Reborn Sanitary

Wednesday, November 1993, 12.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Tao packed his schoolbag and looked out the window, frowning slightly, "Xu Tao, let's go, don't look, the elder brother-in-law is waiting at the door."

Zhang Liang came out of the next class, saw the carriage parked at the school gate, stood at the gate of Xu Tao's class and shouted, Xu Tao hurriedly put on a big padded jacket and a padded hat on his head, and ran out with his schoolbag, out of the classroom, Walking fast against the strong wind.

When he came to the gate and saw Wang Guizhu sitting in the carriage, Xu Tao smiled, "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Wang Guizhu showed his white teeth and took the schoolbag in Xu Tao and Zhang Liang's hands with a smile, "This winter solstice, Yan'er sees heavy snow, don't worry about you two, let me greet you, I thought Zuo Liu also came out, just I can pick you up, get in the car quickly, Yan'er is making dumplings, go home quickly, or you should be in a hurry."

Xu Tao and Zhang Liang jumped into the carriage with a smile, and with a snap, Wang Guizhu flicked the whip in mid-air, the carriage moved slowly, the wheels of the carriage creaked and creaked on the snow, Xu Tao buried his face in the Putting himself into his cotton-padded jacket, Wang Guizhu looked back at Xu Tao, and quickly untied the big scarf that Xu Yan had woven around his neck and hung it around Xu Tao's neck. Xu Tao looked up and saw Wang Guizhu smiling, smiled, and wrapped the scarf around his neck.

Xu Tao's action made Wang Guizhu grin, he flicked his horsewhip again, and hurried home. Zhang Liang, who was sitting by the side, nudged Xu Tao with his elbow, "Taozi, elder brother-in-law is so kind to you." .”

Xu Tao smiled and nodded, looking at Wang Guizhu who was sitting in front of him with his neck hunched and driving the carriage, his eyes were full of warmth. After two years of getting along, Xu Yan and Wang Guizhu finally got engaged at the beginning of October this year. Thinking of Xu Yan's blushing face on the day of the engagement Face and Wang Guizhu couldn't close his mouth, Xu Tao had a faint smile on his face.

Since Wang Guizhu came to help build the greenhouse in September of the previous year, Wang Guizhu took over the work of the family without knowing it. Xu Tao slowly backed away without Xu Yan noticing, and let Xu Yan discover the goodness of this simple and honest man. As Xu Tao thought, from not caring at the beginning to seeing all the good things later.

Wang Guizhu is a good man who can be found as long as you observe carefully and feel carefully. He is honest and honest. The way of pampering makes Xu Yan, who lacks emotion, gradually become dependent on Wang Guizhu unconsciously, and then gets real love.

Although a little sour, Xu Tao was very happy. He was happy from the bottom of his heart. The smiles on Xu Yan's face became more and more relaxed, and his expression became more and more relaxed. Amidst the laughter, after the dowry, it was considered a formal engagement, but because of Xu Yan's age, the official wedding certificate would not be available until October next year.

Although the rural areas don't pay attention to whether to get the certificate or not, Xu Yan cares, because of the irresponsible parents, those people who like to gossip in the village before and after the people gossip because of the big shed at home, and they can't say anything else I can only talk about Xu Yan's appearance, nothing more than that Xu Yan will definitely run away like that woman in the future. Although Xu Yan is angry, gossip can't be stopped, Xu Yan can only pretend not to care, Especially in the past two years when the conditions at home have been improved and the food is good, Xu Yan is completely open. The beautiful face, tall and big, and full breasts make people jealous and at the same time bring Xu Yan a lot. Trouble.

When it came time to get engaged, the bride price of 5000 yuan and the three golds offered by the Wang family made the eyes of those who had no money turn red with jealousy. The entire Qianshui Fifth Brigade was a sensation. No one paid so much money to marry a wife, but Wang Guizhu's disability and Xu Yan's beauty made all the jealous people gossip, and they had everything, Xu Yan Although it was uncomfortable, Xu Yan didn't want to explain. Sometimes, the more you talk, the more gossip. You can only be so cold.

