"We all know." Cheng Huanran sympathized deeply: "Xiaohan has a sensitive personality and lacks some calmness and comfort when getting along with others. You have a hard time teaching her."
Xue Heng shook his head and sighed: "It's hard not to mention it. After all, no pair of parents can easily take on the role of 'parents'. Originally, I only hoped to be able to 'make contributions without giving away', but who knew that my father's love would flow eastward?"
ah."
"Uncle Heng, don't be too sentimental." Cheng Huanran comforted: "The matter may not be as serious as we feared. It's probably just that we are too sensitive and nervous."
"Let's not talk about the relationship between her and that man." Xue Heng whispered: "It's embarrassing that she can make up excuses to deceive us casually. We love her and care for her so much, but she talks nonsense to us.
.We don’t even have basic trust between us. Going to the South Island is a long trip, not as simple as going out of the city, and she can hide it from us. I thought about going to college and giving her enough space, but who knows?
Let the tiger return to the mountain."
Cheng Huanran didn't know how to persuade him, so he reminded: "Uncle Heng, maybe a certain link... was ignored. It's better to talk about this kind of thing openly. Maybe Xiaohan just doesn't want you to know too much, after all, girls of this age have
It’s normal to keep your own little secrets.”
"It's not just that." Xue Heng sighed: "If we talk about it, she might get angry or lose her temper, and then your aunt will quickly give in and coax her and follow her. Even if I have the intention to teach her well, occasionally
Because of your aunt's face, I had to give up halfway."
Cheng Huanran knew his helplessness and whispered: "You and aunt can't cooperate well. This is probably the main reason."
"Yes." Xue Heng explained helplessly: "She and I have our own lives and friend circles. We treat each other as relatives, but not husband and wife. Parents must pay equal attention to educating children, and I cannot perform a one-man show by myself. With her cooperation, I can
I may not be able to teach my daughter well, not to mention that I have to shoulder the responsibility alone."
Cheng Huanran said: "Auntie has a child like Xiaohan, so it is inevitable for her to be pampered."
"The worst part is that she always feels that she owes her daughter." Xue Heng explained: "She has such a mentality towards Xiaohan, and she is reluctant to discipline her or make her unhappy. She even coaxes her tremblingly, fearing that her daughter will get angry.
He lost his temper with her and ruined the relationship between mother and daughter."
Cheng Huanran understood and whispered: "Uncle Heng, actually... I can't blame my aunt. She has experienced too many twists and turns and many ups and downs in life. Like you, she hopes to teach Xiaohan well.
I hope Xiaohan can grow up happily."
"Yes." Xue Heng sighed: "Her expectations are not wrong, but what she did is wrong. I reminded her in a subtle way, but she always told me that Xiaohan is a kind-hearted girl and does not dare to do anything wrong, even if there are some
It's a small mistake, but it won't be too wrong. She insists on thinking this way, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Cheng Huanran didn't know how to persuade him for a moment and became quiet.
Xue Heng continued: "When we got closer, it was also for Xiaohan. No matter how much we hated her or how angry we were, it had long been regarded as a passing thing. But getting closer doesn't mean that we can communicate without any barriers. I and I
She has always been unable to get along, mainly because our views are rarely consistent. It is the same experience when it comes to educating children."
Xue Heng leaned on the sofa chair and looked out the dark French window with a look of sadness on his face.
"Of course, you are still young...you don't know that there are many helplessness in life. I understand that her life has been rough. But she has never been able to reach an agreement with me in teaching her daughter, which makes me really at a loss. But...
I couldn't negotiate with her, and that's where I failed."
Cheng Huanran was not able to comment on the "right or wrong" of his elders and did not dare to speak.
My aunt didn't dare to get too close to Xinyuan, partly because of her grandma, and partly because her aunt didn't dare to come. She felt guilty towards her old father and was too embarrassed to come to her parents' house.
Over the years, my aunt only dared to come to Xinyuan to attend happy events and important events, and she hid in the nursing home at other times.
She made a big mistake when she was young and spent almost half her life regretting it. She suffered from inner condemnation and could not let go even after many years.
Her character has some flaws, and it is difficult to force her to have the same ideas and practices as others on many things.
Cheng Huanran made an extra cup of tea and handed it to Xue Heng.
Xue Heng thanked him and took it and drank a few more sips.
Cheng Huanran couldn't help but change the topic and said warmly: "Uncle Zhilan looks good recently. I took his and grandpa's blood pressure yesterday and they are all within the normal range."
"Fortunately, your parents don't dislike it." Xue Heng chuckled: "Otherwise, how could we keep him here in Xinyuan? Fortunately, we are our own family, otherwise many people would have scolded us two brothers for being unfilial and ruthlessly leaving our old father to him.
Your parents."
Cheng Huanran chuckled: "As long as the old man is happy, you don't have to worry too much about anything else. To put it bluntly, he is already at his age. The most important thing is to let the old man be happy and comfortable."
"Yes." Xue Heng rubbed his slightly sore chest, frowned and asked, "Of course, why hasn't your mother come back yet? Where is your father?"
Cheng Tianyuan had already changed his clothes and came over, just in time to hear the last sentence.
"Aren't you going to come now? If you can't find a suitable thin shirt to put on, just change into the clothes you will wear when going out, so as not to have to change tomorrow morning."
"It's almost dawn." Cheng Huanran said: "It's not more than two or three hours."
Xue Heng couldn't help but ask: "Where is Lingling? Is there any news?"
"She - she hasn't come back yet?" Cheng Tianyuan was about to sit down, but when he heard this, he immediately stood up straight: "Didn't she just go to the kitchen? She hasn't come back yet?"
"No!" Xue Han replied.
Cheng Tianyuan was anxious and asked: "Didn't she take the bowl to the kitchen? Why did it take so long? Could it be that the light was too dark and she sprained her foot? Most of the lights over there were turned off!"
After saying this, he hurried out.
Cheng Huanran also felt that it took a long time for his mother to leave, so he hurriedly followed her.
Unexpectedly, Xue Ling was not in the big kitchen, but in the monitoring room in front.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't find anyone in the huge kitchen, so he was so frightened that he ran to the back garden to look for him, but unfortunately there was no one there.
"Dad!" Cheng Huanran shouted: "Mom is over there in the monitoring room! Don't worry! The lights in the back garden are not bright enough, so be careful where you step!"
Cheng Tianyuan hurried back and glared at his eldest son with a frown.
"You didn't tell me earlier! What are you yelling about at this late hour? You will wake up the elderly and children in a while, but you are the only one asking!"
Cheng Huanran buried his head silently and couldn't help but defend himself.
"...I just found out about it."
Cheng Tianyuan was too lazy to argue with him and hurried to the monitoring room.
The monitoring room was a little lively at this time, not only Ah Chao was there, but Kang An was also helping.
