Chapter 50: Through the Looking Glass
"Dude...... Dude...... Dude ......"
I always felt that a faint sound came from a very distant place.
"Dude, get up!"
It was quite familiar, so familiar that it made you want to cry.
"Get up for me!"
Suddenly, Wang Li only felt a sharp pain in his scalp, and suddenly sat up with a loud scream.
"Humph! Toast without eating and eating penalty wine! "A little girl with a double ponytail wrinkled her little nose, pursed her small mouth and blew the hair on her fingertips, and patted Wang Li on the shoulder like an adult." Mommy's meal is ready, just waiting for you! ”
"Are you...... Xiaotong? ”
Wang Li always felt that his head was wooden, and he looked at the little girl with some uncertainty.
"Hey!" The little girl puffed out her pink cheeks, jumped up and climbed onto the bed, and viciously pulled off a handful of Wang Li's hair. "It seems that you big lazy worm hasn't woken up yet, you must wake up!"
Wang Li was in pain, and hurriedly pushed the little girl away, and said with a helpless wry smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, and you still like to pull my hair so much!" ”
"A year?" The little girl's eyes widened in surprise, and she stretched out her cold little hand to touch Wang Li's forehead. "Brother, you don't matter, right? You can't get sick, do you? Didn't we just meet last night? ”
Wang Li was slightly stunned, scratched his head in confusion, and said with a dry smile: "Maybe I've been too tired lately." ”
"Also, since you became a reporter, brother, you haven't been early or late." The little girl touched the top of Wang Li's head worriedly. "What if you continue like this and become bald?"
"Get out!" Wang Li was not angry and knocked off the little girl's little hand, rolled his eyes and said angrily: "It's better to be bald, so you don't have to pull out your hair all day long!" ”
"No! No way! The little girl was shocked, and a pair of white and tender hands hurriedly grabbed Wang Li's hair. Anyway, sooner or later, I'm going to be bald, so I'll just pull it out! ”
"Hey, hey!" Wang Li's face turned blue with fright, and he hurriedly pushed his sister away. "Your brother is not married yet, what should I do if I become bald and can't find a sister?"
"Lie to you!" The little girl playfully stuck out her tongue, jumped out of bed and beckoned to walk out. "Mom and dad are waiting for you, come down quickly."
Wang Litiao lowered his head reflexively, looked at a few small black footprints on the quilt, and said angrily: "Wang Yutong, you didn't take off your shoes!" ”
"What did you say?" The little girl blinked innocently, seized the time to open the door, and quickly ran away.
"Damn girl!" Wang Li sighed helplessly, got out of the quilt and began to get dressed.
The same morning as usual, the same sister as usual, and the same messy way of getting people up as usual. However, Wang Li always felt that something was strange. But when asked what was strange, he couldn't say.
Dressed neatly, Wang Li looked in the mirror, only to see himself in the mirror full of confusion, frowning slightly, and seeing that there was something on his mind.
"No, you can't let your parents worry!"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Li tried his best to adjust his face well, carefully hiding the strangeness in his heart. I walked out of the door and came to the living room.
At this time, the three parents and sisters were already sitting at the dining table, eating a simple breakfast made by their mother.
"Xiaobao, come here, the rice is going to be cold!"
When an ordinary middle-aged woman saw Wang Li, she immediately beckoned him to come over for dinner.
As soon as the word Xiaobao entered his ears, Wang Li's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt the urge to cry. For some reason, he always felt that no one had called him by his name for a long, long time.
"What's wrong?" The middle-aged woman hurriedly left the dining table and walked quickly to Wang Li, looking at him with concern on her face. "Xiaobao, are you feeling well?"
"It's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep well yesterday, and my eyes are a little uncomfortable." Wang Li wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes without a trace, made a smiling face, and pulled his mother back to sit down at the table.
"Xiaobao, why don't you go to work today and take a day off?" The mother was still full of worries and did not feel at ease to persuade her.
"Don't worry about it." Before Wang Li could speak, his father with a serious face glared at him and said, "Big man's family, just a headache and brain fever are considered diseases!" ”
"Yes, Daddy is right!" Wang Li knew that it was really unwise to compare with his father now, so he made a perfunctory remark and stuffed his head for dinner.
"Humph!" Mom glared at her father dissatisfied, didn't say anything, and was concerned about picking up vegetables for Wang Li.
Breakfast is simple, millet porridge, fried eggs, and hot pancakes. But for some reason, Wang Li always felt that this meal was so delicious that he wanted to cry again!
"Xiaobao." Suddenly, while pulling the fried egg on the plate, my father asked casually, "How did you do with that reporter recently?" ”
"It's good." Wang Li swallowed the pancake in his mouth and replied vaguely.
"Hmm." The father nodded and advised: "You have to be a little more attentive to follow Lao Han, don't do what you shouldn't do, don't say what you shouldn't say." ”
"Dad!" Wang Li couldn't help frowning, raised his head and retorted: "I am a reporter just to make the truth public, instead of being timid and flattering, it is better to send a courier!" ”
"Smack!" The father threw the bowl on the table, glared at Wang Li angrily, and said, "Bastard, have you forgotten about your grandfather?" ”
At the mention of his grandfather, Wang Li suddenly suffocated slightly. His grandfather was a journalist in the era of liberation, and during the years of the movement, he exposed the evil deeds of some people in power and spoke for the innocent and wronged, and was criticized to death.
"So what? Grandpa is a hero! I want to be a journalist like my grandfather! Wang Li was not convinced, and plucked up the courage to speak back. Besides, this is a time of peace, which is not the same as it was back then. ”
"You know what!" The father was furious and slammed the table. "No matter how the times change, there are some things that can't be said nonsense!"
"Dad!" Wang Li was also angry, and stood up and replied: "You are still grandpa's son, and Uncle Han is just a student of grandpa, so he inherited grandpa's legacy without fear of hardship!" ”
"Good! You're like Old Han Xue, sooner or later he'll kill you! The father was furious, dropped the dishes and chopsticks and left.
"Kid dad!" The mother glanced at Wang Li, and then chased after his father, leaving only Wang Li and his sister.
"Dude." My sister blinked and her eyes widened, and she looked at him helplessly. "It's not that I'm talking about you, you've been too serious since you were a child, this is a disease, you have to ye!"
"Little ghost!" Wang Li smiled bitterly, and asked rhetorically: "You just entered junior high school, how is the school, and is the course going well?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that the school uniform is too ugly!" The younger sister pulled the egg chop open and picked out the yolk inside.
"Don't be picky eaters, beware of growing small!" Wang Li flicked his sister's forehead and pointed to the egg yolk.
"Bastard brother, sooner or later I'm going to have to pull out all your hair!" The younger sister glared at Wang Li angrily, picked up the egg yolk with a bitter face, stuffed it into her small mouth, chewed it twice with a frown, and swallowed it with difficulty.
