Late at night, Cheng Tianyuan came home after a busy day, still smelling of alcohol.
"I only drank half a glass, and the client became drunk after just a few drinks. I asked the driver to take him home and took a taxi back."
Xue Ling poured a glass of water for him to drink and said: "Don't drink tea at night, drink some water, and have a rest early."
Cheng Tianyuan drank water and took a bath, then climbed into bed tiredly.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing at home today?"
Xue Ling put down the magazine in her hand and explained with a smile: "I took Ranran and Xiao Qiao to pick up the car in the morning, drank tea and watched TV with my parents in the afternoon, and weeded the weeds and watered the flowers with them in the evening.
Come over for dinner and chat with me until about nine o'clock before going back."
Cheng Tianyuan stretched and asked, "What's the price of the car?"
"Three hundred thousand."
Xue Ling replied: "They all chose the styles themselves, and the price difference is only 20,000 to 30,000.
Ran Ran said that they had just graduated and it was not easy for them to drive too luxurious a car.
This price is already a bit high for these young doctors.”
Cheng Tianyuan squinted his eyes and whispered: "The price is okay, the key is that they like it.
The Qiao family was originally going to buy it for them, but we will not fill it in, so that the Qiao family will not worry about the material injustice their daughter will suffer when she marries."
"Um."
Xue Ling explained: "I picked out a few apartments in two communities near the hospital and asked them to choose one so they can move in at any time."
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "With decoration?
Have you ever rented it?”
"I rented them all."
Xue Ling replied: "Two sets were just renovated a year ago, and I asked Xiao Liao to take them back a while ago.
After they made their choice, I gave them a sum of money to decorate myself.
It’s entirely up to the young couple to decide how they want to decorate and do it.”
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully: "You won't help them?"
"How can I help them with everything?"
Xue Ling chuckled: "If we don't let them follow, they don't know how much the house and decoration will cost.
Anyway, the hospital has a dormitory where I can stay, and if it fails, I can still go home.
After the decoration is completed, they will move again."
Cheng Tianyuan immediately understood her "good intentions" and chuckled: "Yes, we have to show them the specific price range of houses in the imperial capital, especially in urban areas where land is so expensive.
We also need to let them know how many years they have to work to make a down payment and how many years to pay for renovations based on their current salary."
"right."
Xue Ling lowered his voice: "The down payment is enough to buy a house in Qiao's house."
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head and smiled, "We don't need to say anything, just let Xiao Qiao have some confidence.
Since she has come to our home, we will naturally not treat her badly.
What their family can give her, we can also give her, and more."
"No matter which one they pick, the ones near the hospital are all in her name."
Xue Ling said: "It can be regarded as a wedding gift to them."
Cheng Tianyuan gave a thumbs up: "The most generous mother-in-law!"
"Ha ha!"
Xue Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Everyone is worried.
The second and third sons went to Wenguo with Tietou and the others, and I gave them tens of thousands of yuan in subsidies.
Although Tietou says he is responsible for everything, there are many places where they spend money when they go out, so it is not easy to leave their pockets empty and let Tietou carry everything for them."
"They are all gold-eating beasts!"
Cheng Tianyuan laughed and scolded.
Xue Ling chuckled, sighed and said with a smile: "I thought the boss would finally graduate and make money, but who would have thought that the last few big losses have been spent on him."
"It's still far away!"
Cheng Tianyuan reminded: "Next, we have to pay for betrothal gifts and wedding banquets -" "No, no, no, no."
Xue Ling was so frightened that she stopped: "Let them make money first, let them experience the hardship of making money, and let them know how heavy the burden on the family is.
Just help a little bit, don't do everything, it won't do any good."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded and asked, "They haven't decided when to get married?"
"They said we should get the certificate first at the end of the year."
Xue Ling said: "Let's talk about it then. Don't be in a hurry to ask, let alone make arrangements."
Cheng Tianyuan funnyly reminded: "I have to persuade a few old people not to be too anxious. They just didn't write the word 'urge to marry' on their foreheads."
"As an old man, it is human nature to wish that the younger generation would get married soon and have great-grandchildren soon."
Xue Ling whispered: "As parents, we just have to control ourselves."
Cheng Tianyuan took a long breath, as if sighing or sighing.
"Those who get married know that family responsibilities are heavy. There are seniors and juniors, and they also have to work hard for a career. Life is not that easy.
First stabilize your job and relax for two or three years, and don't rush to get married and have children, otherwise they will definitely regret it later."
When I was a child, my childhood was very joyful, but I was ignorant and did not understand what sorrow and helplessness were at all.
When I was a little older, I started studying until I was in my twenties.
Medical students have very heavy studies, and they all know very well how busy their eldest son has been in recent years.
Xue Huan and his wife are both doctors. They occasionally meet on duty. The couple cannot see each other for three to two days or even several days. If their two children were not brought up by their uncle and Zhilan, they probably would not be sent to the nursery.
It's a dormitory school. I have no choice but to do it.
"It is not good to marry late and have children late, but it is not good to marry early and have children early. If you are not mentally mature, you will not be able to shoulder the responsibility."
Xue Ling nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, give them a few years."
Cheng Tianyuan seemed to remember something and asked: "Should we—should we have to help take care of the grandchildren?"
"how?
You don’t want to?”
Xue Ling asked funnyly: "Are you willing to give it up?
Have you never heard of a kiss a generation apart?
Maybe you will be competing to help lead it then!"
Cheng Tianyuan laughed out loud: "Maybe.
However, now, just thinking about the addition of a chubby and cute child in our family, I feel...I feel very happy and relieved."
"Look!"
Xue Ling couldn't help but ridicule: "Just thinking about it, you are already like this.
If I let you take a second look in the future, the custody will be ruined immediately, and you will be scrambling to take care of your grandchildren."
Cheng Tianyuan laughed and yawned.
"Sister Achun and the other kids are going abroad to play, why don't you ask Duoduo to pack some clothes and stay here.
It’s not easy to cook something by yourself, and it’s unhygienic to always eat food from outside.
A kitchen as big as ours needs a pair of chopsticks."
"Leave him."
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled softly: "That boy finally caught up with Xiao Tong and hugged the beauty back - the two of them are now mixing honey with oil! There are so many now, even if he is allowed to eat bran and steamed buns, he will think it is a delicacy in the world.
"
"real?"
Cheng Tianyuan said happily: "Another good thing!"
"you do not say!"
Xue Ling chuckled: "Sister Ah Chun is so happy that she can't sleep lately, and she is busy preparing a wedding room for them."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and asked: "Doesn't Xin Zhi have a share in the courtyard house he bought behind?
Such a big yard can accommodate several families.
If the brothers live separately in the future, what will Sister Achun do?
