On the third day of the first lunar month, the Taotao family went to town.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Tang Li and Bai Zhenggan gave everyone in the family a red envelope of one dollar each...

Now even red beans and soybeans are rich.

So everyone went shopping and bought everything that should be bought, and they were all very happy.

Tang Liren is not happy.

She called Nan Sheng's company and wanted to find Nan Sheng, but couldn't find it. Tang Liren changed her mouth again and said she wanted to find Nan Sheng's leader. After a long time, a man with a strong voice answered the phone and told Tang Liren that the entire battalion where Nan Sheng was located accepted the task assigned by the state and left.

Where Nan Sheng went and what he did, this is a secret, and it is inconvenient to disclose it to his family for the time being.

The man comforted Tang Liren on the phone, saying that the army would ensure the safety of Nan Sheng, so that the family should not worry too much about Yunyun...

The two sides just closed the line.

Tang Liren was even more worried.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Tang Li and Dongsheng accompanied Lili, and the mother and son drove back for two days before arriving at the Municipal Party Guest House early in the morning on the seventh day of the first lunar month.

He Zhaoguo and Dong Mingchun, who was holding Niuniu, came over to greet Tang Liren's mother and son, and gave Lili a blank resume. After Li Li filled it out, Dong Mingchun was surprised when he saw it, "Li Li, are you from high school culture?"

Pear nodded.

"This is a bonus. As long as you don't make a mistake during the interview later, you will be sure of everything!" Dong Mingchun said in a low voice.

There are men, women and children of all ages who come to the guest house to apply for jobs, but most of the young and beautiful girls like Bailili come for the post of waiter.

I heard that such a delicate and fair girl is actually a chef?

Experts look down on it, thinking that this girl is so weak, she can't move the pot, right?

A layman is watching the excitement, thinking about what it would be like to work with a group of gentlemen from a girl's family!

In the end, the judges and competitors were all stunned at the final interview.

There are two rounds of interviews, the red case and the white case.

The red case is the preparation and platter of the dishes. Lili has a solid heart. Whether it is cutting vegetables, cooking vegetables, seasoning or turning the pot, she does everything like a cloud of water, and her movements are both eye-catching and very quick.

She made braised pork, which was beautifully served.

——The square braised pork is neatly stacked on a large ceramic plate, forming an arch bridge. On the "bridge", use toothpicks to hold up two mushrooms, one big and the other small. There are also some white sesame seeds sprinkled on the mushroom umbrella... From a distance, it looks like a man and a woman are walking on a stone bridge with an umbrella in the snow!

Just for the beauty of this dish, the audience was sensational.

The judges tried the taste of this braised pork again - not bad, the main reason is that the heat is very well controlled, the pork skin is soft and glutinous, the fat meat melts in the mouth, and the lean meat is very chewy, really first-class!

Then there is the white case competition.

The white case refers to the making of rice and noodles, which is Lili's specialty. She has been practicing hard for more than a month, and now she has made a white rabbit hawthorn cake with confidence.

The existing hawthorn cake restaurant is made of white glutinous rice skin - glutinous rice flour, milk powder and white sugar to make it thin, steam it in a pot, take it out and place it in cold water together with a bowl to cool it. This is Pear Pear that has been steamed before making braised pork.

So when the other competitors were busy, Bailili leisurely took the glutinous rice paste that had cooled into a jelly, first wrapped a piece of hawthorn cake in the glutinous rice paste, and then squeezed it. Shape it into an oval shape, use clean small scissors to cut out the rabbit's ears, then stick a round tail and use the red hawthorn cake as the rabbit's red eyes...

A round and cute little white rabbit appeared!

The Hawthorn White Rabbit Cake made by Lili shocked the audience!

Several invigilators tried one by one, and even He Zhaoguo, Dong Mingchun and Xiao Niuniu ate it...

When you bite into it, you first eat the delicate, fragrant and slightly sweet glutinous rice skin, and then eat the sweet and sour hawthorn cake, which is sweet but not greasy, nutritious and delicious!

Everyone was full of praise.

In the end, several invigilators and judges discussed for a long time, and then called Bai Lili away for a while and asked for a while, and finally decided to give Lili a special recruitment spot - not only to admit Bai Lili on the spot, but also to sign a trial with her directly. contract. As long as she can pass the three-month performance appraisal, she can be directly transferred to a positive! Become a regular worker of latte rice bowl!

