At noon, Zhou Shi'an asked Meng Tao to go home with him for dinner, saying that he would go to the brigade headquarters to talk about things after eating.

Zhou Cuiling also came back from work, and her mother cooked the meal together, the staple food is corn paste and black flour pancakes, three kinds of dishes, fried cowpeas, garlic mixed with eggplant and salted dried radish, dried radish cut into small pieces with rapeseed oil, red pepper stir-fried again, fragrant, look at the rice.

Zhou Cuiling fetched water to wash her father's face and hands, and Meng Tao went to the water tank in the courtyard to scoop water and wash herself.

Cuiling's mother's surname is Yang, Meng Tao called her Aunt Yang, Aunt Yang greeted Meng Tao warmly, and when she was about to start the meal, three boys about ten years old ran in from outside, some called their parents and some called their sisters, and then they wanted to grab the dishes and chopsticks to eat.

The three boys are Zhou Cuiling's younger brothers, at a glance, they know that they are naughty and mischievous, they are still playing and making trouble while eating, at the dinner table, Zhou Shi'an is kind to his daughter, and he is glaring at his sons, Aunt Yang also cares more about her daughter, looking at which son behaves too out of line and will raise chopsticks to make a gesture to beat, the three boys are probably used to it, and it is okay to be beaten and scolded, and they also grinned at their sister and rushed to talk to her, which shows how favored Zhou Cuiling is at home.

Meng Tao was envious, her parents in her previous life divorced, they each started a family and had another child, and threw her to her elderly grandmother to raise, Meng Taohua in this life has also been dependent on her parents and Grandpa Meng since she was a child, and she has never enjoyed Zhou Cuiling's happiness, hey, sure enough, people have their own lives, and they can't be compared.

After the meal, Bao Shunfeng came over, and Meng Tao and Uncle Zhou didn't have to go to the team headquarters, and talked directly in the Zhou family hall.

This kind of thing happened to the Tian family, Tian Agui suffered a stroke and was hospitalized, but Wang Shuifeng refused to take a telegram to ask Tian Zhigao to come back, the brigade headquarters or Peach Blossom could go and take a telegram, but if Tian Zhigao didn't take it seriously, he didn't come back, what could he do?

Zhou Shi'an and Bao Shunfeng discussed, whether to send someone to accompany Taohua to the provincial capital, directly found Tian Zhigao, confronted him, and asked him what happened if he left his daughter-in-law in the village alone, and married someone else in the city?

If Tian Zhigao can break off with the woman outside and get back together with Peach Blossom, then it's okay to say, the prodigal son will not change his money, give him a chance to change his mind, if he is obsessed, then don't be polite, just sue him to his unit!

It was Meng Lao who made him, but he turned his head and threw off the lonely peach blossoms, ungrateful and morally corrupt!

Meng Tao listened to Zhou Shi'an and Bao Shunfeng discuss, nodded and agreed to go to the provincial capital, even if the team did not propose, she also wanted to go, it is not uncommon for a prodigal son to turn back, in the text, Meng Taohua was abused, poor and miserable for a lifetime, all thanks to Tian Zhigao, Tian Zhigao deceived his grandparents and grandchildren, and used peach blossoms as stepping stones, Meng Tao couldn't let Tian Zhigao feel better, so he had to step on him a few times, even if the backstage of his other wife in the city was hard and powerful, at least he had to take off his skin.

What makes Zhou Shi'an and Bao Shunfeng worried is that they have to take a shuttle bus and a train to go to the provincial capital, and it takes two days on the road alone, and the peach blossom culture is low, so they dare not let her alone, but who has time to accompany her to the provincial capital? Now that the autumn harvest is coming, the production team is busy, and the commune is even busier, anyway, the two of them can't get out of the way.

Zhou Cuiling listened beside her, and suddenly interjected: "Or I take a day off, send Peach Blossom to the regional train station, buy a ticket and send her on the train, the train goes directly to the provincial capital, there is food on the car and there is a toilet, tell Peach Blossom not to get off casually halfway, just do it." ”

Bao Shunfeng: "What about the provincial capital?" Her eyes were dark, and she knew where to go. ”

Zhou Cuiling looked at Zhou Shi'an: "Actually, the National Day is now in the provincial capital, and he wants to study and train there for half a year." He wrote to me and gave me a phone number......"

Zhou Shi'an glanced at his daughter: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Na Cheng, then call the National Day, ask him to wait at the provincial train station to pick up people, and then send the peach blossoms to the Qianqian Steel Mill, and ensure that they will be handed over to Tian Zhigao, and then ...... Huh? Do you recognize peach blossoms on National Day? ”

"Yes." Zhou Cuiling said: "When I came to our village on National Day before, I told him that this was a peach blossom, and he later said that he met a peach blossom on the road, but he could greet people and ignore him." ”

Meng Tao, the man behind the pot, could only laugh awkwardly: Meng Taohua was indeed a little introverted and autistic in the past, and acquaintances didn't care much about it, let alone a young man from another village.

