Post 80's Mother's Daily Routine

Chapter 66- 70

Chapter 066
Zhao's family hall fell into silence. Zhao's father was used to being a strict father and was not good at expressing his concern for his children. Zhao Weiguo could understand his father's worries, but he didn't know how to respond.

The atmosphere in the main room became a little weird. Zhao Linan, a child, was very good at checking the situation. The three-year-old child quietly hid by Xu Tao's legs: "Mom, is Grandpa going to beat Dad?"

"..." Father Zhao Looking at his grandson Zhao Linan and then at Zhao Weiguo, there were doubts in his eyes.

Are you speaking of me as vicious in front of your son?

Zhao Weiguo felt the doubt in Zhao's father's eyes, and felt a little wronged. Xu Tao rubbed the child's head in a funny way: "Stinky boy,

talk nonsense." Father and Zhao Weiguo had expectations in their voices.

Zhao Weiguo sighed helplessly. His eldest son seems to be looking forward to the tone of his beating.

Zhao's mother is very happy. She is cooking noodles in the kitchen next to her. Now she has chopped up the greens and added noodles, waiting for the noodles to be cooked. She walked out of the kitchen immediately, looking at Zhao Weiguo happily, her daughter-in-law Xu Tao, and her grandson Zhao Linan.

Seeing Zhao Linan's white and fat appearance, she had been worried that Xu Tao would not take good care of her child, and now she was relieved a lot.

"I know you're coming back, I've been looking forward to it these days! Just in time for Wei Qiang's wedding tomorrow." Zhao's mother said with a smile on her face.

The eldest son's family of three came back, and tomorrow the daughter's family will also come back for wedding wine. She felt happy just thinking about it.

"We just came back to drink the wedding wine because of the time. Wei Qiang is Wei Guo's younger brother. He is married, so he has to find a way to come back." Xu Tao said softly with her arms around Zhao Linan.

If Zhao Weiguo was still in the army, it would be understandable that he would not be able to come back without taking a leave of absence. Soldiers, sometimes they may not even have time to hold their own wedding, but now that Zhao Weiguo is discharged from the army, he naturally has to come back to participate.

"No, Wei Qiang didn't say anything, but he always hoped that you would come back." Mother Zhao nodded again and again, and after two sentences, she hurried into the kitchen, not forgetting the noodles she cooked in the pot.

"Sister-in-law, do I look good?" Zhao Weilan took off her light pink jacket, not afraid of the cold, and took off the gray clothes on her body. Now she put on the new clothes that Xu Tao bought for her, spread her hands, Turn around and ask.

"Well, it fits very well." Xu Tao looked at Zhao Weilan and nodded.

"Good-looking." Zhao Linan also nodded in cooperation: "But my mother is the most beautiful." The child thought that aunt Zhao Weilan looked good in new clothes, and praised her while protecting Xu Tao.

After all, in Zhao Linan's mind, her mother looks the best no matter what.

"You kid." Zhao Weilan smiled and walked to Zhao Linan's side, reaching out to tickle the child, but the child immediately smiled and hid, spinning around Xu Tao to escape.

Zhao Linan's hahaha laughter also gradually melted the atmosphere in the hall.

Soon, Mother Zhao also cooked the noodles and put them in a small porcelain bowl and brought them out: "Have you not eaten dinner? Are you hungry? Eat noodles to pamper your stomach."

"Thank you Mom!" Zhao Linan sat down on the table and ate noodles.

She was really hungry. She had been driving from Yangcheng to Wenzhou for two days, and she couldn't eat well on the road. This kind of noodle soup with fresh vegetables was really appetizing.

"Hurry up and eat." Zhao's mother packed a bowl of noodles for the three of them, and took out the soup spoon that was specially fed to Zhao Linan before, and held a small bowl of noodles in her hand to feed Zhao Linan.

"Xiao Nan, come, grandma will feed you noodles!" Zhao's mother, Song Xiaoyan, greeted Zhao Linan as she sat next to her with a smile.

Zhao Linan looked at Mother Zhao's face and shook her head solemnly: "Grandma, Xiaonan eats it by himself."

After half a year of training in Yangcheng, Xu Tao spoiled him, but he also attached great importance to the independence of children, so Zhao Linan didn't need to be fed for a long time, Mother Zhao took a look Zhao Linan said that he ate it, but he still didn't respond.

"My family's Xiaonan will eat noodles by herself!" After a while, Zhao's mother was delighted to see her grandson, dressed in warm clothes, wearing a small hat, and a ball-like grandson sitting on the seat, holding chopsticks and eating noodles cutely. .

"Well, our Xiaonan is very good and very good. He is an older child and has already eaten by himself, right?" Xu Tao echoed and praised, and she said to Zhao Linan with a smile after taking a mouthful of noodle soup.

"Well, mom is right." Zhao Linan nodded in agreement. The child who was praised was very happy.

Mother Zhao looked at Zhao Linan like this, and then looked at Xu Tao and Zhao Linan's intimate dialogue and interaction, knowing that Xu Tao took good care of the child, she was relieved and a little uncomfortable.

She has always been worried about Zhao Linan, and felt that Xu Tao did not seem to be a careful person, and raising children was a very tormenting thing. She was afraid that Zhao Linan would cry and Xu Tao would be impatient. When Zhao Linan and Xu Tao went to Yangcheng, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night.

I thought about whether the child was crying or not, and I thought about it a lot. Later, Xu Tao mailed a lot of photos back. From the photos, it could be seen that Zhao Linan was very happy and was well taken care of.

The photos did calm her worries, but Mother Zhao was still not at ease. Only when she saw Zhao Linan with her own eyes like she was now, could she completely let go of her heart.

"Dad, Mom, brother and sister-in-law, Weilan, take a look, is this Zhongshan suit suitable for me?" Zhao Weilan tried on the new clothes, and Zhao Weiqiang also returned to the room and put on a Zhongshan suit.

Zhao Weiqiang looks good. The 23-year-old boy works in the county factory. He is usually clean and white. Although he is different from Zhao Weiguo's masculinity, he is also very handsome.

"Good-looking, spirited." Zhao's mother stood up and looked at Zhao Weiqiang, nodding her head, stepped forward and patted Zhao Weiqiang's clothes, smiling from ear to ear.

"Good-looking, third brother, you will wear this tunic to get married tomorrow!" Zhao Weilan also nodded.

I'm used to seeing his second brother always wrapped in a big padded jacket, and suddenly he sees him put on a tunic suit, and he looks quite human.

"Well, I'll be getting married tomorrow." Zhao Weiqiang also likes it very much.

"Uncle looks good." Zhao Linan gave Zhao Weiqiang a thumbs up while eating the noodle soup, with a very cute little expression.

Zhao Weiqiang nodded and looked at his little nephew: "Our Xiaonan has the most vision."

"By the way, did you buy the car outside? Can I use that car to pick up my relatives tomorrow? I didn't borrow the bicycle." Zhao Weiqiang Thinking that he still has a headache about a bicycle, and now his brother and sister-in-law are driving home, can he use the car to pick up his relatives tomorrow?

A car is much better than a bicycle, so Sun Fang should be happy!

"The car was bought with a loan!" Zhao Weiguo nodded: "I can also lend it to you to pick up the relatives."

"Loan!" Zhao Weiqiang's eyes widened, and he turned back to his father subconsciously.

Zhao's father also looked up at Zhao Weiguo, his stern father's brows furrowed: "After you retired from the army, what kind of work did you do in Yangcheng? The army did not arrange a serious job?

" arrange.

"Yes, arrange for our county police station to be the deputy director." Zhao Weiguo said the truth while eating noodles, but when he was talking, he glanced at Xu Tao.

Xu Tao raised her eyebrows at the man after hearing the words while eating noodles. Deputy director? At the beginning, this person only told her that he was a small police officer. He didn't expect his position to be low, because he was afraid that she would know that he would be unhappy when he handed over the position of a deputy director to become a transport driver?

Frankly speaking, would Xu Tao calm down if he knew that Zhao Weiguo had given up his position as deputy director and returned from a transportation job? probably not.

However, Xu Tao understood that, after all, both Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo were on guard against each other at that time, and they did not take heart and lungs.

After more than half a year of marriage, the couple who were completely unfamiliar with each other just met, and he was discharged from the army. Zhao Weiguo's selective focus and simple explanation are not concealed.

"Then why didn't you come back?" Father Zhao asked, waiting for Zhao Weiguo to explain the follow-up.

Zhao Weiguo quickly finished a small bowl of noodles, took the rice bowl and put it in the small porcelain basin, and said at the same time: "I gave the work arrangement to my comrades in arms."

Everyone in the main room looked at Zhao Weiguo, Zhao Weiguo packed the noodles and put them down: "At that time, Xu Tao took Xiao Nan to accompany the army, and the leg injury appraisal report given to me by the army came down. I have a good job, my job is okay, it's pretty stable, and then I took out a loan to open a small company."

"Well, that's it." Xu Tao nodded in agreement.

Although she only knew that the job that Zhao Weiguo gave up was good, Xu Tao was not angry. After all, if Zhao Weiguo accepted the arrangement and returned to his hometown to be the deputy director, Taoyuan Company would not exist, and life would be completely different.

Xu Tao likes the current state of life very much, so she doesn't feel that the job that Zhao Weiguo gave up is a pity.

"Brother, don't you have to pay back the interest on the loan? I heard that the interest rate is very high, how much have you borrowed!" Zhao Weiqiang works in the county factory. He has heard of bank loans, but he doesn't know the specifics, but only knows that he has to pay it back. Interest, interest is also not low.

"Well, it's not low." Zhao Weiguo nodded.

"How much was the loan?" Father Zhao grabbed the pipe and looked at Zhao Weiguo to ask with a very serious expression.

Zhao Weiguo stopped eating noodles, glanced at Xu Tao, and then looked at Zhao's father: "Dad, Mom, don't ask, anyway, the loan amount is quite high."

Zhao Weiguo did not intend to lie to his parents, but he was also afraid of taking the loan. When the amount was said, the two elderly people were frightened.

Considering that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Zhao Weiqiang is going to get married tomorrow, Zhao Weiguo thinks it's better not to say the exact amount.

But how could a parent not ask because Zhao Weiguo said something, don't ask, Father Zhao looked at Zhao Weiguo with a serious face: "Say."

Zhao Weiguo sighed, looking at the resolute old father, a little helpless: "Thirty Ten thousand."

"..."

"..." The

Zhao family hall was quiet for a long time because of the number of three hundred thousand, everyone seemed to have stopped breathing, and everyone even suspected that their ears were hallucinating.

"...How much?" Zhao's father was relatively calm, but he was still surprised, looking at Zhao Weiguo and putting an egg in his mouth.

Three hundred thousand? His ears just heard right.

"Brother, did you say the wrong number? For example, 3,000? 30,000!" Zhao Weiqiang felt that the 30,000 loan had actually broken through his cognitive bottom line. He even felt that he was outrageous before he dared to say 30,000. words.

30,000 yuan, he works in a factory in the county town, and his salary is 52 yuan a month.

"No." Zhao Weiguo's tone was calm: "It was a loan of 300,000 yuan."

"..." Father Zhao was silent.

"..." Zhao Weiqiang also softened his legs.

"..." Not to mention Zhao Weilan, blinking like a quail.

Mother Zhao, Song Xiaoyan's face was instantly pale, sitting on the stool, her whole body was shaky and almost fainted: "Weiweiweiguo, you, you are not kidding us! You, how dare you, three hundred thousand, you can't It 's taking the lives of our entire family!"

Indeed, carrying a loan of 300,000 yuan this year is almost the same as taking the lives of a whole family.

Seeing the reaction of the Zhao family, Xu Tao also vaguely realized how scary it was when she proposed a loan of hundreds of thousands, but Zhao Weiguo seemed to be very calm at that time. Zhao Weiguo's calmness and support really made Xu Weiguo in a certain sense. Peach has the confidence.

And even though Xu Tao proposed to open a taxi in Taoyuan, she was basically talking about it, and Zhao Weiguo took all the responsibilities and terrifying risks after everything was done.

Xu Tao simply calculated all kinds of data to convince Zhao Weiguo that she had a big heart and felt that the 300,000 loan was not a big problem, but until now, seeing the shock of everyone in the Zhao family, Xu Tao couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

It is indeed terrifying, but if the Taoyuan Company does not start up or if there is a small error in it, it can kill Zhao Weiguo, Xu Tao thought, and his breathing was also a little short.

"Xu Tao, you are his daughter-in-law, and you didn't help to persuade him. He was fascinated by ghosts and confused him!" Zhao's mother immediately began to wipe her tears, and turned to look at Xu Tao. Anxious to get angry, his tone was also somewhat resentful.

"..." Xu Tao smiled awkwardly.

Can she admit that the 300,000 loan is actually the result of her instigating the proposal? If the Zhao family knew that it was her idea to open the Taoyuan Company from the beginning, they would all have to go crazy.

"Mom, don't worry, just listen to me." Zhao Weiguo explained while putting down the tableware.

"I can't be in a hurry, me! You don't want to die!" Mother Zhao couldn't calm down while clutching her chest, 300,000! She couldn't count the amount of money, she only knew a lot, so much that it scared people to death.

So good, how can you borrow so much money?

"His father, talk to me!" Zhao's mother turned to look at Zhao's father, anxious.

"..." Father Zhao was silent.

"Dad, Mom, I used a loan to open a taxi company and bought a dozen cars. I only need to repay a few thousand loans and interest on time every month. The company is now making money. According to the current profit situation of the company Look, in less than half a year, you will be able to earn 300,000 yuan with profits." Zhao Weiguo spoke to comfort his family.

300,000 is a huge astronomical sum. At the beginning, he and Xu Tao thought it was too much, but they really used 300,000 to start a small company. Now the company receives 3,000 yuan every day. After the huge profits come in, Zhao Weiguo has calmed down.

Just like what Xu Tao said, he can see the amazing prospects of the taxi company. When he goes back a few years later, he will appropriately increase the number of vehicles and expand the scale of the company. It will not be so difficult to make money. The figure of 300,000 seems to be No longer astronomical.

"..." The Zhao family was still collectively silent, the bomb dropped by Zhao Weiguo was really amazing.

300,000 is really an outrageous number in a family that considers a few hundred dollars to be a huge amount. It is too scary.

After all, Zhao Weiqiang got married and the betrothal gift was only 288 yuan. This 288 made Zhao Weiqiang gather for a long time. Not only that, the family held a banquet, bought a new quilt, and made a new bed. After all, it cost the family four or five hundred yuan. , everyone felt that the cost was huge.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. The company is indeed making money now, and the loan pressure is not too big." Xu Tao helped.

Zhao Weiguo, the man, took the pressure of the Zhao family with all his might, and didn't tell her about her proposal to take out a loan to open a company, so Xu Tao naturally wanted to help.

