Chapter 331 Brother Nan Checks on Me
After lunch, Li Mu sat on the windowsill of his bedroom to bask in the sun.
A kitten lay beside him, wagging its tail gently. The afternoon sun was so warm that she squinted her eyes comfortably.
"Mud bath."
"Ok?"
"Can you cook the braised pork that Auntie cooks?"
"Will do."
"Oh, then when we get back to the courtyard, you can cook another pot for the kids to try."
"."
Li Mu understood what Xiao Mao meant. She had set her eyes on the braised pork soup and wanted to make a new dish.
"Ugh"
So whether it is a cat or a child, sometimes having too strong learning ability, hands-on ability and self-care ability is not necessarily a good thing, especially for an all-round child who is strong in everything.
After basking in the sun for a while, Li Mu took his racket and went downstairs with Li Qinran to play badminton in the community.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is the most leisurely day for people and the day when they have nothing to do. Many people stroll around the community.
The residents of the community are all family members of the provincial forestry bureau. The two siblings are children of the leader's family. As soon as they appeared in the community, they became the focus of attention of the people taking a walk.
Plus there was a pretty, lively cat, and quite a few people gathered around them.
The two siblings greeted them politely, chatted briefly, and then started playing ball.
People kept joining in and taking turns during the process.
They played until the evening, and Li Mu went upstairs with his racket and yogurt.
Li Qinran followed him slowly.
Both the man and the cat were very tired.
Li Qinran was tired from playing ball, and Maoer was tired from picking up the ball.
After taking a shower and having dinner, the city was already brightly lit.
Li Mu and Maoer were lying on the bed reading.
Just after half past ten, the cell phone rang.
Li Mu clicked on it and took a look. It was a message from WeChat Sports.
Then, there were two more calls, from Brother Nan.
Jiang Daimao: What did you do today?
Jiang Daimao: WeChat step count is over 50,000? ?
Li Mu typed a reply: What's wrong?
Jiang Daimao: Ask you!
Li Mu: What for?
Jiang Daimao: If I ask you, just answer honestly/Cai Dao
Li Mu: Oh.
Li Mu thought about it carefully and decided to explain it seriously, and at the same time pushed the kitten's head back.
Li Mu: Our family went out shopping this morning. We visited two commercial streets and Wanda and walked a long way.
Jiang Daimao: Considering your height, leg length, and the distance from Wanda to your home, even if you add two more streets, you still can’t walk more than 50,000 steps.
Li Mu: Don’t worry, I played badminton downstairs all afternoon.
Jiang Daimao: How far can you run playing badminton?
Li Mu: With the same exercise duration, badminton has the longest running distance among all ball sports.
Jiang Daimao: Nonsense, why do I feel like I didn’t run many steps when I was playing badminton?
Li Mu: Because you’re bad.
Jiang Daimao: [expression]
Li Mu: I’m sorry.
Jiang Daimao: Who did you fight with?
Li Mu: Qinran, and the neighbors in the community.
Jiang Daimao: Gone?
Li Mu: That’s all.
Jiang Daimao: Are there any girls among the neighbors?
Li Mu: Yes, it’s the New Year, and everyone comes back home, whether they are working or studying.
Jiang Daimao: How old are you? Are you single? What do you look like?
Li Mu: You type so fast. Jiang Daimao: Stop talking nonsense!
Li Mu: There are some older than me, some younger than me, I don’t know if they are single or not, but none of them are as pretty as you anyway.
Jiang Daimao: Oh.
Jiang Daimao: I'm telling you, big brother is concerned about you. There are a lot of cars and people during the New Year period, and the situation is complicated. Don't run around, okay?
Jiang Daimao: This concerns your life safety
Li Mu: Got it.
Jiang Daimao: Why don’t you thank me, big brother?
Li Mu: Thank you, brother.
Jiang Daimao: I’m telling you, even though it’s Chinese New Year these next two days, you still shouldn’t run around. Do you hear me?
Li Mu: I heard it.
Jiang Daimao: It’s Chinese New Year, so there are lots of entertainment activities, and everyone wants to go out, but no one knows which will come first, an accident or tomorrow, so if a girl asks you out, don’t go, do you hear me?
Li Mu: I saw in your circle of friends that you went out to circumambulate the mountain today. That tower looks so familiar, where is it?
Jiang Daimao: Yuquan Mountain.
Li Mu: Isn’t that a military jurisdiction?
Jiang Daimao: Who can control us, Old Jiang?
Jiang Daimao: Don’t interrupt me. Did you hear what I just said to you?
Li Mu: I heard it.
Jiang Daimao: If a girl approaches you while you are walking on the street, ignore her and keep a distance from her. Experts say that influenza is prevalent this winter and saliva can spread the virus, so if they get close to you, just step back. Do you hear me?
Li Mu: Why do I feel like you're not afraid that I'll catch the flu?
Jiang Daimao: ???
Li Mu: I heard it.
Jiang Daimao: It is best to wear a mask and sunglasses when going out, and cover yourself tightly. Don’t wear nice new clothes, wear old clothes, preferably tattered clothes, so as not to be targeted by bad guys. Did you hear me?
Li Mu: This is the provincial capital, and the public security is very good.
Jiang Daimao: Did you hear that?
Li Mu: I heard it.
He inexplicably felt that Brother Nan was a bit nagging today, and her tone was a bit like his usual self. He usually talked about Brother Nan like this, and then she had no choice but to nod and deal with him.
It’s quite funny when you think about it this way.
He also felt Brother Nan's true meaning from the lines, which made him laugh even more happily.
While I am happy, I also feel a little bit of longing.
The second day of the new year.
Breakfast is porridge, buns, fried dumplings, and a boiled egg per person.
My aunt heated up two dishes from yesterday's leftovers, added the Jerusalem artichokes that Li Mu brought back as a side dish, and each person had a glass of milk.
The exception is Mr. Li, who is lactose intolerant and can only drink soy milk.
Having been a little sick of all the meat and fish in the past few days, I felt very comfortable after such a light meal. Especially the Jerusalem artichokes that Li Mu brought back became the most popular dish on the table.
Although Brother Nan is not good at cooking, his skill in pickling Jerusalem artichokes is absolutely top-notch.
The aunt kept telling Li Mu that she wanted to learn how to cook when Brother Nan came to her house next time. Unfortunately, her acting skills were not good and she could tell at a glance that the aunt had other intentions.
"By the way, Xiao Mu, your mother has returned to China. She must have told you about it, right?" Old Li put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Mu.
"Ah."
Li Mu nodded.
"Shulin had some things to do at the company, so she stayed in Beijing after returning to China and did not go back to the provincial capital to see you directly." The aunt seemed to be afraid that Li Mu would have some grudges, so she explained for his mother.
Fang Shulin is his mother's name.
"It's okay Auntie, she told me."
Li Mu paused, "She came back this time to shift the company's business focus to China. There will be a lot of things to do. I plan to go to Beijing to see her, so don't let her run back and forth and be distracted."
"Okay." Auntie laughed when she heard that. "My little Mu has really grown up."
"Brother Nan is also in Beijing." Li Qinran, who was feeding yogurt and eggs on the side, suddenly spoke up.
The aunt was stunned, glanced at Li Mu, then smiled even more happily, and even nodded, looking relieved.
Thanks to the boss of 666) for the reward and monthly ticket! I bow and bare my chest!
