Momo shouted happily.
Song Zhi smiled.
He carried Tao Tao, who was lazy and muddy, upstairs to rest, and then went downstairs to chat and laugh with the two children. The father and son cleaned and cleaned the outside of the house, and then made a hearty dinner.
Taotao was awakened by the tempting aroma of food in her sleep.
Today’s breakfast was too late, and when she was having a feast at noon, she had no appetite because she was too full and the dishes were too greasy. In the end, she ate two chopsticks, and drank some soup, dessert, etc., and forget it.
so that…
So hungry now!
She got out of bed barefoot and stood by the window looking into the distance. Seeing that the setting sun was about to fall to the horizon, the dazzling light became gentle and lovely, the trees and flowers in the yard finally regained their strength, lush green, a few boys and girls in the distance were hopscotch, rolling iron rings… …
I don’t know which mother roared–
“…Come back for dinner!”
The children scattered as birds and beasts, and ran away for a while.
Tao Tao smiled.
The sound of thumping footsteps came from far to near.
As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Momo.
Tao Tao is full of sleep, in good spirits, and in a good mood, so she decides to play a little prank.
She quickly hid in the closet.
She is slender and soft, hiding in the closet, closing the door with her backhand…
Mo Mo ran in with a soft voice, “Mom! Dad is ready to cook, let’s go down to eat…”
Before he could say a word, Momo’s eyes widened in surprise, “Mom? Mom!”
-Why isn’t mom in the house?
The little guy called his mother and looked everywhere. Behind the door, behind the curtains, under the bed, in the bathroom, and even to the room next door to him and his brother… Finally found the rooftop again, but no one was there?
Mo Mo was anxious, “Mom! Mom!”
He went to the corridor and shouted, “Dad! Mom and Dad are gone!”
Song Zhi: …
Feifei became anxious when he heard this, and ran up to him, “What’s the matter? Where’s mom?”
“I don’t know! Mom is not here, has she gone out?” Mo Mo said anxiously.
Feifei also searched the inside and outside of the second floor. He was more careful than his younger brother, and even opened the wardrobe and looked at it.
However, he opened the two cabinet doors that could hang clothes, and he didn’t even open the other half of the cabinets at all-because the other two wardrobes were cubicles, and even he and his younger brother couldn’t get in, so it was impossible for his mother to open it. inside.
Feifei couldn’t find Taotao either.
At this time, Song Zhi came up, “What’s wrong?”
“Dad! Mommy is gone?”
“Mom! Mom… woo woo my mom is gone!”
The two children screamed in panic.
Song Zhi also wandered around the room, and finally his eyes fell on the wardrobe in the room.
——There are not many places to hide people in the house. If she really hides, she is probably hiding in the closet.
However, the big cabinet door has been opened by the children, and it can be confirmed that Tao Tao is not inside.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly.
So she’s so naughty? Hiding in a small cubicle?
Is her… body so soft?
Song Zhi’s eyes darkened.
He gently closed the cabinet door that was opened by Feifei, and said, “Okay, let’s go out first, your mother will appear in a while.”
The two children said anxiously:
“why?”
“Dad, where is my mother now?”
Song Zhi thought for a while and said, “Your mother can become magic.”
After all, Feifei is older and doesn’t believe it at all, “No way!”
But Mo Mo believed it, “Really? Why didn’t my mother tell me before? Dad, does my mother know the magic of stealth? Can you teach me?”
Song Zhi, “Well, let’s go out first, close the door of the room, and within three minutes, your mother will appear.”
He went out with the kids.
Tao Tao, who was hiding in the closet, quickly came out and ran to the bed to fall asleep.
Soon, Momo pushed open the door, looked carefully, and her eyes lit up, “Mom!”
Tao Tao pretended to be still sleeping, and was just woken up by Mo Mo, “Who is it?”
“Mom! Where did you go just now?” Momo climbed onto the bed and hugged Taotao, “I came to you just now, but you weren’t there!”
Tao Tao pretended to say: “Oh my secret was discovered by you?”
“What secret?” Momo asked nervously.
Tao Tao said solemnly: “My secret is… Actually, I’m not a mortal, I’m a fairy!”
Mo Mo’s eyes widened, “That’s it?”
Peach: …
Hey, boy, what’s your look?
