Aunt Xue's quick response proved that the speaker of the mobile phone had never left her ears, and she had been listening to Zhang Xiaochen's movements.
"How is it? Is it convenient for you to come over and open the door now?"
Although Zhang Xiaochen had heard what Aunt Xue said to the boy just now, she still asked tentatively.
"Okay, okay, I've already asked him to go. Please wait for a little while. I've wronged you. Why are you still standing at the door? Go quickly, you brat."
It was obvious that the latter sentence was addressed to another person, as the boy did not immediately execute the order when he heard it, but continued to stand at the door in a daze.
"Oh, can you go later? I just came back to prepare for dinner, and I have to study in the evening."
"Hurry up and open the door! Bring someone home for dinner by the way, hurry up!"
Aunt Xue ordered sternly, then turned to Zhang Xiaochen and spoke warmly and thoughtfully.
"Xiaochen, you just came back. Come over and have a meal together later. I'll ask this kid to pick you up."
"Okay, sorry for the trouble."
"Oh, what's the trouble? I must come over for dinner later."
"OK, all right."
After saying that, the phone was disconnected. Zhang Xiaochen just waited quietly. Soon Zhang Xiaochen heard something moving outside the door.
Zhang Xiaochen took a look at his backpack and made sure that there was nothing valuable to take with him. His ID card and other items were all in his bag, so he got up and walked out.
The boy who Zhang Xiaochen locked in the rented house just now came and opened the door, but he also looked reluctant and had a foul look on his face.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were a thief, so I locked you here. Let's go, my aunt asked you to have dinner with us."
Seeing the unwillingness of the little boy in front of him, Zhang Xiaochen didn't care about him.
"Excuse me, why don't you run away? It won't delay your going to school later, right?"
"No, just walk faster. After dinner, I can catch up with class, otherwise my aunt will force me to come."
Zhang Xiaochen nodded after understanding the situation, and then left with the young boy without asking his name.
After arriving, everyone had a meal together. During the meal, Zhang Xiaochen and Aunt Xue kept chatting, and the boy remained silent.
Aunt Xue, like other gossips, always asks the same questions.
"Xiaochen, you've been working for so long, do you have a partner?"
"Not yet, and I don't have any intention of finding a partner yet. Anyway, I'm still young and I can still work hard for a few more years."
"Oh, you can't say that. These days, the older a woman is, the harder it is to find a partner. Unlike men, as long as they have money, it's easy to find young and beautiful girls. And as women get older,
It will not be easy to have a baby by then, and older mothers are very dangerous."
Zhang Xiaochen knew that everything she said was for her own sake and for her own good, so it was not easy for her to say anything unpleasant.
"Don't worry, Aunt Xue. Anyway, it depends on fate for things like this. I think work is more important now and earn more money."
"Yes, it's the right thing to be financially independent. Just like me and your uncle, I have my own house and the rent, so your uncle doesn't dare to care about my gambling or anything like that, but men get 30 for a flower, and women get 30 for rubbish."
