Xue Ling also got up and went to the kitchen to help.
After a while, Xue Yang poked his head in and asked pitifully: "Can't we start dinner yet?
I'm so hungry! If I don't eat, I'm going to go all-out on snacks."
Cheng Huanran didn't even know how to cut potatoes, so he replied lazily: "Dad said, we'll start eating when the little tiger wakes up."
"Yo ho!"
Xue Yang couldn't help but stare: "Which planet is he from?
Who is sleeping now and at what time?"
Cheng Huanran replied: "A humanoid basilisk from Sirius, which turns upside down day and night."
Xue Ling never went into the kitchen much, especially when her children grew up. She hardly had to wash a bowl or chop a vegetable.
She sat at the dining table with her cell phone and replied to the employees who sent her messages one by one.
Some are wishing New Year's greetings in advance, while others are complaining, ridiculing and ridiculing colleagues. They are all kinds of things and they say anything.
Since the establishment of the group, Xue Ling has given her work number to all employees. Anyone can send her messages at any time, as long as they are work-related, and she can mention all kinds of innovative initiatives and ideas.
come out.
If it is helpful to the management and operation of the group, she will give additional rewards, and it will be a grand prize.
When she is free on weekends, she will take out her work phone to check information.
She was really busy a while ago. She came home at midnight every night and she had no time to deal with it.
Taking advantage of her free time today, she took it out and read them one by one.
Xue Yang was not lazy. Seeing his father washing vermicelli and his brother chopping potatoes and radish, he quickly washed his hands and helped clean up the dishes.
"Mom, Dad said that we will stay in a big hotel for a while and not go back to the villa in Chengjia Village."
"Um."
Xue Ling replied absently: "There is no heating over there, and there is no time to clean the bedding.
Besides, we are going to spend the New Year with grandma, and since she is in the county town, we naturally have to go to the county town too.
However, we also want to go to Chengjia Village to see our grandfather’s grave and pay our respects to him.
You can just live in the county town the rest of the time, life is more convenient there."
Cheng Huanran poured the potatoes into the pot and turned on the stove.
"Let's cook the little things at the bottom of the pot first. If my brothers and sisters are hungry later, we can eat them first."
Cheng Tianyuan cut off the cold skin and vermicelli and threw them into the pot.
Xue Yang swallowed his saliva and asked, "Dad, why do I smell mutton?"
"nonsense."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: “It’s full of mutton ribs, so it naturally tastes like mutton.”
Xue Yang smiled happily and whispered: "My favorite!"
"As long as it's food, what's not your favorite?"
Cheng Huanran joked: "Your favorites are all over the world. I suspect that you will have to marry a chef in the future, otherwise your life will be difficult."
Xue Yang couldn't react and asked: "What do you mean?
Can't you marry someone from another profession?
Must be a chef?”
"certainly!"
Cheng Huanran replied with a smile: "Otherwise, how would I live my life if I had to be jealous of my husband's favorite delicacies and food every day?"
"go!"
Xue Yang rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "What about you?
If you want to be an anesthesiologist in the future, you have to find a bartender, otherwise who can stand the smell of alcohol on your body!"
Cheng Tianyuan asked funnyly: "What?
Your hair hasn’t even grown yet, so you’re worried about getting a wife?
Groundless worries!"
Xue Yang chuckled and muttered: "You're kidding!"
Cheng Huanran couldn't help but ask: "Dad, how old were you when you married our mother?"
"twenty five."
Cheng Tianyuan replied.
"That's quite a suitable age!"
Xue Yang smiled and said: "When I graduate and find a girl I like, I will get married."
Cheng Tianyuan laughed and scolded: "No shame! Where is your career?
You have to have a stable life, a stable income, and a better living condition for others before getting married, right?
Marriage is a lifelong matter and cannot be rushed."
Xue Yang asked funnyly: "Dad, you didn't have any career at that time, just two houses with earth and tiles. Didn't you also marry my mother?"
"So I always feel like I owe her."
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at Xue Ling and whispered: "She suffered a lot in the first few years she was with me.
It wasn't until two years after your brother was born that our life finally became stable.
I couldn't help it at that time, you can't imitate your father."
Although Xue Ling was reading the message, his ears still heard it clearly.
She laughed softly, noncommittally.
Cheng Huanran smiled and said: "We share joys and sorrows together, otherwise there will be no sweet life.
Dad, if a woman can't share the hardships with you and only wants to share the joys with you, there's no point in that.
I have no money, and if people come here for my money, they will not be able to survive sooner or later.
Only a woman like Mom who doesn’t mind your poverty and is willing to fight for a better new life with you and work hard together to protect the family is a truly good woman."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said nothing.
As my son grows up, he will naturally have his own observations and ideas.
He will only make suggestions, but will not completely control their ideas and practices to imitate him.
If the daughter-in-law they marry in the future can be half as good as their own daughter-in-law, they will be very lucky.
Xue Yang listened to his brother's words and nodded in agreement: "Yes! Girls nowadays only love rich men, but I only pursue girls who have the same interests as me.
Rich or not, I will tell her the truth.
If she is willing to fight with me, then let's be together.
If she has to wait until I have money, she can wait if she can, and if she can't, she can leave."
Mother Xue just walked in and narrowed her eyes with a smile when she heard this.
"Hey! Are we Yangyang going to get a wife?"
"Nope!"
Xue Yang blushed very rarely and hesitated: "We are discussing the skills of marrying a wife and learning from my father!"
Mother Xue laughed and said, "That's great! Learn more! When you get married, I'll give my granddaughter-in-law a big red envelope!"
Everyone laughed.
Xiao Chong wandered in while chewing biscuits and asked: "Can we eat hot pot?"
I'm hungry."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Go and wake Xiao Huzi up and ask him to come have dinner.
If you go to bed too late, you may stay up late again at night.”
When Xiao Chong heard this, he immediately became worried, "He... his door is locked!"
"Then knock!"
Xue Yang sneaked over, broke off the second half of the biscuit, threw it into his big mouth, and muttered: "You don't call me if you have something delicious, you are really not a brother!"
Xiao Chong quickly stuffed the remaining biscuits into his mouth, turned around and walked out.
After a while, he came back and said weakly: "My hand hurts when I knock it, and there is no response."
Xue Yang suggested: "Then kick it with your feet!"
"You idiot!"
Cheng Huanran laughed and scolded: "What should we do if our door is kicked in?
Come on, look at me!"
After saying that, he ran out.
Xiao Chong and Xue Yang looked at each other, extremely curious, turned around and followed them out.
After a while, the three of them came back, laughing and joking, their young and energetic faces full of naughty smiles.
Cheng Tianyuan knew that they were there to catch the little tiger, and thought that they were all playful boys who could not cause any serious problems, so he just washed the lettuce and ignored them.
Xue’s mother couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked: “What’s wrong?
What did you do to him?"
Cheng Huanran suppressed a smile and whispered: "Stop the heating in his room."
Xue Yang covered his mouth and smiled: "He opened the big window adjacent to my room."
Xiao Chong on the side chuckled mischievously.
Mother Xue laughed and said: "He will wake up later, remember to make ginger water for him."
