Chapter 358 Return to the Provincial Capital
The sky is full of light blue, with thin clouds like gauze floating in the air.
The light golden sunlight shines through the sky, making people feel very comfortable when basking in the sun.
The car was driving on the highway from Beijing to the provincial capital.
The four-lane highway was wide and straight, and Brother Nan was walking in the leftmost fast lane.
The speed limit is 120, but she runs at 130. The speed limit is 110, but she runs at 120. There is no penalty for speeding within 10%, but if you drive slower, you will suffer a loss.
If she encounters a road section without surveillance, she will step on the accelerator even harder, and the performance of the super sports car will be slightly released, and the sound will be like a roaring beast.
"See? This is how a sports car should be driven." Brother Nan turned his head and glanced at Li Mu. "It's like an old car in your hands. I feel bad for it."
"Oh."
Li Mu didn't care at all. He cracked a walnut open and handed half of the kernel to Brother Nan's mouth.
Brother Nan opened his mouth and took it in, chewing it and humming a song happily.
A cat was squatting on the center console, facing the windshield. It sat up and curled up into a ball. It was furry and looked like its entire body was made up of two balls. The big ball was the body and the small ball was the head. It stared outside without blinking.
This was her newly discovered Feng Shui treasure land, with better vision and more scenery than what she could see out of the car window.
Then she tilted her head upwards, so that she could easily see Li Mu with her back to him, and asked him, "Ni Mu, are we going back to the provincial capital, meow?"
"Lord Yogurt is extremely smart."
"Yes!"
"Doesn't this hurt your neck?" Li Mu handed the other half of the walnut kernel to the kitten, "Eat the walnut."
“It’s not uncomfortable.”
The cat turned around, snatched the walnut from his hand, then turned back and continued to stare outside.
"What is Mr. Yogurt looking at?" Li Mu asked curiously.
"Well?"
Hearing the voice of its own Ni Mu, the cat did not move at all, but turned its head back suddenly, staring at Li Mu in confusion, its lips still smacking.
"What are you staring at out of the glass?"
"Looking at the car."
"That's it."
"Other people's carriages are not as good as our horse-drawn carriages!"
"How did Lord Yogurt know that there was no better car than ours?"
"Not as pretty as our carriage!"
The cat gave many reasons at once, "Other people's carriages don't have horse patterns or little yellow ducks on them, they don't run as fast as our carriages, and they don't neigh as loudly as our carriages!"
"Lord Yogurt has a pair of discerning eyes." Li Mu couldn't help but smile when he heard that.
"Yes!"
Sister Nan was concentrating on driving while listening to Li Mu and Suanrou talking, with a faint smile on her lips, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, as if a cat had moved in and was scratching her.
She especially wanted to know what Yogurt’s voice sounded like. Would it be the same meowing tone as it is now?
As she was thinking, she remembered the fruit that could help one understand what animals say when eaten.
noon.
The two people and the cat found a service area to eat, rested for half an hour and then continued on their journey.
It was still Sister Nan who was driving, she was very energetic.
Li Mu leaned on the passenger seat, holding a Cat brand hand warmer, basking in the afternoon sun, feeling drowsy.
The big truck ahead was emitting billowing black smoke. Brother Nan was muttering that the other truck might be burning honeycomb coal while speeding up to pass him. At the same time, he turned his head and looked at him: "Don't sleep, you have to keep me company and talk!"
Li Mu blinked his eyes, looking listless, and whispered, "I'm afraid I'll affect your driving."
"I'm an experienced driver." Brother Nan said proudly, and released one hand from the steering wheel. "See? I'm an experienced driver who can drive a Ferrari with one hand!"
"Oh." Li Mu rubbed his eyes, "What are you talking about?"
"I wonder how my roses are blooming." Brother Nan asked.
"It's blooming well. The pot is full of flowers. The Great Sage waters it every day and takes it out to bask in the sun." Li Mu yawned. "Besides, it's made of soil from the spiritual field. Even if it's left there, it won't matter. The flowers will still bloom well."
