Cheng Huanran yawned and scratched his black hair: "I'm full.
Do you need any help?"
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and asked: "What?
Did you stay up late last night?"
"without."
Cheng Huanran chuckled and hesitated: "I went to bed before midnight.
Seven and a half hours, enough sleep."
Xue Ling couldn't help but poke at his weakness: "Go home after nine o'clock and return to the room after ten o'clock.
Why do you have to go to bed at midnight?
Calling your girlfriend?"
"Ouch! Mom~" Cheng Huanran hugged her and said coquettishly: "If you know, you have to pretend you don't know, otherwise I will be so embarrassed!"
Xue Ling mocked ruthlessly: "It's not a shameful thing, but why do you keep it secretive all day long?
You're already in your twenties, what's the point of being embarrassed about falling in love?
It’s not like he’s a crooked melon, he looks pretty good, and his studies are pretty good, so it’s strange that no girls like him.
Isn’t it normal for young people to fall in love?”
Cheng Huanran chuckled and whispered: "It's not time to make it public yet!"
"When is the time?"
Xue Ling asked back: "When are you going to get married?
Um?"
Cheng Huanran pretended to think seriously: "Maybe so."
Xue Ling nodded seriously: "Okay.
Say it when you get the certificate, and also say it when serving wine and treating guests.
Don’t worry, we won’t interfere too much.”
"Mom~" Cheng Huanran leaned down and kissed his mother on the cheek: "No, no, no, no! I give up, can I give up to the head office?"
Don't worry, as soon as we all graduate, I will take her home for the New Year.
You are the mother who gave birth to me and raised me. If you don’t interfere in my marriage, who can?
Right?"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong."
Xue Ling finally smiled, "It's natural that you make the decision on your marriage.
Mom is just reminding you, don’t let girls suffer.
When you fall in love with someone, if you really want to achieve success, you have to take the initiative and our family takes the initiative."
"oh."
Cheng Huanran nodded repeatedly: "Let's talk about it after we graduate."
Xue Ling smiled fondly: "Just make up your mind, don't wrong other girls, you know?"
"Know it!"
Cheng Huanran explained: "She is not the kind of little girl who loves to rely on others. She is a loner, strong and hard-working.
She won't feel wronged, don't worry.
If I take her home to meet her parents now, she will be frightened."
Xue Ling lowered her voice: "Strong girls need more care and protection in private.
You, be kinder to others and be more considerate, do you know?"
"yes!"
Cheng Huanran raised his voice.
Xue Ling chuckled: "Did Yangyang tell you that he and that Xiaoxiao have confessed to each other and officially started dating?"
"That boy!"
Cheng Huanran laughed and scolded: "My hands and feet are slow enough! Okay! Our second child finally got the idea!"
Xue Ling was very pleased and said warmly: "You all, please work hard and treat other girls well.
As for the third and fourth children, please don’t cause any trouble for me before the college entrance examination. We can breathe a sigh of relief if we successfully pass the college entrance examination and go to university."
"Do not worry."
Cheng Huanran patted his chest: "I can guarantee you that their results will definitely be better than mine!"
Xue Ling gave up and said, "You are all unique in Mom's heart, there is no need to compare."
"Thank you mom!"
Cheng Huanran smiled and asked: "I have prepared all the gifts, do you need to do anything else?"
Xue Ling hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and gave it to him.
"This is today's lunch menu. Go check with Old Uncle Li and the others to see if there is anything you need to add."
"Okay!"
The eldest son took it and ran to the back kitchen.
At this time, Xue’s father walked over while holding his tie.
"Ling, why can't I tie this tie suddenly?
Please help me take a look."
Xue Ling suppressed laughter and hurriedly helped her old father tie his tie.
"Dad, why are you so grand?
You are not the protagonist today!"
Father Xue chuckled and said: "Xiao Chong and Xiao Xin have grown up, and we are very happy! Today there is a photographer coming to take a family photo for us, so we have to dress more formally.
By the way, remember to take a photo of me and your mother later."
"rest assured!"
Xue Ling gave a thumbs up: "I will take the most beautiful picture for you!"
Father Xue smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go and urge your mother.
The skirt you bought her last time was very nice, I have to let her wear it for photos today."
"Go quickly, go quickly!"
Xue Ling waved her hand and said, "She must be coaxed to put it on!"
Father Xue happily walked around.
At this moment, Cheng Huanchong yawned and shook his head.
"Mom~ why is it so noisy?
What time is it?"
Xue Ling looked at the watch on his wrist and replied, "It's almost eight o'clock."
Then, she helped pull up her youngest son's pajamas.
"Go wash up first and put on the clothes mom bought you later.
It’s your birthday today, so you must be in good spirits!”
Cheng Huan Chongjun blushed slightly and asked, "Mom, what gift have you prepared for me this year?"
"Do not ask."
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows: "We won't make it public for now, I'll keep it for you as a surprise."
Cheng Huanchong curled his lips in disappointment: "Okay, it's not a few hours away anyway."
"Go wash up quickly!"
Xue Ling pushed him to the bathroom, turned around and knocked on his daughter's room: "Xiaoxin! It's time to get up!"
The room was quiet and there was no reaction at all.
Xue Ling did not continue, turned around and drove away.
Around noon, guests started arriving one after another.
Zhu Achun and Zheng Duoduo arrived first, with their hands full.
"Let's come here first. Tietou said we would arrive later. He is probably preparing gifts."
Xue Zhilan and Chen also came with their three children. They explained with a smile: "A Heng and A Fang went to buy gifts. Send us in first.
Xiao Yi has the first half of the day off today, Ah Huan will pick her up after get off work and come back later."
Cheng Tianyuan came out with fruits and snacks, and several children immediately swarmed him.
"Slow down, there are a lot of them! Come on, come on! These are chestnuts roasted in the big kitchen, they are delicious!"
"Dad! I want it too!"
Xue Yang pulled off his backpack and rushed over: "Smell the old fragrance!"
Everyone laughed and teased him one after another.
"Yangyang is back!"
"Hey! I heard that Yangyang is in love, look at his energy and big smile!"
"Yangyang, please teach me some tricks to pick up girls! Brother Duoduo also wants to be single!"
Xue Yang laughed loudly, picked up the snacks and ran away with his cousins.
Cheng Tianyuan pushed his youngest son and whispered: "Xiao Chong, it's past ten o'clock, isn't your sister still sleeping?
Go call her out."
"Why!"
Cheng Huanchong responded and ran away.
After a while, he came back suspiciously.
"Dad, Xiaoxin is not in the room.
I looked elsewhere and didn't see her."
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows: "Will you go out?
You go to the doorman and ask."
"okay!"
Cheng Huanchong ran away again.
After a while, he came back with a strange expression.
"Dad, um... the doorman said she went out at around 11 o'clock last night and hasn't come back yet."
What?
! Cheng Tianyuan was startled and exclaimed: “Where is she going?
