1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 440 Luo Tao’s Busy Years

Time flies!

The warm spring breeze has been blowing, and the weeping willows in Houhai have turned green. It is absolutely nonsense to say that a hundred flowers are blooming in this season.

But if your heart is full of sunshine, flowers will definitely bloom for you.

Things at home and at work have just subsided not long ago.

My wife Su Guilan and my uncle Su Ping said they were going to Qinjiacun to visit their grandparents' graves, and they couldn't stop them from doing this.

In the past, my uncle Su Ping was not in Beijing, and my mother, Su Guilan, as a niece who married outside, had no choice but to visit the old man's grave.

In the past few years, I have been in contact with the Qin family. It stands to reason that my mother, Su Guilan, should go to the Qin family village, but because of the old rules and bad customs in the old age.

The most important thing is that when the Su family was in the most difficult time, the Qin family, as the natal family, did not provide much help to the Su family.

I heard it was quite sarcastic.

That's why the two families behind have a child who hasn't moved around much in the past [-] years.

Two years ago, my cousin Qin He came to the door asking for something. Su Guilan did it for the sake of her old relatives. Of course, on the other hand, because she was doing well, she could help them.

I won’t mention the past events.

But I never thought about visiting the grave.

However, this time when uncle Su Ping came back, it was different. It was a matter of course for the nephew to go to grandma's house.

The decision-making power on this matter is entirely up to the two siblings to discuss and deal with it.

The Luo family and Luo Tao's aunt Tao Qing, including his cousin Su Bang, are far away from Su Guilan and her siblings in terms of relatives.

Let them go if they like!

This time they didn't bother to do anything. On a rest day before Qingming Festival, the siblings drove a small Jeep with gifts and paper money.

They also went back the same day.

Luo Tao didn't want to go either. More importantly, the Two Sessions would be held soon, and the meetings of the Democratic National Construction Association and the industrial and commercial circles were also held one after another.

When he is relaxed, he has to hold two meetings a day, but Luo Tao never tires of it.

If this meeting is meaningful, then let's hold it. Every time it is like a sheep and a scorpion shitting, it is endless, few practical problems are solved, and in the end, a lot of bullshit theories are created.

Luo Tao had a headache when he thought about the meeting. He couldn't refuse even if he wanted to go. Who made him pushy in the first place and tell Coal Body that he should be the leader of a private enterprise.

People like to hold up leaders who are not smelly yet.

Rejection is impossible, but from this moment on, Luo Tao really understands the truth. If you want to be the best, you must be prepared for two things, one is to be exhausted, and the other is to be beaten to death.

In short, no one who stands out will end well.

As a result, the city's leader Li repeatedly tried to make Luo Tao become one of his own, but Luo Tao politely declined and made his firm position clear.

Always be patriotic and always follow the party and the people.

This may seem like a small matter, but in fact, it is very likely that there will be a turmoil behind it.

This matter will also disappear with the wind and rain.

----------------------

"What's wrong? Weren't you fine when you went out this morning? Why are you like this when you come back? Don't say anything."

Zhu Lin saw that Luo Tao was listless when he came back and thought about the defeated rooster.

Quickly ask about the details of the meeting.

Then a family who didn't know the truth gathered around. Luo Tao looked up at them and frowned.

"Go and close the door." Luo Tao said to Zhu Lin, and Zhu Lin said to Xiao Shiyue.

This is called the big laziness ordering the little laziness, but the little laziness won't move.

Little October also wanted to be the first to listen. He pulled Luo Tao's clothes and had no intention of going. Zhu Lin had no choice but to close the door himself.

After entering the main hall of the north room, Luo Tao sat down, and Su Guilan quickly poured a cup of tea.

"You're tired, drink some water quickly, moisturize first."

Luo Tao took it and immediately drank the tea.

Seeing Zhu Lin come back, he said leisurely: "The road to reform is not easy, and someone is coming out to sing the opposite tune again."

"Why? Haven't you done very well in the past two years?" Luo Shaoyi was wearing reading glasses and holding this morning's Beijing Daily in the hand behind his back.

"Sigh...some people can't stand the sugar-coated bullets and have surrendered to those unscrupulous capitalists. What do you think this is?"

After Luo Tao was reborn, he became righteous and disdained those businessmen who relied on bribery to gain positions.

Maybe this is a good young man in society who has never been severely beaten by society!
To be more precise, it's probably because Luo Tao is a reborn person and doesn't need to do that kind of thing.

However, he had done it many times in his previous life.

Hey, this person really changes at the drop of a hat.

"No, they have disarmed and it seems that it will not hinder the reform."

Luo Tao glanced at her and said, "Ahem, your hair is long but your knowledge is short. Your imagination is too small."

I really didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so I said to Zhu Lin again, "What delicious food has been cooked in the kitchen? Bring me some quickly, I'm starving."

