Chapter 81: The Peach Family
Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Li Zheng led a few men from the village to come.
Mrs. Xia was afraid that someone would steal the chicken and the dog and take the things in the house, so she hurriedly followed a few people and watched.
Xia Yinghan slipped out of the house by picking wild vegetables, but when she went out, she went in the other direction.
After walking for a while, I came to the door of the family's house, and looked through the yard, only to see two mud tiles mixed with thatched houses, which looked very simple.
Before he stepped forward and knocked on the door, he saw Tao Erya sticking his head out of it and looked nervously at the left and right roads, and when he saw that there was no one, he pulled open the door and dragged Xia Yinghan in.
Xia Yinghan looked at Tao Erya like a thief with a smile, and quipped: "What's the matter, you're waiting for me, and you're afraid that I won't come!" ”
"I didn't ...... Isn't this afraid of being seen by my grandmother? ”
Hearing her say this, Xia Yinghan also remembered the situation of Tao Erya's family.
The Tao family is also a strange thing in Pingsi Village, Tao Erya's grandmother is Uncle Tao's stepmother, the so-called stepmother will have a stepfather, the stepmother does not wait to see his ex-wife's son, plus he gave birth to two sons later, and he blows the pillow wind all day long, Uncle Tao's father gradually dislikes this son.
Later, Uncle Tao's wife ran away with the wild man after giving birth to Tao Erya, and Uncle Tao himself became seriously ill, so the mother separated Uncle Tao and Tao Erya from the house.
But after dividing the family, only Uncle Tao and the two of them were given two dilapidated houses, and there was not even a stove for burning the fire, and the problem of eating still had to go back to Tao's house to solve.
In exchange for the right to use the fire house, Tao Erya had to help the Tao family work, which is why Xia Yinghan would see Tao Erya chopping wood at the Tao family.
Uncle Tao used to be a famous carpenter in Pingsi Village, and the furniture he made was sturdy and beautiful, and he was very popular with everyone.
But since he got sick, he couldn't make that kind of large furniture anymore, so he had to make some gadgets and let Tao Erya take them to the town to sell.
Uncle Tao's money for taking medicine every day and the money for the family to buy rice and vegetables all rely on this, so if there is no business in "Taoyuan", the family's financial resources will be cut off.
"Ahem...... Erya ...... Isn't the big flower coming? Uncle Tao's voice came from the room.
"Hey, Dad, it's the big flower." Tao Erya led Xia Yinghan into a room.
Because the windows and doors were closed, the room looked even dim, and there was a smell of medicine that could not be dispersed.
Uncle Tao leaned on the kang in a dress, his face was slightly pale, and he coughed with his hands over his mouth from time to time.
"Uncle Peach." Xia Yinghan said hello to Uncle Tao.
"Are you...... Big flowers? ”
It's no wonder that Uncle Tao can't recognize Xia Yinghan, since he fell into the water and was rescued, Xia Yinghan's whole temperament has changed, no longer like before, looking inferior and cowardly, talking to people with his head down, plus he has been going to the town from time to time to fight tooth sacrifices recently, and he has grown some flesh on his body, so it looks very different from before.
Uncle Tao heard Tao Erya tell them what happened yesterday, and Ben didn't believe that Xia Yinghan could help them do business, and he had already thought of another way out.
But now that he sees Xia Yinghan, he inexplicably feels that maybe what his daughter said to him yesterday is true.
"Dahua, our family is simple, and we have nothing to entertain you......" looked at Tao Erya who was standing on the side, and hurriedly shouted: "Erya, what are you doing stupidly, pour a glass of water for Dahua!" ”
"Oh, I'll go." Tao Erya turned around and was about to go out to pour water.
"Uncle Tao, Erya, don't be busy." Pulling Tao Erya, Xia Yinghan said: "It's not good for me to stay here for a long time, you should also know what happened to our family yesterday, I just took the time to sneak out today, and I have to go back quickly." ”
