Chapter 41

A few noisy human voices came from outside the window, Li Mu opened his eyes, and he has become a teenager, sitting on the sofa reading a book.

As a wave of memory hit him, he suddenly understood that he had become Zhu Chaoyang, the protagonist of the TV series, a child under the age of 14, and also the core of the whole drama.

As the perennial first grader, Zhu Chaoyang is as smart as a genius, but he is taciturn and does not fit in with others and has no friends.

His parents divorced early, and he lived with his mother. His father had remarried and had a daughter. He lived a happy life and didn't care about his son.

When her mother was away from work, Chaoyang was always alone,

There are many debates about this character. Some people say that he is innocent, and some people say that Zhu Chaoyang is the biggest boss of this show, and he has calculated everyone.

He actually became Zhu Chaoyang directly.

This crossing carried three missions, and the difficulty was not small.

[-]. Stop evil from happening.

[-]. Help Yan Liang and Pupu return to normal life.

[-]. Guide Zhang Dongsheng back to the right path and be himself.

Several tasks are difficult.It is easier to stop the evil from happening and help Yan Liang and Pupu; it is really not easy to guide Zhang Dongsheng back to the right path and to be himself.

It would be fine if he was an adult, but it's a pity that he is only a minor. If he wants force but not force, and financial resources but not financial resources, how can he reform Zhang Dongsheng.This guy doesn't look gentle on the outside, but he's a ruthless guy!

As a Mathematical Olympiad teacher in the Children's Palace, he has no official establishment and earns a modest salary, so he is not liked by his father-in-law.

Zhang Dongsheng is a gentle and good man who takes care of his family. He is proficient in shopping, cooking, and housekeeping.

If he hadn't stayed in the Children's Palace as a teacher, he would have switched to other industries or started a business.With his IQ and character, his rigorous layout ability, tenacity, and his ruthlessness, he will definitely achieve something in the big wind at the turn of the century.

It's a pity that, for the so-called love, he is willing to be a house-husband. Although he manages the family in an orderly manner, his career has been stagnant without making any progress.

As his wife Xu Jing's career is getting better and better, the income gap between the husband and wife leads to the beginning of the tragedy.

……

After receiving the memory, Li Mu sat on the sofa, thinking about how to proceed next.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Li Mu frowned. It was evening and it was already dark.According to memory, her mother, Zhou Chunhong, just left home this morning to go to work in the scenic spot, and it will take two days to come back.

He has no acquaintances, no classmates looking for him to play with, it's all over, who is knocking on the door?

Two figures suddenly flashed in his mind, Li Mu got off the sofa, put on his slippers and went to open the door.

"Who is it!"

While talking, he opened the door and looked out through the anti-theft door with the old-fashioned iron fence.

There was a boy and a girl outside the door, their faces were somewhat familiar, their clothes were dirty, but their eyes were very bright, couldn't they be Yan Liang and Pu Pu!
Before Li Mu could speak, Yan Liang said nervously: "Chaoyang, long time no see!"

"do you remember me?"

Li Mu looked at the two of them carefully again, looked at their hopeful eyes, and said, "You are Yan Liang!"

While speaking, he opened the anti-theft door.

Yan Liang was very happy to see Li Mu recognized him, and hurriedly introduced him to Pupu next to him.

"Pupu, this is Zhu Chaoyang, my best friend when I was young."

Pupu looked a little pale and haggard. He couldn't eat or sleep well during this time, and suffered a lot.

Seeing Li Mu, he smiled sweetly and called out, "Brother Chaoyang, my name is Pupu."

Seeing that she was so young, yet so well-behaved and sensible, Li Mu also smiled and said, "Hello, Pupu."

With that said, invite the two of you into the house.

When they sat down and looked at their appearances, it was obvious that they hadn't eaten dinner yet, Li Mu said: "You guys haven't eaten yet! I'll give you some hot food."

Saying that, without waiting for the two to reply, he got up and went into the kitchen.Since Zhou Chunhong is often not at home, he prepared a lot of cooked food for him, which can be eaten as soon as it is warmed up.

Waiting for Li Mu to carry a plate of shrimp dumplings and a plate of siu mai, and put them on the dining table.The aroma of the food made the two of them who hadn't had a full meal during this period swallow involuntarily, but they behaved politely without moving their chopsticks.

