The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 187 Once you’re targeted, you can’t escape!

Long-distance shipping.

Offices are set up on both sides.

It was already late when Yang Xiaotao drove the car into the parking lot.

Loosen your muscles. Your buttocks are numb after sitting for a long time.

Just as she was about to go back to her rental apartment, Lin Mu followed her eagerly. Yang Xiaotao turned away and said, "Why are you following me if you're not going back?"

The excited little girl touched her stomach like an eggplant hit by frost and said pitifully, "I'm hungry!"

Yang Xiaotao went out after having a full meal. Lin Mu was waiting for him since early morning for fear of missing him. He only had a few bites of lunch and was already starving.

Yang Xiaotao looked up at the sky speechlessly, having the urge to fire her. She was not her nanny, so how could he be responsible for her eating, drinking, defecating and urinating?

But when I thought of those messy numbers, I could only suppress my anger.

"I really owe you, let's go find something to eat first."

Things are different nowadays. There are now many night snack stalls, and finding something to eat is not a difficult thing.

Just make do with a bowl of fried rice.

Just eating and drinking enough can get rid of people.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to leave, someone grabbed her clothes tightly. She frowned and turned to look at the culprit, "Auntie, what can you do for me?"

Lin Mu touched his nose and smiled ingratiatingly, "Brother Tao, can I just stay with you for one night?"

"My lease is about to expire, and I don't have a place to live for the time being. I won't bother you for long. I will find a place to live as soon as possible."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and refused without thinking, "Go stay in a hotel by yourself."

Lin Mu shook his head and looked at him pitifully, "I don't dare."

The order management during this period was not in place and it was very chaotic. Sometimes people even broke into the house and she was afraid that something irresistible would happen.

"Brother Tao, please, I will find housing as soon as possible."

"I live outside. If I run into any danger, it will interfere with your work. You have to process data from both sides. If something goes wrong and I can't get there in time, it will affect your progress."

Yang Xiaotao pinched his eyebrows. Even though she smiles all day long, she is quite good at threatening people!
In one round, he was caught.

He gnashed his teeth, looking like he wanted to tear her apart, "You'd better find a place to live as soon as possible."

Lin Mu nodded quickly and followed him, "I won't get in your way. I can even help you with the housework."

"I am very diligent and can prepare three meals a day for you."

Yang Xiaotao felt annoyed whenever he heard his chattering voice, as if he was still at home, being corrupted by those three devils.

"Shut up!"

The noise is annoying.

Lin Mu pretended to lock his zipper, and didn't dare to say anything. He followed obediently, with a look of success in his eyes.

The two of them walked one after the other and soon arrived home.

The place I rented earlier, which had a small yard with a kitchen, was not very spacious, but it had everything I needed.

For convenience, Lin Xiaotao bought the house after he made money. As for why he did it so quickly, it was all due to the influence of his brother-in-law.

My brother-in-law saves houses whenever he has money. He already has several houses under his name. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, so he bought this one.

Fortunately, I didn't lose money when I bought it, and I'm making a profit now. There may be room for appreciation in the future. Although it was painful to spend the money at that time, it's worth it now.

Yang Xiaotao took him to the room where he lived and said, "You stay here temporarily. Don't mess up the furnishings inside."

After giving instructions, Yang Xiaotao went to his brother-in-law's room, took his clothes, washed up, and fell on the bed. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Yang Xiaotao heard knocking on the doors and windows. In such hot weather, he was wearing a vest and loose shorts. When he opened the door, his face was full of anger.

"What are you doing again? Can you stop making such a fuss?"

Lin Mu shrank his neck and looked at him with a guilty look on his face, "Can you help me light a fire? I don't know how to do it."

Yang Xiaotao: “…”

"What are you doing in the middle of the night? Didn't you have enough to eat?"

Lin Mu shook his head. "The water from the well is too cold. I want to boil it before washing, but I can't light the stove."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes and felt extremely regretful for bringing this troublemaker home.

"You can't even light a fire, what do you do for a living?"

"Don't you use firewood to cook at home?"

Lin Mu touched his nose and dared not say anything, just listening to his unhappy complaints.

Yang Xiaotao lit the fire in no time. He didn't buy coal. He usually burned firewood. Someone would chop firewood and sell it, which he would store at home and use mostly in winter.

Taking a cold shower in the hot summer is very cool and refreshing.

"If you can't take a shower with cold water, fill two buckets with water and leave them in the sun. When you come back in the evening, the water will be just the right temperature, so you don't have to go through the trouble of boiling water again."

Lin Mu nodded frequently and watched the people leave. He didn't dare to say anything. He took a comfortable bath and felt refreshed.

Lying on Yang Xiaotao's bed, she was so excited that she felt like taking off. She rolled over on it a few times, holding the pillow and smiling foolishly.

Since he can get into my house, he will be able to catch him sooner or later.

Smelling the faint scent of soapberries, I lay on the bed where Yang Xiaotao had slept and fell asleep unknowingly.

After a good sleep, I got up as soon as it was light and prepared breakfast.

As a result, I overestimated myself. The earthen stove was not practical enough and not flexible enough. Just lighting the fire caught me off guard. There was a lot of smoke, and I choked and coughed continuously.

The coughing sound and the smell of smoke made Yang Xiaotao, who was sleeping soundly, jump up instantly. He hurriedly put on his shoes and ran to the kitchen.

As soon as I entered, I saw a lot of smoke, as if the kitchen was about to be set on fire.

"What are you doing so early in the morning? Are you going to burn my house down?"

"Auntie, I lent you a place to live, and you wanted to burn my house down. Can you please have some conscience?"

As he said this, he pulled out all the firewood that had been stuffed in, and after fiddled with it a few times to get air into the pot, the fire was lit. Then he looked at the porridge simmering in the pot and felt an extremely swollen and painful head.

Lin Mu mixed his hands together, looking frustrated, "I just wanted to make some porridge, but I didn't expect that I couldn't light it."

Yang Xiaotao said patiently, "This is firewood. You can't just put it all in at once. It needs some air inside to ignite."

"Do you have any common sense? If you can't even do your job properly, what can you do?"

Lin Mu studied seriously, "I can do it. I will definitely be able to light the fire at noon. Don't be angry. Go wash up first!"

The porridge was cooked, and I quickly fried a side dish.

"The porridge is ready, let's eat it quickly and go to work!"

"I bought some buns specially because I was afraid you would be hungry while loading the goods."

"I can't live here for free, so let me pay for the three meals a day, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

All aspects have been taken into consideration and Yang Xiaotao couldn't find any fault.

I was indeed busy delivering the goods and had no time to bother with her about these trivial matters.
