It was getting dark.

Zhou Yang, who had a sad face, walked slowly on the path in the mountain residence garden with a gift box.

The gift box is not a particularly valuable thing, it is not worth a few dollars, it is a gift used by ordinary people to visit relatives.

Thinking of what Jiang Tianming said to him in his mind, if his Jiang family came forward, there would definitely be no problem in taking that piece of land, but if it was him Zhou Yang himself, would his father-in-law Mu Ming still save him more money?

Old man....hehe, what Zhou Yang thinks most in his mind is the word that cannot be refuted but feels very far away from him.

Unlike the first time he came to the Mu family, he had no distractions at that time, and he didn't think that he would have anything to do with the Mu family in the future, at most, it was a pure junior visiting the elders, even if he was facing the cynicism of others at that time, he could accept it calmly.

But this time, he came with a purpose, and Zhou Yang, who had never asked someone to do something, felt a little at a loss, and he didn't even think clearly about how to speak.

Perhaps there is more of a lack of heart in the disturbed state of mind?

Because of his relationship with Mu Xinyu's confirmed lovers, Mu Ming and Yang Lan didn't know at all.

However, because he needed to ask Mu Ming for help because of the matter of the welfare institute this time, the more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he was to take one more step forward.

At this moment, Zhou Yang found that his heart, which had been cultivated for half a year, was constantly beaten by the frenzy.

Zhou Yang was so irritable that he kept smashing the corners of his mouth.

"Huh, Xiaoyang!" Suddenly, a familiar surprise sound came from front of him, and Zhou Yang realized that he had unconsciously walked to the door of the Mu family.

"Ah, ah, Aunt Yang. Zhou Yang suddenly looked like a thief who had been caught, and for no reason, his heart tightened, and he looked up and shouted in a daze.

"Why don't you tell me when you come, hurry, come in, Lao Mu, Xinyu, let's see who's coming." Zhou Yang's arrival made Yang Lan very happy.

"I said that you kid, coming here is like going home, how can you buy things, uncles and aunts don't lack these. Yang Lan was babbling reproaches while pulling Zhou Yang into the house.

Yang Lan is a very kind person, she has wiped her tears for Zhou Yang in the past few years, even today, Zhou Yang is no longer the abandoned son who was driven out by the Zhou family, and even turned into a leader among the young people in Nanzhou, but in Yang Lan's eyes, the other party is still just the child she feels sorry for.

"Oh, Xiaoyang is here. Mu Ming, who had just come back from work and was stuck in the study, heard his wife's voice and came out to see Zhou Yang, but he was relatively calm, but the surprise gaze that was inadvertently revealed betrayed his true thoughts.

Looking back on the past, he felt the most embarrassed, and many times, he would blame himself for why he didn't believe Zhou Yang at the beginning, otherwise the relationship between the two might be better.

I can't blame him for thinking this way, as a person in the system, every day he faces ugly things like intrigue or deceit.

Officialdom can never be as peaceful as a soap opera, and under years of system training, it is inevitable to look at people with colored glasses.

"Uncle Mu. Seeing that he was a quasi-"old man", Zhou Yang took a deep breath, and if he came, he would be safe.

Mu Xinyu, who was still thinking about someone just now, heard the movement downstairs, and hurriedly walked downstairs with "dong dong dong", although now the two can meet every day or two, but Mu Xinyu, who has been influenced by the "Book of Songs" since childhood, now only remembers one sentence, "I don't see you for a day, such as March."

"Zhou Yang, you're here. The same sentence as his father Mu Ming, said in Mu Xinyu's mouth, but the meaning was different.

Mu Xinyu, who was more than pleasantly surprised, just wanted to get close to Zhou Yang, and suddenly realized that this was his own home, and hurriedly suppressed his excitement and added, "You sit down first, and I'll pour you tea." ”

"Hmm. Zhou Yang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Xiaoyang, is there something to do with me?" Mu Ming put down the matter in his hand, sat on the sofa with Zhou Yang, and asked casually with doubts, others only saw the scenery on Zhou Yang's surface, but he could better understand the other party's energy in Nanzhou at this time.

To put it mildly, Zhou Yang now doesn't need to take him, the director of the Old City Planning Bureau, in his eyes.

At this time, when you come to your own house and bring gifts, it is impossible to pay New Year's greetings in advance, and there must be demons when things go wrong.

"No, it's okay, just come and see you. Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, and this sentence almost blurted out, but how could his appearance of being forced to endure panic deceive Mu Ming, who had long been accustomed to all kinds of people on weekdays.

Since Zhou Yang didn't say anything, Mu Ming pretended to be confused and didn't ask anymore, but felt funny in his heart, where did this kid's usual temperament go.

