At this time, Cheng Tianyuan walked down holding his Nokia phone.
"Uncle Chang, I've already made the call."
Chang Bo nodded in agreement.
The village chief didn't stay too long. After chatting with A Yuan for a few words, he clasped his hands behind his back and walked slowly out of the villa.
Cheng Muhai and Chang Bo went to the yard outside to continue working on the grass.
After Xue Ling had breakfast, she suggested taking the children out for a walk.
"Find something interesting to do, otherwise they will always find it boring."
Cheng Tianyuan said with a smile: "Then we have to wait until they get up! Everyone is still sleeping in!"
After a while, Xue's father and mother led Xiao Yue downstairs.
Xiao Yue chattered non-stop, his little face full of excitement.
Mother Xue fed him breakfast.
Xue Ling came forward and said: "Mom, I'm full, you go and eat. Xiao Yue, my aunt will feed you some porridge, okay?"
"No!" Xiao Yue muttered: "I like grandma."
Xue Ling smiled and coaxed: "If it's my aunt who feeds me, we can go out to play after feeding."
"Okay!" Xiao Yue immediately became excited: "I want aunt to feed me! I don't want grandma!"
"Baby!" Mother Xue scolded with a smile and turned to eat breakfast.
Cheng Tianyuan had sharp eyes and suddenly realized that his father-in-law was not in good spirits.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Did you not sleep well last night?"
"Yes." Father Xue smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's a strange place. I didn't sleep well these two nights and kept waking up from time to time."
Mother Xue scolded and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, it seems too pretentious. When you travel, which place you live is not unfamiliar? Don't you sleep well?"
Father Xue shook his head: "I don't know... I don't seem to be able to sleep well this time."
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling looked at each other, secretly worried.
"Dad, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Are you dizzy?"
Dad Xue still shook his head: "It's okay, I'm not dizzy. The old man is getting older and can't sleep as well as before. It's just a normal problem, don't make a fuss about it."
"Dad, when you went to the hospital for a health checkup two months ago, the doctor didn't say anything, right?" Xue Ling asked.
Xue's mother was the first to answer: "No. I guess your dad was a little tired from running the day before yesterday, so he couldn't sleep well."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded in agreement and explained: "The day before yesterday, we drove early in the morning to catch a flight, and then we didn't have much rest when we got to the provincial capital. After lunch, we went straight to the county town, and then transferred to Chengjia Village. After a long journey back, the younger ones of us were almost in trouble.
I can’t bear it, let alone you old people.”
Xue's mother suggested: "Another reason may be that we have been accustomed to living in a heated room recently, but suddenly changed to one without heating, and we are not used to falling asleep at night. If you sleep more in the past two days and don't wander around, you should be fine."
"There is no need to go anywhere." Dad Xue said with a smile: "Last night, we couldn't book a flight to South Island for three days, so we can only postpone it to five days. These days are enough for us to rest."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled: "The weather is hot over there, everyone should like it very much."
Wearing short-sleeved clothes and basking in the sun leisurely on the beach in the middle of winter is the most comfortable and most yearning thing for children.
Dad Xue smiled and said: "As soon as I heard about playing, I immediately became energetic."
"Take it easy!" Xue Ling advised: "Don't be careless. If you feel uncomfortable, say it immediately. Don't delay."
Father Xue had no choice but to nod obediently.
After Cheng Tianyuan had eaten, he went upstairs and dug out the children from their beds.
"Brush your teeth and wash your face! Eat! Hurry!"
Several children yawned in confusion, not daring to stay in bed, and went to their respective bathrooms one after another.
More than half an hour later, Ahu arrived in Chen Min's "Xiao Lafeng". The seats in front were full, and the containers in the back were filled with a lot of things, including everything for food and use.
The little tiger pulled his sister out of the car and rushed directly to his friends.
The children played together happily.
Ahu laughed and chose himself as the king of children, and started tinkering with the oven with a group of little ones, preparing to cook grilled fish and mutton.
