Post 80's Mother's Daily Routine

Chapter 91- 95

Chapter 091 Fighting
"Xiao Hei..." Zhao Linan was nestled in Xu Tao's arms, looking at the black cat who couldn't wake up in confusion, blinking, as if he didn't understand why Xiao Hei didn't respond.

Xu Tao felt a little uncomfortable and put the child down. The child walked over to the black cat's corpse and continued to call: "Little black?"

Zhao Linan called Xiao Hei a few times, and the cat who would usually respond to him was still lying on the ground. The child was puzzled. Ask: "Mom, is Xiao Hei asleep?" Zhao Linan raised his head and asked Xu Tao.

Xu Tao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. How should you talk about Xiao Hei's death?

"Xiao Hei is dead." Zhao Weiguo crouched down and told Zhao Linan directly.

"Dead? Why did you die?" Zhao Linan asked, his little hand gently touching the two kittens next to him: "Are they Xiao Hei's sons?"

"Yes, they are Xiao Hei's children." Xu Tao nodded, When she wiped the two kittens yesterday, she didn't notice whether it was male or female.

"Oh." Zhao Linan was still young and didn't feel much about death, and because there were still two kittens, Zhao Linan just had some doubts: "Then mother, Xiao Hei died, what will they do in the future? They don't have a mother anymore."

"Then Xiaonan will be their mother, will you care for them?" Xu Tao asked patiently.

"Okay. Xiao Nan raised them as a cat mother." Zhao Linan instantly felt a heavy responsibility, and looked at Xu Tao and nodded solemnly.

He will definitely take good care of the two kittens.

Seeing Zhao Linan's serious expression, Xu Tao patted the child's head: "Then let's name the kitty."

"Huh?" Zhao Linan looked back at the two very small kittens, and struggled for a moment: "It's called Xiaoxiao. , it's called Benben."

"Why is it called Xiaoxiao and Benben?" Xu Tao was curious about the child's innocence.

"Mom, it's smaller than it, so it's called Xiaoxiao, it's big, it should be my brother, but it's stupid." Zhao Linan let Xu Tao see it directly.

"Okay, let's call it Xiaoxiao and Benben." Xu Tao looked at the two kittens and immediately made a decision.

Zhao Weiguo was in charge of disposing of Xiao Hei's body. He took Xiao Hei's body away while Zhao Linan was being coaxed by Xu Tao to wash his face and brush his teeth.

The two kittens are very small. Xu Tao has never raised cats, and doesn't even know how to distinguish male and female cats. He has no experience in taking care of cats, and is actually a little afraid of raising kittens to death.

Zhao Linan didn't even understand it, but Xu Tao could feel that Zhao Linan liked the two kittens very much. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he immediately made milk for the two kittens to drink.

"Mom, they're drinking milk." Zhao Linan thought the milk-drinking kitten was cute, so he talked to Xu Tao excitedly, poked with his little finger, and there was a warm smile in his eyes.

"It's cute." Xu Tao said in cooperation.

"Hmm." Zhao Linan's little head nodded very sharply.

Both Xu Tao and Zhao Linan liked the two cute little cubs, but they never dared to touch them. The mother and son looked at the little cubs and only dared to touch them gently with their index fingers, for fear that they would be hurt by the force. little guy.

Therefore, Zhao Weiguo washed the kitty's first bath.

"Aiming..." The kittens were small and had been raised for two days. In order to be clean and hygienic, they could only be bathed.

Xu Tao and Zhao Linan didn't dare to do anything, they could only watch Zhao Weiguo, a big man serving two kittens.

"Dad, be gentle." Zhao Linan stomped nervously when he heard the cat struggling and meowing.

"Okay." Zhao Weiguo bit his head and continued to wash. He finally washed and dried the two kittens. At the end, he was also sweating profusely.

"Thank you, Dad." Zhao Linan thanked him, and then took two kittens that were washed and put in a box to dry in the sun in the yard.

Zhao Weiguo said that the cats are easy to feed, and they were fed with milk and dried fish, and the two cute kittens grew up slowly and gradually became a member of the Zhao family.

Jin Nanxuan's opening is about to open, and Qin Yurou's staff training has not stopped. The waiters stood for several days, all complaining that their legs were sore, but they all persevered until they got used to it.

In the kitchen, there is the golden chef to help, and he has arranged their own work for all the chefs.

Su Meili has a lot of strength, so like the male chef, she has her own wok in the kitchen. In the beginning, she was more responsible for the staff meals of the restaurant.

Wang Juanjuan is more attentive and serious in her work. She is not strong enough, but she is very interested in carvings and small snacks, and she is very talented. Jin Yidao arranged for Wang Juanjuan to be mainly responsible for the dim sum.

Both Su Meili and Wang Juanjuan adapted well and did not disappoint Xu Tao.

As Jin Lao adjusted the menu and instructed Lao Ding, Lao Tang, and Fatty in their cooking skills, Jin Nanxuan's opening time was getting closer and closer.

On the opening day of Jinnanxuan Hotel, there were no clouds in the sky, and the autumn atmosphere was refreshing.

At eight in the morning, Zhao Weiguo drove Xu Tao and Zhao Linan to the Jinnanxuan Hotel.

Zhao Linan was originally going to the nursery, but when Jin Nanxuan opened, Xu Tao asked for leave for him. After all, it was built for the little guy. On the first day of the hotel's opening, Xu Tao hoped that Zhao Linan could see it.

The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded lively and exploded for a long time, attracting the attention of many people around.

After the firecrackers were set off, Jin Nanxuan's entrance was also covered with red firecracker confetti, and Jin Nanxuan finally opened its doors on October 1, 1984.

Jin Nanxuan mainly serves lunch and dinner, so after the firecrackers were set off in the morning, it was always deserted.

Qin Yurou stood in front of the cash register in the lobby on the first floor, and kept paying attention to the situation at the door. From nine o'clock to ten o'clock, when no guests came to the door, the whole person panicked.

Xu Tao was also a little surprised. She thought about it, the business was not good, but she never thought about the result of not having a single customer.

But fortunately, the desertedness is only temporary. After ten o'clock in the morning, guests came one after another.

Advertising is not very popular these days, Xu Tao has been advertising in taxis for so long, and the effect is still amazing.

This is indeed the case. Before ten o'clock, there were no guests at all, but from ten thirty to eleven thirty, in just one hour, many guests came.

One after another, guests came to taste the early adopters, invited guests to dinner, and brought their families with them. It didn't take long for the boxes to be full. Soon, except for the banquet hall on the second floor, the banquet seats were vacant. The boxes are full.

Xu Tao had originally planned that the business was not a good one. After all, Jin Nanxuan focused on high-end business, but there were unexpectedly many rich people in Yangcheng, and the business was also very good.

Fortunately, Xu Tao had recruited enough waiters and trained for a long time. On the first day of opening, although it was lively, under Qin Yurou's arrangement, the guests ate in an orderly manner, and there was no major disorder.

Xu Taohe took Zhao Linan to the banquet hall on the second floor, keeping an eye on the situation downstairs, and asked the waiter to ask the guests how satisfied they were with the dishes and services after they finished their meal, and the feedback was very good.

The service quality and dishes are all excellent. Although the consumption is not low, you may come to Jinnanxuan to eat. .

Jin Nanxuan was busy at noon on the first day of opening, and there were fewer customers ordering food, but there were still many customers in the restaurant.

Xu Tao was willing to spend all her money, and in the extremely hot October, the chillers in the Jinnanxuan Hotel kept a large part of the guests. Therefore, after lunch, the drinks and drinks at the hotel's small bar were selling well.

The kitchen was so busy that it was about to take off, and the fire of the cauldron was gradually extinguished at three o'clock.

"I didn't expect business to be pretty good on the first day of business." Jin Yidao spoke while beating his old waist.

It was busy for a few hours for lunch, and there were still many customers turning tables.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Tao brought Zhao Linan to the kitchen to thank the old man.

"Grandpa Jin hard." Zhao Linan was a very attentive child, and he poured water for Old Jin to drink.

"Grandpa Jin drinks water."

"Good." Jin Yidao was so tired that he couldn't stand up, but he was still happy when he drank the water from Zhao Linan.

Xu Tao hurriedly winked at the child, and clenched her fist as a reminder.

Zhao Linan nodded immediately: "Grandpa Jin is tired, Xiao Nan helps you beat his waist."

"Oh, Xiao Nan wants to beat Grandpa's waist?" Jin Lao was overjoyed, talking, but also sat down with cooperation.

Zhao Linan beat the back and waist of the villain, which made Old Jin unbearably happy, and also made him happy.

Xu Tao watched and laughed, and then looked at the other sweaty chefs: "Thank you for your hard work, next month's income is good, I'll give you a raise.

" Do not close your mouth.

"It's serious business to hire more chefs quickly." Jin Yidao reminded Xu Tao.

Being so tired every day, his old bones will fall apart in less than half a month.

"Of course, Mr. Jin, don't worry, I will definitely find some suitable ones for you." In fact, there have been many chefs who have come to the company for interviews, but their cooking skills are good, and there are not many suitable chefs to stay.

Judging from the opening situation in the morning, the chef must be recruited quickly. This is only the first day of opening. After everyone is familiar with Jin Nanxuan, the number of customers will only gradually increase.

And the banquet hall on the second floor is still empty today. If the banquet hall starts to accept reservations, birthday banquets, birthday banquets, banquets, etc., the kitchen is estimated to be too busy to explode.

At least five more chefs have to be recruited. Xu Tao didn't want Mrs. Jin to work too hard, and he was afraid that it would be too hard.

"Well, it's good that you have an idea." Jin Lao nodded tiredly.

After Jin Nanxuan opened, business has been very good. As Jin Nanxuan's business boomed, more chefs came to apply.

Many chefs were in a wait-and-see state before. Now that the restaurant is open, the business is booming, and the recruitment of chefs is not so worrying.

In the following half month of opening, Xu Tao hired five more chefs, which made the busyness of the kitchen much easier.

Jinnanxuan Hotel has gradually become a famous restaurant in Yangcheng because of its excellent dishes, good service attitude and many repeat customers.

For the whole year of 1984, Xu Tao's mind was busy at the Jinnanxuan Hotel. Although she was busy, she did not stop writing novels. She was a Buddhist at the beginning of the year and wrote a book about time travel. In the second half of the year, she tried to write Xianxia, ​​and the manuscript fee was also Get it softly and earn a lot of money.

1984 was a year of major changes in Xu Tao's life, while 1985 was a little duller, except in the middle of the year, the TV drama "Fate Come So Close", in which the first novel was sold for copyright, was broadcast, and the response was very enthusiastic. , that is, the husband and wife discussed the purchase of land and built a small villa.

At the end of the year, I persuaded Zhao's father and mother, who had never traveled far from their hometown, to come to Yangcheng for the New Year. At the beginning of 1986, the family of three moved out of Zhonglin Road and lived in a small villa.

Zhao Linan also went from a baby in the nursery to a glorious primary school student who entered the first grade of primary school.

In 1987, the scale of Taoyuan Taxi expanded, and it also successfully annexed one of the taxi companies in Yangcheng, becoming the largest taxi company.

In the same year, Jin Nanxuan's first branch opened, and the worth of Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo rose.

In 1988, Jin Nanxuan's second branch opened one after another. Xu Tao's pace behind him was very stable, and the business territory was slowly expanding. It was not until 1989 that another branch was opened. Jin Nanxuan Hotel also occupied the restaurant industry in Yangcheng. a place.

Also in 1989, another small company of Yangcheng Taxi was carrying passengers because the driver was drunk, resulting in the death of both the driver and the passenger in a car accident. The incident was very big, and the family members also demanded compensation.

Because of the huge amount of compensation, he could only choose to sell the company in the end. Zhao Weiguo quickly took over. Taoyuan Taxi Company completely monopolized the taxi industry in Yangcheng and became the only taxi company in Yangcheng.

A few years passed in a flash. When Zhao Linan was in the fourth grade of elementary school, the little guy was 10 years old, and the bell of 1990 also rang.

In the past six years, Taoyuan Taxi Company has changed the most, and its scale has long been different. Taoyuan Taxi Company has also expanded from a small company to a large company composed of four small companies.

The number of taxi drivers has also increased from dozens of people at first to more than 600 people now, and the monthly net profit has broken the one million mark after completely monopolizing the taxi industry in Yangcheng in 1989.

Zhao Weiqiang also went from a young man who just came to Yangcheng to a mature man in his late thirties. He has never been married, and he is devoted to his career. Now he is also the manager of one of the branches of Taoyuan Taxi.

In addition to Zhao Weiqiang, the managers of the other three venues are Ye Zhenhua, Liao Tuhang, and Qin Yubin.

In 1990, the ten-year-old Zhao Linan was no longer the chubby little dumpling he used to be. Xu Tao personally raised the dumplings into the handsome and sunny boy who is now 1.5 meters tall.

At seven thirty in the morning, Xu Tao stood outside Zhao Linan's room and started knocking on the door.

Today is the first day of Zhao Linan's fourth grade.

"Xiao Nan, did you wake up?"

"Wake up." Zhao Linan's voice came from the room, and soon the neatly dressed boy opened the door with a schoolbag on one shoulder.

Xu Tao looked at Zhao Linan, stretched out her hand to help him tidy up the collar of his shirt, and then laughed and teased: "It's so handsome, I don't know how many love letters I will receive from my classmates this year!"

"Mom, I don't accept love letters." Zhao Linan's face He showed a little shyness, and then went downstairs.

"Do other girls have to send you love letters?" Xu Tao asked with a smile.

Although Zhao Linan was only ten years old, the ten-year-old kid was already suspected of being an arsonist.

"No." Zhao Linan walked downstairs with a reply. The first thing after going downstairs was to slap Xiao Xiao and Benben on the sofa in the living room a few times.

"The two fat cats are really getting lazy." Zhao Linan complained, scratching Benben's chin, and Benben raised his fat head comfortably with narrowed eyes.

"Zhao Linan, my mother kindly reminded me that it's fifteen minutes before your school starts at eight o'clock." Xu Tao glanced at her watch to remind the boy who was playing with the cat.

Zhao Linan stopped licking the cat immediately, put on his schoolbag and ran to the restaurant, picked up the milk on the table and drank it, then took two meat buns, and went out while eating while changing his shoes.

"Mom, goodbye." Zhao Linan pushed the bicycle, ate the buns with one hand, and galloped with the bicycle in one hand.

"You can ride after eating steamed buns, slow down, and watch out for pedestrians on the road." Xu Tao stood at the door angrily and reminded, watching Zhao Linan waving his hand and riding his bicycle away.

"Stinky boy." Xu Tao scolded in a low voice.

