At around seven o'clock, the duty room of the hospital became lively. Doctors and nurses went to work one after another, and various inspections and medication orders were flying around.
Cheng Huanran twisted the hot water bottle to fill it with water.
Xue Ling sat listlessly aside.
Xiaohan was so frightened that she was mentally unstable. She woke up when there was the slightest noise outside.
Xue Ling held her hand and chatted with her in a low voice.
Xiaohan's eyes were red and she whispered: "Auntie, where is my father?"
"He was exhausted and fell asleep outside."
Xue Ling whispered: "Just fell asleep on the bench."
Xiaohan lowered his eyes and pouted aggrievedly: "Auntie, I miss my dad... I want him to talk to me."
"no."
Xue Ling frowned and whispered: "He only slept for an hour or so, let him sleep a little longer."
Xiaohan swallowed even more: "But without dad here, I can't help but feel scared."
"fool."
Xue Ling smiled and coaxed: "Auntie is with you, dad is protecting you outside, and cousin Ranran is there, so why should you be afraid?
The bad guys have been arrested by the police, and they will not and dare not hurt you again.
This is a hospital, the largest hospital in the imperial capital. There are doctors and nurses outside, and they are all protecting your body.
There are security guards guarding each door of the hospital to prevent dangerous people from approaching."
Xiaohan twitched and whispered, "Auntie, I...I'm still very scared."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Xue Ling said: "Your mother has returned by plane and will be able to reach the Imperial Capital in the evening.
She will take a long vacation next and can always be with you.
Your father will always be with you."
Xiaohan couldn't help but think of her mother, and she felt aggrieved and cried again.
"Mom, why did she go so long?
Does she not love me anymore?
You haven't sent me any messages these past few days?
Does she not want me again?"
Xue Ling frowned and asked: "Who told you that your mother doesn't want you?
Your mother cares about you, so how could she be willing to give up on you?"
Xiaohan picked her fingers and complained: "She hasn't been with me for a long time..." "Adults need to make money and work."
Xue Ling explained: "Your father needs to go to work, and so does your mother.
If you don’t make money, where will the money come from to support your education and your living?”
Xiaohan muttered: "But dad already has a lot of money, what can he do that can't give some to mom?
If dad gives her several hundred million, mom won’t have to work."
"wrong."
Xue Ling said: "Even if your father is willing to give it to her, she won't take it.
Even if your mother has hundreds of millions, she will still insist on working.
For example, your dad has more than hundreds of millions around him, doesn’t he have to keep working?”
Xiaohan pouted: "After all, in the eyes of you adults, money is the most important thing."
"Who said that?"
Xue Ling shook his head: "Money is important, but it is not the most important.
Although your dad is rich, if he doesn't work hard to make money, the money in his account will soon depreciate.
Doing business is risky. If his investment fails, he may lose money quickly and may even need to go into debt.
The former richest man in Asia is still working in his nineties and has only arranged to retire in the past two years.
how?
Do you think he is short of money?
Sometimes money is in your pocket. If you don't work hard to guard it, the money will slowly disappear and disappear in a way you can't imagine.
If you can avoid making money and ensure that you always have money to spend, and all future generations will have money to spend, then who will take the initiative to make money?
Right?"
Xiaohan had no words to retort and said in a low voice: "I don't need a lot of money, and my father and mother don't actually have to work so hard to make money."
"You're wrong again."
Xue Ling chuckled: "You may not have much money now, but what about the future?
How long can you hold on?
Your father is over fifty and your mother is almost fifty. They will soon enter their old age.
Unless you can protect their property and take care of them, how can they dare to stop working?
Xiaohan, can you take care of your parents?
Are you ready to take good care of your grandparents like your father?"
Xiaohan was stunned and turned his eyes away in embarrassment.
"Auntie, aren't you retired too?
What do my dad and my mom do not retire early?”
Xue Ling replied: "I have retired, but your uncle has not been able to retire.
Moreover, several of my children have already started to make money. The eldest and second eldest have graduated, and the third and fourth have started to go to college. They can make money in just a few years.
Even if I get old and no longer earn money, they should still be able to support me.
Xiaohan, what about you?
If your parents don't go to work to make money and stay with you every day, then can you bear the responsibility of raising them in the future?"
Xiaohan was extremely embarrassed and murmured: "I... am still young, so I don't think much about it."
"Not too young."
Xue Ling reminded: "You will be fifteen years old soon and have haircut.
In ancient times, a woman's haircut meant she had reached adulthood.
You already know how to find a boyfriend by yourself, how can you still be young?
When you get older, you should take on whatever responsibilities you have to bear.
Which of your cousins needs your parents to be with you all the time?
And your Yue cousin, his parents are very busy. He worked as a dormitory student at a young age and only goes home once a week.
When he went to sleepover at school, he was a year or two younger than you are now."
Xiaohan had nothing to say to refute, and it was hard to say anything else. Xue Ling held her hand tightly and whispered: "Xiaohan, you are almost growing up. You have to learn to be more independent. You also have to learn to think about your father and mother.
Think about them and be considerate of them."
"oh."
Xiaohan responded weakly.
Xue Ling looked at her fragile and helpless appearance, feeling a little helpless for a moment.
"What do you want to eat?
I asked your cousin Ranran to go out and buy it."
Xiaohan thought for a while and whispered: "I want to have breakfast at XX Hotel."
"……Too far."
Xue Ling explained: "That place is more than ten kilometers away from here, and now it is the peak period of traffic jam. You can't go back and forth in less than two hours."
Xiaohan was very disappointed and murmured: "How about asking my dad to get up and buy it."
Xue Ling was secretly unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Your father's waist is uncomfortable, let him sleep a little longer."
Xiaohan curled her lips: "Dad's waist is often bad, he has always been like this."
"You -" Xue Ling frowned and asked, "You know your father's waist is uncomfortable, so why don't you think about him?
Don’t you feel sorry for him?”
Xiaohan was stunned and avoided her sight in embarrassment.
"I...of course I feel sad.
But I'm hungry, and my favorite breakfast is at XX Hotel.
Dad has a car, so he can just drive to buy it, and there is no need to work hard while sitting in the car."
Xue Ling burst into laughter and asked, "When you first learned to ride a bicycle, you were afraid of falling and found it too strenuous, so you gave up after only a few days.
You can’t even control a small bicycle, how can you think it’s easy to drive a big car on the road for two hours?”
Xiaohan hesitated and couldn't speak.
Xue Ling said: "I'll call your uncle and ask him to go to the big kitchen and pack some morning tea-type breakfast when he comes over, okay?
If it doesn’t work, then don’t eat it, you won’t be hungry after hanging the bottle anyway.”
Xiaohan's eyes were red and she murmured: "...Okay."
