Neighbors are cute today too

Chapter 73
Every other day, weekend.

Thanks to the monthly leave, I finally don't have to go to school today. Although there is only a pitiful day, Lin Lu also made it a full schedule for this day.

It's so hard to change, the rest time is only a little bit, Lin Lu really can't wait to pick out every minute and arrange it.

He first rewarded himself for sleeping an hour longer than usual, and at seven o'clock, he was woken up by his sisters on time.

First he helped the two stupid younger sisters brush their teeth and face, and then he brushed his teeth and face himself. Before his mother and Uncle Wen woke up, Lin Lu took the younger sisters downstairs to eat the breakfast they wanted.

After breakfast, I took them to the nearby children's park to play lively for two hours. Taking advantage of this time, I secretly bought an ice cream for my sisters.

Looking at the time, it was already ten o'clock, so Lin Lu called back the younger sisters who were running around with the kite strings.

"Let's go! Go back and have a rest!"

"Brother, we are not tired!"

"No, you are already very tired!"

"what……"

God knows where these little brats get so much energy in their bodies, they never stop playing!
Lin Lu carried the younger sisters back, scrubbed their dirty little hands, packed up his things, and prepared to go back.

"Mom, Uncle Wen, I'm going back first."

"It's already 10:30, Xiaolu, why don't you go back after lunch?"

"No, Uncle Wen. Now is the critical time. I can't rest for a day. I have an appointment with the teacher for dinner. I have to study after dinner. Let's go back now." Lin Lu said.

"You better be!" Zou Wanrou said.

"We also want to go back to study with our brother!" said the sisters.

"You two just care about playing." Xia Wen said.

But Lin Lu is an older child after all, and his family has little control over his thoughts. Since he is busy going back to study, it is a good thing, so his mother packed some things for him to take back, and Uncle Wen also gave him a can The old tangerine peel told him to give it to the teacher, drink some tangerine peel tea during tutoring, it is good for the voice, the two younger sisters went back to the room and grabbed a handful of origami stars, and asked him to help give it to the ice cream sister.

"Let's go~"

"Remember to send a message when you get home!"

"understood."

"Review carefully! Don't fail my exam next time!"

"Don't worry."

Amidst his mother's nagging, Lin Lu carried the cat in his schoolbag and went back with a full load of things.

As time goes by, his body grows, and his vision becomes wider. Maybe he will have a small family of his own in the future, but his mother and younger sister will always occupy a special place in his heart at any time. This is the meaning of going home, it is the origin of his life, it is his unique identity of 'brother' and 'son'.

After leaving the community, he changed from "Wanrou's son" to "Momo Yanyan's elder brother" to "a high school senior who is preparing for the college entrance examination". When he knocked on Li Xingruo's door, his identity changed. Became a 'little brother'.

"Good afternoon, Sister Ice Cream."

"...Your shouting is not as sweet as your sister's. Did you teach them to say these weird things?"

"Heaven and earth conscience, I didn't teach them."

"Humph."

Although it is a holiday today, Lin Lu is still wearing a school uniform. It seems that he is recuperating well at home. Compared with usual, his spirit seems to be better. The whole person looks very energetic and sunny. It may also be because of today's weather Yes, he walked all the way back, and the sunlight outside was attached to him.

Emotions can be contagious. Under his influence, Li Xingruo, who had already enjoyed a day off on Saturday, felt the breath of holiday on Sunday.

Lin Lu walked into her house with big and small bags, found an empty seat on the floor to put the things down first, and unzipped the schoolbag a little, the little fat cat got out, stretched on the floor, and Brin bling jumped to the side of the TV cabinet to watch the little goldfish.

"What did you bring back, why are there so many..."

Li Xingruo looked at his big and small bags and was also a little curious. The key is that you came back with the things and didn't let them go to your own house. Why did you bring them to me!

"It's all food."

"Then, take it back to your house."

"It's all vegetables, meat, fruits, etc. I don't know how to cook, so why not put them all at Sister Xingruo's house. With these meats and vegetables, we don't need to buy vegetables for at least three days!"

"...What's the matter, Auntie brought it back for you to eat." Li Xingruo waved his hands quickly.

"Sister Xingruo thinks that I don't know how to cook, and my mother brought me so much meat and vegetables, and they are all fresh, who is it for?" Lin Lu laughed.

Li Xingruo: "..."

Too bad, this teacher of hers seems to be addicted to receiving gifts. She usually accepts some fruit and milk, but she even accepts meat, vegetables and other ingredients!You won't be able to afford it by then, will you? !
Fortunately, they are not expensive things, but they are short-handed and soft-mouthed. In order to thank the aunt for her enthusiasm, I had to treat her son better, try to make these dishes more delicious, and feed Lin Lu to his full. okay……

"And this, Uncle Wen gave it to you, the old tangerine peel. It's good for your throat to drink with water. Sister Xingruo is so tired of giving me lectures. Drink more tangerine peel water to moisturize."

"Let's drink together, let's drink together."

"That's fine, I'll let you here anyway, and we'll drink together then."

Li Xingruo also squatted down and helped Lin Lu tidy up the meat, vegetables and fruits, and stuffed them into the refrigerator.

The refrigerator in the rented room was not big, and it was filled to the brim by him in no time. Fortunately, these meals were all eaten with Lin Lu, so the little girl was relieved to accept these things.

