Chapter 24 Big Brother Tao Anqing

Tao Hua led the old cow and had just returned home with firewood on her back when she heard a pleasantly surprised voice coming from the house.Going to the backyard to pile up the firewood, Tao Ye followed closely, but she gave Tao Hua a white look, and passed by Tao Hua.Tao Kezhu of Wu's family walked crookedly, so naturally he didn't cut too much firewood, but Tao Ye chopped some for her casually, and the little girl came back with a few sticks.

In the Tao family, girls have no status, except of course Tao Hua's sister-in-law Tao Yuqin.Tao Wanhong, the eldest daughter of Luo Shi, and Tao Kezhu, who is three or four years old, all went to the mountains to cut firewood.Even the names of Tao Hua and the others are quite different. The names of all the men in the Tao family were chosen by Tao Lixiang, the most knowledgeable member of the Tao family, and his daughters were only Tao Hua and Tao Ye. , and Tao Li'an was even more unwilling to ask Tao Lixiang for help for the two girls.

Tao Wanhong and Tao Yueyue, who were tidying up the vegetable garden at home, were in the vegetable garden not far from the backyard. Seeing Tao Hua, Tao Yueyue was so angry that she would die. Now that they are cooking, their grandma will come in and watch over them. Not to mention stealing food, even stealing is lazy. Not allowed.And the chief culprit of all this is Tao Hua, an ugly monster. It is said that ugly people do more mischief, and it is true!

Tao Hua always felt that there was a cold look on her back, and she knew where this look came from without thinking about it!

Quickly stacking the firewood, Tao Hua hurried into the house.

Stepping into the two huts that belonged to them, they saw Mrs. Zou's expression of joy at the moment, and the little Tao Ancheng was standing beside Mrs. Zou with a smile. Also look happy.Even Tao Ye... the smile on his face didn't diminish when Tao Hua pushed the door open, this was the first time ever!
"Mother, why are you so happy?" Tao Hua walked into the room and couldn't help asking.

"Your elder brother brought something back!" Mrs. Zou said excitedly, "Look, this is what your elder brother bought for you little ones. These, how can I use such fabrics..." She rambled on, with a slight smile on her face, although she complained, the smile didn't decrease but increased, and she held some gadgets in her hand Son, in the end, her hand landed on a few feet of dark green cotton cloth, rubbing it, her eyes filled with satisfaction and joy!
brother?Tao Hua was slightly taken aback!The men of the Tao family are all noble, as can be seen from Lei's treatment of girls like them!All the boys in the Tao family were named by her uncle Tao Lixiang, and they were sent to study at a young age.Now there are four men in the Tao family, two of the eldest uncle Tao Lixiang's family, named Tao Anshu and Tao Anyu respectively. Tao Anshu is the eldest grandson of the Tao family. Literate, but didn't like learning very much, so he was sent to the county!

And Tao Hua's eldest brother, Tao Anqing, also studied with his uncle since he was a child, but he had no choice but to make no achievements in academics. Later, he also went to the county as an apprentice!In my memory, the impression of the elder brother is very vague, every year he only comes back for a few days during the Chinese New Year, and then leaves in a hurry!However, when Tao Anqing was still at home, he was one of the best ones in the whole Tao family to the deity.

No wonder father and mother were so happy, it turned out that the eldest brother asked someone to bring something back!Tao Hua remembered that her eldest brother said in the first half of the year that he was paid now, so there was no need to give him money!

Going to be an apprentice in the county was the decision made by the eldest elder of the Tao family, and all the hopes of the whole family rested on them.Three males need to pay money to be sent as apprentices, so the Tao family now, after paying the autumn tax, still has a few boys in the county, so there is nothing extra!

Tao Hua saw that what Zou handed her was a wooden hairpin carved with a peach blossom. In her previous life, she never looked at this cheap thing, but at this moment, it almost made her cry!
The pottery leaf is also a wooden hairpin with a willow leaf engraved on it. The slender willow leaves also look very good!But Tao Ye looked at Tao Hua's hairpin, and her eyes suddenly became displeased. She casually threw her own hairpin into a cabinet beside the bed, and turned her back!
Zou was immersed in her own thoughts, but she was thinking in her heart, this fabric is so good, why not make a pair of underwear for a few children, they all only have a set of underwear, which is still coarse cloth, and the flowers and leaves have grown up It's time to make some beautiful clothes for them!
What Tao Anqing sent back to Tao Ancheng was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. The little guy liked it very much. He hugged the happy one and rubbed it lightly. Tao Hua couldn't help but feel sad when he saw it!
Although Lei's family loved Ancheng very much, they couldn't ignore the other two families after all.

After dinner in the evening, Tao Hua was only [-]% full, looking at the dishes on the table that had been eaten up, reluctantly returned to their home with Zou Shi and Tao Ancheng!
These days, because Lei Shi has been staring at Tao Yueyue and Tao Wanhong all the time, the way the two of them look at Tao Hua these days makes them want to poke her to death with a knife!

Because of Lei Shi, Tao Hua has been living a stable life for a few days.After returning home, Mrs. Zou took Tao Hua, Tao Ye, and Tao Ancheng, "Your elder brother brought back a bundle of good material, and your sisters are older, and only have one set of underwear. Mother will measure it for you, and I will give it to each of you." Make a suit!"

Tao Ye's eyes shone with surprise. They basically didn't have any new clothes to wear this year, even during the Chinese New Year. She wore Tao Hua's leftovers, and Tao Hua wore Tao Wanhong's new clothes... They still haven't seen it for many years. !

Tao Hua pursed her lips tightly, "Mother, didn't elder brother tell you?"

Tao Hua knew that Mrs. Zou had been married to the Tao family for so many years, except for a few new clothes when she was a bride, she basically didn't add any new clothes in these years, and her life was harder than theirs!
After hearing Tao Hua's words, Tao Ye suppressed the liking in his heart, and said, "Mother, elder brother will give you a new dress. You can make a new dress yourself. I heard that the eldest brother is getting married, so you can't go out without clothes, right?" ?”

After listening to the words of the two daughters, Zou's pimple smile deepened!In this room, only Tao Li'an hung his head.He is very clear about how Mrs. Zou has been doing these years. Back then, Mrs. Zou was the prettiest girl in their village, and he was still driving a car for the town... Now, his wife has not had a new dress for so many years. Just thinking about it makes me feel extremely sad. After all, it's all because of his incompetence!

"Where does mother have no clothes to wear?" Mrs. Zou gently patted the heads of the two daughters, "Mother's clothes can still be worn, you are all big girls, if you have materials, I will make two clothes for you!"
