Chapter 008 Drunk and Dreaming
Taohua was thinking about her mother-in-law Liu Qiaoxian after she met Taohua's classmate Yang Cuihua, and a strange but sweet smile immediately appeared on her face. Cuihua's heart went crazy when she saw it, and Taohua couldn't figure out why her mother-in-law looked at her old woman like that.
Classmate Yang Cuihua...
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" At this time, there was a loud and urgent knock on the door, waking Taohua from her reverie memories.
She soaked naked in the big basin, taking a bath comfortably while thinking about her happiness and misfortune after marriage.
"Oh my God!" Taohua's heart was beating hard, and she said in her heart: "Dad and mother are back."
She hurriedly jumped out of the basin, wiped her wet body with a towel and shouted out the door: "Here we come! Wait a moment!"
She put on her pants and didn't even have time to put on her bra. She pulled off her top and put it on her body, buttoned it up and went to open the door.
But her hair could not be dried, and it was still dripping with water, soaking the clothes she had just put on from her back to her chest and all the way to her shoulders.
Through the damp clothes, the uneven lines and contours of her upper body were vaguely visible, and her slightly bulging belly was even more obvious.
"Mom, why are you back so early?" She opened the door and looked up. She was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Why is it you? What are you doing here?"
The visitor was none other than Liu Dajun's cousin Liu Haitao. He was seen standing outside the door of Taohua's house, with a half-new bicycle standing next to him. When he saw Taohua, his face turned red. He smiled and said:
"My aunt asked me to take you back."
When Taohua heard this, she immediately thought: Didn't her mother-in-law just come here a few days ago? She and my mother were at odds with each other for several days over this matter. Didn't her mother-in-law agree before she left? Don't call her again, why did he?
And he said it was his mother-in-law who asked him to come? Humph, he probably had no good intentions and was eating from the bowl and occupying the pot.
So she darkened her face and said, "Da Jun is dead. I heard that you and Yang Cuihua are going to get married in a few days. I have nothing to do with you anymore. You go, I never want to go back to that place again.
I never want to see you again."
"Why does it have nothing to do with me? This child is mine..."
"Bah! Stop talking nonsense and get out!"
"Look, if you don't go back, how will I explain it to my aunt?"
"I don't care how you explain it? You guys colluded to trick me and bully me, you..." Taohua said, lowering her head, and her big teardrops fell on the thirsty dust, and the endless liquid was suddenly absorbed and evaporated.
No trace left.
Liu Haitao knew that Taohua had been greatly hurt, and he knew even more that her wound was aching.
………
The cause of the incident was that I visited Dajun at the hospital that day. The doctor said that Dajun's condition was basically stable, and informed him that the day after tomorrow would be Wednesday to go through the discharge procedures for Dajun.
To be honest, at that time, although Tichang "saved lives and healed the wounded, implemented revolutionary humanitarianism" and "Five Lectures, Four Beauties, Three Loves", and also emphasized "serving the people" and so on, but in short, in practice, then
The attitudes of each are more horrid than the others. How many of them can explain the problem to you slowly and calmly?
If the hospital lets you out, you have to be discharged. Stop talking nonsense! However, this is really good news for Taohua and her parents-in-law. Dajun finally lost his life. There is no big problem and he can recuperate at home.
At least the family can live happily together all day long.
After they came back from the hospital, Aunt Liu rolled up her sleeves happily and said, "Don't leave today, naughty one. You are strong. You can cut the vegetables and stuffing. Peach Blossom, you can knead the dough. Old man, you can go to the snack shop to make the dough."
Liquor, please come back and light a fire to boil water. Let’s eat dumplings together today.”
Northerners love to eat dumplings, which can only be enjoyed during the holidays. There is a local saying that "nothing is more delicious than dumplings." Therefore, when everyone heard that the old lady was going to make dumplings for everyone, they were all very happy.
The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly found a starting point for recovery.
Even the honest old man Liu felt so happy when he heard that his son Dajun's condition was not serious and he could recuperate at home. Moreover, his wife not only made dumplings for him to eat, but also allowed him to drink two cups of white wine.
Yeah, he put his hands behind his back, hummed a tune in his mouth, and walked towards the door.
"Uncle, why are you so happy today? Oh, you are willing to drink a bottle of wine? What kind of wine did you buy?" Liu Laocun had just come out of the small shop with a happy face. Several women who were mumbling and talking came to the door.
A question about the matter.
"Lao Baigan." Liu Laocun chuckled and said, "I have recovered from Dajun's illness. When my mother is happy, she will make dumplings and have a treat. I can also get a few drinks by the way, hehe."
"Ouch, Lao Baigan is too strong, and most people can't drink it."
Liu Laocun sniffed it with his nose and said, "I like to drink this Laobaigan the most. It's high in alcohol and fragrant."
"My daughter-in-law, Taohua, didn't go to accompany your army? Hehe."
"Eat dumplings and drink some wine. Life is really good today. Didn't you call your naughty boy? Hehe."
How did Liu Laocun know what these girls were laughing and joking and winking at?
He didn't think much about it at all, and didn't pay attention to them. He just wanted to go home and boil water and cook dumplings.
The dumplings were finished quickly, and Liu Laocun urged: "The water has just boiled, let's make the dumplings."
The parents-in-law were cooking dumplings, and Taohua quickly washed the bowls to prepare the dumplings. However, she vaguely felt that the uncle Liu Haitao was staring at her from time to time, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She didn't know how long this feeling lasted.
I did it several times, but I couldn't show my emotions.
This time she found the right moment and whipped her head to take a look, and sure enough she found that Liu Haitao had just finished sweeping the floor and was watching her wash the dishes blankly.