Fortunately, Wang Rongfa Qu Dahua didn't care, and Wang Guizhu didn't care either, so Xu Yan cried twice and then got rid of those gossips. The life was lived by herself. Seeing what kind of person Xu Yan is, Xu Yan believes that time will give herself a fair answer, and she will also give those who chew their tongues a big slap in the face.

Since then, Xu Yan didn't care about what others thought, and was serious about being kind to Wang Guizhu and her future parents-in-law. However, Xu Yan's performance after her engagement made Qu Dahua and Wang Rongfa feel that Xu Yan was a good girl, not just other things. Just looking at Xu Yan's love for Wang Guizhu, the couple felt it was worth it. During the engagement, Xu Yan made Wang Guizhu brand new clothes inside and out, knitted sweaters and trousers stitched one by one, padded jackets and trousers with straight stitches, curved Dahua smiled and his eyes disappeared.

Especially after the engagement, all the clothes and trousers Wang Guizhu wore were made by Xu Yan. Due to atrophy, the feet are two sizes smaller than the left foot, so it is difficult to buy or make, but Xu Yan just figured out a way to make a pair of cotton shoes that can't tell the difference between the two feet. It has thick cotton and has been sewn with a layer of fur, and the position of the heel is slightly raised. Even the position of the upper is specially made high, just to protect the injured ankle. When Wang Guizhu took the cotton shoes back At home, Qu Dahua cried when he looked at the cotton shoes. What do parents want to do? Don’t they just want their son to have a caring person who knows the cold and the hot?

Qu Dahua was completely relieved when she saw this pair of shoes. She knew that Xu Yan was really good to her son. Starting with the shoes, Qu Dahua used them every two days for Xu Yan to eat. Although they were not valuable things, they were all a mother’s heart, and Xu Yan would come to trouble even if he was busy. Zhou also went to see the two of them, knitted a sweater for Qu Dahua, and made a cotton coat for Wang Rongfa.

In this way, Qu Dahua treats Xu Yan better, and even Xu Tao is taken care of. The padded jacket and trousers have been made by Qu Dahua early on. The stuffy hands and coats are all bought by Qu Dahua or Or for Shidao, the two are good and the other is good, Xu Yan is more kind to the old man and Wang Guizhu while being grateful, the relationship between you and me becomes more and more harmonious, and through Xu Tao's careful Observing, Xu Tao knew that the old couple of the Wang family really loved Xu Yan, and at the same time he was relieved and secretly thankful for Xu Yan. The past two years were finally worthwhile, and Xu Yan would not get along badly when he entered the house.

And these made Wang Guizhu, who was caught in the middle, so happy that he couldn't find the north. The future daughter-in-law said what she said, never said a word, and rushed to work happily every day, fearing that the daughter-in-law and brother-in-law would be tired. Xu Tao is happy as long as Xu Yan is happy. After doing this, the atmosphere at home is extremely good. Even Zhang Liang and Xiaoga are willing to stay at Xu Tao's house, eating and drinking, and their sister and brother-in-law are willing to entertain. The house is gone, and I stay at Xu Tao's house all day long in the name of studying. The fat aunt said twice, but was stopped by Xu Yan. What did Yu Guihua and Zhang Daming treat their siblings all these years, Xu Yan knew clearly Yes, besides, she also likes Zhang Liang. She is clever and will come to trouble, and she doesn't stay at home for nothing.

"Taozi, did your teacher say when is the holiday?" Zhang Liang angrily bumped into Xu Tao next to him, Xu Tao looked back at Zhang Liang and shook his head, "I didn't say, anyway, I can't have the holiday as early as when I was in elementary school."

Xu Tao's words made Zhang Liang's chubby face twitch together, and he muttered and complained, "What are you doing in junior high school? You see, Xiao Ga and others don't read it anymore, but my mother and eldest sister let us go to school. Look at our village. There are a few in middle school."

