It was late at night, and the big bell in the center of the city rang a low and melodious eleven rings.

In the distance, a few star-like lights went out from time to time, and most of them were darkened one after another.

Once again, the city fell into a silent slumber.

"It's really time for me to go."

Minnie's fingertips gently brushed the kiss mark under Li Mengnan's neck, pulled the collar to cover it carefully, and the movements were as gentle as a little wife who was sorting out her husband's clothes before going out.

"It's just the opposite room, so you don't have to create this atmosphere like you're going to go far away, right?"

Li Mengnan smiled, and subconsciously touched his backhand, which was still a little hot.

On the KTV before, he noticed that although Minnie Mouse looks arrogant and cold on the outside, she is a very wild girl in her bones, which is the legendary "upright" physique.

Perhaps even Minnie herself didn't realize that her body's reaction actually represented her true nature, and her so-called sanity was the culprit that had been suppressing her nature.

Of course, it is not that her nature is so profligate, maybe she is only more active in some aspects, but the suppression of long-term savings is suddenly released in a short time, and the weak candle flame is enough to set off a monstrous flame.

"I'm really leaving......"

Minnie didn't know why she didn't move, but wanted to repeat this completely unnutritious sentence again.

But she had a faint feeling that once she really turned around and left, her relationship with Li Mengnan would never go back to the present.

It was a duty to turn around and continue to look for his ideal MR. right？ Or follow the inner feeling at the moment and start a love of ordinary people who really belong to you?

She still couldn't make a choice, and subconsciously set her eyes on Li Mengnan's body.

"It's so close, you don't need me to send you, do you?" Li Mengnan smiled as if unconsciously.

"You...... Isn't there anything else to say? Minnie couldn't help but bite her lower lip.

Say yes, say you like me, say let me be your girlfriend...... Maybe I'll still hesitate, I'll still be embarrassed, I'll still not know what is right or wrong, but at least I don't have to choose.

The gap between the ideal and the reality is always very large, and the gentle and romantic noble son in the illusion seems to have been beaten back to the original form of the incomprehensible hanging silk with the disappearance of magic, Li Mengnan seems to not understand her hints at all, just looks at her blankly.

"That'...... Forget it, I'm leaving. ”

Minnie turned around with a lonely expression, and suddenly felt as if a large piece of her heart had been hollowed out by something.

It's strange, obviously there is no right or wrong choice between the two choices, why do you suddenly feel so sad? Chao Qin Duchu, is he really still too greedy?

Taking a deep breath in the cool night breeze, Minnie Mouse forcibly dispelled the sadness in her heart, and showed her sweetest smile to Li Mengnan again.

That might be the best ending...... Since you can't give your heart to him completely, let's continue to be a familiar stranger.

Minnie Mouse opened her arms, intending to draw a happy end to a short but infinitely beautiful night of hugging, but at this time, the key suddenly sounded at the courtyard gate, and a moment later, Xiao Hui, who was dusty, pushed the door from the outside.

"Huh? Nan, Nier, why are you two here? ”

Seeing the two people in the courtyard, Xiao Hui was obviously a little surprised.

"Oh, I can't sleep, come out to breathe, I just happened to meet him." Minnie Mouse hurriedly raised her outstretched arms upwards, pretending to stretch her waist.

"Oh, I thought you two were waiting for me in the courtyard."

Probably because the two are nominally brother and sister, Xiao Hui didn't think about it in a more complicated way, but Minnie's attitude towards Li Mengnan at the moment was abnormal, which made her a little confused.

However, the harmony between parents and daughters is what she has always hoped for, and she can only be gratified by this.

Minnie Mouse stepped forward to take a few plastic bags from Xiao Hui's hand, closed the courtyard door casually, and asked, "Mom, why did you come back so early today?" ”

In the past, Xiao Hui used to close the stall at half past eleven, and it was often around twelve o'clock when she got home, and if it rained unexpectedly, it might be later.

"If you're happy today, you'll get it early."

In fact, even needless to say, Xiao Hui's happiness was obviously written on her face.

"All the stews sold out today?" Minnie asked tentatively.

The last time my mother was so happy was the time when she unexpectedly got a donation of 100,000 yuan, but a big man like Li Mengnan can't have it every day, and meeting one in a lifetime is comparable to buying a lottery ticket, so she can only make a guess that she thinks is the most reliable.

Xiao Hui smiled and shook her head.

"Mom, are you supposed to ...... There's another kid coming to our house too, right? ”

Aside from that windfall, Minnie Mouse remembers that her mother was happiest only for the few days when she learned that Li Mengnan was coming to visit her home.

"You kid! Where did Mom get so many children? Just the three of you! Xiao Hui pretended to glare at her with disgust.

Minnie Mouse breathed a sigh of relief, Li Mengnan alone had made so many messy things, if there was one more person in the family, she really couldn't imagine what the future would become.

