Chapter 476 Something is wrong
Chapter 476 Something is wrong
early morning.
The noisy noise outside finally woke Tao Shuxin up.
I opened my eyes blearily and saw Xiao Yangzhi dressed and sitting aside fiddling with her cell phone.
I remembered I slept on the left side last night, but somehow I ended up on the right side.
Maybe Xiao Yangzhi was squeezed away and had to stay in his own seat.
"What time is it?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"It's half past six."
"Why are you up so early? Did you sleep well?"
"Fortunately."
Yang Zhi was not bored. She sent a text message to Xu Mingyuan as soon as she got up in the morning.
It’s just that I didn’t sleep well last night and didn’t get enough sleep for six hours.
Staying in someone else's home is not as safe as staying in a hotel. There were also sporadic barking of dogs coming from the fruit greenhouse in the distance. Yang Zhi woke up several times that night and just wanted to go home early to catch up on his sleep.
Xu Mingyuan said he would be away for three to five days, and it's been almost a week now. If he hadn't been urged yesterday, he might have been away for ten days.
Fortunately, Xu Mingyuan agreed to come back today, which made Yang Zhi's depressed mood suddenly relieved.
Tao Shuxin has a great resentment towards getting up early, especially when she wants to sleep in but is woken up.
"Xiao Zhizhi, have you washed your face?"
"washed."
"You're going out?"
"No, I let the water in the thermos cool down."
"Ah? Let it cool? Then what time did you get up?"
"About five."
"Five o'clock? Still around? How can this be enough sleep? How about you sleep a little longer?"
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. It's too noisy outside."
"That's right. All the villagers are here to help today. They will occupy the house later. Please wait. I will go find something to eat first."
Tao Shuxin folded the quilt hastily, changed her clothes and jumped out of bed.
The main purpose of bringing Xiao Yangzhi to the town was to let her experience the New Year atmosphere.
In the past two years, the festive atmosphere of the New Year has become increasingly weak. Even the lantern riddle guessing activities that have long been held in shopping malls completely disappeared last year due to mobile phone cheating.
The New Year atmosphere is weak in the city, but very strong in the countryside.
Once the middle of the twelfth lunar month has passed, every household's New Year pig will suffer.
Tao Shuxin never thought that killing pigs was cruel since she was a child. The pigs she had not raised herself were just a dish on the plate, and she wished she could eat pork every day.
Yang Zhi doesn’t like small animals very much, as they think they are dirty and noisy.
But Yang Zhi was timid and didn't want to see animals being killed. Even when she went to the market to buy fish, she would leave it to the stall owner to handle and never dared to look up.
Tao Shuxin was very brave, like a tomboy, and wanted to see the bloody scene of white knife going in and red knife coming out.
After learning of Tao Shuxin's bold idea, Yang Zhi hurriedly grabbed her and used all her strength to prevent her from passing.
"Xiao Zhizhi, come on, I'll show you some courage!"
Tao Shuxin dragged him towards the crowd at the edge of the field.
"Do you look like a girl? Don't go!"
Hearing the dry howling of the Nian pig, Yang Zhi's heart trembled. She pulled her arms hard, grasped the ground with her feet, and lay back desperately.
"If you don't want to go, let me go. You stay here first." Tao Shuxin said.
"Don't leave me here alone, okay? If you do this again, I won't go out with you next time!" Yang Zhi said fiercely.
"Okay, hey."
Tao Shuxin found that she was quite bad and just wanted to tease her on purpose. In fact, she didn't want to watch it much, it's not like she hadn't seen it before.
Tao Shuxin's uncle's family is considered a wealthy family in the town. Her aunt married into the Fang family and also works in the town's primary school, so there is a constant stream of people visiting them.
Since Tao Shuxin's parents didn't have time to come, she came as a representative of the family to join in the fun and bring some New Year's goods home.
"Hey, uncle, where's my aunt? Didn't she come with you?"
Seeing a Santana sedan honking its horn and stopping with its window rolled down, Tao Shuxin, who was taking little Yangzhi for a walk, waved and greeted them.
"No, my sister-in-law is at work, so I asked her to help out for a day. Taotao, you can't tell your girlfriend." He Chen said with a straight face.
"Uncle, how dare you skip class? I'll tell him off!" Tao Shuxin said with a sneer.
"What is there to say? I'll give you a big red envelope for the New Year. Who is this little beauty? Oh! The eldest lady is here? Oh no, I can't hide my skipping work anymore." He Chen joked with a smile.
"Why call me Miss? It sounds so ugly. Humph, uncle, you can just wait for your salary to be deducted." Tao Shuxin said.
"Where's Boss Xu? He's not with you?"
"He hasn't come back from his business trip yet. He said he took a flight today, but I don't know if he can make it." Tao Shuxin pouted. "I called him to urge him. I went to have a couple of drinks with him."
