"A hundred years ago, the time-honored embroidery shop in the imperial capital belonged to our Cao family. It specialized in making clothes and cheongsams for wealthy families. Your grandma was the best at craftsmanship when she was young. She could have married into an official family and become a concubine. But she fell in love with her. Got a boy.
She was even willing to change his surname for him, cut off contact with the Cao family, and lived an anonymous life with him, going to the western suburbs of Lingnan, which is now known as the slums.
Later, a disaster occurred and many people died. The Cao family sent people to look for it, but to no avail. We all thought that she also died in that accident. "
Hearing Mr. Cao's words, Ye Nanyi had a strong intuition.
It seemed that Mr. Cao could give her the answer she wanted.
"Is the disaster you are talking about the reclamation project a few years ago?"
What a huge plan that would end up being a disaster for the slums.
"Reclamation plan..." Cao Hua said these four words slowly, with a slight contempt in his smile, "Indeed, everything has been filled in."
Her last few words were spoken in a very low voice. Even though Ye Nanyi had good hearing, she could only hear the word 'yes'.
"Mr. Cao, can you tell me more specifically about that disaster?"
She knew it was a bit abrupt to ask, but she really wanted to know.
When she was still young, her grandma said very little to her.
When she tried to find out, she couldn't find anything.
It seemed like there was a pair of big hands trying to erase all of this.
Cao Hua sighed, "I don't know, that was more than twenty years ago."
How could it be unclear?
Ye Nanyi just thought that he could get the answer from Mr. Cao.
At this moment, I just felt like my hope was dashed again.
So what exactly was that disaster? Isn’t it some kind of reclamation?
"Okay, it's time for you to teach the students."
Mr. Cao turned around and took Ye Nanyi's hand. With tenderness in her eyes, she patted the back of Ye Nanyi's hand and said, "Your temper is really similar to your grandma. I didn't expect that we would have such a fate. "
It's just that she doesn't have much time, otherwise, she really wants to spend some time with the little girl.
"Mr. Cao, please take care of yourself. I will visit you often."
"Forget it, I plan to find a place to spend my old age quietly in the future. There won't be many opportunities to meet, so take care of yourself."
Ye Nanyi stared at her eyes, which really looked like grandma's.
She couldn't help but leaned over and hugged Mr. Cao gently.
"grandmother."
The tip of her nose felt a little sore as she murmured this title that she had not had a chance to say again for a long time.
She really misses her grandma.
Mr. Cao gently soothed her back, and the familiar feeling made her feel at ease.
After sending Mr. Cao away from school, Ye Nanyi went to class.
During class, she would stroke the diary that Mr. Cao left for her from time to time.
No wonder, the embroidery patterns on it are so similar to grandma’s embroidery techniques.
When class was over, Ye Nanyi was packing her things and preparing to return the books she had borrowed before.
There are two missed calls on the phone, from Qu Ying.
She called back and the phone rang twice before being connected.
"Boss, as you said today, Xu Bo and I went to the Urban Construction Bureau, but the people there said that the land in the south of the city cannot be developed normally because of insufficient procedures."
"Then what procedures are left?" Ye Nanyi packed up her things, handed the book to Yang Ruoxue, thanked her, and turned around and left the classroom.
"The key point is that all relevant procedures are complete... I have also read it, and the terms have not been changed recently."
Before Qu Ying finished speaking, Xu Bo's voice came through the receiver, "The Urban Development Bureau just called. The land in front of Haiyun Plaza also said that there are some problems and the procedures need to be completed."
Ye Nanyi raised his eyebrows. If there is a problem with a piece of land and the procedures are insufficient, then it may really be insufficient.
But there are problems with both lands at the same time?
Then it's not a matter of land.
"Okay, I understand, I'll go over now."
…
The west gate of the school.
There were not many people here, and a black jeep was parked under the locust tree across the road.
Lei Zhan stood beside the car smoking, while Jiang Ye was in the passenger seat, holding a lollipop and playing Xiaomi.
Two girls passed by, each holding a cup of milk tea in their hands.
"Brother Zhan, I want to drink milk tea."
"Milk tea?" Lei Zhan threw away the cigarette butt, crushed it with his black leather boots, walked around Jiang Ye, and followed his line of sight, "You are such an ancestor! That stuff looks sweet, so don't drink it. "
If he remembered correctly, he once had a toothache after drinking milk tea, right?
"Oh." Jiang Ye's expression was indifferent, he looked away and nodded casually with his hand.
Lei Zhan's eyes fell on the candy stick in his mouth again.
"You still have candy in your mouth! If you eat candy every day, I'll give you a toothache. Okay, don't eat it." He started directly, but what he pulled out was a completely eaten candy stick.
Lei Zhan was speechless, "Next time you have a toothache, don't let me see it again."
"oh."
"You can only say oh, right?"
"Um."
"You deserve a beating!" Lei Zhan raised his hand and was about to slap Jiang Ye when he saw Ye Nanyi coming out of the west gate.
I looked around and quickly crossed the road.
"lady."
"Well, let's go to the central building. You two go to the back and I'll drive."
