Chapter 41: A Childhood Playmate Who Came From Afar(2/2)
Their eyes lit up and their faces showed surprise.
"Thank you, Chaoyang."
"Thank you, Brother Chaoyang!"
Li Mu smiled and suddenly remembered something. According to the plot, his mother Zhou Chunhong would come back suddenly tomorrow morning and almost bumped into Pu Pu and Yan Liang, which made Zhu Chaoyang worried for a while.
After thinking for a while, he said: "However, my mother may have to come back tomorrow morning. We have to get up early to prevent him from finding out."
Pu Pu and Yan Liang quickly nodded in agreement.
Li Mu said: "Don't worry, in a few days, I will tell my mother and let her know that you are my friend, and you can come to my house to play often."
Yan Liang and Pu Pu looked relaxed and happy after hearing this.
Next, Li Mu chatted with them and watched TV for a while.
Pu Pu is very sensible and smart. He felt that Li Mu was friendly to them, and his anxiety was finally gone.
The few of them chatted for a while and gradually became familiar with each other.
Pu Pu hesitated and asked: "Brother Chaoyang, do you have a camera at home? I want to take some photos."
Yan Liang explained: "Chaoyang, Pupu's father has passed away. She promised to burn a few photos every year. Next month is the death anniversary of Pupu's father."
"Can you help me?"
Naturally, Li Mu would not refuse. This incident may seem trivial, but it kicks off the entire plot.
It was precisely because a few people went up the mountain to take photos that they accidentally recorded the scene of Zhang Dongsheng's crime. Yan Liang and Pu Pu wanted to use this evidence to threaten Zhang Dongsheng and demand money to treat Xinxin, which triggered so many subsequent incidents and tragedies.
.
Fulfilling Pu Pu's wish is only one of them. More importantly, it is to prevent Zhang Dongsheng from committing crimes. Otherwise, how can we guide him back to the right path and be himself.
"I don't have a camera at home, but my dad has one. I'll find a way to borrow it for you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Brother Chaoyang." Pu Pu looked surprised.
After watching TV for a while, the two of them started to feel sleepy as they had not been able to eat well or sleep well for such a long time.
Li Mu arranged for the two of them to take a bath and rest.
…
Early the next morning, after several people got up and washed up, Li Mu led them out to have breakfast.
There happens to be a breakfast stall at the morning market not far from home.
Xiao Long Bao, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and bean curd. After breakfast, Li Mu paid the bill and the few of them strolled around the street. It was getting late.
Then he said goodbye to the two of them and waited for Zhou Chunhong.
As soon as I got home, my mother Zhou Chunhong came back.
"Morning sun."
Li Mu turned around and shouted: "Mom, why are you back? It will take two days!"
Zhou Chunhong smiled and said: "Your Aunt Li and I will change shifts, and I will be back."
As she said this, she walked into the house and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"My son has become successful and he knows how to help his mother clean the house."
Li Mu smiled and hesitated, could he say that Pupu helped clean it?
Zhou Chunhong rubbed his head.
"Okay, mommy will prepare delicious food for you later. Go and study hard first."
Li Mu nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to walk back into the house, the phone rang. He reached out to pick it up. It was for his mother, Zhou Chunhong.
"Mom, your phone number."
Zhou Chunhong took the phone and talked for a while, then her face darkened.
Li Mu asked: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Zhou Chunhong sighed: "I just got home. There is another fire drill organized in the scenic area. I have to go back now and I won't be able to come back for the next two days."
Li Mu immediately comforted him: "Mom, don't worry, I can take care of myself at home alone."
Zhou Chunhong looked at her sensible son in front of her and nodded happily.
He also warned: "It's just summer vacation, don't be too playful, and don't forget to study."
"By the way, I signed you up for the Mathematical Olympiad class at the Children's Palace a few days ago. I'm going to have a trial class in two days. Don't forget it."
Li Mu nodded. He couldn't escape studying during the summer vacation, and it was not easy to be a good student.
"Don't worry, Mom, I got it."
Zhou Chunhong simply packed up her things, and before leaving, she warned: "Son, there are prepared shrimp dumplings, siomai, and rice dumplings in the refrigerator. You can eat them hot, don't forget them."
Li Mu responded: "Don't worry, Mom, I got it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chunhong hurried out the door.
