Chapter 043 Shame

Taohua responded and went out to pick up firewood. Sun Lijuan stepped into the yard, and Dajun happened to be standing at the door of the house, so he politely let her in.

Liu Qiaoxian also came out of the back room at this time, saw Li Juan and asked: "Juan'er, why is it so early? Is something wrong?"

Lijuan smiled and replied: "Auntie, I have something to ask Taohua for help. Come and ask Taohua if she is free today? If she has nothing to do, I want her to accompany me to watch the melon garden for a long time."

When Da Jun heard this, he jumped in and said, "Last night she said she was going to wash clothes and bedding today. Anyway, I have a lot of things that should be washed. She will come back soon and ask her again."

"Why are you going to see the melon garden?"

"Today my brother is going to send my sister-in-law back to her parents' house to do something. I can go back to the house."

"Mom, don't ask. Even if I have work to do, I have to go and keep company with Sister Lijuan today." Taohua put the firewood in front of the stove, patted the dust on her body with her hands, and said to Lijuan:

"Sister Lijuan, I'll go find you after I have some food."

Lijuan was naturally happy: "Okay, okay. My brother has been looking at the melon garden since last night. When you finish eating, we will go and change him."

Taohua happily agreed: "Okay, I will definitely go."

After Lijuan left, Taohua immediately lit a fire and started cooking. Dajun asked from the side, "Can you go? With such a large and deep crop field, even men, let alone you two women, would feel intimidated."

"What can happen in broad daylight?" Taohua explained while adding firewood to the kitchen: "Her brother has something to do today, and her parents can't go. She has to look at this melon garden, and she's afraid of being harmed.

, what to do? It can only be done by her

How could she, a woman, not be afraid when people go? She asked me for help because she really had no choice. Two people are much better than one. Besides, who would go if I didn't? Who is not busy in autumn?

If she doesn’t call me, who can she call?”

"Yes, Taohua is right. Since Lijuan asked for help, no matter how busy we are to help her, I say we must go." Aunt Liu supported Taohua's opinion, but then she thought about it and asked Dajun

: "But what are you doing at home? If you have nothing to do, why don't you go help look after the melon garden? I think it's enough for you to go alone."

When Dajun heard what his mother said, he hurriedly took a peek at Taohua, but saw that Taohua lowered his head to add fuel to the fire and showed no reaction. He hesitated and tentatively said, "I, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go? I'm here to call for Taohua."

"

"Just go, what's wrong?" Taohua raised her head and glanced at Dajun, and said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, let Dajun light a fire for you. I picked up all the clothes that should be washed and soaked them in the basin.

I then took off Dajun's bedding and soaked it in the basin. After breakfast, Dajun and I went to the melon garden together. When we came back at noon, I washed them out and dried them in the afternoon."

Liu Qiaoxian responded: "Okay then, you go and clean up. You go and light the fire for the army."

Da Jun heard his mother's instructions and sat in front of the stove to add firewood and light the fire. Although he had to do some work, he finally felt at ease because Tao Hua had just said that she wanted to go to the melon garden with him, and the temporary suspicion was lifted, so as not to

Taohua was suspicious of herself.

The crops in the fields have entered the "white dew" season. Various crops turn from green to yellow and gradually mature, which means that the time for a bumper harvest has arrived.

As the saying goes: When the sky comes and the dew comes, the scenery is beautiful, and every household is busy with harvest.

Farmers have worked hard for a year and are looking forward to a good harvest in the autumn.

Dajun, Taohua, and Lijuan happily walked on the path leading to the melon garden. Along the way, they talked, laughed, pointed, and admired the crops that were about to be harvested on both sides of the path.

The melon garden of Lijuan's family is not too far from the village. It only took about a short walk to get there. Passing through a corn field, I saw a shack built to watch the melon garden at a glance.

This shack looks more like a straw house, except that the front side is movable. During the day, in order to have a wide view and ventilation and brightness, the front door is raised high with wooden sticks, and at night and on windy and rainy days,

, and put it down again to avoid being soaked by wind, rain and dew.

Lijuan's brother Sun Liqiang saw Lijuan and Taohua from a distance. He must have guessed that they were here to replace him, so he got off the bed in the shack, bent down and got out of the shack. He took a look

The three men reluctantly grinned at them as a way of saying hello.

Lijuan knew why her brother had such an attitude towards Dajun. It was because of the past story between her and Dajun. She explained to her brother in a subtle way: "I was scared alone in the garden, so I asked Taohua and the others to be my companions."

Son, brother, please go home for dinner as soon as possible, my sister-in-law may be impatient for the wait."

In Lijuan's explanation to her brother, she intentionally avoided the name Dajun and deliberately included and replaced it with "them" in order to alleviate her brother's unhappiness and the awkwardness between them.

Although Sun Liqiang seemed a little unhappy, for the sake of his face, he didn't say much. He just responded coldly: "Yes, I understand." Without saying another word, he walked towards the village with long strides.

.

Lijuan walked into the shack and tidied the things on the bed. She called to Peach Blossom: "Peach Blossom, come in, sit on the bed, and let's pick a watermelon to eat first."

