After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

When Tao Junle returned to his room, Yang Jixia was not lying on the bed to rest, but squatting beside the bed, struggling with the coal stove that Guo Xin had temporarily found for him.

He knew how to use a coal stove, but today he couldn't light it, not sure if it was the stove or the firewood.

There was a puff of white smoke beside the bed, and when Tao Junle entered the room, he thought he had entered a fairyland.

Fortunately, as soon as Tao Junle came in, Yang Jixia's coal stove was lit.

He opened the window and picked up the paper that Tao Junle used to practice writing from the table, trying to fan the smoke out of the room as quickly as possible.

But after just two swipes, the stack of papers in his hand was snatched away by Tao Junle.

He had to snatch it away. That was Tao Junle's most precious novel, and it was very likely to be the life script of him and Tong Jia in their next life. He couldn't put it down and kept copying and memorizing it, even without putting it down when he slept. How could he allow Yang Jixia to use his treasure as a fan now?

After snatching the novel, Tao Junle glared at Yang Jixia.

Yang Jixia said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch your things, it's just that the smoke in the room was a little thick, so I wanted to fan the smoke out quickly.

If you are unhappy, I won’t touch your things anymore.

I've lit the stove and will put it next to the bed at night. You can sleep outside so it'll be a little warmer. I..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Tao Junle holding a piece of paper in front of him.

It said: [You are very important and cannot get sick. You sleep outside and I sleep inside.]

Yang Jixia’s importance is only one of the reasons. The most important thing is that he doesn’t want Yang Jixia and Tong Jia to get too close, even if they are only separated by a wall.

Yang Jixia felt that no matter how important he was, he would not let a child give in to him, so he wanted to bargain with Tao Junle again, but Tao Junle refused to communicate with him at all. He changed his clothes and went straight to the kang to lie down at the innermost part.

Okay, everyone has lain down, the child is very strong, and the quilt is almost warm, so it would be even more difficult for me to ask to sleep in it.

So he moved the coal stove to another position before lying down to sleep.

Tong Jia was always worried that the two people would have a conflict if they were in the same room, so she kept putting her ear to the secret door, trying to listen to what was going on over there. After listening for a long time, she didn't hear any sound.

Only then did he remember that Tao Junle couldn't speak, and Yang Jixia's emotions were extremely stable. He probably wouldn't bother with him even if Tao Junle turned his face away.

Thinking of this, Tong Jia went to bed with peace of mind.

The next morning, Tong Jia originally wanted to take Diao Ren and Xiao Ting shopping after breakfast, but because there were still many people coming to buy buns, Diao Ren needed to take care of them in the front, and Xiao Ting needed to help Tian Ma prepare the bun fillings for lunch, so both of them wanted to wait a little longer.

Tong Jia had no choice but to mobilize other people to help Tian Ma prepare the filling for the buns. After all the buns in the front hall were bought, Diao Ren looked at the time and took the initiative to find Tong Jia, saying that they could go shopping together.

The others had been hoping they would leave quickly. When they heard Diao Ren say they could go out, Tian Ma even gave him and Xiao Ting five silver dollars each so they could buy something for themselves.

This money was given to them by Guo Xin after he came back yesterday. Because of this money, Diao Ren and Xiao Ting felt that Tian Ma was like their own mother.

Xiao Ting even said, "Godmother, the filling for the dumplings is ready, and the older brothers can also make dumplings.

You haven't had a rest for a long time since you opened the store. Why don't you go for a walk on the street with us today?

At noon, my brother and I will treat you to a meal, let's..."

"My wife asked you to go out, so there must be something else. Why would I follow her and cause trouble?

You guys should help Madam well. Next time, we will just ask for leave and go alone, the three of us, so as not to put Madam in a difficult position.

You guys should go quickly." Tian's mother had a meeting to attend, so of course she wouldn't go with them.

Tong Jia saw Diao Ren was about to speak, so she took Xiao Ting's arm with one hand, pushed Diao Ren with the other, and said, "If there is no advance arrangement today, we won't ask Tian Ma to come along. Tomorrow, Tian Ma will definitely have a day off. You three can discuss how to arrange it then.

It’s getting late, let’s go.”

If we don't leave now, by the time the people at the bun shop finish their meeting, we won't be able to steam the buns in time for lunch.

After the three people left, the people in the bun shop immediately cleaned up the front hall and started their busy meeting.

