Deserted Wife's Extraordinary Life

3Especially since Shi Tao had been living in a high position for the past few years, it was rare for him to have free time. He lived in a vast courtyard in the mountains, with small bridges and flowing water.    

    

Shi Tao was a little dissolute. Luckily, his vacation was still long, so he settled down with Cui Huixian at ease.    

    

Knowing that Shi Tao had returned, his old colleagues and friends all wanted to come visit him.    

    

During the wedding banquet that day, Shi Tao had already told them the address. Seeing that Shi Tao still remembered them, his old friends all wanted to meet him.    

    

On this day, the security captain Liu Jun saw the village's cement road heading towards the courtyard. A few 28 year old bicycles came slowly, their paint was mottled, and the tires were clanging. They were the kind of old bicycles that, except for the bells, rang everywhere.    

    

Seeing that the bicycles stopped in front of the courtyard, Liu Jun went up and enthusiastically asked the elder at the front, saying:    

    

"May I ask who are you looking for?"    

    

"Oh? I came to find Shi Tao, I was his former colleague. When he was a knowledgeable youth, we taught at a school. I'm a few years older than him, and also a friend who talks about everything. That person took the initiative to introduce himself.    

    

Hearing that, Liu Jun did not dare to delay any further and said: "Please wait for a moment, I will go and report to the head."    

    

Of course, Wen Duo knew that Shi Tao was now in a high position. He was still a bit nervous when he came to pay him a visit, so he brought a bunch of his former colleagues with him.    

    

Now that he heard Liu Jun call them "leader", he felt that it was right to call more people to bolster his courage.    

    

When Shi Tao heard that Wen Duoduo had come, he was overjoyed. He quickly came out of the courtyard and said enthusiastically the moment he saw so many former colleagues.    

    

"Dear friends, it's been a long time since we last met. Teacher Wen, you've finally come."    

    

"Teacher Shi, after so many years, you still have the same personality as before. You haven't changed!"    

    

After hearing Liu Jun's words, Shi Tao immediately relaxed as he was still affectionate with him and did not put on any airs. Liu Jun's attitude just now had made him nervous.    

    

He could tell how important Shi Tao's position was right now, since he had such a strong security force when he returned to his hometown.    

    

However, Vick didn't expect Shi Jiangyuan to hire the security forces. Shi Tao had always been very light, so returning home wouldn't bring security forces.    

    

Of course, according to his rank, the local government should provide him with security. Because he had Liu Jun and the others, Shi Tao refused to help to save money for the local government.    

    

Wen Duo and company followed Shi Tao into the yard. Wen Duo couldn't tell what the building materials of the yard were, but he felt that the yard was noble and low-key. As he walked, there was also a faint aroma of wood, which gave him an indescribable feeling of satisfaction.    

    

"Teacher Xu, this is your home. I didn't expect you to build a house here. Are you going to retire and come back to retire?"    

    

Wen Duo still used the familiar name of Shi Taocheng.    

    

Shi Tao smiled and said, "No, this was built by my son and Daughter-In-Law. But if we were to go home and retire, we would have such thoughts. This is a beautiful place with beautiful scenery.    

    

Other than the fact that they had a good relationship with Shi Tao in the past, the few old comrades were a bit restrained when they first saw Shi Tao. Although he used to be a colleague, he was now an official with a very different status.    

    

Unexpectedly, Shi Tao was very easy-going. While talking to him, these colleagues seemed to have returned to the days when they were teaching together in school, and gradually relaxed.    

    

At this time, Cui Huixian also came out from the inner courtyard. When she saw Wen Duo and the others, she greeted them happily,    

    

"Teacher Wen, everyone is here! "Great, the old me is still talking about you all these days!"    

    

Wen Duo had once met Cui Huixian in the Lu County's county city. Because she came back once or twice a year, he felt closer to her than Shi Tao when he saw her.    

    

Seeing that Cui Huixian was still as passionate as ever, the others were less tense. They drank tea with Shi Tao and talked about the past.    

    

Kang Ying knew that a guest had arrived, so she quickly instructed Wu Jiayang to make some pastries and make tea for the guest.    

    

Wu Jiayang was a very particular fat man, he was very attentive in cooking, and the moment he heard about making a tea set, he immediately felt that it was a good opportunity for him to show off his skills in front of the crowd. Thus, he began to cook the semi-finished products that were originally prepared, roasting them, steamed them, and then sent them to the living room in about half an hour.    

    

When drinking tea on an empty stomach, it was easy to get drunk if you drank too much. You had to have some sort of dessert to ensure that there was no problem. Since these teachers were old, they naturally had to be more careful.    

    

Shi Tao warmly invited them to have some snacks, and the teachers did not hold back as they praised the snacks well done. Wu Jiayang was proud to be a chef.    

    

Of course, he wanted them to stay for lunch. Wu Jiayang tried his best to cook nine dishes. Considering that some of the teachers were older, they basically cooked lightly and not greasy, which won the praise of the teachers.    

    

Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan did not eat at the same table with them because they knew it was a gathering of old friends. If they were to join together, it would probably ruin the atmosphere.    

    

After the meal, a teacher saw Kang Ying making tea for them and suddenly asked Shi Tao,    

    

"Your Daughter-In-Law looks familiar. Is she working in some department in the county?" I feel like I've seen her somewhere. "    

    

Kang Ying laughed, "I work in Friendship Mall, so perhaps you have seen me before when you were shopping in the market?"    

    

"You are the employee of Friendship Mall?" The teacher expressed his disbelief.    

    

Although the salary of a Friendship Mall salesperson was very high, as long as the salesgirl was single, she would be a popular target for the young boys to interact with. It wouldn't be a problem for the male salesmen to find a wife, but he felt that with Shi Family, it was impossible for them to marry a salesgirl, right?    

    

Although it was not a bad job to be a salesperson, there was still a gap between him and a rich and influential family like Shi Family. He could not believe it.    

    

Kang Ying laughed, "I'm not a salesperson. I'm the one who arranged the Friendship Mall."    

    

As Kang Ying said this, the man slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, I remember now. I know where I've seen you before. Even when Friendship Mall is opening, when I heard that there is a discount, I went to join in the liveliness. At that time, you even spoke on stage, no wonder I thought you looked familiar.    

    

At that time, I thought to myself, 'This young lady has already set up such a large shopping mall at such a young age, she's too capable!'    

    

I didn't expect you to be the old Daughter-In-Law, the founder of the mall! "    

    

Even though she was the founder of Friendship Mall, most people viewed her as someone who possessed a very different status compared to her sect, the Shi Family.
