Chapter 24: Xie Yan saved her again (1/2)
Many aunties showed very strange expressions, what happened to these people?
They are not usually so active.
Now it's even louder applause.
Taozhi was already laughing out loud in her heart. She is a female representative, and all the people who applaud her are men. This is so strange.
”Okay, everyone remember that Comrade Xia Taozhi's job is to cooperate with the above to convey information to us and strive for our interests, so everyone should cooperate with the work and not cause her trouble.”
”That's it, let's continue to eat.”
After Chen Zhishu finished speaking, he went to make a meal with a smile.
Taozhi also went to cook rice, and now she also has a job that includes food and shelter.
She could feel the eyes coming from not far away, it was Luo Cuilian's family. Apparently, they were very surprised that they had suddenly become village officials.
Taozhi was sitting in a special position, and she also saw Liu Guizhuang, he looked at him with a look in his eyes, and he quickly grabbed the rice after looking at it for a long time.
After eating, Taozhi went to the office, and her office had a table and a stool next to Chen Zhishu.
Because the place in this village is small, there is not so much attention to it.
Her job in the village is very simple. No one is looking for her, so she can just read a book when she has nothing to do.
After get off work, Taozhi didn't go home, but took advantage of this time to plant the grain that Song Xiaoxi gave her to the field.
She found a piece of land closer to the office. Before, grain seeds were planted here, but because it was broken, it was deserted.
This time, the grains were not planted here, and she happened to have a piece of land.
He hoeed the ground, scooped the ground with water, found film and bamboo pieces, and planted the grain.
She was busy until late at night, and no one knew that she was still farming here.
Tired, but satisfied.
On the way home, she remembered that she had inquired with Chen Zhishu today, and the examiners will come to the village tomorrow.
By that time, the school's affairs will be fully implemented.
Xia Taohua is not here, she sees if she can get close to them.
Taozhi was stopped by someone as soon as she walked under the big tree not far from home.
Seeing that she was intact, Xie Yan finally stabilized his anxious look. He held her arm and trembled a little: ”Why did you go? I couldn't find you anywhere.”
Taozhi blinked: ”I'm growing grain in the hills.”
Xie Yan listened to her words and was a little annoyed. He went to the stove and Shibatian, and he went to Ercun, but he didn't see her.
Who knew she was on a hill not far from the brigade square—
”You'll be fine.” He didn't ask more, but only he knew his anxiety.
Seeing that she was all right, he was relieved.
Came to her door and squatted all afternoon...
His tone became cautious: ”What are you going to plant next time, if you are alone, you can ask me for help, can you see?”
If someone else is there, she may be a little uncomfortable, but if it's her and herself, it should be fine.
Taozhi nodded: ”Okay.”
It's really troublesome for her to farm alone today.
But she didn't expect Xie Yan, she had been alone for a long time and was not used to relying on others.
Xie Yan let go of her and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked in the direction of her house and whispered, ”There's someone in your house, be careful, you can come to me if you have anything, can you hear me?”
”Okay.” Taozhi looked over there: ”Okay, I'll take a look.”
She was about to leave when she found that Xie Yan was still standing under the tree, she stopped and looked at him: ”Xie Yan.”
”Huh?” Xie Yan looked at her and hesitated.
Taozhi put her hands behind her back and looked at him with a smile: ”Do you have anything else to say?”
There was a touch of caution in Xie Yan's black eyes, his hands were slightly rolled up in his cuffs, and he looked up at her: ”You said before, come home with me and teach me to write...”
However, he waited for her for a day yesterday, and waited for her for a day today, but she didn't come.
Taozhi was stunned when she heard the words. She patted her head and quickly walked up to him to apologize: ”I'm sorry, I forgot, because there are too many things.”
Taozhi looked at his face and reached out to hold him: ”I'm sorry.”
Xie Yan took her hand: ”I didn't mean to blame you, I just thought... I might...”
He scratched his head blushing, his eyes looking at the sky and at the leaves: ”I may like you too much, I think you can give me a little time.”
Taozhi's heart softened, how could she refuse such Xie Yan?
”good.”
She reached into her pocket and took out a pen from it: ”This is for you.”
”In the future, if I fail to make an appointment, I will buy you a present.”
Xie Yan put a pen in her hand. The quality of the pen is very good, and you can tell that it is not cheap when you touch it.
It's a men's, blue and strong...
He didn't know what language to use to describe it. All in all, it was the best gift he had ever received.
His thin lips pursed slightly: ”Peach branch, I don't want this thing, I can't write, you keep it...”
Taozhi suddenly took out a red pen: ”One blue and one red, for lovers.”
”Couple?” Xie Yan stared at her smile, his eyes stained with joy, he clenched her hand: ”Xia Taozhi, you figured it out, you will be my partner in the future, keep your distance from others!”
Taozhi nodded obediently: ”Yes, yes, Xia Taozhi is Xie Yan's object and will never get too close to others.”
Xie Yan was satisfied, he put away the pen carefully.
Taozhi thought of something, and took out a bottle of ink from his pocket: ”Here, practice calligraphy!”
Xie Yan looked at her pocket, how could she have everything?
Last time, she also took out the sugar from it, and it didn't have any bulge, how could she still take out the ink?
He was puzzled, but didn't think much about it: ”Okay.”
He thought about what gift to give her...
It seems that the educated youth from the city now especially like nice hats.
And scarves…
”Then I'll go.” Taozhi touched the calluses in his palm. His hands were rough, but clean.
Xie Yan nodded, the blush on his face had faded, he thought, it wasn't so difficult to say that he liked her in front of Xia Taozhi.
Taozhi said goodbye to him and stuffed the pen back into the space. When she walked to the house, Luo Cuilian had been waiting for her in the yard. When she saw her appear, she stared at Xia Taozhi, but said nothing.
Taozhi didn't see anyone else, didn't Xie Yan say that someone came from the family?
Why didn't you see it.
With thought in her heart, she pushed the door open and entered the room.
The room was still the same as when she went out. She blocked the door, walked to her bed and sat down.
Because she was a little tired, she wanted to take a shower but couldn't go out to boil water. She always felt that Luo Cuilian... had a bit of murderous intent.
She poured cold water into the basin and wiped her face and body casually.
After washing her feet, she lay on the bed. Because she was too tired, she closed her eyes and planned to sleep, and then she really fell asleep.
She was choked awake, her room surrounded by thick smoke.
Taozhi couldn't help but suspect that Luo Cuilian wanted to burn her to death.
She hurriedly dampened a towel with water and covered her nose. She went to fetch the stick from the top door. Who knew that the door was locked from the outside, and she couldn't open it with all her strength.
”Help!”
”Help!”
Taozhi shouted, but no one appeared.
It's about three o'clock in the morning now, and everyone in every household is fast asleep, and it's useless to call her.
