The richest man reborn

for two.

"What? Someone pierced your car belt? Who did it? That's why you went back so late yesterday?" Xu Minghua asked a series of questions.

Wang Yun and Li Peng were also surprised.

"Well, I don't know, yes." Answering Xu Minghua's questions one by one, Ji Tao thought in his heart, it seems that it wasn't Li Peng or Wang Yun who did it.

Then, there is only one suspect left.

"By the way, who did you hear yesterday about me... about that woman?" Ji Tao looked at the three of them and asked.

that woman?The three of them were taken aback for a moment, and then they understood what Ji Tao was talking about.

Xu Minghua turned to Li Peng and Wang Yun: "That's right, who did you listen to?"

Hearing this, the two pouted towards the table next to Ji Tao.

Is it really Li Xin?

"It turned out to be this guy." Xu Minghua started to grind his teeth when he heard the words, "By the way, since he said that, did he also break the monitor's belt?"

Li Peng and Wang Yunwen were stunned for a moment, then nodded together: "It's very likely."

"How about I ask for you?" Looking at Ji Tao, Xu Minghua asked.

"No need." Ji Tao shook his head, "I can handle this matter myself."

Because the class started soon, and the students in the class slowly came, Li Peng and Wang Yun went back to their seats.

"Squad leader, I heard that Xu Minghua from our class got into a fight with the seniors yesterday and got you involved. Is it true?" Li Jing, Ji Tao's deskmate, asked after the first period.

"En." Ji Tao nodded.

"Then are you alright?" Li Jing asked quickly after hearing this, with a concerned expression on her face.

"fine."

"Then how did I hear that you were sent to the hospital last night?"

"It was just an accident."

Hearing Ji Tao's answer, Li Jing glanced back at Xu Minghua, then approached Ji Tao and whispered: "Squad leader, you should avoid playing with Xu Minghua and the others in the future. I heard that their families are not simple. , it’s not the same as us.”

Ji Tao just smiled when he heard this, and didn't talk to him.

Seeing Ji Tao's reaction, Li Jing didn't say anything more.

After school at noon, Ji Tao was going to the cafeteria, but was dragged away by Xu Minghua.

Looking at the two-story building in Xu Minghua's home, and looking at the obviously shrunken old clothes on his body, Ji Tao prayed in his heart that Xu Minghua's mother was not powerful.

"Mom." Xu Minghua shouted as soon as he entered the door, "I called our little monitor."

"Hey, school is over." Mother Xu greeted her as she spoke. She was wearing an orange coat, black trousers, neat short hair, and a pair of high-heeled shoes on her feet. She was a very temperamental woman. It's also pretty good-looking, about thirty years old.

"Auntie." Ji Tao called out.

"Hey." Mother Xu replied with a smile, "Sit and watch TV for a while, and the meal will be ready soon."

"En." Ji Tao replied with a smile, and was dragged by Xu Minghua to sit on the sofa.

"How is it?" Turning on the TV, Xu Minghua asked Ji Tao with a smile, "Is my mother pretty?"

"Yeah." Ji Tao nodded, at least whether it was his mother who left their brothers and ran away, or the stepmother who came in later, she dumped her for several blocks.

"By the way, why didn't you see your father?" Ji Tao asked without seeing Xu's father.

Xu Minghua replied, "He seldom eats at home at noon."

Ji Tao thinks so too, the deputy mayor must have a lot of entertainment.

After sitting on the sofa and waiting for about ten minutes, Mother Xu prepared the meal and brought it out.

Stewed pork ribs with wax gourd, and two fried dishes, one fried meat with beans and one fried egg with tomatoes, both are good dishes, and I also made rice soup.

"Hurry up and eat." He took a solid bowl and filled Ji Tao with a bowl of stewed pork ribs. It was basically full of pork ribs, and the winter melon was basically invisible.

"Thank you, aunt." After taking the bowl, Ji Tao smiled, and then silently said in his heart, it's worth it, he hasn't eaten meat so seriously for a long time.

After rebirth, the family had cut the flesh once, but it was gone before taking a few pieces.

In order to save face, he didn't act like he had devoured meat, but after this meal, he still ate a steamed bun, a big bowl of stewed ribs, and a bowl of rice soup, which made him very full.

"Xiaotao, you can come here to eat with Minghua at noon." After eating, Xu's mother said with a smile.

