This is a long-distance bus from a neighboring town to the county seat. Because it is an early bus, there are not many people in the carriage. There are about a dozen people, and everyone has a seat.

Song Zhi asked Bai Taotao to sit on the seat and tidied up the luggage - Bai Zhenggan asked Dongsheng to pack up the bamboo gadgets he made during this time, pack a big bag, and let Tang Liren bring it to him. Go into town and see if you can find a black market to sell it.

Tang Li and Bai Lili waited for a while, seeing that Song zhi had no intention of giving up the seat next to Tao Tao, they automatically sat in the row in front of Tao Tao and Song zhi.

Song Zhi packed his luggage, then took out two cents and handed it to the conductor, saying, "Four people, go to the city."

——From here to the county seat, it is exactly five cents a ticket.

The bus had already started.

The conductor took the money that Song zhi handed over, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that it was only two cents? So he pointed to Yan Naqian and asked Song Zhi, "Isn\'t that **** with you?"

Song Zhi repeated, "The four of us, go to the city."

The conductor stopped talking, took the money, tore off the ticket and handed it to Song Zhi. Then frowned and stared at Yan Naqian, "Comrade, please buy a ticket, five cents a ticket."

Yan Naqian looked in disbelief and shouted, "Brother Song Zhi!"

Song Zhi didn\'t seem to hear it.

Yan Naqian was anxious, she hurried to Song zhi, and said anxiously, "Brother Song zhi, where did I offend you, you..."

Tang Liren pouted and interrupted Yan Naqian, "The most beautiful and literate girl in our village, can I take the car without paying?"

Yan Naqian ignored Tang Liren at all, she just looked at Song zhi with tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Brother Song zhi, don\'t you care about our childhood feelings..." She sobbed slightly when she said this. After vaguely going over, he continued: "You always know my feelings for you, and Uncle Song and Song Sui always hope that we will be well..."

"In the past, if you think I\'m wrong, then I apologize to you, but you can\'t talk to me for the sake of Uncle Song and Song Sui?" Yan Naqian said tearfully.

Bai Taotao sat beside Song Zhi and looked at Yan Naqian excitedly.

When she was still in the Mei Sect, she watched the seniors and sisters fighting each other every day, and she almost didn\'t get angry with the master, the uncle, the uncle, and the sect master!

Now Yan Naqian\'s tone of voice is very similar to those of her senior sisters.

Look, Yan Naqian\'s half-hearted, half-hearted and half-hearted meaning fully demonstrates "I used to have an old relationship with Song Zhi, and Song Zhi and I have an unavoidable relationship. Song Zhi\'s father and brother are very fond of me. OK?" What does that mean?

Taotao was very curious and wanted to see how Song zhi answered, so she turned her head and looked at Song zhi eagerly.

Tang Li and Bai Lili also widened their eyes, looking at Yan Naqian and Song Zhi, thinking that they are still old? !

Song Zhi still ignored Yan Naqian.

——He seldom goes back to Nandu, which does not mean that he has never gone back. But he was not very interested in his father\'s contacts in Nandu. He had seen Yan Naqian several times from a distance, but he had no impression at all.

It was only later that Yan Naqian approached him privately and explained his identity, and Song rank knew that Yan Naqian and Song Sui were childhood sweethearts.

And because Song Zhi has special feelings for his father and brother that cannot be expressed in words, he is very indifferent to Yan Naqian. No matter what Yan Naqian said, Song Zhi was always expressionless.

At this moment, Song Zhi bent his head down and turned over his luggage with concentration——

Yan Naqian was overjoyed, thinking that he must be looking for money to pay for her fare! Couldn\'t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As a result, Song Zhi found an aluminum lunch box, opened the lid, and said to Taotao, "Eat one, beware of motion sickness."

——Tang Liren suffers from severe motion sickness, so she must pickle sour **** when she goes out on a long-distance bus.

Tao Tao took a piece of pickled sour **** with her orchid fingers, and took it to her mouth and licked it carefully.

Tang Li and Bai Lili also took a piece each.

Yan Naqian was stunned.

so?

