Chapter 015 Awkward Lunch

Today's weather is exceptionally clear, the sun is shining brightly, white clouds are passing by in a hurry; the cool autumn wind is urging the crops to mature faster, the sorghum in the field is gradually dyed with layers of red, and the tall branches on the roadside are

I know, they are screaming so hoarse, sad, and sad at this moment.

After breakfast, Taohua and Liu Haitao rode their bicycles at the same time and were on their way to the county town. They were silent one after the other.

Just when Taohua went out with the cart, her mother-in-law knew that Taohua would definitely not tell Naughty, so as soon as she left, Aunt Liu immediately went to call Liu Haitao: "Naughty, is it time to eat? Taohua left on a bicycle, hurry up and chase her.

, otherwise I won’t worry about her going to the county alone.”

"Okay, Auntie, I'll leave right away." After Liu Haitao finished pedaling his bicycle a few times, he caught up with Taohua as soon as he left the village.

On the way to the county seat, people and cars were passing by, some of whom I knew, and some of whom I had never met before.

Taohua didn't need to look back, she had long noticed that Liu Haitao was following her, but she didn't want him to follow too close, and she didn't want to be seen by people she knew, especially by people from the same village, to avoid any rumors.

So she rode very fast, always trying to keep a greater distance from Liu Haitao.

Liu Haitao seemed to understand the meaning of peach blossoms, so he drove forward slowly and unhurriedly.

When she arrived at the entrance of the county hospital, Taohua looked around and found no one she knew, so she got out of the car and stopped.

When Liu Haitao arrived, Taohua said with a face: "Don't tell Dajun about my father's injury yet. He is a filial son. He should not rush to death if he knows that his father is injured."

Liu Haitao asked: "Won't he know sooner or later?"

"When we get home, ask my mother to tell him slowly. Maybe it will be better."

"Okay, I understand." Liu Haitao responded.

Taohua warned again: "Don't talk too much after you enter the ward. You can pack your things and leave first. I will take the army with me."

"Okay, I understand." Liu Haitao agreed again: "Otherwise, you don't have to save the car and save a few cents. I'm watching from the outside. You go in first. I won't go in again when you call me.

It’s not too late, okay?”

Taohua hesitated and said, "Forget it, let's save the car and go in together."

When they were walking to the corridor door of the ward, Taohua suddenly stopped and turned to Liu Haitao and asked: "I have been holding back something that I want to ask you. I was on my way back to my parents' home half an hour ago, and the man who was following me followed me.

Is it you? What do you want to do?"

Liu Haitao was stunned by Taohua's sudden question: "This... this... you are..."

"What is it? I asked you if it is you."

"Yes, but..."

"But what? But you didn't have time to make a move, right?"

"No, it was my aunt who asked me to go. She felt that she was worried about you walking alone in the deep crop road, so she asked me to see you off, but I felt that the matter of Yejie had not been explained clearly yet.

, I was afraid that you would misunderstand again, so I stayed far away from you. I came back when I saw you entering the village. This is true. If you don’t believe me, you can just ask my aunt when you go back."

Of course Taohua believes that this is true. This must be the arrangement of her mother-in-law. Only her mother-in-law can be so meticulous.

She said nothing more, but an indescribable feeling suddenly arose from the bottom of her heart. She didn't know whether it was gratitude or grievance, and crystal tears shone in her eyes.

She stepped into the corridor and quickly came to the door of the ward. She gently wiped away her tears with her sleeves, calmed her expression, and opened the door to enter the ward.

Just in time for the doctors and nurses to check the ward, Dajun had already completed the discharge procedures and was waiting on the hospital bed.

When Dajun saw Taohua and Liu Haitao come in, he jumped up from the bed. He smiled at Liu Haitao and nodded and said, "Naughty brother, are you here? I've delayed you again this time."

"Stop being so verbose, pack your things and leave quickly." Taohua urged.

Dajun asked: "Why haven't you come these two days? What are you busy with at home?"

"I have to do the work at home here, and I have to do the work at my parents' house. Anyway, there is no idle time. Let's talk about it when we get home."

Liu Haitao heard Taohua's perfunctory words towards Dajun. He was afraid that Dajun would ask him questions and it would be difficult to answer him, so he quickly packed Dajun's clothes, tableware and other items for eating, and said: "I'm going out first.

You walk slowly."

