Taohua thought for a while and said to the young man who was following behind her cautiously, "How about I take you to our village library for a walk."
"Okay." The young man smiled and said, "Your village library is famous. I have wanted to come and have a look for a long time, but I never had the chance."
Taohua smiled and picked up Qiqi.
Xiaotuanzi has short calves, and she was worried that she might fall while walking on the snowy road, so she hugged her to save her worries.
Qiqi didn't even have a chance to refuse.
I feel like I am being held hostage by Sister Taohua =.=
Nestled in the woman's arms, Qi Qi's little head was tilted, just eye to eye with the young man behind him.
"This little doll's name is Qiqi? It's so cute." Huang Er's eyes flashed and he looked at Qiqi with a smile.
"Yes, Qiqi is cute and well-behaved. Everyone in our village has liked her from old to young." Talking about Qiqi, Taohua's tone became more natural, "There was a time when my dad wanted to snatch Qiqi over and raise her."
Thinking of her father scratching his heart and lungs at home every day during that time, Taohua still finds it interesting.
In her memory, her father was a big man, serious and upright. That was the first time she saw her father secretly trying to steal someone from her aunt.
In the end, although she still didn't dare to compete with her aunt, her father would coax Qiqi to come home and play if he got the chance.
What's strange is that since Qiqi arrived, her mother's long-term illness seems to have gradually improved.
In the past, I could not do without Chinese medicine throughout the day, and I could often hear a suppressed cough in the middle of the night.
But now the smell of traditional Chinese medicine has not appeared in the house for a long time, and even the sound of coughing has not been heard for a long time.
Taohua hugged the baby in her arms tighter and touched her little face intimately. She noticed that the baby's face was a bit cold, so Taohua hugged the baby tighter again.
In the middle of the year, many people in the village secretly said that Qiqi was blessed. Since she came to Taoxi Village, the situation in the village has been getting better day by day, and hope can be seen every day.
Peach Blossom deeply agrees.
Qiqi is a blessed child, and they are also blessed.
However, everyone in the village likes Qiqi, not because Qiqi is lucky, but because Qiqi itself is very popular.
Such a sweet and sensible baby makes people like her and feel heartbroken.
"Sister Taohua, you are hugging her so tightly that Qiqi can hardly breathe." A soft protest came from the little baby's arms, and her big eyes exposed outside her hat and scarf were smiling crookedly.
Taohua adjusted her scarf to prevent it from blocking the baby's little nose and suffocating it, "You have to hug her so tightly, otherwise my sister is afraid that Qiqi will slip away."
The baby giggled.
Huang Er watched the intimate interaction between the two from behind, his eyes twinkling more and more.
It takes less than five minutes to get to the library from Chen's house. It's very close.
Walking out of the yard, turn a corner and walk to the opposite side of the road to the grain drying farm. At a glance, you can see the building with white walls and black tiles in the back.
Snowflakes are fluttering in the sky, and a layer of white is spread on the black tiles. The architectural style is full of magnolia, which makes people feel like they have stepped into the ink painting of Jiangnan.
The library door was open at this time, but there was no one in the library for the time being.
On New Year's Eve, the children went crazy playing, and the adults reunited and chatted with their families at home, so the library became deserted.
Peach Blossom takes Huang Er into the library.
Even during the day, the lights are on in the library, so that people who come to read can read and study under enough light at any time.
It was Huang Er's first time here. Even though he had heard people mention the Taoxi Village Library many times, it was not as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes.
The walls are covered with books.
There are also high-end solid wood long desks, solid wood steps, and various craft ornaments that are not seen in country people's homes...
The price of each item is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Grandpa is not coming to the library today, Sister Taohua, I'm going to clean the counter." Qiqi struggled to get off the ground, and Dengden ran into the agency store, took the feather duster in the corner and started dusting the inside and outside.
Careful and meticulous, the small figure is particularly endearing in the eyes of adults.
Taohua laughed, picked up the clean rag placed under the wall of the library, and wiped the bookshelf and desk.
"You can sit here and read a book." While working, Taohua said to the young man who was standing there looking a little at a loss.
Huang Er did not sit down, but picked up a broom to help sweep the floor, "Do you usually help clean this library?"
"No, everyone in the village will come to help with cleaning when they have time." When talking about things in her village, Taohua is more talkative, and her tone is more natural and friendly, "Every household in our village has children, and when nothing happens, they usually
I like to come here to read and play in the amusement park, so the cleaning staff in the library do all the cleaning. There is no fixed rule for who does the cleaning, it’s all done on their own initiative.”
This is the library of their Taoxi Village. It can also be said to be the place where the children in the village hope to continue reading. It is a matter of course for the villagers to clean it up and make the reading environment more comfortable for the children.
Everyone in Taoxi Village loves the library from the bottom of their hearts. Even the playful and naughty children will be careful when reading and try not to get the books dirty or damaged.
While the two were talking, they didn't notice the little kid behind the counter. He was cleaning and listening quietly to the conversation between the two.
Dandan was floating in the sky, staring at the little kid whose eyes were shining brightly when he was eavesdropping, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
Even he didn't know when the little kid got the bad habit of listening to the corner.
Who taught him bad things?
"Huh?" Seeing that the two adults who were cleaning suddenly walked away and went to the other corner to talk, Qi Qi's little face felt a little resentful, "Qi Qi can't hear her when they are so far away... Dandan,
Sister Taohua, what are they talking about? Qiqi wants to help with the eyes, if you don’t hear what they say, you won’t be able to use the eyes!"
Eggy, "..."
You are such a clever little person.
All these reasons can be given.
"The man said that his family has been looking forward to him getting married as soon as possible. If the two families decide, he hopes that the marriage will happen as soon as possible, preferably before the spring planting."
"The woman said she was not ready. She had to help her family sow and transplant rice seedlings during the spring sowing, and she also had to raise watermelon seedlings. She didn't have time."
"The man also said that he had liked Chen Taohua for a long time, but his family used to be poor and the environment was not good, so he didn't dare to come to her. He said that after getting married, he would treat Chen Taohua well."
He grumbled in his mind and acted like a announcer in action. Dandan didn't feel anything wrong with his duplicitous behavior.
Qiqi stared at her round eyes and said, "I knew that Sister Taohua is good-looking and a nice person, how could no one like her?"
"Tsk, kid, you're still too young. Such words sound like quotes from a scumbag." Dandan emphasized his tone and started teaching mode again, "The man said that his family used to be poor and the environment was not good, so he didn't come to his door.
, this is just a nice excuse. If you don’t believe me, just ask, is his family rich now? The environment is better? If he were really rich and had a good environment, he wouldn’t come to you, Sister Taohua."
"Why?"
"Of course I am looking for someone who is younger and more good-looking. How can there be a reason for this? Men are all this virtuous."