"Don't remind him next time, see how long he can linger on his own." Zhao Weiguo came out of the kitchen to talk to Xu Tao.

"If I don't remind him, he will definitely be late." Xu Tao sat down at the table helplessly.

Of course, Zhao Weiguo also knew about Zhao Linan's stinky problems, and the idea of ​​​​teaching his son has long been around the corner. But that stinky boy has good grades in studies. Even if he is late occasionally, the teacher is reluctant to punish him.

"After dinner, take me to Jin Nanxuan's main store, and I'll go see Mr. Jin." Xu Tao took a vegetable bag to eat.

Zhao Weiguo nodded, preparing to send Xu Tao to Jin Nanxuan before he drove to the Taoyuan Company in the Yue District.

In recent years, Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo have been very busy. With the increase in income, the relationship between the husband and wife is getting better and better.

Xu Tao also slowed down the pace of making money after Jin Nanxuan opened, so she only opened four branches in five or six years. But Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo's worth had already entered the tens of millions in the 1990s.

After breakfast, Zhao Weiguo drove Xu Tao to the Jinnanxuan head office, and went to Taoyuan Company himself.

"Mr. Tao." Qin Yurou is already the manager of Jin Nanxuan's head office. In six years, Qin Yurou has changed from a gentle and careless woman to a mature and capable woman with a strong temperament.

"Is Mr. Jin in the kitchen?" Xu Tao asked her.

She came to the main store mainly to see Mr. Jin. The opening of other branches in recent years is all thanks to Mr. Jin.

If it wasn't for Jin Lao's help in bringing out the original old employees, Lao Ding, Lao Tang, and Su Meili, to become the head chefs of the branch, Xu Tao would not be able to open the branch.

"Yes." Qin Yurou nodded.

"Okay, you can do your job, I'll just go find him myself." Xu Tao and Qin Yurou said, and went to the kitchen to find Mr. Jin.

Mr. Jin was sitting in the kitchen listening to the tape recorder. The tape recorder was given to him by Zhao Linan. Mr. Jin liked it very much. He had to listen to it every day before going to work.

"Elder Jin, how about listening to Cantonese opera early in the morning?" Xu Tao walked into the kitchen and heard Cantonese opera played on the tape recorder.

In the kitchen, Mr. Jin was intoxicated at the moment, other chefs and small helpers were practicing knife craftsmanship, while Wang Juanjuan was carefully making snacks.

Su Meili can handle a big pot and has talent. She has learned from Mr. Jin for six years. Last year, she was finally arranged by Xu Tao to serve as the head chef of the branch.

Because of her strength, Wang Juanjuan is in charge of desserts and fancy carvings. Although she was not able to serve as the head chef, she can stay at the head office. Besides Jin Lao and Qin Yurou, her salary is also the highest. For this, Wang Juanjuan is also very satisfied. , because she likes to make all kinds of dim sum.

"Why are you free today?" Jin Lao opened his eyes and looked at Xu Tao: "By the way, next time you come to help the old man to buy some new Cantonese opera tapes."

"Okay." Xu Tao agreed.

Jin Lao nodded and continued to be obsessed with Cantonese opera.

Over the years, Xu Tao has basically regarded Mr. Jin as a family member. He knew that Mr. Jin was working hard. Originally, Xu Tao was going to share the shares of Mr. Jin, but Mr. Jin did not want it, so Xu Tao had to give it to him in a different way.

"Here." Xu Tao put a bunch of keys in front of Elder Jin.

"What?" Jin Lao opened his eyes and frowned.

Xu Tao smiled: "I bought a house next to you, 150 square meters, and this is the key after the decoration."

"What do you buy a house for, I don't want it." Jin Laoyu spoke with disgust.

"I asked you to live with us, but if you don't want to, then I will have to buy you a suite nearby. Remember to take a look when you have time. If you are not satisfied with the decoration and furniture, tell me, and I will replace it for you." Xu Tao calmly said. Smile, put down the key and leave the kitchen.

In the past six years, Jin Nanxuan Hotel has grown from one store to four chain stores, and the profits of the four stores have exceeded one million each month.

In the head office's office, Xu Tao was calculating the income for this month.

Jin Nanxuan is the head office. With the development of the past few years, the turnover has also been increasing. Every time Xu Tao comes to the company, he will check the accounts.

The hotel is big, and there are several cashiers. The number is checked every day when the shift is handed over. Basically, there is no big problem with the billing.

Although there is no problem with the number, there are also many accounts. Xu Tao was busy in Jin Nanxuan and was busy until the afternoon.

"Madam Boss." The taxi drivers basically knew Xu Tao, Xu Tao got in the car, and the other party said hello.

Xu Tao politely asked about the driver's work status. After getting off the bus, he paid the fare like a normal passenger, and then walked into the Taoyuan company.

"Sister-in-law, you haven't come to the company for a long time." Guo Pingping was sitting outside the kitchen resting, teasing her two-year-old son with a cookie. When she saw Xu Tao coming to the company, she took the initiative to say hello.

Xu Tao looked at Guo Pingping's son, and seemed to see Zhao Linan, who was soft and cute at the time. Time flies so fast. Zhao Linan, who was more than two years old at the time, is now ten years old.

"Xiao Fu grows up really fast." Xu Tao sighed with a smile, reaching out to touch the little boy's head.

The little boy was very daring and a little domineering. Xu Tao touched his head, and the child grimaced at Xu Tao and stuck out his tongue.

"No skin." Guo Pingping warned him, pretending to be fierce.

"It doesn't matter." The little boy jumped up and protested, and he was quite noisy.

"Mom didn't listen, did you?" Guo Pingping made a gesture to hit him.

The little boy directly angrily threw the biscuit in his hand to the ground, looking like he was boundless.

"I can't control him at all now. He's not afraid of anyone, except his father." Guo Pingping explained helplessly, and then pointed to the office: "Your family, Wei Guo, is in the office!"

"Okay, I'll go first. Go find him." Xu Tao smiled and walked to the office.

Guo Pingping took her son's arm, but her eyes were fixed on Xu Tao's back, and she couldn't help sighing.

In the past, Xu Tao was very powerful. Six years later, Xu Tao was still the woman she admired and admired.

However, she has always been jealous of Xu Tao, but she also has a great psychological gap. When the company's cafeteria opened, all the women who worked were promoted except her.

Wu Hui's sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter after her resignation. Ye Zhenhua's salary was stable, so she did not come back to work. Except for Wu Hui, everyone else was doing well.

Zhao Weini went to work in the new company and helped manage the small canteens of the two branches. However, after she returned to work after giving birth to her son, she was still cooking every day as before, and she was still the one being managed.

Guo Pingping sighed, fed the biscuits in her hand to her son Xiao Fu, and then went into the kitchen to wash the vegetables to prepare the company dinner.

In the office, Zhao Weiguo was checking the accounts, and Ye Zhenhua was sitting aside. Zhao Weiguo asked some questions about the company, and he answered a few words.

"Brother and sister are here." Ye Zhenhua politely stood up and said hello when he saw Xu Tao coming.

"Brother Hua." Xu Tao smiled and looked at Zhao Weiguo, who was frowning a little. He was about to ask him what was wrong, when he heard the beeping of the pager in his bag.

Xu Tao took out the pager and glanced at it, and found that it was a call from Zhao Linan's school.

"It's from Xiaonan School." Xu Tao said to Zhao Weiguo in surprise.

Zhao Weiguo's originally frowning frowned became heavier. Xu Tao was puzzled and picked up the landline phone on the desk in the office to call back.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Zhao Linan's mother." After Xu Tao waited for the call to be connected, she immediately reported her home courteously.

"Okay, we'll be right there." Xu Tao agreed with her mouth after listening to what the teacher on the other end of the phone said.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Weiguo asked while grabbing the report.

"Mr. Chen said that Xiao Nan had a fight with his classmates at school, so let's go to school." Xu Tao said in disbelief.

Zhao Linan has been smart since he was a child. Although he is a little naughty, he has never caused any trouble. Today is the first day of his fourth grade, and he even got into a fight.

"Fight?" Zhao Weiguo chewed on the word "fight" with a dangerous look in his eyes. He casually put down Taoyuan Company's accounts: "Let's go, I'll go to school with you."

"Okay." Xu Tao nodded.

"Brother Hua, the accounts for the past few months are not very clear. You take the time to check it first, and I will check it in a few days." Zhao Weiguo also said to Ye Zhenhua casually when he took the car keys.

"...Okay." Ye Zhenhua's face was a little ugly, and then he nodded heavily.

Xu Tao glanced at Ye Zhenhua, carrying her bag and driving to school with Zhao Weiguo.

In the office, Ye Zhenhua grabbed the account data and statements, and saw from the window that Zhao Weiguo and Xu Tao sat down a little dejected after driving away.

Zhao Weiguo was driving, and Xu Tao was sitting in the passenger seat. Although she was worried about Zhao Linan's situation, she still asked what Zhao Weiguo just said.

"Is there something wrong with Brother Hua's accounts?" Xu Tao asked directly.

"Yeah." Zhao Weiguo nodded with a serious expression.

Ye Zhenhua has been managing the company for several years, and there have been no major problems before, but since last year, the monthly profit and data reports have not increased much.

If this was the case with other companies, Zhao Weiguo might not have noticed, but in the case of the other three branches with fewer vehicles than here, the monthly profit only increased.

Even if it did not increase too much, it did not appear to decrease.

In recent years, Yangcheng can be said to be changing with each passing day. This year's Yangcheng is even more amazing. Tape recorders and tapes have become popular all over the streets, and people's living standards are twice as high as six years ago.

Taxi is metered, and the cost per kilometer has also increased. How can the data and income be the same as before? It doesn't make sense.

"I'm afraid things are a little difficult to handle." Xu Tao said lightly.

Ye Zhenhua was Zhao Weiguo's first squad leader in the army. Over the years, Zhao Weiguo also took more care of him. When he let Ye Zhenhua manage the company, his salary also increased by several hundred.

Zhao Weiguo has always trusted Ye Zhenhua, and Xu Tao has the same, but who would have thought that there was a problem with Ye Zhenhua's data report, is it really worth it?

Zhao Weiguo also understood in his heart, he continued to drive with a sigh, and the black Santana drove all the way to Yangcheng Primary School.

"I don't know why Xiao Nan was fighting?" Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo walked to the school teacher's office together.

In the office, Mr. Chen, Zhao Linan's head teacher, was correcting his homework, while Zhao Linan, the two boys who were fighting, and Yan Xi were standing by the wall of the office.

Zhao Linan stood tall and straight with a painted nose, while Yan Xi was sobbing and wiping away her tears.

"Mr. Chen." Xu Tao walked into the office and first glanced at Zhao Linan's situation.

The little guy looked a little miserable and a little embarrassed. After seeing Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo, he raised his hand and pulled the tissue off his nose.

"Zhao Linan's parents are here. Please sit down first. I also informed the parents of the other students. They should be coming soon. We will wait for other parents to come and deal with the fight between the children." Teacher Chen looked up. When they arrived at Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo, they were quite polite.

"Okay." Zhao Weiguo responded.

"Did you get a nosebleed?" Xu Tao looked at Zhao Linan's nose.

"Yeah." Zhao Linan nodded. The ten-year-old boy was a little stubborn, but he didn't cry.

"Auntie." When Yan Xi saw Xu Tao, she choked and called out.

Yan Xi and Zhao Linan are companions in the nursery school, and they are also classmates in the same school and the same class after primary school.

"Xiaoxi, don't cry first, what happened? Can you talk to auntie slowly?" Xu Tao comforted Yanxi.

Yan Xi is one year older than Zhao Linan. Except for being squeamish and crying, the little girl has no major problems and has a good personality.

"They cut my hair secretly, and Xiao Nan saw it and asked them to apologize to me. They refused, spit at us, and scolded us, saying that Xiao Nan and I were... dog men and women, and Xiao Nan was angry, so he fought them. Get up, woo woo..." Yan Xi cried, but also made things clear.

"Auntie, look at my hair." Yan Xi turned around and showed the ponytail on the back of her head.

Xu Tao clearly saw that Yan Xi's ponytail was cut in a mess.

"Isn't it so ugly, woo woo..." Yan Xi turned around and cried a little sadly.

"It's okay, it's not ugly. I'll go to the barber shop tomorrow to fix it." Xu Tao comforted Yan Xi, and his eyes swept across the two boys. The two boys looked very skinny at first glance. Parents dote on the grown-up master.

When Xu Tao looked at the two boys, the two boys were still condescending. They were not afraid of Xu Tao at all, and they also showed a provocative look at Xu Tao.

Yes, Xu Tao received the provocative eyes of two ten-year-old boys, and she was really a fearless bear.

"Does it hurt?" Xu Tao looked back at Zhao Linan and asked.

Zhao Linan, who is pure and pure, has a tint on his face at this moment, and there is a blood stain on his nose.

"It doesn't hurt." Zhao Linan shook his head bravely.

Xu Tao sighed, took out a tissue from her handbag and handed it to Zhao Linan: "I'm wiping my nose."

Zhao Linan took the tissue with a hum and wiped his nose indiscriminately.

Knowing the story of the fight from Yan Xi's mouth, Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo patiently sat on the stool in the teacher's office and waited for the other parents.

Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo came early, from four to five o'clock in the evening, the other's parents still didn't come.

"Liu Haojie, stand up for me, what does it look like?" Teacher Chen corrected some students' summer homework, glanced at the children standing by the wall, and found Liu Haojie leaning against the wall, he immediately stern Open your mouth.

The boy named Liu Haojie stood up lazily: "Teacher, I said, my parents are very busy, they won't come. I'm so tired standing, or let us go home first today, I Tell my parents to come back tomorrow."

"Shut up." Teacher Chen frowned and looked at the boy next to him.

"My parents won't come either." The other boy was not that jerk, but his tone was bold.

Teacher Chen was obviously outraged: "The current parents are really, not responsible at all."

After speaking, Teacher Chen looked at Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo: "I'm sorry, I notified their parents, but depending on the situation, they should be I don't even come, I'm really sorry for delaying you for so long."

Teacher Chen explained apologetically, fearing that Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo would be unhappy.

The two parents came to the school to learn about what happened. After knowing that Zhao Linan did nothing wrong, they cooperated and waited for an hour.

Originally, the main responsibility for this fight was not on Zhao Linan. Classmate Zhao Linan has always been a good student with good grades and good manners.

Today's fight, she originally wanted to call all the parents to solve it together, but Liu Haojie and Wei Zhenyu's parents didn't come to the school. She was a teacher, but she didn't know how to deal with it.

"It's okay." Xu Tao shook her head.

She paid attention to Zhao Linan just now. Although she was beaten with nosebleeds, everything else was fine. One fight and two, Zhao Linan must have suffered a loss. After all, she was only a ten-year-old child.

