Taozhi looked at Xie Yan who was talking, and couldn't help but snort, Xie Yan still looked serious.
"Why does it smell like vinegar?" Taozhi looked around: "Whose vinegar jar was knocked over?"
She said that she was still looking in his room, looking around.
Xie Yan was puzzled when he heard this: "Does it smell of vinegar?"
He looked around: "Is there no jealousy at home?"
He didn't like that sour thing.
Taozhi said "Oh—", looked at the person on the bed, walked in front of him and bent over to hold his face: "I said why the smell of vinegar, it turns out that Xie Xiaoyan, the old vinegar jar, turned over?"
Xie Yan immediately understood, he blinked his eyes and smiled with neat white teeth. He was held by her soft little hands and his eyes narrowed with a smile.
Xie Yan's tone was a little helpless and spoiled: "Xia Taozhi, are you kidding me?"
Taozhi looked at him and said, "I have to give you enough sense of security. Then Su Yebai is not as good as the little white dog from Ergou's family. I don't even want to give him a second look."
She patted Xie Yan's head: "I still like this Xie Xiaoyan in front of me the most."
Xie Yan's heart softened. He never thought that one day he would hear this from Xia Taozhi's mouth.
He narrowed his eyes: "Besides, Grandpa likes to hear it."
Taozhi patted his face: "Don't say good things again, I went to the village office, you take care of yourself."
Xie Yan is a strong and domineering person. Even if one of his legs is broken, he still has to go to the toilet by himself and doesn't let himself help at all—
Even when she said she wanted to wipe his legs, he didn't agree.
Always say something: "I just broke a leg, but I'm not paralyzed. I will do it myself."
"Who said that my hand can't be wet? Those doctors don't know what my father has experienced! The scars on my hands are a symbol of men."
In short, very helpless.
Taozhi can only leave him alone, but his injury does heal quickly.
Xie Yan leaned on the pillow and looked out the window: "Got it! Let's go quickly, Chen Wangshan will talk again in a while."
Taozhi took the bowl, walked to the door, turned to look at him: "I'm really gone."
Xie Yan snorted coldly: "Women are trouble."
Taozhi's voice has gone far: "I'm really gone, Xie Yan."
Xie Yan stretched his neck and looked at the back of her who had left. He leaned on the pillow and looked at his leg: "When you say you, don't you just get a few sticks? It's really useless!"
Otherwise, he can go to Old Man Xia to see the date and get married!
He crossed his arms around his chest and looked out the window. There was no more figure of the man, only the goose was playing in the yard.
Xie Yan suddenly found the meaning of life, that is, waiting for Xia Taozhi to come back...
When Taozhi returned to the village office, Chen Zhishu was very happy, because education is a major event that benefits the country and the people. There is a primary school in the village, and many children can go to school.
When he saw her coming back, he smiled and said to her: "By the way, Taozhi, the Women's Federation will have a meeting tomorrow, you can ask Lao Liu to take you there in the morning."
"Okay." Taozhi sat in the seat, she took out the book and read it.
She has read and understood the Women's Federation's book. Now that she has spare time, she will study here.
If she doesn't understand, she can also ask Chen Zhishu.
Chen Zhishu is quite good. He has a high school diploma and worked as an assistant to the secretary in the county.
Taozhi read the book until the afternoon, and when it was time for dinner, she ordered another meal to go to Xie Yan.
Of course, she didn't need to deduct work points for her own share, but for Xie Yan's part, she exchanged the work points for her own work.
Xie Yan's own work points are not many, and that guy doesn't work much.
"Taozhi, are you giving Xie Yan food again?" She came out with a bowl, and several aunties were sitting at the door to eat.
Seeing that they were all normal people, Taozhi replied, "Well, his leg is broken, which is inconvenient."
Aunt Liu asked bluntly, "Where are you and Xie Yan?"
"Yeah." Taozhi did not refute, but directly admitted.
Several people nodded, smiled and said nothing.
Taozhi has also left with a meal.
They discussed: "This peach branch is amazing."
"Yes, they have become women's representatives in our village."
"Isn't it true, why did she like Xie Yan?"
"I don't know, then Xie Yan seems to be able to beat people, and the fierce ones will kill you."
"We can't say anything, just let them be."
