The Han siblings were so miserable that Jiang Youtao shed tears of sympathy when she saw them.
Jiang Youtao went out to take out the trash, and Han Taorui saw her when she went out. Han Taorui trotted after Jiang Youtao and said, "Comrade, I'm sorry. My friend was reckless today."
Han Taorui fits the definition of a peach blossom fairy very well. Her voice is soft and gentle, and her eyes are particularly clear and pure when she looks at people.
Huo Jingshuang suddenly came this afternoon, and not only Han Taorui but even Han Yanqing was stunned.
The two of them came back together from outside, and their intimate posture and the watches they were wearing showed that they were a couple.
Even so, Huo Jingshuang still dared to go up to the man and ask his name. After being rejected by the man, she remained angry for a long time.
It can be said that before today, Han Taorui didn't know that Huo Jingshuang was such a person.
Jiang Youtao still had a good impression of the Han brothers and sisters. She smiled at Han Taorui and said, "It's okay. My boyfriend didn't treat her well either. We're even."
Han Taorui smiled and said, "My name is Han Taorui. I moved here with my brother. My brother's name is Han Yanqing. What about you? What's your name?"
"My name is Jiang Youtao." According to the setting in the book, Han Taorui, the little peach blossom fairy, fell directly into Han's mother's belly right after she was born. After she was born, she immediately forgot that she was a peach blossom fairy.
They get along as ordinary people. Jiang Youtao is confused. Since she has been reincarnated, why do they still emphasize in the copywriting and the title that the heroine is a peach blossom spirit? Isn't this just selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton?
That small world consciousness was not a good thing either. It was very overbearing. Han Yanqing had worked for it all his life and was about to retire, but was snatched away by another small world consciousness. It found out and started to snatch it away directly.
For this purpose, they are not afraid to expose the truth of the world. Both small worlds are somewhat sick.
No wonder Han Yanqing broke down in the end.
"What a fate, our names both have the character "Tao" in them." Han Taorui was even happier. She didn't know why, but she loved peach blossoms and peaches from the bottom of her heart. Whenever someone's name contained the character "Tao", she felt happy.
"Yes, yes, we are destined to meet." As they talked, they took out the trash and walked towards the yard together. Han Taorui and Jiang Youtao got along better and better, and she even asked if she could find her when she had time.
Jiang Youtao is very happy to interact with girls, especially those with good character: "We are going out in the afternoon and will be at home all day tomorrow. You can come over then."
Han Taorui nodded happily.
They separated at their respective doorsteps. When Han Taorui returned, Han Yanqing was picking vegetables. He looked up at his sister and asked, "Why are you so happy?"
Han Taorui moved a small stool and sat next to him: "I met the female teacher who Jingshuang offended this afternoon outside. I apologized to her and she didn't make things difficult for me. Brother, she is a really nice person, and her name also has the word Tao in it."
Han's mother died early, and Han's grandfather and grandmother were afraid that their grandchildren would be wronged in the new family formed by Han's father, so they took them to live with them to raise them.
Han Yanqing joined the army when he was a teenager and served for ten years. Because of his outstanding military achievements, he became a deputy regiment commander at a young age. If it weren't for this accident, Han Yanqing would probably have served in the army for decades.
But there is nothing wrong with changing careers. His grandparents are old and they haven't enjoyed much happiness yet. His sister is still young and has been raised very simply by his grandfather. He is really worried about her without him looking after her.
"If you like her, then you should spend more time with her and make two friends." My sister is too naive, but she is very self-aware. If she thinks someone is good, then she will be a good friend.
Han Taorui nodded vigorously.
At this time, an elderly couple in their fifties or sixties came from the back, carrying a lot of things in their hands. The brother and sister stood up and walked towards them.
.....
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Youtao went to the courtyard without calling Gu Nianwei and Xu Manqiu.
This courtyard has undergone an upgrade of the watermelon-eating system, so there is no need to worry about safety.
It has been windy these past two days, and the melon seeds that were dried yesterday are almost dry.
Jiang Youtao put the pot on fire, waited for the temperature to rise, then casually poured the melon seeds into the pot and stir-fried them. After a while, the melon seeds became crispy. Jiang Youtao grabbed a few and ate them. The flesh was crispy and tasty.
Jiang Youtao took out all the melon seeds, and by the time Fu Shaohua came over, Jiang Youtao had fried quite a few.
Fu Shaohua hurriedly stopped the car and came over to help. The two of them each fried a pot and soon finished frying the melon seeds that had been cooked yesterday. After Xu Manqiu and Gu Nianwei came, they started packing the bags.
