Li's father and mother, who arrived in Yanjing in the afternoon, were busy working in the villa.
When the two of them arrived, they brought a whole cart full of daily necessities and ingredients. Not only the trunk was full, but also the back seat was full.
Li Mu originally arranged for Taobao employees to deliver a large number of daily necessities to his home, so as soon as the family of three reunited, they began to work together to clean up the house and various daily necessities.
Li Mu deliberately added an extra large side-by-side refrigerator in the living room to match the side-by-side refrigerator in the kitchen, so he could barely put in some ingredients that needed to be refrigerated and frozen. Li's mother even told him to order another one. Such a large side-by-side refrigerator is placed in the restaurant, which can be used to stack some milk, juice, fruit and ready-to-eat meals.
After hearing this, Li Mu was shocked from ear to ear. With three large refrigerators in a house, are they a bit too much energy storage
Li Ma has her own opinion on this. She thinks that excess energy storage is a good thing at this time. If the energy storage is large, the reserve will naturally increase. It can be used to store a large amount of food. It is best if the epidemic becomes serious and a family of three can It’s best if you can stay at home for a month without going out without starving yourself.
Li Mu said: "Mom, you are a bit too extreme. The country has been very timely and effective in controlling the epidemic. The epidemic will not be as serious as you are worried about."
Li Ma did not agree with Li Mu's statement. She said to Li Mu very seriously: "The ancestors' religion gave us four words: be prepared for any disaster. It is always better to prepare for everything in advance than to scratch your head at the last minute. No one can say anything about the epidemic. Okay, so it’s better to be cautious.”
Dad Li echoed from the side: "Son, your mother is right. I think it's a waste to have the turf in the yard of your villa empty. How about I carve out a few ridges of land to grow some fruits and vegetables? You don't have to go out to buy them." Fresh vegetables…”
Li Mutou said with a huge head: "Dad, when the vegetables you plant grow, the epidemic will be over!"
"Your mother is right, you must be prepared. You, never be so optimistic in the face of danger!" Dad Li's expression was extremely serious. After speaking, without waiting for Li Mu to respond, he added: "Your mother and I brought ten kilograms of garlic. , when I went out this morning, I made a special trip to the vegetable wholesale market to buy it. Later, we will peel two pounds of garlic and plant it in the soil. In the next week, garlic sprouts will sprout. Cut them and eat them. After cutting one crop, it continues to grow!”
"Oh my God..." Li Mu exclaimed, "Do you really want to grow vegetables in the yard?"
"Yes!" Dad Li said, "I asked your uncle to buy some vegetable seeds from the seed station. I will plant them as soon as I clear the land tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
After saying that, Dad Li sighed: "If you only have time, let's make some shelves together. It will be useful for growing cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes and so on in the future."
Li Mu rubbed his temples and said, "If you feel good about it, just plant it. I'll get off work early these two days and come to give you a hand."
Dad Li thought that Li Mu recognized his idea, nodded and said: "I have watched a lot of Hollywood movies recently, many of which are about the end of the world. From this, I realized a truth, if the end of the world really comes one day, , whether it is an alien invasion, an infectious disease outbreak, or a war, supplies are always the most important."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dad Li thought of something and added: "By the way, I heard that Americans are afraid of nuclear war, so they dug tens or hundreds of meters deep to build shelters. Not only are they resistant to nuclear bombs, but they also have a full set of The power supply, water circulation, and air circulation system are full of various supplies. It is said that if a nuclear war really breaks out one day, he can live in it for several years without going out. You have to learn this sense of worry... "
Li Ma also echoed: "I think what your dad said is really worth learning from. Buy an island abroad or something, and spend a sum of money to clean it up. If the world encounters any big changes in the future, you There is also a way out..."
Li Mu was completely speechless. After a long while, he asked angrily: "How did you two evolve this idea? You were not so surprised before! When I was a child, I remember the time when American zombies were spread everywhere. Adults and children are all so scared. Mom, you don’t believe it at all. You keep saying that others are stupid. What’s going on now..."
