"Really?! Where is it?" Chen quickly rummaged through the suitcase.
Xue Heng had no choice but to squat down to help and explained: "Tonics are for Xiaoyi's health, one necklace is for you, one is for aunt, and one is for Ah Fang. They are all the same style, very novel and beautiful."
Chen asked: "Golden one?"
Xue Heng shook his head: "It's platinum with some small diamonds. It looks bright and shiny."
He found it quickly, handed one to his mother, and took another and handed it to Xue's mother.
Mother Xue refused to accept it and said with a smile: "How can this be good? It's too expensive! You can keep it for your wife."
Xue Heng glanced at her displeased and whispered: "Aunt, when did you and uncle go out without bringing me a gift? You always love me the most, how could you not give me any chance to show your filial piety!"
"This - then I'm not welcome." Mother Xue took it: "Thank you! When you make a lot of money in the future, then you can buy gifts for everyone."
"Hey!" Xue Heng took a long breath and said, "I hope it can be successful in the next six months."
Dad Xue became more energetic and asked curiously: "How long will it take? To what extent?"
Xue Heng explained: "We have already negotiated the price with the other party, but we still need to consult the laws and regulations here for details. We only need to buy the patent and drawings from the other party and produce the machine ourselves."
Xue Ling smiled and said: "Come back for consultation first, and then go to sign the contract and get it back."
"Can't we produce the machine there?" Xue's father asked, "and then transport the machine back?"
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "Dad, do you think you are in your own country? Foreigners are now more advanced in technology than us, and they always have three defenses against us. It is not easy for us to quietly buy private patents and drawings.
If you want to carry someone else's machine out of China in a big way, you don't know how much trouble it will take. Friends from the embassy told us that buying a machine is temporarily impossible. Unless you buy someone else's second-hand and obsolete old machine, you can install it yourself when you return to your country.
build."
"I originally wanted to buy an old machine, but Lingling refused." Xue Heng explained.
Xue Ling shrugged: "Those old machines are twenty or thirty years old, and you still buy them from others? If we want to do this, we need something advanced. If we tinker with some old machines, we will lose our competitiveness within a year or two."
.I would rather spend more money at once, advanced technology is the ability and confidence to make money in the future."
Father Xue nodded in approval.
Mother Xue on the side shook her head and sighed: "The food in foreign countries must not be very good! Look at you two, you are both hungry and thin."
Xue Heng acted coquettishly: "It tastes terrible... At first, the hotel we stayed in was very good, and the food was pretty good. Then a snowstorm came, and the food - it's hard to describe. Except for milk and some hard bread, it was cold and hard.
It hurts my teeth."
"I'll give you a good supplement!" Mother Xue said with a smile: "A Heng, aunt has made your favorite fried pork ribs!"
Xue Heng immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Thank you, Auntie!"
Mother Xue quickly got up and went to the kitchen.
Cheng Tianyuan spooned a bowl of chicken soup with a chicken wing on top and handed it to Xue Ling.
"This is the old hen stewed in the afternoon, eat it slowly."
Xue Ling giggled and hurriedly picked up the food and ate it.
"Brother! I want it too!" Xue Heng shouted: "How can you be so partial!"
Cheng Tianyuan said with a smile: "It's already ready, why worry!"
Xue Heng laughed happily.
The two of them ate a bowl of chicken soup and fresh chicken, both looking satisfied.
Xue Heng sighed: "It feels like... I finally came to life."
"Idiot!"
Xue Heng leaned on the sofa tiredly and fell asleep.
Father Xue put on his coat and went to the kitchen to help.
Several children were playing with building blocks bought by their mother in the room, and excited laughter could be heard from time to time.
Xue Ling was also exhausted. He went back to the room, changed his clothes, washed his face, leaned on the edge of the bed and fell asleep.
Cheng Tianyuan felt sorry for her that she was very tired and helped her close the door.
Mrs. Chen helped carry the luggage and went back, "I'm going to cook dinner. Zhilan and Ah Huan are probably off work."
Father Xue warned: "A Heng is sleeping too deeply, so don't call him to eat. We will leave some food to keep warm so that he and Ling Ling can eat when they wake up."
Chen apologized in a low voice: "Would it be too much trouble...?"
"What are you talking about?" Xue's father said, "Afang will be here soon. You tell her and ask her to stop cooking and come over to eat together."
Mrs. Chen smiled, nodded, and left.
As night fell, several children ate biscuits and snacks and were not hungry. Mother Xue prepared several bowls of millet porridge and asked them to eat one bowl each.
Father Xue smiled and said: "The weather is getting warmer and the wind is not blowing anyway. I will take the children downstairs for a walk in the mall and take a few laps."
"There are so many children that one person can't take care of them." Xue's mother said, "I'll go down with you."
They took the children downstairs.
Cheng Tianyuan drank two bowls of porridge and ate some meat, then put away the dishes and washed them.
At this time, the door was pushed open.
Cheng Tianfang hurriedly walked in without taking off her coat and purse.
The next moment, she was stunned.
She looked at Xue Heng anxiously and saw that he was much thinner. He was lying on the sofa and snoring softly, and she couldn't react for a while.
He...is really back?!
He finally came back.
She felt sad without realizing it, and her eyes quickly filled with tears.
After watching for a long time, she walked quietly to the kitchen.
Cheng Tianyuan saw her and asked: "Have you finished get off work? Have you had dinner? There is porridge and chicken soup on the stove."
Cheng Tianfang shook his head: "I don't have any appetite. Brother...when did they arrive?"
"Evening." Cheng Tianyuan replied, "It's been more than an hour."
Cheng Tianfang's eyes were red and she whispered: "He didn't even say a word."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "The signal abroad is not as good as ours. When your sister-in-law calls back, it is always intermittent."
"He... what did he say?" Cheng Tianfang swallowed more: "He wants to stay here, right?"
Cheng Tianyuan's eyes flashed slightly: "He didn't say anything. He was just too tired and slept here."
Cheng Tianfang wiped her tears and whispered: "I understand... He is still angry with me."
If he wasn't still angry with her, why didn't he even have a phone call? She was either at work or at home. There was a phone at home and a phone at work.
If he wants to contact him, even if the signal is not good, it is impossible for him to have no signal for more than 20 days!
It’s obvious that he doesn’t want to contact her!
He came back, but he didn't want to go home. He would rather sleep on the sofa with his parents than go home to sleep.
My home is only a few steps away from here. No matter how tired I am, is it only such a short distance away?
Cheng Tianyuan wiped his hands, spooned a bowl of millet porridge and handed it to her.
"Wash your hands and sit down to eat. He must be angry. Can't you go back and apologize to him? I heard him say that he bought three necklaces, one for you and one for your mother-in-law and my mother-in-law.
If he is really so angry that he doesn't want to care about you, why would he buy you a gift?"
Cheng Tianfang was startled when he heard this, and quickly regained some of his smile.
"Really? A necklace bought from abroad?"
Cheng Tianyuan nodded.
Cheng Tianfang's mood improved a lot and he hurriedly lowered his head and ate the porridge.
Quickly, she put the bowl down.
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "Do you want more? There is still a lot more in the pot."
"No." Cheng Tianfang explained: "I am losing weight and don't want to eat too much at night."
She sat in the kitchen and waited for more than ten minutes. Unfortunately, Xue Heng was still sleeping soundly and showed no sign of waking up.
