520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

Although they couldn't communicate, Lin Yunchu, who could still understand Lele's expression through her eyes, put her down awkwardly and smoothed her messed-up hair.

"Alright, alright, I won't disturb your sleep. You're so fierce."

He muttered and complained weakly, but Lin Yunchu's touch was still as gentle as ever.

Lele, who was feeling comfortable being stroked, seemed to have forgotten Lin Yunchu's harassment just now. A gurgling sound of a motor came from her throat. After Lin Yunchu let go, she was still not satisfied and pulled her fingers to touch herself.

Looking at Lele's cute little appearance of acting coquettishly and rubbing against her fingers, Lin Yunchu had no temper and doted on Lele, tapping her little nose: "You——"

On the other hand, on the same wonderful morning, the call Xiang Huanian received was not so wonderful.

Three hours ago.

At 6 o'clock before dawn.

Xiang Huanian placed his cell phone neatly on the bedside table, and it began to vibrate.

At first, Xiang Huanian was sleeping soundly and didn't hear the vibration of his phone at all, but the caller was obviously persistent. After the third call lasting one minute, Xiang Huanian finally woke up from his sleep.

“Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~~~~”

In his half-asleep and half-awake consciousness, the annoying noises in his dream were like the resentment of the renovation work starting upstairs in the middle of the night. Xiang Huanian was depressed and woken up by the noise.

In the early morning, all the sounds that wake people up from their sweet dreams, the first thing people do when they wake up is often to check the current time.

"I'll go at six."

Just as Xiang Huanian was wondering who would be so rude to call her at six in the morning when most creatures were still soundly asleep.

Then, Xiang Huanian saw the three big words "Chen Aifang" on the caller ID.

There was no note of "Mom" or any other intimate note, just the unfamiliar "Chen Aifang". Not only Chen Aifang, but also Chen Dejie, Xiang Aiguo, and all the contacts in Xiang Huanian's mobile phone were marked with other people's full names.

It's not a display of emotion or bias, but Xiang Huanian saw it somewhere and at some point, saying that if the phone is accidentally lost, it will not be cracked by a premeditated thief, nor will it be used by someone with ulterior motives to kidnap relatives and defraud them of their money.

Xiang Huanian stared at the screen that kept lighting up, feeling a little hesitant.

To be honest, if possible, Xiang Huanian didn't really want to answer the call.

But it's so early in the morning, I'm afraid something might happen...

"……Hey?"

"Really? You're sleeping like a pig! I called you three times before you answered. Hurry up and get up! It's already 6 o'clock. Do you usually sleep in very late when you work?"

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Nian Nian, but since you're working in someone else's house, you can't be too lazy. You have to do the work they assign you well, and even if they don't ask you to do something, you have to clean it up even if it looks dirty..."

"Then, when your employer is at home, you should work under her supervision. Don't pretend to be busy, but make people feel that you are always working. Don't let people think that you have nothing to do..."

"You have to maintain good relationships with others. You have to meet any requests they make. Even if they make unreasonable requests, you have to be polite and responsive..."

"Don't always talk to me like that. If you say one thing, you'll have three things to say back. I'm your mother, so I'll be considerate and forgive you. Others have nothing to do with you, so who would forgive you..."

Xiang Huanian did not refute or explain that he no longer lived in the home of his employer, Lin Yunchu, and did not need to do the extra work that Chen Aifang mentioned.

Rather, in Chen Aifang's eyes, she was indecent, unruly, and fickle, and had lived under the same roof with two adult men for more than just one day.

But Xiang Huanian didn't need to explain all of this to Chen Aifang one by one.

Xiang Huanian felt that he was still somewhat rebellious in his bones.

Especially when facing Chen Aifang's output of ideas, and wanting to turn Xiang Huanian into Chen Aifang, and being disciplined by the so-called "female ring" to become a well-behaved, considerate, gentle and virtuous wife and mother.

Faced with Chen Aifang's long and endless list of suffocating teachings, when he was in school, when the teachers kept pouring in the big principles, and during his internship, when he was constantly brainwashed by unscrupulous capitalists, who painted big pictures and spoke empty words, wanting the horse to run but not giving it grass to eat, Xiang Huanian, who had trained himself to be able to listen to everything, gradually felt sleepy in Chen Aifang's chanting-like words.

However, it was impossible for Xiang Huanian to really fall asleep. If he was discovered by Chen Aifang, she would probably keep nagging him in the future.

Therefore, before falling back into sleep, Xiang Huanian interrupted Chen Aifang's chanting:

"Mom, what's the matter with you calling?"

The words were suddenly interrupted, and Chen Aifang's train of thought was also interrupted. On the phone, Chen Aifang's voice paused for a moment, and then sounded again:

"... Seriously, you're so impatient right now. I'm just reminding you with good intentions, trying to impart valuable life experience to you, but why don't you listen? You're so clueless. Anyway, let's get down to business. Come back on Saturday or Sunday, any day you're free, and we can have dinner together. Your dad and I haven't seen you in a while."

Chinese people are introverted and reserved by nature.

Different from the simple and direct expressions of "I like you", "I love you", "I miss you", etc. in foreign countries, Chinese people prefer to use more euphemistic words and not be too straightforward.

Among them, the Chinese people's "I want to see you" is roughly changed to "Would you like to come out for dinner?" or "Would you like to come back for dinner?"

As children, it is probably natural that we cannot resist when our parents openly say “It’s been a while since we last saw you”, which is equivalent to “We miss you”.

As a son, if I refuse such an invitation to "go home for dinner", I'm afraid I will feel guilty...

After hesitating for a while, Xiang Huanian still hadn't made up his mind. Over there, Chen Aifang continued to output:

"It's fine if you didn't come to pick me up at the airport, but you wouldn't even come back for a meal, would you? How did I offend you... This kid's temper is getting weirder and weirder as he grows up..."

Chen Aifang was muttering softly in the back, probably complaining to Xiang Aiguo next to her, but the electric current passed through the receiver and reached Xiang Huanian's ears clearly.

True and false, good and bad.

The original family will always be pushed to the bottom of hell the moment the victim feels that the relationship is getting better.

A blow to the head.

Originally, Xiang Huanian could have used work as an excuse to shirk responsibility, but Chen Aifang's words blocked all of Xiang Huanian's escape routes. Helplessly, Xiang Huanian could only agree:

"Okay, I get it, Mom. I'll tell you when I get some leave. That's it. I need to get up and go to work. Bye."

It just so happened that she also had something at home and wanted to get it.
