"Recently, she was angry with me because of some things. But I didn't expect that she wouldn't even go to school." On the other end of the phone, Chen Xu's third uncle said in a helpless tone, "I've already bought the ticket for tomorrow morning. The soonest, I won’t be able to go back until tomorrow afternoon. Chen Xu, I have to trouble you.”
"No trouble." Chen Xu heard that he didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask too much.
After hanging up the phone, he called Secretary Guo to ask for leave. Fortunately, today's tasks are almost completed, there is only one store left, which can be postponed until tomorrow.
After asking for leave, he called a car online and went to his third uncle's house.
His third uncle's house is in the same city, but in different districts, quite far away, and it took more than two hours to get there by car.
It was a rather old community. It was originally a teacher's apartment. Later, the teachers who lived here sold their houses one after another and moved outside. The staff became much more complicated.
His third uncle bought a house here many years ago, and he has been here many times. During festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, his third uncle would ask him to come and have a meal together.
When he just graduated from university, his third uncle suggested that he live here and find a job nearby, but he declined.
Firstly, he didn't want to depend on others, and secondly, third uncle's daughter was not easy to get along with.
His third uncle is generous, and the relationship between the two families is very good. When something happened to his family, the third uncle paid the most money, and he emphasized that there is no need to rush to pay it back.
I remember that when he was just in college, he would come to live every weekend, and the third uncle would prepare delicious food for him every time, and he was very kind to him.
Until one weekend before the winter vacation, he overheard his cousin talking on the phone with someone, and heard a sentence, "Someone came to eat and drink at home..."
Since then, he has rarely come. The third uncle still often called him over, but he just said he was busy.
Only during festivals and uncle's birthday, would he come over for a meal. They all left after eating, and did not spend the night here again.
That was already five or six years ago. At that time, my third uncle's daughter was only in the fourth and fifth grades. Now, she is already in the third grade.
While Chen Xu was thinking, he had already arrived at the door of the third uncle's house, and took out the key to open the door. The door was not locked, and it opened with a twist.
"Chen Ziqi."
He yelled as he entered the door.
boom.
The door of a room slammed shut, and he saw a red shadow.
Sure enough, at home.
He breathed a sigh of relief, took out his mobile phone, called the third uncle, and said, "She is at home. As soon as I entered the room, she locked the door. Okay, I will tell her well. OK , let’s do this first.”
After hanging up the phone, he walked to the door and said, "Open the door."
In the room, Chen Ziqi screamed, "Chen Xu, it's none of your business, go away."
Chen Xu scratched his head a little. Fourteen or fifteen year old rebellious girls are the most difficult to deal with. If it wasn't for the sake of third uncle, he wouldn't bother.
"I don't have time to spend here with you." He said, "Your dad just said, as long as you don't let you leave the house, if you don't open the door, I will nail the door of your room. Go to work, anyway Your dad will be back tomorrow."
"Humph."
In the room, there was a cold snort, expressing disdain.
Chen Xu thought, I still can't cure you
I went downstairs to the nearest hardware store and bought some lock plates. When I came back, I found the toolbox, took out the hammer, walked to the door of the room, and smashed it.
"Chen Xu! Are you crazy?"
When Chen Ziqi heard the movement, she opened the door and saw that he was really holding a hammer to seal the door. She was shocked and angry, looked at the door frame distressedly, and said angrily, "Look, you smashed my door frame! .”
"I warned you."
Chen Xu put the hammer back into the toolbox, pushed the door open, and walked in.
"Hey, what are you doing, don't come in." Chen Ziqi wanted to push him, but with her small body, she couldn't push him at all.
After Chen Xu entered the room, he scanned every possible place where people could be hiding, and finally he was completely relieved. If there is an extra man in the room, it will be a big deal.
Chen Ziqi couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled loudly, "Chen Xu! You are enough. This is my home, why do you come in?"
"Chen Ziqi."
Chen Xu turned to look at her, and said, "You think I want to control you? Do you know that, in order to find you, I asked for leave for the first time in the two years since I went to work, and this month's bonus has lost half, and the year-end bonus will also be less A big piece. If it weren't for you, how could I have such a loss. "
"So what, your family still owes my dad money..."
Chen Xu interrupted her, "It's your father's money, not yours."
"I...I..." Chen Ziqi was so angry that her eyes were red, "When my dad comes back, I'll tell him that you bullied me."
Chen Xu didn't care, "Just go ahead and tell, and see who he will believe."
After finishing speaking, he ignored her and walked to the desk. He saw that it was a book of math exercises with a pen in the middle. When he opened it, he found that he had just written half of a question, and it was obvious that he was still working on it just now.
"Don't touch my stuff."
Chen Ziqi stepped forward and snatched the exercises, glared at him, and put them back on the bookshelf.
Chen Xu knew that, at least in terms of momentum, he had suppressed her, and asked about something serious, "Tell me, what happened, why didn't you go to school?"
After entering junior high school, Chen Ziqi began to live in school, and only went home on weekends. Today is Wednesday, and she didn't go to school. The teacher immediately called to inform the parents.
Chen Ziqi sat in her seat, picked up a book, and stood in front of her, ignoring him.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, anyway, your dad will come back tomorrow, and he will naturally take care of you when the time comes." Chen Xu said intentionally.
Sure enough, she reacted immediately, put down the book in her hand, and said angrily, "How dare he? I haven't dealt with him yet."
Hearing this, Chen Xu couldn't help shaking his head in his heart. The third uncle spoiled this daughter so much.
"How do you say it? That's your father."
Chen Ziqi's voice suddenly rose an octave, "I don't have a father like him, and he actually takes care of women outside behind my back."
When Chen Xu heard this, he understood what was going on, and said with a smile, "Look at what you said, your father has been divorced for many years, and it's normal to find another one. As for making it so ugly."
"what do you know?"
With red eyes, Chen Ziqi screamed, "That woman is only a few years older than me, and she's still in college."
Chen Xu was shocked by the news, but he thought it was unlikely, and said, "Impossible, your father is not like that."
"Why not? He has admitted it himself." Chen Ziqi said, crying aggrievedly, "Even if you look for someone, you can't look for that woman. Anyway, I don't agree."