What does that mean?

That is to say, the restaurant will set a target turnover for her. If within these three months, Lili's white-box dim sum can exceed this target, she will be able to become a regular worker!

Of course Pear is delighted!

Tang Liren's heart fell to the ground, and she quickly thanked He Zhaoguo and Dong Mingchun.

The young couple smiled and said, "What does this have to do with us? Auntie, you saw it with your own eyes, and we are not judges... Sister Lili applied for the job on her own merit!"

Having said that, Tang Liren still expressed her gratitude - she gave Dong Mingchun a piece of homemade bacon, and took out a beautiful sweater specially hand-knitted by Tao Tao for Xiao Jiaojiao.

Next, Tang Liren asked Dong Mingchun to take more care of Lili.

After moving Lili into the staff dormitory, and helping Lili buy a complete set of bedding, quilt covers, pillowcases, laundry tubs, towels, toothbrushes, cups, etc...

Tang Licai and Dongsheng went home together.

When they got home, Taotao and Xingxing scrambled to report to their parents, saying that Uncle Qin, Section Chief Feng, Manager Xu and Xu Jianhua were here again. They stayed at the educated youth all night and just left yesterday!

This time Uncle Qin and the others came here to apologize to Lili, and they also told Taotao that Xu Fengjuan had been fired, and Zhang Zhifa had been demoted and transferred to the canteen of a township hostel in a neighboring county...

At the same time, they also want to take Lili back to work.

Xu Jianhua looked thinner and more haggard than before the Spring Festival. He sincerely expressed to Bai Zhenggan that he wanted to see Lili again...

Of course Bai Zhenggan disagreed, so he told them directly that Bai Lili had found a new job and went to work!

Everyone was surprised!

The Xu family was very disappointed.

Manager Xu told Uncle Qin early in the morning how the desserts made by Lili are delicious. They have even thought about it. First of all, they must rectify all the indicators in the restaurant to pass the assessment of the Municipal Party Committee Working Group; Uncle Qin's cooking skills, relying on Lili's dessert skills, and paying close attention to service quality and environmental sanitation, their restaurant can still make a comeback.

Xu Jianhua felt very desperate.

However, he tended to be that the Bai family disagreed with him and Lili, so he hid Lili in a relative's house...

So he asked Bai Zhenggan repeatedly, hoping that Bai Zhenggan could tell him Lili's current address.

Of course Bai Zhengqian would not give it.

Xu Jianhua's entanglement provoked Tao Tao and Xing Xing's anger.

The two sisters were so arrogant that Xu Jianhua couldn't say a word!

At the critical moment, Tan Fenghui leaned on her waist and came over to persuade a few words, and then sent Xing Xing to call for the village chief and village cadres to come to accompany her...

After the village chief and village cadres arrived, they had a good chat with Manager Xu. After all, Manager Xu and the others knew that Ruyi Village would still provide them with all kinds of ingredients, stewed meat and herbs as before... That's why they let go of most of their hearts.

However, just because of Xu Jianhua's annoying entanglement, Bai Zhengqian didn't want to entertain Manager Xu and the others. It is just an excuse to say that Tang Liren is not here this time, and there is no one to talk about in the housework at home, so let's invite the guests to the educated youth station to borrow!

Xu Jianhua didn't feel anything, but Manager Xu had experienced Bai Zhenggan's two attitudes, both ashamed and regretful... Ashamed, when Lili was still there, he didn't take this girl seriously; it's a pity that she was so good Girl, there is no fate with his son.

After listening to Taotao Xingxing's words, Tang Liren spat: "Bah! He thought he was a stalker, so we'll agree? Hmph, it's beautiful! We will find someone who is ten thousand times stronger than him in the future. What a disgusting thing..."

In a flash, the first month came out. Brother Dongsheng said goodbye to his parents, wife and children, and went to school in the provincial capital.

But Nansheng still has no news.

Tang Liren talks about Nan Sheng several times every day.

The days in the countryside were as plain as water. In February, the fields were plowed, and in March, the rice was planted. In April, when it rained, the production team stopped working because of the continuous light rain for several days and nights.