"Well, grandma, don't cry. Mom and Dad are amazing. They bought a lot of carts." Zhao Linan listened to the adults with a half-knowledge. Seeing that Mother Zhao was crying in a hurry, the child was puzzled and stopped eating noodles. Walking to Mother Zhao's side, she raised her little head to comfort her, and patted the back of Mother Zhao's hand with her little hand.

"Really?" Mother Zhao blinked and looked at Zhao Linan with red eyes from crying.

"Hmm." Zhao Linan still nodded.

Xu Tao looked at what the little guy Zhao Linan said, looked at Zhao's mother's eyes with questioning, no longer had the expression of being struck by a bolt from the blue. She breathed a sigh of relief and gave the child a look of admiration.

Zhao Linan also received Xu Tao's compliment, the child narrowed his eyes with a smile, turned around and ran over to act like a spoiled child: "Mom, I'm good, grandma is not angry, so can I stop eating vegetables?"

Still don't like green vegetables Child, he has eaten all the noodles in his small bowl, and now there are only a few small pieces of green vegetables left.

Xu Tao smiled, grabbed the chopsticks and took the vegetables from his bowl, and said to the child, "Ah!"

Zhao Linan cooperated with opening his mouth, Xu Tao fed the small green vegetables into the child's mouth, the child chewed the green vegetables gently, and the child also knew that Xu Tao answered him with actions, not picky eaters!

"Do you still want noodles?" Xu Tao fed him a few slices of green vegetables and asked the child casually.

"I'm full, mom." Zhao Linan patted his belly.

Xu Tao gently stretched out her hand to feel it: "Well, I'm really full."

"Mom, you eat." After Zhao Linan finished eating, he stood beside Xu Tao and let Xu Tao continue to eat.

Xu Tao smiled and nodded.

The stalemate atmosphere of the Zhao family was softened by Zhao Linan. Xu Tao and Zhao Linan got along with each other, and Xu Tao fed the children green vegetables. Although the children didn't want to eat them, they still finished eating them. .

"Mom and dad, don't worry, the loan is really only temporary." After Zhao Weiguo was full, he put down the bowls and chopsticks.

"You're also old, you are at the age of starting a family and starting a business, you have to think carefully about everything you do, and we don't ask too much about the rest." Anyway, it wouldn't help if you asked, and Father Zhao sighed inwardly.

"Thank you Dad." Zhao Weiguo thanked him gratefully.

"Your elder brother took a loan to open a company. If you know about it, don't go out and publicize it. It's enough for you to know about your own family." Father Zhao turned his head and told Zhao Weiqiang and Zhao Weilan.

"Dad, we know." Zhao Weiqiang and Zhao Weilan responded quickly and obediently.

Father Zhao has not read many books, but this man has always been the head of the Zhao family, and he has some calculations in his heart. He has been very dignified for several children in the family since childhood, which also caused the children of the Zhao family to treat him. All in awe.

But this age, the older generation of parents is almost always like this.

Xu Tao also finished the noodles in the bowl, Zhao Weiguo sat for a while, watched her put down her chopsticks, then took the empty bowls and chopsticks in front of her, and folded Zhao Linan's bowls and chopsticks, and prepared with a small porcelain basin. Take it to the kitchen to wash.

"Let me wash the bowls and chopsticks." Mother Zhao reacted and stood up to grab the bowls and chopsticks from Zhao Weiguo.

Zhao Weiguo wanted to refuse, but the man who was used to washing dishes in Yangcheng didn't change his habit because he went home. Xu Tao also paid little attention to it. Eye.

"Are you sleepy?" Xu Tao touched the child's face.

"Yeah." Zhao Linan nodded slightly confused.

"I've been looking forward to your return, and I've cleaned up your rooms in the first two days, and the quilts have been dried." Mother Zhao was about to wash the dishes when she heard Xu Tao asking if Zhao Linan was sleepy, so she stopped to watch Xu Tao said, "Xiao Nan sleeps with us tonight!"

When he was in his hometown, Zhao Linan slept with Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, and Zhao's mother felt that there was no problem with this arrangement.

"I want to sleep with my mother." Although Zhao Linan remembered Zhao's mother and Zhao's father, the child shook his head subconsciously, turned his head and pulled Xu Tao's leg, and the fat boy tried to let Xu Tao hug him.

Xu Tao also bent down and hugged Zhao Linan: "Okay, sleep with my mother."

"You little conscience, you used to sleep with your grandparents, and now you still despise me as an old woman! Little villain." Zhao's mother laughed. He stepped forward to speak, raised his hand and touched the child's nose.

She was happy to see that Zhao Linan and Xu Tao had such a close and harmonious relationship, but the child she raised from a baby girl, who used to depend on her, followed her all day long, the little grandson who was milky and milky, was now Only sticking to Xu Tao's mother, Zhao's mother still has some taste.

"Grandma." Zhao Linan nodded, and shyly burrowed into Xu Tao's arms.

Xu Tao hugged him lightly, turned her head and talked to Zhao Weilan: "Weilan, help me open the bag over there, there is a can of milk powder in it, take it out and make a cup of milk for Xiao Nan to drink."

Zhao Linan was still a child, and Xu Tao usually used to Let Zhao Linan drink milk powder to supplement calcium.

"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhao Weilan nodded and quickly opened the bag and took out the milk powder.

"Pour in the hot water first, then put in the milk powder." Xu Tao held Zhao Linan to teach Zhao Weilan how to make milk powder.

Zhao Weilan followed the steps that Xu Tao said and successfully brewed a glass of milk and gave it to Xu Tao.

Zhao Linan was indeed very sleepy. Xu Tao fed the child half a glass of milk, but the child stopped drinking and fell asleep in her arms. Xu Tao walked to the room according to her memory and gently put the child on the bed, thinking about it. Go get a basin of hot water to wipe the child.

"Sister-in-law, here it is." Zhao Weilan carefully brought a pot of hot water into the house.

"Thank you Weilan." Xu Tao took the hot water tub with a smile, went back to the house and put on pajamas for Zhao Linan who was asleep, and wiped the child's face and neck.

Zhao Weilan brought the hot water basin, and went out without it. She stood by and watched Xu Tao take care of Zhao Linan, a little curious about Xu Tao's patience.

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind to Xiao Nan!" Zhao Weilan looked at her little nephew who was sleeping soundly on the bed, her tone was a little surprised, but she could tell there was no malice.

After all, Xu Tao is a stepmother. These days, it would be good for a stepmother not to starve the child. How could she take care of her more carefully than her own mother like Xu Tao.

"My son! It's not good for him." Xu Tao touched Zhao Linan's face and spoke.

She actually knew that when she came back to her hometown, everyone knew that she was a stepmother, but she did not deny it. Anyway, in her opinion, Zhao Linan was her son.

"Brother." Zhao Weiguo had already washed the dishes, and now he brought the luggage from the main room to the room.

It's really cold in my hometown in Wenzhou. At nine o'clock in the evening, people are shivering. Zhao's father is not too young. People in their fifties usually live a regular life. In summer, they may be delayed. In winter It was cold at night, so I basically went to bed at 8 o'clock in the evening.

"I'm tired today, so I went to rest early. Tomorrow Weiqiang gets married, and there are still many things to do to pick up the relatives." Father Zhao spoke after seeing Zhao Weiguo and his wife returning to the main room.

Several brothers and sisters of the Zhao family nodded one after another, preparing to wash up and go back to the room to sleep.

Mother Zhao and Father Zhao packed up and returned to their room.

The Zhao family went back to their rooms one after another, while Zhao Weiguo went to the kitchen to boil hot water with a carbon stove, and wanted Xu Tao to soak her feet.

Xu Tao can be frozen like a popsicle in Yangcheng Foot, and when she returns to her hometown in Wenzhou, it will be even more iced without thinking.

"Is the temperature okay?" In the room, Zhao Weiguo tested the temperature of the water under Xu Tao's feet.

"Yeah." Xu Tao nodded.

The weather was cold, and the hometown was not very convenient. There were no washing facilities. Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo didn't take a shower.

Mother Zhao listened for a long time in her room with her ears pricked up. When she returned to the room before, she also saw Zhao Weiguo taking good care of Xu Tao, and thought of Zhao Weiguo cleaning up the dishes and washing the dishes. She was not very happy when she was a mother. .

"Why did Wei Guo bring her a footbath and wait for her to wash her feet." Zhao's mother and Zhao's father were talking, and the words were inevitably sour.

Married a daughter-in-law and came back, and she was so attentive to serve her. When did he bring a basin of water to her old lady? !

"Shouldn't it be right for a man to be nice to his daughter-in-law?" Father Zhao replied casually, not thinking it was a big deal.

It should be where it should be, why haven't I seen you treat me well? Mother Zhao complained in her heart, and then happily talked about Zhao Linan.

"Xiao Nan is very close to her, and if she didn't know, she thought it was her mother and son!" Mother Zhao thought of Xu Tao taking care of Zhao Linan, although it was all simple things, but these were enough for her to see how bad it was. .

Xu Tao didn't do it for them at all, she just showed Zhao Linan's stickiness towards her, and she could see that Xu Tao was really good to Xiao Nan.

Chapter 067

"Aren't you worried that she can't take good care of the child before, can you rest assured now?" Zhao's father thinks more than Zhao's mother, and Zhao's mother is more concerned about the relationship between Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo, and Xu Tao's The question of whether it is good for Zhao Linan.

Father Zhao was more concerned with the issue of the 300,000 loan. Although Zhao Weiguo said that the 300,000 would be earned back soon, Father Zhao, who had been poor all his life, was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface, and he couldn't help it. Worrying about it, what if you can't earn it back?

The young couple is too bold, 300,000! Father Zhao is in his fifties, and if he asks himself, he has seen a lot of storms, but now he is frightened by the eldest son and his wife.

"Yes." Mother Zhao nodded in agreement. Lying on the bed, she was also full of bad thoughts, and then she couldn't help but turn her head to ask Father Zhao: "Old man, you said, she has been going to Yangcheng for more than half a year. , Why is there no movement in your stomach?"

"Tsk!" Father Zhao was a little impatient: "I said what are you anxious about, things about children will naturally happen from time to time, you are a woman who really likes to worry about it."

Father Zhao He replied again, and didn't want to talk to Mother Zhao, so he turned his back and turned his back to Mother Zhao: "Turn off the lights and go to bed."

Mother Zhao looked at Father Zhao's back depressedly, seeing that he was really too lazy to talk to her, and thinking of tomorrow Zhao Weiqiang got married and had a bunch of other things to do, so he pulled the light cord to turn off the light.

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother had their own concerns, and they didn't sleep well all night, but Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo were lying on the soft bed because they had a long way to go home, and they slept well.

Early in the morning, it was foggy outside, Xu Tao woke up leaning against Zhao Weiguo, listening to the frolic outside, and the strong smell of fireworks, a little confused.

"What time is it, why is it so noisy outside?" Xu Tao asked Zhao Weiguo, lying on top of him lazily.

She opened her eyes and glanced at the window just now, and she also saw the sky outside. It felt very early!

"The helpers from the village are here, Wei Qiang's wedding banquet, there should be a lot of tables, the Zhao family in the village started helping to move tables and benches from the ancestral hall early in the morning, and hot water is being heated outside to wash dishes and chopsticks!" Zhao Weiguo said, She reached out and took a look at her watch from the small stool by the bed: "It's still early, six o'clock."

"It's really early!" Xu Tao raised her hand and patted her forehead, her body and soul were still on the way to sleep, but she knew that , in the countryside, especially today when Zhao Weiqiang is happy, no matter how sleepy she is, she still has to get up to help.

To be honest, it was so lively outside that she couldn't fall asleep even if she lay down for a while, but she just wanted to stay in bed.

"If you're sleepy, sleep for a while." Zhao Weiguo patted Xu Tao's head and took the person into his arms.

At six o'clock, even if it was busy today, it was still okay to sleep until seven o'clock. He knew that Xu Tao had a habit of staying in bed, and he was reluctant to let her get up so early.

"Farewell, I don't want to be the target of complaints from the village's three aunts and seven aunts after a meal tomorrow. For example, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family is so lazy that she doesn't wake up until seven or eight!" Xu Tao complained, all I can think of the special welfare treatment from the rural aunts.

Those aunts, Xu Tao can't afford to be offended and become their talking point, she's probably going to be miserable.

"Pfft." Zhao Weiguo laughed, seeing that Xu Tao was about to get up, he quickly lifted the quilt and got up.

"Hey." Xu Tao huddled under the quilt, and when Zhao Weiguo woke up, she felt the coolness outside, and froze her awake: "It's too cold, how can you get up without any hesitation, too Don't you respect the quilt!"

"Huh?" Zhao Weiguo stopped taking Xu Tao's jacket.

Xu Tao was seen helplessly by Zhao Weiguo, and subconsciously rubbed her face under the quilt, and then got up reluctantly. Xu Tao got up very slowly, but took off her clothes very quickly. Underwear, inner layer, jacket, Clothes are done in one go.

"Hey! No wonder it's said that children in the south rely on their uprightness to survive the winter since they were young. They really have no inner strength and can't bear this cold winter." Xu Tao sighed after putting on her clothes.

"It's that cold?" Zhao Weiguo chuckled in disbelief.

"You don't understand." Xu Tao shook her head.

Zhao Weiguo, a person who grew up in this place, was naturally used to the cold, but Xu Tao was not used to it. She was a child who later relied on air conditioning and heating for the winter.

After getting dressed, when Xu Tao came out of the room and passed the main room, Xu Tao saw many villagers in Zhao's yard. Many aunts and aunts were picking up water and washing vegetables by the tap, and many people were washing dishes and dishes. When they saw Xu Tao, everyone they knew smiled and said hello.

"The daughter-in-law of Wei Guo is awake." An aunt greeted Xu Tao with a smile.

"I didn't look at it last night, but it's really good!" Another aunt said.

A nodding person next to him echoed: "It's true that people in big cities say that water feeds people."

Most of the people in the village who came to help were aunts and elder sisters in their thirties and forties, almost all of whom were older than Xu Tao. When they saw Xu Tao, they also directly expressing thoughts.

These aunts are really straightforward. Complimenting in front of her is unbearable, Xu Tao thought a little helpless.

"It's hard work everyone, trouble." Xu Tao smiled and ran into the kitchen to wash up.

"Fourth Aunt Zhao, Aunt Tiezhu, it's hard for you to come and help." Zhao Weiguo and Xu Tao stepped out and greeted several familiar aunts.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." The aunts waved their hands and laughed quickly: "Aren't we all helping out from the same village and family! It's nothing."

Zhao Weiguo smiled and walked to the kitchen after the courtesy.

When the aunts saw that Zhao Weiguo followed Xu Tao into the kitchen, they couldn't help teasing and joking softly.

Xu Tao walked into the kitchen, washed her face with hot water, and saw that there were two or three people in the kitchen. There was even an elderly man sitting in front of the stove helping to set the fire. On the stove, glutinous rice was being steamed, ready to be steamed and made into glutinous rice cakes.