Xu Tao felt sorry for Zhao Linan, but in the face of two boys who were obviously not valued by their parents and who were not disciplined, Xu Tao felt that it was useless to get angry.

"Then let's take Xiao Nan back today." It was getting late outside.

"Okay." Teacher Chen nodded: "Don't worry, parents of Zhao Linan, this fight is very bad. I will react with the parents of Liu Haojie and Wei Zhenyu and deal with it seriously."

"Okay, it's hard work, teacher." Xu Tao spoke politely, and turned around to ask Yan Xi: "Do you want Xiaoxi to go home? Auntie will send you."

Chapter 092 Contentment
Yan Xi looked at Teacher Chen next to him: "Teacher, can I go home?"

"Mr. Chen, I know Yan Xi's mother and know where she lives, so I just took her home by the way." Xu Tao and Chen Say.

"Okay, then classmate Yan Xi, let's go back first." Teacher Chen nodded.

Yan Xi then obediently carried her schoolbag and went home with Xu Tao.

"Teacher, we also want to go home. Look, it's getting dark, and I'm so hungry!" Liu Haojie raised his hand to cover his stomach and spoke very boldly.

"Stand up for me." Teacher Chen pointed at Liu Haojie and gave a stern warning.

When Xu Tao heard Liu Haojie speak, before going out, she couldn't help but look at Wei Zhenyu next to her.

It is rare for a ten-year-old child to have such a gloomy mood.

Thinking about it, Xu Tao took Yan Xi out of the office in a complicated mood.

Eleven-year-old Yan Xi was very beautiful, and the girl walked beside Xu Tao in a slim manner.

Lu Jinfan had received the teacher's notice long ago, but it was still late. When Xu Tao and the others almost reached the school gate, Lu Jinfan was late.

"Mom." Yan Xi took a few steps and ran to Lu Jinfan's side.

"Sorry, mom is late, teacher isn't angry!" Lu Jinfan asked Yan Xi.

"No." Yan Xi shook his head.

Lu Jinfan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Xu Tao about the incident. After learning that her daughter was bullied, she looked at Yan Xi's ponytail again.

"It's too much, how can you cut a girl's hair." Lu Jinfan frowned.

Xu Tao and Lu Jinfan didn't have a close relationship at first, but the relationship was good. In addition, Zhao Linan and Yan Xi went to the same primary school. Because of work, Lu Jinfan often invited clients to Jin Nanxuan for dinner, so they gradually became familiar with each other. .

Lu Jinfan was from Hong Kong City. To be honest, Xu Tao was surprised because Lu Jinfan didn't have the accent of Hong Kong City at all. And she was actually a single mother. She never asked about Yan Xi's father, nor did Xu Tao ask.

All I know is that Lu Jinfan is in the cosmetics business by himself, and the business is quite big.

You must know that when Xu Tao took Zhao Linan to the nursery on a bicycle, Lu Jinfan had already driven the silver Santana, which shows that Lu Jinfan is really not simple.

Women, raising children independently, and opening a cosmetics company, even Xu Tao is ashamed of her bold and avant-garde behavior.

"Take Yanxi to the barbershop for a repair tomorrow. Her hair is long, so it's fine to cut it a little." Xu Tao said.

"Yes, the hair will be repaired, baby Xiaoxi won't be sad, will you?" Lu Jinfan touched Yanxi's head.

"Okay." Yan Xi nodded.

Seeing that his daughter was really not sad, Lu Jinfan took Yan Xi's hand and walked out. At the same time, he thanked Zhao Linan: "Auntie thanks Xiaonan for Yan Xi."

"No thanks." Zhao Linan replied.

Lu Jinfan's eyes were full of smiles, and then he looked at Xu Tao: "Reserve the Jinnanxuan Banquet Hall on the 9th next month for me. My company is going to have an annual meeting for the eighth anniversary of its opening."

"Okay." Xu Tao basically knew the reservation of the Jin Nanxuan banquet hall: "I'll have someone reserve the Nanshan Hall for you."

"Okay, but you have to give me a discount!" Lu Jinfan nodded and joked with Xu Tao.

"Of course." Xu Tao answered.

Lu Jinfan is also a VIP customer of Jin Nanxuan. Not to mention the familiar friendship between the two, Xu Tao will give her a discount just for Lu Jinfan's support of Jin Nanxuan in recent years.

"Then it's settled, my company still has a lot of things waiting for me to deal with, see you later." Lu Jinfan took Yan Xi out of the school gate and left in a hurry.

"Okay, see you later." Xu Tao watched Lu Jinfan's mother and son get into the car, and then walked to her car.

In the back seat of the car, Xu Tao looked at the quiet Zhao Linan: "Zhao Linan, you lost the fight, how do you feel?"

Still not escaping the fate of being questioned and teased, Zhao Linan sighed.

"They are two people." Zhao Linan said calmly: "I won't win if I win, I'm not convinced."

"I'm not convinced, how important is winning or losing?" Xu Tao raised her eyebrows.

"..." Zhao Linan suddenly felt a little guilty, it's a matter of man's face, it's important!

"Xiao Nan, my mother is very curious. There are many ways to deal with things. Why does it turn into a fight?"

"It was them who moved first." The boy explained immediately.

"Before they started beating people, you must have had some disputes. You said some provocative or excessive things, right?"

Zhao Linan was speechless. What he said at the time was really excessive, and Wei Zhenyu was like an injured child. Like a beast, he was instantly furious.

"Well." Zhao Linan felt a little guilty.

"Xiao Nan, if someone hits you, it's right for you to fight back." Xu Tao doesn't like to use force to solve problems, but she doesn't want Zhao Linan to not know how to fight back: "But mom is still a little disappointed, do you know why?"

"Yes." Zhao Linan's tone was a little frustrated.

"Today, I could have solved the problem without fighting, right?"

"Yes." Zhao Linan responded a little dull.

"You clearly know that the other party is two people, but you can't fight alone, but you still speak out, not only angering your classmates, but also being beaten, isn't it stupid?" Xu Tao said patiently to Zhao Linan.

"Well, it's quite stupid."

It's good to know that it's stupid. Today's fight is not in vain. I hope this bear boy can remember the lesson.

"Xiao Nan, my mother hopes you can remember that a good word is warm in three winters, and a bad word hurts people in June. In theory, the responsibility lies with them, because they bully Yan Xi first, and then beat others first. But mother I think that Xiao Nan is also at fault, and the mistake is what he said."

"I see."

"This is the first time you have fought. For the sake of saving the beauty as a hero, my mother will spare you. But Xiao Nan, if you If you said something that hurt your classmates, mom hopes you can take the initiative to apologize." Xu Tao reached out and rubbed the boy's short hair.

"Well, I will apologize for what I said today." Zhao Linan nodded.

Xu Tao smiled when she saw that Zhao Linan's eyes were no longer resentful.

"Of course an apology is an apology. If you have a quarrel with your classmate in the future, and the other party is angry, you can't just stand and be beaten. Do you still have to fight back?" Xu Tao was also a little worried. Zhao Linan misunderstood what she meant by asking him to apologize. Don't know how to fight back.

The boy who is only ten years old may not understand the meaning of her words, but he can realize that what he said is wrong, and that is enough.

"Mom, I'm not stupid, how could I stand and be beaten." Zhao Linan's tone was relaxed: "I know my mother wanted to tell me that if I didn't say too much today, then maybe they wouldn't fight me. , let me be careful when I speak in the future."

"It's good to know." Xu Tao smiled softly, reached out to touch the child's head, and then pinched the child's cheek with her palm, her painting style suddenly changed: "Next time you dare to cause trouble, let me Worry and fear, I will let your father beat you to death."

"Mom, it hurts! I don't dare to cause trouble." Zhao Linan raised his hand and touched his face in surrender.

Driving home from school is not far, just over ten minutes.

"What's for dinner?" Xu Tao stepped into the house and asked Zhao Weiguo.

"I want to drink crucian carp soup." Zhao Linan followed behind to order.

"What about you?" Xu Tao asked Zhao Weiguo.

"You can cook whatever there is in the refrigerator." Zhao Weiguo prepared breakfast for him. He remembered that there were only some vegetables and eggs in the refrigerator.

"Yeah, that's right." Xu Tao nodded, changed her home shoes and went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator.

No fish in the fridge, just some frozen shrimp, veggies and eggs, it's fine for a dinner.

"Xiao Nan, there are no more fish at home." Xu Tao and Zhao Linan said.

Zhao Linan came over with Benben in his arms: "I want to drink fish soup." The tone was pitiful.

"If you really want to drink fish soup, you can go to the market to buy a fish by bicycle. It's still early anyway." At five o'clock in summer, the sky is still bright, and the market is not far away, so it only takes ten minutes to ride a bicycle.

"Okay, I'll go buy it." Zhao Linan nodded. The ten-year-old boy was very energetic, and he was not affected by the fight. He nodded and put down the fat cat in his arms, and turned around to change his shoes and ride his bike out.

After five o'clock, after get off work in the evening, Zhao Linan hurried to the vegetable market on his bicycle, parked the car and walked into the vegetable market.

"Boss, help me catch a crucian carp." Zhao Linan said standing in front of the fish stall.

"Okay, I'll give you a fresh fish." The old man who was watching the fish stall immediately stood up and took out the small fishing net.

"Grandpa, I'm back." Wei Zhenyu ran to the booth panting with his schoolbag on his back, panting and talking with his hands on his knees.

"Xiaoyu is back, how was the first day of school?" The old man who sold fish asked Wei Zhenyu with a smile.

"It's good." After slowing down, Wei Zhenyu stood up and saw Zhao Linan, his face was a little ugly: "What are you doing?"

"I'm here to buy fish." Zhao Linan replied lightly.

Wei Zhenyu's ugly face was better now. He casually put his schoolbag on the stool next to the fish stall, and reached out to take the small fishing net: "Grandpa, let me come."

"No." The old grandpa avoided Wei Zhenyu's Holding hands, he looked at Zhao Linan with a smile: "Are you Xiaoyu's classmate?"

"Yes."

The old grandfather immediately smiled happily, stretched out his hand and used a small fishing net to skillfully fish out a large crucian carp: "Is this okay?"

"Yes." Zhao Linan nodded.

The old man grabbed the fish and passed the string through the mouth of the fish, ready to put it on the chopping board.

"Grandpa, you haven't weighed yet!" Wei Zhenyu reminded him from the side.

"Needless to say, the first time I met Xiaoyu's classmate, grandpa was happy and gave this fish to your classmates to eat. Boy, wait a moment, grandpa will help you scrape the fish scales clean." The old grandpa said with a smile, and The fish was crushed on the chopping board and disemboweled.

Why give it to Zhao Linan to eat, but not.

"Grandpa." Wei Zhenyu frowned in disapproval.

"No, the money has to be given." Zhao Linan rejected the old man's kindness.

The old man just laughed, killed and cleaned the fish neatly, and then packed the fish and handed it to Zhao Linan.

"Give you the money." Zhao Linan took the fish and handed him five yuan.

"No money." The old man still said he would not accept it.

Wei Zhenyu, however, reached out and grabbed the five dollars, threw it into the cash box next to him, and rummaged for two dollars.

"I'm sorry for misunderstanding you." Zhao Linan didn't accept the money, but just took Yu and Wei Zhenyu to apologize.

The person who cut Yanxi's hair was Liu Haojie, but Liu Haojie had to frame Wei Zhenyu. Wei Zhenyu didn't explain or apologize. He thought that Wei Zhenyu was bullying the girl, and he dared not to take responsibility, so he mocked a few words. .

Wei Zhenyu was angry and beat people, and Liu Haojie immediately joined in the fun to help, and the three of them started fighting. Liu Haojie was kicked a few times by Zhao Linan, and when he saw Zhao Linan's nosebleed, he proudly admitted that the person who cut Yanxi's hair was actually It's him.

Zhao Linan also realized that he had misunderstood Wei Zhenyu.

In the face of Zhao Linan's apology, Wei Zhenyu stopped the action of handing over the money, looking at Zhao Linan's eyes full of irony, he wanted to say something, but he seemed to be concerned about the grandfather next to him and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Wei Zhenyu didn't speak, Zhao Linan didn't reach for the change, but turned around and walked away with the fish.

Wei Zhenyu grabbed the two yuan in his hand, looked at Zhao Linan's back, and chased after him.

"I only take fish money, I'll give it back to you." Wei Zhenyu chased after Zhao Linan as he pushed his bicycle, and left the two yuan in change and left.

Zhao Linan looked at Wei Zhenyu's back, pursed his lips and rode home.

When Zhao Linan returned home, he handed the fish to Xu Tao and went upstairs until dinner.

At the dinner table, Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo both saw that Zhao Linan was in a bad mood after going out to buy a fish, but they didn't ask much. After dinner, Zhao Weiguo stopped him when they saw that Zhao Linan was about to sneak upstairs again.

"What?" Zhao Linan looked at Zhao Weiguo suspiciously.

"You wash the dishes." Zhao Weiguo said.

Zhao Linan blinked: "I did the washing in the two months of summer vacation. This month, it's Dad's turn to wash."

After Zhao Linan was eight years old, the bowls at home became their father and son, each responsible for a month.

During the summer vacation, in order to save money to buy a tape recorder for Jin Lao, Zhao Linan applied to wash dishes for Zhao Weiguo and asked Zhao Weiguo to pay him 50 yuan a month.

Xu Tao usually gave Zhao Linan a lot of pocket money. Knowing that he wanted to buy a tape recorder for Lao Jin, he agreed to his request to wash the dishes.

"You fought at school today and made your mother worry, so I punished you for washing the dishes for a month. Do you have any opinion?" Zhao Weiguo looked at Zhao Linan.

"Didn't you say no punishment?" Zhao Linan retorted weakly.

"I didn't say no punishment." Zhao Weiguo looked serious.

Zhao Linan was instantly discouraged: "...Okay." The boy standing on the stairs chose to go downstairs bitterly. After Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo finished eating, they went to wash the dishes.

In the living room, Xu Tao was sitting on the sofa watching the TV series Fengshen Bang. Xu Tao had not seen this version of Fengshen Bang and thought it was quite interesting.

Zhao Weiguo also sat next to Xu Tao and watched it. At this moment, the TV broadcast happened to be the plot of Daji taking a bath. Tsk, this scale is a bit exciting.

Xu Tao couldn't help but look sideways at Zhao Weiguo, the man's expression was the same as always.

"Does it look good?" Xu Tao asked.

Facing Xu Tao's question, Zhao Weiguo raised his eyebrows: "Are you asking about the appearance or the plot?"

"Ask both."

Zhao Weiguo nodded: "It's all ok."