When she heard people saying that long hair was short of knowledge, she got a little angry and said, "I want to eat it myself, but I don't have the time."

After wiping his face, he left the north room.

Su Guilan took a look and realized that the young couple were at odds again, "Lin'er has been tired from making dumplings all afternoon. I'll serve them to you while you rest."

At the critical moment, I have to kiss my mother, "Thank you, Mom, but remember to be jealous."

"Don't worry, don't forget."

The three of them were the only ones left in the main hall of Beifang. Luo Shaoyi stared at them and asked, "What happened up there? Don't look at me carelessly."

Little October also spoke to Luo Shaoyi in a decent manner, "That's right, don't give me any sloppy looks."

Otherwise, it would be obvious at a glance that Luo Tao was not worried about what happened just now.

But before explaining this matter, Luo Tao had to do one more thing. He curled up his knuckles on Little October's forehead and banged his head.

If you don't teach him a lesson, he won't know who his father is.

All of a sudden, the little guy started crying, "Woooooooo∽∽∽Grandpa."

Luo Shaoyi didn't expect Luo Tao to do this to Xiao October, so he hurriedly pushed him away.

"What are you doing? Isn't he just learning a few sentences or something...Oh, don't cry, grandpa, help you vent your anger and beat your father up."

He was unequivocal and slapped Luo Tao several times.

He turned back to persuade Little October, "Don't cry anymore. Grandpa vented his anger on you. It's okay. Go to the kitchen and see if grandma is stealing food."

Little October is also easy to coax, as long as he doesn't feel that he is at a loss, he feels that he has made a profit.

With his little mouth pouted, he snorted at Luo Tao and left.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Luo Shaoyi asked solemnly, "Can we talk now?"

Luo Tao finally managed to squeeze out a smile on his face. This ginger is still very old. Why is he so persistent? The things above are so attractive.

He looked out the door and made sure for himself that it was not easy to spread this matter. Luo Tao whispered a concise summary of the situation to Luo Shaoyi.

Hearing this, he frowned. He was too surprised by what Luo Tao told him just now. He didn't believe it and asked doubtfully: "How did you know about this? You can't talk nonsense."

"It's absolutely true. There can't be any lies in this matter. It's no longer a secret. Just wait..."

----------------------

The Qingming Festival has just passed, and the sky has just cleared up in Beijing.

The temperature is very suitable, making it suitable for outings and sightseeing.

After eating, Luo Tao locked himself in the bedroom for more than an hour.

Seeing that he hadn't come out for a long time, Zhu Lin became impatient and waited outside.

"Bang bang bang." After knocking several times, the door with glass but no solid wood made a crisp sound. "What?"

"What else can you do? Why don't you leave? It's almost noon today."

"I know, I'll be fine."

Luo Tao and Zhu Lin exchanged hands in the bedroom and hurriedly looked in the mirror.

Looking at his handsome face, he whispered, "I still have the face to meet Jiang Dong's elders."

Opening the door, he saw Zhu Lin leaning against the wall on the left, looking at Luo Tao's outfit with expressionless eyes.

Luo Tao felt hairy when she saw him. He thought to himself that I am not Tang Monk, so why are you thinking about me all the time?

"What were you muttering about in the room just now? Why bother to Mr. Jiangdong?"

Sooner or later, this broken wall will have to be demolished and made into meat buns to see if it can still insulate the sound.

"Oh, nothing, just reciting poetry."

Zhu Lin was puzzled, and Luo Tao urged her to go out.

"Aren't you in a hurry? Let's go."

Zhu Lin pushed Luo Tao's hands away, "You don't need to push me, I will leave on my own."

After walking down the steps, Zhu Lin asked, "Are you going to go like this, without a suit?"

Luo Tao took a serious look at his casual clothes and the inner shoes on his feet. He felt that they were nothing.

"What? It feels right to me, is it okay?"

Zhu Lin shrugged and said speechless, "As long as you like it."

What's wrong with this person, "By the way, the clothes you bring must be simple and plain, don't look like a rich lady, and little October's clothes shouldn't be too good."

"I know, you said this at least eight hundred times last night."

What Zhu Lin was wearing today was plain enough. Luo Tao was very satisfied and nodded.

"By the way, should we bring more cash? Are there any other urgent matters?" Zhu Lin took Luo Tao's hand and asked thoughtfully.

"You are in charge of the money at home, and you can take care of this matter! I'll go see the girl."

Zhu Lin looked at Luo Tao's back as he turned into the east courtyard, "Ahem, this person..."

After Luo Tao passed the Moon Gate, he saw his mother, Su Guilan, and Sister He coaxing the little girl to play.

"Mom, what are you busy with?"

"Hey, you're bald and blind, can't you see?"

This mouth was not forgiving at all, and Luo Tao smiled along with him, "Mom, look at what you said, isn't this far away? Oh, I'm picking out the date seeds."

