Chapter 19 019

At nine o'clock in the evening, grandma went to bed after watching two episodes of the series.

Jiang Tao turned off the light in the living room and went back to the bedroom.

Young people like to stay up late, and Jiang Tao who goes to bed around eleven o'clock every night is considered early.

Taking a professional book from the bookshelf, Jiang Tao leaned on the small lazy sofa to review the materials, and looked at the wall clock on the wall after turning a few pages.

Seeing ten o'clock, Jiang Tao was a little sleepy. There was a comfortable bed next to her. She couldn't help the temptation and planned to sleep for a while.

In the end, I really felt refreshed when I lay down, so I just hugged my laptop and leaned against the bedside to watch the drama.

Cao An: I got off the bus.

Jiang Tao glanced at the time and asked: Is there anyone answering?Or take a taxi?

Cao An: The old man arranged for a driver.What are you doing

Jiang Tao: Watch TV.

Cao An: In other words, you are not sleepy yet.

Jiang Tao: Does it matter?

Cao An: I'll be gone tonight if I'm sleepy, and I'll send the special products over tomorrow.

Jiang Tao was hesitating whether to change his words, Cao An sent another message: I will go home and change clothes, and I should be there at eleven o'clock.

Jiang Tao was stunned!

He has been on the train for five hours, and it is enough "sincerity" to come to deliver special products in the middle of the night, but he still wants to go home and change clothes?

Is it too particular?

Jiang Tao recalled it for a while, and suddenly found that Cao An was quite clean every time she met, and had nothing to do with the image of an engineer who went to the construction site every day in her imagination.

She continued to watch the drama, and the curtains on the balcony had already opened a gap of about five centimeters.

The community was quite quiet at this time, and there were basically no vehicles passing by outside. At around ten fifty, bright car lights suddenly lit up outside the window, and Jiang Tao couldn't help but stare at the gap in the curtain.

As soon as the black off-road vehicle came to a stop next to the window of his house, the lights were turned off immediately.

Jiang Tao used the fastest speed to close the curtains before Cao An found the gap on her side.

Still in shock, Cao An sent a message: I'm here, is grandma asleep?

Jiang Tao: I'm asleep, wait a moment.

Putting away the phone, Jiang Tao straightened her hair casually when she passed the full-length mirror, her face was clean, and she did not put on makeup for tonight's meeting.

She passed by the door of grandma's room quietly, only turned on the light on the entrance side, changed her shoes, and then gently opened the door, keeping a gap open and trying not to make unnecessary noises.

The temperature in the middle of the night was only two or three degrees. Jiang Tao wrapped her coat tightly and opened the unit door little by little.

Cao An stood diagonally opposite the door, holding two flat gift bags in his left hand, and a cuboid gift box in his right hand, which was so dark that the packaging could not be seen clearly.

"What specialty? So many."

Jiang Tao walked over, thanking for the height difference, she was more relaxed as she didn't have to look directly at Cao An's face, but felt a little awkward about these gifts.

The relationship has not yet been decided, and she doesn't want Cao An to spend money all the time.

Cao An introduced respectively: "Here is a silk scarf and a box of snacks, and here is an outdoor speaker for grandma to dance in the square."

Jiang Tao: "Didn't you say you only buy specialty products?"

Cao An: "This is more practical, and you know about our province's special products."

Jiang Tao understands that the special products of this province are some products that don't seem to be special when they go out. Either they are also available in other places, or they are not special enough and the price is ordinary.

"How much is the stereo?" Jiang Tao felt that Cao An would not give too cheap things.

Cao An: "I have a predestined relationship with my grandma. This is because I respect her elderly. You don't have to have any burdens, and it's not expensive. The functions are too complicated for grandma to learn."

When he said that, Jiang Tao couldn't refuse anymore: "Okay, don't buy so much in the future."

Cao An: "Okay."

Suddenly it seemed that there was nothing else to say, Jiang Tao subconsciously looked at his car.

Cao An had to lower his head to see the little nurse's face clearly. She was small and wore a thick loose coat. Because of the cold, the zipper was pulled all the way to the top, covering a little bit of the chin, making her face appear smaller, fair and round, reallyMuch like a student who has just entered college.

"You drove here by yourself?"

In this increasingly embarrassing silence, Jiang Tao found a word.

Cao An: "Well, the driver sent me back to the community, and I let him go first."

Jiang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, so that the old man of the Cao family would not know that his grandson ran to give special products to his blind date again in the middle of the night.

"Retire tomorrow?" Cao An asked her.

Jiang Tao's eyes flickered slightly: "Yeah, it's rare that we all rest on weekends this time, and we made an appointment with friends to go shopping."

For more than half a month, she had to meet with Cao An almost every day, and even videotaped when they didn't meet. Jiang Tao felt a little too tight, and she needed to relax.

"And you?"

Her nervousness was written on her face, as if she was worried that he would get angry because of this answer. Cao An smiled and said, "I'll go to the construction site, and then accompany the old man to go fishing. One day will pass."

Jiang Tao: "It seems to be quite busy, then you should go back quickly and rest early."

Cao An: "You go to bed early, too."

After speaking, he came over and handed her three gifts.

When Jiang Tao received the gift, he smelled the shampoo on his body, which was clean and refreshing.

Thinking that he even washed his hair and even took a shower specially for this meeting, but he would go back within a few minutes after seeing each other, Jiang Tao felt a little soft again.

"By the way, have you had dinner yet?"

Suddenly, she remembered his dinner problem. According to the time he revealed before, he should have gone to the train station immediately after the meeting in the afternoon. He might have eaten on the train, but Jiang Tao really couldn't eat the food on the train.compliment.

