Hand in hand [Rebirth]

"Auntie, this is something my family sent over. I'm going to disturb you during this time." Zhou Ze heard that Chen Ran's mother was back, and asked Zhou Zhen to bring some supplements when he went to make up lessons. Chen Ran's mother.

"Student, you are too polite! You can come to play anytime, and you don't need to bring anything." Chen Ran's mother rubbed her hands, but didn't dare to take it.When Zhou Zhen left last night, she was shocked when she saw a driver coming to pick him up.When she was working as a nanny in a wealthy community, she had seen the driver's car in that community, and the car cost a million dollars.She never thought that her son's classmate's family would be so rich.Looking at Zhou Zhen again today, the more I look at it, the more extravagant I feel.

"There are no female elders in my family, so these things can only be left alone." Zhou Zhen put the supplements on the table. "Look, eat whatever is suitable for you, or give it away if you don't."

"How embarrassing..." Chen Ran's mother felt hot when she looked at those expensive gift boxes.She asked Chen Ran last night, and knew that Xiao Zhou was at the same table as Chen Ran. She often came to the house to ask Chen Ran to give him extra lessons, and occasionally had a meal here.The kid who lives next door, Li Mu, is also the young master of a rich family, but what is rare is that he cooks well.When she was not at home, Chen Ran's meals were cooked by Li Mu.I am very grateful.Her family's economy is not good, and she doesn't have the conditions to pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Chen Ran simply follows her and has no requirements for food. She still eats a bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables.But the child is growing up and studying so hard, how can he not eat better?During the few days she stayed at her mother's house, she was always worried that the child would not eat enough to eat. Now that she came back, she found that the child was not thin, and looked stronger. Li Mu made vegetables and fish for him every day, and prepared it every night. Night snack……

Chen Ran's mother was very sorry, Li Mu was very grateful for helping to cook, and she had to spend money to buy this meat and that dish.Immediately, he discussed with Chen Ran and wanted to pay Li Mu for the food, but Li Mu refused as soon as he said this.Li Mu's child said that the food expenses were all paid by Zhou's parents, so that the child would not be hungry when he made up lessons, and it was also a thank you for Chen Ran's hard work in making up lessons. If she insisted on such a care, it would make the other party feel embarrassed Come back for extra lessons.

Only then did she stop thinking about paying for the food.Now that Zhou Zhen brought a gift again, Chen Ran's mother was even more embarrassed.

"Auntie, just accept it." Li Mu also persuaded.He asked Chen Ran before he knew that Chen Ran's mother was only in her early forties this year, but years of overwork made her age rapidly, so that her face looked much older than her real age.

Chen Ran's mother was very moved. She had always been afraid of rich people, but the children of these two rich families were very kind, especially Li Mu, who could cook, clean the house, and take care of others. , it is even more considerate than a little padded jacket!

"Mom, if uncle can't do without people, you can go and help. I'm fine alone." His mother has always felt ashamed of uncle and the others because of being called to collect debts by creditors, and now she has the opportunity to make up for this guilt , Chen Ran also wanted his mother to have a better life.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely make Chen Ran fat and fat!" Li Mu agreed without exaggeration.It was really inconvenient for Chen Ran's mother to be at home. He was afraid that his drug addiction would frighten this simple woman, and he didn't want her to label him as a bad boy.

Chen Ran's mother was a little hesitant before, and wanted to stay at home for two more days, but seeing that Chen Ran and Li Mu got along well, and that Chen Ran was well taken care of when eating, she felt relieved.

"Then Chen Ran, I'll trouble you to take care of it. Auntie is here to thank you." Chen Ran's mother said sincerely.

"Auntie, you don't have to be so polite, you can leave at ease, I will take good care of him." Li Mu put his arm around Chen Ran's shoulders, like two good brothers.

Chen Ran glanced at him silently, Li Mu turned his head just in time to meet his deep gaze, and raised his eyebrows.

Chen Ran smiled and said nothing.

After explaining some trivial matters to Chen Ran, Chen Ran's mother stuffed Chen Ran with some money and left.Chen Ran is fine here, she can help her younger brother with peace of mind, and save two coins for the New Year.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and lay lazily on the sofa, not wanting to move.He was used to living without the restraints of his elders, so he felt quite uncomfortable when he had to get along with them all of a sudden.

"Stop cooking tonight, let's go out to eat." Chen Ran said suddenly.

"Go out to eat?" Li Mu looked at him in surprise.Having lived under the same roof with Chen Ran for so long, he knew very well that Chen Ran was a frugal person, and he would not waste money outside if it was not necessary.

"The prize money for participating in the physics competition before has been distributed." Chen Ran solved his doubts for him.

Li Mu's eyes lit up, "How much?" He is a scumbag, dizzy when he sees textbooks, and has always admired those top students who can't solve any problems. He knows that Chen Ran is good at studying, but he doesn't know how good he is. .

After Chen Ran counted, Li Mu immediately sat up straight and said, "What kind of prize did you get?" Although he didn't pay much attention to the money, it must not be an ordinary competition that can reward so much.

"First Prize in National Physics Competition."

Li Mu's eyes widened. There was a future scientist hiding beside him!The look in Chen Ran's eyes suddenly changed.When I was young, the teacher asked the students: What do you want to do when you grow up?His answer at the time was: I want to be a scientist!At that time, when I was young, I felt that scientists were awesome and could build spaceships to explore space.Of course, any dream when you grow up is a scumbag!But I still admire those who are committed to scientific research.

