Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 82 Almond Cookies
Sun Yu looked at Jiang You's expression and said, "Should we ask Taoist Qingyang to help?"
"It's okay. Tang Butian gave this matter to you and me, which means she thinks we can handle it. Taoist Qingyang is an outsider after all."
"That's right," Sun Yu thought for a moment and stood up, "If you don't have anything else to do here, I'll go back first."
"Go and get busy. I won't keep you here any longer."
Jiang You escorted Sun Yu out of the yard.
After watching Sun Yu walk away, he turned back to the store, picked up the snakeskin bag, walked to the camphor tree, opened the bag, grabbed a few handfuls of mud with his hands and sprinkled it around the camphor tree.
As he sprinkled the water, he kept muttering, "I pulled two of your leaves off a few days ago. I'll make up for it today. Tomorrow you'll work hard to grow into a big tree and attract tits. Got it?"
After spreading the soil, he tied the snakeskin bag again and walked to the pond. There were a few yellow grass leaves floating in the pond. He squatted down, fished out the leaves and washed his hands at the same time.
Boom boom boom.
He turned his head and saw Xu Zhihai standing at the gate of the yard, knocking on it with his fingers.
"My wife made some cupcakes this morning."
When Jiang You saw the plastic bag in Xu Zhihai's hand, he stood up, walked to Xu Zhihai, and took the bag from him while saying, "This is so embarrassing."
"There are also some almond cookies in there for your son."
"Thank you very much."
"Have you had breakfast?"
"We just finished eating. Would you like to sit in the store for a while, or in the greenhouse?"
The light golden sunlight slants down into the greenhouse, shining on the rows of succulents, making them full of vitality.
"The flower room."
"Okay, I'll move two chairs in."
Jiang You moved the soft chairs and small round table into the greenhouse and adjusted their positions so that they could get the sun.
She took the box to the kitchen, took out the almond biscuits and put them on a plate, brought it out and placed it on the round table, then made two more cups of tea.
After doing all this, he asked Xu Zhihai to sit down on the soft chair.
The sun falls on my body.
Xu Zhihai sat and looked at him, "Your life is really like a god. When do you think we should finish the remaining five games?"
"Let's do it after the Chinese New Year. I've been a bit busy lately." Jiang You took a bite of the almond cookie. "This is delicious, soft and fluffy. Next year I'll study how to use the oven and give it a try. By then I'll ask your wife for more advice."
"You are welcome to visit us anytime. Where is your son?" Xu Zhihai asked.
"He was playing games in the room. It was cold outside, and I was afraid he would get cold if he came out. It would be bad if he got sick," Jiang You complained to Xu Zhihai about Jiang Mo. "In winter, you have to wear a lot of clothes, which makes it difficult to move around. I didn't keep an eye on him, and he took off his coat. He was having fun, and I was so worried."
"As parents, we have to worry more," Xu Zhihai held the cup in his hand. "I pick up Jiajia from get off work every day. I'm afraid that Zhang Lin will come looking for me again." He paused, then asked tentatively, "I wonder how this matter is going now?"
“There has been some progress.”
"real?"
"Of course it's true."
"I am definitely relieved about you, but you also know that I won't be able to rest easy until this matter is completely resolved. I can't show it in front of Jia Jia and my wife. If I panic, they will panic even more."
"I know, I know. You are the backbone of the family." Jiang You took a bite of the biscuit and then drank a sip of black tea. "But you can't rush it."
Xu Zhihai sighed, "I know, too, but I don't know when these days will end."
A cold wind blew, the sun was blocked by clouds, and the light in the greenhouse became dim.
"If you want to solve it quickly..."
"Is there a way?"
"Do you agree to let Jiajia take some risks?" Jiang You asked.
Xu Zhihai's expression suddenly became serious, "What does this mean?"
"This organization is very cautious and has been operating in China for quite some time. We have not taken any action yet because we want to completely eradicate this organization from China," Jiang You touched another biscuit. "As for Jia Jia, she is a little special."
"What's special?"
"One is, she has never been in a relationship, right?"
"We did talk about it, when we were in junior high school..." Xu Zhihai saw Jiang You's suggestive look, "I'm not really sure about this, because Xiao Zhang and I are both quite open-minded."
"My friend talked to her while we were in the hot spring. Her thoughts were very clear. If she were an ordinary girl, she would have been so confused by Zhang Lin's tricks that she would have lost her mind."
"Your friend? Is she the owner of the bookstore on the street?"
Jiang You laughed, "Yes, yes, Sister Nan."
"It's not easy for her, raising her daughter alone. Her daughter is about to start junior high school, right?"
"I think I'll be in fifth grade next year, and my grades are pretty good."
"Jia Jia is my only daughter. I can't take risks with her." Xu Zhihai changed the subject.
"It's not that risky," Jiang You thought for a moment, "How about this, I give my son to her? That way you won't worry, right?"
"Ah?" Xu Zhihai didn't understand what Jiang You meant for a moment.
"Every move of their organization is now under our surveillance."
"That's good."
"If you agree, we can set up a trap here. I'm pretty sure we can finish it before the end of the year."
Xu Zhihai remained silent.
"Mr. Xu, let me tell you the truth. The methods used by these organizations are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang You turned his head and looked into Xu Zhihai's eyes. "Perhaps before you know it, your daughter is no longer your daughter."
Clouds drifted by.
The sunlight fell on my body and felt warm . Jiang You's voice was neither hurried nor slow and lazy.
Xu Zhihai felt cold all over.
"Of course, this is the worst and most extreme case, and the probability of it happening is very low," Jiang You turned his head and sat up a little straighter. "If it were someone else, I would never say this, and most people wouldn't understand. But the fact is that the higher the virtue, the higher the evil. The police are always running behind the criminals. If you want to take the initiative, it is impossible not to take any risks."
Xu Zhihai thought for a while, then he nodded, "I understand what you mean, I need to think about it and discuss it with my wife and Jiajia."
"Don't worry, I'm just mentioning it. No matter what, I've been watching this organization for so long, I will definitely not let them harm the people again."
Xu Zhihai became a little uneasy and chatted with Jiang You for a few more words, then left.
Jiang You stayed in the greenhouse basking in the sun until noon, taking bites of biscuits and sips of black tea. He did not return to the store until he had finished all the biscuits.