Zhou Shi'an said: "Then Cuiling will send the peach blossoms to the regional train station, buy a ticket to get on the train, peach blossoms, you have to take the train honestly, you can't go with people casually, you can't eat people's food, and you are resolutely not allowed to get off the train halfway, understand?" ”

Meng Taolisuo replied: "Uncle, I understand, just go with someone, if it's a bad person, you will kidnap me." ”

Zhou Shi'an nodded with satisfaction: "If you have something, you can ask the conductor or the police on the train for help, that is, those who wear big hats and clothes like public security." ”

"Hmm."

Meng Tao thought that she was nameless, since Zhou Shi'an and Bao Shunfeng wanted to help her go to the provincial capital, they must have prepared the travel expenses, but she should also make a statement that she would repay the money in the future, so she said: "The travel expenses ......"

Bao Shunfeng said: "You don't have to worry about this, the team will advance it to you first, and when you arrive in the provincial capital, you have to ask Tian Zhigao to get the money, if not, the Tian family will be deducted when the grain is distributed." ”

After a pause, he said: "After the autumn harvest, the grain will be distributed, and then your rations will be distributed to you separately, and you will not be together with the Tian family, and when you come back from the provincial capital, you will first order the grain from the warehouse of the team, and then pass this period of time." ”

"Well, thank you, Uncle Shunfeng."

Next, Zhou Shi'an and Bao Shunfeng and Aunt Yang lined up to teach Meng Tao: When they went to the provincial capital, they saw what Tian Zhigao should do and how to speak, until Meng Tao rehearsed it in front of them and showed them it, so they were relieved.

Zhou Cuiling helped Meng Tao plan to get up, she asked Meng Tao to wash her hair, and then volunteered to pick up scissors to repair Meng Tao's hair, the result was that the technology was not up to par, and the more she cut it, the shorter it became, and Meng Taohua's hair quality was too poor because of malnutrition, fluffy and boring, and finally cut it into a warped head, Meng Tao saw that she was like a fried chicken in the mirror, and she was speechless.

But I can't help it, and I can't shave my head.

Zhou Cuiling remedied a rubber ring and tied a bunch of slanted pigtails at the door of her head, and taught Meng Tao to remember to wet her hair with her hands in water, so that she would not be so fried.

Speaking of packing her luggage, Zhou Cuiling gave Meng Tao a canvas schoolbag to carry with her, and asked her to put the notebook and pen for literacy class study, so that it is very fashionable to carry it, and educated young people do it.

He also rummaged through the travel bag at home and lent it to Meng Tao, suggesting that she bring three sets of clothes, beware of rainy days that are not easy to dry, people in the city love to be clean, and they should change their clothes every day.

Because the Meng family's house was messy, Zhou Cuiling left Meng Tao to live with her first, and then tidy up when she came back from the provincial capital.

In the evening, the two went to study in the literacy class together, and several students who were close to the Tian family saw Meng Tao and surrounded her to tell her the news of the Tian family: Wang Shuifeng didn't take care of the two granddaughters during the day, so they kept crying and crying, Zhao Liulian got angry, got up and fought with her mother-in-law, but fainted and bled all over the ground, Wang Baoshan hurriedly went to invite a barefoot doctor to take a look, it turned out to be a miscarriage!

Tian Zhiyuan's girlfriend woke up and struggled to run home, in the afternoon, a large group of people came to the Tian family, Wang Shuifeng would receive it, cover the door and not make noise, according to the half-grown children who sneaked in and said that it was Tian Zhiyuan's girlfriend's parents and relatives, saying that Tian Zhiyuan treated the girl like that, and the family couldn't afford to lose anyone, so he waited for Wang Shuifeng to get the bride price, and he would go to register tomorrow and marry the girl into the door!

The bride price that the girl's parents asked for was 300 yuan, and without this amount, they would never leave!

In the evening, the person who asked for the bride price left, but I heard Tian Yalan's cry in the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of smashing the bowl and pounding the table......

These Meng Taos just listened and didn't say anything, the Tian family was an absolute enemy with her, and she had to go to the provincial capital and not speak for the time being.

The next day, Zhou Shi'an's father and daughter and Bao Shunfeng called Zhang Guoqing, and then Zhou Cuiling accompanied Meng Tao to the regional railway station and sent her on the train directly to the provincial capital.
