Lin Tao and Guo Yiling went home for the New Year, which surprised Yan Junxiu. When she saw the two children carrying big and small parcels outside the door, she not only complained: "When I go home, I go home every time. Why buy so many things!" She always felt that it was not easy for the two of them to be outside, and they should save some money.

Guo Yiling laughed and said, "Mom, Lin Tao is rich now, you can exploit him!"

Yan Junxiu patted her "hardly" on the arm, stared and said, "You child, how can you talk!"

Guo Yiling continued to snicker, but stopped joking.

Lin Tao said: "Auntie, Yiling is right. I do have money now, and you can exploit me as you please. Besides, buying things at home is also honoring you and uncle. You should buy as much as you want!"

Yan Junxiu raised her brows with joy, rolled her eyes at her daughter, and said, "Look at Lin Tao's level of speech, look at you..."

Guo Yiling stuck out her tongue and protested: "You are the mother-in-law, the more you look at your son-in-law, the more you like her, but my daughter-in-law has no status!"

Yan Junxiu was amused by her, and asked, "Why, are you still jealous?"

"Jealous, of course jealous, not happy!"

The three talked and laughed and entered the house.

Today is the 31st, Guo Zhan will not have a holiday, not to mention today, even if it is New Year's Day tomorrow, January 1st, as an important leader of the Beijing Municipal Committee, he will go everywhere to condolences, and there is no rest at all.

In order to come back early, the two of them didn't have a serious meal on the way. If they were hungry, they would eat some bread to deal with it. Now they are already hungry.Yan Junxiu felt distressed when she heard it, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook two dishes, and then ordered two bowls of hot noodle soup.

The three chatted while eating, and it was only then that Yan Junxiu found out that Lin Tao's Sweet Potato Shop had been in business for more than a month, and the business was booming, even giving out so much red envelopes to the employees.

"That's right, it's right to compare your heart with your heart and give more money to employees!" Yan Junxiu commented.

Guo Yiling chewed the noodles in her mouth and swallowed them, then smiled and said, "Mom, you said before that you don't want to spend money recklessly, let's light it up!"

Yan Junxiu gave her a white look, and said, "That's to prevent you from buying things for your family. Your father is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. If you don't want anything, why use your two juniors' money to buy things! But giving red envelopes to employees is just a It's different, now everyone looks at 'money', and it doesn't work anymore to take the emotional route, you have to work both emotionally and money, so that people can work hard for you, even I, a housewife who stays at home all day, knows this truth, don't Say you don't know!"

Guo Yiling giggled and said, "My mother is still amazing, why don't I understand!" She deliberately shook her head.

Yan Junxiu laughed and said: "You girl..." She slapped her lightly, her eyes full of doting.

Lin Tao was envious for a while, it feels so good to have his mother care about him!But when he turned his head and thought, Yan Junxiu was also kind to him, and he was relieved immediately. Family affection can't be forced, and he had figured this out a long time ago.

After eating and resting for a while, Lin was about to go out to visit various houses. After knowing his relationship, Yan Junxiu would naturally not stop her, and repeatedly told her to drive carefully.

After leaving home, Lin Tao's first stop was of course the Zhang family. In the entire capital, except for the Guo family, he had the best relationship with the Zhang family.

When he arrived at the Xishan Villas, Lin Tao continued to "scrub his face". This kind of treatment is not available to ordinary people, which is enough to prove how good his relationship with the leaders living there is.

It has been less than half a year since Zhang Qianying came home, because her return, in a sense, made the Zhang family finally complete, and the festivals became very lively, instead of being as gloomy as before. Sad to lose a loved one.

It's getting cold, but Zhang Tieyuan's habit of drinking tea outside the house has not changed.It was still the same pergola, with a charcoal stove in front and a big iron pot with a simple shape on it.The fire in the stove was burning hot, steaming hot, and there was hot tea to drink, so there was no need to worry about the old man getting cold.

The arrival of Lin Tao added a bit of joy to the Zhang family. The old man waved to him and signaled him to sit down and drink tea. This is a must-have program every time he comes.

There is special spring water in the cast iron kettle, which is the best for making tea. Wash the tea to get rid of the dusty smell, hang the pot high and watch the tea roll in the pot, then wipe off the foam with the teapot lid, rinse it with clean water and cover it. Soon the fragrance of tea will overflow.

These are naturally done by Lin Tao. If you want to wait for the old man to do something like this, it depends on when he is in a good mood.

Every time he came over, the old man would ask about Lin Tao's situation. When he heard that he had opened a baked sweet potato shop, the smile on his face couldn't help but grow stronger.

"Anyway, this is considered a serious business. Although it is not as high-end as the catering industry, after all, people depend on food, and roasted sweet potatoes are more popular and more acceptable."

Lin Tao said with a smile: "There are many people queuing up outside the store to buy every day. On the first day, even the stock was sold out, which shocked me. Later, I stocked up more stock every day, and in the end it was sold out."

Zhang Tieyuan said: "Business is good now, but it doesn't mean it will continue to be good in the future. People always get tired of eating, and this is also a challenge for you. You must continue to innovate. This is the same as playing chess. One step is one step. Beginners, take one step and look at three steps to be regarded as the first step into the palace."

Lin Tao nodded again and again. What the old man summed up was the truth accumulated over the years. He had to listen attentively and find time to actively digest it.

While chatting, Zhang Yang came out of the house and wrapped himself up tightly, knowing that he was afraid of the cold at a glance.