Does Song Zhi mean that she doesn\'t want to pay for her car at all?

Isn\'t it five cents? Is he still a man!

It was the first time that Yan Naqian saw such an inexhaustible man, and she couldn\'t help but be shocked and doubted her own charm.

The conductor became impatient and said to Yan Naqian, "Hey, comrade, will you buy a ticket? Get off if you don\'t want to buy a ticket! Hurry up!"

Yan Naqian was still a little unwilling, and begged, "Brother Song Zhi—"

——As long as he doesn\'t reject her head-on, she still has a chance. Make sure he looks straight at her, maybe as long as he looks up at her... will he change his mind?

Yan Naqian knows how to display her expression, which is the most beautiful and sad.

She was just getting ready when Song Zhi looked up at her with sharp eyes, "Comrade Yan, take the liberty to ask, are you an adult this year?"

Yan Naqian was stunned, and murmured, "You are, you are an adult." She is ready to get married at any time.

"Since you\'re already an adult?" Song Zhi said slowly, "So you should know that you have to obey the regulations when you take a long-distance bus, and you have to buy a ticket to take the bus, right?"

Yan Naqian\'s face turned blue and red.

Song Zhi\'s words, Bai Taotao\'s curious eyes, the contemptuous eyes of the conductor, and the chatter of a carload of people... made Yan Naqian feel ashamed.

"You don\'t have any money and you want to ride in a Bawang car? I think you are also an educated youth, why are you so shameless?" the conductor sneered.

Yan Naqian blushed and was about to pay for a ticket—

Suddenly someone said, "Conductor, I\'ll help Comrade Yan buy a ticket!"

Yan Naqian was stunned for a moment and looked around, only to see that it was a male educated youth who jumped in line in Jixiang Village?

The educated youth didn\'t seem to know Yan Naqian\'s embarrassment, so he took out a dime from his pocket, bought a ticket for Yan Naqian, and greeted Yan Naqian with a smile, "Is Comrade Yan going to the city too?"

Yan Naqian blushed with shame, as if she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle in her heart. She hated Song zhi for being cold and ruthless, and she hated the conductor who looked down on others, but thinking that someone bought a ticket for her after all, it could be seen that her charm was still there, her appearance was decent, and she was still attractive to men, not because of this episode. Time has become ugly by farming every day, so I can breathe a sigh of relief.

But because of this, Yan Naqian didn\'t want to entangle with Song rank anymore, so she raised her chin, passed Song rank without looking sideways, smiled and walked towards the educated youth from the neighboring village who bought the ticket for her. There was an empty seat beside him. Sitting down there, the two chatted in a low voice.

Tang Liren really wanted to ask Song Zhi: What is your relationship with Yan Naqian? If you and her are unclear, then don\'t pester us anymore.

But with so many people sitting in the car, she couldn\'t speak well, so she glared at Song zhi and said nothing.

Tao Tao is happily licking the pickled ginger.

——This is Grandma Tao Tao’s specialty. The old lady is in her seventies, and her body is very strong. All the ingredients used for pickling **** are grown by herself, and she doesn’t know what secret method she used. The pickled pickled **** has a good taste of five parts sour, four parts spicy, and one part sweet. In addition, **** is tender ginger, which is crisp and raw, and has a lot of water. When you bite into it, the juice is overflowing. After chewing a little bit, there is no residue!

Song Zhi folded his arms and quietly watched Tao Tao eat pickled sour ginger.

According to his observation, the little girl really likes to lick food, whether it is eating, eating vegetables, eating snacks or drinking soup.

Right now, she used the tip of her tender tongue to lick off the chili sauce on the skin of the pickled ginger—it was a little spicy, so she sighed with her teeth in her canthus, and when the spiciness slowly passed, she would lighten up. He took a small bite of the crispy ginger, and smiled happily in his mouth.

Song Zhi laughed dumbly.

Isn\'t it just a piece of pickled ginger, how can you eat so happily?

He couldn\'t help reaching out and touched Tao Tao\'s head.

Tao Tao likes him to touch her head.