…
Taozhi came to Xie Yan's house and saw that he was sitting in the yard feeding the geese, holding a handful of grass in his hand and throwing it on the ground.
You can see that this guy is really bored-
She put down the bowl and brought it to the small table: "After dinner, Mr. Xie."
Xie Yan sat up straight: "It's so boring to just lie here every day."
Taozhi glanced at him and put the bowl in front of him: "Take care of your injury, and you will be alive and kicking in a few days."
Xie Yan looked at her: "but when I see you, I feel that life becomes interesting again."
Taozhi was stunned, Xie Yan's words were not love words at all, but he thought so and said so.
She gave him the only piece of meat in her bowl: "Eat it quickly, and get well soon."
"Can't you wait to marry me too?" Xie Yan had a wise smile on his face.
Taozhi nodded: "Yes, it was discovered by the clever Xie Yan."
Xie Yan happily bowed his head to cook, and he thought the food she brought back was so delicious.
Taozhi watched his movements, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Next to it is the play of the big geese, and the two are sitting in the small yard and eating.
The years are quiet.
In the evening, Taozhi and Xie Yan continued to study. She taught him everything she knew and forced him to follow.
Xie Yan doesn't like to study, but if he doesn't study, Taozhi will go back to sleep.
So he followed suit. During this period of time, he wrote his name thousands of times, and he can write it very well.
When showing her, he had a sense of accomplishment, waiting for her compliments.
Taozhi took out a candy from his pocket: "A reward for you!"
Xie Yan was in a good mood, and put it in her pocket. After she left, she secretly put it into a jar. He has kept a lot of them. The candy wrappers are of various colors and look good in the jar.
When his legs are healed, he's going to town to get some glass jars.
Although it is difficult, there is a way.
Just like a sewing machine that is hard to buy in the city, you can easily buy it yourself.
Taozhi didn't go back until ten o'clock. Xie Yanduo wanted to keep her sleeping at home, but there was only one bed in his house...
He'd rather sleep on the floor by himself...
But it's impossible, after all, she's a little girl, so what's the matter with sleeping at home.
He wanted to send her off in the middle of the night, but this leg couldn't get out of the courtyard.
He was so angry that he decided to get better quickly.
"I'm back, hurry up to sleep." Taozhi closed his courtyard door and waved to him.
Xie Yan felt so powerless, he couldn't even protect her.
Taozhi seemed to sense his depression: "I carry this, and no one can approach me."
Xie Yan looked at the stick in her hand and said nothing.
Taozhi winked at him: "Let's go."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the village. The brigade's office was next to the rice field, about 800 meters away from Xie Yan's house.
Taozhi took out a small flashlight from the space, and no one was wandering outside in the middle of the night.
Sure enough, along the way, there was no one, only the barking of dogs.
Back in her room, she did not sleep, but took out a few books and started to read.
Her little room is very small, but she planted a few small flowers out of broken pots, which added a bit of life to the room.
Her small lamp has been lit for a long time this night.
Early in the morning, she got up and cleaned up, and told Chen Zhishu that if she didn't come back, he would use her work points to give Xie Yan two bowls of rice, after Chen Zhishu agreed.
She went to Uncle Liu, who drove her to the city in the commune's dilapidated tractor.
"Young Master Su who came yesterday, that car is really nice."
Uncle Liu's eyes were full of envy: "When can I touch that kind of car."
He was driving a tractor and could not wait to start racing too.
Taozhi supported his head: "There will be such a day."
Uncle Liu's face was full of smiles: "The tractor in our commune is a little bad. My old friend, it's also getting old."
"But tinker, I plow the road better than that car."
There was a smile on Taozhi's face, and she was also curious about what the future would hold.
She knew from the books refreshed in the space that the afterlife is really beautiful.
When I got to the city, the tractor really broke down. Uncle Liu went to fix it, and she joined the Women's Federation.
There is a women's conference today, and many people came.
Like everyone else, she stood at the door of the office waiting for the meeting.
But he was called by a little assistant: "Comrade Xia Taozhi, Director Wu asked you to come to the office."
Many comrades looked at him, Taozhi nodded slightly, and then followed the little assistant.
The little assistant is a little girl, about her age, wearing a "really good" dress, which is really rare at this time.
