Cartoonist's Dream

Chapter 18: Crooked Toes

"How many points did your Weiwei get in Chinese this time?"

"92 points."

After learning that Limu had scored double percentiles in the final exam and calling in the afternoon to confirm that Limu could jump into fifth grade, Li Jiahui's family decided to go to Hualian in the evening.

Since Hualian opened on Minzu Avenue in Nanhua City, Li Jiahui's family probably celebrated by shopping at Hualian.It is no exaggeration to say that Beijing Hualian, which was only founded in 96, caused an uproar after it entered Nanhua City in 98, like a drum beating in the middle of the night.Every time I go there, there are huge crowds of people, and the things on the shelves make people feel that the eyes are full... Every family goes home with a few big bags of goods.

The unified supply and marketing method makes the goods in the "supermarket" cheaper than those anywhere in the city.At that time, many personal store owners went to Hualian Supermarket to buy goods, even if they made a second price difference, they still felt that they were still making money.Of course, it is impossible for Li Jiahui's family to go straight to Hualian. There is a saying that "walk a hundred steps after a meal and live to 99", not to mention the good news that his son has scored double hundred points. [

When Li Xiuli saw her son's classmate's parents today, she couldn't wait to get up and talk with her. She tried repeatedly when she was shopping for vegetables in the afternoon.No, I just went downstairs after dinner, and happened to see Lu Wei's mother, Li Zhishu, chatting on the embankment—and immediately rushed to catch her.

First, she asked how many points Wei Wei had scored, and pretended to be surprised when she learned that it was 92 points.

"Weiwei can take Chinese every time!" Li Xiuli praised.

"How many points did your Limu score?" Lu Wei's mother reciprocated courteously.

This is what Li Xiuli was waiting for!

"This time, I happened to get a perfect score—" Li Mu's mother said modestly, but she was already happy in her heart.

"100 points!?" Lu Wei's mother was surprised.

"Your Weiwei and my Limu are sitting together, didn't she tell me?"

"Huh, how dare she say that, she only got 67 points in math. Your Limu has always been good at math, how many points did you get this time?"

Li Xiuli was waiting for Lu Wei's mother's words!

"Oh, I happened to take 100—" She "coincidentally" once again, and then complained: "This child, sitting with Weiwei won't help me at all."

"I helped, I definitely helped." Li Yushu said with certainty, and then snorted twice: "Hmph, Weiwei's math has dropped from 90 points in the first grade to the passing line, if it wasn't for Limu's help this time , I don’t think Weiwei can even get 60 points.”

"Where is that, Weiwei has always been very smart." Limu's mother said complimentingly, seeing that it was time to show off, and her husband was waiting ten meters away with arms crossed, she said goodbye: "I won't bother you, we have to go shop."

"In the summer vacation, Li Mu often comes to my house to play, and teach Weiwei math by the way." Li Shushu invited her.

"Did you hear that? Li Mu." Li Xiuli bowed her head and said to her son.

"Dizzy~ Needn't I say that? During the holidays, either she would come to play with me or I would come to play with her." Li Mu said immediately.

"Stinky boy, are you still proud?" Limu's mother smiled beyond her words.

Seeing Lu Wei's mother laughing at her own mother, Li Mu felt shuddering.Finally, he had the courage to interrupt them and shouted to Lu Wei's mother:

"Mom—no..." [

As soon as Li Mu made a sound, he realized that he was habitually calling Lu Wei's mother wrong!This is due to habit, after marrying Lu Hui before, she would always call her "Mom" when she opened and closed her mouth, and she couldn't change it for a while.

--aunt?

He thought about it, what should he call it?In this day and age, the petty citizens of Nanhua still don't like the word aunt.

"Aunt Liang, Sister Lu Hui." Li Mu almost called Lu Wei's elder sister wrong again, and forcibly added "Sister" to his wife. After becoming Sister Lu Hui, he asked, "Has she returned yet?"

"I'm back."

"That's good"

"Huh?" Li Shu asked a short question.

Thinking of seeing his wife whom he hadn't seen for a month today or tomorrow, and who is also Fangling's wife, Li Mu felt eager and carried away.

"Wen Jun has a daughter, she is eighteen years old, and I would like to marry her." Although I really wanted to say that in person, it was impossible to say it.

"Uh, um." Li Mu quickly found an excuse and explained: "I mean, when Sister Lu Hui is back, I can learn English from her. Isn't Sister Lu Hui's English very good?"

