The hard work paid off, and an hour later I actually saw Tao Zisheng coming over with vegetables.
He also saw Chen Miao smiling at him, with an expression of surprise on his face.
"Finally I found you. I went to Zhao's house and told you that you just put down your gifts and left. I went to the immigration office, but there was no news about you."
"Chen Miao, my aunt is still talking about you today and asked me to go around Zhao's house in ten days. If you come over, I can see you. Come on, I will take you home."
Knowing that now was not the time to talk, Tao Zisheng whispered about the situation nearby.
“The house is quite nice.”
“I bought it, but the ownership transfer was just the day before yesterday. I haven’t packed it up yet, so I didn’t go to the immigration office to register it.
Auntie, look who's here?" Tao Zisheng shouted excitedly.
Tao Hong is now more than six months pregnant. Because she is afraid of danger, she does not go out at all even if she is in the house.
Hearing her nephew's voice, she felt a little expectant. Before she got out of bed, the person she was looking forward to was standing in front of her with a smile on her face.
"Be careful and don't worry."
"Can I not be anxious? I finally see my family."
Chen Miao stepped forward to help Tao Hong, really worried that she might make a mistake.
"Don't get excited, am I here now?"
Tao Zisheng was also very excited and felt that it was much easier to talk when he got home.
Tao Hong had too many things to say to Chen Miao, so she held on to her hand and wouldn't let go.
"This house is quite nice. I heard from Tao Zisheng that I bought it. That's right. The house will always be the last harbor in my heart."
"Yes, the houses here are really expensive. We and I spent more than half of our money on them."
Chen Miao smiled and took out a cloth bag. "Mr. Tao asked me to tell you two that you don't have to worry about money."
Tao Hong sighed, "We can't help our eldest brother while he still supports us."
"In Mr. Tao's heart, he is content as long as you are safe."
Tao Hong smiled and nodded, "Yes."
"Chen Miao, I want to find a job." Tao Zisheng said excitedly.
Chen Miao looked at the young man and said, "Do you think your father asked you to come here to find a job?"
Tao Zisheng was stunned by the question, and then shook his head.
"I think you should study. Study independently. Our country is poor and backward, and we need outstanding talents to build it."
Tao Zisheng stared at Chen Miao for a while, then nodded heavily, "I understand,"
"It's better if you think clearly. It is true that work can support yourself, but have you ever thought that it is just a small profit in front of you?
Your family background is superior and can give you opportunities to study, so you have to have a long-term perspective."
"Okay, I understand."
Tao Hong said it to herself while laughing, but this boy just said that he was old enough and didn't want to spend the family's money.
Now Chen Miao said that he listened. In fact, no matter who said it, as long as he listened, his nephew was smart. It would be an honor for the Tao family if he could learn from it and serve the motherland one day.
"I'll go to the school and ask." Tao Zisheng thought that he was an adult and his aunt was still pregnant, so he could handle everything by himself.
"Be careful." He couldn't help but reply.
There were only two women left at home. Chen Miao said the purpose of coming here this time. "It's all decided. We just have to wait and see when Huang Youwei's goods are ready."
"How to arrange the ship?"
"It's not decided yet. I want to rent a boat and go back by myself. I'll go to the dock tomorrow."
"I know a man who runs a private boat."
Chen Miao understood instantly. "Introduce it to me. If Huang Youwei and I can be separated, it will be good for him."
"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to find him."
"Can you do it?"
"Why can't it be done? Let's go, just leave a note for Zisheng."
Chen Miao walked carefully beside Tao Hong, fearing any danger.
"He should be at home at this time. He even gave me fish yesterday."
The two found a rickshaw, and this time they came to the slums. But it was from Dongcheng, and they were not with Tao Juncheng's friends.
Chen Miao followed Tao Hong to the door of a house and saw that it was in tatters and a little better than her own mud house.
The person who opened the door was a little girl. Women in the South are very beautiful. She looks very cute with good skin.
"Sister Tao Hong, my eldest brother is at home."
"Well, I have something to do with him."
As he was talking, a man came out. He looked to be in his thirties.
"Xiaohong? What do you want to do here?"
"Aman, I have something to ask you."
When Tao Hong said this, Aman immediately nodded, "Come in."
Chen Miao glanced at Tao Hong, who had not changed much. She was pretty good. She was born as a young lady and was not squeamish at all.
The room was quite dark, and it took a while to get used to it.
"What's wrong with Xiao Hong?"
"Aman, this is my sister, she wants to use the boat."
Chen Miao immediately said, "Hello, I have a batch of goods that I want to ship to the other side."
"Yeah, no problem."
Chen Miaoxin said it was because she had a particularly good relationship with Tao Hong, otherwise she wouldn’t even ask what kind of product it was?
"When will it be ready to ship?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow, what's the price?"
"With Xiaohong here, I only keep gas money."
Chen Miao felt quite embarrassed and thought about giving more when the time comes.
Since there is no problem here, we need to go back to Huang Youwei and the others. But we still need to send Tao Hong back first, because she is worried about being alone.
"Isn't it okay if you just live at home?"
"We still need to find Huang Youwei and the others. It's more convenient to live outside. By the way. Do you want to write a letter to Mr. Tao?"
"Do you have time to send it there?"
"Of course, there are still 10,000 pairs of shoes that have not been packed. I just want to take them back this time."
"Be careful on the road."
"I don't know how to arrange it yet, I will be careful."
Chen Miao returned to the hotel. Huang Youwei hasn't come back yet, and he probably will soon.
I was sitting alone in the lobby of the hotel looking at all kinds of people. In fact, there were really not many foreigners.
The newspapers here are quite interesting. You can see a lot of gossip news now.
An hour later, the two appeared in the lobby and saw Chen Miao who was reading the newspaper.
"How did you find Tao Hong?"
"I found it, but it wasn't the Immigration Bureau. I met Tao Zisheng on the way back."
"What kind of luck do you have?"
"Really? I also think I'm very lucky, and I thought I might not be able to find them this time."
The two of them also sat down. "Mr. Lane, I have found a private boat. I don't know when it can be arranged?"
"Smuggling ships are very risky." Huang Youwei disagreed.
"Mr. Huang, I think a private boat is better. It's smaller. I don't want to dock at the dock, which saves some unnecessary trouble."
"But there are a lot of coast guards at sea, so it's not as smooth as you think."
"It doesn't matter, let's try it this time."
Seeing Chen Miao insisting so much, it was hard to say anything.
