Snowflakes were flying outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and a thick layer had already accumulated.
Xue Ling looked at the rustling snowflakes outside the window and stared blankly. She was the only one sitting in front of the stove in the empty living room. There was no earlier lively and noisy joy, and only the cold loneliness of the room was left.
"Wife." Cheng Tianyuan came over, held a glass of water in his hand, and handed it to her: "Come on, have some drinks."
Xue Ling took a sip and asked, "Have you all taken a break?"
"I'm all asleep." Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "I just went to see them. The temperature in the house was just 26 degrees, and the humidifier was on. Today, the house was lively. The old man might not have slept much at noon and he was lying down for a while.
I fell asleep."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "There are constant surprises during the day, and I was shocked at night - today is indeed very lively."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled helplessly: "We have been walking most of our lives, and we find that there are always unexpected accidents on the road."
The couple roasted the fire, drank water, looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and chatted softly.
After a while, Cheng Huanchong came.
"Dad and mom, it's past twelve o'clock, go to bed quickly."
Xue Ling smiled slightly and asked, "Why didn't you sleep? Have you arranged for Ah Qing and the others to rest?"
"All have been arranged." Cheng Huanchong looked out the window and said, "This snow is so heavy, how can I go out? He... he slept with me and arranged another room for bodyguards and assistants. They usually take turns to serve night time."
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but remind: "The home security system is OK, it's not necessary to stay at night. For the New Year, let them all go to rest."
"I've said it all." Cheng Huan Chong explained in a low voice: "However, they decided to take turns to watch. They were used to it and dared not relax at all."
"That's right." Cheng Tianyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No matter how safe the security system is, it cannot withstand the unruly hearts of the people. Be more safe, and you must not let Aqing have any more accidents in our house."
Cheng Huanchong quickly shook his head, stepped forward and put one hand on his father's shoulder and the other hand around his mother.
"You must not feel guilty or apologized. Ah Qing did not blame you at all. He didn't care at all, otherwise he wouldn't stay there. He also said that in the future, Xinyuan must call such a lively event.
Go to him.”
It was late at night, and the snow outside suddenly became heavier again, swaying down, rendering the originally dark earth white.
Lin Qingzhi used the excuse to say that the snow was too heavy and he wanted to stay overnight. He refused at first, saying that no matter how heavy the snow was, it would not stop his high-end nanny car.
But he said that if he left in a hurry, his family might be worried that he would be worried about the earlier accident. If he stayed for one night or even continued to stay in Xinyuan for the New Year tomorrow, everyone would believe that he was real.
Don't mind.
He said so, and Cheng Huanchong couldn't drive him away anyway. He had already planned to let him come to the house to walk around more, so it would be a short while.
Xue Ling smiled softly and said warmly: "Aqing is a young man who is very considerate and good at taking care of others' feelings. You tell him that he will continue to invite him whenever he has his own family gatherings in the future."
"He must be very happy!" Cheng Huan Chong smiled and said, "He likes the lively family atmosphere in our house the most, and I feel envious."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and whispered: "That's because there are few people in his family and the place is too spacious. When he gets married and has children in the future, there are many family members. Maybe he wants to find a place to stay in leisure. Ah Qing should have been a love
A noble young man who loves reading quietly."
Forehead?
Cheng Huanchong found that the topic could not continue, so he said good night to his parents and quickly went back to his room.
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan were really not sleepy and sat in the living room waiting for news.
After midnight, Xiaohuzi called and said that his father-in-law was rescued in time and had been out of the danger period. However, the doctor asked him to stay in the hospital for two days to observe to ensure that no other physical harm was caused before being discharged.
Xue Ling breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What will you arrange?"
"The old man has been asleep." Xiaohuzi replied: "I asked Brother Ran and Yangyang not to stand here and go back to rest quickly. It is not good to squat in the hospital for the New Year. Brother Ran's friends are very proud of their face and specially arranged a plan.
There is a high-end ward with plenty of heating and a sofa inside to sleep. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with me, just stay here, don't come and grab the sofa to sleep with me."
Xue Ling said in a gentle voice: "Okay, then you can stay and take care of it. I will ask their buddies to take turns to help tomorrow."
Xiaohuzi answered and then hung up the call.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Huzi didn't ask what's going on here? Didn't we ask if we checked the surveillance video?"
Xue Ling smiled and shook her head: "He didn't ask, that's because he believed that if something went wrong, we would definitely give his father-in-law and mother-in-law an explanation, so we didn't have to ask."
Xiaohuzi has always been very skilled and has become more and more steadily in doing things.
"He doesn't need to ask what happened on our territory, we will naturally handle it."
Cheng Tianyuan sighed softly and suggested: "Wife, why don't you go in and sleep first. I'll wait for the eldest and second brother to come back here."
"Let's go together." Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "I don't feel sleepy at all."
As they get older, if anything happens, no matter whether it is a big or a small matter, it will seriously affect the quality of sleep. Although today's incident has not made a big deal, they were all scared, especially when they saw Shan Yue shouting, they had no reaction.
He looked unconscious and was really frightened.
Cheng Tianyuan brought two bowls of leftover sea cucumber soup from the big dining room and placed it on the insulation stove to warm it.
Xue Ling slowly ate melon seeds and watched TV lazily.
More than half an hour later, Xue Yang brought his elder brother back.
"Huhh! It's very cold outside!"
"Dad, mom, why haven't you slept yet? It's already past one o'clock."
Cheng Tianyuan greeted, "Drink a sip of warmth, warm your body, and then go to bed."
The two took off their down jackets, sat down to drink soup, and discussed with their parents.
Xue Yang frowned slightly and lowered his voice: "Dad, mom, Xiaoxiao has told me about this. She and I are so sorry. I had already talked to Xiaohuzi just now, and he said don't be too embarrassed.
It was said that Xiaoxiao's sisters needed medicine to help her sleep, but accidentally dropped one in the bird's nest. Unfortunately, she was eaten by her uncle, which was just a misunderstanding. He also said that neither his father-in-law nor his mother-in-law were fuel-efficient lamps.
If you know the actual situation, you might have to make trouble. Xiaohuzi doesn’t want Xiaoxiao and I to make things difficult, nor do you want to make a big deal, so he plans to explain this way.”
"Oh?" Xue Ling nodded slowly and asked with a smile: "What have you discussed?"
Cheng Huanran drank the last sip of soup and smiled: "They even agreed to the subsidy for Uncle Shan's nutritional expenses."
Xue Ling and her husband looked at each other and turned to their second son.
"100,000." Xue Yang waved his fingers and whispered: "Give it a little more, after all, something big happened almost. I don't want Aunt Shan to be arrogant and unrestrained. Xiaoxiao and I will go to the hospital to apologize to Uncle Shan.
We will pay the money... It's also our money. Dad, mom, try not to let my father-in-law and mother-in-law know about this. We are all keeping our mouths tight, okay?"
