Xue Ling took her hand and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, sit down first, take a breath and drink some water before asking."
Cheng Tianyuan put the things aside, poured water, and brought it over himself.
"Mom, have a sip of tea first."
"Hey! Thank you Ayuan!" Xue's mother said with a smile: "I flew all the way here because I was happy, and I wasn't tired at all. By the way, where are Aying and Muhai? They live next door, right?"
Xue Ling explained: "It's across the street. My parents went to help open the store early in the morning and didn't come back until evening. They heard that you could be here in the afternoon and had already planned to come back in the evening to have dinner with you.
"
"Okay, okay!" Xue's mother said: "I bought gifts for them all. They will come later and give them to them. By the way, is the store far away? Muhai used to be able to ride a bicycle, can he now?"
Xue Ling was slightly stunned, not knowing that her father-in-law could still ride a bicycle.
"...He didn't ride, he just walked. It's not far from the store. It takes about ten minutes to walk here. They are all walking back and forth."
Mother Xue nodded, "Old people need to exercise. If they are not far away, it is better to walk. For people like us in our fifties, our bones are not as good as before, and bumps are not good. We can walk as long as we can."
of."
Cheng Tianyuan thought the same way and explained: "Dad used to ride a bicycle, but he stopped riding after his arm got bad. The family situation was not very good at that time, so the old bicycle was sold. Now that his arm is equipped with a prosthetic leg, he should be able to ride it if he can
, but this section of the road is not far, so I didn’t buy him a new bicycle. I hope they can walk back and forth.”
"Elevators are all used, right?" Mother Xue said, "You have to teach them how to use new things. Old people are tired of climbing stairs, so they have to learn to ride the elevator."
"Don't worry!" Xue Ling said with a smile: "After moving in, I accompanied them up and down dozens of times. I taught them both how to use it before I walked out of the elevator door."
"That's good." Xue's mother drank tea and visited the suite.
Cheng Tianyuan called Xue's father and explained that he had brought his mother-in-law to Rongcheng and was now home.
Father Xue smiled and said: "That's good, I'll feel relieved."
Cheng Tianyuan quickly told his father-in-law about the extension phone installed at home and said, "Dad, you can call me and chat with mom anytime."
Dad Xue laughed: "No need to talk, finally no need to listen to her nagging - how nice it is!"
Mother Xue on the side was waiting to hear this. She happened to hear this sentence and was angry and funny: "Really? If that's the case, then I won't go back. From now on, you can wash your own clothes, cook your own meals, and cook your own meals."
Clean the house!"
"No, no, no!" Father Xue panicked and coaxed, "I don't like to hear nagging, but I like having you at home!"
"Go!" Mother Xue took the phone and threw it down.
Both Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling couldn't help laughing.
The arrival of Xue's mother suddenly made the family lively.
Cheng Tianyuan went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Xue Ling took her to the balcony to watch the river view, and secretly told her about Lin Cong and his sister-in-law.
Mother Xue frowned when she heard this, and whispered dissatisfiedly: "How could Cousin Liuhua do this...?"
"That's not all!" Xue Ling also told the story of the mother and son shamelessly touching things.
Mother Xue sighed and shook her head, "She and I are distant relatives, separated by several floors. When we were in Rongcheng, she was a noble lady, playing cards and playing cards every day, and took Lin Cong to visit us two or three times at the entrance of the alley. Unexpectedly
After so many years, she ended up in this situation."
Xue Ling didn't have a good impression of them at all, and said, "I'm telling you, I hope you ignore her and just pretend you don't know her."
"Isn't that good?" Mother Xue whispered: "She is your sister-in-law's mother-in-law after all, and she is considered your biological mother-in-law. If she comes, I still have to give her face."
Xue Ling thought for a while and said: "It's been so many years and people don't remember you anymore. Don't take the initiative to acknowledge her. If she comes, just pretend that you don't know her and just say hello."
"You kid!" Mother Xue felt very embarrassed, "I am an elder after all. If you are good to her, she will be good to your sister-in-law. These are all complementary to each other."
Xue Ling shook his head and sneered, "Mom, you don't know the true face of her and her son. If our family hadn't provided money and a house, she would never have allowed her son to marry her sister-in-law."
She saw this matter very clearly, and she was also worried that He Liuhua would use her mother's old relatives to come here to gain more advantages.
She is not a stingy person, but she cannot be generous to people like Lin Cong and her son.
Mother Xue couldn't help frowning and whispered: "Your sister-in-law has a child with Lin Cong, how could she disagree - that would be outrageous."
Cousin He raised her son like this, and now he is still in such a state of desolation, which is really sad.
Xue Ling shrugged silently and said: "What I said is the truth. In short, mom, you must remember what I said, otherwise you will definitely have trouble coming to your door in the future."
In the evening, Liu Ying and Cheng Muhai came back, both carrying vegetables and meat in their hands.
Mother Xue shook hands with them happily and chatted happily. Seeing each other again after a long absence, there was so much to say.
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling went to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner to entertain their mother who had traveled so hard.
After dinner, Cheng Tianyuan took Xue's mother to the guest room to settle down.
"Mom, there are three rooms in total, and each one is quite wide. Lingling helped you choose this one. There is a small bathroom inside and a small balcony outside. Do you like it?"
"It's very good, I like it!" Xue's mother was very satisfied. "The layout of this house is very good and it is worth buying."
Cheng Tianyuan took out the bedspread and quilt from the closet and explained: "These are new. I washed them and dried them the day before yesterday."
"Thank you!" Mother Xue was very satisfied with her caring son-in-law and said warmly: "Compared with last year, your parents look much better."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded in agreement and explained: "They live here, the environment is good, the food and drink are good, and their health is much better than before, especially my dad. Since getting the prosthesis, his arm no longer hurts, and he often eats what Director Xue prescribed.
With the medicinal diet, the intestines and stomach are healed, and people become more energetic."
Mother Xue yawned and said with a smile, "I feel relieved to see that you are all well."
"Mom, you should rest quickly after taking a shower." Cheng Tianyuan withdrew.
…
Early the next morning, Liu Ying made breakfast and went to the store with Cheng Muhai.
Xue Ling was about to give birth, and she was woken up by the baby from time to time at night, and sometimes she was so stressed that she couldn't breathe.
Cheng Tianyuan stayed with her at night, so he had to sleep more. They both slept until after eight o'clock.
Mother Xue had a busy day yesterday and slept late.
The three of them had breakfast and then went out.
Cheng Tianyuan drove Xue's mother around Rongcheng, and also accompanied Xue Ling to see the new photo studio.
The new photo studio has been almost renovated. The interior is very warm and beautiful, with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere. You can see it from a distance and it is very eye-catching.
"It's pretty good!" Xue Ling looked out of the car window and said with a smile: "Just looking at the store door and display window, they are very attractive! It seems that both Liu Xing and Ahu have put a lot of effort into it."
Xue's mother couldn't help but laugh at her and teased: "Why do you still want to learn how to take pictures? Can you do it?"
