"Okay, so it should be fine."
Li Mengnan put the wrench back in the toolbox, unscrewed the freshly repaired faucet and washed his hands.
Xiao Bao'er has been following Li Mengnan like a fart to watch him repair things, and when she saw this, she hurriedly handed over the towel and said with a look of adoration: "Brother, how can you repair everything?" ”
"Huh? Isn't that normal? ”
Li Mengnan is really not modest this time, the village where he lives is very remote, and if he wants to buy something, he usually has to put on a carriage and walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to the county seat to catch the market.
So in their village, the men in every family will master some crafts, and if something is broken at home, they will basically repair it casually, and they will expect maintenance workers to come to the door for everything, and there will be no need to live that day, so Li Mengnan's ability is really nothing.
Compared with those "powerful" people in the village, he is a carpenter, and the others are half-baked at the level, and he can still deal with small problems, and he is still blind when he encounters big work.
"The boys in our class are so stupid that they can't even change a light bulb."
Xiao Bao'er doesn't know so much, anyway, in her opinion, none of the boys she knows can cultivate so many things at the same time.
"Actually, I can't completely fix it, I can only deal with it for a period of time, and if possible, it's better to replace it with a new one."
Li Mengnan felt that it was still necessary to remind him that he didn't want the tall image he had just established in Xiao Bao'er's heart to collapse because of a leaky water pipe.
Xiao Bao'er couldn't help but look stunned, and said in a low tone: "This ...... I have to ask my sister, although the money is earned by my mother, it is my sister who manages it. ”
Li Mengnan was stunned, he actually just said it casually, he didn't expect that such a simple sentence could touch Xiao Bao'er's heart, and he even had to think twice about buying a new faucet, it seems that the Xiao family's economic situation is probably already in a tight situation.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Li Mengnan stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Bao'er's soft hair, he knew that for the three mothers and daughters of the Xiao family, any verbal comfort was useless, the difficult life had already overwhelmed them, and no matter how beautiful words were, they could not be more useful than a banknote.
Dinner was leftovers from noon, and after dinner, while Minnie Mouse and Xiao Baoer went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Li Mengnan found Xiao Hui in the main house and planned to talk to her.
Li Mengnan didn't go around the bend, and went straight to the point: "Mom, I want to ask you one thing, I found that no matter Minnie Mouse or Bao'er, they never mentioned their father, what happened?" ”
"I knew you'd ask about it sooner or later." Xiao Hui put down the clothes she was folding in her hand, frowned, and let out a long sigh, "I didn't want to tell you about this matter, but this is not a secret after all, if you have the heart, you can also know that it is not far from ten if you ask the neighbors around, so I won't hide it from you." ”
Li Mengnan saw Xiao Hui's expression of "it's a long story", so he simply moved a small horse to sit in front of her, looking up at her like a primary school student listening to a story.
Minnie Mouse is also a bitter child, when she was two years old, her biological mother left her and disappeared, rumored to have run away with a rich boss, but it is not known whether this rumor can be true.
That's when I met Miton...... That is, Minnie's father, he is very painful because of the departure of his ex-wife, I think it is not easy for him to bring a child, and Minnie's child is also beautiful and cute, and I often help him within my ability, and I have a relationship with him, and we got married a year later with the help of the people around me.
Mi Tong didn't have any big skills, but he was down-to-earth, he was working in a rubber products factory at that time, and I was in the Land Bureau, and my life was happy and happy.
But the good times didn't last long, when Minnie was ten years old, the rubber products factory closed down, Mi Tong was also laid off, he didn't look for other jobs, but he was originally just a clerical staff, no technology, and it was difficult for college graduates to find jobs every year, let alone a middle-aged man with only a high school education.
Probably because of the psychological pressure, since then, Mi Tong has become more and more irritable, first drinking at home all day, and then he became addicted to gambling, and the family's savings were all lost at that time, and he even owed **** foreign debts outside on my back.
The Liu Feifei you saw today is just one of them, but the other creditors are not bad, it is not easy to see our orphans and widows, and those who don't owe much will be exempted from us directly, and they haven't urged much, just say when they will pay it back.
Oh, that's off the beaten track...... Originally, this family could barely maintain, but just half a year ago, Bao'er was found to have uremia, and she could only change her kidney if she wanted to be cured. ”
"He ran away?" Although Li Mengnan often sees this kind of scum who abandons his wife and children on the news, he still feels a little incredible when he encounters it in reality.
Xiao Hui shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter whether he is escaping or really going out to work." ”
Li Mengnan could see that Xiao Hui didn't want to delve into this matter, and he could also understand that they should be a husband and wife who shared hardships, but one of them left his side at the most difficult time, no matter what the reason, that sense of betrayal would be a pain that could never be erased in his heart.
Xiao Hui can hold on all the time because she can't let go of Minnie Mouse and the sick Xiao Bao'er.
"How much does it cost to get a kidney replacement for Boa?"
Li Mengnan is somewhat similar to Minnie Mouse in a certain way, unwilling to go too far into what has happened, and preferring to focus on solving problems.
"According to the doctor, even if the problem of kidney source can be solved, but a series of expenses such as surgery fees will be at least about six or seven hundred thousand, and if you go to a better hospital, one million is possible."
Xiao Hui's tone showed a hint of hardship, but her stubborn expression was extremely desperate, although she didn't want to give up, she had to admit that the hundreds of thousands of surgery fees were an astronomical amount that she could never make up for a living by setting up a stall.
"Mom, you...... Haven't you looked for my dad? ”
Of course, Li Mengnan is talking about Li Hongming, although he doesn't know what the Ding family does, but with the financial resources shown by the Ding family, it is not more difficult to take out a million than an ordinary family to take out a hundred.
