1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 560 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind
Sanmiao Street.

In the north room of the courtyard.

Luo Tao sat on the chair with a solemn expression, his eyes were as bright as fire, and he glanced at a photo of a portrait from a foreign country in his hand, seeming to be deep in thought without saying a word.

After a few seconds, he slowly took out the lighter from his pocket, lit it, and watched quietly as the photo turned into ashes between his fingers.

The heat produced by burning could not make Luo Tao put down the photo.

In the end everything returns to dust, dust to dust, even the envelope that comes with it returns to flames.

Xu Le's expression was equally dignified, but he was not idle standing aside, with quick eyesight and quick hands, dealing with the ashes left on the ground after the photos and envelopes were burned.

After he finished handling these matters, he asked: "Brother, what should I do with that money?"

Luo Tao squinted his eyes at this time, like a middle-aged uncle who had not woken up.

Without any hesitation, I asked him in confusion: "What money?"

Xu Le was stunned for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, he smiled and said, "Well, look at my memory. I always get things mixed up. The money has already arrived."

Xu Le now knows Luo Tao better than Zhu Lin. From the moment he raises his hands and raises his feet...

You know what to say and what not to say, as long as the meaning comes to you, there is no need to go out of your way to express it.

"Okay." Two simple words brought an important event to an end.

He then expressed concern: "You have been quite tired for a while. If you have nothing to do during this period, go home and spend time with your wife. You will also go to Xiangjiang in early July.

It may take a little longer this time, so be prepared..."

The matter is over, so there is no need to waste more words on it.

Luo Tao immediately changed the subject and talked to him about his upcoming trip south.

Half an hour later, Luo Tao left Sanmiao Street slowly and leisurely on his bicycle alone.

He has been here, and he has never been here.

Yuhui stretched his figure very long, and from a distance he looked like a living shadow puppet without a soul, walking through the streets.

He went all the way north.

He didn't know how many streets he passed before he met a Xicheng aunt who took the initiative to say hello to him.

Only then did he wake up from his meditation.

After chatting with my aunt for a few more words, I continued on my way home with a smile on my face.

……

After this incident, the reputation of Xichang and Luo Tao reached an unprecedented height.

Newspapers at home and abroad are rushing to report it. Chinese people say "benevolence" and foreigners say "compassion".

No matter what they said, they all had to admire Luo Tao's mind.

In mid-June, after everything went smoothly, everything returned to normal.

After asking about the filming situation of the documentary, Luo Tao once again automatically returned to his pastoral life.

"Girl, come here and let daddy see what you are holding in your hand?"

Luo Tao, who was at home when he had nothing to do, encountered a little girl mysteriously sneaking out of the main hall as soon as he went out, and was about to rush to her residence in the west wing.

Suddenly being called by Luo Tao, she looked embarrassed and felt extremely aggrieved. She secretly wondered why she was so miserable. She just happened to be caught by her father by chance.

The little girl's face changed quickly. She turned her face and smiled at Luo Tao, with her hands behind her back.

"Dad, what do you want me to do?"

Luo Tao pretended not to agree with her at all, and said with a straight face: "What are you doing behind your hands? Let me take a look."

Luo Tao looked serious and inquisitive, and in the eyes of the little girl, he was a bad guy.

Her smile immediately dropped, her mouth pouted, and she was unhappy, but she still stretched out her hand behind her back.

"Hey! Didn't you eat one today? Why did you take another one?"

He saw that she didn't reply, but looked unhappy, looking at the pomegranate tree on her left in a depressed manner, with a dark cloud-like suffocation coming from her nose.

Luo Tao didn't tolerate her either, so he snatched the popsicle away with a straight face.

"My father confiscated this one. I want to eat it tomorrow. How many times did your mother say that children can't eat these all the time. Be careful that your two rows of teeth that just grew out are eaten away by insects."

Luo Tao said the most dangerous thing in the world in the calmest tone.

She turned to look at Luo Tao, and the chubby finger pointed at her two rows of corn teeth.

"Dad, please see that my teeth are still there. Mom is lying."

How could this be a lie?

As ordinary people, we still have to listen to what doctors say.

