Xue Heng was startled and asked worriedly: "Is my mother okay? Is she also ill?"
"It's not serious." Xue Ling whispered: "Auntie, I haven't been able to sleep well these days. Yesterday I had to catch a plane and ride in a car, and my body couldn't bear it. In addition, I didn't sleep well last night, and it took a few days to explode.
Already."
"Has my dad bought the medicine?" Xue Heng asked, "Do I need to come to the hospital?"
"No need." Xue Ling explained: "Uncle Zhilan asked us to take good care of my mother. He can take good care of my aunt. My father and my mother help take care of the children."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Yang Yang and Xiao Xin are old, so there is nothing to worry about. If they go home, they can help take care of Xiao Yue and Xiao Han, so there is no need to worry about these things. On the contrary, they are old people..."
Xue Ling whispered: "The old man is getting older, his resistance is not as good as before, and his ability to withstand stress is no longer good. Once you have something on your mind and don't sleep well for two or three days, you will get sick."
"Alas..." Xue Heng whispered guiltily: "It is indeed us who made them worry."
Cheng Tianyuan poked him and said: "Hurry up and eat your fill. There are old people at the top and young at the bottom. We don't have time and spare time for us to waste."
Xue Heng hurriedly ate.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at Xue Ling and said, "I'll go back and take a bath after I'm full. I'll take care of my mother later. After I come, you can go back and take care of the children."
"Okay." Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "I can't stay up late now. I get dizzy when I stay up."
Cheng Tianyuan said to Xue Heng: "Go back first after you have eaten. Have a good sleep tonight and come and take my place tomorrow morning."
"No." Xue Heng said anxiously: "Brother, you stayed up all night last night, I'll do it tonight."
"No need." Cheng Tianyuan said confidently: "I'm in good spirits, and there's an empty bed here. I can sleep for a while tonight. Auntie isn't feeling well, so you have to go back and take a look."
Xue Ling frowned and said, "Okay, that's the arrangement. Come back tomorrow morning."
Cheng Tianyuan's eyes flashed slightly and he asked: "Has A Fang gone back? Has she gone to take care of Xiao Han?"
Xue Ling explained: "Dad said that she stayed for a while, and then she received a call and said she had something to do and had to hurry up, so she turned around and left in a hurry."
"Didn't you meet him?" Cheng Tianyuan asked.
Xue Ling shook his head.
She hurried home after working in the factory, bought some cooked food downstairs, went back and cooked two plates of vegetables, hurriedly arranged for the whole family to have dinner, and then rushed over to deliver meals to them. She had no time to care about other things!
Cheng Tianyuan's face was cold and he buried his head and continued to eat.
Xue Heng couldn't help but muttered with dissatisfaction: "The old people are not very comfortable when the family is so busy. If she has something to do, she has to go and do it now. Xiaohan must have someone to help take care of her!"
Xue Ling shook his head: "Forget it, there are so many people in the family anyway, we can take care of ourselves."
Xue Heng glanced at Liu Ying and saw that her face was even more ugly. He didn't dare to say anything more and kept eating.
The ward became quiet.
Liu Ying turned sideways, looked out the dark window, and let out a long, low sigh.
…
That night, Mother Xue coaxed Xiao Han to sleep, settled Xiao Yue, and then dragged her tired body to visit Mrs. Chen.
Xue Zhilan lowered her voice: "She fell asleep. She took some soothing medicine and finally fell asleep."
Mother Xue nodded, "Zhilan, then I won't go in. Xiao Yue and Xiao Han are both asleep, so I have to help watch."
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law." Xue Zhilan smiled bitterly: "I asked Xiao Yue to come over and sleep here, but he refused no matter what. He hugged Brother Wu's thigh and refused to let go."
"It's okay." Mother Xue said warmly: "He is used to us. Let him come over after you stabilize."
Xue Zhilan hesitated to speak, but finally stopped, "...Okay."
He watched his sister-in-law leave, closed the door gently, looked at the empty living room and the deserted surroundings, and sighed unconsciously.
How did this home become like this?
