While taking a bath, Li Muyuan suddenly came in and handed a towel.
The eyes are facing each other.
Li Muye was a little embarrassed sitting in the bathtub: "Sister, I am already an adult."
"No matter how old you are, in my eyes you are the ass kid who smashed the glass of the old Gao family and didn't dare to go home." Li Muyuan threw the towel over and quickly backed out, and asked through the door: "You have been in China these years. How did people come here? How did they find this place? Are they coming here for immigration or short visa travel?"
"Sister, I found you with great difficulty, and I don't want to be separated from you anymore."
"Brother, have you committed anything in the country?"
"No, sister, don't guess, I will tell you slowly in the future."
"It's fine if you don't. Canada has an extradition agreement with the country. If you want to stay, you have to pay a lot of money."
"Sister, is your life okay? How is your brother-in-law treating you?" Li Muye hesitated, and finally asked, "Is he responsible for the injury on the back of your neck?"
Li Muyuan was silent for a while at the door, and said, "It's fine. Your brother-in-law is a good man. It's just that the financial crisis has caused trouble in the past few years. The money is not profitable. He works very hard every day, so he loves to drink a few drinks. Some rude behavior, don't worry, he loves your sister very much and will definitely agree to me taking you in."
The elder sister is still the elder sister, life seems to have not treated her favorably, but she still has not changed her attitude towards life.
Endure silently, even in the midst of suffering.
Li Muye is no longer the boy who used to be impulsive, ignorant and angry. He knows that the truth of life can't just look at the surface. Happy or not is like a person who knows himself when he drinks water. My sister's life is obviously not rich, and the wound on her neck makes it difficult for Li Muye to accept, but it doesn't seem to cause her much trouble. She doesn't have that kind of sadness. Entangling at this point at this time is undoubtedly naive and disappointing.
"What have you experienced in the past few years? Why did you come here?" Li Muye deliberately pretended to be ignorant of Li Muyuan's experience.
"I met a Russian technician when I was in Shenzhen, and then I went to the Republic of Yakutia with that person. Only when I got there, I realized that he was a liar." Li Muyuan said, "That person cheated someone a certain amount of money and was cheated. It was a machinery company in Quebec. They followed me when they couldn’t find him. They took me to North America first, and then they came to see that the Russian was really unwilling to pay back and forced me to work in their factory. Later I knew each other. I lost your brother-in-law, then got pregnant, got married, and stayed."
It seems that Li Zhonghua didn't tell her sister the truth, it's best for her to know nothing.
"Sister, you have suffered over the years."
"What's the pain? It's destined to be bittersweet when you are born in the world. I have two children and your brother-in-law. Now I have found you again. No bitterness in this life is worth it." Li Muyuan said: "You are slow Wash slowly, I'll make dumplings for you and make them delicious."
"It's fine to eat whatever you want, as long as you cook it, it will be the delicacy of the mountains and the sea to me."
"Hehe, a small mouth can really coax people, my brother will make women happy when he grows up." The voice got farther and farther, and he went to the kitchen to work.
Li Muyuan's home is located at the junction of the suburbs and the urban area. It is a community with a relatively concentrated immigrant population. The house is an old two-story building with a total of four rooms. There are yards in front and back. Li Muyuan planted some vegetables in the yard. It is winter. She has buckled two warm sheds, which affects the consistency of the community landscape to a certain extent.
After taking a shower, I slept in the guest room upstairs. For dinner, I ate dumplings and a braised sea fish with green pepper and pork. The two children were very happy. The boy's name is Jack, and the girl's name is Leni. They have obvious genetic characteristics of the yellow race. Both Chinese and English are very slippery. Haw asked Li Muye endlessly.
Hearing from the two children, the brother-in-law's full name is Lillard Ben Rex. Come from a family of British immigrants. Understand mechanical technology and work on fishing boats. Going out early and returning late, sometimes it takes ten and a half months to go to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is winter and there is no such job. He is a mechanic and can also do some maintenance work. The annual income is less than 40,000 Canadian dollars. He has to repay the loan every month. After removing the miscellaneous fixed expenses, there is little left. NS.
Li Muye's mood is a bit heavy, his sister's life is not rich, Li Zhonghua arranged this for her protection, or just because of irresponsibility. In short, Li Muye was moved by what he saw, and Ono was even more disappointed in Li Zhonghua.
"Brother, how did you come over these years, can you tell your sister now?" Li Muyuan mentioned the old things again when he was packing up the tableware.
Li Muye sorted out his thoughts while cleaning the bowls, and said, "I stabbed Gao Xiaosong after I sent you away, because I was too young to be sentenced, and Godmother Shi Zhenzhen came forward to protect him, and then I was gone. Later, the godmother sent me. I went to learn the craft of cooking and opened a restaurant near the special steel factory technical school."
"You are a kid, where does the money come from to open a restaurant?" Li Muyuan interrupted.
This is more troublesome to explain, and it involves Li Qizhi, so it's better not to let her know about some things. Li Muye said: "It was funded by godmother. After the restaurant made money, I returned the money to her. Later, their family also immigrated to North America. They just don't know where in North America."
Li Muyuan said: "Continue to talk about your business, what about after the restaurant opened? Why did you come here? Also, are you married?"
