"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 instead of Nianmu.
"Mother-in-law, there is a box of bird's nest in the bag. This is for Mr. Lin. Please send it to me when you pass by." Mu Shaoling said. Tell Nianmu to prepare.
In this way, when Zhou Qing went to pay New Year's greetings, he could also bring the gifts over by the way.
He also had less entertainment.
Zhou Qing nodded and said with a slight smile, "You still have the heart."
"Xiaobai reminded me of this." Mu Shaoling said, when Nianmu was buying gifts, he thought of her grandparents who were related by blood, so he mentioned it to Mu Shaoling.
People can use busyness as an excuse to resist entertainment, but their hearts must come with gifts.
"Did Xiaobai remind you?" Zhou Qing was a little surprised, and said excitedly, "Did Xiaobai remember something?"
Recently, she contacted Ruan Bai through texts. Ruan Bai was as busy as ever. Her message was sent today, and she often had to wait until the next day for a reply.
This is considered fast, and sometimes it will not even reply until the third day.
"No, it's just that when she mentioned preparing for the new year's goods, she said something." Mu Shaoling lied, knowing that Zhou Qing would definitely be excited when he heard Ruan Bai's name, so he planned to deal with it before mentioning it. Excuse.
Zhou Qing was a little disappointed, "She didn't remember..."
"Actually, after going through so much, she didn't think about it, it's better than thinking about it." Mu Shaoling said.
When he said this, he didn't feel much emotion, because his Xiaobai was by his side, and he didn't lose his memory.
He still loves him and the child, so he doesn't have much emotion.
Zhou Qing nodded and agreed with his words. Seeing that it was time for lunch, she didn't pull Mu Shaoling to continue asking Ruan Bai, but stood up, "Okay, you guys sit down first, 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, so go." 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 play games with their mobile phones.
But Mu Shaoling and the three children prefer to read books and play puzzle games.
It's very worry-free.
"Grandpa and grandma are great!" Taotao clapped her hands happily, and was about to go upstairs holding the hands of her brothers and sisters.
They came to pay New Year's greetings, and they didn't have the heart to listen to the adults' conversations, so they proposed to go upstairs to play games, but Mu Shaoling didn't stop them.
Seeing the child's back disappearing down the stairs, Mu Shaoling looked away.
"Shaoling, I have something to tell you, go to my study." Lin Wenzheng said, standing up.
"Okay." Mu Shaoling stood up, and went upstairs together into Lin Wenzheng's study.
After Lin Wenzheng closed the door of the study, he sat on the sofa. Because he knew that Mu Shaoling would bring the child to pay New Year's greetings, there was also a pot of tea on the small tea table in front of the sofa.
"Can I drink tea?" Lin Wenzheng asked.
"Okay, I'll do it." Mu Shaoling waited for him to speak, and poured two cups of tea at the same time.
He handed one of the cups to Lin Wenzheng, "Father-in-law drinks tea."
"Thank you." Lin Wenzheng appreciated his wit, so he said, "I called you up because I want to talk about a few things."
"Tell me." Mu Shaoling waited for him to enter the topic.
"Why didn't Nianmu come?" Lin Wenzheng was most concerned about Nianmu's situation.
He has two daughters, Lin Ning is basically abolished, he doesn't have any more thoughts on her, the rest is only Nian Mu.
Even though she was kidnapped and disappeared for three years, she still cares about the two elders, which is why Lin Wenzheng cares so much about Nianmu.
She has their 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 misunderstanding." Mu Shaoling said.
"This girl, it's really..." Lin Wenzheng wanted to blame, but found that he couldn't say the rest of the blame in the middle of the sentence.
Nian Mu's worries are not unreasonable.
In order to protect her, Zhou Qing didn't know Nian Mu's true identity until now. If she went with Mu Shaoling, Zhou Qing would definitely be suspicious.
By doing so, she did avoid a lot of trouble.
"On New Year's Eve, we invited her to come over for the New Year's Eve, but she also refused." There was a lot of frustration in Lin Wenzheng's voice.
As a father, so what if he is a big official?
He can only protect the citizens, but he can't protect his daughter.
Even in this matter, because of his special status, he could only wait for Mu Shaoling to investigate.
"Nianmu doesn't want to cause trouble to anyone right now." Mu Shaoling explained for Nianmu.
He also knew why she was like this.
The more you leave too many memories, the more you will leave behind.
A person, if he has more reluctance, the more he can be caught by others.
He has a deep understanding of this.
If he hadn't offended Terror Island before, the favorite in his heart would not have suffered such painful years.
So in the final analysis, he was the one who harmed Nianmu.
But even so, he will not let go easily.
His favorite must be guarded by him.
"I just hope that your people can get news soon and help her get out of that sea of suffering." Lin Wenzheng sighed.
Mu Shaoling nodded. He didn't tell Lin Wenzheng about many things. After all, no one else could help with these things.
"There is one more thing. Before the holiday, the development of the suburbs has been decided. The government decided to develop, and there is no designated enterprise. It needs to bid to obtain qualifications. It is estimated that a notice will be issued in the next year, and the bidding meeting should be held in late March and April. .” Lin Wenzheng said.
Mu Shaoling didn't show a surprised expression, after all, he already knew about the development of the suburbs.
I just didn't expect it to be decided so quickly.
The previous environmental protection agency has always opposed it, saying that such development will destroy the ecology.
This incident has already been reported, and it was unexpected that the government would be able to convince the relevant agencies so quickly.
"There must be special requirements for this development," Mu Shaoling said.
Lin Wenzheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and gave him a look of admiration, "Yes, there are special requirements. In order to let those environmentalists accept the development, this time the requirements for greening are very high. You should be prepared. Without destroying the ecology over there, the greening rate over there should be higher than before.”
"Sure enough..." Mu Shaoling took a sip of tea.
"Why, do you find it difficult?" Lin Wenzheng asked, but he didn't think such a small problem would bother Mu Shaoling.