Ah Heng and Ah Fang are obviously divorced. Ah Huan and Xiao Yi have been too busy to take care of their family and children. If things go on like this, they may follow in their footsteps.
No, they can no longer ignore them.
I used to think that young people have their own ideas, respect them, don't interfere with them, and let them take care of their own families.
But all of them are too frivolous and cannot take care of work and family at the same time.
That's all, it seems that he and his wife can only take action to help them take care of their family.
In the evening, Xue Heng came back.
He went next door to pack his clothes, stuffed them randomly into his suitcase, and then went to find his parents.
Xue Zhilan didn't say anything and started to help him clean up.
"You go take a shower and I'll make your bed."
Xue Heng was slightly stunned and nodded: "Okay, thank you, dad."
Since he and Ah Fang had a falling out, his parents paid little attention to him. They traveled all year round and only came back to stay for a few days during the Chinese New Year. Even if they got together, they were very cold. I don't know whether they were blaming him or angry with Ah Fang.
When I came back this time, everything seemed to have changed.
After a while, he opened the bathroom door and found that the beds had been made and the outer door had been closed.
He looked at the unfamiliar room and found that the strangeness in his heart was not strong.
In the past two years, he either slept in hotels or in small, cramped rooms in the office when he was on business trips. He didn't care if he got dirty occasionally, because he knew in his heart that those places were not his long-term destination.
Even though he was unfamiliar here, his parents were in the next room and his daughter was not far away, which made him feel at ease.
It turns out that no matter how unfamiliar a place is with family members, it is never unfamiliar.
He lay down and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xue Heng was awakened by a knock on the door.
"A Heng, come out quickly and have breakfast."
Xue Heng hurriedly got up, wrapped himself in his coat, and opened the door with sleepy eyes.
I saw my father cleaning the living room, my mother busy in the kitchen, and there was a faint smell coming from the kitchen.
Xue Zhilan said: "Wash up quickly and have breakfast! You are still needed to help at the hospital!"
"Hey!" Xue Heng responded and hurried to the bathroom.
While brushing his teeth, he took out his mobile phone and found several unread text messages.
Two are advertisements, one is from a colleague, and one was received at about two o'clock last night - sender: wife.
Xue Heng took the lead in clicking it.
——Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau of xx District at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Remember to bring your household registration book, ID card, and marriage certificate.
Xue Heng frowned slightly as he thought of what his father-in-law and brother-in-law said.
Taking care of the elderly, her brother-in-law probably hasn't had time to discuss the matter with her yet.
He wasn't sure whether he could go in the afternoon, so he didn't reply and put his phone down.
As if remembering something, he picked up the phone again, clicked on the contact, changed "Wife" on the name bar to "Cheng Tianfang", and then put it back to the original position.
He shaved his beard, put on a light coat, and opened the door.
"Uncle!" A crisp voice shouted.
Xue Heng turned his handsome face away and saw Xiao Yue holding a vegetable bun and chewing on it. His cute eyebrows were smiling and he immediately smiled, "Hey! Where is Xiao Yue having breakfast?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yue said cheerfully: "Grandpa said that I will come here to have breakfast from now on. Grandpa also said that he will take me to the kindergarten in the future!"
Xue Zhilan stirred the soy milk in the bowl and called lovingly: "Xiao Yue, it's not hot anymore, come and drink it."
"Thank you, grandpa!" The little guy sat back on the chair.
Mrs. Chen brought out a plate of pickled mustard and shouted: "Ah Heng, eat it quickly!"
Xiao Yue crisply shouted: "Uncle, let's eat!"
Xue Heng rubbed his hair and sat on the other side of him.
Ms. Chen explained: "Xiao Han is still sleeping. Brother Wu and sister-in-law are helping to watch over him, so don't worry. After you eat, go to the hospital to take care of your mother-in-law, and your father will send Xiao Yue to school. I will pack up in a while and go there to accompany Xiao Han."
Han."
Xue Heng looked at the restored home, feeling secretly happy and nodded hurriedly: "Okay!"
