Chapter 40
Xu Haocheng wore short sleeves and placed the flowerpot in his hand at the location designated by Tang Yao.
After everything was finally moved, Xu Haocheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and quietly shook his sore arms.
"Thank you for your hard work. Go take a shower and change clothes. Come up and eat later."
When Xu Haocheng went down to change clothes, Tang Yao heard someone calling her name.
She walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down. Lu Bei was standing downstairs, holding something in his hand and giving her a slight smile.
"I brought a gift, can you come and have a meal?"
"You can come up from the stairs. You don't need to bring any gifts." Tang Yao also said with a smile.
Lu Bei walked into the stairwell to the rooftop, and Tang Yao took out her mobile phone to call Xiaoli and asked her to add two more dishes.
Xiaoli readily agreed.
Just after hanging up the phone, Lu Bei walked to the rooftop and put the things in his hands on the table.
"I brought you snacks from Daocun, which is said to be quite famous, as well as gifts that Cheng An and my brother asked me to bring." "
Thank you, you are so polite." Tang Yao said helplessly.
Cheng An has been very busy recently. The previous clothing exhibition made her stunning appearance in front of everyone again. Now many Chinese fashionable luxury clothing brands and jewelers have come to her door.
TV series and movie scripts are also being sent to her.
Cheng An is still very ambitious. In the past, he only wanted to stand high and match that person, but now he really starts to enjoy this career.
But no matter how busy she is, she will still find time to chat with Tang Yao.
The queen, who looks noble and cool in front of the screen, is more like a lively girl in front of Tang Yao. She will complain because she is too tired from work, and she will also complain about her opponent's lack of dedication.
Tang Yao almost always responded to the news. Although the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, their relationship had not faded.
Before Lu Bei came, Cheng An also said that he would come to the B&B during his next vacation.
But both of them knew that the next time might be when.
Xu Haocheng changed his clothes and went upstairs. Xiaoli had already served all their meals.
Seeing the sudden appearance of an extra person, Xu Haocheng was not too surprised, but he looked at Lu Bei with an unkind look.
Xiaoli stewed a large pot of mutton stew, and it was still steaming when it was served.
The stewed mutton is already very soft and tender. It can be separated with a gentle pinch with chopsticks. There is no smell at all. The stewed lamb chops fall off the bones. When you bite the tendon, the meat will melt in your mouth.
Paired with Xiaoli's homemade sauce, it tastes very good.
Even Lu Bei, who has never been very demanding about food, looked satisfied.
The sky was getting dark, the lights were turned on on the rooftop, and the three of them sat around and enjoyed the food.
Lu Bei and Xu Haocheng kept adding vegetables to Tang Yao's bowl as if they were competing with each other.
Tang Yao was in the center of the storm, as if unaware, only thinking about eating.
After eating, Tang Yao opened Daocun's snack box at Lu Bei's urging. Various exquisite and beautiful snacks were placed in the box, and there was a peach blossom hairpin in the middle.
Tang Yao picked up the peach blossom hairpin: "There is also a hairpin in this box. The workmanship is quite rough."
Tang Yao found that although the workmanship was rough, the wood turned out to be a very good kind of wood, more expensive than gold and silver. .
There is a blooming rose carved on the hairpin, and it is also hollowed out, but it looks like a beginner's carving, so you can't look closely.
"If you don't like it, just throw it away. I didn't pay attention. Maybe it was given by the merchant for an event." Lu Bei said on the side.
Xu Haocheng suddenly laughed out loud.
"What?" Tang Yao raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
Xu Haocheng waved his hand: "It's okay, sister."
Lu Bei glanced at him sideways, his eyes a little cold.
Although the workmanship was rough, Tang Yao still put the hairpin away.
This move made Lu Bei's mood instantly improve. Xu Haocheng curled his lips, turned around and took a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
"A bit dry, sister." Xu Haocheng said deliberately.
"Go and drink some water. Who told you to eat my snacks?" Tang Yao glared at him, then put everything away, but still stuffed another snack into Xu Haocheng's hand.
After eating, Lu Bei said goodbye.
Tang Yao brought him a pack of healthy snacks made by Xiaoli so that he could eat them when he was fine.
After Lu Bei thanked him, he slowly left with snacks in hand.
Lu Nan sent a piece of rough stone, and the green inside could be seen under the scraped outer skin. Cheng An sent a bottle of perfume. I had never seen the logo on it. It smelled of fresh vegetation and a very melodious backnote.
Tang Yao thanked Lu Nan and Cheng An on her mobile phone.
Lu Nan was working, and it took him a long time to reply to the message. The content was very simple: "This is a gift in return for the peach blossom wine."
Lu Nan did not expect that the peach blossom wine he brought back from the B&B could actually help him negotiate a business deal.
Originally, he was going to have a drink during his break in the office. As soon as he poured the wine, an unexpected customer came to visit. The company followed up on this customer for a long time. When the customer came over, he smelled the refreshing smell of wine and came immediately. interest.
Finally, when the customer left, Lu Nan reluctantly gave him a small bottle, and the business was concluded.
