Chapter 241 Interest
Tao Shuxin said in advance that she would go to school today, but it felt bad to leave without saying goodbye. Xu Mingyuan originally wanted to say hello to Tao Changming, but the girl wrote a note and hurriedly took him away.

After a long time of effort, he finally carried the two suitcases downstairs. When he thought about having to carry them to the sixth floor, Xu Mingyuan felt overwhelmed again.

They both woke up early, their hair messy.

Tao Shuxin was combing her hair and saw that Xu Mingyuan looked a little unhappy, so she poured some mineral water in her hand and rubbed it on his head.

"Don't leave yet, go eat something."

The potato pancake that Xu Mingyuan had perfunctorily was not enough to satisfy his hunger, so Tao Shuxin ran to order some steamed buns and soy milk and brought him one as well.

Xu Mingyuan ate his fill in the morning with Xiao Yangzhi. He ate a bun and drank soy milk. Tao Shuxin wanted to stuff food into his mouth, but seeing that he kept biting the straw and didn't open his mouth, she had to feed him herself.

No matter how full the little girl's stomach was, there were still two buns left.

Seeing her rubbing her belly and trying to get the backpack from the back seat, Xu Mingyuan frowned and asked, "Tao Shuxin, you're not full yet? I'll fill you up to death."

Tao Shuxin paused, gave up the idea of ​​getting the bag, stretched and said, "I'm just tired from eating, so I'll move around."

"Are you full? Can we go now?"

"Wait a minute..." Tao Shuxin opened the bag beside her and searched, then took out a small notebook and said, "Dang dang dang, look what this is?"

"Didn't you say that you didn't wear your seatbelt the first time, and got stuck by a car the second time, so you missed both chances?"

Seeing her waving her driver's license proudly, Xu Mingyuan raised his eyebrows.

At that time, she called to complain that a truck changed lanes to overtake her test car and caused it to slow down, which directly caused her to fail the test. The girl looked furious and it didn't seem like she was lying.

"The second time doesn't count. Give me another chance." Tao Shuxin said proudly.

"It was your dad who gave you money to retake the exam."

Xu Mingyuan was wondering at the time why Tao Changming went with him and how Tao Shuxin could fail the exam. It turned out that the girl was trying to show off.

These days, as long as you are willing to pay a few hundred extra dollars, you are basically guaranteed to pass the driving test, unless you are hopelessly stupid, and the little girl is definitely not one of them.

"You're talking nonsense. The examiner must have given me the chance because he saw that I was innocent." Tao Shuxin said with a pout.

"Yes, yes, you're right. Now that you've got your driver's license, do you want to drive?"

"not bad?"

Tao Shuxin pursed her lips, looking eager to try but not quite brave enough.

"Come on, what's the point of getting a driver's license otherwise?"

After Xu Mingyuan finished speaking, he was about to get off the car.

"Get on the road first."

Tao Shuxin grabbed Xu Mingyuan's arm, she was afraid of hitting the cars parked on the side of the road.

"Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, lightly press the accelerator and go."

Xu Mingyuan moved to the front passenger seat, threw away the pile of garbage she had created, and threw her bag into the back seat.

Tao Shuxin adjusted the seat, held the steering wheel and grinned, she had driven Xu Mingyuan's car many times and it was more comfortable for her to drive than the broken pickup truck in the driving school.

"You must help me keep an eye on it." Tao Shuxin turned his head and reminded.

"It'll be fine if you're not nervous, but don't scream and shout so loudly that you can't tell the difference between the accelerator and the brake when something happens," Xu Mingyuan warned.

"I'm not stupid. Do I need you to tell me that? Am I that stupid..."

Tao Shuxin looked at Xu Mingyuan unhappily and was very unhappy about his lack of trust in her.

As usual, I started the engine and released the handbrake, and then the car staggered.

Xu Mingyuan was shocked and said to her, "You are not stupid? Can you do it?"

"Oh, it's okay. I'm just a little too happy. Just keep an eye on me."

After Tao Shuxin finished speaking, he slowly drove onto the road.

Seeing her sitting straight with her eyes constantly glancing left and right at the passing vehicles, Xu Mingyuan no longer had the desire to sleep. He stared at the passing vehicles and prepared to grab the steering wheel.

Although Tao Shuxin is often called a silly girl, she is very smart and can learn anything very quickly. It is also easy for her to learn how to drive and she can change gears in a very natural way.

The one who really couldn't learn was the clumsy little Yang Zhi. Her hands and feet would shake and cramp when she touched the steering wheel, let alone driving on the road. Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of her.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan sighing, Tao Shuxin thought he was sighing at herself, so she rolled her eyes angrily.

There's nothing wrong with it. Why are you so angry?

Tao Shuxin then became more alert and leaned his head forward to look, trying to find out where he went wrong.

She had learned the theoretical knowledge very well. Regardless of whether there was a car behind her or not, she would always turn on the turn signal and wait for a few seconds before changing lanes.

Xu Mingyuan gave her some pointers, but Tao Shuxin was still unhappy and kept complaining that she was just doing it according to the exam content.

Xu Mingyuan shook his head. Tao Shuxin was indeed a child raised in a teacher's family. His basic skills were solid, but it was a pity that he didn't know how to put them into practice.

Forty kilometers per hour was already a very fast speed for a novice driver. But Xu Mingyuan felt like he was crawling at a snail's pace. At this speed, it would take at least the afternoon to reach Jiangcheng.

"Turn right and go to the highway at the intersection." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Ah? No! I just got my driver's license and they won't let me drive on the highway. Shall we take the national highway?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"Pull over and let me drive. The national road is narrow and there are a lot of semi-trailer trucks. If something happens, it will be troublesome."

