Chapter 1573 Returning to Berkeley ([-])
For Lan Shengli, Berkeley is the hometown of America.

After all, Lan Shengli spent most of his time in Berkeley during his long life in the United States.

Although it has been many years since Lan Shengli moved to Los Angeles, the feeling of "hometown" is incomparable.

Now because of the "coming out" of the new issue of Time Magazine's exclusive interview with Lan Shengli.

What happened to Lan Shengli in Berkeley was once again brought up by everyone.

And this interview spread like a butterfly effect.

Berkeley also invited Lan Shengli back to school for the first time after many years.

Lan Shengli reconnected with Berkeley and Berkeley.

"Taking this opportunity of returning to Berkeley, I would like to spend more time in Berkeley. After all, I have not only memories of work here, but more memories of life~"

As Lan Shengli said, this time he not only returned to Berkeley, but also to the whole Berkeley.

"Let's do it in chronological order~ First, I will show you my host family when I first came to the United States~"

Lan Shengli took Mia to take a general look at the former host family outside first, and then went to the next "attraction".

"Let's go~, in chronological order, the next stop is my old villa~!"

This is a scenic spot with more stories.

"So at that time, how did you manage to buy such a big villa~?!"

Soon, the two arrived at their destination.

Mia got out of the car, looked at the strange yet familiar villa in front of her, and asked.

The reason why I say strange is because Mia has never been to this place, and has never seen this villa.

And because Lan Shengli always mentioned this villa that saved Byron's life to Mia, so he was quite familiar with it.

"It's definitely not enough to rely on the school's salary alone. At that time, it caught up with a good policy. The teacher had a discount for buying a house. In addition, I had been teaching Chinese outside before, and Xiaojing also taught violin. We all made money. A lot of extra money, so at that time it was equivalent to taking out all our savings to barely cover the down payment of this house~”

Lan Shengli responded.

"Then why did you buy such an expensive house at that time~?! I think it would be nice to buy a smaller apartment~?!"

Mia asked.

"Maybe I just want to completely improve the whole living environment~, and I collected a lot of books at that time. If it was just an apartment of one or two hundred square meters, it might not be enough, so I didn't think so much. I always feel that as long as I work hard, I can earn all the money back, so I bought it~”

Lan Shengli responded.

"That's what I appreciate about you~, dare to do something~"

Mia listened and nodded in response.

"The new owner of this villa seems to be older. I remember that the lawn used to hold parties over there was planted with vegetables, and the swimming pool disappeared, haha~"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"I'm not planning to go in and have a look at this place~?!"

Mia asked.

"I always feel that it's not very polite~ It's good to just take a look here~"

Lan Shengli said.

"Is there anything I can help~!?"

At this time, the door of the villa suddenly opened, and an old man with a white curly beard came out, looked at the two people and asked.

It seems that Lan Shengli guessed right, the new owner of the villa is indeed an elderly person.

"Oh, it's nothing, I used to live here for a while, and I happened to pass by here today, so let's take a look~"

Lan Shengli responded immediately.

"You were the former owner of this place~?!"

The old man walked over and asked.

"Yeah~, but that was all seven or eight years ago, and I don't know if there was any change of owner during this period~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"That's right, I am your next homeowner. I moved here six years ago, and it has been vacant before~"

The old man responded.

"Oh~, then I really want to congratulate you~, living in such a place with such a good environment, life will be very happy~"

Lan Shengli said with a smile.

"Not bad, would you like to come in for a cup of coffee~?!"

The old man is very active.

"Forget it~, after all, this is your home now, it's not good for me to enter rashly~"

Lan Shengli waved his hand and declined.

"Okay~, maybe you can still find the private money that was hidden back then~"

"Haha~, I believe you can find it for me~"

After that, Lan Shengli chatted with the old man for a few more words, and then left.

"Why don't you go in and sit for a while~?!, that old man doesn't look like a bad guy~"

On the way to the next attraction, Mia asked Lan Shengli.

"Let's recall this thing~, I think it's best to click on it so far, there is no need to dig deeper~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Okay~, although I don't quite understand what's going on, so let's do it~"

Mia shrugged and responded.

"It means that the past is the past~"

Lan Shengli explained again.

"Then where are we going next~?!"

Mia asked.

"Go to a place where I have lived in the worst conditions and environment, but it may also be the happiest place~"

As Lan Shengli said, his expression became full of anticipation.

"Where is that~?!, you have another house in Berkeley~?!"

Mia frowned and asked.

"I'll tell you when I get there~"

As Lan Shengli said, he slammed on the accelerator and accelerated away.

"Here we are, here~, Byron's former home~"

After arriving at the destination, Lan Shengli got out of the car and immediately revealed the mystery.

"Although I only lived here for about a month, I will never forget that period of time~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"I've heard this story before, you and Byron made a fortune here~"

Mia nodded and responded.

"Should I send Byron a FaceTime~?!"

Mia asked next.

"Haha~, forget it~, who knows where this guy is traveling around the world now~, I believe Byron will come back here one day~"

Lan Shengli looked up at the window of Byron's house and sighed.

"Don't tell me, the environment here is even worse than what you told me before~"

Mia sighed as she looked at the garbage bags wrapped in large black plastic bags, the messy graffiti on the walls, and the dilapidated street facilities.

"Yeah, I also thought that after so many years, the environment here will improve, but it's not the case~ Maybe the slums can only be called slums forever~"

Lan Shengli also shook his head, lamenting.