Li Ma said with a serious face: "Is it the same now as before? In the past, our family's total wealth was only tens of thousands of yuan. Now you are worth so many zeros that I, your mother, can't even count them. When you are poor, you can eat It’s okay to be careless about Fanyancai. That’s not conditional. You can’t care less now, you know. How much money you make now is secondary. The main thing is that you have to cherish your own life. To have that awareness, parents can How many years will I stay with you? You have to prepare a complete escape route for yourself in the future... "
Li Mu hurriedly changed the subject: "Well, Mom, how about I buy two more refrigerators, or we find a house and turn it into a cold storage, and then go to Xinfadi to wholesale a cart of vegetables, prepare a year's supply, and go there You and Dad won’t leave Yanjing in the next year, and it just so happens that you can spend more time with me, so that our family of three can stay together for a while."
Li Ma waved her hand and said: "If the epidemic doesn't end, let alone one year, even ten years, your father and I will be here to accompany you. But if the epidemic ends, we still have to go back quickly. We can't give you any trouble once we get here." It's troublesome and it affects your career. Secondly, your dad and I still have careers to do in our hometown, so it's a pity to lose it."
Seeing that the topic had returned to its normal level, Li Mu nodded slightly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Li's mother said: "You two go ahead and clean up. I'll go to the kitchen to cook. In the evening, I'll make my son's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs since he was a child."
Li's mother went to the kitchen, and Li Mu was putting things away with her father. At this time, Xie Yun called Li Mu.
"Hey, Aunt Xie, where have you been?"
Xie Yun smiled and said: "I am still in Qilu Province, and it is still more than three hours' drive from Yanjing. Have your parents arrived in Yanjing?"
"We're here." Li Mu said, "They set off early and arrived at around four o'clock in the afternoon."
Xie Yun said hurriedly: "It's good that we arrived safely. Auntie just called me to ask, just to put her mind at ease."
"Thank you for your concern."
"In that case." Xie Yun smiled slightly and said: "By the way, Li Mu, tell your parents that it might be too late for aunt to arrive in Yanjing, so we won't go visit today. Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, aunt What do you think about cooking at home and coming over with your parents?"
Li Mu hasn't told his parents about Zhao Ziqiu. In fact, his parents don't know much about his relationship status. When Xie Yun mentioned inviting him and his parents over for dinner, he didn't know what to do. How to explain to my parents.
However, not meeting her seemed unrealistic. After all, Zhao Ziqiu's mother knew about her relationship with her, and they lived so close to each other. For reasons that were reasonable, she had to visit her, so her parents could not avoid contact with Zhao Ziqiu's mother.
Just say that Zhao Ziqiu is his girlfriend
Li Mu was willing to admit it, but after all, the nature of the contact was between the parents of both parties. If the relationship was made public at the parents' level now, how would Su Yingxue explain it to her parents in the future...
Li Mu suddenly felt melancholy again.
The only blame is that I was not persistent enough. If I had identified Su Yingxue as the one and then refused all other temptations, I would not have fallen into such a tangled situation.
However, when I think of Zhao Ziqiu again, how can I refuse such a girl? So I gradually became that bastard who wants both fish and bear's paws...
Just as she was feeling melancholy, Xie Yun seemed to have guessed Li Mu's thoughts, but she also knew very well that Li Mu still didn't know that she had understood Su Yingxue's existence, so she said in a very relaxed tone: "You don't have anything else to say. Psychological pressure. You and Ziqiu are indeed not old enough for both parents to be honest with each other, so when the time comes, tell your parents that Ziqiu is your classmate and I am your classmate’s mother. We happen to live close to each other, so we can walk around. .”
Li Mu felt extremely grateful. Although escape was not the final solution, at least he could overcome the current situation...
So, Li Mu agreed to Xie Yun and told his parents that a friend's mother was also coming to Yanjing to be with her children, and they both lived in Ziyun Villa, a few minutes' walk away. The other party wanted to invite a family of three over for dinner tomorrow. , get to know each other, walk around.
Father Li and Mother Li were very surprised and very happy. They did not expect to meet parents like themselves who came to Yanjing for the sake of their children. Moreover, they all lived in the same community. This was great, and they had the right personalities and personalities. Friends of Luzi, in the future, everyone must go out of Ziyun Villa as little as possible, so with more friends, life will have more people and one person who can move around, and it will not be so boring, so this matter is important to them Said it was excellent.
