It was late at night and Xue Ling still hadn't come back.
Cheng Tianyuan checked his phone and looked at his father-in-law and Xue Zhilan who were still playing chess.
"Dad, Uncle Zhilan, why don't you go and have a rest? It's quite late."
"It's almost, it's almost." Xue's father whispered: "There are only a few steps left."
Xue Zhilan didn't care at all and chuckled: "I'm sleeping here anyway, so I don't have to run home. I'll be later later."
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the two old men who had completely let themselves go, and couldn't laugh or cry.
"The bird's nest is stewed in the back kitchen. I'll bring it to you for supper."
Father Xue nodded: "Okay."
"Wait!" Xue Zhilan stopped and said, "Bird's nest is suitable for ladies. Just make us a bowl of white porridge."
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "There is no white porridge tonight, only bird's nest. Just a small bowl per person."
After saying this, he walked out of the living room.
Xue Zhilan was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Every time I come here, I eat and drink..."
"What are you talking about!" Xue's father interrupted him, "Even if you don't come, the supper at night will be bird's nests. Recently, Tietou brought a lot of bird's nests from other places and said that the price is very cheap, so let us eat them."
Xue Zhilan gave a suspicious "Ah" and asked: "Could it be a fake? Nowadays, many expensive supplements are often adulterated, but you can't be greedy for cheap and buy supplements from uncertain sources."
"No, no." Xue's father chuckled and explained: "Tietou recently invested in the bird's nest business with a friend from Wen Guo, and hired some migrant workers who are good at rock climbing to collect wild bird's nests on a small island. The people there didn't eat them.
Almost no one knows about the tradition of bird's nest. My friend is responsible for buying it locally, and Tietou is responsible for selling it domestically. The quality is quite good, and the price is a little lower than on the market. Tietou brings a few bags here every now and then, and I can't even eat them at home.
over."
"It's great to be in love!" Xue Zhilan teased: "Even my great-uncle is also taking advantage of it - that's great!"
Father Xue couldn't help but nod: "Tietou is a really good kid. He has been financially savvy since he was a child and is very good at doing business. In this regard, none of the children in our family can compare with him."
"It's our Xiaoxin's good fortune!" Xue Zhilan chuckled: "I have found a husband who knows everything about me. My future husband will be very capable and one of a million."
Father Xue chuckled and said: "You also have granddaughters, and there are two of them. From now on, you will look for Xiaoxin's partner, which will make your grandfather happy."
"Hahaha!" Xue Zhilan laughed.
At this time, Cheng Tianyuan brought the bird's nest in and handed each of them a bowl.
"Dad, Uncle Zhilan, when you finish eating, put it aside. I will take it back to the kitchen later. I saw Lingling coming back just now, so I brought a bowl for her to eat."
"Hey! Okay!"
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Cheng Tianyuan took the bird's nest to the room, but found that Xue Ling did not go back.
He put down the bowl and turned around to go to the study. Unexpectedly, his wife was not in the study either.
Strangely, earlier the security guard at the gate clearly reported that my wife had returned.
As the elder of the family, I didn't know where to look for her at the moment. I thought she would probably go find the youngest and youngest, so I just went back to the room and waited.
Half an hour later, Xue Ling finally came back, with a slightly tired look on his face.
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Daughter-in-law, eat the bird's nest in the stew pot. Eat it quickly, otherwise it will get cold."
Xue Ling yawned, thanked him and turned to go to the bathroom.
"When did you come back?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "Before dinner. When I arrived, Uncle Zhilan happened to be at the door of the house. He said that you had gone to discuss business with A Heng and would come back later."
"Alas..." Xue Ling explained while changing clothes: "There is no need for me now for official business. We went to arrest Xiaohan. We didn't dare to let the two old men, Uncle Zhilan, know about it, so we made up excuses to deceive them."
Cheng Tianyuan was slightly stunned and asked: "Catch Xiaohan? What do you mean?"
Xue Ling told him the whole story and then pointed in the direction of the guest room.
"She was so angry that she said stupid things about the supremacy of love. A Heng was so angry that he almost went crazy. Seeing that the situation was not good, I had to bring her back and let the father and daughter separate for a while to calm down."
Cheng Tianyuan's face darkened, his brows furrowed slightly and he asked, "Does A Fang know?"
"Of course I don't know." Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "This girl probably watched too many detective dramas and learned to fool on the one side, cajole on the other, engage in guerrilla warfare and destroy evidence. If it hadn't been for being bumped into by me and the third child today,
How could Ah Heng and Ah Fang know about it! Ah Fang is still abroad, and Ah Heng and I are in a state of confusion for the time being, and we haven’t even told her yet."
"How did you become a parent!" Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but yelled: "The child ran out and fell in love with someone's little eunuch for more than a year, and they didn't notice at all! What did they do?! Did their brains get caught in the door?
?!"
"Shh!" Xue Ling frowned and smiled bitterly: "Don't yell, don't yell, don't let a few old people know about it for now. Uncle Zhilan is staying here tonight, so don't let him know. Try to keep this matter as small as possible. In the end, it's just
It's just a little girl secretly falling in love during adolescence. It's not good to make it known to everyone, otherwise it will be counterproductive and make Xiaohan want to be with that young man even more."
"Where is that guy from? Is he her classmate?" Cheng Tianyuan asked with a frown.
Xue Ling shook his head: "No... I said we met during a social gathering at the school next door. The man was one year older than her. He dropped out of school in the third year of junior high last year and did not continue studying. He hung out in Internet cafes and game arcades every day. He liked to wear anime clothes and dress up.
, the makeup is all fancy, and she looks okay, with a sultry expression, and looks like a rebellious little gangster."
Cheng Tianyuan felt dizzy after hearing this, and asked: "Xiaohan actually likes this type of boy? He is really young and ignorant!"
"It's just the impulse of adolescent hormones." Xue Ling lowered her voice: "Then we have to find a way to persuade her to stop early, study hard, and don't think too much."
"It's necessary!" Cheng Tianyuan didn't know what he thought of, and said in a deep voice: "She is quite similar to her mother in this aspect. Back then, her mother was thinking about getting married before her hair even grew! A woman of this age
Children, with their brains full of mush, how can they understand what love and marriage are! It’s just nonsense!”
Xue Ling patted his chest, frowned and advised: "Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, it's not good for Xiaohan to hear it."
"What I'm telling you is the truth!" Cheng Tianyuan said coldly: "We are only in the second year of junior high school, and our grades are so bad that we can't even look at them, but it turns out that all of our thoughts are looking for boys! How can we guarantee our future if we do three or four in the most critical period of study?
?!Her mother had a hard time back then. She studied very hard and finally did some reading and found a stable job. Today’s society has changed. In the past, technical secondary school students were considered top students, but now it’s difficult for college students to find jobs. Back then,
If Xiaoxin affects her grades, I definitely don’t agree, let alone Xiaohan’s grades are so bad! I will never tolerate it!”