It should be the material just served in the county seat.
The little assistant said mysteriously: "Sister Taozhi, Director Wu is looking for you, it must be because of your mother's business, she brought your sister-in-law here yesterday to complain, saying that you burned the house at home and wanted to burn it to death. she."
"She cried at the door for a long time and didn't leave. Finally, Director Wu agreed to deal with it, and she left."
"So you have to be mentally prepared."
When Taozhi heard this, she looked at the little assistant and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." She didn't say any more.
When Taozhi arrived at the office, the assistant left, Taozhi knocked on the door, and Wu Xiumei's voice came from inside: "Come in."
Taozhi pushed open the door and went in, and saw Wu Xiumei sorting out the documents. She saw Taozhi with a cold expression on her face: "Do you know what I'm looking for from you?"
Taozhi has already thought about it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't act as the women's representative, anyway, the house will be burnt down.
And more than once!
She is not afraid of Luo Cuilian's targeting, she is just unbalanced.
Taozhi nodded slightly: "I know."
Wu Xiumei pointed to the stool next to her: "Sit."
Taozhi was sitting on the stool, and Wu Xiumei said, "You said, what's going on?"
Taozhi pursed her lips: "She wanted to burn me to death and found someone to break my partner's leg."
Wu Xiumei was surprised when she heard the words, and then nodded: "I understand, you go down, there is a meeting."
Taozhi stood up: "Aren't you going to fire me?"
There was a smile on Wu Xiumei's indifferent face: "Why do you say that?"
Taozhi looked at her and didn't speak, but she also stood up and said indifferently, "Taozhi, our women have been like straw from ancient times to the present. When they become grains of rice, they are discarded."
"You owe the world a child when you were born, so you have to have children, you have to get married! Husband and teach children! It's not your turn to study, and it's not your turn to have good policies."
When she spoke, there was a faint smile on her face: "Why?"
"Because we ourselves look down on ourselves! It's usually women who make trouble for women. If you don't have children, there are more women who scold you than men who scold you!"
"So, I have to stand up and believe that women can hold up half the sky. I admire your courage to fight back, but I don't support your approach, but I can't find a better way to dissipate the anger in my heart, so I feel ,you're not wrong."
She said with a serious tone: "What I want to do is to allow more women to stand up and protect their rights, and to find a group of people who are allied for myself."
"I don't have the heart of a bodhisattva, but I want to fight for my own interests. I don't know if you can understand."
Her eyes fell on Taozhi: "You're not for anyone, you're just for yourself!"
"Your mother, I chatted with her yesterday and found that she was very bad to you, and her words were full of insults. I didn't think she was worthy of respect, so I listened to you and said the reason. Now that I have figured out the situation, of course not Blame you."
Wu Xiumei patted her on the shoulder: "You are a smart girl, and you still have a long way to go in life. I hope you can understand that everything you do is for yourself."
"Come on, let's go to the meeting."
She took the document and walked out first.
Taozhi walks behind her, she will do it for herself, but she also has her own thoughts.
Wu Xiumei's idea came from her experience, and she, unlike her, will fight for her rights and interests, but she has no interest in being a bodhisattva.
Taozhi followed into the venue, sitting on a stool and listening to Wu Xiumei speak.
"The above gave us the task. Everyone should find a place in the open and bright place in the village and write some propaganda slogans. The focus is on hard work, self-improvement, women can hold up half the sky, and so on."
"Memorize the manual given to you and teach the women in the village."
…
Taozhi took a note and wrote down what she said. It was noon after the meeting. She couldn't go back to deliver food to Xie Yan. Chen Zhishu should be able to help.
She ate at the Women's Federation. The cafeteria here is much better than in the countryside, and there are two pieces of meat.
Even in the afternoon, we have to continue the meeting, which is all kinds of content.
Taozhi also met two people, both older than her, and both were married.
They only know a little word, and they are also studying hard.
One is called He Huaying and the other is called Shi Xiaozhen. Shi Xiaozhen still came to the class with her young son on her back.
Her little son fell asleep on her back, and the little guy was cute and obedient.
He Huaying sat on the steps, her face full of accusations: "Don't talk about it, those wives in our village are going to die fiercely."