Xu Tao suddenly had a feeling that the Zhao family was full of people and had nowhere to hide, but she was not familiar with these people. When greeting, it was really a headache, plus the original owner was in the Zhao family. For more than half a year, I didn't have much time to go out. Even if I went out, I was not keen to understand these relationships in the village.

As a result, the uncles and aunts in the village may all know her and know that she is the daughter-in-law of Zhao Weiguo's second marriage, but Xu Tao does not know who they are and what they should be called.

"You got up, the porridge is hot in the pot, wash up and drink some porridge." Zhao's mother was very busy today. Although she has the help of the villagers, there are always a lot of scattered things that she needs to deal with. She has been up since more than four in the morning, and she is also very busy.

"Got it, Mom." Xu Tao replied and ate breakfast with Zhao Weiguo.

After breakfast, Zhao Weilan also got up. She was wearing the new clothes that Xu Tao bought for her, and she had a braided braid on purpose, looking very youthful and beautiful.

"Sister-in-law." Zhao Weilan came out to see Xu Tao, and immediately greeted him with a smile, then looked at Zhao Weiguo and said, "Brother, Dad told you to go and invite our uncle to the house later."

"Okay." Zhao Weiguo nodded.

The uncle is Zhao Haizhu's uncle. The elders of Zhao's family died early, and now there is an 80-year-old uncle who is still alive. Today, Zhao Weiqiang gets married, and naturally he will invite the old man over for a wedding wine.

"I don't know where my second sister and the others are? The former mountain village is a little far away. Wen is thin and weak in elementary school. Will the second sister bring her with me? I haven't seen Xuewen for a long time." The relationship between Zhao Weilan and her second sister Zhao Weiju Yes, I also know that my nephew Wu Xuewen is not in good health, and his tone of voice is worried when he speaks.

"Go pick it up." Xu Tao said casually. From the memory of the original owner, Xu Tao knew that the former mountain village was not far away, but it did take some time to walk.

"How to pick it up? Drive to pick it up?" Zhao Weilan's eyes lit up.

Yup! Their house now has a car, so it would be better if they drive to pick it up. Zhao Weilan turned her head to look at Zhao Weiguo in thought.

"Brother, you drive to pick up the second sister!"

Zhao Weiguo shook his head: "There are so many things at home, the cold water faucet is frozen, and I have to go to the old well with Brother Wei next door to help wash the vegetables."

"Ah! That's it!" Zhao Weilan suddenly lost his face.

"Xu Tao, please drive and pick it up." Zhao Weiguo turned to talk to Xu Tao.

"Okay." Xu Tao has no objection. It's not difficult to pick up people by car. It's better than staying at home. She really didn't know what to do at home for a while.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, can you drive?" Zhao Weilan suddenly looked at Xu Tao with surprise in her eyes.

OMG! She hasn't even touched a car, and her sister-in-law can drive, which is amazing.

"Yes."

Zhao Weilan looked at Xu Tao with bright eyes: "That sister-in-law, I also want to feel the feeling in the car, I'll go pick up my second sister with you!"

That's why, the reason why she looked forward to it just now , If Zhao Weiguo is willing to drive to pick up people, she can also get in the car and feel the feeling.

That's a car! Growing up, she had only ever ridden a green tin tricycle, and she really wanted to try a small car.

"Okay, let's go together!" Xu Tao was actually afraid that she would be embarrassed when she received Zhao Weiju. She and Zhao Weiju were not familiar with each other, but it would be much better if Zhao Weilan was by her side.

Thinking about it, Xu Tao went back to the room to get the car keys, and when she walked out of the yard, she saw that Zhao Weiqiang had excitedly put two big red flowers on the light red car, and the car looked rustic in an instant.

Xu Tao pursed her lips and smiled, holding the car key to open the door.

Zhao Weilan stood next to the co-pilot, looking a little embarrassed, and did not dare to touch the car: "Sister-in-law, how do you open the door!"

Zhao Weilan had never touched a car before, so last night she just looked excitedly at the appearance of the car. , I'm going to get into the car at this moment, and I'm also confused about how to open the door.

"Here." Xu Tao turned to Zhao Weilan, reached out to open the car door for Zhao Weilan, motioned Zhao Weilan to get in the car, and then walked to the driver's seat.

"Hey, Wei Guo's daughter-in-law, you are going to drive!" There were also many people in front of Zhao's house busy, and when they saw Xu Tao getting into the car, they all looked over in surprise.

"Yes Auntie." Xu Tao turned the car window and lowered the car window a little to breathe.

"Yeah! Daughter-in-law, Wei Guo, you can still drive."

"A little." Xu Tao continued to smile, and started to reverse the car.

Zhao Weilan sat in the co-pilot seat, and she was overjoyed. Seeing Xu Tao turn the window handle, the window was lowered, and she immediately followed the same way.

"Weilan, where are you going!" A girl about the same age as Zhao Weilan, dressed very plainly, with a large padded jacket and a lot of patches, was standing beside the car and asked Zhao Weilan.

"My sister-in-law and I are going to pick up my second sister. Isn't my second sister married in the mountain village! It's far away, and it takes more than an hour to walk!" Zhao Weilan was talking to the girl outside, not to mention how beautiful she was sitting in the car.

"It's good." The girl said enviously.

"Hehe." Zhao Weilan smirked, she also thought it was good, sat in the co-pilot, turned her head to look at Xu Tao, only thought that the driving Xu Tao was amazingly beautiful.

The car started quickly, Xu Tao backed up, turned around and drove out when there was a wider space.

"Oh! Go away, go away." A group of children had been circling around the car since they saw the car yesterday. Now that they saw the car moving, they ran after the car, shouting and chasing the car.

Xu Tao drove away with Zhao Weilan. Zhao's mother, Song Xiaoyan, who was busy at Zhao's house, heard the coaxing of the children and ran out in a hurry, just in time to see the light red car butt going away.

"Where's the car! Why did my car drive away? Weiguo, Weiguo..." Zhao's mother suddenly became anxious. She saw that Zhao Weiguo was at home, and she didn't expect Xu Tao to drive, so she immediately shouted in panic.

How can such a big car be driven away by others!

"Yanzi, don't worry, your daughter-in-law of Weiguo is driving to pick up your Xiaoju, saying that it's a little far there, and it takes a long time to walk, so I'm thinking of picking someone up."

"Yes! The car is just different, it takes an hour to walk, so the drive should be very fast!"

"The daughter-in-law of Wei Guo is really amazing, I think she just walked around like that..." After a group of aunts finished talking to Mother Zhao, they said to themselves. Gu Zi's chatting, they were amazed.

"My daughter-in-law of Wei Guo drives?" Mother Zhao's expression was extremely surprised.

Is Xu Tao actually so powerful? He can even drive a car, but most people can't learn how to drive a car. There used to be a high school student in the village who said he arranged to go to the county to learn how to drive a tractor. No high school student has ever learned to drive a tractor, but Xu Tao, a junior high school graduate, can actually drive.

"You fool me!" Mother Zhao sighed.

"Really, it was your daughter-in-law Wei Guo who drove away."

"Your family Xiaolan is also sitting in the car, wearing a new pink jacket, she is very happy!"

Zhao mother listened to everyone's words and I After speaking in one sentence, he turned around and wiped his hands and hurried back to the house. When he saw Zhao Weiguo, he immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Wei Guo, does your wife still drive? Your aunt Miaozhi said she drove to pick up Wei Ju?" Zhao's mother said anxiously.

"Well, she can drive. If I don't have time to help, I will let her pick up my second sister." Zhao Weiguo nodded and replied.

"..." When Mother Zhao heard Zhao Weiguo's confirmation, her nervousness subsided a little, and she really knew how to drive, which was amazing.

"Brother, where's the car? Where's the car outside?" Zhao Weiqiang, wearing a tunic suit, went to the village hairdresser's house to have his hair trimmed. He also smeared some oil to make his hair fall back. When he walked into the house, he looked very energetic. , but the expression on Zhao Weiguo's car was exactly the same as Zhao's mother.

"Your sister-in-law is going to pick up your second sister." It was Mother Zhao who spoke.

Hearing that, Zhao Weiqiang calmed down, the car just drove out, and the second sister should be back soon after picking him up, so as not to delay things, he patted his chest in relief, and exclaimed: "My sister-in-law can still drive? It's amazing!

" ." Zhao Weiguo nodded.

Xu Tao's ability is indeed outstanding whether in the city or in the countryside, and he looks beautiful.

Zhao Weiguo can hardly remember the specific appearance of Xu Tao when he met Xu Tao before. Anyway, since Xu Tao went to Yangcheng, his feelings for Xu Tao gradually became stronger.

After all, Xu Tao is a smart woman with a warm smile all over her body. She gets along with each other day and night. He knows Xu Tao's advantages better than anyone else, so how could he not be moved.

"Should be back soon! I have to go to Xinghuatan to pick up the relatives at 10:30!" The men's pick-up time here in Wenzhou is always close to lunch time in the morning, and they will have a lunch at the woman's house, and then after lunch Pick up the bride and have dinner at the man's house.

If the family has the conditions, the banquet will be held for three days and three nights. If there is no condition, the banquet will be held for at least one day.

"Don't worry, we won't waste time." Zhao Weiguo replied.

Xu Tao also knows the time, so naturally she will not delay, and it is still early, so it should only be after nine o'clock for a trip back and forth.

"Sister-in-law, you are really amazing. The big city is really good. I

must study hard and get admitted to university. Our teacher said that only by going to university can we go out and see the world outside Dashan." Zhao Weilan sat in the passenger seat When I got up, I felt the wind outside the car window, and when I felt cold, I turned the car window and closed it again.

Without the cold wind blowing, Zhao Weilan leaned on the back of the chair and felt the charm of money for the first time.

The car is very comfortable, much more comfortable than when she was in school, taking a tin tricycle at the entrance of the village to the county town every week. The tricycle is fine in summer, but the cold wind blows in winter, which hurts her face and bones.

If she hadn't experienced the comfort of a car, if she hadn't seen Xu Tao's self-confidence, if she didn't have a comparison, she might not have felt so emotional, and would only be used to reading books according to her parents' wishes.

But now, seeing Xu Tao who was driving, for some unknown reason, Zhao Weilan suddenly had the idea that she must study hard.

"Well, reading makes people wise. You are a high school student now, and the college entrance examination is a turning point in your life. If you work hard and get into a good university, your future life will be very different." Xu Tao nodded when she heard the words.

If it is ten years later, there may be a way out if you don't study. There are many people who have no culture and go to the sea to do business and make money, but Xu Tao has always believed that studying is not necessarily the only way out, but for children in rural areas, Absolutely the only way out.

Children here can't change their fate without studying hard by themselves. If Zhao Weilan doesn't study hard, after graduating from high school, she is likely to face marriage, and she will live a life with her face facing the loess and her back to the sky.

"Well, I will try my best." Zhao Weilan nodded firmly.

Xu Tao smiled and drove the car with yellow dirt all the way to Qianshan Village, bumping and bumping all the way, until it was about to reach the big steep slope of Qianshan Village.

"Sister-in-law, that's my second sister, second brother-in-law, and Xuewen's little nephew." Zhao Weilan looked ahead and saw Zhao Weiju's family of three walking on the side of the road, and happily pointed it to Xu Tao.

"There's a car coming." Zhao Weiju took Wu Xuewen's hand, and when he saw the car coming, he immediately protected Wu Xuewen and let Wu Xuewen go inside.

Wu Linbiao, holding two old hens and a large bag of eggs in his hands, walked outside Zhao Weiju's mother and son, and then turned his head to watch the car with two big red flowers coming. The family of three stopped subconsciously. Be prepared to avoid.

Huh—

who knew that the car suddenly stopped next to their family of three, and the husband and wife looked at the car with their children in surprise.

"Second sister!" Zhao Weilan turned the car window. After the car window came down, she immediately smiled and shouted at Zhao Weiju outside, "Brother-in-law, elementary school text."

"Weilan?" She looked to the side and saw Xu Tao: "Sister-in-law? Why are you two? Where did this car come from, this, this? What's going on!"

Zhao Weiju asked, looking at her husband Wu Linbiao next to her in surprise.

Wu Linbiao was also full of surprise. He was stunned with two chickens and eggs in his hands. Will this brother-in-law and daughter-in-law drive to pick them up?

"Second sister, my sister-in-law and I are here to pick you up."

"Oh, that's it." Zhao Weiju nodded.

"Wei Ju, brother-in-law, the road here is narrow and it's not easy to park and turn around. I remember that there is an elementary school under this big steep slope. The school playground should be able to turn around. I'll turn around there and come back to pick you up." Xu Tao smiled and said Zhao Weiju spoke.

"Okay." Zhao Weiju nodded.

Immediately, I saw the light red car driving down the slope, and it disappeared without a trace, and the dust was rolled up all over the place.

"Mom." Wu Xuewen took Zhao Weiju's hand. The little boy was five years old, thin and frail. After watching the butt of the car disappear at the end of the steep slope, he turned around and said, "Auntie is amazing."

"Yes. " Zhao Weiju hummed. .

"Isn't this car driven by my uncle from Yangcheng?" Wu Linbiao spoke to his daughter-in-law Zhao Weiju in a dull manner.

"I don't know." Zhao Weiju also shook her head.

Xu Tao drove the car down the slope, and drove to the playground of Qianshan Village Primary School.

Zhao Weiju's family of three were still waiting at the place just now, and Xu Tao drove the car and stopped.

"Wei Ju, brother-in-law, take your little nephew and sit in the back!" Xu Tao said when she opened the door and got out of the car.

"Okay." Zhao Weiju nodded, holding her son Wu Wenxue in a panic, looking at Xu Tao, who was wearing a light-colored jacket and a belt, and looked especially good-looking, her eyes were full of curiosity and surprise.

She didn't know much about her sister-in-law Xu Tao. Xu Tao was younger than her. When she married the Zhao family for half a year, she went home during the Dragon Boat Festival because she was busy with the fields, but she was in a hurry at that time. When I got home for lunch, I didn't have time to eat a bite, so I went back to my mother-in-law's house.

If I counted it carefully, I only met Xu Tao two or three times.

The first meeting was when Zhao Weiguo married her, then the Dragon Boat Festival, and then right now. Anyway, I didn't expect that the third meeting would be like this.

"Brother-in-law, throw the chicken in the trunk! Eggs are easily broken, so carry them with your hands." Xu Tao looked at Lin Quanbiao and took the key to open the trunk.

"Okay." Lin Quanbiao nodded quickly.

"Get in the car!" Xu Tao started the trunk, watching Zhao Weiju holding Wu Xuewen still standing there, smiling at Wu Xuewen, and reaching out to open the rear car door: "Little nephew, please get in the car!"

"Hello, aunt." Wu Xuewen was a little shy.

"Hello." Xu Tao also laughed.