Cao An looked at the little nurse who was already full of gifts, and told the truth: "I ordered lunch in the car, but I was not full."

Jiang Tao already knew how much he eats, he eats a lot, and he likes to eat meat.

"There is a barbecue restaurant outside our community, and it should still be open."

Cao An: "Go together?"

Jiang Tao: "...I'll send the things in first."

She turned around, with an expression of annoyance immediately on her face, but she could only quickly put the gift in the hall and close the door gently.

Putting his hands in his pockets, Jiang Tao walked back to Cao An with his eyes downcast.

Cao An: "Go over there? I'll take you back after eating."

Jiang Tao nodded.

A few minutes later, the two stood outside the grill shop. The shop was not big, and there was a table of guests, men and women, who ordered a lot of beer.

Cao An went in first.

The guests at that table looked over, and a bald man who was still blushing to persuade him to drink just now suddenly became dumb, and lowered his head as if avoiding it.

The middle-aged male boss is also guilty of fear. He has seen small hooligans and gangsters. This is obviously not a level.

At this time, Jiang Tao also came in. She had a very good appearance, but Cao An complemented her like a little white flower kidnapped by the black boss.

"This way?"

Cao An asked, pointing to a table for four next to the window.

Jiang Tao nodded.

Cao An glanced under the table.

The shops next to this kind of old community have also been around for some years, with a variety of customers and different qualities. Some people will throw tissues in the trash can, and some people will throw them directly on the ground. The shop owner and waiters don’t pay much attention to this aspect..

But after Cao An's glance, the boss immediately called a waiter. The waiter had just cleaned the floor, and the boss also came over. First, he wiped the tabletop with a rag, and then spread a disposable plastic tablecloth.This is not over yet, the boss even washed all the tableware on this table with smoking boiling water, and provided the best service that the shop can provide as much as possible.

"Here is the menu, what would you like to eat?" The boss was very attentive.

Jiang Tao glanced at Cao An, and then at the shop owner. Although Cao An had a strong aura, the owner was obviously older.

Cao An didn't mind the title problem, ordered three kinds of meat, and then handed the menu to Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao was not hungry, so he ordered two vegetarian dishes, but he couldn't just watch Cao An eat.

Boss: "Brother, would you like some wine? We have both white and white beers."

Cao An: "Orange juice will do."

The boss finally left.

The diners at the table not far away were still secretly looking over here.

Jiang Tao tried her best to ignore those gazes, and whispered to Cao An, "Almost all the stores here have this kind of environment. I don't know if you are used to it."

Cao An: "The canteen on the construction site is not as good as here, and I often eat there."

Jiang Tao looked at his clothes: "Your clothes seem to be clean all the time."

Cao An: "I carry a set of changing clothes with me in the car, and I take a shower every time I leave the construction site."

Jiang Tao: "Then you are quite particular."

Cao An: "The main reason is that I don't want to get dirt in the car."

Jiang Tao understood, men seem to have a different feeling for their own cars, and Cao An also said that he often washes the car by himself, which shows that this feeling is even deeper.

As the barbecues came up one after another, Cao An took off his coat, and inside was a black sweater with broad shoulders and strong arms.

Jiang Tao didn't look too much, and slowly ate her vegetarian dishes.

Cao An poured her a glass of orange juice.

Jiang Tao wanted to touch the phone, but his pocket was empty, and then he remembered that he forgot to take it when he went out.

Cao An: "Do you want to send a message to grandma? You may be anxious when you wake up and find that you are not here."

Jiang Tao smiled: "Don't worry about this, grandma sleeps very well, and can sleep until five o'clock in the morning."

Cao An: "It is said that such old people live a long life."

Jiang Tao likes to hear this.

For supper, Cao An didn't order much, and he finished eating within ten minutes after all the dishes were served.

Coming out of the warm barbecue restaurant, it seemed that it was getting colder outside. Jiang Tao shrank her neck, and then looked at Cao An who was dressed less than her: "Aren't you cold?"

Cao An: "It's not cold, I can even lend you my coat."

Jiang Tao immediately took a few steps away: "No, no, I'm just asking."

Cao An looked at her back that was about to shrink into a ball, and smiled.

He kept sending Jiang Tao to the door of the unit in the fifth building.

Jiang Tao opened the door and came in, stood inside and waved to him, urging: "Go back quickly."

Cao An gave her one last look and walked away.

Jiang Tao closed the door and went home. Through the window on the kitchen side, she saw that it was still dark outside, and knew that Cao An hadn't gotten into the car yet.

Jiang Tao didn't deal with the gift he brought for the time being, turned off the porch light, and went back to the bedroom in the dark.

She sat on the bed, waited for a while, and finally heard the sound of a car starting outside. It was not until the car drove away that Jiang Tao let out a long sigh of relief.

The next day, as soon as Jiang Tao came out of the bedroom, she was blocked by her grandmother: "Did Xiao Cao come last night? What time did you come?"

Jiang Tao looked as usual: "It's almost eleven o'clock, I have to give you a gift."

Grandma: "Then why didn't you tell me? I can thank you face to face."

Jiang Tao: "Your sleep is more important than a few polite words."

The point is, Cao An didn't come here for grandma at all, and Jiang Tao didn't want grandma to stay up all night for his routine.

Grandma has eaten more salt than her for decades, and she understands what's going on, squinting at her granddaughter and smiling: "You just wait when he comes, why are you so obedient?"

Jiang Tao: ...

Grandma smiled more ambiguously.

No matter how many routines men have, women must be willing to accept them, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.
