Xue Ling comforted her son and then called Xue Huan.
"Please arrange things over there, please."
The cousins discussed in a low voice before hanging up the call.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at his beloved wife with a very poor expression, and secretly felt heartbroken.
"Aren't you asleep yet?
Do you know how bad your face looks?
Go to sleep quickly for two or three hours, and I'll wake you up at nine o'clock for breakfast."
Xue Ling threw the phone aside and smiled tiredly.
"It doesn't matter, I have to make sure not to be too sad.
He can't sleep well, and I, as a mother, can't sleep well either."
Cheng Tianyuan sighed quietly and frowned.
"...Is this the first time you've made an exception?"
Xue Ling shook his head and smiled: "Definitely not.
I keep saying 'separate public and private matters' all day long, but in fact I pretend to be public and private from time to time."
Cheng Tianyuan pulled her to lie down and covered her with a thin quilt.
"'Yes' or 'No', I know best.
As we get older, our hearts tend to soften."
Xue Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Maybe.
I found that since I retired, my heart has become softer day by day, and I have become more and more indulgent towards my children.
Maybe I’m really old, maybe it’s because I already have confidence in them.”
Cheng Tianyuan lay beside her and breathed out gently.
"The children are all grown up, and each has his or her own circumstances.
None of them have suffered any major setbacks, and there are some hurdles or pitfalls for them to jump over, which is not necessarily a bad thing."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "You are right, but I really feel sorry for the boss this time.
他刚刚失恋,转身相爱的恋人反目成仇,不仅找人来揍他,转身还诬蔑他的医德和品德.
Not only that, his information was exposed indiscriminately, and all kinds of messy news flew around the Internet.
He worked hard to keep a low profile for many years, but he was unexpectedly exposed in such an embarrassing way.
The hospital has been criticized a lot, and students and colleagues have also expressed doubts.
He not only had to face the betrayal of his former lover, but also faced overwhelming negative news, and his career and moral character were greatly criticized.
Now he really needs our full support."
"Um."
After listening to her explanation, Cheng Tianyuan sighed: "Maybe he is the eldest son in the family, and my expectations and requirements for him are always higher than those of the others.
I blamed him blindly for being ignorant of people and inviting wolves into the house, but I ignored his discomfort."
Xue Ling turned sideways and stroked his chest.
"I know.
You are concerned and worried in your heart, but you can't express it with your mouth. You can only say some harsh words to discipline him.
The so-called ‘strict father’ should be like you.”
Cheng Tianyuan was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Before...when they were young, I would take care of their food and drink, and take them to and from school.
Later, they grew up one by one and each had their own circle of friends and social circles. Apart from calling me "Dad", they had almost no communication.
I will be particularly doting on Xiaoxin, and I will always maintain the image of a 'strict father' towards the three men, requiring them to be strict with themselves.
Maybe it's for this reason that they didn't talk to me much afterwards, but they always liked to go to the study to chat with you."
Xue Ling smiled softly and asked, "Have you noticed that our family has changed?"
"Forehead?"
Cheng Tianyuan asked confusedly: "What has changed?
where?"
Xue Ling took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I used to be a 'strict mother', and you were a 'loving father'.
Later, as my children grew up, I gradually softened my heart and felt sorry for them, and gradually became a 'loving mother'.
Maybe you haven't changed at all, it's just because my reference point for comparison has changed, so you appear to be stricter.
They say 'a strict father and a loving mother', our family has finally returned to normal."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and stroked her back.
"It's not a change, it's just a return to normal."
Xue Ling found a comfortable position to lean against in his arms and whispered: "The strict one will always be less popular.
what would you do?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled and patted her shoulder: "They have all grown up and will find their own companions.
All I need is you as my wife, as long as I am welcomed by you, nothing else matters to me."
Xue Ling also smiled, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
... Although Cheng Tianyuan, his wife and several children tried their best to conceal it, the three old people were not fools and quickly discovered the clues.
Dad Xue was the first to notice something was wrong and whispered: "What's going on?
Yesterday was not the weekend, and today is not Sunday, so why are all the children back?"
"yes!"
Liu Ying curiously asked: "Whose birthday is it?
who?
I might have forgotten!"
Mother Xue thought about it seriously and shook her head slowly: "No, no one has had a birthday in the past two or three days."
Liu Yinghu asked: "What's going on?"
Father Xue looked back and whispered: "Ling Ling and A Yuan have been running in and out these past two days, and they probably came back very late last night.
Lingling hasn't come out for breakfast yet, it's already past nine o'clock."
"Could something happen?"
Mother Xue asked.
Father Xue was slightly stunned and asked: "What can happen?
We have a double happiness at home, and we are looking forward to the wedding next week."
Liu Ying laughed and said: "Yes, yes! Most likely I am going to arrange the marriage between Luo Yangyang and Xiaoxiao."
Father Xue comforted them, making tea and drinking tea thoughtfully.
After a while, he looked for his daughter's room and found that the door was still closed.
The old man didn't give up, and went to Cheng Huanran's room with a suspicious look on his face. He found that the door was also closed and he seemed to be still sleeping.
"Grandpa?"
Cheng Huanchong's voice came from behind: "Do you have a problem with Big Brother?"
Xue's father turned around, waved to him, and asked in a low voice: "Lao San, what happened at home?"
Forehead?
Cheng Huanchong laughed.
"Grandpa, what can happen?
Nothing happened, don't worry."
Father Xue looked at him angrily and whispered: "If you don't say anything, we old people will definitely be worried.
What happened?
Why did you all suddenly run home?
Did something big happen outside?
From home?
Or from outside?”
Cheng Huanchong shook his head like a rattle and hesitated: "...No! None! We are all fine."
"Then why are you all back?"
Father Xue frowned and urged: "Quick! Tell the truth!"
Cheng Huanchong chuckled and apologized: "...it's nothing.
I have started my class today in advance, so I can go home and have a meal while I have nothing to do."
"What about the others?"
Father Xue ordered in a deep voice: "Speak quickly!"
Cheng Huanchong saw that his grandfather was "angry" and did not dare to disobey the old man, so he had to secretly weigh the pros and cons and choose one thing to talk about that would eventually let the old man know.
"I heard... eldest brother and sister Qiao Hui broke up.
I was worried that he would be too sad, so I went home to spend time with him when there was no class.
The fourth child went home to accompany Brother Tietou and comfort his elder brother.
The second brother and the second sister-in-law both live at home, you knew that early in the morning."
After hearing this, the old man frowned and felt regretful.
