old man in town

He said that the big bathroom in his house was specially built for his daughter, because she especially likes to look at the sky.Li Xiaomo listened quietly, and laughed non-stop when he heard happy things.

It seems that Mr. Xue has already calmed down his heart. It is a pity that such a resolute man is not cherished.However, in Li Xiaomo's memory, he did not see the beauty of marriage, but he saw a lot of the dark side from his parents.

"Teacher, I don't want to get married in the future."

"Fool, don't be affected by my affairs. You will definitely not think so when you meet the right person in the future."

"Ugh……"

That night, Li Xiaomo took a hot bath in the big bathroom of Mr. Xue's house, and insisted on going back to school for the last week. When he came back, it was already one o'clock in the morning.Teacher Xue wanted to keep him, but he refused.He didn't want to disturb the teacher and wanted him to have a good rest.After all, I have to go abroad tomorrow, and I am exhausted from the journey.

Walking in the quiet campus, Li Xiaomo couldn't help but look up at the starry sky again. In this quiet and happy night, I don't know what kind of dream Uncle Zhan was dreaming of, and whether he dreamed of himself in the dream.

☆, 14. The moon has no intention, reflects the water; water has a heart, writes the moon

In the morning, Li Xiaomo covered his head and slept soundly.Everyone in the dormitory has gone home, and no one disturbs him.The air conditioner hummed, and bursts of cool air blew towards Li Xiaomo.He got out of the blanket, rubbed his sleepy eyes, picked up his phone and checked the time, it was already 10:30.There is an unread text message on the phone, which was sent by Teacher Xue: Xiao Mo, I have arrived at the airport, thank you for your help these few days, I had a great time last night, haha.Li Xiaomo returned: Against the wind all the way, set sail smoothly, teacher, best wishes.Just as he was thinking about washing up, his cell phone rang. It was Uncle Zhan's call.

"Hey, Uncle Zhan." Li Xiaomo was still yawning, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

"Smelly boy, did you just wake up? I can smell bad breath. What are you doing these days, and you won't call your uncle or me."

"Uncle Zhan, I don't have bad breath. Hey, yeah, I just woke up. I've been busy these days, and I come back late at night, so I don't have time to call you. I'm afraid it will affect your business during the day."

"Hehe, what are you busy with? Tell me, let me listen. Let me see why you didn't call me?"

"After I came back from the town, I helped my teacher mark the papers. He was rushing to go abroad, so I have been helping at his house for the past few days."

"Male teacher or female teacher?"

"Male teacher, you are very kind to me. Uncle Zhan, you don't know. It was almost ten o'clock after reading the test papers last night. He took me to the beach to play and swim. I was very happy. When you come to Xiamen, I will also Take you to play, okay?"

"It's very dangerous to play in the sea so late, you should pay attention to safety!"

"It's okay, the teacher swims very well, he will protect me."

Suddenly, Uncle Zhan stopped talking and stood still for five or six seconds. Li Xiaomo thought the signal was bad.

"Hey, Uncle Zhan, can you hear me?"

"Oh……"

Uncle Zhan stopped talking again.

"Uncle Zhan, are you in a bad mood today? Why is your voice so low?"

"It's okay, Uncle is fine, I just miss you, call to care."

It was the first time for Li Xiaomo to hear the word "thinking" from Uncle Zhan's mouth, and it was like a pool of spring water was wrinkled in his heart, rippling with ripples of happiness.

"Hey, I said I'll call you tonight." Li Xiaomo blushed.

"Just remember Uncle. Xiao Mo, when will you have time during summer vacation to take Uncle out to play?"

"Well, Uncle Zhan, I was just about to discuss this matter with you. I will stop at school for about three days to do some work-study. My parents let me go home. I will go home for about two weeks, and then Let's go out and play, shall we?"

"Okay, hehe, uncle listens to your arrangement, you just don't sell uncle when the time comes."