As soon as he touched her head, she enjoyed it quietly, not even eating pickled sour ginger.

After a while, Tao Tao couldn\'t calm down anymore. She handed the pickled sour **** to Song zhi and asked him to hold it for her. Then she grabbed her sister\'s back chair in the front seat, and the two sisters whispered.

This said, the headband that the second brother bought last time is really good-looking, this time we will go and see if there is anything else.

The one said that the mosquito net at home was broken, and a new pair had to be added...

This said, I wanted to go to a state-run restaurant to eat, but the last time I didn\'t have enough taste.

That said, I don\'t know what\'s popular in the city recently.

...

Song Zhi didn\'t remember what Bai Lili said...

However, what Tao Tao said, he wrote down everything one by one.

The shuttle was shaking and shaking, plus there was a traffic jam in the middle of the road, and it was already more than four o\'clock in the afternoon when I wandered into the city.

Everyone was sitting with sore backs, and when they got off the bus, everyone was a defeated soldier.

Yan Naqian had already had a hot fight with the male educated youths in the neighboring village. When she got off the bus, she showed her goddess style. She didn\'t say hello to Song Zhi and Tang Liren. The male educated youth left together.

Tang Liren stared at Yan Naqian\'s back for a long time and muttered, "This Yan Naqian..." She shook her head.

Song County is not big, there are only two or three guest houses in total.

Song Zhi still went to the hostel where Aunt Guihua worked, took out the letter of introduction, and asked for two rooms. Then he discussed with Tang Liren, "Auntie, if you rest in the guest house, I\'ll go to the Hongxing Machinery Factory to say hello and see how they are doing, and then I\'ll know how long I\'ll stay in the city. "

Tang Liren took out a stack of banknotes and asked him, "Would you like to take some money with you? It\'s in the city, you need money to eat and drive!"

Song Zhi smiled and shook his head, "Thank you auntie, I have money." After speaking, he glanced at Taotao and said to Bai Lili, "Please look at Lao Taotao, please don\'t let it get lost, she is very naughty."

Taotao squinted at him, the boss was not happy.

But when she saw that he reached out and touched her head, Taotao couldn\'t help giggling, and she lowered her head and obediently let him touch her head.

Tang Li and Bai Lili exchanged glances.

Song Zhi hurried away.

Tao Tao held her mother in one hand and her sister in the other, "Let\'s go! Let\'s go to the black market!"

Tang Liren was both funny and annoyed, "There\'s no black market at this point! Besides, you\'ve been in the car all day...Aren\'t you tired? Listen, let\'s rest first, and talk about it tomorrow."

Tao Tao showed a thoughtful expression, "Why is there no black market at this point?"

Bai Lili explained: "Because it\'s this hour, every family has to cook, so who has time to buy and sell things outside?"

Tang Liren said again: "By the way, your aunt Guihua is not going to work today. I have to buy something to sit at her house and have a good time! Otherwise, it\'s not her way, where can we rent such a big yard? , and charge us one dollar for the daily rent, which is much cheaper than living in a hostel!”

Bai Lili, "Isn\'t it two dollars a day?"

"I lied to you! Or else she thinks it\'s easy for us to get money!" Tang Liren said, "Let\'s go, I\'ll take you two out to eat meat buns first, and then you two will come back to watch TV after eating the meat buns, I\'ll go to your aunt Guihua\'s house!"

The three of them walked around outside for a few times, and finally found a peddler selling steamed buns at the entrance of a small alley and bought a few meat buns. The hawker also tried his best to sell the remaining porridge that he was selling.

The three of them stood on the side of the road and hurriedly finished eating the meat buns, and parted ways.

Tao Tao refused to return to the guest house.

She said to Sister Lizi: "I don\'t believe it anymore, no one will set up a stall at this time? When the people in the city are cooking half-cooked vegetables, there is no salt, no sauce, or a guest suddenly comes to the house and wants to add another dish. ... Then what should we do? Besides, we won\'t go far, we\'ll just squat in the black market near the train station."

White Pear Pear:  …

Makes sense.

