Xue Ling did not join, but quietly sent a message to Xue Heng, asking him if he had found Uncle Zhilan.
Xue Heng was probably busy looking for someone, and it took him a while to reply to the message.
——No! There are no places where he usually goes! It’s past nine o’clock now, and I can’t find anyone when I call to turn off the phone. It’s really a bit urgent!
Xue Ling thought for a while and called the security booth at the door of his home.
Unexpectedly, they said there were no guests and it was quiet all the time.
Xue Ling secretly felt something was wrong and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
At this time, Dad Xue on the other side pointed out the window and asked: "Ling Ling, look over there! What's over there? Yo! The car is fast! It was all over in no time!"
Xue Ling didn't see it very clearly and replied: "It should be a signal tower on a mountain. There are highways here, so drive fast. Dad, are you wearing your seat belts?"
"It's done." Father Xue replied.
Xue Ling couldn't help but laugh: "Dad, where did you learn this Northeastern dialect recently?"
"Haha!" Xue's father laughed happily and explained: "Recently, your mother and I like to watch Northeastern operas, and we learned them from them. They are all common dramas in the family. The east family has the upper hand and the west family has the shortcomings, but it is very interesting.
Your Uncle Zhilan introduced me, saying that as he is older, he looks more interesting and can empathize with me."
"Oh." Xue Ling asked thoughtfully, "Dad, didn't aunty go to the University for the Elderly with you?"
Father Xue shook his head: "We went there twice, but she didn't like going there anymore. I originally introduced her to everyone's class, but she thought about it and refused."
"Her level is high." Liu Ying interrupted: "We old students can't understand the classes she takes."
Mother Xue said "Hey!", feeling a little helpless.
"My younger siblings don't know why, but they have been liking the Mao family for the past few years. They look bad and are not in good spirits."
Dad Xue sighed: "She quarreled with Zhilan every three days, and her temper became worse and worse. Zhilan said that her menopause was seriously delayed... I can't say what I said. She has been busy looking for a partner for A Heng recently.
I hang out with the aunts in the community every day, and I compare my home with other people’s homes every day. This - what’s the comparison? Right? Every household is different, there’s no comparison.”
Xue Ling's eyes moved slightly and said: "Aheng, he doesn't want it himself, but it's not like no one wants him. He was in the branch, and several young employees made secret glances at him, but he said it himself, and his heart was as calm as any wave.
Can’t get up.”
The two have been divorced for several years, and Xiaohan is now in elementary school.
One works quietly in the logistics department of the TV station, and the other goes to work normally, picking up his children to and from school in the morning and evening, living a peaceful and almost lonely life.
Mother Xue smiled bitterly: "He is only in his forties. He is good-looking and a good person. The key is to have a successful career. Girls nowadays will not be tempted when they see that you have a house, a car and are the boss of the company."
?”
Liu Ying's face looked a little bad, and she said in a deep voice: "I have told him several times that if you meet someone you like and is good to children, find a younger person to live with. He is only in his forties and has just passed his life.
Half, there is no need to be alone for the rest of his life. Xiaohan will grow up in the future and have his own family. How can he live alone for most of his life? "
Although she is old, her eyes are not blind. In this marriage, it is her daughter who is not good, and it has nothing to do with her son-in-law.
The son-in-law is only in his forties, talented and wealthy, and there is no need to live out his next life as a widower.
Everyone fell silent one after another.
It's really hard to say this.
Xue Heng may have been deeply hurt and has been unable to recover. In addition, his daughter is still young and cannot find time to do other things, so he has not found a girlfriend.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Ying couldn't help but add one more sentence.
"He... is probably worried that the stepmother will not love Xiaohan. This is not unreasonable. How many stepmothers in this world really love the children of their predecessors? Very few!"
Xue Ling sighed softly: "This is A Heng's own business, just let him decide. If he looks for it, we will support him. If he doesn't look for it, we will not press him."
When people reach their forties, they are older and younger. Coupled with the pressure of work, they have long lost the love impulse they had when they were young and vigorous.
It doesn’t matter if you find one or not, as long as you live a happy life.
Xue Heng probably thought so, so he simply didn't look for it, so as not to have more trouble with one more person coming in and out of the family, and to worry about whether his precious daughter would be treated coldly.
"My brothers and sisters are worried about this incident, so they are always unhappy." Xue's father whispered: "I have been making trouble with Zhilan for a while, saying that Zhilan doesn't care about his son's affairs and only cares about playing chess for fun.
.”
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "A Heng called me earlier and said that the two old people were quarreling again. Uncle Zhilan simply turned off his phone and ran away from home. He has not been found yet."
"This..." Father Xue shook his head and frowned: "Why are you making trouble?"
Mother Xue reassured: "It will be fine in two days. Zhilan is not a child, so there is no need to worry about him. He should have gone to relax and will probably come to live in the garden later. The weather is hot, and there is no need to worry about him at 11 or 12 p.m.
It’s not too late. Once we pick up the child, we’ll go back together and wait for him.”
More than twenty minutes later, everyone arrived outside the airport.
Xue Ling took a few old people into the waiting room and found the passenger exit to wait.
"Is it past ten o'clock? Are you there yet?"
Xue Ling took out her cell phone and dialed her eldest son's cell phone - it was still powered off.
She called Xue Yang's cell phone again - it was also turned off.
"It shouldn't be here yet, my cell phones are still turned off."
Father Xue squinted at his watch and said doubtfully: "Didn't it say ten o'clock? It's almost ten o'clock."
"It's okay." Xue Ling explained: "Long-distance flights can't be so punctual. Their takeoff was not delayed, and the landing shouldn't be too far off."
After waiting for another ten minutes, Xue Ling was worried that the elderly people could not stand for that long, so he asked them if they wanted to rest in a corner.
"No need! It's only for a while, my legs aren't sore!"
"You're not that weak anymore!"
Just then, Xue Ling's cell phone rang!
"Mom! We're here! We're waiting to pick up our luggage!"
Xue Ling smiled and said: "We are all waiting outside! Be quick!"
Several old people became excited.
Three or four minutes later, Xiaoxin was seen running out, cheering and shouting: "Grandma! Grandpa, grandma! Mom!"
"Wow! It's Xin'er!"
"Xiaoxin! My baby!"
The three young men behind were dragging, carrying, or carrying them, all of them with smiles on their faces, their brows and eyes full of youthful sunshine, and they rushed over one after another.
Two bodyguards each dragged a large suitcase and walked sideways.
After the noisy reunion, everyone filed out of the airport and got into the car one after another.
"Wow! The family car is more comfortable!"
"After flying for more than ten hours, I'm exhausted!"
"Grandpa, grandma, grandma, we bought you many gifts!"
"Mom! Where is dad? Why didn't he come?"
Xue Ling smiled and replied: "He is on a business trip and will be back in two days."
The whole car was filled with laughter and shouts one after another until we got off the highway and drove slowly towards Xinyuan.
"Hey, hey, hey! Look! That person... seems to be Uncle Zhilan!"
"What does it look like? It's obviously the case! Why is my uncle walking with a limp?"
