Why it never ends

"...That's not just fun!" Ding Guisheng blew his beard and sighed with emotion, "I don't understand you young people now. At that time -"

"Okay dad!" Ding Jiali quickly interrupted his father, "Stop mentioning what happened when you were young. Times have changed."

"You can't say that either," Shi Pingchuan glanced at his wife's brother, "There are some truths that are valid no matter how the world changes - you don't want to drop out of school too, do you?"

Ding Jiali rolled his eyes at the ceiling, and then looked at Mei Sinan apologetically.

Mesnan smiled, "...I understand what uncle means. Young people should not waste their time."

"The enemy!" Ding Guisheng leaned back slightly. His protruding abdomen was finally no longer pressed against the edge of the table, and the whole mass of fat drooped down comfortably, covering his belt. "Now you young people have many ideas, parents. It’s not easy to control. Are your parents still in the North [-]th District? How worried are your parents if you come out alone like this——"

"Dad!" Ding Jiali couldn't help but wink at his father, "Don't mind other people's affairs!"

"What are you doing?" Ding Guisheng looked a little annoyed, "I just said a few more words, but no one else was in a hurry, but you are... I don't know why you are in a hurry!"

Ding Jiali covered half of his face, while Mei Sinan was still smiling. He put down his chopsticks, placed his hands squarely on his thighs, and looked at Ding Guisheng with gentle eyes, "But I'm not a person with many ideas. This is It’s my first time traveling far away.”

"Where is your home in the North [-]th District?" Ding Guisheng asked.

"The area around Mount Tobol."

"Tobol Mountain...Tobol Mountain..." Shi Pingchuan repeated the place name in a low voice, his expression becoming serious.He vaguely felt that this place name was very familiar. He must have heard it on some important occasion recently...

But where exactly is it...

"Our area is inaccessible, with only a few scattered villages. The nearest town with more than 1000 people is more than two hours' drive from my home."

"Oh, why do your parents want to live so far away?"

"It seems to be because my father had a dream of becoming a hermit when he was young... But I actually didn't know him very well. He passed away shortly after I was born, and my mother didn't want to talk about him."

Xu Ruyi's eyes softened immediately, "It's not easy for your mother to raise you by herself."

Mei Sinan nodded in agreement. Seeing that the expressions of everyone present seemed to be filled with unbearable expressions, he added, "I am very grateful to Jiali for being willing to bring me to the house for dinner tonight. This is my first time to attend such a grand family banquet. I ——”

"Don't you have three brothers above?" Shi Pingchuan folded his hands and rested his chin, "It should be quite lively at dinner, too?"

"No," Mesnan replied, "My eldest brother is 14 years older than me. When I remember, he already had a family...I am not close to my brothers."

"Father is the backbone of a family," Ding Guisheng sighed. "Without father, the family will fall apart immediately."

Xu Ruyi looked at this shy young man with concern, "Then you should call home more often. Your mother must be very lonely now that she is alone." "She passed away the year before last. If someone dies, he will go there." When I reach the sky, she will always be looking at me."

Mei Sinan's expression is very gentle, and his tone still maintains the calmness before. He will look into the eyes of everyone he talks to, but he will be a little more sad when talking about his mother - this especially makes Xu Ruyi feel heartbroken. .If she were sitting next to Mesnan at this moment, she would probably have taken the young man's hand and patted the back of his hand gently.

"You just said that your home is far away from the town," Shi Pingchuan interrupted the somewhat inexplicable atmosphere, "Then what do you do when you go to school?"

"To be honest, I have not received an orthodox education... My mother and two tutors have been in charge of me from elementary school to middle school. Although I applied to a university in the North District last year, I couldn't leave because of some trivial matters. I didn’t register, and I have to come to Songxuehara again this year, so..."

"What did they teach you?" Ding Yuqing suddenly asked.

"Language, such as the dialect of the fourteen districts of the north and south, lingua franca, classical language...and literature. My mother asked people to transport a lot of books from the south district. Oh, there is also a piano. She used to like to play the piano-"

"Which university in the North District can allow students not to report for two consecutive years?" Shi Pingchuan interrupted Mei Sinan, "You don't take your studies seriously. You don't have a college diploma or any skills. You How will you find a job in the future?"

"...Sinan doesn't need to find a job." Ding Jiali suddenly added.

"What?" Shi Pingchuan turned his face sideways, "Then what will he do in the future, sell cars like you?"

"Whatever car he sells, he sells land."

The entire dining table was silent for a moment, and Shi Pingchuan didn't understand. "What are you selling?"

"Selling land," Ding Jiali replied, "and not to ordinary people. Half of his land was sold to Robbeglier on the Shengming."

In an instant, everyone at the dinner table raised their heads, including Hesta, who had already left the conversation - she heard a familiar name again.

At this time, Toki Pingchuan finally remembered where he had heard the name Mount Tobol.The plundering of the Shengming at sea in the past three months has caused a lot of excitement and aroused extremely heated discussions in District [-], especially the Thorn Monks and their upcoming arrival in the Second Eden - and the legendary Robbo The land purchased by Griet was in the area of ​​Mount Tobol.

Everyone's attention focused on Mei Sinan again. Shi Pingchuan opened his mouth in shock and did not close it for a long time. After a long time, he finally came back to his senses, "...how much land does your family have?"

As soon as this question came out of his mouth, Shi Pingchuan felt his face burn a little. He could feel his wife and father-in-law looking at him with a strange look at the same time - this was by no means a decent question, and no gentleman would ever ask this question. When you first meet, ask about the other person's property.

Before Ding Guisheng realized the seriousness of the problem, he took another look at Mei Sinan in front of him. Although this person looked a little weak, considering that he was a small landowner in the northern region, he was more pleasing to the eye at the moment.

"Uh... I mean, you have four brothers in your family," Shi Pingchuan blinked quickly, "at times like this, it's easy to have some conflicts."

"Indeed." Mei Sinan lowered his eyes slightly.

"That's reasonable. Legally, there is no dispute over the ownership of the land," Ding Jiali said with a smile. "All the land in their family is under Sinan's name."