Momo waited for a while and saw that her mother was just staring at him?
Mo Mo decided to take the initiative to attack, “My mother is a fairy in the sky, this is no secret at all! Aunt Shanshan’s painting, isn’t it clear?”
Peach: ? ? ?
She remembered, and couldn’t help holding her forehead.
Guan Haishan did draw a lot of portraits of Tao Tao, and most of them were in ancient costumes and flying fairies. There are a total of thirty or forty pictures, big and small! Most of them are based on realistic oil paintings. In Guan Haishan’s oil painting, Tao Tao’s dress in the fairy world is expressed in detail!
Song Zhi and Feifei also entered the house.
Song Zhi’s sharp eyes found that the door of the wardrobe in the small cubicle was cracked…
He walked over, reached out and closed it.
As a result, how many times can it be closed?
Song Zhi opened the cabinet door and saw that Tao Tao was running too fast, and the slippers were stuck in the door crack, so that the wardrobe door could not be closed at all!
He was speechless, took out her slippers from the closet with a smile, bent over and placed them in front of the bed.
This scene was also seen by Feifei.
Feifei finally knew the secret of her mother being invisible, and couldn’t help but smile.
Only Mo Motian really thought that her mother could use stealth magic, and clamored for her to change into another one…
Until dinner time, Mo Mo was still making a fuss about Taotao, “Mom will change another one! Please change another one…”
Tao Tao was upset by her younger son, so she had to say, “Okay, okay, then I’ll… come and change it for you.”
Mo Mo immediately cheered up, sat upright and widened her eyes, vowing to see clearly how her mother was invisible!
Tao Tao slowly took a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in the ink bowl, “Son, eat ribs.”
“I’ll eat it later!” Mo Mo said seriously, “I’ll see how my mother transforms first!”
Saying that, the little guy stared at Tao Tao seriously without blinking.
Tao Tao looked at her son with a smile, but her hand made a gesture to Song zhi calmly.
Song Rank, who was sitting beside Momo, didn’t say a word, took away the spare ribs that Tao Tao had put in Momo’s bowl, ate it, and then put the meat bones next to Feifei’s bowl.
Feifei: ? ? ?
Taotao then asked Momo, “Little fool, why are you staring at me?”
Mo Mo said loudly, “I want to see my mother perform invisibility!”
Tao Tao, “The performance is over!”
Mo Mo was stunned, “But Mom, you are still in front of me, I, I can see you!”
Taotao kindly reminded him, “This time… it was Mom who made the pork ribs disappear from your bowl just now!”
Momo: ! ! !
Looking down-
really!
The sweet and sour steak that my mother piled in his bowl just now is gone, and only a small pool of red sauce and thick oil gravy remains on the white rice!
Momo’s eyes widened and she shouted in surprise, “Mom! Mom, you are amazing!”
Tao Tao said solemnly: “This time it’s not me who has become!”
Momo: ? ? ?
Taotao pointed to the piece of bone next to Feifei’s bowl, “This time it was your brother who changed it!”
Momo looked at Feifei again, and then at the piece of meat that was eaten cleanly, with no bones at all…
The little guy’s eyes were round and sparkling, and he exclaimed excitedly, “Brother, can you also stealth? Did your mother secretly teach you?”
Feifei looked helpless.
How could he have such a stupid brother?
“That’s what your mother lied to you!”
“Impossible! The ribs are in my bowl. Everyone hasn’t eaten yet. Only my mother took the ribs and put them in my bowl… Brother, why did you change my ribs! You! You, you, you…you And ate it!”
“That chop was eaten by Dad!”
“No, no, I didn’t even see it! I only saw the bones of the ribs beside my brother’s bowl! It must have been my brother who lost my ribs, and then secretly ate it… Brother! Brother, brother, I don’t want you to pay me Ribs, can you teach invisibility?
“Hey you’re a little fool!”
“If you teach me, I won’t be stupid… Brother! Brother, I will give you ribs. Can you teach me stealth…”
Tao Tao couldn’t help laughing, and ate the meal with a smile.
Song Zhi’s cooking skills are good. Today’s dinner consists of three dishes and one soup – sweet and sour pork ribs, fried eggplant and beans with soy sauce, light fried Chinese cabbage with minced garlic, and the children’s favorite egg drop soup.
