Li Luo and Ying Chanxi held umbrellas and walked side by side towards the gate of Jincheng Community.

After chatting casually for a few words, the episode at the bus stop had been forgotten.

When we walked to the gate of the community, we happened to bump into Li Guohong and his wife who were rushing back from the breakfast shop.

"Huh?" Lin Xiuhong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you two here?"

"She took the bus home from school and didn't bring an umbrella." Li Luo pointed to Yingchan Creek and explained simply, "I will go to the station to pick her up with an umbrella."

"That's just right." Li Guohong nodded and said, "Let's go back to eat together."

After saying that, the four of them walked towards home.

But what made Ying Chanxi feel strange was that after the four people walked up to the fourth floor, Li Luo and the others stopped in unison. They had no intention of taking out the keys to open the door. Instead, they all looked at her.

This made Ying Chanxi stunned: "Well... aren't we going to your house for dinner?"

"Don't ask so many questions, open the door first." Li Luo pressed her shoulders and faced the door of 402 next door.

So Ying Chanxi stupidly took out the key and opened the door of his house.

Before anyone even entered, a strong aroma wafted over from the living room, whetting their appetites.

Smelling the smell from the kitchen, Ying Chanxi stopped in his tracks. After being pushed into the house by Li Luo, he immediately saw a figure busy in the kitchen.

"Dad! Are you back?"

Ying Chanxi's little face showed joy, she quickly put on her slippers, ran to the kitchen, and threw herself into her father's arms.

After all, she is still a 15-year-old girl, and she often doesn't see her father. It's rare for her father to come home. Ying Chanxi, who is usually reserved and polite, can't control her joy at this time.

Li Luo looked at this scene with a smile, skillfully took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet and threw them to his parents. He put on the pair of blue slippers and walked into the living room.

"Uncle Ying, are the dishes hot?"

"Well, there are two more dishes that need to be reheated." Ying Zhicheng patted his daughter on the shoulder, with a smile on his face, "Okay, okay, there are guests at home, let me reheat a few more dishes.

.”

"Yes." Ying Chanxi left her father's arms, obediently took out the bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, placed them one by one on the dining table, and invited Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong to sit down.

A few minutes later, the five people were sitting in a circle in the living room.

Ying Zhicheng took out a bottle of liquor from the counter and said to Li Guohong with a smile: "It's been a long time since we last had dinner together. I'd like to have two drinks with you today. Does your sister-in-law have any objections?"

"What kind of opinion does she have?" Li Guohong waved his hand and tapped the rim of the cup, "Fill it all up for me!"

Lin Xiuhong on the side rolled her eyes and was too lazy to talk to him.

Ying Chanxi next to him was also snickering, and whispered in Li Luo's ear: "Uncle Li is the most arrogant at this time."

"My mother is more generous." Li Luo and Ying Chanxi whispered, biting their ears, "If you drink too much, you will probably have to kneel on the washboard the next day."

Ying Chanxi laughed happily twice, and then asked, "Did you already know that my father was coming back? You didn't even tell me when he came back just now."

"Isn't this a surprise for you?" Li Luo said, "Try it and see, your father made this dish this afternoon."

Ying Chanxi picked up a piece of Coke chicken wing, his expression still hesitant.

After all, she was aware of her father's cooking skills.

It's really not a compliment.

But when she opened her mouth and took a small bite, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she ate it all in a few bites.

Then she added a few pieces of tomato scrambled eggs and minced eggplant, which were her favorite flavors.

"Is the food your dad cooks delicious?" Li Luo asked.

"It's delicious!" Ying Chanxi nodded repeatedly.

When Li Luo heard this, he nodded with satisfaction: "That's good."

At the dinner table, the two younger ones and Lin Xiuhong ate relatively quickly. Each had a bowl of rice, and then ate more vegetables, filling their stomachs quickly.

But these two grown men couldn't stop drinking, chatting and bragging for less than two hours.

Lin Xiuhong kept company at the side. After Li Luo and Ying Chanxi had almost eaten, she whispered that they could get off the table and play first.

But Li Luo still wanted to hear the content of their adults' chat, so he continued to stay on the table.

When Ying Chanxi saw that he was not leaving, he continued to sit and listen to his father chatting with Uncle Li and the others.

"Speaking of it." Ying Zhicheng was chatting, his eyes fell on Li Luo, and then said, "Someone came to deliver the admission notice this afternoon. Your Li Luo is awesome. He has been admitted to the No. 1 High School."

