Chapter 62: Dark Clouds

Previous Chapter

Because the surroundings are very quiet, everyone is basically sleeping, so they sleep very peacefully, and only occasionally a few children run by talking and laughing. They had a holiday in the morning, and this precious time also quickly gathered some friends to come out to play.

Lin Mu was on the second floor of the house, he was sitting on the bed by himself, and on the small bench in front of him, Xiaobai was happily drinking "Cool and not crooked" there. Looking at each other, Lin Mu's eyes were full of helplessness, Xiaobai was obviously very excited, and drank the small bottle of drink in his hand with a croak sound.

Lin Mu is really speechless today, he was woken up by Uncle Bai by slapping the door before he woke up naturally in the morning, and now it is rare for the school to have a half-day holiday, isn't it fragrant to sleep in? But as soon as he lay down, before he could close his eyes, there was another knock on the door.

Rushed downstairs angrily, Xiaobai was alone with his schoolbag, waiting for Lin Mu there alone, "Brother Mu, grandpa took Hehe to see a doctor, let me come to you......"

Although Lin Mu is a teacher, he has a very good relationship with Xiaobai in private, and Brother Mu has long been used to shouting on weekdays, so he suddenly changed his name to Teacher Lin Don't talk about Xiaobai, even Lin Mu himself can't accept it.

"Going to the doctor?" Lin Mu scratched his head, and the anger in his heart had long been forgotten outside the clouds, "Isn't it okay in the morning?" ”

Xiaobai blinked his eyes, "I don't know, hehe has been throwing up since he went home, grandpa was worried that there would be no big problem, so he took Hehe to the hospital and asked me to come to Brother Mu for lunch." ”

Lin Mu: "......" is opposite a restaurant, and he came to my house to eat, what does this mean?

Alas, I was going to sleep well, sleep him in the dark, and just order noodles to eat at noon. But now that Xiaobai is eating here, he can't just give him two noodles and leave, right?

I had to sigh silently in my heart, and let Xiaobai play by himself downstairs and go upstairs to sleep by himself.

Because Lin Mu had just moved in and did not install a TV, Uncle Bai took away the key to the house before leaving, and Xiaobai naturally couldn't go back to his house to watch TV, so he had to let him play downstairs casually for a while.

By the way, help yourself with housekeeping......

Regarding Lin Mu's imagination, it is indeed very good, after all, let the child come to show him the door, even if Uncle Bai comes, he will not be able to quarrel with himself. Before Uncle Bai could knock on the door, Xiaobai opened the door and went home with him.

The wishful thinking was good, but Lin Mu didn't know that children were the most suitable for playing alone, and before he could lie down, Xiaobai ran upstairs to play with Lin Mu.

Lin Mu: "......"

So there is a scene where two people are big eyes to small eyes, two people have their own thoughts, one desperately wants to get rid of each other, and the other desperately wants to play with each other.

"Ugh." Lin Mu got out of bed, walked to the desk and picked up his notes for last night's preparation, and raised it to Xiaobai, "Since you don't want to play alone, then I'll give you a lesson, right?" ”

I wanted to use the class to scare Xiaobai, let him retreat from the difficulty, and not disturb his sleep, but I didn't expect Xiaobai, the child, to nod, and Lin Mu reluctantly gave him a lesson with a brief note and Xiaobai's textbook.

That's a couple of hours......

First, I finished my next psychology class, and then I also taught a little bit of math class, and finally I was really afraid of embarrassment, so I started teaching English again.

It's weird to be a teacher, especially when it comes to teaching. Lin Mu didn't pay much attention to it in the first place, so he just talked about it casually, and it didn't take long for him to finish.

And Xiaobai's state here is completely different from the usual class, in school, there will always be a few people in the class who talk and disrupt the class order, but in Lin Mu's house......

Ahem, it's just the two of them, who is making trouble?

This lesson was the most perfunctory lesson taught by Lin Mu, but it was the most serious lesson that Xiaobai listened to. Later, the atmosphere of the lecture infected Mr. Lin, and he cleared his throat, Lin Mu was about to show off his hand in front of Xiaobai in a super long spoken English, and just spoke.

"Xiaobai! Xiaobai! ”

The voice is loud, the momentum is huge, and the earth is shaking, this voice is Zheng Gui is uncertain.

Uncle Bai was still more thoughtful, knowing that Lin Mu was lazy and Xiaobai couldn't eat anything good here, so he notified Zheng Gui by the way when he walked through the breakfast shop and asked him to pick up Xiaobai at noon, as for Lin Mu...... It's also pulled.

Lin Mu's heart was like being suddenly grabbed by someone's little tail, and he was uncomfortable, as if he had been looked at by Uncle Bai, and he didn't have any little secrets of his own.

"What do you think?" Zheng Gui held Xiaobai in one hand, and saw that Lin Mu had closed the door for a long time, and his face was extremely ugly, as if he was about to cry.

Lin Mu hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, what are we going to eat at noon, boss?" After speaking, he looked at Zheng Gui with that expectant gaze.

Boss Zheng shook his head shyly, "The proprietress is cooking at noon today, let's make two cups?" ”

Lin Mu nodded his head and walked into the breakfast shop where there was not a single guest now.

Xiaobai eats little, but he also eats quickly, Lin Mu has not eaten a glass of wine, Xiaobai's bowl of rice is already over, and as soon as the bowl is loosened, he runs to other rooms to find yogurt to play.

