Chapter 111

Aunt Wang's eyes lit up: "The guy in my family knows how to do it, so I'll leave it to my family to do it for you. The handwork and materials are not too expensive!"

"Did you do this professionally?"

"What profession? Oh, of course they specialize in this! We are neighbors now, and we will live together for the rest of our lives. Can we still lie to you? Don't worry, I will help you make the house beautiful and brand new Brand-new!"

"OK."

Aunt Zhong next to him hurriedly took Meng Tao's hand: "Do you want to tidy up the yard? These vines are all dead, let my eldest son help you tear them off?"

Aunt Wang pushed her away: "What are you talking about? How can the two families do this little work? Our family does it all!"

"Hey, why are you doing this? It's unreasonable?" Aunt Zhong patted Aunt Wang back hard and said angrily.

The two were about to quarrel, and Aunt Zhao started a fight: "Okay, please calm down, this is someone else's house. The little girl didn't say that she would tear up these vines. Besides, why are these vines not dead?" Want to tear it off? Wouldn’t it be nice to keep it in bloom next spring? You forgot about your family, Zhong Miaomiao, who spends all day moving ladders and climbing walls to cut old man Jia’s flowers and put them in vases.”

"I want you to worry about it, talkative bitch!" Aunt Zhong gave Aunt Zhao a blank look, then walked away.

"Who is a talkative woman? Am I wrong to tell the truth? From the Zhong family, please explain clearly to me!" Aunt Zhao chased after her.

Meng Tao: "..."

The neighbors don't seem to be very neighborly and friendly. She is a newcomer, so she can only watch and get along carefully.

Aunt Wang rushed home excitedly and pulled her husband over. He was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance. Meng Tao called him "Uncle Wang", and the man nodded in agreement. Aunt."

Uncle Wang works in the construction team, so he can do things like painting walls and changing ceilings. It doesn’t require much technical knowledge, and it’s easy to find and buy materials. After the discussion, Meng Tao gave him the money for the materials. Uncle Wang works in his spare time, so it will take three or four days to finish all the houses in the yard.Meng Tao asked him to do it slowly, what she wanted was quality, and she was not in a hurry to move in.

Because painting the walls will make the ground dirty, Meng Tao doesn't clean the yard anymore, and she doesn't come here often. After the walls are painted, Aunt Wang will clean up the house, the outside and the yard, but she says not to touch the flower pots , and vine flower stands, just clean up the dead branches and leaves, and ensure that the ground is clean and tidy, and you don’t need to worry about the rest.

The key to the courtyard door was handed over to the Wang family and the couple, and it was agreed that Meng Tao would come to check and accept it a week later, and then pay the wages.

Meng Tao counted and registered the flower pots and other movable rockery tables and benches in the yard one by one, and asked Aunt Wang to close the door when she came in and out.

Walking on the street, Meng Tao thought to herself that she still had to spend money to stay in a hotel. Fortunately, she was clever enough to change the date of the certificate and still use it to register for accommodation.

There is a state-owned hotel on Limin Street. Meng Tao checked in and went out for dinner. She went to the restaurant at noon, ordered a bowl of braised noodles, and took out the lunch box. It was the leftover braised pork at noon. The waiter helped her Send it to the kitchen to heat up, and dinner is over like this.

Seeing that it was still early, Meng Tao covered his head and face with a big scarf and went shopping in the black market.

Unexpectedly, he met Ma Fengnian again.

Ma Fengnian was standing at a booth talking to people, dancing and strutting, he was completely different from the downcast image he had last time.

Meng Tao looked at the items on both sides first, they were all coarse grains, fine grains, dried vegetables, cloth and clothes, nothing special, seeing that Ma Fengnian had finished talking with someone, he walked over and shouted: "Master Ma. "

Ma Fengnian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said pleasantly: "Miss Tao?"

The last time Meng Tao dealt with him, the scarf was tightly covered, only his nose and eyes were exposed, but he didn't change his voice on purpose, so he remembered that his stature was about the same.

"Yes, it's me." Meng Tao asked, "What good things did Master Ma bring this time?"

Ma Fengnian hurriedly waved his hands: "I haven't... It's my two cousins, they are over there. They have caught wild boars, a litter of wild boars! There is a lot of meat, and they can't be sold all at once in the countryside, but someone wants to collect them all." , but the price given was too low, so I asked them to come over with my car, and it would be nice if I could sell them for a little more money."

"Is it sold out?"

"It's half sold, so it's easy to sell! Miss Tao, do you want it? I'll ask them to give you less money?"

"No, I don't accept raw meat."

"Then why don't you cut some and go back to eat? Ten catties and twenty catties... It's okay if you don't charge money!"

Ma Fengnian waved his hand generously, if it wasn't for Miss Tao last time, he would have been miserable, not only would he have to pay a large sum of money, but he might even lose his job, what is sending ten catties and twenty catties of wild boar meat to him?What's more, my cousin will definitely not charge him too much money.

Meng Tao shook her head: "Thank you, I still have wild boar meat at home. I just saw you here and thought you had something good."

"The mountain specialties you want are available. Recently, many people have come to ask me if I will accept them, but I am worried that Miss Tao will not contact you so soon, so I dare not accept them."

"If you receive the goods now, what can you receive?"