Li Mengnan moved the small liquefied gas tank from the cart at the door into the kitchen, and after returning, he interjected: "It should be something related to Bao'er, right?" ”

Xiao Hui nodded in surprise and said, "It's still Xiao Nan smart!" In the evening, when I was out of the stall, I met an old customer who often came to my place to eat stew, he worked in the government's demolition and relocation office...... He told me that the city government has changed its leadership team this year, and has made some changes to the original urban plan, to create a new large-scale commercial circle similar to a pedestrian street, and the location chosen is in our area. ”

"So we're going to be demolished here?"

For many years, seeing that many of the newer houses around them have been demolished and replaced with modern residential communities with high-rise buildings, and their shantytown, which should have been a good location, has not moved, many people have even given up the idea of moving, and even she doesn't think that she can wait for the day when the house will be replaced with a new house before it collapses naturally.

Now that she heard the long-awaited good news, Minnie could hardly believe her ears.

"Yes, and I inquired, because this time it is a commercial area, and the government has given a high compensation for the demolition...... If the land is owned, the compensation for demolition and relocation is 10,000 yuan per square meter, or it will be replaced with a store house of the same size after it is built in the commercial area; If there is still a house on the land, an additional 3,000 yuan per square meter will be compensated according to the area of the room, or it will be replaced with a house of the same size. ”

"Wait, let me do the math."

Minnie Mouse was shocked and hurriedly took out her mobile phone to turn on the calculator function, and quickly typed the rows of numbers according to the price her mother said.

"The length of our yard is about 15 meters, and the width is about 10 meters, that is, 150 square meters, according to 10,000 yuan per square meter, it is 1.5 million.

There are three bungalows, with a total area of about 100 square meters, and according to the compensation amount of 3,000 per square meter, it is 300,000.

In other words, when the demolition compensation is settled, our family will have 1.3 million? ”

One moment was still worrying about his daily livelihood, and the next moment he suddenly found that he had become a millionaire, and happiness came too suddenly, and Minnie suddenly felt a little dizzy in her head.

"Li Mengnan, you sue me, these are all true......"

Minnie suddenly grabbed Li Mengnan's arm tightly, the expression on her face was extremely complicated, but there was a trace of worry hidden in anticipation.

"Huh?" Li Mengnan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, Minnie was suspicious that she was still in the illusion and did not wake up, so she could not help but be a little funny, and shook her head: "This is not an illusion, what you heard is true." ”

"Great! Then Bao'er will be saved! Our family also has a new house to live in! ”

Minnie's whole person seemed to be crazy, hugging Xiao Hui and crying and laughing, Xiao Hui also knew how much pressure Minnie had accumulated in her heart for this family, neither persuaded nor stopped, just laughed and let her vent at her signal.

Not long after, Xiao Bao'er in the room was also woken up by Minnie's voice outside, and walked out of the room in a daze, Minnie couldn't wait to share the good news with her, and the sisters hugged and cried again.

As a newcomer to the family, Li Mengnan sympathized with and understood the difficulties of the Xiao family's mother and daughter who had relied on each other for many years, but after all, they still couldn't empathize, but despite this, he was sincerely happy for the turn of his family's fate.

"Okay, look at you two and you're about to become little madmen...... Go to bed early, it is estimated that the news will come tomorrow, and when the time comes, you sisters will not want to sleep lazily like before. ”

Xiao Hui smiled and stretched out her hand and gently scraped the tips of Minnie Mouse and Xiao Bao'er's noses.

Just as the mother and daughter of the Xiao family were about to return to the house, a dog barked from nowhere, followed by a drunken man slamming the door and scolding.

"Hurry up and open the door for Lao Tzu! What about you little bitch stealing people in the house? Your mother is a ****, and you're not a good thing! A female Naiko who has grown so big since she was in junior high school, and she said that it wasn't kneaded by a man? ”

Although this man's voice is very popular, his drunken tone is very familiar, Li Mengnan remembers that he heard it at noon, and it is said that it is Qingche's father of that little Lori.

Well, it's the biological father, not the stepfather.

Li Mengnan felt that it was necessary to emphasize this point again, otherwise he would always have a criminal urge to secretly follow behind with a sack and shoot black bricks.

Seeing that Minnie's black face seemed to be about to attack, Xiao Hui hurriedly grabbed her, shook her head and said, "Forget it, this kind of thing is not the first day, if you deal with a drunk, you can't do it, I'll just persuade him to leave." ”

After speaking, Xiao Hui walked to the gate of the courtyard and shouted through the gate: "Pizi, are you drunk again?" You'll have to walk through two more doorways! Let's go! Don't wake up your neighbors on this big night! ”

There was an instant silence outside the courtyard gate, as if the drunkard was carefully identifying, and a minute or two later, just when Li Mengnan was about to think that he was leaving, he only heard a scolding from outside the door: "Grass!" TM went wrong again! This broken road, the black light is blinding, and I don't know how to install a lamp......"

The babbling curses soon faded away with the sound of stumbling footsteps, and soon the same shouting was heard again in the distance.

Another burst of chickens and dogs.

Seeing that Li Mengnan had been looking in the direction of the door and frowned, Minnie walked over and pulled him covertly, shook his head and said, "Don't pay attention to that drunkard, he is always like this, we are all getting used to it." ”

"Doesn't anyone care?" Li Mengnan didn't believe that the surrounding residents could put up with such a neighbor for a long time.