Lu Nan felt that Tang Yao might be the lucky star of their Lu family. After getting to know her, Lu Bei's illness recovered and the Lu family's business was booming.
Another hour had passed when Cheng An responded to the message.
"I just finished a meeting with a director. I took a script and will join the team next month. Oh, it's so annoying to be so sophisticated. You're welcome. This perfume is from my private collection and was customized by a master perfumer in France. Doesn’t it smell good?”
The two of them started chatting one by one.
When he heard Tang Yao say that there was an ugly wooden hairpin in the Daocun dim sum box, Cheng An couldn't hold it back and sent a voice full of hahahaha.
Tang Yao frowned and took the phone aside, waiting for her to finish chatting before taking it back.
"Keep your voice down, your character as a movie queen will collapse if someone hears it." Tang Yao also replied.
"I asked, do you know that Lu Bei is chasing you?"
The next second, Cheng An's direct question and answer stunned Tang Yao.
She was still spinning the ugly hairpin in her hand, and waited for a while before replying: "I know."
This time it was Cheng An's turn to be stunned, and no message came for a while.
"I thought you didn't know, but there's one thing you definitely don't know. This hairpin was not given by any merchant. It was carved by Lu Bei himself after learning from a master carving master for a week." Cheng An instantly became Gossip face.
"Is he so free?" He blurted out one sentence, causing Cheng An to laugh again.
"He is very busy, so he learned it in his spare time. I heard from Brother Lu Nan that he practices even when he gets home at night." Cheng An added.
Tang Yao's eyes fell on the hairpin in front of her, and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly.
She had already guessed that she was not a girl in her twenties after all, but an old monster who had lived in the small world for who knows how long. .
After the conversation between the two ended, Tang Yao lay on the bed, looking at the night sky outside the window, and did not fall asleep for a long time.
Early the next morning, Tang Yao opened the window. Her long hair was blown around by the wind before she had time to tie it up. She closed the hair that was flying around her ears and took a deep breath. The air in the morning was always extra special. Refreshing.
Lu Bei stood on the balcony holding coffee and saw such a scene.
"Tang Yao." Someone called her downstairs. Tang Yao lowered her head and found that it was Xiaohua, the grandson of the old man who made a bamboo basket.
He came to deliver bamboo baskets. The business of fruit baskets has been very good recently, and Tang Yao ordered another hundred.
"Has it been delivered?" Tang Yao greeted him with a smile and skillfully tied her hair into a bun. "You haven't had breakfast yet? Xiaoyue, take Xiaohua to have breakfast and pack some for Grandpa Dong back." ."
"No, no, no." Xiaohua blushed and waved her hands in refusal.
In fact, he had just delivered the fruit basket and settled the payment, and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, he would see Tang Yao when he passed by the small building. His voice was faster than his brain, and he had already shouted this that he had been thinking about for a long time. name.
After shouting, he didn't know what to say. Now that he was left to have breakfast, Xiaohua felt even more embarrassed.
Lu Bei stood there and watched the whole scene. He saw Xiaohua's blush and Tang Yao's magnanimity.
The coffee in his hand spilled out uncontrollably, what an eyesore, Lu Bei thought.
Tang Yao packed up and went downstairs to have breakfast with Xu Haocheng. The restaurant was not open to the public during breakfast, so there were many fewer people dining than at noon and evening.
Tang Yao saw the middle-aged woman who asked her to take care of her daughter yesterday in the restaurant. The short-haired girl next to her should be her daughter.
Li Yuanyuan took the initiative to go downstairs for breakfast with Zhang Ru today. After staying here for a day, her mental state seemed to be much better than before.
A faint smile began to appear on the corner of his mouth, which made Zhang Ru very happy.
Today, she made steamed buns with various fillings for breakfast. Li Yuanyuan ate four fist-sized steamed buns in one go, and also drank a cup of fragrant soy milk squeezed by herself.
While Li Yuanyuan was eating breakfast, her eyes were still looking everywhere, as if she was looking for someone.
But in the end, she didn't find the person she was looking for. She didn't know that Xiaokui next door was editing the video too late yesterday and was still sleeping now.
After Xu Haocheng stayed at the B&B for another day, he had to leave after being urged by Xu Anguo and Sun Yulan on several phone calls.
"Sister, if I go back and take care of things this time, I will go abroad directly and not come here." Xu Haocheng lowered his head, his eyes a little red.
"Go ahead, study hard and don't cause trouble." Tang Yao said.
Xu Haocheng's eyes turned redder and he stared at Tang Yao closely: "Sister, I was stupid and ignorant before, I'm sorry."
After saying that, he turned around and left. He was afraid that if he didn't leave, he would be even more reluctant to leave.
After getting in the car, Xu Haocheng discovered a bank card and note under a large bag of snacks prepared by his sister.
"The password is your birthday, save some flowers when you are abroad."
A tall man about 1.8 meters shed tears while sitting on the bus, attracting everyone's attention.
Tang Yao felt a little uncomfortable seeing her cheap brother off again, but she quickly adjusted.
