Chapter 369: The First Intimate Contact
Tong Tong came, and the happiest thing was Dad Hao. Because of the incident he encountered in the morning, he was in a bad mood. But the moment he saw Tong Tong, he happily jumped down from the third step.
Hao Mengyuan was shocked. She had never seen her father's agile figure.
"Oh, Boss Tong is here! Long time no see! Don't be fine!" Dad Hao enthusiastically held Tong Tong's hand as if he had seen his peer friends, and asked enthusiastically: "Why do you remember that I'm sitting here?"
...
Hao Mengyuan scratched her scalp awkwardly. She couldn't say that she invited Tong Tong to be a thug, right?
"That's right... Teacher Hao said that the business here is very good and I'm too busy to come, so I thought about coming and helping." Tong Tong was wise in a hurry and gritted the bullet and wrote down: "I'm not here to help for free. After a few days, it's not so busy here. I'll take my employees to vacation, and you'll have to give me a discount."
"Okay, okay, let alone discounts, it's fine!"
"There are many people, and if it's free, I'm too heartless."
Dad Hao happily repeated the words "It's easy to say, it's easy to say", but Hao Mengyuan was full of concerns. Tong Tong was a person who did what he said. He said he wanted to come here to do "team building", so he would definitely come. Since that's the case, what he said would make a profit from next month, and he might be ruined again.
Alas, flags cannot stand casually.
Dad Hao was too enthusiastic, and asked Tong Tong to have dinner first, and then asked his daughter to clean up the room, so that Tong Tong could rest for a while. Hao Mengyuan whispered to her father: "Dad, you must be reserved, don't be too enthusiastic."
"I know, I know!" Dad Hao agreed randomly, but when he turned around, he greeted Tong Tong more enthusiastically, including but not limited to how his studio is like, how his mother is like, etc.
There were no empty rooms in the entire compound. It was not until a couple checked out that Hao Mengyuan and the cleaning lady Ma cleaner cleaned the room and let Tong Tong rest inside. Tong Tong refused a few words, even saying that he was too busy and had to go back to work in Hong Kong City. Hao Mengyuan asked: "Isn't today a weekend? Do you have to go to the office to sit on duty?"
“Where is the weekend for the boss?”
"You've come from all the way, so let's take a rest here for a night! If you need office, I'll lend you the computer, anyway, I've come with my laptop."
It was difficult to refuse the kindness, so Tong Tong had to agree. He was worried about affecting the business of the homestay. After all, it was the peak season and the smallest rooms were expensive. However, the father and daughter of the Hao family did not allow him to leave, and Hao's father said even more seriously that if Tong Tong left, he would look down on him and never come again.
He spoke very seriously, and Tong Tong had no room for rejection. Since that's the case, let's help them do more work!
After lunch and slept for a few more minutes, Tong Tong took the initiative to clean up with Sister Ma. Dad Hao asked him to rest, but he couldn't stop at all. Even the guests said that Dad Hao had found a good son-in-law, not only a handsome man, but also worked so quickly, and it was really popular.
...
Dad Hao smiled awkwardly and looked at Tong Tong first, as if asking for his opinion. Tong Tong shook his head slightly, Dad Hao understood it and smiled bitterly: "The two are either boyfriend and girlfriend, but just friends with good relationships."
"Oh! Boss Hao, you can't miss such a good young man. If you don't have that mind, I will introduce him to the girl I know!"
"No, no!" Dad Hao said anxiously: "It doesn't mean it's not my son-in-law now, but it doesn't mean it's not. The relationship needs to be cultivated slowly."
Tong Tong pretended not to hear it, and just cared about carrying a huge garbage bag and flashed quickly in front of them. Hao Mengyuan was afraid that her father would cause trouble, so she followed Tong Tong tightly and whispered: "My dad is like this, don't take it to your heart."
"I know, I just felt sorry for you and heard these scandals for no reason."
Hao Mengyuan lowered her head shyly and turned around to work on other things. The guests were still making excuses. If she missed such a good young man, Dad Hao would definitely regret it. In desperation, Tong Tong had to say: "My conditions are average and I can't deserve Teacher Hao. I still have this self-knowledge. Besides, Teacher Hao has a favorite partner, so don't joke about us anymore."
With this explanation, the guests did not make any more noise. But Dad Hao felt very uncomfortable. If his baby daughter still missed her ex-boyfriend, she would probably never get married in this life.
Tong Tong had eyes that found work, so he worked almost constantly. If someone checked out, he would follow the cleaning lady to clean it. A lot of garbage was thrown in the yard, and he also helped to clean it up. Dad Hao became more and more pleasing to him. This young man was not only strong, vigorous, but also very diligent. Although Sun Ping'an was also good, he had a bit dull personality. Except for his better education than Tong Tong, the others were all inferior to him.
Dad Hao's eyes often fell on Tong Tong, and Hao Mengyuan whispered: "Dad, you have to be more reserved, so many pairs of eyes are watching!"
"I like him! I just want such a young man to be a son-in-law!" Dad Hao said sadly: "I really hope that you two will date. If you can't get together, I will feel very uncomfortable."
"Stop getting along, dad. I told you that I haven't forgotten peace yet."
