517 Start to go south

Mumu habitually gave the meat from the fish belly to Xiaomeizi, and also put the bone-rich parts of the fish back and tail from her lunch box into her own lunch pocket.

Xiao Meizi moved her rice bag a little further away: "That's enough, Mumu, I can't eat so much, you eat more."

Mumu didn't care about her: "You are too thin, you must eat more, otherwise when Sister Taozi comes back, she will think I abused you."

This is a habit that Mumu has developed. In his eyes, Xiaomei has always been a poor little girl who is not loved or cared for by anyone.

He would play tricks on his nephews and nieces, deliberately guarding their food, snatching their food, and making them cry in anger.

But when it comes to Xiaomei, Mumu wants to give her all the good things he has.

The dilapidated little hut in Qinglian Village and the blind old grandmother who insisted on supporting her granddaughter until she graduated from high school even though her family was already penniless, have taken root in Mumu's heart.

The old lady is gone, Sister Taozi and Ahang have also gone to the capital, and Mumu feels that he has the obligation to take responsibility for taking care of Xiaomeizi.

After all, it was he and Ahang who brought Xiaomeizi here. With him around, no one could bully Xiaomeizi, not even himself.

"Xiao Meizi, don't worry about those people. We will leave here in two or three months and go to the capital to study. You must not make any mistakes at this critical moment and be fooled by those four-eyed toads. We have made an agreement with Ah Hang. See you in the capital, see you in Huaqing!"

Xiao Meizi heard this and smiled unkindly:

"Don't worry, Mumu, I won't make any mistakes. Huaqing is your and Ah Hang's choice. My grades are similar to Sister Hua's. It's good enough for me to go to a foreign language university. I can't even think about Huaqing.

But we will definitely meet in the capital, I have already applied to a university there."

Mumu nodded: "Anyway, we are all in the capital!"

Mumu thought for a moment and said, "By the way, if there are still toads bothering you in the future, you can tell them that I am your target, and let them take a piss in the mirror at home and look at themselves, instead of thinking about eating swan meat all day long!"

Xiao Meizi laughed and almost got a fish bone stuck in her throat: "Mumu, what nonsense are you talking about? If Director Zhong hears you, he will beat you up again.

Besides, how can I be considered a swan? I am just an ugly duck from Qinglian Village."

Mumu stared at Xiaomeizi for a long time, "You haven't looked in the mirror for a long time, right?"

Xiao Meizi touched her face blankly: "My mirror broke two days ago, and I haven't had time to buy a new one yet. What happened? Is there something on my face?"

Mumu grinned: "No wonder, I didn't even know I was so pretty."

Xiao Meizi's fair face instantly turned red, and it went all the way to the back of her ears:

"Mumu, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't eat with you!"

"Okay, okay, okay," Mumu surrendered, "You are too shameless. You should learn from me and be thicker-skinned. Then no one will dare to make fun of you anymore."

Xiao Meizi glared at him and said, "No one makes fun of me except you."

Mumu smiled slyly: "Are you kidding? You just block someone and confess your feelings? Just like that four-eyed guy just now?"

Xiao Meizi was so angry that she became a pufferfish: "Mo Jialin!"

Mumu raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. By the way, Ah Hang and Chen Chen will be back next week, remember to take a leave in advance, and then we can have a good reunion."

Xiao Meizi bit the end of her chopsticks and said, "Sister Hua is not coming back this time, right?"

Mumu shook his head: "I don't know, I don't think he will come back.

I only heard from Ah Hang that Zigui would come to play with Chenchen."

Chen Zigui skipped a grade in junior high school. In order to be in the same class with Chen Chen in high school, he tried his best and skipped the second year of high school to go to the third year. So he will be in the same class with Chen Chen again when school starts in September.

The two of them have been classmates in elementary school, junior high school, and now high school. Even if they were not in the same major in college, they are definitely alumni. This kind of fate is unmatched.

"I always hear you mention Chen Zigui. I also want to meet him." Xiao Meizi said longingly.