The Luo family now has two jujube trees, which have been well taken care of in the past two years, but they have produced a lot of jujubes. It would be a lie to say that they can't finish them all.

I ate part of it myself and gave part to relatives and friends. Naturally, I also left some dried dates.

Every year I eat dates sent by fellow villagers in Gaojiawan, Western Shaanxi Province. I feel happy eating them, but feel very sorry for myself.

People are thinking about me every year, and we have nothing to give to them. We can only give a little money to the village primary school every year, hoping that the children there can live a better life.

Luo Tao misses having a full meal and books.

"..."

It's better to have enough food and clothing by yourself, and let the two little guys at home know that the food obtained through hard work is very delicious.

"Well, by the way, how are you preparing? ...Buy more things. Don't favor one family over another. ...Remember to say hello to them for me."

Su Guilan knew that this time her son was going to Shazihe Commune in Huai County, the place where he went to the countryside to jump in the queue.

Although she couldn't elaborate on the situation at that time, Su Guilan was still very grateful to the villagers there who took care of and disciplined her son for more than three years.

"Hehehe, don't worry, I will definitely bring your greetings to them." Zixia ignored her when she saw the girl was playing with Pomegranate under the verandah.

Smiling and saying: "Mom, Sister He, you have been working so hard these days..."

Sister He smiled and nodded without saying anything, but Su Guilan was different, "There is no need for you to remind me, my granddaughter will be taken with me if I don't take her with me. ... I'll go as soon as the things are almost ready..."

"Hey!"

Luo Tao left quietly again, fearing that the girl would see him and make her burst into tears.

After entering the courtyard, Zhu Lin waved, "What's the matter?"

She had a strange look on her face, felt shy for a moment, and said something very unhappy, "Li Su called just now and said that you should go to her place when you go. She has something for you to help carry over."

Luo Tao's expression was very solemn, and he treated it as a trivial matter and had nothing to do with him, "Oh, I understand."

Seeing Zhu Lin's expression, Luo Tao quickly changed the subject, "What about that? When will Lezi and the others arrive?"

"almost."

Ten minutes later, the family of three quietly got into the newly purchased Santana and left the depths of flowers, followed by two small jeeps.

"Let's go to Shuimu Tsinghua High School first."

"okay!"

This new car has been played by Xu Le since he bought it. He is also bold enough to drive on any bad road. The reason is that he could not let go of the red car he drove a while ago.

Now that Luo Tao has changed his car to this long-headed Santana, he doesn't feel bad at all.

Driving a red car is like driving a rocking car. He doesn't dare to be careless at all. Driving this car is like driving an icebreaker. The greater the resistance, the greater the motivation.

When I arrived at Shuimu Tsinghua High School, I said hello to the guard.

"Hello comrade, please excuse me, I want to find Mr. Li Su from your school, I have something to do."

This comrade is much younger. He is definitely not an uncle or anything like that. He is very cultivated and cultured.

A place of water and soil can support a person.

He looked at Luo Tao for a few times, felt very unconfident, and said politely: "Hey, why do you look familiar to me? Have you done this in school before?"

This person is not professional at all. He is just making random calls.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not a teacher, and I've never worked here. I just want to ask you, Li..."

"Well, she's not here." The body that had stood up followed his gesture and sat down again.

But Luo Tao outside the window was very anxious. What happened to him, "No, I'm looking for Teacher Li Su who teaches Chinese language class for the first year of high school. She lives in Xicheng..."

He was very impatient when he saw that Luo Tao knew Teacher Li Su’s home address, “Young man, don’t think that you can do whatever you want by driving a car.

This teacher Li Su is a good teacher in our school... Let me tell you that the people chasing her can be lined up from here to Chang'an Street. Just wake up and stop worrying about..."

Why are these lines so familiar? This man can't be the son of the old man who always wants a wife, right?

"not me……"

He quickly interrupted Luo Tao's words, stood up again and said, "I know you are not here to pursue Teacher Li."

Luo Tao thought to himself that this person finally had an idea. Besides, after talking about our relationship with Li Su, why should we pursue it? It's just a matter of words.

"Yes, I have something to ask her about...please tell her, it's urgent..."

He changed his face in an instant, like a face-changing actor. He looked at Luo Tao and snorted coldly, "Huh, come on, you are the third one today. I'm confused. Is this all you want? Don't you mind?" Tired, I feel tired."

Luo Tao looked at him so angry that his teeth ached, "Hurry up and call her, I have a bad temper."

Bang!Bang!Bang!
He patted the window a few times and said, "What do you want to do? You..."

Luo Tao gave him a look, "My surname is Luo."

He was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and made a huffing noise without knowing what to turn over.

Luo Tao was so angry when he met such a person, but he couldn't go in and beat him up, so he knocked on the window a few times, "What?"
