The cold waves this winter have been constant, one after another, with heavy snow falling every now and then, making it so cold that people don’t want to go out.
Nonetheless, those who have to go out still have to go out.
After Cheng Tianyuan returned from the nursing home, he took a detour to the company and did not return home until nightfall.
When I first entered the garage, I found it was empty inside and out, with not a single car.
He went straight to the living room with his briefcase and found only three old people warming themselves in front of the fireplace, chatting and watching TV.
"Dad, Lingling hasn't come back yet?"
Dad Xue: "Oh?"
He said, "No, I left early in the morning and was so busy that I didn't even come back for dinner at noon."
Liu Ying yawned and replied: "She said that the group is very busy at the end of the year and has to go there in the past few days."
Mother Xue looked around: "Why didn't you see Xiaoxin and Laosan?"
"They went out while we were taking a nap."
Father Xue said with a smile: "Young people are not afraid of the cold, so just go out.
I finally have a vacation after my final exams, so I can go wherever I fall in love with."
Cheng Tianyuan took out his mobile phone and opened the family group.
The daughter sent a cute emoticon, and then attached a photo of her and Mr. Qi.
An old man and a young man are sitting in front of the chessboard playing chess. One is smiling kindly, the other is smiling sweetly. There is a small stove making tea next to them, and the water smoke is lingering. It looks warm and happy.
The daughter also said that she would stay and have dinner with the master and then go home in the evening.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and explained: "Xiaoxin went with her master and won't come back for dinner."
"Where's the third child?"
Xue’s mother reminded: “You guys were allowed to drive the car at home, and he went out by car.
It's windy and snowy outside right now, so it's definitely not easy to get by car.
Ayuan, ask the third child if you need to pick him up."
The old mother in Lao Chen's family is seriously ill and has taken leave for the past few days and has not come to work.
When Xue Ling went out, the bodyguard drove the car, as did Xiao Xin, and everyone else drove by themselves.
The third child has not graduated yet, and no one in his family will buy him a car, so he has no choice but to call a car by himself.
Cheng Tianyuan called the third child, but it took a long time before he answered.
"What?
Okay, then walk back."
Then, he hung up and explained: "The third child is coming soon and is walking back from the subway station."
Father Xue couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard this, and whispered: "The snow outside is so thick and the wind is so strong at night that it is not safe to walk."
Cheng Tianyuan rubbed his hands and took off his coat.
"It doesn't matter, they are such big people."
If it was his daughter, he would definitely drive out to pick her up.
My son is different. His legs are so long that he can walk, but it’s not very far.
Liu Ying said angrily: "The wind and snow are so heavy, even though the road is not far, it is very difficult to walk here.
After a while, my shoes and socks got wet, my pants got wet, and it was so cold and uncomfortable! You didn't go out to pick him up and you made sarcastic remarks!"
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head indifferently and sent a message to his wife.
Xue Ling quickly replied, saying that she was on her way back and would be home in about twenty minutes.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoxiao walked over with a big belly and greeted everyone politely.
"Why."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and asked: "Xiaoxiao, tomorrow is the weekend, can I come back to eat tonight?"
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly: "He said he had to work overtime tonight, and a batch of goods had to be packed and sent out quickly. Everyone went to the warehouse to help pack it.
Business is booming at the end of the year, and courier companies will stop accepting orders in a few days. They must use this time to ship goods quickly and try to make a profit."
"So that's it."
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "No wonder I haven't seen him much for a while.
When he is done with his work, let him spend more time with you."
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "He said that when he is free, he will accompany me back to my parents' home.
He is worried that his belly will get bigger and bigger and he will not be able to go out by then, so he wants to take advantage of the Chinese New Year break to come back with me to spend a few days with my parents."
"very good."
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "I asked your mother to help you prepare something to bring to your in-laws.
When the weather gets better next spring, invite them to come and play when they have time."
Wang Xiaoxiao hurriedly answered, then sat between her grandma and grandma, holding her waist, and watched TV with them.
Cheng Tianyuan poured water and drank.
Father Xue on the side asked with concern: "How is Xiaohao?
When will you recover?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "There is nothing wrong with me physically, but my mental condition is not very good.
That sanatorium is pretty good, but it's too small.
It was a bit crowded for Amin to live with him.
The doctor said that his condition goes up and down, and he needs to be observed carefully for a while."
Xue’s father couldn’t help but ask: “Can I be discharged from the hospital during the Chinese New Year?
It’s almost Chinese New Year.”
"no."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: “I can go out to celebrate the New Year with my family, but I have to go back after the festival.
The doctor said that if the situation is optimistic, it may be possible to enroll in school normally in September next year."
Dad Xue stopped and said: "Don't be in a hurry, take good care of yourself first and then go to school.
By the way, are Amin and his wife... over with?"
"not yet."
Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "The two are planning to divorce, but the property has not been settled yet, and they are still arguing about who will give the child."
Xue’s father frowned and asked, “Does it have to be like this?
Can't we leave?
You are already dozens of years old, why are you still so confused?"
Cheng Tianyuan sighed softly: "At first it was my sister-in-law who threatened and shouted that she wanted to leave, but later Amin insisted that we must leave.
My sister-in-law's mother-in-law's family are not very unreasonable, and instead of trying to persuade her to make peace, they try to persuade her to leave.
My sister-in-law listened to her parents' advice and finally insisted on leaving.
One wants to leave and the other doesn't, but it's still possible to persuade them to come down.
Now the two of us have to separate, and no one can persuade us."
"Where are the children?"
Father Xue shook his head and asked: "Do you all support it?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "Xiao Hao's spirit can't stand stimulation, he doesn't know yet.
Several others already know about it, and they all seem to agree."
"What?
!”
Father Xue stared in disbelief and asked: "How is that possible?
agree?
real?"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled bitterly and replied: "The children have long been unable to bear the two of them quarreling all day long. They would rather they live separately and live their own lives. I don't want them to continue to quarrel like this and make the family no longer peaceful."
Father Xue was slightly stunned, and seemed to understand all of a sudden.
"...If that's the case, wouldn't it be a relief for each other?
Although bad fate is fate, it does not necessarily have to be cherished."
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows, feeling that what his father-in-law said tonight seemed too mysterious.
"Dad, you also learned these words from TV?"
Father Xue laughed and shook his head: "No, I read it in the book."
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Your old eyes are still fine. Take a look at it more when you have nothing to do. By the way, you can teach us and a few children."
"Ha ha!"
The old man was made to laugh.
At this moment, the boss drove back and picked up the third child who was covered in snowflakes at the intersection.
Cheng Huanchong ran in with long legs and stamped his feet.
"Wow! It's so cold! It's so cold that I'm shivering!"
