Dad's life

New Year's Eve.

Li Mu got up early, and before coming back, he promised his son that he would buy him a bunch of fireworks.

In the past two days, the snow was too thick and the outdoor temperature was very low. The snow on the road that had not yet melted was frozen into ice, making it easy to slip when driving. I could only buy a few boxes at the Cuntou Supermarket and throw them hard, and the "

Let my son enjoy the fun of throwing cannons.

Fortunately, the sun was nice yesterday.

In the afternoon, Li Mu saw more and more vehicles on the road.

So this morning, Li Mu deliberately got up early.

I set off with my son who was excited and cheering from the moment he said, "Dad, I'll take you to buy fireworks."

There used to be a traditional small market in Li Mu's hometown.

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the surrounding vendors will gather here, and you can buy everything you need for the New Year. It can't compare to the prosperity of the city, but the excitement is not bad at all.

It's a pity that a high-speed rail was later built on the east side of the village.

Two miles west of the road, another asphalt road was built running through Ningyang City and Qingyang County, resulting in the demolition of many households in the surrounding areas.

And it was during these two relocations that Li Mu's hometown, sandwiched between the high-speed rail and the asphalt road, managed to avoid the meal of the giant beast of reinforced concrete and cleverly survived.

Judging from the current situation.

It is completely impossible to live for more than ten or twenty years, but it is not a big problem to live for another three to five years.

There are fewer people.

Naturally, there is less business in the market.

In just a few years, the market, which could bring together many people, ceased to exist in name only.

Except for the residents who originally lived there, few people have gone there. On the contrary, the demolished place has completely prospered as if it has been reborn because villagers from more than a dozen places have gathered together.

The car is parked in front of the supermarket.

Li Mu led his son, who was wearing a light blue down jacket, and walked inside.

"Dad"

Li Ran's eyes lit up and he pointed at the vendors walking through the crowd.

The front end of the wooden stick was tied into an oval shape with straw, and there were many candied haws on it. Li Ran shook Li Mu's hand and said, "Buy me one, just one."

"You are losing your teeth now, so you can't eat"

Li Mu refused.

"Dad"

Li Ran refused to leave.

Those eyes were staring straight at the candied haws.

Li Mu tried to pull, but was surprised to find that his son was extremely strong today and did not pull. This was not the first time that the vendor came out to do business. He was always paying attention to the movements of the children around him. After seeing Li Ran's expression, he immediately walked through

The crowd arrived in front of him in a few quick steps.

Take one off and put it in front of Li Ran.

Then he smiled and said to Li Mu, "Ten yuan for three sticks, one stick for four yuan"

"Dad"

Li Ran did not directly reach out to take the candied haws, but continued to plead with Li Mu.

Just such a small detail proves that Li Mu has taught his son very well.

"Just one"

Li Mu helplessly scanned the QR code to pay.

As a father, even though he knows that eating sugar-coated haws on sugar haws is not good for the growth of his son’s teeth, he cannot help but be hard-hearted despite his repeated begging.

"It's better to be dad"

While Li Ran was biting the candied haws, he didn't forget to praise Li Mu.

Before Li Mu came back, his parents had already prepared all the food for the New Year, so Li Mu took his son out today mainly to buy fireworks and casually stroll around to feel the New Year atmosphere.

year.

It’s really a matter of living once and for all.

Regarding this point, Li Mu’s grandparents may have a deeper feeling.

Every year when the Chinese New Year arrives, he always sighs one or two words. When the Chinese New Year comes the next year, he sighs one or two more words. This goes back and forth many times. Li Mu’s sadness from the beginning has become numb.

In addition to storefronts, the entire street here is full of stalls selling fruits, couplets, meat, shoes, and clothes.

The sounds of all kinds of bargaining and bargaining are mixed with the honking of cars that are blocked by crowds on the road, creating a lively atmosphere unique to the New Year.

Li Mu held his son's little hand and walked around with the crowd without buying anything.

Finally, he took the initiative to buy two toy guns for his son as a New Year gift for him. Back at the entrance of the supermarket, Li Mu moved a few boxes of 96-shot Hundred Flowers, bought two boxes of six-stone fireworks, and two boxes of 88-shot Fireworks.

Of the fireworks, the rest are sky cannons, fairy wands, and pearl fireworks that my son can usually watch.

Close the trunk.

Li Mu turned his head slightly confused. He seemed to have heard someone calling his name just now, but then it turned into his brother-in-law.

This inexplicable title made Li Mu suspect that he had heard it wrong.

"It's you!"

Li Mu then smiled casually and said.

At the entrance of the supermarket, two sisters were standing there with drinks and melon seeds in their hands. Beside them, there were also two little boys chasing and playing around.

Zhong Ning, Li Mu’s blind date a few days ago.

and her sister Zhong Yan.

Compared with the past few days, Zhong Ning, who did not wear heavy makeup today, has a darker skin and looks older. If it were not for the presence of her sister and two boys, Li Mu would not be able to recognize her.

"Is this your son?"

Zhong Yan, who has a carefree personality, walked up to Li Ran, stretched out his hand and pinched his little face, and said with a smile, "The little guy is quite handsome. You and your son are both very good-looking. I think his mother is also very beautiful. Good boy."

, tell auntie what your name is, and auntie will treat you to beef jerky"

"I don't like eating beef jerky"

Li Ran shook his head, then waved politely to Zhong Yan and said "Goodbye, aunt"

"Then let's go back first"

After saying goodbye to the two sisters, Li Mu left with his son.

From beginning to end, Zhong Ning did not speak.

When Li Mu drove away, she seemed to react, holding her sister's arm with one hand, pointing to Li Mu's car badge with the other hand, and asked, "What's the name of that car? Is it valuable?"

"Sister"

Zhong Yan was dumbfounded by the two questions asked by her sister, and said, "Can you please stop being so realistic? You will regret it as soon as you see other people driving Lexus."

"Lexus?"

Zhong Ning was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is it better than the public?"

"On the same level as BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz"

Zhong Yan was not angry and said, "Do you understand? A real woman"

Next, Zhong Ning lost the desire to go shopping and kept thinking about this matter.

Back home.

She listened to her father, Lao Zhong, say, "Zhong Ning, do you still remember the Li Mu who went on a blind date with you the day before yesterday?" Xu Lan's son went to the store to buy sockets in the morning. I chatted with him casually. The Li Mu bought it on Nanshan Road the year before last.

A house of more than 100 square meters, the total price is 1.65 million"

The full payment on the back of Lao Zhong is more impactful than buying a house on Nanshan Road.

"Wow! I have a successful career, a house and a car, and besides having a son, I am simply a perfect man."

Zhong Yan let out an exclamation.

Then he turned around and asked his sister, "Please tell me what you really think now."

Zhong Ning ignored his sister's teasing.

Taking the mobile phone on the coffee table, I returned to the room, silently found a number that I hadn't had time to delete, and sent a message.

"What are you doing now?"

The question is followed by a cute emoticon.