"Grandpa, I'm going out!"

"Going out again?" Zhang Tieyuan glanced at him, "Be careful and come back early!" He didn't say anything after that.

Zhang Yang nodded at Lin Tao, as a greeting, but stopped suddenly when he walked to the door, turned his head and asked, "There is a New Year's Eve event on Wangfu Road tonight, do you want to come together?"

Lin Tao was taken aback. It was impossible for him to say this to the old man, so he must be talking to himself.But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Yang would take the initiative to invite him. Is this a gesture of favor?

He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together!"

Zhang Yang said: "Then wait for my call!" After speaking, he went out.

Zhang Tieyuan couldn't help being happy when he saw Zhang Yangken bowing his head to Lin Tao. What he didn't want to see was conflicts among the family members, and he couldn't see anything like Xiao Qiang being troubled.

Thinking this way in my heart, I muttered in my mouth: "I know how to go out all day long, and I don't know what I'm doing. I can't carry the Zhang family's banner like this!"

Lin Tao said with a smile: "It's good for Zhang Yang to have his own opinions. If he becomes a political follower, he might as well not follow this path. It's too embarrassing for the Zhang family!"

Zhang Tieyuan smiled and said: "It's a pity that you don't want to be an official, you are so clear!"

"It's nonsense!" Lin Tao was humbled again and again.

Coming out of Zhang's house, Lin Tao called Guo Dongliang, but the kid didn't answer, Lin Tao was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone.

It wasn't until Lin Tao drove back to the city that Guo Dongliang called back, and said with no confidence: "Brother, are you looking for me?" Obviously he also knew that what he did last time was not authentic enough.

"Yeah, if I don't look for you, who can I look for!" Lin Tao said angrily, "I'll pick you up this time, don't drive, let me dump you once!"

Guo Dongliang laughed and said: "Look at you, can you still hold grudges about this matter? Last time I was too excited and didn't think about everything. I was wrong, okay?"

"Don't talk nonsense, pick me up at the gate of the compound!" Lin Tao said bluntly.

Guo Dongliang was taken aback for a moment, and then said with some surprise: "Have you come to the capital?"

"Nonsense, can I call you if I don't come to the capital?"

Guo Dongliang didn't care about his tone at all, and said: "You wait, I'll pick you up right away!"

Lin Tao smiled and hung up the phone. He was still some distance away from the military compound, so let him freeze for a while!

Sure enough, Guo Dongliang called soon after, furious, complaining that he lied to himself.

"Tit for tat, we're settled!"

When Lin Tao said this, Guo Dongliang immediately became wilted, who made himself unkind at the beginning, and was caught by others, and he couldn't blame others.

Half an hour later, when Lin Tao came to the military compound, Guo Dongliang rushed out from the gate with one shoulder, pointed at Lin Tao, didn't say a word for a long time, and then became discouraged.

"Get in the car!" Lin Tao put down the window and laughed.

Sitting in the car, Guo Dongliang said with a wry smile: "You really must take revenge!"

Lin Tao laughed and said, "It's not the first day you know me!" Then he changed the topic, "Let's forget what happened last time, have you thought of a better way?"

"I'm convincing my family to agree!" Guo Dongliang said in a deep voice, "But it's quite difficult!"

Lin Tao asked, "Is it because Sister Ying is married to you second?"

Guo Dongliang shook his head and said: "Really not, what they are worried about is whether Sister Ying can live with me sincerely!" He grinned, "Actually, my family is not as feudal as outsiders think, let alone wearing colored glasses Qianying."

Lin Tao rolled his eyes and said, "Damn it, what's the point of bothering, I'll get things done next summer, and I'll get in touch with Sister Ying!"

"Really?" Guo Dongliang didn't expect that he would take the initiative to ask Ying for help.

Lin Tao nodded and said: "Really! But you have to promise me that you will never hurt Sister Ying!" His tone suddenly changed, "You don't know the suffering that Sister Ying has suffered before, it is completely beyond your imagination!"

Guo Dongliang became serious, and said as if reassuring: "If you can't do this, can you still be considered a man?"

Lin Tao looked at him and said, "I'll take your words as an oath on the honor of a soldier!"

"Okay!" Guo Dongliang readily agreed.

There was a smile on Lin Tao's face again, and he sighed, "Sister Ying was so blind back then that she didn't choose you!"

"She was just deceived!" Guo Dongliang also sighed.

What happened back then hit him hard, and he couldn't figure out why he lost to a little boy. Could it be because he couldn't speak or make women happy?

It seems so now, but Zhang Qianying was not mature enough at that time. If it were changed to now, she would definitely not choose that little boy again, but would choose herself.

Everyone will pay some price for being young and frivolous, but Zhang Qianying paid too much for this price, and the damage caused has not been completely healed until now.

The happiest thing about Lin Tao's arrival was naturally Guoguo, who pulled him to ask long and short questions, and Lin Tao's head was getting dizzy when he asked him, so he was stopped by Guoguo.

Guo Zhijian likes Lin Tao very much, and it is admirable just because he dares to take responsibility.

After chatting for a while, Lin Tao received a call from Guo Yiling, asking him to go to the municipal party committee to pick up his father later. The driver asked for leave, so he took on the driver's responsibility by the way.

Lin Tao agreed, but Guo Zhijian saw that he had something to do and wanted to chat for a while, so he stopped there and urged him to do something important.

Lin Tao came out of the country, slapped his head while sitting in the car, and muttered depressingly, "You're so stupid, you forgot to ask!"