Xu Tao touched Zhang Liang, "It's not for your own good. You can do something after learning more knowledge. Besides, you are smart, so don't worry if you don't go to school and hang around at home."

Zhang Liang himself knows that it’s not that he doesn’t like studying, it’s just that sometimes he feels a little envious when he sees his former friends. Zhang Liang and Xu Tao, who are [-] years old this year, went to the middle school next to the brigade together in September. The quality is not good, but it is much stricter than that in elementary school. This makes Zhang Liang, who has been receiving education like herding sheep in elementary school, extremely unaccustomed to it. He often complains that the teacher procrastinates and does not leave school on time.

But Xu Tao continued his invisible person policy. After half a semester, the teachers in charge of the class except the head teacher couldn't call Xu Tao's name. This made Xu Tao very happy. Xu Tao knew what his goal was. I also learn in my own way, but Xu Tao also knows that he is slow to accept things. Although he has learned it before, he has almost forgotten it a long time ago. In that case, it is better to learn slowly like this.

While wandering around, Xu Tao glanced at Wang Guizhu, who was driving the carriage in front of him and was still humming a ditty even though his shoulders were cold, his eyes flashed a little smile, brother-in-law didn’t know why he was so happy this time, Xu Tao shook his head secretly, and didn’t I was going to ask, anyway, since the engagement, my brother-in-law has been smiling every day.

The carriage rattled and ran fast. After more than half an hour, the carriage drove into the village and ran straight home. When it reached the gate, Xu Tao and Zhang Liang jumped off the carriage. Wang Guizhu got off the carriage and led the carriage to the courtyard. Once entering the courtyard, two sheds covering an area of ​​one mu of land standing in the front yard are in the middle of the yard.

Now there are four large sheds in the front yard and backyard of the house, covering a total area of ​​two acres. For these four sheds, Xu Yan specially found the team leader Tang Chaofu, and approved a house next to her own house. Fortunately, the approval of the house is now The management is not strict, as long as the small team leader in the village agrees, the brigade will sign, and because of Wang Guizhu's relationship, the house was quickly approved, and now there are nearly three acres of land in the front and back of my yard, thinking that I will be a soldier in the future , The house at home has not been rebuilt. Anyway, this will be used as a winter planting shed in the future, as long as the house is not cold.

Xu Tao took Zhang Liang and waited for Wang Guizhu to fasten the horse rope, and walked into the house together, opened the door, a gust of heat came in, Xu Tao quickly took off his hat and scarf, Xu Yan's dumplings had been wrapped, just waited for a few days When I came back to cook, I saw Xu Tao, whose eye hair was covered with frost, walked in first, Xu Yan stood up with a smile, and walked to Xu Tao, "How about it, it's freezing."

Xu Tao shook his head, "It's not cold, sister, go and see my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law gave me the scarf, and he is blocking the wind in front, his face is pale from the cold."

Xu Yan hurriedly turned to look for Wang Guizhu, and when she saw Wang Guizhu who came in, Xu Yan hurried to Wang Guizhu's side and looked him up and down, "Why didn't you bring the dog fur coat with you, look at you, what if you get frozen? Does your leg hurt?" Xu Yan said reproachfully, squatting down to look at Wang Guizhu's right leg.

Wang Guizhu quickly pulled Xu Yan up, "It's okay, you forgot, you made me a leather ankle cover, and I put it on when I left." After speaking, he pulled up his trouser leg for Xu Yan to see, Xu Yan He glared at Wang Guizhu, "That won't work either. If you're freezing, you won't be able to sleep in pain at night. Don't think I don't know why you burned firewood endlessly in the middle of the night these two times."

Wang Guizhu smiled and nodded quickly, "Okay, I will definitely pay attention in the future." Xu Yan smiled when he heard Wang Guizhu's assurance, and Xu Yan's smile made the corners of Wang Guizhu's mouth wider, Zhang Liang winked and poked at the side Looking at Xu Tao, Xu Tao looked at Wang Guizhu nodding with a smile on his face, and shook his head in his heart, this brother-in-law is really obedient in front of his sister.