In addition to Tao Tao, Song Zhi’s father and son are all lovers of meat.
Therefore, the portion of sweet and sour pork ribs is very large. He bought three and a half catties of pork ribs and made a big bowl full of them! Stew the ribs for half an hour, then coat them with starch and fry them in an oil pan until the surface is golden and crispy, then adjust the sweet and sour sauce, put them in the hot pan and stir fry the fried small ribs…
The taste is sweet and sour, and because the ribs have been stewed in advance and then fried, the skin is crispy and crispy, but the inside is soft and delicious! Simply not too tasty!
Taotao is very restrained in her diet, and she couldn’t help but eat a few more pieces.
In the process of eating, Feifei finally explained to his brother that his mother could not use stealth, so he just hid and played with his brother…
Momo was very hurt, holding his rice bowl and squinting his mouth, looking at Taotao aggrievedly, his big clear and innocent eyes were filled with “How can you lie to Momo when Momo is so cute”.
It wasn’t until Tao Tao agreed to play hide-and-seek with him after he finished eating… The little guy was full of blood and revived, happily eating sweet and sour pork ribs.
After dinner, Tao Tao went to wash the dishes.
——This is her agreement with Song Zhi before, one will cook and the other will wash the dishes!
Then the family really played hide-and-seek in their yard.
At the beginning, Taotao and Momo were a group, Song Zhi and Feifei were a group.
One group to hide, one group to find.
Taotao gave Momo an idea, saying: The most dangerous place is the safest place.
result–
Taotao dressed Momo in all kinds of weird looks at the specified time, making him stand in the most conspicuous place in the yard…
When Song Zhi and Feifei came to look for someone, at a glance, they could see the lovely Momo standing in the middle of the yard, trying to disguise as a bucket, a tree, or a sack.
They need to be very, very hard to hold back their laughter. They also pretended not to find Momo, until Tao Tao was found by them, and they also pretended not to find Momo… and lost the game because they couldn’t recognize Momo within the allotted time… …
All night, the small courtyard was full of laughter, and everyone had so much fun.
Late at night.
Song Zhi took the two children to take a bath, wash their hair, and use a dry towel to dry their short haircuts.
Tao Tao has already smoked a plate of mosquito coils in the children’s room, and wielded a fly swatter to wipe out all the mosquitoes in the room. The smell of mosquito coils is too strong. If you smoke it all night, the mosquitoes will be smoked to death, but people will have a headache the next day after waking up.
After confirming again and again that there were no mosquitoes in the children’s room, Taotao kissed the children’s fragrant foreheads and told them to go to bed early, then bent over and returned to her and Song zhi’s room with mosquito coils.
After a while, Song Zhi settled the children and returned to the master bedroom.
Tao Tao has finished shooting the mosquitoes, and is lying on the bed reading a book at the moment.
Song Zhi subconsciously looked at the wardrobe.
He walked over, opened the wardrobe door, and sure enough, in one of the narrow compartments on the first floor… a few clothes were messed up.
Come to think of it, Tao Tao was hiding here in the evening.
How could it be possible to hide an adult in such a small space?
No wonder Feifei wasn’t suspicious at all.
She’s… so soft.
I don’t know how soft it will be.
Song Zhi’s eyes were deep.
He turned to look at Tao Tao who was lying on the bed reading a book.
The beauty was still humming a little song, with her two white and slender legs up in the air, and she followed her melody one after another, dangling slightly.
Song Zhi silently packed the closet, then took a change of clothes and went to take a shower.
Tao Tao was reading a book when Song Zhi brought a whole body of water vapor and pressed him up.
“Don’t make trouble!”
She said unhappily, “It’s not half past ten yet!”
——Her and Song Zhi’s habit is to wait for the children to go to bed, then she and him will read a book for a while, or study again, and go to bed at half past ten at night.
It’s only twenty minutes away!
“I’ve already read the book when you went to bed in the afternoon,” Song Zhi whispered in her ear, “Keep reading your book and leave me alone.”
That’s what he said, but his hand…
Tao Tao narrowed her eyes.
The tips of her ears turned red.
this, this, this, this…
How does she read books? !
After a while, Da Bai Tao couldn’t breathe normally.
“Song Zhi-“
She protested.
He chuckled, “How did you hide in that cabinet in the afternoon?”