"Haha, Uncle Zhan, whoever buys you will be lucky. You are a cornucopia with inexhaustible wealth. Uncle, which city do you want to go to?"

Li Xiaomo teased Uncle Zhan, and Uncle Zhan seemed to have regained his depressed mood just now, and said with a smile: "Haha, you kid, you don't even make drafts when you praise others. You decide the city, anyway, Uncle can play with you."

Li Xiaomo thought for a while and said: "Uncle Zhan, let's go to Beijing for the first time you travel, firstly, Beijing is the capital, and secondly, you are from the south. This is the first time you go out, so let's go to the north in summer, otherwise winter It's too cold, you're not used to it. Beijing is the most representative city in the north, Uncle Zhan, what do you think?"

"Xiao Mo, you are really thoughtful, okay, let's go to Beijing. But you have to remember that when you go out to play with uncle, you can't bring money, just you and your luggage. Okay?"

"Uncle Zhan, why do I listen, it seems that you are going to sell me?"

"Haha, I can't bear to sell you. Xiao Mo, what are you doing for a work-study program? Are you tired? If you are tired, don't do it. If you are short of money, tell uncle, you are so thin, I gave you those things You have to feed yourself and nourish your body.”

"Hehe, Uncle Zhan, I help others translate papers, it's very easy, don't worry. Besides, you know, I don't need money to spend, I just want to become independent as soon as possible. I will eat whatever you give me, But it is not allowed to say that I am thin, I am taking the lean route.”

"Okay, I don't say you are thin. But Xiao Mo, you promise uncle two things, okay?"

"What's the matter, I promise you." Hearing that Uncle Zhan wanted to let him do something, Li Xiaomo thought that Uncle Zhan had encountered some difficulties, and became a little nervous.

"The first thing is to call me every day in the future. Of course, I will also find time to call you when you are not busy. The second thing is to remove the last name when you can call me uncle. , just call him Uncle, otherwise it’s okay to listen to the birthright?"

When Li Xiaomo heard that it was these two things, he felt a lot more relaxed. This is not a request, it is simply a need. Li Xiaomo agreed in a desperate manner: "Okay, uncle, no problem, no problem, hehe."

Uncle Zhan also said some other words of concern, and then hung up.I can feel that Uncle Zhan has a powerful force today, and he is actively pulling Li Xiaomo towards him. This is really different from the situation where Li Xiaomo approached him proactively in the past.

…………

Holding the toothbrush, Li Xiaomo brushed his teeth absently and slowly in front of the mirror.In his mind, he was still speculating about the change in Uncle Zhan's mood just now.Why did Uncle Zhan suddenly become depressed when he heard him talking about playing with Mr. Xue?Could it be, could this be the legendary jealousy?Uncle Zhan will be jealous too?Li Xiaomo suddenly took out his toothbrush, ignored the white foam on his mouth, covered it with his hands, his eyes widened, he looked at himself in the mirror, his body trembling, he roared with a smile, his face was full of happiness.

The work-study program that Li Xiaomo talked about started when he was a sophomore in college.On some dissertation websites, there are often people who need to translate their dissertations into English. Li Xiaomo's English and professional courses are very good, and some seniors recommend this job to him.He often helps others translate professional papers related to mathematics or economics, but he is at the bottom line of morality and does not help to write them directly.From the beginning of this work, one or two articles a month to two or three articles a week now.Li Xiaomo also became more and more familiar with writing. He knew many terms by heart, and his efficiency was greatly improved.Two or three articles can be done in one day.In these three days, he has to translate about ten papers accumulated this week, and he can earn more than [-] yuan.Li Xiaomo now asks her family for less and less money. The eternal theme of her parents calling her is to ask if she is short of money. Now he even asks for less money, and everyone's communication becomes more and more more and more sparse.

