Before Xia Fanxing returned to the dormitory, she received a call from her mother. "Xingxing, have you arrived at school? After you pack up, don't forget what your mother told you. Go visit your Aunt Lin's house. Your Aunt Lin is waiting for you to have dinner together at home."
Xia Fanxing slapped her forehead suddenly. She had forgotten what her mother had told her. Before she left, her mother had repeatedly told her to visit Aunt Lin's house so that she would have someone to take care of her when she was alone in City A.
"Mom, I've already packed and am about to go, don't worry!"
Xia Fanxing hurried back to the dormitory to take out the local specialties from her hometown that her mother had prepared, and went to Aunt Lin's house according to the address.
Xia Fanxing's impression of Aunt Lin came from her mother's photo album. Her mother said that Aunt Lin had held her in her arms when she was little, but unfortunately she no longer remembered it.
She only often heard about this person from her mother, and would receive gifts from Aunt Lin during the holidays. Aunt Lin's name was Lin Xijun. Aunt Lin and Mother Xia were good friends who grew up together, but Aunt Lin's family moved abroad when Xia Fanxing was three years old, and it was said that they only came back this year.
Their home is in City A, which is why I am visiting them now.
Xia Fanxing's mother had packed local specialties for her, but she definitely couldn't take the bus with all the bags, so she hailed a taxi. "Driver, please take me to Unit 1, Building 6, Lijing Community."
After Xia Fanxing arrived, she took the elevator directly to the 6th floor. The address her mother gave her was 602. Lin Xia pressed the doorbell twice and stood by the door waiting for it to open.
After a while, the door opened, and it turned out to be him.
"Hello, I'm looking for Aunt Lin Xijun Lin. Is this her home?"
Huo Simon made way for him and said, "Yes, come in first!"
Xia Fanxing came in carrying a gift, stopped at the door, looked at Huo Simon and asked: "Do you still need to change your shoes?"
Huo Sinannan closed the door and took out a pair of disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet. "You can just wear these."
As soon as Xia Fanxing walked in, she saw Aunt Lin coming out of the kitchen. Compared with Aunt Lin in her mother's photo album, she was more mature and charming, and you could tell at a glance that she paid great attention to maintenance.
Lin Xia quickly bent down and greeted her: "Hello, Aunt Lin, I'm Xia Fanxing, and this is a local specialty my mother asked me to bring you."
"The stars are here, hurry up and sit down and rest for a while, let Auntie Lin see them, they are getting more and more beautiful. Auntie is cooking, it will be ready soon, you can play in the living room first."
Before leaving, Aunt Lin arranged for Huo Sinan to treat Xia Fanxing well.
"Sinan, take good care of Fanxing. You young people have common topics to talk about. Let's chat for a while and then we'll have dinner."
Huo Simon nodded in agreement, then sat on the single sofa next to Xia Fanxing.
"Are you Aunt Tong's daughter, Xia Fanxing?"
Xia Fanxing had no impression of the man sitting next to her except that they met once at school.
"Well, have you seen me?"
Huo Sinan poured a glass of water for Xia Fanxing and handed it to her.
"It seems you have no impression of me at all. You were very young at that time, less than three years old. Later, my family went abroad, and I returned after graduating from university. I visited your home before, but you should have been in school at that time."
Xia Fanxing seemed to have some impression. One time, she was very happy to see her mother after returning home from school. Later, she heard her mother say that it seemed that Aunt Lin’s son had gone to their house.
"Oh, I think I heard Mom talk about it, but I really don't remember anything before I was three."
Huo Sinan thought of the time when he met Xia Fanxing in the afternoon and smiled.
"You've really changed a lot now. You were a crybaby when you were little, but I didn't expect you to be so brave now. I didn't even cry when I saw you this afternoon."
Lin Xia also thought about what happened in the afternoon.
"I'm already grown up, not a child anymore. How could I still be crying?"
Huo Simon didn't know what else to talk about. He had already said enough today. If it was someone he didn't know, he would never have said so much.
Huo Sinan still had some impression of Xia Fanxing. When they were young, their mothers would often get together and visit each other's homes. She had a very deep impression of this little girl, mainly because Xia Fanxing loved to cry so much.
Xia Fanxing cries at the slightest provocation. Every time she cries, Huo Sinan is helpless and always gets scolded by Huo's mother. Later, I heard that Aunt Tong sent the little girl to practice Taekwondo, but why does she still look so weak?
Xia Fanxing was not the type of person who was very outgoing, and she didn't know what to say for a moment, so the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Thanks to Lin Xijun in the kitchen who called the two of them to eat, the awkwardness was broken.
Lin Xijun picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Xia Fanxing, "Xingxing, I heard from your mother that you like sweet and sour pork ribs the most. Auntie made it especially for you today. Do you like it?"
"Thank you, Auntie Lin." Xia Fanxing took a bite of the ribs and looked at Lin Xijun and praised: "Auntie Lin, you are really good at cooking. It's delicious."
Lin Xijun smiled brightly when she heard the compliment and picked up a piece for Xia Fanxing. "If you like it, eat more. If you want to eat anything in the future, come to your aunt's house and I will make it for you."
"Thank you, Aunt Lin."
Lin Xijunjun liked the well-behaved girl in front of her more and more, and then looked at her son who was eating quietly beside her.
"well"
"Auntie Lin, what's wrong with you?" Xia Fanxing asked in confusion when she heard Lin Xijun sigh.
Huo Simon also looked at Lin Xijun in confusion.
"Auntie, it's okay. I was just thinking that if I had given birth to Si Nan two years later, or if you had been born two years earlier, things would have been better." Lin Xijun said with emotion.
"ah"
Huo Simon looked at his mother helplessly. He had guessed what his mother was thinking. "Mom, don't think about it. My birth is an established fact that cannot be changed. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Lin Xijun looked at her handsome son with a sad look on her face. "No matter how hard I think about it, it won't work. Your Aunt Tong and I had agreed that if we both had a boy or a girl, they would be siblings. If it was a boy and a girl, we would arrange a marriage. But the age difference between you two was so big that I didn't even have the nerve to mention it to your Aunt Tong."
After hearing this, Xia Fanxing didn't dare to say anything and just buried her head in eating.
Lin Xijun did not continue the topic. She just sighed for a moment. She felt embarrassed to let her son, an old cow, nibble on Xia Fanxing, a young tender grass. Six years is a generation gap between two people.
Lin Xijun has always liked girls. When she was young, she wanted to have another daughter, but for some reason she never got pregnant. After Xia Fanxing was born, she liked the soft and sweet little Fanxing very much.
After Lin Xijun went abroad, she often sent things to Xia Fanxing.