After this batch was loaded, the second wave of cooking began. This time we were busy until midnight, and finally more than a thousand kilograms of melon seeds were cooked. According to the wind speed tonight, they can be fried tomorrow morning.
There was a kang in this room, which had been cleaned and had beds, quilts and a melon-eating system prepared. Fu Shaohua slept in one room, while Jiang Youtao and the other two slept in another. A strong wind blew at night, rustling the trees outside.
The next morning, they made a quick breakfast and fried the remaining melon seeds. They finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Youtao planned to do it once every one or two months. If she did it once a month, she would be exhausted.
Several people walked back together. Knowing that the two had confirmed their identities, Xu Manqiu stopped hindering them and went to Gu Nianwei's room.
Jiang Youtao was preparing for class, and Fu Shaohua was reading a book from her bookshelf. Jiang Youtao's books were basically textbooks for various grades, and Fu Shaohua was quite interested in reading them.
After dinner in the evening, Fu Shaohua left reluctantly before it got dark.
"I will write you a letter when I get back, and please reply to me when you receive it." Fu Shaohua reminded her again and again.
"Okay." Jiang Youtao promised again and again, and Fu Shaohua left with peace of mind.
As Fu Shaohua walked, he was thinking about whether he could be transferred back to the county. It was not easy for him to find a partner, and Fu Shaohua would think about her even if he didn't see her for a day.
After Jiang Youtao returned to the house, she took out the painting that Fu Shaohua had given her, measured its size, and went to the photo studio.
The photo studio also sells picture frames. The wooden frames are made very roughly, but they have glass surfaces, which can protect the paintings to a great extent.
After returning, Jiang Youtao carefully placed the painting in the photo studio as the studio master had instructed, and then hammered a nail into the wall of the bedroom and mounted it.
Xu Manqiu was helping her the whole time, and after the painting was put up, Gu Nianwei also came over to admire it.
She also knew that Fu Shaohua had given Jiang Youtao a painting.
Gu Nianwei's artistic accomplishment is better than Jiang Youtao's: "It's a really good painting."
Paintings can also express emotions. When Fu Shaohua painted this picture, he was full of love for the people and scenery in the painting. Therefore, people who understand this painting will feel full of love when they look at it.
"That's right, don't you see who painted it?" Jiang Youtao raised her chin proudly. If someone didn't know, they would think that she painted this picture.
Gu Nianwei already understood her personality thoroughly. She was the kind of person who would shine with a little sunshine.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, someone knocked on Jiang Youtao's door. She got up and opened it. It was Xu Dazui's eldest son Liu Yaodong. "Jiang Zhiqing, my father asked me to come to you to get something."
Like Xu Dazui and the others, Liu Yaodong still calls Jiang Youtao by her old name.
"Brother Liu, wait a minute. I'll go back to my room and put on some clothes and then we'll go over." There were many people in the family compound, so Jiang Youtao decided that all the future shipments would be made in the small compound.
Xu Manqiu was very happy to see Liu Yaodong, so she followed Jiang Youtao.
"Brother Liu, how was your trip?" Jiang Youtao asked impatiently after coming out of the house.
Speaking of this, Liu Yaodong could no longer hide his smile: "It's all sold out. We dare not take more. We only take five kilograms at a time. If we go to other villages, it will be almost gone. My younger brother is smart. He had a meal with the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative, so we have to take more goods this time."
After Liu Yaodong finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Youtao cautiously, afraid that Jiang Youtao would be unhappy.
Jiang Youtao was very happy: "Take it. If you want more in the future, I can give you a discount of one or two cents."
Liu Yaodong's eyes lit up: "Jiang Zhiqing, we must sell it well." They have a large family and a lot of centimeters, but centimeters were not worth much last year. At the end of the year, his family only got more than 20 yuan. They sold 20 kilograms of melon seeds, and they could earn seven yuan by just going to other villages without much effort.
The tuition fees for the children at home have all been paid! The pressure at home has been greatly reduced. His mother has been willing to use more oil when cooking recently.
After they left, Gu Nianwei also went out.
She hasn't sold goods on the black market for a long time, but her previous connections are still there. She has to go out and take a look today. She has a lot of things related to this era in her space. They are just there anyway. If the situation is not serious, she will just sell them.
Gu Nianwei went to look for several of her previous friends, all of whom had been hanging around in the black market in Yangping County for years. The people Gu Nianwei was looking for were those who had to take this path because of family difficulties. They were loyal, had good character, and never did anything immoral.
Gu Nianwei hadn't been here for a long time. As soon as she entered the house, she was warmly welcomed by everyone.