☆、15. Arrived home, but got lost on the way home

Li Xiaomo took the flight to Hefei after finishing his school affairs.During the journey, after reading the remaining dozens of pages of "Norwegian Forest", the plane arrived at Luogang Airport safely.As soon as he got off the plane, Li Xiaomo called his father to make sure that his father and mother were waiting in the lobby.It's just that Dad said that he would introduce someone to Li Xiaomo, but Li Xiaomo was very curious.In the domestic arrival hall, I saw my parents waiting for me from a distance, but the difference was that there was a beautiful young woman standing next to my father, while my mother kept a distance from them, holding a Looking at the entrance of the passage while talking on the phone.

Li Xiaomo's father is Li Chenfu and his mother is He Chunli.Li Chenfu and He Chunli, when they were young, could be regarded as talented and beautiful. Even though they are middle-aged, they still retain many beautiful gifts from the past.Li Chenfu is 45 this year, and was as thin as his son when he was young, but now, frequent social activities have increased his body width a lot.The hair is still very black, after careful care, it exudes a shiny luster, and maintains a handsome parted head shape.He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the bridge of his nose is as straight as Li Xiaomo's.Seeing his son, he smiled.The sky blue polo shirt and white slacks make Li Chenfu look very young.He Chunli was one year younger than her ex-husband, she stayed alone, and waved happily when she saw her son.She permed her brown hair, which is popular nowadays, and the flowing waves spread all the way to her shoulders. He Chunli inherited a pair of big eyes from her son, and now she is staring at Li Xiaomo with vivid eyes, and a lot of words are screaming out through her eyes.She was carrying a brown handbag and wearing a black and white skirt, and she looked a lot thinner.Li Xiaomo's eyes gradually fell on the young woman standing between her parents.

Maybe Li Chenfu saw his son. Li Chenfu took the young woman's hand in his arms, picked it up, and put it down.The young woman looks less than 30 years old, very beautiful, and looks a bit like her mother when she was young.She was wearing a white dress and had a good figure. She was smiling but looked at Li Xiaomo nervously.

"Dad, Mom, how long have you been waiting?" Li Chenfu wanted to take the suitcase from Li Xiaomo's hand, but Li Xiaomo refused.

"The wait was only about twenty minutes. I figured it was almost there, so I got out of the car. Your mother came in earlier than me."

"Yes, of course I have to come earlier, and I will pick up my son." He Chunli didn't look at Li Chenfu, and lightly helped Li Xiaomo's shoulder.

"Xiaomo, let me introduce you. This is your Auntie Zhang, the girlfriend Dad met recently." Li Chenfu patted Li Xiaomo's head affectionately, and Li Xiaomo nodded because he found that the two hands that were separated just now , and now they are tightly nestled together again, Li Chenfu turned his head and said softly to the young woman, "Say hello to my son Xiaomo."

But Li Xiaomo politely spoke first: "Aunt Zhang, good."

"Xiao Mo, hello, I often hear your father mentioning you. When your father heard that you came back, he has already reserved a private room for you in South Beauty. He will welcome you tonight."

"Oh, thank you." Li Xiaomo squeezed out a smile from his stiff face. It turned out that this was the reason why his father urged him to go home. It seems that his father has already tried to find a stepmother for him, and she is still such a young stepmother. .

"Chunli, let's go together, the family will have a meal together and welcome our son." Li Chenfu extended an invitation to He Chunli.

"As I said just now, I don't want to go, and Xiao Mo is tired, so it's better not to let him go. I'll take him home and cook him something to eat." He Chunli refused.

"Sister, go, Lao Li has already booked the wine table." The young woman also tried her best to persuade her to stay.

He Chunli pretended to smile and said: "No, you two go eat, Xiao Mo, let's go, let's go home." As she said that, she was about to pull Xiao Mo to leave.Li Xiaomo looked at Li Chenfu's embarrassed face, and pulled back He Chunli's hand forcefully.

"Mom, let's go. Since the meal has been ordered, don't waste it." He Chunli was disappointed when she heard her son say this, but she didn't say anything after all, and acquiesced.

