Before he finished speaking, a burst of thunder suddenly came from outside.
Later, the rain that had already started in the ancient town was blown to Yunmiao Village.
Listening to the sound of rain outside, Xu Hongdou was inevitably worried about when the rain would stop and what that guy was doing...
He was caught in the rain yesterday and felt a little uncomfortable in his throat after returning to the courtyard.
I don’t know if the hot ginger soup overnight helped him blow away the cold, or if this guy pretended to have nothing to do in the morning and chatted for a long time with Aunt Agui.
Worried, Xu Hongdou turned her head and looked at the raindrops outside.
Xie Zhiyao also stopped what he was doing, and quickly came to the terrace with a trace of worry. The playground outside was empty. Looking into the distance, except for the river, which was still clearly visible, the trees in the distance were all empty.
It seems a little blurry.
The rain was heavy and fast, but fortunately Uncle Deqing had been prepared and led the horses back to the stables in advance.
"When the rain subsides, I will take you back."
Xie Zhiyao walked back to the office, saw the anxious look on Xu Hongdou's face, and said softly.
Xu Hongdou frowned and nodded. She didn't care about the length of the journey, but she didn't want to get her clothes wet. In such rain, the umbrella she brought was indeed a bit overwhelming.
"What's going on with the Shaohua Bookstore you just mentioned?"
Xie Zhiyao sat down again, picked up the coffee, pursed his lips and asked.
"Shaohua Bookstore." Xu Hongdou retracted his gaze, looked at the other party, and said softly: "Generally speaking, one of their designers came to Dali some time ago and happened to meet Zhang Wentao."
"Then Wen Tao asked Lao Hu to take him around to get a feel for it."
"Lao Hu? Designer? Feelings?" Xie Zhiyao was a little confused and asked: "What do you feel?"
Xu Hongdou replied softly: "Feel the surroundings. How is it different from here? After all, if there is no investigation, there is no right to speak."
"Yeah, that's right." As he said that, Xie Zhiyao lowered his head and stared at the coffee in his hand. It had not yet bottomed out, but the heat had dissipated.
Just like the person in front of me.
Being blown here by the wind, after feeling the wind here, it will eventually leave.
The fact that Shaohua Bookstore would send people to make an unannounced visit did not surprise him. For such an investment, they would do their best to conduct research in the early stage to get real data.
It's just that he was a little surprised, Hu Youyu was also involved.
Moreover, it seems that Zhang Wentao, Xu Hongdou and Hu Youyu all chose to keep it secret.
"Have you seen him?" Xie Zhiyao raised his head and asked, "I mean, the person who came to investigate."
"No." Xu Hongdou responded softly.
The photo of the other party was taken by Hu Youyu, and Zhang Wentao only gave a rough description of the person's appearance.
According to what Lao Hu said, the two of them played all afternoon that day.
It seems, it sounds a little weird...
But when will this rain let down a little?
Turning his eyes to the window, looking at the heavy rain, and listening to the sound of rain hitting the wooden house, Xu Hongdou's brows that had just opened slightly wrinkled again.
"How about we go see that pony and talk about the sponsorship of the promotional video just now?"
"good."
…
Ancient towns separated by each other, rainy day.
Standing at the junction of the kitchen and the dining room, two old men who had just finished preparing dinner smiled knowingly. With such rain that never stopped, there would be fewer customers in the evening.
Zhang Wentao looked at the raindrops falling on his kitchen shoes, and his heart ached.
Then, he raised his head and glanced at the man beside him. Although his face was serious, his expectant eyes revealed what he was thinking.
His appearance made Shi Tiandong sigh: "How come you have changed after falling in love?"
In the past, when Zhang Wentao came to the restaurant, even if the 'full of spring scenery' came to visit, at least 95% of his mind was on work. But now... with the expression just now, he felt that it was hard to tell whether 10% was still there.
Zhang Wentao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Because I found my girlfriend with a lantern."
"Tsk, whose isn't it?"
Shi Tiandong said disdainfully.
Xu Hongdou is indeed very good-looking, but... well, it really can't be compared, okay.
After recalling the other person's smile in his mind, Shi Tiandong reluctantly admitted this fact.
"Then you go back now?"
Saying that, Shi Tiandong raised his head and glanced at the sky, and suggested with a smile: "If you are in a hurry, drive Sun Xiaowei's car back. In this weather, it is not easy to call the car at the gate of the town."