Haha! man! ! !

"Just okay?" Xu Tao's tone improved a little, slightly sour.

"It's normal to look at it seriously. The person who plays Daji is not as beautiful as you." Zhao Weiguo felt a dangerous atmosphere.

"It's too late." Xu Tao pouted, not believing the man's nonsense.

Zhao Weiguo couldn't help laughing, until Zhao Linan washed the dishes and came out. The boy glanced at the TV series and looked away in disinterest: "I washed the dishes and went upstairs to rest."

"Well." Zhao Weiguo nodded.

Ding dong ding dong -

just as Zhao Linan turned around and took a few steps, and was about to approach the stairs, the doorbell rang.

Zhao Linan stopped and turned around to look at his parents on the sofa in the living room. The boy consciously went to open the door.

"Who will this point be?" Xu Tao asked softly.

Zhao Weiguo shook his head and looked at the door.

"Uncle Ye." Zhao Linan opened the door and saw Ye Zhenhua who was holding a pile of documents and reports at the door.

Xu Tao raised her eyebrows in surprise, but Zhao Weiguo frowned when Zhao Linan called Uncle Ye, and the husband and wife looked at each other tacitly.

"Why is Brother Hua here? Please take a seat." Xu Tao turned off the TV and greeted Ye Zhenhua with a smile.

"Wei Guo, brother and sister, I'm here to tell you something." Ye Zhenhua walked in, and when he saw Zhao Weiguo and Xu Tao in the living room, he said with an unnatural expression.

Zhao Weiguo nodded understandingly: "Xiao Nan, go back to your room."

Zhao Weiguo told Ye Zhenhua at the company at noon that the accounts were wrong, and he just wanted to give Ye Zhenhua time. He confessed himself, but Zhao Weiguo didn't expect Ye Zhenhua to come over at night.

"Okay." Zhao Linan obediently went upstairs and returned to the room.

Xu Tao went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water for Ye Zhenhua. When they came out, Zhao Weiguo and Ye Zhenhua were both sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Brother Hua, drink water." Xu Tao passed the water cup with both hands.

"Thank you." Ye Zhenhua hurriedly took it with both hands, then stared at the cup silently.

Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo's eyes met again, and they all knew that Ye Zhenhua was probably going to confess his behavior, and he was making mental preparations right now!

"Wei Guo, about the accounts and statements, I..." Ye Zhenhua took a deep breath and spoke in a very guilty tone.

"I did some tricks." Ye Zhenhua closed his eyes and chose to tell the truth: "Since the end of last year, I have made false accounts every month, and successively took hundreds of dollars every month.

" I know." Zhao Weiguo nodded.

Because the data is not big, only a few hundred dollars, Zhao Weiguo basically only checks the total number every month. Ye Zhenhua only needs to change the daily data a little bit. The number is small and within a reasonable range, so Zhao Weiguo did not find it.

If it weren't for the fact that the profit in the two months was lower, Zhao Weiqiang managed one more car than here, and the monthly profit and profit were much higher, but the fuel consumption of the vehicle was less than this. After a comparison, Zhao Weiguo only felt Doubt.

Before that, he had always trusted Ye Zhenhua, and he had never doubted at all.

Ye Zhenhua raised his head and looked at Zhao Weiguo, his eyes flickered with guilt: "Wei Guo, I'm sorry for your trust."

"Brother Hua, the salary we pay you is not low, why do you still make false accounts, is it because of lack of money?" Xu Tao asked.

For a few years, prices have been increasing, everything has been increasing, and their salaries have also increased. Ye Zhenhua earns nearly 1,000 yuan a month in salary, and this is not even counting the commission he occasionally drives. He is now Driving less, after a month, the commission is also one or two hundred.

With a salary of more than 1,000 yuan, in the 1990s, when everyone's monthly salary was generally 100 or 200 yuan, he was still not satisfied with more than 1,000 yuan a month? Appetite is much more greedy to do so.

Ye Zhenhua didn't dare to look up when asked by Xu Tao, and tried to find an excuse to persuade: "The five children in the family are studying, and the annual cost is a lot, and your sister-in-law has no income. The whole family relies on my salary to support eight mouths, and they have to send them during the holidays. I need some money to help my brothers in my hometown, my salary is not enough."

This answer was far-fetched, and Xu Tao didn't believe it at all.

Zhao Weiguo also frowned: "Brother Hua, your child's tuition is not expensive. Even if Xiaoqin and Xiaoqi are in secondary school, your salary will not be enough."

Xu Tao spends a lot of money and never saves them. Even if Ye Zhenhua had five children in school, Zhao Weiguo couldn't believe that his salary would not be enough.

Ye Xiaoqin and the other girls don't know how to spend a lot of money. Ye Zhenhua himself has suffered hardships. When Wu Hui's monthly salary was 400 to 500 yuan, he was very frugal, and he was not even willing to buy a piece of toffee for his children.

How could it be possible now that Ye Zhenhua was forced to make false accounts without even a thousand wages.

"Brother Hua, are you going to gamble?" Zhao Weiguo asked again.

Ye Zhenhua kept his head down and shook his head: "No."

"What's going on? You make it clear." Zhao Weiguo took a serious attitude and thought of some things, his expression became very ugly.

"Huang, gambling, poison, what kind of thing do you have?" Xu Tao is a woman, she knows very well that wealth is exciting, but other factors can also change people. This world can be changed by an honest man, basically That's all three.

"No." Ye Zhenhua kept rubbing his hands together before speaking, "I just want to have a son. The year before last, my dad grabbed my hand before he died and told me to have a son and not let Ye After the family broke up. I always remember how he didn't want to close his eyes. There's no way. Your sister-in-law is unsatisfactory. She gave birth to five daughters. After giving birth to the fifth child, she stopped moving. "

"My dad is gone, and there is only one old lady left in the family, so I will take it to Yangcheng to retire. Who knows, Wu Hui and my mother are arguing with Maimang every day, and the surrounding neighbors are watching jokes. I I go home from work every day, either to persuade or to be a peacemaker. After two days of peace, the old lady was still whispering in my ear, saying that I was sorry for the ancestors of the Ye family, and the Ye family was ruined.

" I was really desperate, so I wanted to find a woman outside to give birth to a son. I agreed with her that she would give birth to a son for me, I gave her five thousand yuan, and she would take the money and go back to her hometown to get married. "

Ha ha! Xu Tao sneered, a man becomes bad when he has money, it is an eternal truth, Ye Zhenhua is honest and honest, but he can't change the idea of ​​patriarchal in his bones.

In order to give birth to a son, crooked ways have come.

"I'm curious, does your Ye family have a throne to inherit?" Xu Tao asked sarcastically.

I really want to have a son and want to go crazy. I already have five daughters and I am not satisfied. I have a good life. However, a person in his 40s can actually do such a thing. To have a son is worthy of the ancestors. , what bastard logic remarks.

Chapter 093 Arrangements
"What kind of succession to the throne?" Xu Tao's mocking words were a bit trendy, which made Ye Zhenhua stunned.

Xu Tao has a good personality, and is gentle and gentle in dealing with people and speaking. Everyone who knows Xu Tao feels that Xu Tao is easy-going.

Ye Zhenhua said so much because he wanted Zhao Weiguo to understand his helplessness. They were all men. Men could understand his difficulties better, but he didn't want to be mocked by Xu Tao and said that he was inheriting the throne. Naturally, Ye Zhenhua did not. understand.

"Your family has neither the throne to inherit, nor hundreds of millions of family properties waiting to be squandered. You are a person with a deposit balance and no password. What ancestors are you talking about here?"

"..." Ye Zhenhua's expression was a little cracked.

"Wu Hui is also unlucky. She probably dug your Ye family's ancestral grave in her previous life, so she married you and gave you five children in this life. In exchange for your unsatisfactory belly, are you still a person? Everyone said it. Don't say something like that!" Xu Tao looked at Ye Zhenhua and couldn't hold back her temper.

Xu Tao is really hot. Ye Zhenhua, as a man and a husband, has been taking care of his daughters for more than ten years. Wu Hui said that he is a military sister-in-law. Life is more aggrieved than widowhood, and it is not as clean as a man's death. , at least no hope.

People marry you, a good day has not passed, and Ye Zhenhua has some spare money, so he makes this drama, saying that he wants a son, but he may not really have other thoughts.

"It's always decided by men to have a boy or a girl. It's not up to you. It's you who can't give birth to a son. It's nothing to do with your sister-in-law. Also, if you take all the responsibility and say you want to have a son, or your mind wanders. , I, Xu Tao, also respect you as a man, at least frank enough. Men! When I have money, I want to change to a young and beautiful wife."

"..." Zhao Weiguo felt that he was also mocked by Xu Taolian sitting together, but he did not at all. The idea of ​​​​for a young and beautiful wife.

"But please don't talk about ancestors and ancestors, and use the stupid remarks as a cover for yourself, as a fig leaf to show your helplessness. Why, my sister-in-law gave you five daughters, and I'm sorry for you? Is it a girl? Isn't it your child? I really didn't expect that you are such a dignified man, that you want to set up a chastity archway when you become a woman's cousin, and you are not too embarrassed to panic."

Xu Tao was really rude, and said a few words , Ye Zhenhua was dumbfounded.

Sure enough, a woman who usually looks good-natured, once she gets angry, she really can't stop it.

Zhao Weiguo sat quietly beside him, even though he knew that the situation was wrong, he still wanted to laugh. Of course, he also agreed with what Xu Tao said. Ye Zhenhua was really wrong about this matter.

"Brother Hua, the country now advocates equality between men and women, you shouldn't make such a low-level ideological mistake." Zhao Weiguo also spoke.

Ye Zhenhua was panting in embarrassment, and was scolded by Xu Tao to lose face. Hearing Zhao Weiguo's approval, he gritted his teeth and replied stubbornly: "If there is no son, no one will fall into the basin after death. Qingming tomb sweeping, ghost festival, even There is no one who burns paper money ."

"You are dead, do you still care if anyone throws the pot or burns paper money?" Xu Tao said that she was laughed at.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Zhao Weiguo's presence, Xu Tao would have restrained herself a little, and she would have started swearing greetings at this moment.

The most unbearable thing for her is that men make excuses for their mistakes, which is really low-level.

Ye Zhenhua lowered his head and replied in a dejected manner: "You have a son, so naturally you don't have backache while standing and talking."

Why didn't he find out before that he was still such an insufferable person, Xu Tao rolled his eyes in amazement.

"Our husband and wife don't care about your personal affairs. Xu Tao is injustice for her sister-in-law, and she doesn't speak well, so you don't have to worry about it." Zhao Weiguo didn't plan to persuade Ye Zhenhua after seeing Ye Zhenhua's attitude. down a nice staircase.

"Yeah." Ye Zhenhua nodded.

Xu Tao gritted her teeth and looked at Zhao Weiguo with warning eyes. To be honest, she didn't want to go down these beautiful steps.

"Let's get down to business. You made a fake account and took money from the company. I won't hold you accountable. However, you have to return the money and leave the Taoyuan company to find another job." Zhao Weiguo changed the topic from Ye Zhenhua's mistake. The reason, pulled back to the problem of work.

As for whether Ye Zhenhua did something wrong to his wife and daughter for the sake of giving birth to a son, Zhao Weiguo said that he didn't want to care. Everyone was an adult. Ye Zhenhua was a man in his forties. He should know what he did.

"Wei Guo..." Ye Zhenhua panicked.

He took the initiative to confess, because he knew that the matter could not be concealed. He thought it was all men. Zhao Wei would understand his difficulties.

But why Zhao Weiguo didn't even let him continue to work.

"I will definitely pay back the money I took. Give me some time. I will definitely not do anything in the future. Can you spare me once." If he loses this job, he really doesn't know what to do. manage.

He's not too young, he can't bear the hard work, and he doesn't have a degree in light work, so it's not his turn.

Ye Zhenhua didn't suddenly understand until this moment that the job of managing taxis, with a salary of more than 1,000 yuan a month, was a job that he couldn't find even with a lantern outside. not come out.

"There are a bunch of children in the family to support, and they all live on my salary. If I don't have a job, I, I..." Ye Zhenhua's hands and feet began to tremble, and his simple and honest face was full of regret.

"Brother Hua, you were once a soldier. You should know that mistakes in principle cannot be made." Zhao Weiguo's words were sharp.

He trusted Ye Zhenhua very much and took good care of him over the years. Ye Zhenhua was really short of money and could borrow it. The reason why he chose to play tricks on the accounts is because he actually knew in his heart that things were not honorable, and he couldn't open his mouth.

"I don't want to hold you accountable because of your former comrade-in-arms. Don't force yourself to work." Zhao Weiguo's meaning is obvious, it is impossible for Ye Zhenhua to continue working in Taoyuan Company.

"Wei Guo, I beg you, I don't care, let me drive a taxi?" Ye Zhenhua pleaded in a language.

Zhao Weiguo shook his head, looking at Ye Zhenhua's heart, but he was not ready to let Ye Zhenhua continue to stay in Taoyuan Company.

"I, I have worked hard for the past few years. The amount I took is not large. I will return it tomorrow. You can't be so rude. Wei Guo, you, you see that I am your old monitor. For the sake of forgiveness, is it okay to spare my brother once?" Ye Zhenhua still knew why Zhao Weiguo had been taking more care of him.

Moreover, he has kept accounts for five or six years. He can also count how much money the company makes every month. When he started this taxi company, the loan of 300,000 yuan was astonishing, but the 300,000 yuan was already earned back.

Zhao Weiguo and his wife opened a taxi company and several restaurants of that size. They couldn't tell how much they were worth. Ye Zhenhua couldn't accept that they wanted to fire him by taking several hundred yuan a month from him.

"There is no credit or hard work. Yes, you have worked hard all these years, but don't we pay you wages? Do you know how much a month's wages are for workers outside now? You earn five or even six times more than them. income, and hard work?" Xu Tao sneered sharply.

What Zhao Weiguo can't say, she can say.

"If it wasn't for Zhao Weiguo's trust in you and let you be in charge of the management. For the wages we give you every month, we would go out to recruit a college student, a professional accountant, and I'm afraid they would all be robbed. If it wasn't for the love of comrades-in-arms, It's not you Ye Zhenhua who made the fake account today, if someone else dared to make a fake account, I would dare to invite him to go to jail, believe it or not!" Xu Tao's attitude was also very direct.

Ye Zhenhua was afraid that all these years had been taken for granted, so he dared to say Zhao Weiguo's unkind words.

Ye Zhenhua was speechless again by Xu Tao, and stood there with a pale face, as if doubting life.

"I just want a son." Ye Zhenhua said in a trance.

"Ha!" Xu Tao sneered.

