Just when Zhang Taiping was so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep, a crisp and cheerful voice came into his ears.

"Sister, I'm back."

And then "Huh? "A bang. was very puzzled and surprised by the scene of Yaya sleeping in Zhang Taiping's arms.

turned his head away with a "hum" at Zhang Taiping's open eyes, ignored him, and talked to his sister by himself.

Sister-in-law Cai Xiaomei.

Zhang Taiping touched his nose in a daze, and didn't care, smiling at the cheerful scene of the two sisters meeting.

My sister is gentle like water, like a girl in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and has the mature and charming style of a young woman. The younger sister is young and beautiful, with a slight taste of chili, and it can be seen from the demeanor and action of the speech that she is a lively and clever master, who is not as plump as her sister, but she is full of youth and enthusiasm.

The height is slightly lower than that of my sister.,There is also a 1.7-meter appearance.,It's tall among girls.。 The white-washed jeans bring out the slenderness and straightness of the legs, and the upper body is paired with a floral plaid shirt. The ponytail is casually tied at the back of the head.

Although there are no more than 100 stalls, they are not necessarily shabby, giving people the impression of being clean and tidy, free and easy.

His wife, Cai Yazhi, gestured and asked, "Why did you come back today?" Not enough money? ”

Cai Xiaomei took her sister's hand and said, "Sister, today is September 30th, tomorrow is the National Day, and the school has a five-day holiday." You don't have to worry about the money in the future, don't save it, if you have money, you and Yaya will buy some food and clothes, and the money saved is not easy to save and let some people use it to waste. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Taiping under the eaves with his eyes.

Zhang Taiping squinted his eyes and pretended not to see or hear, and continued to listen.

The wife ignored the second half of the sentence, frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Then what about your living expenses?" You don't want to, don't go out."

Cai Xiaomei interrupted her sister's movements with tears and laughter, and said, "Sister, what are you thinking, I just found a tutor outside, enough to support myself, and I didn't go out to do bad things." ”

The wife breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is that safe?" How much is it a month? Is it enough? ”

"It's near the school, and besides, I can work hard to clean up a few thugs." Then he said, "The money is completely enough, this time you should put your heart in your stomach!" ”

The wife smiled and nodded.

When there was a car accident that year, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, Cai's father and Cai's mother were involved together.

At that time, his wife Cai Yazhi was only thirteen years old, and there was a ten-year-old sister below. The wife took care of all the housework and farm work by herself, and gradually developed a surname that is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

The perpetrators paid 20,000 in compensation to each victim. Very little, but this is the status quo. It cannot be denied that there is an invisible class in China, and the lives of people in the cities are worth more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and those who are attached to "da" and "expensive" are more valuable, while a life in the countryside is only worth 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. In a collective car accident like this, it will be forcibly sent away with twenty or thirty thousand.

40,000 yuan, Cai Xiaomei has slowly spent it in school in recent years. Cai Xiaomei is still quite competitive, and she has become the first university in the village in decades. Last year, I was admitted to a college Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, the best papermaking major. The school is located in the university park in the northern suburbs of Xi'an, not too far from home.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age, and the tribulation urges the maturity of the people.

After getting acquainted with the surrounding environment in the first academic year, the first semester of the sophomore year, that is, the beginning of this year. Cai Xiaomei found a tutor near the school.

I teach students in the second year of junior high school four times a week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Monday, and I teach mathematics, English, and physics. For two hours each time, thirty dollars per hour, nearly a thousand dollars a month. For her, who can live comfortably for a month for 400 yuan, she can also have a balance of more than 500 yuan.

used to rely on the life that my sister usually accumulates, although she is only three years older, she is the eldest sister like a mother. Now that I can support myself, I can't bear to ask for my sister's hard-earned money. I was able to bring a small gift for my little niece when I came back.

It wasn't Cai Xiaomei who reminded Zhang Taiping that he really forgot that time flies like a shuttle, and it will be the National Day in a blink of an eye. In the countryside, I remember that today is the second day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and the customary surname of the solar calendar is forgotten.

Tomorrow is the third day of the new year, and there is a market in the town. It seems that tomorrow I will have to go out for a walk, go to the market, take a walk, and also find out the market to buy some seeds. Zhang Taiping thought so in his heart.

After a while, Yaya woke up and was very happy to see her aunt. slipped down from Zhang Taiping's arms and threw himself into his aunt's arms.

"Auntie, why are you back?"

Cai Xiaomei squatted down and picked up Yaya, rubbed Yaya's pink smile with her forehead and said, "Yaya, do you miss your aunt?" ”

"Yes! Yaya thinks about her aunt every day. The girl raised her head and replied proudly.

"Well, I didn't hurt you in vain. Come, aunt's gift for you, do you like it or not? Saying that, Cai Xiaomei took out a box of colored pens and handed it to Yaya.

Yaya was overjoyed when she took the colored pen, and kissed her aunt on the face. Then he writhed his little body in his aunt's arms and asked his aunt to put herself on the ground.

Yaya held up the colored pen in front of Zhang Taiping's eyes and said happily: "Dad, look, my aunt bought me the colored pen." ”

Zhang Taiping touched the little girl's soft hair and said with a smile: "Okay, the girl will draw a picture of the little cat in a while." ”

The little girl's eyes lit up, nodded, picked up the little squirrel that was still lying on Zhang Taiping's lap, and ran to Cai Xiaomei and said happily.

