Chapter 155: No. 17 Female Lead (End)

　　After she confessed her affairs to the country, it had no impact on her life.

　　The New Year came quickly. The school was closed for half a day on New Year's Eve. Jiang Youtao and her friends did not go to Fu Shaohua's house for dinner. Instead, they went to a Hui Muslim restaurant to eat beef hotpot.

　　When the three of them came back in the evening, they were covered in the aroma of beef.

　　They passed by the alley where Xu Qingqing lived and happened to meet Xu Qingqing taking out the trash.

　　Seeing Jiang Youtao and the other two, she smiled and walked towards them: "Classmate Jiang, Classmate Gu, Happy New Year."

　　Jiang Youtao and the other two stopped and said, "Happy New Year." After a pause, Jiang Youtao asked her, "How are you doing recently?"

　　"It's fine. I've remitted the money back to my parents, and I've also looked for a hospital here. The hospital said that this disease is easy to treat and doesn't cost much. I called my parents and they will come over after the New Year." After getting the family's hard-earned money back from He Xunrao and finding out from a big hospital that her grandfather's disease was not difficult to treat, Xu Qingqing felt completely relaxed.

　　"That's good. The doctors in the hospitals here in the capital are skilled and will definitely be able to cure your grandfather's illness." Jiang Youtao said.

　　Gu Nianwei also said: "If anyone needs help, come to us."

　　Xu Qingqing knew that they were talking about money. Xu Qingqing had made a lot of money from selling roasted sweet potatoes during this period, so the money for medical expenses would definitely be enough.

　　Xu Qingqing has already decided that she will not go back to her hometown. There is no future for her to go back to her hometown and raise children, but she can make a lot of money by selling sweet potatoes here, even though the business is small. She has been selling here for a month or two, and the net profit is almost 100 yuan.

　　She earned cents from farming in her hometown, and she won't have that much money left at the end of the year.

　　"Thank you. If I need anything, I will definitely contact you." Xu Qingqing accepted the kindness of Gu Nianwei and Jiang Youtao.

　　At this time, a young man came out of Aunt Yang's house and shouted to Xu Qingqing. Xu Qingqing looked back at him, said a few words to Jiang Youtao and the others, and then went back.

　　The two entered the room one after the other. Xu Qingqing was talking, and the young man didn't say much, just responding from time to time.

　　Unexpected harmony.

　　Jiang Youtao thought that this was probably Xu Qingqing's destined husband. He lived alone with his son after his wife died of illness. After the reform and opening up, he became a construction worker, slowly built a construction team, and finally entered the real estate industry.

　　The two of them support each other in business and take care of each other in life, which is much better than the fast traveler He Xunrao who didn't even help when the soy sauce bottle fell over.

　　At least this man would take care of the housework after Xu Qingqing was tired. The fast traveler He Xunrao didn't give anything except a few sweet words to coax Xu Qingqing.

　　Jiang Youtao hopes that Xu Qingqing's life in this life will be as happy as her previous life.

　　When they returned to the dormitory, Fu Shaohua was waiting downstairs. Fu Shaohua was carrying an insulated box containing something Shao Qing had specially brought for her.

　　Today the Fu family was going back to the military compound for dinner, so Fu Shaohua left in a hurry.

　　Before he went upstairs, Han Yanqing and Han Taorui arrived.

　　Grandpa Han and Grandma Han had arrived in the capital two days ago. They moved into the family compound that Han Yanqing had rented in advance. The house was not big, but it had heating, which was better than the courtyard house. His courtyard house was also involved in a lawsuit.

　　Yesterday, Han Yanqing came to ask Gu Nianwei to go to his house to celebrate the New Year, but Gu Nianwei didn't go because she was thinking about Jiang Youtao and Xu Manqiu.

　　Han Yanqing also came to deliver food.

　　He talked to Gu Nianwei for a long time before leaving.

　　The two of them entered the dormitory one after the other. They had just eaten and were not hungry yet. They really couldn't eat these dishes.

　　Jiang Youtao looked at the pork elbow and pork belly in the thermos lunch box and said, "We shouldn't have eaten out earlier."

　　The food smelled delicious, but Jiang Youtao really had no appetite.

　　Gu Nianwei opened her thermal lunch box, which was also full of meat and vegetables, with the dumplings placed separately.

　　She thought for a moment and said to Jiang Youtao, "How about we wait for Yunyun and the others to come back and eat together?"

