When Xue Ling returned outside, she found that her eldest son and husband were coaxing her mother-in-law to eat more, while the others were leaning against the heating vent, chatting in low voices.
Her old mother waved to her and motioned for her to come over.
Xue Ling walked forward quickly.
The old mother lowered her voice: "Just now your aunt said that they will move to the Oriental Garden in two days. A Heng said that A Yuan also has such a plan. The stone building is still sealed, and you can't see the scene at all.
Even the children are very scared. It’s good that A Yuan has such a plan, what do you think?”
"Okay." Xue Ling whispered: "The design drawings of the courtyard have just come out and are still being demolished. They will definitely not be able to live in it in the short term, at least until next summer. The Oriental Garden has convenient transportation and is close to the city.
.We lived there before, so we are relatively familiar with it.”
Staying in a hotel is not a long-term solution. Even if there is a hotel downstairs, the entry and exit are still the same.
But the hotel is a mixed bag, and it is not an option for the elderly and children to stay there for a long time.
Mother Xue nodded: "The key is that there is enough room to live in. For a big family like ours, we can't live in any one suite. The suite over there is two suites in one, which is wide enough to live in. Your aunt asked Ah Heng to contact someone
Go clean, let’s ask them to call someone as well.”
"Okay." Xue Ling shook his head and said, "We really don't have time."
Mother Xue smiled bitterly: "The key is that we can't do it. The old one can't help, and the younger one has to go to school."
"It's okay." Xue Ling said: "You ask Ah Heng to contact him, and I will pay him back the money."
"Hey!" Mother Xue agreed.
In the afternoon, all the senior executives of Mingshu Group came, laid wreaths and bowed to the old man.
"Mr. Xue, you must show your condolences and accept the change."
"Mr.
Xue Ling smiled slightly and said warmly: "Thank you for your concern. I have been busy with family affairs these days, so the group will leave it to you all."
Everyone nodded respectfully.
There is also a special person traveling with us - Xiao Jiaxue!
She was wearing a black down jacket and a black hat. Maybe the sweater underneath was too tight and she was out of breath.
"I... I only found out yesterday. It scared me to death..."
Xue Ling helped her pull open her down jacket and whispered: "As long as you have the intention, there is no need to make a special trip."
Xiao Jiaxue looked at her distressedly and sighed: "Look at you, the circles under your eyes are so dark and there are red bloodshot eyes. No one would have expected such an unlucky thing! People can't be resurrected, don't be too sad. Here we are.
At our age, it won’t be long before we know our destiny, and we have to see through life and death.”
"There's nothing you can do if you can't see through it." Xue Ling said, "I'll take a good rest in two days."
Xiao Jiaxue whispered: "I worked in your company for half a day, and my arms almost hurt so much that I couldn't bear it. I can't hold on!"
"Hold on." Xue Ling glanced at her and asked, "You can't do such an easy job, so what can you do? Be patient, endure, and occasionally you have to push yourself and be a little harder on yourself.
.”
"That's right." Xiao Jiaxue smiled bitterly: "Then I'll go there tomorrow."
Xue Ling said: "You can take a break for half an hour, but you can't give up."
"Oh." Xiao Jiaxue raised two fingers for her and whispered: "I made almost 80 yuan."
"Come on! Hold on!" Xue Ling warned: "Secretary Chen rented a car and came over. You will give her a ride back in a while."
Xiao Jiaxue nodded gratefully.
Ten minutes later, Secretary Chen drove everyone back.
At this time, the emcee outside shouted: "Ms. Xue Cong is here!"
Xue Ling was slightly surprised when she saw Xue Cong, dressed in a black dress, solemn and formal, walking in gracefully step by step, and hurriedly came forward to greet her.
"Sister Cong, how...how did you know?
Xue Cong held her hand, sighed and whispered: "It's such a big fuss, it's even on TV, how can I not know about it? You really do too! We are our own family, why didn't we even say a word!"
Xue Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sister, I'm really sorry. This incident has dealt a huge blow to our family, and it still feels like a nightmare. No one dares to accept this reality. I have been so confused these two days, almost
I didn’t even have time to notify anyone.”
"I understand." Xue Cong sighed and frowned: "No one can accept such a thing suddenly. I came here on leave today, and I won't stay later. I have to fly south in the evening."
Xue Ling said distressedly: "You are so busy at work...thank you!"
After lighting incense and bowing, Xue Cong left in a hurry.
Before she left, she told Xue Ling good news, saying that her daughter had been persuaded by the couple and planned to resign and return to China to start a business. She should be able to return to the imperial capital before the New Year.
Xue Ling congratulated her.
Xue Cong chuckled: "We still need a son-in-law! We have something to worry about."
She waved her hand, got in the car and left.
Several of Cheng Tianyuan's business partners also came, but they didn't stay too long and left in a hurry.
In the evening, the funeral finally ended.
Everyone was very tired and left the funeral home one after another by car.
Cheng Tianyuan and Ahu still stayed vigil.
Early the next morning, the old man's body was cremated.
At noon that day, a group of people had a big meal at the hotel.
Ahu asked: "Ayuan, when is the flight tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow afternoon." Cheng Tianyuan replied: "We have plenty of time. If it's too late to get there, we will stay in the provincial capital for one night and return to Chengjiacun the day after tomorrow."
"Okay!" Ahu nodded.
After lunch, everyone went about their business.
Xue Ling hurried back to the group, Cheng Huanran hurried back to school, and Xue Yang accompanied his grandparents to the Oriental Garden.
Xiao Huzi pestered Xiao Chong and Xiao Xin to play with them.
Wang Qing hadn't slept well in the past two days, so Ah Hu planned to accompany her upstairs to rest. "The mall is so big and has all kinds of stores! There seems to be an electronic game mall opposite. I'll give you two hundred yuan, go and have fun!"
"
Xiao Huzi took the money and laughed happily: "Xiao Xin, let's go! I invite you to play a game!"
Xiaoxin nodded.
Xiao Chong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about me? If it's not mine, then I won't go."
Xiao Huzi asked curiously: "Don't you have any money?"
"No." Xiao Chong replied: "Except for stationery supplies, we only have ten yuan of money at our disposal."
"Isn't it?!" Xiao Huzi stared in surprise, as if he had discovered some new world, and said loudly: "Your mother is so rich that she just gives you ten yuan as pocket money? One day?"
"Half a month." Xiao Chong replied.
Xiao Huzi immediately showed pitiful eyes, shook his head and sighed: "Oh my God! Are you really your mother's biological children? Where is your father? He also has ten dollars?"
"No." Xiao Chong gave him an idiot look and said, "Our pocket money is all given by my father and approved by my mother."
Xiao Huzi held his forehead and exaggerated: "No wonder people say that rich people are Zhou Papi. Now I finally know why your father and your mother are so rich. What era is this? On average, you can't even make one yuan a day."
Not even! Tsk! How did you survive?"
Xiao Chong shrugged: "That's how I survived!"
Xiao Huzi gestured with his index finger and loudly said proudly, "My young master's weekly pocket money is one hundred! My sister's pocket money is one hundred too! It's all my dad's money! Are you envious? Don't be too envious, and don't be too jealous."
Xue Xin rolled her eyes and asked: "Are you leaving? That's a lot of nonsense! Your father's money is not your money!"
"No...hehe!" Xiao Huzi smiled and said: "Even if my dad's money is not mine now, it will be mine in the future. It will be a matter of time, right? My dad is my only son.
If it doesn’t belong to me, who will it belong to?”
