Chapter Twenty-Three: Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil
(The second is more to ask for a recommendation vote, thank you.) )
"Brother Tao, I think Zhao Lan is a little interesting to you." Downstairs, Zhang Liang said with a smile.
"Really? Why didn't I see it? Liu Tao asked rhetorically.
"You are a fan of the authorities, and I am a bystander. I think Zhao Lan is a good girl, not only beautiful, but also very good-hearted. If you're interested in her, you can make a couple. Zhang Liangjian said.
"Cut! Too lazy to pay attention to you! Liu Tao said as he walked forward.
Zhang Liang hurriedly followed.
At this time, Liu Tao saw a person walking on the opposite side. He glanced at it casually and was stunned.
Isn't this one of the four robbers? He suspected that his eyes were wrong. As a result, not far behind this man, he saw another robber. It turned out that the four robbers entered the neighborhood separately in order not to attract the attention of others.
When the last robber passed, Liu Tao said to Zhang Liang: "You wait for me here, and I'll be back immediately." ”
Zhang Liang didn't know what he was going to do, so he nodded and waited for him in place.
Liu Tao followed the last robber and watched them enter one of the buildings. Then, he slowly went in, starting to scan from the first floor and scanning all the way to the third floor, where he found traces of four people.
"Brother Bai, do you think there will be a police officer who will find here?" One of the robbers said to the robber who had a gun in his hand during the day.
"No, it won't. It's not that I haven't been a policeman, where is it as powerful as you think. Everyone has been here for a while to be patient these days, and when the limelight passes, we will sell this batch of goods. The armed robber ordered.
The remaining three nodded.
After Liu Tao got their hiding place, he hurriedly went downstairs. After all, there are many people on the other side, and there are guns in their hands, and if one is not careful, it is very likely that even a small life will be lost.
Soon, he returned to Zhang Liang's face.
"Brother Tao, what were you doing just now?" Zhang Liang asked with a puzzled face.
Liu Tao shook his head, smiled at him, and said, "It's okay, I saw a person just now, and I thought I knew him." As a result, I caught up and looked, and it wasn't. Let's go. ”
"Oh." Zhang Liang followed.
The two broke up at the gate of the community, each went back to their respective homes, and each looked for their own mother.
When Liu Tao returned home, Ai Aimei was cooking.
"Tao, Zhang Qian came to you in the morning, I asked her if she was okay, and she said it was okay. Why don't you go up and have a look? Ai Mei saw her baby son come back and quickly said.
"Okay." Liu Tao said as he walked upstairs.
When he arrived at the door of Zhang Qian's house, he just wanted to knock on the door, and the door opened automatically.
"Liu Tao, you just came back?" Zhang Qian asked with a smile.
"yes. My mom said you came to me in the morning, so I came up and had a look. Is there anything you want me to do? Liu Tao looked at her dress today and asked with a smile.
"Can't I look for you if it's okay? I'm bored at home in the morning, so I wanted to go and hang out with you. I didn't expect you to be there. Zhang Qian's face was filled with a hint of disappointment.
"Today isn't the weekend, I went to Zhang Liang's house to play for a while, and I also went to the jade shop opened by his family for a turn. If you have time, we can go around together and buy you some gifts. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Wait until you have the money. By the way, do you still come to study in the evenings? Zhang Qian then asked.
"Come on, why don't you come. I still have to study hard every day. Liu Tao said seriously.
"Okay, then you can come over early after eating." Zhang Qian said.
Liu Tao nodded and went back to his home.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, the family of three was there.
"Dad, why do you have time to come back for dinner today?" Liu Tao asked with a smile.
"Your aunt didn't have a party tonight, so I don't have to go out with me." Liu Tao's father, Liu Guangming, replied.
"Anyway, Dad, you have driven my aunt's car for so many years, and you don't have any idea when he sees that he is about to retire? Is it difficult to drive a car for a lifetime in the Science and Technology Commission? Liu Tao asked casually.
"I can't do anything but drive, what else can I do? Besides, the treatment of the Science and Technology Commission is quite good, at least it is a public institution, and it can ensure a bumper harvest during drought and flood. Liu Guangming replied.
"That's not what I meant. I mean, don't you want to be a chief of staff or something? Liu Tao then asked. If he had been in the past, he would never have asked his father such a question. But now, he is no longer the same person, and he feels that it is his responsibility to make life better for his parents.
"The chief of staff? Forget it. I don't have much leadership skills, otherwise your aunt wouldn't have let me drive all the time. Liu Guangming shook his head and said.
"Otherwise, Dad, you can just go to the sea. Aren't you good at fixing cars? Open a car repair shop. Liu Tao saw his father say this, and changed to a new one.