"Xuewen gets in the car first." Zhao Weiju pinched the child's creaking nest and carried Wu Xuewen into the car.

Wu Xuewen moved his butt and got into the car, and Zhao Weiju and Lin Quanbiao also got into the car a little overwhelmed.

"Second sister, second brother-in-law, hehe." Zhao Weilan sat in the co-pilot seat and looked at several people smiling.

Zhao Weiju's eyes were full of panic and bewilderment. When she saw her sister, she relaxed a little, and then she saw Xu Tao also got into the car and started the car.

The car moved, this long and steep slope, it was quite strenuous to walk normally, but the car came up all of a sudden.

"Second sister, sister-in-law is amazing!" Zhao Weilan sat in the co-pilot and turned to talk to the second sister, Zhao Weiju.

"Awesome." Zhao Weiju nodded, can he be good at driving? Just don't be too great.

"Mmmm." Zhao Weilan nodded, then looked at the obedient, thin little nephew: "Xuewen, did you not eat well?"

"Auntie, I have eaten." Wu Xuewen is also very good, the child is very serious Answer Zhao Weilan's words.

Pfft, Zhao Weilan couldn't help laughing, Wu Xuewen was embarrassed by Zhao Weilan's laughter, sat on the seat, pinched his two little hands together obediently, and then looked at Xu Tao who was driving.

"Mom, it's so fast." Wu Xuewen followed his parents down this dirt road. Zhaojia Village is relatively a larger village, while Qianshan Village is a real remote small mountain village. You have to go to the village to go to the market or buy anything. An hour to Zhaojia Village by car to the county seat to buy.

Usually this road takes more than an hour to walk, but now sitting in the car, I feel as if I have passed by all of a sudden.

"Yeah." Zhao Weiju patted her son's head, looked in front of the car, and saw the car slowly approaching Zhaojia Village.

A few familiar children from Zhaojia Village were wandering around the entrance of the village. When they saw the car coming back, they exclaimed and chased beside the car, and then chased the car to the door of Zhao's house.

Zhao Weiju took a car, and the whole person was in a trance. When she got out of the car, she saw Zhao's mother at the door of the house.

"Mom." Zhao Weiju got out of the car with Wu Xuewen in her arms, and hurriedly went down and called someone.

"Xiaoju, Lin Biao, come in and rest." Zhao's mother was also happy to see her second daughter. She didn't quite believe it before, but now seeing Xu Tao driving back and getting off the car, Zhao's mother completely believed that Xu Tao really knew how to do it. The fact of driving.

"Mom!" Wu Linbiao got out of the car and picked up two chickens and eggs and called out to Mother Zhao.

"Grandma." Wu Xuewen also got close to Zhao's mother, and the thin little boy called out obediently.

"Hey, so good." Mother Zhao touched her little grandson's face and pulled Zhao Weiju into the house: "You look thin again, why are you so thin."

Chapter 068
"Mom, I'm fine." Zhao Weiju smiled and was dragged into the room by Mother Zhao to rest.

Wu Linbiao was very honest. He took two old hens out of the trunk, and carefully carried a bag of eggs into the door of Zhao's courtyard.

Xu Tao just locked the car and was about to turn back into the house when she saw Zhao Linan, the child wearing yesterday's clothes and coat, with a small hat in her hands, and ran out before her clothes were sorted. Followed the red: "Mom, where have you been?" When the

little guy asked, his tone was full of great grievances. When he woke up, he couldn't see his mother, and the child almost cried.

"Mom is going to pick up your aunt, uncle, and brother Xuewen!" Xu Tao looked at the child's clothes and looked aggrieved, so she bent down and squatted down, reaching out to touch the child's cheek.

The child is very independent, but the clothes are not neatly dressed. The trousers are pajamas, and the top is pajamas. Put on the jacket from yesterday, and now the pajamas inside are rolled up and piled on the waist. Xu Tao stretched out her hand and found her belly. All blowing cold wind.

Xu Tao immediately felt distressed and blamed herself, pulled down the pajamas inside, and then took the hat and put it on the child.

When she got up in the morning and went out to pick up Zhao Weiju's family, she didn't think too much. Thinking that she was at Zhao's house and there were many family members, she drove to pick up Zhao Weiju's family. When she came back, the little guy was still sleeping, so it wouldn't delay anything. Forgot to consider the little guy's sudden change of environment, when he woke up, he couldn't see whether she would be afraid.

"Oh." Zhao Linan blinked, not knowing who the aunt Xu Tao was talking about, but asked Xu Tao sullenly: "Why didn't Mommy ask Xiao Nan to go with me?" .

"Mom saw Xiao Nan sleeping, and she was so cute that she didn't want to wake you up!" Xu Tao replied, picked up the child, bowed her head and kissed his cheek softly: "Is Xiao Nan angry with her mother?"

Zhao Linan was angry The bulging appearance was comforted by two kisses, and then he wrapped his hands around Xu Tao's neck and hummed coquettishly: "Don't be angry." The

little guy has a good memory and remembers the people of the Zhao family, but he came back after more than half a year. I got used to Xu Tao, and felt a little strange to others. When I woke up in the morning and faced a strange environment suddenly, and when he was alone in the room, the child almost cried by himself.

"Mom, Xiao Nan is afraid." After Zhao Linan said he was not angry, he whispered his grievance.

He was so brave that he couldn't stop crying. After getting up, he put on his little coat and came out to find his mother.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! It's all my mother's fault." Xu Tao comforted him, holding the child's buttocks with both hands.

Zhao Linan acted coquettishly, and embarrassedly nestled into Xu Tao's arms: "Love mom."

"Mom loves you too." Xu Tao said with a light smile, and walked into the house with the child in her arms.

Mother Zhao took her second daughter Zhao Weiju into the house, and also greeted her son-in-law Wu Linbiao and her little nephew. When she saw Xu Tao carrying Zhao Linan into the house, she was afraid that Xu Tao would misunderstand and explained a few words.

"When Xiao Nan woke up just now, I wanted to change his clothes. If he didn't want to, he had to find you." Zhao's mother said with a little helplessness in her tone.

She used to stick to her child, but now she doesn't want to help her change clothes, so she only wants to find her mother. When she wakes up, she doesn't see Xu Tao, and she almost cried.

"It's okay, he's sticking to me now." Xu Tao replied with a smile, then looked at Zhao Weiju and his family: "You guys sit and rest first, I'll change his clothes." After Xu Tao finished speaking, she carried Zhao Linan to the room.

Back in the room, Xu Tao patiently coaxed the child, seeing that the child was in her arms and not planning to come down, Xu Tao felt a little helpless, so she let the child hang, and then took out the child's clothes and asked, "Will you wear it today?" Is this dog clothes any good?"

Zhao Linan likes small animals, he likes all the animals on his clothes, and it's easy to coax him.

"Well, wearing a puppy dog." Zhao Linan smiled.

Xu Tao took off the child's shoes, put him on the bed and stood, and then matched with his underwear, but he felt that the clothes were very cold. It was past nine o'clock in the morning, but the temperature was still very low and cold.

"Mom take the clothes to bake and put them on, otherwise it will be too cold." Xu Tao can wear cold clothes at will, but she is reluctant to let the children wear cold clothes directly.

There is a fire cage made of bamboo in the hall of Zhao's house. Putting clothes on the cage and roasting for a while will make it warm and comfortable to wear.

"Mom hold Xiaonan." Zhao Linan was probably anxious because he couldn't see Xu Tao when he woke up before, but now he was thinking about sticking to Xu Tao. Xu Tao was going to bake hot clothes for him, and the child would also hang on Xu Tao's body. I had no choice but to go to the main room with the child again.

In the main room, almost all of Zhao's family were there. Zhao Weiqiang and some villagers were chatting nearby. Everyone was chatting and drinking tea.

Seeing so many people smiling gently, Xu Tao took Zhao Linan's close-fitting clothes and trousers and put them on the fire in the middle of the main room, and baked them back and forth for a while.

After baking the clothes, Xu Tao carried the little sloth Zhao Linan back to the room.

"Sister-in-law is really attentive." Zhao Weiju also looked at Xu Tao's baking clothes, and saw Zhao Linan hanging sticky in Xu Tao's arms, so she couldn't help talking to Zhao's mother softly.

Her attentiveness is more meticulous than she is to Wu Xuewen. She dresses Wu Xuewen at will, and she will cook it carefully.

"Sister-in-law, she treats Xiao Nan very well. I can feel that she really treats Xiao Nan as her own son from the bottom of her heart." Zhao Weilan nodded in agreement.

In a place like the countryside, I have heard and seen many stepmothers. I only heard of stepmothers abusing their stepchildren, not giving them food or going to school. People like Xu Tao who take good care of their children are really new and rare.

"Well, it's really good." Zhao's mother saw that Zhao Linan was always clinging to Xu Tao, and she had some taste, but she also admitted Xu Tao's hard work.

Xu Tao can treat Zhao Linan like this. She is a mother-in-law, so why is there any dissatisfaction? She is just a little uncomfortable. After all, Zhao Linan was raised by her. She raised it for more than two years, but now the child only remembers it. Well done mom, alas!

Xu Tao changed Zhao Linan's clothes in the room, and the little guy was also in good spirits.

Zhao Linan was a little timid before, but now he has been making trouble with Xu Tao for a while, and knowing that Xu Tao is behind him, the child is full of confidence and runs to the main room wearing puppy clothes.

"Grandma, look at the dog." After Zhao Linan walked into the main room, his short legs moved to the side of Zhao's mother, pointing to the puppy on his clothes to show off.

He likes dogs so much, and so does piggy!

"Yeah! The puppy, it's so beautiful." Zhao's mother was very cooperative with the little guy's happy showing off, and Zhao Linan couldn't be more happy in one sentence.

Xu Tao couldn't help laughing when she saw the child's raised mouth, and went to the kitchen to bring out the warm porridge and greeted the child to drink porridge.

"Are Xuewen hungry?" Xu Tao asked Wu Xuewen when she saw Zhao Linan sitting on the table obediently eating.

"He had breakfast before going out in the morning." Zhao Weiju answered.

"Yeah." Xu Tao nodded, standing next to Zhao Linan watching the child eat breakfast.

The temperature of the porridge was just right. Xu Tao knew that the child liked sweets, so he put the sugar and mixed it well, and the child took the spoon and ate it bit by bit.

"Mom, it's over." After Zhao Linan finished eating, he said to Xu Tao with a clean small bowl.

After confirming, Xu Tao asked: "Do you still eat?"

Zhao Linan shook his head: "No." After speaking, the child carefully slipped off the stool, turned around with the small bowl in both hands, and took it to the kitchen obediently and gently.

When he was in Yangcheng, Zhao Linan also occasionally had his own breakfast. After the child had eaten breakfast, Xu Tao didn't ask him to wash the dishes, but he would ask the child to send his rice bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen.

The little guy's habits are well cultivated. After breakfast, Xu Tao doesn't need to remind, Zhao Linan will obediently send the bowl to the kitchen.

Zhao Weiju saw that Zhao Linan was taught by Xu Tao so well-behaved and sensible, and Xu Tao's eyes couldn't help but soften a lot.

"Mom, is Wei Qiang's room set up?" Zhao Weiju looked away, put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Zhao Weiqiang, who was chatting with a group of best men, and asked about the wedding room.

Generally, when getting married, the room will be decorated, and the red happy words, plastic flowers, etc. will be lively.

"It's arranged, I'll take you to see it." Zhao's mother smiled suddenly, and took Zhao Weiju's hand to Zhao Weiqiang's new wedding room: "Xiao Nan, Xiao Wen is also here, we only have your two children at home, and you have more children when you are free. Playing in the bridal room, okay?"

There is a custom here, and there is a saying that children roll out of the new bed. In the new bed of the newlyweds, except for the bride and groom, only children can play and play.

"Okay grandma." Wu Xuewen nodded.

Zhao Linan didn't quite understand, so the child turned to look at Xu Tao, then took Xu Tao's hand and walked into Zhao Weiqiang's room.

"Mom, it looks good." Zhao Linan pointed to the lahua in the room and spoke.

Zhao Weiqiang's new wedding room was well furnished, with good lighting, and with a red bed and red quilt, it looked very festive.

"You also bought a black and white TV?" Zhao Weiju looked at the black and white TV in the room with surprise in her tone.

"Yeah!" Mother Zhao nodded, glanced defensively outside the room, and then said in a low voice, "Choose one of the three major marriages, and your dad and I both want to buy a bicycle, so that the guard will buy one. It is also convenient to go to work in the county, and can also take Xiaolan on a bicycle. But Sun Fang refused to buy a black and white TV, saying that she likes watching TV, so the family had to scrape together the money to buy a TV."

"After buying the TV, she told Wei Qiang a few days ago that he wanted Wei Qiang to pick her up on a bicycle, saying that riding a scooter would not look good. Zhao Hefeng only had a bicycle in Zhao's village, and Wei Qiang gave her two yuan. People are still reluctant to borrow money. It's a pity that your eldest brother just drove the car back, otherwise Sun Fang would have to make trouble." Zhao's mother panicked when she talked about these things.

Marriage was originally a happy thing, so Sun Fang asked a lot, this is not good, there are many things that are not good, that is to marry a daughter-in-law, there is no way, only to endure, follow her requirements, or Zhao mother I'm not happy to be manipulated like this, there are so many things.

"It's okay to want to be beautiful when you get married." Zhao Weiju answered.

"I think she's just showing off. I thought Sun Fang was inappropriate at first, but Wei Qiang just likes someone else, what can I do?" Zhao's mother sighed again.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been difficult since ancient times, and I don't know what will happen to Sun Fang when she enters the door!

"Mom, don't say such things in the future. Wei Qiang is about to get married. If you let her know, it will be hard to live in the future." Zhao Weiju quickly comforted Zhao's mother and glanced at Xu Tao.

Xu Tao stood in the room, and after listening to what Mother Zhao said, she expressed some understanding of the temperament of her sister-in-law, Sun Fang, but she didn't care much.

She and Zhao Weiguo didn't spend much time in their hometown. At most, they just went home for the New Year for a year, and most of the time they would stay in Yangcheng.

There won't be a lot of time together, and naturally it doesn't matter whether the other party gets along well or not.

Of course, if Zhao Weiqiang married a daughter-in-law, things are easy to get along with, everyone is happy, and it is impossible to get along with each other. Today is going to get married, and it is useless to think too much about things that are a sure thing.

"I know, I won't talk about it in the future." Mother Zhao replied, looking down at Zhao Linan and Wu Xuewen: "Xiao Nan, Xiaowen, you take off your shoes and play on the bed. I'll bring you peanuts and red dates and longan to eat."

"Mom? "Zhao Linan turned to ask Xu Tao.

The child remembered that Xu Tao had taught him that except for pajamas, wearing other clothes should not sit on the bed and play casually. At this moment, the child was a little confused when he heard Zhao's mother say that he was going to sit on the bed. .