"How do you know the Great Sage waters the flowers every day?"
"I gave it a video call yesterday."
"Oh my! The Monkey King can also answer video calls?" Brother Nan was a little surprised.
"Well, I taught it a long time ago." "Smart! How about the animals?"
"Everything is fine. The cubs have grown up a bit. Now they go hunting in the forest with Tiger Mom and Wolf Mom every day. After they come back, they stay at the tent and watch the engineers build the house."
"Hey, now that you mention it, I really miss them."
"They too." Li Mu lowered his head and pinched the cat's paw. "The cubs chatted with Yogurt for two hours yesterday and were reluctant to hang up the video."
"It's only a few days away. We'll go back after the 15th."
"Ah."
"When we get back, pick the flowers and make some flower cakes." Brother Nan said, "Is this blue rose edible?"
“Yes, it’s all natural.”
"Yeah, wait until another crop grows, pluck it off, dry it, and soak it in water to drink."
“As soon as the flowers have bloomed, you’re already thinking about the next crop.”
"What do you know? Pulling more flowers will make them grow better!"
"That's it."
"After drying, add some honey and osmanthus. The fragrance of osmanthus is so pleasant. Add some candied dates and wolfberries to it. It tastes good and is good for the skin."
"If you brew tea this way, you'll find that even if you remove the rose flowers, it won't affect the taste at all," said Li Mu.
"You're the only one who understands!" Brother Nan glared at him in dissatisfaction.
"."
Li Mu looked ahead without saying a word, his hands unconsciously pinching the cat's soles and playing with the pads. The kitten in its sleep seemed unaware of his teasing.
7 .
They drove into the provincial capital.
At a toll station exit in the suburbs, Brother Nan drove off the highway.
We drove for another half an hour.
The urban area of the provincial capital was faintly visible. The road they were walking on was under construction, so the driving speed was affected.
Brother Nan opened the car window and put his hand on the window. While waiting patiently, he commented on others in a tone of pointing fingers: which car is driving badly, which car is a novice, which car nodded three times when starting, which car is good-looking and which car is really ugly, those who cut in line in the opposite lane are all a bunch of idiots, etc.
Li Mu dealt with her perfunctorily while replying to WeChat messages on his mobile phone.
The aunt asked if they wanted to wait for him to come home for dinner, and Li Qinran asked where he was.
Li Mu asked Brother Nan for his opinion and replied to his aunt that he should go back after eating outside.
Li Qinran knew that he and Brother Nan didn't eat at home after eating out, so he waited for someone to come and eat with them.
In her words, following them means eating well and it doesn't cost any money.
Eight o'clock, at the gate of the Forestry Bureau’s family quarters.
Li Qinran was standing by the roadside waiting for them, wearing a long down jacket. From the exposed part of her trouser legs, she could see that she was wearing flared jeans and a pair of high-top casual shoes. Her baby face was so white and tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
She stood there expressionless, eyes unfocused, as if she had sleepwalked here and was just standing there in a trance.
Brother Nan drove the car slowly and stopped in front of her, but she seemed not to see it.
"drop!"
Brother Nan honked the horn, waking her up.
Li Qinran frowned and was about to say something about who was so uncultured, when she saw the car window was lowered, revealing Brother Nan's face.
"Are you stupid? What are you thinking about?" Brother Nan asked.
"Hello, Brother Nan."
Li Qinran looked at the car silently, "Is this the Ferrari my aunt bought for you?"
"I bought it for your brother."
"it's the same."
Li Qinran opened the back door and got in the car. "What are we having for dinner?"
"I saw a good wild mushroom shop online, let's go try it," said Brother Nan.
"Oh."
Li Qinran glanced at the yogurt on Li Mu's legs and opened her arms. "Mr. Yogurt, did you miss me? Do you want a hug?"
