Dressed as A Full-level Boss’s Palm Pet

Today is the second day of the new year. As agreed, today’s dinner will be eaten at Lili’s house.

Guan Qingbai will also come.

So today Taotao and Song Zhi’s task is to go to Professor Huang’s house in the morning to pay New Year’s greetings, and to go to Professor Fu’s New Year’s greetings in the afternoon…

Early in the morning, Tao Tao and Song Zhi got up.

Dumplings for breakfast.

At present, there are eight people in the family eating, six adults and two children, and most of them are men, so they eat a lot. Nearly 200 dumplings were killed in one breakfast!

Of course, these dumplings are made by Xiao Zhanghe, by Xiao Chen, and with minced meat and peach flavored by Song Zhi, and they are made by everyone…

There are six kinds of fillings, including shallot meat, leek meat, celery meat, mushroom meat, sauerkraut meat and cabbage meat. They are only plump and fat, with thin skin and fat filling, and delicious taste. In addition, when Taotao cooks the dumplings, they are mixed, and everyone has no idea what kind of dumplings they will eat, so they are really looking forward to it.

It’s a satisfying meal for everyone!

After eating dumplings, everyone felt their chubby belly and sighed comfortably on the sofa.

Zhao Hongjun was worried, “Following the chief to come to Taotao Songzhi’s place to enjoy myself…I haven’t exercised much. After the New Year, I’m afraid I will gain ten pounds!”

Song Zhi gave him an idea, “After a while, you guys will go and reorganize the warehouse in the backyard. Not only did you exercise, but also help to organize, how wonderful!”

Zhao Hongjun waved his hand, “Xiao Zhang Xiaochen, let’s go now! We can’t delay watching the martial arts video with the chief and Feifei Momo later!”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Tao Tao also smiled.

She told Song Xi about her and Song zhi’s arrangements today.

Song Xi waved his hand, “Let’s go! We’re going to the video room just like yesterday! You don’t have to worry about us for lunch, we’ll come back and cook by ourselves!”

Tao Tao smiled and nodded, “That’s it!”

So she and Song rank took carefully selected gifts and went out together on bicycles.

But, as soon as the courtyard door was opened—

Taotao saw Li Cuier sitting under the gate of her own courtyard at a glance?

With tears in her eyes, Li Cuier quickly stood up when she saw Taotao, and asked Taotao sadly and resentfully, “The… where is the treasure?”

In fact, when she was on the show last night, Taotao was already mentally prepared to prevent Li Cuier from coming over to make trouble.

Unexpectedly, she actually spent a quiet night?

So when Taotao saw Li Cuier today, she was already prepared.

“I repeat, I don’t know!” Tao Tao said.

Song Zhi also looked at Tao Tao, his eyes were hesitant: Cai Bao has been at the police station for a day and a night, still can’t tell Li Cuier his whereabouts?

Taotao motioned to him: Look at me!

Song Zhi was silent.

Li Cui’er burst into tears, “I know it’s you… You hid the treasure, right? Give me back my eldest grandson…”

She has always been rude.

When she was in Wangjiacun last night, she was taunted by the White Pearl sisters and cried all night, and she finally understood… In the past, the first, second, and third rooms let her go because her mother-in-law Chen The reason why Juxiang loves Sifang.

But now Chen Juxiang has already remarried and died, and the third and fourth and the eldest and second are not from the same mother, or even from the same father…

No one is used to her anymore.

At the beginning, she relied a lot on her being an aunt, an elder, and even the children of the eldest, second and third rooms.

——Bai Taotao in the big room, Sister Bai Zhenzhu in the third room, and others, hated her to the bone, how could they still let her and protect her?

It’s funny that she didn’t understand it until now.

But even so, her precious eldest grandson can’t be lost!

“Bai Taotao! You have hatred and anger in your heart… all of them are coming at me,” Li Cui said sobbing, “… My treasure is still a child!”

Taotao sneered, “What are you afraid of? Didn’t you want to hand over your eldest grandson to me? Then why are you looking for him now?”

