In the evening, after getting off work, Cheng Tianfang discovered that the suite diagonally opposite was lit up with warm lights that she had not seen for a long time.
She was so happy that she didn't even bother to go back to her home first and hurried forward, "Dad! Mom!"
She slammed the door hard, and soon it was opened.
Ranran smiled and shouted: "Auntie!"
Cheng Tianfang rubbed his forehead and asked, "When did you arrive?"
Ranran replied: "I'll get home at noon!"
In the living room, Yangyang was playing chess with his sister. He raised his head and called "Auntie," then lowered his head and continued.
Xiao Chong and Xiao Xin were just playing on their own without any guidance from adults, so they didn't even think about saying hello.
Cheng Tianfang came forward, took Xiaoxin into his arms, and kissed her hard.
Xiaoxin resisted and shouted angrily: "Let go! Let go!"
Cheng Tianfang had no choice but to put her down.
Xiaoxin quickly jumped up to her brothers and shouted: "It's my turn! It's my turn!"
Cheng Tianfang looked at several children gathered together, and her heart instantly softened and she was so cute.
Women who have never been mothers, especially when they are older, are most likely to be touched by it when they look at their children.
At this time, Xue's mother poked her head out of the kitchen and greeted with a smile: "Afang is here? Have you had dinner? Let's stay and eat together later."
"Okay!" Cheng Tianfang smiled from ear to ear and walked to the kitchen, only to find that only her eldest brother was there, and her parents were not around: "Brother, where are dad and mom?"
Cheng Tianyuan did not explain the affairs of Ahu's family too carefully and said: "They hadn't reunited with Ahu's family for a long time, so they took a car there. Ahu was reluctant to let them go and wanted to keep them here for a month or two."
Their family's affairs are very complicated to talk about, and it's hard to talk about things like a child's abortion. The fewer people know about it, the better.
"Ah?!" Cheng Tianfang exclaimed: "How long will it take?"
Cheng Tianyuan said: "They are all our own people anyway, and Ahu is also filial. Since you want to keep them here for a while, then let's stay."
Cheng Tianfang couldn't help laughing and said: "I heard that Brother Ahu has been doing very well these days. He bought a luxury car and bought a building."
"Probably." Cheng Tianyuan said: "I heard from your sister-in-law that Ahu once had a monopoly on the jeans wholesale in two southern provinces. I guess he made a lot of money during those days."
Cheng Tianfang was very envious and tutted a few times: "You can still make more money by doing business!"
While chopping potatoes, Mother Xue looked up from time to time: "Afang, have you lost weight these days? Why do you look so thin on your little face?"
"Really?!" Cheng Tianfang said in surprise: "I am losing weight!"
Mother Xue frowned when she heard this. Like all old people, she doesn't like young people being skinny.
"Why lose weight? You look good when you are chubby! Don't imitate your sister-in-law, she is too thin. You are just the way you are, don't lose any weight."
Cheng Tianfang chuckled and said: "My sister-in-law looks just right like that. She's not fat or thin, but just a little bit thinner. I can't do it, I must lose weight. I had a triple belly a while ago, but
It scared me to death!”
Mother Xue shook her head: "I can't tell. As I say, you should eat when you need to, but don't starve yourself."
Cheng Tianfang explained: "I eat all three meals, but I don't dare to eat fast food, cola and the like. I eat less meat now, mainly eating more vegetables. I try to go to bed early at night so that I don't have to worry about my stomach.
I'm hungry and want to have a late-night snack. In addition, I now run in the morning and do housework and do sit-ups at night. Only by exercising can I really get rid of fat."
"Yeah!" Mother Xue looked at her waist and said with a smile, "It looks a little tighter."
Cheng Tianyuan was busy frying fish and asked: "The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, do you need to be on duty?"
"Yes." Cheng Tianfang explained: "A colleague of mine returned to his hometown and changed shifts with me. I will be busy in the next few days."