Mu Xinyu poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yang and a cup for his father, and then sat next to the two.

In order not to be embarrassed in the atmosphere, Mu Ming chatted with Zhou Yang for a while, and Zhou Yang, who was still thinking about how to speak, couldn't wait to slap himself twice except for "um" and "oh".

Soon, Yang Lan's shouting to eat broke the strange atmosphere.

Four dishes and one soup, it looks delicate and delicious.

Mu Ming opened a bottle of some old wine, poured a glass for Zhou Yang under Yang Lan's half-stop and half-disgust, and poured a glass himself.

During the meal, Yang Lan and Mu Xinyu took turns to serve Zhou Yang vegetables, and Mu Ming was churning with vinegar.

A simple and warm meal.

It's just that Zhou Yang is still the same as when he first came, he didn't say a few words from beginning to end, and the food in the bowl almost reached the tip of his nose.

"Xiaoyang, listen to the heart, you got a perfect score in all subjects in the year-end exam this time?" Yang Lan said with a smile while serving Zhou Yang vegetables.

"Hmm..."Zhou Yang's mouth was stuffed with food, and he replied vaguely.

"Mom, Zhou Yang's full score in all subjects has caused a sensation in the middle schools of Nanzhou, especially his full score essay, I heard that many teachers plan to use it for teaching in private, and I can memorize it. ”

"Master Ziyun, his heart is like a holy book, he has a spirit, he is always good at reading, distinguishing between truth, goodness, hypocrisy and beauty..."Speaking of this, Mu Xinyu made a very exaggerated action, and really recited Zhou Yang's composition word for word, and his excited appearance seemed to be happier than when he got a full score.

In fact, Mu Xinyu's grades are also quite good, and he did not unexpectedly win the first place in the grade of Jianghai Middle School, but there is still a lot of gap compared with Zhou Yang's full score in all subjects.

Mu Ming took a sip and listened to his daughter's composition with Zhou Yang on his back, and was secretly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Zhou Yang to have such a high attainment in literature.

After the meal was eaten in a harmonious atmosphere, Zhou Yang still did not mention the matter of buying land, Mu Ming saw the anxiety in Zhou Yang's eyes more than once, and deliberately did not take the initiative to ask more.

He wanted to see how long Zhou Yang could last.

After the meal, several people sat around the coffee table, drank tea, watched TV, and Yang Lan handed Zhou Yang fruits from time to time.

A long time passed.

Until it was very late, Zhou Yang had not spoken, but Mu Ming was already yawning sleepily.

At this time, Yang Lan realized that Zhou Yang was a little strange today, and he didn't leave so late, could it be that something was wrong?

It's not that she doesn't want Zhou Yang to be here, she just thinks it's strange.

"Oh, okay, I said Xiaoyang, just say what you have to do, if you hold it like this, I feel sorry for you. Finally, Mu Ming couldn't help but ask for the second time, stood up and knocked on his somewhat sore back, he was really sleepy.

Yang Lan looked at her husband and Zhou Yang in surprise, and didn't understand what kind of dumb riddle they were playing.

"Uh..." Zhou Yang was stunned and embarrassed when Mu Ming suddenly said this, how could he not know that his appearance could not hide Mu Ming's observation.

"Don't say anything more, I'm going to sleep...."Seeing that Zhou Yang didn't say anything, Mu Ming turned around and glanced at Zhou Yang in a pretentious gesture.

"Ah, don't, Uncle Mu, in fact, I came to discuss something with you. Zhou Yang was in a hurry and said quickly.

"What are you discussing?" Mu Ming looked at Zhou Yang with a sleepy and suspicious look, thinking that with the other party's current ability, what else did he need to find himself.

"I want to buy the land in the north of the old city, which originally belonged to the state-owned steel market. Zhou Yang finished what he wanted to say in one breath, and he didn't even have a nice modifier.

"Buy land?" Mu Ming was stunned after hearing this, as the leader of the Old City Planning Bureau, he naturally knew what Zhou Yang was talking about.

The land was indeed as Zhou Yang said, originally belonging to a steel market built by a state-owned enterprise, and has been abandoned there since the relocation, but everyone knows that the old city is now in the secondary development stage, so the Land and Resources Bureau has temporarily left the place empty and has no intention of selling.

Another reason is that the place is special, the junction of the two cities, surrounded by mountains, like a blank piece of paper, whether it is public or private use There are many different schemes, no one can predict the future value of this land.

His planning bureau had tried to plan the area more than once, but in the end he decided to put it aside until he had a good plan.

"What are you buying there for?" Thinking of this, Mu Minghu looked at Zhou Yang suspiciously, planning to ask the other party for the reason for buying the land first, if Zhou Yang was speaking for others, he couldn't say that he was going to disappoint the other party.

