Having gone to bed early the night before, Meng Tao woke up before five o'clock the next day. Looking at the morning light coming in through the curtains, she got up, went to the bathroom to wash up, and slipped into the space.

After sitting in the middle of the stone platform and meditating for a while, she went to check the cracks in the rocks and was surprised to find two green saplings growing near the pine tree!

That's a peach tree!

Meng Tao was very happy. She looked around and discovered a secret: some of the leaning pine branches were still very close to the stone platform, and those lush green pine needles would condense into a few crystal clear dewdrops from time to time in the rolling clouds. The dewdrops fell, and some dripped into the cracks in the stones, which happened to be where she threw the peach pit. In other words, none of the other seeds moved, and only the peach tree sprouted and grew first, most likely because it was soaked by the dewdrops from the pine branches.

The dew condensed on the pine branches seems to promote growth and perhaps has other effects. The drops look clean and transparent and should taste very good.

Meng Tao planned to go out and find a long bamboo pole, no, to bring in a dozen or so bamboo poles to build a fence - the peach trees had already emerged, and the other melons, beans, and tomatoes would surely grow out one after another. She had to build a frame early to allow them to climb onto the stone platform. She imagined what it would be like to see the stone platform full of melons and fruits in the future. It would be so beautiful.

In addition, she had to think of a way to collect the dew dripping from the pine needles. There was no legendary spiritual spring in the space, but it was nice to drink a cup of dew occasionally, as it was also the essence of heaven and earth.

When I came out of the space, it was already bright outside. The morning sunlight reflected on the curtains, like dots of gold. It was another sunny day.

Meng Tao sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a while, then decided to take the special bus from the steel plant to the city center and wander around the city for a day.

Yesterday she visited all the places she could visit in the factory. It was boring to stay in the guesthouse, and Tian Zhigao would come to harass her, so she might as well go out and play. The provincial capital of City D was a beautiful city. She had been here several times in her previous life and was not unfamiliar with it. She wanted to see what it looked like in the 1970s.

Meng Tao left without delay, picked up her schoolbag and slung it over her shoulder, changed her shoes and went out. When she saw the old-fashioned black cloth shoes and baggy trouser legs on her feet, she felt disgusted in her heart: Take your time, I don’t have any money now, this rustic image must be changed eventually.

I went to the canteen first and got a bowl of sweet bean juice and a big meat bun from Auntie Pang. I ate quickly and rushed to catch the bus.

Walking forward along the cement road, she suddenly saw Shen Yu coming from the other end. He was still very far away, so there was no time to say hello. Meng Tao took a few quick steps and reached a crossroads. She quickly turned right and entered another boulevard. Using the holly branches that were taller than her as cover, she quickly ran forward.

Shen Yu: “…”

This girl is avoiding him? Why? She clearly left a note. When Meng Zhehan was not here, was she under his control?

After a pause, Shen Yu followed with his long legs. How fast could such a small person run? He wanted to see what she wanted to do.

When Meng Tao was getting on the bus, someone grabbed her collar and pulled her down.

She turned around and glared at him. Seeing that it was Shen Yu, she calmed down a little, straightened her clothes, and asked in a bad tone, "What's the matter with you?"

Can't you just yell? You have to grab him like this, in public, who doesn't have self-respect? It's embarrassing, okay?

Shen Yu looked at her somewhat embarrassed appearance, with her messy hair and angry face, she looked even more like a cat with its fur standing on end. He pursed his thin lips and almost couldn't help laughing.

People who are familiar with him say that he is dull and boring. Meng Zhehan even described him as an emotionless ice cube because he cannot be moved by any sentimental occasions and he won't laugh even when watching comedy movies. In fact, it's not that he can't laugh, but that he really doesn't find it funny.

This Meng Taohua was an exception. For some reason, some of her words and actions always made him want to laugh uncontrollably.

"Do you know where this car is going? Just get on it?" Shen Yu said.

What do you care? Meng Tao complained in her heart, and replied: "I asked, it's going to the city, I want to go shopping in the department store."

“There is also a department store in the factory.”

"I know, but I want to see the city. I recognize the bus that goes to the Qianjin Steel Plant, and I'll take the bus back then."

"There's a sign on the front of this car, and I can recognize the words on it."

