MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 33
Tao Xiaodong has never used such force on others, this time he really cares about it. He is a very troublesome person, especially emotionally. So there hasn't been any heart-to-heart relationship for so many years, let alone in the past few years, as he said, I feel that there is a generation gap with young people in their twenties.
Tang Suoyan is two years older than him, and he is excellent in all aspects. To Tao Xiaodong, they are not even people from the same world. Now there is an opportunity to be aboveboard, he must seize it, if he misses it, he will not be Tao Xiaodong.
In Tian Yi's words, he has a lot of heart but is more sincere and likable than anyone else.
Tang Suoyan still had something to do in the afternoon, Tao Xiaodong didn't put plaster on him, it smelled like traditional Chinese medicine. He only held Tang Suoyan's hand and gave it to Wu for a long time. When it was hot, he rubbed it, and pressed it moderately on the acupuncture points, which made Tang Suoyan's whole hand hot, even the scar.
Tang Suoyan had to go back. Tao Xiaodong pressed a few times for the last time, scratched the scar unconsciously with his thumb, then let go and said, "Then I'll be back. Call me when you're done. Time doesn't matter."
"I'll call you when I'm not busy." Tang Suoyan put down his sleeves, buttoned the cuffs slowly, and said to him, "Go back and drive slowly, the road conditions are bad."
"Okay." Tao Xiaodong nodded at him and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work, Dr. Tang."
All doctors work hard to help other people live longer and more securely in this world. Tao Xiaodong always respects doctors, which is an extraordinary profession.
Tang Suoyan said: "There is nothing hard about my job."
He shook his right hand, rubbed his right wrist with his left hand, and said to Tao Xiaodong with a smile, "It's comfortable."
"It's as long as it's comfortable," he said, and Tao Xiaodong was very happy to hear it. "Next time, I'll rub it for you a little longer."
Tang Suoyan wanted to say something, but looking at the time, it was indeed time to go up. So he sighed: "I still want to chat with you for a while, but it's too late."
"Let's go." Tao Xiaodong started to push people away again, he did this every time he called recently, and Tang Suoyan hung up quickly after he said a few words, he waved to Tang Suoyan, "I want to chat with you anytime after you are done. "
The relationship between the two of them developed too fast, and they hardly saw each other for two or three months after returning from the last event, and they didn't have much contact. But after Tao Xiaodong went to the hospital to deliver food for a few days, somehow it suddenly became like this.
It seems that I just stopped and walked for a walk before, but suddenly I got on the high-speed rail.
Tao Huainan was still at home worrying about what he shouldn't be worrying about. After dinner, he asked Tao Xiaodong: "Brother, what stage are you and Dr. Tang at? Why don't you make an appointment for dinner?"
"I didn't realize you missed me so much before." Tao Xiaodong stuffed a slice of orange into his mouth.
During this time the house was cold, Chi Cheng made Tao Huainan wear thick woolen socks every day, and Tao Huainan took them off secretly. After washing the dishes, Chi Cheng came over with a bowl of fruit yoghurt. Seeing his bare feet, he put the bowl in his hand and went to the room to find socks.
I searched for it but couldn't find it, so I came out and asked him, "Where are the socks?"
"I don't remember." Tao Huainan ate fruit mixed with yogurt, crossed his legs and pressed his feet under his legs, and said, "It's not cold."
Chi Cheng came over and pushed him away, found socks under the pillow next to him, and put them on for him. Tao Huainan put his feet on the man's lap and put on socks for him honestly.
Tao Xiaodong looked at the two of them, and was used to seeing them like this every day. But recently, I feel a little bit like having **** in my heart, and now I feel something is wrong when I look at the two of them.
But I don't plan to ask too much, as the elder brother can't get involved, if I can't control it, just don't ask.
Moreover, Tao Xiaodong also had selfish intentions. Apart from his elder brother, Tao Huainan was only closest to Chi Cheng in this world.
"Ask you, brother." Tao Huainan touched his brother's arm with his socked foot, "Why don't you have dinner with Dr. Tang?"
"Doctor Tang is busy." Tao Xiaodong took his foot away and patted his calf. Tao Huainan's fluffy pajamas felt warm in his hand.
Tao Huainan said "Oh oh", and stood up to leave after speaking.