"No." Ji Tao immediately refused after hearing the words, "I'd better eat in the cafeteria."

"What's the matter? The food in the cafeteria is not nutritious. Didn't the doctor who examined you yesterday say you were malnourished?" Stretching out her hand to pat Ji Tao's head, Mother Xu said softly, "You don't have to talk to your aunt. You're welcome, if it wasn't for you, Ming Hua, you wouldn't know how he was beaten up yesterday."

"We are all classmates who should help, and besides, I didn't do anything, just shouted at them." Ji Tao still didn't agree.

Eating here every day, isn't it free?Saving Xu Minghua by himself was not for the benefit of the moment.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth." Sitting opposite Ji Tao, Xu's mother said, "Actually, I need your help with something."

Ji Tao immediately sat upright when he heard the words: "Auntie, tell me."

"I want you to make up lessons for our family Minghua, and more importantly, I hope you can supervise him to study." Mother Xu said with a smile.

"Make up lessons for him?" Ji Tao was taken aback, "He studies very well, so I don't need to make up lessons at all. Besides, I am also a student, so how can I make up lessons for him?"

"You, you don't need to be humble with your aunt. Minghua has told me that you are the first in your class every time you take the test, except for Chinese, which is almost a perfect score."

You must know that it is not difficult to get full marks when you are in elementary school, but it is more difficult to get full marks every time in junior high school.

Rao Ji Tao is almost forty and blushes a little when Xu's mother praises him.

"Well... Actually, Xu Minghua is very smart. I haven't seen how he studied for the exam, and he did well in the exam. Every time he is in the top ten in the class, as long as he studies hard..."

"I'm sure I can get into No. [-] Middle School." After receiving Ji Tao's words, Xu's mother said, "His head teacher has told me this several times, but no matter what I say, he just won't listen. Finally, he took the initiative this time. I asked you to help him make up lessons, saying that I will study hard and I will definitely be admitted to No. [-] Middle School in the future, and I said Xiaotao, you just promise my aunt, okay?"

Hearing the words, Ji Tao couldn't help but look at Xu Minghua, so he brought up this matter?

Seeing Ji Tao's gaze, Xu Minghua smiled: "What about the squad leader, do you agree to my mother's suggestion?"

17. Packet capture...

Just talking to Xu Minghua and Xu's mother for this sake, Ji Tao felt that it was hard not to agree, especially when he had eaten someone else's meal just now.

More importantly, in Xu's mother's eyes, he didn't see the kind of superior and contemptuous attitude of the rich towards the poor.

Just like the few people I saw in the hospital yesterday, maybe they have good intentions towards themselves, but there is still a feeling of being nobler than themselves in their eyes.

It wasn't intentional, maybe they also showed that kind of gaze unconsciously, but Xu's mother didn't see it in her eyes, Ji Tao only saw enthusiasm in her eyes.

Just for this, Ji Tao will agree to her request, but...

"It's okay to urge Xu Minghua to study, but it's not necessary to come to your house for dinner, right?" Ji Tao replied looking into the eyes of the two.

"How can I do that?" Xu Minghua objected upon hearing the words, "Wouldn't I be taking advantage of you in this way?"

"That's right." Xu's mother agreed, "It costs a few hundred a month to hire a tutor in the county."

"But the problem is that I'm not a tutor either. I'm just Xu Minghua's classmate. Besides, it's my duty as the monitor to urge my classmates to study..."

"Okay Xiaotao." Interrupting Ji Tao, Xu's mother said, "Don't say that my aunt still wants you to help, even if you don't do anything, it's okay to come to a classmate's house for a meal, Minghua, besides Li The two boys, Peng and Wang Yun, haven't brought other classmates to the house yet, so you should have played well, so don't worry about it so much with your aunt."

"But……"

"No but." Xu Minghua stretched out his hand to hold Ji Tao's neck: "That's it, you help me with my homework, and I will take care of your lunch at noon. It's a fair deal. Besides..." He said He stretched out his hand and pinched Ji Tao's face, "Look at your little face, you're so hungry that you've lost all flesh, and you're slightly anemic and malnourished. Even the doctor told you to take some good supplements."

Ji Tao was taken aback when he heard this, was it because of this that he told his mother to let him make up lessons for him, because he wanted to supplement his nutrition?

Ji Tao's heart suddenly felt a little moved, it seems that no one has thought about himself like this since he grew up.

