At the end of October, the cold air blowing from the northwest suddenly turned the north into an icy land, and heavy snow began to fall further north. The temperature in Yandu was less than ten degrees and would continue to drop.

Pedestrians walking on the street are already wearing down jackets or thick coats.

Guyunxuan Manor has become a model of Soviet-style garden architecture in Yandu City. It is surrounded by wide avenues. Opposite the avenue are either villas or museums, so the privacy of the manor is very good. There is a wetland that has been developed long ago.

There are also parks, mature commercial complexes, hospitals, schools, etc. In terms of geographical location, it is definitely one of the best areas in Yandu City.

On November 1, Li Mo's family had moved into Guyunxuan Manor, and the guests he invited to the housewarming party were all his most familiar friends.

"Master, do I want to live here in the future?"

Everyone was dazed after Yangyang entered the manor. She held the hands of Sisi and Ruirui and followed Li Mo.

"Of course, this is your new home. You, Si Sirirui and the others will have independent yards." Li Mo walked in front while introducing the layout and structure of the manor to the people next to him.

"The Su-style classical garden dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period, developed in the Jin and Tang Dynasties, flourished in the Song Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The garden and house are integrated into one, which can be enjoyed, visited, and lived in. There are houses, pavilions, corridors, springs, stones, flowers and plants in the garden.

Wait, except for the residential area, everyone can stroll around. But it is early winter, and there is nothing to see. Wait until March next year, and this will be the real holy land on earth."

"Brother, where is the lake you mentioned?"

Niu Sanpang looked around with envy.

"Go straight along this corridor. You can pass here or enter through a separate gate. The main purpose is to open it to the outside world in the future. I built a dock on that lake, parked five wooden cruise ships, and planted plants in the lake.

We planted lotus roots, stocked various fish and shrimps, raised chickens, ducks and geese in captivity, opened up a vegetable planting area by the lake, and built several earthen stoves. From now on, everyone who wants to eat fresh green food can come here."

The invited guests couldn't help but marvel. Although they had just entered the manor and saw only a small area, just listening to Li Mo's description, they could imagine how large the Gu Yunxuan Manor was, even a large lake.

It was enclosed. Such a large land area was officially given to Li Mo. It is permanent and can be passed down from generation to generation forever.

Qin Sirui, Chen Feng, and Chen Xiaoyan chatted while walking. It was not the first time for her to come here, but she still felt so shocked every time she came in.

"Mr. Xiong, how much did this manor cost?"

At this moment, Fu Liang was like the state that Grandma Liu was in when she entered the Grand View Garden written in Dream of Red Mansions. A country bumpkin entered the city and was shocked by everything he saw.

The brown bear smiled and patted him on the shoulder, pointing to a huge stone not far away: "Including freight, it's probably worth around 300,000 yuan here."

"How much?" Fu Liang looked at the stone, "Why is a stone full of holes so valuable?"

"That's called Taihu Stone. It's a famous stone. How about it? Have you learned a lot about it?"

"The salary I earned in two years is not enough to buy a stone."

Fu Liang muttered that this Gu Yunxuan Manor could be described as priceless. The brown bear smiled and glanced at him and said, "Okay, don't really think of yourself as a bumpkin."

Li Mo took everyone shopping around for an hour and still hadn't finished it. They kept walking and stopping. Along the way, they saw security teams in uniforms patrolling. There were men and women. They were all elites selected from the Security Shield Group.

.

"Xiao Mo, I think everyone is tired from shopping, why don't they go to the entertainment area to play mahjong, billiards, etc."

Qin Sirui walked to him and whispered.

"Okay, if you want to go shopping, just go with me for a walk around the lake. If you don't want to go shopping, just go to the entertainment area."

"Uncle Junior, I'll go for a walk with you."

"Brother Daxia, I'm going too."

The only two women who followed Li Mo were Chen Xiaoyan and Cai Cai, and the rest were all gentlemen.

"San Pang, you seem to have gained weight again." Li Mo took out a pack of 70% dried beef strips and handed one to Niu San Pang, "Eat more beef and you won't gain weight easily."

"I've been exercising less recently and eating well. It's strange that I haven't gained weight. Why did you bring a pack of beef strips with you?"

"It's cold, eat some beef strips to keep warm." Li Mo distributed the beef strips to others, "A friend sent me a dozen boxes from the prairie, and when I left in the afternoon, everyone took a dozen packages back.

It’s good for both adults and children. There are original flavors, cumin and spicy flavors, you can choose your own.”

Everyone walked around the lake. There was nothing to see now, but from time to time they saw sizable fish splashing in the water.

The housewarming banquet was held in a huge restaurant with enough space for four tables. The chefs were all sent by Li Yanxin to help.

"Yan Xin, I heard that your seafood hot pot chain store has fully blossomed in Kyoto. When will you come to Yandu to open more branches?"

"Two branches are already being renovated and are expected to open at the end of the month." Although Li Yanxin is already the boss of a listed company, he usually keeps a low profile. You can't tell that he is a rich man when he goes out.

"Let me know when it opens, and I will bring people from the company to support you."