Chi Cheng looked up at him: "Sleepy?"
Tao Huainan said, "No, I'm going to the bathroom."
He went to the bathroom, Tao Xiaodong said to Chicheng: "Don't be too tired from studying, I saw that you were still up at twelve o'clock yesterday."
"It's okay bro." Chi Cheng said.
"Don't be pressured, I don't ask you to do that." Tao Xiaodong said.
"I know." Chi Cheng nodded, "I know."
Chi Cheng has good grades and has been smart since he was a child. Tao Huainan is also smart, but because of his eyes, his grades are mediocre. Tao Xiaodong didn't let him go to a special education school. The ordinary school he had been studying for so many years was more difficult. Tao Xiaodong didn't want to put him in a special environment, he hoped that Tao Huainan could live among ordinary people.
Going to school for blind children is a very troublesome thing, and it requires a lot of effort from the family, not only in terms of cost, but also a lot of extra energy. Tao Huainan had Chi Cheng, following him all the way since childhood, Tao Xiaodong also saved a lot of worry.
Other families are not so lucky. Due to various considerations, they can only send their children to schools for the blind, where they receive blind education from an early age, and then live and work according to the unique directions of the blind.
Recently, Tao Xiaodong paid another sum of money, and several primary and junior high schools cooperated with schools for the blind to set up special education classes in ordinary schools, so that those visually impaired children can receive ordinary education as much as possible. It is actually not easy for blind children to enter ordinary schools. They need equipment support. Books, test papers and teaching aids must be in Braille, and additional infrastructure must be laid out. Tao Xiaodong spends a lot of money on this every year.
If Rhubarb found out, he would take the bill from the store every time, so Tao Xiaodong often kept his back and didn't let him know.
Rhubarb also asked him, what are you trying to do if you throw money like this without even a splash.
Tao Xiaodong said that I don't know what to plot, and that plotting me is easier than them.
His father gradually became blind in middle age, and his younger brother was blind since he was a child, so Tao Xiaodong knows better than others that it is not easy for a blind person to live.
It's not easy for people to live, but there are always people who work harder than you.
Tao Xiaodong's life is considered easy among ordinary people. With a pair of fairy hands, he can earn seven figures by working hard to catch ten days. To most people, the work he does, and the money he takes, sounds like money grabbing.
Even so, there are still people queuing up to deliver it to him all the year round.
During this time, Tang Suoyan was busy, and Tao Xiaodong had nothing to do, so he worked hard in the store every day. Rhubarb couldn't stand it anymore, so he was given a holiday and stopped working.
The tattoo artist next to him said, "Then I also want to take a vacation."
The other one also said, "I want to let it go too."
"In front of customers, it's as if I won't give you a holiday. The ancestors come and go whenever they want." Tao Xiaodong doesn't care about things, and rhubarb manages everything in the store.
Tao Xiaodong didn't interrupt, just said: "I'll stop working for two more days, and I won't come this weekend."
"I'm going, I'm going." Di Ye was far away and had to answer, "I'm going."
Others couldn't understand what he said, but Tao Xiaodong understood. The poor boy listened to him on the phone and learned for several days. Tao Xiaodong was not angry either, and let them go.
Friday is Tao Xiaodong's last day to go to work, and then he has to give himself a holiday. I deliberately picked a small picture, afraid that I would not be able to finish it in one day. With a skeleton on his arm, Tao Xiaodong can finish this kind of small work in an hour.
The client is an old friend of his, and Tao Xiaodong has done more than a dozen tattoos on his body. Said he wanted a cute little skull, and asked Tao Xiaodong: "Is it difficult? I'll just say that, it's up to you."
Tao Xiaodong said it was not difficult. There is really nothing difficult. In this line of work, Tao Xiaodong no longer feels that anything is difficult.
A small round skull, Tao Xiaodong added a small black flower to the forehead after it was finished. The big brother was so rare, he was happy to see his arms straight.
The door opened and someone walked in. There are all kinds of customers in the store all year round, and there are all kinds of people. But this one still feels different at first glance, with extraordinary temperament.
The handsome guy at the reception went up to say hello. Huan Ge happened to be on the first floor. When he saw him, he asked, "Is Xiaodong there?"
The handsome guy in the store asked politely, "Brother Dong is here, did you make an appointment?"