Seeing that Ji Tao didn't say a word, Xu Minghua smiled with satisfaction: "Let's do it." Then he said to Xu's mother, "Mom, I'm going back to school with the class leader." Then he dragged Ji Tao away .

"Aren't you staying at home so early?" Mother Xu shouted from behind.

"No." Xu Minghua waved her hand. Didn't I promise you to study hard? Now I will go back to school with the class leader to do my homework. "

"Hello!" After leaving the gate, Ji Tao patted Xu Minghua's hand.

"Ok?"

"I said, can you stay so close to me?" Ji Tao asked very sincerely. Now the situation of the two of them is that Xu Minghua's arm is on his shoulder, and their bodies are walking forward close together.But since he knew his sexual orientation, he didn't like to get in close contact with anyone.

"Is there anything wrong with this? I usually do this when I play with Li Peng and Wang Yun?" Xu Minghua stretched out his hand and pinched Ji Tao's face, "I'm telling you, I don't feel comfortable holding you, Your body is so skinny that you don't even have bones, I will ask my mother to cook more delicious food, and then make you fat, so that pinching your face will be more comfortable."

"Loose...loose, let go." Pulling Xu Minghua's hand away, and then reaching out to rub his face, Ji Tao felt that his face must have been pinched red.

It seems that starting from today, Xu Minghua has become more and more serious about pinching himself. What's wrong with this?Bai Xia himself had a good feeling for the point he raised just now, why did he do that just to pinch himself to make him more comfortable.

"Hey, don't say that you look better after you blush." ​​Looking at the half of Ji Tao's face that was pinched red by himself, it was pink, and it looked particularly good-looking by taking advantage of his fair skin.

"Get out! You're pretty." Ji Tao said, pushing Xu Minghua away from him, and then quickly walked to the front, "Hurry up and go back to school, didn't you just promise your mother that you will study hard? ?"

After hearing this, Xu Minghua hurried forward, and then put his arms around Ji Tao's shoulders again, calling it so that they could reflect their friendship.

Hearing this, Ji Tao couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, knowing that this guy didn't regard him as a friend before.

However, no matter how I feel, I have become childish.

The two were arguing all the way and soon arrived at the school. When they reached the door of the class, Ji Tao suddenly saw a very familiar person.

He usually doesn't come to school so early, right?Looking at the figure not far in front of him, Ji Tao narrowed his eyes.

"Xu Minghua, you go back to the classroom first, I have something to do." Thinking in his heart, Ji Tao said to Xu Minghua who was still hanging on his body.

"What's the matter?" Xu Minghua asked after hearing the words.

"Private business?"

"What's the matter with you little brat... Look, you are lower than me and younger than me. Is it wrong for me to call you little brat?"

Ji Tao sighed helplessly in his heart: "Can I go to the toilet?"

Xu Minghua laughed when he heard the words: "Go to the toilet, then I just want to go too, let's go together!"

Ji Tao really felt helpless now: "I said when did you become so... like conjoined twins? Didn't you all follow Li Peng and Wang Yun before?"

Xu Minghua was not angry when he heard this, but just smiled at him.

"Forget it." Rolling his eyes, Ji Tao said, "Just follow if you think about it."

Hearing Ji Tao let go, Xu Minghua couldn't help but feel a little proud: "I said it earlier."

Following Ji Tao's footsteps, Xu Minghua became a little puzzled: "Aren't you going to the toilet, what are you doing at the parking place?"

"Just follow along."

Xu Minghua shut up when he heard the words, and as soon as he and Ji Tao walked to the school's special parking place for bicycles, they saw a sneaky person... Anyway, that's what it meant. Next to the car, he took something out of his pocket and squatted in front of the car. It was obvious from his appearance that he wanted to do something bad.

"Isn't that Li Xin sitting next to you?" Xu Minghua squinted and said, "What is he trying to do to your car?"

"Just go up and ask if it's okay." Ji Tao said and walked towards Li Xin, and Xu Minghua quickly followed after seeing this.

Li Xin was holding a steel nail and was about to puncture the belt of Ji Tao's car like yesterday, when he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder.

Ji Xin was so frightened that the steel nail fell to the ground, holding his beating heart, turned his head and saw Ji Tao and Xu Minghua with arms folded looking at him.

