Chapter 110 The Boss is Jealous (1)
Taotao was quite nervous.
Ever since she knew that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would come to the school to select students, she had been carrying a large Japanese dictionary and textbooks with her every day, practicing whenever she had free time, and also forced Song Zhi to practice speaking with her.
Even in my dreams at night, I was reciting texts and practicing dialogues...
Song Zhi was made to laugh and cry by her.
"Don't worry! Don't be too nervous," he said with a smile, "You will definitely be selected."
Tao Tao was very worried. "There are almost 600 students in our school in three grades! The number of students taking the postgraduate entrance exam is unknown, but I estimate there are about ten... With so many people competing for three places, I feel anxious!"
After a pause, she said to Song Zhi, "You are not allowed to help me open the back door!"
Song Zhi laughed, "Okay, okay, I won't give you a back door..."
He gives Taotao strong support in other aspects.
For example, in terms of life and diet.
——As for life, he is very restrained in his demands. When Taotao wanted it, he would cooperate fully. When she had enough or was tired, he would stop immediately and would never let her get physically exhausted.
——As for food, Song Zhi asked a colleague to change shifts and took on all the housework. He even prepared three meals a day for Taotao himself...
He would get up early every morning and ride his bicycle to the market to buy vegetables. Since he did not have enough meat coupons, he always had to pay a high price to buy some pork or a live chicken.
Chop the pork you bought, add the soaked and chopped mushrooms, dried tofu and tomatoes, stir-fry until fragrant, adjust the seasoning, add water and boil for a while, then pour it on the cooked noodles and you will have a bowl of delicious mixed noodles!
Or he would make chicken porridge for Taotao.
However, the live chicken needs to be bought one day in advance, slaughtered and stewed at night, and you will have delicious chicken soup to drink the next day! The white porridge should be cooked the night before. You only need to cook the rice and do not open the lid.
The next morning, use a colander to scoop out the rice that has been soaked overnight, put it into a small pot, and boil it with chicken broth... It only takes fifteen minutes to cook a bowl of fragrant, soft and glutinous chicken porridge with rice grains blooming!
The chicken stewed in soup tastes a bit bland and has a bit of a woody texture.
It doesn’t matter. Just shred the chicken, mix with sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar and shredded green onions, and sprinkle with fried sesame seeds. It will be a very delicious side dish for porridge.
Or maybe Song Zhi would fry a pancake for Taotao.
Use a little flour and water to make the dough, roll it out thinly with a rolling pin, fry it in a pan, put a fried egg, a layer of meat sauce, a few slices of blanched cabbage leaves in it, and then spread sesame paste on it...
Just fold the dough in half.
Of course, in addition to noodles with mixed sauce, chicken and pancakes for breakfast, Song Zhi would also let Taotao drink a glass of milk, an egg and a quarter of an apple.
Of course, if Taotao didn't have a small appetite, he would have forced her to eat a little more.
Lunch was also prepared by Song Zhi.
Before going to work every morning, he would do some preparation, for example, washing and soaking the rice first. Then think about the dishes you want to make, and prepare a backup plan in case you suddenly can’t buy food, and then ride your bike to work.
At noon he would rush back and go to the market to buy vegetables - this process could not be delayed, so he could not compare prices and often just bought meat or vegetables and left (many times he would greet the owners of the chicken and fish stalls in advance and ask them to kill the chickens and fish in advance).
When I get home, the first thing I do is cook rice. Then I season the raw fish or chicken, put them on a plate, and steam them in the rice cooker together. When the rice and steamed fish (or steamed chicken) are cooked, sprinkle chopped green onion and garlic on the surface of the steamed vegetables after taking them out of the pot, then drizzle a layer of hot oil, and the main dish is ready.
Taotao prefers vegetarian dishes, so he has to hurry up and make some stir-fried melons and some leafy vegetables...
Everything is done.
Then, he hurriedly packed two meals and rode his bicycle to the Agricultural University.
This basically ensures Taotao has fresh and delicious meals before 12:30 noon every day.
Of course, because Song Zhi put the teaching tasks that were easier to control in the morning...
So after he and Taotao finished lunch, he went to the research institute.
After school, Taotao rode her bike home by herself. She cleaned up the kitchen which Song Zhi had not been able to clean thoroughly at noon because he was too busy. She then processed the extra vegetables he had bought at noon and prepared dinner for her and Song Zhi.