Tang Suoyan shook his head and said he hadn't made an appointment.
This one definitely didn't come here to get a tattoo. Huan Ge's brain turned the fastest, and he went over with a smile and said, "Brother Dong is upstairs, I'll take you there."
Tang Suoyan said "thank you".
These small workers in the store are quick to react. He didn't make a sound when he went upstairs, Tao Xiaodong was chatting with the client there, and he led the client there, quietly.
"You're fine anyway, and you haven't arranged anything else today, so get me another one," said the elder brother.
Tao Xiaodong looked at the time, it was just past four o'clock, he had nothing else to do anyway, so it would be okay to do one by the way.
"It's not too big, it will definitely be done in two hours in your hands."
Tao Xiaodong rested on the stool with his shoulders slumped, shook his neck, and said, "What should I do?"
"I'll give you double wages, hurry up." The customer said with a smile.
Tao Xiaodong was quite crazy: "You are so small and double the picture is not much."
"Hurry up, don't be silly." The customer stood up and was about to take off his pants. There was not much clean space on his body, and there was only a space at the bottom of his thigh.
"Then you pay the money first, double." Tao Xiaodong said.
The eldest brother smiled and said "fuck", and asked jokingly, "You run a black shop?"
"You said it yourself." Tao Xiaodong smiled shamelessly.
Tang Suoyan didn't make a sound. Some other tattoo artists had seen him, but there were no talkers here. Walking behind Tao Xiaodong, the eldest brother just took off his pants and looked up, and raised his chin at Tao Xiaodong: "Looking for you?"
Tao Xiaodong turned around and said, "Who..."
The voice didn't fall, and when I saw it, I was so surprised that I stood up from the chair in an instant, and the phone fell from my lap: "Brother Yan?"
Tang Suoyan smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I left a little earlier."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Tao Xiaodong became very happy after being surprised, the joy in his heart was written on his face, "You should give me a call."
"It's okay anyway, I'll come directly." Tang Suoyan said, "You're busy, I'll wait for you."
"I'm not busy." Tao Xiaodong turned around and said to the elder brother, "Today is off the table, so come back another day."
"You are busy with your work." Tang Suo said.
The client didn't do it either: "Hey, who are you? It was agreed just now, and I will transfer all the money to you. Come here quickly."
Tao Xiaodong turned his head and said to Huan Ge, "Give me back."
"Don't refund me! Are you going to regret it after collecting the money?" The eldest brother came over and pulled him, pulling him by the arm, pointing to his leg, "Hurry up, say you don't regret it, kid? "
A room full of tattoo artists watched in silence, all smiling under their masks. Di also said from a distance: "I'm going."
Tao Xiaodong was held by his arms and refused to let him go. He glanced at Tang Suoyan and lost his temper. Turning his head to look at Huan Ge, he was not very happy: "Someone is looking for me, so please tell me."
Huan Ge was busy leading Tang Suoyan over, but didn't pay attention to their mouths, not knowing what they were talking about. Seeing it now, he shrugged his shoulders.
Tang Suoyan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you."
Tao Xiaodong said: "Then why don't you go to the sofa and rest for a while? I'll ask them to show you a movie, and you can drink a pot of tea. I'll hurry here."
"Don't worry." Tang Suoyan told him, "Take your time."
Tao Xiaodong led him to the rest area. There was no one around him. Tao Xiaodong whispered, "I didn't expect you to come, otherwise I wouldn't agree, and I can leave now."
Tao Xiaodong turned on the projector, lowered the curtain, and asked while looking for the remote control: "What do you like to watch?"
Tang Suo can do whatever he says.
Tao Xiaodong said: "If you are sleepy, you can sleep for a while."
"I'm not sleepy, you don't have to worry about me, go ahead." Tang Suoyan sat on the sofa, and Tao Xiaodong looked for the remote control around him, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
Tao Xiaodong found the remote control, put it in Tang Suoyan's hand, and the two touched their fingers.
Tao Xiaodong shook his hand naturally, and said, "Why is it always so cold?"
Tang Suo said "hmm" and said, "It's cold today."
After Tao Xiaodong finished the last job, he took off his gloves and didn't wash his hands. He touched it and let it go quickly, and said to him, "Then I'm going."
Tang Suoyan nodded: "Go."
