Unexpectedly, Xue Ling soon discovered that this was not the case.
Everyone was eating and chatting happily.
"Lao San, eat more sea cucumbers."
Cheng Tianyuan reminded in a warm voice: "Baked with pork bone soup, it is nutritious."
Cheng Huanchong held his cell phone, picked up a piece with his chopsticks, and replied absently: "Thank you, Dad."
Father Xue looked around and asked: "Where is the boss?"
Didn’t you say you could come back early tonight?”
“Can’t come back in time for dinner.”
Cheng Tianyuan explained: “I said I won’t be able to get home until later.
The so-called coming back early means you don't have to stay up until midnight."
Xue Xin clicked her tongue in distress: "Big brother and second brother are really working hard! I heard from the second sister-in-law that the second brother hasn't been home for several days."
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly: "He said that the express delivery would be stopped the day after tomorrow. The packing employees in the warehouse were working in three shifts these two days, and he did not dare to run away.
There has been a severe traffic jam recently, and it is difficult to drive fast in snowy weather. It takes more than an hour to go back and forth on the road.
He must use this time to sleep as much as possible."
Xue Ling said warmly: "The end of the year will be busier, so when he is done, we have to let him rest more and exercise more.
Stay up late less often and exercise well so that you can have a healthy body to fight when you are busy."
"Um."
Wang Xiaoxiao nodded: "Mom, I will tell him."
Liu Ying on the side put down her chopsticks and echoed seriously: "Mom, I will tell him.
Mom, I will tell him.
Mom, I will tell him."
Everyone laughed.
Xue Ling handed the small spoon to the old man and said warmly: "Mom, eat some lily pot, be careful not to burn it."
Liu Ying took it and continued eating slowly.
Xue’s father couldn’t help but ask: “Lao San, who are you sending messages to?
Such a delicious dish, why not eat it quickly?"
“Chat with seniors on WeChat.”
Cheng Huanchong smiled happily and narrowed his eyes, explaining: "I sent emoticons to him on the screen.
I just discovered that he has so few emoticons, even fewer than me."
Xue Ling looked at his son with complicated eyes and found that he was happily immersed in his mobile phone and couldn't even concentrate on eating.
Mother Xue on the side was filled with emotion: "I used to always say that a young man raised by a wealthy family is noble and elegant, but I just listened to it and thought it was just that, not to be taken seriously.
I never thought that at this age, I would finally have the opportunity to meet a young master - oh! The rumors are indeed true! His temperament, his eyebrows, his demeanor - it's really amazing!"
After saying this, she looked at the old husband next to her with disgust.
"Your Xue family is also a big family after all. Why is there such a big gap between you and others?"
Forehead?
Dad Xue put down his chopsticks in a funny way and said: "I am old now, how can I compare with the young people who are just like classmates? To say the least, our Xue family is indeed a big family, but we still can't compare with the Lin family.
He is an old nobleman.
Also, I was not bad when I was young. When I stood in a crowd, I would definitely stand out from the crowd.
Otherwise, why would you have waited so hard for me for so many years?"
Mother Xue was speechless for a moment.
Everyone laughed.
Xue Xin laughed loudly: "Yes! Grandma, grandpa was so handsome when he was young! We have all taken a look at the black and white photos you took when you got married.
There are photos to prove it, my grandpa was definitely a cool kid when he was young!"
"that is!"
Dad Xue raised his chin and explained proudly: "When I was young, I was 1.78 meters tall, tall and thin, and very tall and tall.
Which of the men in our family looks worse?
Everyone looks like a scholar!"
Mother Xue couldn't hold back her laughter, and she hummed proudly: "If a good man doesn't mention his bravery in the past, it's worse than an old man. How dare he mention his bravery in the past?
It’s not a shame!”
"Yo!"
Xue's father asked in a funny voice: "Isn't this all brought up by a bad old woman like you?"
Everyone laughed again! Cheng Huanchong held his phone and smiled excitedly: "Senior, he is so awesome! He has traveled to many countries, even several small countries whose names I have never heard of.
By the way, he has even been to the Middle East where wars are ongoing.
I heard that he almost had an accident several times, but fortunately he was lucky and hired local people as guides, so he finally came back safely."
"Wow!"
Xue Xin's eyes were bright and she blinked: "It's so amazing!"
Cheng Huanchong continued: "When he was a child, he read ancient Chinese and poetry with his grandfather. He skipped two grades in elementary school and once in junior high school. He accompanied his grandfather to visit places of interest during winter and summer vacations.
On weekdays, during school holidays, he has to help his grandfather take care of the collection, and also has to go to the museum to memorize the introduction and explanation of cultural relics.
By the way, when he was ten years old, he was able to successfully pick up items in the antique market, which surprised his grandfather.
When he traveled around, he also bought many precious cultural relics, and many of them were picked up and missed.
I asked him quietly, and it turns out that his personal collection contains thousands of pieces!"
"Wow Mom~~" Wang Xiaoxiao's face was full of envy: "The so-called cheating life is nothing more than this!"
"Uh-huh!"
Cheng Huanchong's face was full of admiration and praised: "He spent more than 200 million to build a collection room, equipped with the most advanced security system and the most sensitive temperature and humidity control system, and finally put his and his grandfather's collections in place.
"
Xue Xin curiously asked: "Is his house really full of antiques?
real?"
"I've only been there once."
Cheng Huanchong explained: “Everywhere looks antique, as if it was in ancient times.
However, the environment where the senior and his parents live is very good, and there is even a greenhouse dedicated to growing flowers!"
"Wow~~" Xue Xin praised: "A rich person who really knows how to enjoy life!"
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and asked: "He is an only son, right?
No other brothers and sisters?"
"Uh-huh."
Cheng Huanchong nodded: "The senior said that his mother gave birth to him when she was older, and he is the only son like him.
His parents don't like liveliness very much, and the house is quite large, so it's usually deserted."
Xue Ling's eyes flashed slightly and he whispered: "In that case, you can't bother others.
The concept of family status and living habits are completely different, so it is not good to get too close to others."
Cheng Huanchong misheard and said with a smile: "No.
When I went there before, his parents came out to say hello to me. They were both very nurturing and enthusiastic elders.
They also told me to come and play there often.
Later, when I was injured and hospitalized, they went out of their way to see me and gave me a cute little jade Buddha, saying they would bless me for a speedy recovery.
By the way, I’m still wearing this jade Buddha!”
After saying this, he took out a thumb-sized jade Buddha from his arms. It looked green and transparent. The carving was excellent and polished to a smooth jade.
Xue's father was a man who knew things. He squinted and took a look, then grabbed his reading glasses and looked again.
"Oh...this thing is probably worth a lot of money!"
Cheng Huanchong laughed and explained: "I originally thought it was too valuable to take, but then my senior asked me to accept it.
He said this was his first successful work when he was learning jade carving.
It was originally given to his mother, but her mother gave it to me."
"Wow! Beautiful!"
"It's beautiful! I heard that the greener the color, the more valuable it is!"
After Xue Ling heard this, his heart sank secretly.
