As the night progressed, Xue Yang took care of his business affairs, turned around and hurriedly went to take a shower.
When he finally came out from his work, several children had already gone to bed.
Wang Xiaoxiao was chatting with her parents in the small hall. When she saw him coming, she gave him a seat next to her.
"Is everything done? The children go to bed early tonight, and they don't need to be coaxed. I just said that they would go out to play tomorrow, and they immediately lay down in their own little beds."
Xue Yang greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law, sat down and held Wang Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Everything that needs to be done is done, we can have a good time tomorrow!"
Then, he introduced: "Dad, Mom, the weather is still a bit cold, so I have arranged a hot spring bath program for you. I have booked a large box with food and drinks. You can take a leisurely bath for most of the day."
Father Wang smiled lovingly and said warmly: "Everything is fine, everything is fine."
Mother Wang sipped her tea and smiled softly: "We took a bath in hot springs when we were young - at least we haven't bathed in hot springs for more than 20 years. This program is well arranged and I liked it as soon as I heard it."
"That would be great!"
Wang Xiaoxiao glanced at her husband sweetly and said to her parents: "Your legs are not very good. Bathing in hot springs can clear your muscles and bones, and it has a certain therapeutic effect on some old problems. If you like it, we can go there in two days
One more time."
"No." Father Wang shook his head: "I'll probably have to go back the day after tomorrow. We can't stay here for too long."
Mother Wang explained: "I have already withdrawn, but your father has not yet. The director of the Academic Affairs Office has arranged a class for him this semester, with twelve periods a week."
"Mom, do you want to stay a little longer?" Xue Yang suggested: "Anyway, my little sister is at home, and she will take good care of dad."
Mother Wang smiled helplessly: "Relying on her to take care of her? No way! She still has to rely on us to take care of her!"
"That's because you have pampered her too much in the past two years." Wang Xiaoxiao said coquettishly: "Now she is lazy when she comes home, reaching out for clothes and opening her mouth for food! She is spoiled by you!"
Dad and Mom Wang looked at each other and smiled.
"It's not that we pamper her, it's her who pampers herself. She said that before she gets married, she must enjoy the beautiful life in her mother's family. When she gets married in the future, she won't be able to be so free.
Already."
"She really knows how to enjoy it!" Wang Xiaoxiao joked: "The New Year is over, I will marry her off quickly when I get back!"
Dad and Mom Wang laughed.
"We hope she can get married soon! She will be left as a leftover girl in the family - the biggest headache is for us!"
Xue Yang couldn't help but curiously asked: "Mom, Dad, how is my little sister's boyfriend? I heard from Xiaoxiao that you are quite satisfied with him."
"It's not bad." The smile at the corner of Dad Wang's mouth faded, and he stroked the rim of the cup with his finger. "He is a local. His family is all civil servants, and so is he himself. The family is not very wealthy, but we know each other well."
Xue Yang smiled and said: "That's good! My younger sister is also a civil servant, so after getting married, she can live with her husband and her wife!"
"Alas..." Mother Wang suddenly sighed and whispered: "Maybe it's because we met on a blind date, but my younger sister always dislikes him for being too realistic. She even said that his whole family is very calculating."
"Plan?" Wang Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "What is he planning? The house that my younger sister bought is already in her name and is her pre-marital property."
"He also owns a house." Wang's mother explained: "His house is not only pre-marital property, but also in his parents' names. Even the car he drives is in his father's name."
"What do you mean?" Wang Xiaoxiao teased: "Afraid that we will take advantage of them? We haven't even gotten married yet, and we have already made such a loud calculation! You are really good at calculating!"
Father Wang scratched his hair and smiled bitterly.
"Nowadays, young people are very cautious when getting married. They ask all kinds of questions. Not long after we started dating, someone came to spy on me. This is a bad thing, and even the pension of both of us is worried.
Already."
Mother Wang put the cup down, sighed and smiled: "Isn't it? Today's young people are much more capable than we were back then. They consider everything comprehensively and don't fall behind in every aspect. It's really scary to be a young person!"
"The issue of pension?" Wang Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully: "What is he worried about? You all have pensions and retirement wages, so there is no need for him to worry about it."
Dad Wang shook his head: "These are not problems. He is worried that we only have one daughter at the moment, and he and his younger sister will have to bear a heavy support task in the future. He is the only child in the family, and his parents can only rely on him. Money may not be enough.
Problem, but in terms of time and care, I have to rely on him and my little sister."
Xue Yang told the truth: "Mom, Dad, if we take care of you on a daily basis, we will definitely not be able to compare with my little sister and the others. I can't brag about some things, but this is a fact. After all, we are far away, and distant water cannot save a close fire. In the future,
If you have a little cold or something, you will probably have to rely on my little sister and the others."
What he said was the truth, and Wang's parents knew it in their hearts.
Wang Xiaoxiao thought for a while and whispered: "You can tell him that the main task of taking care of them in the future is them, and we will try our best to help. Of course, we live here in the imperial capital, and they will work and live with you.
Your houses and belongings belong to them."
"The implication is..." Wang's mother explained: "Before they get married, these things must be made clear to you. It's best to talk openly."
"Of course!" Xue Yang nodded hurriedly: "When they decide to get married, Xiaoxiao and I will go over and interview them and explain everything clearly."
Father Wang frowned and whispered: "I'm always worried that he will make too many calculations..."
"Don't be in a hurry." Wang Xiaoxiao advised: "He and his little sister have just dated, so there is no need to worry too much for the time being. Whether it will work out in the end is not yet certain!"
Mother Wang disagreed: "Today's young people, whether they are in big cities or small counties, are all very realistic and shrewd. Either they don't get married at all, or they have to plan carefully if they want to get married. He is not the only one who is like this, other boys are similar."
"
"It's all like this." Xue Yang analyzed calmly: "The young people here in the imperial capital are all like this. They will be very cautious about houses and cars before marriage. They are worried that they will become marital property and may be divided up after divorce. Now, no matter how big or small it is,
Housing prices are very good in both cities and small counties. For most people, a house means half a life's savings, so they have to be careful. After all, the divorce rate is too high now, and divorce and property division are common. No one wants marriage.
If it fails, people will go bankrupt and families will be peeled off."
Dad Wang couldn't laugh or cry: "I really don't know if this is progress? Or is it regression?"
