Chapter 32: Uninvited Guest
The whole book.,The fastest update I want to accompany you day and night with the latest chapter!
The winter vacation of the third year of high school is very short, like ordinary office workers, only a short week of vacation during the Spring Festival, and then the beginning of school officially enters the countdown to the college entrance examination, Ning Chaoxi flipped through the desk calendar on the table, and found that there were only more than 100 days left before the college entrance examination after the start of school.
She looked at the time on the calendar, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised, there are still more than a hundred days, and there are still more than a hundred days for her and Chen Xun to be together openly!
Ning Chaoxi suddenly hoped that time would pass quickly, and hurry up and end this torturous college entrance examination.
During the Spring Festival holiday, Ning's mother did not allow her to go out, only allowed her to study at home, even if there were guests at home, she was not allowed to come out to welcome guests, just closed the door and honestly stayed in the room to write homework, this year's New Year, her cousin Shen Xi did not come to the house as a guest, it seems that her work over there is too busy, there are several days of overtime during the New Year, there is no time to come, plus Ning Chaoxi this year's college entrance examination, in order not to disturb her, Shen Xi only called her on Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, wishing her a happy New Year and academic success.
Ning Chaoxi likes this cousin very much, she herself is an only child, so she has been very envious of those who have older brothers and sisters since she was a child, and she also hopes to have a sister who loves her and can share her little secrets together, fortunately, Shen Xi fulfilled her dream, although she occasionally bullied her and teased her, but when she grew up, she was very good to her.
Recently, I heard that Shen Xi wanted to marry her boyfriend, but her parents disagreed, as if they thought that the man had no house or car, and was a poor boy who was poor and white, and was afraid that she would suffer and suffer from marrying, but her cousin seemed to insist on being with each other, regardless of it, she didn't even listen to her parents' words, and the two sides are still deadlocked over this matter.
On the third day of junior high school, Ning Chaoxi's aunt and uncle came and told her parents about it, she was studying in the room, Ning's father told her to go to the living room to eat fruit, she went out and heard the adults discussing Shen Xi's matter, and when she came out, her aunt caught her and said: "Let's go day and night, in the future, you can't be like your dead-eyed cousin, find a boyfriend who has nothing at home, don't listen to adults, in the end, it's yourself who works hard." ”
When Ning Chaoxi heard this, he felt a 'chuckle' in his heart, thinking of Chen Xun and the shoe shop he opened at home, and couldn't help but say: "Auntie, maybe the other party just has nothing for the time being, and it is possible to make a lot of money in the future and enjoy Sister Shen Xi." ”
Hearing this, my aunt immediately retorted to her: "Then when will it take to wait, God knows if he has the life to make a lot of money, if he can't make money in his life, then our family Shen Xi will have to work hard with him for a lifetime." ”
"I can't say that, the key is to see if the man is good to her, although money is very important, but the most important thing is the character and cultivation of the other party." Father Ning said.
"There is no money, these are empty words, can character and cultivation be eaten? When you get married in the future, if you don't have a house, it will be a problem for your children to go to school. "My aunt is a tendon to the end, and the views she agrees with are very realistic.
Father Ning obviously had a different idea from her, and if he continued to talk about it, he would have to quarrel, so he simply kept silent.
Mother Ning quite agreed with her aunt's point of view, she said: "What my little sister said makes sense, now it doesn't cost money to eat, drink, wear, live and travel, I work in the company every day, isn't it also to make this family live better, unlike some people, who are idle all day long." ”
As soon as she blurted out the words, Ning Chaoxi saw her father's face change, and then she heard her mother calling her: "Ning Chaoxi, hurry back to your room to do your homework after eating, what we talked about is still early for you, your top priority now is to prepare for the college entrance examination." ”
"Oh." Ning Chaoxi picked a grape and put it in her mouth, she didn't peel it, and as soon as she bit her teeth, the astringency of the grape skin immediately overflowed her mouth.
-
On the same day, Chen Xun's family opened a shoe shop to an uninvited guest, Chen Xun's parents booked a bus to visit his grandmother in the neighboring city on the first day of the new year, Chen Xun also wanted to go with him, but Chen's mother thought that he was going to start school in the eighth year of junior high school, and the third year of high school was heavy, so he wasted a lot of time back and forth, so he didn't let him go with him.
Chen Xun stayed alone in the shoe shop to watch the store, there were few people during the New Year, the shops on the whole street were closed, only Uncle Li and their store door were still open, Chen Xun leaned on the shelf behind him, sat on the bench, put his arm on a small table, spread out a white paper, he held a pen in his left hand, and was trying to draw the scene outside the door with his backhand, followed by, a man slowly appeared in his sight.
The man, who was about thirty or forty years old, with a horrific scar on his brow that greatly detracted from his handsome appearance, swaggered in a shabby jacket and a cigarette in his mouth.