So the sisters went to the black market near the train station.

result--

The street was deserted.

However, under a dim yellow street light, a young girl in patched clothes was setting up a stall.

Tao Tao took her sister and went over.

Miss Patch was very happy to see Sister Taozi, and said hello quickly, "Miss, let\'s take a look at the headband, it\'s cheap, one for every penny!"

Taotao squatted down, looked at the leather rope placed on the clean furoshiki, and asked Miss Patch: "Sister, is there no one selling things here at night?"

Miss Patch stared at the hair rope tied to the ends of Taotao\'s hair for a while, and then replied in a low voice, "At night, almost no one comes out to set up a stall, because the police will patrol the streets."

Saying that, Miss Patch also smiled at Tao Tao.

Tao Tao suddenly realized.

Patch girl asked again, "What do you want to buy?"

Tao Tao thought about it for a while, then said truthfully: "We want to speculate..."

"Shh!" Miss Patch was very clever, she immediately understood what Taotao wanted to say, and hurriedly put her finger in front of her lips to stop Taotao from continuing to speak.

"Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday night, starting at 7:00 and ending at 7:30, they will sell small daily chemicals here, that is, soap, handkerchiefs, needles and thread. Every Tuesday and Thursday, they usually change things. Yes, the price is set by yourself, refer to the supply and marketing agency, but it is 20% cheaper than the supply and marketing agency. On Saturday nights and Sundays, food and agricultural and sideline products saved by the family are generally sold..." Miss Patch said in a low voice.

Tao Tao asked in a low voice, "Who are \'they\'?"

Miss Patch was stunned for a while before replying in a low voice: "\'they\' are businessmen, they usually travel to and from the city and the countryside to sell some things. They all have their own fixed sales sites. Villages... are all very particular."

Tao Tao understood, her eyes sparkling, "Thank you, sister!"

Patch girl pursed her lips and smiled, "I should thank you!"

"Ah?" Tao Tao was stunned, with a look of doubt on her face.

Girl Patch pointed to the hair rope tied to the ends of Tao Tao\'s hair, and smiled: "I made this myself. I remember, that night I was mad at my brother\'s medical expenses, and there was nothing I could do. I came here to set up a stall, and a big brother who passed by gave me ten yuan and bought all my worthless headbands, so that I, I, had the money to get medicine for my brother."

Hearing this, Taotao looked proud, "That\'s my brother Nansheng, my brother is the best in the world!"

Bai Lili asked, "Then is your brother okay?"

When the girl heard this, her eyes were slightly red, "Not yet, he has tuberculous meningitis. The doctor said that this disease is very dangerous and difficult to eradicate... My eldest sister died of this disease. I, I I\'m afraid that my brother is gone, in that case, I\'ll be the only one left..."

Tao Tao asked, "What about your parents?"

Miss Patch shook her head, "My mother died of a difficult childbirth while my younger brother was born, and my father pulled our three brothers and sisters alone. Last year my eldest sister was gone, and last year my father was crushed while working in the factory, and he couldn\'t be rescued. …”

Bai Lili suddenly felt sympathy, "Then how are you doing now?"

Miss Patch, "I\'m not old enough to take my father\'s job, so now I have to do some odd jobs in the factory, or set up a stall myself. When I turn eighteen, I can join the factory as a full-time worker with a stable salary. It\'s alright."

Tao Tao asked again, "How old are you this year?"

Miss Patch, "Sixteen, there is still one year and seven months away from the age of eighteen."

Tao Tao sighed: This is too difficult! It seems that there are people in the city who are not as good as the people in the countryside.

After the three of them chatted for a while, Miss Patch and Lizi Taozi got to know each other a little, and couldn\'t help but say, "Today is Wednesday, and someone will come to sell small daily chemicals at night. Do you want to pour some goods? I\'m familiar with it, I can do it. help you!"

Bai Lili hesitated.

Taotao responded with one bite, and then asked Miss Patch how to dump the goods.

Miss Patch introduced herself. Her name is Cheng Zhujun and her younger brother is Cheng Zhuming.