After Xiaoting followed Tongjia out, she kept picking at her fingers, as if she was counting something. After she figured it out, she pulled Tongjia's sleeve and asked, "Madam, my brother and I followed you out today to buy a birthday present for our godmother. Tomorrow we'll accompany her to celebrate her birthday. That means we won't be working for two days. How much salary will be deducted for these two days?"

How about I not go today, and buy it tomorrow when I go out with my godmother..."

Tong Jia shook her head and said, "No deduction of wages, this is what I planned to discuss with Lao Guo and the others.

We have enough staff in our store now. I plan to give us six to eight days of vacation every month. I will tell you how to rest and how to arrange the staff after I discuss it with Lao Guo.

So, you don’t have to worry about having your wages deducted.”

"Is there still a holiday?" Xiaoting asked happily.

Tong Jia nodded and said, "People are not machines, they must have a balance between work and rest.

I didn’t get the money back before, and I had no money, so I had to pool my resources.

Now we have money in our hands, and this money is our confidence. We don't need to be so nervous. We can rest when we need to rest and work when we need to work...

Hey~~~ Why are there so many soldiers on the street? What happened?

Before Tong Jia finished speaking, she saw a military vehicle driving past her, followed by another group of soldiers.

The first intersection they passed was like this, but she didn't pay much attention to it. When they went to the next intersection, it was still like this.

This made Tong Jia think about it.

Were the people from the underground underground causing trouble? Or had Pan Meiying brought people to catch the car thieves because of the missing car? Or had the bodies of the Zhang family been discovered?

No matter which possibility it is, it is related to Tong Jia, and she has to find out the situation.

He scanned the street and didn't see anyone he knew, but he saw a group of soldiers enter a cloth shop. After staying inside for a while, they were sent out by the shop owner and then went to the next shop.

Tong Jia went straight into the cloth shop and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, my elder is having a birthday and I want to make her a dress. Do you have any recommendations for fabric?"

The shopkeeper immediately and enthusiastically inquired about the birthday person's gender, age, height and weight, and then introduced Tong Jia to the fabrics he thought were suitable.

Tong Jia also took the opportunity to ask about the fabrics and clothing styles, and found out from the shopkeeper what the soldiers were looking for in the cloth shop.

After choosing a piece of cloth for Tian Ma to make a gown, Tong Jia brought Diao Ren and Xiao Ting out of the cloth shop.

Seeing that there were more and more military vehicles and soldiers on the street, and it seemed that there were people running towards the bun shop, Tong Jia decided to stop shopping and go back immediately.

Just as she was about to ask Diao Ren and Xiao Ting to go back together, she saw Xiao Fang standing not far away maintaining order.

Xiao Fang was standing right in front of the door of a jewelry store.

Tong Jia pretended to walk to the door and found Xiao Fang here. She was about to greet Xiao Fang with a smile, but she saw Xiao Fang's hand on the hem of his clothes, waving at her quietly.

Tong Jia knew that it was not a good time to go to Xiao Fang to ask for information, so she did not stay at Xiao Fang's place and directly took Diao Ren and Xiao Ting into the jewelry store.

She was planning to buy a silver hairpin to fulfill her purpose of going to the jewelry store, but when she was taking out the money, Diao Ren took money out of his own pocket.

He said, "Madam, you bought the fabric and Xiaoting made the clothes. As for the hairpin, I'll pay for it.

I am a bit stupid and really don't know what my godmother likes.

You and Xiaoting both have gifts, so I can't be the only one running errands."

Tong Jia didn't refuse and let Diao Ren pay the bill.

While waiting, she stood on the upstairs and looked down, and happened to see a jeep driving towards the city gate.

The car window was half open, and looking down from upstairs, I just happened to see Pan Meiying sitting in the back seat with a sullen face.

Behind the jeep were two trucks.

As the vehicles passed by, the wind blew up the curtains at the back of the trucks. Tong Jia saw that there were three women's bodies behind the first truck, and many bodies stacked together behind the second truck.

Combined with what the cloth shop owner said just now, those soldiers went to his store to check the inventory, mainly checking the finished cotton clothes. Tong Jia knew that it must be Pan Meiying who discovered that everything in the Zhang family's house was missing. When looking for things and people, she found Song Yuanyuan, Lan'er, Zhu'er, and the bodies of other members of the Zhang family outside the city.