"Why are you here?" Li Xin asked with a pale face when he saw the person in front of him clearly.

Xu Minghua raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "What do you think?"

Li Xin opened his mouth, and after a while he said, "I'm going back to the classroom." Xu Minghua grabbed his arm just as he was about to leave.

"Don't rush away." Xu Minghua said with a smile, "Tell me, what do you want to do."

After holding back for a while, Li Xin said, "...passing by."

Xu Minghua laughed when he heard the words: "You are lying to an idiot. The squad leader and I saw it just now. You want to use steel nails to impale his car, don't you? I said I couldn't see it. I'm usually quite stupid. A kid can't imagine that you're so mean?"

"You...you are talking nonsense!"

"Yo~" He reached out and patted Li Xin on the shoulder, Xu Minghua said, "Don't stutter if you have the ability."

Li Xin's face turned red upon hearing this.

"Why did you tear the belt of my bicycle?" Ji Tao, who had been silent all this time, said, "I don't like it? Is it also because of this that you spread the word about my family in class and school?"

Although he didn't mind as much as before, he was still a little uncomfortable with people pointing at him no matter where he went these two days.

Biting his lip, Li Xin said desperately, "Isn't that the truth? I'm not lying, your mother did run away with her, shameless, and the son she gave birth to won't be much better!"

"You are so courageous!" Hearing what Li Xin said, Xu Minghua stretched out his fist angrily and was about to hit someone, but fortunately he was stopped by Ji Tao.

"Then why did you steal my money?" Looking at Li Xin who was a little scared, Ji Tao asked slowly, "Is it because I feel disgusted that I have a mother who ran away with others, or is it simply because I don't like it? ?”

18. See sex and forget friends...

Hearing Ji Tao's words, Xu Minghua turned around and looked at him in surprise, "What, he also stole your money? That's why you didn't eat at noon yesterday, and you fainted at night?"

Ji Tao nodded.

"You have guts!" Turning around and nodding at Li Xin, Xu Minghua stretched out his fist again.

"Don't be impulsive!" Stopping Xu Minghua again, Ji Tao said, "You just got into a fight with someone yesterday, and you fought again today, do you have to have the school mark you off or expel you?"

"What are you afraid of!" Xu Minghua turned his face slightly, "My dad is..."

"I know, I know!" Ji Tao said with a suppressed smile, "Your father is Li Gang, the school dare not do anything to you."

After hearing this, Xu Minghua was full of doubts; "Who is Li Gang? How could my dad be him? Didn't you make a mistake?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I made a mistake. Anyway, leave this matter alone and leave it to me, OK? I'm the squad leader anyway." After finishing speaking, he winked at Xu Minghua in a fawning manner.

"Then... that's fine." Xu Minghua nodded reluctantly.

After comforting Xu Minghua, Ji Tao turned around and looked at Li Xin: "Tell me, why are you targeting me?"

Li Xin refused to admit it with a straight face: "When did I target you, and you said that I stole your money, do you have evidence? You are a poor man, do I need to steal your money?"

Ji Tao was not annoyed when he heard the words, but just smiled: "Okay, since you are stubborn, I can only tell the class teacher, but you are tying my car belt and spreading my privacy, and you You're still a thief, I don't know if the class teacher will let you be a study committee member after he finds out."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Li Xin's expression, he dragged Xu Minghua back to the classroom.

"Wait a minute!" Hearing that Ji Tao wanted to tell the teacher, Li Xin panicked immediately, "Can you not tell the class teacher?"

Ji Tao raised his lips when he heard the words, and then pulled Xu Minghua to turn around; "Yes, but you can tell me first, how did I offend you? Every day, I am tying up cars and stealing my money. .”

If the teacher in charge hadn't told him to be careful this morning, he would have to find someone to pick up the car after school this afternoon.

"Because I don't like you!" Li Xin said after being silent for a while.

"Can't understand me?" Ji Tao didn't understand, "Why, how did I offend you?"

"Obviously we were double hundred when we took the junior high school entrance examination. Why are you the class monitor and I am the sports committee member?" Li Xin's tone was very aggrieved and resentful.

When he was in elementary school, he was the monitor of the preschool class, and he was always the first in the class in exams. Who knew that in No. [-] middle school, Ji Tao would dominate him everywhere in the class.

