Chapter 677 The Young Lady and the Repairman (7)

Bai Yao discovered that He Mian had been avoiding her recently. Whenever she appeared, he would go somewhere else to do other things.

In short, he was trying his best to avoid appearing in her sight.

Bai Yao was not in a hurry. Since he wanted to hide, she would not look for him.

Coincidentally, Bai Yu was afraid that she would be bored staying at home, so when he went to work early this morning, he took Bai Yao to the experimental base to join in the fun.

The experimental base was on the mountain, and there were several automated greenhouses built here. Bai Yao heard from her father that they were recently studying the possibility of multiple fruiting in plants. They had already cultivated new varieties, but whether they could be planted and produced on a large scale and put on the market was still an unknown.

Bai Yao didn't understand these, but she got a lot of fruits that were not available in the market, which was enough for her to pass the time.

After lunch, it was time to rest.

Bai Yao brought a stool from the corner and sat in the shade by the door, holding a piece of yellow melon in her hand. After taking a bite of the flesh, she commented: "It will taste better if it is put in the refrigerator for a while."

"Great minds think alike!" A young man next to her said excitedly: "I thought so too, but Teacher Bai said that young people always like to eat cold food, which is bad for their health. So if we want to eat cold food, we have to secretly ask the uncle in the cafeteria to help us put the food in the refrigerator."

This young man is one of the researchers who has just joined the company. His name is Blue Pigeon. He is lively and very outgoing. This is Bai Yao's first time to come to the base today, and also the first time she has seen him, and he can chat with her with a smile.

Most young people nowadays like to drink cold drinks. This place is considered a "remote and poor place". It is not convenient to go down the mountain to buy things, let alone order takeout and cold drinks. But the most abundant thing here is the rare fruits. Everyone can eat as much as they want.

However, people of Bai Yu's generation have a generation gap with the young people. Seeing them eating frozen fruits every day makes me feel jealous.

Blue Pigeon glanced around and said in a low voice: "If you come next time, give us a signal as soon as possible so that I can put the food in the freezer in advance."

Bai Yao smiled and said, "Thank you."

Blue Pigeon said, "You're welcome. Your father is my teacher, so you can be considered my junior sister. It's only natural for a brother to take care of his sister. To be honest, I was surprised when I just learned that Teacher Bai bought a manor here to settle down and moved here with his family."

Bai Yao took another bite of the melon, "What's so surprising?"

"You are living in the Minghu Manor now." Blue Pigeon rubbed his arms and whispered, "It is said that it is not clean there, and many things have happened there before."

Bai Yao was curious, "You know so much?"

"My hometown is Minghu Town, of course I have heard of it."

Lan Pigeon had told Bai Yu before that there was something wrong with the manor, but Bai Yu said that his family lived well and they were scientific researchers, so they didn't believe in these weird things.

Lan Pigeon knew that Bai Yu didn't like him saying these things, so he didn't dare to say them in front of Bai Yu, but now he couldn't help but talk about it again when he talked to Bai Yao.

Bai Yao asked him, "You said something happened in the manor, what happened?"

"After the first male owner of the manor passed away, everyone inside moved out. But someone who happened to pass by in the middle of the night saw that the light was on in the house. The light was flickering, not to mention how blinding it was."

Bai Yao: "Is there something wrong with the circuit?"

Lan Pigeon choked up in his throat. After a long while, he continued: "More than ten years ago, two thieves tried to sneak into the manor to steal something. Later, one of the thieves ran out of the manor shouting. When the police arrived, they found that the other thief had... "The neck of a thief was broken by someone and he fell into a dry well."

Bai Yao's eyes shone with wisdom, "The spoils were not distributed equally, and there was an internal conflict!"

Lan Pigeon endured and said, "Someone also saw a figure walking out of the lake late at night, and the figure went towards the direction of the manor, and then disappeared!"

Bai Yao: "Someone was swimming in the wild?"

Lan Pigeon raised his hand to support his forehead. He could see that Bai Yao was worthy of being Bai Yu's daughter. The father and daughter were both stubborn and really couldn't be persuaded!

Bai Yao finished eating the melon and threw the melon rind into the trash can beside her. She took out a tissue and wiped her hands. She stood up and said to Lan Pigeon: "I'm going home first. Please tell my dad for me."

Lan Pigeon said: "Aren't you going to wait for Teacher Bai to get off work and go home together?"

"No, I'm going to sit here any longer. I feel like I need to gain a few more pounds." Bai Yao touched her bulging belly. She had been talking non-stop since she came here in the morning.

Her father's colleagues waved at her from time to time, "Yaoyao, come here to pick fruits!"

Bai Yao felt that she didn't eat as much fruit as she did today in a year.

Blue Pigeon asked again with concern: "Do you know the way back?"

"There is only one way up and down the mountain, of course I know it." Bai Yao waved her hand and turned to walk out of the base gate.

Every morning there is a bus going up the mountain, and in the afternoon there is a bus going down the mountain.

Bai Yao calculated the time and stood under a pomegranate tree on the side of the road waiting. When the bus passed by, she waved and the bus would stop.

There were not many people on the bus. An old man in black clothes sat in the back seat, and a young mother with a child of seven or eight years old sat in the front seat.

Bai Yao walked to the middle and chose a seat by the window.

The weather on the mountain changed suddenly. Not long after she got on the bus, the sky became gloomy again.

The driver in front said: "It's about to rain. I hope it won't rain heavily before we go down the mountain, otherwise I won't be able to catch my wife's dinner."

The old man at the back coughed twice and took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket. After taking the medicine, he said with anticipation, "My daughter is born. If I can go down the mountain earlier, I can still catch the last bus to the city hospital."

"Mom, Mom!" The little boy in front pestered his mother and asked: "Can we really stay for a long time when we go to Dad's place this time?"

The young mother touched the top of the child's head and smiled: "Of course, your dad got a promotion and was assigned to a dormitory. Our family can live together every day. Then we will take you to eat KFC."

The child cheered for joy, and in the empty carriage, no one thought he was noisy.

It is inconvenient to travel here. If it is not necessary, local people will not travel far.

The driver looked at the sky outside and muttered: "Don't encounter mudslides."

Bai Yao slept too late last night and fell asleep soon after leaning on the seat.

So she did n't see that a bus was passing by her window, also going down the mountain.
