Chapter 23: The Sweetness and Bitterness of Life
"Xiaochen, Aunt Xue can tell you, the outside world is not as good as here, you are also a simple girl, Aunt Xue hopes that you can live in this town as you do, and in a few years you will find a favorite boy and marry, although now you are full of yearning, but you must know that the outside world is also very chaotic, and sometimes it is very likely to be ravaged by reality. ”
Aunt Xue said and put down the shoulder bag, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the shoulder bag, and then lit one, moving fluently and skillfully, then took a deep breath of cigarette and spit out a circle.
"Your Aunt Xue and I are also a person who has come over, I also went out to experience some storms and waves, saw the depth of the water outside, it is not good to wade into muddy waters, I worked hard for many years, and finally saved a little small assets, and finally returned to this town with my man, opened a small shop here, and then rented out a small house, which is not very rich, but it is enough for expenses. ”
Zhang Xiaochen listened quietly with a light smile, and when he saw that Aunt Xue no longer spoke, he answered, and said: "Aunt Xue, in fact, in my opinion, everyone understands the truth of life, but you always have to experience the sweetness and bitterness of this world in order to understand life more thoroughly, isn't it." ”
"You're right. After listening to this, Aunt Xue also recognized Zhang Xiaochen's words.
"And isn't there such a sentence? On paper, you have to do it if you want to know about it, no matter what, after all, you still have to experience it yourself, and then you feel it more, anyway, I'm 20 years old, the boss is not small, I should go out and wander, and I still have to leave after all. ”
After Zhang Xiaochen finished speaking, he got up, poured himself a glass of boiled water, and then sat back again.
"I've lived in this house for two years, and to be honest, I'm quite reluctant, if the supermarket recruits workers soon, when the time comes, I'll leave directly, maybe some furniture here or something, I'll have to trouble Aunt Xue to deal with it." ”
"The furniture is nothing, or if you don't dislike it, I'll give you some money, and I'll keep it for me to rent to the next one, or the small house will be empty, but maybe no one will live here anymore, and I'll find someone to help move it to another rental house when the time comes." ”
After Aunt Xue finished speaking, she took a deep puff of cigarette, then pulled out the trash can next to her, and skillfully flicked a flick of cigarette ash, Zhang Xiaochen was choked by the white smoke, and her face was a little unnatural, but she was embarrassed to say anything, but this also reminded her of Tang Xiaofeng, because this guy doesn't smoke.

"Tang Xiaofeng, I saw a lot of boys smoking, why haven't I seen you smoke?" Zhang Xiaochen asked on the side of the sofa holding the big yellow duck at that time.
"What's so good about smoking cigarettes, besides, there's no money, cheap ones choke your throat, it's not easy to smoke, expensive ones you can't afford, it should be said that you can't afford to play, and also, cigarettes are such a thing, it hurts your body, you'd better not touch this thing." Tang Xiaofeng played with his mobile phone, and responded to Zhang Xiaochen's question.
"That's right, I heard that most of the boys smoke to be cool, or to pretend to be forced at a young age. ”
"Not necessarily, everything depends on the situation. ”
"What do you think would happen if you smoked in the future?"
After Tang Xiaofeng heard this, he glanced at Zhang Xiaochen and said, "I don't know, let's talk about it then, maybe I won't smoke in my life." ”
————
"Xiaochen, then this house, you still plan to retreat, right?" Aunt Xue pulled Zhang Xiaochen's train of thought back to reality.
"Well, it's back, it's been confirmed, it's just, it's a few days later, when it's confirmed, I'll call you again, and I'll trouble you to make this trip." ”
"It's okay, since you've decided, then I'll go back first, the shop still needs to be taken care of. After Aunt Xue finished speaking, she got up, and Zhang Xiaochen also got up to send her out.