"That's it?" Ji Tao was stunned when he heard the words, "But when the teacher chooses the class, he arranges it according to the name on the report card, and the class leader is this guy, okay?" Pointing at Xu Minghua, Ji Tao said, "I'm just a substitute."

"So I don't like him either." Li Xin continued.

Ji Tao didn't understand even more: "Then why are you only targeting me and not him?"

Li Xin was silent now.

Ji Tao said that he understood, this is the persimmon picking soft pinch.

"So just because of this, you go around the school talking about my family, ramming my car, and stealing my money?"

"I didn't steal your money." Li Xin still refused to admit it.

Ji Tao smiled when he heard the words: "A classmate saw it."

"I really didn't steal it, the money is in your book."

"Stuck in the book?" Ji Tao frowned, "I looked through the books I used yesterday morning several times but couldn't find them."

"It's in your art book." Li Xin said in a low voice.

Ji Tao was speechless, art, they only have one class a week.

"I didn't steal your money." Seeing Ji Taojuemo, Li Xin couldn't help but feel confident, and his voice gradually became louder, "I just don't like you, and I want to punish you so that you have no money Just eat and be hungry."

Ji Tao couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard the words, why was he hungry at noon yesterday because of this?But today's children are really easy to deceive.

"Also... when Li Jing was in elementary school, she played with me even though she was very good with me, but in the first middle school, she hangs around you every day." Li Xin's voice was very upset, full of indignation that a good friend was robbed .

Xu Minghua: "..." He Zhu still has elements of jealousy in it.

Ji Tao: "..." It turns out that the child has already started to fall in love with him at this time.

"That..." After a long silence, Ji Tao said silently, "She didn't circle around me, it's just because I'm the monitor and she's the deputy monitor, and sometimes we need to work together to complete the things that the head teacher asked..."

"What are you explaining to him? Isn't what you're talking about now about him stabbing your car and stealing your money?" Interrupting Ji Tao impatiently, Xu Minghua glared at Li Xin and said.

Ji Tao nodded and looked at Ji Xin: "You should know what the consequences will be if I tell the teacher?"

Li Xin's eyes flickered when he heard this, and his expression was a little scared.

"Forget it." Sighing, Ji Tao said, "I won't tell the teacher this time, but I hope that such childish things will not happen again in the future."

"Really? You won't tell the teacher?" Ji Xin raised his head suddenly, a little in disbelief.

"Hey, squad leader." Xu Minghua pulled Ji Tao and asked, "Are you really planning to let him go like this?"

"En." Nodding his head, Ji Tao dragged the reluctant Xu Minghua away.

"You really don't intend to take revenge, but let him do this behind your back?" Xu Minghua said disapprovingly while being dragged away by Ji Tao.

"Or else? You can't argue with him as a child." Ji Tao replied casually, he couldn't bully a child by himself as an adult in his [-]s or [-]s.

"Forget it, you don't care what I'm doing, but if next time..."

"If he does that again next time, even if you don't need to take action, I will ask him to settle the score. Okay, let's go back to the classroom. There is still a lot of homework to do."

"Yo~ you two are here~"

As soon as he returned to the classroom, he heard Li Peng's and Wang Yun's slightly eccentric voices. If he hadn't seen the smiles on their faces, Ji Tao would almost have thought that the change in their attitude towards him this morning was his own illusion.

"What's the matter, you two?" Xu Minghua asked after patting the heads of the two of them, "This tone is strange."

"What are you talking about?" Li Peng asked, crossing his arms, "the three of us used to go home and go to school together, but today you just didn't wait for us at noon, and you wanted to take the squad leader back to your house for dinner. Well, why don't you even wait for us to go to school, really..."

"Forget about friends!" Wang Yun continued.

"Yes!" Li Peng nodded: "Forget friends after seeing sex!"

Xu Minghua was speechless: "...What's wrong with seeing sex and forgetting friends, the squad leader is just like us, okay?"

Wang Yun was a little dissatisfied when he heard the words: "Sex doesn't just refer to women."

"It doesn't mean that a woman can be a boy?"

"..." I don't know why, but Ji Tao always feels that what they say is so...wrong?

"By the way, have you read the school's bulletin board?" Wang Yun suddenly changed the subject.

"The bulletin board? Didn't read it." Xu Minghua replied after hearing the words.

"Could it be that the punishments for those who beat someone yesterday have come down?" Ji Tao suddenly asked.