Lijuan came out of the shack, bent down and picked a watermelon from the melon, turned it over and put it on the small table under the shack. Peach Blossom felt very strange when she saw it, and she praised: "Lijuan has such a

If you know how to pick melons, how can you tell if the melon is ripe?"

Upon hearing this, Dajun burst out laughing and answered first, "All the melons these days are just like you."

Taohua knew that Dajun was making fun of her again, but she still asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? How can you be the same as me?"

Dajun opened his mouth and laughed non-stop: "Hahaha, they are all fools."

Dajun's answer made Lijuan couldn't help but laugh. She quickly explained to Taohua: "In this season, the melons are about to be harvested. At this time, the big and small melons will mature naturally. You can pick any one at will."

All can be eaten.”

"Oh, so that's it?" Taohua suddenly realized, but how could she tolerate and forgive Dajun's teasing and humiliation just now? So she scolded Dajun: "You bastard, don't I understand?

You are the fool!"

Lijuan had already cut the melon into pieces and handed a piece to Taohua. She smiled and said, "Haha, do you two usually joke like this? Come on, Taohua eats a piece of watermelon to moisten his throat before scolding him. Hehehe."

"

Taohua took the watermelon and took a bite. She said: "What can I do? I have such a mischievous thing on the stall. I laugh and laugh all day without any formality. Sometimes it can really piss me off. Sister Lijuan, please teach me how to cure it."

Where is he?"

Lijuan chuckled, raised her head and glanced sideways at Jun, and said casually: "He, there is nothing anyone can do to him. The bones he was born with will grow the flesh. He has been like this since he was a child..."

When Lijuan said the last sentence casually, she was vaguely aware of some gaffe, and her face suddenly turned rosy. She said to herself: How can she mention her childhood in front of Taohua? So she couldn't help but glance at Dajun and

Peach blossom.

At this time, Taohua was staring at her. When she heard that the lower rhyme was gone, Taohua urged again: "Sister Lijuan, just tell me what kind of bad guy he was when he was a child."

"I don't know, then you have to ask my aunt."

"Haven't you two been playing together since you were young? How could you not know? Tell me what you are afraid of?"

Taohua's question made Lijuan feel very embarrassed. She asked herself: Did Taohua know something about me and Dajun? Was she deliberately leading me to tell me what she wanted to know? If that was the case, she would

I have fallen into a trap, this peach blossom is too scheming.

Thinking of this, Lijuan couldn't help but feel startled. She felt a cold wave coming over her and suddenly got goosebumps all over her body.

Her face was feverish, her color was crimson, her mouth was filled with red lips, and her eyes were drooped. She didn't dare to look at the peach blossoms, because after all, she and Da Jun were now a legal couple married by a bright matchmaker.

In fact, Lijuan thought too much. She said it accidentally, and Taohua also asked questions accidentally. The two "accidentally" bumped into each other, and it seemed that they were deliberately designed to create a dirty mess.

Trap. What a huge injustice!

However, many things in the world are like this. The more evasive you are, the more suspicion and attention you arouse. When Taohua saw her shy look, she already understood something in her heart. She secretly said with joy: Hum, let me guess right.

?I already knew all your fancy things, so stop being secretive about them.

Thinking of this, Taohua laughed happily for a moment: "Sister Lijuan, what don't I know? I just want to hear about the bad things he did when he was young and naughty."

Hearing this, Lijuan was shocked again. She raised her head and glanced at the army. The moment she looked at the army, she was spotted by Taohua. Taohua smiled and said, "You can say whatever you want."

Well, let’s see what he does?”

Lijuan smiled bitterly and quickly explained: "I'm afraid that he will be unhappy if I tell him. If there is something unspeakable, I'm afraid you both will be angry. If this happens, I will be miserable and end up falling behind.

Not a human being."

Dajun, who had been listening to their conversation, said to Lijuan: "Just tell her, you can say whatever you want. Even the things we did when we were two children, she already knows everything. I'm sorry, Sister Lijuan."

, I told her, I don’t want to hide it from her, and there is no need to hide it from her anymore, I don’t want to deceive her anymore.”

Da Jun's words immediately made Lijuan feel ashamed. She flushed and shouted at Da Jun: "How could you do this? You are afraid that others won't know, right? Isn't it enough to have my sister-in-law? Think about it.

Where will this put me? Do you know?"

Lijuan almost became angry with embarrassment. Dajun wanted to step forward to explain, but was stopped by Taohua. She smiled and said to Lijuan: "Sister Lijuan, don't be angry. What's the point? I don't care, but you are so angry."

Are you in a hurry? In fact, regarding the things about you two, it was sister-in-law Liqiang’s sarcastic remarks that first aroused my suspicion. Later, I listened to some of her

That’s why I forced Dajun to tell me the truth. Children are not sensible, and no matter what they have done, they don’t make a fuss. Don’t worry, I won’t care. Sister Lijuan, I said

They are all true words from the bottom of my heart. There is no need to worry about the past things, so as not to affect the relationship between our sisters. Don’t you think so?"
