There were bright lights ahead, and Ding Hao told Meng Tao: That is the Qianjin Steel Plant, we are here.

Qianjin Steel Plant is a national key enterprise. It covers a vast area and the factory area extends into the valley over there. Their factory gate is uniquely designed and looks tall and majestic from a distance, which is very spectacular.

Such large factories with thousands of employees usually have complete supporting facilities in the family living area. There are not only guesthouses, but also department stores, hospitals, bathhouses, primary and secondary schools, kindergartens, etc. There is even a police station to maintain public order.

So Meng Tao was not worried that she would end up wandering the streets if she couldn't find Tian Zhigao.

The car drove into the factory gate, and Shen Yu said to Ding Hao: "Go directly to the steel factory guesthouse."

Meng Zhehan looked at him, and Shen Yu said, "What time is it now? Even if you are working the night shift, it is not easy to find someone. Comrade Meng Taohua is tired from the journey, so you should rest tonight. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

The problem is that he is tired and doesn't want to walk around the factory. This is not a small place.

Meng Zhehan thought it made sense: "That's fine. I don't have classes tomorrow morning, so I can stay here tonight and accompany Taohua to visit her relatives tomorrow. But why let her stay in a guesthouse? She's a girl, can't she live in your house? Your house is so spacious, it's just you and your son, it's not like you don't have any room."

Shen Yu: "We don't have a mistress in our house. It's not appropriate for a strange girl to suddenly move in."

Meng Zhehan paused and nodded: "I didn't think it through."

The car went straight along the main road inside the factory.

When they arrived at the guesthouse, Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan got out of the car and took Meng Tao in to register for accommodation. Meng Zhehan and Meng Tao also called Zhang Guoqing together to tell him to focus on his classes tomorrow and not to come over.

Two male gods over 1.80 meters tall walked in front, and Meng Tao followed behind. Looking at her own figure of no more than 1.58 meters tall wearing thin-soled cloth shoes, no matter how strong her heart was, she could not help but feel inferior at this moment. The gap was too big.

After Shen Yu finished the formalities, Meng Zhehan and Meng Tao also called Zhang Guoqing. He also wanted to call a few other people. Shen Yu was impatient to wait for him, so he picked up Meng Tao's travel bag and took her upstairs to find a room first.

Meng Tao was arranged to do this without any hesitation and could only accept it with gratitude. She followed her "brother with the same surname" Meng Zhehan's friend to the third floor and watched him use the key to open the door of the second room. It was a large single room with wooden floors, a large, clean, white bed, a desk, a sofa, a separate bathroom, and hot water for free use. There were treetops like clouds in front of the glass windows, and the environment was quiet and peaceful. In that era, this was definitely the treatment of a senior cadre.

This was all thanks to Meng Zhehan's friend. Meng Tao said to Shen Yu sincerely, "Thank you."

Shen Yu looked at Meng Tao straight in the eye. He didn't know how this little girl got tanned, but she was so tanned that she looked like she just came back from Africa. Her facial features were delicate and her eyes were nice, clear and lively. When they were talking in the car, she seemed kind and innocent, but now that they were face to face, she looked unpredictable as her eyes moved and her long eyelashes fluttered.

She was dressed very simply, her hair was dry and cut short, all curled up like a cat with its fur frizzed out, and she had a small braid on top of her head, which gave her a very rustic feel.

The one who could make Meng Zhehan willingly acknowledge her as his sister and take on so much help must be more than the kinship that existed five hundred years ago. Who was Meng Zhehan? The sisters in the capital didn't want to acknowledge her.

This little girl is indeed different.

Shen Yu nodded to Meng Tao: "We are a family, you're welcome."

Meng Tao: “…”

His last name is Meng, too? Were they from the same family five hundred years ago? Well, nowadays, all the people with the last name Meng are so tall and beautiful. She is the one who is lagging behind.