Ah?
Tao Tao couldn’t react.
Song Zhi took away the book, placed the big white peach, and carefully bent her into various shapes…
really–
The big white peach is incredibly soft.
Song Zhi looked down at the big white peach condescendingly, his eyes blazing with fire.
Tao Tao almost spent a sleepless night.
For the next two or three days, she lived a life that turned day and night upside down.
It wasn’t until a week later that life was back on track.
It’s still summer vacation, and there is still about half a month before school starts. Taotao went to the Children’s Palace to inquire about summer classes, signed Feifei a basketball class and a Go class, and signed a painting class and a calligraphy class to Momo.
As soon as Lili heard about it, she immediately enrolled Ming Lun in a basketball class and a composition class.
Xiao Mingchan wanted to play with Feifei, so she also signed up for a Go class.
The four cousins and cousins are about the same age and have more common topics.
Ming Lun grew up abroad, but his conditions in all aspects are actually the worst.
His father was not in good health and could not train him to love sports; he had entered a period of rebellion, hating his mother and unwilling to listen to his father’s discipline…
He is very fat, so Lili enrolled him in a basketball class; he has a poor Chinese foundation, so Lili enrolled him in a composition class again, hoping that he can adapt as soon as possible.
In the Children’s Palace, there are Feifei, Momo and Xiao Mingchan whom he knows, especially when he and Feifei play basketball together…
Ming Lun slowly adapted to life here.
During this period, Taotao and Song Zhi also reported to their respective units.
Taotao graduated with a doctorate this year and is applying for postdoctoral qualifications. She also needs to form her own research team.
Song Zhi has also begun to take students.
Everything is a new beginning.
Another week later, Bai Zhenzhu came over to find Taotao on a bicycle, saying that they would hold an engagement banquet for Ah Yao in three days, and told Taotao the time and address, and also said that she could not enter the family home where Xingxing lived. She was not allowed to enter the gate, so please tell Tao Tao.
Tao Tao responded with a smile, and stuffed White Pearl with a large bag of fruit hard candies that weighed at least seven or eight pounds!
This big bag of candy was sent by Wang Xuepeng.
Now the Shencheng side is pursuing reform and opening up, it is necessary to engage in a market economy, and it is necessary to make some people rich first and drive others to become rich.
Tao Tao’s biggest feeling is that there are more shops on the street
A few years ago, Wang Xuepeng, with Tao Tao’s money, has been secretly doing a little business, and he has already made a lot of money. Now that he has the opportunity to cross the Ming Road, he immediately went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to obtain a self-employed business license and opened a non-staple food wholesale department. Sell biscuits, candy, instant noodles and all non-staple food.
The weather was too hot last month, and the batch of high-end candies he brought in and returned were a little melted. Because of the high price, people who are willing to spend money to buy this kind of fruit candy will definitely not accept half-melted ones, so they can’t be sold. It’s a pity to throw it away. So he walked around on the tricycle and gave the batch of candies to relatives and friends.
Peach is also divided into a large bag.
One bag is ten pounds!
Taotao tried to repack these candies into small bags, put them in sealed iron cans, and then slammed them with cold water. After repeated several times, they rescued a lot of them.
However, the Taotao family couldn’t finish the ten-pound candy.
Even if they finish eating, they won’t let the kids eat that much!
Thinking of hoping that Sister Jin’s son will get married soon, this candy is just right as a reward. Taotao was ready early in the morning, and now Bai Zhuzhu came to announce the good news, and quickly took it out and handed it to her.
White Pearl waved his hand quickly, “No, no! These candies are expensive… You keep them for Feifei Momo.”
Tao Tao told the origin of the candy, and Bai Zhuo heard that it didn’t cost any money, so she accepted it, and said embarrassedly: “Then… I took advantage of you again! But I… have nothing in return. For you!”
Taotao smiled, “It’s not a very valuable thing. It’s mainly because it happens that A Yao is going to hold an engagement banquet. Isn’t this very suitable! Just take it, don’t think too much.”
White Pearl gratefully thanked Taotao again and again, and then left with the big bag of candy.
On that day, Tao Tao’s family of four rode two bicycles each, and it took nearly an hour to arrive at the scene of Ah Yao’s engagement banquet.
