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

Chapter 85 Gift
Tao Qiuyi is not an unreasonable person. When others show kindness to her, she will naturally respond with kindness, for example, her fourth uncle and aunt, the team leader, Aunt Hehua, Uncle Li and others.

Similarly, if others treat her with malice, she will definitely respond with malice, such as Li Hongying, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wang Chunjuan, mother and daughter, etc.

She didn't like owing favors to others, so she invited Uncle Li to have dinner at the state-owned restaurant to compensate him for the fright he had received on the way to the town.

"Uncle Li, you're welcome." Tao Qiuyi said, "You drove the ox cart to bring us to town. You've worked hard. It's only right that I treat you to a meal."

"What should I do? You rent the brigade's ox cart, and I am the one driving the cart. It is my job to take you to the town." Uncle Li thought it was great that Jing Yuan married this daughter-in-law. She spoke well and was sensible.

Wei Jingyuan watched Tao Qiuyi being polite to Uncle Li, and he suddenly realized that as long as this woman was willing, she could restrain her temper, be polite and courteous to you, and make people like her even more.

Uncle Li is the best example.

I just said a lot of good things about her to him.

Tao Qiuyi whispered to Wei Jingyuan, "You and Uncle Li go to the oxcart first. I'll go to the toilet and come back."

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Wei Jingyuan asked.

"You...you are accompanying...accompanying me for what?" Tao Qiu was so shocked that he stuttered.

Wei Jingyuan looked at her speechlessly. Of course he was guarding the door for her. What else could he do? He had been to the restroom in this state-owned hotel before. It had no door, only a piece of cloth covering it.

"Just pretend I didn't ask." Wei Jingyuan was about to leave with his cane when Tao Qiuyi grabbed his arm again. He asked, "Anything else?"

"Tell me clearly, what exactly do you mean?" Tao Qiuyi's intuition told him that he must have something unsaid.

"It's boring. You should go quickly. Uncle Li and I will be waiting for you over there by the ox cart." Wei Jingyuan broke free from her hand and went out first with his crutch.

Uncle Li was already waiting by the ox cart.

Looking at Wei Jingyuan's back, Tao Qiuyi frowned, not wasting time worrying about it. After all, she didn't really need to go to the bathroom. She went to the counter and bought thirty large meat buns. She asked the waiter to pack them separately, fifteen in the ring space and fifteen in the backpack.

By the time Tao Qiuyi walked out of the state-owned hotel, Wei Jingyuan had already climbed onto the ox cart and sat down. Tao Qiuyi had to grab his clothes and jump off the cart.

Just experience it once.

Seeing him so aware, Tao Qiuyi felt relieved. He climbed onto the ox cart with the backpack on his back, put it down and sat down next to Wei Jingyuan.

When the ox cart passed by the door of the scrap station, Tao Qiuyi asked Uncle Li to stop. She stood up and prepared to get off the ox cart, but her wrist was held by the big hand of the person next to her.

"Where are you going?" Wei Jingyuan asked calmly.

Tao Qiuyi glanced at Uncle Li, who was driving the car in front of him, and pointed at the entrance of the scrap yard. "I'm going in to buy some scrap books."

Wei Jingyuan almost immediately understood what book she was going to buy. He wanted to stop her, but then he changed his mind and gave up. He could stop her this time because he was by her side, but how could he stop her next time when he was not by her side?

"Go quickly and come back soon." Wei Jingyuan let go of his hand.

"Okay." After saying that, Tao Qiuyi jumped off the ox cart.

Since he didn't stop her, Tao Qiuyi took it as his tacit consent to her buying him junior high school textbooks.

When Tao Qiuyi entered the scrap yard, he saw Mr. Qi sitting on a recliner with his eyes closed. There was a charcoal basin next to him with wood burning in it, and a pot with water boiling in it on top of it.

"Mr. Qi, you look so relaxed. Have you had lunch?" Tao Qiuyi greeted him. Hearing the voice, Mr. Qi opened his eyes, saw that it was her, and stood up quickly. "Miss, why are you here?"

"I'm here to find some books." Tao Qiuyi glanced around, making sure no one else was around, then explained his purpose. "I'm not using the high school textbooks I bought yesterday, so I came here today to ask Xiaoshun to find me some junior high textbooks."

After saying this, Tao Qiuyi thought of something and asked again.

"Yes." Mr. Qi smiled and said, "No problem, sit here for a while, I'll go inside and call Xiaoshun to help you find the book."

Tao Qiuyi stopped Mr. Qi and said, "I'd better go in and ask Xiaoshun to find the book myself."

"Okay." Old Master Qi didn't bother to be polite with her. He watched her walk into the warehouse. Instead of sitting back on the recliner, he took out a cup from the cabinet, picked up the kettle, poured half a cup of water into it and put it aside to cool.

"Filial piety." Tao Qiuyi found Xiaoshun on the pile of books in the warehouse with familiarity.

Xiaoshun heard someone calling him. The soft and clear voice was very familiar. He looked up and saw Tao Qiuyi. His eyes lit up. "Sister."

"Sister, sister, you're here." Xiaoshun put down his book and ran to Tao Qiuyi, his face and eyes filled with joy. "Sister, the pills you gave me and grandpa to nourish our bodies are so effective. Grandpa and I took one today, and we both feel much better today than yesterday."

"Thank you, sister. You are so kind." He suddenly thought of something and reached out to gently pull the corner of Tao Qiuyi's clothes. "Sister, come with me. I have something to give you."

Tao Qiuyi followed him, and the two came to the innermost part. Xiaoshun moved some books away, revealing several calligraphy and paintings inside.

"Did you look for it specially?" Tao Qiuyi looked at Xiaoshun in surprise.

"Yeah." Xiaoshun nodded, bent down and took out the calligraphy and paintings, placed them in front of Tao Qiuyi, and whispered with his head tilted up, "I saw that my sister liked this yesterday, so I searched for it this morning and found these."

"To my sister. Thank you for the pills that nourished me and grandpa, and... and the flour you left for me yesterday."

Speaking of this, Xiaoshun's face slowly turned red with embarrassment.

"Okay, I'll accept it then." Tao Qiuyi accepted it all generously and patted Xiaoshun on the shoulder. "Thank you for the gift from Xiaoshun. I like it very much."

"Xiaoshun, I came here today to ask you to help me find some more junior high school textbooks. Please hurry up, there are people waiting for me outside, and I don't want to keep them waiting too long."

"Sister wants to find junior high school textbooks." Xiaoshun confirmed.

"Yes, please be quick." Tao Qiuyi nodded.

"It's not a problem. Please wait a moment, sister. I'll get it for you now." Xiaoshun said and turned to walk to the other side.

He said to go get it, not to help her find it immediately. Tao Qiuyi turned around and looked at Xiaoshun's back. She saw Xiaoshun picking and choosing among a pile of books, and soon came back with more than a dozen books.

"These are all." Xiaoshun put the book in front of Tao Qiuyi.

Tao Qiuyi squatted down, picked up a book, flipped through a few pages, and confirmed that it was the junior high school textbook she wanted. She asked Xiaoshun, "Can I take them all?"

"Sure." Xiaoshun smiled happily and helped her pick up the textbooks. Tao Qiuyi took the calligraphy and paintings. Xiaoshun walked out while reminding Tao Qiuyi, "Sister, remember to hide those calligraphy and paintings when you go out."

"Okay." Tao Qiuyi smiled and thanked him for the reminder.
