Chun Tao couldn't fall asleep after lying down again, and Zhou Kuiruo, who had been holding her, also noticed the stiffness of her body, and kept stroking her arm, silently comforting.

I don't know how long it took, Chun Tao finally fell asleep groggily. In the morning, Chun Tao sat on the bed, looked at the brilliant sunshine outside, and decided to put this matter behind and live a good life.

Too many things happened at the end of the year, not only did the Zhou family not have the atmosphere of the New Year, but even the village did not have much festive feeling. Only the laughter of children and the sound of firecrackers add a little bit of the atmosphere of the New Year.

The new year has arrived, but the money is not so easy. Chun Tao had almost spent the money she had borrowed from Shopkeeper Qi, but so far she had not found anything to make ends meet.

Just when Chun Tao was at a loss, He Ruce found her. When Chun Tao watched September bring He Ruce to the house, the whole person was stunned. "You're coming? Why? ”

"What? Can't I come? He Ruce crossed the spring peach and looked around like his own yard.

"Something?" Chun Tao asked September to go to the stove room to find Lamei, and she kept up with He Ruce, who was wandering around.

"Of course there is! You won't treat me to a cup of tea? ”

"It's just water." Chun Tao led him into the hall, and Aunt Zhou heard a man's voice in the house, opened the door and came out.

"What is this?" Aunt Zhou's eyes swirled back and forth between Chun Tao and He Ruce.

"This is..."Chun Tao stood up and was about to introduce, but He Ruce talked about it himself.

He Ruce got up and saluted Aunt Zhou, "Hello, Brother Zhou and I were classmates before, and I came to visit today." ”

With his polite appearance and that harmless face, He Ruce immediately won the trust of Aunt Zhou. "It turned out to be Quier's classmate! It's been so many years, I didn't expect you to still be in touch. ”

"I had a very good personal relationship with Brother Zhou when I was in the academy, but I couldn't find time to visit before."

"I see, it's hard for you to come once, why don't you have a light meal here in the evening!"

"Don't bother, there is something to do at home later, I will say a few words to Brother Zhou and leave."

"Okay, then I must come back next time I have a chance."

"Good!" Aunt Zhou said a few more words to He Ruce before returning to the room with a smile.

Looking at the obvious smile on Aunt Zhou's face, Chun Tao was dumbfounded, and then turned her head to stare at He Ruce. It's really amazing, just met and the relationship is so good?

"What? Envy me? "I have to say that it is outrageous in terms of communication. Even if it is a person like Chun Tao who has interpersonal communication barriers, he can continue to talk.

Chun Tao didn't want to answer him, got up and prepared to go to the backyard to call Zhou Kuiruo. He Ruce immediately opened the fan and stopped Chun Tao. "What are you doing here?"

"Call someone, you're not looking for... Am I a good friend? ”

He Ruce shook his head with a smile and withdrew the fan. "I came to look for you this time, not for him, I just said that to reassure your mother-in-law."

Chun Tao frowned, understanding what he meant. "You're looking for me... What's the matter? ”

"The hot pot you mentioned last time, I've already found a good shop, and I've already found someone to match the base." He Ruce stopped and looked at Chun Tao when he said this.

Chun Tao didn't care why he suddenly figured it out, but he kept looking at him with inquiring eyes, which made Chun Tao swallow uneasily. "So... What do you want? ”

"I don't think what you said last time was very comprehensive, and I came here to discuss some details with you. I think you must know, right? ”

"Yes, but..."

"The conditions are easy to discuss, look at it! In the future, the profit of the store is twenty-eight, you are two and I are eight, and the management is responsible for me, you can't interfere, how? ”

Chun Tao shook her head and stretched out four fingers. "I'm four... You six. ”

"You..." He Ruce didn't expect Chun Tao to have this trick, he was stunned for a while, and then he shook his head and smiled bitterly coquettishly. You're asking for a lot of money! ”

"But twenty-eight, it's too low."

"Then your four or six are too tall, I am in Zhang Luo inside and out, and you have a drawing and idea."

"But these are the rarest." Chun Tao did not budge in the slightest.

"Yes, but I can open a store without consulting you, and then slowly find out the problem, so it's okay," He Ruce talked about business, and his cynical temperament was restrained, and he was very serious.

"But in this way, you will be very troublesome, and you will have to deal with a lot later. It's better to solve it at the beginning. ”

He Ruce's face changed, and he switched to the appearance of a playboy. "You shouldn't have deliberately shouted so high, and then you and I would give way to each other, right?"

Chun Tao knew that He Ruce would see through her careful thoughts, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, so she nodded generously. "Then will you let me?"

"Okay, three seven is three seven." He Ruce looked at Chun Tao appreciatively, "Fortunately, you don't look good, otherwise..."

This man... It's really upright! Chun Tao, who was physically attacked, didn't react, after all, she never cared about her appearance.

"Let's get down to business!" Chun Tao was about to start talking about things, but He Ruce kept looking around. "Do you have a problem?"