It's fine when I'm usually busy with farm work, but once I stop...

Tang Liren was even more anxious.

During the day, she could still pretend, and at night, she would cry when she returned to the house. People are getting thinner and thinner, and their spirits are getting more and more trance.

In May, the rain stopped.

Troops come.

The soldier said that Bai Nansheng went to the battlefield and made a first-class merit. However, the other person was seriously injured and lay in the hospital for three months. Recently, his health has finally improved, so the army sent him over to pick up two family members to visit him.

Tang Liren was stunned, and then burst into tears.

The next day, Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren left home with the soldiers and hurried to Bai Nansheng's army.

After a few days, the Bai family finally arrived at the army.

——Bai Nansheng has been picked up by the troops from southern Xinjiang. He is currently hospitalized in the hospital where the troops belong, and he is doing well.

At the moment, parents and sons meet, hugging their heads in pain.

Tang Liren saw that her handsome son had been shaved with a bald head, and a new deep and long scar was added to his face...

- It was a scar that snaked directly from the top of his head to above his right eyebrow, and it looked like someone was holding a machete and trying to chop his head in half!

And this wound was stitched again, and the flesh at the wound was rolled out like a huge centipede that had been peeled off, making the originally handsome son terrifying.

Tang Liren only glanced at her son, her whole body softened and she lost consciousness.

So anxious that Nan Sheng hurriedly hugged his mother, and called the doctors and nurses to pinch her and feed her ten drops of water, and Tang Liren woke up leisurely.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her scrawny son, and she couldn't help but look at the scar on his forehead...

Tang Liren was trembling all over.

She reached out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch her son's wound, but she couldn't get up the courage no matter what.

The fear that had accumulated in my heart all day broke out completely.

She couldn't say a word, and passed out again.

After being woken up by the doctor for the second time, Nan Sheng said quickly, "Mom, I'm fine, I'm fine!"

He held his mother's hand tightly.

This time, Tang Liren was finally able to speak, "Son, do you... hurt?"

Nan Sheng smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt."

Tang Liren burst into tears.

"It really doesn't hurt. I was just... dizzy and didn't feel any pain." Nan Sheng quickly comforted his mother.

Tang Liren burst into tears, "You, you... If you stay by my side, can I, I let you suffer like this?"

Nan Sheng understood.

His mother was always brave and kind.

She usually welcomes smiles in the village, and it doesn't matter if she suffers a little loss. But she loves her child like her life, and whoever dares to bully her child, she is going to fight with others.

The mother was so sad because she couldn't protect him.

Nan Sheng smiled, "Mom, I'm a soldier."

"You are an alien, and that's my son!" Tang Liren cried.

Nan Sheng's leader was both moved and amused by standing aside.

Next, the man named Political Commissar Chen briefly introduced to Bai Zhenggan and his wife the tasks that Bai Nansheng performed, where and why he was injured, and explained the cause and effect clearly.

A squad of ten soldiers killed a total of seven enemies of the other side, preserved the communication towers of our important facilities, and smashed the attempts of the imperialist enemies to sabotage!

It is a pity that the squad leader Chen Xiaobao, the deputy squad leader Liu Jianguo, and the soldiers Lin Aijun, Zhang Jiye and Wang Cong died heroically. The five surviving people are Bai Nansheng, Wang Qingsong, Tao Wei, Zhao Zhuangzhi and Li Xiaomin.

Then political commissar Chen said to Bai Zhenggan: "Secretary Bai, Nan Sheng has never said that his father is a national model! Look, this is called a tiger father without a dog! Thank you for training our troops. Such an excellent warrior!"

Bai Zhengqian also felt sorry for his son, with red eyes, choked up and said, "Where is he, he's at home, he is so skinny, and it was only after he arrived in the army that he had such a ideological awareness. This is the education of the party and the state for him... We, being parents, are holding us back!"

Commissar Chen laughed.

Then, he talked about the organization's award to Bai Nansheng.

The company that Bai Nansheng belonged to was rated as a hero company, the five soldiers who died were rated as martyrs, and their families were rated as martyrs' families. In addition to pensions, their immediate family members would enjoy the government's support forever.

