Chapter 14: Xiaoxuan's Family
As soon as Li Zhen entered the door, he saw the grandfather and grandson sitting on the steps, and the two looked particularly quiet and warm under the light of the faint moonlight.
"Grandpa, may I ask," Li Zhen asked while frowning at this courtyard that surprised him, does Chen Xiaoxuan live here?
When Li Zhen saw this dilapidated and neat and orderly courtyard, he seemed to understand why Chen Xiaoxuan had been reluctant to let him come to her house...... Maybe it's because of low self-esteem...... In addition, she almost never takes the initiative to mention her parents, and the only relatives involved are her brother and grandfather, maybe her parents have gone out to work, or have left her......
Li Zhen's heart was suddenly clouded.
"Yes, are you looking for my sister?" Chen Xiaohui stood up and asked.
Li Zhen said: "Oh, no, I was entrusted by Xiaoxuan to report a letter, and your sister and I are classmates." Just now, when a few of our classmates were walking on the road together after school, a car rushed over, Xiaoxuan didn't pay attention for a while, she was wiped by the car, fell into the ditch on the side of the road, was injured a little, and there was some blood. ”
When the old man heard this, he immediately stood up and hurriedly asked, "Then how is she now? How is the driver? Is it okay? Is it okay?
"Don't worry!" Li Zhen hurriedly grabbed the old man's question and explained, "Because my aunt is a doctor, we saw that Xiaoxuan's injury was light or not, and she refused to go to the hospital, so we sent her to my aunt's house to see her first." However, Li Zhen also suddenly wondered, why did the old man's general questions focus on the so-called driver he made up?
When the old man heard this, he was barely relieved, and he asked again: "Then, where is the injury, is she still at your aunt's house now, young man?"
"Well, it's too late, so my aunt left Xiaoxuan behind and asked her to spend the night there before leaving, so that she could observe the situation. Li Zhen said, he lied and never made drafts.
"Oh...... Oh. The old man nodded, looked at Li Zhen, and stopped talking.
Li Zhen took out his mobile phone and said while operating: "Grandpa, I'll call my aunt and ask Xiaoxuan to report your safety, so you can rest assured and sleep well." ”
"Then I'm sorry for you, young man. A smile suddenly appeared on the old man's face.
Li Zhen clicked on Xu Yuanyuan's number in the phone book again and called.
"Hey, Li Zhen?" asked Xu Yuanyuan, picking up the phone.
Li Zhen said: "Well, it's me, Aunt Xu." Xiaoxuan's injuries are fine, right?"
"Although I can rest assured, I have never made a mistake, this kind of small injury just needs to be disinfected and disinfected, and the scab can be connected tomorrow, and it will never be seen again in three or two days. Looking at your nervous appearance, I thought something was wrong with this little girl!" Xu Yuanyuan said.
Li Zhen smiled embarrassedly: "After all, you have to be careful, the body is the capital." By the way, Aunt Xu, you let Xiaoxuan answer the phone, I'm at her house now, let her report to her grandfather that he is safe. ”
"Well, good. Xiaoxuan!" Xu Yuanyuan called out to Chen Xiaoxuan in the distance and handed her the phone, "Report safety to your grandfather." ”
"Huh?" Chen Xiaoxuan was stunned, did Li Zhen really find her home?
Chen Xiaoxuan was scared and nervous, on the one hand, she wanted Li Zhen to know something about her family, and on the other hand, she was afraid......
Chen Xiaoxuan had mixed feelings in her heart, and hesitantly took the phone.
Li Zhen's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaoxuan, I'm at your house, I'll give your phone to your grandfather in a while, and you can tell that grandpa is safe, so that he can rest assured." ”
Chen Xiaoxuan said softly: "Hmm......"
"Xiaoxuan?" the old man took the phone.
Chen Xiaoxuan showed a slight smile on her face, but she was a little nervous, and she hurriedly agreed: "Grandpa, it's me." ”
"You kid, you have to watch the car when you walk, it's not a long lesson!" the old man reprimanded softly, his face was unusually serious, as if Chen Xiaoxuan had made a big mistake.
Chen Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, and Li Zhen seemed to have chosen a not very good reason for her......
Chen Xiaoxuan said: "Well, there won't be any more in the future, grandpa, you can rest assured." ”
The old man sighed and said, "Yes, it's okay if you're okay, I'll be relieved like this, where are you now? Are you seriously injured? Is it still painful? I'll pick you up, right?"
Chen Xiaohui suddenly jumped up and shouted at the mobile phone in the old man's hand: "Sister is ashamed, and said that I want to walk and see the road!"
Chen Xiaoxuan sighed and suppressed the violent green muscles, this kid is really enough.
The old man pressed Chen Xiaohui down with a smile and scolded with a smile: "Be honest, grandpa still has something to tell your sister." ”
After speaking, he asked into the phone, "Xiaoxuan?"
Chen Xiaoxuan looked at Xu Yuanyuan and saw that she was peeling apples with a fruit knife, hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Grandpa, I'm fine now, don't worry." Also, I'm a little far from here, I won't go back tonight, you and Xiaohui go to bed early, don't be tired, Xiaohui has to go to school tomorrow. ”
"You, no, aren't you coming back?" the old man was stunned, this was the first time in Chen Xiaoxuan's life that he did not return at night, and the old man's heart was full of uneasiness.
"Xiaoxuan, give me your phone, and I'll talk to your grandfather. Xu Yuanyuan said to Chen Xiaoxuan.
Chen Xiaoxuan nodded and handed the phone to Xu Yuanyuan.
"Hello, old man, I'm Aunt Li Zhen. Xu Yuanyuan said into the phone.
The old man heard Xu Yuanyuan's voice, and his anxiety decreased slightly, and after listening to his words, he suddenly looked at Li Zhen and asked, "Young man, are you Li Zhen?"
Li Zhen was stunned, and at this time he remembered that he had forgotten to introduce himself just now......
"Well, yes, I'm Li Zhen. Li Zhen said, but at the same time, his heart was also drumming, Chen Xiaoxuan's grandfather's understanding of him should come from Chen Xiaoxuan, so how would Chen Xiaoxuan mention him in front of his family?
Chen Xiaohui's eyes widened, and he pointed at Li Zhen in surprise and shouted, "You are the Li Zhen who happened to pass my sister's exam every time!"
Chen Xiaohui shouted so loudly that even Chen Xiaoxuan on the other end of the phone heard it, Chen Xiaoxuan's eyebrows raised slightly, this kid is impatient?
"Forehead" Li Zhen was stunned, how long ago was this? Since the beginning ......of his sophomore year of high school, his studies have plummeted, and now his grades are just hovering in the middle of the stream, while Chen Xiaoxuan is still among the best, and even the leader.
"Oh! It's you! Xiaoxuan often talks about you at home. The worry in the old man's eyes dissipated in an instant.
Li Zhen was a little confused, this ...... How did Chen Xiaoxuan introduce him at home?
