Chapter 215 Meeting the in-laws
Tao Li asked all the way before he found a post office with a telephone inside.
He held the phone, but he didn't know where to make the call.
"Hey, hurry up if you're calling in front, there's still a queue behind you."
People who came to the post office were all doing business. Tao Li was urged by the people in line behind him. He looked at it and asked: "Comrade, do you know what the phone number is for Yinjiazhuang? I'm looking for someone!"
The staff member inside the window glanced at Tao Li: "Yinjiazhuang didn't answer the phone. You can call Jiedao Village. They are all from the same brigade."
When Tao Li heard that he didn't even get a call, he kept coming and going, and he didn't know how many things would be delayed. It was already dark.
"Who in Yinjiazhuang are you looking for and what are you doing?" asked the person who originally urged him to call.
Tao Li said angrily: "Look for the head of their village."
Yin Guofu looked Tao Li up and down and knew that this was Tao Wan's father.
Today he came to town to do some business, and he also accepted Tao Wan's letter. He wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some good food on the way back, so that Tao Li wouldn't be too lazy at home.
Now his eldest daughter-in-law has just given birth to a fat grandson, and Liu Yan is taking care of her in the county town. He is at home alone and won't make a fuss. When he happens to be in town, he comes over to make a phone call to ask about Liu Yan's recent situation.
Tao Li was about to dial the number, but Yin Guofu stopped him with his hand: "Brother, I am Yin Guofu, the village chief of Yinjiazhuang, and I am also Qingbai's father. Are you Wanwan's father?"
Even though children are born early in rural areas, Yin Qingbai is already their third son, so Yin Guofu is still older than Tao Li.
After being called "brother" awkwardly, Tao Li took a serious look at Yin Guofu.
He has the roughness of a rural man, but also has a dignified appearance.
If you look closely, you can see that Yin Qingbai looks a bit like him.
Tao Li didn't expect the other party to recognize his identity, but he wasn't too surprised. After thinking about it, he knew that his daughter had been communicating with him a long time ago.
"Let's go, let's go, I happened to buy some vegetables. Brother, you've worked hard all the way. Come to our house and I'll pick you up!"
Yin Guofu was very polite. After all, as a man's parent, it was necessary to have basic respect for the woman. What's more, Tao Wan was a child who suited their liking.
"Join the wind and wash the dust? Who wants you to pick up the wind and wash the dust for me! Please return my daughter to me quickly, I want to take her back!"
Tao Li didn't come to see his in-laws.
"Ah? Xiao Tao didn't come back," Yin Guofu pulled Tao Li aside, "Let's come over and say, don't delay this comrade's work."
Tao Li blew his beard and glared: "Stop lying to me, where could I have gone if I hadn't come here?! If your Yin Qingbai hadn't nudged her, could she have run away from home?!"
"No, no, no, brother, you have misunderstood what you said. Xiaotao is a good child, how could he run away from home? Yesterday, she called Jiedao Village to send a message saying that you were coming over.
The child must be at your home now. If you don’t believe me, call back and ask.”
Yin Guofu pointed to the phone number at the post office. Tao Li snorted coldly, then walked over and dialed his home phone number.
Tao Wan was in the hospital, answering the phone about Aunt Zhang.
"Yes, sir, the lady came back last night. When she saw that you were not there, I told you to pack your things and catch the train."
Aunt Zhang replied truthfully.
Tao Li hung up the phone, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
That heartless Bai Yanhe was misleading him again!
He made this trip in vain and let this bumpkin see the joke out of thin air.
Yin Guofu looked at Xiao Tao's father, Comrade Lao Tao, who seemed to be really not very smart. He wanted to laugh but only touched his nose: "Anyway, you are welcome to come to my house and let's take care of the two cups."
"No, if Wanwan is not here, I will go back first."
Tao Li touched the collar of his shirt.
"Where are you going now? You can't buy a train ticket, so why don't you go to a guest house in the county town?"
Yin Guofu asked Tao Li a question that gave Tao Li a headache. Seeing that Tao Li's face became slack, he pulled him onto the bicycle with all his strength.
Tao Li had not ridden on this thing for many years, and the mountain road was bumpy. Every time he walked a mile, he jumped out of the car and said, "I'd better walk on my own legs!"
"That's a bit far. If I had known better, I would have driven our village tractor out to pick you up!"
Yin Guofu had no choice but to get off his bicycle and drive to accompany Tao Li.
As he walked, he told him about Tao Wan's queue-jumping here before.
"This grassland looks very lush now. When winter comes, you can see that the terrain is actually lower than this road. If you accidentally step on the road, your bones will be brittle and easy to break if you fall! Xiao Tao every time
Be very careful when walking here, holding a small stick and poking in front of you."
The scenery of Shanhaiwan Bay is still good, and Tao Li, who is used to two o'clock and one line, really feels a little relaxed all of a sudden.
"What kind of work does she usually do? When I asked her, she would only say that she was not tired." Tao Li took the initiative to chat.
"It's just registration. It's tiring to say the least. Xiao Tao works carefully. She has repaired every management tool. In the entire Shanhaiwan Brigade, our village's tools are the best! But after she left, this tool
The situation began to deteriorate again.”
This was no different from what Tao Wan said. Yin Guofu was good at talking. He said it in support of Tao Wan and praised him very sincerely. Tao Li raised his tail and said, "I don't brag about Wan Wan in our family. He does everything."
Very good. Just say she should take the exam. At first I wanted to give her a back door to welcome her home, but look at it, she passed the exam on her own and passed the exam!"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Tao has a good life, so how can he stay here all his life? Now the people in our village teach their children and let them learn from Xiao Tao as a role model!"
Yin Guofu said this to Tao Li all the way and walked home in the scorching sun.
After three rounds of drinking, Tao Li was drunk by Yin Guofu with high-altitude grain wine brewed by himself. Fortunately, his usual drinking capacity would not make him fall on the wine table: "I'll tell you clearly, our family is late
Wan, it is impossible to marry someone like you! Do you know that with Wan Wan's conditions, even the King of Heaven can find him in Yancheng! Who is your son? He is just a poor boy."
"Brother, it's okay for you to dislike our family's family background, but let me tell you, this kid Qingbai will definitely be successful in the future. I'm not bragging." Yin Guofu's drinking capacity was even worse than that of Tao Li, who often socialized.
Jiu Burp said, "If Qingbai can go out to this small mountain village, he will definitely have the opportunity to skyrocket in the future. He is matched with Xiao Tao. We are the ones who are high on him now, but in the future, he will never let you down! In-laws, don't bully young people."
poverty!"
"Who is your in-law! Pour me another glass!"
Tao Li stretched out his wine glass. He was not so repelled by Yin Guofu: "If he flies again, where can he go? Now there are young people with backgrounds and prospects lined up three streets from our door. Who wouldn't want to?"