"Hey, there's another one, Momo and Yanyan gave it to Sister Ice Cream."

Lin Lu took out a pocket of his school uniform and grabbed a handful of colorful origami stars.

Compared with those eating, this handful of colorful origami stars makes Li Xingruo more happy.

"It's really good, it's really good!"

She opened her palm and took the star, a small one, folded very cutely, there are twelve in total, that is a bunch of cute.

Unexpectedly, at the age of 22, he would still be hit by these gadgets. Li Xingruo held the stars and played with them for a while, then happily carried them back to the room, and found a small box to put the twelve origami stars away.

……

Seeing that Lin Lu had arrived home, Li Xingruo started cooking. The rice cooker on the kitchen counter had already switched to the heat preservation option, and she had already cooked the rice early.

Wearing an apron, rolling up her sleeves, and cooking with her hair tied up, she is never tired of seeing her.

"How is it? Did Auntie say anything when she found out about your perfect grades?" Li Xingruo turned around and asked him.

"Yes, my mother praised you, saying that Sister Xingruo is not only beautiful, but also cooks, gentle and kind, caring and compassionate, serious and responsible, patient and careful, let me learn more from you .”

"……real?"

"Of course, otherwise my mother asked me to bring so many things back."

Seeing the approval of the parents, Teacher Li couldn't help being happy.

"Did Sister Xingruo cook my meal? I came here specially to have lunch with you."

"No, I thought you were eating at home, so I didn't cook your meal."

"It's okay to deceive Momo and Yanyan with your lies, but you have no chance to deceive me."

Looking at the meat and vegetables on the kitchen counter that had already been cut and put on plates, Lin Lu couldn't believe that she would be willing to starve her students.

Lin Lu had nothing to do when he was free, like when she was cooking, he would come to the kitchen to chat with her like this, so he was also a member of the cooking.

He stretched out his hand, twisted a piece of lettuce sliced ​​on the chopping board and brought it to his mouth. Raw lettuce tasted very sweet and crispy.

"Oh, before I cut the lettuce, I cut the raw meat with the knife, you have diarrhea!"

Li Xingruo raised his hand to slap him, but Lin Lu withdrew his hand with a smile.

"Momo and Yanyan are much cuter than you~!"

"If sister Xingruo likes it, you can give birth to one yourself. I think you are very suitable to be a mother."

"It's not that easy to have a baby. You have to work hard to save money and find a partner."

Li Xingruo very much rejects the idea of ​​raising children to look after their old age, turning something beautiful in itself into an investment behavior, especially in modern society, where everyone’s ideas are more open, and even if the conditions are not good, they would rather not have children. Most of the parents who still have children with the idea of ​​raising children to guard against old age are very selfish.

In the past, if Li Xing didn't like children very much, she thought they were naughty and noisy. Later, as she grew older, she also found that some cute and well-behaved children are really likable, such as Momo Yanyan, who always Seeing such a child, she couldn't help but feel the overflowing maternal love.

While cooking, she tilted her head and imagined: "For me, the meaning of having a child should be to have a continuation of life with the person I love. I want to see if she is more like me, or like her father." A little more, just thinking that this is a continuation of my life with the people I love the most makes me feel awesome!"

"It's great, but sister Xingruo has never even talked about love."

"...Even a nun who has become a monk has a heart of mortals, okay?"

"That's right. After all, Sister Xingruo is already a big girl. It's normal to think about these things."

"Go away~"

It's strange to say that when talking about marriage and love with the elders, she is always very repulsive, but when talking about these things with Lin Lu, she feels that she has something to say, probably because she is the adult in front of him. .

"You can fall in love when you go to college. Remember to find a partner then, otherwise your aunt will definitely rush you as soon as you graduate."

"It seems that sister Xingruo is very experienced. Has your family started urging you to find a partner?"

"There are already signs of this!"

Li Xingruo complained to him about his little troubles, and said: "But this is normal, so I will remind you, I will definitely not go on a blind date, anyway, I haven't met anyone I like, so why not engage in career, hobbies, and more?" Reading a book."

I thought that Lin Lu would be like the elders, and would refute her after hearing her words, but she was ready to refute her back, as a practice of pulling with the elders, but she did not expect Lin Lu to nod repeatedly, with a face of agreement her look.

"That's right! Sister Xingruo and I think the same! What's the point of falling in love, it's better to be alone!"

Sure enough, human beings are a strange species, just like looking for sex on the outside and plots on the inside.

Seeing Lin Lu's resolute denial of love, Li Xingruo also quickly persuaded: "It doesn't need to be so absolute, if you meet someone you like, then, then you can still talk about it."

"No, I won't talk, I want to be single with Sister Xingruo."

"..."

If Li Xing can't find a point to refute, should she, as a teacher and sister, tell him the beauty of love?

The point is, she hasn't experienced it either!
She has never even held a boy's hand, so naturally she can't describe any romance. Although she claims to be a master of love, it is only a theory, and her practical experience may not be as good as that of a primary school student.

However, it seems nice to have a younger brother who is single with his older sister...

In case the siblings are really unsalable, if it really doesn't work——

Li Xingruo sneaked a glance at Lin Lu who was eating lettuce, looked at his hands, looked at his lips...

"what happened?"

"...You still eat lettuce secretly! Waiting is not enough for cooking!"
