The Spring Festival of 2006 was January 29, which was the first day of the new year, and Hong Tao and his party of five returned to Beijing on the 23rd day of the lunar month. Liu Gang and Gao Miao drove 3 cars to the airport to take the pair of remnants of the defeated soldiers back to their respective homes, due to the sudden return to the cold north from the hot Africa, the fat boss was knocked down by the disease again, Boss Liu did not get better there, his throat was swollen on the plane, and he coughed a little.

In Hong Tao's view, they were not knocked down by the sudden change in climate, but because of the lack of yang qi and the rise of the void fire caused by excessive physical exertion. This matter should once again be the reason for the small head to be comfortable, and to make a big fuss.

As for the illness of the two old men, Hong Tao doesn't have to worry about it, this is already Beijing and not Africa, they have the best hospitals and doctors in the country to take care of, and now Hong Tao should be most concerned about his own troubles.

First of all, Ye Rong and Pan are the accommodation problems of the two foreigners, bringing them home to live is the worst choice, originally Hong Tao was counting on the two of them to go to Boss Liu's small courtyard to make do with it for a few days, but now that Boss Liu is hospitalized, it is a bit inappropriate to use this problem to trouble him.

However, Gao Miao's words have solved this problem satisfactorily, the small courtyard next door to his house that Hong Tao acquired before has been renovated, although Hong Tao has said that he will sell it to the fat boss, but at present, the fat boss is also getting tired of the little nurse in the hospital, and he must not have the time to take over this yard, so he just used it as a temporary foothold for the two foreigners.

The two small houses originally built by themselves in the small courtyard have been demolished, and a small pergola has been built with bamboo in the middle of the courtyard according to Hong Tao's design. A few grapevines were planted, and in the summer, when the vines covered the pergola, put an old-fashioned bamboo recliner underneath, prepare herbal tea or drinks, and take a nap or something.

"Alas, the good cabbage has made the pig arch! It's a pity! Hong Tao now regrets a little that he agreed to sell this small courtyard to the fat boss, but he has already agreed, and it would not be too righteous to regret it. And this is the company's property, and the fat boss is also a major shareholder. It also has a say in the company's property. The main thing is that I don't have the money, and I can't afford to buy it if I want to!

"Oh, the house is chic, I love the color scheme. And this big tree. Dumplings. What kind of tree is this? Pan was also wrapped like a zongzi at this time, and this set of down jackets and pants was bought by her when she was transiting in Hong Kong, and she and Ye Rong had one set. It's certainly warm to dress, but it's a little excessive, and Beijing is much colder than Africa, but it's not the Arctic.

"The jujube tree, it's older than me, and it can bear a lot of jujube every year, but I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up." Hong Tao looked at the bare jujube tree, and recalled the memories of his previous life, this tree can live for at least 20 years, and it still grows well a few years before he crosses.

"Lady pick first, I'll stay in whatever room you want." Ye Rong was more realistic, he didn't care about the architectural style or the jujube tree, but looked at the situation in the room one by one through the window, and then guarded the door of a house and pretended to be generous and let Pan pick first.

"I ...... I want this one! Before Pan decided, he glanced at Hong Tao very smartly, and then followed Hong Tao's eyes to pick a north room, the one Ye Rong chose by himself is the east room, for people who have never lived in this kind of courtyard, they naturally don't know the difference between the north room and the east room, if Hong Tao doesn't tell them, they will not be aware of it after living for half a year. This may be called folklore or culture, which is generally understated and cannot touch these underlying issues.

There are also furniture left by the original landlord in the room, which is tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and can be used when torn apart. Although it is very cold in the room now, it doesn't matter, a small gas heating boiler has been installed in the yard, and each room has hot and cold air control and hot and cold water supply, all this can be achieved as long as the boiler is turned on and wait for ten minutes.

The problem of living is solved, and there is still the problem of eating. For this problem, Hong Tao doesn't plan to completely leave it alone, after all, they are their own guests, and it's a bit unreasonable to let people go to the alley to stutter a small restaurant every day, so Hong Tao discussed it with the two of them, and when he was at home, he would invite them to his own home to eat together, if he had something to do or was not at home, then they would wait for him to go to the restaurant to solve it, as for whether he would order, Hong Tao didn't worry about that, these two are the masters of the world, if you can't look at the picture and choose what you like to eat, Then they deserve it.

After settling the food and lodging of Yerong and Pan, Hong Tao made another call to Lei Che, and after a few words of greeting, he didn't tell her that her half-brother had come to China to see her, but just invited her to come to his house for dinner in the evening. Then he hung up the phone.

"Didn't you say it had nothing to do with Reicher? You lied to me! Yerong also heard the conversation between Hong Tao and Lei Che, and immediately heard the problem, this is not a conversation between the landlord and the tenant at all, more like a boyfriend and girlfriend!

"I'm here to help you punish and punish your sister, she ran away from home without making a sound, and your whole family is worried about her, you can't pay no price at all, you see, if she dresses up beautifully at night and comes to my house, it means that she really misses me, if it's not, it doesn't matter, I don't care if one less person thinks of me, if she doesn't come at all, it's okay, I'll take you to find her tomorrow, but you'd better pray that she can come, if not, I'll increase the house next month!" Hong Tao described his sinister intentions and Yeron, but this Dutchman not only didn't worry about his sister, but also made a bet with Hong Tao for whether his sister was fooled or not.

Yerong was able to borrow Hong Tao's bed cover to make up for the night, but Pan resolutely refused to make do, so as soon as Hong Tao put down his luggage, he had to drive Pan to Beijing to visit the mall, and even buy bed covers and clothes. After Pan learned a little about the weather in Beijing, she immediately hated her bear-like down jacket, the kind of woman who could tolerate the heat and the cold, but could not stand wearing no makeup and no decent clothes that she thought was decent.

Just as Hong Tao was grinning, snorting, and frowning to accompany Pan to shop in Parkson, Bai Chuan's phone chased after him again, this guy didn't know how to know that Hong Tao of Lu Dao had returned to Beijing, and he didn't even give him a day off, and strongly asked Hong Tao to go to their station to do post-production of the video materials taken back by Wei Han.

"Do you have a job to do?" Pan's comprehension ability is amazing, even if he can't understand Chinese, he can guess things well.

"Oh, so you're still an independent writer, and you have a mission to shoot a documentary, I'm very interested, can you take me with you?" I also know a little bit about TV media and can give you the necessary professional support. After listening to Hong Tao's explanation of the general situation, this woman turned into an industry insider again.

"It's okay, but I'm curious, what the hell do you do? You don't have to tell me when you're old, you don't have to keep this job a secret, right? Hong Tao was full of curiosity about this woman, she knew a lot of things, but she couldn't see what she was doing.

"I have a lot of titles, but none of them are my job, I used to do TV shows for a few years, fashion, I got married and then retired, and now I'm a housewife." Pan still didn't give Hong Tao a definite answer.

Despite her strong abilities, clear mind, amazing judgment, and rational thinking that surpasses many men, Pan is still a woman after all. As long as it is a woman, there are only two categories of enthusiasm and special enthusiasm for the activity of visiting the mall, and Pan should belong to the former. She doesn't particularly like to shop, but she does, so Hong Tao has once again become a combination of translator, professional praise commentator, tour guide, driver and porter.