Teaching Xiao Taotao to be a driver is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Xu Mingyuan feels that the safety of both of them is more important.

"Oh oh oh."

Tao Shuxin, who was still in high spirits, had to stop the car. She watched Xu Mingyuan put the seat and rearview mirror back to their original positions, which he had spent a lot of time adjusting. Then she vented her anger on the snacks in her backpack.

Tao Shuxin was no longer a sleepy person on the road. She had just received her driver's license and was very confident. She began to give instructions to Xu Mingyuan. "Why don't you hold the steering wheel with both hands? Haven't you learned the fourth subject? The highway is so dangerous!"

"Are you annoying? How about you drive it?"

Tao Shuxin kept chattering along the way, and Xu Mingyuan's patience was almost exhausted.

"Why didn't you think about my feelings when you were talking about me? I didn't say anything. Now I'm just saying a few words to you, but you're annoyed. Humph..."

Tao Shuxin groaned, venting his dissatisfaction with driving. His cheeks were stuffed with snacks, like a chubby bun.

"Who is willing to talk about you? It's you who insisted on asking." Xu Mingyuan said speechlessly.

"You should speak in a nicer tone. Tell me in a soft voice to pay attention to the cars coming from behind and the pedestrians in front..." Tao Shuxin complained while counting on her fingers.

"What if you were a kindergarten kid? Are you driving a game? What if you hit someone?"

"I'm just a kid in kindergarten, what's the matter?"

Tao Shuxin knew he couldn't win the argument, so he started to act like a spoiled brat.

After getting off the highway, Xu Mingyuan immediately gave up the driving seat and quickly told the girl who kept talking to shut up.

If Xiao Yangzhi had more than half of Tao Shuxin's ability, Xu Mingyuan wouldn't have to worry.

Originally, Xu Mingyuan didn't want to talk about her, but Tao Shuxin kept asking him questions, and he was not happy unless he said something about her. He really deserved a beating.

……

The two of them first went to pick up the custom-made curtains, and then started moving when they arrived at the community.

Tao Shuxin had to move her two suitcases twice, and Xu Mingyuan had his own stuff, so he climbed the stairs three times and finally put all his stuff upstairs.

The furniture and appliances have already been moved into the newly renovated house, and the remaining miscellaneous items will be purchased when I remember to buy them.

Xu Mingyuan pulled off the plastic film on the sofa and lay down on it.

The window was wide open for ventilation, and Xu Mingyuan didn't want to move, so he ordered Tao Shuxin to close the window. Anyway, the little girl had plenty of energy, so let her work.

Generally, plywood is not used for decoration, and good materials are used for paint. There is no need to pay special attention to harmful gases such as formaldehyde. Xu Mingyuan has been working in real estate for many years, and he has never heard of anyone being poisoned by formaldehyde at home. Most of the news is a gimmick deliberately created by relevant interest companies.

It has been windproof for so long that it is now habitable.

Tao Shuxin didn't feel tired. She took out the slippers she had prepared long ago and threw them to Xu Mingyuan angrily for him to change into. Then she walked around, nodding and praising him constantly.

After Xu Mingyuan had enough rest, he turned on the air conditioning and heating in all the rooms. Since there was no floor heating this year, he had to make do with it for a while.

"Oh, my little home is still short of a floor mat, how about we go downstairs and buy some?"

Seeing the shoes thrown on the floor, Tao Shuxin, who had poor eyesight, finally realized what was missing.

"There are a lot of things missing. Let's talk about it later."

"Why did you turn on the air conditioner? Heating consumes more electricity than cooling!"

Tao Shuxin had already planned to pay for the water, electricity, and all other expenses of her small household herself in the future. Seeing him wasting her little money like this, she immediately frowned.

"I opened a lot of skylights and the house is freezing. I'll turn on the air conditioner for a few days to warm up the house."

The little girl always cares about these little things, and Xu Mingyuan feels overwhelmed when he hears them.

"Well, then why don't you get up? Are you just going to lie here? Help clean up!"

"Wait until after lunch before cleaning up."

"Just eat something for lunch. I have snacks in my bag. Come on, hurry up!"

Tao Shuxin pulled Xu Mingyuan up, rinsed the mop, washed the rag, and tore off all the plastic film on the electrical appliances and furniture in the house.

There were many things missing from the small home, such as pots, pans, and utensils that had not been bought. Tao Shuxin moved a lot of things from home, but most of them were decorations and were of no use at all.

They went downstairs for a light lunch at noon and bought the missing items at the supermarket. They spent the whole afternoon busy cleaning the house.

"You can't even put up curtains?"

Seeing him clumsily buttoning the curtains, Tao Shuxin said with disgust.

"will not."

The curtains were washed at home. Xiao Yangzhi did it herself. She was tall and had never asked Xu Mingyuan to do it for her.

"Really? I think you just want to be lazy. We've been in school for so many years, and you've never installed curtains?"

"Hehe, no."

Xu Mingyuan gave a dry laugh. He had never installed curtains in his entire senior year of high school, let alone before that. He had long forgotten about it.

Although Tao Shuxin was talking about Xu Mingyuan, she was also quite clumsy. The two of them spent more than two hours and finally closed all the curtains.

"call……"

Tao Shuxin was also extremely tired and too lazy to make the bed. She just lay down on the mattress and didn't want to move.

Soon Xu Mingyuan came over, holding her rosy face and pretending to kiss her.

"I'm so tired. Are you annoying?"

Tao Shuxin was shy and reserved. When she thought of him saying that he was annoying, she didn't want to pay any attention to him.

"No! Let me collect some interest first."

How could Xu Mingyuan let go of the cute little girl so easily? After being pestered by Xiao Yangzhi for so long, he had to get back at her...
