Chapter 16: The Deepest and Shallow Marks (2)

Old Madam Tao looked at him, snorted, and said, "Bring it in." ”

Jingyi was about to get up, but Mrs. Tao said, "You don't have to accompany you here, go out for dinner." The seventh is here. ”

Tao Xiang was asking people to come in to deliver porridge, and when she heard her grandmother say this, she stretched out her hand to take the dinner plate and came over and said, "Then I'll serve grandma to eat." ”

Jingyi got up and made room for him.

He sat down, looked back at her, and said, "Go out to dinner." He"

"Seventh sister-in-law, come quickly." Er Yi came in and asked Jingyi to eat, and made a grimace at her grandmother, "Grandma, I'm starving, I'll come back after eating first." ”

Old Madam Tao ignored her and said to Jingyi, "Jingyi go." Da"

Jingyi saw Tao Xiang sitting on the chair she had just sat on the edge of the bed, serving a porridge bowl, and looking like she was going to feed her grandmother, and was stunned for a while before leaving. Before I went out, I heard the old lady say, "I'll come by myself." ”

"Grandma, I'll come. Save you from getting angry again, my dog's legs are not guaranteed. Tao Xiang insisted on coaxing, really feeding the old lady porridge.

Mrs. Tao looked at him and said, "I think she's fine." ”

She took the bowl from Tao Xiang, ate two mouthfuls of porridge and threw it down.

Tao Xiang was a little anxious, but she waved her hand and said it didn't matter, frowning as she spoke. Tao Xiang asked her, "Would it be okay to let Dr. Hu give her an injection?" ”

"Don't you know I'm on fire too?" Old Madam Tao suddenly asked loudly.

Tao Xiang saw her glaring at herself angrily, and she couldn't help but be silent.

"Bastard boy. Go out and don't want to look at you. Old Madam Tao said irritably.

Mrs. Tao heard the movement and came in to have a look. Seeing Tao Xiang standing beside the bed, he knew that the old lady would not listen to anyone's persuasion when she was angry. But she couldn't help but persuade her, as soon as she walked forward, the old lady simply said, "Let's all go out to eat, let me be clean and clean." ”

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Tao asked Jin Xuan to clean up the bowl, pushed Tao Xiang out of the door, and asked softly, "Why did you annoy the old lady again?" Didn't it make you pay more attention these days? ”

Tao Xiang looked at his mother's expression and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine in a while." ”

"Will it be a while? The old lady has not had a good face when she sees your father these days. You also know that she has a fire and is not good at the light, so she is sick. It's all your fault, but you have to coax the old lady well. Mrs. Tao said, coming out and seeing Jingyi waiting for her with Eryi, "Let the two of you eat first, don't wait for us." ”

"How's Grandma?" Er Yi asked quietly. It has been seen that grandmother's temper is according to the seventh brother, she is somewhat pitiful to the seventh brother, but she feels gloating. Therefore, when he asked, the expression on his face was a little strange. was glared at by Mrs. Tao and said, "Gotta get it, I know, I don't talk much...... Seventh sister-in-law, let's eat. I haven't eaten this pea noodle in over a month, I miss it to death! ”

Jingyi waited for Mrs. Tao and Tao Xiang to sit down before moving the chopsticks again. Pea flour flour, vinegar and chili pepper are added, and it smells fragrant. Seeing her eating noodles quietly, Mrs. Tao didn't eat much herself, but kept putting some on her. Jingyi didn't have much appetite, and when she ate like this, she was about to hold on, Tao Xiang reminded her mother: "Mother, she is not a guest." ”

Er Yi lowered his head and laughed out loud.

Mrs. Tao glared at her again.

Eryi's little girl Ling'er handed her a towel, and she said, "Mother, what Seventh Brother said is also right. If you are like this, the seventh sister-in-law should be uncomfortable. ”

"Don't talk about this yet, aren't you too unpresentable? After going out for a few days, the food when I came back didn't look like a girl, and I didn't even look like a girl's house...... Jingyi, you and Yamei indulged her too much, right? The eighth child's temperament can't be connived up. One vertical is really going to heaven. Mrs. Tao served Jingyi another dish. Jingyi's empty plate suddenly added so much.

Er Yi smiled and asked, "Mother, are you going to feed your seventh sister-in-law to be fat?" ”

"Nonsense." Mrs. Tao looked at Jingyi, "Lao Qi called, and the aunts and grandmothers said that it was not too early, and they were tired of going to Luo's house to watch the play today, so they wouldn't let you go over and kick backwards, and go back and rest early." Ming'er didn't have to go so far to Luo Ruitang, she got up early and the old lady was here, and she saw her together. ”

"Yes." Jingyi thought about it, her aunts and grandmothers always rested late, and said that they didn't let her go over and pedal, I am afraid that they understood her tiredness from the journey. "Aunts and grandmothers went to Locke's house to watch the play?"

"Exactly. The old lady of the Locke family celebrated her seventieth birthday and feasted for three days. Today is the first day. The old lady was originally here to go, but she couldn't go down. Seeing that Jingyi and Er Yi had run out, Mrs. Tao waited for them to wash their hands and whispered, "Go in and sit with the old lady for a while." ”

Mrs. Tao took a nap for a while and was smoking a cigarette inside.