Li Cuier was at a loss for words.

After a pause, Li Cui’er came back to her senses and was overjoyed, “So, you agreed to keep my treasure for me? Then… where is he now? How is he doing? What did he eat? Oops, I haven’t eaten yet! “

Tao Tao smiled, “I’m not a landlord, how can I have the spare money to support him! However, like him, his parents are just like dead, and the state will take care of people who don’t care at all!”

Li Cuier was stunned, “What do you mean? The state controls him… What does it mean?”

Tao Tao smiled, “Oh, I suddenly remembered that a bad guy broke into my house yesterday and wanted to kill me! So I called the police. The police came and arrested the murderer…”

Li Cuier was stunned, “What did you say, Bai Taotao?”

“Didn’t you teach him to find an opportunity to break into my house, he is still a child, do I have to take care of him?” Tao Tao sneered.

Li Cui’er became more and more terrified, “Yeah, that’s right! He’s just a child! Why do you care about a child? You, you… did you really call the police?”

Tao Tao nodded.

Li Cuier screamed, “The police really took our treasure?”

Tao Tao nodded again.

“Bai Taotao, why is your heart so dark!” Li Cui’er shouted angrily, “You can also do anything to kill your relatives?”

Taotao stared at Li Cui’er and said word by word, “I came out of the countryside step by step… Up to now, it’s my own ability! If you are envious, then you are just like me!”

“There are a lot of people who are as diligent as me and more diligent than me, and they all live well. So your wealthy life has nothing to do with you, not others!”

“But you don’t need to be lazy, you are still like a blood-sucking worm, all day long you just want to **** other people’s blood and take advantage of others? Hmph, you still have the face to say that you and your grandson are my relatives? What kind of relatives are you?”

“That’s why I advise you… Get out of here! Come on to my idea… I have a way to let your eldest grandson eat free prison meals for the rest of his life! And the prison guards can teach your brilliant eldest grandson to read and recognize. Character!”

Li Cuier was stunned by Taotao’s scolding.

She couldn’t say a word for a long time.

It wasn’t until then that Li Cui’er remembered… Bai Taotao once sent White Pearl to prison! At that time, it was not revealed that the three-bedroom and four-bedroom was not the kind of the Bai family!

At that time, Bai Taotao was only a teenager, and she was already able to do such a cold-blooded thing.

now?

Li Cuier screamed, “Where is my treasure!”

Taotao sneered, “Look, this is an expression of no culture! Didn’t I already say it? Treasure rushed into my house, trying to kill me… and was taken away by the police. So you still don’t know where to look. Your precious grandson?”

Li Cuier’s face was ashen, “Prison? How many years has he been sentenced to?”

Taotao smiled, “Why don’t you go back to Bai Feicui and ask? After all, you listened to her foolishness and came up with such a good strategy to send your precious grandson to Kyoto to break the law. of!”

Saying that, Tao Tao shouted: “Dad, there are dogs outside! Be careful when you and the children go out!”

Song Xi and the others had heard the movement outside in the yard, and they were looking out through the crack of the door right now!

Hearing Taotao’s explanation, Song Xi responded, “…Understood! You all go!”

Tao Tao and Song Zhi rode their bicycles away.

Li Cui’er sat at the door of Taotao’s house in a panic and cried for a long time, and finally returned to Wangjia Village.

– There’s no way, she doesn’t know a single big character, so it’s good to be able to find this place from her hometown. If you ask her to go to the police and find treasure, she doesn’t know where to go!

Li Cuier left.

Peace in the world.

Tao Tao’s family had been busy for several days… Song Zhi’s students came to pay New Year’s greetings in a group, and several of his colleagues also came over in turn. Taotao’s students, colleagues and friends also found time to pay New Year’s greetings.

She and Song zhi were either at home, chatting, chatting, and inviting people to pay their respects to the New Year at home, or on their way out to pay New Year’s greetings…

Until the afternoon of the fourth day of the new year, Bai Zhuo’s family came to pay New Year’s greetings with large and small bags of New Year’s goods.

