In the evening, Cheng Huanran packed his backpack, said hello to his grandparents, went into the room to say goodbye to his grandparents, and then went to Xue Ling's room opposite.
"Mother?"
Xue Ling's voice came from the door: "Come in."
Cheng Huanran opened the door, thinking that his mother was lying in bed recuperating from illness, but unexpectedly she was sitting by the window drinking water and looking out the window silently.
"Mom, are you feeling better? Why don't you go to bed and lie down? Are you in a daze?"
Xue Ling smiled and whispered: "It's just a small cold. As for lying down all the time? It's not a serious illness. I'm still a little dizzy. Sit here to get some air and drink some water."
Cheng Huanran's tall and handsome face leaned over and said with a smile: "Drink more water! You should drink more water if you have a cold."
Xue Ling patted his head and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have something to tell mom? Did your dad give you the food expenses for this week?"
"Give it." Cheng Huanran chuckled: "Mom, I made it clear to that girl."
Xue Ling nodded: "That's good."
Cheng Huanran blushed slightly and whispered: "I told her that feelings cannot be forced, let alone compromised. I only have the feelings of an ordinary friend for her, which cannot be surpassed. I hope she can find someone who really likes her and cherishes her.
She was very sad and even cried. I persuaded her that she would forget me after a while and quickly return to her previous happiness. She and I hadn’t started yet, so it couldn’t be considered over. She said she understood, and she still
Tell me, I hope I can be with the person I really like in the future. At first, I... was a little embarrassed to say it, but then I kept talking more and more, and finally got it done! The unclear and uncomfortable feeling in my heart
The feeling is finally gone!"
"Do you feel comfortable?" Xue Ling asked.
Cheng Huanran nodded and replied with a smile: "Much more comfortable!"
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "What about the girl you like?"
"She - she had contact with me when I was in the club." Cheng Huanran shrugged: "But it was just a normal greeting, it was nothing at all. I thought she was very beautiful at first, but then I saw her more and saw her a few times.
That's all. In my heart, my mother is the most beautiful!"
"Haha!" Xue Ling laughed and rubbed his hair, "Not bad! You already know how to please mom."
Cheng Huanran hugged her neck and whispered: "Mom, you have a good rest. I'm going to school first."
"Yes." Xue Ling smiled and said, "Pay attention to safety along the way and don't be too late."
Cheng Huanran opened the door and left.
Xue Ling drank half a glass of water, turned around and walked to the living room to pour some water.
But he saw his father sitting by the phone, with a sullen face and silent expression, obviously angry.
Xue Ling asked curiously: "Dad? What's wrong with you?"
Dad Xue closed his eyes tiredly and whispered: "It's nothing."
"What are you doing?" Xue Ling poured some water, put it on the table to dry, and asked, "Have you returned to school yet?"
Father Xue nodded.
Liu Ying and Xue's mother were both in the kitchen, chatting while picking vegetables.
Xue Ling walked around and whispered to her mother.
"I don't know." Mother Xue said suspiciously, "It was fine just now! By the way, the phone in the living room rang just now, and he went to answer it. Could it be that someone called and made him angry?"
"Probably." Xue Ling turned around and returned to the living room.
I saw that my father had turned on the TV and was watching the advertisements on the TV quietly.
Xue Ling leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Dad, what's wrong? Who on earth annoyed you?"
"Alas..." Father Xue sighed and whispered: "Do you have to ask? What will happen if you ask? You can't help much."
Xue Ling smiled and asked, "How do you know I can't help you if you don't tell me what it is?"
"A Sheng called just now." Xue's father explained with a stern face: "Your third uncle also collected a lot of ancient paintings and calligraphy, and some were painted by famous people in the Qing Dynasty. The two families originally agreed that one person and half would be better, but unexpectedly,
He changed his mind, and everyone was vying for the most valuable paintings. So, before things were packed, the two families started to quarrel again. He asked me to help with the reconciliation, but I didn't want to go at all. Can you help? How?
"
Forehead?
Xue Ling shook his head in amusement: "I really can't help with this."
It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to handle household affairs, not to mention that she does not even have an official. How can she convince this group of people to obey her? Especially a group of greedy people.
Father Xue cursed irritably: "The third brother's body is still cold, and they are vying for his inheritance! If there is a quarrel, can he die in peace? I told Asheng, if you can each take a step back, you can take a step back. No.
Just go to court! Wait for the judge to give them a verdict according to the law! I am still sad about his father's death, but they, as children, have no time to fight over some old calligraphy and paintings!"
Xue Ling said with a smile: "It should be quite valuable. People die for money and birds die for food. It's human nature! Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. If you don't think much about it and don't do it, others may not be the same as you.
.”
"How much are they worth?" Father Xue said angrily: "In the past, there were two or three paintings that were quite valuable. Didn't we give them all? Now the rest are small paintings that can be sold for several thousand yuan.
So many! They are really not ashamed of themselves!"
Xue Ling advised in a low voice: "Thousands of dollars are money. They don't dare to embarrass themselves. At most, they will ask you to be a notary and help distribute it."
"I don't want to do such a shameful thing like them! Before, when your third uncle was still alive, I had to give him face, but now they can do whatever they want! I don't care about them!"
"Yeah." Xue Ling said with a smile: "You are the elder, you have the final say. Do whatever you like."
Father Xue snorted softly on the tip of his nose: "Don't get involved. No matter what they say, you are not allowed to help them. Your two cousins are wimps, and they are led by their own daughter-in-law to do whatever they want! Now I will get angry when I hear them.
!”
"Am I too full and too busy?" Xue Ling shrugged, picked up the water glass and said, "I'm busy!"
After saying that, she went back to her room.
Xiaoxin was watching TV in the living room, with a shy smile on her face.
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows suspiciously and glanced at it - it was actually a youth idol drama.
She stopped and watched for a while, and found that some of the dialogue was so stupid and funny, she rolled her eyes secretly.
"Xiaoxin, have you finished your homework?"
"It's done." My daughter didn't even bother to answer.
Xue Ling asked: "What kind of drama is this? Is it good to watch?"
"It's so beautiful!" Xiao Xin replied, unable to move her eyes.
Xue Ling said with a smile: "I watched - this way of acting is so exaggerated and has no connotation."
Xiaoxin pouted and muttered: "You didn't see clearly at all!"
Xue Ling shrugged and slipped back to the room.
For her, this is a youth drama.
For my daughter, it is part of her beautiful youth.
That's all, she'd better not say too much, so as not to offend others.
At this moment, her cell phone rang!
Xue Ling glanced at it and found that it was Zheng Xiaoyi, so he quickly picked it up.
After a while, she hung up the call.
She frowned and paced back and forth, then quickly picked up her phone and dialed Akui's number.
"We would like to ask you to continue to help."
After a while, she hung up the call again, rubbed her temples tiredly, her head hurt and she felt dizzy.
She quickly climbed into bed and lay down, pulled the quilt to cover herself, closed her eyes and rested.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open and the lights in the room turned on.
Cheng Tianyuan poked his head in and asked curiously: "What's wrong? I heard dad said you were wandering around, and I thought you were already well. Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