　　Zhong Lingling is a local and went back to have the New Year's Eve dinner during the holiday.

　　Feng Yunyun, Cheng Linfang and He Shuangxi had no concept of holidays at all. As soon as the holiday came, the three of them went to the library.

　　"Okay, let's eat together."

　　It would be a waste if they don't eat it anyway. The weather is cold and it will solidify by tomorrow morning. Besides, if they put it aside, it won't taste as good when they reheat it next time.

　　The two of them got down to work. Jiang Youtao went to get some hot water, while Gu Nianwei cleared the only table in the dormitory, covered it with newspapers, and put the food on it. Then she went to the next door to call Xu Manqiu.

　　Xu Manqiu thought about it, took the money and went outside, and soon bought two large bottles of drinks.

　　This is Jianlibao. It tastes good, but it's a bit expensive. Normally, Xu Manqiu would avoid it when she saw it, but today is New Year's Day, so she doesn't feel bad about it.

　　Feng Yunyun, Cheng Linfang and He Shuangxi did not return until it was almost dark.

　　Just before the Chinese New Year, the school gave out student subsidies. It wasn't much money, but it was enough for He Shuangxi to make a quilt. After she made the quilt, she took the money back from her classmate.

　　Who would want to sleep with two people when one can sleep in one bed? Wasn't she forced to do so before? Besides, she always lived in other people's dormitories, which made her get looked down upon.

　　Now that she has moved back, He Shuangxi feels extremely comfortable.

　　But all that comfort instantly turned into emotion after she opened the door and saw the table full of New Year's Eve dinner.

　　They had never thought that they could have a decent New Year's Eve in a foreign place. The dazzling array of dishes on the table, all meat dishes, almost brought tears to He Shuangxi's eyes.

　　Jiang Youtao called them in and said, "My boyfriend and Weiwei's boyfriend sent us some food. We ate some outside before and we're not too hungry. But if we keep it, it might not taste good tomorrow, so we wanted to eat it with you guys."

　　The meals on the table are all meat dishes. Such dishes will not go bad and will not taste bad even if they are left for two or three meals, let alone one.

　　Feng Yunyun and the other two didn't take Jiang Youtao's words to heart.

　　Cheng Linfang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her backhand, and then said, "Weiwei, Taotao, thank you."

　　Feng Yunyun and He Shuangxi didn't say anything either, but they knew that they would remember this New Year's Eve for the rest of their lives.

　　The aroma of meat, vegetables and rice that night, mixed with the sweetness of Jianlibao, will be remembered and thought about by the three people for the rest of their lives.

　　In the dormitory, there was no need to keep watch. But that night, the lights in the dormitory were not turned on. The atmosphere was set here. Jiang Youtao took out melon seeds and peanuts, and the five girls sat on the bed, eating melon seeds and peanuts while chatting.

　　After a month of studying, today is a rare time for everyone to relax.

　　It was not until the second half of the night that everyone dispersed.

　　When they woke up the next day, the sun was already high outside.

　　Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year and we have a day off. Jiang Youtao pulled open the curtain and saw that everyone was still sleeping and no one had gotten up.

　　Jiang Youtao covered herself with the quilt and went to sleep.

　　She clicked on the melon-eating system out of boredom, and the melon-eating system quietly came online at this time: [ Host, the reason for the collapse of the small world on the 16th has been found. ]

　　The small world of No. 16 the quick traveler has ended, but the reason for the collapse of No. 16 in the previous life has never been found out.

　　Today, there was finally a result, and Jiang Youtao suddenly became interested.

　　[ In the previous five worlds, the fast traveler He Xunrao once went to a magic world. He compensated a girl who had fallen into a dark magician. After the girl died, the fast traveler left the magic world. The black magic that the scumbag transformation system had cast on the magic girl was completely useless. ]

　　[ The magic girl couldn't stand being fooled, so she directly degenerated into a necromancer. After searching for decades, she finally found the secret technique to attack people from a distance. The secret technique directly locked the soul. He Xunrao was attacked, and on the day he was taken away by the Security Bureau, he turned to ashes on the road. ]

　　[ The magical girl he compensated was a well-deserved genius in the magical continent. When her magic power was at its peak, she could even flatten a country. She wanted to blow up He Xunrao's soul, and even the small world No. 16 suffered irreversible damage. ]

　　[ And this secret technique is directly bound to the soul, which means that He Xunrao may explode at any time. The scumbag transformation system may be stripped at any time. Host, I hope you can inform the military of this matter and ask them to take measures. ]

　　[ I will monitor it at all times, and when the scumbag transformation system is stripped away, I will recycle it. ]

　　The "Melon-Eating" system has no entity, and everything it needs to do is based on Jiang Youtao's authorization.