I left some food for Song Zhi, and she ate it by herself and continued to study...
It is hard to say when Song Zhi will be able to come back.
In short, if the work in the laboratory goes well, he will be back around ten o'clock at night. But most of the time he would not come back until two or three in the morning... One time he came back directly to make breakfast for Taotao.
Just like that, a few days later, Taotao finally waited for the audition exam.
This time, the audition examinations commissioned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for various universities were divided into three sessions.
The first test is about quick sketching and memory.
The teacher first taught a class on shorthand symbols, filling up an entire blackboard. Then another teacher read three news articles in a row, each of which was about 100 words, 300 words, and 500 words respectively.
Candidates need to answer:
First, use shorthand symbols to express the contents of the three press releases.
Second, use text to restore the content of the press release to the greatest extent possible.
This exam was very discouraging.
Not to mention that in 45 minutes, no one could remember the full blackboard of sketches, and the subsequent three press releases were very official and the expressions were obscure and difficult to understand...
Many people broke down and handed in a blank paper.
For Taotao, this exam is quite challenging.
Indeed, in 45 minutes, the teacher taught a bunch of messy and similar-looking shorthand symbols...
No one can remember all the shorthand symbols.
But Taotao knew the three press releases that the teacher read.
——A few years ago, she had gotten used to her father and Song Zhi holding their semiconductors and listening to the news broadcast every hour...Now that they were in Kyoto, Song Zhi subscribed to several newspapers, and Taotao also developed the habit of reading newspapers every day.
She is not interested in politics.
But after listening to and watching the news too much, it would still arouse curiosity and I would ask Song Zhi.
Song Zhi would explain to her patiently.
After a while, Taotao became very familiar with all kinds of news terms. Moreover, the three news articles that the teacher read were ones that she had seen not long ago. She had even discussed the content of one of the articles with Song Zhi to this day...
Taotao expressed everything using the shorthand symbols she could remember, and then wrote out the contents of the three press releases using her own language.
This first audition exam directly eliminated 60% of the students who handed in blank papers, and the remaining 40% were also very uncertain.
A few days later, the second audition exam began.
The second test is language pronunciation.
It is said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send people directly to assess everyone's accent one by one.
Taotao and her classmates who had passed the first audition were waiting anxiously outside the examination room.
Everyone lines up according to class.
Taotao is now a student in Class 2, so she stood in line with her new classmates.
Not far away were the students from Class 1 (2) who had passed the preliminary exam. They included Zhang Lingzhi, Wang Bingyuan, Sun Ximei, Zhao Jinglian, Qian Cuicui, and several male students, about a dozen in total.
Sun Ximei was very excited. She quickly ran from the team over there to Taotao and asked, "Taotao, you guys should go in first, right? Maybe by the time your class comes out, it won't be our turn yet... Then you can tell us what the test is about!"
Taotao hasn't answered yet——
A girl next to her said coldly: "Isn't this cheating?"
Sun Ximei's smile froze for a moment, and she asked awkwardly, "Is that so? Is this cheating?"
Tao Tao glanced at the girl and said to Sun Ximei, "There's a notice at the door saying that reading the news release will test your pronunciation, so we don't have an advantage even if we're in the front. Don't worry!"
Sun Ximei nodded and went back to her team dejectedly.
Taotao glanced at the girl who had just choked Sun Ximei.
The girl's name is Lin Yuerong, and she is the only fair, rich and beautiful girl in the class. In the past two weeks since Taotao transferred to a new class, she didn't know if she was overthinking...
Lin Yuerong seemed to have something against her?
Just like when Taotao was taking the shorthand news release test in the preliminary examination, she wrote down her answers on the answer sheet, and then the invigilator asked the students to pass the papers from the last row to the front...
Taotao sat diagonally behind Lin Yuerong.
When Taotao passed the papers of her classmates and herself to the students in the front seat——
Lin Yuerong stopped her desk mate, took out Taotao's answer sheet, and read it out word by word in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.
After reading it, he sneered.
This little episode made Taotao feel a little uncomfortable.
However, after the new semester started, Song Zhi made a heavy and complicated study plan for Taotao, and also brought back many other professional books for her. So Taotao spent most of her time studying and didn't have much time to get involved with Lin Yuerong.
Now Taotao has no intention of getting entangled with Lin Yuerong.
——Song Zhi has already greeted the leaders of the Agricultural University. Taotao has to go to the neighboring college today to audit two large classes, namely bioengineering and animal science.
