Xue Ling sat down and took Xue Huan to sit beside him.
"I'll have breakfast brought up later. Have some to warm yourself up."
Xue Huan chuckled: "The catering service here is really good. By the way, sister, I feel like Duoduo has been avoiding me these past two days - am I aware of it wrong?"
Xue Ling's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded.
"Yes, he has been avoiding you."
"What are you doing? What is this?" Xue Huanhu asked: "The boy got into trouble? He can't let me and his sister know about it?"
Xue Ling sighed: "Unlucky thing."
"...What's wrong?" Xue Huan explained apologetically: "Since the outbreak of the epidemic, I haven't been back to my home or the nursing home very much. I have to deal with all the big and small things at home. I haven't been there for a month or two.
When I went back, Xiaoyi didn't mention it during the video call with me, probably because he was afraid of disturbing my research work. I was negligent in my duty, and I'm really sorry."
Xue Ling stopped and said, "Don't say that. In fact, Xiaoyi didn't know about this either. When it happened, Xiaoyi was in isolation. She should be out now, but we are busy with A Chong's affairs these days. Duoduo
He ran in and out and made excuses not to tell her. That kid probably didn't know what to say to you, and he felt uncomfortable when he mentioned it, so he kept avoiding you and didn't dare to say anything."
"My family doesn't need to be like this." Xue Huan smiled fondly: "When we meet later, I will talk to him. It's okay. As long as we can help him, we will definitely help him."
My brother-in-law is quite a few years older than him. If we count the generation gap, it is estimated that there is more than one or two generation gaps.
Maybe it was for this reason that they always said hello and asked about their current situation every time they met. Another reason was that he and Xiao Yi were both very busy, and the deceased Aunt Achun took care of her.
Fortunately, he was very close to Xinyuan and was carefully cultivated by Xue Ling, and he quickly became famous.
What’s funny is that they mostly meet in Xinyuan, otherwise it would be difficult to make an appointment together. My brother-in-law is far away in the south and I haven’t seen him for several years. My brother-in-law is very close, but I never have the chance to take care of him.
"Xiao Yi and I always feel we owe him..." Xue Huan smiled bitterly: "We don't care enough about him. To be honest, we didn't do a good enough job."
Xue Ling sighed and shook his head: "You are so busy that you can't even take care of your own children, so how can I blame you."
"Sister, what on earth... happened?" Xue Huan saw her sighing again and again, and he raised his eyebrows unconsciously and asked: "It's a very difficult thing?"
Xue Ling glanced at him anxiously and asked, "How long have you not contacted Duoduo?"
"It's been several months." Xue Huan explained: "I've been in seclusion almost all the time. One time when Xiaoyi was video chatting with me, she said that Duoduo's son, Xiao Zhengzheng, had a fever and asked her to help find someone to find a doctor. Then
At that moment, everything in the imperial capital was sealed off, and access to the hospital was also very restricted. She said that she found someone she knew well to get in, but she couldn't go there to visit, so she had to call and ask. She felt quite embarrassed, saying that she
My aunt did not do her job very well. I comforted her and said that behind her were more than a hundred patients and hundreds of people in a nursing home. There was a lockdown everywhere and there was no way she could leave. I also said that Duoduo would understand her."
"Little Zheng Zheng... is gone." Xue Ling whispered.
Xue Huan: "..."??!!
"Really." Xue Ling sighed helplessly and told him everything about Duoduo and Xiao Tong's divorce.
Xue Huan's face turned pale again and again, and he didn't know how to speak for a moment.
"...The child just...is gone like this?"
"Yeah." Xue Ling explained: "Later I checked a lot of surveillance and found that the child was wandering around in the street and lingering on the embankment next to the moat for a long time. The cold wave happened to hit in those days, and it was very cold everywhere.
. He ran out at four or five o'clock in the evening. Everything was dark and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. The child was playful and went down to play in the water, and then fell into the river... No one saw him, and he was quickly swept away by the water.
Yes. In one piece of surveillance, a small figure was seen struggling in the water and swimming down the river. The body was found several kilometers away in the lower reaches of the moat."
Xue Huan froze on the spot and swallowed his saliva after a long while.
"Such a big thing...how-how could you not tell us?! That brat Duoduo! It's really-it's really-sister, why didn't you tell us?"
"He didn't let me talk." Xue Ling explained: "The incident happened suddenly. I was busy looking for the child. I myself caught the cold and fell ill for a few days. I was concerned about one thing and not the other."
"Why aren't you allowed to talk?" Xue Huan asked with eyes wide open.
Xue Ling shook his head: "I wanted to tell Xiaoyi at first, but she was in isolation. She ran out rashly and was going to be punished and detained. Duoduo was despairing at that time, and I fell ill myself. Fortunately, I had someone
However, they helped prepare for little Zheng Zheng's funeral and stayed with Duoduo every step of the way."
"Alas!" Xue Huan's eyes turned slightly red and he said angrily: "It's unfortunate for our family! There is such a woman in the stall - she can cause trouble even if she doesn't do anything! What a misfortune!"
Xue Ling's eyes were complicated and she explained: "Originally it was just a divorce. I could see that the two of them were angry at the beginning. However, both of them are very stubborn and no one can persuade them. I talked to Duoduo
, although he said he was arrogant and refused to tell the truth, but in his heart he was reluctant to divorce. He just felt that it was not good for the child to always be sick. Instead of constantly changing nannies, it would be better for her to stay at home full-time to take care of the child temporarily until the child is well.
Okay, now that she’s in kindergarten, she’ll go back to work.”
"That little Tong is very arrogant." Xue Huan frowned and said coldly: "Since she values her career so much that she would even abandon her family and marriage for her career, then why is she still getting married? Why not just not get married?!"
Then, he poked at the cell phone in his hand.
"When Duoduo wanted to marry her, Xiaoyi was very happy. He said that they had finally been in love for many years and they even sent their wedding photos to show me. At that time, I directly replied to her, if we really love each other so much, why?
I couldn't get married earlier, I had to wait for her to pass the postgraduate entrance examination, and I had to wait for her to win any awards - oh! I won't say it anymore! From the beginning, I felt that that woman was not a good wife and mother, and was not suitable to be Duoduo's wife, but she was on a blind date.
As long as we fall in love, I can't interfere or say it. We're getting married anyway, so that's my blessing. If I knew she would be so noisy, I should have jumped out and opposed it in the first place!"
Xue Ling shook his head: "We are in a free love marriage, so how can we casually block other people's marriages?"
"But that woman is really not suitable for Duoduo!" Xue Huan was still very angry and loudly said: "Not to mention the arrogance and arrogance, the eyes and the heart are only about climbing up. And Duoduo is suitable for finding a family-oriented woman, not her
The kind of woman who only has a career-minded and utilitarian mind!"
