The car drove wildly and veered further and further, and Li Mu was frightened to see it.
The second sister Lu Yangyang’s driving skills were not very good, and Li Mu didn’t know what his sister’s intentions were. The car was driving so fast that it almost reached 130 mph in the city.
Li Mu grabbed the passenger's roof handle and felt a little frightened when he saw that his second sister was far less skilled in driving than Ye Xinyi.
Fortunately, the car only drove for twenty minutes and arrived at a two-story building in the old city.
This is a quiet old street. There are still many telephone poles that have not been removed on both sides of the street. The criss-crossing wires cast shadows like musical scores under the afterglow of the setting sun.
On the street, many children returning home from school were playing and playing. Some were kicking dirty rubber balls, while others were chasing old hens, causing chaos in the alley.
Many adults and adults set up various food stalls, and pedestrians passing by couldn't help but look at the red sports car slowly driving in.
Looking at the various lights reflected by various old-fashioned light signs, Li Mu's memory couldn't help but be pulled to a place far, far away.
The smoke of fireworks in the alley was very strong, and there were bustling crowds everywhere. The car slowly stopped in front of a two-story building with a large iron gate and an independent courtyard.
Lu Yangyang got out of the car first, took out a bunch of keys from her exquisite handbag, and opened the iron lock of the big iron door with familiarity.
Li Mu has never been here before, but he feels extremely familiar.
It was as if his entire childhood was spent here.
"Second sister, here..."
Lu Yangyang turned back with a bright smile, looked at Li Mu and said with a smile:
"Come in. Are you honored to be the first visitor here?"
He lowered his head and followed Lu Yangyang into the small door of the yard. What he saw were some planted flowers and even two small vegetable gardens, where tomatoes, cucumbers and other small vegetables that could be picked and eaten were grown.
Li Mu looked at the small cucumber buttons on the cucumber vine that were only as thick as a finger, picked the largest one, stretched out his hand and pulled it off. Lu Yangyang looked at the cucumber vine that was dangling, and she quickly cried out in distress:
"You can eat it, but can you be careful? I planted it all with my own hands! Do you know how hard it is to plow the ground? I don't even want to eat one."
Li Mu wiped off the small green thorns on the cucumber without washing it with water. He ate and walked around and said:
"Well! The second sister is doing a good job in tending this small yard. This little cucumber has no pesticides at first glance. It tastes crunchy, sweet, and has a refreshing fragrance in it. It's simply tastier than the ones sold in the market.
I know how many times more."
Lu Yangyang had a bright smile on her face. She heard that Li Mu liked to eat it. She carefully selected the melons on the stand for a long time, selected the two best ones, carefully pinched a few of them against the melon stems, held them in her hands and said:
"If you like it, eat two more. I just bought this house last year. Now that you are back, I will plant more food next year."
"I remember you liked strawberries the most when you were a child. I can try to grow some too."
Hearing Lu Yangyang's words, Li Mu smiled and nodded repeatedly, volunteered and said:
"Sure! Next year I will come as a coolie and plow the ground for you, sister."
Lu Yangyang smiled happily, led Li Mu into the house, and said as he walked:
"Let's go and take a look at my little home."
As the dim wall lamp lights up, what comes into view is a girl's unique little home.
This two-story small foreign-style building is not big. When you walk into the house, you can see the end of the living room. In the distance, guarding the window sill, there is a small, quiet fish tank. Under the sunlight, the water plants inside slowly grow.
Swinging, dozens of guppies that are easy to keep are swimming in groups inside, appearing free and unrestrained.
This is the harbor that belongs exclusively to Lu Yangyang’s soul.
Li Mu never knew that the second sister, who lived in Father Li's house all year round, actually had a small house of her own.
"It's quite cozy, second sister, is this your house?"
Lu Yangyang squatted next to the small shoe cabinet and found two pairs of small pink slippers. They were of the same style and had cartoon patterns. One pair was commonly worn, while the other pair was brand new and unopened.
Gentle as a little wife, Lu Yangyang helped Li Mu put on his slippers. Lu Yangyang skillfully took off her pure white windbreaker and hung it on a simple coat rack. Then she said with a smile:
"Everyone should have a small private space of their own."
"Normally, if I'm in a bad mood, I'll come here to take care of the flowers and plants, lie on the sofa and watch the swimming fish."
"It's a pity that it's summer now and autumn is about to begin. If it's spring and the snow hasn't completely melted yet, you can lie on the window sill on the second floor and look at the peach blossoms growing in the backyard."
"If a gust of wind blows over, and the peach blossoms on the trees are fluttering, and the undulating curtains blow into the house, don't mention how beautiful it will be."
Listening to the second sister chirping happily like a little girl showing off the small house she carefully cared for, Li Mu deliberately lay down on Lu Yangyang's sofa, held his head with his fist, tilted his head and looked in the direction of the fish tank, and asked with a smile
road;
"Like this?"
He deliberately twisted his body and one leg was slightly raised. He didn't look like he was looking at a fish, but rather like the king of the daughter country in Journey to the West.
Seeing Li Mu's shameless look, Lu Yangyang couldn't help but pounced on him angrily.
Li Mu was startled, and the two of them immediately started playing together.
All of a sudden, the pillows flew around, the fish tank next to the sofa caused ripples, and many small fish were frightened and swam around. The two of them had a fuss for a while before they stopped panting, and crowded together on a small sofa.
Staring in a daze at the fish gradually returning to calm.
The two of them were lying on the sofa quietly, and Li Mu suddenly asked:
"Yangyang, you said you brought me here to fulfill a wish of yours?"
Lu Yangyang blushed first, and then said:
"Xiao Mu, my wish is very simple, that is... to have me."
"Second sister..." Li Mu suddenly felt a little at a loss.
He couldn't guess the girl's thoughts.
Although the second sister Lu Yangyang has never concealed her love for Li Mu and has made it public many times at the dinner table, if Li Mu insists on letting the family live together forever, she will definitely agree.
But Li Mu never thought that things would develop so fast and suddenly.
It's not that the second sister is not beautiful, on the contrary, the second sister's beauty is that of a lady from a scholarly family.
If we put it in ancient times, the second sister Lu Yangyang would be like the first-class wife, dignified and generous, and extremely charming.
Because of this, Li Mu never thought about when to ask for Lu Yangyang.
In his opinion, it is best for everything to happen naturally, such as on the wedding night.