Jingyi smelled the smoke mixed with fruit and flowers, hazy, beside the old grandmother for a week, it looked like the old grandmother was a little fairy.

When Er Yi came in, he pestered Mrs. Tao, insisting on sleeping in the same bed with her.

Old Madam Tao smiled and said, "It's really hot this time, you can go to the water pavilion in the back to cool off." ”

Jingyi and Tao Xiang sat together, and after listening to them for a while, Tao Xiang said, "Grandma, mother, I have to go." ”

"Can't be home tonight?" Mrs. Tao asked.

"Yes. It's a bit of a task today. Besides, my father is also in the headquarters, and I still accompany my father. Tao Xiang said and got up, "Grandma, you rest." Mother, shall I send her back? ”

Jingyi didn't expect Tao Xiang to say this, so she sat still for a while, just looked up at him.

"Go, I just wanted you to go back and rest quickly - your mother will go to warm the old lady of the Luo family on my behalf the day after tomorrow, Jingyi will have a good rest tomorrow, and go with you the day after tomorrow - let's go." Mrs. Tao explained.

Mrs. Tao told Chen's mother Jin Xuan and them again, and then walked out with Tao Xiang and his wife. Er Yi sent them out, and when Tao Xiang and Jing Yi left, Er Yi breathed a sigh of relief and urged his mother to get into the sedan chair.

Mrs. Tao also put down the shelf at this time, looked at Xia Eryi left and right, and said, "Why have you only been out for more than a month, I think you have grown up." Why did you change your mind and stay and study? Don't you always want to go out and break in? ”

"I want to be by my mother's side and be filial to you, can't I?" Eryi should be coquettish.

Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "You are the best with a mouth." ”

"Well, look at the seventh sister-in-law, once she got married so far, she was not always by her mother's side when she was studying, and leaving regrets is a lifelong ...... I'm not talking about those. The School of Hosei is also good. I've been out and seen and know what kind of school is right for me. Besides, I've just figured out what I'm going to do in the future. Er Yi put his arms around Mrs. Tao.

"What are you going to do in the future?" Mrs. Tao asked Er Yi with a smile.

"Mother squatted me? Can't I do something about it? Eryi pouted.

"Okay, you go and do something and show us...... I don't know if I can keep you for a few years, and since your father and your brothers have agreed, I have nothing to say. It's just that the path of reading is your own choice, and if you want to read, you should study hard. Also, I have something to ask you......" Mrs. Tao said.

Er Yi raised his hand and held his mouth all of a sudden, and said angrily, "I don't know...... Know I won't say it either. ”

Seeing her daughter's naughty appearance, Mrs. Tao couldn't help but be angry and funny, and asked, "Do you know what I'm going to ask you?" ”

"The matter of the seventh brother and the seventh sister-in-law. I don't really know. Er Yi put down his hand and looked at his mother, "What did Seventh Brother say when he came back?" ”

"I just can't ask anything, so I want to ask you. Do you want me to ask your seventh sister-in-law? She and your seventh brother are really a pair of treasures, and they won't say anything if they ask. Mrs. Tao complained angrily.

Er Yi saw that her brows were furrowed, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she only said, "Mother, didn't you also say that it was a couple?" If they don't say anything, you can just let the two of them go on their own. ”

"I'm in a hurry!" Mrs. Tao almost said that it was hard to conceive one, but it was gone. Thinking that my daughter is still young, I can't talk to her about this, so I have to hold it back. It's just that he was unwilling, and asked in the end: "Nothing happened?" I always felt weird. ”

"Nope. The seventh sister-in-law is not in good health. At that time, I was tired again, and I was socializing almost every day, and I didn't have a good rest at all. Mother don't think about it anymore. The seventh sister-in-law is careful, let her realize it, it's not good after all......" Er Yi said hesitantly.

Mrs. Tao felt that although she was a child, what she said made sense. Besides, she was just guessing, and she couldn't see anything from Tao Xiang and Jingyi's attitudes, and Er Yi refused to say anything. It's just that she shook her head and said, "I have to ask your eldest sister." ”

Er Yi opened his mouth and said, "Mother, you are really persevering. Yes, just ask. Ouch, it's late, you can go back and rest. I'm sleepy. ”

Mrs. Tao poked her head and got into the sedan chair.

Eryi waited for her to leave, and couldn't wait to go back. Her little girl Ling'er said, "Miss Eight, slow down! ”

"Come with me, I brought you something good......" Er Yi simply ran, stumbling under his feet without paying attention, and actually fell again, "Ah! ”

Ling'er hurriedly came over to pull her, and said with a smile: "Miss Eight is really, she falls all day long, how can this be good...... Miss Eight, you are not at home, the old lady and the old lady are talking about Miss Eight's marriage. ”

Er Yi had just been halfway up, and when he heard this, he sat back and asked, "What?" ”

Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "I didn't really hear it. But the old lady didn't seem to approve of it...... By the way, miss, I heard the old lady angry with her that day...... Did the seventh young grandmother have a miscarriage? The old lady seemed to blame her for it. ”

Er Yi was first shocked by what Ling'er said about his marriage, and when he heard it, he was even more shocked. Ignoring his own incident, he hurriedly asked, "Then who else heard?" ”