Bai Nansheng recorded first-class merit and was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. Tao Wei and Wang Qingsong recorded second-class merits and were promoted to sergeant. Zhao Zhuangzhi and Li Xiaomin recorded third-class merits and were promoted to sergeant.

After speaking, Political Commissar Chen patted Bai Zhenggan on the shoulder and praised: "Nan Sheng is a good comrade!"

Political commissar Chen chatted with Yan Yue and the Bai family again, and warmly invited them to stay here for a few more days to accompany Nan Sheng, and then left.

Tang Liren just grabbed Nan Sheng's hand, "Tell me again, what happened at that time?"

Nan Sheng said it again with a smile.

Of course, he said it lightly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

At the end, he changed the subject and said, "Mom, do you know? Actually, this time, it was Taotao who saved me! That little girl, she not only saved me, but also my two comrades in arms!"

Tang Liren was taken aback, "How do you say this?"

Nan Sheng said: "Tao Tao gave me a lucky sachet, saying that there are seeds of lucky grass in it. Mom, you don't know, the three of us... really only had our last breath left. It was the third year of the year. In the early morning of Shi'er, we chased out, we didn't eat or drink all day, and finally finished the fight until I woke up the next day..."

"The seed in the lucky sachet has sprouted! It grew half a person's height overnight, and produced more than a dozen leaves... The three of us chewed on those leaves for three days, and the troops came. We were found by someone! According to our comrades, there were three blind bears, one big, two small and three small, waiting for the three of us to die. Woolen cloth!"

Tang Liren took a deep breath!

"Then you are big men, can you carry them even just by eating a few leaves?" Bai Zhenggan asked.

Nan Sheng gestured, "That leaf is so big... It's only a little smaller than Tong Ye, it tastes very bitter, but it has a lot of water, and we eat more than a dozen leaves, and it will grow a dozen more in one night. Come on!"

"Tao Wei had a high fever at the time. Wang Qingsong and I took off his clothes, smashed the leaves and squeezed out the water, and smeared him all over his body, and his fever actually subsided!"

"I can say responsibly that I really brought them out of the minefield. But they also rushed into the minefield to give me a chance to live..."

"The most important thing is that if Tao Tao's lucky sachet didn't exist, Tao Wei would definitely die. Wang Qingsong and I were also bad enough. I didn't have a fatal injury, even if I lost too much blood, Wang Qingsong's injury was not light... Without those leaves to continue our lives, we must have died of thirst or starvation."

Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren were amazed, "That girl is indeed a big kid!"

Tang Liren talked about how Taotao and her partnered in business and earned nearly 1,000 yuan last year. She also talked about how she is now working hard to become an advanced student in order to become a worker, peasant, and soldier student. now...

Nan Sheng was very surprised and said with a smile, "You can do it, little girl, you're not stupid."

Bai Zhenggan said: "If you don't say it, I still think that when you talk about it, it seems that our family has changed since Tao Tao became smart, and slowly everything has changed for the better!"

Tang Liren finally had a smile on her face.

Bai Nansheng said, "our family will get better and better in the future."

Tang Liren looked at her son.

——Among all the children, she felt that Nan Sheng and Tao Tao were the ones she owed the most.

Now that Taotao is slowly getting better, Tang Liren's worries about her have gradually diminished.

But Nansheng stayed away from her again, and experienced such a bad marriage, which made Tang Liren feel very guilty to him.

——Since childhood, Dongsheng, as the eldest son in the family, was strictly required by Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren. He must be a responsible person who can lead the way.

The fact is just as the couple thought, Dongsheng is a good boy with strong roots.

When Nansheng was two or three years old, Dongsheng was seven years old and was sent to elementary school by Bai Zhenggan.

At that time, Tang Liren was pregnant with Lili again, and Nan Sheng was handed over to Chen Juxiang to take care of her.

By the time Lili was born, weaned, and Nansheng was five or six years old, his personality was completely distorted - he was stubborn, rebellious, and fought against everyone. I long for the love of my parents, and I hate their existence. I want to be with my brothers and sisters, and I hate them for taking away my parents' love...

At that time, Bai Zhenggan worked day and night in order to pull the big family.

