Chapter 151 Lucky 52 and Happy Dictionary

"Good morning, Teacher Zhou. Old Yao didn't go to buy breakfast today. Zhaodi, call Teacher Zhou."

Shuangjing, in the narrow corridor of the tube building.

The woman with red skin from the cold weighed two large baskets on her thin shoulders. The little daughter she was holding was bloated like a colorful big caterpillar.

The tube building was leaking air from all sides. The little girl's fingers were red from the cold, and her nose was dangling with long clear snot.

The little girl looked up and stared at the clean and beautiful big sister. The big sister's clothes were really white, whiter than snow, and her hair was beautiful and fragrant, even more fragrant than the tofu pudding sold by her mother.

The eyes that were not familiar with the world showed envy, and she timidly called: "Teacher Zhou, Teacher Zhou, you are wearing so little. It's snowing so heavily outside. Teacher Zhou, are you cold?"

"Sister Zhou is not cold. Xiaohua, do you want to eat fried dough sticks?" Zhou Tao squatted down with his windbreaker on and touched the little girl with heartache.

The little girl lived next door to her. Her parents were small vendors. No one took care of her. She had to go out with her mother to make a living at a young age.

It was freezing cold in Beijing. Even adults couldn't stand it. Zhou Tao didn't dare to think about how the little girl could survive.

He wiped the little girl's nose with a handkerchief. Zhou Tao held the fried dough stick bag and said gently: "Sister Zhou, please treat Xiaohua to fried dough sticks~"

"Okay." The little girl waved the fried dough sticks: "Thank you, Sister Zhou. Goodbye, Sister Zhou."

The big sister next door was very nice. She often brought her food. The big sister didn't mind her being dirty. The most beautiful girl in the little girl's childhood was the big sister.

The tube building was very noisy early in the morning. Children cried, the old man coughed dully with his chest pulled, and the narrow corridor was full of war.

Zhou Tao felt that women living in the tube building were omnipotent warriors. She admired them very much.

At the same time, she told herself that she couldn't be like this.

Beiping City has collective heating, but the heating pipes in the tube building have been in disrepair for a long time. The heating fee is a heavy expense for ordinary families in Beiping in winter.

Many people choose to add clothes instead of spending money.

The house is cold and the furniture is piled up in the cramped house.

The bed and wardrobe are placed near the window, and the rest of the space is barely enough for people.

Zhou Tao rolled up his sleeves, took out the coffee table from under the TV, and took out two bowls from the cabinet under the TV.

He took out the steaming porridge and fried dough sticks, put two pairs of chopsticks on them, and called: "Lao Yao, come out for breakfast, let's go out and see the snow later."

After a while, Lao Yao came out of the house, sat on the head of the bed with his butt sticks sticking up, hesitated for a moment, and said solemnly: "Zhou Tao, let's have a child."

Zhou Tao froze for a moment.

Lao Yao has a good temperament and character. They were in a free love relationship in college. When she was a freshman, Lao Yao was a junior and a popular senior in the school.

Lao Yao's job is not bad either, he is a broadcaster at the Central Radio Station.

Lao Yao's cooking skills are also good. She gets up early and works late, and Lao Yao always cooks a big table of steaming meals for her after work.

But.

Zhou Tao can't give birth to a child for him. He gently put down his chopsticks and negotiated, "Lao Yao, when we got married, we agreed not to rush to have children. Now our careers have just improved. If we have children, who will take care of them?"

Zhou Tao thought of Xiaohua, who he met in the morning, who had to go out to make a living at such a young age.

If he had a child, and the child lived in a tube building after birth, would she blame him for bringing her to this world to suffer?

Besides, her dream since childhood was to be a host. For this dream, she tried her best, step by step, and went through untold hardships, and finally stood at the starting line of her dream.

At the critical moment of preparing to start the race, if she gave birth to a child at this time, everything would be ruined.

The more he thought about it, the calmer Zhou Tao became, and his words became less peaceful: "Lao Yao, we live in a tube building now. What should we do after the child is born? Our parents are farmers. Who will help us take care of the child?"

"Our career has just improved. Would it go against our original intention to have a child at this time?"