Li Chenfu was very happy, and hurriedly led everyone to the parking lot. Li Xiaomo found that just after solving one problem, another problem emerged.It turned out that the parents did not drive the same car, but each drove their own car.He Chunli drives a white BMW M3, which Li Xiaomo bought when he was at home. Now that Li Chenfu has moved out of his previous home, he bought himself a black GL-class AMG.The two cars also stayed at both ends of the passage as if angry, and the problem came true.He Chunli asked Li Xiaomo to put the salute in his car, but Li Chenfu refused. He asked Li Xiaomo to go directly to his newly renovated house after dinner, so the salute should naturally be placed in his car.Li Xiaomo hurriedly stood up, for fear that the two of them would quarrel over such a trivial matter.Everyone has the shadow of a child. Some people keep a child-like heart all their lives. Sadness is easily forgotten, and happiness is kept for a long time. Li Xiaomo feels that his parents are just the opposite.On the road of emotion, there are two sets of children's brains, confused and naive, and all the toys want to be taken back to their own rooms.This kind of confusion did not decrease because of the increase in age, but as the two people's new worries and old hatreds increased, a small matter might become the fuse of the dispute.

"Dad, you brought Aunt Zhang today, so you can go with her. Mom and I share a car. After dinner, I will go home and stay for a few days. By the way, I will put some old textbooks home. God, I'll live with you again." Li Xiaomo's mind was running fast, and he found such a reason.When He Chunli heard what Li Xiaomo said, she looked smug.Li Chenfu had no choice but to agree, and helped his son put the salute in the trunk of He Chunli's car.

Li Xiaomo got into the car and put on his seat belt. He Chunli started the car and followed Li Chenfu's car out of the underground parking lot.Li Xiaomo found that it was already raining patter outside.

"Xiao Mo, why are you still so thin? Didn't you eat well outside?" He Chunli said distressedly.

"Mom, I've always been like this. It's not like you don't know. I can eat very well, but I don't get fat. How is your business?" Li Xiaomo always felt that he rarely talked to his parents. In order to find something to talk about, he chose a Parents are most concerned about the topic.

"It's very good. I invested in another factory this year and started production. Now our company's detergent products are no longer limited to the southern market, but have entered the northern market. The production scale has expanded. Some time ago, I Go to Ma’anshan to recruit people. Now it’s hard to find workers. The local wages in Hefei are growing very fast, and the cost of production is under great pressure. You have to study hard, and you can come to the company to help Mom share some of the burden in the future, so Mom won’t be so tired.”

As soon as he talked about business, He Chunli's chatterbox opened up and she couldn't control it.At that time, Li Chenfu and He Chunli both entered the sea from a chemical research institute and founded a concentrated detergent company. Later, they separated to start a business. He Chunli withdrew her shares and founded the current table detergent company.Speaking of which, both of them are the kind of workaholic people. Although they compete in different directions, one for clothes and the other for meals, they are chasing after each other in terms of performance. Coupled with their unique business acumen, the two of them The business is doing well.

"How is my dad's business?"

"What can he do? Isn't he just like that? Now that he is on good terms with the vixen who manages the finances of their company, how can he care about his career?" He Chunli said with a look of contempt on his face.

Li Xiaomo tried his best not to talk about that woman, but it was inevitable that he would get involved.He simply asked, "Mom, what's Aunt Zhang's name, and how long have you been with the company?"

"Zhang Qian, I have been in your father's company for more than a year. They got together shortly after your father and I divorced. Look at her charming appearance. How could your father fall in love with her?"

Li Xiaomo finally couldn't help it anymore: "Mom, my dad has already divorced you, and there is no relationship between you. He is free to associate with any kind of woman. Although I also feel that my dad brought her to see her today. Me, the timing wasn't right, but I think we should still respect him."

When He Chunli heard what Li Xiaomo said, her face darkened, she stopped talking, her eyes stared indifferently at the way forward.After a while, various business calls poured in one after another, and Li Xiaomo simply tilted his head and stared at the rain falling from the window when he was free.

