Chapter 273 No choice
More than two months later.
Chen Tao, his wife, children and Xiaodang ended their trip to a foreign country.
They first returned to Hong Kong Island to recuperate, then flew to the capital. On the afternoon of the frost day, they returned to the Beast Compound after a long absence.
Even though it's Tuesday, not all beasts have to go to work.
Therefore, when Chen Tao entered from the east gate garage and opened the main door from the inside, many beasts surrounded him.
They are there to join in the fun, not to ask for gifts.
After all, they knew very well that Chen Tao would not come back with gifts for them.
In fact, because Chen Tao was so stingy and stingy, they secretly labeled him as "unkind for the sake of wealth."
However, Chen Tao is a beast like them, so why would he mind this hat?
Chen Tao went out with the child in his arms, planning to visit Lao Yi, while Miss Xue and Xiao Dang stayed at home to clean.
They haven't been back for more than two months, and a lot of dust has fallen into the house. They should have to clean it up for a while.
Yi family.
Qin Jingru went out to work, and Yi Guoqing also had to go to school, so he had to let an adulterer from the countryside without a serious job take care of Yi Zhonghai.
To everyone's expectation, the adulterer did not just do the job perfunctorily, but was very dedicated.
In this way, everyone completely believed the so-called "gang-up" theory.
The adulterer thinks clearly.
This old dog Yi won't live long, but his good days are yet to come.
So before Yi Laogou rushes to the street, he has to establish a good reputation first, so that when the other party dies, he can legitimately take over everything of the other party.
Yi Zhonghai also understood this, so he did not resist, but pretended to be desperate, and relieved his vigilance while accepting the adulterer's service with peace of mind.
He just hopes that one day, he can stand up again, and then ruthlessly take revenge on this bitch and man who deserved to be killed a thousand times.
Of course, if he could not recover, then all this calculation would be in vain, and he could only cry with regret and unwillingness.
Chen Tao entered Yi's house, nodded to the adulterer, and then went to see Lao Yi in the room.
After seeing Chen Tao, Lao Yi's cloudy old eyes lit up at first, and then quickly dimmed to avoid being noticed by the adulterer who followed him.
Without Qin Jingru's instructions, the adulterer would naturally guard against outsiders having too much contact with Lao Yi.
Especially beware of Aunt Yi.
Aunt Yi actually didn't mind, but was happy and relaxed, because she no longer cared about Lao Yi as much as before.
She couldn't care, after all, Lao Yi still had a wife, so she couldn't cross the line.
As for her future pension, there is no need to worry too much. The deaf old lady let her live in her own house, and said that she would not transfer the house to Shazhu until she died. The purpose was to let Shazhu provide for her in her old age.
"Lao Yi, I am Lao He, do you still recognize me?"
Chen Tao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Yi Zhonghai's eyes.
"..."
Yi Zhonghai closed his eyes and said he didn't recognize him.
The adulterer laughed heartily.
"Alas"
Chen Tao let out a long sigh and stood up with the child in his arms.
After all, Lao Yi doesn't even know him, so what else can he say?
"Take good care of Lao Yi, do you know?"
Chen Tao warned the adulterer.
"Well, don't worry, Uncle He, I will definitely take good care of him."
The adulterer patted his chest in assurance.
He also knew Chen Tao's reputation, so he didn't dare to neglect him.
After coming out of Lao Yi's house, Chen Tao did not go home and interfere with the two women's work. Instead, he went directly out of the compound to buy ingredients.
***
at dusk.
The beasts come home from get off work.
After Huaihua pushed her bicycle into the middle courtyard, she saw Grandpa He cooking in the shed outside. She cheered and walked quickly over.
"Grandpa He Why did you come back just now? It's been more than two months, and I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
Now that the weather is getting cooler, this girl is wearing a shirt underneath, a coat outside, and a single ponytail. She looks neat and tidy, like a famous teacher.
"It's only been more than two months, why don't I want you anymore? I didn't come back for more than half a year before, and I didn't see you say that."
Chen Tao kept talking with his mouth and hands.
"It was before! Now this girl is thinking about being your secretary, so she is naturally looking forward to your return."
Xiaodang came over and joked with a smile.
This trip to a foreign country not only shocked Teacher Xue, but also completely subverted her outlook on life.
In her eyes, the Jia family and the courtyard were completely gone, only Grandpa He who made her admire her.
Her future should not be in a sloppy courtyard, fussing over a little money.
Instead, you should wake up from the bedroom of a luxurious villa, open the window, feel the oncoming sea breeze, and admire the sea view at sunrise; then dress up in a happy mood, pick out some beautiful clothes, and enjoy A hearty breakfast; after the meal, choose a good car to go to the company, why grandpa handles the affairs.
During the holidays, go shopping with friends, go out on a yacht, or fly abroad for vacation...
Xiaodang was completely devastated. As long as Grandpa He could give her such a good life, what did the Cricket Jia family and relatives mean to them?
She wants to live for herself.
"Yes, I just want to be Grandpa He's secretary and do things for him. Is there anything wrong with that? How good he is to me? I must repay him!"
