That evening, Zheng Duoduo and his son came again. The luggage bag in their hands was still the same as the one they left in the morning, and might not even have been opened.
Xue Ling took the child with a puzzled look on his face and looked at Zheng Duoduo who looked troubled.
"What's wrong?
The child doesn’t want to go back?”
Zheng Duoduo gave a bitter smile and explained: "Xiao Tong went to work overtime and said she couldn't go home for the next few days.
The nanny has resigned. She said that her health is very poor and she cannot continue to work and needs to go back to her hometown to recuperate."
"Have you eaten?"
Xue Ling asked with concern: "Have you not had dinner yet?"
Zheng Duoduo replied: "I can't get complementary food, so I drink milk powder in the morning and afternoon.
He just kept complaining that he was hungry, and the thermos bottle beside him was out of water. I couldn't stop driving, so I drove straight over."
Xue Ling hugged the child and walked back, explaining: "Xiaozhu and the others still have complementary food left in the afternoon, and today they are cooking pumpkin porridge.
Come on, come on! Let's eat pumpkin porridge first.
Eat porridge for dinner, drink milk at night before going to bed, and add some warm water in between."
"oh oh."
Zheng Duoduo nodded quickly and followed.
Xue Ling put the child on the small dining table and turned around to get toys for him to play with.
Then, she scooped the warm pumpkin porridge and fed it to the little guy with a small spoon.
Zheng Duoduo apologized very much and whispered: "Sister Ling, originally I wanted to send her to my sister and brother-in-law... but it's a pity that it's too far.
And they don’t have anything for kids there—” “You know it’s the right thing to come back.”
Xue Ling interrupted him and said warmly: "The place here is spacious, and children's supplies can be seen everywhere. There is everything you need.
Moreover, children can keep each other company.
For children, playmates are more important than anything else.
They play together and we don’t need to worry too much about accompanying them.
Your sister and brother-in-law both work, and the nursing home has a complicated staff, so no matter how good the environment is, it can't be compared to this one.
They haven't taken care of children for many years, so they are definitely not as good as us."
"That is."
Zheng Duoduo chuckled: "So, I shamelessly came here again."
Xue Ling glanced at him and said angrily: "What is our relationship?
Do you still need to be polite to me?
If you really run to find your sister and brother-in-law, I will scold you later! The most important thing now is that the children can get used to it.
He likes Xinyuan and Xiaoyu Xiaopeng and the others very much.
If he doesn't like it and cries loudly when he comes, how can you be willing to let him come, and we can't force him, right?"
"Sister, you are the best."
Zheng Duoduo put his arms around her shoulders and pressed her head against hers coquettishly, "I can only trouble you for a few more days until my mother comes back before our father and son dare to go home.
I can only ask you to continue to take us in these days."
Xue Ling smiled lovingly: "I know.
Feel free to come here from now on, no need to hesitate."
"yes!"
Zheng Duoduo smiled.
At this time, Xue Yang was riding Xiaopeng on his neck, holding Xiaozhu in his arms, and a huge "team" was coming this way.
The little guy at the dining table immediately became excited, stood up, and muttered baby talk to the little friend Xiaozhu, which made the adults confused.
Zheng Duoduo stepped forward, hugged his son, and greeted Xue Yang.
"We, father and son, will continue to stay overnight!"
Xue Yang asked jokingly: "What?
Was your wife left behind again?"
Zheng Duoduo had no other reaction except a long sigh.
Xue Yang immediately changed the topic and said: "Xiaoxin just said in the group that Brother Tietou and the others have to postpone his return again. It seems that... Aunt Achun's frozen shoulder is a bit serious."
"What?
!”
Zheng Duoduo was shocked and asked: "My mother has frozen shoulder again?"
Xue Yang nodded, took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, clicked on the family group's information, and handed it to him to read.
“It seems to have happened while doing rehabilitation exercises.
Brother Tietou hired an acupuncture master to treat my aunt, as well as some massage equipment to assist. He said that a course of treatment would take at least ten days."
Zheng Duoduo frowned while looking at it, and then returned the phone to Xue Yang.
"I'll call and have a chat with Tietou."
Xue Yang couldn't help but remind: "You can discuss it with Brother Tietou, or come back and let Uncle Ah Huan and the others handle it.
They are also professionals, so you can trust them.”
Zheng Duoduo smiled bitterly: "Don't Tietou know...mostly because he was worried that my mother would not take care of me when she came back, so she hurriedly came to take care of Xiaoyu.
He was brought up by my mother, who would feel uncomfortable if she couldn't see him for a day.
You have to ask me to send videos or photos every day, otherwise you will keep urging me."
He took the phone back and explained: "I can't get through, please call later."
Xue Yang comforted: "The old man is old, how can he not get sick?
Most elderly people have underlying diseases, such as various types of cervical spondylitis, frozen shoulder, bone spurs, etc.
My mother's cervical vertebrae are not very good, which are the sequelae of working too hard when she was young.
My dad also has some frozen shoulder, but he is luckier, it is not serious and the attacks are rare."
Zheng Duoduo sighed helplessly: "My mother also had a hard time when she was young... and then it was all for me.
If it weren't for raising me, she wouldn't have to work so hard."
"alright."
Xue Ling gave him a funny look and said: "Your mother is willing to pay for you, ten thousand willingly.
If you know how to be filial to her, she will be satisfied.
Most parents love their children without asking for anything in return.
As you get older, how can you not have some minor problems?
It’s not a big deal, so don’t get nervous about it.”
Zheng Duoduo chuckled and whispered: "Sister Ling, our family's affairs... are hidden from my mother for the time being.
Let her receive good treatment and rest for a while."
"What can happen to your family?"
Xue Ling asked funnyly: "Aren't we just temporarily lacking a nanny?
What’s all the fuss about?”
Zheng Duoduo shook his head: "You know."
Xue Ling smiled helplessly: "Your mother has always been so thoughtful. It's impossible that things between you and Xiao Tong became like this overnight, right?
She knew it in her heart, but she didn't think it was serious, so she didn't say anything.
Don’t worry, I don’t like to be a talkative woman.”
"Long live Sister Ling!"
Zheng Duoduo smiled.
Xue Ling put away the small bowl and spoon and said, "I'll wash the dishes. You let the children play for a while and prepare for dinner later."
"good!"
The two fathers responded in unison.
Xue Yang carried the three children into the Cassia Pool and watched them playing happily with a fatherly smile on his face.
Zheng Duoduo on the side looked helpless.
Xue Yang couldn't stand it anymore and whispered: "It's just for the time being, it can't always be like this.
When auntie comes back, you can recover immediately."
"Alas..." Zheng Duoduo sighed feebly: "She said earlier... If she had known this, she shouldn't have gotten married and had children so early.
During the most critical entrepreneurial stage of her life, she couldn't take care of her children at all.
She was so angry that it seemed like it was all my fault.
I was about to have an attack, but after thinking about it, I endured it."