She first led Sister Tao Tao to her and her brother\'s house—the journey was not far, only 100 meters away from where she set up the stall.

But her "home" is actually the innermost cul-de-sac in a small alley, about two meters wide, with a few asbestos tiles on the top as the "roof"; the hanging down, broken linoleum cloth as the "wall" ; The door is two broken door panels. To enter the "house", the "door" must be removed.

Cheng Zhujun did not enter the door, and shouted loudly: "Zhuming, I will bring a friend over to the door of the house for a walk!"

The sound of a child coughing came from the "house", and then asked, "Sister, do you want me to go out first?"

"No, don\'t come out of the house." Cheng Zhujun replied.

Cheng Zhujun took Taotao and Lili a few steps outside before lowering his voice and said, "The doctor said that my brother\'s disease is contagious, so after my father died, the neighbors would not let us live in the factory. The dormitory is over, and we just moved here."

"Please forgive me, I won\'t invite you in... I brought you here because I want you to see where I live, I\'m not a liar. I know you should be out-of-towners and don\'t usually live in the city. Bar?"

Bai Taotao asked curiously, "How do you know that we are outsiders?"

Cheng Zhujun replied: "To tell you the truth, I\'ve lived here for a long time, and everyone I come and go is familiar with, but your eyes are very familiar."

Tao Tao nodded.

Cheng Zhujun explained to Taotao what "returning goods" means.

It\'s actually hoarding.

Commodities on the black market have no fixed prices, and are often rare. If you want to do this business, you have to rely on the vision of the poor man, buy at a low price and sell at a high price.

After speaking, Cheng Zhujun said again: "We can partner up... do business, I understand the black market, and my family has a place to store things, but I don\'t have the capital..."

Speaking of this, Cheng Zhujun was a little embarrassed, "So, so... can you, can you lend me some money? When I earn the money, how about our four or six points? You are six, I am four."

Bai Taotao, "Little Bamboo, let\'s go to the black market first!"

Cheng Zhujun nodded, greeted his brother, and led Tao Tao and sisters out of the alley. It was almost seven o\'clock in the night, and there were already twos and threes of people hanging around here with baskets.

Some people even saw peach and pear noodles, so they came over with a basket to sell small commodities, "Little sister, do you want jasmine-scented soap? It\'s cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative..." He also took out A piece of soap wrapped in oil paper and handed to Tao Tao.

Taotao took it and smelled it, and there was indeed a scent of jasmine, so she asked, "How much is this?"

The hawker didn\'t speak, just made a gesture.

Peach:  …

Cheng Zhujun stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

The hawker lost his face, turned around and left without saying a word!

Tao Tao: What happened to @[emailprotected]?

Cheng Zhujun didn\'t say a word, just hugged each other\'s arms and looked at the hawker with determination.

After a while, the hawker came back angrily and waved another gesture towards Cheng Zhujun.

Cheng Zhujun changed his gesture again.

The two went back and forth, like a sign language.

In the end, Cheng Zhujun said in Taotao\'s ear: "I have already agreed a good price. Give him two cents and sixty cents, and he will give you ten pieces of soap."

When Tao Tao first entered the city, she had been squatting in the black market and knew the prices.

In the black market on weekends, the price of soap near the train station is 5 cents, the price of soap at the entrance of the county party committee compound is 6 or 7 cents, and the price of soap in the supply and marketing cooperative is 6 cents with a ticket.

Now, two cents and six can buy ten bars of soap? ? ?

So if you sell it by hand, ten pieces of soap can be sold for at least 50 cents, making a net profit of 24 cents!

Taotao thought about it seriously - although the last time I sold eggs and fish, I made a lot of money, but that was just luck, and it was hard to come by.

Or engage in wholesale sustainable development.

Tao Tao nodded to her sister.

Bai Lili took out a triangle of money and handed it over...

The vendor made another gesture.

Cheng Zhujun said in a low voice, "He said he would not ask for any more money, so he will give you two more pieces of soap."

Tao Tao nodded cheerfully.

So, Tao Tao spent 30 dollars to buy 12 pieces of soap, which is really a good deal!

