Tao Zhiyun took Qiqi out of the small restaurant and returned home with worries.
Tie the apron around your waist and start cooking dinner.
Before a dish of braised fish fillets was ready, Niuniu, the seven-year-old daughter of Chief Lu of the security department, came over with a small basket containing more than a dozen eggs.
She timidly said to Tao Zhiyun: "Aunt Tao, my dad asked me to send this."
Tao Zhiyun glanced at the contents of the basket and hurriedly declined: "Tell your dad that Auntie doesn't want it because Auntie has eggs at home."
Niu Niu was about to cry: "If you don't accept these eggs, my dad will beat me when you go back."
Tao Zhiyun felt his head was big.
Since the Lu Ke family helped her take back the house, today they either asked Niu Niu to give her a handful of vegetables, or tomorrow they asked Niu Niu to give her two cucumbers.
As long as Tao Zhiyun didn't accept it, Niu Niu would have the same expression and the same words, forcing her to accept it.
She sighed and accepted the basket and eggs.
Let Qiqi bring biscuits to Niu Niu.
Qiqi was very obedient. She came to Niu Niu holding the box of cookies, grabbed the cookies for her with one small hand, and said in a sweet voice: "Sister, eat cookies."
Niuniu swallowed saliva in her mouth, but hesitated and refused to take it.
Tao Zhiyun said seriously: "Qiqi gives it to you, just take it, otherwise Auntie will be angry."
Only then did Niuniu accept the biscuits given by Qiqi.
Then he stared at his own basket and whispered: "Aunt Tao, my basket..."
Lin Mai knew that she had to go back with the empty basket to deliver the errand, so he said gently: "After dinner, I will deliver the basket to your house."
Niuniu then turned around and went home.
After dinner, Tao Zhiyun did not take out the eggs from Niu Niu's basket, but also put two packets of brown sugar in it, and then took the basket to Chief Lu's house.
When she arrived at the door of Chief Lu's house, she did not enter the house. Instead, she stood at the gate and shouted: "Is Chief Lu home?"
Chief Lu was giving the egg to Tao Zhiyun for Niu Niu, and Tao Zhiyun accepted it, feeling happy.
Ever since he helped Tao Zhiyun close a house last time, he had thoughts about her.
Tao Zhiyun is beautiful, well-educated, her natal family has good conditions, and she has a strong ability to make money.
If I get together with her, I will definitely have a good life in the future.
For this reason, during dinner, he happily drank two glasses of wine with some vegetables.
Hearing Tao Zhiyun's voice at this time, he felt excited.
Unexpectedly, Tao Zhiyun actually came to his door. This had never happened before.
He responded several times in succession: "Yes! Yes!"
He quickly walked out of the house and said enthusiastically: "It's Xiao Tao, come in and sit down!"
Tao Zhiyun glanced at Mr. Lu's family, who was peeking at their neighbors.
Seeing that he had been discovered, the neighbor smiled sheepishly and retracted his head.
Tao Zhiyun shook his head at Section Chief Lu: "No, I came here just to return the basket to you." After that, he handed the basket to him.
When Section Chief Lu took it, he felt that the basket had some weight.
When I looked down, I saw that the basket was not empty.
Not only did it contain the eggs he asked his youngest daughter to give to Tao Zhiyun, but there were also two packets of brown sugar, which made his heart feel cold.
Tao Zhiyun is not interested in him!
Chief Lu stuttered a little when he spoke: "You... why did you bring the eggs, and... there were two extra packets of brown sugar?"
Tao Zhiyun smiled politely: "I have eggs at home. You can keep these eggs for your children to eat."
Although Section Chief Lu is a moderate official in the factory, Chunlei Garment Factory is not very profitable and he can only get a basic salary every month.
And he had several children to raise, and parents to respect, so his life was very tight, and all of his children were sallow and thin.
Tao Zhiyun didn't want to accept anything from him, especially valuable food like eggs.
She continued: "This packet of brown sugar is for your girl to drink. I see that her lips have no color, so she is probably anemic."
Lu Ke's face turned red and he tried his best to refuse: "My mother raised a group of chickens in the countryside. Don't worry about my children having no eggs to eat. You can accept these eggs and I will accept these two packets of brown sugar."
After all, Section Chief Lu is a small leader, and he is naturally worldly and understanding.
Knowing that Tao Zhiyun gave him brown sugar, he wanted to repay his favor for asking his youngest daughter to send vegetables to her family.
Only by repaying the favor can the two of them owe nothing to each other, and she can no longer have contact with him.
But Section Chief Lu didn't want to lose contact with her, so he deliberately accepted the brown sugar, but asked Tao Zhiyun to accept his eggs, so that he could reciprocate with Tao Zhiyun.
Tao Zhiyun didn't want to give him a chance, and said bluntly: "You can accept them all.
I am most afraid of owing favors, so don’t let your Niuniu give me anything in the future, this makes me very passive."
Chief Lu pretended not to take it seriously: "We are colleagues. You are a single mother with a child, so I should help you.
Don't think too much about whether it's human or not."
Tao Zhiyun said sternly: "You also know that I am a divorced woman, and I have always been a 'widow with a lot of disputes.' If you still give me this and that, what should I do if the neighbors who don't know the truth misunderstand me? It will affect my reputation.
of.
Besides, I don’t need your help.”
Chief Lu deliberately ignored Tao Zhiyun's words that he didn't need help, and waved his hand: "If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows. You don't need to pay attention to those gossips."
Tao Zhiyun's face became ugly: "Those gossips are not directed at you, that's why you speak so lightly.
You are also in your thirties, so it’s impossible that you don’t understand the meaning of the word “terrible in human language”.
Are you saying that because you want me to be driven to death by rumors?”
After that, he turned around and left with a dark face.
Tao Zhiyun knew that he was interested in her since Section Chief Lu asked his youngest daughter to give her home this and that.
Because the vegetables and cucumbers given earlier were not valuable, she could not return them.
This time Section Chief Lu asked Niu Niu to give her eggs, which was a good opportunity for her.
By returning the eggs, she wanted to make Section Chief Lu understand what she meant: she didn't want to have anything to do with him at all.
Unexpectedly, Section Chief Lu, who usually seemed to have a good character, would stalk him, which made Tao Zhiyun extremely disgusted with him.
Chief Lu didn't expect that his few words would be self-defeating. He put the basket on the table and hurriedly chased after him.
He mustered up the courage to say to Tao Zhiyun: "Xiao Tao, I have no other meaning in saying those words. I just don't want to have anything to do with you from now on.
I...I like you~"
Tao Zhiyun refused very decisively: "I'm really sorry, I don't want to remarry in the future. You can find someone you like." After that, he bypassed Section Chief Lu and left.
After experiencing the scarred marriage with Ma Tao, she really didn't have many thoughts of remarrying.
Now that she has money and a house, and lives a peaceful and happy life with Qiqi, why would she want to remarry and ask for trouble?
Section Chief Lu looked at Tao Zhiyun's walking back, feeling unhappy in his heart.
The two of them, one widowed and the other divorced, made a perfect couple, but Tao Zhiyun insisted on rejecting him thousands of miles away, and he didn't know why he was arrogant.
Isn’t it just that being beautiful will make you money?
Although Section Chief Lu was unhappy, Tao Zhiyun's rejection was so obvious that he couldn't continue to pester him, so he had to go home in despair.
