The cold waves this winter have been constant, one after another, with heavy snow falling every now and then, making it so cold that people don’t want to go out.
Nonetheless, those who have to go out still have to go out.
After Cheng Tianyuan returned from the nursing home, he took a detour to the company and did not return home until nightfall.
When I first entered the garage, I found it was empty inside and out, with not a single car.
He went straight to the living room with his briefcase and found only three old people warming themselves in front of the fireplace, chatting and watching TV.
"Dad, Lingling hasn't come back yet?"
Dad Xue said "Oh?" and explained: "No, I left early in the morning and was so busy that I didn't come back for dinner at noon."
Liu Ying yawned and replied: "She said that the group is very busy at the end of the year and has to go there in the past few days."
Mother Xue looked around: "Why didn't you see Xiaoxin and Laosan?"
"They went out while we were taking a nap." Xue's father said with a smile: "Young people are not afraid of the cold, so just go out when you go out. Finally, after the final exam, you have a holiday, so you can go wherever you like."
Cheng Tianyuan took out his mobile phone and opened the family group.
The daughter sent a cute emoticon, and then attached a photo of her and Mr. Qi.
An old man and a young man are sitting in front of the chessboard playing chess. One is smiling kindly, the other is smiling sweetly. There is a small stove making tea next to them, and the water smoke is lingering. It looks warm and happy.
The daughter also said that she would stay and have dinner with the master and then go home in the evening.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and explained: "Xiaoxin went with her master and won't come back for dinner."
"Where's the third child?" Xue's mother reminded: "We asked you to drive the car at home, and he went out by car. It's windy and snowy outside, so it's definitely not easy to ride in the car. Ayuan, ask the third child and see.
Do you need to pick him up?"
The old mother in Lao Chen's family is seriously ill and has taken leave for the past few days and has not come to work.
When Xue Ling went out, the bodyguard drove the car, as did Xiaoxin, and everyone else drove by themselves.
The third child has not graduated yet, and no one in his family will buy him a car, so he has no choice but to call a car by himself.
Cheng Tianyuan called the third child, but it took a long time before he answered.
"What? Okay, then walk back."
Then, he hung up and explained: "The third child is coming soon and is walking back from the subway station."
Father Xue couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard this, and whispered: "The snow outside is so thick, and the wind is so strong at night, it's not safe to walk."
Cheng Tianyuan rubbed his hands and took off his coat.
"It doesn't matter, they are such big people."
If it was a daughter, then he would definitely drive out to pick her up. It was different with his son. His legs were so long that he could walk, but it wasn’t too far anyway.
Liu Ying said angrily: "The wind and snow were so heavy. Even though the road was not far away, it was very difficult to walk. After a while, my shoes and socks got wet, my pants got wet, and it was so cold and uncomfortable! You didn't go out to pick him up and you made sarcastic remarks!"
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head indifferently and sent a message to his wife.
Xue Ling quickly replied, saying that she was on her way back and would be home in about twenty minutes.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoxiao walked over with a big belly and greeted everyone politely.
"Hey." Cheng Tianyuan asked with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, tomorrow is the weekend, can I come back to eat tonight?"
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly: "He said he had to work overtime tonight. A batch of goods had to be packed and sent out quickly. Everyone went to the warehouse to help with packaging. Business was very hot at the end of the year, and the express company would not accept orders in a few days. They must take advantage of this opportunity.
Ship the goods as soon as possible and try to make a profit."
"So that's it." Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "No wonder I haven't seen him much for a while. When he is done with his work, let him spend more time with you."
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "He said that when he is free, he wants to accompany me back to my parents' home. He is worried that his belly will get bigger and bigger and he will not be able to go out by then, so he wants to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to come back with me first.
Mom and Dad, how many days?"
"Very good." Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "I asked your mother to help you prepare some things to bring to your in-laws. When the weather gets better next spring, I invite them to come and play when they have time."
Wang Xiaoxiao hurriedly answered, then sat between her grandma and grandma, holding her waist, and watched TV with them.
Cheng Tianyuan poured water and drank.
Father Xue on the side asked with concern: "How is Xiaohao? When will he recover?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "There is nothing wrong with him physically, but his mental condition is not very good. The nursing home is quite good, but it is too small. Living with Amin is a bit crowded. The doctor said that his condition is good and bad.
, you have to observe it carefully for a while."
Father Xue couldn't help but ask: "Can I be discharged from the hospital during the Chinese New Year? The Chinese New Year is almost here."
"No." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "I will be able to go out to celebrate the New Year with my family, but I will have to go back after the festival. The doctor said that if the situation is optimistic, it is possible that I can enroll in school normally in September next year."
Xue's father stopped: "Don't rush, don't rush, take good care of yourself first and then go to school. By the way, Amin and his wife...are you done with the trouble?"
"Not yet." Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "The two are planning to divorce, but the property has not been settled yet, and they are still arguing about who will give the child."
Father Xue frowned and asked: "Does it have to be like this? Do we have to leave? We are already dozens of years old, why are we still so stubborn about it?"
Cheng Tianyuan sighed softly: "At first, it was my sister-in-law who threatened to divorce, and then Amin insisted that we must divorce. My sister-in-law's natal family were not very unreasonable, and instead of trying to persuade them to make peace, they tried to persuade them to leave. My sister-in-law listened to her natal family's advice, and finally gave up.
I insist that we must divorce. One wants to leave and the other doesn’t, but it’s still possible to persuade them to do so. Now both of them have to leave, and no one can persuade them.”
"Where are those children?" Father Xue shook his head and asked, "Can they all support it?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "Xiao Hao can't stand the stimulation mentally. He doesn't know it yet. Several others already know it and they all seem to agree."
"What?!" Xue's father stared in disbelief and asked, "How is it possible? Agree? Really?"
Cheng Tianyuan answered with a bitter smile: "The children have long been unable to bear the two of them quarreling all day long. They would rather they live separately and live separately. I don't want them to continue to quarrel like this and make the family no longer peaceful."
Father Xue was slightly stunned, and seemed to understand all of a sudden.
"...If that's really the case, wouldn't it be a kind of relief for each other? Although bad fate is fate, it doesn't necessarily have to be cherished."
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows, feeling that what his father-in-law said tonight seemed too mysterious.
"Dad, you also learned these words from TV?"
Father Xue laughed and shook his head: "No, I read it in the book."
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Your old eyes are still fine. Take a look at it more when you have nothing to do. By the way, you can teach us and a few children."
"Haha!" The old man was coaxed into laughing.
At this moment, the boss drove back and picked up the third child who was covered in snowflakes at the intersection.
Cheng Huanchong ran in with long legs and stamped his feet.