"Why can't we have children in a tube building? Aren't all the children in the Tongzi Building children?" Lao Yao felt uncomfortable and put down his chopsticks heavily.

He was just asking, and he didn't really want to have a child.

Besides,

They have been married for 4 years, and now both of them have stable jobs, although the conditions are a little worse.

But.

There are so many people in the tube building, and the conditions are worse than theirs. They can have children, so why can't Zhou Tao have one?

"Xiao Tao, I'm doing this for your own good. The golden childbearing age for women is only a few years. You're 29 now. It will be very difficult and risky to have a baby at 30."

"Although career is the most important thing, we all have good jobs now. We all have regular employees. We don't have to worry about birth, old age, sickness and death, food and drink. Although we are not rich, we don't have to work hard."

"Having a child will help us have no worries, which will also help our careers."

Lao Yao thinks it's time to have a child. Zhou Tao is 29 and he's almost 32.

Classmates, relatives and friends have children, but Lao Yao has to go alone.

"Why do you compare everything to the tube-shaped building? We worked hard for decades to study and walked from a small rural area to the capital. Is it just to live in a palm-sized tube-shaped building and live a life of mediocrity?"

"You can live this kind of life for a lifetime. I can live with my husband wherever he goes, but have you ever thought about whether the child wants to live like this for a lifetime?"

Zhou Tao felt that Lao Yao was unreasonable. The conditions in the tube-shaped building were so bad that it was hard for two people to live there. There was no place for children to live.

She felt that Lao Yao was so strange. When he was in college, he had ideals, ambitions, and dreams of exploring the world.

Now he is busy with daily necessities, working and living.

He has a good temper and treats her well.

But Zhou Tao is not the Zhou Tao who would be happy all day when Lao Yao came to see her with a bouquet of flowers in college.

She wants to realize her ambitions, she wants flowers and applause.

Zhou Tao stared at the porridge, the steaming porridge cooled down, and it tasted tasteless when it cooled down.

Zhou Tao suddenly felt very sad, her life was a mess.

"Zhou Tao, after all, you just despise me for being incompetent. I am incompetent. If I were capable, wouldn't I be able to decide whether my wife should have a child or not?"

Lao Yao was annoyed.

His conditions are not bad. He works for a large unit of CCTV, has a career system, and can make a stable income.

He doesn't smoke or drink, and his salary is fully handed in. How can he end up with nothing and can't even support a child?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Old Yao sneered with a cold face: "You want to be the wife of a billionaire and give birth to a billionaire's child, but you don't want to be the wife of an ordinary broadcaster and give birth to an ordinary broadcaster's child."

"Yao Ke, you..." Zhou Tao looked up instantly.

Old Yao's humiliating words whipped her like a whip. Zhou Tao was filled with shame and anger, biting her lips tightly and staring with her eyes wide open.

The cold wind was whistling outside the window, but the room was colder than the city of Beijing in the middle of winter.

There was a small coffee table between the two of them, as if there was a natural barrier.

Buzz buzz buzz.

The sudden call interrupted the couple's quarrel. The two looked at each other calmly, and life went from a mess to a normal track.

Zhou Tao looked at the incoming call on his mobile phone.

A pair of phoenix eyes stared at the screen.

Old Yao heated up the porridge, and the cold porridge was steaming again.

Silently pushing the porridge in front of her and peeling an egg for her, Zhou Tao sighed: "Lao Yao, just eat the egg, I'll take a call."

Zhou Tao didn't go out to answer it. She and Xu Chen had no reason to avoid suspicion.

Xu Chen is Xu Chen, she is her.

"Sister Tao, I have a program for the Spring Festival Gala that was taken down by the CCTV leader. I want to meet the director Yang Weiguang this afternoon..."

On the phone, Xu Chen said casually: "Sister Tao, I don't know anyone else in CCTV. Can you help me lead the way this afternoon?"

Zhou Tao's chopsticks swiped in the porridge.

Zhou Tao felt that she was very cheap. She had a husband, but she fell in love with another man.

The little man, who was only 18 years old, kissed and bit her domineeringly and arrogantly, and she let him kiss and bite her.