"Good porcelain doesn't break the crockpot! The man's name is Qing Pei, but people who know him well call him Qing Pi behind his back...... This person is a hob meat, if he thinks you are weak and deceitful, he dares to block the door of your house and scold all day, if you give him a hard one, he may give you a smile at that time, turn around and prickle the tires and splash feces, and can do anything disgusting!

And even if you catch it, it's useless, this bit of can't even reach criminal detention, just educate a few words and write a letter of guarantee and release it, what to do when you turn around.

There were several good families in this neighborhood, and they were all forced to move by him in this way, that is, because my family had some friendship with his family at the beginning, and he had to call my mother sister-in-law to be polite to our family. ”

Minnie couldn't help but sigh, aside from this little courtyard, this was probably the only benefit her bastard father left for their mother-in-law.

Seeing Li Mengnan's disapproving, Minnie thought he was not convinced, and hurriedly reminded: "If you see him in the future, stay away from him, you can't compete with this kind of person, don't make it difficult for our mother." ”

"Huh? I think I just heard something...... Mom? Li Mengnan stared at Minnie Mouse with a smile, this was the first time she had called her that.

Although it is only a one-word difference, the meaning of it is extraordinary.

"I ...... Hmph, this mother is not that mother, what are you proud of? ”

Minnie realized that she had unintentionally changed her words, although she knew that she didn't mean that, and only recognized Li Mengnan's status as an official member of the family, but this ambiguous title still made her blush a little.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, just don't provoke him." Li Mengnan smiled and raised three fingers to Minnie Mouse to reassure, and secretly added a sentence in his heart - as long as this thing doesn't provoke me.

The wicked need to be grinded by the wicked.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Li Mengnan is a good person who is a little out of discipline, but in fact, on the contrary, he prefers to divide himself into the bad guys, so that he is the one who seems to be more disciplined among the bad guys.

Although the two may not sound like much of a difference, psychologically speaking, people are more likely to accept a bad person with a sparkle than a good person with a stain.

The reason why good people always lose to bad people is because no matter what good people do, they will be blamed from all sides and restricted by various rules, while bad people can do anything unscrupulously.

It's like two boxers in the ring, one was blindfolded and trapped in his hands and feet before he even got on the field, and the other was not only armed to the teeth, but also bought off the referee.

And there is no scruple about dividing yourself into the bad guys.

Against the bad guys, we are all on the same starting line, you can use "monkey stealing peaches", I can use "chrysanthemum point acuman"; For good people, it's the same as playing a game, a proper rhythm of hanging.

Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, hob meat like Qing Pei, when Li Mengnan was still following the old man, which village nearby didn't have those few households?

Dealing with this kind of person, he is simply too experienced, any "ghost hitting the wall" can scare these goods out of Xiang, if he suddenly plays on a whim, make a few supernatural events, and teach them to be a new person in minutes.

Therefore, it is not him who Minnie should really worry about, but the drunkard named Qing Pei.

After a brief hiatus, the night fell silent again.

In the opposite room, there was a faint whisper of excitement between the mother and daughter, and Li Mengnan fell asleep with the quilt in his arms.

……

Unless they create their own dreams, it is difficult for illusionists to dream naturally.

The biggest advantage of not dreaming is that the quality of sleep is very high, even if Li Mengnan does not need self-hypnosis, he can enter a deep sleep state in a very short time.

So no matter how late he sleeps, he wakes up on time every day.

Every morning, the sky over the city will be shrouded in this layer of light or thick haze, far less fresh than the air in the small villages of Mongolia Province, which makes Li Mengnan, who is accustomed to morning exercises, quite uncomfortable.

However, the roosters and dogs in this shantytown in the morning made him feel inexplicably intimate, more or less recovering a little of the feeling he once had.

The mother and daughter of the Xiao family slept in the same room last night, and the room was silent at the moment, obviously the three of them thought about the good news of the demolition very late.

Li Mengnan simply did a few yoga-like jiu-jitsu movements in the courtyard to move his muscles, turned around and walked into the kitchen to find something to eat and some stomach, but he found nothing, obviously since he ate enough clean dinner yesterday.

Standing in front of the kitchen stove, looking at the empty bottom of the pot, Li Mengnan suddenly realized that it had only been a few days, and he had actually been raised a little inert by the mother and daughter of the Xiao family - in the past, the first thing he did when he got up was to cook, instead of going to his own food bowl to find ready-made food in his food bowl like a cat and a puppy.

Li Mengnan decided to make a breakfast as a way to prove that he was not a person who only ate white food.

But he quickly gave up on the idea.

The reason is simple - he doesn't know the way to the market.

After all, this is not the village where he lived at the beginning, and when there is no food, he can go to the field to dig some radishes and potatoes, pick some cucumbers and beans, and if you want to make a tooth sacrifice, you can also go to fish and smoke rabbits.

In addition to people and people in the reinforced concrete urban jungle, he can't tie up a living person and come back to chop the minced meat?
