Chapter 594: Yang Tao Meets Qian Niang

Believe Yang Tao is one of those girls,

She is just smarter than those girls, knows how to act, knows how to use people, that's all.

Finally walked out of the mire.

Every era has the destiny of each generation.

The hardships we have suffered, telling today's young people, they definitely cannot understand,

They now live in a rapidly developing era, with cars and tall buildings everywhere.

This is the generation gap.

I and Yang Tao don't speak; she looks out the car window, thinking of her past.

I look at the road ahead of the car,

Many sedans speed past.

How unimaginable this was in the past,

Think back to the construction site from Lanling to Niushiling; I used to ride a bicycle back and forth,

Each trip took over three hours.

Now, driving on the newly repaired road, it takes just over an hour to reach Niushiling.

Upon arriving at Niushiling,

I brought Yang Tao back to the guesthouse first to see Qian Niang and Qiao Jie.

Upon entering the guesthouse,

Qian Niang saw me bringing Yang Tao back,

she furrowed her brows and asked, "Er Hai, they still don't believe you, why send another woman again."

Hearing Qian Niang say that,

I laughed,

"Mother, yes, they never believe me, so they send women. But you know this woman, Yang Tao comes over,

"Call her Qian Niang."

Yang Tao walked up to me,

"Qian Niang, do you still remember me? I'm Yang Tao; I used to work with Li Ming in the same unit."

Qian Niang looked at Yang Tao, stunned for a moment.

"Yang Tao, I remember now, you weren't you went abroad? How did you come back again."

"I missed you getting old, I came back to see you." Yang Tao laughed.

"Mother, let's go inside and talk, how is the house construction?" I asked.

"Er Hai, I told you not to make it so good, but you wouldn't listen; Jinghe told me they're building a villa.

"How much money will this cost? Now the house is almost done, all using commercial concrete. Really fast." Qian Niang sighed.

"Mother, I still think it's slow; this long time, always letting you stay in the guesthouse.

"I feel guilty; once the house is finished, you can move in earlier, so we can enjoy our old age in Niushiling." After I said that, I accompanied Qian Niang back to the guesthouse room.

"Er Hai, I ask you, how is Li Ming?

"Should we go see her? I can't be petty with a child." Qian Niang said.

"Mother, Li Ming brother is fine; he was released yesterday, and I and Yang Tao picked him up,

"Right, he today went to work at Da Heng Group together with He Qing,

"You no longer need to worry about him." I said happily.

"Li Ming has come out, why didn't he come back with you?" Qian Niang asked.

"This is because today he has to go to work at Da Heng Group, so he didn't come back together; once his job stabilizes, he will definitely come back." I explained to Qian Niang.

Qian Niang felt very disappointed after hearing my explanation.

She remained silent, not speaking.

Qian Niang misses Li Ming, but Li Ming actually doesn't want to come back.

Li Ming always thinks about returning home in glory, but there's nothing he can do.

Seeing Qian Niang not speaking, I already guessed her thoughts,

I quickly said, "Mother, let me tell you another good news: Xiao Long has already settled his job; he will work with Tian Shi from now on.

"This settles Xiao Long's job; you can finally put your big worry to rest."

"Xiao Long brought Fang Rui to see me yesterday.

"I already know, this child Xiao Long, I have nothing to worry about.

"Both of them have jobs now,

"I have finally put my big worry to rest,

"I want Xiao Long to marry early, but Xiao Long disagrees,

"He insists on buying a house for Fang Rui before marrying.

"Ah, this Xiao Long, I told him there are houses in Lanling for him to live in first, but he refuses." Qian Niang sighed.

Qian Niang, holding her great-grandson, is already very anxious.

I said, "Mother, alright, I know; later I'll tell Xiao Long to marry early so you can hold your great-grandson sooner."

"Jianqiang, when did you come back?" Qiao Jie said, finishing and pushing the door open.

When Qiao Jie saw Yang Tao,

her expression immediately changed,

"Jianqiang, who is this again?"

"Qiao Jie, let me introduce her; she's called Yang Tao."

"You forgot, you already know each other," I said, introducing Yang Tao to Qiao Jie.

"Qiao Jie, hello, it's been several years since I last saw you," Yang Tao hurriedly went over to speak with Qiao Jie.

Qiao Jie looked at Yang Tao,

"Yang Tao, little sister, it's really you; you haven't changed at all, you're still so young."

"Alas, you tell me how you grew up,"

"If only I could be like you," Qiao Jie sighed, looking at Yang Tao.

"Qiao Jie, you're not old either," Yang Tao laughed.

"Not old? Your hair is already white," Qiao Jie said.

I said from beside them, "Yang Tao, come, we'll take you to see the villa I built; I'll retire at Niushiling later."

"You're really retiring here," Yang Tao said.

"Is there any doubt about that? Qiao Jie, how's your house coming along?" I asked Qiao Jie again.

"Almost done, let's go, we'll take Yang Tao with us to have a look," Qiao Jie said.

So we group stepped out of the inn and walked toward Niushiling Village.

We soon arrived at Qian Niang's house,

The overall structure of Qian Niang's house had already risen.

Shi Jinhe was directing the big crew at work.

Seeing us, he walked over toward us,

"You're here, Jinghe, how's it going?" I took out a cigarette.

Shi Jinhe took the cigarette.

"The main structure is up; what's left is the interior and exterior wall cladding and other finishing work.

Brother, look at the two‑story villa, the interior includes a bathroom, shower room, kitchen,

and as soon as you step in, there's a grand living room, not inferior at all to the city buildings."

Shi Jinhe pointed at the house under construction and said.

I walked inside to take a look,

Very good.

The rooms are spacious.

"Jinghe, this villa is well built," I praised Shi Jinhe.

Qian Niang said at that moment, "Jinghe, I didn't let you build such large rooms, but you wouldn't listen; how many rooms can an old lady like me live in?"

I replied, "Mother, I'll move in too."

Shi Jinhe also added, "Qian Niang, I'm moving from the city as well, and Shi Yong too; this house might still not be enough."

Hearing Shi Jinhe say that,

Qian Niang said happily, "Alright, since you're all coming, the mothers will live together."

"Mother Qian, I still have a house over there; let Jianqiang live with me," Qiao Jie said from beside.

"As long as it's Er Hai, I have no objection; he'll live with you," Qian Niang said.

"Did you hear that, Zhao Jianqiang?" Qiao Jie deliberately shouted.

"Qiao Jie, the house I'm building for you, besides me living there, Zhou Wei will move in next. She's currently undergoing recovery treatment and can't stay in the hospital long‑term," I said.

"Alright, then we'll live together. I've said it, we must take care of Zhou Wei. You have to agree," Qiao Jie said happily.

I nodded.

At this moment Yang Tao asked, "Jianqiang, how is Zhou Wei? Since then I haven't visited her yet."

"Zhang, the expert from Sijiucheng, has already examined her; he gave a treatment plan."

She's currently being treated at the city hospital and can't see anyone for the time being. Wait three months.

before anyone can see her," I said.

"Sigh, Zhou Wei hasn't had it easy; just as you were beginning to have good days, she had a car accident. Honestly, you plan to live with Qiao Jie," Yang Tao whispered.

I nodded,

"Yes, Qiao Jie is alone now, it's just right to help look after Zhou Wei, and it saves me a lot of worry."

You see, I truly intend to return to Niushiling to live.

I'm not lying to you.

From now on, I won't ask about outside matters any more. I'll raise birds, grow flowers, and enjoy the remaining years.