Bai Panjin enthusiastically introduced Taotao, saying that all the things she brought were grown by herself. In particular, the family brought a sack filled with building blocks of various shapes and sizes.

Bai Panjin said that this bag of building blocks was made by Ah Yao’s scraps and leftovers when he was a carpenter. People in the city are very happy to buy building blocks for their children now, but those are all painted, which is not good for children. The building blocks made by Ayao are logs, and the edges and corners are polished so smoothly that they will not hurt Momo…

Taotao solemnly thanked Bai Panjin and Ah Yao, but made Ah Yao quite embarrassed.

Taotao looked on coldly again, and found that Bai Feicui was not there, nor was Li Cui’er.

However, Taotao has always had a bad impression of these two, so she didn’t want to ask a question, she just commanded Song Zhi with a smile, “Today we eat hot pot! It’s simple, fast, and warm… But there are so many of us, one pot is not enough, we divide it into two. Two pots! One pot for adults and one pot for children!”

Song zhi nodded and got busy.

Ah Yao and Lulu rushed to the kitchen to help Song Zhi; Song Xi led the guards, Feifei Momo, Huihui and Tingting to the basketball court outside to play fireworks…

Bai Zhuo and Bai Panjin accompany Tao Tao to speak.

Both the sisters frowned deeply.

Bai Zhenzhu said, “Tao Tao, you must not know what happened yesterday, right?”

Tao Tao asked with a smile, “What’s the matter?”

White Pearl sighed and started talking.

——On the first day Li Cui’er arrived in Kyoto, she spent the night in Wangjia Village, and she insisted that a few sisters from the third room would accompany her to Bai Taotao’s house to find treasure. Sister White Pearl ignored her at all, and in the end, she thought she was too noisy and drove her out!

Li Cui’er, who was unfamiliar with this place, did not dare to go far, so she spent the night crying and squatting under the eaves of White Pearl. The next morning, Sister White Pearl still refused to accompany her to find Taotao, so Li Cuier had to take the bus and enter the city again.

At noon, Li Cui’er returned to Wangjia Village, and, without further ado, grabbed Bai Feicui and beat her!

However, Li Cui’er is fifty years old after all. She has been undernourished and malnourished for many years, and her body is thin and lacking in strength; Bai Jade is in her thirties, young and strong… As a result, Li Cui’er was severely beaten by Bai Jade. Beaten up!

In the end, Li Cui’er was beaten until her nose was bruised, her face was bruised, her hair was disheveled and she sat on the ground crying, and she kept howling for two or three hours! After all, this is a big New Year’s Eve, and everyone wants to be happy. The neighbors were also annoyed by Li Cui’er’s crying, so they came over and asked Bai Pearl what was going on.

Helpless, Bai Zhenzhu had to ask Li Cuier what she wanted to do.

Li Cui’er said: She asked Bai Feicui to accompany her to find the treasure, because Bai Taotao said that the treasure was caught by the police, but Li Cui’er didn’t know where the police were, so she asked Bai Feicui to take her there.

Of course, in the process, there are countless gossips…

The main reason is that Li Cui’er blamed Bai Jade, saying that Bai Jade instigated her to bring her treasures to Kyoto and wanted to take advantage of Bai Taotao’s sisters. So Bai Jade must help her find the treasure.

Li Cui’er’s ability to grind people is very powerful, and finally Bai Feicui had to lead Li Cui’er to the police station in the Ganxiu area.

As a result, the treasure was found very smoothly.

But there are also police who recognize Bai Jade!

——It turns out that this policeman had previously handled the case of Bai Feicui and his accomplices setting up a bureau “Fairy Jumping”, and was later transferred to Kyoto because of his relocation.

Back then, all of Bai Feicui’s accomplices were caught, and only Bai Feicui slipped through the net. It is precisely because of this that the accomplices put all the sins on Bai Jade’s head! Bai Jade was detained on the spot!