"Oh, this." Li Guohong couldn't help but smile proudly, "It's not bad, this kid is so-so, and he can't compare with your Xixi."

"Humble, you're humble, right?" Ying Zhicheng glanced at this guy and saw that the corners of his mouth were about to go up to the sky, "I'll punish you with a drink. You don't even tell me about such a good thing right away."

"Okay, okay." Li Guohong picked up his glass and took a sip, and then said, "The main reason is to tell you that there is no sense of accomplishment in this matter. Your stream is there."

"I'm looking for kids whose grades are not as good as Li Luo's."

"It's fun to show off."

Ying Zhicheng laughed: "It's shameless for you to look at other people's orders."

"I'm done with it." Li Guohong put down his wine glass and pointed at Lin Xiuhong, "You don't know that your sister-in-law called her relatives to invite relatives to a college entrance banquet that night, but she didn't even let me make a call, so she showed off everything.

.”

"What are you talking about?" Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes, "You're tired after a long day's work, why don't I share it with you?"

"Haha." Ying Zhicheng laughed twice, then raised his glass and said, "Anyway, congratulations to Li Luo. Now high school is in the same school as Xixi. Let's fight for college together and get admitted to Qianjiang University."

"Okay!" Li Guohong patted the table and raised his glass, "Let's go one!"

After chatting about this topic, Ying Zhicheng suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, do you know the housing prices on Qiushan Street, how are they doing recently? There are also Yingbin Road and Zhenxing West Road."

"Huh?" Li Guohong was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It has been declining for the past six months. It doesn't look like the situation is good, but..."

"But what happened?" Ying Zhicheng asked.

"Your sister-in-law and I made a plan some time ago and bought a second-hand house from my brother-in-law, near Zhenxing West Road, for a price of just over 10,000."

"Oh?" Ying Zhicheng didn't expect this to happen and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say that housing prices are falling? How can you afford to buy a house at this price?"

"Hey...it's a bit unclear here." Li Guohong shook his head and laughed, and then explained, "First, my brother-in-law's house really asks for a low price, and he is in a hurry to sell it, and their house is well-decorated, so you can buy it.

live."

"The second one is Li Luo. He really worked hard in the high school entrance examination and was admitted to the attached high school."

"This house happens to be right next to the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School. I just thought that when Li Luo starts school, he can live there directly. It will be convenient to go to and from school."

"As for the third one...I heard here that housing prices there may rise in the future!"

"Will it go up?" Ying Zhicheng raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

"I'm just saying this, don't take it seriously." Li Guohong said quickly, "Actually, Li Luo heard it from a classmate in his class."

"That classmate's family has a good background. His father works there, so he probably has some connections."

"I seem to have heard that the subway terminal at Yinjiang District South Station may be extended to three or four stations in the future."

"The prices of houses along this subway line will definitely increase in the future."

"But the news is not confirmed yet, so it's hard to say anything."

It is best to make the accounts clear between brothers, let alone matters involving money investment.

Li Guohong was also afraid that he was talking nonsense, so Ying Zhicheng actually bought a house.

If house prices do not rise in the future, it will always affect the relationship between the brothers.

But after Ying Zhicheng heard what Li Guohong said, his face looked a little strange, and then he thought about it for a while before saying, "Brother Li, maybe you are actually on the right track."

"Ah?" Li Guohong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "How do you say that?"

"Actually, I also have news here." Ying Zhicheng said, "You know, my company used to have that background, and I usually come into contact with a lot of people, so I can know all kinds of news privately at the wine table.

"

"There is indeed a plan to extend the terminus at South Station, but we don't know when it will start yet."

"And this is still in the draft stage. But according to the news from my side, I am still sure. That's why I asked you how the housing prices over there have been lately."

Li Luo sat at the dinner table, listening to the adults chatting, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

When he was 15 years old in his previous life, he definitely didn't have the heart to listen to their gossip about things that he couldn't understand at all.

Maybe at that time, I had already left the table and went to the study room to play on the computer, and I didn’t have any impression of all this in my mind.

Moreover, the information that Ying Zhicheng just said was completely based on Li Guohong's first words about the subway lines.

I'm not sure whether Uncle Ying said this in his previous life.

After all, if he really said it, his parents probably wouldn't spend all their money on his cousin Wei Dongrong's project.

All I can say is that I, a little butterfly, flapping its wings a little, has already blown the fate of many people around me to an unknown future.

As for the subway, although Ying Zhicheng is not 100% sure, Li Luo is not worried.

Because when the G·20 summit is held at the end of this year, it will be determined that China will be the venue for the next summit.
