Yu Guihua stared at Xu Tao, "Did Zhou Shuhua mess up again?" Xu Tao thought for a while, then nodded slowly, "She wants the shed in my yard for my brother-in-law."

If there is anything in the Wang family that makes Xu Tao dissatisfied, it is Wang Guizhu's sister-in-law who wants to get involved in everything. When Xu Yan and Wang Guizhu got engaged, because her mother-in-law gave a gift of 1 yuan and three gold coins, Xu Tao At that time, he said that all the greenhouses at home were given to Xu Yan as a dowry, and Wang Rongfa gave the remaining one to Wang Guizhu. In order to avoid the elders' opinions, Qu Dahua specially gave Zhou Shuhua a gold necklace. Where did Zhou Shuhua hear that a greenhouse can earn more than [-] yuan a winter, and she clamored for a greenhouse every day. Although she was beaten up by Wang Baozhu and stopped, every time Xu Yan went to Wang's house, Zhou Shuhua would definitely follow her. I was afraid that Qu Dahua would secretly give Xu Yan something.

It was better before, but since Zhou Shuhua found out she was pregnant last month, the matter of needing a greenhouse has been brought up again. To be honest, the Xu family is not short of money at all, and it is not short of that money, but whether it is Xu Neither Yan nor Xu Tao looked down on Zhou Shuhua's attitude of taking it for granted. At the beginning, it was agreed that it would be promoted by the whole team in three years. This year is already the last year. Could it be that you can't even stick to the last year?

Fortunately, Wang Baozhu and Wang Guizhu have a good relationship. No one responded to Zhou Shuhua's noisy Wang family. Xu Tao was a little unhappy that the piece of meat in the house ran against Xu Yan inside and out. The good or bad life is made by himself. You Zhou Shuhua wants to make money. The ass is not good to give birth to at first glance.

Although he didn't say it in front of Xu Tao's sister and brother, the words were rushed. There is no impenetrable wall in the countryside. Zhou Shuhua's words reached Xu Yan's ears within half a month. Although Xu Yan was angry, But after all, she is the future sister-in-law, so she didn't say much, but Wang Guizhu directly found Zhou Shuhua. She had only one idea, whether my wife can give birth, has nothing to do with her as a sister-in-law, you just need to take good care of the child in your stomach That's fine, don't meddle in the affairs of other people's families, don't say that the two families have separated, even if they haven't, there is no reason for the elder sister-in-law to take care of the younger uncle's family affairs.

What Wang Guizhu said in front of everyone made Wang Baozhu's face flushed with embarrassment, and he sent Zhou Shuhua back to her natal home that night. Although it stopped temporarily, Xu Tao had to guard against it. For such a person who makes acetic acid, Xu Tao plans that Xu Yan will be old enough to leave home to join the army in the second year after marriage. Xu Tao does not want Xu Yan to be bullied. Married for three years without children as before, good and bad.

Xu Tao's words made Yu Guihua scolded angrily. After she calmed down, Yu Guihua seriously considered what Xu Tao said. As the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, Yu Guihua understood better than Xu Tao and Xu Yan that being married and having no children is a married woman. What an embarrassing thing to say, after thinking about it, Yu Guihua checked the time, stood up, took the cotton jacket and began to dress.

"Auntie, what are you doing?" Xu Tao asked Yu Guihua in confusion.

"Xiaotao, you and Er Gouzi go home first, and my aunt goes out for a while. I'll go find the young daughter-in-law of the old Chen family in the front yard." Yu Guihua opened the curtain and left before Xu Tao could speak. Xu Tao and Zhang Liang looked at each other a little Unable to figure it out, Zhang Liang scratched the back of his head, "Taozi, let's go back." Xu Tao nodded, got off the kang, put on a cotton jacket and followed Zhang Liang to leave Zhang's house.

On January 1994, 1, at eleven o'clock in the morning, Xu Tao checked the paper in his hand, stood up, walked to the podium and handed it to Wang Xiaowei, the head teacher, and left the classroom with his schoolbag. After walking out of the classroom, Xu Tao saw Zhang Liang smiled, walked to Zhang Liang's side and patted, "You came out so early?"

Zhang Liang turned around and grinned, "Why did you come out? The questions are so simple and so slow. I left and went home. I can finally have a vacation, but I'm suffocated. I want to go out to hunt birds. I want to go out with my brother." into town."

