The noodle shop on South Street is now being renovated, and Lin Moji got that in September next year, the store will be sold, and the money will be invested in the construction of welfare housing. So Lin Mo instructed Li Lan to gradually acquire the surrounding residential properties, and he was ambitious to build a headquarters building on the original site, of course, even if this was done, it would not be until five years later.

The second floor was renovated and turned into an office, and as soon as Lin Mo pushed open the door, he saw his cousin Li Lan talking to a young man.

"Huh! It's not a neighbor, is it the object of Sister Li Lan? Lin Mo's heart moved, and he greeted as usual.

"Sister Li Lan, are you busy?"

After Li Lan heard Lin Mo's voice, she turned her head like a frightened rabbit, and was relieved when she saw that it was Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo is here, you find a place to sit first, and I'll talk about something here." As she spoke, she motioned with her eyes for the man to go out and speak.

"That's not right!" Lin Mo was suspicious, and he looked at the young man quietly.

Handsome facial features, fair skin, quite popular curly hair, a floral shirt on the upper body, a pair of bell bottoms that can mop the floor, and the three-joint leather shoes under the feet are polished.

"It's him!" Lin Mo's pupils shrank suddenly, and his fists turned white.

Xu Song!

In the eighty-first year of his previous life, my cousin met Xu Song, who was handsome and could play, during a dance, and finally planted him all his life, and often went home with scars to cry, but unfortunately, she had broken everyone's hearts at that time. It's eighty-two years now, and Lin Mo thinks that this matter is no longer worth worrying about, who knows... How many generations of enemies have these two people befriended? They can still get together.

"Sister Li Lan, ...... is he?" Lin Mo calmed down, and he tested the current relationship between the two.

Xu Song pretended not to see Li Lan's eyes, he stepped forward and wanted to touch Lin Mo's head, but unfortunately Lin Mo's head was crooked, and his hand was stretched out in the air awkwardly.

However, the thickness of this person's face made Lin Mo breathtaking, and he said without changing his face: "Lan Lan, is this your brother?" As he spoke, he walked to Li Lan's side and stuck to her affectionately, the smile on his face remained unchanged.

Under Lin Mo's cold eyes, Li Lan was a little at a loss, she wanted to avoid Xu Song, but she was afraid that he would be angry, so she said hesitantly: "This is me... Cousin... Lin Mo. ”

Turning her head, her eyes were begging, as if her beloved thing was about to change hands: "Lin Mo,... He is... He is..."

"I'm your cousin's object, cousin, what do you want to eat? We've got it all here. Xu Song showed a smile, and Li Lan on the side was so drunk that she sat opposite Lin Mo without hesitation.

"Where are we?" A chill flashed in Lin Mo's eyes, when did the neighborhood have your share?

Lin Mo looked at the two of them expressionlessly, Xu Song was rubbing Li Lan's little hand, his eyes were full of affection, and Li Lan was also looking at him with fascination, showing affection as if no one was around.

Lin Mo felt a chill in his heart, when he contracted the noodle restaurant, because his aunt and uncle were both public officials, he was somewhat evasive, so he used his cousin's name to sign the agreement between the two families, did his cousin even tell him this?

"Xu Song, a child of the carton factory, is twenty-one years old this year." Lin Mo said faintly.

Both Li Lan and Xu Song's faces showed a hint of panic, especially Xu Song, whose eyes rolled uneasily.

"Likes to dance, drink, fight in groups... The favorite is... Seduce women! ”

"Smack!" In a panic, Xu Song knocked over the inkwell on the table, and the climax ink meandered like blue seawater, and the table was in a mess.

"I'm not wrong! Xu Song. Lin Mo's current height is only less than one meter and four, but he forced Xu Song to take a few steps back.

Xu Song immediately regained his composure, he didn't look at Lin Mo, and said aggrievedly to Li Lan: "Lan Lan, your cousin is so young, who instigated him to say these things?" Don't you trust me? ”

What a love master! Lin Mo almost applauded him, saying that Lin Mo was small, which meant that someone was secretly investigating him, saying that it was instigation, and the subtext was that someone was slandering him, and finally suspected that it was Li Lan's distrust, okay! It's offensive to defend!

"You go back first, I... I'll just talk to Lin Mo. ”

Li Lan took Xu Song's hand and walked out of the office, her steps in a hurry.

"You... Trust me...... Marriage ......"

"Don't say it... At night...... Old place ......"

The voice gradually became inaudible, and then Li Lan came in, she cleaned up the things on the table first, but she kept her head down the whole time, not meeting Lin Mo's eyes.

"Do you know his shortcomings?" Lin Mo walked in front of her, he couldn't believe that Li Lan would still be infatuated with Xu Song, could it be that it was for love?

"Did you know that he has a short temper and likes to hit people? Do you know how many girlfriends he has? ”

"You... Do you know that aunts and uncles will never agree? ”

Lin Mo's words hit Li Lan's heart like a hammer, and her eyes were a little confused, but then they turned firm.

"Lin Mo, Xu Songren is very good, have you heard others say bad things about him?"

Li Lan continued to say in an intoxicated voice: "He is very capable, he has helped me come up with a few ideas, and now he has the credit for the business in the neighborhood!" ”

Lin Mo was angry when he heard this, he still had to rely on this Xu Song for this neighborhood fast food? Knowing that a woman in love had no reason to speak, he turned and walked out of the office.

