The engagement banquet ended at eleven o'clock, the guests left one after another, and my family members went back to their rooms to rest.
The two protagonists are still in high spirits, their faces are full of spring breeze, and their eyebrows are full of affection.
Cheng Huanran took Kang An's hand and came to Xue Ling, talking and laughing.
"Mom, An An and I are going out for a trip."
Xue Ling guessed that the young couple might have other fun activities, so he smiled and said: "Be safe on the road. You are all drunk. Don't drive by yourself. Let Lao Chen take you out."
Kang An's face turned slightly red and he whispered: "We will be back early."
"No need." Xue Ling shook his head and laughed: "You can come back anytime, there is no need to rush back! Let's have a romantic time! Go ahead and go!"
Cheng Huanran narrowed his eyes with a smile, hugged his blushing fiancée and set off sweetly.
Xue Xin drank a little, and she was staggering as she had always been a poor drinker and a poor drinker. She acted coquettishly and asked Chen Xinzhi to carry her home.
Chen Xinzhi naturally obeyed and squatted down to carry her on his back.
Xiaoxin laughed, playing with his hair and pulling his collar.
Chen Xinzhi smiled fondly and coaxed: "Good boy, don't move around. Be careful not to fall."
"No way!" When Xue Xin heard that he was about to fall, she quickly hugged his neck, "I won't let myself fall!"
Chen Xinzhi walked over with her face on his back and a smile on his face.
"Mom, let's go back to the courtyard."
Xue Ling answered well and reminded: "Come over for breakfast tomorrow morning."
My daughter doesn't know how to cook, and she, as a mother, knows it all.
Fortunately, she lived close enough, and her family had a chef who could arrange everything for three meals a day. Otherwise, if her daughters-in-law were cooking, she would be embarrassed to call the young couple over all day long to eat and drink.
Chen Xinzhi answered well.
Xiaoxin pouted and acted coquettishly: "Mom, I want to eat Xiao Long Bao, and I also want to eat egg rolls - they want them freshly baked... they want them to be crunchy!"
"I got it." Xue Ling waved his hands like he was shooing away mosquitoes: "Go to bed quickly! You can't drink but you still drink! You really deserve to be scolded!"
Chen Xinzhi's steps were fast and steady, and he ran away with his little wife on his back.
Xue Xin pouted aggrievedly: "Mom seemed to be cruel to me just now... wuwuwu!"
"Be good." Chen Xinzhi coaxed, "Mom is worried that drinking too much will be bad for your health."
Xue Xin had fallen asleep leaning on his neck.
Chen Xinzhi smiled helplessly, slowed down a little, and walked slowly towards the courtyard behind.
"Mom!" Xue Yang shouted while cleaning up: "There is still a lot of wine here - what should we do?"
Xue Ling stepped forward quickly and ordered: "Put away the unopened ones and send the poured ones to the kitchen to see if they can be used as cooking wine. What's left in the bottle will be given to you, how about you?"
"Of course!" Xue Yang said with a smile, "I'm useful!"
Xue Ling nodded: "Okay, then you can move them all away. Don't waste things. You can arrange whatever you want. By the way, don't drink and drive."
"I know, I know." Xue Yang smiled and said, "I'll ask Brother Chao to take me out."
Xue Ling couldn't help but remind her: "Don't come back too late. Xiaozhu has had a cold in the past two days. You go and work during the day, and you can help take care of her at night. Don't make Xiaoxiao too tired."
There is a bit of coolness in the morning and evening in autumn. Children are naughty and active. They are sweating when the cool breeze blows, and they accidentally catch a cold.
I don’t blame the nanny and Xiaoxiao for not doing their best, the main reason is that the child’s resistance is low and it is impossible to prevent it.
"Hey!" Xue Yang agreed: "The children went to bed around ten o'clock. I will be back in more than an hour, it won't be too late."
Xue Ling did not ask where he was going, but turned around and told the cleaning housekeeper to handle it with care.
Cheng Tianyuan sent Xue Cong and his family out, but when he came back he couldn't find Lin Qingzhi.
"Daughter-in-law, have you seen Ah Qing?"
Xue Ling replied: "He went to rest early and was in the third child's room. What? Is there something wrong?"
"Mom was looking for him earlier." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Later, I helped Ahu send Wang Qing back first, but he couldn't be found since he came back."
Xue Ling said "Oh" and said: "Before the banquet ended, I saw mom and him chatting in the living room. It seemed like they had been chatting for a long time."
"That's no need." Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "You have been busy all day, so you should go and rest early. I can just watch here."
Xue Ling was indeed very tired, so she warned: "I have remitted the overtime pay of the workers to their managers. There are a lot of fruits over there in the corner. I will send one to them each. During the big holiday, we will ask people to work overtime."
It’s hard to get over it.”
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan patted her back and whispered: "You go to bed earlier. I may have to get up late tomorrow, and my parents will have to rely on you to help me when they get up."
Xue Ling smiled softly: "OK, no problem."
It took a whole day to prepare for the banquet and several hours to clean up the mess. Cheng Tianyuan watched the domestic workers leave and found that it was already past three in the morning.
There were still cars in the garage that had not returned, and it seemed that the eldest and second eldest children were there. Cheng Tianyuan warned the security guard on duty, and then went to the study to rest.
As he got older, his sleep was not as peaceful as before. If he went into the room to sleep, he would definitely wake up Xue Ling and make her unable to sleep again. So, he decisively went to the study next door.
Early in the morning, Xue Ling got up and went to her parents' room.
She helped the old man put on his thin coat and asked out of curiosity: "Mom, what did you talk to Ah Qing about last night? We spent most of the day talking!"
Mother Xue struggled to comb her hair and replied: "I used to save some gold bars in a bank vault, and I wanted to take them out and make them into jewelry for the younger generations. I asked Ah Qing to introduce a skilled master to help make some beautiful and fashionable ones."
It’s just a trick, so that young people won’t like it.”
"It's really hard work!" Xue Ling said with a smile: "You have to take the initiative to give it away, and you have to give it so that others like it and are satisfied!"
"No way!" Xue's mother teased: "The juniors now are the little ancestors of the family, why don't they coax them and pamper them!"
Xue Ling said seriously: "You can give them to me. I don't care what the tricks are. You can just give them gold bars. You can also save some design fees and labor costs."
"Put it down." Xue's mother said unceremoniously: "Why should I give it to you? I want to give it to my great-grandchildren!"
Xue Ling chuckled, turned around and poured a glass of warm water for his old father.
"I have to go out after breakfast. The back garden was cleaned last night and is still wet. You can only walk in the big living room and the front corridor. Remember!"
Father Xue asked: "Where are you going?"
"I heard that Duoduo's baby is sick." Xue Ling replied, "I'll go over and take a look."
Xue's father's eyes flashed slightly and he whispered: "We haven't seen Duo Duo for a few days... Please keep an eye on him. When he came last time, I saw that his face was not very good."
"I know." Xue Ling didn't want to say more, so he changed the subject and said, "You guys go to the living room first. Uncle Zhilan should be awake by now. I'll knock on the door and have a look."
After breakfast, Xue Ling took her bodyguard and hurried out.
