It was late at night, and Xue Heng was so hungry that he was rumbled.
Xue Huan sat on the sofa on the other side, looking sad, holding his legs motionless.
Finally, Chen opened the door and walked out.
Xue Huan and Xue Heng quickly stood up and leaned forward and asked, "Mom, are you... better?"
Chen's face was a little bad, and she sighed softly: "I'm still a little dizzy. I'm hungry, so I plan to come out to find something to eat."
Xue Heng hurriedly said, "I...I'll go out to find something to eat."
Chen shook his head and stopped: "No need, let's see what else is delicious at home, just fill it with your stomach."
Xue Huan did not dare to speak and followed his brother.
Chen asked in confusion: "By the way, where is your father?"
"Dad hasn't come back after he went out." Xue Heng whispered.
Chen looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
"I haven't come back so late yet?! Where can he go?"
Xue Heng replied: "It should be going to Sister Ling Ling's house."
At this moment, the outer door was knocked.
Xue Heng quickly turned around and opened it- Cheng Tianyuan was standing at the door with his father helping him.
"Brother-in-law!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "Uncle and my dad and the others drank some wine, which was a little drunk. I thought that the lights were not light enough at night, so I'd better send him back and rest assured."
Xue Zhilan's face turned flushed and she smiled.
"I said everything, I was just a drink, not drunk. Ayuan just was worried and insisted on sending me back."
He walked in, staggered and almost hit the door bolt.
Xue Heng and Cheng Tianyuan were shocked and hurriedly supported him.
Chen said angrily: "You're not careful! Look at you! There's nothing serious at all! You're not drunk, you've already gone wrongly!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be angry. Tonight, my father-in-law and my father ate kebabs with kebabs. They had a happy meal and drank a little wine. It happened that Uncle Zhilan also came over, so they pulled him to eat together. 3.
People have companions, and they drink as they drink."
Chen smiled embarrassedly and whispered: "Ayuan, thank you! I'm either angry, I'm just... worried about him. It's a big night, fortunately I went to your house, so you can definitely take good care of him."
"Brother-in-law, thank you!" Xue Heng said.
Cheng Tianyuan stopped and said, "What are you thanking? You'll be here in a few steps. Let your uncle lie on the sofa first. Go and get a cup of tea for him to drink. If he doesn't vomit or something, you can help him to sleep."
"Oh!" Xue Heng nodded.
Chen hurried to the kitchen to make tea.
At this time, Xue Heng's stomach roared. Xue Huan, who was standing beside him, almost didn't eat dinner, and his stomach roared.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and asked, "Are you hungry? Didn't you go for a midnight snack?"
"I...we were just planning to cook some midnight snacks." Xue Heng whispered in awkwardly: "Isn't it very full for dinner? Isn't it all too late? I'm really hungry."
Cheng Tianyuan seemed to remember something and couldn't help asking: "Do you eat porridge? I have a pot of porridge at home. At night, my father and the others only drink alcohol and eat meat, and Ling Ling didn't eat dinner at home. After returning home, he took the children to bed.
There is still a pot of porridge on the stove at home that is warm."
"That's great!" Xue Heng whispered: "My kitchen has no ingredients. My parents prepared a lot of dishes in the afternoon, and they all cooked them, but there were no leftovers."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "You wait, I'll get it for you."
"No! Why are you bothering me again!" Xue Heng said: "I will accompany you to bring it to you, and I can't let you go for another trip."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "Then let's go!"
Xue Huan waved his hand and smiled: "Thank you brother-in-law, brother-in-law, walk slowly."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded slightly, turned around and left with Xue Heng.
The lights in the community were still bright, and the two were walking on the road, chatting quietly.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help asking: "Uncle Zhilan was not in a good mood tonight. Is something wrong at home?"
"I had an argument with my brother." Xue Heng said in a muffled voice.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled slightly and said, "It is inevitable that the family will be quarrels for a few bumps and quarrels. It's okay, everyone will be fine after sleeping tomorrow. Please ask Ah Huan to call him more dad and be more considerate of the old man."
Xue Heng nodded, it’s hard to say anything else.
The Cheng family has already gone to bed, and only a small light is left in the living room.
Xue Heng followed him into the kitchen and found a large casserole warming on the stove. There was indeed a pot of white porridge inside, which was sticky and hot, and the warm rice smell was strong, which made him salivate all of a sudden.
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Wait, I'll get you some pickles. This is what we just came here to dry. It started eating a few days ago. It's very crisp and delicious."
"Okay!" Xue Heng nodded quickly.
Cheng Tianyuan took a little braised pork and a bowl of pickles that he didn't eat for dinner, wrapped it in clean oil paper, and then covered it with a net bag.
"Okay, it won't be easy to fall off."
Xue Heng took two rags and picked up the casserole, took the net bag and hurried downstairs.
Cheng Tianyuan helped him press the elevator and said, "Go carefully."
Xue Heng smiled and nodded: "Brother-in-law, I'm leaving! See you tomorrow!"
After returning home, Xue Heng found that Xue Zhilan was much more awake and sat on the sofa and drank tea.
The mother and son sat down, some spooned porridge, some cut meat, some set up bowls, chopsticks and pickles, and soon formed a circle to eat.
Xue Zhilan looked at his wife and children who were eating happily under the light and smiled unconsciously.
"Suddenly I remembered something... Ah Heng was only seven years old that year, and your brother was four years old. In order to take care of you, your mother and I had to take turns to take night shifts at night and go home in the evening. At that time, the home and the hospital were not yet available.
The phone was so advanced, so your mother and I made an appointment in advance before going to work. That evening, the old aunt who was watching you hurried back to her home when she saw the time was up. Ah Heng and your brother were just
Eat a small bowl of soup to make your stomach, and then sit at the door waiting for me to go back to cook for you. Your mother was on night shift that night, and I could get off work early after the surgery in the afternoon. Who knew that the emergency came suddenly
A patient who was in a car accident urgently needed surgery, but unfortunately the attending doctor was an assistant, so he had to take me to help. I forced myself to do the surgery and found that it was already past twelve o'clock in the evening."
When Xue Zhilan said this, tears fell in his eyes.
"I suddenly remembered that you two brothers were still waiting for me to go home to cook, jumped onto the bicycle and rushed home. Unexpectedly, the snow was a bit heavy that night, the car slipped, and I fell. My leg was injured.
My ankle hurt so much, but fortunately I didn't hurt my bones after the examination. The place happened to be next to your mother's hospital. I jumped into the emergency room of the hospital and asked for some wounded medicine. At this time, a colleague of your mother recognized it.
I came and hurried to the rear to find your mother. Unexpectedly, your mother was sewing a patient and couldn't leave at all. When she finished her work, I had already left."
"I turned around and drove home with my bicycle. When I got home, the light was still on. You two brothers hugged each other and fell asleep on the sofa. I felt guilty and sad at the time, so I quickly put the door in a hurry.
Close it, cover you with a quilt, and go into the kitchen to make rice porridge. Your mother heard that I was injured in the middle of the night, so she was in the mood to continue working. She quickly asked her colleagues to help her take it over and hurried back."
