100. Chapter 100 All kinds of small things in the predestined world
The vermilion double-open wooden doors made a squeaking sound, accompanied by the jingling and shaking of the door knockers, which gave it a feeling of old movie sound effects, nostalgic and warm.
The person who opened the door was a little girl who looked to be eleven or twelve years old. She was not tall and only reached Li Mengnan's collarbone.
Perhaps due to insufficient nutrition, the little girl's figure is a little thin, and she looks a bit fluttering in her pure cotton short-sleeved floral pajamas. The little bud that should be budding at this age has no signs of development at all.
, if you hadn’t looked at the long hair, you would have thought he was a handsome little boy.
But that's not the key. Li Mengnan suddenly discovered that he really knew the little girl in front of him. It was the little girl who was sent to the hospital with Wu Ansu in a car accident on the day he first arrived in Sanshan City - Xiao Baoer.
Xiao Baoer's memory was not as good as Li Mengnan's. He raised his thin eyebrows and thought hard for a while, then suddenly pointed at Li Mengnan and said in surprise: "You...you are the fate brother! Come on, come in and sit down!"
"
The little girl was extremely surprised to see her former savior again, and she didn't shy away from resentment. She enthusiastically took Li Mengnan's arm and pulled her into the house.
Inside the gate is a small courtyard similar to the layout of a courtyard in the old capital, about ten meters square from front to back, left and right, with a sunny main room facing the courtyard gate, and two smaller side rooms on both sides.
There are two doors in the side room on the right side of the entrance. One of them is locked. Judging from its dilapidation, it should be a utility room. The other door is open. You can see liquefied gas tanks, stoves and other items inside. Obviously,
It's a kitchen.
Although the door of the wing on the left is also open, it is hung with a bamboo curtain. The room is a bit dark, and you can't see the layout and furnishings inside at all from the outside.
Seeing Li Mengnan's eyes lingering on the left wing, Xiao Baoer took the initiative to explain to him: "That's the room between me and my sister. My sister doesn't like others to enter her room, otherwise I will take you in to sit there."
Li Mengnan couldn't help but said in surprise: "Xiaoqiang, you... live here?"
Li Mengnan originally thought that Xiao Baoer was a relative who came to visit her. After all, she had the same surname as her mother, Xiao Hui, but now that she mentioned her sister, Li Mengnan was a little confused about her identity.
Xiao Baoer opened a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes and seemed to not understand why Li Mengnan asked this. He said puzzledly: "Brother Yuanfen, what you are asking is really strange... This is my home. Where can I live if I don't live here?"
"But your last name is Xiao!"
"Brother Fate, you actually know that my father's surname is not Xiao?" Xiao Baoer was very surprised, "Actually, it doesn't matter. My surname is my mother's, and my sister is my father's surname."
Li Mengnan nodded to express his understanding. These days, there is no talk about marrying and obeying the husband. The woman's family also hopes to have children to carry on the family line. Although it is not common for a family with two children to take one parent's surname, it is not new.
Unexpectedly, the little girl he rescued unexpectedly turned out to be his half-sister. His "fateful brother" really made his prediction come true.
Xiao Baoer opened the door curtain and let Li Mengnan into the main room.
This kind of bungalow does not have any separation between living room and bedroom. At most, there is a partition wall when entering the door, and you can enter the house directly by bypassing the stove for burning the kang.
The furnishings in the room are very simple. Except for a 20-inch old-fashioned picture tube TV, there are almost no household appliances in the whole room. The furniture only has a kang cabinet and two wooden boxes that serve as tables. It is completely original.
The authentic appearance of a civilian family in the 1980s.
Of course, in this day and age, poverty can only be described as poverty. It would probably make even a thief shed tears.
"We usually don't have many guests coming to our house, and we don't have anything to entertain. Let's drink some water."
Xiao Baoer tiptoed and picked up an iron thermos from the big wooden box, poured a cup of hot water for Li Mengnan, and then sat opposite Li Mengnan on the edge of the Kang.
Li Mengnan put the water glass aside, looked around and asked, "Why are you the only one at home?"
"Mom said there will be guests at home today. She went out to buy groceries early in the morning. My sister went to the bathhouse to take a bath. My wound is not fully healed yet and I can't touch the water, so I stayed at home to look after the house." Xiao Baoer held the kang with both hands.
Along the side, two ivory-colored calves swayed back and forth, and he said curiously: "Brother Yuanfen, I haven't seen you since you and the police sister took me to the hospital last time. The police sister said that you are imitating Lei Feng.
If you don’t want to leave your name when doing good deeds, then why did you suddenly come to my house today?”
"If I say I miss you, would you believe me?"
Li Mengnan stretched out his hand and lightly scratched Xiao Baoer's straight little nose. He thought this little girl was cute before, but now that he knew she was his half-sister, he was even more unscrupulous in joking.
Xiao Baoer seemed to take it seriously, his little face turned red instantly, he lowered his head in a panic, not knowing where to put his hands, and stammered: "Brother Fate, this... this is too sudden... you...
You are actually a nice person, and I like you quite a lot...but I am too young and still have to go to school...How about I introduce you to my sister? My sister is very beautiful and has always been the beauty of their school.
There are so many people chasing her that every Valentine’s Day, the two of us can’t finish the chocolates we receive for several months…”
Xiao Baoer's reaction was so cute that Li Mengnan couldn't help but smile in his heart and had to quickly lower his head to avoid being seen by her.
However, in Xiao Baoer's eyes, this action became evidence that Li Mengnan was "frustrated by rejection."
The little girl suddenly felt a little soft-hearted, and gently placed her soft little hand on the back of Li Mengnan's hand. For a moment, as if she had made a lot of determination, she came to Li Mengnan's side, blushing and quickly pecked Li Mengnan's face.
For a moment.
"Brother Fate, how about you wait for me for a few more years, and when I grow up, I can be your girlfriend again?"
Li Mengnan couldn't bear it any longer. He laughed so hard that his stomach almost cramped. He put his hands on Xiao Baoer's shoulders and was about to tell her his true identity. However, he didn't want to see a fiery red figure rush in from outside the door and pull Xiao Baoer away without any explanation.
He slapped Li Mengnan with a big mouth.
Although Li Mengnan didn't notice when the other party came in, he didn't expect to be slapped in the face by an ordinary person. He leaned back slightly and avoided the sharp slap by a hair, and raised his hand to grab the other person.
wrist.
However, when Li Mengnan saw the appearance of the visitor clearly, he couldn't help but froze on the spot.
"M...Ni?"
Li Mengnan had no idea that the girl in front of him, who was carrying a bath basket and as beautiful as a hibiscus, would actually be Minnie!
"Is it you?" Minnie obviously didn't expect it to be Li Mengnan. She was slightly distracted for a moment, and then she became angry and threw the bath basket in her hand at Li Mengnan like crazy. She gritted her teeth and said: "What are you doing in my house, you bastard!"
It's not enough for you to treat me... now you're here to harm my sister! I'll fight you today!"
Xiao Baoer on the side didn't know what happened. He hugged Minnie's waist tightly from behind and said in a tearful voice: "Sister, please stop hitting, stop hitting..."
Sister? Sister? Damn, what’s going on? This relationship is about to turn into a mess...
