Chapter 44: Brother and Sister

Leave, please come down.

Not only that, early the next morning, Hou Ting's driver came to the base to pick up Li Mu and go to the station as if he had been instructed in advance.

Getting on the bus home and looking at the scenery flying by outside the window, Li Mu had mixed feelings.

The two timelines inexplicably coincide together, Li Mu before rebirth and Li Mu now are not engaged in the same industry, and even the trajectory of their childhood lives is different, but the family environment of the two is almost identical.

A seriously ill mother, an uncle, and a sister.

This is all Li Mu has.

As for the father?

This word was so far away, so far away that Li Mu even forgot what his father looked like.

"That girl, she must hate me very much."

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Mu's mouth, a bitter smile.

Mingxi is not far from the magic capital.

The bus took only four and a half hours to reach its destination.

The familiar streets have not changed in the slightest in the three months since Li Mu left home, and he called an electric tricycle, and Li Mu reported his destination.

"Young man, just got back from out of town?"

The uncle who rides the tricycle is very talkative.

"Hmm."

"Go to work, or go to school?"

"Part-time job."

"What's the city like outside, compared to our Mingxi?"

"Almost."

Li Mu's answer was concise and to the point.

This uncle seemed to be very yearning for things outside Mingxi County, and kept asking questions along the way, but he didn't notice that Li Mu didn't seem to want to answer him.

"It's not too far when I arrive, just charge you two dollars."

The uncle stopped, grinning, revealing a mouthful of smoky, yellowed teeth.

But his smile is very kind.

"Thank you."

After paying the money, looking at the low residential building in front of him, Li Mu calmed down and walked home.

There was no one at home.

Calculate the time, it's half past ten, my uncle shouldn't have gotten off work yet, and my sister hasn't gotten out of school yet.

It was still a familiar furnishing, but the home was a little messy, Li Mu scooped up rice, washed the dishes in the refrigerator, and began to clean the room.

Sitting on the dilapidated sofa, Li Mu looked up at the top of the TV, where there was a group photo, it was Li Mu's family...... Three-bite.

Li Mu, who left home at the beginning, may have been chasing the dream of e-sports, but after Li Mu was reborn, he thought that the former Li Mu was just to escape.

Escape the heavy pressures of life and the oppressive atmosphere you have to face every day at home.

He's a coward.

Call.

Calculating that the time was almost up, Li Mu began to cook.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with green peppers, and a small pot of tofu soup and a pot of steamed rice.

The rice cooker tripped, and the sound of the door opening sounded at the right time.

For some reason, Li Mu was suddenly a little nervous at this moment.

It's like a child who suddenly breaks into someone else's house to hide and seek, but is discovered by the owner.

Through the dim light, Li Mu stared at the door.

"Uncle, you came back so early today? If I had known, I wouldn't be buying pancakes and fruit on the road. ”

Sound...... Familiar.

What caught my eye was a tall girl in a school uniform.

The ponytail tied to the back of his head flicked twice at will, but it made Li Mu's heart burst out.

Familiar, too familiar.

"Li Xin."

Li Mu's voice was a little hoarse.

At the door, the girl who was changing her shoes paused, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely heavy.

Long.

Li Xin slowly changed her slippers and walked over.

Whether his sister was the same as in his memory, Li Mu couldn't see clearly, all he saw at this time was a pair of slightly reddened eyes, and a little stubbornness flashing in his eyes.

"Why are you back?"

Li Xin asked calmly.

Li Mu was silent, and after a while, he got up: "I'll go to the hospital." ”

"No need, mom is fine, with me and my uncle taking care of it, it's enough."

Li Xin's calm voice seemed to tremble a little.

"Hmm."

Li Mu paused, and then silently picked up his coat from the hanger, and then gently placed a package wrapped in the coat on the coffee table.

Push the door and leave.

In the room, only Li Xin was left.

The girl who was no one could no longer hide her crying.

The phone rings.

The girl's crying gradually stopped, but she still sobbed a little.

"Xiaoxin, take a leave tomorrow, your mother will have surgery tomorrow and needs someone to take care of her."

On the other side of the phone, Li Gao looked very excited.

"Surgery?"

Li Xin was slightly stunned: "Uncle, don't lie to me, doesn't the operation fee cost hundreds of thousands?" Could it be that you ...... Got borrowed money? ”

"Hey, I forgot to tell you about this, your brother transferred 100,000 yuan to me the day before yesterday, and then I pieced it together, and the operation fee was all paid."

Li Gao was very happy.

Yesterday, after going to Zhang Cripple's house to watch the game, I listened to Zhang Cripple's careful analysis......

Li Gao didn't know what to do.

Anyway, he only knows one thing, this nephew of his own, has a future.

"What do you say? My brother? Lakh? ”

Li Xinmei's eyes widened.

Her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of something on the coffee table, and she was stunned for a moment.

Stepping on slippers, Li Xin hurriedly ran to the coffee table.

It was a figurine-made box.

On the golden wheel, a pair of transparent wings are raised, and the girl holds a staff and sits in the golden wheel, whether it is the placket or other details, it is perfectly and impeccable.

The figure of the magic card girl Sakura.

Li Xin still remembers that when she was in junior high school a few years ago, she saw this figure in the display case.

For her, who has loved her since childhood, figurines have a fatal attraction.

It's just the price......

Two thousand eight hundred!

In a small county like Mingxi County, two thousand eight is almost equivalent to two months' wages.

"Later, when my brother makes money, I will buy it for you."

Li Xin touched his head.

She could still remember the way Li Mu rubbed her hair with a confident smile.

"Mom needs a lot of money to treat her illness, and I don't really like this either."

"That'...... When my mother's illness is cured, my brother will buy it for you. ”

"Okay."

A teenager and a girl in the sunset, standing in front of the display case, smiling.

Suddenly, Li Xin put down the figure and rushed towards the door.

She pushed the door open and froze.

Li Mu stood at the door, with a smile on his face like a teenager in the sunset that year, pure and sunny.

Li Xin flattened his mouth and walked in front of Li Mu with his head slightly lowered.

Then she reached out and pulled the corner of Li Mu's clothes: "Brother, let's eat." ”

"Okay, eat."

Li Mu's smile became brighter and brighter.

……

On the dinner table.

"Brother, what did you do when you went to the magic capital? I even learned to cook. ”

After crying, you are most likely to get hungry.

In front of her relatives, Li Xin didn't look like a lady at all, and she ate sweetly.

"Robbery of the bank."

Li Mu said with a smile.

Li Xin froze, and looked at Li Mu with bulging cheeks.

"You don't really believe it, do you? Eat your meal, and after eating, we will go to the hospital together. ”

Li Mu rubbed her hair dotingly, while Li Xin avoided it as usual, and the two of them acted skillfully and without jerkiness.
