Xue Xin shook her head and answered truthfully: "It's not mom, it was Brother Tietou who gave it to me."
Zheng Duoduo was stunned: "He... gave it to you?"
"Yes!"
Xue Xin answered with a happy smile: "He said it was inconvenient to contact me without a mobile phone, so he bought me this mobile phone and asked me to send him messages whenever I have time. He will reply immediately after seeing it."
Zheng Duoduo couldn't help but asked: "You...you contact him every day?"
"Roughly the same."
Xue Xin smiled sweetly and said: "Brother Tietou knows a lot of things! He sends me photos almost every day, including his big factory office and his plantation.
There are big trees, tall and lush, and rows of workers - they are all wearing short-sleeved shirts! It's freezing here. He said it's 289 degrees over there! But give me
I’m so jealous!”
Zheng Duoduo “Oh?
oh?"
After two calls, I still couldn’t react.
"Xiao Xin, a while ago Tietou was nowhere to be seen except for breakfast at home.
Auntie said he has been here in the garden for a lot of time, right?"
"Yes!"
Xue Xin explained with a smile: "He is here with me! I taught him how to play chess, and he read books, watched TV with me, and even took me out to play.
He doesn’t recognize many of the new attractions in the imperial capital, but I actually take him there.”
Zheng Duoduo stared at her thoughtfully, secretly hiding his surprise.
"No wonder I don't see much of him... Fortunately, you are with me, otherwise he would be bored alone."
Xue Xin smiled and touched the phone screen and said: "Brother Tietou made an appointment with me to talk on the phone at eight o'clock in the evening.
His place is an hour later than ours, and the sun is probably just setting now.
It was almost time and I went back to the room to wait for his call.
Goodbye, Dudo!"
"oh?
oh oh!"
Zheng Duoduo smiled and said, "Bye."
Watching the happy and energetic girl disappear at the end of the corridor, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"A lot?
A lot?"
a voice shouted.
Zheng Duoduo came back to his senses, turned around quickly, saw Xue's father walking slowly with a small bowl in his hand, and hurriedly went to greet him.
"Uncle, why did you come out?
There’s not enough heating outside and it’s a bit cold.”
Father Xue smiled lovingly: "It's okay, it's not too cold.
I just sent Zhilan and his family out, and I came out wearing an extra sweater.
The pastry chef in the big kitchen made Lily Peach Gum Soup, which was very sweet and delicious.
I'll bring you something to eat."
Zheng Duoduo was deeply moved and reached out to take it.
"Thank you uncle.
Have you eaten?
Let’s go back to the living room and eat together.”
Father Xue shook his head: "My blood sugar is a little high these days, so I can't eat too much sweet food.
You eat, you eat, eat quickly! You work hard and Ah Chun is not at home. You have lost a lot of weight recently!"
Zheng Duoduo smiled vaguely: "...I'm fine, I will recover soon."
Father Xue moved forward and whispered: "Duoduo, your life is still very long, and there are still many hurdles that you need to go through.
Let's not be in a hurry, let's go slowly.
My uncle heard your aunt say before that you were going to accompany your girlfriend to her house for New Year greetings this year, but he didn’t hear her mention it again, and you looked like this - this probably didn’t go well, right?"
"Um."
Zheng Duoduo did not hide anything, explaining: "Her parents look down on me, and she is also afraid that I will covet her family's property, so she has no choice but to break up."
"Is that so?"
Father Xue was a little dumbfounded: "There is no room for negotiation?"
Zheng Duoduo shook his head: "The relationship between me and her is no longer pure. With suspicion and disdain, forcing us to stay together will only make it more painful."
Originally, he thought Xia Tingting would not be too affected by her parents, but when she came up with the prenuptial agreement, he was completely disappointed.
She didn't like his family, looked down upon the aunt who was a cleaner, and was even more worried that he was after her family's property. She listed several pieces of paper, dozens of them, and every word was an insult and disapproval of him.
trust.
How can he persist in such a relationship! Father Xue smiled bitterly: "Young people nowadays... are so powerful! In our time, everyone's family was pretty much the same. Everyone lived tightly, and I didn't hear much about it.
Who doesn’t look down on whom?
At most, those who come from the city dislike those who come from the town, and those who come from the town dislike those who come from the countryside, but the difference is not big and there is nothing to look down upon."
"Uncle, times have changed!"
Zheng Duoduo took two bites with a spoon and praised: "It's delicious!"
Father Xue smiled happily and said warmly: "If it tastes good, eat more."
Duoduo, Ah Chun and Tietou went to Wenguo for a trip, and they probably won't be back for a while.
Why don't you move to the garden and live there for a while, where there will be more people and more excitement."
"No, it's too much trouble."
Zheng Duoduo refused, explaining: "I can cook something in the morning and eat it casually, and lunch and dinner can be taken care of at the company.
There is a washing machine to wash your clothes, and you can just clean up when you have time. It’s not much work at all.”
Dad Xue said "Hey", "I'm afraid it will be too hard for you to be alone if you fall out of love. I can rest assured that you are under our eyes."
Datong is far away in the south. He has to work and take care of his old mother and young children. He is usually very busy and has not been able to come to the imperial capital for several years.
Xiao Yi is now the deputy director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and is very busy at work. Her parents-in-law have to help take her two children to and from school. She cannot take care of her own family, let alone take care of her younger brother.
Lao Zheng has such a young son who has never married, so he naturally has to take more care of him.
Zheng Duoduo smiled and whispered: "Uncle, don't worry.
I'm fine... I just need some time to recover."
After all, the feelings I gave sincerely were all gone in vain. It is impossible to say that I am not sad or uncomfortable.
But he is not an ungrateful person, and he is no longer the passionate and impulsive young man in adolescence. He needs some time to recover and adjust.
"I've lost so much weight!"
Father Xue said distressedly: "You still said it's okay?
You can move here for a few days, and then go back when Achun comes back.
There are so many guest rooms here, and the bedding is all ready-made.
You only need to bring two sets of clothes and nothing else.
Breakfast is very important. How can you deal with it by yourself?
There are chefs cooking here every day, and the dishes are so rich that all you need to do is use a pair of chopsticks.
I ate at the company for lunch and the big cafeteria for dinner, which was not nutritious at all.
Look at you, you have lost so much weight! I will be very distressed and sad when Ah Chun comes back."
Zheng Duoduo could only nod: "Okay, then I will listen to you, uncle.
I’ll pack up some clothes and bring them in tomorrow!”
Even though he is over thirty years old, he is still a child in his uncle's eyes. He is worried that he will not have enough to eat and that he will not be able to manage his life alone - it feels good to have someone hurt him.
He raised the small bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "The master's craftsmanship is really amazing! I was greedy for it."
"That's so good!"
Father Xue nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat more.
Everyone said it was delicious, I just left two bowls for you!"
Zheng Duoduo smiled and hugged Father Xue's shoulders.
