Marvel World Mixed Life

Chapter 24 The Old Man and the Child

New York has always been cloudy and rainy for days.

Gloomy skies hang over the steel jungle of more than 20 million people. People's moods seem to be infected. Pedestrians hurried on with their umbrellas expressionless, and the vehicles that were congested and exhausted made impatient beeps from time to time.

Occasionally, a yellow taxi driven by an old driver jumped out, and when it flashed across the watery road, there would always be a lot of splashes, and the pedestrians who were almost affected began to curse loudly...

Li's handicraft shop.

Li Mo slumped on the rocking chair in a Ge You lying posture, feeling bored and unloved.

That's how people are. When they have something to do, they think that I don't want to do anything and want to rest! I feel itchy all over after being free for a few days.

Turk Barrett's pill sales are going well, the customer response is good, and there is no bad idea.

Li Mo himself finally relaxed and tried one,

From Jessica Jones' house the next day,

walk out,

flushed...

Phil Coulson took a batch of pills from him, sent another batch of medicinal materials, transferred 100,000 US dollars, and left in a hurry, saying that he had something to do at the border.

Tony Stark made a phone call once, and Li Mo wanted to ask him to get two of the latest game equipment at the Blizzard exhibition. But the two started taunting each other while talking on the phone and ended up having a fight. But looking at that bitch's excitement at that time, it may have synthesized new elements.

Was going to drive to Yellowstone, but the damn weather...

In the store, little Lucas was still studying with his law book. This kid was even more Chinese than Chinese. George sat there solemnly watching TV, but looked at Li Mo with expectant eyes from time to time.

This guy, always complaining that people are useless, came up with missions. But how can Li Mo have any ghost mission for him, does running errands to buy cigarettes and alcohol count?

Li Mo touched his nose, and suddenly asked curiously: "George, I read your resume, why did you insist on going to S.H.I.E.L.D. regardless of the troops' retention?"

George was a little embarrassed, and said with reminiscence: "I can say that I am a survivor of a supernatural incident. When I was young, I lived in Indiana. At that time, four classmates accidentally opened the door to a different dimension... Therefore, I have been Very fascinated by these kinds of events. Also, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D. is where the captain stayed.”

Seeing the obsession and admiration on George's face, Li Mo shook his head. He is another Captain America fan. No wonder Coulson recruited this guy.

At this time, little Lucas received a call, and after listening to it, with an unhappy expression on his face, he said helplessly to Li Mo: "Boss, I was kicked out, and I have to live with you until I rent a new house." Stay for a while."

Li Mo was a little strange, "Did you get kicked out? What's going on?"

Little Lucas shook his head and said, "I heard that the apartment building I rented is going to be remodeled by the developer. God knows what can be built in that damn place?"

"Because the place was dilapidated and the rent was cheap, most of the residents signed long-term contracts. Now that the developer wants to break the contract, we young people don't care, and we get a small amount of compensation. But some elderly people don't want to move out there. , was cut off from water and electricity, and people came to harass them from time to time. It was very miserable. But I heard that a newly opened law firm called Nelson Murdoch in Hell’s Kitchen is willing to help them sue the developer.”

George was a little strange, "Normal business behavior? Why don't you want to move?"

Little Lucas rolled his eyes in contempt. How could this well-behaved baby who grew up in a middle-class white family know the hardships of the people at the bottom.

Li Mo explained, "These old people don't have the ability to work or income, and live on relief money. With the previous rent, they can still have a home. If they move out, even if they get compensation, they will be displaced and become homeless."

George was a little stunned, "How could this be? Can I help them do something?"

Little Lucas shook his head expressionlessly, "You can't do anything! Because the whole area will be demolished, and there will be more than 500 widowed and lonely old people. Most of them took drugs and suffered from diseases when they were young. This is not A burden that ordinary people can bear."

Li Mo saw that both of them were a little depressed, and comforted him: "Let's look at the prosecution results of that law firm first. Oh yes, I suddenly thought that eating hot pot in this weather is a good idea..."

Seeing Li Mo busy preparing dishes, George said to Lucas a little touched, "Sir, you are so kind. He cooked for us to comfort us."

Little Lucas curled his lips, "Of course the boss is good, but you can eat less of the dishes he likes to pick up later. Also, how's your drinking capacity?"

…………

After lunch, George dragged little Lucas away. They said they were going out for a stroll, but Li Mo couldn't guess what they were going to do.

George, as an agent of a black-hearted organization like S.H.I.E.L.D., is really unqualified. It can even be called a weird flower.

but,

To see such a warm-hearted fellow,

The mood is always good.

Li Mo squinted his eyes and smoked a cigarette. It's not advisable to exercise after a meal! Lying on the rocking chair and shaking it, he fell asleep and snored...

Jingle bell...jingle bell

A burst of phone ringing suddenly woke up Li Mo who was sleeping. In a daze, he turned on his phone and checked, but there was no caller ID. According to the reputation, it turned out to be a wired phone on the counter.

