Chapter 5 No Promise

 Aunt Li Mu lives in Building D20, and the person she introduced to Li Mu lives in Building D24

The two families were walking in front of each other, with a few minutes' distance between them. When they arrived at the woman's house, the person who opened the door was not Li Mu's blind date today, but a middle-aged man. He was similar in age to Li Mu's father, Li Jianguo, but he was more energetic than in previous years.

Li Mu's father, who had been in a car accident and stayed in the intensive care unit for more than a month before being transferred to a general ward for recuperation, is doing much better.

Invite Li Mu and his aunt to come in.

Then he turned around and shouted to the room, "Zhong Ning, we have a guest."

"Got it"

A woman responded from the room.

Before the woman came out of the room, two half-grown boys who were laughing and playing ran out of the room first.

One is about ten years old.

The other one is not young either, at least seven or eight years old.

When he saw these two little boys, Li Mu's face froze, and he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"There are children at home, and no matter how much I clean them up, they still look messy"

The middle-aged man reached out and put the toys on the sofa on the coffee table and said with a smile.

"It's all the same"

An aunt who has a granddaughter and grandson felt the same way and said, "Your house is better, but my house is really messy. There is no place to stay in the living room."

"Your name is Li Mu, right?"

I heard my wife Liu Ying start asking sister Xu Lan about her son.

The middle-aged man also stopped chatting with Xu Lan and turned to look at Li Mu.

"Yes, Auntie"

Li Mu replied politely.

"This is a good name"

Liu Ying praised her very casually and carelessly, but when asked the next question, her chat inevitably became more scrutinizing, saying, "I heard from your aunt that you are an advertising designer, and the salary in this industry should be quite high."

Right?"

"Not bad"

Li Mu replied modestly.

"Twenty thousand, right?"

Liu Ying continued to ask questions related to her daughter's quality of life in a casual manner.

"Almost"

Li Mu nodded helplessly.

"Quite a few"

Liu Ying made a satisfactory summary of Li Mu’s salary.

At this time, the door of the room opened, and a woman wearing a pure white down jacket came out holding a tablet computer. When she saw Li Mu, she smiled casually, as if to say hello.

The movements are neither coquettish nor pretentious.

She is not very beautiful in appearance, but she is more delicate and dignified.

Pair a pure white down jacket with a pair of jeans, and a pair of red warm cotton shoes that are very distinctive in winter, and it looks simple and simple.

Li Mu was slightly surprised.

Could this be today’s blind date!?

Why doesn't she look like a woman in her thirties at all? Instead, she looks like a college student.

"Sister, come out quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time"

As expected.

The girl who was watching a TV series on a tablet turned around and shouted into the room. Li Mu immediately understood that his aunt's brain circuitry, as if she had drunk twenty boxes of six expired walnuts, was still very strange.

This woman is not your date today.

The sister in the room who came late and likes to act big is today’s heroine.

When the two little boys saw the tablet in the woman's hand, they quickly ran over to fight for it. The woman reached out and slapped each of them.

"Grandma, my aunt is beating someone"

The older boy threw himself into Liu Ying's arms, pointed at the woman and started to complain.

As soon as I heard this.

Li Mu's doubts disappeared.

As expected, his aunt is still so unconventional.

The first two people I introduced to him this year were a midnight worker who pole danced at a midnight bar.

Another one who works in a pet store and has a small amount of hair is comparable to a master programmer with 20 years of experience.

But compared to the first two who were unmarried.

The blind date partner this time is amazing. She is married and has two children, all of whom are boys.

His aunt saw how lonely his life was, so she chose to use this method to make him happy!?

Picking up the water glass on the coffee table, Li Mu took a few sips, and then listened with a smile on his face as his aunt and the blind date's parents chatted about trivial family matters. After a while, today's blind date finally came out.

The direction she came out was exactly opposite the sofa where Li Mu was sitting.

When he came out, Li Mu saw it at a glance.

The woman's face is very white.

It’s so white that it’s shocking.

The skin on my neck is a bit dark, and the contrast between the two makes it look even darker.

The foundation is applied too thickly.

Can't tell the real appearance.

Li Mu picked up the tea cup and continued to drink his boiled water.

"Hello"

When the woman saw Li Mu sitting on the sofa, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Li Mu is not ugly, he is even a little handsome.

In particular, his reserved temperament, coupled with his specially grown beard, makes him look particularly mature and steady.

Just sitting there gives me a feeling of gentleness and elegance.

With just one glance, a woman has a good sense for Li Mu.

"Li Mu, this is Zhong Ning"

Aunt Li Mu introduced her enthusiastically and said, "If you two become successful, you won't even need to buy hardware in the future. You will be able to open a hardware store at home."

"..."

Li Mu was dumbfounded by his aunt's twists and turns and unpredictable brain circuits.

Is it a matter of a few screwdrivers, or a few bull sockets?

Raising two boys, opening three or five hardware stores, let alone one, will not make any difference.

Everyone in the living room was amused by the aunt's words.

Li Mu, who couldn't find the point of laughter, could only laugh along.

The adult world is so helpless sometimes. We know clearly that doing something is a waste of time, but we still do it anyway.

The result is not important.

The important thing is the process of "coming".

"You smile so reluctantly"

Sister Zhong Ning saw Li Mu's awkward smile and couldn't help but joked, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. You're not an outsider. Maybe I'll have to call you brother-in-law in a while."

Li Mu was even more embarrassed.

But he looked at this girl one more time.

She has out-of-the-box thinking and is eclectic in words and deeds. Compared to her sister, she is easier to like.

"Zhong Ning, I'm a straight-laced person, so if I have anything to say, I'll just say it."

Aunt Li Mu saw that the heat was almost done and said with a smile, "If you think you have a compatibility with my Li Mu, you can exchange numbers so that we can keep in touch in the future."

So.

Li Mu exchanged numbers with Zhong Ning under his aunt's half-joking and half-truthful teasing.

Blind date is not complicated.

The process and steps are very simple.

Now that we have the number, the two of us can just contact each other.

After saying goodbye, Li Mu and his aunt left Ma's house.

"Sister, this one looks really good"

The two sisters were lying on the balcony, talking about Li Mu.

"Did you see that?"

Zhong Ning pointed to Li Mu downstairs, who was walking with his aunt in the cold winter wind, and said, "What's the use of being handsome? He doesn't even have a car. It's so cold to sit behind a battery car to go on a date. It's better to lie down in bed."

I was watching TV under the covers. People in their early thirties who have mixed up to this extent are destined to have no future in this life. Instead of marrying this kind of single father who has no future and has a son, I still think about how to combine my two sons.

Raised"

"You are so realistic"

Zhong Ning’s sister Zhong Yan said with disdain.

"Am I realistic?"

Zhong Ning smiled contemptuously and said, "Then you can marry him. If you can't be my husband, you can be my brother-in-law."

"Looking for a fight"

The two sisters immediately got into a fight.
