Thinking of this, Xue Ling quickly removed this idea from his mind.
After a while, when I have some free time, I have to find a quiet place to build a small villa.
It’s time to prepare for the elderly’s retirement.
The traffic jam was so serious that it didn't clear up until half an hour later, so we drove home slowly.
At this time, night has fallen, and the neon lights are as bright as day.
Ronghua Mall is full of people coming and going like water.
Xue Ling hurriedly entered the elevator and pressed the button for the eighteenth floor.
I guess everyone is still waiting for her to have dinner. It's already past six o'clock now, and the children must be hungry.
After exiting the elevator door, she found that both doors at her door were open, and faint sounds of laughter and cheers could be heard.
The corners of her mouth raised slightly when she heard the sound.
No matter how busy or troubled you are outside, as long as you arrive at the door of your home and listen to the voices and laughter of your family, you will easily forget the unpleasantness outside, and your mood will improve unconsciously.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw people crowding around Xue Zhilan and Chen, chatting happily.
Xue Zhilan hugged Xiao Yue, and Chen held Xiao Han, with smiles all over their faces.
"Mom! Look! Uncle and the others are back!" the children shouted.
Xue Ling hurriedly walked in and shouted: "Uncle Zhilan, aunt!"
Chen stood up, took Xue Ling's hand, and said excitedly: "We haven't seen each other for half a year, why has Ling Ling lost weight again? Don't worry about losing weight, you are beautiful enough!"
Another happy reunion after a long separation.
Xue Zhilan explained: "Originally we booked train tickets for tomorrow, but unexpectedly we received a short notice saying that a section of railway track was in urgent need of repairs and we would not come to the Imperial Capital for ten days. We simply changed to plane tickets and we would be here in just over an hour.
.”
"I know!" Xiao Yue raised his hands and said with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma are going to give us a big surprise!"
Everyone laughed.’
Xue Zhilan gently stroked the child's hair and said warmly: "Yes, I came back early to give you an unexpected surprise."
Cheng Tianyuan poked his head out and shouted, sweating profusely: "Dinner is ready! Yangyang, Xiaoxin and Xiaochong, come and set the dishes!"
Everyone filed into the kitchen.
Mrs. Chen found that the kitchen was a little cold, so she couldn't help but look up and saw a large air conditioner placed in the corner.
"Hey! There's a big space installed in the kitchen? No wonder it's so cold when you walk in!"
Liu Ying explained with a smile: "I bought it last summer. The weather was hot and eating was not smooth, so A Yuan went to buy one. It was cold outside these two days, but the room was very hot, so I asked A Yuan to drive it for a while while eating.
You don’t have to sweat when you do that.”
Cheng Muhai turned around and opened a window and said, "Open more windows so the air can circulate more."
Mother Xue rubbed her arms, shook her head and said, "It's a little cold..."
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly said: "Yangyang, don't let the temperature get too low."
Xue Yang immediately responded and raised the temperature twice.
Everyone sat down one after another, and Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan were responsible for preparing food for everyone.
Xue Zhilan apologized: "It's time to go downstairs to eat. A Yuan must be very busy because he has to cook so many dishes at once."
"No." Cheng Tianyuan explained with a smile: "I bought a roast duck when I came back. My mother made braised beef earlier. The meat is all available. I only need to fry three dishes."
"Yes." Dad Xue smiled and said, "No trouble, the soup is ginseng soup made in the afternoon."
Everyone gathered around a table and chatted while eating.
Mrs. Chen asked: "Xiao Yue, are your father and mother busy recently?"
"Busy." Xiao Yue muttered: "Mom was on duty yesterday and today. I haven't seen her for almost three days."
Xiaohan raised the small spoon in his hand and shouted: "I haven't seen my dad for a long time! He is busy! He won't come back! Mom said if he doesn't want to come back, just ignore him. Mom is even busier, she didn't come back for dinner. Today
I have to sleep with my grandparents again tonight, and my mother always comes back too late."