When Li Mu saw it, he smiled and said, "Yan Liang, we were best friends when we were young, and Pu Pu is also my friend now."

"Don't be polite to me, eat!"

The two looked at each other and smiled. Li Mu's friendly attitude reassured the two who had been anxious.

Only then did he pick up the chopsticks and start eating happily.

Li Mu went to the kitchen again and made a cup of soy milk for the two of them.

Pupu opened his big eyes, and thanked very sensiblely: "Thank you, Brother Chaoyang!"

Yan Liang also said: "Thank you, Chaoyang."

Li Mu smiled: "You're welcome, we are good friends."

He said with doubts again: "You are..."

Yan Liang was straightforward, seeing that Li Mu hadn't forgotten him as a friend, and his attitude was so good, he didn't hide it, so he immediately told him about it.

……

After listening to Yan Liang's words, Li Mu had a look of surprise on his face: "So, you guys escaped from the orphanage?"

Pu Pu continued, "Brother Chaoyang, we didn't run out on purpose. My younger brother Xinxin was adopted more than a year ago. Some time ago, there was news that he had leukemia, and the family that adopted him had no money to treat him. I want to see my brother and find a way to raise money for his treatment."

Li Mu made a surprised expression on his face: "Leukemia is not easy to cure, and it needs a lot of money. How do you raise it?"

Pupu said in a disappointed tone: "Yan Liang said that he had an uncle in Ningzhou, who was a good friend with his father back then, and said that he could ask him for anything...We asked him to borrow money, but..."

As he spoke, his tone became lower and lower, and the result was obvious.

In this regard, Li Mu also understands that a child from a friend's family who ran away from the orphanage said that he wanted to borrow 30 yuan from you for the treatment of the younger brother of a friend he knew in the orphanage, and he would definitely pay it back in the future.

Are you borrowing?Or not to borrow?
According to memory, it is now 06, and Huan Zhu Ge Ge is still replayed from time to time. 30, a suite in a second-tier city in China.Not to mention underage children, even adults, it is very difficult to borrow so much money.

It is almost impossible for the two orphans to borrow money to treat Pupu's younger brother Xinxin.Only children are so naive, thinking that someone will lend them.

"What are you going to do in the future?"

The two were stunned for a while, and after thinking for a long time, Yan Liang said: "We want to work part-time to earn money and treat Xinxin's illness."

Li Mu said: "You are underage, you belong to child labor, and no one is willing to use it. Especially Pupu, who looks like a minor at first glance, and no one will use it."

Yan Liang insisted: "I can. I'm tall. I heard that the dock does not need an ID card to move goods. I will go to the dock to help people unload."

Li Mu shook his head: "The pier is very messy, it's not that easy to mess with. You should go to school now, and you will have a future in the future."

Yan Liang was frustrated: "What about Xinxin? His illness can't wait, and it will be too late after school. We can't just let Xinxin do nothing!"

Li Mu thought for a while, and said another cruel reality: "It will take many years to save up to 30 yuan by working at the dock, and it is actually too late!"

Hearing what Li Mu said, the eyes of the two of them suddenly dimmed, and their expressions became more and more depressed.

Li Mu sighed slightly, thought for a while and suggested: "Actually, the best way is to contact charity organizations and ask them to help raise money. It's much more convenient than you working to earn money."

The eyes of the two people brightened.

Pupu looked hopeful and said, "Brother Chaoyang, how can I contact a charity organization to help Xinxin raise money!"

Li Mu thought for a while: "I'm not very familiar with these, let's think of a way together!"

Things took a turn for the better, and Pupu's complexion improved a lot, and he nodded heavily.

"Thank you Brother Chaoyang."

……

After chatting for a while, the two of them finished their meal, and Pupu went to wash the dishes diligently.Li Mu didn't stop him, it's not good to be too polite.

Wait till everything is sorted out.

Pupu came over again and asked cautiously, "Brother Chaoyang, can I use your phone to call my brother Xinxin?"

Li Mu smiled: "It's okay, use it!"

"Thank you Brother Chaoyang." Pupu smiled obediently and went to the side to make a call.

……

After hanging up the phone, the two sat at home for a while, and it was getting late.

Seeing that they were at a loss, hesitant to speak, Li Mu knew that they had no place to live, and wanted to stay overnight, but he didn't know how to speak.

