As a result, everyone had another drink that night, and Austin opened the three bottles of gifts. Most of the people present, including Austin's Indian grandfather, were once again under the influence of Chinese liquor.
, before 9 o'clock, they were all helped back to the room by the women at home. Only the Liu family, Hong Tao, Pawei, and Old Gale were left on the table. They made a pot of tea and continued chatting nonsense as if they were fine.
.
"Hong Tao, do you have any plans these days? If so, remember to give me a call. In this place, you are half a landlord, and we, father and daughter, are blind to each other." Boss Liu sipped.
After drinking hot tea, I started thinking about the next activity again.
"Aren't you going back to China?" Hong Tao was a little surprised. According to tourists like Boss Liu, there is not much time to stay with a visa.
"Well, I don't want to go back just yet. I plan to stay here for a while. To be honest, the epidemic in China is quite serious now. I heard that martial law has been imposed in Beijing. Let's not feel uncomfortable going back." Boss Liu
Lowering his voice, he approached Hong Tao mysteriously and said.
"Oh, I heard about it too. It's okay not to go back. I can check out the situation here and have fun by the way." Hong Tao knew that most of what Boss Liu said was true, but the martial law thing was a bit exaggerated.
It is to strengthen the control of floating population.
"So, originally I wanted to go back to Vancouver. Your brother Liu has a house there. Now I don't plan to go back. I want your sister-in-law to go back. Meizi and I will find a place to live in Toronto first. We can still live here.
As a companion, when I returned to Vancouver, I met everywhere except the casino.
I know, it’s boring. By the way, help me ask your neighbors if there is a house for rent where they live. It should be spacious and have ready-made furniture. The price is not an issue." This boss Liu is quite similar to Hong Tao.
Yeah, if you say the wind is like the rain, if you don’t fart overnight, you’re all in a bad temper.
"Gail, Pawei, are there any houses for rent near your home? Mr. Liu wants to live in Toronto for a while. If there is a house for rent, he doesn't have to live in a hotel." Hong Tao asked Gail and Pawei.
"I don't have one at home. If my wife hadn't been at home, I would have rented the house to Boss Liu. He is one of your rich Chinese people. He shouldn't care about the rent!" Pawei smiled evilly and whispered to Hong Tao.
"I didn't pay attention to whether there are any houses for rent in our residential area, but I can help them find out when I go back." Old Gale also shook his head. He only went out for a walk again during the time when Hong Tao came. He usually went out for a walk.
He rarely leaves the house.
"Hey, Captain, why don't you rent the house to Mr. Liu, so that he and Hong Tao can live closer, and you can have someone in your house to talk to you, while the teacher is alone. Aren't you annoyed?"
Pawei suddenly made a suggestion, which also stunned Old Gale. It seemed that he was a little tempted by this suggestion.
"If it's not troublesome, you can really treat them as tenants. They won't be able to stay for too long. I estimate it will only be 2 or 3 months at most. Rent is not a problem, and Ms. Liu's English is just okay.
." When Hong Tao heard it, he said, "It's reliable. This is the most reliable idea among all Pawei's ideas."
"Are you willing to guarantee them? I'm not talking about money. It's about people. After all, they are foreigners. Oh, I'm not talking about you. You are different from them. I know you, but I don't know them." Lao Gai
I guess I'm still not used to the way Boss Liu and his family behaved when they first came here, and I'm worried that it won't be easy to get along with them in the future.
"Okay, I promise, they have just arrived and are not quite accustomed to the environment here. And you know, rich people always have some problems, but I can convince them and they won't cause you any trouble." Hong Tao pondered.
After thinking for a moment, I might as well give this favor away. Although Boss Liu said
It's hard to tell in a short time, but after these two days of contact, he is considered a relatively easy-to-get-together person, especially as a rich man, his character is quite good. Of course, if he has the same temper as his daughter,
Then Hong Tao will definitely not care about this matter, and the further away the better.
