The elevator reached the first floor. Li Mo operated the wheelchair on the remote control to leave the villa and headed towards an ordinary primary school with ease.
There are also considerations when choosing a school. It should be close to home and neither too good nor too bad, so that the financial pressure on Li Mo and Shi Yu Qiluo will not be too great.
Some very good and very bad schools often charge for tutoring, textbook fees, material fees, teacher subsidies, class fees, activity fees, and school uniform fees... Li Mo seriously doubts whether this money is really used for students, or whether it is used to buy a new luxury car for the principal?
Li Mo managed to support his family by spending as little as possible except for the most basic expenses.
Fortunately, Shi Yu Qiluo had some connections in the past nine years and got some medicine for free from Tianming. Otherwise, if she had been admitted to the hospital, the cost would have been at least one million.
"Alas... I have experienced how difficult it is to be a parent."
Li Mo arrived at the primary school gate as usual, sitting quietly in a wheelchair, looking out of place among the group of parents waiting for their children to finish school.
"Hey, classmate, you're here again? Your home doesn't seem far from here. Why don't you let the kids go back by themselves? You have so many younger brothers and sisters in elementary school. It's safer to go together."
"You don't look too bad. If you're really not feeling well, you should just rest at home. It's not a big deal to skip a day or two."
"I'm telling you, when children are old enough, they should be allowed to go home and develop their independence! They can't be spoiled, understand?"
Some parents took the initiative to talk to Li Mo, most of them were teaching him as elders.
Faced with such questions, Li Mo always smiled casually.
"I feel at ease only when I personally take them home. I don't want to be lazy and resting when someone around me has an accident."
"We can't ignore the feelings and safety of children just for the sake of our own enjoyment."
"Well...even though I'm not their parent, as their older brother and guardian, I still have to fulfill my obligations and take good care of them, right?"
"Hey? Haven't you been here for five days? I remember you. Do you only come every three or four days? Your child is only in first grade and is alone. Are you so relieved?"
Li Mo caught someone he disliked and asked him.
The man was a little flustered after hearing what Li Mo said. He didn't know how to respond, so he could only rush towards the group of students in a lame manner, saying, "I, I... I saw my child, so I'm leaving first."
But Li Mo looked for a long time and only saw her standing alone in the crowd, and he couldn't find his child for a long time.
"Haha." Li Mo sneered calmly.
An elderly grandmother, Li Mo saw her playing mahjong in the card hall more often when he returned home than he saw her waiting for her first-grade grandson in school.
Her home is far from the school, and she has to cross several intersections and roads to get home.
It’s really reassuring.
One time, Li Mo waited for the child and casually tricked him into giving him some candy. His family probably didn't pay much attention to him or educate him, and they probably just casually said, "Be careful." Maybe they didn't even say that.
The child's parents are working in other places, and only his grandmother is taking care of him at home. He cannot even have a hot meal when he returns home. He has to wait until his grandmother finishes playing mahjong.
It's... hard to say in a word.
I didn't expect to see the standard Shenzhou way of raising children in the Far East. Li Mo couldn't imagine what would happen if something really happened to the child, such as being hit by a car or kidnapped.
How desperate would his parents be, and what would the child’s grandmother say?
Should I say, "I didn't expect this to happen?" and then keep apologizing?
Do parents want an apology?
Haha... black humor.
Li Mo withdrew his thoughts and didn't care what the people around him thought of him, whether it was understanding and respect or contempt, disgust and disdain.
He doesn't need anyone's approval. Once he takes on this role, he has to bear the corresponding responsibilities.
Fight for a better future! Work hard for a better tomorrow!
Li Mo had a warm smile on his face. His thin face highlighted his three-dimensional features, and he was quite handsome.
Her face was covered with a layer of sickly haggardness, adding a touch of feminine beauty.
At sixteen, if he is in school and in good health, he would probably be the standard image of a tall boy, sunny, cheerful and full of energy.
It’s a pity that he can only sit in a wheelchair now and can’t go out for more than two hours at a time.
After waiting for ten minutes, Li Mo finally saw twenty-five children gathered together and walked out of the school.
