Halfway through the conversation, Cheng Tianyuan came out, his face still a bit foul.
"Ahu, you can sleep here tonight. We will return to the Imperial Capital tomorrow, and then you can take Lingling and I to the airport."
Xue Ling was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that he would decide to go back so quickly.
"We haven't booked a flight ticket yet! It's so late, I don't know if we can book it?"
Cheng Tianyuan said: "There are two flights a day, why should you be afraid? If you can't book one in the morning, then book one in the evening. Anyway, it's just the two of us. Even if we arrive at the airport at one or two o'clock in the evening, we can just take a taxi and go home and sleep.
.There are no old people or children to worry about, we can do it anytime."
Xue Ling glanced at him, thinking that he felt uncomfortable, but didn't say anything.
So, she took out her mobile phone, dialed the special line for booking air tickets, and reported two people's ID cards and contact phone numbers.
"I've booked it, but I can't catch the flight tomorrow morning, so I can only take the flight at 5 p.m."
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan said with cold eyes: "We still have to go back to the Imperial Capital to be busy. Let Dad follow up on other matters here. Dad, do you want to go back with us first? Or do you want to go to the South Island? Chang Bo's
It is impossible for the case to be concluded within the year, and it will probably be later than the year."
Cheng Muhai was quiet for a moment, then sighed: "I...I'd better stay."
The son was so angry with the villagers that he turned around and left immediately. But now that the villa has just been moved in, there are still some things that have not been done well, such as the small flower garden on the balcony and the small trees next to the yard. These are all still there.
Needs to be taken care of.
"Your Uncle Chang left so suddenly. I really am not in the mood to go on vacation. I will stay here for a while and wait until the New Year."
Xue Ling disagreed and said: "Dad, you are all alone here, and there is no one to take care of you when eating and drinking. We don't trust you here alone. We can understand that you are in a bad mood. But you live alone.
, it is easier to be in a bad mood. A Yuan and I will also fly to the South Island during the Chinese New Year, and the family will be reunited then. If you stay here, your pace will not be consistent with ours. We will not worry if you fly to the South Island alone!"
After saying this, she secretly glanced at Cheng Tianyuan.
He wanted to go back on impulse, but he never considered that it was not safe for his old father to stay here alone.
The old man is too old to live alone. What if something happens and there is no one to inform him?
Ahu hurriedly agreed: "That's right! Godfather, you can't stay alone. It's hard to even prepare a meal by yourself, and you can't finish it if you make more. There aren't many restaurants when you go out. It's really inconvenient to live here."
Cheng Tianyuan calmed down a little after his wife glared at him.
"Dad, you should come back to the imperial capital with us. When the Chinese New Year is about to come, we will go south to the South Island to celebrate the New Year together. For the Chinese New Year, we want to reunite as a family."
Cheng Muhai shook his head: "The villa has not been tidied up yet. Such a big place and such a good villa cannot be left empty."
"If it's empty, it's empty." Cheng Tianyuan said solemnly: "I was obsessed with the idea of ​​rebuilding the old house! I regret it so much now! We should leave the old house alone, and others will think that we are no better.
There are only two dilapidated old houses in my hometown, but I can feel more balanced. Now that hundreds of thousands of villas are built here, people are jealous and sad, thinking that we are no longer from Chengjia Village."
"Shh!" Cheng Muhai frowned and whispered: "What are you talking about! Don't talk nonsense when you are angry! We are not from Chengjia Village, where can we be from? Your surname is not 'Cheng'? Ah?"
Cheng Tianyuan kept a cold face and said nothing.
Ahu and Xue Ling looked at each other and couldn't help but feel helpless.
Xue Ling whispered: "Dad, he was just too angry for a moment. He is not a person who doesn't understand sense of proportion. You should know that."
When Cheng Muhai heard what she said, the anger in his heart calmed down a lot.
"Our roots are here, and this can never be changed. Yes, there will always be some people in a village who like to talk nonsense, and some people like to be jealous of others. This is human nature. But not everyone is like this.
, most people are not. One kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people. Some people in the village have low vision, and some like to do sneaky things, like Cheng Bo. But you can't bring down the whole village with one stroke, right?"
Xue Ling and Ahu hurriedly agreed: "That's right!"
Ahu raised his voice: "For example, the old village chief is also a very good person. I think he is responsible for his work and treats others with enthusiasm. He can be regarded as a very good small local leader."
Cheng Muhai continued: "There are good and bad people. Some people are generally good people, but there are also some small mistakes. Where can there be perfect people? Impossible! Our family used to be poor. We were so poor that we often couldn't open up the blame, so many people in the village
You looked down on us, even laughed at how poor our family was, and asked you to go to junior high school and high school. I know that since then, you have not really liked the people in the village. You have been walking outside for so many years, and you also know that people's hearts are the most complicated. This way
You encountered this situation today and you will encounter it in the future. In the more than ten years since I went to the imperial capital, I have never come back. I finally came here and it was not pleasant at all, so what?"
Cheng Tianyuan was silent for a moment and whispered: "Forget it, let's not talk anymore."
Even though he said so, others already knew that he was not angry anymore.
Cheng Tianyuan turned to him and said, "Dad, let Lingling book a ticket for you and you can come back with us. If you want to come, you can come back anytime. We really don't trust you here alone."
"No." Cheng Muhai explained: "I'll stay for two days and tidy up the house."
"There are still more than ten days until the New Year." Cheng Tianyuan frowned and asked, "Is it possible that you want to celebrate the New Year here alone? We don't agree."
Ahu thought for a while and said: "How about I pick up my godfather to the provincial capital in two or three days. When he gets tired of living there, I will buy him a ticket to the South Island. If he wants to return to the imperial capital,
Then buy it and go to the Imperial Capital. If he wants to stay, then I couldn't be happier. Little Huzi likes his godfather to play with him the most."
Cheng Muhai was delighted when he heard this and said: "Okay, okay!"
Seeing that the old man liked it, Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan no longer forced it.
I don't agree with him to stay because I don't want him to stay here alone without anyone to take care of each other. It would be great if Ahu and his family are with him. The old man is really not in the mood to go to the South Island for vacation, so don't force him.
Xue Ling said: "Ahu, I'll leave it to you and Wang Qing."
"Why are you so polite!" Ahu said with a smile: "My godfather will stay with us during the Chinese New Year. I promise to take good care of him!"
Cheng Tianyuan hurried upstairs and quickly took out a wad of cash.
"Dad, take these."
Cheng Muhai shook his head: "I still have a lot of money with me! No need! Besides, if I go to Ahu's house, will he ask me to spend money?"
"That's impossible!" Ahu laughed and said, "Big rich man, take it back! It's more than enough for me to support my godfather for a few days!"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "Bring these to the village chief tomorrow and say that they are donated by our family. You said that our family does our best and does our best, but as long as we have a clear conscience, we can't be demanding on everyone.
Everyone agrees."
Cheng Muhai's eyes moved slightly and he finally reached out to take it.
"Okay, I'll take it to the village chief tomorrow."
Xue Ling smiled softly.
Ahu shrugged and said with a smile: "That's well said! Let's just be ourselves and don't care what others think!"