However, Li Ma felt that others came to Yanjing later than she did, unlike her who came earlier and had everything packed up in advance. Therefore, in this case, it was really embarrassing to let others bother to prepare dinner. It was better to prepare dinner by herself tomorrow. Invite the other woman's wife to your home for a meal.
Father Li thinks so too, and thinks Mother Li's idea is more reasonable.
Li Mu said, "If they invited us first, we will definitely invite them too; if we invited them first, they will definitely invite us again, so don't worry too much about it. We will invite them back in two days."
…
Li's father and Li's mother came to Yanjing and gave Li Mu great encouragement and support. Xie Yun, who arrived in Yanjing a few hours later than Li's father and Li's mother, also gave Zhao Ziqiu a complete sense of security. She was not afraid of other things. People were afraid of SARS. What she was afraid of was leaving Yanjing and not having the chance to see Li Mu again for several months.
An infatuated woman will always burst out with great courage because of her feelings, and this is the case with Zhao Ziqiu.
Xie Yun is indeed a mother who loves her daughter very much. After more than ten hours of hard work, the first thing she did when she arrived in Yanjing was to pick up Zhao Ziqiu from Yanjing University.
Since Li Mu and Zhao Ziqiu's Zhao family villa in Ziyun Villa was broken into by her parents, the villa key in Zhao Ziqiu's hand has become invalid. He has no way to go to the villa to wait, so he can only wait for his mother to come at school.
The moment Zhao Ziqiu got into the car, Xie Yun held her in his arms and stroked the back of her head without saying anything for a long time. After a long time, he sighed helplessly: "Silly child, you are so stupid, how did you get into the exam in the first place?" From Yan University?"
Zhao Ziqiu winked at his mother and said playfully: "I didn't even know Li Mu before I took the college entrance examination..."
Xie Yun looked at Zhao Ziqiu, speechless.
When she said she was stupid, she was also alluding to her overly persistent and obsessed feelings for Li Mu. She didn't say it clearly, but she knew that her daughter would understand in her heart, but she didn't expect that this girl would directly pierce the window paper. , and said what was in his heart so casually and naturally.
Xie Yun could only sigh with emotion, and while instructing the driver to drive to Ziyun Villa, she was worried in her heart. She was so in love with Li Mu, what would she do if they couldn't get together in the future
The child is still studying now, but in three years or five years, he will have to face this problem. By then, can Li Mu be disconnected from Su Yingxue? After being disconnected, can he and his daughter get together legitimately? After coming together, can we achieve positive results
Xie Yun herself felt very unsure.
Li Mu now is much more powerful than when she first knew Li Mu, and he has burst out with huge energy and potential like nuclear fusion. This kind of energy is far beyond what she can help her daughter control in the future. If my daughter and Li Mu don't get married, what should this stupid girl who is full of love and water do? Can you accept that reality by then
The further she thought about it, the more insecure Xie Yun felt for her daughter.
However, thinking about Li Mu's parents who had already arrived in Yanjing, Xie Yun suddenly had a glimmer of hope that she could catch them.
So, Xie Yun touched Zhao Ziqiu's face and said dotingly: "Mom has made an appointment with Li Mu to invite him and his parents to dinner at our house tomorrow night. You have to behave well."
"Ah?" Zhao Ziqiu suddenly panicked, and she hurriedly said: "How can I meet Li Mu's parents? I'm with him now..."
Xie Yun quickly interrupted her and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
There were also drivers and assistants in the car. Although they were very trustworthy people, Xie Yun still didn't want them to know the things behind her daughter's relationship with Li Mu.
After saying this, Xie Yuncai said to Zhao Ziqiu: "You and Li Mu are still relatively young, especially since you have to focus on your studies now, so I mean, don't tell Li Mu's parents about your relationship. Otherwise, if his parents know and I know too, then the meaning behind our meal tomorrow night will be too heavy. In order for you to relax and save some worry, I told Li Mu and told his parents first, Say you are good friends."
Zhao Ziqiu breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, she wouldn't feel too awkward.
However, Xie Yun still reminded: "Although you are telling his parents as a friend, you should also be more careful. For boys, especially boys with filial piety, their parents' opinions and preferences are very important to them." The impact is huge, so you have to try your best to perform better, you know?"
Zhao Ziqiu nodded confusedly: "I understand, Mom..."