Thinking that Chen Ran might become a scientist, Li Mu looked at him even more intensely.It's a little exciting to think about cooking for scientists!

Zhou Zhen was also shocked. Chen Ran won this award and should be able to recommend directly to the Q major and the B major, but he usually does not relax at all in his studies just because he has a recommended quota.I can't help but sigh in my heart, there is a reason why Xueba is Xueba.

Li Mu, who originally wanted to have a big meal, immediately vetoed the place he thought before. There are so many people in the country, but there is only one person for the first prize. It is conceivable how difficult it is to win this prize. It's worth it.

"Young Master Zhou, do you want to go together?"

"There's no way you can't go for a dinner." Zhou Ze has an appointment with a client tonight, and he doesn't want to eat alone.

"Three people..." Li Mu thought for a while, and decided on a few places in his mind, but, "Chen Ran, do you have anything you want to eat in particular?" Is it Chen Ran's hard-earned bonus, or is it up to his opinion? Mainly.

"I don't care, just look at the arrangement." Chen Ran found it very interesting to see his careful planning.

"Then let's go eat seafood barbecue!" Li Mu said brightly, "Young Master Zhou, I will borrow your car. Let's go to the beach on Haibin Boulevard tonight!" The seafood over there is cheap and delicious!Although the place is a bit far away, having a car is not a problem at all!Especially since tomorrow is Sunday, Chen Ran and the others don't have to go to class, so it's okay to play late.

"Okay." Zhou Zhen responded, feeling a little regretful, if only Zhou Ze could go too.

When school was over in the evening, the driver Brother Liu brought the car over to Zhou Zhen, and then Li Mu directly sat in the driver's seat to act as the driver temporarily.

"Do you have a driver's license?" Chen Ran was very worried. There were frequent news about the rich second generation driving a luxury car and hitting XXX.

Li Mu directly gave him his driver's license, and then started the car.

Chen Ran opened the driver's license, Li Mu's expression on the certificate was correct, his hair was docilely placed on his forehead, and his eyes were particularly clear.Chen Ran bent his lips, and when he saw the date of birth, he said in surprise, "Li Mu, are you 21 years old?" After speaking, he stared at Li Mu's side face in disbelief.

"Can't you tell?" Li Mu turned his head and grinned at him, his eyebrows were curved, his fair and delicate face didn't look like a young man at all.

"Aren't you just in the third year of high school?" He remembered that Zhou Zhen told him before that Li Mu dropped out of school because he wanted to quit drugs.

"Yes, but it has nothing to do with age." Li Mu didn't care at all, "I was not in good health when I was young, and I was much thinner than children of the same age, so I went to school very late."

He was actually three years older than him... Chen Ran still couldn't believe it, but if the female junior was holding a gold brick, what would the male junior be holding?

About an hour later, a group of three arrived at the beach.Li Mu didn't drive towards the crowded beach, but turned to a busy street nearby.

As soon as I got out of the car, a burst of strong aroma hit my nostrils.

Chen Ran looked up and saw that the whole street was full of food stalls, such as X Zai barbecue restaurant, X sister's late night snack stall, full of the atmosphere of the market.In particular, motorcycles and electric vehicles are parked around the food stalls, and there are quite a few people driving here like them.

"The seafood barbecue here is pretty good." Li Mu led the way.

Zhou Zhen had never been to this kind of place before, it felt quite fresh.Chen Ran heard people say that the seafood barbecue at the seaside beach is pretty good, but he hasn't been there yet, so today is a good time to try it.

There are many round tables outside each store, and they are full of people just after dark.The air is filled with the delicious smell of seafood, sparks are jumping on the charcoal stove outside the store, the skewers in the hands of the barbecue boys make squeaking sounds from time to time, the cheers of the guests toasting and drinking, and the shouts of the waiters serving the food, The whole street was buzzing with people, and it was extremely lively.

Li Mu chose the largest barbecue restaurant, Brother X Seafood City. The store was crowded with people. There were dozens of glass tanks on three floors in the lobby on the first floor. Thin oxygen tubes were inserted into the tanks and they were bubbling. There are all kinds of seafood inside, common fish, shrimp and crab, fresh live lobster, colorful conch... almost everything that people think of eating seafood is available.

Several customers were ordering seafood, and the staff at the side immediately fished out the fish and shrimp that the customers liked and weighed them on the spot.The fresh fish and shrimps are alive and kicking on the electronic scale, and it is gratifying to watch.

A girl in an apron welcomed him in with a smile, "What would you like to eat, how many beers would you like?"

Zhou Zhen and Chen Ran had never been here before. After Li Mu asked their opinions, they ordered seafood porridge, grilled fish and other dishes.

The seafood porridge was served quickly, and the grilled shrimps were still roasting on the stove, and they would be served later.

Chen Ran took a sip of the porridge and nodded. The porridge is delicious and delicious.

Seeing that he was satisfied, Li Mu was relieved, and picked up the shrimp in the bowl to eat.

Zhou Zhen looked at this thriving seafood city while eating porridge.Seafood City has three floors in total, the second and third floors are all boxes, they arrived late, all the boxes on the upper floor were booked, so they could only sit in the lobby on the first floor.The lobby is overcrowded, although it is noisy, but it is also interesting.

Suddenly, Zhou Zhen stared in a certain direction and frowned.

Li Mu followed his gaze and looked over there. Isn't that man in a black suit on the phone over there Xu Da?

Why is Xu Da here?
