Xue’s mother said that both of them were in good health and told her not to worry.

"Your father went to work early in the morning. It was very cold these days. Fortunately, the car drove slowly and got off the bus directly at the company, so he didn't have to be frozen. By the way, your father sent you two heaters more than half a month ago. Did you receive it?"

Xue Ling was stunned and couldn't help asking: "What kind of heater? No!"

Xue’s mother explained: “A while ago, your father’s old friend Uncle Gu went abroad and took a steamboat to travel. He bought a few hot air machines, and that thing is really good! As long as you plug in the power supply, it will generate a hot air, which can also become larger and smaller, making it easy to use!

Xue Ling smiled softly.

In this era, such heating machines were not popular in China, so people don’t even know how to say the name.

Xue’s mother didn’t know her daughter’s little thoughts and continued: “Old Gu gave us one. Your dad and I kept it in the bedroom and living room for heating. It was very comfortable to use. There was no need to be afraid of carbon stoves or something, and it was unsafe to use. Your dad thought that it was quite cold in the winter in Rongcheng, so he went to Lao Gu’s house to ask for two more and sent it to you.”

Xue Ling felt warm in her heart and whispered: "Thank you, parents..."

Although she has not been a parent yet, she can deeply understand the meaning of this sentence from her parents and parents and parents.

"What are you thanking!" Xue's mother angrily said, "Why are you polite to us! Your father didn't deliberately take advantage of Lao Gu. He gave his old man a big red envelope, thanking Lao Gu for his willingness to give up. Your father said, Chengjia Village should have powered on, remember to send one to the two in-laws so that they can have a warm winter in the future."

"Hey!" Xue Ling explained: "It's always snowing these days, and it probably hasn't arrived yet. The post office hasn't sent a flyer yet, so it should be soon."

Then, she told her mother about the next thing she would take her father-in-law Cheng Muhai to the provincial capital for surgery.

"The doctor said that the reason why he was always ill was probably because the wound was not properly treated. He had to undergo surgery before it worsened and put on prosthetic limbs."

When Mrs. Xue remembered the thrilling situation back then, her eyes quickly turned red and she choked up.

"There was only a small hospital in Rongcheng, which was similar to a small clinic. The medical care and other things were very backward. It would be great if you could handle it! Your father often cared about Lao Cheng's arm. Without him, he pushed your father away in time and saved your father, where is our family today? I didn't expect that after so many years, it would be great! When your father comes back, I will tell him immediately! He will definitely be very happy!"

Xue Ling sniffed and whispered: "The weather is clear. We plan to wait until the road is open, so we hurry up and pick up the old man here, and then take a bus to the First Hospital of the Provincial Capital for surgery."

...

The next day it was still sunny, and the snow on the road slowly melted.

During the lunch break, Xue Ling went to the only department store in the county to buy some sweaters and coats, a few for her mother-in-law and a few for her father-in-law.

That afternoon she received a flyer from the post office. When she saw the date, she sent it from the imperial capital in more than 20 days.

After get off work, Cheng Tianyuan came to pick her up and happily went to the post office to pick up two hot air fans.

The outer box of the packaging was a bit big, so Cheng Tianyuan could only push the bicycle away, and she pushed it from behind.

Despite the cold wind, both of them were happy and laughing.

When he returned to the rental house, Cheng Tianyuan unpacked the packaging box, took out a blower carefully, and looked at the operation carefully.

"My wife, they are all in English... I can't understand."

Xue Ling pulled off the scarf, hurriedly went to see it, and quickly plugged it into the socket.

"Here! This is on, this is off. This is warm wind, this is hot wind."

Xue Ling twisted it, and the wick inside lit up. A wind came out slowly, and soon turned into a warm wind rushing towards her face.

Cheng Tianyuan said "Wow!" and praised: "It's so amazing!"

Xue Ling understood the principle and explained to him that the big wick inside heated up quickly and would become hot as long as it was powered on. Other principles were the same as electric fans.

Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help asking: "That power consumption...is probably very large?"

Xue Ling knew his concept of saving and laughed softly: "We go to work during the day and stay at home at night. How much electricity can we use? It should be more expensive than buying charcoal!"

"It's really not safe to use charcoal." Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "In the future, if you do part-time jobs in the house, you will put it here and blow it all over your body, so you won't be afraid of the cold and rub your hands."

After speaking, he looked at her hand that was slightly red from cold with pain.

Xue Ling snuggled into his arms and whispered in a smirk: "You have taken care of all the housework and cooked hot water for me every day to wash my hands. My hands are ready!"

Cheng Tianyuan patted her back and said warmly: "I will take the other one apart and see if it is not damaged or something, then reinstall it."

"Okay." Xue Ling stood up and said, "I'll go down and boil water, you can do it!"

Cheng Tianyuan shouted behind him: "Don't go into the water, just put it in the pot and cook it. I'll go down to wash the rice later."

Xue Ling smiled softly, knowing that he couldn't bear to touch the cold water himself.

She quickly went downstairs and found that the sky outside was already dark, so she turned on the kitchen lights.

Then, she opened the valve of the honeycomb coal stove, unscrewed the faucet to get water, and then placed it on the stove.

At this moment, the sound of a door slap came from outside!

Xue Ling was stunned, opened the door, and looked out - he saw a fat man standing outside, wearing a suit, but with a little old-fashioned match, blowing cigarettes.

She walked down and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The fat man turned his face and stared at her with a stunning look, looking at her with a bold look.

Xue Ling was disgusted by his eyes and avoided him.

"Who are you looking for?"

The fat man came back to his senses, looked at the iron gate outside, and smiled and said, "I'm here to find my girl Ouyang Mei - is this address right?"

Xue Ling looked at his black teeth and felt so disgusting that she wanted to tremble.

"I found the wrong one! She is next door!"

She hurried back.

"Wait!" The fat man stared at her pretty face and swallowed his saliva secretly: "Girl, what's your name?"

Xue Ling ran into the house and closed the iron door with a "bang!"

The fat man laughed disgustedly and quickly went to the next door to knock on the door.

Xue Ling closed the door.

At this time, Cheng Tianyuan came down from the second floor and said warmly: "My wife, the packaging is very good and brand new! I took it out and tried it just now, and it was fine."

Xue Ling nodded, remembering the man's round black face just now, he couldn't help but feel familiar with him, and seemed to have seen it somewhere.

She responded absent-mindedly and explained what had just happened.

"It should be the 'Ouyang Xiang' you mentioned."

Cheng Tianyuan's face was slightly dark and he whispered: "Let's go in and out and say hello to neighbors. I don't like his way of doing things. Let's try not to have too much contact with their brother and sister."

Xue Ling nodded quickly when he thought of Ouyang Xiang's disgusting and ambiguous eyes.

"I wish I didn't contact you!"

Cheng Tianyuan turned around and went to cook.