Come to Dao Tianlei, split this head! She wanted to see what kind of structure the brains of people who prefer sons and daughters have.

"She is about to give birth. I originally planned to wait for her to give birth to a son. I would take the child home and raise him. If I send people away, if I don't give money, she will definitely make trouble. Your sister-in-law takes the family's passbook as the lifeblood. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get it out for a while, can you give me some time for the company's money?" Ye Zhenhua also knew that the job should be irreversible.

Xu Tao was a little curious about Ye Zhenhua's brain circuits. These people's brains were so razor-sharp that they were so obsessed with sons and daughters that they didn't even have normal thinking.

And listening to what he meant, it should be that he wanted to deceive Wu Hui and did not intend to tell Wu Hui the truth. Wu Hui also didn't know that it was because of several lifetimes of blood mold that she was able to put on such a man.

"Are you going to hide your sister-in-law?" Zhao Weiguo also frowned.

"Tell her, can there still be An birthday at home?" Ye Zhenhua smiled bitterly.

He concealed it so much because he didn't want Wu Hui to know that there was enough trouble at home.

Zhao Weiguo looked at Ye Zhenhua silently for a long time, and was surprised to find that some did not know this person.

"It's getting late today, go back! Return the money within three days." Zhao Weiguo walked to the door and opened the door of the house, and ordered Ye Zhenhua to evict the guests.

Ye Zhenhua walked out in a daze, and turned his head to say something: "Weiguo..."

Zhao Weiguo's eyes were very indifferent, Ye Zhenhua couldn't say what he wanted to say, and the villa door behind him was closed, he stood there and thought about it. For a long time, I didn't understand how things could become like this.

Xu Tao watched Zhao Weiguo close the door and sighed.

"Here, drink water to be calm and calm, we can't make ourselves angry because of stupid humans." Xu Tao poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhao Weiguo, while comforting herself.

Zhao Weiguo took a sip from the water glass, sat on the sofa, and looked at the pile of statements and account data on the coffee table, his heart was very complicated.

"What do you think he thinks? After a good life, he is obsessed with the gender of the child. Are five daughters no match for a son?" Xu Tao said that he couldn't understand.

In the past, she watched the news and saw many feudal places where sons were preferred over women, and many people tried various ways to give birth to sons. There are also people like Ye Zhenhua, who clearly have a daughter, but still prefer sons to daughters.

If they can't have a baby themselves, they go to great lengths to give birth to a child, and some spend money to buy a son. It seems that for them, the more important thing is gender, and whether there is a blood bond is not that important.

No matter how filial, wise, sensible, and well-behaved her own daughter is, she is still no match for the boy's weight.

Zhao Weiguo pursed his lips: "In his opinion, it should be invincible." As long as he

thought about his daughter a little more, he would not do such an incredible thing.

Xu Tao saw that Zhao Weiguo was in a low mood, and knew that he should be very disappointed. Ye Zhenhua was a brother and a friend to Zhao Weiguo.

The leader who has been in the military for ten years, after today, the relationship may be over.

"I think there's a lot of trouble with him, and maybe his wife and son will be separated."

Wu Hui is obviously a sad and forbearing woman in this era. What will happen when she finds out what Ye Zhenhua has done?

Xu Tao thinks from her own point of view, she is definitely going to divorce and take her daughter to live a smart life. A man like Ye Zhenhua doesn't want to give her away, but this is her idea.

She felt that her thinking was different from that of most women in this era, and sometimes her judgment would be wrong. For example, she had always felt that Ye Zhenhua was not so patriarchal, and Wu Hui seemed to think more persistently. To have a son.

But now Xu Tao understands that if Ye Zhenhua wasn't obsessed with boys, why would Wu Hui have to give birth one by one.

To give birth to a child is not a hen laying an egg, to conceive a child in October, and to experience the highest pain and torture of human beings. Which woman is not afraid to give birth to a child, but she has to walk around the gate of hell.

"Yeah." Zhao Weiguo nodded.

When people make decisions, they always take chances. Ye Zhenhua didn't think about it. What he did now, what the consequences would be in the future, he was full of eyes and only wanted to have a son who could carry on the lineage, which seemed worthy of listing. ancestors.

But Zhao Weiguo could only imagine how much Ye Zhenhua's behavior would hurt the girls in the Ye family.

"Go, go upstairs to take a shower and sleep." Xu Tao sighed, seeing that Zhao Weiguo was still silent, she reached out and pulled the man up from the sofa: "You go to the agency tomorrow and ask Xiang Xingwang to help recruit a reliable manager. Arranged from the taxi driver team."

If it is linked to money, it is better to find an outsider. When something happens, you don't have to think about it so much.

Zhao Weiguo also thought the same: "Tomorrow I will contact Xiang Xingwang."

"Yes." Xu Tao responded and went upstairs with Zhao Weiguo.

"I'll take a shower first."

"Go!" Zhao Weiguo nodded.

Xu Tao went to wash up, while Zhao Weiguo sat down on the stool in the room, looking at the old group photo on the table.

This group photo was taken when the recruit company's class was disbanded. The comrades in the photo are now going their separate ways, pursuing their future, and some have even died.

There are only two or three people who are still in the army. Time flies, times are changing, and people seem to be no longer the original people.

Zhao Weiguo looked at Ye Zhenhua in the photo with a heavy heart.

"What are you thinking?" Xu Tao came out of the shower and saw Zhao Weiguo holding the photo in a daze, then walked over to ask.

"Thinking of what happened when I was a recruit when I first joined the army." Zhao Weiguo reached out and put the photo on the table, his thoughts and tone were very nostalgic.

In the blink of an eye, it was already 18 years ago. Time is so fast.

Xu Tao followed Zhao Weiguo's line of sight and looked at the immature and young Zhao Weiguo in the photo. She was really curious about what kind of character Zhao Weiguo was at that time.

"I really want to see what you looked like when you were in the army." Xu Tao said, wrapping his hands around Zhao Weiguo's neck from behind.

Zhao Weiguo in the army is definitely different from now. He is not so calm. It can be seen from the photos that the teenage Zhao Weiguo is confident and flamboyant. He should be a thorny recruit.

"It's nothing special, just a little stupid." Zhao Weiguo downplayed his previous evaluation.

Every man, when evaluating youth and frivolity, almost always uses stupid to describe his youth.

"Stupid?" Xu Tao asked softly, turning her head to the side, and before waiting for Zhao Weiguo to answer, she smiled and said, "I don't believe it."

She couldn't even imagine how stupid Zhao Weiguo looked, and since he knew him, he always looked like he was confident. , is completely irrelevant to stupidity.

"Really." Zhao Weiguo lightly smiled and patted Xu Tao's hand: "Release, I'll take a bath."

"Okay." Xu Tao let go of his neck, and when Zhao Weiguo walked into the bathroom to wash, his eyes stayed on Take the photo for a moment before laying on the bed.

Zhao Weiguo took a bath very quickly, the weather was hot, he took a cold bath, and when he came out, his body felt cool.

Xu Tao was a little envious. Zhao Weiguo's physique matched the weather to be warm in winter and cool in summer, while she followed the weather, hot in summer and hot in winter, and cold in winter.

The man lay on the bed and gently took Xu Tao into his arms.

Xu Tao leaned against Zhao Weiguo's chest: "The people of the previous generation were thoroughly brainwashed by the power of others. Having a child seems to be the meaning of a woman's existence. Do you have other ideas because I can't give birth? "

No."

"In the past few years, your mother has been very concerned about whether there is any news about my belly. Will you compromise because of your family's ideas?"

This is the case in this era. The family planning implementation in Vancouver is still looking forward to it. Many sons and more blessings.

Xu Tao and Zhao Weiguo are married again. They are allowed to have a second child by the policy. Zhao Linan is also ten years old. Before, she could find a reason to shirk it, saying that Zhao Linan was still young and did not plan to have children for the time being. In the past two years, Zhao's mother Urging children is obviously powerful.

Xu Tao really did not expect that in a time of hard life, everyone is still so obsessed with their children. Mother Zhao should also have some opinions on her not being pregnant in these years.

Zhao Weiguo would not be urged by Zhao's mother to have other ideas, Ye Zhenhua's sword took a slant, and the old lady at home was probably responsible.

"Compromise what? Compromise to have a child?" Zhao Weiguo embraced Xu Tao.

"Yeah." Xu Tao nodded.

"Silly. When she called this year, did she mention something about having a baby?" Zhao Weiguo asked Xu Tao rhetorically.

"It doesn't seem to be." Xu Tao thought back.

"Last year, she asked me secretly in private. She was concerned about whether you were in poor health or not. Do you want to see a doctor? I told her that when I was injured in the army, it not only injured my leg but also affected my fertility. You haven't been pregnant because I have a problem." Zhao Weiguo couldn't help but chuckle.

At that time, when his mother learned that he had a problem, her expression was very exciting, and she was very nervous for a while, afraid that Xu Tao would have an opinion.

After all, Mother Zhao felt that no woman would not want to have a child of her own, even if Xu Tao treated Zhao Linan very well, like a mother and son.

"No wonder she didn't mention it on the phone call this year." Xu Tao was surprised.

She thought that Zhao's mother was silently saving her big move and was going to release it when she returned to her hometown during the Chinese New Year. Unexpectedly, Zhao Weiguo helped her solve this problem.

"Zhao Weiguo." Xu Tao turned around and rubbed into his arms: "You are so good, what should I do if I feel a little guilty?"

"Fool, what are you guilty of?" Zhao Weiguo put his arms around her and chuckled: "Tell her it's mine. The problem is that she will be nice to you, otherwise you and her will definitely start a world war, and I will be the one who gets angry in the middle."

Zhao Weiguo knows Xu Tao very well, and Zhao's mother also knows her character, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will always be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"You are smart enough to know how to resolve conflicts." Xu Tao smiled.

Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been harmonious, and men are very important. A man's attitude toward his daughter-in-law will also affect his mother-in-law. Smart men, such as Zhao Weiguo, take responsibility for themselves, and Zhao's mother dares to give birth.

Stupid men, such as Ye Zhenhua, can't solve the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they also have various attitudes of indifference, which will only make the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worse.

Ye Zhenhua also said that when he goes home every day, he has to be a peacemaker. The problem lies with him, but he has never tried to reflect on it.

Including the problem of not being able to give birth to a son, having a boy or a girl depends on the man. He also put the responsibility on Wu Hui, blaming Wu Hui for being unsatisfactory.

"We have Xiaonan anyway, and you are afraid of pain. Don't think I can't see it. Even if you can give birth, I don't think you are willing to give birth." The husband and wife shared the same bed for so long, Zhao Weiguo still knew Xu Tao.

She has always been very fortunate that she did not need to suffer from the pain of being pregnant for ten months to have a son.

Xu Tao was a little surprised: "You can see that?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Weiguo couldn't help laughing, hugging Xu Tao, and the man pressed down, and his thin lips gently pressed against the red lips.

Xu Tao raised her chin slightly to meet the man, and her eyes were full of smiles.

To be honest, her relationship with Zhao Weiguo has always been very good over the years, and there is no extreme rotten smell of crazy love. On the contrary, it seems that she has stepped into the marriage from the beginning, which is plain and true.

But instead, it was this kind of truth that was always with you, which made Xu Tao sink.

According to scientific research, the shelf life of love is very short. She and Zhao Weiguo seem to have never been in love, but they are happier than in love.

As for Zhao Weiguo, who was in his thirties, his energy was still very good. When he woke up early the next day, Xu Tao had another day of back pain.

After breakfast, Zhao Linan went to school, Zhao Weiguo had to go to the company in the more districts to deal with Ye Zhenhua's work first, and Xu Tao was going to go to Jinnanxuan Second Store.

After Jin Nanxuan Hotel opened, she made a lot of money, and Xu Tao didn't work as hard as before to write novels. She occasionally writes a little out of her brain every year, but writing books has become her hobby.

So in a week, she patrols the store four days, checking the accounts, writing a novel one day, resting one day, and random arrangements the other day.

Zhao Weiguo drove Xu Tao to the second store, and then drove himself to the Taoyuan company.

Chapter 094 Thought
Taoyuan Company, Zhao Weiguo parked the car and walked to the office.

Ye Zhenhua was in the office as usual. When he saw Zhao Weiguo walking into the office, he immediately stood up and handed him all the documents and reports in his hand.

"I have recorded all the morning shift work." Ye Zhenhua saw Zhao Weiguo catch the statement, and then said: "I will wait for the bank to open later, I will take the passbook and get it, and I will clear the account taken by the company."

"Okay." Zhao Weiguo nodded. Seeing Zhao Weiguo's indifferent attitude, Ye Zhenhua sat on the desk with the report, licked his dry lips, and said with a pleading temptation: " Weiguo

, can you give me another chance to reform?"

The community recruits security guards, Brother Hua, if you need to find a job, you can go and have a look." Zhao Weiguo would not let Ye Zhenhua continue to work in Taoyuan Company.

He knew that without a job, Ye Zhenhua would be at a loss for the time being, but he has been in the company for six years, and he should have some savings in these six years.

Trees are moved to death, people are moved to life, and the environment is changed. When life can't go on, I'm afraid I don't even think about my son.

"Okay." Ye Zhenhua opened his mouth and nodded with a heavy expression.

Turning around, Ye Zhenhua walked out of the office a little lonely, sitting on the small steps by the door, looking at Taoyuan Company.

When he followed Zhao Weiguo to this venue, he also witnessed the Taoyuan Company from scratch. He painted the walls of this parking lot, office, and lounge.

At first, I was carrying goods in the clothing market, earning some hard money a month, breaking a penny into two flowers, breaking my arm, and the whole family was waiting to drink the northwest wind. Later, Zhao Weiguo opened a Taoyuan company, carrying hundreds of thousands of loans. He also asked him to drive to the company and gave him a job.

At that time, he was very grateful, and secretly worried that the company would not be able to open. Zhao Weiguo had a huge debt all his life. At that time, he also knew that hundreds of thousands of loans could kill a person or even a family.

When did his mentality change? Maybe as the scale of Taoyuan taxis expanded, the data he handled every day became more and more huge. The monthly passenger revenue of Taoyuan Company increased from 100,000 at the beginning to 200,000 or even later. More.

The amount of money he handled was too much, and gradually he seemed to forget how hard it was to earn money. He even felt that his salary of more than 1,000 a month was nothing. Compared with Zhao Weiguo, who opened the company, his salary was simply not enough.

Ye Zhenhua couldn't help shaking his head and smiling. He only counted the big money Zhao Weiguo was earning every month, but he forgot how much courage Zhao Weiguo needed when he gave it a shot. The same thing was replaced by him. Even if he knew that he could make so much money now, he would not dare to take out a loan.