Dad Hao shook his head and sighed, worried. Hao Mengyuan felt a little guilty, after all, she was almost thirty years old, and she still made her father worry about her. She asked Dad to chat with Tong Tong for a while, or go fishing together, but Dad Hao refused: "No, as you said, I can't act too intimate."
"Why? Are you worried that we were successfully matched together?"
"No, even if - I mean, even if you date him in the future, I will be more serious. Look, those guests can see that I really like him, and even please him. If I laugh all day long and are very amiable, he will not be afraid of me. Once I lose my awe, I worry that he will not treat you well."
...
Hao Mengyuan looked at her father's back and felt infinitely moved again. Her father's thoughts were really too warm.
After the sun sets, people wandering around came back one after another, and the homestays became even more lively. Usually, only father Hao and brother-in-law Ma and his wife were taken care of. When the peak season was high, if Hao Mengyuan was not there, it would be difficult for them to be busy.
Not all the guests were friendly, and occasionally some people deliberately made things difficult for them. On the day Tong Tong arrived, a couple of demanding couples stayed in the homestay. The toilet was blocked, the water heater was broken, the slippers were not found, and the shampoo and shower gel were used up... Hao Mengyuan and Sister Ma went in and out of their rooms again and again, solving various problems for them with a good temper. Sister Ma thought she forgot to fill in the things while cleaning, and kept nagging about her getting old and having a bad memory. Hao Mengyuan didn't blame her at all, but comforted her, saying that she was too busy and she wanted to help her with more work.
In the afternoon, the young couple paid a deposit of 20 yuan and went outside to ride a bicycle. As soon as they came back, Hao Mengyuan planned to return the deposit to them, but Tong Tong waved to her to go there. It turned out that the tires behind the bicycle were gone at all. He looked carefully and found that there was a hard nail on it.
"Teacher Hao, you have returned the car, you must at least check it! What is the point of collecting a deposit?"
Tong seemed to be blaming, but in fact she has always been standing by Hao Mengyuan and becoming her strong backing. Hao Mengyuan was in trouble and said to the young couple: "This... I need to compensate if the tire is broken."
"How can this prove that we broke the tire?" The girl immediately retorted: "It may be that this person broke the tire when he parked the car!"
As she said that, she pointed at Tong Tong. Tong Tong was angry and laughed, saying, "Give me the car and I park it. It's that simple, it takes less than five seconds. Let's take a step back and say, even if a nail was stuck in the parking process, all the anger would be radiated in just a few seconds? Do you think this is a balloon? Your frame-up is too unrigorous."
...
The young couple looked at each other and couldn't refute it. This young man who was "doing odd jobs" had a quick mind and thoughts very meticulous. He seemed to be no match for him. Since that was the case, he could only mess around. The boy said brutally: "Maybe this car had been broken long ago. You deliberately lend us your money to extort us!"
"The car is out of breath, and it's very difficult to ride." Tong Tong said: "Have you not noticed it yet? Or have you pushed the car and walked for two hours?"
Tong Tong had to continue asking questions, but was stopped by Hao Mengyuan. Hao Mengyuan laughed and said, "Forget it, this bicycle is a bit old, so it's broken. You guys have fun here. I know where the repair shop is, I'll just go repair it."
Although Hao Mengyuan had a good temper, the young couple was still dissatisfied and mumbled and said something bad. Tong Tong was so angry that he wanted to pull them to argue. Hao Mengyuan said, "Boss Tong, forget it, you can accompany me to repair the car first!"
It was already late and the road in the village was not easy to walk. It was indeed not safe for Hao Mengyuan to go alone. Tong Tong pushed the car and said nothing because he was still sulking. Hao Mengyuan said, "Are you angry with me?"
"No... I know you have difficulties in doing this. I just didn't seek justice for you, and I felt angry."
"Affected by the epidemic, the business of the B&B business has not been very good, and we can make some money in this season. Therefore, we must maintain a good hospitality." Hao Mengyuan said helplessly: "We run B&Bs, not as famous as big hotels, and tourists can only book through the app. On the app, the evaluation of tourists is very important. If there are bad reviews, the business of the B&B business will plummet. You don't know that on the app, you can only complain to us, and we cannot complain to customers."
"That's too unfair! There are so many weirdos in this world, just like the two people just now, they are used to taking advantage of them! Then can't you complain?"
"In the service industry, all kinds of customers have to be well received. This is my father's service purpose." Hao Mengyuan said: "I know that they may have taken away the disposable slippers and toiletries in the room, but we have no choice but to give them one more. Be patient. When I meet such a person, I will try to hone my character."
Tong Tong was still angry. The process of tire repair was not complicated and it was repaired soon. Dad Hao called Hao Mengyuan several times and urged her to go home for dinner. Tong Tong patted the back seat of the bicycle and said, "If you don't mind, I'll take you back!"
Hao Mengyuan bit her lips tightly and shook her head.
The wind blew across the corn field, and the towering corn stalks were rustling. Hao Mengyuan was startled and subconsciously jumped to Tong Tong and said, "I remember... there are several graves in this field."
"Why don't you run away?"
Hao Mengyuan hesitated for a moment and sat on the back seat of the bicycle. But she kept a distance from Tong Tong. She did not grab his waist or even his clothes, but grabbed the back seat of the bicycle tightly.