Meng Tao sat under the window, looking at the trees outside and sighing at her good luck. Whenever she went out, she could meet two "family members" who were not related by blood. She was so grateful that they took such good care of her.

Then I took out my change of clothes and went into the bathroom to enjoy a hot shower.

Guest houses and hotels all have small soaps, shampoo, combs, toothpaste and toothbrushes for guests. There are no such things in the countryside and no running water. Meng Tao has been feeling depressed for several days. Now she can wash as much as she wants, from head to toe. She stays in the bathroom and doesn't want to come out. It's comfortable enough, but her stomach is growling and she feels a little dizzy. What's going on? Suddenly she remembered that she didn't eat lunch or dinner on the train. She was so hungry that her blood sugar was low!

After drying her hair and body, she put on her clothes and went out to take out the dry food in her travel bag. There were still two pancakes left that Aunt Yang had made. She planned to soak them in hot water for a meal. Just as she was about to pour hot water from the thermos, someone knocked on the door. Meng Tao went to open the door. A fat aunt in a white apron came in with a tray. On the tray was a bowl of hot soup noodles with slices of lean meat and sprinkled with green onions. The aroma was fragrant. The fat aunt smiled and said:

"Is this Miss Meng? This is your pork bone noodle soup. Eat it while it's hot."

Meng Tao was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had never asked for noodles. Could it be that in this era, guesthouses would deliver food by themselves? Of course it would be nice to have hot soup noodles. What was she hesitating about? Meng Tao quickly took it and said, "Thank you so much, Auntie, your service is really thoughtful."

The fat lady smiled and said, "Of course I should. Comrade Shen asked me to make this for you. He said that you were late for dinner because you took the train here, so he asked me to make something soft and warm. I've been stewing these pork bones for quite some time. They're delicious!"

Meng Tao was stunned. Comrade Shen? Who is that? Never mind. I'm starving. I'll eat first. If I send the wrong thing, I'll just have to pay for it.

Meng Tao ate a bowl of meat and bone noodle soup happily, washed the bowl and put it on the table. She waited for a long time, but no one came to her to compensate for the noodles. It was getting late, so she brushed her teeth, closed and locked the doors and windows, then turned off the lights and went to bed, actually entering her sea of ​​clouds space.

This is the name she gave to the space. Except for a large stone platform and two pine trees, the vast sea of ​​clouds is all around. Isn't it the sea of ​​clouds space? Meng Tao thought about it and thought that this place might be where some immortal meditated and practiced the mind method. It was really quiet and peaceful, without any disturbance, and even a bird couldn't fly over.

Meng Tao didn't know how to practice meditation. When she came in, she just sat on the platform, looking at the clouds rising and falling, letting her imagination run wild.

It is certain that space is good for the body. Every time she goes out, she feels in very good condition, her body is light, her spirit is full and she is full of strength.

The skin also changes, gradually becoming delicate and white.

Of course, she wasn't able to come in many times. During the two nights she stayed with Zhou Cuiling, she only dared to wake up in the middle of the night and sneak in once while Zhou Cuiling was asleep.

This is only the third time, so her changes are not that big. Only she knows it, and others haven't noticed it yet.

Meng Tao took an orange from the stone platform, peeled it and ate it. It tasted really good. When she had more money, she would buy some other fruits and put them in to improve the taste. It would be even more beautiful if fruits could be grown in the cracks of the rocks. She could pick them whenever she wanted to eat them.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly and carefully lay down on the edge of the stone platform and looked into the cracks in the stones below. She picked up two peach pits from the peach forest at the entrance of the village, plucked three wild chrysanthemums, and asked Zhou Cuiling's mother for some pumpkin, cucumber, tomato, pepper and cabbage seeds. She threw them all down, not knowing if they would grow.

Not to mention that her seeds are of low quality and ordinary, these are all you can find in the countryside.

Corn, barley, rice and other grain seeds would be good, but they are managed by the production team and she cannot get them. Besides, her space is too small to grow them.
