The days passed quickly, and Xiao Tao went from the initial anticipation to the later disappointment. Qi Gongzi, they may never come again. Perhaps they did not wait three days before they left; Maybe they went back to make a detour and didn't go to Anping Town again---- Xiao Tao couldn't guess the reason, but her mind was getting heavier and heavier. Growing up so big, Xiao Tao has always been heartless, and it is the first time that he can remember one thing and one person for so long in his heart.

More than half a year has passed, and Xiao Tao's life is still the same as before, but her heart is different. The heart is heavy, the heart is fine. And Xiao Taoniang's illness is not optimistic, since she was pushed down by Ye Guang last time, she has been short of breath and her condition is getting worse. I was already bedridden, but now I can't do it day by day. Xiao Tao couldn't care about Qi Gongzi anymore, and in addition to rowing a bamboo raft every day, he hurried home to take care of his mother. Even the young lady can't see the little peach as often as before.

Xiao Tao took care of her mother carefully, but Xiao Tao Niang still couldn't survive the New Year, and on the third day of the lunar month, Xiao Tao Niang let go. Before leaving, he couldn't speak, just held Xiao Tao's hand tightly, and seemed to have a lot to say to Xiao Tao, but he could only open his mouth and pant until the lamp ran out.

Xiao Tao was stunned, although she was prepared, she still couldn't accept that this day came so quickly. She wanted to cry but couldn't. It turns out that the biggest grief is not howling and crying, but just trance. Xiao Tao couldn't come back to her senses for many days, and she couldn't believe that her mother had left her. It wasn't until the day of the burial, watching the loess bury the thin coffin little by little, that Xiao Tao threw herself on the coffin desperately, and no one could pick it up. Until finally I fainted from crying.

Ye Laosan has been delayed by Xiao Taoniang's illness for many years, but he is not too sad. just patted his thigh vigorously and sighed that his life was not good, and he married two mothers-in-law and left first.

Ye Guang Jiao'er Lang appeared twice in the local area, and saw Xiao Tao wearing a filial piety clothes, usually with small peach patches and patches of clothes, like a gray monkey all day long, and really couldn't get into Ye Guang's eyes. Now she is dressed in plain clothes, and her face is also rare and calm, a little bit feminine. Ye Guang rubbed his palms, raised his lips and smiled, no wonder people say "women are pretty, and they are filial". This girl is kind of interesting.

After her mother left, Xiao Tao fell seriously ill and was groggy every day, just lying in bed. But it's strange, Ye Guang didn't scold her for being lazy like before this time, but ran over to ask for warmth. Xiao Tao looked at him strangely, and asked him weakly, "What about Dad?" ”

"Daddy went out to work." Ye Guang took a paper bag and came up, "I bought it for you, boiled peanuts, eat it quickly." ”

This is the sun coming out of the west. Xiao Tao only felt that his smiling expression was particularly annoying, so he pushed his hand away and said in a stiff tone: "Don't eat it." ”

Ye Guang stuffed the peanut into Xiao Tao's hand, put his free hand on Xiao Tao's shoulder, and said in an obscene tone that he had never seen before: "Xiao Tao, family, don't be so awkward." He touched her shoulder with his hand.

Xiao Tao already understood a little bit of personnel, her face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly pushed Ye Guang's hand away, a little annoyed: "What are you doing?" ”

Ye Guang didn't have much patience, and his face sank: "Don't be embarrassed." How much food did you eat from our family, and how much money did your sick mother waste on my father? If I don't bother with you now, you will obediently follow me, and I don't dislike you for being a mourning star, so I will have it. Otherwise, the shepherd who sold you to the dead wife in the next village may not want you—"