"I set up a children's welfare home with Brother Jiang, and the documents have been approved, so there is a lack of a place, I have seen a lot of land, and I still think it is better to put it in the old city. Zhou Yang did not hide the plan of the welfare institute, and said truthfully to Mu Ming.

"What?welfare institute?" Now it's not just Mu Ming, even Yang Lan can't sit still, they are not ordinary people, of course they know what Zhou Yang's plan means.

Mu Ming, who had seen many young talents in Nanzhou, suddenly found that those so-called pride of the sky were not worth mentioning in front of Zhou Yang at this moment.

Whoever has such courage, who has such good deeds!

Fearless, this is the real fearlessness!

He didn't doubt the credibility of Zhou Yang's words at all, not to mention Jiang Tianming's participation.

Subsequently, except for Mu Xinyu, who knew the situation in advance, the husband and wife almost listened to Zhou Yang's entire welfare home plan in shock.

Mu Xinyu was on the side, and the gaze that looked at Zhou Yang in front of his family for the first time did not hide his admiration, but Mu Ming and his wife, who were in deep shock, did not notice the strangeness of their daughter.

Unconsciously, half an hour passed, and when Zhou Yang briefly finished explaining the plan, Mu Ming exhaled a long breath, and hurriedly picked up the teacup and pressed the dry mouth after the shock.

"So I want to ask Uncle Mu for help and take that piece of land as soon as possible. Zhou Yang said the last sentence, and he also let out a long breath, and instantly felt relaxed.

Mu Ming just held the teacup in his hand, looking at Zhou Yang's gaze as complex and complicated as he could, and at the same time quickly thinking about what the other party said.

With the Jiang family behind him, Mu Ming naturally understood that even if he didn't pass through himself, the other party could still buy the land, but since it was Zhou Yang who spoke to him, the meaning was very different.

Whether it is based on the guilt he felt for Zhou Yang in the past years or the significance of Zhou Yang's matter itself, Mu Ming has no reason to refuse, and he has to do his best to help with this!

Mu Ming kept thinking about the procedures that needed to be passed in this matter, where he needed to use favors, and where he needed to find a bigger leader.....

"You are talking, if you dare not agree, I will help Xiaoyang find Lao Xu for help. Seeing that Mu Ming didn't speak for a long time, Yang Lan pushed her husband, and there was eagerness in her tone.

After listening to Zhou Yang's plan, Yang Lan had mixed feelings in her heart, the old Xu in her mouth was Xu Yonghua, the secretary of the district party committee in charge of the old city of Nanzhou City, and the relationship between the two families was quite good.

"What are you anxious about, I will definitely help with this matter, I am thinking about how to save investment for Xiaoyang to the greatest extent!" Mu Ming glanced at his mother-in-law angrily, his idea was really said by Jiang Tianming, and he was already thinking about saving money for Zhou Yang after agreeing.

"Hmph, that's like a word. Yang Lan hummed and winked at Zhou Yang, but that unshirkable appearance made Zhou Yang embarrassed and laughed.

"Okay, I probably have a score in my heart about this, you wait for my call, there will be news in a day or two without accident, and I will try to help you get it done before the year." After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Ming, who basically had a plan, patted the table and gave Zhou Yang an answer.

In Jiang Tianming's words, there must be no problem in taking the land, and what is in front of Mu Ming is nothing more than how to help Zhou Yang save money.

The main reason is that the time is too tight, and there are only three or four days left before the Chinese New Year.

Zhou Yang, who received an affirmative answer, fell a big stone in his heart, and the matter was finally not messed up by himself, which was even more tortured than fighting with others.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Uncle Mu, I'll go back. Zhou Yang, who felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, got up and said goodbye to Mu Ming's family.

When Yang Lan said, "Either I'll stay here tonight", Zhou Yang hurriedly replied, almost all of them slipped when they went out, and Mu Xinyu's silver bell-like laughter could be vaguely heard behind.

That night, Zhou Yang did not return to the ancestral house of the Zhou family, nor did he return to the mountain villa, it was rare for him to be pure and clean, and he simply came to the top of Laolong Mountain.

Under the moonlight, Zhou Yang began to practice the Fa over and over again, and cultivation was like sailing against the current, and if he didn't advance, he would retreat.

Although he could now be said to have completed all the things he wanted to do at the beginning of his cultivation, he still refused to relax his cultivation.

He is a trustworthy person, and he knows that everything he can have now is inseparable from the promise he made to Ah Monster at the beginning.

After a night of practice and recovery, when the first rays of sunlight on the horizon shone on Laolong Mountain, Zhou Yang, who was full of harvest, walked down the mountain.