"You can sit on the bed today, because the red wedding bed, only children can sit on it and play." Xu Tao smiled, bent down to take off the child's shoes, and carried the child to the Dahongxi bed.

Wu Xuewen took off his shoes and sat on the bed by himself. The child was a little shy and shy, his clothes and trousers were a little old, and even the socks on his feet had a small hole.

Zhao Weiju looked at her son, and then looked at Zhao Linan. The two children were sitting on the bed, and the conditions were very different. Zhao Linan was clean and well-dressed, and the children were always smiling and lovable.

Wu Xuewen was very restrained, his clothes had been washed many times, and they looked gray, and his socks were also torn.

Moreover, Wu Xuewen is more than five years old this year, and children are also shy. When sitting on the bed, he subconsciously first covered the broken feet with his hands.

Mother Zhao also saw the situation of Wu Xuewen's socks. Except for the ignorant child Zhao Linan, everyone in the room was a little sad.

Mother Zhao pursed her lips and didn't speak. She turned around and went out to bring the children dried fruit that means more children and more happiness.

It just so happened that it was ten o'clock, and a large group of people in the main room outside were busy picking up things to pick up their relatives, preparing to go to the neighboring village Xinghua to pick up the bride.

Zhao Weiju and Zhao Weilan heard the sound, looked at the sound of firecrackers, and quickly followed them out.

Xu Tao told the two children to play by themselves, then walked out of the room and saw Zhao Weiguo helping to drive the car, Zhao Weiqiang sitting in the back seat, and the group of people set off firecrackers and went out crackling.

Xu Tao glanced at the situation, and was smoked back by the sound of firecrackers and the smell of gunpowder. She turned around and went back to the room to get a pair of Zhao Linan's new socks and went to Zhao Weiqiang's wedding house.

Wu Xuewen is five years old. Although he is thin, he is more than ten centimeters taller than Zhao Linan. Zhao Linan's clothes and Xu Tao are all bought according to the fit size, not like the countryside. Thinking of wearing one more year. Therefore, Wu Xuewen couldn't wear Zhao Linan's clothes, but he could wear socks.

In the room, Zhao Linan and Wu Xuewen were talking, and both of them were silently eating peanuts and red dates.

"Are you my brother?"

"Well."

"Then I'm your brother?"

"Well."

"Hello brother!"

"Hello brother!"

When Xu Tao came in, she also heard the conversation between the two. To be honest, Have been cute.

Wu Xuewen was peeling peanuts, and when he saw Xu Tao coming in, he called out, "Aunt."

"Yes."

"Mom." Zhao Linan saw Xu Tao's child smiling too, holding a half-bitten red date. Feeding it to Xu Tao's mouth: "Mom, it's delicious."

Xu Tao reluctantly opened his mouth and ate it, reminding the two children to pay attention to the jujube pits when eating red dates, and the two children nodded obediently.

"Xuewen, come here, my aunt brought you new socks. It's warm, can you put them on for you?" Xu Tao couldn't sit on the new bed, so she reached out and picked up Wu Xuewen, turned and sat on a long bench in the room, reaching out to help Wu Xuewen took off the old socks on his feet and put on new socks.

Wu Xuewen was hugged by Xu Tao and sat on his lap. The child turned his head to look at Xu Tao, and then looked down at Xu Tao to put on his socks. The beautiful new socks were very warm, and he moved his toes involuntarily.

"Thank you aunt."

"You're welcome." Xu Tao put on her socks, stood up and put the elementary school text on the bed: "You guys play! I'll show you the TV.

" I'm not interested anymore, looking forward to watching the black and white TV.

Xu Tao thought about it for a while before turning on the switch of the black-and-white TV. Looking at the snowflakes all over the screen, she turned the button of the black-and-white TV, and then pulled up the TV's antenna to receive the signal.

The TV signal these days is very weak, and the antenna is pulled. After a while, the TV gradually hears human voices, and then there are human figures, but the figures in the TV are all black and white.

"Wow!" Zhao Linan and Wu Xuewen looked at the TV with a look of amazement.

Xu Tao tuned a channel to the central one. Seeing that Wu Song was playing the old version of the TV series, she didn't change the channel.

"Look at this, okay?"

"Okay." The two children were very well-behaved.

Xu Tao smiled: "Then I'm in the main room outside, do you call me if you have anything?" After Xu Tao explained, she left the new room for the two children to play with.

Zhao Linan and Wu Xuewen were attracted by the black-and-white TV at the moment, so they couldn't care less about Xu Tao.

Xu Tao turned helplessly and left the room.

Here, the Zhao family was preparing for the wedding banquet at night, and Zhao Weiguo, Zhao Weiqiang and others also arrived at Xinghuatun in a lively manner.

Xinghuatun is also called Sunjia Village. Most of the people in the village are surnamed Sun, but there are many apricot trees in the village. When the season comes, the apricot trees in the village will bloom and will be extraordinarily beautiful. Therefore, Sunjia Village is named Xinghuatun.

At this moment, Xinghua is in the Sun's house, and Sun Fang and her little sister are sitting in the room waiting. Sun Fang, who is dressed up, has some expectations in her heart. She is about to get married soon, and she is naturally happy.

"Your family's Weiqiang can really ride a bike to pick you up! He even bought a black and white TV?" Sun Fang's little sister chatted with Sun Fang in the room with an envious tone.

"Well, Wei Qiang, these things are arranged by me." Sun Fang nodded confidently.

"It's still your vision. Zhao Weiqiang works in the county factory. The conditions of Zhao's family are also very good, and the people are not bad." The little sister continued to speak.

Sun Fang smiled happily upon hearing this, and she was also very satisfied with Zhao Weiqiang.

Zhao Weiqiang looks good, his job is okay, his age is right, and the most important thing is that Zhao Weiqiang depends on her in everything. If she wants to buy a black and white TV, he buys a TV. She doesn't want to get married by a scooter, and he also says he will. Find a way to borrow a bike.

He was so kind to her, and naturally he would not treat her badly after marriage. Thinking of this, Sun Fang couldn't help but be happy.

"Firecrackers are set off, it should be the one who picks up the relatives."

Suddenly, the sound of crackling firecrackers sounded outside the courtyard.

Immediately, the girls in the room stood up happily, and the more daring ones even leaned over to the door and looked out quietly.

Sun Fang's sister is about fifteen years old this year. She has been waiting outside the courtyard gate. When she saw the car approaching, she hurried to the house.

"Sister, sister, the future brother-in-law is here..." The girl panted, her eyes full of excitement.

Sun Fang looked at her sister and was shocked. She told Zhao Weiqiang that she didn't want to get married in a wooden cart in the countryside. She also let her sister Sun Xiu watch from the door today, waiting for Zhao Weiqiang and the others to pick up the relatives. Go into the house and talk to her.

"What's wrong with him? Is it..." Or use a wooden cart to pick up the kiss?

Thinking of this, Sun Fang's face suddenly darkened, and he became very old.

"No, no, brother-in-law, he drove a car to pick up the relatives." Sun Xiu said with a particularly excited expression.

Small car! Who can get married and use a car in these eight villages? Her brother-in-law was also so good that she even borrowed a car to welcome her.

"Really?"

"God! Car, I have to go out and see."

"I'll go, I'll go too."

A group of little sisters who were originally with Sun Fang in the room were all excited when they heard that Zhao Weiqiang was driving a car to pick up the relatives, and no longer had any so-called reserved thoughts. When I looked out, I saw a small car.

"Ah! It's really a car."

A group of young girls were talking sparsely, and they also glanced at the people around Zhao Weiqiang, and then all shyly ran back to the room to accompany Sun Fang.

"Sun Fang, I really drove a car to pick you up."

"Hmm, you're married too well."

"I just saw that the best men are also very energetic.

" Do you see it? It looks very serious."

A group of girls were talking, and they were almost crazy with envy. They chatted for a long time, until it was eleven o'clock, almost lunch time, the girls in the room were all Out for lunch, Sun Fang ate a bowl of noodles her mother brought her in the room.

The woman is not allowed to leave the room on the day of her wedding. After everyone has finished their lunch, everyone will start blocking the door according to the custom, and the bridesmaids will ask for red envelopes.

After the bustling door blocking session, Zhao Weiqiang brought people into the house to take Sun Fang out of the Sun house. With the help of his uncle, Sun Fang was wearing a big red umbrella, wearing a small red dress, and sitting in a beautiful seat. Get into the car.

There was only one car, but it was already very imposing. Sun Fang and Zhao Weiqiang sat in the car, a bridesmaid sat in the co-pilot, and Zhao Weiguo was in charge of driving.

The other bridesmaids walked. While walking, the groomsmen were also responsible for carrying Sun Fang's various dowry items, such as quilts, shoes, pillows, etc., all of which were loaded with red burdens and slowly followed behind the car.

Zhao Weiguo drove very slowly, in order to match the speed of other pedestrians.

It was the first time in Sunjia Village that a car came to pick up the relatives. Sun Fang's family was overjoyed, and even several surrounding villages heard about it.

The distance between Xinghuatun and Zhaojia Village is not far. It only takes about 40 minutes to walk. The person who picks up the relative and the person who sends the relative chats all the way to Zhaojia Village.

"Come here, the bride has brought it back." A bunch of children in Zhaojiacun were waiting, and when they saw the car slowly approaching, they immediately greeted them lively.

The sound of crackling firecrackers also sounded, and the car finally drove to the door of Zhao's house.

When Xu Tao heard the sound of firecrackers outside, she went to the room, called out the two children who were obsessed with watching TV after lunch, and asked Mother Zhao to help clean up the bride's bed.

"Mom, what is a bride?" Zhao Linan followed Xu Tao.

Xu Tao saw that there were many people in the hall, and it was lively and chaotic, so she hugged Zhao Linan and walked to the side to watch. After seeing Sun Fang and Zhao Weiqiang walking into the house, the child approached Xu Tao's ear and asked.

"Have you seen the aunt next to your uncle?" Xu Tao motioned to Zhao Linan to look at Sun Fang and Zhao Weiqiang over there.

"Well."

"Your uncle is the groom today, and next to him is the bride. The bride is beautiful with flowers!" Xu Tao explained to the child with a smile.

Zhao Linan looked over there with his eyes, and turned back after a while: "Mom, you are beautiful, go be a bride!"

Xu Tao hugged Zhao Linan, and when she heard the child's innocent words, she was stunned, and then smiled. Holding the child, he backed away a bit: "In our Xiaonan's eyes, mother has always been the most beautiful!" He kissed Zhao Linan and asked.

"Well, my mother is the most beautiful." Zhao Linan nodded affirmatively.

Xu Tao chuckled lightly.

When Zhao Weiguo returned from the car, he looked for Xu Tao and Zhao Linan at home, and when he saw his wife and children in the corner, he walked through the crowd.

"What did you say?" Zhao Weiguo walked over to Xu Tao and asked, reaching out to take Zhao Linan over.

Zhao Linan was over three years old and would get tired after a while. Zhao Weiguo hugged the child easily, making Xu Tao feel more relaxed.

"Dad, I said that my mother is prettier than the bride." Zhao Linan whispered in Zhao Weiguo's ear, his words earnest.

Zhao Weiguo's eyes were also stained with a smile. He listened to his son's words, looked at Xu Tao, looked at Zhao Weiqiang's husband and wife over there who were busy serving tea, also glanced at Xu Tao, and nodded in agreement.

"I think so too." Zhao Weiguo lowered his voice and whispered in Xu Tao's ear.

Chapter 069
Xu Tao looked sideways at Zhao Weiguo in astonishment. He was very useful to the man's sweet words, and a gentle smile spread across his brows and eyes.

Zhao Weiguo held Zhao Linan and Xu Tao and spoke softly, but he didn't know that a woman's eyes kept following him in the distance, and then stayed on the family of three for a long time before finally moving away in despair.

Zhao Weiqiang got married, and the wedding was very lively. The clansmen in the village helped with everything such as the banquet, and Xu Tao had nothing to do.

There are many children of the same age as Zhao Linan in the village. After the process of serving tea, a group of little monkeys happily played in the wedding room. went out to play.

Zhao Linan was also happy to be in it. There were many family members, and Xu Tao was not willing to hold Zhao Linan. After telling Zhao Linan and Wu Xuewen to pay attention to safety, they went out to play with them.

It was not until it was dark and dinner time that Xu Tao went out to greet the children. A group of children were sweating profusely from running. Zhao Linan was having so much fun that his voice became hoarse.

"Mom." Zhao Linan ran back to Xu Tao happily, his face flushed, the sun was hot in the afternoon, the child had been running for a long time, and now it was so hot that he took off his little hat and shook it in his hand.

"Little Leather Monkey!" Xu Tao saw that he was having a good time, but was helpless and worried.

It's so crazy to play, the weather is cold, and you take off your clothes and hats when it's hot. The children's coats were originally neatly dressed, but now they are also open. It's not fun to catch a cold.

"Mom, I want to drink water." Zhao Linan held Xu Tao by her hand and acted like a spoiled child.

"Go, go home and drink water." Xu Tao led the child and greeted Wu Xuewen to go home for dinner.

Because of the wedding party, the meal was very lively. The bridesmaids and best men gathered at two tables to eat, drink and chat, which was very pleasant. Xu Tao and his wife Zhao Weiju also sat at a separate table to eat, and there were a few more relatives on the table. relatives.

After dinner, the hustle and bustle ended, and the most important part of the wedding came to the bridal chamber.

Xu Tao has seen the bridal chamber, but she didn't know that the customs here are quite interesting. There is a custom of washing pots. When a brand new cauldron is brought out, the bride is responsible for washing the pot. The new pot means that the husband and wife will live in harmony and beauty in the future, and earn a lot of money.

Xu Tao didn't join in the fun, holding Zhao Linan to see that Zhao Weiguo threw some money into the pot sporadically.

After washing the pot, everyone started to make fun of the bridal chamber again. These are similar to the customs of various places. After biting apples and so on, Zhao Linan was also very happy.

"Let's go, let's go to bed." Xu Tao saw that the bridal chamber was almost over, so she carried Zhao Linan back to her room.

Zhao Linan was really happy all day, and the child was in good spirits. When he returned to the room, Xiaozui was still muttering.

"Mom, is uncle getting married tomorrow? It's fun." Zhao Linan likes to look forward to anything he likes.

Happy birthday, I want to celebrate birthday every day, happy marriage, I hope Zhao Weiqiang gets married every day.

"A person can only get married once in his life, you can't get married every day, you know?" Xu Tao touched Zhao Linan's little head, put the hot pajamas on the hot water bottle, and wiped the child with a damp hot towel. Body.

The weather was cold and it was troublesome to take a bath, so Xu Tao didn't wash the child, but he was sweating all day after running, so Xu Tao naturally wanted to wipe him off, and then took the soft pajamas for him to change into.

Xu Tao herself wanted to take a bath. It was cold, and she was used to washing herself. When she got home, she used a hot towel to rest for the past few days. She always felt that her body was dirty.