　　Without Jiang Youtao's authorization, it can't do anything or contact anyone.

　　This is a big deal. He Xunrao can blow up a small world with an explosion, so the power must be quite large. Although the explosion will not affect the big world, it is possible that someone will be killed.

　　Everyone in the institute is a soldier, they shouldn't lose their lives for a person like He Xunrao.

　　Jiang Youtao got up, put on her clothes and walked out quietly. Gu Nianwei turned over and continued to sleep.

　　Jiang Youtao walked to the security department, where Gu Hanshen and others were having dinner.

　　The order their team received was to protect Jiang Youtao.

　　Seeing Jiang Youtao, Gu Hanshen put down his chopsticks and walked out.

　　The two found a deserted place and told Gu Hanshen what they had heard from the melon-eating system.

　　Gu Hanshen looked serious and nodded as he listened. Jiang Youtao said, "We can find a small house in an open area for He Xunrao to live in. His system has been contained, and some of his heaven-defying things can no longer be taken out. There is no need to worry about him running away."

　　"Okay." After Gu Hanshen finished speaking, he asked Jiang Youtao: "The chief asked me to ask you if you are interested in joining the organization. We can arrange for you to join a less busy unit."

　　Jiang Youtao shook her head: "It's fine to join the party, it's my honor. But I don't want to work in the unit."

　　There are many rules within the system, and it is quite relaxed, but in Jiang Youtao's view, it is indeed a constraint.

　　She doesn't really like the nine-to-five life. She wants to be a self-employed person and a rent collector. When she is in a good mood, she goes out to sell things at the stall. When she is in a bad mood, she just lies at home.

　　No worries about food and drink, no worries about money.

　　Gu Hanshen nodded and did not force her. The leader said that these talented people all have their own tempers and cannot be forced. Forcing them will only make enemies.

　　Jiang Youtao was ready to go back, but after taking two steps, she stepped back: "Well, Comrade Gu, if possible, could you help me ask the chief to get me a certificate to allow me to run a business?"

　　"I have a lot of stuff stored here. If I don't sell it, I'll have nowhere to put it."

　　As soon as the 16th small world ended, the melon seeds inventory increased a lot, and the backpack could not hold them all. If she didn't sell them out, she would not be able to put them in the backpack if she went to a few more worlds.

　　Gu Hanshen thought of Jiang Youtao's past experience of selling melon seeds, guessed something, and said, "Okay, I'll report this to my superiors."

　　"OK."

　　Jiang Youtao really left this time.

　　Gu Hanshen was indeed reliable, and he brought her the certificate of self-employed business owner at noon. The number 001 on it made Jiang Youtao like it more and more.

　　She chuckled and thought that when someone in the future inquired about who the first self-employed person was after the reform and opening up, her name would probably be the one that appeared.

　　She can be considered a figure who made history.

　　Just as she put away my documents, Fu Shaohua came. He came to take Jiang Youtao to go ice skating in Shichahai.

　　Of course, Gu Nianwei and the others couldn't miss such a grand event. They called Xu Manqiu, and the three of them dressed warmly and followed Fu Shaohua out.

　　The house that Han Yanqing rented was not far from the capital city, so the group went to call the brother and sister.

　　Old Mrs. Han hadn't seen the four of them for a long time. She immediately gave the red envelopes in her hand to the four of them and put a lot of candies and snacks into their pockets.

　　There are also buses running on the first day of the Lunar New Year. In recent years, there are quite a few people going to Shichahai for sightseeing, and the buses are very crowded. Han Yanqing and Fu Shaohua are like two huge mountains, surrounding the four girls tightly.

　　They got off the bus at Shichahai Station. If Jiang Youtao hadn't pulled them, Han Taorui and Xu Manqiu would definitely not have been able to get off the bus.

　　Shichahai is the largest lake in the capital, consisting of Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai.

　　Thick ice formed on the sea, and some people were sitting on wooden plows being pulled by others, while others were sliding on ice skates.

