The doorbell rang, Li Huizhen hurriedly put down the soup in his hand, came to the door and opened the door.

Xu Ran bowed to Li Huizhen: "Aunt Huizhen, I'm here to bother again." ”

"Xiao Ran, don't be polite to Auntie, just come and help Auntie prepare some dishes and chopsticks, and the last soup, it will be fine soon!"

Li Huizhen beckoned Xu Ran in, and then turned around and went to the kitchen to work. Xu Ran followed into the kitchen, preparing dishes and chopsticks while squinting at the food on the table.

I don't know why, today's dinner tonight is extraordinarily rich, and he has been here many times before, but it is not as mouth-watering as this time.

After a while, the two of them were busy with their work, and they came to the table and sat down. Xu Ran's index finger moved, and he was not pretentious, and immediately began to eat a lot of food, and he ate instant noodles at noon, which was simply the difference between swill and delicacies compared to this meal at night.

Xu Ran saw that Li Huizhen was just looking at him quietly, and he didn't mean to move the chopsticks, so he hurriedly said while picking up rice: "Aunt Li, you can eat too." ”

Li Huizhen nodded, picked up the chopsticks and ate two bites of food at random, then put down the chopsticks again, looked at Xu Ran and asked, "Xiao Ran, how long have you been here?" ”

Xu Ran glanced at Li Huizhen suspiciously: "Why is Aunt Huizhen asking this?" I'll do the math, it should be almost half a year. ”

Li Huizhen let out an "oh", nodded, and asked as if inadvertently, "Then have you always been alone?" I mean, didn't your family come to see you? I don't think I've heard anything about your family. ”

Xu Ran has been living alone here for more than a month, and Li Hui really sees it. But at the same time, she was a little strange, Xu Ran moved in at the end of the semester at the end of last year, and at that time he seemed to be living smoothly, and he rarely even appeared in front of her.

And since Xu Ran's conditions are not good, how could she choose to live here, as far as she knows, the houses and rents here are not cheap.

"Uh..." Xu Ran pulled the corners of his mouth a little unnaturally after hearing this, put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Li Huizhen, not knowing where to start.

When Li Huizhen saw Xu Ran's appearance, she thought that there was something wrong in Xu Ran's family, and she said the wrong thing, poked at some of Xu Ran's private sore spots, and hurriedly said, "Did Auntie say the wrong thing?" Auntie just asked casually, it's aunt who is not good, don't be surprised. You eat, let's not talk about that. ”

Xu Ran hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's too late for me to be grateful to Aunt Huizhen, how can I blame Auntie." It's normal for aunties to be curious, my situation... It's a bit special, but since Aunt Hye-jin wants to know, it's okay to say it. ”

Xu Ran sorted out his thoughts, briefly introduced his own situation in organizational language, and when it came to his parents' tempering of himself, he was even more sincere and emotional, interspersed with two sentences of heartfelt gratitude to Li Huizhen from time to time, but it made Li Huizhen stunned.

Li Huizhen groaned: "Your parents are ruthless, if it were me, I guess I would be reluctant to treat my children like this." ”

"Yes, I think so too, such an enthusiastic person as Aunt Huizhen would never be able to do such a thing!" Xu Ran slapped a sycophant without a trace.

Just kidding, this is my long-term meal ticket, at least until there is no problem with my language, I still need to rely on Aunt Hye-jin, of course, I have to have a good relationship.

Li Huizhen was coaxed by Xu Ran and smiled: "Young poor mouth, your parents are also for your good, although I won't do this, I can understand their good intentions." ”

Sure enough, all the elders are like this.

Although there was some slander, Xu Ran was still sincerely grateful to Li Huizhen, and said seriously: "Aunt Huizhen, I didn't laugh, without Aunt Huizhen, I must be in a much more difficult situation now." ”

Li Huizhen sighed, and then asked, "What about recently, how are you doing?" ”

Xu Ran replied honestly: "Hmm... That's it, it's pretty much the same as before. Transferring halfway through college, because of many different classes, I was about to graduate, and now I have to start over from my junior year, and the academic pressure is not small. ”

"The main thing is the language, because of this, it is quite difficult in all aspects. I don't have any friends if I don't understand the language, and I don't have the opportunity to communicate and practice my language... It's barely enough to rely on the school's international student courses to read and write, but face-to-face communication is really difficult. ”

Li Huizhen asked: "Don't you have any financial resources at all?" ”

"I can't help it... According to the regulations, you have to come here for six months before you can apply for a part-time job, so you can't do a regular job for a fixed time for the time being. However, I would go out on weekends to try my luck, for example, in the afternoon I found a private job handing out flyers, and I made a lot of money in more than four hours, enough for me to eat two or three meals! Fortunately, the semester will be over in less than a month, and it will be half a year, so it should be better by then. ”

Thinking of this, Xu Ran had a headache again, his parents must not understand this regulation, which made him miserable.

If you can't get a scholarship this semester, the tuition fee for the next semester may be a little difficult, so you have to work harder to earn money in the summer! Is there anything like student loans here? Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

After Li Huizhen listened, he swallowed the words he was about to say back into his stomach, and sympathized more with Xu Ran, a junior, more than a month ago, because he lived here alone and was relatively idle, and it was not easy to see this young man, so he would change the law to help him in the name of inviting him to dinner, but he didn't expect his situation to be more difficult than he thought.

"Alas, Xiao Ran, don't worry, it'll get better." Lee Hye Jin comforted.

Xu Ran smiled, but looked very optimistic: "Don't worry Auntie, there are always more ways than difficulties." ”

"Why don't you wait for you to stabilize here, and Auntie will sponsor you for a while?" Li Huizhen tentatively proposed.

Xu Ran didn't expect Li Huizhen to be willing to give him such a big help, and his respect and gratitude for Li Huizhen couldn't help but go to the next level, and it was really touching to be able to help a junior who had been familiar with him for less than two months, but he shook his head after thinking about it, and didn't accept Li Hui's true kindness:

"Aunt Huizhen, thank you very much for your kindness, but please forgive me for not accepting it, how can I be embarrassed to let you break the bank. And in this way, it also goes against my parents' original intention of exercising me, but thank you very much! ”

"Xiao Ran, don't be embarrassed, Auntie still has some assets overseas, this money is nothing, you now..."

"Aunt Hye-jin, please don't say any more, I've already decided. A young man in his twenties will never starve to death, right? Xu Ran half-jokingly refused.