He doesn't have the courage to take on huge debts, and the risk of failure is something he can't even think about. Not to mention hundreds of thousands, even 10,000 is enough to make him quit.

After all, 10,000, in 1983, he carried the goods for a lifetime, maybe not even enough.

Zhao Weiguo was able to have what he is today because of what he paid in return, which he ignored.

The heart is not enough to swallow an elephant, and it is no wonder that Zhao Weiguo did not give him a chance.

Ye Zhenhua walked out of the Taoyuan company with a sigh, took the passbook to the bank door and waited. After the door opened, he took out more than 4,000 yuan, glanced at the balance on the passbook, and was relieved when he saw that there were still more than 10,000 yuan.

Thanks to the high salary in the past few years, Wu Hui has saved some money from frugality. With this money, even if he is temporarily out of work, the whole family will not starve to death.

After thinking about it, Ye Zhenhua took the money back to Taoyuan Company, he put the money on Zhao Weiguo's desk, turned around and left.

In the kitchen, Guo Pingping took her son and looked at Ye Zhenhua's back, and she was amazed, "Oh my god! Heaven has changed!

...

Xu Tao is accounting for the accounts at Jin Nanxuan No. 2 restaurant. By the way, to learn about the situation of the restaurant, he will also chat with the chef Tang Bozhong about the guests' feedback on the dishes.

After the chores were over, almost a day had passed, and Xu Tao was ready to go home.

Zhao Weiguo is expected to have dinner at Taoyuan Company today, and the off-duty time is also seven or eight in the evening.

Zhao Linan left school early, so she might be at home by now. Xu Tao could have dinner at Jin Nanxuan, but she couldn't ignore the growing children at home.

After coming out of Jinnanxuan No. 2 store, Xu Tao took a taxi to the entrance of the vegetable market, went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and went home to cook.

He held the key to open the door, stood at the entrance to change his slippers, glanced at Zhao Linan's home slippers, and knew that he had not returned home.

"What time is it, you haven't gone home yet?" Xu Tao said and glanced at her watch.

Although he didn't see Zhao Linan coming home from school on time, Xu Tao was not very worried. During the summer vacation, Zhao Linan often went to the basketball court in the nearby community to play. Maybe he went to the basketball court.

Guessing Zhao Linan's itinerary after school, Xu Tao also went into the kitchen and started cooking.

The gas stove is easy to use and quick to cook. After not having to burn the cauldron, Xu Tao is very happy, but occasionally she still misses the cauldron.

The gas stove is convenient, but it does not have the aroma of cooking with a large pot stove. The large pot stove burns firewood, simple home-cooked dishes, the same method, but has a different taste.

When Xu Tao was about to finish the meal, Zhao Linan also came back, and the boy walked into the kitchen with two fish in his hand.

"Why did you buy two fish?" Xu Tao asked in confusion. He just ate fish yesterday, and he ate it again today?

"Bought it for Xiaoxiao and Benben."

"?" Xu Tao blinked and looked at the two big fish. The two cats in the family were very fat, but they were usually fed dried small fish. Two such big fish, are they? Want to scare the cat to death?

"you sure?"

Facing Xu Tao's eyes, Zhao Linan scratched his head tangled: "You don't say that eating fish is smart, so I want to eat more to nourish my brain." Zhao Linan, who has always been a carnivore, replied and put the fish in the refrigerator .

"You're smart enough." Make a way for the other kids!

Although Zhao Linan had not tested his IQ, Xu Tao also knew that Zhao Linan was smarter than ordinary children.

However, the child is smart, and Xu Tao did not choose to help him grow, nor did he let him go to school. Except that he was a little younger than other classmates and studied in the morning, she would let Zhao Linan go through the childhood process that other children should have.

People can be happy only when they fit in with the group. The exceptional little geniuses who are out of tune with ordinary people are often unhappy. She doesn't want Zhao Linan to become that kind of genius.

"Isn't it smarter?" Zhao Linan answered.

"Okay." Xu Tao didn't refute or pursue it. It's just two fish. Buy it as soon as you buy it.

Because Zhao Weiguo didn't come back for dinner, only mother and son ate dinner, accompanied by two fat cats.

Xu Tao was eating and asked a few things about the children and classmates, and Zhao Linan answered obediently.

After dinner, Zhao Linan was in charge of washing the dishes.

Usually Zhao Weiguo is not at home, so Zhao Linan basically does the dishes.

Xu Tao occasionally sighs that time flies fast, and Zhao Linan can't kiss and hug at will when he grows up, and he starts to pay attention to privacy and becomes shy, but it's good for children to grow up.

For example, Zhao Linan will start helping out with his work, washing dishes, mopping the floor, cleaning and other trivial things, he does not less.

When Zhao Weiguo came back from the company, it was 9:30 in the evening. Xu Tao had already taken a bath and was lying on the bed.

The man took off his watch, took off his clothes, and told Xu Tao about Ye Zhenhua's repayment today.

"He didn't ask you a few words?" Xu Tao raised an eyebrow.

"I gave up after saying a few words." Ye Zhenhua is also very clear about his personality, and the decisions he made will basically not change.

Xu Tao nodded and continued to read while holding the book. In the era of lack of mobile phones, the only thing to pass the time was the TV, that is, books.

It's good, anyway, Xu Tao likes to read books, she read all kinds of Chinese and foreign books, strange things and anecdotes, etc. Now she is holding a horror book, which she also finds very interesting.

"What are you looking at?" Zhao Weiguo couldn't help asking curiously when he saw the various expressions on Xu Tao's face when he came back from the shower.

Xu Tao read it very seriously. To be honest, the charm of horror books is still amazing. When you read it, your brain will follow the pictures, stimulating and feeling: "Horror books."

"Aren't you afraid?" Zhao Weiguo raised his eyebrows .

Xu Tao bit her lip, her tone a little weak: "I'm afraid, but I can't help wanting to see it."

People who are timid, afraid of the dark, and afraid of heights often have a common problem, that is, they are more addicted to counseling.

Xu Tao herself has a rich imagination. People who can write books have big brains. She is afraid of horror movies, but she likes to watch them. It is really a contradiction between love and hate. My brain is all in the brain, and I feel that the room is full of monsters and ghosts, but I can still watch it.

Zhao Weiguo took away her book amusingly: "Don't read it, I'll tell you." The man turned off the light and lay down with Xu Tao in his arms.

It is not unreasonable to say that a man is a teenager until he dies. Zhao Weiguo is in his thirties, and he is also very talented in telling ghost stories to scare women.

The room was dark, with only a few stars shining through the curtains occasionally, and the atmosphere was just right.

Xu Tao leaned on Zhao Weiguo and listened to the man's deep voice telling stories. Zhao Weiguo told ghost stories, and it was also a folk tale. It also had a little superstitious flavor, cadence, and a terrifying atmosphere. Peach was fascinated.

"Then what? What happened to the girl being caught by the male ghost?" Xu Tao asked.

"Then, the male ghost pressed the beautiful woman who was walking at night on the grass..." The man's voice changed, and the terrifying atmosphere he had deliberately created before was now gone.

Xu Tao felt the man's big palm rubbing against her slender waist, she gritted her teeth and cursed, but Zhao Weiguo's enthusiastic sneak attack responded to her.

The intimacy after stimulating the horror story was more intense than ever. When the sky was light, Xu Tao fell asleep slowly by leaning on the man.

When she woke up, the sky was already bright, Xu Tao stretched her waist and looked at the big sun outside, and stayed in bed for a while before getting up.

Originally, she planned to go to Jin Nanxuan's third store today, but she woke up late. The only two men in the family, who went to work and went to school, she was too lazy to go out by herself, so she planned to stay at home all morning.

I went downstairs into the kitchen, drank some warm porridge, and turned on the TV in the living room. With the rise of Hong Kong dramas in the past two years, there are also many classic works in the TV series to pass the time.

The entertainment industry is not like it was in the past. As long as you can talk and have a face, you can basically be the protagonist and treat TV watchers as fools.

In a TV drama now, whether it is an actor, a supporting role, a director, an editor, etc., they will be very serious and responsible, so even a TV drama that is very popular will find it more interesting than many later dramas.

After watching the drama, I stayed in the house, and I stayed there quickly in the morning. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Taocai changed clothes and went out. She was going to go shopping, and bought some new clothes and sneakers for Zhao Linan by the way. The little boy grew up fast, and the clothes often couldn't be worn for a few months.

Carrying her bag and changing her shoes, Xu Tao opened the door, only to see Wu Hui sitting on the steps with her back to the door.

It was very hot in Yangcheng in September. The sun was shining and the eggs were cooked. Wu Hui just sat there and turned around when she heard the door open.

After Wu Hui gave birth to the fifth child, the two did not see each other very often, but in the past she was fine, but now her eyes are red and her cheeks are flushed. Profuse sweating.

"Sister-in-law..." Xu Tao called softly.

Wu Hui pursed her lips and stood up from the steps, patted her trousers with both hands, looked at Xu Tao, and forced a slight smile from the corner of her mouth: "Are you going out?"

"Yes, I want to go out to buy something, but No hurry." Xu Tao replied, and then let her down: "How long has my sister-in-law been here, why didn't you knock on the door? It's hot outside, so let's sit in the room first."

When Wu Hui visited like this, Xu Tao basically knew what to do. .

Wu Hui nodded and walked into the door awkwardly. She had been there once when she moved house and housewarming, and she was no stranger to the Zhao family's small villa.

"Sister-in-law sit first, I'll pour you a glass of water." Xu Tao put down her bag and invited Wu Hui to sit on the sofa, while she went to the kitchen to pour water.

Wu Hui sat stiffly on the sofa, looking at Xu Tao who had poured water out of the kitchen.

Xu Tao handed the water cup to Wu Hui, Wu Hui took the water cup and put it on her lap, her whole head bowed in frustration.

Seeing her like this, Xu Tao didn't immediately ask. She also sat on the sofa for a while before speaking.

"Is there something wrong with my sister-in-law?" In fact, she could imagine what it was, and then judging from her state, Xu Tao understood somewhat in her heart that Wu Hui might have known something.

Wu Hui held the cup and looked at the water in the cup: "Ye Zhenhua said he no longer works in Taoyuan Company. I don't quite understand why he suddenly made this decision, and said that he would try to do a small business or trade by himself."

Xu Tao pursed her lips, guessing that Ye Zhenhua didn't tell Wu Hui that he had made false accounts.

"There are a lot of people doing business outside now. It's normal for him to try to break in." Xu Tao answered, but did not expose Ye Zhenhua's lies.

Frankly speaking, Wu Hui should not be the one to be deceived, and Xu Tao also does not want to be the villain who exposes the lies. And she said that Wu Hui might not be able to accept her kindness.

Many people would rather live in a lie than want the truth to be exposed.

"But what kind of business can he do? Brother and sister, you ask Wei Guo to talk to him well, let him stop thinking and continue working in Taoyuan? But when I persuaded him, he didn't listen at all, and even put the family's bankbook. He quietly took it away in the middle of the night, and I don't know what he was going to do, all the savings in the family are in the bankbook!" Wu Hui looked at Xu Tao, and was very helpless and uncomfortable when she spoke.

Ye Zhenhua was so strange, she decided to let it go, and didn't listen to the advice at all, she thought something might have happened.

"Is he hiding something from me?" Wu Hui couldn't help looking at Xu Tao.

"Sister-in-law, he may have his own thoughts and plans. Did he hide anything from you? If it was in the Taoyuan company, something did happen. He made some mistakes at work, so he couldn't continue to work in the Taoyuan company. Go to work." Xu Tao didn't hide this, but he wouldn't say it directly.

Even if Wu Hui has never read Ye Zhenhua's work, she still knows it. It is equivalent to keeping accounts and calculating money, so it should not be impossible to understand.

"Make a mistake, is he sloppy or misrepresented?" Wu Hui murmured absentmindedly, and then suddenly realized: "I just said, why did he suddenly say he wants to do business."

Xu Tao looked at Wu Hui lightly and suddenly realized.

"Brother and sister, did he make a serious mistake? Can you forgive him and let him continue to work in the Taoyuan company. I think he may have made a mistake because his family is not very comfortable recently." Wu Hui helped to say good things.

Since the old lady came to Yangcheng, the family has been restless every day. There was a lot of noise for three days, and a lot of noise for two days. He said that he had a headache in the middle. A peacemaker.

She didn't want to be arguing like this every day, she had been forbearing, but the old lady was too bitter and mean, she married Ye Zhenhua for all these years, and it was fine that she had not enjoyed the happiness, but she swallowed a lot of grievances.

She kept her mouth shut and acted as a mute when she had nothing to do, and she was still dissatisfied, and she was willing to tear up the house.

"Sister-in-law, there is no room for change in work." Xu Tao shook her head, and felt that Wu Hui was so pitiful that even Ye Zhenhua took some responsibility for work.

"Not at all?" Wu Hui's eyes were red.

Xu Tao nodded, giving Wu Hui no hope.

Wu Hui immediately grabbed the cup, tears falling silently.

"Since he brought his mother to Yangcheng last year, he has changed, and he doesn't look like him anymore." Wu Hui said absentmindedly: "I was wondering if it was because of the noise at home every day, but I still I can't figure it out."

Xu Tao felt that Wu Hui, as a bedside person, still felt something was wrong, and most men's acting skills were exceptionally poor.

Wu Hui is a woman, and she is also a cautious, family-centered, dedicated woman. This kind of person is often very sensitive. After all, marriage is her lifelong career.

"Brother and sister, tell me the truth, is he secretly looking for a woman outside?" Wu Hui was puzzled, and before Xu Tao reminded her, she took the lead in asking.

Xu Tao was a little relieved, but fortunately she wasn't so stupid that she didn't realize anything. No wonder she had such a big reaction, maybe she already knew it.

"I wash all his clothes. A few months ago, I found that there was a perm on the collar of his clothes. No one at home or in the Taoyuan office has perm. I kept thinking, how did the hair get done? ." Wu Hui said and couldn't help choking.

When he came back the night before yesterday, he was very strange. In the middle of the night, while she was asleep, he quietly got up and looked through the passbook, like a thief. At that time, she was pretending to be asleep, and she knew that something was not right. When she came home last night, Ye Zhenhua said that she was no longer working in Taoyuan Company.

"I was just suspicious before, and I didn't dare to think about it. After all, he pays me his salary every month. He doesn't have much money, so what can he do out of the ordinary." Wu Hui said with a sarcastic smile: " You said he made some mistakes, I was thinking, what mistakes could he make, Wei Guo arranged for him to manage the company, he was responsible for keeping accounts and collecting money, so did he take money from the company to find women outside."

Xu To tell the truth, if it weren't for the situation, I would have liked to give Wu Hui some applause.

