Chapter Twenty-Eight: Warmth

After the door opened, a woman who looked thirty or forty years old appeared, wearing a hairpin on her head, wearing a cheongsam-style dress, but with a scarf tied around her waist for cooking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My son! But I miss my aunt. Li Mu's aunt had a little crying in her voice.

"Auntie, let's go into the house first, Director Zhao is still standing outside." Li Mu was hugged by her in front of Zhao Wenhuai, his face was a little hot, and he looked at Zhao Wenhuai a little helplessly.

"Okay, you ruthless child." Li Mu's aunt let go of Li Mu, complained about Li Mu, looked at Zhao Wenhuai and said, "Xiao Zhao, Xiao Su come in and sit, why do you take these things every time you come?" She reached out to take the gift from Zhao Wenhuai's hand, but Zhao Wenhuai dodged it.

"I'm coming, it's quite heavy, so I won't work for Professor Rong. Professor Tang hasn't come back yet? Zhao Wenhuai entered the room to see that there was no Professor Tang in the room, so he asked.

"He said to the office, and now he hasn't come back, you call his office and ask him to come back." Aunt Li Mu said that she didn't treat Zhao Wenhuai as an outsider, and her words were very cordial and natural.

When Li Mu put down the things, she grabbed Li Mu's hand and said, "Let Auntie take a good look at you." He looked at Li Mu carefully from top to bottom, and finally said with satisfaction: "My Muzi is more handsome than last year." ”

Li Mu was a little embarrassed by her, after all, there was still Zhao Wenhuai here. He asked, "Auntie, are your shoulders better?" How do you feel now? ”

"It's okay, after letting the doctor see it, there has been no recurrence in the past two months. Are you still used to living in Liangjiang? Are you used to eating rice here? Aunt Li Mu asked with concern.

This simple sentence moved Li Mu again, and he felt a little guilty. Since he was a child, his aunt has never cared less for him, and has always regarded himself as their son. But I haven't really been close to them, I still remember one time, when I was eleven or twelve, they wanted to take themselves to Hezhou to live, and they had already said that they had moved their grandfather, but they were stubborn and didn't come, and they said some hurtful things, which made my aunt cry sadly.

After going to college, he has always used the excuse of busy studies and long distances, and would rather spend himself alone on holidays than come to Hezhou to accompany them, and every time they come to see him. Although Li Mu has not shown his feelings, he has always remembered them in his heart.

"Get used to it, get used to it, you don't have to worry about me. This time I went abroad, did you go around and relax? ”

"Are you still distracted? I just want to come back early outside, it's too unfortunate to be in a hurry at this time, we go abroad, you come to Liangjiang. Thinking about what will happen to you all day long when you come abroad, I don't even have the heart to play. Suddenly, she remembered something, looked at Li Mu and asked, "Muzi, I handed you the key to your room when I left, why didn't you come to stay?" Do you really dislike your aunt here? ”

"No, auntie. How could I dislike you? Li Mu gently shook her hand and said, "I lost the key, so I ......" He didn't want to make his aunt sad, so he had to say that the key was lost.

Aunt Li Mu was a little pleased with Li Mu's movements, Li Mu had never shown such intimate movements, and preached: "You kid, why are you so careless? Can you lose your keys? But she no longer delved into whether Li Mu's words were true or false, she knew that Li Mu had not been close to them since she was a child, and she was very satisfied to be able to come to Liangjiang this time.

"It's true, I don't lie to you." Li Mu said seriously.

"This kid probably didn't tell the truth, he has been in Liangjiang for a few months, and I don't even know it's your nephew." Zhao Wenhuai finished the phone call and interjected a sentence in the middle.

"Then you didn't ask, I can't always talk about the names of my aunt and uncle." Li Mu gradually let go in front of Zhao Wenhuai, and when he was at home, if he still looked very formal, it would be a bit out of place.

"Yes, yes, Muzi is still sensible." The aunt touched Li Mu's head lovingly, and looked at him lovingly.

"Look, after Li Mu came, the two of us were completely absent in Professor Rong's eyes." Zhao Wenhuai turned to his wife and said with a smile, and asked Professor Rong specifically: "Professor Rong, are we redundant?" ”

"If you do leave, I won't stop you." My aunt said this, and everyone laughed.

Li Mu realized that the relationship between Zhao Wenhuai and his uncle's family must be not shallow, and they spoke together naturally and cordially, really like a conversation between relatives.

"When did you come back?" After laughing, my aunt asked.

"I just came back in the afternoon, and then I picked up the lotus, and I came over together." Zhao Wenhuai said. The Caihe he he was talking about was his wife----- Su Caihe.

"Then why don't you call in advance, I also prepare some dishes, by the way, the rice is still cooking, you do it first, I'll cook for you." My aunt reacted, and just now she only cared about talking, forgetting about cooking.

"Professor Rong, don't bother, let's go eat outside." Zhao Wenhuai stood up and stopped his aunt from letting her be busy.

"Where is the home outside? You can do it with peace of mind, I'll just cook a few more dishes. The aunt took Zhao Wenhuai's hand away and walked towards the kitchen.

"I'll help you." Su Caihe also walked towards the kitchen.