So after coaxing Zhao Linan to sleep, the bridal room was over, and the bridesmaids who accompanied Sun Fang also arranged to stay at the next door neighbor's house.

After the liveliness of the Zhao family was much quieter, only Zhao mother and sister Zhao Weiju were left in the main room outside to clean up the mess.

"Zhao Weiguo, I want to take a bath." Xu Tao pulled Zhao Weiguo and said softly.

She hadn't taken a bath for several days, and she had reached the limit of her tolerance. If she didn't take a bath, she would be mad at herself.

"I'll help you boil hot water." Zhao Weiguo nodded.

He knew that Xu Tao loves to be clean, and that Xu Tao could endure these few days. He already felt that it was okay, so he took her hand and walked out of the room, preparing to go to the kitchen to boil hot water.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Mother Zhao was sweeping the floor in the main room, and when she saw Zhao Weiguo and Xu Tao coming out, she asked in confusion.

"I want to take a bath and let Xu Tao help me boil the water." Zhao Weiguo replied.

"It's very cold, don't wash." Zhao's mother frowned and said. Although Zhao Weiguo said he wanted to take a bath, how could Zhao's mother not guess that Xu Tao wanted to take a bath.

She also paid attention to it all day. Zhao Linan went out to play, went to the toilet, had meals, and had snacks. Whenever she used her hands, Xu Tao had to wash the children with hot water. She was very particular.

How can rural people in the countryside care so much about these health issues?

But Mother Zhao also thought about complaining and didn't say it. It's not a bad thing to love cleanliness. There's nothing to be picky about. Today, Zhao Weiqiang got married and married a new daughter-in-law. She was also happy.

"Mom, I'm used to taking a bath every day in Yangcheng. It's uncomfortable not to take a bath." Zhao Weiguo replied.

"Okay! It's cold, burn more hot water, but don't catch a cold." Mother Zhao replied, and started to clean up the floor, doing things very quickly.

Zhao Weiju also helped to clean up, while Zhao Weilan was so sleepy that she went to rest.

It was really cold in Wensheng at night, and even taking a shower felt terrible. Xu Tao usually took a bath for ten minutes or more, but he only lasted for five minutes in the bath here. It was really cold. He put on his pajamas, and let out a hiss.

"You also go to wash." Xu Tao finished washing himself, and also asked Zhao Weiguo.

Naturally, Zhao Weiguo nodded without any objection. He shared the bed with Xu Tao for more than half a year. Xu Tao had to take a shower because he was afraid of the cold.

"Why is it even colder tonight than yesterday!" Xu Tao sighed, and felt cold when she soaked her feet and lay in the blanket. Because she was cold, she didn't want to hug Zhao Linan. Instead, she curled up against Zhao Weiguo and shivered.

"It may snow tomorrow." Zhao Weiguo has experience, the weather tonight is obviously much colder than yesterday, and it is wet and cold.

Usually in such weather, the sudden drop in temperature is usually the rhythm of snow.

"Really?" Xu Tao raised her eyebrows.

She likes snow. Although she is afraid of cold, she also went to the north to see snow in her previous life, but she always felt that she almost felt and meant.

"I'll know tomorrow." Zhao Weiguo hugged Xu Tao's back and caressed: "The next door is in the bridal chamber, and we are also exercising?"

"Don't." Xu Tao sternly refused.

In this weather and temperature, Xu Tao didn't even bother to kill her, so she simply blocked Zhao Weiguo's proposal and fell asleep comfortably in his arms.

Although it was cold before falling asleep, Xu Tao slept in the middle of the bed, with a stove on the left and right sides, and the warmth of the two quilts was not very cold.

Xu Tao slept until dawn, and when he woke up, Zhao Linan had also woken up.

Both Zhao Weiguo and Zhao Linan woke up earlier than Xu Tao, and both were lying on the bed. When Xu Tao woke up, Zhao Linan immediately happily slid into Xu Tao's arms.

"Mom, Dad said it's snowing."

"Is it really snowing?" Xu Tao turned her head and asked Zhao Weiguo next to her.

"It's down." Through the small window next to him, Zhao Weiguo had already seen the thick snow outside. In the middle of the night yesterday, the temperature dropped, and the snow fell like a feather. It was less than two hours outside. Covered with snow.

"Is it possible to build a snowman and have a snowball fight?" Xu Tao's eyes lit up.

The more afraid of cold people, the more they like snow. Xu Tao is such a person. She is very afraid of cold, but she really likes snow.

"Mom, what is a snowman? What is a snowball fight?" Zhao Linan was lying on Xu Tao's arms with both hands and feet, and the whole person was playing under the covers.

"Get up, change your clothes, and mom will take you to build a snowman." Xu Tao kissed the child's face.

"Hmm." Zhao Linan nodded excitedly.

After dawdling on the bed, Xu Tao saw that it was already eight o'clock in the morning, so she mustered up the courage to get up and put on her clothes.

"Mom, I can't walk anymore." Zhao Linan was grabbed by Xu Tao and wore several pieces of clothes, his whole body bulging like a fat ball.

It is also a hat and a small glove. The child is well dressed, and there is no need to worry about freezing, but it is also worn a lot, and it will be very inconvenient to move.

"Do you feel cold?" Xu Tao asked Zhao Linan worriedly.

"It's not cold."

"Okay, that's it." Xu Tao nodded after making a judgment, and walked out of the room holding the child's hand.

The mother and son stood in the main room dressed neatly, and when they went out, they saw that the yard was covered with snow that was about ten centimeters thick.

"Wow!" Zhao Linan opened his mouth happily: "Mom, the ground is so white, is it sugar?"

"Son! That's snow, not sugar." Xu Tao explained, marveling at the snow-covered scenery. It's beautiful!

Because the yard of Zhao's house is hollow, Zhao Weiqiang's banquet was not held for a day, but it was full of excitement yesterday. Today at noon, I will prepare some good wine and good dishes to invite the best man and the bridesmaids to dinner. Sun Fang is chatting with the bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Xu Tao led Zhao Linan and everyone to smile, and then went to wash his face and brush his teeth.

"Mom, snow is so pretty!" Zhao Linan said while washing his face.

"Well, yes!" Xu Tao also nodded.

Zhao Linan had actually seen snow. In the two years he was in his hometown, Wenzhou was very cold, and it snowed many times, but the child might not remember it. After all, he was too young before, and Xu Tao didn't expect a one- or two-year-old child. Asshole can remember so much.

"Can you eat snow?"

"You can only eat one bite, but not more."

"Wow, then Mom, I want to eat it." Zhao Linan jumped twice excitedly, and the small ball-like child was particularly excited.

"Okay." Xu Tao was very indulgent, took the little guy to wash his face and brush his teeth, and handed over the washbasin to Zhao Weiguo.

Zhao Linan was already excited to test the yard, and then walked over slowly and squatted down according to the footprints the adults took in the yard.

"Mom, ice." Zhao Linan hung his gloves around his neck, stretched out his hand to poke at the thick snow, and turned his head strangely to share with Xu Tao.

"Yeah." Xu Tao nodded.

"Mom, Xiao Nan wants to take a bite." Zhao Linan said with an excited expression.

"Okay." Xu Tao stood by and nodded. She liked the little guy's way of exploring the world. Seeing him happy, she was also very happy. She stretched out her hand and pinched the child's pigeon nest. A place where no one stepped on, and then squatted in the snow with Zhao Linan.

"Like this, peel off the layer of snowflakes on the surface..." Xu Tao and Zhao Linan talked, putting aside the layer of snow on the surface, preparing to squeeze a small ball for the child to taste.

puff-

Zhao Linan was well-dressed, and squatted with Xu Tao in the yard like a ball. Before Xu Tao finished speaking, the little guy excitedly lowered his head and tried to eat the snow, ready to taste the snow himself, but he fell into the snow. It's the same as when it was buried in cement.

Xu Tao exclaimed, throwing away the snow ball in her hand, and quickly reached out and hugged Zhao Linan.

Zhao Linan's little face was covered with snowflakes, but when the child was picked up by Xu Tao, he was still hahaha, and the laughter infected Xu Tao.

"Mom, it's fun." Zhao Linan was too excited to be happy.

"It's fun, you just dive into the snow!" Xu Tao raised her hand and twisted his nose: "I don't want to eat snow. Mom gave you a small bite. You can't do this anymore, you know?"

"Okay." Zhao Linan Xu Tao put it down again, and the child started to play with the snowflakes with both hands.

Grab, release, grab, release and have fun.

Xu Tao quickly squeezed a small ball of snow balls, turned her head and fed it to Zhao Linan: "Ah!"

"Ah!" Zhao Linan opened his mouth to catch it, the entrance of the small snow ball melted, and the cold feeling made the child extremely happy.

"Ice. Hahaha." Speaking of Bing, he continued to be silly again.

Xu Tao also squeezed a small snowball and tasted it, but it didn't taste like it. The entrance was like water, cool.

"Mom, is it delicious?" Zhao Linan squatted beside him, waiting excitedly for Xu Tao to share the experience of eating snow.

"It's not delicious." Xu Tao took a sip and felt that Tianling Gai was agitated.

In addition to being cold, it is just a mouthful of ice-cold water, what is there to eat.

"Mom, Xiaonan still needs to eat." Zhao Linan touched the snowflake with his little hand and said happily.

"No, it's cold, put on the gloves." Xu Tao refused, grabbing the child's hand and asking the child to put the gloves on.

"Mom, mom, Xiao Nan will play for a while." Zhao Linan acted coquettishly, hiding his little hands and reluctant to wear gloves, and grinned at Xu Tao to please.

"No." Xu Tao shook her head.

Zhao Linan failed to act like a spoiled child, so he stood up and turned around and tried to escape. Unfortunately, the little guy was wearing a lot of clothes, and the flesh was thick. The snow was more than ten centimeters thick. The three-year-old child was less than one meter tall. As soon as he stepped on his leg, he fell directly into the snow.

Xu Tao was really angry and helpless, she bent down and picked up the little guy from behind.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Linan was laughing when he was picked up by Xu Tao, and it didn't hurt to fall into the snow, how could he be unhappy if he lay on his back like a little salted fish for a few seconds!

"You want to be beaten, right?" Xu Tao was really helpless, pinching the child's armpit and turning around.

Zhao Weiguo also washed up. Seeing Xu Tao and Zhao Linan playing on the snow in the yard, he shook his head helplessly. He stepped over, just took his son from Xu Tao's hand, and at the same time put a red red filled with hot water. The hot water bottle was stuffed into Xu Tao's hand.

"Look at your son." Xu Tao held a hot water bottle angrily and complained at Zhao Weiguo.

Now I can't control my skin anymore! What about a three-year-old kid!

"Dad, it's fun! Mom, I want a snowman and a snowball fight." Zhao Linan was happy in Zhao Weiguo's arms, not afraid of the cold.

"Let your dad play with you." Xu Tao herself was afraid of the cold. After pinching two small groups of snow, she was not ready to build a snowman. It was too cold, and this activity was not suitable for her who was afraid of the cold.

Zhao Linan is still not happy: "No! Mom is with me."

Zhao Linan is not enough to play on his own. He also likes to take Xu Tao with him. Maybe Zhao Weiguo is playing with him, but he will simply play with him, not at all. Because of the matchmaking.

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Xu Tao nodded in agreement.

Zhao Weiguo carried Zhao Linan to the corner of the yard, took a shovel, and started shoveling snow and making a snowman. Zhao Linan joined in the fun.

"Dad, do more."

"Okay." Zhao Weiguo cooperated in shoveling the snow.

Xu Tao also commanded Zhao Weiguo with a hot water bottle. Zhao Weiguo built three little snowmen, and also took some branches to match, which was quite interesting.

"Dad, is this Xiao Nan?" Zhao Linan looked at the youngest snowman and asked with a smile.

"Yeah."

"It's not as cute as Xiao Nan, alas!" Zhao Linan sighed, but was still very happy, pointing to the uglier snowman next to him: "Is this a mother?"

"Well." Zhao Weiguo continued to respond.

"You made me too ugly." Xu Tao complained and disgusted: "No, you have to make my snowman look better."

"Yes, my mother is beautiful, this is ugly." Zhao Linan also nodded in agreement, and the little guy also watched He looked around, then ran to Zhao Weiqiang's feet in the main room: "Uncle, oranges, I want oranges."

"Okay." If he wanted, Zhao Weiqiang took an orange for the little guy.

Zhao Linan took the orange, ran back, grabbed the big round orange and put it on the snowman's head.

After putting it away, Zhao Linan smiled: "It's good-looking."

"...?" Xu Tao looked at the snowman in the middle with an orange on it, looking a little funny, but seeing Zhao Linan saying it was good-looking, she looked at the person who was waiting for praise. With a small expression, Xu Tao reluctantly nodded in agreement: "Well, it looks good."

What else can I do? The oranges that her son brought for her snowman should not be praised!

Zhao Linan was happier when he received Xu Tao's praise, and began to add things to the snowman. Xu Tao's snowman changed from a small snowdrift to an orange on his head and a few branches around his neck.

"Brother, here, stick this branch as well." Zhao Weilan also got up, came over with a smile and contributed a branch, which acted as a broom and inserted it beside Xu Taoxueman.

"Pfft." Xu Tao could only look at and laugh.

"Okay, okay, don't make a snowman, and bring Xiaonan to breakfast." Zhao's mother came out of the kitchen, watching the lively family of three and Zhao Weilan reminding with a smile.

They're all adults, and they build snowmen, really!

The Zhao family's breakfast was not very rich, and most of them were leftovers from yesterday's banquet, including fish and meat, which was not shabby, but Xu Tao was not used to eating it.

She lowered her head and ate the steamed buns silently, watching everyone else on the table happily eating, and said nothing.

Zhao Weiguo knew Xu Tao's habit of not eating leftovers, and silently placed a pickle on the table in front of Xu Tao.

Xu Tao looked at Zhao Weiguo with a smile, and was very happy with the man's attentiveness.

Xu Tao knew that not eating leftovers was her cleanliness problem. In a place like the countryside, especially after a banquet, how dare she be picky eaters. If she was in Yangcheng, she could cook by herself, and Xu Tao could still prevent Zhao Linan from eating. , but now in her hometown in Wenzhou, Xu Tao had to endure her real thoughts, and hurried off the table after a few bites.

She was afraid that if she didn't leave the table, she would stop Zhao Linan from eating leftovers.

After breakfast, it snowed a little bit outside. It wasn't big, but it was floating in a big way. Because at noon, the best man and the bridesmaids had to have lunch together, and it snowed again, so everyone didn't plan to go out. .

It's cold and it's snowing and there aren't many things to do to pass the time.

The men got together to play cards, while the bridesmaids sat at another table drinking tea and chatting. Xu Tao was not familiar with these bridesmaids and didn't want to sit at the table. She would rather go back to the room to lie down and read a book when she had time. After all, it was too cold. .

