"The dark circles under your eyes are a bit heavy"
Li Mu poured the tea that had been brewed several times into the trash can, dug out a dozen pieces of new tea with a porcelain spoon and put it into the water cup.
"I know"
Xu Jianhua rubbed his slightly sore eyes and said helplessly, "I didn't feel tired even after going to the bar at night until two or three in the morning. But after running back and forth these days, I feel very tired. If I continue like this, I probably won't live until the end of the year."
You will have to die suddenly"
Speaking.
Xu Jianhua let out a long sigh.
"You brought it upon yourself"
Li Mu commented.
"I understand what you mean, but it really doesn't work"
Xu Jianhua smiled bitterly and said, "I have no experience in taking care of children, and a person with my personality is not suitable for teaching children."
"Aren't you taking good care of yourself these days!?"
Li Mu asked with a smile.
"I'm not taking care of you. Instead, my sister Jiang Ziyun takes care of me."
Speaking of little girls.
Xu Jianhua gave a series of compliments without hesitation, saying, "Don't mention it, the two girls who saved my life are really sensible, especially my sister. When I went there in the morning, I had already helped my sister get dressed and comb her hair, and I also arranged the house at home.
Cleaned up neatly. To be honest, I have never seen a nine-year-old girl who is so capable."
"Since..."
Li Mugang was about to speak.
"I told you no"
Xu Jianhua directly interrupted Li Mu and said, "What should I do if my teachings are broken? Can I bear this responsibility?"
"Haha"
Li Mu couldn't help but laugh twice.
"What are you laughing at!?"
Xu Jianhua said angrily, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth"
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile, "First of all, education is a matter of school. As long as you don't take the bar girl back, it won't have any negative impact on the child's mind. Secondly, I saved your life, but you can't count on your only aunt.
If you don’t support whoever will support you, this is a responsibility you can’t escape”
"This is not..."
"Listen to what I have to say"
Li Mu raised his hand to signal Xu Jianhua to shut up, and then said, "With your financial ability, it is no problem to raise two children."
"I have no money"
Xu Jianhua couldn't help but retort.
"You can save enough money by going to bars and nightclubs twice a month. Another thing is that Changzheng Road Primary School is two kilometers away from your home. Others can't get into such a good school district. If you don't use it, it is simply a waste of educational resources.
, you think it’s troublesome to pick up and drop off your children, so give the nanny an extra two thousand a month to pick up and drop off your children. This little money is not enough for you to tip the waiter at the bar."
Li Mu thought for a moment and then said, "Xu Jianhua, as a friend, I advise you to seriously consider what I said. You envy the liveliness of my family. Now there is an opportunity in front of you. If you miss it, you will really have no chance in the future. I remember you went to
When I was a guest at my home the first time, I said, "Not everything has to be prepared before it happens. You can only make adjustments and changes after it happens."
"..."
Xu Jianhua stared blankly at Li Mu.
He opened his mouth several times in succession, but in the end he still did not speak.
After all.
Li Mu gave solutions to the problems he needed to face one by one.
Just like Li Mu said.
Money.
He is not lacking.
It’s not that there is no shortage, just a few days. Once the salary is paid, he will have money immediately.
So raising two children is no pressure for him.
School.
There is indeed a primary school to the east of the villa where he lives. As for how good it is, Xu Jianhua has no children and has never cared about it.
For a while.
Xu Jianhua is also a bit wavering.
He has been infertile for so many years and has long been accustomed to a life without children. Now he suddenly has to take the two sisters back to raise them. Xu Jianhua can't even imagine what his life will be like!?
He never thought about it.
Not prepared either.
Leaning on the table with a water glass, Xu Jianhua lit a cigarette and thought carefully.
"Think about it! Today's children are very smart and know how to be grateful. If you raise them, you will be able to avoid going to a nursing home and fighting with other old men and women over a banana in the future. Don't think so.
With your pension, you can sit back and relax. Once you lie down, money cannot take you to the hospital or help you run around. Someone has to help you solve everything."
The reason why Li Muneng talked so much with Xu Jianhua is because although Xu Jianhua is scumbag, he is not bad.
He has a bottom line in doing things, just like when he first found out that Qin Muxue was Li Mu's ex-wife, he immediately kept his distance and gave up any thoughts he shouldn't have.
When you go to his home as a guest, you should maintain due courtesy, unlike some scumbags who have no bottom line.
"Got it"
Xu Jianhua did not refute Li Mu's words.
After all, this is a fact. When you are young, you can use money to solve many things. But when you get older, money will not only not solve many things, but will also add countless worries, especially to a childless person like him.
Will he be picked up or not?
This question kept lingering in Xu Jianhua's mind.
It wasn't until the cigarette butt burned his fingers that Xu Jianhua reacted. He looked at Li Mu, who was still staring at him, and said, "Don't look at it. It's not something I can do without my consent. I need the two girls to nod."
Speaking.
Xu Jianhua couldn't help but ask more: "Li Mu, can I take good care of the child!?"
"No one is born to be a parent"
Li Mu replied with a smile, "It's all about teaching and learning at the same time. As for the final result, on the one hand, it's about education, and on the other hand, it's about the children themselves. I've been a father for so many years, and I only know how to do what a father should do, and provide
Provide a good economic foundation for children, create a harmonious family atmosphere for them, and provide excellent educational resources. If you still can't train your children well, then there is nothing you can do and you have to accept your fate!"
Evening.
Xu Jianhua took the two sisters back from school.
He did not leave directly, but sat in the car and repeatedly thought about the issues discussed with Li Mu in the tea room that morning.
Originally.
He has already made his decision.
But when the matter came to a head, Xu Jianhua hesitated again.
There is no other reason, it's just that he doesn't have confidence in himself.
After living for more than 40 years, he has done so many ridiculous things that he can't even count them. Now that he is suddenly asked to raise two children, Xu Jianhua himself feels extremely ridiculous.
Smoke.
I smoked one after another.
"Uncle, will you come tomorrow?"
At this time.
Elder sister Jiang Ziyun led her sister out of the door, stood outside the car window, and asked in a low voice.
Xu Jianhua's consciousness seemed to be brought back to reality from nothingness.
He stared blankly at the timid sisters, and a certain will in his heart suddenly became firm. He no longer hesitated and opened the car door directly.
"Ziyun, Ziyun, uncle has something to discuss with you."
Xu Jianhua threw away the cigarette butt, squatted down and asked softly, "Uncle wants to raise you, are you willing?"
Ask this question.
Xu Jianhua actually became uneasy, his old face full of nervousness.
Maybe.
He is also looking forward to it.
I just don’t want to admit it.
Xu Jianhua heard the sound of his heart beating rapidly and felt the tightness in his body caused by being too nervous. He paid attention to the reactions of the two sisters without blinking. When he found that the two sisters in front of him just looked up at him,
There was no response, and his eyes instantly darkened.
Even in my heart, I felt a sense of disappointment that my expectations had been dashed.