Seeing the smiles of the two boys in a blink of an eye, Xu Yan blushed a little, retracted the hand held by Wang Guizhu, walked to Zhang Liang and Xu Tao, and patted each of their foreheads, "Hurry up and pack up and eat."

Zhang Liang laughed and ran to the basin to wash his hands. Wang Guizhu was about to take the bowl and chopsticks, but Xu Yan stared back. Wang Guizhu withdrew his hand, laughed twice, turned around and entered the room, Wang Guizhu's behavior made Xu Tao hehe Laughed, Xu Yan also found it funny, and said many times, men should not hang around the stove, although Xu Yan knew that Wang Guizhu loved her, but Xu Yan didn't want others to see it and gossip, saying that her masters are always Go around the pan.

After washing their hands, several people sat at the kang table and waited. Xu Yan brought the large dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut oil to the table. The soy sauce, vinegar, and mashed garlic were all placed on the table, and the three of them were invited to eat. Four small pots of large dumplings made Xu Tao Zhang Liang was sweating from eating, one bowl per person, and none of the more than 200 palm-sized dumplings was left, which made Xu Yan very happy. What Xu Yan was most happy about was that Xu Tao could eat and drink.

After clearing the table, Xu Yan sat on the edge of the Kang and drank the boiled water that Wang Guizhu had given her to cool down. She looked at Xu Tao and frowned slightly. She suddenly remembered that old lady Wu in the backyard said that drinking milk can grow taller. Xu Yan turned her head and looked at Sitting next to him, Wang Guizhu said, "Erzhu, do you know which of the brigades around us has cows?"

Although Wang Guizhu didn't know why Xu Yan wanted to ask this question, he still thought about it carefully, and after a long time he looked at Xu Yan with some uncertainty, "I remember my uncle's rocket team was raised by someone last year, but I don't know this year ,what is wrong?"

Xu Yan pointed to Xu Tao, "You see Xiaotao is 1.5 years old, but he is only about [-] meters tall. The old lady Wu in the backyard said that the girls in her city drink milk every day, and they can grow up if they drink it. Well, I was thinking that if I could buy some and freeze them into ice cubes, I would cook some for Xiaotao every morning and see if I could grow some."

Xu Yan's words made Xu Tao, who was sitting across from him, rub his nose helplessly. This didn't seem to be very effective. Xu Tao used to be the tallest at 1.7 meters. When he left as a soldier, he was only 1.6 meters six. If it wasn’t for the soldier’s eating well and exercising, he might not even be 1.6 meters tall. Xu Tao looked at Xu Yan and wanted to say don’t worry about it, but suddenly remembered that Xu Yan is getting married next year, so Xu Yan can also buy some milk. Follow along with some drinks, and your health will definitely improve.

Thinking of Xu Yan's body, Xu Tao's heart sank slightly. Xu Tao clearly remembered that Xu Yan had no children for three years when he entered the house. After seeing the old doctor, he said that he was tired when he was young. But Xu Yan still did a lot of work, especially in the first two years of farming, it was a life-saving job.

Thinking of this, Xu Tao looked at Xu Yan on the opposite side. Although his face was rosy, Xu Tao didn't understand gynecology. He didn't know if Xu Yan had hidden old injuries. Er Gouzi will go out for a walk, you and my brother-in-law will look at the shed, when I come back, you two will rest first, and then I will go and see."

Xu Yan glared at Xu Tao, "Hurry up, why eat so much, if you like it, I will give you a bag next time, and you will be hungry in the future."

Xu Tao smiled and nodded in agreement, pulled Zhang Liang to get dressed and left his compound, walking on the path, Xu Tao walked around their room while thinking, Zhang Liang was shivering to go back, Xu Tao grabbed Zhang Liang's arm and said, "Let's go to your house."

Zhang Liang froze for a moment, "What are you doing?" "I have something to ask Aunt Fat." After Xu Tao finished speaking, he dragged Zhang Liang and ran to Zhang Liang's house.