"Yes." Li Peng nodded, "They were all fired."

Ji Tao was taken aback when he heard the words, it shouldn't have happened, the fight yesterday didn't cause any major injuries, and it wasn't all because of them that he was hospitalized, he thought it was a major demerit or something at most.

After thinking about it, it was probably because of the backgrounds of Xu Minghua and the others. Sure enough, there are people above who are good at handling things.

Ji Tao didn't feel sorry or wronged for those people. He heard that those people always caused troubles in school and always liked to bully other students.

After talking about this, Xu Minghua and Ji Tao lay down on their desks to do their homework.

Li Peng and Wang Yun didn't think there was anything wrong with Ji Tao's behavior. After all, he was usually like this, but they were surprised that Xu Minghua was like this.

But they didn't expect that the more unexpected thing was still to come. Xu Minghua's changes later made them completely blindfolded, because Xu Minghua, who didn't like to stay in the classroom very much, basically stayed in the classroom during recess time...studying.

And in class, I no longer talk back to the teacher like before, or pass notes, talk to others and other behaviors that disrupt the rhythm between classes. Instead, I listen to the class carefully, and sometimes I will take the initiative to answer the teacher's questions, and the grades are straight. Rise, especially in English is particularly evident.

Not only Li Peng and Wang Yun were surprised by these changes, but even the other students in the class and his teacher were also surprised.

And the happiest one belongs to Xu Minghua's mother. As she cooks more and better dishes when she stays with Ji Tao for lunch, this result directly leads to Ji Tao gaining weight in winter I lost a few catties, and even grew a lot taller.

"Tsk, little squad leader, you really feel more comfortable pinching after gaining weight." Xu Minghua said with a smile while pinching Ji Tao's face.

Hearing this, Ji Tao stretched out his hand and slapped his hand away: "You are called pinching, not pinching, thank you!"

"Hey, no." Xu Minghua said, reaching out to grab Ji Tao's hand, "Why are your hands so cold?"

"Nonsense, it's several miles from home to school, can you ride a bicycle without cold hands?" Feeling that Xu Minghua's hands were very hot, Ji Tao simply didn't take them out.

"But, aren't you wearing cotton gloves?" Xu Minghua was puzzled, and then warmed Ji Tao's other hand.

"Yeah." Ji Tao said pitifully, "But it's still very cold."

Xu Minghua didn't say a word at that time, and when he went back to eat at noon, he said to his mother behind Ji Tao's back: "Mom, can you give me some money?"

"Meh." Mother Xu said indifferently, "How much do you want?"

"Well, one...two hundred." Xu Minghua thought in his heart, so much should be enough to buy a down jacket.

Xu's mother raised her head in surprise when she heard the words: "Why do you want so much money? There is no shortage of food or clothing for you at home."

"I saw that the little squad leader was very cold when he went to school every day, and he didn't have a decent padded jacket, so I wanted to buy him a down jacket."

Xu's mother looked at Xu Minghua after hearing the words: "Do you think, according to his personality, would he want it?"

After getting to know him during this period of time, she knew that the child had a very stubborn personality, and he didn't like to take advantage of others, and he had a lot of self-esteem at a young age.

Let’s talk about eating at her house. Although he agreed to her and her son’s repeated requests, except for the first day, he would take the initiative to do the dishes after lunch every day, and sometimes Will help her sweep the floor, clean up and so on.

And more importantly, her son has really improved after following him. A few days ago, when she went to school, their teacher said that his son should be able to take the top five in the final exam.

So for Ji Tao, she really likes him.

Xu Minghua was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect this: "Then what should we do?"

"Let's do this." Xu's mother thought for a while and said, "Find out the two pieces you wore last year and let him wear them."

"How can I do that?" Xu Minghua said without thinking, "Those are old, and they are not warm after washing many times."

"Then..." After thinking for a while, Xu's mother said, "Isn't your cousin the same age as him, his mother just bought him a new down jacket this year, I'm going to buy a new one for him? "

Xu Minghua smiled when he heard the words: "This is fine."

After making the decision, Xu Minghua and Ji Tao went back to school, and when school was over in the afternoon, he gave Ji Tao his cotton gloves.

"I have." Ji Tao replied, raising the one in his hand.

"You've been wearing the one for several years, and it's not warm even if it's too small." Xu Minghua couldn't help but handed the gloves to him, "Anyway, I don't need to ride a bike, so I don't care whether I wear gloves or not."