"Sister-in-law, come on, let's sit and chat together!" Sun Fang was not dressed as a bride today, but she was also wearing a bright red dress and greeted Xu Tao with a smile.

Xu Tao had no choice but to sit at the table with Zhao Weiju, occasionally grabbing two melon seeds to pass the time, and in the face of everyone's chat, casually made two sentences.

"Mom, my brother and I want to go outside to play." After Zhao Linan had breakfast, the little guy was honest for a while, and Wu Xuewen got together and muttered. When he was bored, he came to Xu Tao to act coquettishly, and pointed to the outside of the yard with his little finger.

"It's cold outside, it's snowing, why don't you go out?" Xu Tao was a little helpless, she turned her head and stretched out her hand to tidy up the hat for the little guy to persuade him.

"Mom, just for a while." Zhao Linan coquettishly, the gloved child stretched out his chubby little fingers.

"Ask your father, if father agrees, mother agrees." Xu Tao couldn't bear the little guy's coquettish behavior, and he couldn't bear to forcibly refuse. At this time, he basically put the responsibility on Zhao Weiguo.

Zhao Linan went to ask Zhao Weiguo, Zhao Weiguo refused seriously, and the child would only point at Zhao Weiguo when he was unhappy. She was still a gentle, beautiful and talkative mother.

"Okay!" Zhao Linan turned his head and took two steps to Zhao Weiguo's side: "Dad, Mom said let me go out and play for a while."

"..." Xu Tao blinked and looked at the child.

Did she just say let him hang out for a while? She didn't agree, did she? This kid, he knows how to translate fudge in his own way.

It's a pity that Zhao Weiguo was not fooled: "No, it's cold outside." Zhao Weiguo grabbed the playing cards, glanced at his son, and immediately refused.

"Wow! Mom, Dad is bad." Zhao Linan's flickering didn't work, so he turned his head and acted coquettishly at Xu Tao again, his face wrinkled and seemed very unhappy.

Xu Tao smiled, reached out and took an orange from the table and peeled a piece: "Xiao Nan, open your mouth to eat an orange, ah!"

"Xiao Nan won't eat it, ah!" Zhao Linan protested unhappily, saying that he would not eat it, but Xiao Nan did not eat it. With an honest sound, he opened to catch the orange petals that Xu Tao fed him.

"Sweet?"

"Sweet."

"Are you still eating?" Xu Tao asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Zhao Linan nodded with a puffed face.

"Pfft, sister-in-law, you raised Xiaonan so cute." Zhao Weilan was also sitting on the table to play. There were two bridesmaids of the same age as her, and there were some topics to talk about.

But Xu Tao was greeted by Sun Fang and sat on the table, everyone's attention subconsciously followed Xu Tao.

Xu Tao didn't speak much, wearing a woolen coat, full of urban atmosphere, in the words of the older generation, it was very foreign, and Xu Tao's complexion was very white, and there was no makeup on his face, and there was a gentle smell of books. The bridesmaids always pay attention to her subconsciously.

Therefore, everyone has seen the interaction between Xu Tao and Zhao Linan. Among them, Sun Fang's bridesmaid, Sun Meiru, has been paying attention.

Sun Fang, as the bride, had a beautiful day yesterday, and everyone was circling around her, but when she said hello to Xu Tao just now, she found that everyone's attention had stopped on Xu Tao, and she felt a little unhappy. Xu Tao stole her limelight as a bride.

"It's cute at the moment, and it gives people a headache when it's peeled." Xu Tao answered and fed the child another orange.

"Mom, Xiao Nan is cute and not skinny." Zhao Linan hummed in protest while eating oranges.

"Okay, our Xiaonan is the cutest. You are obedient and play with brother Xuewen at home, will you not go out?" Xu Tao reassured him.

"Xuewen, it's cold outside, I'm playing in the main room with my younger brother, don't go out and run around." Zhao Weiju also spoke.

"Okay." Wu Xuewen was very obedient, and when Zhao Weiju said some harsh words, Wu Xuewen immediately agreed.

"Look, my brother is playing at home, does Xiaonan want to go out to play by himself?" Xu Tao asked Zhao Linan with a smile.

Seeing that even his playmate was lost, Zhao Linan pouted a little unhappily, turned his head to face Xu Tao with his little butt, and did not speak, just expressed his unhappiness with his attitude.

"Xiao Nan, come, sit here with my aunt, and my aunt will peel the peanuts for you to eat." Zhao Weilan comforted the child.

"Hmph." The stubborn little back snorted very strongly, and lost his temper in a milky voice.

"Xiao Nan, auntie has toffee, do you want to eat toffee!" Zhao Weiju also coaxed the child softly.

"..." Zhao Linan was no longer humming, and the stubborn little back of the child was still insisting, thinking that he really wanted to eat milk candy.

Xu Tao looked at the child's back and smiled, reached out and took a toffee from the table and handed it to her back, before shaking it in front of Zhao Linan: "Toffee, sweet toffee, do you want Xiaonan to eat it?"

"Eat ." Zhao Linan turned back immediately, his stubbornness disappeared, and he quickly rushed to Xu Tao's leg: "Mom, Xiao Nan wants to eat candy."

"I already ate one today, this is the second one!" Xu Tao put the milk candy Put it in the hands of a child.

Zhao Linan loves meat and candy too much, so when Xu Tao usually buys her toffee, he will control the amount of the child, maybe he is only allowed to eat two a day, but the child is more obsessed with toffee.

In fact, most people are like this. The more they are not allowed to eat, the more they want to eat.

"Mom, Xiao Nan remembers." Zhao Linan nodded, and put the candy in Xu Tao's hand: "Mom, Xiao Nan eats it at night."

"Okay." Xu Tao smiled and put the candy in his pocket.

Chapter 070

Sun Fang watched Xu Tao and Zhao Linan play, they were as close as mother and son, and when everyone at the table was paying attention to Xu Tao, her depression became more and more obvious. mean?

"Xiao Nan likes candy! That little aunt will give you a candy too!" Zhao Weilan took a toffee and prepared to give it to Zhao Linan.

Zhao Linan shook his head: "Little aunt, my mother said that you can only eat two candies a day." As he spoke, his little hand stood up and made a cute gesture.

When the child finished speaking, Wu Liuliu's agile eyes also looked at Zhao Weilan, with a look as if you were thinking of me as a fool!

"It's so nice." Xu Tao smiled and touched the child, then fed him an orange, and then picked up the child and sat on her lap.

Compared with other children, Zhao Linan is really good and well-behaved. Many children will be very skinny when they sit on a table full of adults. Zhao Linan will not. Now that Xu Tao is holding him in his arms, he just sits obediently. .

"Mom, peanuts." The child told Xu Tao what he wanted to eat.

Xu Tao reached out and took a few peanuts for him, and the child grabbed the peanut and peeled it. One peanut contained two peanut kernels. Zhao Linan ate one by himself, and turned his head to feed Xu Tao enthusiastically.

"Mom doesn't eat it, Xiaonan eats it by himself." After Xu Tao ate one, he let the child eat it slowly.

Zhao Linan nodded and worked hard to continue peeling the peanut shells. If he couldn't peel them, he would use his small mouth to help.

Zhao Weilan looked at her little nephew's serious expression, and continued to test without believing in evil. When she saw Zhao Linan peeling a peanut, she said softly, "Xiao Nan, my aunt also wants to eat peanuts."

As she spoke, Zhao Weilan stared at Zhao Linan's small hand peeling it. Good peanut, the meaning is obvious.

"Hey, little aunt wants to eat peanuts?" Zhao Linan asked Zhao Weilan very seriously.

"Yeah." Zhao Weilan nodded sharply, looking at the child expectantly.

"Can't my little aunt peel it by herself?" Zhao Linan asked with a confused face, a little naughty.

"Then sister-in-law, she will also peel the peanuts and eat them! How can Xiaonan give it to her mother and not her little aunt!" Zhao Weilan didn't expect Zhao Linan to refuse at all, and immediately expressed her dissatisfaction with a look of surprise.

This kid is clearly treated differently!

"Little aunt, don't compare yourself to my mother." Zhao Linan shook his head and spoke in a sincere tone.

"..." Zhao Weilan was immediately speechless, as if what her little nephew said made sense, how could she have the nerve to challenge Xu Tao's position in the minds of children.

Xu Tao patted Zhao Linan's head in a funny way, she knew that Zhao Linan was actually very generous: "Xiao Nan, what did mom say?"

"Mom, Xiao Nan is making fun of Auntie!" Zhao Linan immediately smiled and talked to Xu Tao, and stretched out his hand to hold the two A peanut was put into Zhao Weilan's hands: "Little aunt, here it is."

"Thank you Xiaonan, Xiaonan is so nice." Zhao Weilan took the peanut with a smile, her eyes full of novelty and joy.

Peanuts peeled by my little nephew!

Because Zhao Weilan deliberately teased the children, everyone was paying attention to Xu Tao. At this moment, people at the table couldn't help but marvel at Zhao Linan's cuteness, and they all praised Zhao Linan for being smart and sensible.

"Sister-in-law, it can be seen that you are really good to Xiaonan, but you can't see it at all, and I can't imagine that you are actually his stepmother!" Sun Fang suddenly spoke, and the two sentences instantly changed the atmosphere of the scene. Very embarrassing.

Xu Tao was also a little stunned, but she never thought that Sun Fang would say these words regardless of the occasion, even if she couldn't get off the stage, it also exposed her relationship with Zhao Linan.

Xu Tao naturally knew very well that she was a stepmother, and she didn't care what outsiders thought, but she didn't really want the child Zhao Linan to know.

Xu Tao is calm about many things, and can deal with anything with ease, but she is a little unsure about being Zhao Linan's stepmother. She looked down at Zhao Linan in her arms in panic.

Zhao Linan blinked, the child looked at Sun Fang ignorantly, then turned to Xu Tao: "Mom, what did auntie say about stepmother?"

"..." Xu Tao faced the child's question, and then looked at Sun Fang opposite, with a never-ending expression. Have been serious.

Sun Fang smiled, looked at Zhao Linan with a strange expression and asked, "Don't you know Xiaonan? She is not your mother, but your stepmother!"

"Enough." Xu Tao interrupted angrily, and she hugged her. Zhao Linan stood up and looked at Sun Fang with a serious face: "I'm Xiao Nan's stepmother, as everyone knows, but even if Xiao Nan wants to know, you don't need to tell me."

"Sister-in-law, I'm not malicious, I thought Xiao Nan I only said it when I know it." Sun Fang pretended to be innocent and smiled, explaining unconvincingly.

Xu Tao felt as if a pot of hot oil had been poured into her heart, her anger gradually burned in her chest, and the hand holding Zhao Linan trembled slightly.

She actually didn't mind that Zhao Linan found out that she was a stepmother, but she always thought about waiting for the little guy to grow up a bit before telling him.

"Sun Fang, you don't have to be so hypocritical. You actually know that Xiaonan doesn't know yet, and he doesn't see him relying on me so much, so you deliberately picked it up." Xu Tao was too lazy to talk to Sun Fangxu and Weishe, she knew very well that Sun Fang I just said it because I was a little upset, and I deliberately said it in front of everyone.

Xu Tao never denied her own stepmother's identity, but she also really cared about Zhao Linan's feelings.

Sun Fang provoked her!

"..." Sun Fang was embarrassed. She didn't expect that Xu Tao, who looked beautiful and gentle, was so unforgiving when she just woke up.

"Mom." Zhao Linan grabbed Xu Tao's clothes innocently and ignorantly.

Xu Tao lowered her eyes, touched Zhao Linan's head, and covered Zhao Linan's ear with one hand, not wanting the child to see her get angry: "Sun Fang, as a sister-in-law, we could get along peacefully, but since you don't think it's necessary , then I will not be polite, I hope you can continue to be proud, and don't have that day when you ask me."

After speaking, Xu Tao turned around with Zhao Linan in her arms.

In fact, Xu Tao can tolerate many things, but she can't tolerate the only thing related to Zhao Linan. Sun Fang has to provoke her disgust, and she will never get used to her.

This Wen Province, Xu Tao doesn't care, at this moment, even Zhao Weiguo's position in her mind has to be moved back, and face is useless.

"Sister-in-law, how do you say such a thing!" Sun Fang was frightened by Xu Tao's serious expression.

Originally, the women were eating tea and chatting at this table, and the men didn't pay too much attention. Xu Tao suddenly stood up and spoke, and Zhao Weiguo also noticed the strange atmosphere.

Zhao Weiguo was sitting at the next table playing cards, and when he saw Xu Tao standing up, the man threw the cards and walked to Xu Tao. He didn't ask what happened to Xu Tao, but reached out to take Zhao Linan over.

"No." Zhao Linan hugged Xu Tao with both hands and feet, unwilling to let go.

Xu Tao kissed Zhao Linan's head, her eyes were a little complicated, then she shook her head at Zhao Weiguo, hugged the child and asked softly, "Didn't Xiaonan want to go out just now? Wouldn't your mother take you out to play?"

"Okay." Zhao Linan was sullen. He buried his head on Xu Tao's neck and nodded.

Xu Tao heard the little guy say yes, hugged him with both hands, held the child's buttocks, glanced at the faint snowflakes outside, and walked out without any hesitation.

Zhao Weiguo glanced at Xu Tao's back, then looked back at Sun Fang and the others.

"Brother." Zhao Weilan was also a little panicked, looking at the backs of Xu Tao and Zhao Linan, feeling a little helpless for a while.

She could see that Xu Tao cared about Zhao Linan very much. If it wasn't for the fact that she cared, how could she treat Zhao Linan as her own son, and it was also because she cared, so when the third sister-in-law, Sun Fang, said it, the sister-in-law would be unhappy.

"Where are the umbrellas at home?" Zhao Weiguo asked Zhao Weilan.

"I'll get it." Zhao Weilan immediately went to the door to get an umbrella, and hurriedly handed the umbrella to Zhao Weiguo.

Zhao Weiguo took the umbrella and turned around and walked out.

Zhaojia Village is quite large, and compared to the village, it is already very good. Xu Tao hugged Zhao Linan and walked silently along the path of Zhaojia Village, struggling with how to tell the child about the stepmother.

"Xiao Nan, is it okay for mom to tell you something?" Although Xu Tao was very entangled and felt that the topic was heavy, she still spoke.

"Okay." Zhao Linan was very sensible and obediently agreed.

Xu Tao hugged Zhao Linan, stepped on the snow, and squeaked her footprints all the way. She walked aimlessly along the spacious road of Zhaojiacun towards the threshing field, looking at the snow-white in the distance, and the others. The little snowflakes that occasionally floated in the sky turned red.

"Does Xiao Nan know what stepmother means?"

"Yes." Zhao Linan nodded while hugging Xu Tao.

"..." The child knew that Xu Tao didn't even know how to tell the child. Maybe it was because she cared, so Xu Tao was timid for the first time. She was considering her words and thinking about how to tell Xiao Nan.