The raindrops hit the car window lightly, before they had time to stop, they were blown away by the rushing wind and slid down, no matter how hard the raindrops tried, they couldn't stay on the car window.But no matter what, Yu knows that his ultimate home is the earth, and Li Xiaomo seems to know where his home is, but he forgot how to get back...

☆, 16. The meaning of time is like this table of food, no one knows how to cherish it

This chain store has not been opened for a long time, and Li Xiaomo hasn't been here yet.South Beauty takes the route of fashionable Sichuan cuisine, and the decoration is exquisite and gorgeous.As a seasoned foodie, Li Xiaomo is familiar with the signature dishes of various cuisines.In his mind, Sichuan cuisine has always been the most affordable.Sichuan cuisine can be spread all over China. Apart from the signature spicy taste, the most important thing is that many dishes are made from the most common ingredients, but they can produce amazing taste, and the dishes are prepared quickly. Suitable for commercial dissemination.Li Xiaomo really wanted to taste the taste of South Beauty.

Everyone sat in a reserved private room, Li Chenfu sat in the upper seat, next to Li Xiaomo and Zhang Qian, and He Chunli sat next to Li Xiaomo.Li Chenfu knew that his son liked to eat, so he asked him to look at the menu first, but Li Xiaomo politely asked Zhang Qian to order first, then let his parents choose, and finally he was himself.It didn't take long, and a table of exquisite meals was served.Li Xiaomo stared at a series of fragrant dishes such as Kung Pao giant prawns, double-cooked Dong Xingban, boiled beef, Rongcheng mouthwatering chicken, stone pot sauce roasted radish, etc., and his mouth watered instantly.After everyone toasted, Li Xiaomo tasted the food, and it tasted really good.Accompanied by delicious food, Li Xiaomo's gloomy mood just now cleared up a little.But the cruelty of life is like a ruthless beast. If you want to buy it with a table of delicious food, it must be futile. After a short pause, it will definitely show its ferocious face again.No, this fellow, already impatient and manic, began to growl.

If there are two things that Li Xiaomo hates about his parents the most, then the number one thing is actually not quarrels, but the never-ending phone ringing of his parents.Li Xiaomo was just talking to Li Chenfu about his school's study situation, when Li Chenfu's phone rang.He Fu saw Li Xiaomo frowned, but he still picked it up.Li Chenfu got up humming, opened the door and turned to the corridor.

As soon as Li Chenfu left, Zhang Qian, who was already nervous, became even more embarrassed.Li Xiaomo felt that he couldn't bear it, so he ignored He Chunli who kept a dark face and started talking to Zhang Qian.Li Xiaomo learned that Zhang Qian is now the company's chief financial officer. She graduated from Jiangxi Finance and Economics as a graduate student.Zhang Qian and Li Chenfu have been together for more than a year, and the relationship between the two has always been very good.Li Xiaomo could tell that Zhang Qian was a very self-cultivated woman, beautiful, quiet, and decent, she should be the type that Dad likes.Li Xiaomo didn't dare to neglect He Chunli, and turned her head to pick up some food for He Chunli. Zhang Qian also thoughtfully spun the new food in front of He Chunli.When He Chunli saw her son pick up vegetables for herself, she had a frozen face and a slight expression, but she just gently picked up a small piece and put it in her mouth, eating very little.

"Mom, eat more, you can see that you are much thinner than when you were in the Chinese New Year."

"It's okay, I did it on purpose, I'm losing weight."

"My mother is so beautiful, she doesn't need to lose weight, she already has a good figure." Li Xiaomo tried his best to make He Chunli happy.

Zhang Qian also echoed on the side: "Yes, my sister's figure is really in good shape, which makes me envious."

He Chunli just smiled at Li Xiaomo and ignored Zhang Qian.