Chapter 47 Obscene Wedding (5k)
Twenty-five are in primary school and the remaining twelve are in junior high school.
After entering junior high school, he went home by himself. Li Mo repeated the safety warnings at home countless times and taught him various emergency plans.
The purpose is to ensure safety.
Oh no, he has turned into the familiar nagging monster.
Who cares? As long as nothing happens to the kids, that’s the basic responsibility of a guardian.
"Brother Li Mo! You're here!"
When the children saw Li Mo, they quickened their pace, with youthful smiles on their faces, and gathered around Li Mo to tell him about the interesting things that happened to them at school.
"Well, no hurry, let's talk slowly along the way. Let's go home."
Li Mo steered the wheelchair, moving forward very slowly.
Along the way, a child trotted up to Li Mo and performed a backflip, while another child followed quietly behind the wheelchair.
Li Mo looked like an old man in his fifties, sitting in a wheelchair, smiling as he watched them, full of energy.
When she returned home, Cocolia had been waiting for her for a long time, sitting on a chair in the living room, with two little ones beside her.
Li Mo led the rest of the children into the house and waved his hand. The children sat down in various corners of the hall very consciously.
If there is a seat, sit down; if there is no seat, stand. Look at Li Mo and Cocolia.
"Aunt Cocolia, long time no see. How is the experiment going recently?" Li Mo was very easygoing and took the initiative to speak.
At the same time, Shi Yu Qiluo walked out from the corner and put a thick coat on Li Mo.
"Keep warm." Shigure Qiluo said with concern.
Li Mo had just come back from outside and was exposed to a lot of cold air. His body's ability to regulate temperature was very weak. If he didn't pay attention to keeping warm, he would easily catch a cold and have a fever. A cold would last for at least half a month.
Li Mo returned her gentle gaze. After a brief exchange of glances, they decided to deal with Cocolia first before discussing the matter between them.
"Not very good. The experiment is progressing very slowly. It's collapsing... the natural disasters in this world will destroy everyone sooner or later." Cocolia's face was gloomy, and her expression was obviously more anxious.
Li Mo advised: "Auntie Cocolia, although what I am about to say may be a bit presumptuous, your experiments on human bodies are actually completely unnecessary."
"If it's just to help humanity fight the Honkai, then Destiny is already years ahead of Anti-Entropy in human experiments. They have the science and technology of pre-civilizations and a pretty good leader. The burden of fighting the Honkai doesn't fall on us at all."
Cocolia shook her head. "There are things I have to do. You won't understand unless you've sat in this position."
"Even though it's meaningless?" Li Mo asked back.
Cocolia raised her head, staring at Li Mo with sharp eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she spoke: "Li Mo, you seem to know a lot about Honkai?"
How could Li Mo, who had lived in an orphanage for so many years, know so much?
Cocolia was a little suspicious about what Li Mo had done over the years.
Li Mo naturally couldn't drag out all of this. Could he tell Cocolia that others had interfered with the second collapse, causing it to end early and saving the lives of the S-class Valkyrie Cecilia and the entire Snow Wolf team?
By the way, I also tricked the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance...
This cannot be helped.
"I don't know how to explain it. I made a deal with that destined bishop, Otto Apokalis, and we agreed to keep all the details of the deal confidential."
"Thus, I have some understanding of humanity's current struggle against the Honkai, as well as Destiny's plans for the future."
"From my perspective, Aunt Cocolia's human experiments were completely unnecessary. Otto's ambition wasn't to rule the world; it was just a means to an end."
"The future of the world ultimately belongs to young people like Seele and Bronya."
Li Mo smiled and cast a warm look at Seele and Bronya, trying to lower their guard.
Seele was alright, as she was naturally soft-hearted. But Bronya, due to her professional habits, still refused to let down her guard.
As for whether the confidentiality agreement was made up, Otto didn't say that. It was all Li Mo's foresight as a time traveler.
Cocolia's expression became very serious. She stared at Li Mo, as if she was planning to do something.
Shi Yu Qiluo slightly adjusted her position and stood behind Li Mo. Her fingers moved involuntarily, with her hands behind her back, and ice-blue light lingered between her fingers.
