It was already evening when Cheng Tianyuan came back in a hurry.
He saw Xue Ling sitting in a wheelchair for no reason, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Ling understood that he was still scared and couldn't expose him. He asked with a smile: "Are you finished your business? Is there anything to eat? I'm already hungry!"
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go out to buy it immediately."
After speaking, he hurried out again.
Mother Xue couldn't understand what was going on, "Why didn't you buy it before you came in just now? Let's go!"
Xue Ling pursed her lips and explained: "He came back anxiously just now and forgot."
After a while, Cheng Tianyuan came in with dinner.
Halfway through eating, Dad Xue came, and his hand twisted a net of fruit.
Xue’s mother asked: “Old Xue, did you eat it?”
"I've eaten." Xue's father explained: "I ate in the factory, and dinner was a little earlier than usual today. The goods were just finished and the work was stopped at around 4 o'clock, so the canteen also opened early."
Mother Xue asked in confusion: "Are the orders finished? When will it be finished?"
"Didn't you say it all? It's four o'clock in the afternoon." Xue Dad said: "The last order has been completed. I asked Secretary Chen to inform you that the work will be suspended for two months. If the winter order is supplemented, I will notify everyone to come and go to work."
Mother Xue nodded, she said something if she couldn't say anything.
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "Dad, then Aheng... doesn't need to stop work, right?"
"No need for the time being." Xue's father replied: "At most, it's more than one month. If you don't take the green and yellow teams at this time of year, you will have to stop work. It's just that the peak periods at the beginning and middle of the year are missing, and the profit time is too short."
Cheng Tianyuan comforted: "It doesn't matter, just treat it as relaxing for a year or two. You can't keep tense too tight, as it will be too tired."
"Yes." Dad Xue laughed and said, "I comfort myself in this way. I'm not tired recently, but my heart is even more tired. Take the opportunity to take a break. I can also take some time to help you take care of your children."
But Xue's mother was still unwilling to accept her and whispered: "Old Xue, should we cut the price just like others?"
"Not good." Xue Ling glanced at his mother and said, "We would rather stop work than do things that hurt the reputation of the factory. Now our profits are very small, and the main reason is the cost and fabric.
.You get what you pay for, this sentence has always been the truth. If we cut prices, we either do things that we owe or use poor quality and cheap fabrics. Both of these are things that we cannot bear. Workers do in vain.
, We ourselves also lose money. How long can such a business last? That is deceiving ourselves. If we make cheap fabrics with poor quality and ruin the reputation of our factory's quality over the years, you will stop work again, leaving only a bad reputation behind it.
What's good about it?"
Mother Xue stopped talking awkwardly.
Dad Xue smiled and whispered: "What my daughter said is what I think. We must understand this principle. Let go of some things and let go of ourselves. We are all so old, it's time to retreat to the second line. Don't be tough.
If you can't hold on, you will fall down if you can't hold on, that's going to make people laugh!"
Cheng Tianyuan also felt that his wife's analysis was very reasonable and sighed: "Don't worry. There is no way out. There is a bright future in the dark. There is another village. This is life, and there will always be opportunities."
Dad Xue laughed and praised: "You young people are better and have a good mentality!"
Xue Ling put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Don't worry, I've said everything, I will help you hold on to the factory."
"Okay, okay." Xue's mother said with a funny look: "It's important to take good care of yourself! For us, the most important thing is the child in your belly."
"No hurry." Dad Xue squinted his eyes and said lazily: "Even if the factory no longer starts construction, your parents don't have to worry about being hungry in this life."
This is without doubt, but the family's property cannot be terminated here like this.
Xue Ling planned to discuss with Xue Heng quietly and not talk too much to the old man for the time being.
After a while, Cheng Tianfang and Xue Heng came and still brought a lot of bread.
Cheng Tianfang smiled and explained: "There was a pastry today, so I took a few pieces. Sister-in-law, remember to have some midnight snacks tonight."
"Okay!" Xue Ling couldn't help asking: "Why didn't my father and his two children come here this afternoon? Today isn't a weekend?"
Cheng Tianfang smiled bitterly: "Xiao Yangyang fell down this afternoon and fell below his knee. His father refused to let him run around, saying that he would bring them over when the wounds are scabbed tomorrow."
"Isn't it serious?" Xue Ling couldn't help feeling distressed.
Xue Heng shook his head: "Just a little bit of a small wound, how can it be serious? His father-in-law is cautious and dare not take him out for a walk around to avoid infection in the wound, so he didn't come here."
Cheng Tianyuan is a father, and he has always been hard-core as a father.
"It is normal for boys to stumble. If you fall a few more times, it won't hurt! Don't feel too sorry for your children, so as not to spoil them."
Cheng Tianfang whispered in a low voice: "Dad is also careful to sail the ship for thousands of years. The old man still feels psychologically stressed when he helps take care of the children. He is afraid that he will not be able to take care of them well, and will be criticized by you."
"No." Xue Ling smiled and said, "I think my parents are much better than me!"
After hearing this, Cheng Tianfang laughed.
Cheng Tianyuan secretly glared at his sister, and saw that there were too many people, he didn't speak anymore.
Xue Heng sat aside and saw it, secretly shrank his head. His wife was disgusted by her brother-in-law.
Mother Xue wiped her hands and came over.
"That... Ah Heng, why didn't your father come here today? Does he need to be on duty today?"
Xue Heng was stunned and shook his head: "I don't know! I haven't seen them go back for several days. Afang and I went to their dormitory to take a look. They now have fewer evening shifts, and they are basically all
Daily shift.”
"I'm old and can't stand the night." Dad Xue sighed and shook his head: "I'm old and I feel sleepy as soon as the sun sets. I sleep for a few hours like a dead pig, and then suddenly wake up. I can't sleep again when I wake up.
After all, stay up until dawn. If your parents are at their age, if they stay up late and can’t sleep during the day, they will definitely be in poor spirits. They can’t always sit in the night shift, and they can’t stand it up!"
"Yes." Xue Heng nodded: "I said that to them too. Fortunately, there are always young doctors in the hospital to replace and update. Young people have more night shifts, taking into account the elderly and family-friendly doctors."
Dad Xue stretched out and said, "You go and look for it. If Zhilan is in the dormitory, let him come and play two games of chess and drink tea with me. Anyway, it's only six o'clock now, and it's still early."
Xue Heng stood up and said, "Just go and look for me. Afang, please stay and chat with your uncle and aunt."
"Hey!" Cheng Tianfang smiled and called him, whispering: "Bring a few small pineapple buns for your parents, and you can make breakfast tomorrow morning."
Xue Heng took it with a smile, turned around and went downstairs.
Everyone chatted and waited, but unexpectedly they came back alone.
He frowned and explained, "Both of them are not here. I heard from the people in the dormitory next door that they had a quarrel in the morning, saying that they were very fierce. I went to the orthopedics and surgery department to find them. The people in the office said they were not on duty.
Not there."
Dad Xue asked, "Ah?", "Will you go back to Ronghua Mall? An old couple, what else can you make a noise?"
Xue’s mother, who was standing beside her, turned her eyes and muttered to herself: “You are old and your heart is not old…”