——It was in a town on the outskirts of Beijing. It is said that the wife’s family lived nearby. The engagement banquet was chosen in a restaurant without a signboard, located on the first floor of a two-story dwelling. There are more than a dozen Eight Immortals tables and chairs placed in the open air, each with a plastic shed on top.
The chef invited by Bai Pearl and the others built the stove with bricks and cooked firewood in the open air.
The air was filled with the rich and firework aroma of food.
The women and children of the third room were all dressed in neat and decent clothes.
Bai Panjin was dressed in red, her hair was combed back into a wad, and she laughed so hard that she couldn’t see her teeth. White Pearl was wearing suit pants and a floral shirt; Bai Jade was wearing a pink short-sleeved top and a dark blue knee-length skirt… Huihui and Tingting also wore new clothes.
The sisters met and chatted happily.
Tao Tao looked around and asked, “Where’s Ah Yao? Where’s the bride-to-be?”
Bai Panjin smiled and said, “He picked up his partner… His partner lives nearby and will arrive soon.”
After a while, Lili also arrived with the children.
She has a shuttle bus.
But in order to keep a low profile, Lili asked the driver to park two blocks away and walked over with the children. Ming Cheng, Ming Yong, Ming Lun, and Ming Chan are all there.
When the children got together, they were a little shy at first, but after taking a while to get acquainted again, there was nothing to do with the adults.
They go crazy on their own.
Taotao, Song Zhi, and Lili were greeted by the smiling Bai Panjin to the second seat. Bai Panjin also chatted with her for a while… But she was the mother of the groom-to-be after all, and she was soon called to greet the guests.
Tao Tao looked at the large plate of fried melon seeds, fried peanuts, biscuits and candies on the table and smiled, “Look at the third sister, Pearl and the others are quite real…”
Li Li glanced at it and smiled.
Look at these large plates of peanut and melon seed cookie candies!
Others also prepare these for their weddings, but they are basically packed in small plates; they are also packed in large plates, that is, several kinds of things are mixed together.
As for the white pearls, they all use an enamel tray to hold them!
So much so that the four large enamel trays for peanuts, melon seeds, biscuits and candies on each table directly covered the tabletop.
Taotao also recognized with sharp eyes that one of the plates of candy was given to her by Wang Xuepeng before, and she passed it on to White Pearl. But it may not be enough (nonsense, such a big plate, at least you have to put two kilograms to fill it up), so the white pearl is also equipped with some other cheap candies, mixed with the candies originally sent by Taotao , the colorful ones are pretty good too.
Li Li also noticed the high-end candy in the candy tray, so she picked up a piece of candy wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth.
“This kind of candy is delicious. I’ve eaten it before,” Lili said. “…It seems to be quite expensive. It seems that Sister Jin and the others are quite willing.”
Tao Tao did not speak, and pointed to herself with her thumb with a smile.
Li Li was stunned for a moment, and understood, “You gave it?”
Tao Tao told the origin of this candy.
Lili thought for a while, “I’m thinking about this candy… It’s a little bit of candy paper, but I can’t tell it’s half-melted!”
Taotao smiled and said, “Do you want it? I still have two pounds left there. When I fly to the Children’s Palace tomorrow, I will ask him to bring it over to Mingchan.”
Lili nodded, “Just take a dozen or so, but don’t take too much. If you eat too much of this stuff, you will gain weight and keep your teeth in place.”
Taotao laughed until the branches trembled, “A dozen or so… you’re sending beggars!”
Guests came one after another.
Soon, the two women at the next table started chatting.
“Hey, tell me, how much money can Mute give Yanyan as a dowry?”
“That must be quite a lot, or who would want to let their daughter marry a foreigner!”
“The problem is that Yanyan’s family is not very good! Some time ago, I heard Yanyan’s mother say that there are two younger brothers and a younger sister under Yanyan… Their family is so poor, Yanyan’s two younger brothers want to marry a daughter-in-law. , it all depends on Yanyan’s dowry money!”
“My God, how much does that cost?”
“I heard from Yanyan’s mother that this number must be obtained!”
“Five hundred?”
“Dream you! It’s five thousand! Five thousand dollars!”
“I’m sick, she wants 5,000 yuan! If the mute really has 5,000 yuan, why marry Yanyan! What beautiful girl can’t marry?”