"A garage? That's a lot of money. Your mother and I have saved less than 100,000 yuan in total, which is not enough. Besides, the money that is left for your wife cannot be touched. Liu Guangming explained.
"I can solve the problem of money. I have a classmate's father who is very rich, and I can try to get him to help with the investment. As long as you have this faith. Liu Tao thought for a moment and said. He could tell Zhang Zhiwei in advance to invest in his father's auto repair shop in Zhang Zhiwei's name, so that his father would not have to worry about financial matters.
"Really?" A glimmer of light flashed in Liu Guangming's eyes, and he asked very excitedly.
"Of course it's true. Well, I'll help you get in touch another day, and you'll meet. Dad, let me say, you are just too honest, you don't know how to fight for it, and you always think about others first when there are good things. But have others thought about you? Liu Tao said.
"Tao, how did you talk to your dad. Your dad is kind, if he wasn't like this, I wouldn't have followed him back then. Before Liu Guangming could speak, Ai Ai Mei preemptively reprimanded.
"Mom, don't you look at what kind of society it is now, can good people live? Both of you are good people, and your relatives at home are doing your best whether they are here to run errands or to borrow money, but look at how they treat you? Do they send something to our family during the holidays? Liu Tao continued.
"Just be yourself, you don't have to worry about others." Ai Mei said with some anger. In fact, she knew in her heart that what her son said was right, but she and Liu Guangming were both warm-hearted people, and they couldn't see others embarrassed. This kind of character determines a lifetime.
"Tao, your mother and I are estimated to be like this in our lives, and you don't need to persuade us. Besides, I think it's better to be a good person than a bad person, at least sleep soundly at night. When Liu Guangming said this, he suddenly remembered something, and then said: "By the way, a gold store was robbed today, have you heard about this?" ”
"Haifeng's mother said this when she came to play in the afternoon. I heard that it was the Hongxiang gold shop on Shengli Road. Ai Mei said.
"Yes. It's the one opened by Luo Guangshan. Liu Guangming said.
"Luo Guangshan? Isn't this man a ruffian? When Ai Mei heard this name, she was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Not really. I used to go out to help others collect debts, and I did a lot of hurtful things. Later, he stopped doing it and opened this gold shop. Liu Guangming replied.
"Well grabbed! This kind of person should let him break the bank! Aimei shouted with some excitement.
"I'll just say, good will be rewarded, evil will be rewarded, it's not that you don't want to repay it, the time has not come. When the time comes, report it immediately. In the past, it was him who robbed others, but now it is finally their turn to rob him. Liu Guangming said with a smile.
"If the police solve the case, will the robbed things be returned to him?" Aimei then asked.
"Solve the case? I look hanging! That group of robbers is not local, and it is not easy to solve the case. Liu Guangming shook his head and said.
Liu Tao has been listening to the conversation of his parents, and his brain is running rapidly. Originally, he also thought of making an anonymous call to the public security bureau and asking the police to arrest the gang of robbers. But after listening to his parents' words, he felt that calling the police did not seem to be a wise choice. Since the owner of this gold shop is so bad, then he should be allowed to break the bank. But if that's the case, the robbers will get away with it!
No way! Absolutely not! He must not let this gang go unpunished!
Thinking of this, a word came to his mind, black eats black! Since a robber can rob a gold store, then he can rob a bandit too! You know, this robber must have robbed a lot of gold goods, which are worth a lot of money. If he hacked this batch of goods, he would not only increase his income, but also eliminate harm for the people.
However, there were four people on the other side, and one of them had a gun in his hand. If you force it, it will definitely not work, and it seems that you have to outwit it.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to take action late at night. After all, he now has the eye of heaven and can see clearly in the dark night, but the other party can't. In this way, he can take the initiative. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a hint of a smile.
"Tao, are you alright?" Ai Mei saw her baby son there in a daze, and she didn't move her chopsticks, so she patted him and asked.
"It's fine." Liu Tao came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "It seems that the owner of this gold shop has really done too many evils and has been punished." ”
Ai Mei nodded, and then asked, "Do you still want to go to Zhang Qian's house to study at night?" ”
"yes. There are two days left to take the test, and I must get a good score this time. Liu Tao replied.
"Son, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best. If you can't get into college, you have to learn something else, and eat differently. Many of today's college graduates, many of whom are unemployed, stay at home all day and gnaw at their old age. This person, as long as he is not greedy or lazy, his life will not be too bad. Liu Guangming said with a smile. In fact, what he has always cared about is not Liu Tao's achievements, but Liu Tao's attitude. As long as Liu Tao can work hard and do his best, then he feels very content as a father.
Liu Tao nodded, ate the food in the bowl, then said goodbye to his parents, went back to his room to get the textbook, and then went to Zhang Qian's house.
