Chapter 1140: The ten years that disappeared
The corners of Hua Zhao's mouth trembled, but their family names were simple.
But this is also understandable. The old farmers of that era didn't like gold and jade. They were too far away from them, so they liked rice and white noodles.
If Dundun can eat rice and white noodles, it will be a life of immortals.
"How did you meet my sister? How is she? How are my parents?" Mrs. Tao asked excitedly.
This time, it was Hua Zhao's turn to get stuck.
"She is fine, and I don't know much about her current situation, so let me ask you." Hua Zhao said.
She didn't want to meet her on the spot right now.
And she felt that the old lady was suspicious.
She clearly knew her ancestral home and where her relatives were, why didn't she tell her? Why is the account scrambled? Why haven't we been in touch for so many years?
Why hide your identity?
Hua Zhao looked at Tao Lan, and he was surprised the whole time.
Although this person has always been fake, this expression is real.
If he had known about her relationship with Mrs. Zhang, then this scene might not have happened, and he might have come to recognize his relatives earlier.
Let her figure out the relationship. Mrs. Tao is Mrs. Zhang's younger sister, so she also has to call her grandma, grandma's son is her uncle...
what the hell!
Or is this all information someone made up based on her identity? Hua Zhao guessed that he deliberately stuffed her with an uncle and approached them.
However, she looked at the faces of the two and felt that the possibility was very small. Tao Lan was three or four similar to her mother, and Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Zhang were eighty.
"Auntie, why did you escape from the famine all by yourself? Zhangjiatun has been doing well, and I have never heard of anyone who escaped from the famine." Hua Zhao said.
They rely on the mountain to eat the mountain. Their mountain is not a stone mountain. There are many trees, fruits, and wild animals on the mountain. When people starve to death, they are all right.
If you are hungry, you are hungry, but you will never starve to death, and no one in the village will escape from the famine.
Mrs. Tao paused and said, "At that time, the war was chaotic, and once to hide from the devils, everyone hid in the mountains and hid for a long time. , and then ran into the traffickers..."
She didn't say anything after that.
The old black and yellow complexion suddenly turned a little red, his face was not affectionate, and he seemed to be excited and humiliated.
When a girl in her teens encounters a human trafficker, it may not only be a matter of starving for a few meals and finding someone to sell it...
Hua Zhao suddenly asked, "Auntie, how old are you this year?"
Mrs. Tao put away her expression and blurted out, "I'm 58 this year."
Tao Lan was stunned and glanced at her mother, isn't it 50? It's written on the account! He always thought his mother was 50 years old, and so did outsiders.
Mrs. Tao also reacted incorrectly, and immediately looked nervously at her son, then at Hua Zhao, and then she had a choice.
She has already told Hua Zhao about her old age, so sooner or later she will know her true situation, so there is no need to lie.
"You didn't have a hukou when you came out. Your dad wanted to save face at the time, and he tabloided how old he was when he settled down for me." Mrs. Tao said to her son.
Tao Lan was relieved, so it was.
And indeed it should be.
He is 27 years old and thought his mother married his father at the age of 22 and gave birth to him.
Although the marriage age of a woman is a little old, it is still normal.
But adding another 8 years, the mother was brought home by her father at the age of 30? So where was she between her teenage years and her 30s? ?
Tao Lan couldn't even think about it.
He suddenly regretted bringing his mother to the door today.
He also blamed his mother for not telling him about such a big thing! Now open your mouth and tell outsiders! Leave him unprepared.
He quickly looked towards Hua Showa and Ye Li.
Ye Li was a little surprised, but when she saw him, she immediately smiled at him, her eyes full of little stars.
Hua Zhao's expression was always calm and calm, but he couldn't see anything.
Maybe she conspiratorial identity, just to hide the trajectory of her life for more than ten years? Hua Zhao guessed.
Moreover, she only exposed the scars of her enemies. She was always friendly to strangers, and naturally she would not laugh at Mrs. Tao.
So she completely put aside the topic and greeted Mrs. Tao to eat fruit.
Mrs. Tao had already broken the jar and asked Hua Zhao, "How did you and my sister know each other?"
"She came to our village to get acquainted with someone after a fight." Hua Zhao said.
Mrs. Tao choked, and it's not easy to ask again.
Her sister was still so pungent when she was young, and the quarrels went to other villages.
that....
Thinking of something, Mrs. Tao's lips trembled several times, but she didn't ask.
She eats fruit quietly.
Zhou Lihua moved quickly, and with the help of Sun Yan, she quickly served some cold dishes.
The only thing Zhou Lihua was satisfied with about Sun Yan was that she was diligent in her hands and feet, she could cook, and her house was fairly clean. She looked like a woman, not Miss Jiao.
Otherwise, she has to teach her what rules are!
Soon, a sumptuous meal is ready.
"Old sister, Teacher Tao, eat while it's hot, you're welcome!" Zhou Lihua greeted warmly with a glass of wine in hand: "In the future, we will get along as relatives and walk around often!"
Mrs. Tao and Tao Lan both raised their wine glasses.
Tao Lan is graceful and gentle, and Zhou Lihua is very satisfied.
Although Mrs. Tao came from such a bad background, she was a little satisfied with being married to a cadre family for decades.
Ye Li suddenly grabbed Tao Lan's wine glass: "You can't drink! Your injury is still not healed!"
This tone, this attitude, is like a little daughter-in-law taking care of her husband.
Tao Lan suddenly felt embarrassed.
Zhou Lihua glared at Ye Li: "I don't know if Teacher Tao's injury is healed yet? I poured water in his cup on purpose!"
Ye Li was finally embarrassed. She was busy with dinner just now and didn't see it.
She has never done the job of serving food for others. She has only served food for herself.
At that time, she had served the whole table with food just now.
In exchange, Zhou Lihua got a few blank eyes.
"Come on, Teacher Tao, drink this cup, I thank you for saving my daughter!" Zhou Lihua said with the glass.
After a meal, Hua Zhao finally saw the legendary Zhou Lihua's refreshing energy when she was young.
She is eloquent and can talk, and she says what others want to hear, and she is guaranteed to make people happy.
It's just that I'm getting old and drifting away, and I have forgotten this skill.
But now it has hit rock bottom again, and the skill has been reactivated.
A meal enjoyed by the host and guests.
The happiest is Ye Li.
She thought that her mother would look down on Tao Lan's background and embarrass him.
Thank you mother no!
As a result, Zhou Lihua got another look at her.
Before leaving, Mrs. Tao asked Hua Zhao, "When will you help me find out the news?"
