After all this trouble, Zhao Changan was delayed for nearly an hour before he arrived at the place Tao Jiao mentioned.

He parked the car outside on the avenue and entered the alley.

It is a quaint century-old street paved with blue strips of stone along both sides of the river. There is an ancient stone bridge every three to four hundred meters on the river that is 20 to 30 meters wide.

Old trees along the river cover the river and the streets. In many places, they are already shaded, completely covering the river, the streets on both sides, and the ancient houses with front facades facing the street.

Wall-climbing tigers (Five-leaf Brocade), bougainvillea, gentleman, and morning glory all cover the mottled century-old blue brick and stone walls.

It has a "summer shade" texture.

Zhao Changan came to the river, first climbed onto a stone bridge, and stood under the shade of a tree in the center of the bridge to enjoy the wind for a while.

Suddenly a sentence came to mind, 'You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams.'

After getting off the bridge, we walked for almost a mile. After crossing the bridge, we saw Tao Jiao drinking tea by the river with a handsome and well-dressed young man under a big green tree.

Under several old trees in this section, small tables, stools, and lounge chairs are arranged along the row—

At this time, it was already full of people, drinking tea, eating stone jelly, playing cards, and talking about business.

In short, it is not easy to find such a good place to return to nature in the core area of ​​​​Mingzhu, a metropolis.

"I'm still not familiar with Mingzhu, so I searched a lot. Boss, bring me a bowl of stone jelly and a cup of green tea."

Zhao Changan walked over, pulled up a chair and sat down, took out a cigarette and gestured to the young man: "Want one?"

"Thank you, I'm enjoying tea."

The young man refused with a smile, but Zhao Changan knew from the look in his eyes that he was a chain smoker!

"I made it so obvious, you must be delayed by something."

Tao Jiao was not that easy to fool and directly exposed Zhao Changan's lies.

"I just saw him standing on that bridge, more than three hundred meters away from here."

The young man smiled and explained for Zhao Changan, explaining that Zhao Changan's statement of "looking for a large circle" was not without purpose.

While talking to Zhao Changan, he said: "Qi Peng and Tao Jiao are classmates in the same college, but I am two years older than her. My ancestral home is in Shancheng. I went with my father to visit the tombs of my ancestors to pay homage during the Qingming Festival last year, so I have a lot of affection for Shancheng."

Zhao Changan was immediately confused by Qi Peng's words, 'I just saw him standing on that bridge,' and thought of his own words, 'You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs.

cold.

Listening to his words "I have a lot of feelings for the mountain city", I curled up in my heart. You have a lot of "feelings" for Tao Jiao, a pretty girl from Gwangju, right?

The stall owner brought a bowl of crystal clear stone jelly and a cup of green tea.

At this time, Qi Peng's cell phone rang.

"Mom, I'm in Jinling and can't get to Mingzhu. Besides, my sister-in-law and uncle are on vacation for the past two days, so they should be very busy. Well, well, I'll go if I have time, but I'm going to Jiangcheng tomorrow. I'll see after that.

Should I go to my sister-in-law's house in Mingzhu or go back to Yanjing directly?"

Qi Peng hung up the phone and said to Tao Jiao and Zhao Changan with a smile: "I have a relative in Mingzhu. My mother thought I was coming to Mingzhu, so she went to Mingzhu to sit there, but we will talk about it later when we have the opportunity."

Zhao Changan thought that it couldn't be such a coincidence. He was Qi Xiu's relative in Yanjing, right?

"Actually, Brother Qi, you don't need to go there. With Lawyer Zheng, we are very confident."

Tao Jiao was really not used to going to Chen City with this senior whom she didn't know very well, but she was helped. You must know that Lawyer Zheng is a famous barrister in China. If Qi Peng hadn't introduced him, she wouldn't have even contacted him.

Can't even see his face.

"Since we are all here, why don't I go? It's okay for Lawyer Zheng to litigate in an international metropolis like Yanjing Pearl. But in small cities in the Midwest, sometimes his reasoning is that no matter how strict the prohibition is, it is not the key to the decision.

.”

Tao Jiao and Zhao Changan both understood.

"Ling ring ring~"

At this time, Qi Peng's cell phone rang again. He glanced at it and said with a smile: "The inspector is here."

Press the answer key.

Zhao Changan's impression of Qi Peng suddenly changed greatly, and he knew that he had guessed wrong about his gentlemanly behavior.

It turns out that he is really doing good things for others.

After Qi Peng and his girlfriend finished talking on the phone, Tao Jiao explained to Zhao Changan: "Brother Qi said that he would like to come to Mingzhu for a long time and asked me to call two people to drink with him, preferably from the mountain city, men who can drink.

College students who are not snobbish are somewhat famous.”

"Actually, my condition is tailor-made for you. I am Tang Shuang's cousin."

To Zhao Changan's surprise, Qi Peng was very honest: "Xiaoshuang and I often communicate by letter and phone. In the past six months, she has always talked about people and things in One Nano, such as being entrusted with important tasks by you and making her forget to eat and sleep.

Got a new web page layout, made villa drawings, was responsible for the test machine exhibition in the One Nano red building area, and was tanned into black charcoal,——"

Qi Peng spoke with great interest. After listening to this, Zhao Changan lowered his head and drank the stone jelly.

He knew that Tang Shuang had always complained, but he really didn't expect that the complaints would be so big. So would her burden be reduced next school year?

"——But I didn't listen to her complaining, but it sounded like she was showing off to me. I can feel that she really likes her work and the atmosphere in your one nanometer."

"Uh~"

This turn of events caught Zhao Changan off guard.

"Let's go, I'm treating you tonight, don't compete with me. When it comes to the friendship between landlords, I stayed in Mingzhu for three years in high school. Haha, this is exactly the opposite of Xiaoshuang."

Qi Peng shouted to the old man who was leisurely playing with the birds: "Boss, check out!"

Under Qi Peng's guidance, Zhao Changan drove the car to the destination and magically discovered that this place was actually the barbecue stall that Lu Feifei brought here last year.

"The barbecue here is amazing. Haha, I often came here when I was in high school. I heard from a local brother that the boss was also very good at fighting back then. Later, he got into an accident in Africa and lost one of his legs, so he opened this barbecue stall.

"

Qi Peng said with a smile: "Actually, the dividends given to him by the Lu family every year are enough for him to eat as much as he wants. Barbecue should be a hobby, so the goods are genuine and the price is fair."

Zhao Changan glanced at Qi Peng. It seemed that among the second generations Zhao Changan had come into contact with so far, Zhai Shaobai was a bit stupider.

But that grandson was able to get into Fuzhou University by relying on the college entrance examination, so he was obviously not an idiot.

In short, there is no one that can make him get along as easily as reading a kindergarten dictionary.

That night, Zhao Changan and Qi Peng shared a bottle of Yanghe Daqu while eating mutton skewers, and the other played a bottle of ice-cold beer.

In Qi Peng's words, Zhao Changan has to take an exam tomorrow. Let's have a drink when we meet for the first time and prepare well for the next meeting.

What surprised Zhao Changan was that Tao Jiao could actually drive and got her driver's license in the second half of last year.
Chapter completed!
