Xue Ling smiled: "Aren't you driving now? If you can fly there, it would be much easier. Now during rush hour, there is a lot of traffic, so you have to drive slowly."
Xiaoxin muttered sadly: "I didn't eat anything after school, I was already hungry..."
"The table has been reserved." Xue Ling said: "The dishes have been ordered by the secretary. As soon as we arrive, the dishes will be served soon."
Father Xue smiled fondly and pulled his granddaughter to sit down.
"It won't take more than a few minutes. Just bear with it. Your mother drives very slowly. She just needs to cross the bridge in front and then cross two red lights."
After saying this, he looked forward and asked, "Ayuan went to attend the parent-teacher meeting?"
"No." Xue Ling replied: "From his tone, it seems that Xiao Chong made a mistake and was left in the office by the head teacher and asked him to hurry over."
Father Xue suddenly became nervous and asked, "What's going on? Did you get into a fight?"
"No!" Xiaoxin replied simply: "The third brother didn't fight with anyone. He and the two boys in the next class were doing something for who knows what recently. They got together after class. He was not serious in class and was caught by the class teacher.
When I arrived, my parents were called."
Dad Xue frowned and asked: "Why is third brother not serious in class? What is he doing secretly?"
"I don't know." Xiao Xin explained: "I haven't sat at the same table with him for several years. He has a large circle of friends, and so do I. He sat in the back and I sat in the front. I really don't know what he did to make the teacher catch Xiao Xin.
braid."
Father Xue chuckled and said warmly: "Boys are more naughty after all."
"It's okay to be naughty, but you can't violate classroom disciplines!" Xue Ling turned around the steering wheel and said with an unhappy tone: "His dad and I are both busy. He is almost thirteen years old, and he has to be sensible and know what he can't do."
"It's okay." Xue's father said: "Our children have been well-behaved since they were young, so there is no need to worry about whether they are big or small. Most of them are not serious in class and not focused, so don't call the parents."
Xue Ling checked the time and found that more than forty minutes had passed, so he couldn't help but call Cheng Tianyuan's mobile phone.
After a while, Cheng Tianyuan answered.
Xue Ling asked: "Has everything been settled? Where are you?"
"Just out of the school gate." Cheng Tianyuan replied: "You booked the 'Blue Sky Seafood Restaurant', right? It's not too far from here. Let's rush there now."
"Okay!" Xue Ling said: "We are almost here. We have booked the first box on the third floor. Let's talk when we get here."
Cheng Tianyuan hung up.
Ten minutes later, Xue Ling finally parked the car, quickly got out of the car, and opened the door.
Father Xue held the door and slowly walked down.
She quickly gave her a hand and pulled the old man beside her.
Xiaoxin jumped down happily.
Surrounded by waiters, three generations of grandparents got on the elevator and arrived at the first box on the third floor.
Xue Ling said: "The appetizers and soup will be served first, and other dishes will be served ten minutes later."
The waiter responded, poured the tea, and left quickly.
Dad Xue wiped his hands and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xin, are you nervous?"
"You're not nervous!" Xiaoxin replied crisply: "Being nervous can't give you any grades, so why are you nervous? Anyway, I'll try my best to kill, and the grades will be whatever happens!"
"Yo!" Father Xue couldn't help laughing: "Where did our Xiaoxin learn such words? It sounds very philosophical."
Xiaoxin replied: "The president told me."
Xue Ling smiled and asked: "Are you the president of the Imperial City's Chess Association?"
"Yes." Xiaoxin held up her chopsticks to pick up the appetizers and replied with a smile: "He told me this several times! Uncle Zhilan is the vice president, but he was much calmer. He touched my head and said take it easy.
And then it was gone.”
Xue Ling asked curiously: "Have you ever played chess with your uncle? Have you played recently? Did you win or did he win?"
"He won a lot before." Xiaoxin replied, "I win a lot now."
Dad Xue smiled gently: "Xiaoxin's current level is already that of a professional player, which is not bad!"
Xiaoxin giggled and picked up some kelp for her mother and some peanuts for her grandpa.
Xue Ling thanked her and took a sip of tea: "You guys eat, I'm not hungry yet."
Xiaoxin couldn't help but ask: "Mom, can your company's employees bring snacks to work?"
"Yes." Xue Ling replied: "At around four o'clock in the afternoon, you can have ten minutes of tea time."
Xiaoxin asked: "What about you? Can you take a break too?"
"Yes." Xue Ling replied with a smile: "But I really don't have time to rest. People who occasionally have to work overtime at night are almost always racing against time every day. In the afternoon, your Aunt Xiao Jiaxue came to see me and brought some snacks. I ate some.
So I’m not hungry yet.”
Xiaoxin pursed her lips and snickered: "Last time she said she was going to attend an international weight loss class. How was it? Did she lose weight?"
Xue Ling replied: "I have lost more than ten kilograms and my muscles are stronger. My blood pressure has been a little high recently and I have to walk slowly for half an hour every morning and evening."
Xue's father smiled helplessly and asked, "Doesn't she have any children yet?"
"The adoption procedures have been completed." Xue Ling replied: "It's a pity that neither of them liked the children in the orphanage. They went to choose the children several times without success. Maybe the leader of the orphanage was angry and didn't contact them afterwards.
They are gone."
Dad Xue whispered quietly: "When you are young, you can do everything by yourself. You don't have to worry about taking care of your children. You are free and comfortable. But when they get old, everything in the house is quiet. When they are sick, they can only take care of each other and have no children."
Just sitting around with your grandchildren and enjoying family happiness may not necessarily lead to a happy life."
Xue Ling shook his head: "Her husband is a foreigner and is different from our traditional ideas. Some of his friends are getting married now and only start having children when they are forty or fifty years old. Everyone has their own ideas and the freedom to choose their lifestyle.
You feel unhappy, but maybe others are happy."
"Can't communicate." Father Xue curled his lips: "Anyway, I must teach my younger generations not to just focus on temporary freedom and happiness, but to think long-term. When you are too old to walk, there are younger generations who can help you.
You. You can’t live forever, but at least your genes and family can be passed down for thousands of years.”
Xue Ling smiled and looked at her daughter who was feasting on the other side.
"Did you hear that? You should listen to grandpa more and don't engage in bachelorism in the future, let alone DINK."
Xiaoxin's face was slightly red, she didn't know what to say, so she just ate by herself.
Father Xue couldn't help but nod: "That's right! Those thoughts are unacceptable! If everyone thinks like that, there will soon be no one on the earth."
At this time, the door of the box was pushed open!
Cheng Tianyuan walked in with a sullen face, followed by a young man with his head buried - Cheng Huanchong.
The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy has begun to grow taller. He is only a little shorter than his tall father. He is tall and thin, with a handsome and fair face.
Unlike the tall and strong second brother, he is more like the tall, thin elder brother who is sunny and cheerful, but his eyebrows are more childish and even childlike.
Cheng Tianyuan sat down and greeted the old man: "Dad."
Xiao Chong whispered: "Grandpa...Mom..."
Father Xue hurriedly waved: "Xiao Chong, come on, come on! Sit next to grandpa."
Xue Ling knew that he had been reprimanded and was not in a hurry to know the inside story. He handed him a warm towel and said, "Take a few mouthfuls of soup first."
"Yes." Xiao Chong took it very obediently and sat on the other side of his grandfather.