Taotao looked down at her watch and thought to herself that after the assessment here was over, she would have to run quickly to the college, otherwise she would miss the class.
Lin Yuerong stared at Taotao coldly, sneered again, and said in a leisurely voice, "Isn't it just a Shanghai watch? Is it necessary to check it every minute? Tsk, isn't it just to show off that you have a watch, as if others don't have one?"
As she spoke, Lin Yuerong stretched her hand and showed the Plum Blossom watch on her wrist that was hidden by her sleeve.
Taotao frowned.
After waiting for a while, the classes ahead of us lined up to enter the examination room, and it was now the turn of Class 2 (2) to wait outside the examination room to prepare.
The teacher came over to call the roll, and then handed each candidate a piece of paper, saying, "Everyone take this piece of paper and write down your name and class on it. Later, each group of 8 will line up and go in. There will be 8 examiners inside. You just need to read the contents of the paper to the examiners. Don't be nervous, just perform normally!"
Tao Tao glanced at the paper and found that it was divided into two parts. First, the candidates were asked to introduce themselves, and a very standard template was given: My name is XXX (explain the special meaning of your name), I am XX years old, from XX, and I am currently a student in Class X, Grade X, Agricultural University...
The second thing is a press release of about 200 words, which the candidates are required to speak quickly in clear, standard Mandarin with correct intonation. This can be read aloud, but if you are confident, you can also recite it.
The teacher urged everyone to write their names on the paper and checked one by one to see if they had written their names...
After a while, Taotao and seven other classmates walked into the examination room.
Lin Yuerong and Taotao are in the same group.
As soon as Taotao entered the examination room——
Before I could see anything clearly, I heard Lin Yuerong cheering, "...Brother Sheng Hao"!
Sheng Hao?
Fang Shenghao?
Taotao looked around and found that the examination room converted from a classroom was quite spacious. There were eight desks lined up in a row with a chair in front and behind each desk. The examiner sat behind the desk.
Obviously, the chairs in front of the desks are for the examinees.
In addition to the eight examiners, there were six or seven people standing in the classroom, who seemed to be staff.
Fang Shenghao was indeed in the examination room, but he did not sit in the examiner's seat. Instead, he stood aside, holding a pile of information papers in his hand, and talking to other staff members.
Lin Yuerong saw Fang Shenghao and was so happy that she almost jumped up——
She ran towards him happily, grabbed his sleeve and shook it, and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Sheng Hao, you are here too! Then why didn't you come to see me earlier? It would have been better to tell me in advance!"
Fang Shenghao looked at Taotao who was looking at him with her head tilted not far away.
He calmly pulled his hand out of Lin Yuerong's and said calmly, "This is an examination room, don't make any noise, go back to your seat."
Lin Yuerong was embarrassed.
She pouts and returns to Taotao.
At this time, a staff member arranged the candidates, "Candidates please follow the queue order, sit in the seats in front of the examiner, and prepare to start reciting the content on the paper."
Taotao stepped forward and bowed to examiner No. 8, "Hello, teacher. Thank you for your hard work."
The examiner smiled and said, "Please take a seat, students..."
Taotao just sat down and was about to read the paper -
Fang Shenghao suddenly walked over and whispered something into the ear of Examiner No. 8.
Examiner No. 8 nodded, stood up, pointed at Fang Shenghao and said to Taotao: "Student, this examiner will assess you." After that, he left.
Tao Tao watched Fang Shenghao sitting opposite her with a smile on his face——
Lin Yuerong, who was sitting opposite examiner No. 7, became anxious, "Brother Sheng Hao, why don't you change seats with him!" As she said that, she pointed at examiner No. 7.
Examiner No. 7: …
Fang Shenghao frowned, "Classmate, please don't make any noise."
Then he gestured to Taotao, "You can start now."
Taotao took the paper and read: "Hello, teacher. My name is Bai Taotao. My mother thinks peach is the most delicious fruit in the world, so she gave me this nice name..."
Looking at the beautiful and lovely girl, she explained the origin of her name in a sweet and childish voice...
Fang Shenghao couldn't help laughing.
After not seeing her for a month, the beauty looks even more beautiful. Perhaps because she has been studying in school for a long time, she exudes an extremely elegant scholarly air from the inside out, her eyes are smart and clever, and she is cute and beautiful.
