Chapter 18: A Thousand Turns (13)

"The day after tomorrow." Tu Huyi replied immediately.

"Then, what about Dunhuang?" Jingyi asked.

"Jingyi, get in the car." Mrs. Tao and Er An were about to get into the car in front of them, and when they saw Jingyi falling behind, they waved their hands, "It's cold on a rainy day, don't catch a cold." ”

"Yes, Mother." Jing Yi hurriedly walked a few steps and followed into his car.

Tu Huyi sat in front of him.

After driving, Jingyi asked him again, and he said, "Mr. Xiao only has a letter to Qishao." ”

Jingyi nodded.

Tu Huyi looked back at Jingyi and asked, "Young grandma?" ”

"Atul, I see that your injuries have healed, if you want to return to the front line, you can leave at any time." Jing Yi looked at Tu Huyi's injured arm.

Tu Huyi was embarrassed.

"I can't hide it from my grandmother." He simply took off the bandage around his neck and shook his arm, "It's almost all right." ”

"You can see it." Jing Yi's tone was gentle. It had already been seen that Tu Huyi was just exaggerating the injury to delay time, so that she had no reason to force him to leave. This intention is also really touching. "I've decided to postpone my schedule. Wait for the situation on the Qishao front to improve before leaving. ”

Tu Huyi was stunned at first, and then shouted, and even the driver on the side was trembling. He didn't care about it, turned around and asked, "What did you say, young grandmother?" You're not leaving, are you? ”

"Adjutant Tu, what are you yelling about?" Qiu Wei said with a frown.

Tu Huyi couldn't care about this, patted his seat, and said, "This is really good...... If you don't want to leave, I'll go. I followed the medical team's plane...... Young grandma, this is good, this is good. ”

Jingyi looked at him, and her happy face seemed to shine. She didn't speak again.

Tu Huyi was a little excited, and he was a little restless.

Qiu Wei frowned, wanted to say something, but held back.

When he got out of the car when he got home, Jingyi followed Mrs. Tao and Er'an.

Mrs. Tao saw that Jingyi wanted to accompany her, and whispered to her, "Go to Xuanrui Hall to accompany the old lady." I don't need you here. ”

Jing Yi was a little worried, Mrs. Tao would be a little sad to go out because of Eryi, and when she said this, Er'an was here again, so she agreed to go.

Er An watched her leave, sighed, and said, "Mother, I think it's good to see her so sensible." ”

"Who said she was bad?" Mrs. Tao also looked at Jingyi and turned around and went to her residence. She thought about her husband. Tao Shengchuan did not go to the airport to see him off.

Er An frowned and said, "I don't believe that you don't have any ideas, mother. ”

Mrs. Tao only walked forward briskly and said, "You have been living at home for a long time, so go back when you should go back." Save yourself from having to worry at home. ”

Er An laughed when he heard this, and said, "Mother, everyone is looking forward to her daughter's return to Ningning, and you are the only one who goes out to pick people up...... The two close-fitting padded jackets are married so far away, if you want to talk to someone in the future, it will be difficult...... Seventh, no matter how painful you are, you are also a son. It's really like what my aunt said, even if I have another sister and marry closer, you can watch it whenever you want. Wen Pei them, she is reluctant to marry far, and the farthest to marry Tianshui ......"

Mrs. Tao listened to her daughter and knew that she was afraid that she would be lonely and sad at this time, and she had to find something to say to her if she had nothing to say. But this statement touched her heart. As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I looked up at the eaves of the upper house, and my husband Tao Shengchuan was standing there - the rain fell like silk, and in the cold and gloomy weather, this scene seemed to be a wet painting...... After so many years, he has also seen old age. She stood down, and Er'an stood behind her.

"Where can you listen to your own calculations about these things?" Mrs. Tao whispered.

Er'an heard her mother say this, and looked at her face, which was always calm. is calm to a little rigid, but when he speaks, he sees emotion.

"Mother......" Er An took Mrs. Tao's arm.

Mrs. Tao patted her hand and said, "Now you can see the benefits of the prosperity of the family. Over the years, I have occasionally thought that it would be better for me to have another daughter. But one more, one more person to worry about. With a few of you, I've had enough of worrying. Which one makes me worry! ”

Er An was stunned and said, "Yes." ”

When she saw her father, she let go of her mother's hand and said, "I'll go and see my aunts and grandmothers." The eighth child walked around in front of them all day long, and when he left, he was in a panic. ”

Mrs. Tao nodded and said, "Go ahead...... But they should all be at the old lady's by this time. It is advisable to go out, and the old lady is the most reluctant. ”

Er An promised to leave too, and Mrs. Tao walked towards where her husband was standing, and when she was far away, she smiled at her husband and asked, "It's raining, and the humidity is so heavy, why are you standing here?" ”

Tao Shengchuan nodded, and his wife came over to stand beside him, and the two stood on the porch together, looking at the flowers and trees in the courtyard soaked in the drizzle, they were a little too lazy to speak.