Zhang Wentao also took a look at the weather, which made sense.
It's difficult to take a taxi when it rains. It's the same everywhere, even in this place far away from the hustle and bustle.
"Okay, then I'm going to change clothes." Zhang Wentao said, patting Shi Tiandong on the shoulder.
This kind of action also represents your gratitude and trust to the other person.
"Let's go now, why are you so pretentious as an old man?" Shi Tiandong grinned and dusted the shoulder he had patted with a look of disdain on his face.
Zhang Wentao didn't care. He gave the other party a smile, turned back to the kitchen, checked it over and then walked to the dressing room.
In his cabinet, there was not only a set of clean clothes, but also the things Shi Tiandong gave him at noon.
After changing and picking up, Zhang Wentao, who was in a good mood, waved and trotted to the door of the restaurant.
"Why, are you going back so early today?"
Sun Xiaowei smiled suspiciously and took out the car keys without waiting for Zhang Wentao to speak.
"Well, tomorrow I will switch shifts with Lao Shi and take a day off to do some work." Zhang Wentao took it and said with a smile.
"Okay, go and do your work and give your person a good voice for me."
Sun Xiaowei smiled.
Zhang Wentao nodded, still smiling brightly on his face. After saying "thank you", he picked up the umbrella at the door of the restaurant and walked into the rain.
"I don't know, what is she doing?" He muttered to himself as he looked at the corners of his trousers that soon became wet.
In such weather, if Xu Hongdou wasn't helping out in the restaurant, he would be sleeping in his room.
If we go back so early today, we can make dinner and have it together.
Ah, I don’t know how many dishes are left in the refrigerator.
I should have known I had just taken some from the warehouse.
Ah, I forgot about the mushrooms too.
At this moment, Zhang Wentao, who was walking in the rain, seemed to be looking forward to this rare time, with a hint of rush and panic in his anticipation.
But I waited until I got in the car and started moving.
Looking at the raindrops hitting the car window, all he could think of was longing to go enjoy the rain with her.
Because if we drive a little faster, we can get back to the village in about 50 minutes.
I don’t know if the other party will be surprised to see him coming back early.
With the hope of seeing each other soon, he quickly paid attention to the road conditions in front of him.
When driving in the rain, it is better not to be distracted.
…
"I'm looking at the rain. It will probably start in about half an hour."
Uncle Deqing brought a plate of roasted sweet potatoes, came to Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou who had just returned from the horse pen, and asked with a smile: "Hongdou, are you in a hurry to go back to the courtyard?
Come on, don’t worry, let’s eat some roasted sweet potatoes first to satisfy our stomach.”
He smiled and handed the roasted sweet potato to Xu Hongdou.
"Uncle Deqing, thank you." Xu Hongdou smiled and picked up one. The anxiety on her face also faded a lot. After seeing the other party hand one to Xie Zhiyao, she asked softly: "I heard Aunt Agui
Said, you are going to Qingdao soon.
Then when you go, who will take care of the little cuties?"
"Oh, yes, I'll be leaving in two days, and the air tickets have been booked. Your Aunt Agui has mentioned this to you, right?" Uncle Deqing thought that the person in his family must have said this to everyone he met,
The smile is a little shy and a little embarrassed.
"Hehe." Xu Hongdou smiled slightly.
"Uncle Deqing is gone. I'll ask someone to come over here and look after it for two days." Xie Zhiyao broke open the sweet potatoes and quickly blew in the hot air. When he saw Xu Hongdou breaking it carefully, he subconsciously wanted to take his hands on it.
of sweet potatoes to the other party.
But before he could do this, Xu Hongdou took the initiative and said:
"I'll do it myself."
Xie Zhiyao: "..."
I am not greedy for your wallet, I am only greedy for the votes in your hands, haha, you can vote for me, every friend who is following me. Thank you, this is very important for me to keep writing!
Recommendation tickets and monthly tickets are both acceptable, I have no right to dislike it!
Thank you all!
real.
In addition, in terms of the plot, it is already being developed. I just want it to be more natural and less abrupt. Xu Hongdou will inevitably have some intersection with Xie Zhiyao due to work, which is inevitable. Please forgive me, but the intersection will happen in the future.
