Chapter 189: Money-loving Sister Li Qinran
The city welcomed dusk, and the setting sun dyed the clouds in the sky pink.
It was the time to get off work and go home from school. There was some traffic jam on the road, so people were stopping and starting.
It took an hour to walk from the new district to Songshui District.
The bus turned right at a traffic light and drove into a six-lane two-way street, and everything became smooth.
It’s not that there are fewer cars, but that the buses are driving into Government Street.
The provincial government, provincial procuratorate, and provincial court are all located on this street, and the provincial public security department is not far from this street.
Therefore, during the off-get off work hours, there are two traffic policemen directing traffic at each traffic light intersection on this street. Although there are many vehicles, the traffic is smooth.
The streets are clean, and the small-leaf banyan trees on both sides are lush and neatly trimmed, which looks beautiful and not messy.
The wall behind the sidewalk is spray-painted with the 24-character core values and slogans such as "Practice Civilization and Set a New Trend".
"Where are you getting off?"
“Hongqi South Road.”
"Oh, then we're not far away."
Brother Nan reached out and touched the messenger bag on Li Mu's legs. "Take the yogurt home for me to play with. It's a good opportunity for her to help me teach Donggua a lesson. Donggua is so lazy."
"Meow?"
The kitten poked half of its head out and looked at Brother Nan, then at Li Mu.
"Sister Nan said she would take you to her house to play. She also has a cat named Donggua." Li Mu translated in a low voice.
"Go to Brother Lan's house?" The kitten's eyes were full of doubts, "Why doesn't Brother Lan live with us?"
"Brother Nan wants to go back to his own home."
“How many houses?”
"It's her parents' home."
"So are you going to Blue's parents' house?"
"I'm not going. I want to go back to my uncle's house."
"Well"
Maoer looked at Brother Nan, then at Li Mu, his eyes flickering, and thought for a while, "Then Master Yogurt will go with you first, and we will go to Brother Lan's house later."
Li Mu turned around and translated for Brother Nan.
"Great!" Brother Nan grinned and rubbed the kitten's head twice.
The bus horn sounded, indicating that the Provincial Government Station had arrived and it was time to get off.
"I'm getting off the bus." Brother Nan lowered his head and rummaged through his bag, took out two cans of honey and a bag of Matsutake mushrooms and handed them to Li Mu.
Sister Nan’s canvas bag has a large capacity, and all the local specialties she brought from the mountains are packed in her bag.
"See you at the meeting tomorrow." Li Mu reached out and took the things.
"Ok!" Brother Nan stood up.
Li Mu turned his butt half a circle on the seat and stretched his legs to the aisle to make room for Brother Nan.
After Brother Nan walked out of his seat, he returned to his original sitting position.
"Don't stay up late, and don't play games in the middle of the night." Li Mu reminded Brother Nan with some concern, "The meeting is at 9 o'clock in the morning, don't be late."
"I know, I know! Stop talking so much." Brother Nan waved his hand and walked towards the car door.
After the car stopped, Brother Nan got out in a cool manner.
Li Mu moved to Brother Nan's seat, turned his head and looked at Brother Nan through the car window.
Brother Nan also turned around, smiled sweetly at him, then raised his arm, used his hand as a gun, fired a shot at him, and made a "biu~" sound from his mouth. After firing the gun, he raised his arm up to imitate the recoil.
Li Mu smiled and waved his hand.
The cat also stretched out a little paw and waved it a few times.
The bus went farther and farther away, and when Brother Nan was no longer in sight, Li Mu turned back and gently stroked the kitten in the bag.
I haven't been home for a long time, and I still miss it a little.
The bus stop on Hongqi South Road is right in front of the Forestry Bureau staff compound.
Li Mu walked into the family compound with a messenger bag on his back and honey and matsutake in his hands. "Hey, Li Mu is back?" the guard said as he swiped the door from the inside and opened the small door for pedestrians.
"I'm back. Hello, Uncle Wang." Li Mu nodded with a smile.
Everyone living in the compound works at the Forestry Bureau. Li Mu moved in when he was in junior high school, and almost everyone in the compound knows each other.
"Glad to be back. It's Mid-Autumn Festival." The security guard, Uncle Wang, smiled and waited for Li Mu to come in before closing the door. "Your sister also came back this morning."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Wang."
ten minutes later.
Li Mu stood at the door, took out the key, opened the door and went in.
As soon as the door opened, I smelled a burst of fragrance.
There was the sizzling sound of hot oil in the kitchen, accompanied by the voices of my aunt and sister talking.
"Ran Ran, have you washed the green onions and ginger? It's time to chop them."
"OK OK."
"Now that you're done washing up, go out. Your brother should be home soon."
"Why do I feel like you treat my brother better than me?"
"You are poor!"
"Then I'll go out and wait for my brother."
As the voice fell, a girl came out of the kitchen, holding a piece of pork elbow in her hand and was stuffing it into her mouth.
"Brother! You're back!" The girl was stunned, chewed the meat quickly a few times and swallowed it.
"Yeah." Li Mu changed his shoes and turned to look at his sister Li Qinran.
The Li family has good genes and they are all very good-looking.
Li Qinran has fair skin, big eyes, and a baby-like face, which makes her look very young and very cute.
Although she is not as tall as Brother Nan, she is still about meters tall. Even when she wears home clothes and shorts, she has a pair of long legs.
"What good things did you bring?" Li Qinran walked to Li Mu in slippers.
"They are all special products from the mountains, honey and matsutake mushrooms."
"Wild?"
Li Qinran took the item in his hand and looked inside. "I heard that wild honey, especially matsutake, is very valuable. How about we go to the store and exchange it for money, then buy two bottles of honey for my dad, and split the remaining money between us?"
"."
Li Mu looked speechlessly at this money-loving sister who was as greedy as yogurt.
She works in a state-owned enterprise and earns a good monthly salary, but unfortunately she fell in love with photography and spent all her money on lenses.
At the end of every month, I would either get some money from him or from my uncle and aunt.
"How about it?"
"Not very good." Li Mu took off the messenger bag, walked to the living room, and put the bag on the sofa. "This is specially for my uncle and aunt, don't think about it."
"When did I make this decision?" Li Qinran muttered in a low voice without admitting it. She put the things on the coffee table, turned around, and saw a cat's head sticking out of the cross-body bag on the sofa.
"Brother, you have a cat!" Li Qinran ran to the sofa in two steps, squatted down, and stared at the kitten.
The cat also looked at her straight, and the person and the cat looked at each other.
"She is a wild leopard cat, a national second-class protected animal." Li Mu sat on the sofa, picked up the kitten and put it on his lap.
"Hiss, you dare to raise a protected animal?"
"I rescued him in the reserve."
Li Mu recounted the process of rescuing the kitten in detail, and Li Qinran exclaimed that the cat had a destiny with the Li family.
"What's her name?"
"yogurt."
"It sounds nice!" Li Qinran stared at the little leopard cat without blinking.
She has liked cats since she was a child and had once raised a civet cat, but unfortunately it ran away. This little leopard cat is not only beautiful, but also has a pair of lively eyes that made her fall in love with it at once.