Next, under the introduction of Cheng Zhujun, Taotao knew the wholesale prices of small daily chemicals such as needles and threads, thimbles, toothbrushes, small scissors, ear scoops, screwdrivers, cotton yarn and cotton thread, and women\'s menstrual belts.

Just, quite surprised.

Later, Taotao didn\'t buy anything anymore, so she discussed with Cheng Zhujun, "If we do business together, how much capital should I pay for you?"

Cheng Zhujun was a little excited, "Two yuan!"

She quickly dialed the abacus in her heart - based on her vision and understanding of the market, a two-dollar product could earn at least 20% in one hand, which is two yuan and forty cents. If you are lucky, you can fall three times a week. No matter how bad it is, it can be poured twice, if it is not compound interest, then simple interest is counted...

Twice a week, she can make eighty cents; three times a week, she can make a dollar or two.

The most important thing is that she lives close by, and it takes half an hour to an hour or so to complete the restocking every night. It doesn\'t affect her doing other odd jobs during the day! If this income can be stabilized, she can earn five yuan a month, and if it is four or six cents, it is two yuan, which is enough to buy medicine for her brother!

Cheng Zhujun\'s mood became urgent.

Tao Tao thought for a while, "Ten dollars!"

Bai Lili was scared to death - Mom only gave her two dollars when she went out! Now Taotao opened her mouth and said ten yuan, but she didn\'t have that much in her pocket.

Cheng Zhujun was overjoyed!

If you have 10 yuan as capital, 20% of the profit, you can earn 4 yuan twice a week; if it is three times a week? That\'s more than six bucks! You can earn twenty dollars a month! With four or six points, she can earn eight yuan! She can improve her and her brother\'s meals! My brother can take care of himself!

Bai Lili was a little anxious, "Peach? Peach..."

Taotao squeezed her sister\'s hand and said to Cheng Zhujun, "However, we will offer three chapters of the law!"

Cheng Zhujun was very excited, "You say it!"

Taotao, "This first, you can\'t touch the ten yuan capital, even if your brother is too sick, you can\'t use my ten yuan!"

Cheng Zhujun bit his lip.

Taotao added, "Secondly, we are five or five cents, and the capital is mine, but I\'m not asking what you\'ve done, half of the money you earn is half of mine."

Cheng Zhujun suddenly became excited again.

In the end, Taotao said, "Thirdly, if you need it urgently, you can embezzle the money from the split account first, as long as you record the account and show it to me. Anyway, the capital of ten yuan is absolutely untouchable!"

——Brother Nansheng spent ten yuan to buy the headband at Cheng Zhujun\'s place. I feel that the lives of Cheng Zhujun\'s sister and brother have not improved much. Therefore, there is a high probability that the ten yuan was directly used by Cheng Zhujun to spend on his younger brother.

Now Taotao has set out the condition that "you can\'t move the capital no matter what", hoping to restrain Cheng Zhujun.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

What\'s more, peach can also get a share of it!

Bai Lili was so anxious that she whispered, "Peach, we don\'t have ten dollars!"

Taotao smiled and took out ten dollars from her pocket and handed it to Cheng Zhujun.

Cheng Zhujun was both surprised and delighted!

Bai Lili\'s eyes widened and she whispered, "Tao Tao, where did you get the money?"

- Tao Tao got the money from her fourth aunt, Li Cuier.

But Tao Tao said, "This is given by Song Zhi."

Bai Lili was silent.

Cheng Zhujun simply cried with joy!

"That\'s great, Taotao, thank you for giving me this opportunity... Then, how can I contact you? How can I share the account with you?" Cheng Zhujun asked.

Bai Taotao thought about it and said, "We live in the countryside, and we don\'t usually have many opportunities to go to the city. So let\'s divide the red once every two months! If you need to find me in a hurry, you can go to the hostel to find Osmanthus. Auntie, ask her to help spread the word."

Cheng Zhujun clutched the money tightly and said excitedly, "Then let me make a receipt for you?"

Tao Tao nodded, "Okay!"