"Hahaha, I just considered that your company has many employees, good benefits, and deep pockets, so I specially opened a seafood hot pot restaurant on the commercial street opposite the Qianqian Shengzang Group headquarters. If the attendance rate is not high one day,

Your people can also go and increase my popularity."

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed with everyone.

"I just discovered now that among you business people, you are the smartest. Go back and apply for a discount card for the company. You can eat wherever you go."

Li Yanxin waved his hand and said, "You were wrong this time. I'm not the smartest. It was the third fat man's idea that I opened the store opposite your group's headquarters. He said you beat him badly last time, so why not

I need to get some money back from you."

This matter is not a glorious thing, but bringing it up on this occasion makes the friendship between everyone even more obvious.

"Hey, hey, it's okay if you don't mention it, but when you mention it, I feel a little dull pain in my bones. I don't care, brother, if you don't take care of our business, I'm not done with you."

Niu Sanpang also acted rogue, making everyone laugh non-stop.

After laughing, Li Mo stood up with his wine glass and said: "Today is our family's housewarming party. From now on, everyone can come and sit down when you have time. Gu Yunxuan Manor is not like the villa where he lived before. When three or five guests come, it will seem like a small place.

From now on, it will be no problem for thirty or fifty people to come and play. Either of you here are mine.

Family, or my most trusted brothers and friends. In the past ten years, we have grown and made progress together. We have our own careers, families and children. Everything will change with the passage of time, but between us

The family ties and friendships will not change, they will only get better and better."

"Today I am entertaining everyone here, and we will have dinner here every year in the future. When I get old, my children will also invite everyone's children to have dinner here. I hope that the friendship between them will be like ours now."

We are all sitting here, temporarily forgetting our identities and careers, eating and drinking, talking freely, recalling interesting historical events, and looking forward to the future."

"For the first glass of wine, Sirui and I respect everyone, our parents and relatives, our brothers and friends, the time we can't get back, and our more glorious future, do it."

"Dry!"

Everyone raised their glasses and stood up, all excited, and drank the whole drink in one gulp.

"Everyone, please sit down. There is one more thing I want to tell you. From now on, I will temporarily stop all work. Next, all my energy will be spent on cultivating Yangyang and accompanying my child slowly.

When I grew up, I spent three meals a day with my family.”

Niu Sanpang couldn't help but ask: "Brother, from your tone, why do you seem to be retiring?"

"Don't worry, even if you retire, it will be a temporary retreat. You still have time to go to the seafood hot pot restaurant to gather people." Li Mo smiled and continued, "The main thing is that no matter how big or high my achievements are, that is secondary.

.The true foundation of our treasure hunt is inheritance

, Yangyang is the fourth-generation disciple, and I need to spend more time passing on the skills passed down by my ancestors to her. Therefore, in the future, if you want to invite me out for dinner and chat, I'm sorry, I don't have time.

But if you really miss me, just come over by yourself."

The restaurant suddenly burst into knowing laughter.

"Two years, wait two years and then decide whether to extend based on the situation."

Everyone probably understood what he meant. In the past two years, he would live in seclusion and gradually fade out of everyone's sight. No one had doubts about Li Mo's reason for cultivating Yangyang with all his heart.

See, this makes sense.

The housewarming party ended and everyone said goodbye and left one by one.

"Xiao Mo, there are too few people living in such a big manor. There are only a few of us. Why don't you let your master and others come to live together? Only with a large number of people can we be popular." Qin Sirui sat on a chair and said with his legs crossed,

“I didn’t expect that walking from the front door to the back of my house would be so tiring.”

"That's right. Fortunately, you were very considerate when you originally designed this manor and specifically reserved a driveway for electric cars. Otherwise, we wouldn't be willing to move here. We would be tired just visiting your own home every day."

Shiyi also had a little complaint.

"Xiao Mo has also prepared a few electric bicycles. Then we can just ride them wherever we want. When we were living in the Magic City, we had to spend money to visit the gardens in Suzhou City. Now today

Living in this environment, you will be happy even when you sleep and dream."

Li Zhongsheng hammered her calf and said.

"That's true." Shiyi looked at Li Mo who was sitting opposite making tea, "Son, is the yard where your master and the others live ready? They went back to the countryside in northern Jiangsu to celebrate the birthdays of their elders, and it coincides with your move-in time.

Already."

"Well, it has been prepared for a long time, but they will not come this year for the time being. We will wait until the weather gets warmer after the new year. Master also has to travel between the Magic City and Kyoto. Living here in Yandu is a bit troublesome. It is not easy to take the high-speed rail and the like.

It's convenient." Li Mo made tea and gave it to

Sirui poured a glass and said, "Daughter-in-law, go back and tell your parents. They are also close to here. Why don't they move over from the farm and live with us? There are many houses and bedrooms here, and even if they are empty, they will be empty."

Now, it’s quite lively when we all live together.”

"I have mentioned it to them a long time ago, and it turns out that they have become accustomed to the pastoral life on the farm, which is clean and comfortable. After the new year, we can let them live here for a few days occasionally."

"Dad, it's so much fun here."

Sisi and Ruirui walked into the living room from outside, looking very excited, followed by Yangyang and Chen Xiaoyan.

"Uncle Junior, the manor is so big that walking around is like playing hide-and-seek."