However, Luo Tao still agreed with his daughter's words in his heart. He had never heard of anyone losing his teeth after eating popsicles.

However, this rule of eating only one popsicle a day was set by the queen of the family. The girl can break it, but Luo Tao must not ignore it after seeing it.

It is true that neither mother nor daughter are easy to mess with. Last time Luo Tao helped the little girl cover up, but the next day the girl sold Luo Tao.

If we catch her today, we will take care of her both publicly and privately.

Otherwise, his status in the family would really be inferior to that of a cat or dog.

"I'll tell your mother when she comes back." Luo Tao pretended to tell the truth.

"Girl, today..."

Before she finished speaking, the little girl quickly took Luo Tao's hand and shouted, "Daddy is long, daddy is short."

Seeing that Luo Tao still looked like he was going to tell the truth, he also started to be generous. He actually dragged Luo Tao into her room and took out all the snacks she had hidden as a bribe.

"Hey, girl, why do you hide so much food in your clothes..."

Her cotton and thin clothes were filled to the brim with pockets.

Seeing so many snacks, the popsicles in my hand that I had just stolen suddenly lost their flavor.

The little girl was quite proud and whispered to Luo Tao that she got it from his brother's house.

Luo Tao was once again shocked by his daughter. This little kid who was only four years old actually played like a mantis chasing cicadas, with the oriole behind.

It’s impossible not to believe in genes!

"You are so clever, be careful if your brother finds out and he beats you up."

"I'm not afraid of him!"

This made her say it very confidently, as if her brother, Xiao October, had something in her hands.

"Yo! I'm so patient again."

She was quite proud when she heard the compliment from her father, "Well, I get all my brother's snacks for him."

Oops!These two brothers and sisters are really smarter than the other.

What Luo Tao heard was music.

After saying a few words to her, the little girl didn't know when her eyes stared at the popsicle in Luo Tao's hand again.

This popsicle is the favorite of children in summer.

Especially the little girl, she is definitely a popsicle fan. She loved to eat them when she had no teeth. This is even more amazing when she is older.

With her love for popsicles, she may very well open an ice cream factory in the future.Barbie dolls and chocolates are now on the sidelines in her eyes.

Luo Tao held the popsicle that was about to turn into water. He lost his principles and immediately made a small hole in the packaging bag.

The little girl was so happy, dancing around the room with the popsicle bag in her mouth.

Luo Tao regretted seeing this, this girl was so cheating.

Other people's children are so pleasing to the eye, but when it comes to my own daughter dancing, why...

Ugh!
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have a talent for literature or art, Luo Tao can only comfort himself in this way if it is too easy to develop into a “noble circle”.

……

"Uncle, when will the comrade you mentioned last time come to Beijing?"

During the Chinese New Year, Su Ping told Luo Tao about this matter. He said that a comrade of his had encountered some difficulties in life when he arrived and asked if he could be given a job in the company.

Luo Tao agreed without thinking and would come to work whenever he wanted.

The matter was settled, but a few months later, his comrade still didn't come.

Luo Tao asked casually.

"Well, he originally planned to come to Beijing after the [-]th, but he didn't expect that there was an accident at his family, and his seriously ill father passed away after the [-]th. After that, he was too embarrassed to come to Beijing. trouble."

When Su Ping talked about what happened in this man's family, he obviously felt a little bit the same way. It seemed that he had an unusual relationship with this comrade.

"Oh."

Then he said: "Uncle, this person must be very close to you!"

Hearing what Luo Tao said, he didn't shy away from anything, "Yes, he was my soldier before, and then he served as my guard for more than a year... and he even saved me when we were fighting against the Japanese in far Xinjiang. One life.”

"What! He saved your life?"

This news shocked Luo Tao. You must know that Yuanjiang is...

I must repay others for saving my life.

Su Ping told Luo Tao the story between them in detail.

"... At that critical moment, if he hadn't thrown me down to protect me, your uncle and I would have been lying in the Gobi desert to feed the eagles..."

"Ahem, look at what you said, you are in a catastrophic situation and you will definitely have good fortune in the future."

