"Boss, here are five pounds of roasted chestnuts with sugar. I want a big one."
Tang Jiao was standing on the roadside. It started to rain at noon today, and the weather was quite cold. Tang Jiao was holding an umbrella and rubbing her hands, feeling a little cold.
The stove for roasting chestnuts was close to the eaves of the verandah, which was well protected from the rain, but such a cold weather was always not that comfortable.
The boss smiled honestly: "I don't have much left, so I'll weigh it and give it to you. The price will be five kilograms. Don't worry, it must be more than five kilograms."
Tang Jiao nodded and said yes.
Five pounds and three taels.
The boss took the money and was happy: "Thank you, little girl! I thought we wouldn't be able to sell out today, but I didn't expect you to buy so much at once. That's great, I can finish work early."
There are very few people buying things on such a rainy day. If I hadn't met such a big customer, this thing would have been wasted.
It's so hot today and the chestnuts have been roasted, which is always not good.
He said: "This is the change for you."
Tang Jiao took it with a smile.
She turned around with the chestnuts and was about to get in the car when she saw the man standing across the street.
Although the rain was not very heavy, the man was wearing a black coat and a top hat, and did not hold an umbrella.
Tang Jiao raised her eyebrows and smiled, then waved to the people on the roadside.
Huo Xiao came to her side with a cane. When Tang Jiao saw the rain falling on him, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you ignoring your own health just to look cool?"
Having said that, he got closer and let the umbrella cover him a little.
Huo Xiao said: "It's nothing, right?"
Tang Jiao looked at his feet: "What's wrong?"
Huo Xiao looked at her and saw some concern in her eyes, which made him feel inexplicably warm.
He said: "It's nothing, the weather is bad, it will be more comfortable this way."
Although Tang Jiao didn't have much contact with Huo Xiao, she knew this person. He is one of those people who rarely shows his vulnerable side. He would use crutches in front of them, which must have been very uncomfortable.
Huo Xiaodao: "Buy so many chestnuts?"
He looked at Tang Jiao's chestnuts, then smiled slightly and said, "The car drove over and came back to buy it. I don't think you may have eaten so much, right?"
Tang Jiao raised her eyebrows, smiled brightly, and said crisply: "It doesn't affect me at all. Isn't it good to buy them all on a rainy day? I happen to be going to the hospital, so I will give some to the nurse sister. Everyone is happy."
"Then you don't want to say it's all inclusive?"
Tang Jiao: "I've estimated it, it's almost more than five kilograms."
Huo Xiao laughed.
He didn't expect that he would meet Tang Jiao by chance as soon as he arrived in Shanghai. If he had been prepared to meet, he would not have brought a cane with him.
For some reason, he always hoped to maintain a little bit of beauty in front of Tang Jiao.
Maybe this beauty is very little, but it is enough to make him feel warm.
"But... why did you show up in Shanghai?" Tang Jiao looked Huo Xiao up and down with a little scrutiny.
It's strange to say that Gu Tingyun just left Shanghai for Peiping last night, but Huo Xiao appeared in Shanghai at this time.
Huo Xiao smiled and said half-seriously: "While Gu Tingyun leaves, I'll come over and dig in."
Tang Jiao raised an eyebrow: "Huh?"
Huo Xiao: "He has a lot of business, so it doesn't matter if I take the opportunity to grab some, right?"
Tang Jiao laughed heartily and said mysteriously: "If you are willing to give me more profits, maybe I can cooperate with you inside and outside. Let's work together to drain Gu Tingyun's wealth!"
Huo Xiao laughed and said slowly: "So you are... Li."
Tang Jiao asked back: "Can't you be from here? After all, you should have a closer relationship, right? After all, you are both from the Huo family. In any case, we are brothers by name? I am really not the same as you. There is no relationship."
Although Tang Jiao was teasing, Huo Xiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Tang Jiao's statement made him feel very comfortable.
He said: "Do we really want to discuss such a topic on the street on a rainy day?"
Tang Jiao laughed and then nodded: "Where are you going, Master Xiao? I want to go to the hospital. You see, I have been delayed by you for a long time."
Huo Xiao said: "I wonder if Miss Tang is free in the evening. I wonder if I would be honored to invite you to dinner?"
He looked at Tang Jiao with a smile on his face.
Tang Jiao found that when he went back to celebrate the New Year, he smiled a little more when he came back.
Tang Jiao said softly: "Yes, yes, but I have to go to the hospital first."
Huo Xiao replied yes, and then said: "How about... Zuiyue Tower?"
Tang Jiao nodded: "Okay, okay!"
She said with a smile: "It just so happens that my mother chose this place for her wedding, so I can try the dishes in advance."
Huo Xiao didn't have any doubts after hearing this. He smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Tang Jiao said softly, "It's just that you are not in Shanghai, it seems that Yemen Qing'er is here!"
Huo Xiao laughed: "Still not leaving? Aren't you going to the hospital?"
Tang Jiao said crisply: "Thank you for your congratulations, but how much candy did you eat during the Chinese New Year? You are so sweet."
Huo Xiao glanced at her, said nothing, patted her shoulder, turned and left.
Tang Jiao complained: "Pretend to be cool."
When Tang Jiao came to the hospital, Shen Lianyi was about to go downstairs. This girl had been coming here to deliver food every day recently. If she didn't come at five o'clock every day, she would go downstairs and wait.
"Mom, how is Teacher Yang today?"
Shen Lianyi said: "I'm fine today."