After more than ten minutes, Li Chenfu came in, and Li Xiaomo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling uncomfortable.Before Li Chenfu sat down and took a few bites, He Chunli's phone rang.He Chunli signaled to her son and went out to answer the phone.Within a few minutes, Zhang Qian's phone rang.After answering the phone, he whispered to Li Chenfu, "Lao Li, my ICBC friend said that their president Zhang is also entertaining employees in South Beauty. Shall we go over and toast?"

"President Zhang is here, so I must go. Have you found out which room it is?" Li Chenfu asked anxiously.

"Ask clearly, will it be over now?"

"Go now, I'm afraid they will leave later. Son, you eat slowly with your mother here, and I will go with your Aunt Zhang and come back." Li Chenfu picked up the bag and patted his son's head.

Li Xiaomo just nodded, without speaking or expression.This is not the first time, I ate alone.

Just like this, Li Xiaomo sat alone in front of this luxurious table of meals, picked up and ate the dishes by himself, stuffed his mouth full, the spicy food oppressed the trachea, his lungs suddenly coughed violently, and tears came out from the choking , flowing in the mouth, salty.

Suddenly, in Li Xiaomo's mind, a sentence that Zhang Ailing once said appeared: life is a gorgeous robe, full of lice.

☆, 17. On a cold rainy night, only your voice can bring me warmth

Li Xiaomo forgot how he stumbled back.The parents' chattering quarrel was still ringing in my ears.In South Beauty, after He Chunli came in, it took a long time for Li Chenfu and Zhang Qian to come back. He Chunli blamed Li Chenfu for not being with Li Xiaomo, and Li Chenfu felt that He Chunli had lost her own person, and the two began to quarrel. They were all pulled out to dry.

The two seem to be very addicted to this kind of quarreling game, spitting stars flying around, and their emotions are in full swing, as if they didn't notice that Li Xiaomo, who is sandwiched between them, is drinking a bottle of white wine just opened, waiting for Zhang Qian to find out At the time, Li Xiaomo had already drunk more than half of it.He Chunli and Li Chenfu became anxious all of a sudden, and were about to stop Li Xiaomo, when Li Xiaomo raised his head and stared at the two of them with a pale face. It was also sprinkled everywhere, and people even slipped off their chairs and became unconscious.Li Chenfu became anxious all of a sudden, and hurriedly carried him to the hospital.

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor checked and said that it was a cold from Tianliang combined with excessive drinking, which caused abnormal Qi and blood and caused temporary shock.After the emergency treatment, Li Xiaomo woke up, and the doctor put another bottle of intravenous drip, prescribed some medicine, and let him go home to recuperate.

Li Chenfu and Zhang Qian helped He Chunli and sent Li Xiaomo home. The three of them looked sorry, but Li Xiaomo closed his eyes and didn't want to talk. Later, Li Chenfu and Zhang Qian left.Seeing Li Xiaomo like this, He Chunli cried out in distress.Li Xiaomo heard it, but his heart softened, so he opened his eyes and said that he was fine, just get some sleep, don't worry too much.He asked He Chunli to help him pour a cup of hot water, and then asked He Chunli to rest.

The rain was still falling outside the window, it was already eleven o'clock at night, in the dark room, Li Xiaomo, who was cold all over, wanted to hear Uncle Zhan's voice, so he took out his mobile phone, and there happened to be Uncle Zhan in the phone For missed calls, lightly dial.

"Hey, Uncle, have you slept yet? I'm sorry to bother you so late."

"Xiao Mo, did you get home safely? Uncle is still asleep. He was dealing with the duck he just killed. Were you busy just now?"

"Yes, I'm home and everything is fine."

"Xiao Mo, what's wrong with you, your voice is so weak."

"Uncle, I'm fine, I just miss you very much."

"Hehe, this kid, uncle has been thinking about you, and wants to see you every day."

"Uncle, tonight, our family had dinner together, and my dad brought his new girlfriend with him, but I don't think this meal can compare to any meal I ate at your house." Speaking of this, Li Xiaomo Big teardrops rolled down on the bed sheet, but he still held back his sobs, he didn't want Uncle Zhan to worry about him, after all it was so late.