Once born and secondly acquainted, he can pronounce Sister Lu Hui's "sister" more and more smoothly, after all, he has always called her like this before getting married.

"Yeah, I should let her preview for Lu Wei." Lu Wei's mother thought that Li Mu was really smart because she could think about the third grade in advance and plan ahead for herself.

"Limu!" ​​Liang Jiahui shouted impatiently not far away.

He would not urge Li Mu's mother, in order to save face for his wife, such things are always borne by the children.

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Mu took her mother's hand and said while stepping back, "Aunt Liang, my father is waiting impatiently. My mother and I are leaving first."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards his father with his mother.

"This child can really talk." Lu Wei's mother was called "Mom" kindly, and the more she looked at Li Mu, the more pleasing she felt, as if she was really her son-in-law.

They don't know that although the son-in-law is a son-in-law and has lived with him for several years, he is married to the wrong person.Who would have thought that Li Mu would finally get Lu Hui, who was ten years older than him?

Isn't it the fulfillment of the saying that the world is unpredictable.

It was the day of early summer.

Lu Hui, who is a boarding high school student in No.20 No. [-] Middle School, also returned home at noon today.I slept soundly for a long sleep, and after dinner, I went up to the top of the building to enjoy the flowers and cool off... I stayed for about an hour.Coming down from the top of the building, passing by the entrance of my sister's small room, I saw my sister looking at a picture book with her chin propped up.

But when she came down from the stairs and turned around the door to enter, she found that her sister was not watching at all, but was in a daze, not even noticing that someone had entered her room and came behind her. [

"Is this a painting?" Sister Lu Wei asked uncertainly.

I saw a black and white picture printed on the small, dark yellow picture book on my sister's desk.The corners of the picture have some friction due to poor preservation, and some places are already black, but it does not hinder the well-preserved part in the middle. Isn't the picture there just the playful side face of my sister!

"Ah" Lu Wei suddenly heard a sound, without looking back, she just closed the picture book, threw it into the drawer and closed it.

"Your self-portrait?" Lu Hui asked.

"Well, ah! Yes!" Lu Wei turned around and said, blocking the drawer with her body.

"I don't think so." Lu Hui smiled and shook her head, teasingly guessing: "Which classmate drew it for you?"

She knows the little girl's drawing skills very well. If you draw an elephant, you can draw a mouse, and if you draw a mouse, you can draw an elephant.It would be hell if she really drew it herself!Since she didn't draw it herself, but also used this kind of picture book for elementary school students, the biggest "suspect" must be her classmates.

"Hmm... um..." Lu Wei shook her head in denial.

She may often be awkward in front of Li Mu, but she can't be fierce in front of her sister.Compared to Li Shu, Lu Hui gets along with her more closely, and is like a mother.But Li Shu was too strict with Lu Wei, and in Lu Wei's eyes she became a father instead.As for Lu Wei's father

It's probably just a matter of nothing, and he will only laugh at her uncle when she is angry.

"Let me guess~I'll guess~" Although I haven't seen Limu paint a few times, I still have an impression of his painting ability. right?"

"Well……

"He secretly painted Weiwei, and Weiwei secretly hid it again, didn't he?"

"Sister~"

"Haha, don't say it, don't say it, but why didn't you come back with Li Mu today?"

"Skip level..."

"??"

"Li Mu is going to skip a grade...Wow..." Lu Wei burst into tears and burst into tears.

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry, Weiwei tell my sister what's going on." Lu Hui knelt down in front of the low stool, took Lu Wei down, and asked in her arms.

However, Lu Wei kept crying, crying constantly, and after crying, there was a silence again, unable to explain why.

(Limu Limu wants to skip a grade, Limu doesn't want me...) For some reason, Lu Hui can vaguely hear Lu Wei's inner voice.Secretly, young girls are really young, but you can't stop them if they want to skip a grade, so you have to enlighten Lu Wei about Limu's skipping a grade.

Although Lu Hui and Lu Wei are sisters of the same father and mother, there is a big difference in personality.

Sister Lu Wei likes to keep the real reason in her heart, and then express it in the form of emotions, which is as fickle as autumn weather in the eyes of others.

Elder sister Lu Hui appears a bit lively in the eyes of others, but in fact she is reasonable, quiet and careful, but once she makes a mistake, it is a big mistake.

For example, the matter of having to marry Li Mu, who is ten years younger than me...