Tang Li gave birth to Lili, and soon became pregnant with Taotao, and later gave birth to Xingxing... Then she realized that something was wrong with Taotao, Tang Liren's attention was inevitably attracted by Taotao, and she ignored it again. Nansheng.

Nansheng's personality has grown extremely freely and savagely.

Later, as he grew older, he accepted and loved his family... but his personality could not be reversed.

Think about the understatement of Nan Sheng and Political Commissar Chen when he talked about his killing the enemy.

But Tang Liren knew that he brought down two American soldiers who were wearing various weapons all over the body by himself, and that was the outburst of malice; The soldier was pushed into the minefield... He simply had the decision to perish together!

Tang Liren couldn't help crying again, "Son, don't do this again in the future, you have parents..."

Speaking of this, Tang Liren suddenly worried about her son's life-long affairs, "...When will you marry me with a daughter-in-law? Or will I help you in my hometown?"

Bai Nansheng: ...

No, Mom, you've changed too fast, haven't you?

In order not to let his mother worry, Bai Nansheng said quickly, "I'll handle this myself! Don't hold me back!"

Tang Liren, "I'm sure I won't hold you back! That's what you're looking for!"

In fact, Bai Nansheng didn't want to find someone at all.

He said perfunctorily: "Okay! I'll find it as soon as I get better!"

Bai Zhenggan stared at the terrifying scar on his son's forehead, and was a little worried, "You are already married for a second time, and you are still broken... Can you find a good one? Or let your mother find you someone who knows the truth in your hometown. Bar?"

Bai Nansheng was annoyed, "I said I would find it myself!"

Tang Liren immediately compromised, "Well, you can find it yourself! If you find it, you must tell Mom, and Mom will take care of you!"

Bai Nansheng said "um".

Tang Li and Bai Zhenggan stayed in the company for a few days, and saw that their son had indeed recovered, and that the discharge procedures had been completed, and they were ready to report to the military academy...

The Bai family was just about to leave.

So Bai Nansheng took out 100 yuan and wanted to give it to Tang Liren; but Tang Liren also prepared 100 yuan and wanted to give it to Bai Nansheng...

The mother and son looked at the money in each other's hands, and they were stunned.

Bai Nansheng, "Mom, this money is the salary I saved. You can take it back to supplement the family."

Tang Liren, "Now our home is much better than before. Behind our new home is a green bamboo forest. This year, we dug several hundred catties of sweet bamboo shoots, which cost a full 50 yuan! In addition, your brother goes to school in the provincial capital, so he does some food on weekends. Occidental worker, your third sister is in the Municipal Party Guest House... Now you have turned positive, and you have stabilized your iron job, with a monthly salary of 39 yuan! And your fourth sister, who will also make money now... There is no shortage of family Money! You take your own money, and what about the money Mom gave you, you can keep it and spend it slowly! If you have a conversation with someone, you must have the money to invite someone to watch a movie and drink a bottle of soda, right?"

Bai Nansheng: ...

When he rolled his eyes, he thought that he had grown so big, and he had been doing a disservice to the family, and it was all the family who cleaned up the mess for him.

He doesn't seem to have really done anything for the family.

Bai Nansheng got his 100 yuan back and accepted the 100 yuan his mother gave.

Tang Liren smiled happily.

At that moment, Bai Nansheng said he wanted to take a nap, and asked his parents to go back to the guest house.

Then he went out with a few comrades.

At dinner time, Bai Nansheng came back in a hurry, and without saying a word, he took his parents to the state-run restaurant for a good meal. After dinner, he took his parents to watch a movie, and bought a bottle of orange soda and two cups of spiced melon seeds for each of them.

The next day, Bai Nansheng was going to take a ride in the company, so he told his parents in advance that he would leave first, and then the political committee Chen sent a car to take Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren to the train station.

Tang Liren put her son into the army car with tears in her eyes, watching her son sit behind the car and drift away.

Then he and Bai Zhenggan got into the jeep arranged by Political Commissar Chen.

When they arrived at the train station, the couple supported each other in the car, and thanked the little driver repeatedly. The little driver handed over a bulging luggage bag to them and said, "Uncle, auntie, this is what Brother Nansheng gave to you. Brother Nansheng also said that there is a hundred dollars in the innermost bag of the duffel bag, and my aunt should put it away!"