“Hey, can you come up with 5,000 yuan for the mute?”
“That’s no nonsense! You can get 5,000 yuan? I hope you don’t know the economic conditions of Sister Jin? They are all honest people. It’s not bad to save 500 yuan for Ah Yao to marry a daughter-in-law. How can you get five thousand dollars!”
“I think so too, so today’s engagement banquet… In my opinion, it can’t be done!”
“Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“How dare I say it! I’m here today on behalf of the woman’s relatives! I hope Big Sister Jin and the others are from out of town, and they may leave at any time, but Yanyan’s family is in the same village as ours. , I don’t dare to say it! Besides, I am too… I met Yanyan’s mother this morning and asked her how much dowry A Yao gave to Yanyan, and she only said it! Or, you go and talk to Sister Panjin now ?”
“Come on, I don’t dare! This banquet is about to be held… Maybe Yanyan will be here soon! What if Yanyan’s mother figured out again and only accepts five hundred yuan as a dowry? Then I’m not… …become Zhu Bajie and look in the mirror, isn’t there a person inside or outside?”
Hearing this, Tao Tao frowned.
She and Lili looked at each other.
Lili winked at Taotao: Others are hiding this from Panjin and Pearl, but we can’t hide it.
Tao Tao nodded, got up and went out.
Bai Panjin, White Pearl and Bai Jade were standing at the door to welcome the guests, but the heads of the three sisters all looked in a certain direction——
Tao Tao pulled White Pearl aside and asked, “Have you agreed with the woman?”
“Say what?” White Pearl was a little confused.
Tao Tao said: “The dowry, dowry, wedding details, engagement banquet, future wedding banquets… Have all these been agreed?”
Bai Zhenzhu said strangely: “It’s all agreed! We paid 500 yuan for the betrothal gift, and the money has already been given to Yanyan’s family. We will pay for this engagement banquet. House! Yanyan’s family has a plot of land, and we build two houses next to each other, one for the young couple and one for our couple…”
Speaking of this, the smile on Bai Pearl’s face couldn’t stop, “When we build the house, we will do a wedding for them… As for the dowry, as long as Yanyan brings some quilts, clothes, etc. Ah Yao will do carpentry work, we will buy the wood and let him make the furniture according to Yan Yan’s preference…”
Tao Tao looked at the smile on Bai Pearl’s face and was speechless for a long time.
But Bai Zhenzhu noticed something and asked, “Tao Tao, what’s wrong?”
Taotao sighed and explained the chatter of the women at the next table she had just heard.
The white pearl suddenly changed color, “Five thousand dollars?”
Bai Panjin and Bai Feicui were also alerted, and they gathered around and asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Tao Tao said it again.
Bai Panjin was stunned.
Bai Feicui was very angry, and said angrily: “Hey, I said, Ayao has been gone for so long, why hasn’t he come back! So that’s how it is… I’m going to find him! He can’t speak, and he was caught by the Wang family. Even if you are bullied, you can’t speak!”
“Stop!” White Pearl shouted lowly.
Bai Feicui stood still and looked at her angrily, “Third sister! Are you letting the Wang family bully us like this?”
Bai Panjin said in panic, “But, but our five hundred dollars… have already been given to them! It’s in their hands!”
Bai Feicui, “Let’s go talk to her! If she, Wang Yanyan, is willing to marry our Ah Yao, then… it’s business as usual! If they don’t, let’s return the money to us!”
Bai Panjin said, “How about the money for the dinner today? We spent 200 yuan!”
Bai Zhenzhu hesitated for a while, then turned to look at Taotao, and said cautiously, “Tao Tao, accompany me to the Wang’s house, okay? Their house is not far from here…”
Then she explained, “I didn’t ask you to help me quarrel, I hope that with your presence… I can calm down a bit.”
Tao Tao nodded.
Bai Zhenzhu’s emotions gradually calmed down, “Then let’s go, I have to have a good talk with the Wang family.”
Bai Panjin wanted to cry, “Pearl, you have to… get justice for us!”
Bai Zhenzhu, “Okay, let’s greet the guests first! Calm down! What if there’s nothing wrong with the Wang family? Anyway, I’ll take a look and see what’s going on.”
Taotao looked at Song Zhi who was still sitting on the table.
Song Zhi’s eyes have been following her.