Tang Jiao walked in with a smile. Yue Jiawen was checking Yang Congwen. When he saw Tang Jiao and her rosy face, he quickly looked away.
"Tang Jiao is here, sit down quickly."
Yang Congwen really wanted to have a good relationship with Tang Jiao. After all, she is Lianyi's daughter.
He said: "Lianyi, you don't have to stay with me here. Tang Jiao just happened to be here. You can go back together."
Tang Jiao smiled: "But I made an appointment with a friend."
Tang Jiao said: "Mom, I can't go back with you. I have an appointment with Huo Xiao."
Shen Lianyi was a little surprised and asked doubtfully: "He came to Shanghai? It's not even the first lunar month, why doesn't he stay in Peiping?"
Tang Jiao smiled lightly, took Shen Lianyi's arm and said, "How do I know? Maybe you are here to play? Or... don't want to see the Seventh Master? It just so happens that the Seventh Master has returned to Peking and he has come to Shanghai."
Tang Jiao was just joking, but the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener did.
Yue Jiawen looked back at Tang Jiao, pursed his lips, and looked a little ugly.
Tang Jiao noticed something was wrong with him, but she didn't want to ignore it. What did this have to do with him
She smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll leave first. It's not good to make people wait."
Of course Huo Xiao's coming to Shanghai has nothing to do with Gu Tingyun.
Gu Tingyun was originally scheduled to return to Peiping a few days ago, but due to some trivial matters, he postponed his departure until yesterday.
However, Tang Jiao felt that there was no need to explain more.
Shen Lianyi said: "Okay, you should pay attention to your own safety. Don't leave by yourself, let him take you back."
She can trust Huo Xiao's character.
Tang Jiao sighed and agreed.
Tang Jiao went downstairs, but as soon as she reached the entrance, she heard fast footsteps behind her, and Yue Jiawen chased after her.
He said: "Tang Jiao, can we have a talk?"
Tang Jiao smiled slightly and asked, "Why?"
She took a step back and leaned against the stairs so as not to disturb others.
She said: "Doctor Yue, we don't know each other very well, right?"
Yue Jiawen looked at Tang Jiao. He knew that there were some things he shouldn't say, but he couldn't help it. He thought for a moment and said, "Huo Xiao is a deep-minded person. He is not a good person. Anyway, we have known each other for a long time." Field, I don’t want you to be cheated.”
He looked at Tang Jiao and didn't understand why Tang Jiao became friends with Huo Xiao.
Tang Jiao smiled faintly and said softly: "Whether I have been deceived or not, I can tell it myself. Doctor Yue, I told you last time that you went beyond the limit. The first time and the second time I can still assume that you are kind-hearted and concerned, but please don’t do it a third time.”
She didn't want to talk more to Yue Jiawen, so she turned and left.
Yue Jiawen looked at Tang Jiao's back with deep eyes.
"Do you like her?" A woman's voice sounded, and Yue Jiawen turned around. Unexpectedly, he hesitated for a moment and thought of who the kind woman in front of him was.
"Tang Heng?"
When Hu Ruyu was in the hospital, Tang Heng had been seducing him as if there was nothing there, and he knew this. I just didn't want to respond.
He said coldly: "I hope you won't talk nonsense."
Turn around and prepare to go back to the office.
Tang Heng bit his lip and said softly: "What do you like about her? She is just a little witch. Do you know a little witch? A little witch who can harm and seduce people."
Yue Jiawen stopped and said coldly: "I don't think this has anything to do with you, right?"
He disliked Tang Heng very much and said, "I don't want to hear you slandering Tang Jiao here. Although you are not sisters, you have been sisters after all. Isn't it inappropriate to do this now?"
Tang Heng bit his lip: "What kind of sisters are she and I? She is so harmful and scheming. If I were really her sister, would I be harmed like this?"
Seeing that she was still biting Tang Jiao at this time, Yue Jiawen couldn't help but say: "All your misfortunes are caused by your mother. Don't you think it's ridiculous to blame all of this on Tang Jiao? I watched it from beginning to end. It is clear that if there is really one person who is responsible for your misfortune, it must be your mother who knew that you were kidnapped and needed a ransom but instead defrauded the money and ran away. It can't be anyone else."
Yue Jiawen rarely said so many words, but this time he was very serious: "You should really reflect on yourself. When you were kidnapped, you knew what you wanted to do. I was the attending doctor when you were hospitalized. Tang Heng , I'm not stupid, I've seen it all. You can't use other people's kindness as capital for you to do whatever you want. People can't be so shameless. Tang Jiao has let you go many times, you'd better think carefully about what you are doing again. .”
Tang Heng stood blankly on the spot.
Yue Jiawen sighed and said, "Okay, don't influence me..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Tang Jiao leaving and returning.
Tang Jiao: "I forgot to take my bag."
Then she looked at Yue Jiawen. She didn't expect that Yue Jiawen would say such things. She was silent for a moment and then said, "Thank you for speaking for me."
Originally, she thought this guy was annoying because of his talkativeness, but seeing how he could say such things, Tang Jiao finally understood.
It turns out that Yue Jiawen is actually kind-hearted.
It's not that he really wants to mix anything with her, but that's just the way he is.
Tang Heng unexpectedly did not speak to Tang Jiao, as if he had not seen her.
Tang Jiao was too lazy to pay attention to her and went back to the ward to get her bag. When she came out again, Tang Heng was no longer in the corridor.
But Yue Jiawen is here.
Tang Jiao nodded to him and left immediately.