Zheng Gui raised his glass and took a sip, looking very happy, and glanced back at the room where Xiaobai went, "Children, eating is fast, eating well is playing!" Hahaha. ”

The proprietress glanced at Zheng Gui, "You drink less wine." On the other hand, he didn't forget to pick up vegetables for Lin Mu.

"Hey, thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, thank you, hey, I'll ...... it myself" Lin Mu hurriedly replied politely.

But I didn't expect Zheng Gui to laugh when he snorted on the side, "Haha, sister-in-law, at her age, you still call her sister-in-law...... Hahaha! Zheng Gui smiled really hard, and some wine shook out of the wine glass in his hand.

The proprietress kicked Zheng Gui hard under the table, and smiled at Lin Mu again, "It's okay Xiao Mu, just call me aunt." As for this thing......" The proprietress twisted her head and looked at Zheng Gui with a smile.

Zheng Guigang put the cup to his lips, and saw the meaningful smile of the proprietress with his peripheral vision, combined with what she had just said...... The hand didn't move, and the smile on his face gradually solidified, and he stiffened like that for a long time before he saw the proprietress move her lips and teeth slightly.

"Just call him Lao Zheng!" After saying this, he also glanced at Zheng Gui.

Lao Zheng was taken aback, it seems that he is going to be obedient in the past few days......

The proprietress snickered a few times, put the chopsticks on the bowl, and got up and went into the house. Before leaving, he specially went around to Zheng Gui, leaned down and said something in his ear.

"It's good to let you drink, you have to inch in, we'll talk about it later."

Zheng Gui didn't know why, his face was not red when he drank, but became a little white.

Just when they were full of wine and food, the two talked about the school again.

"Xiao Mu, do you know what's going on at your school?"

"No, Lao Zheng, what's wrong?" This Lin Mu learned quite quickly.

Zheng Gui gave him a roll of his eyes, "It's nothing, when I went to buy vegetables, I saw that there was a construction team doing there in the vacant land next to me." ”

Construction team?

Lin Mu hurriedly sat up straight and listened to Zheng Gui continue.

"I asked a few people who live in the neighborhood, and they said it seemed like they were going to build a new street on the side of the school vacant land, and then move all the families who used to live on South Street to that new street."

Lin Mu hurriedly took a bite of food to suppress his shock, "Then why change the street?" Isn't it okay to decorate and decorate those houses on South Street? ”

Zheng Gui took a sip of wine, leaned over to Lin Mu, specially lowered his voice, and quietly explained to Lin Mu, "Have you heard about the cause of the fire?" I just met a regular customer. He was the first to notice the fire when it caught fire, and he told me the most important cause of the fire. ”

Zheng Gui unconsciously leaned towards Lin Muna, and he was almost able to kiss Lin Mu's face, with a wine-smelling tone, a slightly hoarse voice, and the wind from his mouth blew into Lin Mu's left ear.

"The wiring was aging, and one of the wires suddenly short-circuited and there was an open flame." Zheng Gui sat back in his seat, wiped out the remaining bit of wine in the cup, and ate the dishes sullenly.

Lin Mu also fell into deep thought.

On the construction time of the street, in fact, Yannan Old Street was built earlier than the surrounding time, and the Yannan North Street and Yannan South Street were built later.

North Street was built the latest, because this street was built to facilitate Shengmu Primary School, so it was not a few years. Yannan Old Street has a long history, to be precise, it was built before the reform and opening up, but it was rebuilt later, and it has the current scale.

In contrast, although the north and south streets of the weir were built relatively late, they have not been taken seriously, and they have not gone through various constructions like the old streets, so the safety hazards are very large, although the fire did not have any big casualties, but it is also a wake-up call for the people here.

Put an end to all hidden dangers, and it is urgent!

Zheng Gui said another sentence, which made Lin Mu stunned.

"Do you say Lao Cai will also ......" Although he didn't finish speaking, Lin Mu knew very well what Zheng Gui was thinking now.

One side of the water and soil, one side of the people. Even though I haven't lived here for a long time, I still have a relationship with this place. The row of big trees at the corner of the street, the open farmland at the end of the street, every brick and soil on the street, all have feelings with the people who live here.

If it is suddenly dismantled like this, everyone's heart will be a little uncomfortable, right?

Drinking the rest of the wine abruptly, Zheng Gui's face began to slowly turn red, and it didn't take long for it to come up.

After eating, Zheng Gui swayed into the bedroom on the second floor and fell asleep.

The proprietress who came to clean up the table frowned, turned around and said to Lin Mu earnestly: "Xiao Mu, in the future, I will drink with Lao Zheng less, he can't drink enough." ”

Lin Mu wanted to cry without tears, they didn't drink much, and the two of them only drank a bottle of beer in total, and then Zheng Gui poured it......

The proprietress sighed heavily, "Actually, Lao Zheng has been difficult all these years, and his heart is too heavy......"

Seeing Lin Mu on the side, he hurriedly smiled, "Alas, it's all over, by the way, let Xiaobai sleep here at noon, Xiao Mu, you should go back early for a lunch break, there are still classes in the afternoon!" ”

Lin Mu thanked the proprietress again, and then walked out of the breakfast shop and returned to his house, took out his mobile phone and sent something to his old classmate.

A dark cloud drifted in to obscure the sun, and the sky looked a little overcast, but what was it like when the sun shone on this old street again?