"Haha, you are a glutton, the things at Uncle's house are definitely not as good as those in your big cities, but as long as you like it, you can come to play more in the future, Uncle will cook for you every day, and Uncle can send you some things."

"Thank you Uncle, I will often go to your house for dinner in the future." Li Xiaomo's heart began to warm up.

"Xiaomo, last time you came to my house, our family liked you very much. My wife also wanted to say, introduce my daughter to you as a girlfriend. I don't know if you would like it, haha?"

"Hehe, Uncle, don't make fun of me!" Li Xiaomo opened his mouth and smiled.

"Of course uncle knows that this kind of thing can't be messed up, so I told your aunt that it's time for you to study hard, so it's better not to say such things."

"Hey, uncle, you understand me."

The two chatted for a long time before hanging up the phone.

Li Xiaomo hugged the quilt and slowly fell into a sweet dreamland.

☆, 18. The heart is full of joy, open to Tumi

Li Xiaomo originally planned to stay at home for two weeks, but he changed his mind. In the end, he also sought Uncle Zhan's opinion. He planned to meet up with the two of them a week later and start a trip to Beijing.The reason why Li Xiaomo did this was because it was too lonely to stay in an empty home.Li Xiaomo often asks himself, what is home and does he have a home?If a home is a house, a bed, and a set of kitchen utensils, then you have your own home, but if your home is a group of people who rely on each other warmly, then Li Xiaomo does not have it.

He Chunli went out early and returned late every day, and Li Xiaomo stayed at home for four days, and there were only pitifully few face-to-face meetings.The theme of the phone call at noon is also constant, that is, He Chunli asked Li Xiaomo to order some takeaway, and if the house needs to be cleaned, he can call the part-time worker.In fact, this mother doesn't know her child at all, he has grown up.When Li Xiaomo used to live on campus in high school, he often secretly cooked supper with his roommates in the dormitory.The school's voltage was not enough, so they bought transformer sockets themselves.From the very beginning of cooking instant noodles, cooking hot pot, cooking noodles, cooking porridge, and later upgrading to pressing the rice cooker with a shovel, the clever Li Xiaomo can cook simple dishes in it.After going to college, Li Xiaomo would often make something with the induction cooker in the dormitory.He likes to eat, and also likes to study. He pays special attention to nutrition and combination, and his cooking skills have improved rapidly.His roommates all praised his delicious food.Even though he knew that these lazy hungry wolves, as long as someone cooked them, even if they cut them raw, they would definitely say they were delicious.But after all, it is comfortable to have praise.

At home, Li Xiaomo went out to buy some vegetables, made porridge for breakfast, mixed cucumber with soy sauce and vinegar, fried meat and vegetables at noon, and stewed pork rib soup at night. He also specially left a portion of the soup for He Chunli In the refrigerator, put a note on the refrigerator.On the first night, he was reading a book in the upstairs room, and when he was falling asleep, he heard He Chunli shouting from below: "Xiao Mo, where did you buy the pork rib soup? It tastes really good. Are you still hungry?" Hungry, do you want to come down and drink?" Li Xiaomo was amused, he said he wasn't hungry, and asked He Chunli to drink it all, but didn't go down.For the next few nights, Li Xiaomo kept the stew for He Chunli every night. He Chunli might have noticed that it was Li Xiaomo's stew, and called at noon the next day, and even praised Li Xiaomo.Of course, Li Xiaomo's growth is not limited to this.He didn't invite part-time workers to clean the house, and he did all the cleaning by himself.He was wearing a pair of flip flops, sweeping, mopping, dusting, and arranging the furniture. In a huge villa, the sound of Li Xiaomo's shoes dragging rhythmically echoed inside.Later, he felt too lonely, so he simply put on some rock music and turned the volume to the maximum.After cleaning, Li Xiaomo lay tired on the sofa in the living room reading a book, not wanting to move anymore.