Mumu took out a bag of biscuits from his schoolbag, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xiaomeizi:

"It was sent by Chen Zigui. It is said to be imported from the United States. I tried it and it is not bad."

Xiao Meizi pushed it back: "Take it back and give it to Tangtang and Guoguo. I don't want to eat it."

Mumu ignored her and pushed the empty lunch box over to her:

"Help me wash it while I'm at it. Give me the bike key. I'm going to town."

Xiao Meizi's bicycle was forced to be kept by Bai Hua for her to use. Su Taotao asked her to sell it and gave the one in her house to her younger sister.

Bai Hua refused, saying that this was a farewell gift she left for Xiao Mei Zi, and from now on she would see the car as she saw the person.

After hearing this theory, Su Taotao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Su Taotao didn't argue with her, and her table was finally left to another poor student in the factory.

Xiao Meizi didn't even ask him what he was doing in town, she just handed him the car keys.

Mumu took the car key, rubbed Xiaomeizi's head, and then got up and left.

As soon as he left, a young girl who had just graduated from high school and was assigned to work here not long ago came up to Xiao Meizi and said:

"Sister Meizi, is that your boyfriend? He's so tall and handsome."

"Cough cough cough cough..." Xiao Meizi was almost choked by a fish bone again. She shouldn't have eaten fish today.

"No, no," Xiao Meizi blushed and shook her head, "We are..."

Xiaomeizi tried hard to find a word to describe the relationship between her and Mumu, but found it was really difficult to define.

Although they are classmates, they have never gone to school together.

If we talk about fellow villagers, it's her and Fu Yuanhang, not Mumu.

Not even childhood sweethearts.

After thinking for a long time, I could only say dryly: "We are just ordinary friends. No, it's not the kind of relationship you think."

A young girl’s heart is always filled with spring. For an eighteen-year-old girl, everything she sees is poetic.

The little girl thought Xiao Meizi was being shy: "If you say no, then no, he is really handsome, and he always smiles. You can tell at a glance that he is very nice to you."

Xiao Meizi couldn't deny that Mumu was good to her. He had been very kind to her since they started in Qinglian Village. In her heart, Mumu, like Su Taotao and Fu Yuanhang, were benefactors whom she would repay for her whole life.

"Well, he's very good, one of the best people I've ever met in my life."

…

Su Taotao's family, who were far away in the capital, had already moved south.

Bai Hua asked Su Taotao to bring a gift to Xiao Meizi and refused to come back no matter what.

Let them have fun, and she will help keep a closer eye on the store's business.

This time, Chen Zigui also went south with them.

Chen Zigui is becoming more and more cheerful, and his personality is becoming more and more like Chen Chen. He has become a sunny boy who loves to laugh. It is hard to tell that he was once a child with mental disorders.

Apart from being smarter than ordinary children, he looks no different from ordinary children on the surface. However, he still won't take the initiative to make friends. He only plays with people who are good friends with Chenchen.

He also ignores people who are not familiar with Chen Chen.

Mother Chen's relationship with Su Taotao has become increasingly close in the past two years, and she is eager to have Chen Zigui recognize Su Taotao as her godmother.

Not to mention that Chen Zigui just followed Su Taotao to the south, even if he followed Su Taotao abroad, Chen's mother would be happy to see it happen.

She didn't know how she managed to buy plane tickets for Su Taotao and the others.

This saves them a lot of time on the road.

Chenchen's favorite uncle was in the capital. His grandmother's house was too small and inconvenient to live in. He also had a fat cousin whom he didn't like very much. They only stayed there for three days before continuing to move south.

This time, they followed the train stations from city to city, and it was half a month later that they slowly arrived at Qinglian Village.

Mumu complained that they were moving too slowly, and Xiaomeizi never returned to Qinglian Village after coming to the food factory.

So Mumu picked a morning when even cicadas found it too hot, and took Xiaomeizi on the train to Qinglian Village...
