After leaving the mall, Li Mu wandered aimlessly on the street for a while, feeling the atmosphere of this era, and then took the bus home.
The weather was quite hot, so Li Mu simply took a shower, put on the new clothes he bought, and looked in the mirror.
Yes, he is much more handsome and energetic than before. But his hair style cannot be redesigned, even with his half-inch-long crew cut.
I took out the money Zhu Yongping gave me and counted it. It was pretty good, there were three thousand seven, so I finally had some spare money.
Otherwise, it will not be easy to operate next.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Li Mu opened the door and saw Yan Liang and Pu Pu.
"I went to my dad's place in the morning and bought some clothes. You must have been waiting for a long time!"
Yan Liang said embarrassedly: "No, we went shopping for a long time and just came back."
"Brother Chaoyang, the clothes you are wearing are so beautiful." Pu Pu interjected next to him.
"Thanks!"
"Come in and rest first!" Li Mu saw that the two of them were a little tired and their lips were a little dry, so he took a bottle of water for each of them from the refrigerator.
The two of them were indeed thirsty, so they drank straight away.
After resting for a while, Li Mu asked: "Have you eaten?"
Yan Liang hesitated: "We, we..."
Li Mu waved his hand and interrupted: "I haven't had lunch yet, let's go and eat outside together."
Yan Liang immediately shut up. He and Pupu had no money at the moment. They wandered around in the morning, trying to find a job. They were too young and couldn't find one at all.
I wanted to go back to Chaoyang's house, but the door was locked and I couldn't go back. I was thirsty and had no money to buy water, so I had to wait in a nearby alley.
They noticed Chaoyang as soon as he arrived home, and immediately wanted to follow him, but Pu Pu stopped him. They waited for another ten minutes before knocking on the door.
At this moment, Li Mu invites him to dinner, so he can still bear it.
"Okay, thank you Chaoyang."
"Thank you, Brother Chaoyang." Pupu also thanked him.
Li Mu led the two of them out and walked around the neighborhood. Passing by a newly opened KFC, he saw the two of them looking inside curiously with bright eyes.
In 2006, not long after KFC entered the mainland, it was quite fashionable, especially attractive to children.
Li Mu stopped and gestured.
"That's it."
With that said, he walked in first.
Yan Liang and Pu Pu looked at each other. They grew up in an orphanage. They had heard of KFC and knew it was opened by foreigners. They were curious about it, but they had never eaten it.
I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity now, so I immediately followed him in excitedly.
More than half an hour later, the two of them followed Li Mu, rubbing their bellies and walking out with satisfied expressions on their faces.
That appearance made Li Mu wonder if it really smells that good?
Thinking about the time when the two of them were wandering around, I instantly understood the saying "Don't persuade others to do good without suffering others' suffering."
If you have never been hungry or half-dead from hunger after a full meal, you will not know how to cherish food and how delicious eating is! What a beautiful enjoyment it is to eat!
After leaving KFC, the dirty clothes on both of them were very eye-catching. They had no money to buy new ones along the way and couldn't find a place to wash them. It was good to keep things like this.
"Let's take you somewhere." Li Mu said.
The two of them didn't know where Li Mu was taking them, but after the previous events, they became very obedient and immediately followed.
This time, Li Mu took them to a good mid-range clothing mall nearby.
There are many shops selling clothes on the streets of Ningzhou, and the prices are very low, so you need to bargain. The price is good, and clothes worth two hundred can be bought for fifty. If you don't have the confidence, you can only pay more.
If these children go to a street clothing store like this to buy clothes, they will definitely be targeted for being ripped off.
It's better to go to this clothing mall. The prices are not expensive and the quality is guaranteed. The key is to clearly mark the price, so you don't have to haggle back and forth, and you don't have to worry about being ripped off.
Zhu Chaoyang has accompanied his mother here several times, and he still has impressions.
Entering the mall, Li Mu skillfully called a shopping guide and asked her to match Yan Liang and Pu Pu with two outfits each.
Only then did the two of them understand Li Mu's intentions and wanted to refuse, but with Li Mu's insistence, they accepted.
They really need to buy clothes. They wear them every day, and they don't even have a change of clothes. They are all smelly.
Then, it took half an hour and eight hundred to buy two sets of clothes for each of the two people from top to bottom. Seeing the two people smiling happily, Li Mu was in a good mood.
After settling the bill, Li Mu led Yan Liang and Pu Pu, who were carrying large and small bags, out of the mall.
"Chaoyang, thank you."
"Thank you, Brother Chaoyang."
Li Mu waved his hand: "You're welcome, we are friends."
"I've bought the clothes and I'll find you a place to stay later."
The two of them didn't know where Li Mu was going to find them a place to stay, but they followed him obediently. Li Mu's behavior during the day had made them used to it.
Then, he took the two of them to an urban village not far from his home. In 2006, you could rent a house in an urban village without even looking at your ID card. You could just pay for it.
Moreover, you don’t need to pay a deposit, you only have to pay it every month you stay, which saves trouble and convenience.
He led the two of them around and chose a place with a good environment and atmosphere. There was no living room, only two small bedrooms, a small kitchen, and a small bathroom.
After some haggling, the monthly rent was set at four hundred and fifty, and Li Mu paid it on the spot.
Living in an orphanage, the journey was bumpy and wandering. When did the two of them have a stable place to live and a private space? When the landlord handed them the keys, both of them were overjoyed. With excitement on their faces, they put all the dissatisfaction and
The stress is temporarily forgotten.
Later, I accompanied the two of them to the supermarket and bought them their own mats and blankets. In summer, they don’t need quilts, so it’s not necessary to buy them.
To arrange some daily necessities properly, the total cost was two to three hundred.
After returning to the rental house and tidying up, the two of them looked at the brand-new residence and suddenly felt a sense of happiness in their hearts and felt the warmth of home.
They made an appointment to go to Liufeng Mountain to take pictures tomorrow. Before leaving, Li Mu thought of something. He took out the money from his pocket and counted five hundred.
Seeing the two people's confused looks, Li Mu patted the money into Yan Liang's hand: "I don't have much money in my hand. This is five hundred. You can save some and use it as your daily expenses."
Both of them were grateful and excited.
Yan Liang wanted to refuse, but he really didn't have the courage to refuse. They didn't have any money and they really needed money to live.
"Chaoyang, thank you, you will always be my best friend." He said with red eyes.
Pu Pu also said sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Chaoyang, we will repay you."
Li Mu smiled at the two of them: "Okay, aren't we friends? We should help each other."
"Goodbye!" he said, waving his hands and walking outside the village in the city.