To be able to guess by intuition, and to guess everything, shows how terrifying a woman's sixth sense is.

"Since my sister-in-law suspected for a long time, why did she say it now?"

Wu Hui cried and laughed, holding on to the cup, as if to absorb some strength from the cup: "I wanted to ask him what the hell was going on. It's one thing, but I dare not ask." I dare

not ask! These three words are simple and weightless, but they express Wu Hui's helplessness and sadness.

Asked, to reveal the truth of the matter, what can she do, divorce? After the divorce, how will she live in the future? She is almost forty years old, and a woman from the countryside is not literate. She just wants to be a nanny for others. Many people who can afford nanny do not want it.

Moreover, the youngest daughter is only six years old, the eldest daughter is about to graduate from technical secondary school, and is almost at the age of getting married. If her parents divorce, she will be affected by her husband's family.

Wu Hui herself is a traditional woman. After thinking about many things over and over again, how dare she break it, hold all the savings in the family, pretend she doesn't know a man's fascination, and maintain family peace, it is probably the best she can think of. way. Presumably this is also the reason why Ye Zhenhua has no fear!

"Sister-in-law, Xiaoqin will graduate from secondary school in June next year." Ye Xiaoqin is 19 years old this year, and she is a mature and sensible girl.

"Well."

"That little chess is coming soon." Xu Tao calculated the time and speculated that Wu Hui's two daughters should both protect her.

"Yeah! I've been waiting for a few girls to graduate from technical secondary schools, and I'm looking forward to them starting to work. At that time, there are several people in the family who work and receive wages. After saving for two years, they can buy a house in Yangcheng safely." Wu Hui said the original idea.

"You can also think about it now." Xu Tao answered.

Wu Hui shook her head silently.

"Sister-in-law, if Brother Hua did something wrong to you, would you choose to divorce him?" Xu Tao looked at Wu Hui, wanting to see how she would choose.

"He really found a woman." Wu Hui did not answer Xu Tao's words, but instead used a certain attitude to understand what Xu Tao said.

At this point, Xu Tao also decided to make it clear to Wu Hui, and what to do in the end is up to Wu Hui herself. If she chooses to forbear to maintain the family, it is understandable, and it also takes great courage to choose a divorce. In fact, no matter what kind of decision it was, Wu Hui had a hard time.

"He started making fake accounts at the end of last year, and took the money from the fake accounts to find a woman. Wei Guo found out that the company's accounts were wrong a few days ago, and Brother Hua had no choice but to admit it. Now the woman is pregnant and is about to give birth."

Wu Hui always held the cup in both hands. When Xu Tao finished speaking, she was silent for a long time, as if there was no big reaction, but the trembling of her hands when she tried to put the cup on the coffee table betrayed her true emotions. .

"I've been married to him for 20 years. I've been a cow and a horse all these years. I've had five daughters. There are no words to describe myself.

He could understand her suffering, how could this happen now.

"You doubted it before, and I think you should have considered the worst. Now there are two paths in front of you. If you choose to maintain a family, you will be the same as before, pretending to know nothing. Brother Hua is the I plan to wait for the woman to give birth to the child and take the child home to you to raise, maybe a boy or a girl. If you choose this path, you have to be mentally prepared and don't regret it, but neither is your mother-in-law. Life should be disgusting and frustrating."

Xu Tao directly analyzed the situation for Wu Hui, Xu Tao did not want to be a villain, but if she had to choose, she would definitely support Wu Hui.

"Of course, you can choose not to live like this and get divorced. If you get divorced, you may be criticized, and it may also affect Xiaoqin and her sisters, but they are all grown up and sensible. I think they should want you to be happier. In fact, the divorce is not that serious, and you can even have a good life. For example, Qin Yurou, she left the wrong man, and now she is reborn and not too happy every day."

"But..." Wu Hui He opened his mouth to refute.

Xu Tao raised her hand to stop Wu Hui's but: "I know what you want to say, she is young, beautiful, educated, she has the courage to divorce, and she has no children, right?"

"Well." Wu Hui pointed nodded.

"These are indeed her advantages, but except for the youngest daughter, you are all sensible. If you want to get a divorce, you don't have to worry too much. I can arrange work for you, and go to the restaurant to help wash the dishes. Well, it's okay to go back to work in the cafeteria, and you won't be cornered." After Xu Tao's analysis, she also promised a job.

"I don't know how to choose." Wu Hui shook her head with trembling.

For her, divorce is like jumping off a cliff. She doesn't know whether she will live or die if she jumps under the cliff, fall on a rock, or hang on a treetop, she doesn't know all.

The only thing she knew was that Xu Tao would hand her a bamboo pole. She had to rely on this bamboo pole to climb to the bottom of the cliff before she knew the result. She also had to worry about whether the bamboo pole would be strong or not.

Not getting a divorce is like jumping into the sea. She can't swim, and jumping into the sea will suffocate.

She has experienced the icy cold of the sea, and also knows that the water level only submerges her nose. She is soaked in the sea, but as long as she puts her toes up hard, she can breathe, and she will not suffocate to death.

But standing on tiptoe will be tiring and tormenting, because without a boat, you will never be able to land.

"You can think about it slowly. If you can't make a decision, ask Xiaoqin and Xiaoqi. They both grew up. You used to live your life around your family, maybe you can change your way of life in the future." Xu Tao also guessed that Wu Hui would not make a decision lightly.

She couldn't make a decision, but Xu Tao was more at ease. The entanglement meant that Wu Hui herself had thought about divorce.

Chapter 095 Housework
Wu Hui bit her lip and nodded, as if she listened to Xu Tao's words, but: "Brother and sister, have you seen that woman?"

Isn't she young and beautiful.

"No." Xu Tao shook her head.

To be honest, Xu Tao wasn't very interested in that woman, but she could guess what kind of person it was that she could get involved with Ye Zhenhua, presumably not a good cabbage, maybe just for the money.

After all, Ye Zhenhua is in his 40s this year. He is not young, nor is he outstanding in appearance. In Xu Tao's eyes, he is an ordinary person thrown into the crowd.

Could that woman still be true love to Ye Zhenhua? What does she want, it is impossible to picture that Ye Zhenhua is mediocre, and that he has a family? Nine times out of ten, money and sex are traded, and everyone takes what they need.

If it was Zhao Weiguo, it would be fine. Thirty-four-year-old Zhao Weiguo, who can punch his face and straight legs, is still very attractive. Of course, Xu Tao actually wanted to say, does Zhao Weiguo deserve to be Zhao Linan's father?

"I think instead of being curious about that woman, you might as well figure out whether you are divorced or not." Xu Tao felt the need to remind Wu Hui: "You don't have so much time to think about. That woman is about to give birth, what she wants is Qian, when you give birth to a child, take the money and leave, Ye Zhenhua will take the child home and let you raise it. Even if you figure out that you want a divorce, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

Of course, it may be true love, giving birth to a son requires money people. Ye Zhenhua may in turn take the initiative to divorce Wu Hui, but Wu Hui will also be empty of money and money, but if she gave birth to a daughter, the matter is estimated to be interesting.

Ye Zhenhua was so persistent in wanting a son, lost his job, spent so much money to get a daughter back, he could vomit blood himself, but he really gave birth to a daughter, how could Ye Zhenhua get a divorce, his situation is gone It is impossible to find an obedient woman like Wu Hui.

In addition, women tend to be soft-hearted, especially a woman like Wu Hui. Even if she feels aggrieved, Ye Zhenhua will put down her face, kneel and kneel to repent, and a few drops of crocodile tears will flow, and Wu Hui can still relentlessly divorce. ?

So Xu Tao felt that Wu Hui should make a decision quickly. If she wants to get a divorce, she should make a time difference to get divorced before the woman is born, otherwise, most of the things that follow will be bloody and disgusting.

"I, I'm going to find Xiaoqin, and I'll ask her." Wu Hui immediately stood up from the sofa.

"Yeah." Xu Tao nodded and sent Wu Hui away.

"Sister-in-law." Xu Tao stood at the door, looked at Wu Hui who was a little impatient, and stopped her again.

Wu Huigang stepped down the stairs at the door and turned back.

"If you decide to divorce, ask Xiaoqin to prepare a valid divorce agreement for you. You and your spouse will share half of your savings over the years. When he feels guilty about you, ask him to sign it. If he hesitates, you can use it to The conflict between you and Mrs. Ye will wake him up, and then use a possible son to make him dizzy." Xu Tao can probably guess how things will develop depends on Wu Hui's decision.

"If I guess right, the woman should be young, at least a dozen years younger than you. You tell Ye Zhenhua that if you are divorced, you can hold your son, hug your young wife, and bring family harmony. Without you Living with Mrs. Ye's needle-point to Maimang, these bait, if you don't believe him, he won't bite the hook and eat it."

People! Whatever he wants, whatever pie you draw for him, you don't need to work hard, he will eat it on his own.

"Well." Wu Hui listened carefully.

She still has a clear self-awareness. She is illiterate, uneducated, average-looking, and her brain is not smart enough. But she knew that Xu Tao was smart, and she couldn't be a smart person herself, but she could listen to the words of smart people.

"You took the money and got divorced. You can pray to God in peace and sincerity, praying that he will die without a child." Xu Tao encouraged Wu Hui with a bad mind: "You must know that he has no job now. "

So what are you afraid of? Obviously a good decision.

Wu Hui was vaguely awakened by what Xu Tao said. She was originally struggling with whether or not to divorce, but she was more afraid of her own life in the future. She had become accustomed to relying on Ye Zhenhua, and she also considered her children.

But if the daughter also wanted her to divorce, and the matter was mentioned by Xu Tao, then the woman gave birth to a daughter, and Ye Zhenhua would probably be so angry.

Xu Tao is right. He has no job now. After leaving Taoyuan Company, what good job can he find? It is estimated that as a porter in the market like before, it will be a problem to earn a little salary every month to eat enough.

If she doesn't get divorced, she will continue to be scolded by the old woman's nose, and she will have to help Ye Zhenhua raise other women's children. Then wait for Ye Zhenhua to earn a little salary every month, and then pay the rent and live a life where he can't even afford a piece of meat?

Is this kind of life really better than when she gets divorced and cooks in the Taoyuan company, eats three meals and drinks enough, and gets paid? Won't! How could it be good!

If you don't know well, why didn't she get a divorce? Haven't had enough hard days?

Bah, divorce, not divorce is a big fool.

The moment she figured it out, Wu Hui felt that her chest, which was so blocked up that her breathing hurt, seemed to be smooth.

"Thank you." Wu Hui looked at Xu Tao, thanked her sincerely, and left in a hurry.

Sure enough, you still have to listen to smart people more, they really see much more clearly than her!

Xu Tao looked at the back of Wu Hui's departure, pursed her lips and smiled, and began to look forward to the development of things with a wicked taste. Ye Zhenhua's dream of wanting a son was shattered, it should be very interesting.

Of course, Xu Tao didn't think about it, maybe if he really gave birth to a son, what if Ye Zhenhua got what he wanted? He has a son, and his beautiful young daughter-in-law also hugs him.

The imagination is rich, but the reality is cruel. The woman gave birth to a son and wanted to spend money with Ye Zhenhua. However, half of Ye Zhenhua's savings were divided by Wu Hui, and there should not be much left.

Judging from the more than 4,000 yuan that Ye Zhenhua took away from the company, that woman should still be quite expensive. Ye Zhenhua doesn't have a job, and he has some savings left to live on. If he wants to do anything, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. As a woman who wants to make money, he realizes that he has to accompany the old man Ye Zhenhua to endure hardship without money. Maybe he can run faster than a rabbit. .

If none of this happens, then Xu Tao said that she can only send a sincere blessing, a bitch and a dog will last forever!

Even if Wu Hui might regret after her divorce, and in turn resented her for talking about persuading her to leave, Xu Tao thought about it, but still reminded Wu Hui. Of course, maybe Wu Hui also woke up after the divorce, and found that without a man, she doesn't have to be angry with her vicious mother-in-law, and her life is wonderful!

There are many possibilities, good and bad. Thinking about it, Xu Tao turned around and went out to the mall with her bag.

There is no shortage of money in hand, and Xu Tao is very willing to buy things. He bought a lot of large and small bags. Zhao Linan's clothes, trousers, and shoes, she also bought two sets for herself, and also bought them for Zhao Weiguo, but not much.

One afternoon in the shopping mall, the expenditure is not small, the harvest is not small, and the sense of achievement in consumption is very sufficient.

Carrying a pile of things home, it was already evening, Xu Tao was a little tired and sat on the sofa to rest.

Zhao Weiguo knew Xu Tao very well. She probably woke up late, and she didn't have time to go to the store, so most of the time she didn't go out, so he came back from the morning shift.

"Stealing the mall?" Zhao Weiguo raised his eyebrows and teased when he saw Xu Tao's harvest.

"There's no way, whoever made Xiaonan grow fast has to buy it from head to toe." Xu Tao stood up and spread her hands: "Since they've all gone, I'll buy some for you and me by the way."

"I'm flattered, I didn't expect it . I still have my share!" Zhao Weiguo smiled and looked at the clothes box and bag.

"I don't like to hear your words. You are my man, so I can forget you when I spend money?" Xu Tao complained and emphasized.

"My fault." Zhao Weiguo immediately took the responsibility, but he also knew that there was a lot of water in her words.

Xu Tao was satisfied with Zhao Weiguo's desire to survive, and then gave him the things he bought for Zhao Weiguo with a chuckle.

"Just this small bag?" Zhao Weiguo reached out and took it in his hand. The bag was very light, and then he looked at Xu Tao's other spoils in doubt.

"Vulgar, there are not too many things in essence, the key is my heart." Xu Tao retorted rigorously.

Zhao Weiguo cooperated with her rebuttal, and also counted the number at will, and then looked at Xu Tao in disbelief, whether this woman was clearly treated differently.

"I bought 20 items, and your mother takes half of it, and I have a bag?"

"Well, are you happy?" Xu Tao pretended to nod.

Zhao Weiguo said helplessly: "I'm happy." After speaking insincerely, he reached out to open the bag, took out the things, and saw the panties in leopard print.

The blue veins on the man's forehead jumped, is this her intention?

Xu Tao smiled and raised her eyebrows at Zhao Weiguo: "How about it, it feels good!" The

men's leopard print, the fabric is extraordinarily comfortable, don't look at it as a small piece, the price is really not cheap, and it is in line with her saying not much.

"...Is it okay?" Zhao Weiguo pinched the fabric and felt it, looking at the women who were full of smiles after teasing him: "I can't believe that you are quite wild in your heart."

"Praise?"

" Compliment." Zhao Weiguo nodded.

"Wild?"

"Wild." The man gave a real affirmation.

"Is it exciting?"