After staying at this private shipping point for a while, Gu Nianwei successfully sold a small portion of the goods. She took the money and walked home leisurely.
On the way back, she saw a child selling fish on the roadside. Gu Nianwei took a look and bought the biggest one. On her way home, she ran into an old lady who had just moved into the house opposite the Public Security Bureau. She was carrying a bag of things and walking forward with difficulty. Gu Nianwei helped her.
Old Mrs. Han was carrying a bag of potatoes, which were sent to her by her old friend on the work bus. After the bag was on the bus, she called the store outside and said that she had to give it up. She was old and her health had been getting worse in the past two years. She had to gasp for air after walking a few steps. Carrying so many things was really killing her.
She has taken several breaths since she walked from the station to now.
"Thank you, young lady." Old Mrs. Han thanked Gu Nianwei sincerely.
Gu Nianwei smiled at her and said, "You're welcome. I live across the street from you. It's just a small favor."
Old Mrs. Han liked pretty girls, and her tone of voice was much kinder: "It's fate. My family's surname is Han. What's yours, girl?"
"My last name is Gu, and my name is Gu Nianwei."
"That's a good name. That's a good name. I also have a granddaughter who is about your age. Her name is Han Taorui."
"That's a nice name. I've seen your granddaughter. She's really beautiful." The old and the young started chatting.
When Old Mrs. Han went home, she happened to see her handsome grandson, who was wearing a white shirt, blue pants and a wide-brimmed hat, shaving.
She snorted on the spot: "Why dress up so beautifully? You can't even marry a wife."
Han Yanqing has become accustomed to his grandmother's weird look.
When he was not back, his grandpa would always write some cheesy words to his grandma every time he wrote to her. In the first one or two weeks after he came back, he was the baby of the family, and everything in the family was decided by him.
After two weeks, his status in the family changed. His grandmother was displeased with him no matter what he did. She had something to say about him, even his breathing was wrong.
Han Yanqing said in a cold voice: "Grandma, just think about it, if I dress up nicely, maybe I can pick up a girl one day. If I am sloppy and don't dress up, which girl will be interested in me?"
Old Mrs. Han was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked around him. Han Taorui came out of her room and called her grandma sweetly, and Old Mrs. Han's face changed instantly.
"Grandma's Rui'er, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Grandma will make it for you."
"If Grandma made it, of course I'll eat it." Han Taorui followed Grandma Han to the kitchen, and they were very affectionate. Grandma Han's tone was so gentle that water seemed to drip out of it.
Han Yanqing pretended not to hear. He had long been accustomed to the two faces of Old Lady Han.
Han Yanqing walked out of the house and when he looked up, he happened to meet the eyes of a girl in the opposite yard. After a few seconds, Han Yanqing nodded to the girl in the opposite yard, put on his hat and left.
Jiang Youtao came out of the house biting a piece of beef jerky. She nudged Gu Nianwei's shoulder and said, "What's the matter? Are you interested?"
Gu Nianwei glanced at the tall figure leaving and smiled: "What are you talking about?"
Gu Nianwei just suddenly felt that in this era, the white police uniforms also looked good.
Jiang Youtao glanced in the direction she was looking and happened to meet the eyes of Huo Jingshuang who came in from outside. Jiang Youtao rolled her eyes at her.
Huo Jingshuang was furious. She suppressed her anger and said to Han Yanqing in front of her: "Brother Han, my brother asked you to come to my house for dinner tonight."
Huo Jingshuang looked at Han Yanqing's face, and the anger that Jiang Youtao had just provoked disappeared. She was full of obsession, thinking, he is indeed a man who will become a big boss in the future, his demeanor is really great. In comparison, the beautiful boy yesterday was good-looking, but he lacked the demeanor of a big boss!
Huo Jingshuang thought that if she wanted to marry, she should marry a big man like Han Yanqing, so that she could work less for many years. The beautiful boy yesterday was suitable to be kept by her side and teased when she had nothing to do.
Han Yanqing glanced at her, his face getting even colder: "Tell him I have something to do today, so I won't go. We'll get together next time."
Han Yanqing strode away. Huo Jingshuang looked at his back and stamped her feet.
Jiang Youtao put her arm around Gu Nianwei's shoulders and said, "See? It's attracting a lot of attention."
Gu Nianwei rolled her eyes at Jiang Youtao and said, "You talk as if your Huahua doesn't attract many people. The news that the girl stopped him and asked his name yesterday has spread all over the family compound."
Jiang Youtao looked at Gu Nianwei and let out a meaningful sigh.
There's nothing wrong with this, why are you still protecting it?
