With Cheng Tianyuan helping to cover up, the others were busy taking the child and didn't come here to disturb her "sleep", so they didn't notice it.
In the evening, Xue Ling told her mother-in-law not to prepare dinner for them.
"My former leader, Director Liu, came. He lives downstairs. Ayuan and I plan to go downstairs to have a meal with him. We will take the two children down there and say hello."
The mother-in-law was a little worried and whispered: "You are still in confinement, so it's not easy to blow the cool breeze."
"Not afraid, just downstairs, we'll eat in the private room." Xue Ling smiled and said, "It's rare for them to come here, so you can't even meet."
Seeing that she was in good spirits, Xue's mother agreed to think that she hadn't gone far.
"Sister Ying, just go if she wants to go. Anyway, with Ayuan accompanying her, the two children are grown up, so you don't have to worry about taking care of food and drinking, it doesn't matter."
Liu Ying had no choice but to agree.
Zhu Achun hugged Xiaoxin and breastfeeded her, reminding her with a smile: "Mrs. Liu, Mr. Cheng said he wants to have porridge tonight, so you have to remember to prepare."
"Yo!" Liu Ying said: "I didn't cook porridge, I just cooked rice tonight."
Zhu Achun smiled: "That doesn't matter. I haven't cooked it yet. I'll cook it for two more bowls in a while and just bring it over."
Liu Ying smiled and said, "Then let's just say that. They won't stay at home to eat it tonight. There is too much beef sauce. You can take a piece to eat with Xiao Tietou later."
"Not good, no," Zhu Achun whispered: "Two bowls of porridge are not worth the money. Beef is a rare and expensive meat, how can I be embarrassed to take such a big advantage."
"Don't say that." Liu Ying said: "Ayuan and his family don't eat it, and it won't be fresh until tomorrow. Don't be too polite, just treat it as helping to eat it."
Zhu Achun had no choice but to respond.
That evening, Cheng Tianyuan came back early and bought two cigarettes, two kilograms of tea, as well as some authentic bacon from the imperial capital.
"Old Liu is leaving tomorrow, so he has to bring some things from the imperial capital back."
Xue Ling nodded: "Okay, you can arrange it. By the way, he took the train back. You will take him to the train station tomorrow. Although there are food on the train, it is relatively expensive. Lao Liu is a frugal person, probably
You can only buy big steamed buns and go to Jingpu. You can buy some bread in Afang's store so that he can cushion his belly on the train."
"Finish!" Cheng Tianyuan smiled: "I'll buy him more packaged snacks, which can be eaten as soon as it is opened, which is very convenient."
He has always been considerate in his work, so Xue Ling didn't need to remind others, and led his two sons downstairs together.
Lao Liu was waiting for them in the room. Seeing that Ayuan had brought so many things, he kept shaking his head and saying that he could not accept it.
"I came here in a hurry this time. I was thinking about the girl's work and didn't bring any souvenirs at all. I really feel sorry for your enthusiasm."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled: "When I was in Rongcheng, you often took care of my wife. She kept muttering about you. This is all for you, you must accept it."
"That's it!" Xue Ling blinked: "I'm starting to be short of money now. I can still afford this little thing. Just give me and my husband a face!"
Old Liu tsk twice and had to accept it.
Both children shouted well, "Grandpa Liu!"
Old Liu hurriedly took out two small red envelopes from his pocket and said with a smile: "This is for you to grow up quickly! Take them all!"
Ranran and Xiao Yangyang dare not meet.
Xue Ling chuckled: "Take it all for grandpa, I want to thank you."
The two of them smiled happily, and went up to each of them to take one, "Thank you Grandpa Liu!"
Old Liu doesn't have a grandson yet, and he is so happy to see his two children being cute and well-behaved.
Cheng Tianyuan had already gone to the hotel to explain a large table of dishes, "I was afraid that you would not be used to the tastes of the north, so I specifically asked the masters from the south to make them."
Lao Liu thanked them and ate and chatted with them.
The two children ate slowly and were playing with laughter.
Cheng Tianyuan toasted Lao Liu and asked, "You just came, why are you leaving? You should stay for a few more days so that we can do our best to the landlords."
"You're welcome." Old Liu sighed: "The daughter at home is disobedient and came to see her. She has taken me to a lot of places, so she has had enough fun. She sent me a train ticket earlier.
, The car will be at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow."
After hearing this, Cheng Tianyuan said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you to keep. But next time I come here, I will come to our side immediately."
"Thank you!" Old Liu smiled and said, "Absolutely! Absolutely!"
Cheng Tianyuan said again: "I have nothing to do tomorrow at noon. I will take you to the train station. This place is a bit far from the suburbs, and it takes about half an hour to drive. It is inconvenient for you to twist your luggage and transfer the car. I'll just take you there."
Old Liu hurriedly said, "Just send my daughter to me. It's too troublesome to you."
Xue Ling frowned and shook her head: "If I'm out of confinement, I will definitely give you my own gift. My husband wants to give it to you, so you nodded. Anyway, I have a car at home and I will be here soon."
Lao Liu had no choice but to agree.
After eating this meal for an hour, the two children took the elevator back to the 18th floor after they were full, while the three adults talked about this and that, and they were reluctant to leave the seat.
Xue Ling thought for a while and asked, "Is Liu Xing okay?"
"Okay." Lao Liu explained: "After he returned to the newspaper office, I found an opportunity before retirement and arranged for him to become the editor-in-chief. The salary was higher and he was more confident. He went to the photo studio to help on weekends and went to Tong to help That handsome guy is also very good. Two years ago, I introduced him to a partner, who is also an employee of an organization. He is in his thirties and is widowed with a girl of four or five years old. A few months later, They got married. Liu Xing loved the little girl very much. He took her to kindergarten before work every day and picked her up after get off work in the afternoon. He took the little girl to play on weekends in the morning and evening. During the summer vacation, he also took a few long holidays to accompany his wife back with him. I went to my parents' home. Now the family of three is happy and happy. My parents still live alone in the old house and are in good health."
Xue Ling nodded: "That's good."
Old Liu smiled and said, "He has always been very grateful to you. Every time he talks about you, he always praises you. He still feels very guilty towards Wang Qing."
Xue Ling waved his hand: "Don't mention the past. If you meet him, you will tell him that when you have time, come to the imperial capital, come here to find me, we are still friends. If I have time, I will go back to Rongcheng and I will also find him.
Their old colleagues drank and reminisced about the past.”
"Okay!" Old Liu smiled and said, "That's how people have to do it. Let the past pass and welcome the new future with ease."
When he returned home after drinking, Lao Liu couldn't help but hold Xue Ling back again.
"Xiao Xue, you have to remember what I said to you at noon. That girl is unfamiliar with a hard temper. If she comes to her, she will probably be the end of her journey. I am far away, far away from her.
If you can't save the near fire, you will definitely not be able to help. You are capable and have many places now, so you will naturally have many ways. If she comes here, give her a hot meal. If it is not illegal or moral, please help if you can
Just a little bit. If she is not good, you just hit her out with a blow!"
Xue Ling nodded and whispered in a state of emotion: "I understand the hearts of parents in the world. Don't worry, I remember them all in my heart."
At noon the next day, Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling came down to see Lao Liu.
When Lao Liu saw that they had bought a lot of food for him, he could only accept it with a smile, "I don't thank you for your kindness, I'm greedy to accept it."
Xiao Liu, who was beside him, had red eyes and whispered: "Dad... don't you really need to give it to you?"
"No need." Lao Liu replied: "Call your brother to report his safety during the New Year and go back when you have time."
Then, he waved his hand to Xue Ling and got into the car.
