That night, Xue Ling looked at the clock on the wall and dialed Wang Xiaoxiao's number.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoxiao did not answer.
Xue Ling thought for a moment and called his second son. Unexpectedly, no one answered the call and the call was automatically disconnected.
Cheng Tianyuan came out wiping his hair and asked: "How is it? Have you contacted me?"
"No." Xue Ling secretly felt strange and analyzed: "We have been busy with Xiaohan these days, and we didn't notice that something was very wrong with the two of them. No matter how busy we were in the past, we would always have to race against time to video chat with the children. A few days passed in a flash.
There is no video of either of them, not even a phone call."
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Is there a quarrel? Or is one of them sick?"
Apart from these two reasons, Cheng Tianyuan could not think of any other reasons.
Xue Ling glanced at him helplessly and asked: "Is there no other reason? Can't you say something good?"
"...Will it be useful if I just say it?" Cheng Tianyuan asked funnyly: "How many more should I say it again?"
Xue Ling was amused by him and sat back on the sofa.
"How can a couple not have differences of opinion? It's normal for them to quarrel and have quarrels. However, having said that, it is really not easy for the young couple to be separated for a long time. When we flew here for vacation, who would have expected that an epidemic broke out in the imperial capital halfway, and all kinds of chaos followed.
The flight was cut off. The couple was forced not to see each other for more than half a year, which was really bad."
"The current situation is forcing us to do nothing." Cheng Tianyuan shrugged: "In the face of such a serious epidemic, everything has to be moved back. They are no longer children, and they should know how to adjust themselves. People in the past were lagging behind in communications. In a few years or more,
They were unable to return to their hometown, and there was even no news for decades. How did they survive? It was not just the thoughts and strong beliefs in their hearts. They can make video calls every day, what else do they want? Is it really that difficult? "
"You don't understand!" Xue Ling shook his head: "The times are different! The more advanced communications are, the fewer connections between people and the stranger the emotions."
Cheng Tianyuan was a little confused and asked: "What are you talking about?"
"No nonsense." Xue Ling explained: "Today's young people would rather talk to their mobile phones than talk to the people around them. Across the screen, each of them can be enthusiastic and affectionate. Once they meet in person,
All kinds of embarrassment and embarrassment. When I left, I expressed my reluctance to leave. I added my friend, email and phone number, and then forgot about it. I didn’t even contact him once or twice for several years. Times have changed, and emotions are not simple.
It’s more difficult to maintain relationships, and it requires more time and energy.”
Cheng Tianyuan still didn't understand: "If that's the case, then why did you invent a mobile phone? How could today's young people survive without various mobile apps?"
"That's definitely not possible." Xue Ling chuckled: "Don't say it's them, maybe even we can't adapt."
Cheng Tianyuan saw the towel thrown aside and sat down.
"How about we go back with a few children and reunite their families?"
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and thought quietly.
Cheng Tianyuan analyzed: "If we let them fly over to pick up the children, they would have to be quarantined for more than half a month. The second child is so busy with work now. I heard that he can't take time off for several days. How can he be quarantined for so many days at once and work?
Eighty percent of the time, she will be delayed. In addition, Xiaoxiao has already been quarantined once, so it’s hard to keep her quarantined again. Children can’t live without their parents, so it’s really hard to keep them separated from Yangyang for a long time.”
After hearing this, Xue Ling nodded slowly.
"I also think it's not good for their family to be separated for a long time. I heard Ah Huan say before that this disease is most fatal to the frail elderly, so young people or children don't have to worry too much. The domestic epidemic situation is currently under very good control.
The mortality rate is also extremely low.”
"Other families also have children and elderly people." Cheng Tianyuan said: "Don't you have to be careful to get through it? Let's guard the elderly here and send the four children back."
Xue Ling was a little worried: "We are all old, so it should be okay to lock them up for more than half a month. But the four children are used to being free, and if they are locked up for half a month all of a sudden, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it."
Cheng Tianyuan also hesitated: "It's really difficult. Although they can eat and dress themselves now, they are still children after all, so I can't understand why they are locked up. Yang Yang and Xiaoxiao are not around, so I'm afraid they will cry and make trouble.
.”
"The nanny must also be quarantined." Xue Ling said: "But one of us needs to help, at least one more person. In addition, the environment of the quarantine hotel must be better, where you can watch TV, and the place is spacious so that the children can have fun.
Space for play and activity.”
When Cheng Tianyuan heard this, he thought it was even more impossible and said: "You can quarantine wherever you want? How can you not! Since you have returned to the Imperial Capital, you must follow the rules of the Imperial Capital and cannot embarrass the epidemic prevention staff."
Xue Ling sighed in embarrassment: "This is difficult to handle."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and suggested: "Maybe we have to ask Xiaoxiao to come and take them back. She is the mother, and she has to take care of several children. Even if the environment is worse, the children should not be too noisy."
"Let's discuss it again." Xue Ling said: "Perhaps we can go to our villa in the suburbs for isolation and let staff from nearby communities be responsible for testing every day, or we can do the testing ourselves."
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "How about discussing it with Ah Qing? He may have a way to arrange a better place."
Xue Ling nodded: "Okay, let's ask him later. We still have some vacant places in our house. We can have people clean them up immediately. We can move in in a day or two, so we don't have to worry about having no place to isolate. The main thing is cooperation.
, I’m afraid someone needs to help arrange or coordinate it.”
"Let Ah Qing make the arrangements." Cheng Tianyuan stopped: "We haven't been in the imperial capital for a long time, and we don't understand the epidemic prevention regulations there, so as to avoid making arrangements that won't work in the future. It doesn't matter to us adults, the key is that the four children have to suffer."
Xue Ling felt it made sense and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let Ah Qing make the arrangements. Anyway, Ah Heng and Xiao Han are planning to go back in the next few days. Why don't they go back together and quarantine together so that they can be taken care of."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and asked, "How about I accompany you there and you stay to take care of the elderly."
"No." Xue Ling shook his head: "You stay, I will take the children back. I always feel that there is something wrong with Lao Er and Xiaoxiao, and I have to catch them to sort it out."
"Okay, then you better go ahead." Cheng Tianyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not good at this... I'm not good at it."
Xue Ling urged: "You go take a shower, let's go to bed early tonight."
"It's washed." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Even the hair is almost dry."
Suddenly, there was an anxious knock on the outer door!
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows: "Who is it? It's so urgent!"
Cheng Tianyuan said disgustedly: "I probably won't be able to go to bed early tonight."
As expected, the person who came immediately shouted: "Dad! Mom! It's not good! Yangyang is asking a lawyer to draft some kind of divorce agreement!"