Xu Tao smiled and did not speak, carrying his schoolbags, the two of them walked out of the school gate and walked home. After the exam this morning, it is considered an official holiday, and the parent meeting is not held now, but the parent meeting is held the day before school starts, as long as it comes on the 6th Just take homework.

After returning home, Xu Tao opened the door and smelled the smell of traditional Chinese medicine. A smile appeared on his face. He opened the door curtain and saw Wang Guizhu squatting in front of the small stove on the ground boiling medicine. Xu Tao's eyes flashed with joy, "Brother-in-law, my sister's Did you get the medicine back?"

Wang Guizhu looked up and saw Xu Tao standing by the door, showing his white teeth, and nodded with a smile, "Fat aunt brought the medicine this morning, and the doctor told me that Yan'er will be cured after taking this medicine for three months." The coldness in the body is removed."

Xu Tao heaved a sigh of relief. After careful examination by the old Chinese doctor Yu Guihua found for Xu Yan, it was confirmed that Xu Yan was tired and cold, and her body was very cold, which would definitely affect her future childbirth. However, she is young, so take medicine to adjust That’s enough, if you can buy deer placenta cream, after taking it for a while, all problems will be gone. A few people who cared about Xu Yan began to search for deer placenta cream everywhere, and the prepared Chinese medicine has been used until today because of poor medicine. After taking it back, thinking that Xu Yan would no longer be married for three years and have no children as before, the smile on Xu Tao's face became more gentle.

Say hello to Wang Guizhu and go directly into the back room, seeing Xu Yan who was half leaning on the stomped face with an unhappy face, Xu Tao laughed lightly, "Sister, why are you still so unhappy when you stay there?" Xu Tao's words made Xu Yan stare. She glanced at Xu Tao, "You have a lot of things to do. Since the doctor said I was tired, your brother-in-law asked me to stay on the kang every day. I'm going to grow hair."

Xu Tao smiled and sat beside Xu Yan, "Sister, isn't this for your own good? You were really exhausted a few years ago, but now you are not happy to have the opportunity to take care of your body. You want to rest after a few days. You don’t have time for it, besides, you have to plant the fields and help build sheds in the village in the beginning of spring, your busy days are in the future, so you can take a good rest while there are no important things.”

Although Xu Yan knew that Xu Tao and Wang Guizhu were doing it for her own good, she was used to being busy. After taking a break for a while, Xu Yan felt that the joints of Wulv Liushou (who had nothing to do) felt pain in their bones. Xu Tao looked at Xu Yan's face, After thinking about it again, "Sister, it won't be long before the Chinese New Year, you can use this time to make our new clothes, if you have nothing to do, make me a pair of shoes, look at the cotton shoes on my feet. Finger." After Xu Tao finished speaking, he raised his foot to let Xu Yan touch it.

Xu Yan's eyes lit up after rubbing, and she turned around and took out a big dustpan from under the kang cabinet, and took out the shoe samples on it, "Look, the shoe samples that Da Meizi brought me look pretty good, right?" After finishing speaking, he handed it to Xu Tao. Xu Tao took it and looked at it. He raised his head and smiled at Xu Yan. Xu Yan raised her head with a smile and nodded slightly with her chin, "How is it?"

Xu Tao shook his head, "I don't understand." The smile on Xu Yan's face froze all of a sudden, and she snatched the shoe sample from Xu Tao's hand, "Idiot, I can see it clearly." Xu Tao rubbed Rubbing her nose and laughing, Xu Yan flipped through the shoe samples after finishing speaking, "Just in time, I will make clothes and trousers for you and your brother-in-law. I didn't have time before, and I always wear old ones during Chinese New Year. I happen to be free this year. We are brand new inside and out, and we will have a good year." After Xu Yan finished speaking, she began to look through the cabinet again. Xu Tao, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, didn't see clearly. The dark blue thick woolen one, and the pink one with big flowers, Xu Yan shook the black suede fabric away and showed it to Xu Tao, Xu Tao nodded, Xu Yan felt that something was done, and began to gesture happily.

