After a long silence, Shi Zijin suddenly said, "I'm sorry."
Su Tao rubbed her eyes and said, "You don't have to say sorry. I'll call Sister Pei later and apologize to her."
Pei Dong hated Gu Mingchi as much as he cared about his subordinates.
Su Tao really didn't dare to make this call.
Shi Zijin saw her embarrassment and said, "I'll go talk to her. I happen to have something to ask her as well."
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Su Tao received a call from Pei Dong.
"Major General Shi has already told me, you can do whatever you want, but you can't meet him. I will give you a military dog. It has been trained and its sense of smell has evolved. It is very familiar with Gu Mingchi's scent and will bark if he gets within a hundred meters. Su Tao, Major General Shi and I care about you very much. We don't want anything to happen to you, and we hope you can be careful."
This was the first time Su Tao heard her talk so much. Her nose suddenly felt a little sore, and she nodded while holding the communicator:
"Thank you, Sister Pei. I'm sorry, Sister Pei."
Pei Dong's heart softened immediately: "It's okay, the grudge is just between him and me, it has nothing to do with you."
Su Tao rubbed her nose and said sullenly:
"Sister Pei, when will you come back to live here? I haven't seen you for a long time."
"They've already started building a protective wall in the west district. I'm worried about an invasion by evolved zombies, so I can't leave for a while."
"Okay, then be careful."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Zijin said:
"This military dog is a retired military dog left by Pei Dong's grandfather. It's sixteen years old. Pei Dong loves it very much and wanted to keep it for his last few years. Now that you need it, I sent it to you without hesitation."
Su Tao sniffed: "She didn't mention Duobaobei at all on the phone, what a weird woman."
Shi Zijin smiled: "Go to bed early."
Su Tao took two steps and suddenly turned back: "Will we still have the cold war tomorrow?"
"Do you want to?"
"I think you haven't agreed to take me with you yet, but you keep talking to me, so I can't get cold feet."
Shi Zijin found this funny remark amusing: "How about I take the initiative to ask for peace?"
Su Tao's eyes lit up: "Are you agreeing?"
"You're overthinking it. I need to think about it again. This is just a temporary reconciliation."
Su Tao became depressed again: "Then I reject your initiative to make peace."
Shi Zijin didn't care: "I am asking for peace unilaterally, you have the right to refuse. Now I will take you to the door of the room, let's go, Miss."
Su Tao awkwardly came to the door and chased him away:
"Go away. Don't message me or talk to me tomorrow. Got it?"
His answer was Shi Zijin's good night.
The next day, Su Tao woke up in a sweat, got out of bed and took a shower.
When she came out, she frowned and looked out the window. It was not even eight o'clock yet and the sun was already incredibly bright, like a big light bulb, making it impossible to open your eyes. It was so hot and dry.
It's already so hot in May. Won't it be even hotter when she travels with the pioneer army?
The cats meowed thirstily and ran over to rub her legs frantically. Su Tao quickly filled their empty water bowls.
Then I took the last bit of pork strips out of the refrigerator to thaw, cut them into small pieces and fed them to them.
After feeding Heizhima, he was still crying, as if calling "Mom" again, and he lay on the ground with his belly exposed and acted coquettishly.
Bai Zhima held her legs and licked her madly, and his big round eyes almost showed the pitiful word "hungry" written on them.
Su Tao wanted to shout for help, and took out the goat milk to try to negotiate:
"Good boy, can you drink some milk? Mommy is really out of meat."
Bai Zhima came closer and sniffed, but was not interested. He continued to hold her legs and wailed, like a poor creature that had no mother.
The negotiation was ineffective, so Su Tao compromised.
It seems that she needs to get some contribution points to exchange for some meat to fill their stomachs.
Moreover, the old military dog was delivered immediately, and he also loved to eat meat.
Three mouths.
Su Tao carried the cat downstairs, ready to take it to the office building. As soon as she reached the second floor, she heard people arguing. It looked quite fierce, and almost all the residents on the second and third floors joined in the fight.
Some of the tenants who she thought were very polite and honest were arguing so hard that their faces turned red and their necks became angry.
Only a pair of sisters stood aside and did not participate.
Su Tao remembered them. They were the cautious pair of sisters that Zhuang Wan had told her about who asked if they could rent a one-bedroom apartment for just one month because of the negative news about Taoyang. She couldn't remember their names.
She asked the two sisters, "What are you arguing about?"
The one who answered her was her younger sister, who looked only in her teens. She looked down at everyone and said, "We don't know either. We just got here."
When the sisters saw the two cats in Su Tao's arms, their eyes lit up at the same time and they wanted to touch them, but they didn't move yet.
Heizhima suddenly bared his teeth at the two of them and made a warning gurgling sound in his throat.
Bai Zhima dived into Su Tao's arms, hugged her neck with his little paws, and didn't dare to move.
The two sisters were so scared that they immediately took a step back.
Su Tao thought the two cats were resisting strangers, so she comforted them and asked them to stand further away, and they calmed down.
She stopped and listened to the quarrel for a while and found that it was just because of a bag of unclaimed garbage.
It's so hot and everyone is so angry.
She didn't care anymore, as long as there was no fighting, and went to the office with the cat.
When Zhuang Wan heard this, she suddenly remembered:
"Everyone's been really angry lately. There were two arguments in Building 1, and a tenant even insisted on asking me to notarize the documents. When I went, I found out that someone upstairs had fallen clothes and covered the balcony of a tenant downstairs. They had a fight over such a small thing."
Su Tao was speechless: "Wait a few days and install central air conditioning to calm their anger."
Black Sesame and White Sesame returned to normal and ran to stick to Zhuang Wan, opening their mouths to ask for food.
Aunt Qi came to report on her work just in time. The two kids seemed to know that she was the one who delivered the meat last time, and they immediately ran over and stuck to Aunt Qi.
Zhuang Wanxiao asked Su Tao: "You abused them, they were like starving ghosts."
Su Yao told her that he had finished eating the meat, feeling helpless.
Zhuang Wan heard this and said, "I have a lot of contribution points. You can come to me. I'm living and eating in Taoyang now, so I can't spend my contribution points. My husband and my son Hu Zi were compensated with a lot of contribution points when they left. I haven't spent much. I'll give them all if you want."
Su Tao waved her hands quickly: "I don't want your money for nothing. If I do, I won't be able to sleep. You can use contribution points to deduct your rent in the future."
Zhuang Wan thought about it and agreed: "I'll give you 2,000 contribution points for the 60,000 federal coins."
"Sister, you can't be so extravagant. According to the market price of 60,000, the maximum deduction is 1,500. Just give me 1,500, and don't take any more."
A pound of pork is only about 20 contribution points, which can feed three mouths for a long time.
The two of them worked for a while, finalizing the list of remaining vacant houses and granting permission to the temporary workers of the Grain Administration Bureau couple.
The temporary worker was dumbfounded when he saw the open door.
But maybe the couple paid enough, so the temporary worker endured for half a minute and then started cleaning without complaint.
After dinner, Pei Dong sent someone to drive the military dog over.
Su Tao looked expectantly, and soon saw someone leading a big black dog down.