In the next three days, they moved to Li Chenfu's newly bought villa, and they still did the same things, cooking, reading, and cleaning. It was rare to meet Li Chenfu.The only time was one night, around eleven o'clock, Li Chenfu was drunk and sent back by Zhang Qian.Zhang Qian said that Li Chenfu was drunk while accompanying clients.Li Xiaomo and Zhang Qian staggered, supported Li Chenfu together, climbed up the stairs, and put him on the bed.Seeing that Li Xiaomo was living at home, Zhang Qian didn't plan to stay. Li Xiaomo also felt that it was getting late, and took the initiative to take care of Li Chenfu, so that Zhang Qian could go home early with peace of mind.Li Xiaomo helped Li Chenfu warm milk to sober up, boiled hot water for him to drink, and then used a wet towel to apply to his face.The last person took off Li Chenfu's alcohol-stained clothes with difficulty, threw them into the washing machine, and covered him with a quilt for him to sleep.Li Xiaomo didn't go to sleep until the clothes were washed and hung up to dry, and Li Chenfu had fallen asleep and confirmed that there was nothing serious.

Li Chenfu woke up in the morning and found that there was cooked millet porridge in the pot. Li Xiaomo sent him a text message on his phone, telling him to drink more millet porridge to nourish his stomach, and asked him to drink more.At this time Li Xiaomo had already returned to his home.In the afternoon, I got together with some good friends from high school, packed my things in the evening, and prepared to go to Xiamen to pick up Uncle Zhan the next day.

Originally, we could have met Uncle Zhan directly in Beijing, but because Uncle Zhan was on a plane for the first time, Li Xiaomo still wanted to take him with him.More importantly, Li Xiaomo cherishes every moment he spends with Uncle Zhan.Because of the existence of Uncle Zhan, every scene on the road will definitely be particularly exciting.

When Li Xiaomo thought about seeing Uncle Zhan, he was very happy and drove to Tumi.

☆, 19. Happy heart, let fly in the sky

After Li Xiaomo arrived at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, he rushed to the train station by taxi.Along the way, lush vines in summer covered the viaducts along the way.The hot and humid sea breeze blows in from the car window again. This familiar smell seems to welcome a familiar person.Last time, it was also a sunny day with the sun shining. Uncle Zhan was waiting for Li Xiaomo at the train station in the small town. Today, Li Xiaomo was waiting for Uncle Zhan at the station in midsummer.

Uncle Zhan dragged his suitcase, wore a pair of sunglasses, and walked out of the train station gracefully with strong footsteps.As expected of someone who used to be a soldier, before he arrived, a strong aura had already rushed towards him.Li Xiaomo couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and waved vigorously to Uncle Zhan from a distance.What made Li Xiaomo even more happy was that Uncle Zhan walked up to him, took off his sunglasses, opened his arms and gave him a big hug.The thick palm, still on his thin back, patted affectionately.

"Xiao Mo, you're too thin, knocking on my uncle's hand." Uncle Zhan still didn't forget to joke, and stared at Li Xiaomo tenderly.The distance between the two was very close, and Li Xiaomo could feel Uncle Zhan's breath.

"Uncle, when you come out this time, can the business aunt be busy alone?"

My family supports me to come out and play, and I also want to relax and gain knowledge.”

"Uncle, just make arrangements, don't delay your business, and don't make auntie work too hard."

"Don't worry, Xiao Mo, the ticket is booked, right?"

"It's ready, it's been booked the day before yesterday. When I was at home last night, I had already checked in and printed the boarding pass in advance. Then we can just board the plane. I specially selected a window seat for you. The location is not too bumpy, and you can enjoy the scenery outside the window along the way."

"Haha, thank you."

Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan that there were three hours before the plane took off, so Uncle Zhan turned his back on customers and took Li Xiaomo to a seafood restaurant next to the train station, where he ordered a table of sumptuous meals.In the end, Li Xiaomo quietly paid the money under the pretext of going to the toilet.As a result, Uncle Zhan was angry
