Xiao Li smiled softly and replied: "That's great! The husband is very considerate to his wife.
His wife was busy with work and occasionally came back too late, so he would specially leave some of her favorite food to eat and keep warm.
There were also several times when I personally came to the kitchen to prepare tonics for my wife’s health.”
"Yo!"
Lao Li shook his head in disbelief: "Some people say that rich families are all rebels. Husband and wife quarrel, parents quarrel, and children quarrel.
Doesn't this look like it?
Did I hear it wrong?"
“Not every household is like this!”
Xiao Li whispered: "Don't listen to the nonsense of people outside.
The wife and husband have a very good relationship.
I heard from the old lady that they had been married for more than 20 years and had almost never had a quarrel."
"That's really rare!"
Lao Li couldn't help but shook his head again: "I can't believe it!"
Xiao Li smiled and washed the big pot.
"It depends on the person's temperament.
Look at my husband, he is very family-oriented, takes care of the elderly and children, and has a particularly gentle temperament.
I've been here for so long and I've never seen him get angry.
Look at my wife, with her temperament and demeanor, does she need to live in anger?
It doesn’t look like it, does it?”
Lao Li nodded slowly: "That's right, character is still the most important thing.
However, your words also remind me of a saying - poor and humble couples suffer everything.
When your family is short of food and clothing, how can you live a good life with all the anxiety and anxiety in your heart?
Right?"
"Maybe not!"
Xiao Li shook his head: "I heard from the old lady that she is that old lady Cheng, sir's mother.
She said that her family used to be very poor, and they often couldn't open the pot.
However, she and her wife never had to quarrel because they had nothing to do. They gave in to each other and took care of each other.
Also, I heard her say that when my wife married into their family, their family still owed a lot of money.
On the wedding day, I couldn't even afford wedding candy, let alone a wedding banquet.
However, my wife did not dislike their family, and she accompanied her husband to work in the county town the next day, slowly accumulating wealth, and making a lot of money step by step, which is why we have so much wealth today."
Lao Li let out a long "Oh" and exclaimed: "It turns out they started from scratch!"
"right!"
Xiao Li nodded hurriedly: "I heard from the old lady that my husband used to go to the dock to carry goods to supplement the family's life.
No matter it’s windy or snowy, he works part-time at the dock blowing the cold wind to make money.”
Lao Li suddenly smiled and said, "It's really unbelievable! If I didn't hear it with my own ears, I probably wouldn't believe it."
He thought that wealthy families were mostly descendants of landowners and owned houses, cars, and fields.
The ancestors have accumulated a lot of wealth, and it has been passed down for a long time. It is natural for future generations to inherit it. Those who can carry it forward are considered extremely successful.
"No..." Old Li seemed to remember something and said, "I seem to have heard that my wife is from the imperial capital. Some people say that she is a descendant of some big family.
And this courtyard is also where the seniors stayed."
"I must have heard wrong."
Xiao Li poured out the dirty water and defended: "My wife is indeed from the imperial capital.
I heard that Xue's surname was a common surname in the former imperial capital, and it seemed that he was an official.
This place was bought by my wife. It seems to be a small yard for her uncle, but it is only a small yard.
My wife bought another yard, and then bought a large piece of land from the developer of the previous community, so that we could build such a big yard."
"oh oh."
Lao Li finally believed it and whispered: "He is indeed a real rich man..." Xiao Li urged: "Have you opened the ginger water?
You should turn down the heat quickly and don’t cook it with too little water, it will be too spicy after a while.”
Lao Li quickly turned around to see Jiang Shui.
In the room, Xue Ling was holding her nose while eating noodles.
"It is indeed autumn, and the wind at night is so cool... so chilling to the heart.
There was no shelter at the airport, and the wind was blowing so hard that I almost lost my footing.
It’s so cold that even if I turn on the heater when I get in the car, it won’t save me!”
Cheng Tianyuan reminded: “It’s cold in the morning and evening in autumn. After taking a coat, put it in the car and put it on anytime it gets cold.
When we are not young, our immunity has begun to decline, and we will get sick if we are not careful."
Xue Ling sniffed and nodded.
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "Have the flights departed?
How long will it take to come back?"
"At least two days and one night."
Xue Ling replied: “We have to stop to refuel on the way.
Fortunately, Mr. Ming often flies around the world to travel and has contacted the airport in advance.
He has done me such a great favor, and I have to return the favor."
Cheng Tianyuan sighed softly and whispered: "You should help your friends.
Of course, when others help us, we must not only remember to be kind, but also remember to return the favor."
Xue Ling whispered: "Jiaxue's husband is still in the ICU, and she herself is very haggard.
Fortunately, her brother-in-law, nieces and nephews were taking care of her, otherwise she might not have been able to survive.
When I saw her for the first time today, I was shocked."
"There are no children around me."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "My wife suddenly had an accident, and it was not easy for her to survive alone for so many days.
If you have children... at least you have someone to accompany you and help you bear the burden."
Xue Ling's eyes flashed slightly and he sighed: "If this is the case... you must not let Jiaxue hear it."
Not having children was her biggest regret in her life, and she still feels it to this day, feeling regretful and sad.
When she finally decided to adopt a child, all the procedures were very complicated, but after she got it done, she found that both of them were in poor health, and neither of them could take care of herself. How could she have the energy to take care of a child?
If you put it off again and again, this matter will get delayed.
Cheng Tianyuan changed the subject and said: "Xiaoxin is going to the south to participate in a chess competition early next month. It is said to be a very famous competition.
It will be held on the weekend, so you may have to take a day off."
"OK."
Xue Ling said: "You can help arrange air tickets and so on.
Dad and Uncle Zhilan want to accompany her?"
"Um."
Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "Not only are the two old men going, but Xiaoxin's old master is also going together.
I heard that he is going to meet old friends and see with his own eyes how Xiaoxin fights against his opponents."
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and said honestly: "It's quite unexpected.
I heard that he rarely goes out and lives in seclusion, but I didn’t expect that he would want to be a spectator or a cheerleader.”
"Maybe it was Xiaoxin's influence."
Cheng Tianyuan suppressed a laugh: "Xiao Xin said that she acted coquettishly for a long time before the master agreed.
He said that he had not seen his old comrades in the south for more than 30 years and took the opportunity to meet them."
Xue Ling said very generously: "Tell the old people that we will cover all the food and accommodation for you and let them have a good time."
"Um."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "I will book a comfortable hotel for them in advance."
Xue Ling asked in surprise: "Aren't you coming with us?"
"No."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Yangyang will also have a competition at that time. I heard from the coach that it is a very important competition and will be held abroad.
I have to rush to apply for a passport in the next few days.
However, I’m so busy with classes that I can’t go with him, so I’ll go with him.”
After a pause, he added: "Originally, Xiao Huzi clamored to go together, but I refused.
His ID card has been lost and a replacement has not yet been sent, and he cannot fly."
