You have to think about my mother! How lonely and boring she is at home alone! The weather is sultry and she is irritable at home, so she will inevitably nag you more, so just bear with it! Bear with the calm for a while!"
"I've endured this all my life!"
Xue Zhilan snorted: "I just listen to what she says.
When I didn't answer, she said I was ignoring her.
I responded a few times, and she said I was quarreling with her! Whatever I did was wrong.
Forget it, let her be alone, let her be alone at home."
Xue Heng smiled flatteringly and whispered: "Dad, you and my mother have been married for decades. You should know her best."
"No, I don't understand."
Xue Zhilan snorted coldly: "If I knew that she would never change her bad temper in her whole life, and would even become more nagging and angry as she got older, I would not have gotten married in the first place! Otherwise, she would suffer and suffer all her life, and I would suffer too."
"What are you talking about!"
Father Xue on the side couldn't listen anymore, he frowned and scolded: "The more you talk, the more serious it becomes! The more you talk, the more exaggerated it is! Are you the one who talks like this?
How can there be so many ‘ifs’ in this world! If there really are ‘ifs’, who would have regrets! No one even needs to buy regret medicine!”
Xue Zhilan was suppressed by his cousin's "ferocious" momentum, and his momentum dissipated in an instant, and he did not dare to speak nonsense anymore.
Xue's father continued to lecture: "The grandchildren are so old, and the old couple has been together for most of their lives, but they still say regrets! Shame on you! You chose her in the first place, and you have to take responsibility! She suffered and suffered for your family.
Your sister-in-law has given birth to two sons for you. She is busy at home and outside the house. How can it be easier for her?
If you have to work, she also has to work. What do you mean by "even you are affected"?
What words!"
"No..." Xue Zhilan frowned and explained: "Brother Wu, you don't know that she... nags all day long.
To be honest, I would rather she go to work! When she has nothing to do at home, she will only catch me and expose my shortcomings, saying that I am not good here and that I am not good there.
What I do is wrong, what I do is wrong.
I really need to come out for some air!"
"Then bring your siblings with you."
Father Xue shrugged: "Anyway, you are staying in a guest room, and your younger siblings will come to live with you.
It’s just a pair of chopsticks for a big kitchen, so what’s the problem?”
Xue Zhilan shook his head: "She doesn't like to go out, and her legs and feet are not very agile."
"Then let her do whatever she can."
Dad Xue thought for a while and said "Ah", "Aren't our universities for the elderly still recruiting teachers?
That... medical emergency or something.
My sister-in-law is a doctor and is best at doing this.
It's better to let her become a teacher there.
It’s just one class every two days, but it should be a good thing to have some sustenance in my heart.”
"Why!"
Xue Heng became excited and said with a smile: "Uncle, your proposal is really good! I think it is feasible! The children are grown now, so my mother doesn't need to take care of them.
When the child goes to study, she is too bored at home alone, so she picks trouble with my dad."
"She may not like it."
Xue Zhilan shook his head and gave up: "She has a bad temper and has been in menopause. Don't mess up all the students at the University for the Elderly all at once."
Forehead?
Xue Heng chuckled: "No way?
My mother is a little bit cruel to you, but she is quite nice to others."
"snort!"
Xue Zhilan snorted: "She has something wrong in her heart! I am her wife and her husband.
But she treats me as an enemy and criticizes me. Isn't there something wrong with that?"
"Not that serious."
Dad Xue chuckled and said, "My younger sister just can't find anyone else to vent her irritability.
Look at your sister-in-law, doesn’t she also find fault with me all day long?
These are common problems, nothing serious."
"Yeah!"
Xue Heng nodded in agreement.
"You bastard! What's right?"
Xue Zhilan was still angry, "Your mother treats me as a punching bag?
Is she right?"
Xue Heng shut up and tried hard to hold back his laughter.
Father Xue on the side patted the mud powder on his hand and said warmly: "Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. As for getting angry?
After you've eaten enough, you and A Heng can go back.
Let me discuss my suggestion with my siblings tonight."
Xue Zhilan shook his head: "I won't go back."
"Dad..." Xue Heng smiled bitterly: "How could you never go home?
If you don't go back, mom will be even more angry."
Xue Zhilan asked: "She is angry, so what should I do when I go back?
Let her continue to be a punching bag?
I won’t go, I live well here, so don’t bother me.”
Xue Heng smiled and said: "Of course it's great here! This is the most luxurious and beautiful mansion in the imperial capital, how about it?
It's just... you have to be considerate and considerate of my mother, right?
You have uncles and aunts here to keep you company, but she is alone at home.
Xiaohan goes to school, I go to work, and she is the only one at home.
She doesn’t like watching TV or looking for people to chat with – how lonely she is!”
Xue Zhilan lowered his eyes and was no longer so excited.
"...Just wait a few days and then come back.
You and Xiaohan spend more time with her, and on weekends let Ah Huan and the others take the children to eat with her, or take her out shopping or in the park."
Even though I am angry with my old wife, who has been with me for most of my life, I still feel sorry for her deep down.
Xue Heng hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Dad, no matter how much we accompany you, we can't compare to you! Didn't you just say that?
You are Mom's wife, and she is also your wife.
Young couples come to keep each other company all the time, and you are each other's company now.
Your companion can’t always be absent without permission!”
Xue Zhilan glanced at him and asked: "No matter how busy the job is, there must be shifts and holidays, right?
Can’t I just stay at work and take a vacation once in a while?”
"Ha ha!"
Xue Heng smiled and said: "You have been off for more than a week! It's time to go back and continue to work at your post!"
Xue Zhilan didn't say anything.
Father Xue washed his hands and wiped them slowly.
"It's midsummer now and the weather is sultry.
Living in a suite with only so little space makes it easier to feel irritable.
Ah Heng, why don't you go bring your mother over to stay for a few days and treat it as a vacation?
It's very cool here in the morning and evening, with the natural wind blowing, watching the moon and eating fruits, and there are a few of us old people chatting, so it won't be too lonely."
"Uncle...this is too disturbing."
Xue Heng apologized and smiled: "My dad comes to stay every three days, and now he also brings my mom with him..." "It's settled!"
Dad Xue said.
Xue Heng hesitated a little, looked at his father and found that he remained silent.
The silence at this time is acquiescence.
Xue Heng laughed out loud and nodded: "Okay, I will pick up my mother later."