Luo Tao knew that his uncle Su Ping was not like what some people said. When fighting, he was always smarter than others and only appeared on the battlefield at the most suitable time.

The name of beauty is called "smart person".

Su Ping had a Jianghu spirit before he joined the army. He had been loyal since he was a child, otherwise he would not have become the first stubborn leader in the capital after liberation.

If there is no such thing, it is impossible for the later Luo Tao to mix into the circle of recalcitrant masters.

"Ahem, what kind of future blessings can I have? They all worked hard for their future blessings, and I just benefited from them.

...I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me, but when it comes to luck, I do have it.

Although your grandparents passed away early, I have a good sister, your mother. Without your mother to raise me, I don’t know if your uncle and I would be alive today.

Later, your mother married your father. When I first entered this small courtyard, to be honest, I felt like I was dreaming. "

As he spoke, he looked at the small courtyard and recalled the memories of when he first came here as a boy.

"Ahem, it's like a dream. Although the old man didn't like me very much later, he was your uncle and my noble man. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am now if he asked me to join the army."

"...Then I met my old leader, who trained me from a soldier to a qualified commander...and married your aunt...and later was saved by Liang Chao.

Do you think I have met only good people in my life? "

From this point of view, it is not as simple as meeting a good person. This is definitely a bribe to God, otherwise there would be such a good fate.

"The people you meet are all good people, but the premise is that you are also a good person, so you can meet them."

Su Ping, who was flattered by Luo Tao, laughed loudly.

Pointing at Luo Tao, he was speechless for a long time.

The flattery of this nephew is naturally more amusing and useful than the flattery of his subordinate.

"Uncle, how old is Liang Chao this year? Didn't you implement the work for him when he returned to the place?"

"He is 25 this year, a few years younger than you."

Why do these words sound so awkward?

“After he returned to his place of origin, the local government assigned him a job, but he had a seriously ill father and two children of mine who were waiting to be fed.

What use can his little salary do? "

The reason why a man is called a man is that he does bear a lot in the big family of society.

“I also send him a little money every month, but this is a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the fundamental problem.

His father's illness is like a needle hanging on his head, which must be hung carefully..."

If you have a fatal disease, no matter how much money you have, it will be in vain.

Money can indeed hang on your life, but it can't save your life either.

Listening to Su Ping's story, Luo Tao felt very sympathetic to this young man who was several years younger than him.

"Uncle, you can ask him again when you have time to see if he can come to Beijing. I really need someone by my side."

After hearing this, Su Ping didn't know what Luo Tao was paying attention to, but he knew that Luo Tao didn't have any bad intentions in doing this.

But he still asked: "Isn't there Xu Le beside you?"

"Aren't Zhu Lin and I planning to take the whole family to Xiangjiang by the beginning of next month? We may have to stay for a while this time, and no one at home is watching..."

Su Ping cast a resentful look and said, "Well, you kid will still enjoy it. If you stay in the mainland for a long time, go to the bustling Xiangjiang.

I don’t know when I can go to Xiangjiang? "

This meaning is too obvious. If Luo Tao doesn't understand it, he will definitely be a stick.

"Don't you have a heavy workload? When you are old and young, I will have to show my respect to my nephew."

This was said beautifully, and Su Ping was happy to hear it.

What he said just now was just a joke. Even if he could go now, he wouldn't go.

An institutional staff member with a strong sense of responsibility will not care about eating, drinking, or having fun.

“As long as you have the intention.

As for Liang Chao, don't worry, I will definitely let him report to you, a big capitalist, here before you leave Beijing. "

Uncle Su Ping is a person who can see the situation clearly, and he also clearly feels that today's society has gradually undergone major changes.

He also knew that it would be much better for Liang Chao to work under his nephew than if he didn't know anything about it in his hometown.

Luo Tao wanted Liang Chao to come to Beijing so much, which had something to do with his uncle Su Ping, but what he valued more was Liang Chao's qualities.

In particular, he wanted to find someone who could "take care of the home", which was tantamount to handing over his worth to this person.

The selection of such an important person naturally depends not only on force, but also on virtue and loyalty.