"Okay, since you vouch for it, I agree, but my house hasn't been cleaned for a long time. You have to help me clean it up when I get back." Old Gale agreed happily, and the arrangement was also very enjoyable.
Now he regards Hong Tao as an outsider.
"Okay, why don't you hire a nanny or a housekeeper? Not only can he help you with work, but he can also chat with you." Hong Tao had some objections to Old Gale's idea. This old man's military rank is quite high, and his pension is probably not enough.
You can tell by looking at his house. However, he insists on living alone. He only has the opportunity to see his grandson and granddaughter during the winter and summer vacations every year. How lonely it is to be alone!
"Why don't I hire you to be my housekeeper? You can stay here and live here. Don't you like fishing? There are countless lakes here, enough for you to fish. We can also go hunting in the winter, and I can teach you how to play ice hockey.
If you want to ski, if you stay here for 1 or 2 years, I can also help you apply for a long-term residence permit, so that we can go to the United States to participate in a fishing competition somewhere, which is held every year and is very lively." Old Gale really took it seriously.
Hong Tao became a relative and actually raised this issue proactively.
"This is a good suggestion, Tao. I like you too. We can compete together. Depending on your ability, you will definitely get the trophy. You should consider it carefully." Pavey is worthy of being Old Gale's first mate.
The gong was struck loudly.
"Ah! I really haven't thought about this issue. I... I promise you, I will consider it carefully, but now let's talk about Mr. Liu." Hong Tao was really touched.
Over the past few months, this old man has really taken care of me as if he were his junior. Regardless of whether this thing is feasible or not, this affection is worth cherishing.
"Well, we should be more cautious about this matter. There is no problem with Mr. Liu's matter. He can go back with us tomorrow. I have everything everywhere. If they don't mind, they can use it first." Old Gale did not dwell on this anymore.
Question, he may also feel that raising this matter is a bit too reckless.
"Brother Liu, it's settled. You and Miss Liu can rent Mr. Gale's house. He has several rooms. He is the only one living now. He and I are neighbors. You can discuss the specific price after seeing the house.
Do you think this will work?" After Hong Tao took care of Old Gale, he turned back to discuss with Boss Liu. If it wasn't for losing his temper, he wouldn't be too lazy to meddle in these nosy matters. Although the matter is not big, the responsibility is not small, and he still has to pay
Boss Liu guarantees.
"You are reliable in doing things. If you do this job beautifully, then we will be neighbors! Hahaha..." Boss Liu seemed quite satisfied.
"How many rooms are there? How many bathrooms? Is the living environment safe?" Miss Liu still interrogated prisoners.
"Hey, you will know clearly when you go and see it. It is considered a wealthy area. They are all small villas with gardens. As for whether they meet your standards, I can't say."
Hong Tao was already used to this young lady's character. I'm afraid she was just like his father said. She wasn't really a bastard, but she had this way of speaking.
There is something wrong with her style and thinking mode. She was probably used to it since she was a child. When she grew up, no one wanted to mess with her, so she couldn't feel anything wrong. So Hong Tao was not angry at all. For this kind of person,
She won't feel sorry for you even if you make her angry to death. Either you ignore her or you fool her. Hong Tao chose the latter.
"Stop being so particular. I've told you so many times that it's not like being at home when you're out. You have to be polite. I've been looking for a house for you for a long time, and you still talk like that. If Hong Tao hadn't had a good temper, he would have ignored it.
, OK, you go to bed first. Tomorrow you take your mother to the airport first, and I will go see the house." Boss Liu seems to have no good solution for his daughter. She is so old that she cannot be scolded. He and
Hong Tao also fooled her.
"Humph!" Before leaving, Miss Liu glared at Hong Tao with her knife-like eyes, then twisted her butt and walked upstairs like a model. If you didn't look at what she just said, this
Her posture and figure are all signs of a well-educated and successful woman.
"Oh, it's such a pity that this skin has grown on her body!" Hong Tao looked at Miss Liu's graceful back and swallowed secretly. God is so wasteful! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature,
