The two little lolita kept their promise. Although they ate ice cream before the meal, they still ate so much during the meal that their bellies were bulging and they couldn't move even while lying on the sofa.
Lin Lu sat with his mother for a while, saw that the time was already eight o'clock, and prepared to go back.
"You can eat glutinous rice balls before going back later. Mom will drive you there."
"I still haven't finished making the rolls. The glutinous rice balls are too greasy. I'd better go back and make the rolls."
Hearing that Lin Lu was about to leave, the two sisters got up from the sofa and lay on the armrests of the sofa, looking at him with some reluctance.
"Brother, are you going back?"
"What, you want to go back with me?"
"Okay!" the sisters became excited.
My mother said angrily: "Okay, okay, you two will start school in a few days, and you have to play every day!"
"The dishwashing liquid in the kitchen at home seems to be running out. When I used it yesterday, I found that there wasn't much left. Please remember to buy it by the way."
But when he went to the park again the next day, he didn't see the sister again. He didn't see her again for several weeks.
"You still haven't got the bag of rice."
In front of a supermarket near the community, Lin Lu asked his mother to stop the car.
"Don't be shy. Mom didn't ask for a penny from him, but he is your dad. You should ask him for money! Just save the money he gives you. It will be convenient for you to do anything in the future. Otherwise
That woman took it all away, do you know?"
"OK."
Li Xingruo smiled and said: "I got off work at 5:30 today, and then I took advantage of my free time to buy all the things I didn't buy before. I ran several times. What about you, did you just study in the evening?
"
"Brother will understand when he reaches our age."
She had almost finished shopping, and then took a bottle of dish soap from the shelf. Lin Lu didn't buy much, so he bought two pieces of toothpaste, and then took a bottle of the same dish soap as hers, and then went to check out together.
"Okay... Hey, where are you going, Sister Xingruo?"
"Go to bed early after finishing the papers, don't stay up late all the time!"
The cashier gave Li Xingruo a huge bag to put things in. When the little girl was carrying the full things, her young shoulders seemed to be pulled down a little.
Listening to my mother nagging all the way, the car also drove to the community.
"Bye bye brother!"
Lin Lu has always held such a small expectation.
"Lin Lu, you must play basketball often. You look so strong."
After checking that it was still early, Lin Lu said: "Let's go, aren't there some unfinished fairy sticks for the Chinese New Year? I'll take you down to play."
"Ah? Don't you ask dad for money?"
"Don't you guys play in kindergarten every day? Why are you still unwilling?" Lin Lu rubbed the heads of his sisters.
Lin Lu knew very well that it was not easy for two people to get together, which also made him treat relationships more cautiously and cherishing. Otherwise, given his conditions, he would have had girlfriends change one after another.
"Hey, Sister Xingruo?"
Although Lin Lu has long since let go of his parents' divorce, it has indeed brought some changes to him. He is more mature than his peers, and his views on marriage and love are not as casual as those of ordinary high school students.
Lin Lu got out of the car, closed the door, and waved his hand. If he didn't get out of the car, his mother might nag him in the car until he was deducted for illegal parking.
"Great!"
At a small intersection, Lin Lu stopped Li Xingruo, who was about to turn right.
"No, I just came back from outside. How does Sister Xingruo feel about going to work today?"
"I played a lot before, including badminton and so on, but I haven't played much this time."
"No, it doesn't look very heavy..."
Li Xingruo looked full of energy, as if the success of her first day of work had given her a lot of confidence, and there was no tiredness in her eyes that was common among social animals.
"Ah, I almost forgot!"
"You didn't just get off work, did you?"
"When you get your driver's license, you can ask your dad for money and ask him to buy you a car."
"Mom, please go back and give Momo Yanyan a bath first. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some toothpaste."
The moment he saw Li Xingruo, Lin Lu was a little surprised. He didn't deliberately meet him, but from yesterday to now, the two of them had bumped into each other several times.
"Yeah, don't relax at critical moments. When you finish the college entrance examination, we can play badminton together when you have time. I'm pretty good!"
"Okay, let's go back."
As the car lights faded away, Lin Lu turned around and walked into the supermarket.
"Do you need help?"
His mother drove him back, and the mother and son chatted while the city outside the car window was filled with lights.
"good."
At the corner of the shelf, a girl carrying a shopping basket appeared in front of him.
"..."
As soon as they heard that school was about to start, Xia Mo and Xia Yan turned into bitter faces, let out a weak cry, and lay down again like a puddle of cats.
When Li Xing wanted to reach for the ten kilogram bag of rice, Lin Lu had already lifted it up for her, and the siblings walked back together.
Lin Lu was angry and funny, but he spoke like an adult. This reminded him of his neighbor's sister next door. Although she didn't look that big, she always liked to express some kind of exclamation like an experienced person in front of him.
Speaking of which, I am quite grateful to that sister. She gave him a candy when he was most sad and stayed with him to bask in the sun for an afternoon. Although it was a small gesture, it gave him so much at that time.
A lot of energy.
"..."
"If you want to eat glutinous rice balls, go to the supermarket and buy some. Do you have any fruit at home?"
He didn't usually have the habit of wandering around when shopping. He went straight along the shelves in the direction of toothpaste and dish soap.
"It's already nine o'clock. How can you get off work that late?"
After playing for half an hour, the sisters were satisfied. Lin Lu took them home to wash their hands. The little Loli's hands were just a little bigger. They stepped on the small stool and obediently stretched out their hands under the faucet, waiting for her brother to help rub them.
"I know, Mom, you can go back."
Li Xingruo, who was lowering his head to select goods, also raised his head when he heard the sound, and the corners of his mouth naturally curved, then the sweet little pear dimple appeared, and her crisp voice sounded.
It's hard to explain things like fate clearly. People without fate will eventually separate no matter how long they get along. People with fate may be surprised to meet each other many years later.
…
"Forget it if you sign up for classes. I would like to find a tutor to give you targeted tutoring."
"Your Uncle Wen said that a colleague knows a good sprint class that specializes in tutoring cultural courses for art candidates. Xiaolu, would you like to consider it?"
"After you finish the college entrance examination, take the driver's license test while you have time. Mom will pay the registration fee for you then."
"Know it."
"That's okay, then Mom will ask someone to help you ask."
"It's not bad. Because it's a training, there's nothing to do. Just listen, read the information, and take notes just like in class."
The sisters, who had just turned soft into a puddle of mud, were like inflated balloons in an instant. They jumped up and down to find the package of fairy sticks, and dragged Lin Lu downstairs to play.
"What a coincidence, Lin Lu!"
Oh, no, Sister Xingruo is actually quite big.
Lin Lu can get along so well with his sisters, which is something that my mother is happy to see. Although Lin Lu’s father is very bad, she really treasures this son, otherwise she would not have been so determined to ask for a divorce.
Lin Lu followed her.
The little girl finally came back to her senses, calmly retracted her steps, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "I was so busy talking that I almost took the wrong path."
"...Sister Xingruo, nothing went wrong when she went to work, right?"
"No, how is that possible!"
Li Xingruo flipped her hair around her ears, looking a bit stern.
