Liu Xingmei said a few more words to Mrs. Meng and Ruan Qingfang outside, and then wiped herself into the courtyard. I saw Tao Zhenkun and the black tiger keeping a distance and watching, this situation has been happening for a long time. Since his mother-in-law hanged herself last year, Tao Zhenkun has never paid attention to the black tiger, nor has he taken it into the mountains to hunt, or even added food and water to it, almost indifferent to what he once considered a loyal friend, let alone the intimate contact he had in the past.

She knew in her heart that the black tiger was an extremely intelligent dog and quite human. It was able to save Liu Cuihua, who was about to hang herself to die, why couldn't it call for a warning that night? To remind them that tragedy would not happen in their sleep. As for whether the black tiger barked or not that night, it is impossible that it did not see the mother-in-law go out, and even witnessed the whole process of the mother-in-law from hanging to death. Is it always indifferent? In order not to let it be wronged, she also asked the people in the neighborhood, and it turned out that none of them heard the black tiger's cry that night. In this way, the black tiger's charge of disloyalty can only be confirmed in Tao Zhenkun's heart, and then the black tiger is resented and alienated by its male owner.

As for the black tiger, it seems to have acquiesced and borne the responsibility for the tragedy caused by its own dereliction of duty, and whenever it faced Tao Zhenkun, its eyes seemed to be full of guilt and apology, and it no longer took the initiative to shake its head to make him happy.

For such a long time, the black tiger, like a human, has become depressed and looks a lot thinner.

As for what happened that night, it seems that some kind of agreement was reached between the mother-in-law and the black tiger, which is unknown, or has become a mystery forever. It's like a mystery in Tao Zhenkun's heart, why is the father lying in the coffin gone? Is it because he didn't dare to retaliate out of fear before he was born, and he will use such a despicable and dirty means to humiliate him after death? Some people say that only the secret brought into the coffin is a secret, but the secret can still be unearthed from the coffin, but it is difficult to solve the mystery!

Liu Xingmei looked at the black tiger squatting next to the nest, understood her man's mood at this time, and said faintly: "It's really pitiful, no wonder it's just a dog, not a human after all!" Look at how you used to be good to it, you are reluctant to put it in your mouth when you have something good to eat, and you can't leave it down. Fortunately, it is not a mother, if it is, I am afraid that you will have to hold it in the bed! ”

As soon as she said this, she felt that something was wrong, it was originally a joke, but it was tantamount to scolding herself.

Tao Zhenkun didn't speak, his lips were still tense. If it had been in the presence of his parents, he would have used the topic to ridicule her words, but he was not interested in this now, and gags were occasional.

And Liu Xingmei clearly saw the flickering tears in his eyes, so she said: "If you can't get along with it, it's equivalent to you can't get along with yourself, so you feel good?" Why bother! ”

"You're really serving yourself as a dish?"

Liu Xingmei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The dog lifts the curtain with his mouth!"

"What's going on again? You have no head and no brain, what kind of style are you smoking! ”

"Give you some color and you want to open a dyeing room, can we compare with the people of the old Wu family? You also let people call you sister, your cheeks are really thick enough, say it, others will think you climb high branches! ”

"It's not pleasing to you, is it? My phoenix just fell on the plane tree, and I didn't feel ashamed. If you have the ability, you can show them a little bit and win glory for your old Tao family. People are not afraid of being looked down upon by others, but they are afraid that they will even look down on themselves! ”

The beautiful rooster held its head high and showed the demeanor of a king, and took its wife and concubine to stroll in the courtyard as if it were idle.

It's not just the mats in the small vegetable garden that have been turned over and leveled, just waiting for the time to sow the seeds. Even the few vines that hid in the trench greenhouses like dormant winters were pulled up to the shelves, bathed in the warm spring sunshine, waiting for it to regain its vitality. With the arrival of spring, nature has begun to regain a new scene.

The spring breeze swept Liu Xingmei's scattered hair, and in order to treat his father's illness, he generously lost the golden hairpin to marry, and it was Tao Zhenkun who owed Liu Xingmei, and he didn't know when he could compensate.

Tao Zhenkun feels that people can't owe favors in this life, so he wants to break this life pattern and create a new life history that belongs to him. The thought of getting out of the gloom and running to the glory will produce pride. Put aside your worries and distractions, face tomorrow bravely, and you will see hope. So, he took Liu Xingmei's hand and walked into the house.

"What are you doing here?"

"Go back to the house and continue to play the game of making children, and don't talk to me here. As soon as I'm gone, you'll be dry. ”

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Lao Tzu loves to take the wrong medicine!"

