You make money, I spend it, the rich stepmother is happy

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when I came out of the wedding banquet.

I just experienced a sincere and touching wedding, and saw the warm sunshine outside again.

Sheng Mumu was in a daze.

Come out of the hotel revolving door and stop at the door.

While waiting for Xiao Wang to drive over, he stared at the sky for a while.

The slight heat on the face was blown away by the gentle wind in the early autumn afternoon.

Finally, she stopped thinking about Qi Mo's burning and tender eyes when she was inside just now.

"Are you going to work in the afternoon?"

Qi Mo suddenly turned his head and asked a question.

Sheng Mumu looked back at him, thought for a while and laughed, and replied: "No, with Sister Jiamu and Cheng Zhuo here, I can be lazy for a long time."

As she spoke, her eyes drooped, and she saw that Qi Mo was holding the gift box distributed by the wedding banquet in his hand.

A bow is tied on the small lake blue box with a pearly white ribbon.

The man's knuckles were slightly bent, and he carried the gift box loosely.

A person who exudes the air of a superior, carrying such a pink and cute gift box.

There is an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

But Qi Mo didn't seem to think so at all, his expression was normal, and he asked again:

"Then come with me for a walk?"

"Yes." Sheng Mumu said, "Where are you going?"

Qi Mo looked not far away.

That area has been built into a tall building.

"Take you around the place where I grew up."

Sheng Mumu followed his gaze.

I just remembered that Qi Mo had said on the way here that the wedding hotel happened to be near the old community where he used to live.

At this time, a black luxury car stopped firmly in front of the two of them.

Xiao Wang got off the driver's seat and opened the rear door for Mr. Qi and his wife.

Qi Mo handed the gift box to Xiao Wang, "Put this in the car, my wife and I will go for a walk, we don't need the car for now."

Xiao Wang was dazed but professional, and answered within a second: "Okay Mr. Qi."

……

Come out of the wedding hotel, pass an intersection, and go around the tree-lined path.

It is a street full of life.

There are many shops on both sides of the street.

Many shop signs have faded.

You can tell it hasn't been refurbished for a long time.

There are many old communities in this area, several places have been demolished, and there are still many left.

Even at noon on a normal weekday, there is still a lot of traffic.

The owner of the wonton shop lifted the lid of the pot, and the steaming water rushed up instantly.

Primary school students with schoolbags hang around in front of the stationery store.

Debating whether to spend your pocket money on a loose-leaf notebook or the new colored markers.

Pushing the trolley for grocery shopping, the old man walked slowly past the door of the fruit and vegetable store. He was attracted by the discounted vegetables shouted by the salesperson inside with a small speaker, so he stopped to look inside.

In a corner bakery, young clerks in aprons put freshly baked toast on the shelves near the window.

The aroma of wheat drifted over.

"Jingle Bell--"

Behind him came the sound of bicycle bells.

Qi Mo lightly tapped Sheng Mumu's lower back, brought her in, took a step, and walked to the outer side.

Two students in junior high school uniforms rode through the crowd at a fast speed.

The school uniform was blown up by the wind, bending into a youthful arc.

"Ride faster, the first class in the afternoon is the old class." The boy in front urged.

The girl who was a little behind in speed grumbled, "I shouldn't have turned a corner to call you, and if I'm late, I'll be punished for copying school discipline and rules."

The boy's voice faded away, "It's fine if I can't copy for you..."

……

Old streets with special magic.

walk on it.

It gives the illusion of time standing still.

The pace of the two slowed down unknowingly.

With an extremely leisurely attitude, I walked slowly on this street shaded by ginkgo trees.

Qi Mo's eyes turned from cold to soft.

The smells, sounds, and even the touch of loose bricks in the ground.

It's all the same as before.

It's just that in the past, he always hurried by alone.

Rarely observes those around them.

After coming back after many years, I realized that this street is so lively.

wrong.

It may have been so noisy all the time, but my previous self never noticed it.

His eyes narrowed slightly, Qi Mo silently bent his lips.

Not right either.

It should be said that my former self did not have the ability to pay attention to the small things in life.

In addition to work in the head, it is still work.

The world is big, waiting for him to expand the territory.

Ever since she appeared in his life.

The world has become heterogeneous, small and soft.

She to him.

It is remodeling and subversion.

Sheng Mumu glanced at the man beside him from the corner of his eye.

Seeing the irrepressible tenderness on his handsome face.

Curiosity suddenly arose in my mind.

Did Qi Mo cross this street countless times when he was a child?

Could he be a kid struggling in front of a stationery store holding pocket money?

Or a young man riding a bicycle, flying freely?

Looking at his handsome profile, more and more guesses came to mind.

The two walked lazily.

When encountering a familiar shop, Qi Mo would talk with her in a deep tone, full of memories.

Such as: "I used to eat bad stomach in this noodle shop", or "I didn't expect the old man selling tofu curds to have all gray hair".

Sheng Mumu listened quietly, sometimes teasing him: "I didn't expect the president to eat a bad stomach."

Sometimes on a whim, I would drag him back to buy a bowl of cold taro ball and bean curd.

In just one afternoon, she knew a little more about this man who slept with him every day.

He will his sensitive and delicate, childhood memories.

Undisguisedly, all of them were displayed in front of her.

……

When I returned to Xiyu Yueting, it happened to be dinner time.

The two have already eaten.

Butler Zhang stood at the door dedicatedly, with a smile on his face:

"Mister and wife are back."

Qi Mo nodded, and Sheng Mumu responded by touching her full stomach and smiling slightly.

in the room.

Qi Shaobai's ears stretched out when he heard the bell-like voice of Butler Zhang outside the door.

Leaned into the computer chair.

In fact, when he sent WeChat with his little stepmother at noon, there was one thing he didn't have time to say.

The school has scheduled a coming-of-age ceremony for the third grade next Wednesday.

Parents of students are invited to attend.

Qi Shaobai just planned to ask them who is free to go.

Then he was choked back by his father's scary voice message.

Just as he was thinking about when to talk to them about coming-of-age ceremony, there were two knocks on the door.

"Knock Knock-"

Opening the door, Sheng Mumu stood outside, shaking the bag in his hand.

"Student Xiaoqi, don't say that we won't take you when we go out for delicious food and spicy food. I bought you freshly baked chocolate toast."

Qi Shaobai was not polite, he reached out to take it, "Thank you."

Sheng Mumu turned around to go upstairs, when she heard Qi Shaobai's lazy voice calling her.

"By the way, the school will hold a coming-of-age ceremony next Wednesday, in the auditorium, are you free?"

Sheng Mumu turned her head and saw Aojiao Xiaoqi touching the back of her neck with her chin raised slightly.

With a casual expression and a somewhat indifferent tone, he added:

"It doesn't matter if you don't have time to come. It's not a very important thing anyway. It's just a unified activity. Most of the students in the class haven't arrived yet."

"Go." Sheng Mumu said without even thinking about it, "I love to join in the fun, so of course I'm going."

Qi Shaobai turned his cold and prickly eyes to look over.

The thorns are completely melted, and the Tucao servant is still not down, and the mouth is cheap and replied:

"You don't have to be proud if you love to join in the fun."

Sheng Mumu: "???"
