The next morning, Li Mu pulled his arm out from under Lin Wan.
He rubbed his slightly sore arm, looked at Lin Wan who was still sleeping, and bent down to kiss the woman's forehead.
He got up from the bed and prepared to take Ruoruo back from Aunt Wang.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wan woke up just as Li Mu got up.
Li Mu asked softly, "Are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Lin Wan blushed when she thought about what happened between them last night.
He said in a hoarse voice: "No...it's okay...what are you going to do?"
Li Mu smiled lovingly and touched Lin Wan's face, saying, "I'll go pick up Ruoruo from next door, and then make you breakfast."
Lin Wan was a little reluctant to let Li Mu get up, so she could only say sullenly, "Well...you go ahead."
Hearing that Lin Wan was somewhat reluctant, Li Mu lay back on the bed and held Lin Wan tightly in his arms.
...
...
The two of them stayed together for an unknown period of time until Zhou Qiang's voice was heard outside the door.
Only then did I get up reluctantly.
Li Mu put on his clothes, walked out the door, and saw Zhou Qiang coming over with a bunch of things in his hands.
He asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Why are you carrying so many things?"
Zhou Qiang walked in from the door with a smile on his face. He immediately saw the red mark on Li Mu's neck and said jokingly:
"You were so happy last night that you got up so late!"
Li Mu realized that Zhou Qiang might have guessed something, so he walked up and patted Zhou Qiang.
"Don't laugh. Tell me, why are you carrying so many things here?"
Zhou Qiang smiled, said nothing, and handed everything in his hand to Li Mu.
Li Mu took it with some doubts.
"For you and sister-in-law. If it weren't for you yesterday, I might not have really wanted that child."
"After I sent Lifang back home last night, Lifang asked me to buy it for you."
Hearing Zhou Qiang say this, Li Mu suddenly didn't know what to say, thinking:
"Damn it. I shouldn't have called them over last night. Now things are getting serious."
But he said, "Okay, then you take good care of Lifang. By the way, have you had breakfast? Do you want to stay for dinner?"
Zhou Qiang waved his hand and left.
Li Mu looked at Zhou Qiang's back, shook his head, and walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
After Li Mu prepared breakfast, he went next door to pick up Aunt Wang and Ruoruo.
Then he went back to the room and called Lin Wan out.
At the dinner table, Li Mu told everyone that he was going to the countryside tomorrow to make arrangements for Wu Min.
————————————————-
After breakfast, Li Mu went to the supply and marketing cooperative and called Wu Min, telling her about going back home together the next day.
After the two of them discussed it, Li Mu went next door to find Uncle Liu.
"Uncle Liu, are you home?" Li Mu stood outside the courtyard wall and shouted towards the house.
Uncle Liu was arranging the flowers and plants. When he heard Li Mu's voice, he hurriedly said, "Come in."
Li Mu walked in carrying the gift that Zhou Qiang had sent him today.
"Uncle, I would like to ask you to find me a more reliable decoration team. I want to decorate the shop I recently rented."
Uncle Liu nodded and said, "Xiao Wan has already told me."
"I'll arrange for someone to go there in two days. You just need to arrange someone to guard there."
Li Mu discussed the decoration with Uncle Liu and then went home to pack up.
After returning home, he sent a message to Zhou Qiang on the pager, and then planned to discuss with Lin Wan about getting some money out.
The next morning, Li Mu went to the station to wait for Wu Min.
Seeing Wu Min walking to the station with bags in her hands, Li Mu walked up and took the things from Wu Min's hands.
He smiled and said, "Are you going to settle down with us? You are carrying so many things."
Wu Min looked behind Li Mu and asked unhappily, "Where's Brother Qiangzi? Isn't he going back?"
Hearing Wu Min's question, Li Mu didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.
The two of them didn't speak during the whole journey. After they arrived at the place, Li Mu said, "Qiangzi's girlfriend is pregnant, and he won't be back soon."
Wu Min, who was originally very happy, suddenly became depressed.
The two walked towards the village chief's house, one in front and one behind.
Uncle Wang, who had just returned from the fields, watched the two men approaching from the village entrance and walked over carrying a hoe.
He smiled and asked, "Xiao Mu, you're back."
When he got closer and saw Wu Min next to Li Mu, he frowned and asked seriously, "What is this?"
Li Mu was afraid that Uncle Wang might misunderstand him, so he quickly said, "This is the expert I called over to help me take care of the fish pond."
After hearing Li Mu's explanation, Uncle Wang felt relieved. He was afraid that Li Mu would treat Lin Wan badly and find a woman outside and bring her back.
Uncle Wang walked up to Wu Min and took the luggage from her. He said enthusiastically, "Okay, let's go to her house for dinner. Your aunt will definitely be very happy to know that you are back."
The three people walked one after the other.
Before I reached the house, Aunt Liu, who was busy working, came out in a hurry.
Seeing Li Mu, he walked up to him happily and said, "Xiao Mu, you're back."
"Yes, auntie, I also brought you a lot of delicious food."
Li Mu walked forward and handed over the prepared items.
Aunt Liu said in a somewhat reproachful tone, "You always buy things every time you come here. I wonder if you and Qiangzi have nowhere to spend your money."
Li Mu smiled without saying anything and walked into the house.
Uncle Wang carried their things into the house and greeted them with a smile, "Sit down, I'll ask your aunt to make you something delicious."
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Aunt Liu prepared the meal.
At the dinner table, Li Mu discussed his plan of coming here with Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang immediately said that he would ask the villagers to help clean up Zhou Qiang’s ancestral home in the afternoon so that the two of them could stay there.
Originally, Uncle Wang said that there were rooms at home and he wanted them to live there.
But Wu Min felt embarrassed and refused.
There was no other way, Uncle Wang could only ask the villagers to help the two of them clean up the ancestral home.
After everything was done, Wu Min was eager to go check on the fish pond, but Li Mu refused as it was getting dark.
The two of them tidied up a bit and prepared to go to bed.
Early the next morning
Before Wu Min and Li Mu got up, Uncle Wang had already walked in with the prepared breakfast.
He shouted loudly into the house: "Get up and have breakfast. Xiaomu, Xiaomin"
They came out of the room sleepily and saw the breakfast prepared on the table.
"Uncle Wang, it's too early. It's not even daybreak yet."
Li Mu said while sounding a little sleepy.
Uncle Wang smiled, said nothing, and just pulled Li Mu to sit down.
Uncle Wang came so early because he wanted to see if what Li Mu said was true and whether the two of them came out of the same room in the morning.
But fortunately, the two were not in the same room.
Uncle Wang then breathed a sigh of relief.
I feel that Li Mu is indeed better and not as bad as before.