Taotao heard his laughter, feeling somewhat puzzled, and quietly raised her eyes to look at him——
He stifled a laugh, "Please continue."
"…I am 21 years old and come from Ruyi Village in Song County, Southeast Province. I am currently a student in Class 2, Grade 2 of the Agricultural University…"
Having said that, Taotao turned the paper over on the table, looked Fang Shenghao in the eye, and quickly finished reading the 200-word news.
Fang Shenghao smiled and turned over the paper she had turned upside down on the table, and signed his name in the "Interviewer" column.
"You did very well," he whispered in Japanese.
Taotao looked at him puzzledly.
——She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but it seemed that when Fang Shenghao spoke Japanese, his voice became softer and more casual.
Bai Taotao also said in Japanese: "Opportunities always come to those who are always prepared."
Fang Shenghao's eyes lit up, "Can you speak Japanese?"
"yes."
Fang Shenghao asked again, "Self-taught?"
"Song Zhi taught me how to get started."
Hearing Song Zhi's name, Fang Shenghao was silent for a while, then he put on a smile again and asked Tao Tao, "Then... why do you want to learn Japanese?"
Tao Tao replied: "I will have my own academic opinions, and I want to convey my opinions to the world, including but not limited to Japan."
Fang Shenghao remained silent for a long time.
At this time, the other six candidates in Taotao's group had completed the assessment and left the examination room.
Only Taotao and Lin Yuerong were left sitting on the chairs.
However, Taotao stayed because she wanted to answer Fang Shenghao's questions.
And Lin Yuerong——
Examiner No. 7 said to Lin Yuerong: "Student, you have completed the assessment and can leave the examination room."
Lin Yuerong urged Examiner No. 7, "Then please sign for me!" while staring at Fang Shenghao and Bai Taotao... The more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.
——No, Brother Sheng Hao is always serious, why is he smiling so gently at Bai Taotao?
Seeing that examiner No. 7 was reluctant to sign her test paper, Lin Yuerong was stunned. She stood up and asked condescendingly: "Why don't you sign it?"
The tone clearly revealed questions and displeasure, with a hint of anger.
Examiner No. 7 frowned.
At this time, Fang Shenghao smiled and said to Taotao: "Okay, your assessment is complete, you can leave."
Taotao also smiled at him, "Thank you, teacher!"
She stood up and walked out of the examination room without looking back.
Fang Shenghao looked at her background.
——Light and relaxed, jumping up and down from time to time, it is hard to conceal the enthusiasm and youthful liveliness, with a bit of excitement and haste.
He couldn't help laughing again.
"Bang!"
Until someone angrily slammed the desk in front of him.
Fang Shenghao's face turned cold, and he looked quietly at Lin Yuerong, who was standing in front of him, her face flushed with anger and her nostrils spitting fire.
"Classmate, is there any problem?" Fang Shenghao asked coldly.
Lin Yuerong pointed at examiner No. 7 who was sitting next to her and said to Fang Shenghao, "...Why didn't he want to sign my test paper? I saw that you signed Bai Taotao's test paper! So, you let her pass the test, right? Then why didn't I pass the test?"
"Student, please do not violate the examination room rules and tarnish the reputation of Agricultural University," Fang Shenghao said, and then signaled to the Agricultural University teacher next to him, "Please let this student leave the examination room. We need to continue to test other students."
The female teacher came over and grabbed Lin Yuerong, half persuading and half dragging her out.
Lin Yuerong angrily said to Fang Shenghao: "What's wrong with my performance? Fang Shenghao, you will regret it if you do this! I will tell my parents and my sister when I go back!"
As they were talking, Lin Yuerong was dragged out.
Examiner No. 7 hesitated for a while, then lowered his voice and explained to Fang Shenghao: "Lin Yuerong's temper is not suitable for our job..."
Fang Shenghao replied: "I trust your judgment."
Taotao didn't know about this.
As soon as the test was over, she hurried to the next door college to attend lectures.
After the lecture, she borrowed notes from a female classmate sitting next to her and copied them in the cafeteria before returning them...
Taotao rode her bicycle hurriedly towards home.
"Tao Tao!"
Someone called her, and the voice sounded familiar.
Taotao turned her head and saw—Fang Shenghao?
He was also pushing a 28-style bicycle and standing at the gate of the Agricultural University.
She braked the car, propped herself up on one leg, and asked him, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Fang Shenghao asked, "Where's Song Zhi?"
