Taohua knew that for a little woman with a weak body and no strength to compete with a strong man like Liu Haitao, she was undoubtedly overestimating her abilities. So she had an idea.

, came up with a method of "conquering strength with softness" and wanted to use kind words and words to resolve the current passive and unfavorable situation.

After she thought about it, she smiled slightly, then gently pushed Liu Haitao's arm with her hand, and said, "Since you like me, you should think for me, and you should respect me more and not force me, don't you think?"

Liu Haitao said: "As long as you promise me, I will listen to you in everything from now on."

"Really not?"

"I keep my word."

"Okay then, let me go first. I will tell you when I need you in the future, okay?" Taohua's delaying strategy repeated itself.

Now that Taohua has said this, Liu Haitao is certainly willing to believe that Taohua's words are true. He thinks: If he doesn't agree to her, she will hate him and she won't be able to get along with him in the future. Of course Liu Haitao understands the saying: coercive

The melon is not sweet.

So, when he slowly let go of Tao Hua's hand, he suddenly said: "Okay, I promise you, as long as you are good to me, I will never force you in the future. But now, you have to make me rare.

Is it okay if it’s rare?”

As he spoke, he held Taohua's face with his hands and pressed his lips tightly to hers.

Taohua hesitated and couldn't speak, and kept pushing his shoulders with both hands...

"Hey! The sweet potato is back? Peach blossom!" As soon as Aunt Liu entered the house, she didn't know what happened in the house.

Aunt Liu's sudden cry really startled Taohua and Liu Haitao. Liu Haitao let go of his hand and they quickly separated.

Taohua combed her hair in a hurry, and while wiping her lips, she responded to her mother-in-law's call: "Mom! I'm in the house."

Liu Qiaoxian had just come back from getting vegetables from the garden. As soon as she entered the gate, she saw the sweet potatoes piled up in the yard, and asked loudly: "Hey, Taohua, have you brought back the sweet potatoes that our family received?" Liu Qiaoxian didn't know that Liu Haitao was still there.

In the house.

Liu Qiaoxian's loud questions really scared Taohua half to death, but Liu Haitao was very candid, because his aunt knew what happened between him and Taohua.

When Taohua hurriedly broke away from Liu Haitao's embrace, she hurriedly combed her hair, wiped her lips and walked out of the house.

"Mom, are you back?" Taohua always looked a little flustered, and her eyes unnaturally avoided her mother-in-law's eyes.

She reached out to take the dish from her mother-in-law's hand, and then she concealed it by saying, "Brother Naughty just brought back our sweet potatoes. I poured him a bowl of water, and he is drinking it in the house."

Liu Haitao came out of the room, grinned at Aunt Liu, and followed Taohua's words and explained: "Auntie is back? Isn't that right? I brought your share back first. I just drank a bowl of water. I hurried to pull mine

As for the share, the army is still watching from the ground."

Their explanations and cover-ups were unnecessary. With Liu Qiaoxian's shrewdness and eyesight, couldn't he see that they were so reserved, stammering, and unnatural when they spoke, that they were really full of loopholes, and they didn't bring it upon themselves.

However, what exactly did the two of them do in the room? Liu Qiaoxian didn't know very well, but he was vaguely aware that Taohua and Liu Haitao's speech and behavior today were a little unusual.

Judging from the situation, are they two in the house... Hey, it's broad daylight, just a random thought, this is Liu Qiaoxian's hurried thought in his mind.

Aunt Liu didn't say anything. She smiled and entered the house. She opened the door curtain, glanced at her husband, and muttered: "This old thing hasn't woken up yet. It's almost noon and he's still asleep."

"Why are you yelling? I woke up early. I squinted my eyes for a while and listened to the box playing." Liu Laocun replied to Liu Qiaoxian in the outer room: "You came back just in time. Come in and raise my legs again."

A little bit, my legs were stretched so much that they... became numb."

Don't mind, the "play box" Liu Laocun mentioned was actually a radio. Liu Qiaoxian was afraid that his wife would be bored lying on the kang all day, so she specially paid five yuan to have someone bring it back in the city.

Liu Qiaoxian heard her wife calling, and while she agreed, she arranged for Taohua to hold firewood for cooking.

Liu Qiaoxian went into the house and took a pillow to put under his wife's injured leg. Liu Laocun's leg was still wrapped in a bandage for several days. The barefoot doctor Lao Wang came to see him twice and said that the injury was greatly improved.

I bought some anti-inflammatory drugs and asked Liu Laocun to take them twice a day in the morning and evening. As long as the injured area was not inflamed, the injured leg healed quite well. For this reason, the whole family was very relieved and happy that it was finally okay.

Liu Qiaoxian asked his wife in a low voice: "You woke up early? Did you know that you were naughty and brought sweet potatoes back?"

Liu Laocun replied: "I know, it was him who woke me up while pouring the sweet potatoes."

"How long has it been?"

"Maybe... I have three or four cigarettes. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Liu Qiaoxian looked outside the house and saw that Taohua hadn't come back with the firewood, so he asked his wife again: "Didn't you hear what they were saying in the house? What have they been doing for so long?"

