"Forget it, let the children solve their own problems. Maybe my original approach won't work anymore." Dad Xia said with a smile.
"You are the only one with many tricks!" Xia's mother next to her gave Xia's father a charming look.
He looked at Ling Jie next to him inexplicably, but since these were his parents, he wouldn't say anything and just giggled along with Xia's father.
"Ling Jie, tell me how our family's childlike innocence is." Xia's mother gently patted Xia's father's head to tell him to stop laughing, and looked at Ling Jie and asked.
"Childlike heart? Childlike heart is very good, she is a good girl." Ling Jie thought for a while and said.
"Well, what do you think of our family's childishness?" Xia's mother asked while smiling, looking forward to Ling Jie's answer. Judging from Ling Jie's every move and what Xia's father told him just now, Ling Jie
It was impossible not to be uninterested in her own daughter. Xia's mother simply made the matter clear. It was worthwhile to accept such a son-in-law.
At the same time, looking forward to Ling Jie's answer, Xia Tongxin was standing outside the door with a plate of dishes. Xia Tongxin had been standing outside the door since just now, so she also heard Xia's mother's question to Ling Jie.
Everyone was trembling a little. Xia Tongxin was definitely looking forward to Ling Jie's answer more than anyone else.
"She has a good childlike innocence, she is quite cute, and she is a very well-behaved girl. But this is all thanks to you, Mom. You must have been very beautiful when you were young," Ling Jie said with a smile.
"It goes without saying that, fortunately, the childlike innocence looks like me. It would be very difficult if he looked like his father~" Xia's mother snorted at Xia's father.
"Hey, mom, what do you mean by this? If it weren't for my excellent genes, how could a childlike heart be like this? You can't give birth to a child by yourself, and it's not because of my great kung fu." Xia's father was not happy to hear what Xia's mother said.
, immediately retorted.
"Oh! You bastard! You are really shameless when you say some unreasonable things in front of your children." Xia's mother grabbed Xia's father's ears and said angrily.
In fact, according to the aesthetic standards of that era, Xia Tongxin's father was indeed a handsome man, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a Chinese-character face. If Xia Tongxin dressed up, he would definitely be considered the number one beauty.
Xia Tongxin outside the door smiled with two cute dimples on her face. When she heard Ling Jie say she was beautiful, she felt very happy and touched her cheek shyly.
"I'm going to see if my child's innocence is okay first, and why it took so long to heat up the two dishes." After Xia's father said that, he walked out of the house.
Upon hearing this, Xia Tongxin hurriedly carried the plate and walked into the house, and happened to run into Xia's father who had just come out.
"Speak of childlike innocence, childlike innocence is here. Come on, don't make my son hungry." Dad Xia said.
"If your son is hungry, don't worry about your daughter being hungry." Xia Tongxin pouted and said.
"Okay, childlike heart, mommy loves you~ Damn it, if you have a son, you will forget about your daughter." Xia's mother, who was lying on the bed, laughed and scolded.
Putting down the things in her hands, Xia Tongxin rushed to Xia Ma's side like a child, snuggled into Xia Ma's arms and said coquettishly: "Mom, you love Tongxin the most."
"You love your daughter, and I love my son. Come on! Let's have a drink together." Father Xia smiled and pulled Ling Jie to sit on the table.
"Okay~Dad." Ling Jie felt pantothenic in his heart. He really felt the smell and warmth of home. Ling Jie didn't smoke, but Ling Jie liked drinking, so he didn't refuse. He waited until Xia's father put down his wine glass.
He stopped when he poured it full. In fact, this amount of wine was not enough for Ling Jie to appetize. He was just happy and wanted to drink more wine today. What Dad Xia drank was not a good wine, just a high-altitude white wine that cost a few yuan a bottle.
So Ling Jie decided to bring some bottles of good wine to Dad Xia next time.
"Okay! Men are the ones who know how to drink." Dad Xia happily took a sip of wine and said.
Xia's mother in the back room heard Xia's father inciting Ling Jie to drink, and curses came from inside: "How do you teach your child to drink! Don't bring up your child if you are bad! Cough...cough!"
Ling Jie hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks and walked towards the inner room. Seeing Xia Ma coughing violently, he hurriedly stepped forward to help and patted Xia Ma's back gently.
"Mom, don't worry. I have a good drinking tolerance. Moderate drinking is good for the body. Don't talk about Dad. I have to drink it myself." Ling Jie said while patting her gently.
"You're still young, don't ruin your health. Mom is worried about you, cough... cough." Xia's mother coughed.
"Okay, mom, please lie down and rest first. I will pay attention. You have just recovered from a serious illness. Don't be too excited. Otherwise, we will transfer to the hospital tomorrow to stay for a few days and observe for a period of time. We will come out when there is no problem.
"Ling Jie said.
"No, it doesn't matter. Now Tongxin and his father still owe a lot of debt. If they drag it on, this family will be finished." Xia Ma said with some sadness.
"Okay, Mom, don't worry about money. Don't you still have me? Our family will be fine. We will go to the hospital tomorrow." Ling Jie really doesn't worry about money now. Now Ling Jie also treats Xia
The childlike parents regard them as their own parents, and of course they are concerned about Xia's mother's situation.
"How can a child like you have money?" Xia's mother said.
