"This old Chen shouldn't really want to come over, right?"

After Zhao Xiaoya hung up the phone, she walked out of the cafeteria, thinking about how long Lao Chen would come over, and even had some expectations. In Toronto this season, the sun is just right and mild, if Lao Chen comes, be sure to take him to the lakeside barbecue in Ontario. Of course, after eating and drinking so many times here, I also have to hold a barbecue party and invite friends I know here to participate.

After picking up the bicycle at the school's bicycle parking place, Zhao Xiaoya rode her bicycle back to the rented house outside the school.

Zhao Xiaoya rents a small place, next to the University of Toronto's Scarborough campus, not far from the western section of Lawrence Avenue.

Probably because it's cheaper. Many international students rent here. In order to meet the needs of students, some farmers have successively leveled their farms and built small houses to rent to students. In addition, the scenery on this side is very good, the streets are very clean, the most trees are maples, the style of the whole town, similar to a farm pastoral, not far away is the lake park, and the paradise is nothing more than that.

The house rented by Zhao Xiaoya is a one-bedroom, one-bedroom, one-kitchen, one-bathroom single room, with a roof made of red shirt wood, and the walls are made of red stones, more like a mushroom growing in the wild. And it's not very expensive, according to the conversion of domestic Chinese currency, only 100 yuan a month, of course, this may be a kind neighbor aunt and landlord, who doesn't want to make money on international students, renting a house for these international students, just as a companion, it is said that some students do not pay rent for several months, and the aunt will not drive them away.

Thinking of her aunt, Zhao Xiaoya thought of the Chinese specialties she brought last time, and she didn't know if she had finished eating, if Lao Chen wanted to come over, she would simply ask Lao Chen to bring a few more bottles.

Zhao Xiaoya actually likes her neighbor Aunt Chu, in her opinion, the young, noble, graceful, and very tasteful Aunt Chu is simply the most perfect woman in her mind, but the fly in the ointment is that the aunt is actually quite lonely, she bought the most expensive land in the town outside the University of Toronto alone, and was the most leisurely farmer, but she couldn't see that she had a husband and children to live with her, although every time she asked, she would tell others that her husband and children were in China, but they had never seen it, which couldn't help but make people feel regretful.

Riding through a distance of only 50 meters from where my aunt lived, I could see a slightly larger townhouse of mushrooms with a North American style enclosed by a fence. My aunt has been here for a few years, and she is also Zhao Xiaoya's landlord, she bought this farm, and then built a lot of such distinctive mushrooms to rent to international students, and the price is not high, so many international students like her very much.

Of course, this area is only rented to Chinese students, and it is difficult for international students from other countries to rent, when Zhao Xiaoya rented here, it was introduced by a senior sister, probably because her aunt is also Chinese, so she takes more care of the Chinese.

In the afternoon, I went to church with my aunt to listen to the pastor's lectures. After Zhao Xiaoya came back, she hurriedly changed into a plain dress that was more suitable for going to church, and then watered the green plants she raised on the windowsill once, and went out.

After walking two steps to her aunt's house, Zhao Xiaoya was familiar with the road, and after entering the fenced yard, Zhao Xiaoya shouted in the courtyard: "Aunt Chu, we can go." ”

That's what she is. Every time I come, I shout at people.

After a while, in this row of mushroom houses, the neighbor's aunt came out, she was wearing a plain black dress, which was a special costume for going to the church to listen to classes, and the aunt who went to the church every week was now a quasi-believer.

Zhao Xiaoya saw that she was always noble, like a dignified and noble aunt, subtle and noble. She was used to talking to her aunt affectionately, so she naturally said it sweetly. "Auntie is so beautiful today. ”

Auntie smiled: "Today is a special day, naturally I have to dress more beautifully, and when I get to the church later, after listening to the class, I still want to stay and pray for a while." ”

Zhao Xiaoya knew as soon as she heard that today was indeed very important for Aunt Chu, and she didn't know what Auntie's so-called special day meant, so she asked her: "Auntie's so-called special day, I'm very curious." ”

Auntie's sorrow flashed, and she still smiled: "Because today is my child's birthday." I want to wish them healthy growth" At the same time, I want to say that today is also the day when she and her children are separated, but she just hides her words.