Li Cuier was frightened. However, she has no feelings for Bai Jade, she just begged the police with snot and tears… to release her precious grandson.

Only then did Li Cuier know that Cai Bao really wanted to kill Bai Taotao! Several police officers were on the scene, and there were witnesses and evidence! Moreover, after the treasure was brought to the police station by the police, they were very uncooperative. Originally, the police did not let him into the interrogation room, but let him go to the office. As a result, he made trouble, smashed all the desks and chairs in the office, and tried to escape under various excuses.

He even grabbed a female police officer and tried to take the female police officer hostage and flee the police station.

In the end, he was killed by the policewoman who was a retired female soldier!

Treasure was so noisy and attacked the police, so the police transferred him to the detention center.

Speaking of this, Bai Zhenzhu said worriedly: “If the treasure is still in the police station, it would be fine… After three days at most, he must be released! But now he has been transferred to the detention center…”

Bai Panjin asked curiously, “What happened to the detention center?”

Bai Zhenzhu explained: “The detention centers are all criminal suspects.”

Bai Panjin still didn’t understand.

Tao Tao explained a few words, “…that is to say, when he was detained at the police station, he was not necessarily guilty. The police were just investigating the situation. But if he was detained in the detention center, it would prove… that he was guilty. It’s ironclad.”

Bai Zhenzhu was worried, “You said, why is he so tyrannical in the police station?”

Bai Panjin sighed at Cai Bao’s self-destruction, and at the same time gave the answer, “…It’s not that Li Cui’er has been spoiled by Li Cui’er, and he thinks that the king and Laozi are all his servants!”

Taotao asked again, “What about Li Cuier?”

Bai Zhenzhu replied: “I went to pick her up yesterday, but she refused to come back with me, she insisted on squatting at the door of the detention center and crying… I couldn’t persuade, but I didn’t have the strength to persuade, so I left. She loves it. I’m too lazy to care about her… I don’t owe her anything!”

Taotao continued to ask, “What about the white jadeite?”

Bai Zhenzhu sighed, “…I don’t know! We can’t see her, and the police won’t let her. Yesterday we sent some clothes and food in… Then the police said, let’s not send it in the future, and said that she will be gone soon too. She is going to be sent to the detention center. If we want to see her, we will go to the detention center to register and apply for a visit!”

This afternoon, she didn’t know how many times she sighed.

Taotao asked again, “Do Huihui and Tingting know?”

Bai Panjin replied, “We told Huihui Tingting that Jade sent Li Cui’er back to Ruyi Village… Let’s hide it for now, I don’t know how long it will last.”

Tao Tao still has some understanding of Bai Jade’s children.

——Bai Feicui doesn’t like her children, and most of the time she is the boss of the hands. So much so that the two children got closer to Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Panjin. It is also possible that Bai Zhenzhu, Bai Panjin, and A Yao’s leading by example affected these two children, but they are quite well-behaved.

Bai Zhenzhu said, “I’m looking forward to hiding them for a while… After we find out how many years Pearl was sentenced to, we can continue to make up other reasons!”

When it was time for dinner, Song Xi led the children back.

Bai Zhuo and Bai Panjin kept their mouths shut about Bai Jade. Everyone had a lively meal and exchanged red envelopes. Bai Zhuo and Bai Panjin took the children away.

Taotao told the family about Bai Feicui, Li Cui’er and Cai Bao.

A day later, Song Zhi went to inquire about Bai Feicui and Cai Bao, and came back and told Tao Tao:

“Bai Feicui has already pleaded guilty. I heard from the detective who handled her that if she didn’t escape, she would have been sentenced to three years at most… But she has run away for so many years and has never turned her back on herself. Even if she confesses now, it’s at least three years. Start the year!”

“Caibao refused to obey the discipline, and when he arrived at the detention center, the trouble was even bigger. Not only did he fight with other prisoners, but he also broke the bridge of the discipline’s nose… But he was still young, only twelve years old. I heard that he had already been arrested. Sent to the juvenile detention center… His condition is relatively bad, and it is estimated that he will stay in the juvenile detention center for three to five years.”