Ma Tianlu's life is very leisurely now, and he doesn't need to worry about family affairs, so he goes out every day to play bridge, or listen to music, although there is no son to inherit the lineage, but people in the alley envy his old age.

"Our hometown, in the field of hope..."

The weather began to warm up in May, and Lin Mo's tape recorder was placed on the table in the room, and Ma Tianlu was listening to songs on the recliner outside the door, drowsy.

"Grandpa."

Ma Tianlu is a spirit, two grandsons, Li Jun, who is like a monkey, always rushes into the house with a quick scream, so who is this? Lin Mo?

As soon as Ma Tianlu opened his eyes, it was really Lin Mo, looking at Lin Mo's face a little solemn, he sat up straight.

"Lin Mo, what's wrong?"

Lin Mo was a little hesitant, but thinking about the ending of his cousin in his previous life, he still said it.

"Grandpa, Sister Li Lan... Got to know a bastard, as if he was dealing with someone. ”

Xu Song in his previous life was aiming at the position of his uncle Li Qixing to get along with Li Lan, and Lin Mo, who was a second-in-class person, didn't mind speculating on outsiders with the greatest malice, after all, neighborhood fast food was like a gold ingot, which would inevitably attract some coveters. Working hard in the shopping mall in his previous life gave Lin Mo a pair of eyes that could see people, and the greed hidden in Xu Song's eyes in the office couldn't hide from him.

"Grandpa, that's... People are not good people, I am afraid that he has both wealth and wealth......"

Doesn't Ima's experience know these twists and turns? He went in and turned off the tape recorder and beckoned Lin Mo in.

"Lin Mo, grandpa believes in you, you tell everything as it is." Ma Tianlu is not a stupid person, if it weren't for Lin Mo's sudden rise, the two daughters' families would not be as wealthy as they are now, he is confident that his vision will not look at the wrong person, and the second son-in-law's family will use any good things for the old couple first, and the restaurant will get better and better in the past few years, so Lin Mo's worries must have his reason, and he can't be treated as an ordinary child.

Lin Mo immediately told Xu Song's situation without diminishing, and informed Ma Tianlu of his worries about Li Lan and the neighborhood without reservation, and then waited for the patriarch to decide, he had already made up his mind that if Li Lan was still as obsessed with his previous life, then he would rather start the stove again and give up the neighborhood fast food.

"That's true!" Ma Tianlu knows Li Lan's character - stubborn and rebellious, he thought that he would get better after going out to exercise for a few years, it seems that he is still wishful thinking!

"I know, when her dad comes back, I'll let him investigate, and his daughter will let him discipline him!"

Looking at the sadness on Ma Tianlu's face, Lin Mo felt a little guilty, but now that he said it, there was still a chance to redeem it, if it really got to that point... The kind of water in the previous life is hard to recover! But Li Lan in this life doesn't know if she can still persevere to the end like in her previous life.

Lin Mo returned home in a daze, and did not respond to Ichiro's warm welcome, but just smiled at his parents and went back to the house, and the two children behind him were yelling at the eldest brother to ignore people.

"This kid didn't even eat dinner?" After Ma Xiu finished speaking, he gave Lin Dezhong a look, which meant that this is your job, Lin Dezhong got up and went to Lin Mo's house.

Lin Mo was lying on the bed and looking at the roof distractedly, but he was thinking about the unchangeable fate in his heart, he sighed, but found Lin Dezhong sitting on the chair next to the bed.

"Dad, you don't say a word when you come in." Lin Mo hurriedly got up and sat down.

Seeing that his son, who had always been cheerful, was a little depressed, Lin Dezhong immediately turned into a confidant father, he sat on the edge of the bed, put his right hand around his son's shoulder and said, "Is it okay to talk to your father about something?" Dad is not the kind of authoritarian parent, let's respond to the chairman's call, know everything, and say that the one who says is not guilty! ”

Lin Mo leaned on his father's shoulder a little weakly, he was worried that these were a dream in front of him, and fate would take back everything he had at any time.

"Dad, do you think there is anyone in this world who lives again?"

"Poof!" As a staunch materialist, Lin Dezhong couldn't help laughing, but then he thought of his son's self-esteem, and he thought about his answer.

"Lin Mo, this person! From birth to death, this is the law of nature, you see how many emperors in the history of our country have pursued immortality, but they are all turned into a pile of loess in the end, you can rest assured, Dad and Mom always have to see you get married, give birth to children before saying goodbye to this world. ”

Lin Dezhong thought that Lin Mo was suddenly touched, and he had doubts about this world and life, and then he had troubles similar to that of young Werther, so he used rational words to solve his doubts.

"Dad..." Lin Mo was like a child at this time, he blamed his father's perfunctory and refused to give up.

"Oh! Dad was wrong. ”

With the expansion of Lin Mo's career, Lin Dezhong became less and less dependent on his parents as a normal child.

"Son, no matter what you do, you only need to remember one thing." Lin Dezhong's face showed a hint of warmth, and his big hand stroked Lin Mo's head.

"In this life, poor parents only want to give you the best."

"Daddy doesn't care where you can go in the future, but! Dad is always watching you, no matter what you do, Dad and Mom will always be behind you. ”

Lin Dezhong said and took Lin Mo in his arms, his heart was full of relief, he was proud and proud of his son.