She said, the child understands, will he still kiss her like before and treat her as a mother without any qualms? Xu Tao was not sure.

"Mom is actually Xiao Nan's stepmother!" Xu Tao tried to speak in a relaxed tone, but only she understood how fragile she was at this moment, and how easily she blurted out.

In fact, she didn't want the three-year-old little guy to understand the meaning of stepmother. In fact, apart from failing to give birth to him, she did nothing worse than her biological mother.

"No, my mother is not a stepmother, my mother is my mother." Zhao Linan shook his head with a firm tone.

Xu Tao's nose was even more sour when the child retorted: "Xiao Nan, your mother is the one who gave birth to you, and the stepmother is the one who raised you. Although your mother did not give birth to you, she still loves you very much. The person your mother loves the most is you." After speaking, Xu Tao choked a little and kissed the child's hat.

"I know my mother, and I love my mother the most." Zhao Linan pouted and kissed Xu Tao's cheek. Seeing Xu Tao's red eyes, the child was overwhelmed and comforted: "Mom, don't cry, be good."

"Okay. ." Xu Tao forced a smile.

The mother and son continued to walk in the wind and snow without fear of the cold. After Zhao Linan comforted Xu Tao, she put her cold lips on Xu Tao's cheek and kissed her, whispering, "Mom, you are not a stepmother."

"Huh?" Xu Tao Looking at the child, I feel that the child may not understand the meaning of the stepmother.

"Mom, let me tell you a secret." Zhao Linan spoke in a very low voice.

"What?" Xu Tao asked.

"Xiao Nan actually came to find her mother with a mother. She said you were my mother, and then I became my mother's Xiao Nan." Zhao Linan spoke to Xu Tao with a very serious tone.

Xu Tao was stunned for a moment. She vaguely heard someone say that children have prenatal memories, and many children seem to be able to remember their memories when they were in their mother's womb.

"When did Xiaonan find her mother, when was it in her mother's belly?" Xu Tao asked curiously.

"Well, not my mother." Zhao Linan shook his head frantically and anxiously.

"..." Xu Tao blinked in confusion.

"It was on the bus." Zhao Linan smiled at Xu Tao. The child was very naive and ignorant. He was talking to Xu Tao, but one sentence woke Xu Tao up.

On a truck? Xu Tao couldn't believe it.

"Is it when your mother was holding you on the train?" Xu Tao's nose was pantothenic acid involuntarily.

So this little guy is the child who came to find her by himself? Is it the little guy who picked her to be the mother? Not your mother? It's not the original owner, the person he picked was her Xu Tao?

"Mmmm." Zhao Linan nodded and put his little finger on his lips: "Mom, if you can't say anything, just tell mom."

Xu Tao's eyes were really red, tears could not help falling from her eyes, watching Zhao Linan suddenly burst into laughter, This is her son. God asked her to wear books, but he also let him choose. He chose her to be her mother! very nice.

"Xiao Nan, mother loves you, remember that the person your mother loves the most in her life is you." Xu Tao kissed the child's cheek and told him of her deep love.

No way, God has arranged the biggest thing!

"Mom, Xiao Nan loves you too." Zhao Linan smiled, putting a cool little hand around Xu Tao's neck, and then waving at the person behind.

"Dad."

Xu Tao heard the child call Dad, she hugged him and turned around unexpectedly, and then saw Zhao Weiguo walking not far away with an umbrella, he followed her and Zhao Linan silently, and when he saw Zhao Linan calling him , Zhao Weiguo just quickened his pace and walked over.

In the snow and sky, Zhao Weiguo's figure is tall and calm.

Xu Tao hugged Zhao Linan and smiled contentedly. When she looked back and saw Zhao Weiguo, her mood melted slightly again. Between the ups and downs, Xu Tao only felt very satisfied.

When Sun Fang revealed something she never wanted to reveal, the last trace of heavy burden in Xu Tao's heart disappeared.

"The snow is a bit heavy." When Zhao Weiguo walked in, he opened his umbrella to block the snow from the sky: "I'll hug Xiao Nan?"

"I don't want a father, I want a mother." Zhao Linan shook his head and pouted, unwilling to get down from Xu Tao's arms.

"It's fine if I hold him, and I can still hold him." Xu Tao was not too tired, and was very happy and satisfied holding Zhao Linan.

Zhao Weiguo looked at Xu Tao's somewhat red eyes, looked at Zhao Linan, then nodded and looked at the threshing yard in front of him, and he was still a few steps away: "Since they are all out, do you want to go to the threshing yard in front?"

"Xiao Nan going?" Xu Tao asked the little baby in her arms.

"Yes." Zhao Linan nodded happily immediately.

"Then let's go!" Xu Tao smiled lightly and answered in a relaxed tone.

Zhao Weiguo looked at Xu Tao and realized that she should have slowed down, so he walked slowly with the mother and son under the umbrella, and walked for four or five minutes before arriving at the threshing ground.

The threshing floor is quite large, and the thick snow is particularly white, dazzlingly white.

"Didn't you call for a snowball fight in the morning? Do you want to have a snowball fight?" Zhao Weiguo asked Xu Tao.

"Yes." Zhao Linan immediately stretched out his hand excitedly.

Xu Tao was also interested, holding Zhao Linan and looking at Zhao Weiguo with a look of anticipation.

Xu Tao was gentle, Zhao Linan was innocent, and the two little faces looked at him so eagerly, Zhao Weiguo couldn't help but smiled slightly, put down the umbrella in his hand, and pulled Xu Tao and Zhao Linan to the one next to the threshing field. Under the mulberry tree.

"You stand up first."

"?" Xu Tao looked at Zhao Weiguo suspiciously.

Zhao Linan also blinked and looked at Zhao Weiguo, too curious.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Zhao Weiguo tried his best to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, turned around and suddenly kicked the little mulberry tree, and then quickly and flexibly avoided it.

Xu Tao hugged Zhao Linan, and the two stood under the mulberry tree. Before they could react, they were sprinkled with the overwhelming snow on the mulberry tree.

"Haha!" Xu Tao sneered, this man's stuff is really not a good thing, Xu Tao glared at Zhao Weiguo angrily.

"Dad!" Zhao Linan didn't expect this, and the child's tone was also very dissatisfied: "Mom, let me down, I'm going to beat Dad up."

"Okay, Mommy beat him with you." Xu Tao put down Zhao Linan and stretched out Start to catch the snow ball and throw it towards Zhao Weiguo.

Zhao Weiguo deftly dodged Xu Tao's attack, and then watched as he rushed towards him with a handful of white snow, ready to attack his son, Zhao Weiguo just avoided it perfunctorily.

Zhao Linan was still young, and he had more than enough power. The child could only grab a small group of snowflakes and threw them at Zhao Weiguo. The snowflakes spread. Although they didn't hit Zhao Weiguo, the child was still very happy. All unpleasantness is forgotten.

In the snow, only Zhao Linan's happy laughter was left.

After the snowball fight, Zhao Linan was so excited that he was hugged by Zhao Weiguo, Xu Tao held an umbrella, and the family of three walked home slowly.

Zhao Weiguo did not ask Xu Tao how he was feeling, nor did he tell Xu Tao about Sun Fang. When they returned home, the atmosphere of the Zhao family was a little weird.

Mother Zhao looked at the door with a worried look on her face, and was relieved when she saw them coming back.

But because Sun Fang's words spoiled the interest, the original harmony seemed to be opened by Chi Guoguo, and the best man and bridesmaids in Zhao's living room were also embarrassed.

"I'm back, it's just time for lunch." Mother Zhao said with a smile as much as she could.

"Big brother and sister-in-law." Zhao Weiqiang also came over to please someone, and explained: "Sister-in-law, Sun Fang is young, she can't speak her mind, but don't take it to heart."

Zhao Weiqiang also knew what Sun Fang said to offend Xu. Tao, he also felt that what Sun Fang said was inappropriate, but he planned to talk about it in private at night, at least he had to ease the relationship for now.

"Oh." Xu Tao snorted and looked at Sun Fang: "She seems to be older than me!"

"..." This is embarrassing.

It is true that Sun Fang is older than Xu Tao. Xu Tao is called a sister-in-law because Zhao Weiguo is older. If you consider her age, she is only a few years older than Zhao Weilan. Sun Fang is twenty-one years old and Xu Taoxu is twenty-one years old. , is indeed older than Xu Tao.

Zhao Linan was a child who didn't understand the atmosphere. The little guy only felt that his mother didn't seem to care about his uncle, so he took Xu Tao's hand: "Mom, wash your hands and eat."

"Okay." Xu Tao was pulled by Zhao Linan Go to the kitchen and get hot water to wash your hands.

"Mom, we'll go, um, snowball fight." Zhao Linan happily talked to Xu Tao while washing his hands.

Xu Tao naturally agreed to everything. Even if Zhao Linan wanted the stars and the moon, she would probably find a way to pluck them for him. It was only now that Xu Tao suddenly understood the psychology of parents who dote on their children.

Don't let things take their course!

Although Xu Tao and Sun Fang had an unpleasant quarrel, because there were still many guests at home, everyone still managed to do a good job on the surface. After lunch, the bridesmaids and best men didn't stay, and they were preparing to take risks one after another. Go home in the snow.

Everyone can understand the eyes and the situation. Sun Fang had an unpleasant relationship with the sister-in-law of the Zhao family as soon as she entered the door. She thoughtlessly picked on her stepmother in front of so many people. No matter who it was, she would feel uncomfortable. After the bridesmaids sighed about Sun Fang's ridiculous behavior, they naturally prepared to leave after eating.

Staying there, it's them who are embarrassed.

"Sister, it's a long way to walk back, or let my brother-in-law call someone to drive us back to Xinghuatun!" Sun Xiu has also seen the car in the past two days. The car is parked in front of Zhao's house. Big brother can help drive these bridesmaids.

The road was far and it was snowing, and the five bridesmaids should be able to sit in a car.

Sun Fang looked at her sister who quietly came to speak, and looked at the sky outside. It was indeed snowing heavily. She was a little lucky that it didn't snow when she got married yesterday, so she nodded and went to talk to Zhao Weiqiang.

The car was parked outside anyway, so it was not difficult to help send the bridesmaids back.

"Wei Qiang, that, can you ask your elder brother to help drive your sister back to Xinghuatun. It's snowing outside. It's going to take a long time to walk home! It's too cold." Sun Fang quietly pulled Zhao Weiqiang spoke.

Zhao Weiqiang was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. Seeing that Sun Fang's expression was not very good, he wanted to say that you just offended Mrs.

Zhao Weiqiang felt bitter in his heart and looked helpless at Sun Fang, but he still insisted on asking Zhao Weiguo.

"Brother, it's snowing outside, Xinghuatan is a little far away, can I trouble you to drive a few bridesmaids back to Xinghuatan?" Zhao Weiqiang asked, not very confident.

Several bridesmaids standing in Zhao's house all looked at Zhao Weiguo expectantly.

It's good to be able to go back in a car. The scenery doesn't have to eat snow, so they are naturally happy. Sun Xiu and Sun Meiru all have bright eyes, looking forward to it.

Zhao Weiguo replied indifferently: "The key is in your sister-in-law's hand, ask your sister-in-law." Zhao Weiguo glanced at Zhao Weiqiang, and then glanced at Sun Fang.

Xu Tao was sitting next to the fire cage in the hall with Zhao Linan, and playing glass marbles with Zhao Linan. When he heard what Zhao Weiguo said, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled lightly.

In fact, where is the car key with her, it is clearly in Zhao Weiguo's own pocket, but since the man said that, it means that he has handed over the arrangement of the matter to her.

Xu Tao couldn't help feeling a little relieved, and she also hooked her lips with some joy.

"Sister-in-law..." Zhao Weiqiang turned his head to look at Xu Tao in embarrassment.

Xu Tao is playing glass marbles with Zhao Linan seriously: "Xiao Nan, can mom put it here?"

Zhao Linan took a serious look at where Xu Tao pointed, and then pointed to a space: "Mom, if you put it here, you will win here. "

Oh! Mommy won, will Xiaonan be unhappy?" Xu Tao asked with a smile.

"No." Zhao Linan shook his head very manly.

Xu Tao smiled and put the marbles on the small space, Zhao Linan immediately clapped his hands in support: "Mom, you won."

"Thank you Xiaonan for letting Mommy!" Xu Tao smiled and leaned over to kiss the child's cheek.

Yo her baby boy! She is so cute!

"Xiao Nan is a man, I want my mother." Zhao Linan also smiled, clapping his little chest with his little hand.

Everyone in the main room, the four or five bridesmaids, all watched a mother-son relationship between Xu Tao and Zhao Linan, and then everyone subconsciously looked at Sun Fang again, feeling that Sun Fang had lifted a stone and smashed herself in the foot.

Zhao Weiqiang had a headache, and felt that Sun Fang couldn't come down to the stage, so he dared to disturb Xu Tao: "Sister-in-law, is the car key here with you? Well, can you give it to my eldest brother to send some bridesmaids home, outside? It 's snowing."

Xu Tao raised her head to look at Zhao Weiqiang, her eyes drifted over several bridesmaids, and then she looked at Sun Fang.

Sun Fang bit her lip and didn't dare to speak. At this moment, she regretted what she had said impulsive before, but she was a little unwilling. She was the one who got married, and she was the one who deserved the fame. Why did Xu Tao steal her limelight? , is obviously the stepmother of the child, and pretends to love the child, who is pretending to be seen.

Sun Fang thought angrily, but did not feel that she had done something wrong.

"I'm sorry! The car is out of gas and can't be driven." Xu Tao lied calmly and refused, not feeling embarrassed.

Wasn't Sun Fang very proud before? At that time, Xu Tao said that she hoped that Sun Fang would not ask her for anything, but she would not help anyone who asked for her in the future. Although the matter of her being Zhao Linan's stepmother was broken, the result was gratifying. Xu Tao felt in her heart. Instead, the big stone was put down.

But Xu Tao still won't let it go. People respect me one foot, and I respect her ten feet. It's a matter of courtesy!

Sun Fang made her uncomfortable before, but now she will let her down from the stage. It's good, doesn't she like the scenery and slap her face to be fat?

"This, this is it!" Zhao Weiqiang answered reluctantly.

Sun Fang gasped for breath and stared at Xu Tao: "Sister-in-law, is the car really out of gas?"

"Yes!" Xu Tao nodded her head, still confident.

"..." Sun Fang felt as if she had eaten flies, but she couldn't say anything, she was so sick and powerless.

"It doesn't matter, then we'll just go back." It was Sun Meiru who was speaking, and the bridesmaid who accompanied Sun Fang in the car.

"Well, I think the wind and snow outside seems to be a little smaller at the moment." Xu Tao touched Zhao Linan's head and stood up, glanced at the sky where the snow still remained, and continued to talk nonsense.