Cheng Tianyuan picked up the fish and said: "There will be just us three adults and four children tonight. There is a lot of food, so you can stay and eat more."
"Okay, okay!" Cheng Tianfang took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It smells so good! I don't eat meat, I want to eat more fish. By the way, has my sister-in-law gone to work? She only got off the plane at noon, why are you in such a hurry?
Going out?"
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't know? She went abroad with A Heng, and she set off there in the first year of junior high school."
I thought Uncle and Aunt Zhilan wouldn't keep it secret for too long and would tell her soon, but I didn't expect that she didn't know yet.
"What?!" Cheng Tianfang was startled and asked, "They went out together?!"
"Yes." Xue's mother explained: "I said I was going for fun and looking for new business opportunities at the same time. The day before yesterday, I called us from overseas and told us that I was going to come back for the Lantern Festival, but the snowstorm there was a bit heavy, so I planned to make a reservation in two days.
The flight tickets are back. The factory originally planned to start work after the Lantern Festival, but if they fail to come back, it will have to be postponed. The two of them are the ones making the decision in the factory. Without them coming back, work will not start."
Cheng Tianfang frowned and thought for a while, not knowing what he thought of.
"I - I thought Ah Heng was going out alone. It turns out that my sister-in-law was with him!"
Really, my sister-in-law, why didn't she tell me? She thought Xue Heng was avoiding her on purpose!
Cheng Tianyuan guessed her thoughts at once and lowered his voice: "A Heng was kicked out by you before and has been living here. You put on a bad face every day and refuse to forgive him. What can he do? In those days you
No one is seen every day, and your sister-in-law can't find you even if she wants to look for you. I have to go out on the day of the second grade of junior high school, and I have to look for you the night before departure, but you are sleeping soundly, so I can't tell you everything."
"Oh." Cheng Tianfang whispered: "Then he... just went on business."
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at her and whispered: "You know what you are asking. Has he taken the initiative to call you this time? There is no phone at your work? There is no phone at home?"
As a result, Cheng Tianfang fell into disappointment again.
"Well...I will apologize to him when he comes back."
Cheng Tianyuan listened and said nothing more.
Soon, everyone brought the dishes to the table.
When Xue's father came back from outside the house, Cheng Tianfang hurriedly greeted him.
The old man smiled and explained: "I just went to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law. They are also preparing to have dinner. Ah Fang, please stay and eat! Go over and tell your father-in-law and the others."
Cheng Tianfang said: "I cook three meals by myself now, and I don't eat with them, needless to say."
Dad Xue smiled and said: "You young people can cook whatever you like. You are free."
Cheng Tianfang nodded.
Mother Xue put her head around and asked, "By the way, is Xiaoyi going to give birth? Is it going to be soon?"
"Next month." Cheng Tianfang explained: "My belly has grown a lot in the past two months, and the doctor said everything is as normal."
Cheng Tianyuan shouted: "Mom and Dad! It's time to eat!"
Ranran and Yangyang took their brothers and sisters to wash their hands, and soon gathered around to start eating.
Xiao Chong and Xiao Xin need help from adults to pick up the food and take care of their food.
Cheng Tianyuan took care of Xiao Xin, while Grandma Xue took care of Xiao Chong while eating by herself.
Children don't understand the little things between adults. Yang Yang raised his head and said with a smile: "Auntie, I asked my mother to buy me a lot of foreign toys and biscuits. You asked your uncle to buy you a gift, do you have any? What did you buy?
?”
Cheng Tianfang's face turned slightly red and she whispered: "That... I haven't said it yet."
Yangyang said cheerfully: "Last time I ate a box of imported biscuits, they were delicious! You can ask your uncle to buy you something to eat! Buy biscuits too!"
"I've been thinking about eating all day long!" Cheng Tianyuan glanced at his second son and whispered: "Eat quickly and don't talk."