"Mom, don't worry. I served as a soldier for a few years and retired and I have some money, which is enough for our family." Ling Jie had to find a reason to convince Xia's mother, so he had been a soldier himself, which was a good reason.
"Have you ever been a soldier?" Xia's mother and Xia's father exclaimed almost simultaneously.
"Yes, I joined the army when I was fifteen." Ling Jie smiled and said, "Okay, mom, don't worry about money. Since I am your son now, I must do everything a son should do."
You have to take a good rest, and don’t worry about Tongxin, I will take good care of her."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three members of the Xia family showed different smiles. Xia's mother's smile was relieved and pleased, Xia's father's was appreciative and happy, and Xia Tongxin was shy and touched.
After finishing speaking, Ling Jie and Xia's father went back to the living room to continue drinking and chatting, while Xia Tongxin helped her mother fill the plate with food and took it to the bedside. After finishing the meal, Xia Tongxin sat in the living room and ate with Ling Jie.
At this time, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded outside, which almost frightened Xia Tongxin, who was eating, and fell under the table.
"Okay, it's okay, it's just a drought. It might rain tomorrow." Ling Jie just finished speaking with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, Ling Jie's jaw dropped with laughter, and it suddenly started pouring outside the window.
Xia Tongxin and his daughter looked at each other and smiled, while Ling Jie touched his head in embarrassment.
"The thunderstorm will stop soon." Ling Jie looked out the window and said.
"You don't understand this, don't you? According to me, the rain may not stop until tomorrow." Dad Xia suddenly said.
"What?" Ling Jie asked curiously.
"This is God helping me." After Xia's father said this, he poked Xia Tongxin's foot next to him.
"Ah?" Ling Jie didn't understand what Xia's father said.
Xia Tongxin, who was next to her, immediately understood. It was raining so heavily today and there were no buses for a long time. Ling Jie could only stay here to sleep tonight. Moreover, there was no guest room in his house, and one room was used by his parents.
Of course, Ling Jie couldn't run over to grab the seat. The only thing left was his own room. But it would be better if his room was a place. Ling Jie could make do with it, but his room had a cement floor and couldn't even lay the floor.
At first, Ling Jie could only...
Ling Jie looked at the heavy rain outside the window and suddenly remembered something. He stood up and said to Dad Xia, "It's terrible."
"What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?" Dad Xia snickered secretly after finishing speaking.
"It's raining so hard, I can't go back now." Ling Jie said, if he were single, he wouldn't have to go home, but now there is Jiang Ruoli at home.
"Even if it doesn't rain now, you can't go back. The bus you and Tong Xin took is the last bus. There won't be a bus until 6 o'clock at the earliest tomorrow morning. You don't want to walk back now, do you?" Dad Xia said,
Xia Tongxin next to her lowered her head and said nothing.
"Then what should I do?" Ling Jie did have a headache at this time. It took him so long to come here by bus. Now it's raining so heavily and it's so far away. It's basically impossible to walk back. But Xia Tongxin's house
There were only two rooms. Ling Jie discovered it as soon as he entered the door. If he had to squeeze in, it would be impossible for him to squeeze in with his parents.
Not sure anymore.
"Just sleep here. Tongxin will have to go to work tomorrow morning, so let her accompany you back to Nanhua." Xia's father winked at Ling Jie in a meaningful way.
"Okay then, I'm going to call my family." Now Ling Jie could only do this. He stood at the door and called Jiang Ruoli, telling Jiang Ruoli that it was raining heavily and he couldn't go back.
I'll go back when the rain stops. If it doesn't stop, I can only spend time outside.
It's been a night, and he told her not to worry about him. Surprisingly, Jiang Ruoli didn't complain. He also wished Ling Jie to be careful outside and not to come back even if it stopped raining. It was already so late and it was not safe outside. Ling Jie and
Jiang Ruoli said good night and hung up the phone.
After making the phone call, Ling Jie and Xia's father sat in the room and chatted with Xia's mother for a while.
After talking about some household chores, while Ling Jie was on the phone, Xia's father cleverly ran into the room and said hello to Xia's mother. At this time, it was also time for the two of them to make an appointment to make a secret signal.
"I'm so sleepy~" Xia Ma said with a yawn.
"Well, I'm a little sleepy too." Dad Xia also yawned in agreement.
"Then parents, you should go to bed early. Mom, you should go to bed early. Your body is not clear yet, so you can't stay up late." Ling Jie said.
"Okay, let's go to bed first. You can go find Tongxin, she will make arrangements with you." Xia's father said, Xia's father and Xia's mother have both been here, so of course his daughter's heart is clear.
"Then parents, I'm going out first." After Ling Jie said that, he closed the door to his godfather and godmother.
The two old men looked at each other.
"Honey, do you think something will happen here? After all, young people are impulsive nowadays. No, I have to tell that kid to pay attention to his safety." Dad Xia said.
"Oh, you're the only one who's so meddlesome. Young people don't know anything about this, so please stop trying to mix things up." Xia's mother rolled her eyes at Xia's father and said.
"Oh, my beautiful girl is taking advantage of that boy like this." Dad Xia said a little distressed.
"Shit, isn't it good for your godson? I think he and Tongxin have known each other for a long time." Xia's mother glared at Xia's father and said.
"Then...Wife, can we also..." Dad Xia glanced at his wife's still charming body and said.
"Ah...you want to torture me to death." Xia Ma blushed and struggled a few times symbolically.
