The temperature outside has dropped again, the north wind is howling and freezing, and the chill is suddenly deep.
Cheng Tianyuan put the two elderly people to bed and turned back to the living room.
The little tiger ran over and hugged his thigh.
“Uncle Yuan, I’m hungry~~”
Cheng Tianyuan held his little hand and asked: "What do you want to eat? Is the sweet soup good?"
"Okay!" Little Tiger nodded hurriedly.
Ahu, who was lying on the sofa, turned his head to the side and said in a hoarse voice: "It's not good to eat sweets at night, it will cause tooth decay."
Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "Milk and bird's nest, just a little rock sugar to taste. It's not very sweet."
Ahu raised his eyebrows and muttered: "Children don't have to eat those expensive nutritional and beauty products, do they?"
"There are too many at home." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Last year, Xinzhi cooperated with others to build a small island. I heard that there are more than a dozen cliffs on it that are densely packed with swallows' nests. Later, we also set up a production line for swallows' nests and sold them domestically.
Some high-end supplement buyers.”
"Yo?" Ahu asked curiously: "Can we also produce a line for bird's nests? Let the swallows produce it?"
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "I don't know the specifics. I heard from Xiaoxin that during the nesting season, swallows will use food to attract the swallows to the island over there. There are professionals who do it, and there are professional hair pickers, and then they air-dry it.
Packaging, selecting masters for quality screening, etc. In short, it can be regarded as a production chain developed by a group of people."
Ahu blinked: "It's very profitable, isn't it? You can tell it's very profitable as soon as you hear it!"
"Probably." Cheng Tianyuan chuckled: "How much I earn, my father-in-law, is hard to ask. But the bird's nests at home have not been broken since last year. Just like fruits, they are brought in box by box. Lingling usually picks
Some are given away and others are kept for eating. When the weather is hot, no one likes to eat late night snacks. Recently, when the weather is cold, I let the kitchen stew some and eat it almost every night. Occasionally, my parents go to bed late and have some.
, I will also spoon it for them to eat. Sometimes I stew rock sugar in the morning and give it to the elderly as breakfast."
"What a luxury!" Ahu muttered.
Cheng Tianyuan asked back: "I have piled up more than ten boxes and haven't eaten yet. Isn't it a waste if I don't eat them? Not everyone likes to eat bird's nests. It's just us Asians who like this stuff. The fishermen on the island rely on fish, shrimp and
Living a life of wild fruits, I don’t understand why we like eating swallows’ nests. Those who can appreciate it regard it as a treasure. Those who don’t understand and don’t appreciate it regard it as garbage.”
Ahu thought thoughtfully: "It seems...that's the reason."
Cheng Tianyuan sent a voice message to the back kitchen and watched TV while holding the little tiger in his arms.
"By the way, Lingling gave twenty cups to Wang Qing and a box to Youyou. You don't even know that, right?"
Ahu shook his head: "I don't know, no one told me."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Women can nourish their skin and lungs after eating it. I guess it is not suitable for you. Wang Qing and the others didn't tell you."
Ahu curled his lips: "You know nothing! I'm old, my brain can't be used anymore, and I can't make any money. No one cares about me no matter what happens at home, so you don't need to tell me at all, do you understand?"
Cheng Tianyuan took a piece of cake from the table and gave it to Xiao Xiaohu, and raised his eyes to look at him.
"Do you think you are still the Ahu you were 40 years ago? At that time, you were in your thirties, high-spirited and full of ambition! You are now over seventy years old and have been recovering from illness for more than ten years! What do you still want? What do you still want?
How many more games are you going to have? Can you do it?"
Ahu stopped talking.
Cheng Tianyuan showed no mercy: "Even if you have the heart, you don't have the ability anymore. This is the reality of this society! We are useless, and people regard us as discarded products of society. Our children are filial, and they dare not abandon us. They try their best
Do your best to coax us. Don’t expect too much. If you can support us and let us live a smooth life in our old age, you should be satisfied. Do you still want to be the head of the family? Why don’t you go to heaven?”
Ahu whispered depressedly: "I...I did go too far today. However, I should also be angry! Shanyue and his wife are not good friends! They encouraged Shanyou to have trouble with Xiaohuzi, and even divorced.
You dare to encourage——"
"Not necessarily." Cheng Tianyuan interrupted him and analyzed carefully: "Shan Yue and his wife came out to join the society when they were teenagers, and they have done as much business as they have hair on their heads now. What kind of good people can they be who dare to run around in the world at such a young age?
Stubble? I don’t deny this, but if you say that they dare to encourage Shan You to divorce, I don’t agree with it. As far as I know, they are quite satisfied with Xiao Huzi. In addition, You You has given birth to two sons.
, life is peaceful and stable, and life is enjoyable, how can they be willing to divorce their daughter and raise a child to become a single mother? Is it possible? "
Ahu fell silent, frowning and lost in thought.
Cheng Tianyuan continued: "They hope that Mini Tiger will take their surname, but they will never be willing to let their daughter pay the price of divorce. Although they are not good people, they are not that bad."
At this time, Lao Li came in with a small stew pot.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and waved, and said to the little tiger in his arms: "Quick! Thank you, old uncle!"
The little tiger simply shouted: "Thank you, old uncle!"
Lao Li narrowed his eyes with a smile and reminded kindly: "It's a bit hot, be careful when eating!"
Then, he reported to Cheng Tianyuan: "Sir, the bird's nest cannot be stewed for a long time. I have already put it in the incubator."
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Thank you for your hard work, you go and have a rest. When Lingling and the others come back, I will just go and give it to them."
"Okay." Lao Li wiped his hands and walked quickly.
While Cheng Tianyuan was feeding the little tiger, he did not forget to send a WeChat message to Wang Xiaoxiao.
"Xiao ah, I'm dad. We've stewed milk and bird's nest in the kitchen tonight. It's in the incubator now. Remember to eat it. Yang Yang goes out to help find Shan You, and he might not be able to come back until very late. It's hard for you to take care of your child, so you don't have to wait for him.
, let’s take a rest early.”
After a while, Wang Xiaoxiao replied with a "Thank you dad" emoticon.
Cheng Tianyuan put away his phone and continued to feed the little tiger.
Ahu couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and took a look with his presbyopic eyes.
"Why aren't there any calls? WeChat is also silent..."
Cheng Tianyuan reassured: "Just wait, they will tell us immediately if there is news. Remember, when young people quarrel in the future, just persuade them to calm down. Don't help, especially your own children. No matter it is
Son or daughter, you should try not to help, otherwise it will only make things more chaotic and worse."
"I just can't stand it!" Ahu still wanted to argue: "I'm also a reasonable person! How could they do this! If they don't let Mini Tiger have their last name, and don't let him live in South Island, they will get divorced!
Divide the family property and the children! How can I bear it! I am so anxious!"
"Maybe it's just a momentary remark during a quarrel." Cheng Tianyuan asked back: "Do the words you said in the quarrel count? Can you take them seriously? Don't get more confused as you live!"