Tao Tao nodded, “These people have nothing to do with us… ah, by the way, have you bought everything I asked you to buy?”

——Tomorrow is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Taotao and Song Zhi are going back to work. After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Song Xi’s annual leave is gone, and he has to go back to Nandu. Feifei and Momo are also starting school.

Therefore, Song Zhi has been buying local products everywhere according to the list listed by Taotao for the past two days.

When Song Xi returned to the southern capital, he asked him to take it with him. After all, there is not only Song Xi alone, but Song Sui and pregnant Xing Xing.

This year is the happiest year in Song Xi’s sixties.

But no matter how reluctant he was, the Lantern Festival came as scheduled on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

After dinner, a large family sat in the sheltered pavilion on the second floor rooftop, watching the moon, eating melon seeds and eating snacks, and roasting sweet potatoes in a charcoal basin…

Song Xi looked at his son and his daughter-in-law, and his reluctant eyes finally shifted to the two eldest grandsons.

He has to leave tomorrow.

Looking back on the whole month that I spent with my children and grandchildren, every day… I was very fulfilled and happy, and I really want to live like this forever.

Song Zhi was also a little reluctant, and even more noticed something from his father’s attachment to Feifei’s eyes.

He said to Song Xi: “Dad, why don’t you retire and move to Kyoto… Taotao and I stay in the Northwest for most of the year, Momo can still follow us, but Feifei will soon be To go to middle school, he must stay in Kyoto to study. If you retire, there will be someone here to accompany Feifei.”

Song Xi, “Do you think I don’t want to retire? The organization won’t let me!”

After a pause, he carefully discussed again: “Or, let Feifei go to Nandu to go to middle school?”

Song Zhi and Tao Tao exchanged glances.

Tao Tao was a little unwilling in her heart.

In the junior high schools in Kyoto, the teachers are still stronger than those in Nandu. Besides, she had already picked her favorite school for Feifei… Now, she wants to go to Nandu for Feifei to go to school?

Song Zhi, “Dad, let’s discuss this matter slowly.”

Song Xi waved his hand, “It’s alright, you can talk it over and then tell me! It’s really not good, it’s the same with Feifei’s third aunt looking after him. Anyway, Feifei still has three years of junior high school and three years of high school, a total of six years. Time…I’m definitely retired!”

Zhao Hongjun was sitting beside him, and he was roasting sweet potatoes with tongs on his waist.

Hearing the chat between the chief and his sons and daughters-in-law, he couldn’t help laughing.

——The chief used to be a man of steel, always resolute and unequivocal. But now I have learned to negotiate with my children and grandchildren, and I am willing to compromise and make concessions.

And in this month, Zhao Hongjun is the first time he has seen such a childish side of the chief…

Yes, it’s very smoky.

Even Zhao Hongjun also liked the atmosphere at Tao Tao and Song Zhi’s home. The family loves each other and is friendly. Of course, there will be times of anger and conflict between family members, but they will always talk about it in time.

Unfortunately……

At this time, Zhao Hongjun suddenly heard Song Xi say: “Tao Tao, if anyone in your neighborhood wants to sell a house, you should pay attention. Xiao Zhao wants to buy a house in this neighborhood. It is best to have a smaller apartment. The important thing is that it is cheap.”

Zhao Hongjun was stunned, raised his head and looked at Song Xi.

Song Xi didn’t want to look Zhao Hongjun’s eyes directly, and turned his head to the side.

After listening to her father-in-law’s words, Tao Tao still can’t understand what her father-in-law meant?

—— Zhao Hongjun is already over fifty and no longer young. His parents and family are long gone, and there is only one younger sister, who died of dystocia more than ten years ago.

The former Zhao Hongjun, like Song Xi, was a lonely man.

Now Song Xi has reconciled with his son, but Zhao Hongjun…

Tao Tao nodded and said with a smile: “Okay, no problem! Now that the house is equipped with a telephone, if there is any trouble, I will call right away!”