Her gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing Liu Haitao's eyes directly, catching him off guard.
But Taohua tried her best to cover up the embarrassing situation. When she saw the wicker fence hanging on the wall, she hurriedly said: "Brother Naughty, bring me the fence. I'll wash it and prepare to catch the dumplings."
Liu Haitao took the wicker fence in response, weighed it in his hands, and then burst out laughing.
"You silly boy, why are you laughing?" Aunt Liu asked Yanli just as she was about to put dumplings in the bowl.
Liu Haitao smiled again and said, "It's okay, auntie. When I saw this wicker fence, I suddenly remembered a lantern riddle."
"Isn't it just a picket? What kind of mystery is so funny?" After Aunt Liu finished serving the dumplings, she straightened up and greeted everyone: "Come sit down and pour the wine."
As soon as Liu Laocun opened the wine bottle, Liu Haitao reached out and took it: "Uncle, let me pour it."
You're welcome. Liu Haitao first poured a small cup for each of the two old men, and then poured it for Taohua. But Taohua pushed the cup and said, "You guys can drink, I don't want to drink."
When her mother-in-law saw her, she quickly persuaded her: "Taohua, you are happy today, let's have some dumplings and drink together."
The father-in-law took a sip and smiled innocently: "Well, this wine is delicious. It's okay to drink some. Just drink some."
Aunt Liu sighed: "Oh, for so many days, we have been worried about Da Jun all day long, and our family has not been able to have a happy meal. Today, Da Jun's illness finally has a good conclusion. He can survive."
After giving the order, my mother felt..."
As Liu Qiaoxian spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and she choked with emotion.
Taohua hurriedly persuaded: "Mom, don't be sad. Won't the army be back after tomorrow? We should be happy."
"Yes, you should be happy. Mom is feeling particularly happy today. Peach Blossom asked your naughty brother to pour some of it and take a cup with Mom. Come on."
"Yes, Taohua. It's rare that the whole family is so happy. Let's have some drinks with my aunt." Liu Haitao poured wine for Taohua and said, "This Laobaigan is too strong and strong. Please drink less."
This was the mother-in-law's idea, how could Taohua have the nerve to refuse? So, Liu Haitao just poured half a cup for her.
People in Jizhong like to use small wine cups when drinking. This wine cup is much smaller than a wine glass. One cup can hold two taels of white wine, and half a cup contains about one tael of white wine.
Don't underestimate this couple of Lao Baigan, for a Taohua who never drinks alcohol, it's like a sizable dose of sleeping pills.
Furthermore, the bottle of Laobai that Liu Laocun bought has a high alcohol content, with an alcohol purity of 67 degrees. It is said that the highest alcohol content of this wine can reach 76 degrees. No wonder some people who are good at drinking wine often drink it.
Said: The aroma of wine does not fear the depth of the alley. This kind of wine can be smelled from a long way away.
Everyone picked up the wine cups and took a sip each. It could be seen from their expressions that the wine must be strong and strong.
Taohua also wanted to try it, but when the wine reached her lips, a pungent taste made her shiver. She shook her head: "Oh, this wine is too spicy. I don't dare to drink it."
Taohua's words made her parents-in-law and uncle laugh. My father-in-law said, "You can try it by licking a little with the tip of your tongue. It will feel spicy when you first drink it, but it will get better over time."
The mother-in-law also advised: "Yes, try it slowly first as your father said. I didn't dare to drink it at all before, but now I am training for such a high level. It's no problem for me to drink two ounces. You see..."
Taohua tried to lick some wine with the tip of her tongue according to the instructions given by her mother-in-law. Hey, the wine really felt mellow and fragrant in her mouth. Taohua then took another small sip. It was still a bit spicy, but she could handle it.
So she bravely picked up the wine cup and said: "Dad, mother, naughty brother, today I would like to offer you a cup of peach blossoms. I would like to express my special thanks to naughty brother, who has been busy working for us all day. Come on, I will drink first."
.”
"Taohua, what are you talking about? We are all one family. We have been together for so many years. If it were not for the care of my uncle and aunt, would I be alive today? Even if I starve to death, I will freeze to death. My uncle and aunt are my biological fathers.
My dear mother, now that my brother is in trouble, what does it mean for me, Liu Haitao, to do something to help? As I haven’t even drunk at all, this is definitely not drunk talk, it is Liu Haitao’s sincere words from the bottom of my heart..."
Aunt Liu picked up the wine cup: "Naughty boy, stop talking. My uncle and aunt are like mirrors in their hearts. Come on, drink..."
"Auntie, before drinking today, in front of my sister-in-law, you asked me to finish what I said. I have been holding these words in my stomach for so many years without a chance to say them." Liu Haitao insisted, "My parents died when I was a child.
, it was my uncle and aunt who raised me up. Let’s put it this way, without my uncle and aunt, there would be no Liu Haitao. So, whatever my uncle and aunt tell me to do, I will obey even to death.”
"Hehe, this guy talks a lot today." Old Man Liu muttered.
"Yes, I usually don't hear him say a word." Aunt Liu asked: "Naughty boy, do you listen to my aunt?"
"Of course."
"Okay, Auntie asks you to stop talking now and let's drink together."
"Okay, come on, peach girl, let's do it together." Liu Haitao raised the wine cup, raised his chin as he spoke, and drank Erliang Laobai down.
When Peach Blossom sees that she has no choice this time, she bites the bullet and has to drink. This is called chasing a duck to the shelf and risking her life to accompany the gentleman.
But as soon as she drank the cup, she suddenly felt cold all over. After a while, her body felt like it was on fire, burning all over her body from the inside out, from head to toe, and it was hot. Then her face started to heat up, and her face turned pale.