On April 1994, 4, at 10:04 in the morning, Xu Tao opened his eyes, stretched his waist vigorously, got up, put on his blue sportswear and put on thick-soled cloth shoes, walked out of the room, stood at the door and moved slowly. After walking out of the yard, stretching his waist and moving his arms and legs, Xu Tao started to run after feeling a little warmer. Xu Tao knew that he was much weaker in stamina than other comrades in arms because of his size. Since the end of the new year, Xu Tao started with a plan Training myself, just started, Xu Tao just got up early every day and insisted on running. From the first half hour to the current one hour, after two months, Xu Tao felt that he would not feel chest pain when running. Xu Tao believed in these physical training They can all be strengthened through their own exercise. Although I don’t do too much because of my long body, a planned exercise can still reduce the burden after serving in the army.

Adjusting his breathing while running, Xu Tao is not looking for speed but to extend his endurance as much as possible. Xu Tao calculated the time, and there is still a year and a half before the conscription in October next year. By then, Xu Tao believes that through the past two years Exercise, when I walk into the big barracks again, I won't be a laggard. Although I can't become a recruit and pacesetter, I can at least maintain a medium level. Xu Tao knows what his strengths are, and Xu Tao also knows where his shortcomings are.

An hour later, Xu Tao, who was running back along the road, saw the village trail, and slowly slowed down his running pace, getting slower and slower, until he changed to a brisk walk. After two or 10 minutes of brisk walking, Xu Tao He picked up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped his sweat, then walked home with his arms dangling.

When passing by Zhang Liang's house, Xu Tao saw through the big iron gate that the fat aunt was standing in the yard holding a big iron basin, cooing to feed the chickens, "Auntie, wake up."

Yu Guihua looked up and saw Xu Tao with a flushed face showing a smile, "Xiao Tao, did you go out to exercise?" Xu Tao agreed, "Auntie, I'm home." Xu Tao waved at Yu Guihua after speaking, and continued to move forward Walk.

"Xiaotao, Xiaotao, wait a minute." Yu Guihua rushed out with the chicken bowl, Xu Tao stopped and looked back at Yu Guihua, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Yu Guihua opened the door and walked to Xu Tao's side, raised her hand and rubbed Xu Tao's forehead, "Xiao Tao, before you run tomorrow, come to your aunt's house and call Er Gouzi to let him exercise. I can't walk anymore."

A smile flashed across Xu Tao's eyes, "Okay, I'll call him at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, Auntie, just let him get up then." Yu Guihua agreed with a smile, Xu Tao and Yu Guihua said goodbye and returned home, Thinking of Zhang Liang's grimace and complaint when he knew that he would run with him tomorrow, Xu Tao chuckled.

Xu Tao, who left home after breakfast and washing clothes, saw Zhang Liang with his head drooping at the small intersection, and walked over quickly, "Let's go, don't be late."

Zhang Liang raised his head and glared at Xu Tao, "You don't hate people, you don't hate people, you don't go home directly after running, let my mother see, my mother said today, let me run with you tomorrow."

Xu Tao chuckled, and looked Zhang Liang up and down, "Zhang Liang, how much weight do you weigh?" Zhang Liang's face froze, and he stared at the small eyes that were crowded together, "What do you mean?"

"No matter how fat you are, you won't grow any longer. Besides, you have to take a physical education class after you graduate from junior high school, that is, running. If you can't pass it, you won't be able to graduate. At that time, let alone fat aunt, even Uncle Ming will cut you."

"Don't be silly, why didn't I hear that you have to take the running test after graduation." Zhang Liang retorted with disbelief on his face, and Xu Tao swayed forward, "Ask the teacher when you find time, and besides, if you don't take the test, don't be afraid Delay in growing up? Don't be taller than me." After speaking, he deliberately squinted at Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang looked Xu Tao up and down, "You are not as tall as me even if you run every day." After speaking, he deliberately moved to Xu Tao's side, and Xu Tao looked at Zhang Liang, who was nearly a head taller than him, with some dumbfounding, "From now on taller than you."

After finishing speaking, he walked two steps away and stopped talking to Zhang Liang. He came to the school unsteadily, went to self-study, and recited the text. Xu Tao, who was sitting in the last row, looked at the text slowly. At noon, he bought it at the school gate for 04 cents. The two marijuana flowers drank some hot water, dealt with it, and then continued to look at their notes until school was over at 30:[-] in the afternoon.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was August, and Xu Yan's wedding date had already been set, which was on October 10, the nineteenth day of the ninth lunar month.

On August [-]th, Liqiu, Xu Tao came back from a run, began to clean up his personal hygiene, washed, and changed the sports vest and shorts he was wearing. After washing, after breakfast, Xu Tao walked into Xu Yan's room and saw a pile of The cotton fabric of the kang, "Sister." Xu Tao greeted Xu Yan who was squatting by the kang cabinet and rummaging through things.