"The steel plant's buses go not only to the city, but also to other places. Can you recognize all the brands? What if you get on the wrong bus?"

Meng Tao gritted her teeth. Are the people in the city so contemptuous of her? Do they really think she is illiterate? "I recognize the brands of these cars."

Shen Yu looked around and pointed at the slogan high up: "Read it once."

“Safety, efficiency and quality.”

Meng Tao directly took out the red book that Zhou Cuiling gave her from her bag and shook it at him: "Do you want me to read the whole book to you?"

Shen Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "The provincial capital is quite big for you, and the terrain is complicated. If you don't have anyone to accompany you, what if you get lost?"

“I won’t lose it!”

Meng Tao almost said to Shen Yu: "It has nothing to do with you if it is lost."

Shen Yu: "Your brother asked me to keep an eye on you. Don't run around today, wait for him to come tomorrow..."

"I don't have a brother!"

Seeing that the car had many people on it and was about to drive away, Meng Tao became anxious and turned his face away from them.

"How can there be no brother? The brother from five hundred years ago is still a brother." Shen Yu said slowly.

Meng Tao: “…”

What a clever way of saying it, she was speechless.

If we miss this train, we will have to wait two hours. Meng Tao looked around and suddenly pointed to the distance and said to Shen Yu: "That looks like Director Shen? He waved over here. Is he calling you?"

Shen Yu glanced in the direction she pointed, and Meng Tao took the opportunity to jump away and ran onto the bus. The conductor girl looked at her with a smile while holding the ticket clip. Meng Tao took out the change she had prepared earlier and bought a ticket. She deliberately found a window seat with someone sitting outside to prevent Shen Yu from coming up to catch her. This person was too nosy. He said he was afraid that she would get lost, but who knows? If Shen Yu and Xian Fangfang were not childhood sweethearts, Meng Tao would be happy to accept his kindness and accept his kindness. If she didn't run around, she wouldn't run around. It would be nice to chat with a beautiful man, but the reality was that Xian Fangfang affectionately called Shen Yu "Brother Yu", and Shen Yu would let the Yuan family off because of Xian Fangfang's request. They were brothers and sisters, and what if Shen Yu came to approach her for Xian Fangfang? So Meng Tao didn't dare to believe it casually, even if he was handsome.

According to the novel, the hero Tian Zhigao and the heroine Xian Fangfang gave birth to a baby son soon after their marriage. Both working people could not take care of the child, and Xian Fangfang was afraid that her rural mother-in-law would not be able to raise the child well, so her aunt Jiang Yushan took the initiative to find a newly widowed cousin of Deputy Factory Director Yuan to help look after the child. The newly widowed cousin was middle-aged, but she was very good at dressing up and loved fancy things. She fell in love with the bachelor Factory Director Shen as soon as she arrived, and went to Shen's house every day. As a result, Factory Director Shen was soon involved in an "affair scandal". He was reported for having a bad work style and having promiscuous relationships with men and women, and was suspended from his post for investigation. Deputy Factory Director Yuan took over the duties of the factory director. After the storm, Factory Director Shen was transferred, and Deputy Factory Director Yuan was successfully promoted to the chief factory director.

Shen Yu came back and went straight to Yuan's house, throwing out evidence that Director Shen's work style problems were actually a trap set by Jiang Yushan and Deputy Director Yuan's cousin. Deputy Director Yuan might also know about it. Anyway, they wanted to drag Director Shen down so that Deputy Director Yuan could take over.

Shen Yu originally wanted to wipe out the Yuan family, but Xian Fangfang went to find him, crying like a pear blossom in the rain. The heroine's halo was dazzling, so Shen Yu gave in and did not touch the Yuan family. He just put forward two conditions. Meng Tao did not look closely at the specific conditions, but in short, Shen Yu had the handle on Deputy Director Yuan and took advantage of Yuan's position as Director to get all the benefits.

A few years later, Director Yuan had an accident and both he and his wife died tragically. The Yuan family fell into decline, but the male and female protagonists had risen and were unaffected.

Thinking about it carefully, although Shen Yu is treacherous, he is strong and protective of his shortcomings. His appearance, figure, and elegance are far better than Tian Zhigao. Why didn't the heroine Xian Fangfang marry Shen Yu, but fell in love with Tian Zhigao? Meng Tao shook her head, puzzled.