Zhou Tao squatted in the recording studio for a long time that day. When she came out, she decided not to see Xu Chen.

She thought she should hang up the phone cleanly at this time, and said coldly: "CCTV has a front desk, and the front desk will take you there."

But.

This little man always finds her weakness lightly, making it impossible for her to refuse.

Zhou Tao wants to improve too much!

A faint laugh came from the phone, and the little man said casually: "Sister Tao, is your husband in front of you? Sister Tao is afraid that your husband will hear me talking?"

Zhou Tao's phoenix eyes flashed with panic, and her legs subconsciously tightened, and her heart seemed to fly out of her chest.

She glanced at Lao Yao, who didn't hear her, and Zhou Tao relaxed instantly. She really didn't want Lao Yao to be hurt.

Zhou Tao felt so cheap.

Xu Chen's words whipped her dignity like a whip, but she was not angry at all.

Only nervousness and guilt remained. Zhou Tao gathered all his strength and said nonchalantly: "I just have to go to CCTV this afternoon. Let's talk about it this afternoon."

"Who is it?" Lao Yao carefully peeled the egg whites, just like in college, the yolk for himself and the egg white for Zhou Tao.

He realized that he had just said too much. He wanted to apologize but couldn't bring himself to apologize. He smacked his lips and muttered: "Capitalism doesn't use people like this. After a day off, they have to catch them back to work hard."

"It's not the station. There is a guest on the show named Xu Chen. He has two songs on the Spring Festival Gala. There is a problem with one of the songs. He wants to ask me if there is any way."

Zhou Tao thought of Xu Chen and felt that she had betrayed her husband. She said guiltily: "Lao Yao, let's go to the Forbidden City when you come back in the afternoon. We always went there when we were in college."

"Okay." Lao Yao felt that he was such a piece of shit. His wife was so virtuous, but he still said such bad words to hurt her.

Apologetically, he said, "Tao'er, I'm sorry, I said too much. My parents called me this morning to urge me. They are old and want to..."

Lao Yao held back, and if he said anything more, he would urge his wife again.

"Lao Yao, when our conditions are better and we buy a new house, we will have children then." Zhou Tao felt even more guilty.

After being married for so long, Lao Yao has been supporting his parents and relatives alone.

The couple had breakfast, and Lao Yao cleaned up the house.

Zhou Tao went to the inner room to change clothes. There were a lot of women's professional OL skirts hanging in the closet.

She had strict requirements for her own dress. No matter spring, autumn or winter, she would wear plain white professional skirts, the hem of the skirt would always be over the knee, and her high heels would always be spotless.

Zhou Tao held the plain white professional OL skirt, and for no reason thought of Xu Chen's broad palms, kissing and biting her rudely and domineeringly.

After a pause, Zhou Tao chose a pure black women's professional suit.

The suit was very conservative.

Sitting in front of the stool, the slender and tall woman in the floor-length mirror, her jet-black and shiny hair falling gently on her shoulders, her tender white hands slowly peeling off the thin flesh-colored stockings along her plump and round thighs.

Before going out, Zhou Tao looked at the chrysanthemum perfume that he often sprayed in the cupboard, hesitated for a moment, and then took the rose perfume and sprayed it carefully on his white wrist.

In the floor-length mirror.

The woman lifted her black and shiny long hair, wiped her white wrist on her snow-white neck twice, carried a small perfume bag, and went out with black leather high heels.

…………

11:00 am.

Xu Chen met Sister Tao, whom he had not seen for a long time, in front of the CCTV headquarters building.

Zhou Tao was wearing a conservative black standard suit, with a slender back as straight as a lotus branch, and her black and shiny hair was not tied up, but draped gently on her shoulders. The plain white shirt had no wrinkles, black pointed high heels, and a light mature woman's workplace outfit.

It must be said that Zhou Tao is a woman who pays great attention to her image, and she is very good at outlining her advantages.

"Ms. Zhou, thank you for coming to help me in your busy schedule. CCTV is too big. I am worried that I will get lost without Miss Zhou." Xu Chen saw Zhou Tao's deliberately indifferent face.