Song Xi thought that his son’s house had already installed a telephone. If he misses his son or grandson in the future, he will make a phone call… Although he can’t meet in person, it’s good to hear the voice and talk.

The sadness in his heart lessened a little.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and they were reluctant to end the tea party before leaving until late at night.

In the end, Feifei fell asleep beside his grandfather, and Momo climbed into his grandfather’s arms and fell asleep…

Tao Tao came forward to be the bad guy and urged everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Song Xi was about to embark on the journey of returning to the south.

He took a special car to go back, and it happened that he also arranged inspection work. All the way south, he had to meet several bigwigs in other military regions.

It was precisely because he took a special car back that Tao Tao dared to prepare a lot of things for him with confidence.

Of course, most of them are local products, but Taotao also pays people to order a lot of things.

For example: a wide belt that can be stuffed with a hot water bottle, cotton knee pads, etc.; in addition, there are medicines prescribed by an old Chinese medicine doctor for Song Xi, who have already prescribed the medicines according to the prescription, and have also made clear the requirements for decoction and drinking. Chu Di wrote it on the paper and handed it over to Zhao Hongjun for safekeeping…

As everyone knows, Taotao has not finished explaining Zhao Hongjun…

Guan Qingbai’s security guard drove a jeep full of local specialties, saying that these were given to Mr. Song by Mr. Guan… Most of them were snacks and cakes from several well-known and time-honored restaurants in Kyoto.

Following, Li Li also took Mrs. Huo’s special car and came to deliver things to Song Xi. Most of the food she gave were the food she made and a cup of medicinal soup, which Song Xi and the others took to eat on the road.

In the end, even Ah Yao stepped on his bicycle and came over to deliver things to Song Xi.

The simple young man can’t speak, and he gestures with his hands, but he can barely let Song Xi know that the things he brought are not valuable, but they are all the output of his own fields, please don’t dislike Song Xi, of course those mushrooms Yes, I will also take it to Nandu for Tang Li and Xing Xing…

It was the first time Song Xi felt such simple family affection and cherishment. With red eyes, he turned his head aside, ignoring anyone for a long time.

It wasn’t until he was able to control his emotions that Song Xi waved to the crowd calmly and got into the car with a dashing movement.

“Boom-“

A muffled sound rang out!

Song Xi’s forehead slammed into the roof of the car?

Song zhi was stunned, “Dad, are you all right?”

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Song Xi’s forehead.

Song Xi’s face flushed, “It’s okay! I’m so afraid! I’ve never been afraid of dying in battle before, I…”

“Grandpa! For you!” Mo Mo said loudly.

Song Xi looked down and saw the little grandson handing over a candy?

He has long stopped resisting candy – staying at his son’s house for a whole month, he eats candy with his grandchildren every day, and knows what brand and taste are the best!

For example, the candy that Momo handed over was the most delicious orange-flavored hard candy.

Momochao likes this kind of candy, but Taotao is afraid of his tooth decay, so he won’t give him too much. The only way for Momo to save this kind of candy is to do the questions, do a lot of the questions in the study book, and maintain a high accuracy rate, so that he can exchange for an orange candy when his mother’s requirements are met.

Now, Momo is actually willing to give him his favorite candy?

Song Xi was moved, “It’s still Momo who treats me well!”

Mo Mo carefully peeled off the candy wrapper and fed Grandpa the candy, “Grandpa, be good! Listen to my mother and take medicine on time every day! Grandpa, if you want Momo, call Momo… “

Song Xi nodded again and again.

With candy in his mouth, he got into the car and waved to the crowd.

The vehicle started, slowly drove away, and finally disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Next, Feifei and Momo started school.

In fact, they didn’t go to school for a long time.

In March, Taotao and Song Zhi took their two sons, carrying large and small bags on their backs, and set off for the Northwest.

