Chapter 1062: One thousand and sixty, encounter
Mo Shaoze drove the car with a few people out of the school and headed toward the city center. "The changes in the country over the past few years have been significant. People’s economic conditions have improved, and life has become better and better." Previously, he’d been preoccupied with his son’s matters and hadn’t had much interest in discussing such things.
"It will only get better in the future," Luo Shu said. Being part of the new generation, she naturally had a good understanding of the country’s development.
"Exactly. In the past, all we had were black-and-white TVs. Now, not only are televisions in color, but their sizes keep getting bigger and bigger. Cars used to be something that very few people could afford, but nowadays, more and more people are buying them. And have you seen those ’brick-sized’ mobile phones? Sure, they’re heavy and clunky, but communication with them is incredibly convenient," Mo Shaoze said with a smile. Since Lu Hanmo and Luo Shu had been away for so many years, they were surely unfamiliar with the advancements back home.
As they chatted, they arrived at Huangjin Street, the most famous street in Jinchen. Compared to six years ago, Huangjin Street had undergone tremendous changes. Towering buildings rose everywhere, and many foreign restaurants had set up shop here. Coffee shops and international dining spots could be seen throughout the area.
"Dad, can I have a steak?" Mo Yikai asked. Despite being a bit mischievous, he was commendable in other aspects.
"It’s Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu treating us today, so you should ask them for permission," Mo Shaoze said with a smile, rubbing Mo Yikai’s head. He didn’t consider it impolite for children to inquire or express their wishes to others; on the contrary, it helped cultivate their social and decision-making abilities.
Mo Yikai nodded, then looked over at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo. "Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, may I have steak?"
"Of course!" Luo Shu nodded with a smile. After spending some time with Mo Yikai, she found him to be a very well-mannered child.
"Thank you, Aunt Lu!" Mo Yikai said with a cheerful grin. His mother had taught him to say thank you whenever someone agreed to his requests and to remain composed even in the face of rejection. At first, he hadn’t understood, but after trying it a few times, he began to grasp the concept.
The group entered a foreign restaurant, where a waiter guided them to their table.
