The next day, Cheng Tianyuan went out early in the morning, saying that he wanted to buy new year's goods and go to the imperial capital.
Xue Ling's translation has been finished, and she caught up on a few small columns last night and didn't sleep until after one o'clock.
She slept until midnight in the morning, and it wasn't until Xiao Ranran woke up and screamed that she woke up.
"Oh...it's already past nine o'clock."
Mother-in-law Liu Ying quickly went to prepare milk powder and feed the little one.
"Lingling, when will you go to the provincial capital? When will you come back?"
Xue Ling replied: "The flight booked is on the 27th day of the lunar calendar. The time of return is not yet certain. If Xiao Ran adapts to the weather there, she will come back after the Lantern Festival."
Liu Ying heard that the winter in the imperial capital was very cold, and couldn't help but remind her: "Don't freeze your children."
"No." Xue Ling explained: "It's very cold outside, so the child must not go out. What I mean is - if he can adapt to the heating environment at home, then he can live longer. The heating is a bit dry and needs more water. He should be able to
Get used to it, drink so much water and milk powder every day."
Liu Ying asked curiously: "It's just that the room is very warm? Is that right?"
"Yes." Xue Ling replied: "It's just like the autumn or spring here. It's very warm. If it is set higher, some people can even go shirtless. Brother Yuan only wears a short shirt when he works."
Liu Ying laughed and said: "That must be quite warm!"
Xue Ling asked again: "Mom, when will you and Dad return to Chengjia Village? The house over there is leaking and it's very cold. You'd better live here as much as possible, or go back on the New Year's Day."
Liu Ying shook her head and explained: "At least I have to go back to pay homage to my ancestors. I still have to spend the New Year's Eve there."
Xue Ling nodded and said: "I told Brother Yuan last night to prepare some more New Year's goods for you. You can eat them here or take them to the countryside to eat."
"Hey! Okay!" Liu Ying seemed to remember something and lowered her voice: "We need to leave more room in the kitchen next door, that damn girl A Fang doesn't want to go back with us."
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows in confusion: "Why? If she doesn't want to, then she will have to stay here alone to celebrate the New Year."
Liu Ying whispered angrily: "Who knows her! I told her to go back together, and she said she wanted to stay here alone to read and study. She also said that the book she bought was very good. I told her to take it back to read, but she refused
No, he said she can cook by herself and will wait here for us to come back. Her father didn't say anything and said it was up to her to decide."
Xue Ling quickly guessed what was going on and said warmly: "Since my sister-in-law doesn't want to go, then don't force her. It's quiet here and she can learn to read, so let her do it."
Some villagers secretly knew about her elopement with Lin Cong.
In rural areas, if something happens, the three aunts and six women will quickly spread the news to everyone in the village.
Now that she is back and planning to start over, what will others think of her?
Fortunately, she married Lin Cong in the city and no one in the village knew about it.
If she had already started her own business or had a stable family, no one in the village would dare to look down upon her if she went back.
But she is now in an awkward period of change, and others may say some unpleasant things or even laugh at her.
Xue Ling can understand her feeling of not wanting to return to the village.
"Let her!" Liu Ying muttered: "When the child is older, she can do whatever she wants. If she stays at home and studies, I can't force her to go back. Forget it, let her do it."
Xue Ling smiled slightly and said: "Lend the keys of the jeep to Ah Hu. I have already told him to drive us to the airport in the provincial capital. In addition, when you are going back to the village, let him take you there. What?
When the time comes, let him come back to pick you up."
"It's too troublesome." Liu Ying was very embarrassed and whispered: "I have a family now, so I can't keep bothering him."
Xue Ling explained: "Don't be afraid, he also wants to borrow our car for the New Year. It only takes an hour to go back and forth to Chengjiacun, so it won't be too time-consuming. Ahu has already promised me."
When Liu Ying heard that the car would be lent to Ah Hu for half a month, she thought that she would no longer be embarrassed and nodded.
At this time, the phone rang!
Xue Ling gnawed down the meat bun and quickly moved over to pick it up.
It turned out to be Liu Xing, saying that her New Year's goods had been distributed, as well as her salary and bonus, and asked her to get them quickly. He said that the newspaper office was preparing to go on annual leave in the afternoon.
Xue Ling hurried into the room, checked the contents of the small column that he had rushed out overnight, and then hurried downstairs and drove to the newspaper office.
The colleagues in the newspaper office were all working hard. When they saw her coming, they said hello and continued working.
Liu Xing and Wang Qing are also busy.
Xue Ling quickly took the manuscript to Editor Lin and explained: "There are four issues in total. I can't be sure when I will be back, so I have one or two more copies."
Editor Lin smiled and said: "That's right."
She always felt at ease when Xue Ling was doing things. She checked the manuscript roughly and then put it away in the drawer.
Wang Qing pointed to a bag of apples and two large pieces of bacon on the side and explained: "One for each person, and you also have one. By the way, this is the salary and bonus calculated by the accountant for you."
She handed Xue Ling an envelope. It was bulging inside, but she didn't know the exact amount.
Xue Ling didn't count it and put it directly into his pocket.
Wang Qing looked left and right, hooked her hand, and pulled her into the corner.
"Lingling, I...I have something to ask you."
Seeing that she seemed a little embarrassed, Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter? What's going on with Liu Xing?"
Wang Qing blushed in embarrassment and stood on tiptoes to bite her ear.
"After we got married... we slept together. He was very greedy and pestered me almost every night... but he always said it wasn't good enough and was very upset. I... I don't even know how to say it... I'm so embarrassed...
You have been married for a long time...you should know this, right?"
Xue Ling was also a little embarrassed, but after all, she had been married for more than a year and had a baby, so she was much better off than Wang Qing, a newlywed wife who had just taken office.
"Tell me the specific situation. I don't understand some of it...but after all, I have more experience than you."
Wang Qing bit her lower lip and explained in her ear: "He said he didn't live long and was always upset. I...I don't know what to do. Is there anything I can do? I don't even dare
I’m embarrassed to tell others.”
Xue Ling was embarrassed for a moment and whispered: "This is about a man's face and dignity. I will pretend not to know. You can remind him that there seems to be a book on this aspect that you can check. If you are not satisfied, you can also go to the hospital quietly.
Find a doctor."
"Really?" Wang Qing asked in a low voice, "Can I also find a doctor?"
"Yes." Xue Ling murmured: "Find a reliable and familiar doctor so that he won't be embarrassed. In addition, it may be that you are just starting out, so neither of you has much experience. You should also advise him not to do it too often.
Otherwise, the body will not be able to bear it. This... too much is very harmful to the body."
Wang Qing didn't understand this at all and asked in surprise: "Is it true? Will it hurt you?"
"Yeah." Xue Ling whispered: "Of course it's harmful to your health if you do it too frequently, so you have to control it properly. You're newly married, so this is understandable. From now on, you should take it easy and don't do it too frequently."
Wang Qing nodded, saw someone coming from the other side, gave Xue Ling a wink quietly, and went back to his desk.
Xue Ling gave Director Liu an early New Year greeting and went home carrying the New Year's goods.
That night, when the young couple was the only one left in the room, Xue Ling couldn't help but quietly talk about it to Cheng Tianyuan.
