Xue Heng and Xue Huan were scolded and finally sobered up a bit.
"Sister Ling, what should we do now?" Xue Huan looked at his eldest brother's feet and whispered: "My brother can't go far away like this. But my mother seems to be very anxious, urging my brother to go south immediately.
.If I could persuade my mother...there would be no need to make this trip."
Xue Ling lowered her eyes and whispered: "Auntie's temper is like this, and in this situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to persuade her."
"Just hide it from her." Xue Heng suggested: "If she brings it up again, I'll tell you that I'm not feeling well and ask you to go look for her in the provincial capital."
Father Xue on the side disagreed: "Didn't Lingling just say it? You can't make the decision on your own, you must discuss it with Zhilan."
"Hiding it is not an option." Xue's mother gestured with her hands a few times and reminded: "We must untie your mother's heart knot, and the rest will be solved easily."
"Yes." Xue Ling agreed: "My mother is right. It has been so many years, but my aunt is still worried about it. If you really understand her, you shouldn't let her leave with regrets and disappointment. Untie
Wouldn’t it be better to let her leave with more relief from her knot in her heart?”
The two brothers Xue Heng looked at each other and both felt that this task was extremely difficult.
"To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell. My father has to persuade me about this. It would be better to tell my mother clearly in person. But... we are a little afraid to say it. What if my father supports my mother's approach - what will happen?
manage?"
Father Xue shook his head very confidently: "No, Zhilan won't agree."
"Really?" Xue Hengchi asked: "Uncle, how about - you tell us the truth. Did my father secretly make an agreement with that woman about the next life, and let my mother know about it secretly?"
Xue's father was extremely embarrassed and scratched Bai Xiuxu's sparse hair.
"How...how do I know this?"
There are some things that no matter how good or close the relationship is, you will never say it out loud.
Any mature and steady man would not say something like this casually. Zhilan is a very rational and wise person, how could he say something like this out of his heart.
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Since it was a private agreement, how could my father know about it? If it was really a private agreement, how could your mother know about it secretly? Could it be that aunt thinks too much?"
"Zhilan is not that kind of person." Xue's mother asked in a deep voice: "Do you suspect that your father deliberately leaked such things to let your mother know? Impossible!"
Xue Huan gave up with a guilty conscience: "...No. But my mother seems to think so. We are just guessing and don't dare to ask my father."
"Whether there is or not, Uncle Zhilan will never agree." Xue Ling whispered: "After Sister Cai passed away, she was buried here in the imperial capital. Brother Liao can't agree either. He and Sister Cai have a sincere relationship. He
A hundred years from now, I will definitely be buried with Sister Cai."
"Ask." Xue's father urged: "Ask Zhilan, wouldn't you know?"
Xue Heng and Xue Huan were extremely hesitant and whispered: "My father never talks about such topics with us. We...we can't ask."
"Let my dad go." Xue Ling pushed the dad next to him and said, "They are good brothers, and they are not afraid of embarrassment when they speak. We are different. We are all juniors, and it is not good for us to spy on our elders.
Traces of the heart.”
Father Xue looked left and right, not daring to nod in agreement.
"Just go." Xue's mother also agreed: "Zhilan is a traditional type of elder, with a very serious face. They are all juniors, and it is really difficult to ask Zhilan. You and Zhilan can talk about everything.
, just ask whatever you want to ask directly, and you won’t have to worry about whether Zhilan won’t tell the truth.”
"When?" Xue's father was suddenly entrusted with an important task. He intuitively felt that the responsibility was heavy, and he quickly started to organize: "Where is Zhilan? Is he still in the suburban sanatorium?"
Xue Heng looked happy and replied: "He...he is with my mother! Uncle, how about we pick you up and go there together?"
"No." Father Xue shook his head: "What if your mother overhears me? Your mother has a deep mind and doesn't like to speak truthfully——"
"Dad!" Xue Ling quickly interrupted his father and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense. Auntie just has such a temper. You can't blame her."
"I'm not surprised." Xue's father pouted.
Xue Heng and Xue Huan both smiled awkwardly and said that they were right.
"My mother is a reserved person, and she doesn't speak her mind easily. She is not only like you, but also like us."
"Although she is older and has no words of affection, she still loves my dad deeply. In fact, we guess she...she still wants to be buried with my dad in the future."
Mother Xue smiled and said: "This is finally right. They have been an old couple for decades and have experienced all kinds of storms. What is there to look forward to now? If I were your mother, I would forget it.
Even if you know, you have to pretend not to know."
"That's because you are smart!" Xue Ling held her old mother's arm and said with a smile: "How can ordinary people have such a powerful mind like you? After all, my aunt is more than ten years younger than you, so she can't compare to you.
!”
Mother Xue laughed heartily.
Everyone laughed.
Father Xue thought for a moment and said, "Well, you go and bring Zhilan to my place. I'll play chess with him, chat, and then I'll ask questions. I won't go to the nursing home."
Xue Ling added: "My dad is getting older now and is afraid of going to the hospital or a nursing home."
Since the elderly people said they would no longer have physical examinations, they no longer like to go to the hospital.
"Nonsense!" Xue's father laughed and scolded: "I don't want to go! Who said I'm afraid?"
Seeing that their uncle was willing to help, Xue Heng and Xue Huan quickly agreed.
"Okay, then we will find an excuse to pick up my dad later."
Xue Ling looked at Xue Heng's legs and said: "Stop running around, stay with your aunt, and quickly take care of your legs. I'll go with you. You can go whatever you are supposed to do. Uncle Zhilan asked me
Just be responsible for picking up and dropping off."
"Great!" Xue Heng said, "Then I'll leave it to my uncle and Lingling!"
Xue Huan was also very grateful.
Soon, the three of them set off.
Xue Huan drove his brother in front, Xue Ling and his bodyguards drove behind, and left the gate of Xinyuan one after another.
When it was almost noon, Xue Ling got out of the car, turned around, opened the door and helped Xue Zhilan get out of the car.
Father Xue was already waiting outside the garage on crutches and stepped forward.
"Zhilan! Why did you come here!"
Xue Zhilan hurriedly stepped forward, laughing and apologizing: "There's nothing I can do! I've been having a hard time getting around recently, my wife's energy isn't very good, and I'm too lazy to move, so I just stayed in the nursing home. As soon as Lingling said it, I
I know you must be missing me—I’ll follow you right away!”
