Cheng Tianyuan poured them each a cup of hot water.
"Dad, Mom, drink some water."
"Thank you." Xue's father chuckled lovingly: "Ayuan, when your father is well, find time to go to the imperial capital with Lingling. Last time you came to propose marriage in a hurry and then left. I didn't have the chance to follow you.
You should have a good chat!"
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan glanced at his little wife and quickly looked away: "I do have this plan."
Xue's mother took Liu Ying's hand and suggested with a smile: "You and Mu Hai will come together then. Lao Xue and I will take you around and take you around the entire imperial capital."
Liu Ying smiled and nodded.
"Okay! We will go when his father's arm is healed and the weather gets warm."
She seemed to remember something, the light in the corners of her eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head and continued eating.
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling looked at each other and quickly guessed that the old man was thinking of his sister.
What the driver told Ahu, he didn't dare to hide it from the two old people, so he told them everything.
Lin Cong most likely took his sister to the imperial capital, but the specific place and where are unknown.
After dinner, Liu Ying went to the hotel to rest.
Cheng's father was still awake, and when the medicine in the IV bottle was almost empty, Cheng Tianyuan went to the nurse and replaced it with a full bottle.
Father Xue was chatting quietly with his daughter.
Mother Xue couldn't help but ask: "By the way, Lingling, doesn't Ayuan have a sister? When we separated, Aying had a big belly, and later gave birth to a little girl. She stayed in Chengjia Village and did not come over.
Bar?"
Xue Ling sighed and whispered: "She... ran away from home."
Xue's parents looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
"What's going on?"
Xue Ling explained to them about her sister-in-law, but she did not tell them Lin Cong's true identity, only that she was a man.
Xue's mother knew Lin Cong as a person and always remembered this old cousin. So she didn't want to add any extraneous details, so she said lightly that he was a man, thin and white, with the appearance of a scholar, but he had a rotten and colorful character, which would be deceiving.
Father Xue frowned when he heard this and asked in a low voice: "Then what are your plans? Have you looked for it?"
“I don’t know how to find her.”
, let’s see if we can get some news.”
Dad Xue took the initiative and said, "Write down your name and appearance. Do you have a photo? Give me one and I'll ask someone to help find it."
"Yes." Xue's mother explained: "We are all there, and we know a lot of people. Maybe we can find out the clues."
Xue Ling nodded and said, "There should be photos. I'll find them and send them to you."
Dad Xue whispered: "A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old has an undecided temperament and can easily be deceived. It is better to find the person first, determine how she is, and get the person back as soon as possible."
Xue's mother couldn't help but interject: "Maybe that man treats him sincerely. Today's young people still don't know how to make ends meet, so they keep talking about pursuing freedom of love and freedom of marriage."
"How is that possible?" Xue's father said angrily: "If he really treats the girl, he shouldn't do such sneaky things. If he really loves the girl, he will consider her reputation and come to propose marriage openly. The girl stole it
The money just ran away with him, what does that mean?"
Mother Xue also thought it was reasonable and said: "This man is probably irresponsible!"
Xue Ling sighed lowly and explained: "We are at our wits' end. We can only ignore it for the time being and bring my father-in-law over to fix the arm first. The doctor said that the dry and cold weather is good for the recovery of the wound, so it is not good to put it off again and again."
"Well." Xue's father never forgets to teach his daughter: "Everything must be prioritized. If you can't rush, you can only slow down. You have to take your time to find someone, but you have to find someone. After all, they are your own flesh and blood. How can you give up lightly?
The truth!”
When Xue Ling heard this, she felt sour and uncomfortable in her heart.
Her parents thought so, but at the beginning she... ugh!
At this time, Cheng Tianyuan came back with a hot water bottle.
"Dad, Mom, you and your wife should go back to the hotel and have a rest. I just saw that it's not snowing outside anymore. You should go back and have a rest as soon as possible. As long as I'm here to watch over dad."
"Okay then! It seems there's nothing we can do to help." Father Xue said, "Then you watch hard, we'll go over first."
Cheng Tianyuan got Xue Ling's coat, helped her put it on, and whispered: "Don't stay up late, go to bed early."
Xue Ling smiled and nodded: "I know!"
Xue's father and mother were waiting at the door. They looked at the young couple's loving expression, looked at each other, and smiled softly.
…
That night, Xue Ling worked as a translator alone in the hotel room and didn't go to bed until eleven o'clock.
Early the next morning, Cheng Tianyuan came back.
It must have been very cold outside. When he came back, there were even ice shards hanging on his hair.
He crept forward, took the hot water bottle to the toilet, poured some warm water to soak his hands, washed his face, and drank a large glass of hot water until his body was warm again.
Xue Ling was still sleeping, and he was reluctant to wake her up.
He kept vigil last night, but he only woke up twice. His father fell asleep the whole time. Except for helping him to go to the toilet halfway, there was nothing else to do the rest of the time.
The environment in the ward was very good, the heating was sufficient, and both father and son slept well.
On the contrary, the small hotel has no heating and is very cold.
His mother couldn't sleep much, so she went back to the hospital at dawn, saying that the ward was better and the heating was very warm.
He asked the old man to sleep a little longer, thinking whether Xue Ling would be too cold last night, so he came back with a heater.
Xue Ling was afraid of the cold, so she huddled up under the quilt. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply took off his coat and got into the quilt to keep her warm.
Xue Ling seemed to wake up in a daze, smelling the familiar scent on his body, and soon fell asleep again, not forgetting to rub his neck affectionately.
The corners of Cheng Tianyuan's mouth rose unconsciously, and he hugged the delicate body that was leaning over him, sleeping with her for a while longer.
When I woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
The two were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got up, brushed their teeth and washed, and were about to rush to the hospital.
When I opened the door, there was a note on the door - it was written by Xue's father.
He said that he and Xue's mother went to have breakfast first, and then went straight to the hospital and asked them to take their time.
Xue Ling smiled and said: "Don't worry, my parents have already passed by. Let's just eat and go in."
Cheng Tianyuan felt a little sorry and whispered: "Then let's go eat quickly."
The two went to the ramen restaurant opposite the hospital and had a bowl of hot ramen before going to the ward.
Father Cheng has woken up, and Father Xue is chatting with him. He seems to be in good spirits.
Mother Xue was chatting with Liu Ying while peeling an apple.
Dad Xue explained with a smile: "Zhilan came for a ward check just now and changed the dressing himself. He said that the wound was very good, which reassured us. In addition, other physical examination reports showed that Mu Hai's body was a little weak and his gastrointestinal condition was not very good.
He said he would take both aspects into consideration, and when his arm heals, he will try to improve his overall physical condition."
Cheng Tianyuan said gratefully: "Thank you very much, uncle."
