"Well," He Xiaomei nodded and said nothing else. After waiting for a while, he raised his head and said to Sister Bai Jing, "Sister Bai Jing, please go back and rest early. Cheng Xiaonuo will come to accompany me in a while."
Just after He Xiaomei finished speaking, she noticed a person standing at the door from the corner of her eye.
He Xiaomei immediately looked at the door, because she didn't close the door when she entered the room before. She knew that Mommy would come to her room, so she didn't need to close the door.
"Cheng Xiaonuo." When he saw Mommy, his heart suddenly became excited, and He Xiaomei called out immediately.
"Well, Xiaomei," Cheng Nuo responded, walked in, sat down by the eldest daughter's bed, and said to Bai Jing, "Bai Jing, thank you for your hard work. Go and have a rest early. I'll stay with Xiaomei."
"Okay," Bai Jing replied. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind his wife and the little princess, "Madam, little princess, you should also go to bed early. I will leave first."
"Um……"
After Bai Jing left, He Xiaomei immediately got into her mother's arms and cried again. While crying, she said, "Oh... Cheng Xiaonuo."
"Xiao Mei," Cheng Nuo called his daughter and said, "Don't cry. My little Mei is very well-behaved."
After a pause, Cheng Nuo continued, "Your uncle and I never thought of it. We are also very sad, and your grandparents in the mansion are also very sad, but our whole family still has to accept the reality and accept it.
...the fact that your uncle passed away."
After saying that, Cheng Nuo continued, "So Xiaomei, do you understand what Cheng Xiaonuo said?"
"Yes, I understand." He Xiaomei responded.
But after waiting for a while, He Xiaomei said, "But I still miss my uncle, very much, wu wu..."
Cheng Nuo knew that his daughter couldn't control her emotions at the moment, so he simply stopped trying to persuade her and let her cry. Maybe if she cried, her daughter would feel better.
He Xiaomei cried for a long time, until her voice gradually became deeper and she was tired from crying, and she stopped crying.
"Xiaomei, are you feeling better?" Cheng Nuo asked his daughter.
He Xiaomei nodded and said, "Well, Cheng Xiaonuo, I want to drink water."
"Then you sit down obediently and Cheng Xiaonuo will go get you some water." Cheng Nuo said to his daughter.
"Um……"
He Xiaomei left her mother's arms and watched her mother go to pour herself some water. After her mother came back, she drank some water and felt better immediately.
Cheng Nuo put the water glass on the table next to him, then sat by the bed, took his daughter's hand, looked at her seriously, made sure that her daughter was in a better mood, and felt relieved, and said, "Xiao Mei
, you have been crying for so long tonight, you should feel a little relieved, right?"
"Well, Cheng Xiaonuo, I'm much better." He Xiaomei nodded and answered her mother.
"Well," Cheng Nuo also nodded and said to his daughter, "At your uncle's funeral tomorrow, Cheng Xiaonuo and your father hope that you can be a sensible child, so... you know what to do, right?
"
Hearing what Mommy said, He Xiaomei understood. She looked up at Mommy, nodded, and said, "Yes, I know."
"Cheng Xiaonuo also believes that little Meili will do well," Cheng Nuo continued what his daughter said, and finally explained, "Xiaomei, your emotions directly affect the emotions of your younger brothers and sisters, so Cheng Xiaonuo hopes that you can show your best performance tomorrow.
Okay, take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, and don’t let Cheng Xiaonuo worry about your father, you know?"
After finishing speaking, Cheng Nuo did not wait for his daughter's answer and continued, "There will be some relatives and friends at the funeral tomorrow. Your dad will receive them because your dad is the representative of our family, and Cheng Xiaonuo has to take good care of your grandma.
And your grandpa."
"They are all old and need Cheng Xiaonuo to take care of them. Cheng Xiaonuo will be very busy tomorrow, so he won't have much time to take care of you, Li Chen, Xiao Xi, Xiao Mei, Cheng Xiaonuo hopes you will take good care of them tomorrow.
Lichen and Xiaoxi, be a big sister." Cheng Nuo said to his daughter.
"Yes, I will, Cheng Xiaonuo." He Xiaomei nodded in agreement.
Seeing that his daughter's mood was much better, it seemed that she was back to her previous state, but there was no smile on her face. Even so, Cheng Nuo felt relieved.
"My little beauty has always been Cheng Xiaonuo's pride." When he praised his daughter, Cheng Nuo wanted to give his daughter more affirmation and confidence. He didn't plan to talk to her daughter anymore and said, "Are you tired? Cheng Xiaonuo will accompany you.
Go wash up and sleep with you later."
"Um……"
Cheng Nuo stayed in his daughter's room until her daughter fell asleep, and then left her room.
Returning to the master bedroom, Cheng Nuo saw that He Zikai had not come back yet and planned to go to his son's room to have a look. Didn't his son rest yet?
Turning around and walking out of the master bedroom, Cheng Nuo was about to go to his son's room when he saw He Zikai walking out of his son's room.
"Akai," Cheng Nuo hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is Lichen asleep?"
"Well, I just fell asleep," He Zikai replied, then took Cheng Nuo's hand and said, "Let's go back to the room."
Cheng Nuo nodded and walked to the room with He Zikai.
Returning to the master bedroom, the two of them lay on the bed after washing up. Although they felt very tired, they were not very sleepy because they had something on their minds.
"Nuoer, Xiaomei, is she in a better mood?"
Suddenly, Cheng Nuo heard He Zikai's voice.
"Well, it's much better," Cheng Nuo replied, and then said, "Xiaomei is very well-behaved and sensible. After I chatted with her for a few words and told her some truth, Xiaomei understood and knew what she should do.
Do?"
"Hmm..." He Zikai responded, not doubting his eldest daughter's sensibleness at all.
"Akai..." Cheng Nuo suddenly called out, poked his little head out of He Zikai's arms, and said, "Don't worry, kids. I'll tell Lichen and Xiaoxi tomorrow morning, and Xiaomei will take care of them."
If they have some, they will be very sensible."
I don't want him to worry about the children. He has a lot to do tomorrow and will definitely be very busy, so I can just take care of my parents-in-law and the children myself.
"Well, okay," He Zikai replied, staring at the little woman affectionately, and said, "Nuoer, I am very happy to have you by my side."
Her hard work and exhaustion have made me less worried and worried. I feel grateful to have her help, but at the same time... I feel sorry for her.
"I am also very happy, because you are by my side," Cheng Nuo replied to He Zikai, and looked into He Zikai's eyes. The affection in his eyes was definitely no less than that of He Zikai, and continued, "Ah Kai, we are a family, and I am yours."
Women, we face all things together, because we are always together."
"Well..." He Zikai nodded and hugged the little woman tightly in his arms again.
In the quiet night, after the two of them chatted about some things they should pay attention to tomorrow, He Zikai said to the little woman in his arms, "Go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow. It's already very late." (To be continued)
