"Thank you, mother-in-law." Mu Shaoling did not refuse. This was the elder's blessing to the younger generation.
He accepted the red envelope on behalf of Nian Mu.
"Mother-in-law, there is a box of bird's nests in the bag. This is for Mr. Lin. Please send it to me when you come over." Mu Shaoling said. He didn't like to go around to pay New Year's greetings, but he couldn't help but feel this way, so he specially
Told Nian Mu to prepare.
In this way, when Zhou Qing goes over to pay New Year greetings, he can also bring gifts with him.
He also missed some social activities.
Zhou Qing nodded, smiled slightly and said, "You still have this heart."
"Xiaobai reminded me of this." Mu Shaoling said. When Nianmu was buying gifts, she thought of her grandparents who were related to her by blood, so she mentioned it to Mu Shaoling.
People can use being busy as an excuse to resist socializing, but their thoughts must come with the gifts.
"Did Xiaobai remind me?" Zhou Qing was a little surprised and said excitedly: "Did Xiaobai remember something?"
Recently, she has been in contact with Ruan Bai through text messages. Ruan Bai is as busy as ever. Her messages are sent today, but they often have to wait until the next day for a reply.
This is considered fast, sometimes it won’t even come back until the third day.
"No, she just said it when I mentioned preparing New Year's goods." Mu Shaoling lied, knowing that Zhou Qing would be excited when he heard Ruan Bai's name, so he had already thought of a way to deal with it before mentioning it.
Excuse.
Zhou Qing was a little disappointed, "She didn't remember..."
"Actually, after experiencing so much, it would be better for her not to remember it than to remember it," Mu Shaoling said.
He didn't feel much emotion when he said this, because his Xiaobai was beside him and he didn't have amnesia.
She still loves him and the child, so he doesn't have too many emotions.
Zhou Qing nodded and agreed with what he said. Seeing that it was lunch time, she did not pull Mu Shaoling to continue asking Ruan Bai. Instead, she stood up and said, "Okay, you guys sit down first and I'll prepare lunch."
At this moment, Taotao looked at Lin Wenzheng and asked, "Grandpa, can we go play with toys?"
"Of course, your grandma has added new toys to it, go ahead." Lin Wenzheng said cheerfully, his grandson is different from other children.
Other children at this age don't bother to play with toys, and basically just play games with their mobile phones.
But the three children, Mu Shaoling, prefer reading books and playing educational games.
Very worry-free.
"Grandpa and grandma are great!" Taotao clapped her hands happily, holding the hands of her brother and sister and starting to walk upstairs.
They came to pay New Year greetings and had no intention of listening to the conversations between adults, so they proposed to go upstairs to play games, but Mu Shaoling did not stop them.
Seeing the child's back disappearing down the stairs, Mu Shaoling withdrew his gaze.
"Shaoling, I have something to tell you. Go to my study." Lin Wenzheng said and stood up.
"Okay." Mu Shaoling stood up and went upstairs together into Lin Wenzheng's study.
After Lin Wenzheng closed the study door, he sat on the sofa. Because he knew that Mu Shaoling would bring his children to pay New Year greetings, there was also a pot of tea on the small coffee table in front of the sofa.
"Is it okay to drink tea?" Lin Wenzheng asked.
"Okay, I'll do it." Mu Shaoling waited for him to speak while pouring two cups of tea.
He handed one of the cups to Lin Wenzheng and said, "Father-in-law, drink tea."
"Thank you." Lin Wenzheng appreciated his knowledge and said, "I called you up because I want to talk to you about a few things."
"Say." Mu Shaoling waited for him to get into the topic.
"Why didn't Nianmu come?" Lin Wenzheng was most concerned about Nianmu's situation.
He has two daughters. Lin Ning is basically useless. He no longer has any thoughts on her. The only thing left is Nian Mu.
Even though she was kidnapped and disappeared for three years, she still cares about the two elders. This is why Lin Wenzheng cares about Nian Mu so much.
She has them as parents in her heart, so as a father, he will naturally care about his daughter.
"She felt that she had no position and was worried that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Mu Shaoling said.
"This girl is really..." Lin Wenzheng wanted to blame, but found that in the middle of the sentence, he couldn't say the rest of the blame.
Nian Mu's worries are not without reason.
In order to protect her, Zhou Qing still doesn't know Nian Mu's true identity. If she goes with Mu Shaoling, Zhou Qing will definitely become suspicious.
By doing this, she really avoided a lot of trouble.
"On New Year's Eve, we invited her to come with us to celebrate the New Year, but she also refused." There was a lot of frustration in Lin Wenzheng's voice.
As a father, what does it matter no matter how big his official position is?
He could only protect the citizens, but he could not protect his daughter.
Even in this matter, because of his special status, he could only wait for Mu Shaoling to investigate.
"Nian Mu doesn't want to cause trouble to anyone right now." Mu Shaoling explained on Nian Mu's behalf.
He also knew why she was like this.
The more memories you leave behind, the more reluctance you will leave behind.
The more reluctance a person has, the more vulnerable he will be to others.
He understands this very well.
If he hadn't offended Terror Island before, the one he loved most in his heart wouldn't have suffered such painful years.
So in the final analysis, it was him who harmed Nian Mu.
But even so, he will not let go easily.
His favorite must be protected by him.
"I just hope your people can get news soon and help her get out of that sea of suffering." Lin Wenzheng sighed.
Mu Shaoling nodded. There were many things he didn't tell Lin Wenzheng. After all, no one else could help with these matters.
"One more thing. Before the holidays, the suburban development matter has been decided. The government has decided to develop it. There is no designated enterprise. It needs to bid to obtain qualifications. It is estimated that there will be an announcement after the year, and a bidding meeting should be held at the end of March and April.
." Lin Wenzheng said.
Mu Shaoling did not show any surprise. After all, he had known about the suburban development for a long time.
I just didn't expect it to be decided so quickly.
Previous environmental protection agencies have been opposing it, saying that such development would damage the ecology.
This matter has been reported, but I didn’t expect the government to be able to convince the relevant agencies so quickly.
"This development must have special requirements." Mu Shaoling said.
Lin Wenzheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, giving him an admiring look, "Yes, there are special requirements. In order to allow those environmentalists to accept the development, this time there are great requirements for greening. Be prepared.
Without destroying the ecology there, the greening rate there should be even higher than before."
"Sure enough..." Mu Shaoling took a sip of tea.
"Why, do you think it's difficult?" Lin Wenzheng asked. He didn't think this small problem would trouble Mu Shaoling.
