Xue Ling was angry with her little daughter, was in a bad mood, and the food was tasteless.
Cheng Tianyuanhu on the side asked: "Where are the children? Why don't you come over to eat?"
Xue Ling replied: "Is there something wrong? The four of them are in the living room and will be here soon."
The three old people ate happily and kept praising the delicious soup they made.
“It tastes very delicious!”
"The minced meat is very fine, so there is no need to chew it. As people get older and their teeth deteriorate, they can no longer eat hard things."
"Let the kitchen make more soup like this in the future - it tastes great!"
Xue Ling heard the words and said warmly: "I will tell Xiao Li to go in a moment. You are old and your teeth are not very good. This kind of nutritious vegetable soup is easy to eat and is also very good for the body."
"Okay." Liu Ying said with a loving smile: "I used to be so exhausted from working every day that I often couldn't have a full meal. Now it's delicious and delicious, and I don't have to work or even cook! It's great!"
Xue’s mother joked: “If we did it ourselves, we wouldn’t be able to taste it so well!”
Cheng Tianyuan smiled: "As I get older, it's time to enjoy peace and happiness."
“Enjoy it every day!”
"That's right! We live in such a nice garden, eat and drink well every day, and there is such a big TV to watch, it's like a big movie!"
"If I had put it aside before, I wouldn't have dared to think so even in my wildest dreams!"
"Haha!" Several old people laughed.
"I'm full." Xue's father chirped a few times and stood up, "I made an appointment with Zhilan to play chess. I guess he should be here soon."
Xue Ling couldn't help but remind: "The snow outside is very heavy, maybe Uncle Lan won't be able to come."
"It's okay." Xue's father said, "Ah Huan has to go on duty tonight, and I want to send him over on the way. The off-road vehicle that Ah Huan changed to is big, and the wheels are so high, it doesn't matter if there is a little snow."
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly reminded: "Dad, please call Uncle Zhilan and ask him to bring a change of pajamas. You can rest here tonight. It's cold outside, so don't run around."
"Hey!" Father Xue nodded.
Liu Ying and Xue's mother were full soon, said they wanted to go back to the room to watch TV, and left the dining room together.
Only Xue Ling and his wife were left in the huge dining room, and there was a table of sumptuous dishes that were barely touched.
Cheng Tianyuan gave her a piece of roasted squab, and then pinched a piece himself.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong? You don't seem to have any appetite?"
Xue Ling shook his head: "It's not bad, I guess I was a little tired after running several places in the afternoon."
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "I'll make some ginger soup later, and the whole family will have a few sips. It's been very cold these past two days, and people can easily catch a cold."
"Okay." Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and asked, "What will Shan You and Xiao Huzi eat? Have you made arrangements?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "I asked the kitchen to cook lean meat porridge for them to eat. Shanyou ate two bowls and had a good appetite. She was afraid that the cold would be transmitted to the elderly and younger siblings, so she stayed in the room playing computer and did not accompany us for the past two days.
Eat. The little tiger sleeps until evening and plays games after eating porridge. His time rhythm is different from ours, so there is no need to wait for him to eat."
"Starting from tomorrow, lunch and dinner must be at the same pace as everyone else." Xue Ling reminded: "This is what Ah Huan said. He has some serious gastrointestinal problems, so he must try to have three meals on time."
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan nodded.
Xue Ling had no appetite and went back to her room after eating a small bowl of vegetable soup.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the empty kitchen and couldn't help but take out his cell phone and call his eldest son.
"What's wrong with you? Even if there is heating in the dining room, the food will get cold very quickly. Why don't you come and eat?"
Cheng Huanran replied that he would be there soon.
Half a minute later, several children filed in.
Cheng Tianyuan suddenly took a look at his baby daughter's red eyes and swollen eye sockets, and his face immediately sank.
"What's wrong? Which of you bullied your sister?"
"No!" Cheng Huanchong stopped and said repeatedly: "The youngest is the eldest in the family, no one dares to bully her. It was her...she was the one who made her mother angry, and she cried when she knew she was in the wrong."
What the eldest brother and the second brother said just now was so thrilling that they are still scared to this day. The eldest brother and the second brother also gave their younger sister a lesson. Although it was much gentler than their mother's, it was still a real lesson.
Cheng Tianyuan's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "Let's all sit down and eat first."
Several people washed their hands and held chopsticks, and the dining room soon became lively again.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at his youngest daughter and found that she was blinking at him, with traces of tears still shining in her eyes, and he felt sad in his heart.
"Xiao Xin, my mother is so hard and busy all year round. She finally takes a few days off at home during the Chinese New Year. Why did you make her angry? Just admit your mistake and don't do it again."
Xue Xin sniffed, her voice having a thick nasal sound.
"Dad, is it... because I was kidnapped?"
Cheng Tianyuan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at his eldest son and second son.
Xue Yang buried his head and ate so deliciously that he had no idea.
Cheng Huanran smiled coquettishly and whispered: "Mom... told me to say it. Xiaoxin didn't like the bodyguards following her, and even lost her temper with her."
Cheng Tianyuan sighed softly and turned to look at his daughter beside him.
"Yes, your brother and the others didn't lie to you. Your mother and your Aunt Cong were kidnapped, and Uncle Aheng was knocked unconscious by the gangsters with a gun. He was recuperating at home for more than a week. Since then, our family began to invite
Bodyguards. Later we moved to the garden. The space here was too big, so we could only add a few more security guards. Mom was thinking about the safety of our family. We have always taught you to be low-key and conduct yourself, just for fear of such an accident. In the past, we
Our family's finances are average, so we don't have to worry too much. But your mother has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, which belongs to our whole family. At the same time, it has also become a favorite in the eyes of some criminals. During that time, you and your grandfather participated in the
Too many TV programs accidentally revealed some of our family's wealth information, so we were secretly targeted by gangsters."
Xiaoxin's face turned pale and she choked with sobs as she asked, "Then... Mom, is she okay?"
"It's okay." Cheng Tianyuan smiled: "Uncle Cong rescued them quickly. Your mother sent people to protect you at home, but forgot to protect herself... Fortunately, she came back safely soon."
Xiaoxin shed tears and sobbed: "Dad...I'm sorry...I don't know at all. I just scolded...I hate bodyguards...it's very annoying."
Cheng Tianyuan put down his chopsticks and hugged his little daughter.
"Stop crying, I'll go and apologize to your mother after I'm full. A bodyguard's salary is 20,000 to 30,000, and security guards are several thousand. If it weren't for the safety of our family, there would be no need to spend so much money a month.
You can't find them annoying. On the contrary, you have to be grateful that they protect you all the time. You have to let them follow you more, otherwise it will be a waste of the money your parents spent on asking them to do things."
"Yeah." Xiaoxin nodded obediently.
Cheng Huanran raised his chin slightly: "Eat quickly and apologize after eating. If you want to go out with your classmates in the future, just ask the bodyguards to follow you. Just don't run around or avoid them on purpose. You and your classmates should have fun.
Just go wherever you go, it won’t have much impact.”
"Oh." Xiaoxin agreed.
Cheng Huanchong murmured: "I...maybe I have to apologize to my mother...I was the one who started it."
"Let's go together!" Xiaoxin said.
Xue Yang gnawed on the big chicken leg and muttered: "Go, go! Let's go together! There are a lot of fun things to do at home, and I will take you to play on the dance mat later!"
