Cheng Tianyuan called his eldest son and asked, "It's so late, why haven't you come back yet?"
The eldest son explained that he was already on the way and would be home in a while.
Cheng Tianyuan heard a slight hesitation in his tone, guessing that it would take "a long time" before he could get home. He was afraid of being nagged by his old father, so he didn't dare to tell the truth.
"It's getting late, go to bed immediately when you get back.
There is enough water in the thermostatic bottle in the living room, so each of us can drink half a glass before going to bed."
After saying that, he hung up the call, put the phone aside, lifted the quilt and fell asleep.
Xue Ling was drowsy and asked funnyly: "How old are the children, and you still follow them all day long to prevent them from falling?"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled helplessly: "If he was just a grown man, I wouldn't care.
Xiaoxin followed him out, not sure if he was going to a crowded bar or a large party.
Xiaoxin is a girl, not a rough guy. Only when I hear that she returns home safely can I really feel relieved."
Xue Ling was really sleepy and fell asleep quickly.
Cheng Tianyuan helped her tuck in the quilt, glanced at the clock on the wall, and found that it was almost two o'clock, so he quickly closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The next morning, everyone went to bed late.
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to go to your parents' house, but Xue Ling is too close and you don't need to go, and Shan You is too far away, so everyone sleeps in and doesn't start walking around until about nine o'clock.
Xue Ling was eating pork porridge and asked: "Who else hasn't had breakfast?"
Lao Li thought for a while and replied: "Sir, I just finished eating, but none of the brothers have come over yet.
Mr. Hu and his family haven’t come to eat yet.”
Xue Ling smiled and said: "In this cold weather, I guess there are only three old people who eat breakfast on time every day."
"right."
Lao Li explained with a smile: "Old Mrs. Liu went out after eating and said she wouldn't come back until dinner."
Xue Ling nodded: "My sister-in-law took her to worship God, and she will have a fast meal at noon and then come back."
She quickly ate the porridge and rice cakes and walked to the front living room to wait for the guests to come and pay New Year greetings.
"I heard there was a blizzard this afternoon."
Cheng Tianyuan reminded: "Send A Fang a message so that it won't be unsafe to come back too late."
Then, he got up and walked out of the living room.
"I'm going to give some instructions to the little ones and push them out of bed."
Xue Ling smiled and couldn't help but said: "Forget it, it's Chinese New Year. Anyway, besides eating, I just play.
It's very cold outside and we can't go out to play. It's good to let them sleep a little longer."
"It's almost ten o'clock."
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "As long as you get enough sleep, you can't stay in bed until noon."
Xue Ling ignored him, took out a pack of Pu'er tea, took out a handful and made tea.
After a while, Cheng Tianyuan came back with a bad expression.
The two had been married for many years, and she knew her husband very well, so she asked: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Tianyuan said solemnly: "Xiaoxin... didn't go home last night."
Forehead?
! Xue Ling suddenly thought of something and asked: "What do you say?
Did they go out together last night?"
"yes."
Cheng Tianyuan said solemnly: "That brat said...Xinzhi picked her up halfway."
Xue Ling felt slightly embarrassed and lowered her head to continue making tea.
Cheng Tianyuan frowned: "You--just give him a call."
"……it's not good."
Xue Ling couldn't laugh or cry: "Even if we want to look for her, we have to look for our daughter first."
Cheng Tianyuan grimaced and lowered his voice: "He took our daughter away in the middle of the night and didn't come back all night.
As parents, can’t we even make a phone call and ask?”
"OK."
Xue Ling suppressed a laugh: "Then you go and fight, I won't go."
Cheng Tianyuan's eyes twitched and he whispered: "Why?
I'm...not very suitable."
"You are the one who is worried about your daughter, and you are the one who wants to question others about having a daughter."
Xue Ling asked funnyly: "Why are you not suitable?
how?
Do I have to wear blackface?”
Cheng Tianyuan took a deep breath and finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
"You are so old! You don't have any sense! If it weren't for him -" "You would have killed him with a knife, right?"
Xue Ling said with a smile: "Fortunately it is Tietou we are familiar with, otherwise no one would dare to chase our daughter."
Cheng Tianyuan was angry: "She is just eighteen years old, and the most critical college entrance examination is next semester.
At this age and at this time, where is the right place to fall in love?
!If it were any other man, I-I would have chased him away with a broom!"
Xue Ling poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
"People who are in love are not smart at all.
Tietou is not an unreasonable person, he may have been delayed for something, and with a little love brain, it is inevitable that he will go out of his way.
Since we have tacitly agreed to their affairs from the beginning, we should follow the principle of not disturbing them, let them develop, and continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb."
Cheng Tianyuan looked at her angrily and said: "Tacit agreement does not mean that you can stay up all night! What if - what if... if I accidentally get pregnant with a child, what do you think I should do?
ah?"
Forehead?
Xue Ling rolled his eyes in embarrassment and whispered: "Probably... no."
"Are you sure?"
Cheng Tianyuan said harshly: "Now is the critical period for entering higher education. There are still several years of schooling to go! She is not a boy. If she accidentally gets pregnant - if she doesn't get rid of the child, her studies will have to be suspended.
.
If she was really willing to take it off, her body would be damaged and her studies would have to be delayed for a while.
No matter which aspect you look at, it’s not good at all for our Xiaoxin!”
Xue Ling was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"What you said makes sense.
On this point... we have to be more cautious and let our children know how to take protective measures so as not to cause a small 'life' at such a young age."
Cheng Tianyuan was still very angry and said harshly: "She is only seventeen or eighteen years old, how old is Chen Xinzhi?
!How can he have no sense of propriety at all!"
"Okay, okay."
Xue Ling held down his hand and lowered his voice: "Don't yell blindly, it won't be good if the news gets spread accidentally.
No matter how familiar Tietou is with us, he is still Sister Achun's son, not ours.
Regarding our children, even if both of them are wrong, we cannot catch them all together and teach them a lesson.
We teach our own children ourselves.
Our sons and daughters were born and raised by us. Even if we beat and scold them, when we turn around, they will still be as close to us as we are.
My daughter-in-law and son-in-law are both children of other families. We need to pay more attention to the way we speak to avoid hurting our feelings.
When you are angry, you will be unable to control your emotions and may speak harshly. Once there is a crack, it will be difficult to repair it."
Cheng Tianyuan was a little impatient, but had to force himself to calm down.
"...Okay, then I won't talk about him, I'll talk about my daughter, right?"
Xue Ling shook his head: "No, I am a mother, and I have also had girlish thoughts.
For a topic like this, it would be more appropriate for me to discuss it."
He is so impulsive right now, but he must not be allowed to take over this matter.
The daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket. Now that the little cotton-padded jacket has not really grown up, someone is already thinking about taking it away. You can imagine how uncomfortable the old father feels.
Cheng Tianyuan said solemnly: "She will come back later, tell her immediately!"