Zhao Xiaoya stopped talking. Auntie's child's birthday, but her children didn't come to see her, it's really unfilial. He said, "When Auntie prays, I'll stay with you." ”

The aunt said, "What an empathetic girl. I told you a few times ago that I introduced my son to you, how did you think about it?"

Chatting and chatting, the style of painting changed, and Zhao Xiaoya was still a little shy. However, she didn't promise to see her aunt's son before, and now it's even more impossible, besides, her aunt's son doesn't come to see her, this kind of person has no filial piety at all, and is not suitable for being a husband, Zhao Xiaoya also immediately changed the topic, pulled this matter over, and said: "By the way, Auntie, did you finish eating the chili sauce I brought you last time?" If you finish eating, my friend may come from Huaxia, I asked him to bring more, anyway, he has a lot of strength." ”

When the aunt saw Zhao Xiaoya say this, she was smiling, as if she was very happy, so she guessed that her friend should be a boy, and asked: "Your friend, the other party is a boy, right?" smiled and smiled, meaning that I understood, and said, "I also said that I introduced my son to you, it seems that there is no way, I can only blame that kid for not having this blessing." ”

Zhao Xiaoya didn't speak, she didn't know if she was blushing, in front of the neighbor's aunt, she felt more like a mother and daughter. Unconsciously I was a conscienceless guy again, and I actually forgot all the mothers in the family.

"Auntie, don't make fun of me, I don't have that blessing myself. Zhao Xiaoya said very happily, "Auntie, you haven't told me yet, have you finished eating your chili sauce." ”

Last time, Zhao Xiaoya returned to China and brought her two cans of Lu Chuanwen water's chili sauce, which she hadn't eaten for twenty years, and she was a little reluctant to keep it in the refrigerator, but it was also an idea to be able to have two more bottles, after all, it was something from the most familiar place, and there was a good saying, in a foreign country, even a handful of soil in her hometown felt kind. The aunt said, "If your boyfriend is not afraid of trouble, you can bring me two more cans." ”

Zhao Xiaoya grinned: "Then let's go to the church." ”

As he spoke, he actually held his aunt's hand.

Auntie is in a bad mood today, and Zhao Xiaoya feels that she needs to make her feel warmer.

There are a lot of churches in this town, and there is one not far from where they live.

The neighbor's aunt was held by Zhao Xiaoya, and the two walked in the sunshine of the town, like a mother and daughter who came out for a walk.

After walking for a while, the aunt probably didn't give up, and asked again: "Xiaoya, I really don't think about my aunt's son." ”

Zhao Xiaoya said: "Don't think about it, don't think about it." I've never seen it. ”

The aunt said: "My son is tall and handsome, although he is a little younger than you, but he should be very pleasing to girls." ”

Zhao Xiaoya said: "Tall and handsome, Auntie, you're still worried that he won't find a girlfriend." Rest assured...... Maybe your son doesn't like me. ”

The aunt suddenly said in a low voice: "Yes, if you are tall and handsome, how can you not find a girl." But I don't know what he looks like....."

Zhao Xiaoya: ......??"Auntie, isn't he your son?

The aunt said, "We have been separated for 20 years, and we have ......."

Zhao Xiaoya felt that this was a sad story, and took her aunt's hand and said, "It's okay, auntie, I can't be your daughter-in-law, I can still be your daughter....."

Thinking of this, the aunt's heart is in a mess, and her daughter....It seems that she has been separated for 20 years.

I don't know what these two siblings look like, and whether they have been bullied since they were young.

The daughter is not worried, after all, she has always been in Yuquan Mountain. As for his son, his father is careless, and he doesn't know if he will become a bad boy......

It is said that a motherless child is like a grass...... Her heart hurts.