Chen and Xue Zhilan looked at each other, secretly feeling distressed.
Xue's mother explained with a wry smile: "Xiaoyi is a doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department. In addition to being on duty, she also has to take care of her own patients. Sometimes when the patient is in labor pain but has not given birth, she has to stay in the hospital and wait. Sometimes she is not born yet.
After finishing her work, it was her turn to be on duty again. She took two days off last weekend and was at home less than half a day when the nurse called and said that the patient was premature. She grabbed her purse and rushed out of the house. Fortunately, Xiao Yue is now older, sensible and well-behaved, and can
It’s not easy to understand my parents.”
Xue Zhilan sighed softly and said: "We came back this time... mainly for the sake of our children."
Mrs. Chen lowered her eyes and whispered: "Each family has one child. The nanny and I help take care of it together, but we can't do it well. I can't take care of it by myself, so I can only leave it to them to take care of each child."
Except for Xue Zhilan, everyone had different expressions on their faces, knowing that she was lying.
Ever since Cheng Tianfang refused to lend money to Xue Huan, Xiao Yi was secretly dissatisfied with her. In addition, Cheng Tianfang was always dissatisfied with her mother-in-law for taking care of Xiao Yue. She thought that since they were the boss, they had to take care of Xiao Han first and could not always help.
Taking Xiaoyi and Xiaoyue together, we had several quarrels.
Zheng Xiaoyi was very busy every day and was under a lot of pressure when he first went to work. When he got home, he heard Cheng Tianfang make sarcastic comments several times and got angry and quarreled with her.
If they are sisters, they may be able to restore their relationship within half a day of arguing. After all, they are blood relatives, and they also have the fight, play, and curse that they grew up with, and they can quickly reconcile as before.
But the sisters-in-law are different sisters and come from different families, but they are thrown together into one family. It is even more difficult to work together.
After the two quarreled, they stopped talking to each other.
Ms. Chen was very helpless, but could do nothing. After trying to persuade her here, she only made her two daughters-in-law dislike her.
Xue Zhilan was so angry that he simply took advantage of his retirement and asked them to take care of their children, and then took the Chen family out of the imperial capital to travel around.
The retirement salary of the two of them is not low, and as long as they don't spend lavishly, it will be enough for them to enjoy their leisure time.
In the past two years, except for returning for the New Year, the two of them have almost never been in the imperial capital.
Xue Zhilan smiled and sighed: "When I come back from this trip, I have to take good care of the children. I can't always bother Brother Wu, Sister Wu, and your in-laws. In the past two years, thanks to you, otherwise Xiao Yue and Xiao Han...
…Young people focus on their careers, but they can’t take care of their families. In the final analysis, it’s me, the father, who failed to educate his children well.”
"Uncle, you can't say that." Xue Ling said with a smile: "If you educate your children well, they can have a successful career. The main reason is that the current professional environment is very competitive, and everyone really has no time to take care of children in order to make a living.
After two years when my career is stable and I have time, I will naturally not continue."
Xue Zhilan smiled bitterly and whispered: "The child only has one childhood... I can't suffer any more, child. After your aunt and I went out, I always missed Xiao Yue and Xiao Han, and I couldn't have fun at all. When I was young, I had to live in order to live.
Children, no matter how busy or tired we are, we don’t dare to be lazy. I didn’t expect that as we get older and our children grow up, we still can’t be lazy, but this time it’s for our grandchildren.”
Liu Ying rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "It's all for future generations!"
Cheng Muhai glanced at her secretly, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
Liu Ying buried her head and continued to eat.
"Eat, eat before we talk." Dad Xue said warmly: "No matter how big the problems and problems are, they are no longer your problem. We are all people who have been through strong winds and waves. We should be calm and calm when looking at things, and we should see through them."
"Yes." Xue Zhilan nodded: "We will talk about it later, let's eat."