Tang Liren was stunned.

Bai Zhenggan, "Little comrade..."

The little driver waved to them, "Uncle, auntie... Bye! I have the opportunity to come and play often in the future!" After saying that, the little driver drove the car away.

Tang Liren was stunned.

After a long while, he said, "This kid! There is also a trick to cut first and then play!"

Then the two opened the bag to check again.

——The bag contains some local specialties, cigarettes, wine, handkerchiefs, leather shoes, shirts that are obviously suitable for girls, and stationery boxes for children.

Tang Liren also found ten pieces of unity in the mezzanine of the bag!

Think again……

Didn't this kid just use his money to buy this bag of things! And then stuffed back the money she gave him?

Tang Liren felt distressed, "He doesn't keep a penny... What do you think he eats?"

Bai Zhenggan said, "Okay, this is a piece of filial piety for the child, you can take it! Besides, he is not a fool, even if he goes to the military school to study, he will still be paid... Okay, let's hurry in, I'll leave again. No, it would be too late if it was too late."

Tang Liren sighed.

What they didn't know was that Bai Nansheng followed quietly.

When he saw that his mother was carrying a big bag behind him, a big bag hanging on his chest, and the one he gave him on his arm, and then supporting his father with the other hand, he looked very embarrassed.

Look at my father again - my father's waist bone is not good. Although he has been raised for more than a year, he is almost healed, but he still looks a little hunched, walking very slowly, and his posture is a little stiff...

He wanted to go up and support his father.

But he also knew that if he appeared at this moment...the mother would definitely give him the money back.

He had to follow not far or near, afraid of being discovered by his parents, afraid of being lost, and afraid of being too far away, if the two of them were squeezed and bumped, he would not be able to make it in time.

Fortunately, the mother tried her best to protect the father, and the two slowly moved into the waiting room.

Bai Nansheng immediately went to buy a platform ticket and entered the station.

He bought the train tickets for his parents, and he knew which carriage they were in.

Sure enough, when Bai Nansheng ran to the carriage, Tang Li and Bai Zhenggan had just taken their seats, and someone opened the window.

Bai Nansheng shouted loudly, "Dad! Mom!"

Bai Zhenggan saw Nan Sheng on the platform at a glance, his face full of surprise, "Son! Why are you here?"

Nan Sheng handed over a pocket of green oranges and apples in his hand, and said to the big man sitting by the window: "Brother, please hand it over... Hey, and this, my parents' lunch, thank you! "

The big man helped pass the things over.

Tang Liren's eyes lit up when she saw her son, "Nansheng, Qian!"

Bai Zhenggan turned his head and glared at his wife fiercely, "You still mentioned this to him! He just lied because he was afraid that you would mention this and said he didn't talk to us! Look, he still can't worry about us, secretly. Follow me!"

Tang Liren was speechless and looked at her son through the car window with tears in her eyes.

Seeing that she didn't pay, Bai Nansheng was relieved and said loudly: "Dad, Mom! I brought two boxes of lunch for you two, you two eat one box at noon, and you cover the rest with a towel. , there are fried rice with eggs, pickles and steamed buns, you can eat it cold... You two take oranges and apples to quench your thirst, remember to change trains in Lucheng, don't stop!"

Tang Liren sniffed, "Son, we're leaving... You have to take good care of yourself! You have to apply the ointment that the doctor prescribed for you every day. Don't engage in high-intensity training until your injury is completely healed... Also Wow, don't drink water immediately after training, it will hurt your stomach..."

"Don't worry, Mom! I'm not a child anymore." Bai Nansheng said with a smile.

Tang Liren choked and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, in mother's heart, you will always be a child!"

Bai Nansheng's heart was tender.

The train whistled and started slowly.

Bai Nansheng looked at his father's eyes full of relief and expectation, and at his mother's reluctant tears...

He couldn't bear it, and waved hard at his parents.

Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren returned to Xiaoshan Village, told the family about Nan Sheng, and showed the photos to their daughters-in-law and daughters.

Tao Tao, who was looking through the autumn water, saw the photo of Nan Sheng's brother, "wow", and said in horror: "This, this... this scar! My brother was hit in the head with a knife!"

Xing Xing was also surprised.