"I don't know how the seventh is doing." Mrs. Tao said, her face was a little dark, "The more I think about it, the more frightened I become." The eighth child is at home, and it is not easy to discuss, I am afraid that she will listen to it and be more worried when she goes out; Jingyi is also leaving, and it is even more difficult to discuss - insisting on leaving, it is better to let her go with peace of mind. But in my heart, I always feel that I don't have a letter for a day, and I can't be at peace for a day. Do you want to make a few more reports? You can always be contacted in the rear position, right? ”

"There is an old saying that when you are outside, you will not be subject to military orders. This time I entered Xinjiang, not to mention that Lao Qi was alone, even if it wasn't, today I am still the commander of the Northwest Army, and when he goes out, he is in charge. Tao Shengchuan looked at his wife, smiled, and said, "I'm not worried about him." ”

"You're not worried? I can't sleep well at night. "Mrs. Tao is disgusted. Feeling that it was cold, she pushed her husband into the house.

Tao Shengchuan couldn't resist his wife, so he had to enter the house.

Mrs. Tao was busy making tea for people, and sat on the south kang with her husband, watching the rain through the glass window, and said, "Wouldn't it be better to see the rain?" Why stand on that cool ground, you are not in good health...... I also know that when it rains, you love to see the rain. At this age, watch out for your body. ”

As she spoke, she poured tea for Tao Shengchuan with her own hands.

"The second wife has been gone for so many years, and she has grown up to be such a big person as the seventh child, and you are still like this." Mrs. Tao whispered.

Tao Shengchuan took the tea bowl and said, "What are you talking about again?" ”

The tone was faint, still looking outside.

Mrs. Tao also turned her face, looked at the rain that gathered into thin lines under the eaves, and said, "Don't say it's you, even me, I can't forget it." ”

"Don't mention these old things." Tao Shengchuan said in a deep voice.

The tea bowl was placed on the kang table by him, and two drops of tea soup spilled out.

Falling on the oily table, Mrs. Tao looked at it, like two tears. She took the handkerchief, wiped away the two tears, and said, "All right, don't mention it." Don't be angry, sir. There are a few things I have to discuss with my master. ”

"Say it." Tao Shengchuan softened the color at this time.

It's just that he didn't touch this bowl of tea again......

Tao Eran walked all the way to Xuanruitang, and the rain was a little heavier, and when she arrived, the hem of her skirt was wet for a while.

She heard a voice inside, and when Yinxuan brought her slippers to change, she asked, "Who is here?" Grandma Seven is here? ”

"There are only seven young grandmothers, and the old aunts and ladies have just left, saying that they are very tired of going out for Miss Eight in the past two days, so they have to go back early to rest." Yinxuan said.

Er An was not in a hurry to go inside, and asked Yin Xuan to bring her a set of clothes that Er Yi wore every day to change, inside Jing Yi was talking with the old lady, her voice was neither high nor low, she could hear it here. It was nothing more than some trivial things, and the old lady was old, although her mind was still quick and her mind was clear, and she had heard her repeat these things several times...... Jingyi didn't know if it was the first time she heard about it, but she was still patient, and she had contacts with the old lady, which made the old lady talk very much...... It sounds like the old lady is in a really good mood.

"Who's outside, is it Er'an?" Inside, Mrs. Tao asked.

Er An handed the towel in his hand to Yinxuan, turned around and pushed the door in, and said with a smile: "Yes, grandma, it's me." The clothes were wet, so I changed one outside. ”

Old Madam Tao was crooked on the couch, Jing Yi was sitting on the side, and as soon as Er An entered the door, Jing Yi stood up.

Old Madam Tao saw Er An wearing a smoke-blue robe coming in, and in a trance, she seemed to see Er Yi, and was stunned before saying, "Yo, why are you wearing the clothes of the eighth child, it looks like the eighth child is here." Your sister is also true. ”

"The eldest sister and the eighth sister even have similar voices." Jingyi said softly.

Er An smiled: "Jingyi also thinks like it? Where do I still have the figure of a girl like the eighth sister? Several children have been born, and now they are blindly looking at the tiger-backed waist of their mother and aunt. ”

"They're fine, too. At this age, it is very passable. Old Madam Tao motioned for the two of them to sit down, and turned to look at Jingyi, "Yi'er put her hair down, she really looks like a girl." ”

Er'an also looked at Jingyi. Jingyi is wearing plain today. The pearl-gray dress with her hair tied in a bun is modern and beautiful. She smiled and said: "I look at the modern girls on the covers of those weekly magazines every day, whether they are movie stars or famous ladies, I can't help but think of several daughters-in-law in our family, who are really raised in the depths of the boudoir." In addition to Yamei also accompanying her second brother to socialize, Jingyi only attended a few banquets in Nanjing two years ago, and Li Zhen rarely went out of the Tao family. In fact, these people are all peerless beauties. ”

Jingyi smiled softly and peeled walnuts for the old lady.

When Mrs. Tao heard this, she nodded at Er An and said with a smile: "You can praise people." Isn't it, all of them are beautiful embryos. ”

As she spoke, she sighed, and took the walnut kernel handed over by Jing Yi, but she didn't eat it.