"I don't know either. I just heard Naughty say that he has been pulled back by our family first. The next car will be pulled by himself while the army is loading in the field. I also heard Taohua telling him to drink a bowl of water and take a rest.

.”

"What happened next?"

"Later..." Liu Laocun lay on the kang, stared at the beams, thought for a while and said: "The naughty children went into the house and washed their faces. Then I couldn't hear them clearly. I could only hear their mumblings.

Even if they speak in a low voice, I don’t know what they are saying.”

Liu Qiaoxian was about to ask something more, when Taohua held the firewood and placed it beside the stove fire. She asked: "Mom, what are we going to cook for noon? Should I light the fire?"

"You light the fire, stir-fry first and then cook. I'll chop the vegetables." Liu Qiaoxian rolled up his sleeves and prepared to wash the vegetables and cook.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started the fire and washed the vegetables, and they were busy for a while. Aunt Liu put the washed vegetables on the chopping board, and while cutting the shredded vegetables, she said: "Today I will stir-fry more vegetables this afternoon. First, stir-fry a cabbage, and then stir-fry a chopped green onion."

Eggs, and then fry some shredded pork beans, how about that?"

When Taohua saw her mother-in-law looking happy today, she was naturally very excited. It was rare for her to be so happy. But she was very puzzled and didn't understand why her mother-in-law was doing this.

She heard the sizzling sound in the pot, glanced into the pot, and said, "Mom, the pot is hot."

"Put some oil in the pot first. The cabbage is cut. Let's spicy the cabbage first."

Taohua followed her mother-in-law's instructions and was about to pour oil into the pot, but her mother-in-law stopped her and said, "Oh my silly girl, how much oil do you want to pour? Put less oil in."

"--His! Huh!" The oil in the pot was hot, and suddenly there was a huge smoke in the pot, and then the flames started to burn. Taohua was so frightened that she screamed: "Ouch! Mom, look, the oil is on fire."

Liu Qiaoxian held a large handful of chopped cabbage and said, "Don't panic, it's okay, it won't catch fire."

As the cabbage was put into the pot, the flames were extinguished as expected. Taohua then sat down with confidence and continued to light the fire again.

The first spicy cabbage was ready quickly, followed by chopped green onion and eggs.

Liu Qiaoxian mixed the freshly beaten eggs in the bowl, smiled slightly and said to Taohua: "When I came back from the garden to get vegetables, Taohua, guess who I met on the road?"

Taohua asked with a smile: "Looking at my mother being so happy, did she meet some noble person?"

"Look at what this kid said, where did this noble person come from? I met your classmate named Cuihua. This girl has a really strong memory. She recognized me at a glance. My aunt is long, my aunt is short, and I have a really small mouth.

It’s sweet enough. Hey, Taohua, she’s already in her twenties this year, right?”

Taohua thought for a while and replied: "She is twenty-two years old this year, one year older than me."

Liu Qiaoxian asked: "Then do you know if she has a husband?"

Taohua giggled and said, "She's a person who can't do anything high or low, and she still hasn't even found a partner yet."

"Really?" When Aunt Liu heard this, she seemed to become excited all of a sudden. She straightened up and asked Taohua: "Taohua, let me discuss this matter with you. Can we introduce Cuihua to your Naughty Brother? Do you think it's okay?

No?"

"What? Give her... hiss... ouch!" Taohua was adding firewood to the kitchen hall. When she heard Aunt Liu's conversation, she was stunned for a moment. The fire stick in her hand shook, and sparks popped up.

Lao Gao came out and landed on the back of her hand.

When Liu Qiaoxian heard her cry, he turned around and asked, "Is it hot? How about it? Let me take a look."

Taohua covered her hands and said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay, let Mars burn it, it won't be a problem."

Liu Qiaoxian saw that Taohua's hand was fine, so he kneaded the dough on the board again and prepared pancakes.

"Taohua, what I just told you, can you see it through to the end?"

Her mother-in-law's question made Taohua's heart feel as if she had been pricked by a needle. She hesitated and replied: "I think it's OK, it's fine. If they don't have any objections, I think...

…It’s okay.”

Although Taohua was happy to say this, her heart seemed to be suppressed by something. She was so congested that she couldn't breathe. Suddenly, she felt a sour taste welling up in her heart.

Then, I heard Aunt Liu nagging as if to herself: "In my opinion, Cuihua is definitely a girl. Although she is not very good-looking, she is a very smart girl. She is a farmer and has strong physical strength."

Someone who is strong, not crazy or stupid, and can do farm work is fine. Hey, take a closer look at this girl, guess what?"

Taohua stared outside the house and didn't hear what her mother-in-law was talking about.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Liu Qiaoxian turned to look at her. When Aunt Liu saw it, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, peach blossom! It's all on fire! It's on fire!"

"Ouch!" Taohua also jumped up in surprise.

At this time, Liu Qiaoxian quickly poured two ladles of water on the firewood and extinguished the fire. However, the whole room was filled with smoke.

The firewood that had been splashed with water was still "hissing" and emitting green smoke. Taohua hurriedly carried them out of the house. The firewood was choked and coughed for a long time, and her eyes were covered in smoke so that tears streamed down her eyes.