Xu Tao and Zhang Liang who rushed into Zhang's house startled Yu Guihua, who was resting on the quilt after eating, and sat up straight, "What's the matter, what's the matter? What's the matter?" .

Xu Tao hurriedly stopped Yu Guihua, "It's okay, Auntie, it's okay, I even ate too much for a walk, I'm sure I'll come back when I'm far away."

Xu Tao's explanation made Yu Guihua heave a sigh of relief, and slapped Xu Tao and Zhang Liang one by one, "The black lamp is messing around, this road is full of water poured by various houses, and it is freezing, you two are not afraid of getting stuck. "

Zhang Liang rolled his eyes, sat on the edge of the kang and pointed at Xu Tao, "Mom, Taozi is looking for you, I don't know what's going on, she dragged me and ran away, but I was exhausted." Zhang Liang finished speaking Patting her chubby belly, Yu Guihua glanced sideways at Zhang Liang, "What will Swallow make for you again, look at you fat."

Zhang Liang chuckled twice, "Mom, don't think that I'm fat or thin, Taozi has something to do with you."

Yu Guihua looked at Xu Tao suspiciously, "Tao, what's the matter?"

Xu Tao thought about what to say, raised his head and looked at Yu Guihua, "Auntie, do you know the old Chinese doctor? I want you to take my sister to see a doctor and check her body."

Yu Guihua was stunned by Xu Tao's endless words, she looked at Xu Tao dumbly, and there was only one sentence left in her heart, "Is the swallow sick?" On the ground, I put on my shoes and was about to rush out, but Xu Tao grabbed me, "Auntie, what are you doing?" I want my aunt to find an old doctor to check the whole body, why am I so surprised all of a sudden.

Yu Guihua threw Xu Tao away, "I'll take Yanzi to see a doctor, you two are idiots, don't hurry up and talk when you enter the house, you still have time to talk about the genus." Yu Guihua's roar made Xu Tao understand that his aunt had misunderstood, Xu Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly reached out and grabbed Yu Guihua's arm, "Auntie, my sister is fine, listen to me."

Yu Guihua was confused by Xu Tao's words, she looked at Xu Tao confusedly, "What do you mean? Sometimes you will be sick and sometimes you won't be sick?"

Xu Tao smiled and helped Yu Guihua to sit on the edge of the kang again, "Auntie, I'm thinking that my sister will get married next year, and I want to find an old Chinese doctor to recuperate her body, so that she can take good care of her body before she gets married."

Yu Guihua breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hands nonchalantly, "You're tossing around, who's girl is getting married and still taking care of her body, your sister is not sick, look at her blushing face, by the way, why did you think of this?" After finishing speaking He looked at Xu Tao puzzled.

Xu Tao shook his head and thought for a while, "Auntie, I heard from a classmate at school that his aunt had been married for several years and had no children, and that she was exhausted when she was young. I wondered, wasn't my sister also tired two years ago?" Is it broken, find someone to take a look, if it is really tired, hurry up and recuperate before getting married."

Xu Tao's explanation stunned Yu Guihua for a moment, and she began to think about it carefully. Others didn't know, but Yu Guihua knew how tired Xu Yan was when the two ran away for the first two years when they were farming, and couldn't even leave home. Back home, the small body of the [-]th Five-Year Plan was stunned to plant the land on his shoulders, and his tired hands and feet trembled in the end.

With a "snap", Yu Guihua patted her thigh and looked at Xu Tao, "I'm really looking for someone to look at for your sister, you wait, I'll ask someone to inquire about it, and find a good doctor to check it out, don't Delay in having children after marriage, after this woman gets married, if she doesn't have children, she will be beaten to the bone."

Xu Tao nodded, "I'm just looking for a reason, I'm afraid that when my sister and her sister-in-law have nothing to do, they will stab my sister with this matter." Xu Tao's words made Yu Guihua stare, "Then Zhou Shuhua hasn't calmed down yet?" Xu Tao smiled and said nothing