Liu Haitao walked away with his things in his arms. Da Jun, accompanied by Tao Hua, slowly walked towards the door of the hospital. Da Jun asked, "I see why Naughty Brother is a little unhappy today?"

"Don't make blind guesses, why is he unhappy? How can he, a big uncle, listen to what we are talking about? It's true."

Taohua knew very well in her heart that Dajun had no way of knowing what happened between her and Liu Haitao. Apart from the two parties involved, her mother-in-law would never reveal even a single word of the truth to her son. Judging from these encounters,

Because the mother-in-law has her own thoughts and plans, she just can't say it clearly. As for the father-in-law's injury, it cannot be hidden, so we can only take it one step at a time.

It was already noon when they returned home, and Aunt Liu had already prepared lunch. She was finally looking forward to her son coming home, and looking at her son's haggard face and thin body, she felt pain in her heart.

And Dajun entered the house happily and asked: "Mom, where is my father?"

"Jun'er, your father is not feeling well. He was lying down in the house and fell asleep. It's nothing serious."

Dajun lifted the door curtain and looked into the room. He saw his father sleeping soundly with the quilt covered him. Without thinking much, he turned around and asked, "What disease does my father have? Has he taken any medicine?"

At this time, Liu Haitao hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Aunt, Dajun, you can eat, I'm going back. The captain arranged for me to hay the livestock for the rest of the day."

"Hey, naughty brother, don't go away. Let's have a meal together this afternoon." Da Jun pulled Liu Haitao to sit at the table: "I've heard it a long time ago. You are the one who helps with the housework. Look.

My illness does not allow me to drink, otherwise I have to have a few drinks with you. How about you drink some wine, and I will accompany you with water instead of wine, okay?"

Liu Haitao hurriedly declined and said: "Dajun's words are too foreign. What do you mean by 'helping'? I was raised by my uncle and aunt since I was a child. Who doesn't know that? If it weren't for my uncle and aunt, where would my naughty child's life be?"

Ah? I won’t drink this wine today. One day your illness will be cured, and we two brothers can have a good drink. Is that possible?" Liu Haitao spoke a little excitedly.

As soon as she mentioned drinking, Taohua remembered the drinking scene that night. Her face suddenly turned red to the roots of her ears. She hurriedly said to Dajun: "What kind of wine should I drink in broad daylight? Eat quickly, they will have to feed the animals in the afternoon."

The grass is gone."

Peach Blossom's neither sour nor sweet tone made Liu Haitao feel uncomfortable. The key was that after she said the word "renjia", even Aunt Liu who was lying on the edge of the pot serving rice heard the mystery. Aunt Liu understood in her heart

, Taohua is still angry with the naughty boy.

Aunt Liu finished serving the rice and said with a smile: "Yes, Naughty, it's not like outsiders are being polite. You guys should eat quickly."

Aunt Liu turned around to enter the house, but Dajun said: "Yes, what does dad eat? I'm going to see dad."

Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "You guys eat together first. I'll see if your father is awake. Can he eat something?"

"I'll go, I haven't said a word to dad yet." Dajun was about to enter the house, but was stopped by Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu glanced at Taohua and sighed and said, "Mom and Taohua planned to tell you after lunch. They always felt that you were just recovering from your illness, but they were afraid that you would be anxious if you found out, so now I dare to tell you the truth."

Dajun heard what his mother said and hurriedly asked: "What happened to my father? I'll go in and have a look."

Da Jun opened the door and entered the back room. At this time, Old Man Liu had woken up. He opened his eyes and saw his son Da Jun coming in. He asked, "Jun'er is back?"

Dajun hurriedly asked: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, I was kicked by a mule yesterday. I'm much better today. I'm fine." Old Man Liu tried his best to hide his pain.

Aunt Liu sighed at the side: "No matter how injured or sick your father and son are, our family will be supported by peach blossoms from now on."

"Auntie, if you have the strength to do anything, just call me and I can do any job."

"I can't stop the trouble... Brother Naughty, I'm a loser. I have to rely on you for everything at home..." Da Jun was a little choked when he spoke.

Taohua urged: "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly. It's getting late. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later."

Aunt Liu suppressed the sadness in her heart and said: "Peach Blossom is right, the days are still long, don't say anything now, hurry up and eat."

The whole family was eating together with their own thoughts, but no one wanted to say anything. All they could hear was the clinking of bowls and chopsticks.
