Chapter 19: He protects her, she protects him (1/2)
”Come on, I'll teach you to write your name!” Taozhi picked up the pencil: ”I asked Teacher Liu in the village to teach me some of the books that Xia Taohua lost in the past.”
”Think about it, it's been two years since he died.”
Taozhi has Xie Yan's name written on it, and she used to go to Teacher Liu's house often.
At the age of seventy, he is the oldest old man in the village.
He knew a lot of characters, and in the 1930s, he was a great writer, wrote many poetry collections, and was the most learned person in the village.
But his wife was killed by the invaders in that era. After liberation, he returned to the village and lived alone.
She would use her free time to help him farm the fields. Although he was indifferent, he would occasionally teach her something.
He always said that girls should not be too smart, because his wife was very tired because she was too smart.
Taozhi can use this to explain why he can write.
She looked at Xie Yan's hand: ”follow me.”
Xie Yan snorted obediently, stared at her hand, and when she stared at her, she felt that her fingers were beautiful, but they were rough, which should be the reason for frequent work.
The originally slender fingers had some small wounds on them.
”Have you seen it?” Taozhi looked at him and showed him the two words she had written.
Xie Yan stared at these two words, he stared blankly: ”You wrote it so well.”
At that moment he felt that what he had written was nothing.
The words Xie Yan are so beautiful and neat, as if they were printed on a book.
He clenched the pencil tightly, the peach branch was amazing.
”Is it?” Taozhi gave him her paper: ”This is the result of training. I have to write it 11,000 times to write it like this. Don't worry, because if you work hard, you can do it.”
Xie Yan's black eyes looked at her, they were very close and far away.
He nodded firmly: ”I will study hard! Teacher Xia!”
Taozhi couldn't help laughing: ”Then come on, Xie Xiaoyan.”
Xie Yan couldn't help hooking the corner of his mouth. He lowered his head and was about to write when he heard a knock on the door of Taozhi's house.
Because he belongs to the back door here, with the back mountain behind him, he is not worried about being discovered.
After all, the place where Taozhi slept was a little far from the room where they slept.
”Xia Taozhi, come out.”
Taozhi was too lazy to talk about it. It was Xia Taohua who was talking. She stayed at home for some reason today and didn't go back to her house.
Not too far from a village, she just stopped.
Brother Ming, who is usually inseparable from her, is really strange today.
Of course, she also complained in her heart, after all, this is Xia Taohua's home, and it has nothing to do with her whether she can come back.
Xia Taohua scolded at the door: ”Xia Taozhi, can't you come out? If you don't come out, I'll set you on fire!”
Taozhi was speechless, she said to the door: ”Xia Taohua, why are you crazy in the middle of the night?”
Xia Taohua's voice was furious: ”Xia Taozhi, I heard Zhou Wenfang say, you told Aunt Huang that I seduced Liu Shuming, come out and see if I don't tear your mouth!”
”What is it?” Taohua looked at Xie Yan: ”Go back first, this Xia Taohua is crazy and bites people.”
”I'll help you...” Xie Yan frowned.
”No.” Taozhi looked at him: ”I can solve it myself.”
Xie Yan nodded. He thought of something and said, ”Liu Shuming went out today, and he went out with Liu Guizhuang. It should be the person who went to the city to pick up the censorship.”
Taozhi's eyes flashed with a hint of deepness: ”That's it.”
No wonder Xia Taohua didn't go back, because Liu Shuming was not at home.
”Peach branch.” Xie Yan looked at her seriously: ”I know you have been injustice these years, and I know that God is not fair to you.”
”But I think you shouldn't be full of despair in this world because of temporary pain. Sometimes I think it's good to be alive, because the earth is rotating, and a person can't stay in that air forever, and it's impossible Bad luck forever.”
”People like you will definitely be blessed.”
”so…”
”If you can leave the Xia family, don't hesitate. If you choose me, I won't let you lose.”
His eyes were serious, Taozhi looked at him like this, reached out and hooked his little finger: ”Xie Yan, if you...”
If she had said this earlier in her previous life and had awakened earlier, she would not have gone backwards.
He approached step by step, but she didn't take a step forward.
She thought he was a badass, and he thought it was her rejection.
In fact, there is a lack of communication. Look at it now, he understands when she says it.
As soon as he said it, she understood.
Xie Yan's thin lips pursed slightly: ”It's not too late now.”
Taozhi smiled: ”Yes, it's not too late now.”
Taozhi waved at him: ”Go back quickly, I'll deal with Xia Taohua.”
Xie Yan looked at the paper on which she had written her name: ”Can you give this to me?”
Taozhi gave him the paper and the pen: ”Here you, if you have time to practice, I will do a random check.”
In front of Xie Yan, she can always relax.
”Okay.” Xie Yan nodded, folded the piece of paper on which she wrote her name, and put it carefully in her pocket.
”Then I'm going back.”
”Well, let's go.” Taozhi put away everything.
Xie Yan looked at her with some probing in his eyes: ”I'll go to see old man Xia tomorrow.”
