Chapter 853 A Friend Came From Afar

After speaking, Shi Qianxue felt pressured immediately. He immediately dropped the computer and slipped back to his room without making a sound.

It's all effortless.

It was only then that Wu Tao had the opportunity to take over the computer and began to live an addiction to the Internet.

Sure enough, the news about Apocalypse investing 200 million yuan in Alibaba on the Xiaonei Internet has been overwhelming, and it has aroused great heated discussions.

After all, this is the first major investment of domestic capital in the emerging Internet industry.

In addition, the hustle and bustle of NetEase’s listing on Nasdaq not long ago has not faded away. For a while, countless netizens are full of associations and speculations about Alibaba’s prospects.

Of course, many people also expressed dissent. But the reason is not new. It is nothing more than talking about the Internet bubble in the United States.

It is normal for this matter to be controversial. Wu Tao can't control what others say.

Seeing this, Wu Tao was about to turn off the computer and go downstairs for a stroll, when Qin Xiaoxiao called.

"Oh, Xiaoxiao, you've worked hard these few days." Wu Tao said comforting words as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qin Xiaoxiao's heart warmed when she heard it. In fact, she had been waiting for Wu Tao's call, but she hadn't received it until now. Feeling uneasy, she finally couldn't help but take the initiative to call.

"Boss, I mainly want to ask, what do you think about this matter?"

After all, this is Qin Xiaoxiao's first independent decision to invest in the Internet industry, and it's normal to feel uneasy afterwards.

"Very good, well done." Wu Tao's affirmation was also straightforward, "Okay, clean up your mood, have a good New Year, and stop thinking about it."

After receiving Qin Xiaoxiao's call, Wu Tao put on his coat and went downstairs.

In the restaurant on the first floor, the round table was dropped, revealing the Eight Immortals table below. The old man was standing in front of the Eight Immortals table, stroking his beard with one hand, and holding a wolf hair brush with the other, writing couplets with splashes of ink.

This year's small building has just been completed, and there are so many rooms. In addition to the needs of the villagers and neighbors who like to come here to ask for couplets in previous years, the workload of this year's Spring Festival couplets is extraordinarily heavy.

The old man was so busy that he even took off his sheepskin vest. Even so, his forehead was still dripping with sweat.

Seeing Wu Tao's appearance, the old man waved his hands as if he was about to receive an amnesty: "Xiao Tao, come here, and you will write the rest."

Wu Tao took a look at at least a dozen couplets written on the ground, and there was only a small half of the red paper cut by Wu Binghua.

The remaining workload is not small.

Wu Tao didn't intend to make a fool of himself, he knew that his calligraphy was not as good as the old man's many years of experience. But seeing that the old man was so tired and out of breath, he couldn't bear it again.

So he took the brush, thought for a while, and wrote a couplet that he made up casually.

The reform and opening up bid farewell to the old year, carry on the past and usher in the new year.

Industry and agriculture have changed the system, and the Internet industry has had a good year...

Since I can't surpass the old man in terms of words, I can only make some small innovations in the content of the couplet.

Anyway, it’s just nonsense, as long as it’s not too bad.

Unexpectedly, when the old man saw it, he gave thumbs up again and again and said: "It's a little new, and the handwriting is not bad, and it's very freehand."

Just as the grandparents and grandchildren were busy working on the couplet, Dahei's barking came from outside, but it stopped soon.

Immediately afterwards, there was a cheer in the dark night, which seemed to be Heidan's voice, and he went straight to the small car outside the courtyard.

Zhang Huilan shouted outside the door, "His Aunt Hua is back!"

Wu Tao immediately put down his brush and went out with Zhang Huilan.

Under the dim light on the porch, Aunt Hua got off the Mercedes-Benz, her radiant and pretty face couldn't hide the exhaustion of the long journey.

The next moment, Heidan jumped into Aunt Hua's arms, "Mom!"

With this call, Aunt Hua's heart softened, and tears fell.

No matter how much you call the wind and rain outside, there is no resistance in the face of the son's mother.

Fortunately, Zhang Huilan persuaded her sincerely, "Aunt Hua, it's a wonderful thing for you two to be reunited. Don't cry. Heidan has always been very good, and his academic performance is good. The teachers in the school all praise him. He is better than my Xiao Jiang." Much stronger."

No matter how naughty Xiao Jiang is usually, he was robbed of the limelight by his brother at this moment, and he didn't refute, but just watched obediently.

Fortunately, Aunt Hua calmed down quickly, took Heidan's hand, and took things from the trunk of the car.

There is another big stall of New Year's goods, many of which are specialties of the capital.

Aunt Hua took it down and stuffed it straight into Zhang Huilan's hand. Not only that, Heidan also helped to carry some and stuffed them into Xiaojiang's arms.

Zhang Huilan repeatedly shied away, but Xiao Jiang accepted them all without hesitation.

"His Aunt Hua, this is not a good thing. You should keep more, and the New Year's greetings will be indispensable."

Aunt Hua persisted, "Sister-in-law, Heidan told me everything. My house was originally just a simple refurbishment. But after all your hard work, it was built into a new building. I haven't had time to thank you... "

Zhang Huilan waved her hands again and again and said, "That's what it should be. I'm thinking that Heidan will also use it when he gets a wife in the future. Why don't we push the reconstruction..."

Seeing the two people pushing back and forth endlessly, Wu Tao immediately interrupted: "It's so cold, let's go inside and talk."

When Aunt Hua came back, everyone in the vineyard was full, and Heidan really showed a smile from the bottom of his heart on his little face.

The next day is February 15th, the Lunar New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Wu Tao was woken up by the mobile phone next to the bed.

Why is there still a phone call at this time? Whispering that he connected the phone and put it to his ear, Wu Tao replied feebly: "Hello?"

Xiao Zixia's voice came from the other end of the phone and said: "Boss, someone has admired your name for a long time and wants to see you! Now I am taking him on the way to Beijiang. In a word, will you see me or not?"

Hearing Xiao Zixia's relaxed and comfortable tone without avoiding suspicion, Wu Tao knew the elegance when he heard the string song, "I will meet the person recommended by Mr. Xiao no matter what. Besides, I am very happy to come to the door in person on New Year's Eve. Appreciate such sincerity. But I still remind you, don’t come empty-handed when you come to the door today!”

"Don't worry, boss." Xiao Zixia replied with a smile: "I will not allow him to make such a low-level mistake."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Tao got up too.

After washing up, the other two rooms on the third floor were still quiet and there was no movement.

After putting on his clothes and going downstairs, Wu Tao realized that the elders were all awake, and all of them had put on new clothes, except for Shi Qianxue and the two children.

Wu Binghua was walking out with a bunch of firecrackers, when he saw his son going downstairs, he stuffed it into the other's hand and said, "Go and set it off."

According to the custom of Beijiang New Year's Eve, from the early morning of New Year's Eve, a firecracker must be lit before every meal before the meal starts.

Wu Tao took the firecrackers and lighter, looked at a room on the third floor that hadn't been lit, and after a while snickered, he went to the middle of the yard, hung the firecrackers on the grape rack, and lit the fuse.

Crackling...

A sudden burst of firecrackers woke up Shi Qianxue who was sleeping. Wrapped in a quilt, listening to the wanton laughter downstairs, Shi Qianxue clenched her fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, "Damn you, you're dead..."
