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

Chapter 226 Trophies

It was not yet dark, and there was a fire burning in the fireplace, so it was bright even without the oil lamp.

Four people were eating dinner around a square table. In the middle of the table were two bowls, one large and one small. The small bowl contained scrambled eggs, the large bowl contained stir-fried shredded radish, and the basin contained dumpling soup.

Wei Jingyuan put an egg in Tao Qiuyi's bowl. Tao Qiuyi looked at him, said nothing, and ate it.

Once there is one, there will be two, and once there are two, there will be three. Tao Qiuyi ate them all. Then she saw that Wei Jingyuan himself was eating shredded radish, and the same was true for Li Zi and Xiao Huai.

When Wei Jingyuan put the egg in Tao Qiuyi's bowl for the fourth time, Tao Qiuyi got angry. She took her bowl away and her eyes passed from Li Zi and Xiao Huai's faces, finally settling on Wei Jingyuan's face.

"What are you doing?" Tao Qiuyi asked in a calm voice.

The three siblings didn't understand what Tao Qiuyi was asking and looked at her in confusion.

"Scrambled eggs are not as delicious as fried shredded radish?" Tao Qiuyi asked again, looking at Li Zi and Xiao Huai.

Li Zi and Xiao Huai didn't understand what she meant yet, and just shook their heads instinctively.

If Wei Jingyuan still didn't understand what she meant at this moment, he would be a fool. She explained, "Eggs are delicious, but I hope you eat more because you work harder than us."

Li Zi and Xiao Huai nodded in agreement. What they didn't say was that the scrambled eggs tonight were for their sister-in-law.

Tao Qiuyi was both angry and touched, but she still felt that the family shouldn't be like this.

"Wei Jingyuan, Li Zi, Xiao Huai," Tao Qiuyi said, calling out their names one by one. "I hope you can understand one thing: the most important thing for a family is sharing, not just one person eating all the food."

"There's scrambled eggs in the bowl. Divide them among you three."

Li Zi and Xiao Huai looked at their eldest brother. Wei Jingyuan had no choice but to pick up the bowl of scrambled eggs. He first distributed the scrambled eggs to his younger siblings, then put a piece into Tao Qiuyi's bowl, and finally put some into his own bowl.

After watching them eat the eggs, Tao Qiuyi picked up a piece of fried shredded radish with chopsticks and continued eating with satisfaction.

Suddenly, Tao Qiuyi remembered that when he came back, he saw Li Zi and Zhou Mei standing at the gate of the yard, and Li Zi's angry expression that dared not to speak.

"Li Zi, why are you standing at the door with your aunt?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

Li Zi, who was concentrating on drinking the pimple soup, was startled and swallowed the pimple soup in her mouth. She looked up at Tao Qiuyi and said, "It was my aunt who insisted on standing at the door with me."

Must, Wei Jingyuan and Xiao Huai grasped these two words at the same time, looking at Li Zi with different thoughts in their minds.

Wei Jingyuan also recalled Li Zi's expression, and his thoughts were similar to Tao Qiuyi's. He felt that his aunt had insisted on standing with Li Zi, and she must have something to say to her.

Xiao Huai felt very guilty. He hadn't kept an eye on Li Zi for a while, and his aunt had gone after him again.

"What did she say to you?" Tao Qiuyi asked again. He insisted on standing with Li Zi, so he must have something to say to Li Zi.

"Sister-in-law, how do you know that my aunt talked to me?" Li Zi asked in surprise.

Wei Jingyuan and Xiao Huai both had indescribable expressions on their faces.

"Your expression, angry but unable to speak, clearly shows that your aunt said something that made you unhappy." Tao Qiuyi smiled and coaxed, "Tell me what you think will make me happy."

Li Zi curled her lips and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not happy anymore, how can you still be happy?"

"Because we have different mindsets and different attitudes towards things," Tao Qiuyi replied as a matter of course. Li Zi didn't understand what he was saying, but she had a different mindset and a different attitude.

Seeing Li Zi's puzzled expression, Tao Qiuyi comforted her and said, "You don't understand now, but you will understand later. Don't think about it, just eat."

Li Zi nodded obediently, thinking that if she didn't understand now, she certainly wouldn't understand in the future. Sometimes she really couldn't understand what her sister-in-law said, and there was nothing she could do!

Wei Jingyuan and Xiao Huai didn't say a word during the whole process, they just acted as listeners.

Had dinner.

Lizi and Xiaohuai cleared the table and washed the dishes. Tao Qiuyi told them to return to their room to study after they were done. She called Wei Jingyuan over to the room she and Lizi shared, bringing the basket of herbs with her as a cover.

Tao Qiuyi walked into the house first and put down the backpack. She took two straw mats and placed them on the ground. She sat on one and placed the other opposite her.

He looked up and saw Wei Jingyuan standing at the door, and said, "Wei Jingyuan, close the door."

Wei Jingyuan turned around and closed the door.

While he was closing the door, Tao Qiuyi took out two knives and three guns from her ring and placed them on the ground. She also kept a gun in her ring in case of emergency.

After closing the door and turning around, Wei Jingyuan was about to say something when he saw the knife and gun on the ground. His eyes suddenly narrowed. He took two steps at a time and walked over, glancing at the knife and gun on the ground, then looked at Tao Qiuyi with a questioning look.

"This is the trophy I told you I'd show you on the way back." Pointing to the straw mat across from him, Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan. "Sit down and talk."

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Wei Jingyuan sat down on the straw mat opposite.

He looked at the knife and gun on the ground with a cold expression.

Tao Qiuyi picked up a knife and decided to start the conversation with it. He handed the knife to Wei Jingyuan and said, "I found this behind Mr. Jiang's medicine cabinet last time. That person was holding Mr. Jiang hostage with this knife."

"I rescued Mr. Jiang, knocked the man unconscious and tied him up, and secretly took the knife away."

"That man wanted to kill Elder Jiang." Wei Jingyuan took the knife, feeling unspeakable. She hadn't told him the details of what happened that day, and he hadn't asked.

It turned out that at that time, Mr. Jiang's life was hanging by a thread.

"He doesn't necessarily want to kill Old Jiang. He may also want to hold Old Jiang hostage. After all, Old Jiang's medical skills are there." Tao Qiuyi picked up another knife and handed it to Wei Jingyuan.

"I brought this knife back from the mountain today. The man holding the knife is the deputy captain of those people. I think that if they have a deputy captain, they must also have a captain."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you today that the four people I met on the road were wearing military uniforms and had their faces covered with cloth."

Taking the knife she handed him, Wei Jingyuan's expression was grave. "As long as they have connections, it wouldn't be difficult for them to get a military uniform. They're wearing uniforms and pretending to be soldiers to confuse the public and facilitate their actions."

"I think so too." Tao Qiuyi nodded and said, "Didn't I tell you? When they saw me, they said they were soldiers and lied to me that the boy was a spy."

Speaking of this, Tao Qiuyi wanted to laugh. Those people took her for a country girl who had never seen the world and tricked her. She played along with them and tricked them into a daze.

In the end, it was easy to kill them without much effort.

Wei Jingyuan didn't say anything. He held the two knives and compared them, comparing the tip, blade, back, and even the handle one by one.

Seeing his serious expression, Tao Qiuyi found it pleasing to the eye. Who said that serious women are the most attractive? In her opinion, when men are serious, they are just as charming as women.