Chen Xun stood up from his position, his eyes looked at the person calmly, the man walked up to him, half a head shorter than him, he reached out to take the cigarette in his mouth, and exhaled faintly, the unpleasant smell of tobacco instantly overflowed in the store, the man squinted and smiled: "Heh, you kid haven't seen him for seven or eight years, and he has grown so tall." ”
Chen Xun frowned slightly, his eyes slightly sunken: "Uncle." ”
The person who came was Chen Xun's uncle, Chen Shaorong, who was his father's four-year-old younger brother.
"It's good, it's so tall that I almost don't recognize it." Chen Shaorong opened his mouth angrily, his eyes wandered around the store, and asked casually, "What about my brother and sister-in-law?" ”
"Not there."
"Where did you go for the New Year, why did you stay home alone?"
Chen Xun didn't speak, his eyes kept paying attention to his movements.
"What are you doing looking at me like this, it's rare for my uncle to come to the house, can't you greet guests, go, pour me a cup of tea." Chen Shaorong waved at him.
Chen Xun didn't move, until Chen Shaorong's eyes turned again, he moved to the back of the shelf, took a bottle of mineral water from the box below and gave it to him: "Only water." ”
"Isn't your family so poor, don't you even have tea, I remember that my brother likes to drink tea very much, doesn't he have a collection of tea or something?"
"Nope." Chen Xun said coldly.
"Okay." Chen Shaorong shrugged his shoulders, he walked to the shelf, picked up a pair of hand-made men's leather shoes, and looked up and down, "Tsk, my brother's craft is really the same for ten years, and it is still so good, I think when I went to apply for the job, he made me a pair of leather shoes, and I wore them on my feet." ”
Listening to him rambling and not getting to the point, Chen Xun walked to the table and put away the paper he had drawn halfway through, and asked him expressionlessly, "What are you doing?" ”
Chen Shaorong snorted lightly, put the leather shoes in his hand on his feet to try them on, and kicked his tattered sneakers aside: "My brother has a lot of savings, and he still has spare money to open his own store, when will he bring you out of his hometown?" When I went back, I didn't see anyone, and I searched around for a long time to find this place. ”
"If it's okay, please leave."
Chen Shaorong put his shoes on, jumped in place twice, and it fit quite well, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Hey, you kid, do you talk to your elders like this, I have nothing to do with your parents to catch up, I haven't been in touch for so many years, and I haven't made a phone call." ”
"You're not welcome here." Chen Xun said.
When he was eleven years old, Chen Shaorong told his father that he was going to other provinces to find friends to partner in business, but he cheated Chen's father out of all the hard-earned money at that time, so that their family of three almost slept on the streets, with no money on them, and they couldn't even eat, but his uncle ignored them, and then left, and there was no news for so many years, and now he suddenly came back, Chen Xun intuitively felt that nothing good happened.
"Okay, it's okay if you want me to go, you are so big, you should go out to work, if you have any money, use it for your uncle to spend." Chen Shaorong patted him on the shoulder and finally cut to the chase.
Chen Xun avoided his touch and said coldly: "No." ”
"How can it not be, there is money in the store, I'll take it for a while and help me talk to your dad." As he spoke, Chen Shaorong walked towards the table in front of him, and he was about to open the drawer when he was stopped by Chen Xun.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Chen Shaorong said angrily.
"Are you owing money out there again?" Chen Xun asked him with a calm eyebrow.
"No, how can it be......" Chen Shaorong laughed twice in disguise, and when he met his nephew's deep eyes, he suddenly trembled, a little timid, "It's not a lot of ......"
"There's no money here, you can go."
"How can you have no money, Chen Xun, borrow a little money from your uncle, I don't have a penny on me now, and you don't want to watch me starve to death." Chen Shaorong was anxious, begged, and saw that he was indifferent, and sat on the chair with a dead face, "That's it, if you don't give me money, I'll stay here and not leave, and when your parents come back, I'll ask them for money." ”
Chen Xun looked at him playing a scoundrel and rubbed his eyebrows: "How much do you want." ”
Chen Shaorong listened to him relieved, and his eyes instantly lit up: "Not much, not much, just give me a thousand first." ”
Chen Xun narrowed his eyes, took out five hundred yuan from the schoolbag on the side and handed it to him, Chen Shaorong's face changed when he saw it: "So little? ”
"Don't forget it."
"Yes, yes!!" Chen Shaorong saw that he was going to put the money away, so he hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the money in his hand, looking like a money fan.
"You promise not to come back in the future, and I will give you the money." Chen Xun avoided his hand.
"Okay, okay, okay, you give me the money, I promise not to come again." Chen Shaorong saw that Qian was open-eyed, and agreed repeatedly.
Chen Xun gave him the money.
Chen Shaorong took the money points and smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you, boy, help me say hello to your parents, let's go." He put the money in his trouser pocket, walked to the front of the store, turned around and kicked his shoes on his feet, "I'm wearing them." ”
Chen Xun looked at his swaying figure, frowned, and suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart.