　　Seen from a distance, the broad picture appears to be filled with people.

　　Jiang Youtao and the others did not go to the sea to join in the fun, but walked along the beach. There is the best-preserved ancient street here, and walking in it is like being in ancient times.

　　As Fu Shaohua was walking, someone patted him on the shoulder: "Shaohua."

　　Fu Shaohua turned around and saw that the person coming was Yan Qinghe, an engineer who had gone to Zaoxiang Commune to build a factory and who had grown up with Fu Shaohua.

　　"Brother Qinghe, why are you here too?"

　　"I'm here to play with my nephew. Those guys are skating inside. I came here to get some fresh air."

　　As soon as Yan Qinghe finished speaking, Han Taorui came back from the side. She saw Yan Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Yan Qinghe. Yan Qinghe's face turned red all of a sudden.

　　"Do you know each other?" Fu Shaohua's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.

　　Han Yanqing's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Yan Qinghe.

　　Han Taorui said, "I know him. Our troupe went to perform with Comrade Yan's troupe a few years ago."

　　Yan Qinghe nodded and said yes, his nephew called him, he smiled apologetically at the few people, and then left.

　　Three years have passed, and Han Taorui is already twenty-one years old. It's time for her to worry about her personal affairs.

　　The deputy group leader of Han Taorui's unit tried to match her up with someone several times, but it didn't work out. However, one of the candidates was Yan Qinghe.

　　"Before I went on vacation, our deputy regiment commander arranged a blind date for me, and the person I met was Comrade Yan."

　　Now, everyone's attention was attracted by Han Taorui. Han Yanqing decided to find Fu Shaohua later to learn more about Comrade Yan.

　　Jiang Youtao asked Han Taorui how she felt about Yan Qinghe, and Han Taorui said, "Compared to the others, I think Comrade Yan is okay. But dating is not a trivial matter, I need to learn more about him."

　　Han Taorui is afraid of snakes once bitten, and she is afraid of ropes for ten years. She needs to be more careful about the relationship, otherwise she will not be able to survive if someone like Huo Chengyu comes along.

　　Jiang Youtao confirmed her idea: "Yes, you are right. We need to wait and see. Three to five years is not too late."

　　Han Taorui held Jiang Youtao's hand, and the few of them were very affectionate two years ago.

　　The group played until night fell before returning.

　　They started classes on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Before the end of the first month of the year, the lawyer they hired, Zhang Xuguang, brought them good news: their lawsuit was over and they were going to get their house back.

　　After hearing the news, Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei couldn't concentrate in class. As soon as school was over at noon, they couldn't wait to run to Yangshu Hutong.

　　The people in the house lost the lawsuit and moved out, and the whole courtyard became quiet.

　　Those who lost the lawsuit were particularly unwilling to leave, and the curses written on the wall with paint did not affect Jiang Youtao and the others' good mood at all.

　　After walking around, they went to Fu's house together.

　　Shao Qing had already returned from get off work. When she saw them coming, she immediately asked Fu Wenyan to buy some meat. Unable to refuse such a kind invitation, Jiang Youtao and the others had no choice but to stay for dinner.

　　At the dinner table, Shao Qing heard the purpose of the two people's visit and said, "There is a family named Xing in Xiaojing Hutong near the capital. The elder of his family is good at masonry work and has a group of people working with them."

　　"They have good skills and work honestly. Whenever there is something wrong with our family, we always go to them. His family lives at the entrance of the alley, and he has a small stall selling sweet potatoes at the door."

　　When Shao Qing just mentioned Xiaojing Hutong, Jiang Youtao felt it looked familiar. After hearing that there was a small stall selling sweet potatoes at the door, Jiang Youtao confirmed it.

　　The man who could do masonry work that Shao Qing mentioned was Xu Qingqing's husband in her previous life.

　　Jiang Youtao always thought that his team was formed after the reform and opening up, but she didn't expect that it exists now.

　　"Them? We happen to know each other. We can just go find them later. Thank you, Aunt Shao."

　　Shao Qing shook her head: "What are you thanking me for? It's so polite. Come and eat. I'll be happy if you guys come to my house more often in the future."

　　Shao Qing never interferes with her son's friendships, unless the person is of very bad character.

　　She knew Jiang Youtao before Fu Shaohua and Jiang Youtao started dating. Later, when Jiang Youtao and Fu Shaohua were together, the letters she received gradually contained more information about Jiang Youtao.

