Xiao Li smiled softly and replied: "That's great! The husband is very considerate to his wife. She is busy with work and occasionally comes back too late, so he will deliberately leave some of her favorite things to eat and keep warm. There are also several times where he comes to the kitchen in person.
Stew some replenishing tonic for my wife."
"Oh!" Lao Li shook his head in disbelief: "Some people say that rich people are all rebels. Husband and wife quarrel, parents quarrel, and children quarrel. Doesn't this look like it? Did I hear it wrong?"
"Not every family is like this!" Xiao Li whispered: "Don't listen to the nonsense of people outside. The wife and husband have a very good relationship. I heard from the old lady that they have been married for more than 20 years, almost
We’ve never had any quarrels.”
"That's really rare!" Lao Li couldn't help but shook his head again: "I can't believe it!"
Xiao Li smiled and washed the big pot.
"It depends on the person and his temperament. Look at Mr., he is very family-oriented, taking care of the elderly and children. He has a very gentle temper. I have been here for so long and I have never seen him get angry. Look at Mrs., like that
Temperament, such a demeanor, do you need to be angry to live your life? It doesn’t look like it, does it?”
Lao Li nodded slowly: "That's right, character is still the most important thing. However, your words also remind me of a sentence - poor and humble couples suffer from everything. When the family is short of food and clothing, the anxiety in my heart is how can I survive?
Good times? Right?”
"Not necessarily!" Xiao Li shook his head: "I heard from the old lady that she was the old Mrs. Cheng, my husband's mother. She said that their family used to be very poor, and the family was often unable to uncover the truth. But she and her wife never had to do it because they had no money.
We bickered, gave in to each other, and took care of each other. Also, I heard her say that when my wife married into their family, their family still owed a lot of money. On the day of the wedding, they couldn't even afford wedding candy, let alone a wedding banquet.
.However, the wife did not dislike their family, and the next day she accompanied her husband to work in the county town, slowly accumulating wealth, and making a lot of money step by step, which is why she has so much wealth today."
Lao Li let out a long "Oh" and exclaimed: "It turns out they started from scratch!"
"Yes!" Xiao Li nodded hurriedly: "I heard from the old lady that my husband used to go to the dock to carry goods to supplement the family's life. No matter it was windy or snowy, he would work part-time at the dock blowing the cold wind to make money."
Lao Li suddenly smiled and said, "It's really unbelievable! If I didn't hear it with my own ears, I probably wouldn't believe it."
He thought that wealthy families were mostly the descendants of landowners, with houses, cars and fields. The ancestors had accumulated a lot of wealth and had a long history. It was passed down to future generations and it was natural for future generations to inherit it. Those who could carry it forward were considered extremely successful.
"No..." Lao Li seemed to remember something and said, "I seem to have heard that my wife is from the imperial capital. Some people say that she is a descendant of some big family. And this courtyard is also where the predecessors stayed."
"I must have heard wrong." Xiao Li poured out the dirty water and defended: "My wife is indeed from the imperial capital. I heard that the surname Xue was the common surname of the former imperial capital, and it seems that he was an official. My wife bought this place.
It seems that her uncle had a small yard, but it was just a small yard. My wife bought another yard, and then bought a large piece of land from the developer of the previous community, so that we could build such a big yard."
"Oh." Lao Li finally believed it and whispered: "He is indeed a truly rich man..."
Xiao Li urged: "Is the ginger water boiling? Turn it down quickly. Don't boil it too little water. It will be too spicy after a while."
Lao Li quickly turned around to see Jiang Shui.
In the room, Xue Ling was holding her nose while eating noodles.
"Sure enough, it's autumn, and the night wind is so cool... It's so chilling. There was no shelter at the airport, and the wind was blowing, and I almost couldn't stand still. It was so cold that I couldn't even get on the bus.
Turning on the heater won't save me!"
Cheng Tianyuan reminded: "It is cold in the morning and evening in autumn. After taking a coat, put it in the car and put it on whenever it gets cold. We are not young, our immunity has begun to decline, and we will get sick if we are not careful."
Xue Ling sniffed and nodded.
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "Have the flights departed? How long will it take to get back?"
"It will take at least two days and one night." Xue Ling replied: "We have to stop for refueling on the way. Fortunately, Mr. Ming often flies around the world to travel and has contacted the airport in advance. He has helped me so much that I have to return the favor.
yes."
Cheng Tianyuan sighed softly and whispered: "It's right to help friends. Of course, when others help us, we must not only remember to be kind, but also remember to repay the kindness."
Xue Ling whispered: "Jiaxue's husband is still in the ICU, and she is also very haggard. Fortunately, her brother-in-law, niece and nephew are taking care of her, otherwise she might not be able to survive. Today I saw her for the first time
When I saw it, I was shocked."
"I don't have children around me." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "My wife suddenly had an accident, and it was not easy for her to hold on for so many days alone. If there were children... at least there would be someone to accompany her, and someone to help bear the burden."
Xue Ling's eyes flashed slightly and he sighed: "If this is the case... you must not let Jiaxue hear it."
Not having children is her biggest regret in her life, and she still feels it to this day, feeling regretful and sad.
When she finally decided to adopt a child, all the procedures were very complicated, but after she got it done, she found that both of them were in poor health and she couldn't take care of her. How could she have the energy to take care of a child?
If you put it off again and again, this matter will get delayed.
Cheng Tianyuan changed the subject and said: "Xiaoxin is going to the south to participate in a chess competition early next month. It is said to be a very famous competition. It will be held on the weekend, so I may have to take a day off."
"Okay." Xue Ling said, "You can help arrange air tickets and so on. Do you want Dad and Uncle Zhilan to accompany her?"
"Well." Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "Not only are the two old men going, but Xiaoxin's old master is also going together. I heard that he is going to meet old friends, and to see with his own eyes how Xiaoxin fights against his opponents.
war."
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and said honestly: "It's quite surprising. I heard that he rarely goes out and lives in seclusion. I didn't expect that he would want to be an audience member and a cheerleader."
"Maybe it was Xiaoxin's influence." Cheng Tianyuan suppressed a smile: "Xiaoxin said that she acted coquettishly for a while before the master agreed. He said that he had not seen his old comrades in the south for more than 30 years and took the opportunity to meet him.
See."
Xue Ling said very generously: "Tell the old people that we will cover all the food and accommodation for you and let them have a good time."
"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan said, "I'll book them a comfortable hotel in advance."
Xue Ling asked in surprise: "Aren't you coming with us?"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Yangyang will also have a competition at that time. I heard from the coach that it is a very important competition and will be held abroad. I have to rush to apply for a passport in the past few days. However, I am so busy with classes that I can't accompany him.
Go, let me go with him."
After a pause, he added: "Originally, Xiao Huzi clamored to go together, but I refused. His ID card was lost, and a replacement has not yet been sent, and he cannot take the plane."