Tao Tao replied: "He's on the night shift!"
"Is that so? I, I was thinking of asking you and Song Zhi to go see Uncle Guan together." After saying that, Fang Shenghao concealed his nervousness and looked at Taotao with disappointment.
God knows how much courage he mustered to come up with this reason.
"Song Zhi and I went to see him last week," Tao Tao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a while, she asked again, "Is Uncle Guan okay?"
Fang Shenghao smiled bitterly, "…He has recovered a little, but he had a big fight with my mom yesterday. He was just suffering from a back disease, but now he fell and his leg is in a cast. I went to see him yesterday, and he was still talking about you and Song Zhi."
Taotao looked down at her watch again.
Fang Shenghao said: "Let's go over there now and have dinner with him, and then I'll take you back...it shouldn't be later than nine o'clock."
——It is now a quarter to six. It takes about 45 minutes to ride a bike from the Agricultural University to the military compound. I spend an hour eating and chatting with Guan Qingbai, and then another 45 minutes riding a bike back home. It is exactly nine o'clock.
Tao Tao said cheerfully: "Okay then, let's go now!"
The 45-minute journey is still quite long.
Taotao was anxious, pedaling fast, and had to be careful to avoid pedestrians...
Fang Shenghao didn't have much chance to chat with her.
After arriving at the military hospital, Guan Qingbai's guard was immediately happy when he saw Tao Tao and Fang Shenghao, "Luckily you are here! The commander hasn't even had dinner yet, and he scolded us every time we tried to persuade him... Come on, I'll take you in."
Tao Tao followed Fang Shenghao to the door of the ward, and indeed heard Guan Qingbai cursing loudly -
However, with the guard's voice of "Report to the commander, Sheng Hao and Tao Tao are here"...
Guan Qingbai's angry cursing stopped instantly.
Taotao heard him say in a normal voice: "...Then let's leave it at that. It's break time now, so I won't say any more to you."
Fang Shenghao turned around and looked at Taotao closely, and found that Taotao was really not tall, probably a little less than 1.6 meters. Her hair was black, thick, soft and shiny, and was braided into a beautiful braid, which lay neatly on her shoulders.
Her forehead was covered with soft bangs, her eyes were sparkling and dazzling, and her full and beautiful lips were slightly pursed...
Fang Shenghao was a little dazed.
His gaze made Taotao a little alert.
She looked up at him.
Fang Shenghao came back to his senses and immediately made a silent gesture to her, explaining: Uncle Guan is on the phone.
Taotao understood and nodded.
Fang Shenghao looked at her and wanted to laugh for no reason...
At this time, the guard pushed open the door and motioned for them to go in.
Guan Qingbai's voice also sounded at the right time, "Taotao? Is Taotao here?"
"Hello, Uncle Guan!" Taotao entered the house first.
Sure enough, there was only Guan Qingbai lying on the hospital bed in the room, and no one else.
——He was talking on the phone just now!
"Sheng Hao! Hey, is it just you two? Where is Song Zhi?" Guan Qingbai stretched his neck and looked towards the door of the ward.
Fang Shenghao explained with a smile, "My company sent me to the Agricultural University to recruit students today. I met Tao Tao and wanted to invite them to come and see you together, but Song Zhi had to work the night shift... so it was just the two of us who came."
"That's thoughtful," Guan Qingbai was very happy, and asked, "You two haven't eaten yet, right?"
"Not yet." Fang Shenghao said.
Guan Qingbai hurriedly urged the guard, "Go buy two more hot meals. Taotao, Sheng Hao and I will eat together!"
The guard responded hurriedly and went out to buy food.
Guan Qingbai asked casually, "Sheng Hao, are you going to the Agricultural University to recruit people today? Are you recruiting Taotao?"
Fang Shenghao smiled and looked at Taotao.
Taotao had been staring at Guan Qingbai just now.
——Guan Qingbai’s mental state is not very good. He had dry lips, dark circles under his eyes, and very swollen bags under his eyes. It looked like he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
But hasn't he been recuperating?
Why is it getting worse the more you raise it? !
Suddenly, Tao Tao heard that their topic had turned to the enrollment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Shangnong School. She hurriedly explained, "We don't know yet. There are three exams, and today is the second one..."
Guan Qingbai asked Fang Shenghao, "Can you be selected?"
Fang Shenghao nodded with a smile.