Hearing Chun Tao's voice, He Ruce glanced back at her, looked around again, and beckoned to her, but Chun Tao was unmoved, he had to move the chair in the direction of Chun Tao. "Why didn't I see Brother Zhou?"

This sneaky look, and this question, it looks like a cheating scene anywhere! Chun Tao immediately distanced the two, "He's reading in the backyard, if you want to see it, go in by yourself." ”

He Ruce looked at the direction of the backyard, and whispered to Chun Tao: "Have you told Brother Zhou about the cooperation between you and me?" ”

"Nope."

"Then don't say it, don't say it in the future."

Chun Tao frowned and looked at him puzzled, "Why?" ”

"This matter is a long story, in short, don't let Brother Zhou know about the cooperation between you and me, otherwise he will definitely stop it."

Chun Tao stared at He Ruce and looked at him seriously. "What does it have to do with me? He doesn't seem to have a crush on you, but you're treating him... And very enthusiastic. ”

"I said it, it's a classmate relationship, and we used to study together in the academy. Don't think about it. Looking at Chun Tao's skeptical eyes, He Ruce rolled his eyes weakly.

"Then how is he..."Chun Tao still didn't understand the enigmatic emotional entanglement between the two.

"Okay, don't ask this, I have some questions here about this hot pot restaurant, you can solve them for me first."

He Ruce seems to have a lot of magic in his body, Chun Tao usually stutters when he speaks in front of unfamiliar people, but he doesn't seem to be in front of him. talked endlessly about modern hot pot restaurants.

He Ruce is very smart, he can quickly react to every point Chun Tao said, quickly accept it, and then improve it and apply it to the hot pot restaurant.

Within a few days, Chun Tao received an invitation from He Ruce, and the hot pot restaurant was about to open.

The time for the county exam is getting closer and closer, and Zhou Kuiruo can't do without books every day, and sometimes he sleeps directly in the study at night. Aunt Zhou's body has been getting worse and worse since she fainted last time, and everything at home is done by Lin Tian and Lamei. Chun Tao couldn't go to a crowded place alone, so she pushed the invitation.

However, the next day, Chun Tao still took September and October to the hot pot restaurant to have a look, and the signboard was simple and clear "He's Hot Pot Restaurant".

"Sister Chun Tao, this is the hot pot you talked about last time?" Chun Tao led the two children into the lobby, there were not many people in the store, but there were a lot of them, which was very in line with the appearance of the new opening.

Chun Tao looked around, but didn't find He Ruce's shadow. Later, he reacted, He Ruce's family is big, he won't stare at such a small shop all day long, so he led the children to buy rice again.

October brought a rattan ball to play with in his hand, and accidentally slipped his hand and fell, and Chun Tao chased the ball to the corner of the alley. Chun Tao picked up the ball and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"What the hell are you going to do? I told you not to mess around, why are you doing this? ”

"What did I do? I didn't do anything! "Why is this sound more familiar? Chun Tao tried to lie on the wall and listened carefully.

"You didn't do it? You know if you don't know if you're moving so much, they're going to target you. ”

"Heh~ Do you think Young Master Ben cares?"

What a strategy. Hearing this, Chun Tao immediately confirmed the identity of that person, and with such a frivolous tone, there was only He Ruce.

"Of course you don't care, what do you care? You don't care about anything. The person who talked to He Ruce seemed to be angry, and he was suppressing his anger when he spoke.

Chun Tao couldn't help frowning when she heard the words full of anger, and then realized that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she turned around and left.

Chun Tao returned the ball to October, "Sister Chun Tao, why are you so slow!" ”

"The ball rolls too far." After Chun Tao finished speaking, she glanced back at the alley, and when she was about to turn her head, she saw the man known as "Wu Ye" that day, followed by He Ruce.

Xu is Chuntao's gaze was too hot and was discovered by the two. He Ruce stepped forward to greet Chun Tao, and Wu Ye also followed. "Brother and sister? Why are you here? ”

Wu Ye was tall and had a straight face, and he looked like no one should enter, which scared September and October.

They probably didn't find out I was eavesdropping! Chun Tao, who was weak-hearted, glanced at Wu Ye, and immediately withdrew his gaze, it was really terrifying. "Buy... Shopping. ”

"Why are you stuttering again? Wasn't it okay last time, could it be..."He Ruce approached Chun Tao and whispered in his ear: "You are all pretending?" ”

Chun Tao only cared about avoiding Wu Ye's sharp eyes, and forgot to dodge He Ruce, which made him so close.

Chun Tao took a few steps back, widening the distance between her and He Ruce. "No, I... You're thinking too much, I... I'll go first. ”

A woman's intuition told her that Wu Ye was not easy to mess with and dangerous.

"It's... Running so fast? He Ruce looked at the back of Chun Tao who fled speechlessly, and patted Wu Ye's shoulder. You're angry, and my store is open, why don't I do it, please have a light meal? ”

Wu Ye hooked the corners of his mouth, and He Ruce knew that he agreed. "Okay! Let's go! ”