"I was in Russia once." Li Muye took out his mobile phone and showed his sister the picture of Diana holding Xiao Anqi at home, and said: "I actually listened to your workmates in Shenzhen talking about you and a sister. After the Russian technician left, he went to Moscow to become a transnational master, Diana I met over there."
Li Muyuan held his mobile phone and looked at him in love for a long time. He exclaimed: "My brother is really capable. This girl is more beautiful than those big stars. This child has eyes like you, black and shiny, and his hair and mouth are also like skin. With a nose like her mother, such a good daughter-in-law, how did you divorce?"
"No fate, she always hopes that I can stay in Moscow often. I want to do business on both sides. I don't plan to change my nationality and stay in Moscow, so there will be contradictions when I come and go." Li Muye lightly obscured the internal situation. , Then said: "Should I not talk about her, it's all over anyway."
Li Muyuan nodded and said, "If you don't tell me, don't tell me. My brother is so capable. She was not lucky to divorce you. What happened later?"
"Later I went back to China, opened a restaurant in Shanghai, and bought a house." Li Muye said: "The days passed but I was always thinking about you, so I went to Russia again. Diana has a Relatives who work in the government department helped to find out that you had been to Yakutia, and from Yakutia that you got a North American work visa and came here, and then I sold the restaurant in Shanghai and got together. I came to North America to find you for a sum of money."
This is vague, but it is not a lie. After the Muye Group was completely handed over to Diana, the current Brother Ono, at least nominally, no longer has much property in his own name. Even the restaurant business that cooperated with Zhou's family in China fell under the name of the assistant. Currently, there are really only two houses and a restaurant in Shanghai that are still under Li Muye's own name.
"North America is so big, it must not be easy for you to find me?" Li Muyuan asked with concern.
"It's difficult enough." Li Muye told the fabricated lie: "I hired a private detective, and also found some private channels. From the west coast to the east coast, it took many times to find Montreal, and I can't find you again. I have to sell the house in Shanghai too."
After hearing this, Li Muyuan was moved with tears, and rubbed his hands on Li Muye's cheeks, saying: "In order to find my sister, you have suffered so much. My sister is really sorry for you. It should have been me who stood firm. I contacted you immediately afterwards, but our phone number has long been unavailable. My sister’s life here is not very good. In the past few years, the two children have been born consecutively. Your brother-in-law has experienced another unemployment. There are still some problems with the visa. A lot of things got together, and I didn't go back to find you. It was my sister who couldn't help you, and made you suffer."
Li Muye said: "Sister, what are you saying stupid? How come you can't hold me back? You pulled me up. How much wronged and suffering I have suffered, can I not know in my heart? Our sisters and brothers will never say who is sorry, and now that I have found you, I must let you live a good life with brother-in-law and the children."
"Sister doesn't want this." Li Muyuan said: "Sister hopes that you will have a good life on your own, and you will start a family soon, marry a good woman and give birth to a son in the Li family to spread the incense. I am a sister who is worthy of treating our sister. My brother has brought to the ancestors of the world." Then he said, "Don’t you have a house in Shanghai? I can hear people from China say that the house price in Shanghai is higher than here. You live here. Day, and then go back to China. Sister doesn’t want you to leave, but because Sister now knows that you are doing well in the country, you should stay in the country and continue to develop. You have crafts and a house, so you can definitely find it there. A good wife."
Li Muye said, "Sister, I won't go anymore. I will be wherever you are. When I look back, I will ask Meng Fanbing to help sell the house in Shanghai. Let's open a Chinese restaurant here and we can still live a good life. When the time comes, you will be the big boss, and I will be the little boss and cook."
"How can it work, oops, that can't work." Li Muyuan said: "The current economic downturn is not as good as the domestic legend has it. Many people choose to return to China to start their own businesses after losing their jobs. You all know that opening a Chinese restaurant here lacks that food culture atmosphere. Your money is hard-earned, but you can’t blindly throw it in this ghost place for your sister. Don’t you know how difficult it is for Chinese to emigrate to do business."
"It's okay, I have been fully mentally prepared for the difficulties." Li Muye said: "No matter how many objective difficulties there are in the profession of a chef, in the final analysis, as long as there is a good taste, everything else is just a trivial matter."
"Uncle, what do you mean by side effects?" Little Laini ran over and interjected.
Li Muye rubbed her forehead dozingly, and explained: "It's just a small issue that is not important and has nothing to do with the overall situation."
Li Muyuan sighed, and said: "You have an idea since you were a child, and no one can understand what you are thinking. Anyway, I have said everything that should be said. If you really lose money, you can go sailing with your brother-in-law. But those ghost days are not something ordinary people can bear." The words were quite worried.
While talking, there was a sound of opening the door, little Jack ran upstairs in fright, but Little Laini ran to the door to prepare slippers. Li Muyuan glanced at the wall clock on the wall, sighed lightly, and said: "Wait, no matter what you hear, don't get angry, don't be a lot of meddling, have you heard?"
Before Li Muye had time to agree, the door opened, and the wind and snow rushed into the house, wrapped in alcohol. A drunk man broke in from the outside, took the slippers that Little Laini had handed, and threw it aside, wearing shoes. He staggered into the room, spoke an American English accent, opened his mouth and cursed: "Smelly girl, bring me beer..." He ran into Li Muye, who was greeted by him, and suddenly became furious, and waved his hand regardless of the indecision. Just a punch! (End of this chapter)