Professor Rong and Su Caihe entered the kitchen, and only Li Mu and Zhao Wenhuai were left in the living room. Zhao Wenhuai looked at Li Mu with a smile, his expression was very different from the past, he completely lost his usual seriousness, only ease and harmony. Li Mu thought for a while and said secretly: "That's right, Zhao Wenhuai's working hours are very serious on weekdays, but when he returns home, he is still like this, or how tired he is." Thinking like this, it is also relieved.

"I can't see it, Professor Rong cares about you, why haven't you heard them mention you? Haven't seen you here yet? The meaning of his words also secretly revealed that his relationship with Aunt Li Mu's family was unusual.

"Hehe......" Li Mu smiled a little embarrassedly and didn't answer, it's hard to explain. He digressed the subject and asked, "Do you come here often?" ”

"Well, I'll come over when I have some time. Professor Tang and Professor Rong have no children under their knees, and they are getting older, so it is inevitable that they will be a little lonely. Zhao Wenhuai said casually, and he changed his words and said: "But after you come, you may not need us, I haven't seen Professor Rong so close to any junior." ”

Li Mu looked at him suspiciously, not knowing who the junior he was talking about, but he didn't ask, he smiled innocently and said, "No, you often come to see them, aunt, they will definitely be very happy, how can they not need it?" ”

"That's probably about you, right? You are Professor Rong's nephew, why haven't I seen or heard of it? Zhao Wenhuai asked a more sensitive topic, but he didn't know.

This question has always been a hidden pain in Li Mu's heart, and he never wants to mention it, nor does he ever think about it. He doesn't want to be close to his aunt, and he also has this psychological disorder. Now that Zhao Wenhuai didn't know the situation and asked, Li Mu nodded a little unnaturally and said, "Yes, you have been working in Liangjiang, how can you ......" Li Mu asked suspiciously.

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Wenhuai took over and said, "How do you know Professor Tang's family, right?" Speaking of which, we can also pull up the relationship. My cousin is Professor Tang's cousin, and Professor Tang is a relative in Liangjiang, and I am also his student, so I come to play more, and I can get to know some of their relatives when I walk around during the New Year's holidays. Zhao Wenhuai explained.

Li Mu was a little relieved, it is indeed not easy to have a distant relative in Liangjiang, he heard his colleagues in the department say that the identity of the director is more background, but he didn't say why, listening to the meaning of Zhao Wenhuai's words, he is obviously not from Liangjiang.

The two were chatting when they heard a knock on the door. Thinking that Professor Tang must be back, they all got up to greet him.

Coming in was an old man with gray hair and some obvious wrinkles on his face, but he was very energetic, and he came in with a lesson plan in his hand, and Zhao Wenhuai said first: "Professor Tang, I brought Li Mu back to you." ”

Li Mu stepped forward to take the lesson plan in Professor Tang's hand and called "uncle".

He first said to Zhao Wenhuai: "Xiao Zhao is here, sit down." Looking at Li Mu, his expression was obviously a little excited, but he just said twice, "Okay, good." ”

He paused, calmed down, and said to the two of them, "Sit down." He sat on the sofa first, and Li Mu and Zhao Wenhuai also sat down.

"When did you come back? Don't have a phone call beforehand? After Professor Tang sat down, he chatted about homely things.

"I just came back this afternoon, and I also want to surprise you. It's a surprise, right? Zhao Wenhuai said with a smile.

"Well, Li Mu, are you still used to coming here? How's the work? Professor Tang looked at Li Mu and asked.

"Habit, I'm fine here, you don't have to worry." Li Mu replied. He looked at Professor Tang's gray hair and said, "Why are you still working so hard?" Look at you and your aunt don't look like husband and wife at all. ”

"Huh? Muzi, how did you learn to make fun of people? Professor Tang looked at Li Mu with some surprise, he knew Li Mu's previous personality, he was usually not like a young man, he didn't expect to joke with himself, but this change made him very happy.

Li Mu didn't notice the change in himself, he just thought about it, and said it, and when Professor Tang said this, he was a little embarrassed, so he smiled and didn't speak.

"Wen Huai, how is Muzi with you?" Professor Tang looked at Zhao Wenhuai and said, there was no lack of relationship between the words.

"It's okay, but sometimes it's a little unmotivated." Zhao Wenhuai couldn't say anything to praise Li Mu in front of him, in fact, he just wanted to praise Li Mu, and he wouldn't say it directly. But in front of Professor Tang, he can't belittle Li Mu too much, he doesn't have to worry about Li Mu's thoughts, but he has to take care of Professor Tang's emotions.

"So you're not satisfied? If young people don't get motivated, you should lash them more, and you should be disciplined and scolded. Don't care about my thoughts, although I like Li Mu, I won't spoil him. Professor Tang looked at Li Mu and said, not hiding his feelings at all.

In fact, there is no need to hide this, and Zhao Wenhuai can also see it clearly. Regarding Li Mu's arrival, although Professor Tang was not as obvious as Professor Rong, it was more like a feeling of fatherly love, and not many words could reveal his feelings.

"You can rest assured, even if you don't have a relationship, I will train him well." Zhao Wenhuai nodded and said.