After a pause, Taotao said again: "It\'s getting late, we have to go back first, otherwise my mother should be in a hurry. At this time tomorrow night, we will come to you again... Then I will bring the receipt to you to draw and stamp. By the way, we brought some bamboo rattles and bamboo dragonfly from the countryside, can you think of a way to help sell them? Whatever you ask, we will be seven or three, and I will be seven and three."

Cheng Zhujun doesn\'t care what he sells, as long as he can sell something and make money, it\'s good. So she nodded, "Okay, then I\'ll be waiting for you at the stall tomorrow night!"

Taotao and sister Lizi went back to the guest house.

Fortunately, Tang Liren hasn\'t come back yet.

There is a TV in the dining hall of the guest house, which is playing "The White-Haired Girl".

The last time Taotao followed her family to live in the hostel, because there was no letter of introduction, Aunt Guihua secretly let them in, so Taotao was under the control of her family, and she was not allowed to come to see it from a close distance. He was dragged away by the family after a glance at the stairs.

This time, Taotao dipped in Song Zhi\'s light, had a letter of introduction, and was able to live in the hostel seriously, so she passed the crowd watching TV, walked to the TV, and reached out to touch the screen.

Lili hurriedly chased after her, and while pulling Taotao, she walked back while apologizing to the dozen or so guests who were watching TV, "I\'m sorry! I\'m sorry my sister hasn\'t seen the world..."

In this era, the quality of those who can get a letter of introduction and go out to live in a hostel is not that bad. What\'s more, Tao Tao was born beautifully, her whole body was clean and tidy, and she looked innocent and ignorant.

Everyone just smiled and said nothing.

Tao Tao and her sister were sitting in the dining room watching TV, watching it very seriously. She had never experienced watching TV before, she felt extremely curious, stared at the TV closely, and became fascinated.

After watching the TV, the crowd gradually dispersed, and then take another look——

Are Song Zhi and Tang Liren by her side? ? ?

Taotao was very surprised, "Mom! Song Zhi, when did you come?"

Tang Liren smiled and said, "I called you several times and you didn\'t respond! Are you fascinated by watching a movie?"

Tao Tao was a little puzzled, "What is a movie?"

Song Zhi explained it to her, and Tao Tao understood it, and said enviously, "So that\'s how it is, I haven\'t seen the movie yet!"

Tang Liren, "Don\'t worry, we can watch movies when we get home, but we have to wait until after the autumn harvest!"

Peach is looking forward to it.

Song Zhi touched her head, "Go back to the room early to sleep, it\'s almost eleven o\'clock!" He naturally took Tao Tao\'s hand and led her upstairs.

Tang Liren frowned and stared at Song zhi\'s hand, trying to stop it several times... but held back.

As Taotao walked, she asked Song Zhi what she was doing at the Red Star Factory today and how many days she was going to stay this time.

Song Zhi answered one by one, saying that he would officially go to the factory tomorrow to help them repair the machinery, and it was estimated that it would take three or four days.

Tang Liren, who followed behind, added: "Tao Tao, we can stay for another day at most tomorrow, and we have to leave the day after tomorrow. I\'m afraid that your sister-in-law is going to give birth. I\'m not at home to take care of it, and I feel uneasy!"

Tao Tao nodded, and asked Song Zhi with a worried look, "Then I\'ll go with my mother and sister, are you afraid of staying alone?"

Song Zhi smiled.

——He heard it, Tao Tao has two worries: one is that he is lonely, and the other is that he is not familiar with this environment.

No one had ever cared so much about him.

Song Zhi thought about this question carefully, and answered seriously: "...I\'m still a little scared."

Afraid of being alone, afraid that he will always be left alone.

Tao Tao encouraged him, "Don\'t be afraid, if you are afraid, go to the police." This is what she saw near the train station, with a big red banner on the fence that said "Look for the police to be safe."

After a pause, Taotao said, "We are all waiting for you at home."

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, I\'ll be back as soon as possible."

Tang Li and Bai Lili, look at me, I look at you...

what happened?

It seems that their existence is superfluous?

