This year's winter came late, but it came fiercely.
After the first snowfall, it will be continuously cold, and it will stay cold for several days.
Xue Ling couldn't take care of the flowers and vegetables in the back garden, and had to take care of Wang Qing every day.
The weather was so cold that Xue's father and mother were not allowed to leave Xinyuan even half a step.
Squatting next to the oven during the day and blowing on the heater at night, even when eating, there must be a heater, otherwise other juniors will be worried.
The Xinyuan area is too large and the cost of heating is extremely high. However, considering that the elderly cannot be exposed to the cold, and there are a few little carrots, each of whom is the main force in the resistance, Xue Ling has always insisted on heating the entire area.
"Except for unoccupied rooms, heating must be turned on everywhere else."
Xue Ling gave up and said, "Don't even think about saving a little money. If the elderly and children get cold and sick, it won't just be about money."
Cheng Huanran was only wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt and walked over with Xiaozhu on his neck.
"Mom, how has Aunt Wang Qing been doing these past two days?
What about the little tigers and mini tigers?
It seems like I haven’t seen them in a few days.”
Xue Ling lowered his eyes and replied: "They haven't been to kindergarten in the past two days.
Shan You came and said he wanted to spend a few days with the child.
The weather was too cold and gloomy, so she left her child with her at the hotel."
Cheng Huanran said "Oh" and asked, "Uncle Shanyue and the others are following?"
"Seems to be."
Xue Ling shook his head: "They didn't contact me, and I didn't take the initiative to contact them.
Xiao Huzi only said that Shan You was here that night, but didn't say anything else."
Cheng Huanran was not interested in continuing to ask questions and continued to tease the little nephew on his neck.
Kang An was on the side, pinching Xue's mother's shoulders, and asked warmly: "Grandma, are you feeling better?"
“So much better!”
Xue’s mother praised: “Your hand strength is the best.
Not too squishy, not too hard – just right!”
At this time, Wang Xiaoxiao hurriedly brought a milk bottle.
"Xiaozhu, you should drink water!"
Cheng Huanran took the child down and handed it to Wang Xiaoxiao.
"Occasionally it will be too dry when the heating is on, so remember to give your child plenty of water.
Drink more water and you'll be fine."
Wang Xiaoxiao answered warmly.
Cheng Huanran saw that Kang An had finished her work and took her to fall in love.
Xue Ling smiled and asked: "Xiaoxiao, where are Xiaoyu and the others?"
"Dad is playing with them."
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and replied: "The nanny is also over there. I was worried that Xiaozhu would delay my elder brother for too long, so I came over quickly to take over."
Xue Ling smiled but said nothing.
Mother Xue laughed loudly at the side: "The young couple has been very tired of it recently.
However, now I have to go with An An even to work, so we barely stick together twenty-four hours a day!"
Wang Xiaoxiao blinked: "It seems that good things are coming soon!"
Xue Ling made a shushing gesture and whispered: "An An is very shy, even if we see it, we pretend not to see it.
Let's not rush them or make fun of them.
Ranran will let us know when things are ready."
"Mom, don't you urge me?"
Wang Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.
Xue Ling shrugged: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Mother Xue on the side echoed in a low voice: "An'an looks a little colder when she looks generous, but she is very sensitive.
Maybe it’s because of her family of origin, she doesn’t like to talk about her private affairs or emotions with others.”
"Yo?"
Xue Ling asked in surprise: "Mom, how do you know so much?"
Mother Xue glared at her angrily and said: "You don't care, and A Yuan pretends not to care, how can I be like you! You are not in a hurry, but I am!"
"Oh~~" Xue Ling teased: "It seems that you have been testing a lot!"
Mother Xue giggled and whispered: "So, don't rush us, just rush us.
He has learned to be smart and cunning now, and An An is no match for him."
Xue Ling asked funnyly: "Mom, are you praising Ranran?
Or hurt him?"
"Of course I'm praising him!"
Mother Xue smiled from ear to ear: “It doesn’t matter if it’s a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it’s a good cat.
As long as he can find a wife, everything else will be fine, right?"
Xue Ling and Wang Xiaoxiao were both amused by the old man.
At this time, Xue's father shouted "Honey!" in the room.
.
Mother Xue stood up slowly and said, "Your dad probably can't find his glasses. I'll help him take a look."
When Wang Xiaoxiao saw everyone else walking away, he came over with his son in his arms.
"Mom, there's something...I want to tell you."
Xue Ling put away the phone and nodded: "Okay, you say."
Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered slightly and he whispered: "It's... about Shan You."
"What's wrong?"
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and asked, "Has she contacted you?"
Wang Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and said in an uneasy tone: "She said that she missed her two children very much, and she also missed us very much.
She said she was worried that you would not forgive her and that everyone would be angry with her, so she did not dare to come to Xinyuan to visit us."
Xue Ling frowned slightly but said nothing.
Wang Xiaoxiao tentatively asked: "Mom, Shan You said she wants to come here to see us...can you agree?"
"agree."
Xue Ling smiled slightly and said, "Tell her that she can come whenever she wants. I welcome her at any time."
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly: "She told me that she was worried that you would scold her.
I advised her not to worry and promised her that you would never scold her."
Xue Ling laughed dumbly, as if sighing and feeling helpless.
"Am I right?
Shanyou has not been a smart child since she was a child. After living for twenty or thirty years, she is still not smart in learning. She is like a big child, worried that her elders will scold her if she does something wrong.
You have been my daughter-in-law for only a few years, and she has known me since she was a child.
You know that I won't scold her, but she still has to worry about it."
Wang Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed by the praise and whispered: "Mom, I'm just intuitive.
I was also trying to comfort her, because I was afraid that her fear would be bad for the baby in her belly."
"Um."
Xue Ling said firmly: "Intuition is also a kind of feeling.
If you don’t think so in your heart, you won’t be able to tell it intuitively.
You tell her to come whenever she wants, just follow her."
If she doesn't come, I won't take the initiative to invite her.
When she came, she was a guest, and she was a junior whom she had watched grow up. How could she chase her away and scold her?
After all, it is her right to pursue the life she wants, and others are not qualified to judge whether it is right or wrong, although Xue Ling does not agree with it at all.
"I don't approve of her actions, and I don't like her family's behavior, but we have been friends for decades, so there is no need for me to break up with them.
Her parents didn't become like this just today. Haven't I been interacting with them all the time?
It's just that there used to be more, but now it's less.
There are all kinds of people in this world, but a truly powerful person is one who can become good friends with anyone.
I'm still far from that state.
But I can guarantee one thing - I will welcome her when she comes.
If she doesn't come, I won't say anything to her."
Wang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Then I will send her a WeChat message later."
