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

Chapter 93 My sister is very powerful

There was no entertainment in the dark night.

After distributing the clothes he bought to everyone, Tao Qiuyi asked Li Zi and Xiao Huai to study together, and then said that he was going out for a while.

When he heard her say she was going out for a while, Wei Jingyuan frowned and asked, "Where are you going in the dark at night?"

Tao Qiuyi originally wanted to tell him directly that she was going to the big bamboo forest to see her grandfather and the little girl Chen Hanying who was bitten by a snake, but then she changed her mind and decided to forget it. She and Wei Jingyuan had only known each other for a few days, so there was no need to tell him everything.

"Go to the bathroom." Tao Qiuyi said this in a bad mood and turned to walk out.

She wasn't really going to the toilet, but was walking in the dark to the shed in the bamboo forest.

While still outside the bamboo forest, Tao Qiuyi heard a heart-wrenching cough. The closer she got to the shed, the louder the cough became. She had heard this voice before. It was the original owner's grandfather.

Unfortunately, there were no pills for cough in her ring space.

Tao Qiuyi walked to the door of the shed. It was dark inside, without a trace of light coming out.

She took out a pound of salt and a pound of fruit candy she had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as five large meat buns from the state-owned restaurant. Because the large meat buns were hot when they were put into the ring, they would still be hot when they were taken out.

As before, he placed his things next to the bamboo door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, then quickly went around to the back of the shed.

"Cough cough cough..." After a burst of coughing, Mr. Tao raised his voice in the darkness and asked, "Who is it?"

There was no sound outside the door. Mr. Tao waited for more than ten seconds and asked again.

Still no sound came in. Grandpa Tao took a few breaths and said hoarsely, "Xiaoying, Grandpa doesn't have the strength to get up. Go open the door and take a look. Be careful not to fall."

"Okay, Grandpa Tao." Chen Hanying groped his way to the bamboo door and opened it. The cold wind rushed into the shed, making him shiver.

The bamboo forest was pitch black, and the wind blew the bamboo, making strange noises. Chen Hanying was not afraid at all, as he was used to hearing such noises.

Looking down, she saw three paper bags on the ground. Chen Hanying squatted down and picked up the bags. One of them was still warm and soft in her hand. A long-lost fragrance wafted into her nose.

He looked up eagerly outside, as if looking for something, but in the end there was nothing. He closed the bamboo door in disappointment and walked back cautiously.

"Grandpa Tao, my sister is here to bring us food again." Chen Hanying said in a low voice and put the hot paper package in Grandpa Tao's hand.

Last time my sister gave them snake soup and white flour, and this time she gave them meat buns. My sister is so nice.

"This is..." Old Master Tao held the paper bag in his trembling hands, tears welling in his eyes, unable to speak.

"It's meat buns, hot meat buns. I can smell the fragrance." Chen Hanying said happily.

Old Master Tao also smelled the smell and couldn't help coughing. "That silly child, it would be great if she had the money to buy meat buns for herself. Life is so hard for everyone now, why did she send them to us?"

"I heard she was married to the village doctor, Wei Jingyuan, so I went to the villagers to find out. They had different opinions. Some said Wei Jingyuan was a good person, responsible, and a good young man. Others said Wei Jingyuan was not a good person, because his lame leg made him look sinister and scary."

"The most important thing is that Wei Jingyuan only recovered after a lame leg, and he has a pair of half-grown twins, a boy and a girl. Qiu Yi is only seventeen years old. How can she take care of that family?"

He kept coughing as he spoke, and in the end, all Mr. Tao could do was cough.

Chen Hanying couldn't see Grandpa Tao's face, so he reached out and patted the old man on the back. He knew that Grandpa Tao was worried about his sister. "Grandpa Tao, don't be sad. My sister is very good. She is very capable." Chen Hanying held Grandpa Tao's hand and assured him very seriously. "Really, my sister is very capable."

Immersed in grief, Mr. Tao thought Chen Hanying was just trying to comfort him, and continued, "She's a girl, only seventeen years old, and she has to shoulder the burden of the family, taking care of her lame husband and his two twin siblings."

"She left us when she was young. She clearly has no feelings for me, yet she still sends me things and takes care of me. I'm so ashamed."

"Grandpa Tao." Chen Hanying said sensibly, "Let's put these meat buns aside for now. I'll send them back to my sister tomorrow."

"Okay." Old Master Tao nodded and touched Chen Hanying's head with satisfaction.

Tao Qiuyi, who was at the back of the shed, couldn't stand it any longer and said, "What's so good about it? I sent it to you so you can eat it. If you dare to send it back to me, I'll let you try."

She was about to leave, but when she heard two people talking in the shed, she was curious and didn't leave.

"Sister, sister." Chen Hanying happily moved towards the door.

Tao Qiuyi knew what he was going to do from the sound and stopped him, "Xiao Hanying, don't come out. It's cold outside. I'm going back now. The buns are still hot. Eat them quickly."

"Sister." Chen Hanying stopped and called out several more times. No response came. She said dejectedly, "Sister is really gone."

"It's okay. Go quietly around the village tomorrow, maybe you can run into her." Old Master Tao's skinny hands touched the gentle paper bag, and his heart was warm. "Go wake up your grandma, let's eat these buns."

"I really want to eat it." Chen Hanying swallowed his saliva. To be honest, he hadn't eaten meat buns for a long, long time.

"Eat it, otherwise your sister will be unhappy when she finds out." Old Master Tao said affirmatively, explaining clearly why he felt this way.

On the other side, Tao Qiuyi jumped over the wall into the Wei family yard, patted the dust that might be on his cotton jacket, then pushed open the door and walked in.

In the room, the three brothers and sisters sitting in front of the fireplace stopped reading at the same time and looked at her in unison.

Tao Qiuyi walked to the square table, picked up the thermos, poured half a cup of water into the bamboo tube cup, picked it up and drank it.

After finishing his drink, seeing the three still looking at him, Tao Qiuyi immediately transformed into a stern homeroom teacher, his face stern. "Study hard and make progress every day isn't just a slogan; it has to be something you do. Why are you looking at me like that?"

Their gazes, especially Wei Jingyuan's, made her feel uneasy.

"Sister-in-law, you're back." Li Zi smiled sweetly at her and lowered her head to continue reading.

Xiao Huai didn't say anything. He glanced at Tao Qiuyi, as if confirming something, then lowered his head and continued reading.

Tao Qiuyi was puzzled and looked at Wei Jingyuan, who also remained silent, with a questioning look.

Wei Jingyuan said calmly, "You took a long time to go to the toilet. They were worried that you might drop your shoes in the toilet again and were too embarrassed to come in, so they lingered outside."

"You are the one who dropped your shoes into the toilet." Tao Qiuyi glared at Wei Jingyuan. He was really talking about things that were not related to the topic.

One of his yellow rubber shoes fell into the toilet, and she had already compensated him with a new pair.

Wei Jingyuan glanced at her calmly and said, "I've never dropped my shoes into a toilet before."