Tao Tao seemed to understand something and shouted anxiously, "Fang Shenghao, I won't let you use a back door! I have the ability, I can pass the exam on my own!"
Guan Qingbai was stunned and laughed.
He raised his hand and slapped Fang Shenghao's shoulder hard, saying, "Did you hear that? Taotao won't use any backdoors! Taotao has to rely on her own abilities to get in!"
Fang Shenghao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
——The little beauty is so cute!
After laughing for a long time, he said, "I know. I won't give Taotao a backdoor. I don't have that ability. However, I have been sent to many schools for assessment by my unit... I am still clear about the overall level of the students."
Fang Shenghao looked at Taotao and said seriously: "Don't worry, you will definitely be selected."
Tao Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can Lin Yuerong pass the second round?"
The smile on Fang Shenghao's face gradually faded.
Guan Qingbai asked curiously: "Lin Yuerong? Which Lin Yuerong? Is she Lin Weizhi's sister?"
Fang Shenghao hummed and subconsciously looked at Taotao.
Taotao was lost in deep thought.
——It turns out that Lin Yuerong has known Fang Shenghao for a long time! It turns out that Lin Yuerong has an older sister named Lin Weizi! Yuerong, Weizhi... It turns out that the names of these two sisters come from the saying "A man will die for his best friend, and a woman will dress up for the one who pleases her"? However, Lin Weizhi used a homophone.
But, isn’t “knowing death” the word that goes well with “pleasing appearance”?
In other words, isn’t “wei yue” the word that pairs well with “wei (wei) zhi (zhi)”?
Taotao showed a puzzled expression.
Guan Qingbai also asked Taotao curiously, "Is Lin Yuerong in the same university as you?"
Taotao nodded, "I skipped a grade and am in the same class with her now!"
Fang Shenghao looked at Taotao.
Guan Qingbai also looked at Taotao, was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and explained: "Taotao, you don't know yet, Sheng Hao has a fiancée named Lin Weizi. Lin Weizi's father and Sheng Hao's father are colleagues and revolutionary comrades, so their marriage has been decided a long time ago... Didn't Sheng Hao go to the countryside a few years ago? Weizi has been waiting for him for so many years..."
Then he asked Fang Shenghao, "So how are you and Weizhi doing? When are you planning to get married?"
Fang Shenghao replied in a low voice: "We have broken up."
"What?" Guan Qingbai widened his eyes in shock.
Taotao was also surprised.
——Why did they break up just when I heard he had a fiancée?
Fang Shenghao smiled bitterly, "She has other...ideas."
Taotao understood - the implication was that Lin Weizi did not have other ideas, but had another man. Oh, Fang Shenghao is such a pitiful man, he was abandoned!
The look in her eyes when she looked at Fang Shenghao was full of sympathy and pity.
Fang Shenghao was not sad, and after understanding Taotao's expression, he couldn't help but laugh again.
Guan Qingbai was stunned for a while and asked, "When did it happen?"
"It's been a while," Fang Shenghao replied, "but I also promised her that I won't make it public for now... to save you parents from worrying about us..."
"Then when did your mother know?" Guan Qingbai asked.
Fang Shenghao, "Yesterday, she was trying to get me to tell you something, and I... was really annoyed by her questions, so I let it slip."
"So it's you, kid!" Guan Qingbai scolded, "I thought so. Your mother came over and had a big fight with me yesterday. I thought everything was fine during the New Year, but how come it suddenly became like she swallowed a barrel of fire and exploded at the slightest touch..."
Fang Shenghao was stunned and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Uncle, I'm sorry!"
"Oh, this is fate!" Guan Qingbai sighed, "When Hailong's mother was still alive, I was still young and always felt that there was a long time to come, so I didn't cherish her well... leaving a lifetime of regret! Then I lived with your mother, but I didn't know how to cherish her... She also suffered a lot from Hailong! It's my fault, I will give in to her more in the future, but Hailong Haishan... I don't know how to make up for it!"
As they were talking, the guards brought the food over.
Taotao, Fang Shenghao and Guan Qingbai each held a lunch box and ate.
The food in the military hospital canteen is not very good. Although there is meat, you can tell it doesn’t taste good just by looking at the appearance.
Taotao stared at the food, feeling a little embarrassed.
——The education and influence of her family and home made her cherish food very much. In the past, Song Zhi was always by her side. He would never complain if she couldn't finish the food and would always take it all.