"Li Mo, I need to know what you and Otto said."
"I'm sorry, Aunt Cocolia, please forgive me for not being able to tell you what I know."
"What if it's just the two of us?"
"Neither."
Li Mo's firm attitude made Cocolia unable to start.
Cocolia was well aware of Li Mo's intelligence, which had been evident since he was very young. He was adept at many things and had foresight.
Since Li Mo is so optimistic about the future of the world, she, as a person involved in the situation, should be happy about it.
However, as the one in power, Cocolia does not allow her subordinates to hide the truth about the future of humanity and the Honkai.
If it were a normal person, Cocolia would have used special means to force the other person to speak.
But Li Mo was a poor child she adopted, and Cocolia couldn't bring herself to do it.
In the end, Cocolia finally chose to compromise, sighed and said, "Well... forget it, since you don't want to speak, then I won't ask any more questions."
"You've already seen the information of the two girls next to me. This one is Xi'er Fuleai."
Cocolia pushed a thin girl with blue-black hair in front of her. Then, Bronya, with her face paralyzed, stood up and said, "Bronya Zaychek."
Kokolia was quite helpless and gave a bitter smile: "This is the daughter of my old friend Alexi. He died in the Second Honkai. I promised to take good care of his daughter."
"Seele, Bronya, you will live with him from now on. Don't worry, he will take good care of you. Go to his side. I have some follow-up work to deal with in the laboratory, so I'll leave first."
Cocolia pointed at Li Mo and said, then pushed the two of them forward.
After a brief greeting, Cocolia left the orphanage.
Seele and Bronya were left staring at each other.
"Hello, my name is Li Mo, and I will be your guardian for the next few years. You can call me Brother Li Mo. We are all family in the orphanage, so there's no need to be so formal."
Li Mo spun his wheelchair, turned around, and shouted to the person lazily sitting on the sofa playing with his phone, "Xing, take Seele and Bronya to choose a room, and make dinner."
Hearing Li Mo's call, Xing quickly walked up to Seele and Bronya, dressed simply, smiling, with a harmless expression.
It is hard to imagine that this is the same person as the arrogant and domineering Uncle Xing.
It's very simple. Just pick one weekend every month, force her not to sleep or eat, and feel Li Mo's three views.
After listening, they have to take the ideological and moral examination paper specially customized by Li Mo. If they do not score 100 points out of 95, they have to attend the class again and then take the test again until their thoughts are corrected.
Once you go against the answers you wrote down, you will face ideological lessons and ideological tests again.
Of course, Li Mo still eats and sleeps.
After several Hell Weeks, Xing became much more obedient.
From then on, he would look at the traffic lights when crossing the road, observe the road conditions, never swear, and no longer bully the weak.
It can be said that Li Mo put in a lot of effort to correct the distorted psychology of these children.
In his early years, he didn't go to school or work, and spent all his time doing this.
"Sister Seele, Sister Bronya, come with me." Xing spoke softly, her voice cheerful.
Li Mo will never see the love triangle between Xing, Bronya, and Seele again. Is that a pity? Not a pity.
Shi Yu Qiluo pushed Li Mo back to their room on the fifth floor.
"Hmm! I finally got rid of Cocolia. I've hinted to her so many times that human experiments are unnecessary. Why not shut it down and give me the funds to take care of the children in the orphanage? But she still didn't listen."
Li Mo stretched lazily, straightened his back, and suddenly felt a softness in his outstretched arms.
Shigure Kirara held his hand and stuffed something into it.
"What is this?" Li Mo put down his hand and opened it. There was an exquisite little box lying in his palm.
Shi Yu Qiluo smiled brightly, but did not reveal the answer to the mystery. She said meaningfully, "You'll know when you open it."
Li Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and joked about the contents of the small box: "Okay, after not seeing you for a few days, you've learned to create suspense. Let me guess, such a small box, there can't be a magic pill that can cure all diseases in it, right? Hahaha..."
Without much hesitation, Li Mo opened the small box, and inside was a diamond ring.
