Chapter 7 (1/2)

A rainstorm only cooled Haizhou for half a day, and the next day it was as hot as a dog.

Li Mu's parents took a commuter bus to work after breakfast. After their parents left, Li Mu's phone didn't stop from nine o'clock, and all his classmates called.

Some people call to ask how their college entrance examination is going; some people are not sure about some questions of the science test paper. They can't wait for the day after tomorrow's assessment. They call to find Li Mu for confirmation; some ferromagnetic students in high school ask themselves to go to the Internet bar at night to book night.

The name of ferromagnetic is Zhao Kang, who was born in Li Mu's elementary school. He lived in a community with Li Mu. Almost all the workers in the community were workers in Xiling coal mine. Zhao Kang's parents were no exception. They played together from wearing crotch pants. Primary school was the same class in their children's school. Although junior high school and senior high school were different classes, they were also in the same school all the time. They had a very good relationship in their childhood.

However, Zhao Kang didn't perform well in the college entrance examination this year. He thought he could cross the undergraduate line, but he didn't expect to be nearly 20 points short. He wanted to go to the College of the second volunteer, but his parents were always arrogant and forced Zhao Kang to go back to school for a year. In that year, Zhao Kang's treason became more and more serious. In the second half of the semester, he had a big fight with his family and ran away from home.

Li Mu, who was in college at that time, tried to contact Zhao Kang for many times, but this kid was very angry. Let alone Li Mu. Even his parents couldn't contact him. He just received a phone call from him for peace every new year.

Every year after the new year's Eve, there is always a landline in a certain place in China that calls Li Mu. The place is often changed, and the other party only says six words each time: brother, happy new year.

Before Li Mu responds, the phone will hang up, and then go back. Either no one answers, or the owner of the public phone booth.

Li Mu knows that Zhao Kang is the one who calls. He has been in the habit for more than ten years, but he has no idea about his life for more than ten years. He does not know whether his life is good or bad. Fortunately, he is not happy.

Thinking of him, Li Mu couldn't help sighing.

Zhao Kang's intention is to make Li Mu find an excuse to go to the Internet bar at night, but Li Mu's mind is full of stone age, a popular game at the moment, and he says, ”have your parents gone to work yet? If we also go to work, we will have lunch together and go to the Internet bar after eating. ”

”OK, let's go to KFC for lunch. It's my treat.”

At the beginning of 2001, Haizhou opened its first KFC. It's hard for future generations to imagine the booming business. People queuing to buy food often leave the store gate or even line up to the side of the road. Although after half a year, the heat has decreased a lot, KFC is still a fashionable thing for young people.

Li Mu can't help persuading: ”what KFC to eat? It's all junk food. Find a restaurant to fry two dishes.”

”Cut!” Zhao Kang said scornfully, ”KFC's hamburger is delicious. I can't bear to eat it once a month. Would you like to eat it?”

Li Mu no longer insists: ”OK, then KFC, 12 o'clock?”

”Cheng, I'll go to your house to see you later.”

Just hung up Zhao Kang's phone, the line rang again.

”Hello.”

”Li Mu?”

It's a female voice. The voice line is very beautiful.

”Sister Wan?”

”What a sharp ear!” Chen Wan said on the phone, ”where is your home? I'll pay a visit. ”

Li Mu said with a smile, ”my parents are not at home. You are a girl. Is it suitable to run to my home?”

”What's wrong?” Chen Wan murmurs discontentedly: ”you are a little boy. Isn't it appropriate for me, the elder sister, to visit you?”

Little boy

Li Mu pulled open the elastic belt of the big underpants and underpants with his right thumb, looked down and murmured: ”a few years ago, the combat effectiveness has been formed.”

Li Mu reported the address, and Chen Wan said, ”wait, elder sister, go by bike.”

”No more driving?” Li Mu's words are full of ridicule.