　　Shao Qing has always had a good impression of Jiang Youtao, and she read the article they wrote together with the director of the Women's Federation in Yangping County over and over again.

　　Shao Qing's affection for Jiang Youtao, her future daughter-in-law, was also fully raised. After meeting Jiang Youtao, she found that she was gentle, polite, and worldly-wise, and Shao Qing liked her even more.

　　If Jiang Youtao and the others were not studying, Shao Qing would have urged them to get married.

　　"I will definitely come often in the future, I will definitely come often." Jiang Youtao rarely came to the Fu family, and she always felt embarrassed to come too often. She quickly changed the subject: "Aunt Shao, how did you make the pork elbow you sent me on New Year's Eve? Why is it so delicious?"

　　This praise soon touched Shao Qing's heart, because it was Shao Qing's specialty!

　　"As for the elbow, you have to burn the skin first..."

　　Shao Qing couldn't stop talking about food. Half an hour later, it was time for Shao Qing to go to work, and the two of them came out of Shao's house.

　　They went to Xu Qingqing's house. When Aunt Yang heard that they were looking for her son to do the work and that they were Xu Qingqing's friends, she immediately agreed to the job and promised to get it done for them.

　　Everyone agreed to meet the next day. The next day, when Jiang Youtao and others arrived at Xing's house, Aunt Yang's son Xing Daxin was already waiting at home. Everyone didn't say much nonsense and went directly to Jiang Youtao's house.

　　After Xing Daxin visited three courtyard houses, he offered a repair price of 1,000 yuan per room, including materials and labor. The material cost was the largest part, while labor was the smallest.

　　Jiang Youtao glanced at Gu Nianwei, and immediately paid the deposit and gave the key.

　　In the afternoon, Xing Daxin called his brothers together and started working.

　　After the Chinese New Year, time passed very quickly, as if nothing had been done yet. The trees in the school sprouted new buds without anyone noticing, and the green grass on the ground popped up at some point, getting greener day by day.

　　By the time March came and the Qingming Festival was approaching, the earth was already covered in a layer of green. The capital had also become different from the winter.

　　The lake beside the teaching building thawed at some point, and flocks of wild ducks flying from nowhere would come here to drink water. Suddenly one morning, there were many more wild geese by the water.

　　Tiny but gorgeous flowers bloomed in the grass in the woods.

　　People also changed out of their heavy cotton-padded jackets and put on long sleeves for spring and autumn.

　　In the past few months, the melon-eating system has been unexpectedly quiet, and the new protagonist of the small world has not arrived.

　　In June, when school was on summer vacation, their new home was completely completed.

　　Jiang Youtao and her friends moved into the new house the day after the holiday.

　　The once dilapidated courtyard has been completely renovated. The three main rooms have been connected, the middle one is the living room, and the other two are bedrooms. The side room next to the east room has been used as a bathroom, and the side room of the west room has been connected to form a large wardrobe.

　　The west wing served as a kitchen and dining room, the east wing became a guest room, and the back wing became a warehouse.

　　The wall connecting to the second courtyard at the back was also demolished. The layout of the house inside was similar to the front, except that the floor tiles in the middle were removed, and the courtyard was divided into two sides, one with a small flower garden and the other with a small vegetable garden.

　　Jiang Youtao walked around the place inside and out and liked it more and more.

　　She took Fu Shaohua and talked to him about the planning of the house. Fu Shaohua listened with a smile.

　　After the excitement wore off, she went to Gu Nianwei, who was also very excited. They looked at each other and spun around hand in hand.

　　It was not until this moment that the two of them began to feel truly that they had a courtyard house in the capital.

　　Even though they had the house deeds and keys in their hands, they still feel that everything is so unreal.

　　The two decided to have a good meal to celebrate today.

　　The four of them went out with Xu Manqiu, and they saw a girl wearing a red and yellow plaid jacket and two pigtails coming out from next door to Jiang Youtao, pushing an old lady in her fifties out.

　　When she saw Jiang Youtao and the others, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled at them and pushed the old lady away.

　　At the moment of passing by, Jiang Youtao heard the long-lost reminder of the melon-eating system: [ Ding ~~~ The 17th heroine Yang Yuexia of "Rebirth of the Little Nanny" has been detected. The plot package is being transmitted, please pay attention to it~ ]