"Auntie, look, this is the little squirrel that my father gave me, called Little Kitten, and it was my name."

The innocent and immature voice made Zhang Taiping ashamed for a while, as a father, he never remembered to buy a gift for his daughter, and even this little thing was given by his grandfather. But let her daughter be like a treasure and show off.

Cai Xiaomei grabbed the fluffy little thing and looked at Zhang Taiping in surprise. This was unprecedented, and she could not be amazed.

Cai Xiaomei took Yaya's little hand and entered the house and covered the door lightly. Deliberately asked in a low voice.

"During the time that my aunt is no longer there, did the big bad guy beat you?"

Although the voice was as small as a mosquito ant, it still reached Zhang Taiping's ears.

Since discovering the space, the body has been transformed by the aura emanating from the space at any time. His strength has risen to the next level, and even his facial features have become more intelligent, sensitive and meticulous to changes in the surrounding environment.

At first, there was a real disturbance, and the mosquitoes flew past my ears like an airplane roaring in my ears; Taste a little spicy, and be so spicy that tears flow.

After more than 20 days of adjustment, it is now considered the ability to adapt to the sudden strengthening, and the sharpness of the facial features can be freely changed and adjusted.

You don't have to concentrate to hear the sound behind the door.

"Dad is not a big bad guy, Dad is very good to Yaya. He also taught Yaya to write and told stories to Yaya. Tell the story of "The Wolf Comes", tell the story of "Little Red Riding Cycle", and tell the story of "Hulu Baby". Yaya also gave half of her father to the kitten, but her father didn't beat Yaya. The child didn't know how to lower his voice, and still said in the same crisp voice.

Zhang Taiping had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he could see the scene of the little girl breaking her hands and counting down.

"Quiet, small, little traitor. It's only been a few days since you mutinied? ”

Cai Xiaomei pretended to be angry and said, seeing the maid's mouth curled, she said again.

"Well, not a little traitor, and your dad isn't a big badass. Did he bully his mother? ”

Zhang Taiping couldn't help laughing, hehe, I didn't expect this sister-in-law to have the talent to do underground work.

"No, Dad is also very good to Mom, and he helps Mom dig sweet potatoes," the little girl whispered like a thief.

"Oh?" Cai Xiaomei didn't say anything more.

Zhang Taiping quickly put away the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Immediately the sound of opening the door sounded, Cai Xiaomei came out, looked at Zhang Taiping carefully with her eyes, and did not feel any change. Well, it's just a lot quieter than before, and there is less rough and irritable atmosphere.

I couldn't understand it, so I didn't get into the horns anymore, so I turned around and went into the house to help my sister make dinner.

Dinner is shepherd's cabbage egg dumplings. Two people are better than one, and it's ready before it gets dark.

The dumplings were taken out of the pot and put in the basin, and the four people sat cross-legged around the basin on the kang, each holding a small bowl of spicy sauce and vinegar.

The amount of dumplings in the basin is small, and there are three catties. Calculated according to the price in the city, a catty of eighteen yuan, such a large half basin is worth more than fifty yuan. In the countryside, it doesn't cost anything, it just takes a little time.

Countryside people yearn for the high-rise buildings and splendor in the city, and city people envy the self-sufficiency and green nature of the countryside. There is really some meaning of Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Waicheng" in it.

After eating, Cai Xiaomei was going to sleep in the opposite room, but was stopped by Zhang Taiping.

turned around and didn't speak, staring at Zhang Taiping coldly.

Zhang Taiping felt quite unnatural, touched his nose, and said stubbornly.

"The opposite room has been unoccupied for a long time, and it is inconvenient and unsafe for you to be alone at night, so let's sleep with your sister and Yaya, and I'll go to the back room to sleep."

After speaking, without waiting for Cai Xiaomei to react, she went to the back room and closed the middle door casually.

Cai Xiaomei frowned and watched Zhang Taiping leave, and did not speak for a long time. My sister has been married for more than five years, and this is the first time she has stayed at home for the night. Although my home is not far from the opposite side, this is a matter of heart. Today, I always feel that this brother-in-law is weird, as if he has changed into a different person.

Zhang Taiping has been sleeping alone in the bed in the back room for dozens of days.

It's not that Zhang Taiping has any unspeakable physical illness, but that he can't get over himself psychologically. Although he is already the owner of this body, he has vowed in his heart that he will take good care of his wife and daughter, no matter how he cheers himself up, but every time he comes into battle, he always feels guilty.

When I came to the middle courtyard, I sweated profusely and vented my anger that I couldn't eat for more than 20 days, and then I took a cold shower with a bucket of cold water to feel comfortable.

Sitting under the laurel tree, looking at the rare starry sky in the city through the shade, I sighed in my heart: It's better to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible, and then set up some banquets to give yourself an explanation. Holding it like this, sooner or later something will go wrong.

I've been married for five years, and I haven't gotten a marriage certificate yet. To get married in the mountains, set up a few tables of banquets, and ask the villagers to be a witness, the marriage certificate is secondary. In the small village, there are not a few children who run around the mountains without a marriage certificate.

Besides, Yaya should also apply for a household registration as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble to go to school or something in the future.