In the end, he declined but Ji Tao had no choice but to accept it. When he touched it, it looked like new cotton gloves, and he felt warm in his heart.

After getting along for this period of time, he no longer simply used Xu Minghua at the beginning, and even people who were cold-hearted for such a long time showed affection, but his good mood did not last to the family.

Seeing the two extra people in his family, Ji Tao's eyes darkened. Isn't that his stepmother and future sister-in-law?

19. Stepmother enters the door...

Besides them, Ji Tao's third aunt was also there.

"This is Xiaotao, right?" Seeing Ji Tao coming back, the woman smiled honestly, "After school, let me cook for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Tao said coldly: "Dad, who is she?"

"She is..." Ji Yuan groaned for a long time without uttering a complete sentence, and finally Geng Li stood up from the bed and said, "Xiao Tao, go out and talk to Third Aunt."

Looking at Geng Li, Ji Tao nodded slowly, and then followed her out.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Since that woman left, Tao Xiao has been closer to his third aunt, so she must be able to listen to her words.

Following Geng Li to the outside yard, Li Tao looked at Geng Li and whispered, "Does that woman want to be my stepmother?"

Geng Li was taken aback when she heard the words: "How do you know?"

Li Tao didn't say anything, just nodded his head.

Seeing this, Geng Li couldn't help sighing: "That woman and her daughter came here begging for food. They've been around here for a long time, and they have nowhere to go. It's a pity."

"What about the people in her family?" Ji Tao asked suddenly. He had been curious about this question in his previous life, but the woman never asked, "Where is her child's father, and there is no one in her family?"

"I don't know." Geng Li shook her head, "She didn't say anything, but she would bring her daughter out to beg for food, and I'm afraid life would not be very good. Either the man died or she was not wanted. As for the mother's family, they all have their own family. , who cares about a married daughter!"

Speaking of this, Geng Li's expression couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Ji Tao knew that she was thinking of her natal family. She was also from other provinces, and she met her third uncle when he went out to work. Seeing that his third uncle was nice and honest, he went home with him. Well, in fact, his third uncle is really honest and treats her very well, except that sometimes he has a little temper and has no shortcomings.

After all, she has not been close to her natal family for many years, so Geng Li adjusted her mood in a short while, and continued to persuade Ji Tao: "Look, you and Xiao Song don't have a mother, and you lack personal care. Make money and don't take care of you two. Now it happens that her mother and her mother don't have a home. Isn't this just a good time to get together to form a family? This way, you three won't even have a place to eat at noon, you say Is it Xiaotao? And that woman also said that she has been sterilized, and she will definitely not have a child with your father in the future, so you don’t have to be afraid that she will treat you and your brother badly. What about you and your brother, right?"

Ji Tao didn't say a word, just sneered in his heart, she really didn't have any more children, she just married her daughter to Ji Song.

Looking at Ji Tao's face, Geng Li knew that he was not happy. Not long after his mother ran away with someone else, his father found him a stepmother. No one would accept it. The two really couldn't find someone who was willing to be with him, and as she said just now, that woman is not young and has a daughter, and what's even better is that she has been sterilized and will not have any more children. Such a person followed Ji Yuan will definitely treat these two children well. The important thing is that the three of them really need someone to take care of them.

"Yeah." Ji Tao nodded, what can he do if he doesn't agree, they have already decided on this matter, no matter whether he agrees or not, the result will be the same, just like in his previous life, no matter how much he protests, in the end The woman and her daughter went in anyway.

In this case, why not simply be a little bit.

Seeing Ji Tao nodding, Geng Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, but...

"Xiao Tao, Auntie has one more thing to discuss with you." Looking at Ji Tao, Geng Li was not sure what tone to use.

"Well, tell me, auntie."

"Well, it's about the house. You see, you and your brother are both over ten years old, and they are considered older children. It was okay to talk to you when we lived together, but now that woman is definitely not your mother. A room is not very convenient, and she also brought a daughter, who is one year older than you, and it is impossible to live together, so I discussed it with your third uncle and your father, see you Can you and your brother live in the house where your grandparents used to live, as for the younger sister you brought, build a wall in the middle of your house, and then vacate a house for her to live in."

While talking, Geng Li looked at Ji Tao's expression, afraid to see that he had
