Chapter 80: He Didn't Like Others Pulling Sister Taozi
Lin Sanzhu was naturally delighted and smiled from ear to ear. "I'm going to make pancakes." With that, she took out the lard can.
It was obvious that she didn’t intend to add in lard previously.
Su Tao's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything. She turned around and saw Su Zhi's mouth full of food residue. She walked over and slapped him on the head. "Can’t you eat properly? No one’s snatching the food from you. Have you memorized the book?"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhi felt like he was going to be beaten. He paused for a moment, then grabbed two pieces of cake and ran out, saying as he ran, "Sister, I was wrong. Don't beat me. I'll memorize it this afternoon. Sister, I really will memorize it this afternoon. Don't beat me."
Su Tao, "..."
She had to worry about everyone in this family.
Su Zhi wouldn't be able to support the family this way. No, she had to train him.
Lin Sanzhu insisted that Su Tao take two pancakes for Xie Yuntang to eat. Su Tao said that the Xie family wasn’t short of pancakes. After being lectured by Lin Sanzhu, she had no choice but to take them to Xie Yuntang.
When she returned to the Xie family’s house, she didn't see Xie Yuntang. She asked Mrs. Xie-Qin who was in the main hall, "Auntie Xie, where’s Brother Yuntang?"
"Duoyin just called him out. He should be on the dam. You can go and take a look." Mrs. Xie-Qin smiled.
"Auntie Xie, I'm going to look for Brother Yuntang." After hearing Mrs. Xie-Qin’s words, Su Tao ran out. Xie Yuntang was indeed playing on the dam.
They were throwing sandbags.
Xie Yuntang wasn't playing. Instead, he stood looking towards the mountain, which was the direction of her house.
Milksop must be thinking about her.
Su Tao patted his shoulder from behind. "Milksop, you didn't even wait for me when you came out."
After saying that, she handed the pancakes to him and said, "My mom asked me to give them to you. Be mentally prepared, they aren’t delicious."
Xie Yuntang’s eyes lit up when he saw her. Sister Taozi had come down from the mountain. He nodded. "They’re delicious."
"You haven't even eaten them yet. How do you know they’re delicious?" Su Tao slapped him on the head, but she didn’t use as much force as she did when she hit Su Zhi.
"Big Sister, come and play."
Zheng Duoyin was extremely happy to see her, as if he had spotted some treasure.
Su Tao pointed a finger at his forehead and warned, "Stay away from me. You're so dirty. I’m not going to play with you."
Her dress felt warm and she wanted to wear it for several more years.
"Let's play, Big Sister. Help me throw them. My hand aches from all the throwing just now." Zheng Duoyin pulled her thoughtlessly.
Su Tao raised her hand and hit him twice. She said through gritted teeth, "Zheng Duoyin! Are you tired of living? I said I don't want to play..."
Suddenly, her body swayed, and when she looked again, she saw Milksop standing in front of her.
Xie Yuntang looked at Zheng Duoyin and said seriously, "Sister Taozi said she doesn't want to play. Don't pull her, or you'll hurt her."
He didn't like others pulling Sister Taozi.
"Yuntang, you guys don't even play with us." In response, Zheng Duoyin didn't dare to pull Su Tao. He pouted a little unhappily. He just wanted to play with Su Tao.
Su Tao stood behind Xie Yuntang and poked her head out. "I can play if you want. But you guys must help me pick firewood on the mountain later."
She just noticed that there wasn’t much dry firewood left at home. The weather was sunny recently. They should be able to pick some dry firewood.
Zheng Duoyin and the other children didn't think much about it and happily agreed. They were fine with it as long as they could play.
Since they would help her with the work, Su Tao played with them. She raised her head slightly and looked at Xie Yuntang, "Milksop, do you want to play?"
"Yes." Xie Yuntang was a little excited.
Su Tao subconsciously wanted to take him with her. His skin was tender and he would definitely get hurt if he got hit. "Then you stay with me. Wherever I dodge, you follow."
Xie Yuntang nodded and followed her obediently.
Zheng Duoyin wanted to join them, and so did Zhou Sheng, so the teams were divided again.
