Donghai City has changed a lot.

Before Tang Ao joined the army, there was not even a building with more than six floors here.

But now, there are buildings with more than 30 floors, not to mention six floors.

Of course, housing prices are also rising.

Tang Ao's money in his pocket is cleaner than his face now, so he doesn't need to consider this issue at all.

But not considering it now does not mean that he will not consider it in the future.

He is a man and has his own ideals.

Being a driver and bodyguard for Su Feifei is definitely not his ideal.

His ideal is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea.

Of course, if you want to achieve your ideal, you must take one step at a time.

You can't become a fat man in one bite.

Since I took off my military uniform, I naturally have to forget the past and start from scratch.

He followed the map and carefully remembered every place in Donghai City.

It lasts until five o'clock in the afternoon.

At five o'clock, Shen Ling called him.

"Brother, do you go home for dinner tonight? If you eat, I will go home early to cook." Shen Ling asked.

"I won't go back. I'll treat you to a big meal tonight." Tang Ao replied.

"What's wrong? Are you getting rich? Could it be that you bought a lottery and won the jackpot?" Shen Ling asked half-jokingly.

"Not this. But today someone is really here to give me money. Tell me, where do you want to eat?" Tang Ao asked.

"Why go to the barbecue stall outside the community. I've eaten there several times before, and it feels pretty good." Shen Ling discussed.

"Okay. Then I'll go there now. When will you go there?" Tang Ao asked.

"I'll arrive in about half an hour." Shen Ling replied.

"Okay. See you later."

Then, Tang Ao rode his bike towards the location where Tianyue Community is located.

When he arrived at the entrance of the community, he found that Shen Ling was already waiting there.

"Brother!" Shen Ling saw him and stepped forward to say hello.

"I thought I could arrive earlier than you. Which barbecue stall?" Tang Ao asked with a smile.

"To the east, not far from here. Let's go over." Shen Ling pointed not far away and said.

The two of them came to the barbecue stall talking and laughing.

The owner of the barbecue stall looks fifty years old, and there is a trace of white hair vaguely between his temples.

He saw Shen Ling and said hello.

"Boyfriend?" The stall owner glanced at Tang Ao and asked Shen Ling.

"No. He is my brother. He just came back from another place." Shen Ling shook her head and replied.

After hearing her answer, the stall owner smiled at Tang Ao and said, "You guys find a place to sit first."

Shen Ling took Tang Ao's hand and found an empty table and sat down.

A girl of similar age to Shen Ling came over, holding a pot of tea and two sets of tableware in her hand, and put it on the table.

"Sister, what do you want to eat tonight?" the girl asked with a smile at them.

"Brother, please order." Shen Ling said.

"No need. You are familiar with this place, please order." Tang Ao shook his head and said.

Seeing him say this, Shen Ling stopped giving in and starting to make some things.

"Ten skewers of lean meat! Ten skewers of five flowers! Ten skewers of crisp bones! Five horse stairs fish! Two grilled chicken heads! One grilled leek." Shen Ling clicked here and asked Tang Ao: "Brother, what are you drinking?"

"Do you drink it? If you drink it, you will need a few more bottles. If you don't drink it, I will just drink two bottles." Tang Ao said.

"I can't drink. Then I'll just have two bottles." Shen Ling said.

The girl wrote down the things she ordered on paper and sent them to the stall owner.

Soon, the baked goods were delivered one after another.

"Brother, I'll eat these. The rest are all yours." Shen Ling put two grilled chicken heads and a skewer of grilled leeks in front of her and said.

"You just eat this little? Are you trying to lose weight?" Tang Ao asked with a smile.

"No. I've eaten less at night." Shen Ling shook her head and said.

Seeing her say this, Tang Ao stopped asking questions. He picked up a skewer of roasted pork belly and took a bite, then took a sip of beer.

"Brother, can you come out to have a meal when you are in the army?" Shen Ling asked.

"You can come out once in a while." Tang Ao replied.

"Is that right? That's OK. I thought I couldn't come out." Shen Ling said this, paused for a moment, and then asked, "How do you feel when you go to work on the first day?"

"improvise."

"If you feel that your work is not going well, you can change your job." Shen Ling said.

"No. No matter what, I have to work here for a year." Tang Ao shook his head and said.

"One year? You must have signed a contract, right?" Shen Ling guessed.

"Yes. You are so smart." Tang Ao glanced at her and smiled.

"Then there is nothing I can do. I'll talk about it after a year." Shen Ling said.

"Well. A year is very short, and it passed in a flash." Tang Ao said.

"Brother, after dinner later. You go home first, I have to be a tutor." Shen Ling said.

"When is the time to come back?" Tang Ao asked.

"It ends at half past nine. It's almost ten o'clock when I get home." Shen Ling replied.

"So late?" Tang Ao frowned.

"It's okay. I have to attend classes during the day and I don't have time." Shen Ling said.

"Where are you tutoring? I'll pick you up when I get off work." Tang Ao thought for a while and said.

"Shanshui Longyuan Community. You don't have to pick me up. I'll just take the bus back." Shen Ling waved her hand and said.

"I am your brother. I have the final say." Tang Ao said.

Seeing him showing a serious look, Shen Ling nodded.

"Or don't be a tutor and study with peace of mind. I'll give you my support," said Tang Ao.

"No. Really no. I have grown up and can support myself." Shen Ling said quickly.

"Little little, when you were just sent to the orphanage, you were still in your infancy. I watched you grow up. In my heart, you are like your own sister. If possible, I don't want you to work after graduating from college." Tang Ao said.

"What should I do if I don't graduate from college?" Shen Ling asked with a warm heart.

"Study for a postgraduate student, a master's degree student, a doctoral student, and a postdoctoral student in the workstation." Tang Ao said seriously.

"No? Then after I read it, wouldn't I be in my thirties? Who would dare to marry me then? Brother, have you never heard of that joke? The female graduate student is Li Mochou, and the female doctoral student is Master Mie Jue. The postdoctoral student is no longer described." Shen Ling smiled.

"That's just a joke after all, not a fact. I have also met some female doctoral students, and many of their husbands are also doctoral students. Both of them teach in colleges or in scientific research institutions. If you are young, my brother went to the army after graduating from high school, and never went to college. For me, this is a pity. Now that you are in college, if possible, continue to study. You don't have to worry about the tuition fee, I will help you solve it." Tang Aoyu said earnestly.

"Okay. I didn't plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination at the beginning. Since you said that, I will start reviewing my homework from tomorrow and strive to get into a public-funded graduate student." Shen Ling nodded and said.

"With your words, I will feel relieved. When you get admitted to graduate school, I will hold a banquet in the best hotel in Donghai City to celebrate!" Tang Ao said.

"Let's talk about it then." Shen Ling smiled slightly and said.
Chapter completed!