It must have been discovered today that so many bodies were found, and they were all Pan Meiying's men. The ordinary police station would definitely not be able to solve the case, so they directly mobilized the military.

In order to avoid another martial law, after leaving the jewelry store, Tong Jia took Diao Ren and Xiao Ting to the barbecue restaurant to buy some cooked meat, and then returned to the bun shop.

When they came back, the door of the bun shop was still closed.

Although he knew that the meeting inside had not yet ended, he saw that the soldiers who were searching house by house would soon reach the bun shop. If he kept the door closed, it would easily arouse suspicion.

Therefore, Tong Jia and the others returned at the perfect time.

She knocked on the door three times to give the people in the meeting time to prepare, and then pushed the door open and went in.

By that time, everyone had returned to their respective positions.

Yang Jixia came over and asked, "Didn't you go shopping? Why are you back so soon? Did you only buy a few things?"

Tong Jia gestured for Diao Ren to take the cooked food they bought to the kitchen while saying, "It's too chaotic outside. The streets are full of soldiers and there are so many trucks.

I saw Xiao Fang on the street and wanted to say hello to him, but he didn't dare to respond. It must be that a leader from above came to inspect.

When I went to the cloth shop to buy cloth, the shopkeeper said that the soldiers had checked all the inventory in their store, even the cellar where they stored vegetables. He didn't say what they were checking, but they went in with cold faces and left with sour faces.

When I came back just now, I saw that our bun shop was closed. I thought you were afraid someone would come to check, so you closed it on purpose.

"Ah? Oh, no, those soldiers want to check, so even if we close the door, we have to open it for them.

The reason for closing the shop is that the boss across the street...his brothers are all talented people. I don't know who came up with the idea, but they insisted on taking the money for the renovation and doing it themselves instead of asking me to find good people to do it.

I can’t guess what it will look like in the end, but when it’s being renovated, it’s going to be dusty all over the place!”

This also gave them a suitable reason to close the shop in broad daylight.

Tong Jia saw that Guo Xin and Yang Jixia did not react excessively after hearing what he said about the possibility of people outside coming to check here, so he knew that they had already made all the preparations.

She sat on the chair, rubbed her feet, and said, "Hey, Lao Guo, let Xiao Xie and Wang Tong go to the street to buy some more vegetables.

I was worried that something big had happened. What if martial law was imposed again? Vegetable vendors outside the city couldn't come in, and people inside the city couldn't leave. There would definitely be a lot of people stranded at the train station.

We don’t care whether the hotel can operate or not, but we must ensure that there are enough buns in our bun shop.”

Guo Xin nodded and said, "That's right, we should prepare in advance, buy more meat, and make it into bacon, salted pork, and jar meat directly when we get home.

This will keep longer than vegetables, and as for vegetables…"

"You don't need to buy too much vegetables. Just enough for three days is enough. Any more and they will go bad easily. We have stored a lot of dried and pickled vegetables, which is enough for us to eat." Mother Tian came to the front hall at some point.

Following behind him were Xiao Xie, Wang Tong and Liu Qiang.

Guo Xin said, "Then let's do as Auntie Tian says. Xiao Xie and Wang Tong, you two go."

Tong Jia looked around but couldn't find Tao Junle, so she asked, "Where's Lele? Why didn't I see him come out?"

Yang Jixia said, "Oh, this kid is very hardworking. He's practicing calligraphy in his room. Don't bother him. I see how motivated he is. He won't stop until he fills up a notebook."

Tong Jia said, "How can that be? Learning has to be gradual. No one can achieve everything in one go! I have to go and see him. He should rest when he needs to..."

As she said that, she walked towards Tao Junle's room. In fact, she just wanted to go in and check whether those things were placed secretly.

She was already prepared and stayed in the house with Tao Junle. If the soldiers outside really wanted to search room by room, she would just put all the things that could not be seen by others into the RV.

But she didn't have this chance, because after the inspectors had checked most of the rooms in the front hall, second floor and backyard, and were about to check Tao Junle's room, a scream that was almost inaudible came from the opposite side.

When the inspector discovered that the owner of the room was a child, he decisively gave up the inspection and ran directly across the street.

After the inspectors left, Guo Xin and Yang Jixia in the bun shop finally felt relieved.

But before Yang Jixia could feel relieved for long, his heart began to tighten again.