As far as Song Zhi is concerned, he has not been to the Great Northwest for three years. People haven’t arrived yet, and they feel the development and changes of the times during the journey.

Ten years ago, when he and Tao Tao flew to the Northwest for the first time, they were on a tattered green train, dirty, smelly and shabby. The spring canvas at the connection of the two carriages is almost all rotten, and there is air leakage everywhere!

At that time, the green leather car, the fastest speed of fifty or sixty yards, and stop-and-go, there is no car that is not late.

now what?

Song Zhi’s first impression was that the train carriage was much cleaner and brand new. The speed is faster, and there are no more random stops from time to time… Of course, it is also a little late, but compared to the previous day, or even two or three days, this time it was only an hour later, which is simply a surprise!

Furthermore, when changing trains or staying in hotels, there is no need for a letter of introduction anymore.

And there are many street lights and various neon sign light boxes on the street. Most of them are self-employed shops, selling everything, of course, there are also hotels.

Tao Tao was familiar with the road and took Song Zhi to a private hotel. “It’s not safe to live in a hotel outside. This one… We stay here every time we come and go. The owner of the hotel is my teacher’s hometown, and we are here. If you stay here for one night, you will definitely wait until Senior Sister Shi and Senior Brother Deng. Senior Sister Shi called me, and they also set off directly from their hometown in the past two days.”

Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun went round and round until last year… and finally got married.

Deng Gaoyun is already forty-five years old!

He and Shi Yuxi agreed not to have children… Because Shi Yuxi is also forty-two years old, it is too risky for her to have a child at her age. So what Deng Gaoyun meant was that the two worked hard to complete the project at hand.

Now Professor Fu is about to retire. In her team, Tao Tao and Deng Gaoyun have the best grades. Both of them have applied for the qualification of master tutor and started to guide students.

Shi Yuxi was still studying for a PhD, and Qi Huan and Chen Yicheng did not follow up on Professor Fu’s project. After graduating with a master’s degree, they were assigned to universities as lecturers.

Tao Tao took Song Zhi to the hotel to open a room.

Song Zhi walked around the hotel a few times and found that the self-employed hotel was no worse than a state-run guest house in terms of hardware decoration and various soft decorations!

And the price is not expensive, and the attitude of the waiter is also better.

It seems that this is the healthy competition brought about by the market economy.

The couple took their children in the room, took a comfortable afternoon nap, and then went out to forage for food and buy daily necessities.

Taotao told Song Zhi that in the past few years, the whole country has changed a lot.

In the past, money could not buy very rich materials, but now there are much more choices. And this change is especially evident in very remote and poor frontier cities.

Following Tao Tao onto the street, Song Zhi finally understood what she meant.

It is so!

In the past, ordinary people could only rely on the black market to improve their lives.

now?

Why is the night market in this small town so lively! The entire pedestrian street is two or three hundred meters long. The shops on both sides of the road are all open. There are snack shops, cloth shops, tailor shops, grain and oil shops, southern miscellaneous shops, clothing shops, as well as small household appliances and pharmacies. , jewelry store…

There are all kinds of things for sale!

And there are quite a lot of people shopping, and several snack bars were blocked by the crowd!

Taotao and the children took Song Zhi to their favorite wonton shop. As soon as they sat down, the proprietress came over to greet her warmly, “Mr. Bai is here! How are you Feifei and Mohei?”

Then he looked at Song Zhi again and hesitated for a while before asking, “Mr. Bai, is this your lover?”

Tao Tao smiled and nodded.

Song Zhi looked at the proprietress for a while, and felt vaguely familiar.

The proprietress smiled and said, “Mr. Song, you don’t know me anymore? I used to push a trolley to sell small wontons with seaweed and shrimp skin!”

Song Zhi suddenly realized.

Tao Tao smiled and said to the proprietress: “My lover just came back from abroad, I don’t know how good we have become here… You can tell him more!”

“It’s done!”

The proprietress first shouted at the back kitchen, “Lao Liang! Teacher Bai is here… I will give you four extra bowls of small wontons!”