Cheng Tianyuan had to help from the side and shouted earnestly: "Don't touch the bamboo sticks! Be careful because there are thorns! Don't touch the charcoal fire, it's very hot..."
Xiao Yue was the youngest, following behind his brothers and sisters, shouting excitedly: "I want it too! I want it too! What is that?! What is it?!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled fondly, picked him up and let him see as much as he could.
Xue Ling and Wang Qing sat in the corner lazily basking in the sun, chatting and laughing from time to time.
Ahu Ma and a few old people got together to play mahjong, laughing and laughing.
Chang Bo didn't know how to play mahjong, so he sat at the gate to bask in the sun while looking towards the entrance of the village.
After a while, the village chief passed by on an old bicycle, braked and asked, "What's wrong? Did you call?"
"It's done." Chang Bo said, "I'll wait here."
The village chief shook his head and sighed, kicked off his feet, and continued riding forward.
At almost noon, after roasting more than a dozen failed products, the children finally made improvements one after another and roasted the meat slices and corn in their hands.
Xue Yang flew over while chewing chicken wings.
"Mom! Give you some corn!"
Xue Ling turned around and took it with a smile: "Thank you! Go and get one more for Auntie. Auntie Wang doesn't like meat, so give her some corn."
"There are also sweet potatoes!" Xue Yang asked with a smile: "Auntie, do you want corn or sweet potatoes?"
Wang Qing looked at the young man's energetic features and smiled unconsciously.
"Auntie likes it, so just take whatever you have."
"Okay!" Yang Yang turned around and ran away.
Xue Ling and Wang Qing looked at the young man's tall figure and long running legs, and smiled at each other.
"In a blink of an eye, the children have grown up."
Xue Ling narrowed his eyes and explained: "It's a bit of a pity... I originally planned to meet up with colleagues from the newspaper office in the past few days to chat, but now I guess it won't work. We have a flight tomorrow morning."
Wang Qing couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you going to the photo studio in the afternoon? I heard from Alan that you wanted to transfer the photo studio and asked Tongzi and her if they wanted to take over. Of course they wanted to - but they were a little embarrassed. Alan said
You are going to give them the camera without taking a penny from it."
Xue Ling chuckled: "That machine is more than ten years old and has been eliminated by the market long ago. If they can use it, keep it. If they can't, forget about it. There is no need to pay back. I want to drop by to take a look at them in the afternoon. What about the landlord?
We have already talked about it, and after the Chinese New Year, the person who renews the contract will be Tong Zi, not A Yuan."
Wang Qing held her hand and whispered: "Ling Ling, come back when you have time."
Xue Ling said with a smile: "When I come back, you have to be there too! You are in the provincial capital, not the county town."
Wang Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "As long as you come back, I will come back immediately."
"Then it's settled." Xue Ling nodded.
After a while, the sound of chatting came from the door.
Cheng Muhai walked out quickly.
Cheng Tianyuan turned his head and looked around, then turned back.
Liu Ying asked out of curiosity: "Who is it? Please come in and have a seat!"
Cheng Tianyuan said angrily: "They are here to see Uncle Chang, not our house."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying guessed that Tianshuan and his wife were here, and was too lazy to pay attention. She urged: "Let's continue! Whose turn is it? Oh! Who made these three? Why didn't I see it just now?"
Cheng Tianyuan turned back to the oven and helped look after the children.
The lunch that day was not cooked, so everyone ate barbecue. Everyone ate randomly, mixing meat and vegetables randomly, and everyone's mouth was full of oil.
Cheng Tianyuan took the roast lamb and sweet potatoes and walked out of the door, only to find that his father was the only one left eating corn.
"Dad, where is Chang Bo?"
Cheng Muhai replied: "Tian Shuan's youngest son wants to take the old man to eat stir-fry on the road outside the village. The three generations of grandfather and grandson will go to eat together."
At this moment, there was a noise from the entrance of the village ahead, and it seemed like someone was shouting!