Now?
It was obvious that she couldn't finish the full lunch box.
And there are many things she doesn't like to eat...
Guan Qingbai was completely unaware and kept muttering about Guan Hailong and Guan Haishan while eating his meal with big mouthfuls.
Fang Shenghao noticed Taotao's hesitation.
After thinking for a while, he said softly: "Taotao, if you can't finish this box of food...it's okay, just give it to me."
Taotao breathed a sigh of relief, "Can I put it on the lid of the lunch box?"
Fang Shenghao nodded with a smile.
Tao Tao quickly explained, "I haven't eaten a single bite, and my chopsticks are clean."
——Don't worry, you won't taste my saliva.
Fang Shenghao was silent for a while and nodded.
Taotao scooped out half of the rice, and divided the various dishes into half...especially the braised pork that she didn't like and was not cooked well.
Fang Shenghao looked at the food in her lunch box and was a little worried. "Is this all you're going to eat?"
"That's enough!" Taotao said as she picked up the bowl and started eating.
With someone to accompany him for dinner, Guan Qingbai was in high spirits and ate a whole box of food.
Taotao thought about it and told the guard that she wanted to eat apples and milk.
So the guard went to wash some apples, Taotao peeled three apples, and she, Guan Qingbai, and Fang Shenghao each ate an apple.
When handing the apple to Guan Qingbai, Taotao also passed a little spiritual power to him.
After eating the apple, I drank three cups of milk made with boiling water, and the temperature just dropped.
Guan Qingbai didn't want to drink this rich and sweet milk at all.
Taotao coaxed Guan Qingbai to drink again, and of course she drank it too.
Fang Shenghao sat next to Taotao and saw the milky white juice on her bright red lips after she finished drinking the milk...
His heart couldn't help but start pounding wildly!
For a moment, his face turned red, and he dared not look at her again, but he couldn't help being attracted and wanted to secretly look at her...
Guan Qingbai also saw it and laughed, "Taotao is really like a little child! Do you have a handkerchief with you? Wipe your mouth quickly! Oh, you are just like a cat! You have a big appetite, and after drinking a glass of milk... your mouth is full of milk! When Song Zhi gets home, he will know that you drank the milk secretly, hahahahahaha..."
Taotao smiled, took out her handkerchief and wiped it clean carefully.
She and Fang Shenghao chatted with Guan Qingbai for a while...
Guan Qingbai actually yawned?
Taotao immediately said goodbye and asked Guan Qingbai to have a good rest, then she left with Fang Shenghao.
It's already past eight o'clock at night.
Taotao was a little anxious, so she pushed her bicycle out of the hospital in a hurry and prepared to go home.
She said to Fang Shenghao: "It's getting late, you should go back quickly!"
Fang Shenghao, "I'm fine, I'll take you back first."
"No need!" Tao Tao said, "From the military hospital to us, there are main roads all the way. It's not too late now. There are many pedestrians on the road. I will be fine. But if you send me home first and then go back... then it will be too late. Goodbye!"
With that, she slipped into the car and drove away quickly.
Fang Shenghao also got in the car and chased after him.
Of course he wouldn't let Taotao go back alone.
She is so beautiful, and traveling alone at night would attract a lot of attention.
Besides, it was he who instigated her to come here, so he had to ensure her safety and send her back safely.
But if she didn't like his approach, he would just follow her silently to protect her. As long as he could see her get home safely, that would be enough.
Just like that, Taotao rode her bike in the front, and Fang Shenghao followed behind slowly...
Until Taotao slowly braked and stared at a vendor selling roasted sweet potatoes for a full three minutes.
Taotao was torn between her conscience and her desires: I didn’t eat enough in the hospital just now, and now I’m a little hungry. Roasted sweet potatoes are so fragrant, they must be very sweet and delicious! But it’s late now, and if I eat roasted sweet potatoes, I’ll gain weight!

Tao Tao, "No, thank you!"
Fang Shenghao put two roasted sweet potatoes directly into the woven basket on the head of Taotao's bicycle, smiled at her, and rode away on his bicycle.
Taotao stared at Fang Shenghao's background and thought that this man was weird.
——She was not familiar with Fang Shenghao. The overall impression Fang Shenghao gave her was that he had a very gloomy and dull temperament. He was even colder and more silent than Song Zhi when he first arrived in Ruyi Village.

——Did Uncle Guan break his leg?
