To admit it or not to admit it, that was the question.
Compared to him wearing women's clothes, it should not be too strange that a girl suddenly appeared in the house … right?
Seeing Xu Wenbin's face darkened, Xu Qing's thoughts turned quickly.
He could hide it for a while, but he couldn't hide it forever. If his father met Aunt Cheng outside and casually said a few words, those big mouths would definitely reveal the fact that there was a girl in the house.
"My friend's!"
"… Oh?" Xu Wenbin obviously didn't believe it and waited for him to continue to explain with a sullen face.
"It's a long story. I have a friend, um … his sister, yes, my friend's sister. She will stay here for a few days — Jiang He, open the door."
Xu Qing said as he came to the door of the utility room. He raised his hand and knocked on the door twice. He was still thinking about how to make it sound.
Creak.
The door opened, and Jiang He appeared at the door. Seeing Xu Qing winking at her, she was a little confused.
"This is my dad … Dad, her name is Jiang He."
Xu Qing forced himself to introduce her, only hoping that Jiang He would not show any abnormality.
"B …" Jiang He said, but suddenly stopped and turned to ask Xu Qing in a low voice, "What should I call her?"
"…"
Xu Wenbin, who was stunned, had just calmed down, but now his expression became complicated again. He looked at Xu Qing without saying a word.
Just now, this girl wanted to call him dad, right?!
It was definitely true!
Xu Wenbin, who was over 40 years old, suddenly wondered if he went out in the wrong way today. How could such a strange thing happen?
"Ahem … Call me uncle!" Xu Qing coughed lightly, pretending not to see his father's eyes.
"Hello, uncle."
"Hello, hello."
Xu Wenbin restrained his expression and responded as if nothing had happened.
"Anyway … That's about it. She will stay here for a while." Xu Qing didn't say what it was like. Anyway, he just wanted to fool him.
"Um." Jiang He nodded.
"Um, come here, come here for a moment." Xu Wenbin pulled Xu Qing into the bedroom. When he turned around, he saw Jiang He's expression. "Jiang He? Don't worry about it. "
Closing the door, he turned around and stared at Xu Qing, his expression darkening again.
"What happened?!"
"That's what happened. A friend came over to stay … Don't come over for no reason and scare the girl. Give me the spare key too. She can use it for now and I'll return it to you after she leaves."
Xu Qing confidently stretched out his hand to ask for the key. He had to get it. Otherwise, when he was not around, whether it was his old man or his mother who came over and bumped into Jiang He alone at home, it was very likely to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Your girlfriend." Xu Wenbin stared at him.
"No."
"She almost called me dad."
"…" Xu Qing scratched his head. "You're mistaken."
Xu Wenbin stared at him for a moment and changed the topic. "How old is she?"
"Eighteen."
"…"
"…"
"Sinful …"
"What do you mean sinful?" Xu Qing felt a headache coming on. "I'm just here to stay for a while. Even if we're friends, it's perfectly reasonable. What's wrong with that?" "That's right.
Xu Wenbin smacked his lips and did not know what to say.
He came to urge his son to pay the rent and find a job, but the result was a girl who almost called him dad?
He felt a little complicated.
"You don't even have a job."
"It's fine as long as I can make money. Why do I need a job? This is the information age, you … Tsk, I'll transfer the money to you now. Keep the rent and leave the key. "
Xu Qing was too lazy to argue for the umpteenth time. He could not explain to his father that being a uploader was also a job — even if he did, his father would continue to argue that he did not have insurance, pension, or social security.
"How much is the utility bill?"
"238."
Ignoring his father's hesitation, Xu Qing completed the transfer and showed his father his mobile phone. "Okay, give me the key. I've never heard of landlords keeping a spare key to go in and out at any time."
"My house!"
"I'm renting it."
"…"
Xu Wenbin gave him a stare and took out the spare key. "Remember to transfer the money on time. Don't make me urge you every time."
"I didn't write the number of the contract. I'll just transfer it to you when I remember."
Xu Qing gave a perfunctory reply.
The house was his, and he still had to rent it.
Not only did he have to rent it, but it was also more expensive than the same apartment in the same building.
In Xu Wenbin's words: If you find a job, you can stay there. If you don't, you have to pay the rent every month. Not only you have to pay, but you have to pay more than others.
Xu Qing asked why they had to raise the price. They might as well rent someone else's house. Xu Wenbin agreed.
Xu Qing thought for a while. Ha!
His father was playing a game with him. Renting his own house was more expensive, but sooner or later, the money and the house would belong to him. If he rented someone else's house, then the money would belong to him.
"Where's my mom? Did she go for a field trip again? "
"No, she's playing mahjong at home." Xu Wenbin took out his mobile phone. "She asked you to go back for dinner. You …"
Halfway through his sentence, he looked out of the door and wondered if he should tell Xu Qing's mom about this.
"Not free now. Wait until I'm free." Xu Qing knew what he was thinking. "She's just a friend, not a girlfriend."
"Humph, do you think your father is an idiot?"
Xu Wenbin's face was gloomy. He paused for a while and pretended to be casual. "Be careful."
"Be careful of the ghost! We're friends! "
Xu Qing turned around and opened the door helplessly. "Is there anything else? If there's nothing else, go back. I'm working here. "
"It's not that I want to nag, but you're still young. It's easy for problems to arise if you talk too early. You'll end up like that Zhu …"
"Dad." Xu Qing interrupted.
"… Forget it. Let's not talk about the past. Hurry up and find a job. Go to work. "
Xu Wenbin stood up and looked outside. There was no one in the living room. Jiang He had returned to his room, so he walked out.
His son had an 18-year-old girlfriend. He didn't need to care, but it was a bit too much to bring her to live at home. He wanted to care, but he felt conflicted. It was normal for a child to fall in love … He had to go back and discuss with Xu Qing's mom.
The two of them went out of the room together. Xu Qing was about to send his father out when he suddenly remembered something.
"Wait … Dad, come in first."
He pulled his father back and closed the door. He turned back and searched the bedside table.
"What?" Xu Wenbin was puzzled.
"Look at this."
Xu Qing took out a pair of worn-out straw sandals and put them in front of Xu Wenbin mysteriously. "Take a look. This is an antique from the Tang Dynasty. How much can it be sold for?"
His father was an archaeologist. He was good at it. He was right to ask him.
"Which dynasty did you say this antique is from?" Xu Wenbin glanced at the straw sandals and dug his ear with his little finger. He suspected that he had heard wrong.
"Tang Dynasty. It should be from the time of Li Longji." Xu Qing swore that if this thing could be sold for money, he would make a fortune. Identity cards … could be sold for money.
Seeing his father's strange look, Xu Qing was a little excited. "Look, is it valuable?"
"Go to Nanshan Second Hospital for a mental evaluation."
Xu Wenbin looked at him with a complicated look.
He didn't know if it was too late to have a second child.