"In addition to the mushroom fungus and walnuts from last time, there are also cured chicken and duck, dried rabbits, roe deer, other dried vegetables, dried beans, sweet potato vermicelli and potato vermicelli made in the countryside... I wonder if you want this?"

"If you are in good condition, you will."

"Of course it must be of good quality. The supply and marketing cooperatives also accept this, but the price is low. The villagers want me to accept it."

"Then you can take it. We'll take a batch of special mountain goods, and they'll be shipped over next Friday. They'll be put back in the original warehouse. I'll pick them up."

"Hey, good!" Ma Fengnian said happily.

Meng Tao remembered: "Last time you said you have a tea garden and tea factory?"

"Yes, the Jinling tea garden is famous. In the old days, it was a tribute to the court—my wife's uncle works in the tea factory."

"Then ask for some [-]-[-] catties of tea and try it out. Ask for premium or first-class tea."

"Row!"

Meng Tao took out 200 yuan from his schoolbag and handed it to Ma Fengnian as a deposit. Ma Fengnian accepted it with a smile. He actually believed in "Miss Tao", but of course it would be better to have a deposit.

In order not to attract the attention of those around them, the two quickly walked away.

Before leaving the black market, Meng Tao went to a certain stall to exchange some cigarette tickets, but there were no cigarette tickets in the pile of tickets that Shen Yu gave her.

Going back to Xingyang County tomorrow, I want to buy a few packs of good cigarettes for Zhang Fu. This time, I will buy Daqianmen to make him happy. I only said that I will come to Mengzhou for a day, but it turns out that I can’t go back. He wants to buy food again It is very hard to accompany and take care of the two wounded.

The next morning, Meng Tao had breakfast at the state-run restaurant, seeing that he had plenty of time, he walked to the bus station, passed the post office, stopped and thought about it, and decided to go in and give Shen Yu a call.

Nearly ten o'clock, she dialed the number given by Shen Yu in the hospital doctor's duty room last time.

In the provincial capital, Shen Yu was sitting at his desk looking through documents when the phone rang, and he reached out to pick up the receiver, with a business-like voice, cold and indifferent: "Who is it? Please tell me."

It was as if hearing the voice of nature in my ears: "I am Meng Taohua."

"Peach Blossom!"

Shen Yu's heart trembled, he subconsciously looked at the closed office door, a smile appeared on his handsome but cold face: This girl finally has a little conscience, she called early in the morning to comfort him!

Last night I dreamed of Peach Blossom, and she changed her face with make-up again. No matter what the change, he could still recognize it at a glance. It was his little cat with fried hair. It was ugly at first glance, but it was so cute, naughty and cunning, and could even coax others. Running away, running farther and farther, the place she ran was like a moat, and he couldn't catch up, no matter how much he called her, he didn't look back, and he woke up feeling disappointed for a while, even though it was a dream, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, he received a call from Taohua, making him happy: "Taohua! How are you? Where are you now? What are you doing?"

"I'm good, how about you?" Meng Tao felt Shen Yu's joy, and also greeted him.

"Hello! You haven't answered me yet, where are you?"

"I'm in Mengzhou."

"What are you doing in Mengzhou? Are you disobedient again?"

Meng Tao knew what Shen Yu meant by "disobedient", and replied: "I haven't. I just come and have a look, and if I find something suitable, I'll buy some."

"Have you bought it?"

"Bought it."

"Is there enough money?"

"enough."

"Pay attention to safety, tell me immediately if something happens, don't try to be brave, you know?"

"understood."

After a pause, Meng Tao continued: "Shen Yu, the gifts you gave me are too many and expensive, and the gift you gave to Taurus is also true. We're afraid we won't be able to pay it back."

"Stupid words again. We are lovers, and we are in love. I will accept everything you give me, and you can't refuse what I give you. As for the Taurus, I don't know much about it. You figure it out and do it for me." Just a thought, okay?"

"I don't seem to have given you anything."

"Give it away, it's a little short, remember to replenish it to me in the future."

"Okay, if you say that, then I'll be impolite? Thank you for my brother Taurus."

Shen Yu was speechless, bad girl, did you deliberately try to anger him?

But the mood was surprisingly good: "I just sent you three letters, but you probably haven't received them yet. You're not in the village, what should you do?"

Meng Tao: "???"

What's the big deal with your big brother, you have to write three letters in a row to finish the story?
"Zhou Cuiling or Captain Bao will keep it for me."

"Well, remember to write a letter next time you send a list, otherwise I will keep writing to you if I don't understand!"

Meng Tao: "..."

"Peach blossom?"

"Ah, here we are."

"Are you at the Post Office?"

"Yeah, I'm going back to the county seat. When I passed the post office, I thought of you and ran in to give you a call."

"It will always be like this in the future. Think of me a lot. When you see the post office, you must call me, you know?" Shen Yu smiled, praised and encouraged him, and the post office became inexplicably kinder in his heart: his girl, when she saw the post office, she would call me. I miss him even more, and I can't help but want to call him, how can I not be kind?
Meng Tao thought brokenly: I also saw the post office yesterday, and I only called today when I have time.I'm actually just, I just want to tell you that you should be careful when giving gifts, don't give them too expensive all at once, you have to consider whether people can bear it, and... what happened to my little money?
