Chapter 78 Lucky Day

"Aren't you in a hurry? Why don't you take a taxi?"

Xu Mingyuan sent her to the roadside, and when he saw her walking towards the bus stop, he asked her a question.

"It only costs one dollar to get there by taking a bus."

Tao Shuxin touched the small wallet in his pocket and felt a little sad.

But today's goal has been achieved, and I feel good when I think about it.

"Is it necessary to be so frugal? Why don't you ask your dad for it?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

Her father is a vice president after all, so even if he doesn't make any extra money, his salary is pretty good.

"I want to, but my mom won't let me."

"Ha, you're so stupid, why don't you just go find your dad secretly?"

"You think I don't want to? I've already asked for it."

Tao Shuxin sighed and stared at Xu Mingyuan in confusion.

"Then let's do it again." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"No, you don't know how powerful my mom is. She can tell what I've done just by looking at me."

"You are too guilty. Hey, will all these review materials you printed be useful?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"How can it be useless? Can't you see I'm learning?"

Tao Shuxin was preparing for the battle. Seeing the bus coming, she quickly put a pile of papers back into her schoolbag, deliberately ignored Xu Mingyuan, waved to Xiao Yangzhi and said, "Goodbye, little sister."

Then he jogged onto the bus, gave the ticket seller fifty cents, sat down by the window, and waved to Xu Mingyuan.

We all came out together, and I took Xiao Yangzhi to buy some things.

Xu Mingyuan had been very careful and bought things that were not often used in life but sometimes needed, such as adhesive tape, glue, Band-Aids, cold medicines and the like.

In the end, I carried two large bags of messy things back.

"elder brother……"

Yang Zhi stretched out a hand.

"You want me to carry it?"

"Ah."

Yang Zhi kept nodding her head, and her ponytail twitched along with it.

"Then give it to me."

Xu Mingyuan took it easily.

It’s good that Xiao Yangzhi is like this. If she is always bullied and doesn’t say anything, she will continue to be bullied.

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was holding the bag with his right hand, Yang Zhi moved the bag in his left hand and quietly slipped to his left side.

"Brother, does Sister Taotao like you very much?"

Little Yangzhi, who was leaning against Xu Mingyuan, asked weakly.

"Yeah, this little girl is really tough."

Xu Mingyuan smiled, but couldn't help but sigh.

Yang Zhi didn't ask any more questions. She clearly remembered that the answer this time was different from the last time.

The whole person became quiet, just moved closer.

……

Tao Shuxin hummed a little tune along the way and was in a very good mood.

The people of Nanxi are generally welcoming and when they saw that it was a pretty little girl, an auntie next to her came over to strike up a conversation with her.

"Little girl, what happened to you? Why are you so happy?"

"Uh, hard to say."

Tao Shuxin didn't know how to explain it, so she just frowned, but she still suppressed the smile on her lips.

As one of the few people who have been classmates since the first year of high school, Tao Shuxin knows Xu Mingyuan's personality and character very well.

Xu Mingyuan would generally do what he promised. If he couldn't do it, he would hesitate and not jump to conclusions.

It was the first time that Tao Shuxin saw Xu Mingyuan make such a solemn promise, which finally put her mind at ease.

She felt as if she was holding an imperial sword, ready to kill the tyrant emperor and eliminate the corrupt officials.

Since he has agreed, he must do what he says. If he can't do it, I will force him to do it.

If I don't keep an eye on Xu Mingyuan, God knows what he will become after going to college.

When Tao Shuxin thought of the various rumors about her former seniors, she felt sympathetic. She knew very well that Xu Mingyuan was never a person who could control his temper.

Although resuming diplomatic relations is good, Jiangnan University is closer to home, isn’t it?

Now the only difficult hurdle is myself. Although it is difficult, the pen is in my hands.

Tao Shuxin clenched her fists, estimated the distance to her home, and walked one step at a time.

When standing at the door, Tao Shuxin was like a deflated ball, and the guilt on her little face could no longer be hidden.

What you think in your mind is one thing, and actually facing it is another.

After swallowing, Tao Shuxin took out the key from her bag, thought for a moment, took out a stack of photocopied study materials from her schoolbag, and then gently inserted the key into the keyhole. She carefully turned the door handle, and when it opened a crack, Tao Shuxin poked her head into the room first.