Li Mu said directly: "Yan Liang, Pupu, you just came to Ningzhou today, do you have a place to live?"

Hearing this, the two shook their heads silently.

Li Mu paused for a moment, seeing that they looked hopeful and nervous, and then said, "Why don't you just make do with my house for a couple of days, and then move out when you find a place."

Their eyes lit up, and surprise appeared on their faces.

"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 Pupu and Yan Liang, which made Zhu Chaoyang worried for a while.

After thinking about it, he said, "However, my mother may come back tomorrow morning. We have to get up early so that he can't find out."

Pu Pu and Yan Liang quickly nodded in agreement.

Li Mu said: "Don't worry, after a few days, I'll tell my mom and let him know that you are my friend, so you can come to my house often."

Yan Liang and Pupu had relaxed expressions on their faces when they heard this, and they looked a little happy.

Next, Li Mu chatted with them and watched TV for a while.

Pupu is very sensible and smart, and when he felt Li Mu's friendly attitude towards them, his uneasiness was finally gone.

They chatted for a while, and gradually became familiar with each other.

Pupu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Chaoyang, do you have a camera at home? I want to take some photos."

Yan Liang explained: "Chaoyang, Pupu's father passed away. She promised to burn a few photos every year. Next month will be the anniversary of Pupu's death."

"Can you help?"

Naturally, Li Mu would not refuse. This incident seemed trivial, but it opened up the whole plot.

It was precisely because several people went up the mountain to take pictures that they inadvertently recorded the scene of Zhang Dongsheng's crime.Yan Liang and Pupu wanted to use this evidence to threaten Zhang Dongsheng and ask for money to treat Xinxin's illness, which led to so many subsequent incidents and so many tragedies.

Satisfying Pupu's wish is only one of them, and more importantly, preventing Zhang Dongsheng from committing a crime.Otherwise, how can I guide him back to the right path and be himself.

"I don't have a camera at home, but my dad does. I'll find a way to borrow it for you tomorrow."

"Thank you Brother Chaoyang." Pupu was surprised.

After watching TV for a while, the two of them couldn't eat or sleep well for such a long time, and they were already starting to feel sleepy.

Li Mu arranged for the two to take a bath and rest.

……

Early the next morning, after they woke up and washed, Li Mu led them out for breakfast.

In the morning market not far from home, there happened to be an early morning stall.

Xiaolongbao, soymilk, deep-fried dough sticks, bean brains, after breakfast, Li Mu settled the bill, and the few of them strolled around the street, it was getting late.

Only then did he bid farewell to the two and wait for Zhou Chunhong.

As soon as he got home, his mother Zhou Chunhong came back.

"Chaoyang."

Li Mu turned around and shouted, "Mom, why are you back? Didn't it take two days!"

Zhou Chunhong smiled and said, "Your Auntie Li and I changed shifts, and I'll be back."

As she walked into the room, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"The son is promising, and he knows to help mother clean up."

Li Mu smiled and was vague. Can he say that Pupu helped clean it up!
Zhou Chunhong rubbed his head.

"Okay, mom will cook something delicious for you later, go and study hard first."

Li Mu nodded, yes, just as he was about to go back into the house, the phone rang, and he reached out to pick it up, it was for his mother, Zhou Chunhong.

"Mom, your phone number."

Zhou Chunhong answered the phone, and after talking for a while, her face darkened.

Li Mu asked, "Mom, what's the matter!"

Zhou Chunhong sighed: "I just got home, and there is another fire drill 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: "Mom, don't worry, I can take care of myself by myself at home."

Zhou Chunhong looked at the sensible son in front of him, and nodded in relief.

He also warned: "Just after the summer vacation, don't be too playful, and don't forget to study."

"By the way, I signed you up for the Math Olympiad class in the Children's Palace a few days ago, and I will have a trial class in two days, don't forget."

Li Mu nodded, he couldn't escape studying even during the summer vacation, and it was not easy to be a good student.

"Don't worry, Mom, I understand."

Zhou Chunhong simply packed up his things, and before leaving, he reminded: "Son, there are ready-made shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and rice dumplings in the refrigerator. You can eat them hot, don't forget."

Li Mu responded, "Don't worry, Mom, I understand."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Chunhong hurried out the door.
