In the afternoon, Li Zimu contacted the people in the hardware store again, and installed the fence gate of the safety staircase sent in advance, the size of the apartment staircase was relatively standard, Li Zimu added a lot of wages, and soon the installer installed the fence door by dividing it by two. As for the security door and the security window net. Li Zimu, the original supporting facilities of this apartment, inspected it again and found that the quality was very good, and it was no longer modified.

At the same time, contact the oil and grain store to buy the staple food, barreled mineral water sent downstairs, and ask someone to help send it upstairs. He put half of the supplies in each of the two units. All have a room dedicated to existence.

It was nearly 4 p.m. when he called his parents. It was still Li's mother who answered the phone.

"Mom, why haven't you called me yet? Where's it going? ”

"We just arrived at Shibagawa Station, it's okay, it's not in a hurry." Mother Li on the other end of the phone smiled easily.

Li Zimu frowned and asked, "Why did you just arrive in Chaichuan?" ”

"Mom and your dad don't know how to take the train, and they don't know how to book tickets with their mobile phones, so they can't buy tickets for the shift when they arrive at the station. I didn't let Xiaojie handle it for us the whole time, and she came with us. ”

"Summary? Why did she come too? Li Zimu's face darkened, Zhao Xiaojie is 13 years old this year, she is the third daughter of his neighbor's family, and she is also the goddaughter of the Li family, so she can be regarded as his godsister. However, Li Zimu is cold by nature, and he is not deeply attached to his family, not to mention the cheap godsister who appeared unplanned.

Unlike Li Zimu, who is the only son in the family, Uncle Zhao's family has two sons and a daughter. Zhao Xiaojie grew up in spoiling since he was a child, and his personality was rude and willful. The relationship between the two families is very good, Zhao Shoucai and Li Bozheng are comrades-in-arms who entered the team together and retired together, so the two families are not relatives but better than relatives.

This led to Zhao Xiaojie not treating himself as a guest at his house since he was a child, and he entered Li Zimu's room on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year last time and broke his collection of empress figures. He slapped Zhao Xiaojie's ass three times. As a result, the little girl ran to the adults to complain in tears, and Li Zimu simply returned to S City a day ahead of schedule in a fit of anger.

"Brother Mu is good, hehe, what are you going to treat me to eat at night?" A lively little girl's voice came from outside the phone.

"She came here, Uncle Zhao is relieved?" Du Zimu said sullenly that he wanted to save his parents, but he couldn't drag his family and lead a group of people. What's more, the other party is still a little girl who has just entered junior high school.

"Don't underestimate the summary, she is young but very smart, she helped us get it when she got a ticket to buy a ticket and scan the code. She had been to S City with school before, and as soon as she heard that we were coming over this time, she had to clamoring to come over and play for a few days, anyway, it was also during the summer vacation, and you Uncle Zhao was busy, and he was afraid that she would either run to the river to fish or fight with people every day, so she asked her to follow us. Mother Li replied with a smile, and there was a childish "hum" faintly in the distance on the other end of the phone. It is obvious that Zhao Xiaojie is very dissatisfied with Li Zimu's attitude.

"Okay, then you guys call me when you get there." Li Zimu said helplessly.

Putting down the phone, he stood on the top floor of the apartment, looking at the world below, here, tomorrow will usher in a catastrophe, but he always felt that time was still too rushed, and he always felt that something was not ready.

————————

At the station, Li's father and mother finally walked out of the station with Zhao Xiaojie. The little girl is 13 years old but only 140 years old, still with baby fat on her face, short broken hair, wearing a pair of royal blue over-the-knee cargo shorts and an oversized pure white T-shirt, and carrying a small shoulder bag made of blue canvas. The neutral dress does not look like a little girl of this age at all, but the eyes are big and round, black and white, and they are full of quirks.

As soon as she saw Li Zimu, she jumped over and pulled Li Zimu to ask for a gift, completely forgetting that she was beaten by Li Zimu when they last met half a year ago.

But Li Zimu was anxious now, but he didn't prepare any gifts, so he could only helplessly spread his hands and say that he would go home.

Zhao Xiaojie's face collapsed suddenly, and his face was full of dissatisfaction. muttered: "I must still not have it after I go home, I haven't seen you for so long, Brother Mu, you are still the same stingy and tasteless." “

Li Zimu rubbed Zhao Xiaojie's hair with a kind face: "Yes, I haven't seen you for so long, you still haven't grown taller, and you're still a little bean." ”

Zhao Xiaojie slapped Li Zimu's paws off with a dark face: "I don't care, there are no gifts, then I want to go to have a big meal first, I want to eat good and expensive." We don't have it in Langmei Village. I'm going to eat hot pot. “

"Okay, okay, let's go back first."

At this time, Li's parents also came over and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's eat a meal nearby first, I've been out for most of the day today, and I don't have anything to eat in the car, so I've been hungry for a long time." ”

Li Bozheng is an honest-looking, medium-sized rural man, his bronzed skin and deep ravines on his face make him look older than his real age. He looked at Li Zimu at this time, smiled slightly and didn't say much. Li's mother, Du Yuemei, is a typical middle-aged woman in the countryside, with a slight figure, her face is leisurely and white, and when she meets, she holds Li Zimu's face and says that her son is black and thin.

But being stirred up by Zhao Xiaojie like this, the touching drama of the family reunion that Li Zimu originally imagined couldn't be played in an instant. He looked at the crowd at the station, thought for a while, and said okay. Let's go to the neighborhood to find something to eat first.

Several people discussed for a long time, but the result was that Zhao Xiaojie's wish to eat hot pot was fulfilled. When deciding where to eat, the other three naturally handed over to Li Zimu to drive, but he also looked at it while driving, and unconsciously drove along the way back to the apartment to Vientiane Square, and naturally walked into the moon in the water.

Li Zimu found a good seat and arranged for a few people to order a good meal. When the soup base was heating, Li's father and mother went to get the ingredients.

At this time, Zhao Xiaojie came over with a glass of orange juice and sat next to Li Zimu.

"Hey, who is the person named Chen Xi that you just secretly inquired with that sister? Your girlfriend? Zhao Xiaojie opened his eyes wide and asked in a gossipy whisper.

"Don't gossip children, just a friend happens to work here and wants to ask her if she has any employee discounts." Li Zimu calmly drank the tea, and replied without raising his eyelids.

He had just asked the waiter privately, but learned that Chen Xi had temporarily asked for leave and did not come to work.

The girl also said in passing, Chen Xi never asked for leave before, only applied for overtime.

That's good, she should listen to her words. Li Zimu felt a little relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

When I turned around, I saw that Zhao Xiaojie was still looking at himself with a pair of big black and white eyes. Li Zimu frowned: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhao Xiaojie wrote seriousness on his little face with baby fat: "I feel that you are lying, when you lie, you like to be expressionless, and you always don't look at people." Well, I'll have to talk to my godmother when I get back. ”

Li Zimu almost choked on a mouthful of tea, and knocked a chestnut on her head with his backhand: "Let's talk to your godmother, you started to mess around before you even saw anyone, and then I won't beat you, and your godmother will beat you first." ”

The little girl held her head in her hands and said angrily, "You have a weak heart. ”

Li Zimu ignored her anymore, calmly picked up the cup and took another sip of orange juice.
