When he heard what his mother said on the phone, his first reaction was to wonder how a busy man like Xu Mo had time to come to Steel City.

The second reaction was that it was magical. The two people who were once at odds could one day live in peace.

He found it incredible that they sat at the same dining table last time, and now Xu Mo actually came directly to his house.

"I know, go back right away."

Zhang Mingyang didn't drive when he went out today, so it only took ten minutes to walk from the Internet cafe to his home.

A big boss like Xu Mo usually doesn't go out alone. Downstairs in the community, he saw that in addition to Xu Mo's car, there were two cars parked nearby.

The two cars have the same brand, and there are no decorations in the car. They look very businesslike at first glance.

Seeing these cars, Zhang Mingyang could be sure that Xu Mo was definitely not here to see his daughter. He must have other things to do in Steel City.

Could it be related to the water park? Zhang Mingyang guessed in his heart.

When they got home, Xu Mo and Zhang Guowei were sitting in the living room drinking tea. Zhang Mingyang changed his shoes and greeted them warmly.

He looked around and saw that except for the two of them, there was no one else in the living room.

Zhang Mingyang walked to the tea table, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked tentatively: "Uncle Xu, did you come here alone?"

"A lot of people came here. They went out to eat. I just took this opportunity to come over and take a look." Xu Mo said frankly: "You are also the boss. You should know that when you are here, your subordinates cannot let go."

He didn't know what Xu Mo was like outside, but he was always kind when he got along with them, and occasionally made a little joke.

After knowing that Xu Mo came here for work, he didn't ask anything else, but sat down and chatted with the two of them.

As a result, the two men got together and talked about the recent news on TV and national events. They never mentioned the water park.

If Xu Mo didn't say anything, he couldn't take the initiative to ask.

However, during the conversation, Xu Mo mentioned his recent investment and praised Zhang Mingyang's Qing Lian as his most successful investment project last year.

Among the various projects, water parks are not included.

For projects that could attract Zhao's Industrial to actively contract, Mocheng Real Estate did not even take a share of the pie.

"Uncle Xu, thank you. Without your initial investment, Qinglian might not be as successful as it is today."

Of course Zhang Mingyang knew that Xu Mo later made a lot of money from him, and Qing Lian was not successful because of this investment.

But the help is real, and the efforts to save face must be done well.

The few of them chatted for a while. When Zhang Mingyang thought that the water park would not be mentioned, Zhang Guowei took the initiative and asked: "I recently heard that the authorities want to plan a water park. Don't we have enough places to eat, drink and have fun along the river?"

Why do we still need to build it?”

He asked inadvertently, but those who were interested had already pricked up their ears.

"Xiaowei, you are quite well informed. There are policies from above, saying that the tourism industry will be strongly supported and there will be a lot of subsidies. Unfortunately, your brother-in-law and I have no one above, so we haven't received anything." Xu Mo's tone was full of regret.

Mocheng Real Estate can develop on such a large scale because it is a large taxpayer in Linjiang. If Xu Mo didn't know a few people there, Zhang Mingyang would definitely not believe it.

Something happened here, maybe Zhao's industrial backstage was tougher, or maybe Xu Mo gave up voluntarily for some reason.

In short, Mocheng Real Estate did not participate in this incident.

Zhang Mingyang is more inclined to think that Xu Mo gave up on his own initiative, after all, the water park was not built later.

"I have a younger brother who came to me to borrow money last night and said he wanted to participate in this project. I didn't think it was safe, so I didn't lend it to him," Zhang Guowei explained.

Xu Mo picked up the tea cup, blew it to cool down and sipped the tea. His eyes were lowered and he didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

"It's right not to borrow money. Xiaowei, you are in the car dealer business, so it's best not to cross the border." After thinking for a moment, Xu Mo said.

This sentence seemed not to mention anything related to the project, but it had a different flavor to Zhang Mingyang's ears.

To quote a future comedian: The water is too deep here and you can’t grasp it.

He was now completely sure that Xu Mo had discovered something that Zhao Industry had not discovered, so he voluntarily gave up this opportunity.

"Understood, I listen to you and don't borrow money. Besides, I'm not as energetic as you, brother-in-law. I'm older, so I'll be very satisfied if I can maintain my three-thirds of an acre of land."

"Xiaowei, you are too modest. Don't you still have your son? He will have a bright future."

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings..."

The three of them chatted for a while, then Yan Hui cooked the meal and asked them to wash their hands and eat.

Zhang Mingyang didn't see Xu Linyou from the moment he entered the door, and the little girl didn't appear until he was eating.

On the surface, the elder sister seems to have reconciled with her father, but the younger sister still seems to be afraid of Xu Mo.

