A few people sat down in the living room, Qiao Pengju arranged for the nanny to prepare more dishes, in fact, he never regarded Zhang Yang as a friend who could be put to heart, but after a long circle at home, when he saw an ordinary friend like Zhang Yang, he felt hot in his heart, and finally found someone who could talk.

Qiao Zhenliang went to change clothes, Qiao Lao beckoned Zhang Yang to sit down on the sofa, and asked Zhang Yang about the purpose of coming to the capital this time, Zhang Yang said it briefly, and even said that he went to the Ministry of Agriculture to find Qiao Zhenliang, Qiao Lao said: "Now all over the country, a swarm of people are building development zones, I also think it is not a good thing, the purpose of establishing development zones is to promote the local economy, establish a model of local reform, but you can't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons, in order to build a development zone and keep enclosing land, so that farmers lose the land they rely on for survival, This is not a good thing, China is a big agricultural country, agriculture is the foundation of the country, since ancient times, we have a saying that the people take food as the sky. ”

Qiao Pengju said: "In fact, I think there is nothing wrong with developing industry, how much harvest is the same land farming, but how much value can be created by enterprises?" Nowadays, everything pays attention to an input-output ratio, and it is normal for local governments to develop industries on a large scale and build development zones in order to improve the speed of economic development. ”

Qiao Lao said: "What do you know? You can't see that because of the continuous expansion of cities, agricultural land is decreasing year by year, while our population is increasing, and we are using less and less land to feed more and more people, and this pressure will continue to increase with the development of the times. ”

Qiao Pengju was still a little unconvinced: "But now that it is planted scientifically, the output value of the same acre of land has increased a lot compared with the past." ”

Qiao Lao said: "People who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, and they must distinguish which is more important than the other." ”

Qiao Zhenliang changed his clothes and came out, and said with a smile: "Dad, what are you talking about?" So serious? ”

Qiao Lao said: "Let's talk about the development zone." ”

Qiao Zhenliang glanced at Zhang Yang, knowing that Zhang Yang told the old man about today's matter, he sat down beside his father and said with a smile: "In fact, our Ministry of Agriculture has been studying this issue recently, urban development is the general trend, but the interests of farmers cannot be harmed because of urban development." ”

Qiao Lao said: "As the Minister of Agriculture, you have to deal with this problem well, Zhang Yang's proposal is very good, like this kind of development zone that harms the interests of the people and does not create much value, it is better to close it as soon as possible, there is no meaning in existing." ”

Qiao Zhenliang nodded, but did not speak.

At this time, Shi Wei's family also came over, and Qiao Lao said to his daughter Qiao Zhenhong: "If you want to come over, you don't have to call in advance, so you can be prepared." ”

Qiao Zhenhong smiled: "Dad, do I still need to call when I get to my house?" You're not going there anyway! ”

Shi Jichang called his dad with a smile, and nodded with Qiao Zhenliang: "Big brother is off work!" Finally, his eyes came to Zhang Yang's body: "When did Zhang Yang come?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "It didn't take long to arrive. As he spoke, he looked at Shi Wei, who smiled at him, and this time he was actually much kinder to him.

There was still a period of time before eating, Qiao Pengju invited Zhang Yang to his room to have a look, in fact, he had something to ask Zhang Yang alone, Qiao Pengju had a pimple in his heart all along, he didn't know what happened at home during this time? Why did my mother suddenly choose to become a monk, and my sister seemed to see through the dust.

Qiao Peng said: "Zhang Yang, do you know why Mengyuan has such a big estrangement with her family? ”

Zhang Yang said: "You shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing." ”

Qiao Pengju said: "She has always regarded you as her best friend, and there are some things she refuses to tell her family, and she may not be willing to tell you." Qiao Pengju is not an ordinary person, he can see the inexplicable relationship between his sister and Zhang Yang.

Zhang Daguan was a little embarrassed because of Qiao Pengju's words, and coughed and said: "Pengju, in fact, what happened in your family is indeed very sudden, if you say something that shouldn't be said, what you did before has become a fuse that causes conflicts." ”

Qiao Pengju sighed and said: "I regret it, this time I was used, they used my affairs to deal with our Qiao family, and forced my father to leave Pinghai." ”

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Now that everything has been settled, you can eat a trench and grow wise." ”

Qiao Peng said: "I won't forget this matter, as long as I find out the initiator, I will never let him go." ”

Zhang Yang said: "The people who dare to make trouble for your family are not ordinary people, Mengyuan has suffered a lot of blows this time, Aunt Meng decided to become a monk, in fact, there is a premonition, as the son of Qiao's family, think about it, did you care about her well in the past, and did you take time to spend more time with your mother?" ”