When Xu Yan turned her head, Xu Tao saw Xu Yan's sweaty face, and hurried out of the room to wash the towel back to the room and handed it to Xu Yan. Xu Yan wiped off the sweat, "Sister, what are you looking for?"

Xu Yan put the towel aside, "I'm looking for where is the piece of blue cloth I left." Xu Tao looked at Xu Yan with some puzzlement, "What are you looking for?" Xu Yan gave Xu Tao a white look, "It's really good , I’ll make short sleeves for you, look at your clothes, they’re all leaky, our family doesn’t lack that little money, you’re a young man of fifteen or sixteen, you won’t be laughed at when you go out.”

Xu Tao suddenly remembered that his two short-sleeves, one with a flap, and one with a hole in the back, smiled and dragged Xu Yan to sit by the kang, "Sister, let's go to the city tomorrow."

Xu Yan looked at Xu Tao curiously, "What are you doing in the city? Do you want to buy something?" Xu Tao smiled and nodded, "Well, buy something." Xu Yan thought for a while, and anyway, she was going to buy a watch for Er Zhuzi. "Okay, I'll buy a watch for your brother-in-law, let's go together."

Xu Tao deliberately pretended to be wronged and glanced at Xu Yan, "Sister, you are not good to me, you even buy watches for my brother-in-law but not for me."

Seeing Xu Tao with aggrieved face and smiling eyes, Xu Yan chuckled, slapped Xu Tao, turned around and took out a small box from the bottom of the kang cabinet and handed it to Xu Tao, "Why didn't I buy it for you, this is your brother-in-law It was delivered yesterday, and he asked someone to bring it back from another place, you can see if you like it."

Xu Tao was slightly taken aback. He knew that Wang Guizhu had come yesterday, but he just thought he wanted Xu Yan to come and take a look. Unexpectedly, Xu Tao took the box in Xu Yan's hand, opened it gently, and found a plum blossom card Xu Tao's quartz watch lay quietly in the box, with a round dial and the sound of ticking needles. Xu Tao slowly showed a warm smile on his face. He took out the watch, put it on his wrist directly, stretched out Putting her arms in front of Xu Yan's eyes, "Sister, do you look good?"

Xu Yan happily touched the translucent dial, "It looks good, Xiaotao looks better on it than others." Xu Yan touched it for a long time, and then withdrew his hand. Some feel sour. If you say that the family is not short of money now, but Xu Yan may be afraid of poverty and dare not buy anything. Now there are many children in the village who buy clothes to wear. Only Xu Yan does not. Xu Yan would rather Buying fabrics makes me tired and sweaty, and I don’t buy them, just to save a few dollars, and the family can eat well these years. Whether it’s wearing or wearing them, they are not better than other people’s homes, or even worse than those conditions. family.

No one would have thought that Xu Tao, who fell into the crowd and was inconspicuous, would have 8 yuan in his hands. The entire brigade, except for Yu Guihua's family, probably knew a little bit about it, and no one knew the details of Xu's family. How much money is there? In the past three years, the three greenhouses of his family have made a net profit of more than 13 yuan. Even Xu Yan has more than 5 yuan in his own hands, but it has been hidden and no one knows. Besides, Xu Yan and Xu Tao are not people who show off , food and clothing are just ordinary and cannot be ordinary.

The money the family earned in the past three years, except for some necessary expenses, Xu Yan divided all the money into two parts, keeping one part for herself and giving the other part to Xu Tao. Yan was a dowry, and after Xu Yan couldn't persuade Xu Tao, she didn't want any of the money she earned last year and gave it to Xu Tao. In order to prevent Xu Tao from giving the money to herself when she got married, she even said that if Xu Tao dared to give her the money, she would Never go to this house again.

Xu Tao was helpless and only wanted to buy something for Xu Yan before getting married. Xu Tao, a child from the countryside, even if he lived more than ten years longer than others, was still the Xu Tao who knew nothing. In Xu Tao's heart, he could only remember appreciation There is only one thing, gold, Xu Tao thought that since Xu Yan does not want money, then buying some jewelry for Xu Yan is also a little bit of love for his younger brother, and Xu Tao knows that if a little daughter-in-law in the countryside has a few pieces of gold jewelry, it is definitely a must. A matter of face.