Seeing her look at him—
He immediately stood up and walked over.
Taotao said, “You are here watching the children. Pearl and I will go to Wang’s house… that is Ah Yao’s Yue’s house.”
Song Zhi could also hear the chatting content of the women at the next table just now.
This is Wangjia Village after all.
He was afraid that Taotao would suffer, so he raised his hand and called Feifei, who was playing on the side, “I have something to do with your mother and leave, and come back soon. You follow your third aunt when we’re not here, you know?”
Feifei was playing with his cousins and cousins and his whole body was covered in sweat. After listening to his father’s words, he smiled and nodded, and quickly ran over…
Song Zhi looked at Tao Tao, “Let’s go!”
Taotao was helpless and had no choice but to nod towards White Pearl.
Bai Zhuo hurried towards the Wang family with Tao Tao and Song Zhi.
It can be seen that White Pearl is very anxious.
She said to Taotao incoherently: “It’s been said before…really! Yesterday, I came to Yanyan’s mother specially to discuss the feast dishes. She, she has no other opinions!”
“To tell you the truth, we have worked hard to save the 500 yuan… We are not literate, and it is impossible to save 5,000 yuan! The situation of Yanyan’s family… is actually normal! What is the reason? Want us to take out five thousand dollars?”
Taotao couldn’t help but ask: “Ayao is only engaged to the woman, why did you send five hundred dollars in such a hurry?”
Bai Zhenzhu said: “Yanyan’s family is rushing! They also say that we are foreigners, and the girls in their village do not marry foreigners… They say that Yanyan is the first to marry a foreigner, and there is no sense of security…”
After a pause, White Pearl said again with a crying voice, “I thought… our family will be able to settle down in the future!”
Taotao sighed and said, “You can also go back to your hometown. Your household registrations are still there. Tell the village that you want to build a house on a plot of land. It’s not a big problem. Then give Ah Yao and the others their household registrations. Come on! Huihui and Tingting are also old enough to go to school…”
Bai Zhenzhu shook his head, “Our sisters don’t have a good reputation. If we go back, we will only live under the guidance of others. It’s not good for Ah Yao, Huihui and Tingting.”
She looked sad, and then explained to Taotao, “This matter has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to come forward… I called you over, mainly because I was worried and angry, and I would do the same thing that hurt Hongdou back then. So, if you find something wrong with me and I can’t control my temper, you must remind me, Tao Tao!”
Tao Tao nodded.
While speaking, Bai Zhenzhu brought Taotao and Song Zhi to the entrance of Wangjia Village.
This village is really not far from the town, and it takes about ten minutes to walk to the entrance of the village. There is a cement archway at the entrance of the village, with a horizontal plaque on it, and the three characters “Wangjia Village” are written on it. Under the archway is red paper that has been burned with firecrackers scattered all over the place, and many villagers have gathered here to point and point.
Seeing the White Pearl coming, the villagers started to talk about it——
“You came just in time! Come and see, something big has happened!”
“Pearl, your Ah Yao was beaten! Go to Yanyan’s house!”
“This Wang Qi is too domineering… a house of bad embryos!”
“Hey, it’s you people from outside the country who are tempted to marry the daughter of Wang Qi’s family! How stupid!”
“Yeah, in my opinion, this marriage can’t be done!”
White Pearl knew something was wrong, and quickly ran towards Wang Yanyan’s house.
Tao Tao and Song Zhi followed behind.
Soon, Taotao knew where Wang Yanyan’s family lived.
——The one that was surrounded by people watching the fun must be the one with nowhere to go!
Seeing that Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly arrived, the villagers who were watching the lively gave a “crash” and immediately gave way.
So Taotao saw that Ah Yao was kneeling upright at the door of a family’s house!
A Yao was wearing a cheap black suit with a white shirt underneath, and had a fresh shaved head, which looked a bit nondescript. But the victory is young, and it feels special to look at it.
He was kneeling on the ground now, his expression numb and his eyes blank.
When Bai Zhenzhu found Sister Panjin and A Yao, the child was already ten years old. But long-term malnutrition made him look like he was only six or seven years old.
And because he couldn’t speak, he was regarded as a waste by his beast father, who bullied him and beat him…
So this child is very timid, as long as he makes a mistake, he will take the initiative
