Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 199 Brother-in-law Tao

Passing by the gate of a courtyard crowded with people, Tao Qiuyi had no intention of joining in the fun. He just glanced casually and prepared to leave.

At that moment, she spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. Pulling the brakes to stop her bike, Tao Qiuyi shouted across the street to the crowd, "Filial piety."

Hearing the voice, the little figure in the crowd turned around and saw that the person calling him was Tao Qiuyi. His eyes lit up with joy.

"Sister Tao." Xiaoshun quickly squeezed out of the crowd and came to Tao Qiuyi. He smiled and called out again, "Sister Tao."

"What are you doing here?" Tao Qiuyi asked. Without waiting for Xiaoshun's answer, he glanced at the crowd gathered at the gate of the courtyard across the road. "What are those people looking at? What's going on inside?"

"Those people were watching the excitement, while they were searching inside." Xiaoshun replied, "The comrades from the organizing committee came to the scrap yard to notify Grandpa to come and collect the scrap. I came here on his behalf to collect the scrap."

Xiaoshun's smile faded, and his voice wasn't as brisk as when he saw Tao Qiuyi. But his words were concise and clear, and both Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan understood.

Organizing Committee? Wei Jingyuan felt a wave of unease when he thought of those people. While they hadn't yet infiltrated the military, many of the researchers brought back from abroad had already suffered.

Tao Qiuyi was talking to Xiaoshun at the moment and didn't notice Wei Jingyuan.

She reached out and pinched Xiaoshun's arm, then asked jokingly, "You're here to collect waste on behalf of your grandfather. With your small body, can you lift the waste and pull the cart?"

"Of course I can." Xiaoshun waved his arms and said gratefully, "Sister, I'm in good health now and my strength has increased a lot. It's all thanks to Sister Tao. Grandpa and I are especially grateful to Sister Tao."

"Let's not talk about that nonsense." Waving his hand, Tao Qiuyi asked again: "Since you are here to collect waste, why are you standing here in the cold wind?"

Xiaoshun glanced back at the courtyard gate. "The comrades are still inside searching for evidence. After they finish their search and leave, I'll go in and collect the scrap, then use a cart to transport it back to the scrap yard."

Tao Qiuyi didn't know what the organizing committee was, but she did know about the storm. Those people were just a bunch of idle hooligans.

None of them is a good person, and they are fearless and have harmed many people.

Seeing that his sister stopped asking questions, Xiaoshun finally noticed the man sitting on the back of his sister's bicycle and asked, "Sister Tao, who is this brother?"

"Him..." Tao Qiuyi was a little speechless for a moment. If she called him her husband, they hadn't obtained a marriage certificate. If she called him her boyfriend, she lived in his house and agreed to get a marriage certificate with him.

Finally she said, "He is my sister's fiancé."

"Fiancé." Xiaoshun was stunned, then clapped his hands, "Ah, I see, he is Sister Tao's man, so should I call him Brother-in-law Tao from now on?"

Xiaoshun likes reading and reads all kinds of books in the scrap yard. Although he is young, he still knows what a fiancé means.

Brother-in-law is brother-in-law, why call him Brother-in-law Tao? Tao Qiuyi was embarrassed. Being filial and adding the word "Tao" before "brother-in-law" was like marking her as Tao Qiuyi on Wei Jingyuan.

"Yes." Wei Jingyuan liked him calling him that, proving he was closer to Qiu Yi. He got off his bike, squatted down to look Xiaoshun in the eye, and extended his big hand to Xiaoshun.

"Hello, my name is Wei Jingyuan, and your name is Xiaoshun?"

After a brief moment of shock, Xiao Shun's heart was filled with ecstasy, and he immediately shook Wei Jingyuan's big hand. He introduced himself, "Yes, Brother-in-law Tao, my name is Xiao Shun, Xiao in the sense of big and small, and Shun in the sense of Yao Feng Shun Yu."

He likes to be treated like an adult.

"Hello, Xiaoshun." Wei Jingyuan knew the idiom "Yao Feng Shun Yu" (meaning "Yao Feng Shun Yu"), which appeared in books and was used to describe a peaceful and prosperous era. Therefore, the child was named Xiaoshun, not Qiu Yi's filial piety name. "Hello, Brother-in-law Tao." Xiaoshun smiled brightly. "Brother-in-law Tao, you are so handsome, and Sister Tao is also beautiful. The two of you sitting together look like a picture."

"Thank you." After just two words, Wei Jingyuan realized that Xiaoshun was not ordinary. He stood up and looked at Tao Qiuyi. How could she call someone Xiaoshun as filial piety?
Tao Qiuyi was suddenly confused when Wei Jingyuan looked at her. "You two are having a pleasant chat, why are you looking at me?"

"Xiaoshun is very smart." Wei Jingyuan answered the question irrelevantly.

"We are not only filial but also smart. We also have a good foundation in Chinese." Tao Qiuyi smiled proudly.

She was able to introduce herself as Yao Feng Shun Yu, and she also said that she and Wei Jingyuan sitting together looked like a painting. All these signs are enough to show that she has a strong cultural foundation in filial piety.

Next time, bring your twins over to play with Xiaoshun. Maybe it will be helpful for your future essay writing.

Tao Qiuyi was thinking in his mind.

The people gathered at the courtyard gate retreated, and four people walked out. All four of them had arrogant expressions on their faces, and their eyes were full of arrogance and gloom.

Two people walked in front, and two people followed behind carrying a box.

The four of them left the courtyard. One of the two in front stopped, and the other took the two people carrying the boxes away. The one who stopped waved his hand and sent the onlookers away.

After looking around, his eyes fixed on Xiaoshun across the street, and he shouted, "Hey, little boy, aren't you here to collect scrap?"

"Come here quickly, I have something to tell you."

"Oh, what a pity." Before Xiaoshun could even speak, Tao Qiuyi said, "He looks like a decent person, but he can't speak human language or do human things."

"You're really good at judging people." Wei Jingyuan nodded in agreement.

Tao Qiuyi raised an eyebrow and looked at him. Could it be that he also had a bad impression of those people? She saw the undisguised disgust in Wei Jingyuan's eyes.

She was silent.

Xiaoshun also nodded secretly. It was not the first time for him to deal with those people since he followed his grandfather to work at the scrap yard.

I do understand the temperament of those people. It's just like what Sister Tao said: they dress like humans, but they can't speak human language and they don't do human things.

The man's face darkened, and he said impatiently, "Little boy, I'm calling you, did you hear me? Your grandfather asked you to come out to work, why didn't you wait at the door and run all the way here?"

"I'm coming." Xiaoshun responded and trotted across the street to the man.

Tao Qiuyi was about to go over when Wei Jingyuan stopped him, "Xiaoshun is very smart and won't necessarily suffer a loss. Let's act according to the situation."

The man scolded Xiaoshun and threatened to tell his grandfather about his poor work attitude. Xiaoshun kept his head down the whole time, looking like he was letting it go.

Seeing Xiaoshun admit his mistake with a positive attitude, the man stopped scolding him and asked, "Who are those two people talking to you?"

"Yes...I just wanted to ask for directions." Xiaoshun answered, his low voice revealing a bit of fear.

It's good to be afraid. Only when you know fear can you control yourself and obey. The man nodded in satisfaction, whispered a few words in Xiaoshun's ear, and then walked away in a swagger.