I remember the day I met Xu Linyou for the first time, Lin Jingxi’s relatives rushed to take the little girl home.

Zhang Mingyang still can't tell whether it was Xu Mo's method to force his sister to settle their differences, or whether he really regarded Xu Linyou as a burden and wanted to give up on her.

But the reason is no longer important, things have happened, and the final result is that Xu Lin Youzhen was really hurt.

At the dinner table, two men exchanged glasses.

Zhang Mingyang usually doesn't drink when his father drinks, and it's the same tonight.

He sat at the dinner table and ate silently, occasionally interjecting a word.

Yan Hui sat near the kitchen and said nothing except asking the two sisters to eat more.

Xu Duanran and Xu Linyou remained silent.

Some relationships seem to have been repaired, but the grudge left behind is like a thorn in the heart forever.

The child ate very quickly. After Xu Linyou finished eating, Zhang Mingyang sneaked into the next door house on the pretext of playing with Youyou. After a while, Xu Duanran also ran over.

While he was not at home, Yan Hui had already organized and put together the things that the eldest lady was going to move away after the New Year.

All the clothes in the closet were taken out and neatly stacked downstairs.

There were several unopened cartons lying next to them. It seemed that they had just been sorted and not packed yet.

Zhang Mingyang sat next to the sofa and immediately saw the high school uniform on top.

The school uniforms of Gangcheng No. 1 Middle School are in the style of sportswear, with dark blue as the base. They are often jokingly called labor reform uniforms by the students of No. 1 Middle School.

"You still want to take such an ugly school uniform to Linjiang?" Zhang Mingyang unfolded the folded school uniform, held it in front of Xu Duanran and compared it, as if he was back in high school.

He missed high school very much, but if he were asked to go back to high school, he would definitely not want to do it.

Zhang Mingyang was very lucky. Fortunately, he was not reborn until he was in high school. Otherwise, it would have been fatal if he had been reborn for another three years.

Xu Duanran took the school uniform, put it on top and folded it again: "I have kept the uniforms from elementary school to high school."

Zhang Mingyang didn't understand the eldest lady's nostalgic behavior, but he didn't say anything.

Xu Linyou also seemed to be very interested in the school uniforms of their high schools. She glanced at the uniforms, then ran to Zhang Mingyang, held his hand and asked: "Brother-in-law, can you take me to your high school to have a look?"

Want to know what high school is like."

Zhang Mingyang lowered his head and used his other hand as a paw to scare Xu Linyou: "High school is very scary. Do you really want to go see it?"

Xu Linyou didn't speak, he just opened his big eyes and looked at him seriously.

Zhang Mingyang was defeated and compromised: "It just so happens that your sister has a school uniform. I will send you to school and see if your sister can bring you in while wearing a school uniform."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Duanran suddenly jumped in front of him holding a piece of school uniform, imitating his actions just now, and compared it in front of him.

"This is your school uniform!" The eldest lady saw that it was just right and stuffed it directly into Zhang Mingyang's arms.

"How come you even have my school uniform!" he asked in surprise.

After graduation, he didn't know where to throw his school uniform, but he didn't expect it to be at Xu Duanran's place.

The eldest lady did not answer his question directly. She put on her school uniform first and showed a bright smile on her face: "Let's go together!"

You two sisters have made an appointment!

...

Soon, a very strange scene occurred downstairs.

A man and a woman wearing high school uniforms and a little girl got into a black car, and the boy sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

This is a combination that the traffic police will definitely question if they see it. It looks like a minor driving without a license.

Zhang Mingyang was still looking forward to meeting the traffic police for verification.

In this way, when the other party asks him, he can pretend that he is really a high school student and say directly to them: "What? I have never seen an old senior who repeated a grade drive to study in the evening!"

Then he drove away admiring their surprised looks.

Unfortunately, he had a smooth journey and didn't encounter anything. There wasn't even a traffic jam in front of the school.

He found a place to park the car and looked at the time.

At this time, only senior high school students should be studying in the school in the evening.

He still remembers that in his senior year of high school, he was still in class until the day before New Year's Eve.

Later, the government cracked down on make-up classes, and I heard that not only did high school students get a full Sunday, but their senior year no longer had to attend classes until New Year's Eve.

"We'll see if Lao Tian is here later. If he is here, we can discuss going in directly. If other teachers are on duty, I will say that we are here for evening self-study. My parents have something to do tonight and let me see my sister." Zhang Mingyang warned.

The Lao Tian he mentioned was the security guard of their school. He was very nice and easy to talk to. When he was in high school, he got to know Zhang Mingyang through just a few packs of cigarettes.