While waiting for the wontons to be cooked, the proprietress chatted with Song Zhi about the changes in the county over the past few years.

——When she used to push a scooter to sell small wontons, Tian Tian was terrified and afraid of being caught. It is different now, the spring breeze of reform is blowing all over the land of China. She also hurriedly went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to register a self-employed, and then rented a shop earnestly and started business.

In the past, she used to get up early every day, and it was not bad to earn 20 yuan a month. Now she can earn 200 to 300 yuan a month! If it’s the school season or the Spring Festival, and there are many customers passing by, she even tried to earn 500 yuan a month!

So, her man stopped farming now, and brought the children over. The couple guarded the small shop and worked from morning to night. Now the two children have also found a school in the county…

The proprietress’s clothes are very simple, but she has a happy smile on her face, “…We can save more than 2,000 yuan a year! We recently discussed that if we don’t have a barbecue at night, we might make more money! In three years, we can also become a million-dollar household!”

Soon, the boss brought four bowls of small ravioli with seaweed and shrimp skin over, and the lady boss went to greet other guests.

Tao Tao’s family went to the night market to buy things after eating the little wontons.

She told Song Zhi, “Now I can choose rice or flour for my subsidized food. It’s no longer like in the past, only flour is the only choice… And now there is surplus food in the village, if there is not enough food, I can buy it directly from the villagers. Never again. There is no need to carry rice from the county town to the oasis. However, I want to buy a steamer, as well as condiments… these must be bought.”

The family visited the night market for a while, Tao Tao bought a large steamer, a steamer, and all kinds of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar…

Song Zhi asked Taotao if he was going to the hospital tomorrow to buy some regular medicine.

Tao Tao said with a smile: “No need now! There is a medical clinic in the village… After all, it is a large village with five or six hundred people! There is a doctor and a nurse who stay there, and sometimes nearby units and residents come here on purpose. Looking for them to see a doctor! We don’t need to bring medicines, it’s so troublesome!”

Song Zhi smiled.

He is looking forward to Lingxi Oasis even more.

As Tao Tao expected, when they returned to the hotel, Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi had already arrived at the hotel, and everyone was surprised and delighted when they met.

The next morning, Deng Shi and his wife went to the street to buy some good things, and they went with the Taotao family, got on a long-distance bus between urban and rural areas, and went to Lingxi Oasis.

Song Zhi was quite surprised!

——It turns out that Lingxi Oasis is already open to buses?

You know, Lingxi was not open to traffic before. If you want to go to Lingxi, or want to come out from Lingxi, you have to find a familiar water truck to hitch a ride! Therefore, if you are unfamiliar with the place of life, it is impossible to reach the oasis.

The shuttle bus staggered toward the final point of “Lingxi Oasis Station”.

This familiar, unfamiliar, and specious environment made Song Zhi couldn’t help but keep looking out of the car window.

before-

When he and Taotao first came, the land in Lingxi was so barren that only a clear spring was left. Only within five meters of the lake, there are some sparse and pitiful grasses.

In addition, the sky and the earth are all covered with a piece of yellow sand!

People stand in this heaven and earth, with their feet stepping on the ground that has been cracked into deep ravines over the years, and chasing a frenzied scorching sun above their heads. The air is too hot and burns the nasal cavity…

When there is no wind, people’s skin can be directly exposed to the sun, and the oil will be brimming; when there is wind, the strong wind is mixed with fine sand and gravel, which can scratch people’s skin bloody!

now what?

The bus he, Taotao and the children were on was driving on the road, about 20 miles away from Lingxi, and velvety grass was already growing on the ground! Everywhere, there are always a few half-dead bushes or bushes standing on the loess soil that is not so dry and cracked.

And the more you go in the direction of Lingxi…

First, you can see a windbreak forest, passing through the windbreak forest, the ground is paved with concrete roads, and the jeep is driving on the smooth road… The wind mixed with the smell of moist plants pours into the car, which is refreshing!

Song Zhi looked around