Qiao Pengju said gloomily: "The first thing I did when I came back was to look for her, but my mother didn't want to see me." ”

Zhang Yang said: "During the period of your accident, I can see it very clearly, Qiao Lao and Secretary Qiao are under great pressure, they are silently dealing with this crisis, trying their best to compensate for everything that has happened for you, the most sympathetic is Mengyuan, because of your affairs, she has been affected, and has to choose to give up her career, and in order to help you fill the shortfall, she transferred the property she established single-handedly, and at the same time has to bear the pain of her mother's departure, for a young girl, is all this too cruel?" ”

Qiao Pengju felt sorry in his heart, he pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry for her, I'm sorry for everyone in the family." ”

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder and said: "Pengju, although I don't know how to do business, but I know that people are not afraid of falling, they are afraid that they will not have the courage to get up, now you are fine, your family is fine, this turmoil has passed, you don't have to think about finding out the real culprit behind the scenes, do your own business well, for the Qiao family, and for Mengyuan, you have such ability." ”

Qiao Pengju said in a low voice: "There are not many people who dare to attack the Qiao family, in fact, I can vaguely guess who it is in this matter." ”

Zhang Yang said: "I don't think anyone in the Qiao family wants to make waves because of this matter anymore. ”

Qiao Peng raised his head and said, "Thank you!" ”

After dinner, Qiao Lao invited him to the terrace outside his study under the pretext of asking Zhang Yang a few health problems, and Qiao Lao wanted to ask about his granddaughter: "Zhang Yang, have you been in contact with Mengyuan recently?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I called her as soon as I came to the capital, and she said that she was traveling in Thailand and would come back at the end of the month." ”

Qiao Lao sighed worriedly and said: "Mengyuan, this kid has a strong nature, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he has everything on his heart, and he refuses to say anything outside. Her mother's renunciation hit her hard. ”

Zhang Yang said: "Time can heal the pain, and I think her mood will gradually improve over time." ”

Qiao Lao said: "I always feel that she has something on her mind, since her mother left home, my granddaughter seems to be getting farther and farther away from me, it should be said that she is getting farther and farther away from our whole family." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Old Qiao, Mengyuan cares about this family very much. ”

"I know, I mean, that she's willing to give for this family without regrets, but it's not wrong for her to run away from the love we give her. In the past, she would tell me anything, but now, she has everything in her heart. A trace of indescribable sadness appeared on Qiao Lao's face: "I hurt this granddaughter the most, but now she feels like a flock of birds floating outside, I always worry about her, worry about whether she is bullied outside, and worry about whether she will not take care of herself alone." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Old Qiao, Mengyuan must be able to take care of herself." ”

Qiao Lao nodded, sighed again, and said: "Old, it seems that I am really old, chattering, and suffering from gains and losses like all old people." ”

Zhang Yang looked at Qiao Lao and found that no matter what position a person has reached, no matter how much glory he has had, he still can't get rid of his concern for his family and juniors. How can a caring person who doesn't even understand his family know how to care about his country? Qiao Lao's ordinariness is his greatness. Zhang Yang said: "Old Qiao, you don't have to worry, when Mengyuan comes back this time, I will talk to her about it." ”

Qiao Lao said: "What I'm most worried about now is this girl, I haven't worried about her studies in the past, nor have I worried about her career, but what makes ** heart is her feelings, you also know, the part between her and Xu Jiayong, this child is very difficult in everything, and he has identified the road, he must go all the way to the dark, and he will never turn back if he doesn't touch his head and bleed, since Xu Jiayong's death, I have never heard of her emotional affairs, Zhang Yang, you are such a good friend with her, have you ever heard of her in this regard?" ”

Zhang Daguan shook his head again and again: "I really haven't heard of it." "Actually, this guy understands very well in his heart, the person Qiao Mengyuan is thinking about now is him.

Qiao Lao said: "But judging from all kinds of signs, this girl should have someone in her heart, otherwise she would not have rejected the children of the old Zhou family so resolutely a while ago." ”

Zhang Yang said: "I really don't know about this matter, when Mengyuan comes, I'll ask." ”

An intriguing smile appeared on Qiao Lao's face: "Okay, then you can help me ask, in fact, I think this kid can find someone he really likes, but in the world, there are always so many mistakes, otherwise there would not be so many regrets in the world, Zhang Yang, don't you say?" ”

Zhang Daguan's heart was pounding, he could almost conclude that Qiao Lao must have seen something between himself and Qiao Mengyuan, this old man's mind can only be described as unfathomable, the ambiguity between himself and Qiao Mengyuan, there is a chance that ** can't escape his eyes, Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Yes, I hope that there are lovers in the world who will eventually become married!"