I thought it was funny, so I deliberately poked her.

Zhou Tao's eyebrows were tightly knitted.

She had a husband, and Xu Chen treated her like that, but she still came behind her husband's back.

Xu Chen deliberately called her Ms. Zhou to humiliate her, and he used to call her Sister Tao.

Zhou Tao was keenly aware that his mood was not right. What did Xu Chen have to do with her? He could call her whatever he wanted. Why was he so worried?

Xu Chen was willful, Zhou Tao took a deep breath and walked towards Xu Chen.

Her slender back was straight, her manners were elegant and dignified, and Xu Chen called her Ms. Zhou.

Zhou Tao smiled with his red lips, and said without thinking: "Mr. Xu, are you still worried that there is no girl to lead the way?"

Zhou Tao realized something was wrong as soon as he said it, and this was a bit of a taste.

"Mr. Xu, please come this way." Zhou Tao left a word, ignored Xu Chen, and walked straight to CCTV.

"Sister Tao, you are sad."

The CCTV headquarters building was crowded with people, and Xu Chen was very careful and walked quickly to Zhou Tao.

Zhou Tao changed her makeup and perfume.

"Sister Tao, you don't have to be so cautious. I told you my thoughts last time, and I won't bother you again."

Xu Chen loosened his fishing line.

Standing in front of Zhou Tao, he said seriously: "This time when Sister Qing Tao came, I just thought that Sister Tao works at CCTV. If I can show my face more in front of the director, it might help my career."

Zhou Tao stared at Xu Chen's sincere eyes. Xu Chen was talented, humorous, and young and promising.

Zhou Tao liked Xu Chen's unruly and domineering attitude.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Tao said softly: "Achen, I like your music. I am very happy that you can think of me."

Can it only be music? Can it only be my sister?

Xu Chen heard Zhou Tao's hidden meaning, and he said casually: "Sister Tao, if you get divorced one day, will you like me besides music?"

Xu Chen didn't wait for Zhou Tao to answer, and just pestered him.

Zhou Tao and Lao Yao have irreconcilable contradictions, and they have different choices for the future.

Xu Chen was diligent in throwing bait, not afraid that Sister Tao would not take the bait.

Zhou Tao's delicate eyebrows were twisted, and she thought of the quarrel with Lao Yao in the morning.

If Lao Yao insisted on having a child, the only choice she had was divorce. After the divorce, would she be willing to be captured by Xu Chen?

Zhou Tao asked herself, Xu Chen is talented, humorous, successful at a young age, and handsome...

Except for being fickle, there are almost no shortcomings.

Zhou Tao sighed lightly, and the dignified and elegant beauty host felt that she was a very vulgar woman for the first time.

She didn't want much, and Xu Chen just happened to give her all.

………………

Zhou Tao slashed the love between men and women with a knife. She was a very ambitious woman and would not be bound by feelings.

Xu Chen was able to get in touch with the director of CCTV, which was also her opportunity.

In front of the director's office.

Zhou Tao carefully arranged her suit and trousers, turned her head to look at Xu Chen, and the two of them talked. She didn't worry about Xu Chen's random thoughts, and stretched out her white and tender fingers to carefully arrange Xu Chen's collar.

After finishing, Zhou Tao smiled with his red lips: "Now you look like a good brother, Achen, don't scare me all the time."

Xu Chen straightened his back, Sister Tao is very good.

Knocking on the office door, Zhou Tao's broadcasting voice is very solid: "Director Yang, I am Zhou Tao, the host of Variety Show, Xu Chen wants to see you."

After a while.

The door was opened from the inside, Yang Weiguang's hair was slightly gray, but he was very energetic, and smiled kindly: "Comrade Xiao Xu, you are very popular, come to CCTV to see me, our business backbones will lead you."

"Hello Director Yang, I am Xu Chen." Xu Chen chuckled and said: "This is not my first time to CCTV, I am uneasy, Zhou Tao is my sister, I am here to visit Yang with my elders."

"Comrade Xiao Xu, please come in." Yang Weiguang is very kind.

I am a little confused today, I will change it tomorrow, if you are interested, you can take a look