Taotao and her mother and sister returned to their room, and Lili immediately told Tang Liren that Taotao had spent 300 cents to buy twelve pieces of soap today.

Tang Liren jumped three feet high, "What? Triangular money and twelve yuan soap??? Why don\'t you two buy more?"

Lili talked about Taotao and Cheng Zhujun doing business together again.

Tang Liren frowned, "Tao Tao, where did you get the money?"

Taotao did not shy away and said it straight.

Tang Liren laughed, tears bursting out, "It\'s you, you can still get money from your fourth aunt!"

"It\'s okay... She didn\'t know how much money she took from us, and now you are demanding ten dollars back.

After speaking, Tang Liren explained again, "Tomorrow, I will go see you two together. You are young, so don\'t be deceived!"

Tao Tao yawned, washed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Taotao pestered Song Zhi and wanted to follow him to the factory.

Song Zhi didn\'t object, so he greeted Tang Liren and left with Taotao.

Tao Tao saw the machinery factory for the first time.

Cool……

Simply dirty and messy!

——The spacious workshop is full of grotesquely dressed tin giants, the air smells of rust and oil, and the humming and clacking sounds of most of the machinery are loud.

Someone came up to greet Song Zhi, shaking hands and saying hello, "Song Gong!"

Seeing Tao Tao following Song Zhi, the man looked at Tao Tao and asked, "Song Gong, this is..."

Song zhi kept his tone as flat as possible, "She is my fiancee." His ears were all red when he said this!

Taotao squinted at Song Zhi and said nothing.

The man looked at Tao Tao, his eyes full of surprise.

At this time, someone suddenly called Tao Tao—

When Taotao turned her head, she saw an acquaintance—Cheng Zhujun? ? ?

Cheng Zhujun wore a large, ill-fitting blue uniform, and held a shovel in his hand. Seeing Taotao, Cheng Zhujun ran over, "Tao Tao! Why are you here?"

Song Zhi asked Tao Tao, "Do you know her?"

Taotao nodded, "I met when I was shopping with Sister Lizi yesterday."

At this time, Cheng Zhujun had already run up to Taotao, and the leader of the machinery factory who received Song Zhi told Cheng Zhujun, "Zhu-jun, please entertain someone, this..."

Song Zhi said, "My fiancee\'s name is Bai Taotao."

"Master Zhu, please help entertain Bai Taotao, and take her to the dining hall for dinner at noon!" The leader of the machinery factory gave an order and motioned Song Zhi to hurry to the workshop.

Song Zhi pointed in a direction to Tao Tao, "I\'ll stay there, you can see it when you walk over. This is in the factory, don\'t run around, be careful that the nails on the ground will hurt you... Also, don\'t allow it. Factory, let\'s have lunch together, you know?"

Tao Tao Xin nods her head shyly.

Song Zhi left.

Cheng Zhujun pointed at Song Zhi\'s back and asked Tao Tao, "Tao Tao, is he your fiancé?"

"He\'s my brother." Tao Tao said.

Song Zhi, who hadn\'t gone far, paused and looked back at Tao Tao.

Tao Tao has not paid attention to him, and is asking Cheng Zhujun, "Why are you here?"

Cheng Zhujun said with a smile: "My dad used to work here. It\'s not that I\'m not old enough to take his job, so I usually come here to do odd jobs and earn three meals a day. By the way, I heard the factory manager shout. Your brother Song Gong, is he an engineer?"

Tao Tao, "I don\'t understand either."

Tao Tao was wandering around the factory building, Cheng Zhujun accompanied her, and when she saw what she was interested in, she explained it, and then picked up the nails and spare parts scattered on the ground.

I heard that this factory produces electric fan movements? Of course also do some other motors.

Taotao ran to see Song Zhi again.

——Song Zhi was surrounded by twenty or thirty workers, explaining and operating a machine. Everyone bent down, stretched their necks and watched.

Cheng Zhujun sighed, "Your brother must be very powerful... Because the machine he was playing with has been broken for a long time, and no one in the factory can repair it, but if you don\'t repair this thing, it will affect our factory.