Liu Xingmei suddenly felt very sad that in addition to giving birth to children, women are actually men's venting tools!

At this time, she was a little dazed, and when she passed the vegetable garden with a stick and a cane and had already laid a mat waiting to grow vegetables, she suddenly seemed to have the scene of two years ago in front of her eyes, the thunder flashed, and the pouring rain became a river, on which floated several vegetables that were knocked down by hail, and the big coffin was about to rush out of the gate with the current, and the soup hens on the coffin were crowded around the beautiful big rooster, like the concubines hugging the emperor for favor and shelter. In this thrilling situation, the four of them rushed out of the door, wading through the rain and wading to chase the big coffin - the past that has been in the purpose can only appear in memory now-

Near evening, Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei went to Lao Wu's house for a banquet and met Hao Qiang halfway.

They met at the mouth of an alley.

Hao Qiang walked with his head bowed with a duck step, not tall, his fat body really looked like a clay Maitreya Buddha, his swaying posture was like a tumbler, and his clothes with patches looked dirty, just like this, it has always been like this. He carried a basket of flowers on his back and a fork for collecting dung. Looking at him, it seems that he has concentrated his spirit on the cow and sheep dung on the ground, and whenever he finds something, he will find it like a treasure.

When there was a few steps away, Tao Zhenkun stood up and said, "Old guy, what about picking up dung and eggs?" ”

He was afraid of smelling the unpleasant smell on Hao Qiang's body.

Liu Xingmei ripped off Tao Zhenkun's clothes, and said politely: "Uncle Hao!" ”

Hao Qiang raised his head and looked at the two people blankly. He first looked at Tao Zhenkun, and then his eyes fell on Liu Xingmei. In his cloudy eyes, he seemed to be thinking about something, looking for lost memories? After hesitating for a moment, his lips trembled and said, "Zhenkun! W- Whose family is this girl? That's handsome! ”

Liu Xingmei smiled and said, "Uncle, don't you know me?" I'm Zhenkun's daughter-in-law! ”

"Oh!" Hao Qiang was stunned.

Liu Xingmei and Hao Qiang haven't met a few times.

"Didn't you herd the sheep?" Tao Zhenkun's sensitive sense of smell still smelled a sheep's smell on Hao Qiang's body, mixed with a faint pungent smell. It wasn't too hot, but the thinned clothes didn't seem to be able to hide the smell.

"It's the potatoes and sweet potatoes that went to put them for me, it's going to be dark, I'll come out to help rob, don't run around, pick up some by the way." Hao Qiang said with a smile.

The glow of the sunset painted on his fleshy face, which seemed to be getting darker and darker.

"That's—you pick up the dung and eggs of the cows and sheep, and you can poke them in the ass, how good is it to wait for the rabbit behind the butt? You are busy, let's go to Lao Wu's house. Tao Zhenkun said a word and left.

Liu Xingmei said: "You really make fun of people!" ”

Tao Zhenkun smiled and said, "He's quite interesting." ”

"He's a stinky armpit." Liu Xingmei whispered.

"You smell it?"

"Can't you smell it! It seems that he is really sick. ”

"Dementia, bad memory, old boy!"

After walking a few steps away, I heard Hao Qiang shouting behind me and asking, "I heard where do you want to go?" ”

Tao Zhenkun turned around and said: "It's to work outside, and when I come back, we will talk about it!" ”

"Are you going for Ha?"

"God mean, I can't help it! Old fellow, you liar, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, your method doesn't work! ”

"What's the idea?"

"You know that."

"W-you're out there, you've got to be careful!" Hao Qiang kindly advised.

"Hey! You can rest assured! ”

"God mean, I can't help it? Isn't this my favorite thing to say? Hao Qiang muttered.

Liu Xingmei said: "You are really no big, no small, no old or young, you are called an old guy." ”

Tao Zhenkun said: "When I was young, he used to tease me. At that time, he had just gotten married and had no children, so he asked me to be his son. He was older than his father, and he married a woman who was divorced because of a few people who disliked not having children. He has a good temper and doesn't rush to get angry about anything. If you call him that, you won't be angry. ”

Liu Xingmei's heart sank and asked, "What's the way?" ”

Tao Zhenkun said incomprehensibly: "It's a secret that belongs to men." ”

"What's the secret, can't you tell your wife?" Liu Xingmei suddenly became curious.

Tao Zhenkun said to touch the giant. Dick begging for a son.

When Liu Xingmei heard this, she said: "Fool, you must have been tricked by him!" ”
