Sophie was about to nod when she complained again, "Oh, you really are too!"
"If you want to see Uncle Mo, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"I didn't even change my clothes!"
I don’t know why, but when I think about meeting Uncle Mo later, I feel no less stressed than when I go to the Zhao family to meet the parents for the first time.
Zhao Dong said softly: "No need, just be generous and decent."
"Besides, my wife is so good, she can take action against anyone she meets!"
Sophie didn't appreciate it and complained: "But...but I didn't even prepare a gift!"
Zhao Dong waved his hand, "No need. You don't know Lao Mo's temper. He doesn't like those who are vain. If you go empty-handed, he will definitely be happy!"
Sophie glared, "You are you, and I am me. Besides, it's the first time I've come to visit you. How can it be the same?"
Zhao Dong was also joking.
If he goes there alone, it will definitely be okay if he doesn't prepare a gift.
But it is definitely not appropriate to bring Sophie to your home empty-handed.
Passing by a shopping mall, Sophie quickly got out of the car.
Zhao Dong is not worried about gifts or anything like that.
With Sophie's vision and level, she definitely knows what to give.
Taking advantage of this time, he dialed a number, "Hello, Brother Fang!"
The person on the phone teased, "Why did you remember to call me, kid?"
Zhao Dong said politely, "By the way, I'm going to see Lao Mo tonight. Is he at home today?"
The explanation on the phone was, "Wait for me."
After saying that, the phone was silent for a short time, and he quickly replied: "The boss said, just bring Miss Su over to him, don't buy anything else!"
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, someone will definitely bring it and let Lao Mo prepare some good wine and food. I haven't eaten yet!"
The reply on the phone was, "Okay, call me when you get off the toll station and I'll pick you up."
After hanging up the phone, Sophie also walked back with the gift, "I'm pressed for time and don't have time to prepare anything. Can you see if it suits me?"
Zhao Dong took it and looked down to see wine, tea, and Tianzhou's local specialties.
The items are not expensive and just right.
As he opened the trunk, he said, "That's enough. If I buy more, I'll feel bad."
Sophie punched her fist and said, "Really, are there people like you?"
"By the way, does Uncle Mo like to play chess?"
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "I like it, but it's just a bad chess piece!"
Sophie tugged at it and said, "Then you can send me back. I have a chess set at home. I collected it a few years ago. I heard it is a treasure of a certain master. It is quite old. Uncle Mo might like it."
Zhao Dong waved his hand, "Okay, forget about chess. It would be a waste for you to give him such a good thing!"
Sophie was speechless and couldn't control Zhao Dong.
…
Chatting along the way, time passed quickly.
When they arrived in the provincial capital, as soon as they left the toll station, Zhao Dong dialed the phone and said, "Brother Fang, I'm here."
Brother Fang said with a smile, "It's almost time. I'm waiting outside the toll station. I'll turn on the double flashers and you'll see me when you come out!"
Zhao Dong hung up the phone and as soon as he left the toll station, he saw someone.
Brother Fang waved over and motioned for Zhao Dong to follow.
Two cars entered the city one behind the other.
Sophie was surprised, "Zhao Dong, you can't find your way to the provincial capital, why do you need someone to pick you up?"
Zhao Dong explained, "I can find the road, but I can't find Lao Mo's house."
Sophie was stunned, "What are you talking about? You haven't been to Uncle Mo's house either?"
Zhao Dong nodded, "Yes, I haven't been there."
Sophie couldn't understand, "You have such a good relationship with Uncle Mo, how come you haven't been to his house?"
Zhao Dong explained, "Uncle Mo is not from here. He has been working in other provinces in the past few years."
"When I was young, he always brought my aunt to Tianzhou to visit me. It was only in the past two years that I moved to the provincial capital."
"It's just that I was serving as a soldier at that time and didn't have time to visit."
"After I retired from the army, there were a lot of things again."
"No, just like you, this is my first time visiting you!"
Sophie smiled bitterly, feeling that the amount of information was a bit large. When her eyes fell on the car in front, she suddenly froze again.
An old Audi A6, it’s a useless car, it’s everywhere on the street.
It's just that the license plate is a bit special, it's a small number from a provincial capital.
It’s not like Sophie has never seen the world before, so her intuition is wrong.
She was full of curiosity, "Zhao Dong, who is Uncle Mo, and you haven't asked him yet? He said he was in business, and you really believed him?"
Zhao Dong scratched his head, "I wasn't sensible before and I really didn't think about it. In recent years, I felt something was wrong and I didn't bother to ask."
The atmosphere became quiet.
Sophie rarely came to the provincial capital and looked out the window.
However, the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong. The traffic on the roadside was getting less and less, the green plants were getting denser, and all kinds of units were visible.
Just as he was wondering, a large courtyard was right in front of him.
It gives people inexplicable pressure without waiting for them to get closer.
She swallowed hard and pointed, "Zhao Dong... don't tell me that Uncle Mo lives here!"
Zhao Dong also looked up, and the sign on the door made him a little surprised.
However, thinking about his recent experiences, he didn't seem too surprised.
The car in front stopped and a guard came up to ask.
After a few words of conversation, the guard approached.
When Zhao Dong lowered the window, he saluted and said, "Hello, please show me the relevant documents!"
As a routine rule, you can only be released after registration.
Zhao Dong's mood was touched by the familiar procedures and regulations.
Especially when he saw the other party's salute, he also saluted accordingly.
The standard of movement, angle, amplitude, speed, everything is exactly the same.
The guard was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Dong with a hint of cordiality.
Register and release.
Two cars entered one after the other.
The roadside is lined with green trees and quiet.
Sophie turned her head and stared at Zhao Dong's side face in a daze.
Zhao Dong rubbed her head, "What are you looking at?"
Sophie stared, "Oh, it's so annoying, it's messing up other people's hairstyles!"
She straightened her hair and then asked: "Zhao Dong, your salute just now was so handsome!"
Zhao Dong rarely sighed, "It's nothing, I just remembered some memories."
Sophie was stunned, "Memories?"
Zhao Dong took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I have stood on guard duty before and was struck by the scene."
Before Sophie could ask further questions, the car in front stopped.
Zhao Dong had just opened the trunk, and Brother Fang had already followed him, "Didn't I tell you not to buy anything?"
Zhao Dong was speechless, "Do you think I want to buy it?"
"My wife insisted, saying it would be impolite to come to the house empty-handed."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to spend this money!"
Brother Fang helped carry the things and joked with a smile, "You brat!"
Zhao Dong closed the trunk and looked up, "Okay, Lao Mo hid it deep enough, Brother Fang, you are not interesting enough, you didn't even tell me!"
Brother Fang smiled and said, "Don't look at me. The boss has not allowed me to tell you. You can ask him yourself when you see him later."
Sophie got out of the car, perhaps because of the environment, her aura and momentum had completely subsided.
He held Zhao Dong's arm obediently and followed him beside him. Even walking became much quieter.
While walking, a figure walked out quickly and said with a hearty smile: "You brat, didn't you just marry a beautiful wife?"
"You can hide it with just one look at the treasure, but are you willing to bring it out?"