The whole village could hear the group of children playing happily on the dam, and more and more children joined them.
"Yuntang, don't just follow Sister Taozi... this way, this way."
"Ouch! Goudan, why the hell did you throw it so hard? You almost broke my arm."
"Big Sister, Big Sister, hit him. That’s right. Hahahaha..."
Mrs. Xie-Qin came out to take a look, stood there for a long time, and then returned to the yard.
……
After the children had enough fun throwing sandbags, they rushed up the mountain and soon collected several bundles of firewood. Su Tao brazenly asked them to carry the firewood to the cave entrance, while she did no work.
Looking at the seven or eight bundles of firewood at the door, Lin Sanzhu was stunned for a moment. "Wretched girl, what are you doing?"
"I picked some firewood home. Isn't there no firewood left at home?"
Su Tao saw Xie Yuntang sweating profusely, so she went into the cave and grabbed her handkerchief to wipe his sweat. Knowing that he liked to be clean, she subconsciously explained, "This is still new. I haven't used it many times. It's not dirty."
The handkerchief belonged to Sister Taozi. Xie Yuntang was a little shy, but still took it. "Thank you, Sister Taozi."
"Big Sister, I want to wipe my sweat too." Zheng Duoyin panted beside her.
"Just wipe your sweat with your sleeve."
Su Tao rolled her eyes at him. He wasn't Milksop. He didn’t have to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief.
However, in consideration of their help in picking firewood, she went into the house and took some cakes.
Zheng Duoyin stamped his feet because of the partial treatment. "Big Sister, you’re biased. You treat Yuntang better than me."
"I'm glad you know that. Share these among yourselves." Su Tao wasn’t embarrassed to admit it. And then she handed the cakes to him.
Immediately, the children rushed to eat the cakes, not caring whether they were clean or not.
Su Zhi was unhappy because his cakes were eaten by others. He looked at Su Tao pitifully and said, "Sister, I don't have any..."
Su Tao, "..."
He ate quite a lot yesterday.
She flicked his forehead and said fiercely, "You can only eat them if you can memorize the book! If you can't, then you can't eat!"
After Xie Yuntang wiped the sweat off his face, he obediently asked Lin Sanzhu for water, then washed the handkerchief carefully and returned it to Su Tao. "Thank you, Sister Taozi."
"Don’t mention it."
Su Tao was hanging on the rope, and accidentally saw Lin Sanzhu staring at Milksop as if she wanted to eat him.
She quickly stood in front of Milksop and whispered to Lin Sanzhu, "Mom, don't look so creepy. You’ll scare Xie Yuntang."
The creepy Lin Sanzhu blushed. "..."
This wretched girl was so outrageous that she dared to say anything.
She held back the urge to hit Su Tao, for fear that she would scare Landlord Xie's son.
She smiled and said, "Yuntang, did Taozi give you the pancakes today?"
"Yes, she did. They were delicious," Xie Yuntang said softly.
His words made Lin Sanzhu happy and she grinned. "Drop by when you want to eat them. I’ll make them for you."
In her heart, Xie Yuntang was like her own son, even dearer than her own son.
"Thank you, Auntie Su." Xie Yuntang's eyes crinkled.
Su Tao was rendered speechless by them. "..."
After lingering at the entrance of the cave for a while, it was almost noon, so Su Tao asked Zheng Duoyin and the others to go down the mountain. She originally wanted to let Xie Yuntang go down as well, but he refused.
Lin Sanzhu happily invited him to lunch and hurried to buy meat and pick vegetables.
The smell of the fried meat was quite fragrant. Su Tao couldn't help but reach out and pick up a piece of meat to eat. It tasted pretty good.
She said in a wretched tone, "Mom, you’re being biased!"
Lin Sanzhu glared at her. "Wretched girl, you have such bad behavior!"
When Su Zhi saw his elder sister eating the meat, he also reached out his hand. However, before he could get anything, Lin Sanzhu slapped him on the back of his hand and said, "Where are your eating manners? Eat together later."
Su Tao, "..."
Su Zhi wasn’t smart at all. Lin Sanzhu was watching, yet he still reached out his hand.
He deserved to be slapped.
