Chapter 58 smoke cloud.11

It took more than ten days after Mrs. Tao went back before she received a letter from a safe family.With dozens of words like an earthworm, Tao Zutai got nothing except "big and small peace".However, Tao Zutai replied with a long letter in "small script", in which he reiterated that he could not give up his "responsibility" - to protect his dear ones to the end, "so as not to be in danger", but if there is someone better than him A "candidate" who is more loyal and capable, then he is also willing to "eliminate from this world" and "respect and avoid virtuous ways".This letter took Tao Zutai two evenings.

Mrs. Tao must have received this letter, because it was sent by registered mail. This letter must have had the same effect as Tao Zutai's "speech" to his wife on weekdays: dozing off.From then on, Mrs. Tao didn't even use dozens of words like earthworms. Tao Zutai wrote another letter to his wife's nephew.This is not a "speech" anymore, and it is not long, but it is a "question list". Within a week, my nephew's reply came.It is not long, but the main question raised by Tao Zutai was "shelved and not answered". Tao Zutai wrote another letter, in addition to reiterating his previous request, he also raised a "new question":

"What's Ling Aunt doing for fun these days?" The reply also came within a week.Regarding the main problem in Tao Zutai's first letter, he played with "diplomatic eloquence": "It's hard to explain in one sentence, and I will detail it later." play low cards. After studying his nephew's "diplomatic orders" and "allegedly", Tao Zutai was dissatisfied, so he wrote a third letter, which was actually not long. Unexpectedly, his nephew, his wife, followed the example of "Aunt Ling". : He has also "dozed off" since then.

While Tao Zutai was busy writing letters and "researching", there was a change in the organization he served that was too small to attract attention: Tao Zutai's boss, the section chief, was "promoted", and the newly transferred section chief said, "Everyone After the precepts of serving with peace of mind and mastering hands with seniority", on the fifth day, the "personnel" arrangement will be carried out.Tao Zutai followed the colleagues, and sent members of the "Shou" brand twice during the two public banquets of "farewell" to the former section chief and "welcome" to the new section chief.But now his income is "suspended without pay, waiting for another appointment."

At this time, the lotus has already bloomed and has a small lotus. If his wife hadn't gone back, even though Tao Zutai had stopped his salary, he might as well "wait" for a while.When the husband's purse is dry, the wife's purse will "open" for a while, which has been tried and tested.But now they are isolated too far away, so I should go to my wife while I still have travel expenses on hand, and "wait" quietly at "Yue's house". After discussing with Huang Yinian once, Tao Zutai also went east leisurely.Also a steerage ticket. When the ship arrived in Nanjing, Tao Zutai suddenly had an idea and went ashore.He wanted to find a good friend who had business in Nanjing, and he had many things to discuss: career issues, his wife's recent "inclination", and most importantly, how to "responsible to the end" for himself.

Unfortunately, that friend was "sent by the public".Tao Zutai calculated that if he stayed in a hotel in Nanjing, he would not have enough money, so he had to take the train back to Shanghai first. It was dusk when I arrived at "home".As soon as you enter the door, you can hear the sign ring.The "punishment" at the poker table in Hankou was immediately recalled.Tao Zutai almost wanted to retreat.He went in bravely, and the electric light dazzled his eyes.Someone called his name, and he knew it was his mother-in-law; someone took his hand, and he knew it was his child from the feeling.His heart seemed to be warmer, and his eyes could see clearly; the person sitting opposite his "mother-in-law" was his wife, and the other two were unknown, but they were all female guests.

Tao Zutai was completely relieved, and when his wife asked him "Why are you here", he replied clearly: "I sent you a letter before I left, didn't you receive it?" The wife seemed to be taken aback, but then she said "Oh" and smiled blushingly; suddenly she said urgently, "Six tubes? Touch, touch!" The letter that Tao Zutai sent before leaving arrived in Mrs. Tao's hands yesterday afternoon, but it was a pity that the letter was a bit long, and Mrs. Tao yawned as soon as she got it, and she didn't finish reading it, and then she forgot it.

Tao Zutai thought that the letter had not been delivered, so he said: "There's a new section chief in the bureau... I'm fine... think about it... I'm back... try another way..." Feeling as if only the mother-in-law was listening to him with half an ear, Tao Zutai stopped talking.His mother-in-law and wife have long been used to Tao Zutai’s “occupation” period of at most eight months. Considering my uncle's hard work on the road, the old lady proposed to play eight more laps and the game would be over. Tao Zutai felt that his wife was as quiet as before, taking her time, talking less, sometimes pursing her lips and smiling.But it seems to be a little fatter, especially after taking off the long clothes, especially the abdomen.

Madam's attitude towards Tao Zutai is good.