After taking a look at her sister, whose temperament had become fashionable and confident, Huaihua felt as if her jealousy had been overturned.
"Well, Sophora japonica is so good. You can resign from school tomorrow! You can learn from your sister for a while. When you gain experience, I will let you take charge on your own."
Chen Tao is currently still writing novels and will also be invited to compose music, so he has a lot of work and needs someone to help with some auxiliary work.
As for Hong Kong Island, Chen Tao has completed accumulation, so his current investment strategy is long-term value investment. Before the 1987 stock market crash, he did not need to pay frequent attention.
In addition, Lou Xiaoe is also in charge of the investment group he cooperates with the Lou family, so he doesn't need to worry.
And with his "forward vision", Lou Xiao'e will only win small, medium and big wins, and will never lose everything.
Even if he loses all his money, it won't matter. After all, Chen Tao's "forward vision" will be effective until the 1970s.
You don’t even need to have such a vision. If you don’t consider liquidity, then if you close your eyes and buy a house in Beijing or Shanghai in this era, you will get huge returns in the future.
All in all, Chen Tao had to think about making money in the last world, but in this world, he doesn't have to worry about it. He can just stay with the beasts safely.
Seeing Grandpa He arranging her arrangements, Huaihua was immediately elated. She looked at her sister happily and proudly, and said in a disgusted voice:
"Thank you, Grandpa He"
Chen Tao chuckled and said, "You can eat at my place tonight as your first working meal."
Sophora japonica responded sweetly, with a bright smile on her face...
Chen Tao sincerely hopes that she can maintain such a good mood after being exposed to the core work content.
Xiaodang thought so too.
She felt that when the time came, she might have to help and guide her sister... How outrageous!
After dinner, Xiaodang and Huaihua watched TV with Miss Xue for a while, and then returned to Jia's... temporary house.
Qin Huairu was very angry. She really didn't want to see these two white-eyed wolves, but she couldn't help but see them.
9:30 p.m.
Qin Huairu took the initiative to see her two daughters.
"Xiao Dang, why don't you come over to see me when you're back?"
Qin Huairu asked dissatisfiedly.
"I haven't been back for two months. I have a lot of things on my hands. I have to hurry up and get the work done before I have time to talk to you and grandma."
Xiaodang is very skillful in using the excuse of being busy at work to excuse his mother.
"Yes, sister is very busy. Mom, if you have nothing to do, just talk to her again in two days!"
Huaihua also helped Xiaodang speak up. She and her sister are now on the same side.
Especially after hearing what her sister said about what she saw and heard, her attitude became even more determined!
"Sophora huaihua! You go out first, I have something to talk to your sister."
Qin Huairu pointed to the door and said.
"Mom, I also have something important to tell you! Grandpa He asked me to resign from school tomorrow and work with my sister."
Sophora japonica smiled.
"real?"
The corners of Qin Huairu's lips curled up slightly, and she was obviously a little happy.
Because Sophora japonica has promised to benefit her as a mother.
"Of course it's true! Grandpa He always means what he says..."
After saying that, Huaihua looked at Xiaodang and saw that she was immersed in reading the letters, as if she didn't want to pay attention to her mother, and she immediately lost interest in continuing to chat.
She can no longer be idle, she has to work hard, otherwise Grandpa He will only fall in love with her sister even more.
"Since Grandpa He has agreed, then you should follow him and work hard, and don't be so indifferent to work like now."
Qin Huairu warned.
"I understand. I will learn to do things from my sister now. Mom, please go back first!"
Huaihua said as she took a stool and sat next to her sister to study.
Qin Huairu's attention returned to her eldest daughter, and she said angrily:
"Xiao Dang! Can't you spare a few minutes? Do you still think of me as your mother?"
Xiaodang hummed twice: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I'm listening!"
Qin Huairu shouted: "What is your attitude?"
Xiaodang said calmly: "Mom, can you be considerate of me? I really have a lot of things on my hands. If I don't hurry up, I won't be able to do anything tomorrow, and Grandpa He will definitely be unhappy. You'd better go back first!" "
Qin Huairu snorted heavily: "You are afraid that Grandpa He will be unhappy, aren't you afraid that Mom will be unhappy?"
Xiaodang sighed: "Of course I don't want to make you unhappy, but I can't help it. I must fulfill Grandpa He's request, otherwise he can replace him at any time."
Huaihua understood that the so-called Grandpa He's request was not just about work, but also included not being able to support their family.
Qin Huairu said bitterly: "Then you mean, for the sake of your future, you can disown me and your brother?"
Xiaodang said coldly: "If you insist on forcing me to choose one of the two, then I have no choice."
Qin Huairu almost fainted. She gasped with a dark face and said, "I was so kind to you in vain!"
Xiaodang's face was expressionless: "Then why don't you continue to be nice to me? Did you treat me well before just so that I could repay you? I have already repaid you, and you should go to my brother to repay you now!"
Although Huaihua remained silent, she was supporting her sister in her heart.
After all, it would be her turn soon.