"Drink shit! I won't let him drink!"
When it comes to drinking, Tao Shuxin remembered that Xu Mingyuan drank alone with Su Muqing last night.
Sister Qingqing always avoided suspicion in the past, but this time she didn't even inform me in advance. I won't let her see Xu Mingyuan next time. Humph...
When a wealthy family kills a pig for the New Year, they will definitely kill more than one. The local pigs raised at home are all fed with grains and taste much better than pigs fed with feed. They are not sold to the outside world and are kept as gifts.
Tao Shuxin just ate some bread in the morning to fill her stomach and was just waiting for the big meal.
The aunt knew how greedy her eldest niece was, so she took out a piece of meat after cooking it and asked Tao Shuxin to come and eat it.
"Xiao Zhizhi, try it. Fresh hand-torn meat is the best. You can only eat it once a year. If you want to eat it again, you have to wait until next year."
Tao Shuxin didn't even pick up chopsticks. She just grabbed a piece of meat, dipped it in the garlic sauce, and ate it with her mouth wide open.
Yang Zhi's eating manner was much more elegant. He picked up the meat strips with chopsticks, dipped them in a little garlic juice, and chewed them slowly.
The fresh hand-torn meat was delicious, but Yang Zhi was not focusing on the food. She was still thinking about when she could go home.
"You should eat the ones with some fat. Lean meat doesn't taste good. Eat this." Tao Shuxin said as he picked out a piece of meat.
"I don't eat it. It's too fat."
"This is a little bit of fat hanging on the tendons. It's not greasy. Oh, I'm not lying to you. Open your mouth quickly, ah..."
Tao Shuxin picked up the strip of meat and was about to stuff it into Xiao Yangzhi's mouth.
Yang Zhi looked at the meat in her greasy fingers with disgust, but was afraid that the sauce would splash all over herself, so she opened her mouth reluctantly and took it.
"I didn't lie to you, did I? Is it delicious?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"good to eat……"
Yang Zhi responded perfunctorily. She liked to eat light food. Boiled meat in water with garlic juice was very light, but it was still meat and tasted very fresh and fragrant, but she would get tired of it after a few bites.
"Huh? I thought you were going to say it wasn't tasty."
Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi's brows were almost twisted together, Tao Shuxin said with a little surprise.
"will not."
Yang Zhi shook her head. If she said it was not tasty, Tao Shuxin would ask her to try another piece of meat. It would be better to say it was tasty from the beginning.
Tao Shuxin likes to impose her preferences on others. Although she is a very enthusiastic girl, she can be quite annoying sometimes.
It is difficult for her to change this bad habit. She is no longer like this with outsiders, but she cannot avoid it with people she is familiar with.
Yang Zhi sighed softly, not knowing how her brother could endure it. He had only spent one day alone with her, and it was already a bit unbearable. If this continued for a lifetime, she couldn't imagine how torturous it would be.
In fact, treating Tao Shuxin is very simple, just say whatever you want to say.
She is a girl who speaks her mind. As long as you express your dislike in a strong way, she will just complain in her heart and won't hold a grudge against you.
But little Yangzhi was of a soft nature and never expressed toughness, so she could only endure it silently.
"Have another piece."
"I'm stuffed."
"How can you be full? You didn't eat anything this morning. Eat something more, quickly..."
Tao Shuxin teased Xiao Yangzhi like she was teasing a child.
Tao Shuxin quite likes playing with Xiao Yangzhi when Xu Mingyuan is not around, because she will be very well-behaved at this time and will only listen to what she says.
"Hey, hey, hey, you unlucky child, you forced the little Yangzhi to eat even though he didn't want to?"
Xu Mingyuan, who had been traveling all the way, didn't stay at home for long. He drove non-stop to pick up Xiao Yangzhi.
After finding out Tao Shuxin's location, he came immediately.
"Can't you see? She looks bad. She needs to eat more. Eh? Brother Xiaoyuan, aren't you in Beijing? How come you're back so soon?"
When Tao Shuxin saw Xu Mingyuan, she was not able to react for a moment, and suddenly she remembered that he was still in Beijing last night.
"It's a morning flight. It takes less than two hours from Beijing to Jiangcheng. I asked the driver to pick me up in advance. How can it not be fast?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"Hehe, you came all the way here, did you bring me a gift..." Tao Shuxin said with a pout.
However, before Xu Mingyuan could answer, Xiao Yangzhi rushed up.
"elder brother……"
Yang Zhi was very depressed, but she still took out a tissue from her pocket, wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth, and then rushed over to hug Xu Mingyuan.
"I……"
Tao Shuxin opened her mouth slightly, staring at the scene in a daze.
isn't it?
I don't miss him that much, do you want to be like this?
Something is wrong, very wrong!
Tao Shuxin narrowed her eyes, her mouth almost curled up to the sky...
