Chapter 342 I don't want to do it

Chapter 342 I won’t do it

Next door to the grocery store, there is an aunt.

Chubby and optimistic.

She moved from the countryside, is a rural person, and has a primary school diploma.

In her early years, her husband passed away in a car accident.

She raised her son alone, sent him to school, and forcefully raised him to be a recommended student of Haicheng University.

My son is really motivated.

After graduating from college, he worked hard in Haicheng for more than ten years and had his own family and career. He then took his old mother to Haicheng and arranged a residence for her.

This is really a good inspirational story.

The aunt just moved to the grocery store next to Xu Cheng's house. She had nothing to do, so she opened a tailor shop.

When Xu Cheng was sitting in front of his store eating watermelon, he would occasionally chat with his neighbor's aunt.

Who doesn't like chatting with an ordinary and handsome old man?

From the aunt's mouth, Xu Cheng learned about her life.

"It's not easy." Xu Cheng sighed.

"Yes, it's not easy."

The aunt nodded.

"Two days ago, several young men came to interview me, saying they wanted to record my ordinary but somehow extraordinary life."

"You agreed?"

"I bought them two popsicles and let them stay cool wherever they go."

Auntie's mouth was full of oil as she ate the meat buns on the street corner.

"We are very lucky to be able to live the good life we ​​have today."

"I don't understand what they mean by ordinary or extraordinary."

"All I know is that I don't want anyone to live my life."

"Now that I think about it, I feel scared. I don't know how I endured those uncomfortable days."

"Promote me? Promote what?"

"I have endured it, and my son is doing well, but how many people in my village have not endured it? Why do you have to publicize me?"

After finishing the roujiamo, the aunt asked for a piece of watermelon from Xu Cheng.

"I am really lucky."

"I'm grateful for this life, which gives me the opportunity to sit here and eat watermelon with you."

The two elderly people enjoyed this rare and peaceful afternoon.

After eating the watermelon, the aunt patted her thigh.

"Okay, let's go!"

Xu Cheng asked: "Where are you going?"

"Go hiking and then find a nice restaurant to eat."

"Have an appointment?"

"Can't I go alone without an appointment?"

The aunt laughed and said: "Brother, I am getting older. I don't know when people will be gone. Of course I will try a bunch of messy things."

She patted Xu Cheng's shoulder.

"I haven't enjoyed it enough yet!"



This was not long ago.

She is indeed an aunt who is good at enjoying life, and she retains respect and gratitude in her heart.

For such a person, Xu Cheng certainly does not want her life to be disturbed by extraordinary powers.

According to the prediction of the little girl, the president, the possibility of riots breaking out in Haicheng within the next 24 hours is as high as 99.99%.

Infinitely close to 100%!

This is almost a doomed outcome.

Therefore, Xu Chengshun said that he hoped that the neighbor's aunt would go to the suburbs of Haicheng and it would be better to sign up for a two-day and one-night tour group.

But it's probably okay if I don't leave.

Who is the guardian of ordinary people in Haicheng?

Not Xu Cheng.

It's an eyewitness.

The witness organization has been maintained for many years and must have a complete set of emergency plans.

Even if the neighbor's aunt stays in Haicheng, nothing will happen to her.

Once something happens, it will probably be a major event that affects the entire Azure.

But what Xu Cheng didn't expect was that what was originally a casual comment made him discover some problems that puzzled him even more.

The neighbor's aunt replied:

"I won't go, because it doesn't make any sense."

This sentence left Xu Cheng stunned.

He was not in a hurry to close the door, but asked further:

"Why do you say that?"

"Because it makes no sense!"

The neighbor's aunt was also stunned, as if wondering why Xu Cheng asked so much.

Xu Cheng squinted his eyes and vaguely noticed something unusual about the neighbor's aunt in front of him.

He asked: "Sister, how is your son doing lately?"

“It’s all good.”

The neighbor's aunt nodded, but her face was not filled with the familiar smile that Xu Cheng was familiar with.

"The young couple have a good relationship, and I think I'm going to have a grandson."

The content of this sentence was enough to make people laugh non-stop with happiness, but the neighbor's aunt's attitude made Xu Cheng couldn't help but shudder.

It seems to be describing a cold fact without any emotion at all.

Xu Cheng couldn't help but have a guess in his mind.

Could it be that a scholar’s ​​characteristic ability can block someone’s “emotions”?

At first glance, this inference makes sense.

Whether it was the plant boy, the two floor-washing boys, or the neighbor's aunt in front of him, their attitudes were all "cold" beyond Xu Cheng's expectation.

It seems appropriate to use "blocking emotions" to explain this situation.

But if this is the case, there seems to be no way to explain why Xu Cheng heard a series of white ellipses in the voices of these people.

"Sister, don't you like to wander around a lot? You also like to play here and look at things."

Xu Cheng sat on the bench in front of the store, patted the bench and said casually:

"Do you remember this chair?"

"At that time, you felt that this chair was too old and had to be refurbished and painted."

“What do you know about renovating and painting?”

"So you go to the building materials market every day and research ways to renovate and paint the benches."

"After a month of hard work, I finally got it done. Even the building materials market thought you were a peer!"

The more Xu Cheng talked about it, the more interesting it became.

But when he finished speaking, his face suddenly darkened, and he stared at the neighbor's aunt not far away.

"Sister, do you still remember these?"

"Of course I remember. Why don't I remember what I did?"

The aunt looked very surprised at Xu Cheng's question.

"Just remember it, it'll be good."

Xu Cheng nodded repeatedly.

Then, he suddenly changed the topic, "Sister, I said, this bench has been here for so long and has been damaged by wind and rain. How about we renovate it together?"

After hearing this, the aunt actually thought about it seriously.

Finally, he shook his head.

"No, I won't do it."

"Why?"

"Because it makes no sense!"

Auntie's thinking is quite clear.

"Look, I'll settle an account for you."

"Why do you think you do this work?"

"This bench can still be used, or at the worst I can buy a new one."

"You think it's okay to save money, but if you hire someone to do it, it will be much more efficient than the two of us, and we can also save on material costs, so we can save even more money."

"Do you think it makes sense for us to work on our own?"

This is the crux of the matter.

Xu Cheng vaguely felt that he had discovered a certain pattern, but he couldn't describe it better yet.

What is certain is that Auntie still retains her own emotions.

What did she lose?

I got it.

A description suddenly flashed through Xu Cheng's mind——

The mentality of this neighbor's aunt...

It seems that he has become the kind of young people that are common in Haicheng nowadays.