My store actually has a landline?

I do not know how!

Li Mo stood up and stretched, then answered the phone feebly.

"Hello, is this Li's Handicraft Store?" A girl's voice came from the opposite side, sounding tender and sweet.

"Well, who are you?"

"This is Leo Lieberman, when will you be back?"

"Come here? What are you doing?" Li Mo was a little strange.

"Didn't you already take the order online?"

"Online orders? Wait a minute..." Li Mo covered the receiver and called little Lucas with his mobile phone, "Little Lucas, what the hell is going on? How can we accept orders online?"

After an explanation, Li Mo knew that little Lucas had registered an online store for Li's Handicraft Store in order to expand his business. At that time, I had already talked to Li Mo, but Li Mo just laughed and said to play casually.

The online store is also in the doldrums. I just received my first business yesterday: a little girl whose mother likes Chinese culture. The girl decided to give her mother a birthday surprise. Li Mo and the others needed a handicraft vase as a birthday present and some Chinese knots and ribbons help arrange the birthday party.

Little Lucas had prepared something, but after drinking some wine, he was dragged away by George and forgot about it.

This little Lucas can really find trouble!

Li Mo picked up the receiver and said in as kind a tone as possible: "I'm sorry, little girl, we are going to close down, can you find another one?"

The little girl on the opposite side was anxious when she heard it, and she already sobbed a little, "Then what should I do? I have to arrange it before my mother gets off work, and it's too late to find one! Mom is tired of taking care of us alone, I just want to let Let her be happy..."

What a filial little girl,

What a little angel.

Li Mo's heart softened, "Ok ok, don't worry, I'll go there right away."

Putting down the phone, Li Mo hurriedly packed up his things and rushed out in the Mustang.

Li Mo is a person who has sympathy, but he is more focused on children. He also expressed sympathy for the old people in Hell's Kitchen, but it was just an expression, and he had to think about what to ask him to do. But children are different, especially well-behaved and cute children, if they encounter misfortune, they will cry along with them.

In his thinking, except for some diseases and accidental disasters, many misfortunes of adults stem from their own wrong choices. Either out of greed, or cowardice, or ignorance, or indulgence.

But no matter what the reason is, when you encounter misfortune, even if you are alone, you must clenched your fists and choose to fight with fate.

Even if you fail like a clown, you still have to say f**k you to the damn bitch of fate! Even if you are beaten, you have to straighten your back.

But children are different. The younger they are, the less able they are to fight. They can only passively accept the kindness and cruelty of this world...

The Queen.

The security situation here is much better than that of Hell's Kitchen, but it is also divided into places.

Little Leo's home is located in a middle-class community, a small independent building with a lawn in front of the door. Residents here generally have a stable income, and homeless people and robbers are rarely seen at night.

At this moment, there was a drizzle in the sky. Li Mo got out of the car and walked to the door with the suitcase in his arms without an umbrella.

After ringing the doorbell, I waited inside for a while. A little fat Caucasian girl about seven or eight years old with delicate features opened the door.

"Is it Leo? My name is Li Mo, and I'm the owner of Li's handicraft shop." Li Mo tried his best to put on a kind smile.

"Thank God, you are finally here! Mom will be back in half an hour." Leo cheered and led Li Mo into the room.

After Li Mo entered the door, he took a rough look. There is a common American decoration style here. The living room is neat and orderly, and the hostess' intentions can be seen.

Putting the box on the table, Li Mo took out the things one by one from inside, "Lovely Miss Leo, this is the gift you chose, a beautiful blue and white vase, we have already packed it for you. Here There are also some beautiful ribbons and Chinese knots, I think your mother will like it."

Leo took the things and looked at them one by one, his eyes full of excitement.

"Okay, let's start decorating!" Li Mo looked at the structure of the room, already had a plan in mind, clapped his hands and said loudly.

Pull up the ribbons, hang Chinese knots, and inflate the balloons one by one... After a while, the home is full of festive atmosphere.

Li Mo saw a photo frame of a bearded man when he was playing a balloon, and asked inadvertently, "Leo, where is your father?"

"My father has passed away." Leo's excited eyes suddenly became a little dim.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Li Mo was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, have you ordered a birthday cake yet?"

"I made it myself. I learned it in the handicraft class at school. My pocket money has been used up to buy gifts, but I think my mother will like it." Leo said with some pride.

"What an amazing little girl!" Li Mobi showed a big finger, with an exaggerated exclamation expression. Then he slapped his head again, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, as the hundredth customer of our online store, you are free of charge this time, and I will refund the fee to you later."

"Really? This is really wonderful news!" Leo excitedly gave Li Mo a high-five.

At this moment, a beautiful blond woman entered the door after a sound of unlocking the lock. Seeing the situation in front of him, he exclaimed in shock: "My God, who are you! Leo come here!"

Is this the girl's mother?

Li Mo was a little embarrassed,

...

"I said I didn't blame uncle, do you believe me?"