"Exciting." Zhao Weiguo cooperated with a smile.

Xu Tao was so happy that she wanted to roll, to be honest, the occasional skin was really happy.

At this moment, the sound of the door of the house being opened came.

Zhao Weiguo immediately stuffed Xu Tao's thoughts back into the bag.

At the door, Zhao Linan came back with a schoolbag on his back. The boy was carrying three more big fish and was changing his shoes with his head down.

Xu Tao looked at the fish: "Zhao Linan, has the fish offended you recently?"

"No." Zhao Linan shook his head.

"Then the fish you bought yesterday was still frozen in the refrigerator, and now you bring three more?" Xu Tao was a little worried.

Zhao Linan's expression was also very tangled, and he held the fish for a while: "Mom, Jin Nanxuan Hotel buys a lot of fish every day!"

"Well, I buy a lot, what's wrong?" Xu Tao nodded.

"Anyway, it's fish, it's the same wherever you buy it. Can you buy it from the old grandpa at the fish stall in the vegetable market in the future? Their fish is very good, look." Zhao Linan said, holding the fish in his hand for Xu Tao to see.

The real object prevails, not a hype.

"The fish in the restaurant is delivered by a familiar fishmonger every day."

"But their fish is really good." Zhao Linan continued to sell unwillingly.

Xu Tao also saw that Zhao Linan was weird: "Know?"

"Yes." Zhao Linan nodded.

He and Wei Zhenyu have been in the same class since the first grade of elementary school. Wei Zhenyu's grades are good, ranking next to him, and he is also the second child of Wannian.

But Wei Zhenyu is very withdrawn. He basically never talks to his classmates, and he is alone every day.

After the fight and misunderstanding that day, he happened to meet him at the fish stall again. When he went to school the next day, he couldn't help but curiously asked some of his classmates. Only then did he know the real situation of Wei Zhenyu's family. Grandpa sells fish for a living.

If the business is good, if you sell more fish, your life will be better, but if the business is not good, you will not be able to sell the fish. If you die, you will sell it at a loss.

"Their stalls are not big, so they don't have many fish they can deliver!" Xu Tao had also been to the vegetable market, and naturally knew the small fish stall.

Jin Nanxuan's several stores have a large amount of ingredients every day, and the small fish stall can't eat it.

"Well, business doesn't seem to be very good." There are a lot of fish every day, so he went to buy fish.

Wei Zhenyu would help watch the stall after school. He used to buy fish and he would sell them without asking or saying a word.

"The fish that Jin Nanxuan uses every day is predetermined and cannot be changed suddenly." This is also unfair to others.

Zhao Linan nodded disappointedly to show his understanding.

"But the fish for the banquet is basically the day before the banquet. The procurement and kitchen will contact and deliver the fish according to the dishes and the number of tables that the guests have booked for the banquet." Xu Tao said, watching Zhao Linan light up. Small eyes.

this kid!

"Jin Nanxuan has a total of four restaurants and banquet halls. Although they don't have reservations every day, they still need 2,000 catties of fish a month. Can the small fish stall deliver so many fish?" Xu Tao raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Linan.

"Should be able to...!" Zhao Linan was not sure, but he felt that Wei Zhenyu would be very willing.

Two thousand catties of fish per month can make life easier for him and his grandfather! He doesn't seem to have paid the class fee, I don't know if it is because he has no money.

Zhao Linan thought a little happily: "Mom, thank you, you are really the greatest, most beautiful, and the best mother in the world."

"Wait, don't rush to praise me." Xu Tao reached out her hand to stop the child's happiness, Not going to be fired by sugar-coated cannonballs.

"..." Zhao Linan looked at Xu Tao.

Not to boast?

"Mom, I'm a businessman. Businessmen seek profit. You can't just say thank you. You have to do something or give in exchange." Xu Tao said while thinking about what Zhao Linan should do.

"?" Zhao Linan always felt that he might have to cede the land and pay indemnity: "Half a year of housework?"

The boy was very careful with the word "half a year", and when he looked at Xu Tao, he was also seriously judging whether he needed to increase his chips, wouldn't it take a year!

"No, it's your men's basic duty to do housework." Xu Tao shook his head, seeking welfare to Zhao Weiguo, but he could not wash dishes for three months.

"Mom..." Zhao Linan was a little confused, the ten-year-old boy looked at Zhao Weiguo.

Zhao Weiguo knew that this could be considered as a benefit for him, and three months of housework was worth it.

"It's rare for him to beg you once. If he doesn't satisfy the child, let me rest as well?" Zhao Weiguo whispered in Xu Tao's ear as he spoke, "Leopard print can't appease me."

"I didn't say everything . , what matters is your mind." Xu Tao blushed and retorted.

"Mom." Zhao Linan saw Zhao Weiguo's help as a lobbyist, so he tried to act like a spoiled brat with the fish.

"Okay, okay, I'm really afraid of you." Xu Tao didn't insist too much, mainly for a while, and she herself didn't expect Zhao Linan to do anything.

"I'm going to tell Wei Zhenyu, Mom, here it is, I love you." Zhao Linan smiled and shoved the fish into Xu Tao's hands.

Wei Zhenyu? Xu Tao raised her eyebrows. Is it the boy with a gloomy look in the school fight?

It seems that they have become friends because of a fight, Xu Tao thought.

Zhao Weiguo watched Zhao Linan run out and put his hand around Xu Tao's waist: "Do you feel the wildness at night?"

"No, I have a sore back, so I'll be exempt from the battle." Xu Tao shook his head, and then said softly, "Cook! I'm hungry. ."

"Okay." Zhao Weiguo nodded, he would occasionally say hi, but he was also measured.

The family started cooking, Zhao Linan came out and got on his bicycle, galloped all the way to the vegetable market, and after stopping the car, Zhao Linan walked in slowly.

"?" Wei Zhenyu, who was sitting next to the fish stall, looked at Zhao Linan who came back empty-handed, a little puzzled: "Do you want to buy fish?"

Although he didn't know what Zhao Linan was doing and why he came to buy fish, but if he wanted to buy it, he would sell it! The fish stall business is not very good, and the money earned is just barely enough to live on.

Grandpa has a cough these two days, and he is reluctant to buy medicine. He is in a hurry!

"I want to buy a lot of fish, do you have that many fish?" Zhao Linan glanced at the two large water basins in the small fish stall, and there were only five fish left in it.

Wei Zhenyu looked at Zhao Linan and didn't want to talk to him any more, but he was a guest who came to buy fish. For the sake of money, he said, "How many do you want to buy?"

"Not much, just two thousand catties." Zhao Linan His tone was normal, then he looked at Wei Zhenyu: "There are so many fish?"

Wei Zhenyu was stunned, two thousand catties? He deliberately came to play with him! There's no end to bragging.

"Go away." Wei Zhenyu's expression darkened.

Zhao Linan also gritted his back molars. To be honest, Wei Zhenyu sometimes really sucks. He ranked second, and he seemed very unhappy that he won the first place. Since the first grade.

That day, Liu Haojie deliberately smeared him, and Zhao Linan more or less had the revenge element of personal hatred in his eyes. Who made this kid always look gloomy and wanted to kill him? He has endured him for a long time.

"Did you know about Jinnanxuan Hotel?"

Wei Zhenyu didn't look back, he sat on the stool and didn't intend to pay attention to him. Grandpa went home to cook, and he wanted to wait. If there were no customers to buy fish, he would close the stall and go home.

Zhao Linan continued to grit his teeth: "Jin Nanxuan Hotel uses a lot of fish dishes, about 2,000 catties of live fish a month, and it needs to be delivered to the restaurant. Except for the store in Tian District, the other branches are quite far away, in other districts. Do you want to do this business?"

He found Wei Zhenyu quite unpleasant, but it didn't affect him to help him.

Wei Zhenyu looked at Zhao Linan and was silent for a long time.

Isn't he kidding?

Jinnanxuan Restaurant, a famous chain restaurant in Yangcheng, has a very good business. I heard people say that a dish in it costs hundreds of yuan, and a meal is equivalent to a month's salary.

What is the relationship between Zhao Linan and Jin Nanxuan Hotel? Two thousand pounds of fish? Wei Zhenyu thought, and then gritted his teeth.

"Yes, if you have business, you will definitely do it." A man can bend and stretch, and two thousand catties of live fish can make a lot of money. Grandpa set up a stall here for a month, and the business is good, and he can only sell more than one thousand catties of fish a month.

Although the delivery must be troublesome and tiring, but with an extra two thousand catties of live fish, the lives of him and his grandfather can also be improved.

Seeing Wei Zhenyu agree, Zhao Linan's tightly pursed lips and indifferent expression almost didn't hold back, but he still managed to control it, but the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

"Then it's settled."

"You and I agreed, you can call the shots?" Wei Zhenyu's eyes were full of menace.

Zhao Linan also realized that he was happy just now, but he didn't ask his mother that Wei Zhenyu sent the fish to the restaurant, when, how, how much, and who to contact.

Zhao Linan was stunned for a moment, and Wei Zhenyu suddenly thought he was being teased by being a puppy.

"You babble for a long time, let me deliver the fish, my grandfather and I deliver the fish, what should the restaurant do? Zhao Linan, you are playing with me." Wei Zhenyu's tone was cold, his eyes were cold, his hands clenched into fists, his anger was completely suppressed not live.

Zhao Linan also saw that Wei Zhenyu seemed to be a little injured, and immediately explained: "I'm not sick, what are you doing?"

This was paid for three months. Come to play with people, the area of ​​the home is large, and it takes half an hour to drag the ground!

Zhao Linan took a deep breath angrily: "I didn't ask the details clearly, otherwise you will come with me now and talk to Boss Jin Nanxuan yourself."

"Hmph, don't go." He won't be fooled by him!

"Then, at 7:30 tomorrow morning, you will go to the entrance of the vegetable market. I will tell you after I ask."

"Hey!" Wei Zhenyu ignored Zhao Linan, sneered coldly, bent down and started to close the stall.

Zhao Linan looked at Wei Zhenyu's indifferent closing of the booth, and did not rush to explain, but turned and left.

He went home and asked about it before telling Wei Zhenyu, otherwise he always felt like he was going to be beaten.

Wei Zhenyu put away the fish stall and glanced at Zhao Linan's figure, feeling a little complicated, he wouldn't believe a bunch of nonsense he made up, the fool only waited for him at 7:30 in the morning.

But what if he wasn't kidding?

Wei Zhenyu couldn't help but hold some expectations. Although life in this world is very hard, there is not much goodwill. But if Zhao Linan hadn't lied to him, then he wouldn't have to worry about the rent he hadn't paid this month and his grandpa's cough.

Although he thought Zhao Linan was an eyesore, among all the students in the school, grade, class, and all, he thought Zhao Linan was the most annoying.

Not only because his grades always weighed on him, but also because he lived a life of wanton without any troubles, and he didn't even know what sorrow was. It can be seen that his home is in good condition, there is no shortage of materials, and the clothes he wears every day are well-fitting and clean.

In the class, in fact, most of the students' clothes are either too small or too short to fit well, or they are deliberately bought to be larger and worn for two years.

For example, he has hardly worn new clothes since he was a child, and the clothes he wears are almost the old clothes that the children of the neighbors in the vegetable market have finished wearing.

He doesn't care whether the clothes are new or old, as long as they can wear them.

Zhao Linan, he is different from many others. He has superior conditions and excellent education. A rich person should be like Liu Haojie. He is used to being arrogant and unreasonable by his family. Either copy or hand in blank.

But Zhao Linan didn't. He didn't sleep in class, but he didn't listen carefully. Even the teacher knew that he was writing, drawing, or reading extracurricular books, but indulgently pretended not to see it, because his grades were good, from the first grade to the present. First.

Once, he even heard Teacher Chen chatting with teachers from other classes. It turned out that Zhao Linan took the final exam paper for the third grade when he was in the first grade. Full marks.

Teacher Chen said he was smart and wanted him to skip grades to be a genius, so there was no need to waste time.

But his mother said that if he didn't skip grades and wanted him to follow the same steps as other children and enjoy his childhood, he didn't need the so-called aura of genius.

He himself said not to skip grades, saying that he didn't want to see classmates who were older than him but dumber than him.

How irritating, he has so many things that others have to work hard for, he is obviously different, but he chooses to blend in with his peers. Why can he wantonly waste his talent and enjoy his childhood, because he is loved and cared for, others need to change their fate by reading, but he only needs to slowly appreciate the good and evil and the warmth and coldness of this world.

This kind of person is so annoying and annoying. But he hated it, but Wei Zhenyu couldn't help but want to believe that Zhao Linan wasn't playing tricks on him.

Who made him have so many money problems to solve now!

At 7:30, Wei Zhenyu silently said the time in his heart, and then took the fish and the big water basin home.

Zhao Linan ran out for a trip, and when he came back, dinner was ready at home.

During the meal, Zhao Linan also asked Xu Tao, Wei Zhenyu when they wanted to deliver the fish, who would they contact after the fish was delivered to the restaurant, etc.

"I just called to ask you Aunt Yurou. She said that at Jinnanxuan store in Zhu District, there are three birthday banquet tables in the banquet hall on Friday. The number of tables is small, and there are not many live fish to be used. The address is a bit far, so we can deliver fish from here. It was a hassle in the past, so the staff also arranged to eat fish, and delivered 60 catties of live fish before 9 am on Friday, and someone there will arrange it."

"The restaurant in Tian District also has a birthday banquet at noon on Saturday, with eight tables. , the dishes you ordered are of high quality, and you can send more fish, 50 catties. I will also leave this to Qin Yurou to arrange, she is familiar with several restaurants. "

Qin Yurou is solely responsible for the management of Jin Nanxuan's main store, but also supervises the managers of the other three stores. She is attentive, and she is also familiar with the catering industry now. She works extremely hard, and she knows the daily situation of several stores.

"Well. Thank you Mom." Zhao Linan thanked.

Xu Tao smiled: "Let your classmates see if you can get some perch, grouper, these steamed ones. There are many customers who like to eat them. You can ask Qin Yurou when you look back, she will take care of you for your sake. Some of your classmates."

He has already given him a special case, Xu Tao doesn't mind being more tolerant, there is no way, his own son! Occasionally getting used to it is also allowed.

"OK, I understand." Zhao Linan nodded.

His mother had hinted it so clearly, he naturally understood that it was not a waste of resources to have a relationship.

Xu Tao knew that Zhao Linan understood what she meant and didn't say much, just smiled and ate.

Zhao Weiguo began to temporarily free up his housework today. After dinner, the man sat on the sofa watching the news in a good mood, occasionally glanced at his diligent little bee-like son, and fell on the sofa comfortably.

"Oh, it's comfortable."
