The temperature in August reaches another peak.
Su Tao sat in a car without air conditioning and felt her head was hot and stuffy. She felt better after opening the car window and letting in some cool breeze.
When they returned to their room in Taoyang, Su Tao called Jiang Yu out:
"I don't have any extra rooms here at the moment, so I'll have to ask you to stay in the study for the next few days."
Jiang Yu didn't mind at all. Instead, he felt that this study was much better than the dormitory for multiple people in the army. It had large windows, let in sunlight, and was not hot.
Xue Dao, who was sleeping on his stomach, saw a stranger coming. He walked over slowly and sniffed Jiang Yu. Perhaps he felt there was no danger or hostility, so he turned around and found a place to lie down and continue sleeping.
Bai Zhima also jumped onto the dining table curiously, staring at Jiang Yu with his big round eyes.
Leng Mo Jiang Yu was unmoved by the two furry kids.
"Pack up your luggage first. I'll go next door and be back soon."
She wanted to ask Aunt Wu, who lived next door on the second floor, if it would be convenient for her to move to a higher floor.
She wanted Jiang Yu to live next to her so that she could call him in time if anything happened.
As for living together, Su Tao had never considered it. After all, Jiang Yu was an adult man, and it would be inconvenient to live together.
Of course, knowing it doesn’t count.
Fang Zhi is still a baby in her heart.
But just as she entered Aunt Wu's room, Lin Fangzhi came back after finishing his studies and work.
Seeing the unfamiliar Jiang Yu, who was about the same age as him, his alarm bells immediately went off: "Who?"
Jiang Yu has a cold personality. He has made up his mind not to interact with anyone except Su Tao. When he saw Lin Fangzhi, he did not respond. He packed up his things and disappeared into the shadows.
Lin Fangzhi watched a living person disappear in broad daylight and stood there in a daze.
After being stunned for a long time, he began to look for someone up and down the stairs.
Jiang Yu in the shadows, Xue Dao who was woken up from his sleep, Bai Zhima who was licking his paws, a man, a dog and a cat just watched him looking for someone in a panic.
Until Su Tao came back from her neighbor's house.
Seeing Lin Fangzhi leaning against the window and looking around, he asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yu appeared, leaning against the study door with an indifferent expression.
Su Tao didn't think much about it and immediately pulled Fang Zhi over to introduce them to the two of them.
Lin Fangzhi understood.
This person is here to protect Taozi.
This person is going to live with him and Peach.
This person spent more time with Taozi than he did.
He looked towards the study, where there was a single bed and the man's belongings were hanging on the wall.
He suddenly felt as if something of his had been taken away by someone else.
A stranger suddenly intervened in his and Taozi's lives.
He couldn't accept it for a while.
Then he saw Taozi teaching Jiang Yu how to use various home appliances just like when she first brought him back, and he became even more nervous.
He trembled a little as he found his small blanket and hugged it tightly in his arms, feeling that the warmth he had finally found was slowly disappearing.
He didn't dare to look at Jiang Yu, nor did he dare to listen to Taozi's voice. He shrank himself up like a thief who was afraid to show his face in the dark, and even hid in the space.
After Su Tao finished explaining this, she wanted to take the two of them out for dinner, but when she turned around, she found that Fang Zhi was gone.
She tried calling him for a long time but he didn't show up, so she thought he had gone out again for something.
After all, even if he was in the space before, he would appear quickly when he heard her calling him.
Su Tao had no choice but to give up, left a message on Fang Zhi's communicator, and took Jiang Yu to dinner.
Although Jiang Yu had heard about Taoyang's prosperity and stability a long time ago, he was still a little shocked when he saw the elderly people sitting downstairs chatting and playing chess, and the children playing in the water.
Everyone who saw Su Tao along the way greeted her, and Jiang Yu, who appeared beside her, was also warmly welcomed.
This kind of atmosphere was something Jiang Yu had never felt before.
He was a little dazed while eating dinner.
All-you-can-eat snow-white rice, fresh and crisp vegetables, and a variety of snacks and drinks.
His sister had never eaten these things.
The night before she was taken away, she was still acting coquettishly with him, saying that she wanted to smell what the food smelled like and that she would not eat it, just smell it.
He promised to climb over the wall to a warlord's house the next day and steal a handful of rice for her.
He successfully stole the rice, but his sister was taken away by someone.
Jiang Yu closed his eyes and swallowed the sob.
Because he concealed it so well, Su Tao didn't notice any emotional changes in him at all. She told him to go back and rest, and she went to hold a weekly meeting with Zhuang Wan and others.
The rent for last month's renewal came in, and Qian Rongrong smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
Su Tao took her financial report. Wow, the rent for renewal last month was exactly 1.05 million.
Including the balance, the total assets reached 2.16 million.
Zhuang Wanbao reported:
"Taoyang currently has 210 tenants, and with the ones from Panliushan, we're almost at 300. Boss, have you felt like the cafeteria isn't full lately? During peak meal times, many tenants line up to eat during peak hours."
"Look, the office building has been expanded, can we also arrange for a cafeteria?"
Su Tao: "Thanks for the encouragement, I will work hard."
Qian Lin laughed out loud: "Then I won't be polite. Boss, can you arrange a sales hall for us? Then the harvested crops can be transported directly to the sales hall, and it will be convenient for tenants to buy them in bulk."
Su Tao: "I swear, I've already arranged it. If you urge me to commit suicide again."
Ma Dapao immediately swallowed his words urging the expansion of Panliushan Hotel.
Qi Yunlan reported the security issues in the two places as usual. Except that Meng Qian, who was setting up a tent at the original place to exchange fathers, was harassed, there was still nothing unusual.
Su Tao said she understood, and then asked about Zhuang Wan's recruitment of administration and Mr. Mei's students.
Zhuang Wan sighed and said, "There are quite a lot of applicants, but I can't find a suitable one. I'll try harder and try to finalize the candidate this month."
After the meeting, Su Tao worked hard for another hour to move bricks, hoping to complete the roof of Taoli Building the next day or the day after tomorrow.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, she came down from upstairs, exhausted and ready to go home.
As soon as I walked out of the building, I saw Shi Zijin, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, in a military uniform.
The moon was dim and the stars were sparse. The night wind blew up a corner of his military uniform. Under the moonlight, he also looked a little tired, and there was even some stubble on his chin, but his back was still straight.
Su Tao suddenly felt that this person was very close to her, yet very far away.
She asked, "Are you back? Why don't you go back and rest?"
Shi Zijin smiled, but the smile seemed a little forced.
Su Tao's heart skipped a beat, and the familiar premonition made her feel that something big might have happened.
Shi Zijin is the kind of person who remains unmoved even if the sky falls.
No matter how hard, tiring or difficult it is, I will never show such a fragile expression.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
But the man just shook his head and stretched out his hand to her:
"Nothing, I'm a little tired. Can I hold you for a moment?"