Then I heard my parents talk about the distress of Nan Sheng's brother--

Even Tan Fenghui was holding her big belly, her face pale and pale.

Tang Liren sighed, "It's a pity that the five soldiers who have already sacrificed are the sons of others!"

Then he praised Taotao, "Your brother said, thanks to your lucky sachet! If I had known that this thing could save lives, I should have given one to every soldier in the entire army!"

Bai Zhenggan said, "One person per person? Then the mountain was bald by you!"

Tang Liren: ...

Song Zhi smoothed things out: "These are all flukes. I still hope that there will be no wars in the future, and the whole world will be peaceful and healthy."

The family was chatting when someone suddenly shouted outside, "Is Taotao at home?"

Taotao heard that it was Guan Haishan's voice.

She quickly responded, "Hey! I'm here!" She got off the kang bed, put on her shoes, and ran out. Sure enough, she saw Guan Haishan standing at the door.

"Shanshan come in and sit down and have a chat!" Taotao greeted her warmly.

Guan Haishan said lightly: "No, I have to rush back to paint... I came to you to ask for your help."

"How to say?"

Guan Haishan took out a stack of bills and notes and handed them to Taotao, "I know you have access to the city, can you help me with some paint? I have written the color number on the note for any color missing... And this list is what my wife and I use on a daily basis, please help me to buy it together. Besides, these are the original receipts by registered mail, which contain my remittance slip, and I also ask you to find someone to help I got it back by registered mail... Well, here's five dollars."

After a pause, Guan Haishan was a little embarrassed, "Will it be too much trouble for you?"

She added in a low voice, "I've run out of money on my body. I have to wait for the remittance slip to arrive. I'll go to the savings bank to get the money back, and then I'll pay you for your hard work."

Tao Tao teased her, "I can get a lot of hard work!"

Guan Haishan was stunned.

After a long while, she asked nervously: "How much? I won two first prizes this time, with a total of 25 yuan... I have already calculated, except for my wife and I's three-month expenses, There's about eight dollars left..."

Tao Tao smiled, "Let me ask you, you started last year and wanted to draw a picture for me, why haven't you finished it this year?"

Guan Haishan looked around and said in a low voice, "I've finished painting, do you want to take a look?"

Seeing her sneaky appearance, Taotao was hooked, and she turned back and shouted in the direction of the main room, "Mom! I'm going to the sixth wife's house to play!"

Tang Liren roared in the room, "Take some green oranges and give the old lady a taste!"

——The bag of green oranges was originally bought by Nan Sheng for Tang Li and Bai Zhenggan to eat on the road.

Taotao said to Guan Haishan, "Wait a minute," and then ran back to the main room to put down the money and bills Guan Haishan handed her, took a few more green oranges, and followed Guan Haishan away.

When she arrived at the sixth wife's house, Taotao gave the sixth wife three green oranges, and was dragged into her studio by Guan Haishan.

Guan Haishan opened the window to let the bright sunlight shine into the room, and carefully pulled out an old sheet that had been dusted on a giant oil painting.

Tao Tao saw the content on the canvas clearly and was shocked!

Guan Haishan's painting style is lifelike, bold and bright in color, and strong in emotion.

The whole painting is very delicate, with intricate details on almost every inch of the canvas. The overall color is bleak, and the corners are full of all kinds of little devils, the kind of eighteen layers of hell.

Right in the center of the canvas, a fair-skinned and beautiful fairy descended from the sky.

She has a beautiful face, with rubies that can condense spiritual power between her eyebrows, and her snow-white skin is lustrous and flawless. Her figure is enchanting and graceful, and her plump and beautiful arms are covered with gemstones; she wears a gorgeous pendant on her full chest, giving people an endless desire to imagine.

However, her eyes are pure and clear, with a childlike smile on her mouth, like a holy light that splits this dark world!

Taking a closer look, there are so many little ghosts painted on the corners and corners, and each little ghost's eyes are looking at the beautiful fairy, and their expressions are so pious and repentant...

Needless to say, the fairy in the painting is indeed Tao Tao.

And vividly!

Jiao Taotao felt that at the moment she seemed to be looking in the mirror in the fairy world.

Taotao looked at Guan Haishan.

As everyone knows, Guan Haishan is also looking at her obsessively.