"Where did Taotao go? He came back so late."

Tao Changming put down the documents in his hand and walked out of the tea room.

"Dad, you're home. It's not even five o'clock yet. I'm not too late to come back."

Seeing his father at home, Tao Shuxin, who had just felt guilty, instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

My father rarely stays in Jiangcheng recently. He drives back to Nanxi after get off work, but most of the time he is out for social events. Sometimes he can't get up the next day and has to ask for leave. Tao Shuxin feels a little distressed seeing her father so busy.

However, ever since my father was transferred to Jiangcheng for work, we rarely have such long time together. Tao Shuxin is also happy, and everything is getting better and better.

Tao Shuxin kicked off her shoes and walked around on tiptoe without even wearing slippers.

"Where is my mother?" Tao Shuxin asked curiously.

"I went to buy you a present."

"Ah? Don't..."

Tao Shuxin's face fell.

Could it be a broom?

Although I have forgotten how many years I was beaten, my mother beat me until I cried several times when I was a child because she was disobedient.

Just as he stepped forward, the door lock turned twice and the door was pushed open again, as if his mother was waiting for him outside.

Tao Shuxin's heart tightened and he ran over quickly.

"Mom, you're back. Look, I went to my classmate's house to print study materials."

Tao Shuxin shook the stack of papers in his hand, trying hard to show his spirit of striving for progress.

He Qiong did not answer. She just calmly looked at her daughter who was becoming increasingly difficult to manage, and took off her leather boots.

Tao Shuxin shuddered and looked at his father for help.

Tao Changming came over and kept winking at her.

Tao Shuxin understood what he meant and moved on tiptoe, trying to sneak back to the room.

He Qiong did not let her husband take the bag, but said in the same tone: "Tao Shuxin."

"Hey, Mom, are you cold? I'll go get you a cup of hot water."

Tao Shuxin smiled guiltily and ran away.

It’s not without reason that she’s afraid of her mother. This kind of calm before the storm is the scariest thing. There’s no telling what’s going to happen next.

"Come here, take it."

He Qiong took out one of the small bags and gave it to her.

"Oh……"

Tao Shuxin gave up the urge to run, took the bag and looked inside.

It’s actually a mobile phone?

Tao Shuxin didn't dare to believe his eyes and confirmed it several times before he found out it was true.

"Wow!"

Tao Shuxin discovered that today was her lucky day, and she had to write down the date.

But her excitement soon disappeared, and she said with a sad face: "Why is it a little pager?"

What's more, it's an old model, the kind without SMS function. No one would want it even if it cost a hundred yuan on the market.

"You are not allowed to use it on weekdays. Remember to bring your mobile phone with you on Sunday." He Qiong said.

"I don't want it, you take it."

Tao Shuxin threw the bag aside angrily, her face turned dark and her lips pouted, she crossed her arms over her chest and started to sulk.

This is not a mobile phone at all, it is a tool to limit your freedom.

Usually at this time Tao Changming would act as a buffer to ease the tension between mother and daughter.

"Girl, just make do with this for now. When you go to college, Dad will take you to buy a good phone. You can choose whatever you want."

"I'm nineteen years old. I'm not a child anymore."

Tao Shuxin stood still, her bright eyes slanting towards the ceiling.

"In the eyes of mom and dad, you are still a child at the age of 29."

Tao Changming put his arm around his daughter's shoulders, took her to sit in the living room, picked up the study materials in her hand, and said, "Dad, look at what you printed out. The 1000 types of questions that must be practiced for the college entrance examination? Not bad. You see, our girl has a promising future."

Tao Changming turned to look at his wife, only to see He Qiong roll her eyes and go to the kitchen to wash the fruit.

Now he could only turn around and persuade his daughter. Tao Changming flipped through a few pages of printed paper and said casually: "Your classmate's family is well-off. The printing paper is really thick, better than what my company uses..."

Tao Changming, who was holding the printed paper, was suddenly stunned. He stood up and walked to the tea room and picked up the document he had just been reading.

What he held in his hand was not a copy, but an original.

I flipped through several sheets and compared them carefully. I found that the quality of this paper is not that of Haizhou paper, and the places where the ink is focused are almost exactly the same.
