Xue Ling tiredly pointed to a pile of books on the floor and explained briefly.
Cheng Tianyuan felt distressed and rubbed her palms, then her shoulders.
"If you encounter something that is too heavy in the future, don't take it for the time being and wait for me to help you. Or call a car and take you directly to the door. I will go down and pick it up for you. When you go out, don't let yourself do this just to save some money.
Suffer.”
Cheng Tianyuan was born in poverty. Even though he is rich now, he still saves whenever he can and never spends a dime.
But he couldn't bear to let his wife suffer. In order to save the time of riding in front of the bus, he rushed to squeeze into the bus, and his shoulder and hand were also injured - it was really inappropriate.
Xue Ling explained: "There were no cars nearby at that time. They were just bicycles. It was far away and the weather was cold, so I had to take the bus back."
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Where is Xiao Ranran?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "The weather outside is nice and the sun has come out. Dad and mom took him to the park to play."
Xue Ling couldn't laugh or cry, "He is only four months old, how can he know that a park is fun!"
Cheng Tianyuan didn't seem to hear it, and his expression wasn't very good.
She pushed him and asked, "What's wrong? Who did you call just now?"
Cheng Tianyuan didn't want to hide anything from her, so he explained in a low voice: "I called home just now, and it was A Fang who answered the phone. She said that her parents went back in the third grade of junior high school, and they have been in the suite recently. It's cold outside and they haven't gone out much.
.They are all very good.”
"What else?" Xue Ling asked, "What are you worried about?"
Cheng Tianyuan sighed softly and replied: "Afang just said... Something happened to Ahu's family yesterday."
ah?!
Xue Ling asked: "What happened?"
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and shook his head: "Afang couldn't explain clearly. She said that yesterday several men suddenly came to the community, yelling and fighting with Ahu. My dad heard the noise and went downstairs to take a look.
, helped to break up the fight. Ahu was not injured, but he was in a bad state of mind. He said he went to discuss the matter with Amin, and then left."
"Isn't dad at home?" Xue Ling asked, "Have you asked him?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "Dad went out just now, and my mother didn't know what was going on. She only said that she seemed to be from Ahu's wife's family. I'll call back later and ask my dad."
Xue Ling didn't quite understand, but thinking of the faces of Lili's family, she felt sorry for Ah Hu.
"Sigh... It's unfortunate for Ahu to have such a family. He and Lili have only been married for a month, so why did they cause trouble?"
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "If it was the mother's family who came to conflict with Ahu, it would be the most difficult for Lili to be caught in the middle. But Ahu is not a person who cares about things, and he will not act blindly. He must have made him anxious.
.”
Xue Ling thought for a while and made a call to the newspaper office.
——Director Liu answered the call.
Xue Ling first wished him New Year's greetings, and then asked about the situation of the newspaper office.
Director Liu explained: "I started going to work three days ago. Everyone is not in a high working mood. After a long vacation, we have to recover slowly. By the way, the two young men who came to apply for the job I told you last time - they are all still
not coming."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "Please urge me! If someone sees that you are so sincere, they will definitely be moved! They act when their heart moves, so you have to act first."
Director Liu chuckled and said, "You're such a ghost! I'll go see if there is any contact information later and ask Liu Xing to send a telegram or something."
Xue Ling took the opportunity to ask: "Director, is Liu Xing here? I want to chat with him for a few words."
Director Liu replied: "Here, we have already started working, so we can't let him skip work. Just wait a moment and I'll call him."
The telephone is a public property of the newspaper office. Director Liu never hides it. It is shared by everyone.
Liu Xing quickly answered the question and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you would come back after the Lantern Festival? Did you come back early?"
"No!" Xue Ling explained: "The flight I booked is for the afternoon of the 16th day of the lunar calendar. It will definitely be late at night when I get home."
Liu Xing quickly lowered his voice: "Ling, let me tell you good news. This Chinese New Year, the business of our photo studio was so good that it almost exploded! Fortunately, Wang Qing and my mother came to help, otherwise we would definitely not be able to greet you. The turnover is
Seven or eight times the usual number! There are also a lot of people having their faces washed! I have been working overtime these past few nights until midnight."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Xue Ling said honestly: "I can't even help you, I can only work hard for you and Tong Zi."
Liu Xing chuckled and said: "You don't need to help. I'll just wait for you to come back and divide the money. Let me tell you, you can get about a thousand yuan this Chinese New Year. Including the previous two months,
You can be rich for a while!"
Xue Ling also smiled, not embarrassed to say too much.
If one or two thousand yuan can make you rich for a while, that would be too unsatisfactory! Last time she made more than 300,000 yuan for Shanyue and his wife at one time, that is real small wealth!
"This is all the result of your hard work! I will treat you and Tong Zi to a meal when we get back!"
Liu Xing smiled proudly and said: "Waiting for you!"
Xue Ling turned to ask: "By the way, has Ahu been to the photo studio recently?"
Liu Xing said "Alas!" and replied: "During the period before the Chinese New Year, he was here every day and often stayed up with me until midnight. He also came to help me on the first day of the Chinese New Year. Who knew that a few days ago he said it was something wrong at home?
I haven’t seen anyone in the past three or four days. The business of the photo studio was so good that I had to ask my mother to come over and help. My mother is on winter vacation and will go to class after the Lantern Festival."
Xue Ling took the opportunity and asked quickly: "What happened to Ahu's family?"
There was an accident a few days ago, and there was a fight yesterday - the matter seemed serious!
Liu Xing helplessly replied: "I don't know about that. He hurried into the photo studio that day and told me that something happened at home, and he probably wouldn't be able to help in the next few days. I asked him what happened. He said it was his wife
I had some trouble at home, and then I left in a hurry. I didn’t have time to ask questions!"
Xue Ling thought for a while and said, "He lives in the same community as us, and you know his home. If you get off work early in the evening, go over to his house to take a look and show concern for your colleagues."
"Hey!" Liu Xing readily agreed, saying: "We are neighbors and co-workers, so naturally we have to care about it. I have been too busy these days, and I was busy until midnight at night.
"
"Okay." Xue Ling said: "If something happens, if you can help me, just do it. If it's a big thing, please let me know and take note of my home number."
Liu Xing thanked him and quickly wrote it down.
After a while, Cheng Tianyuan called home again.
This time, Cheng Muhai happened to be at home, and A Fang asked him to answer the call.
He sighed and shook his head: "I don't know what's going on... Ahu didn't speak, and he didn't seem to want to talk. I saw him injured yesterday and asked him if he felt uncomfortable. He said it was okay, then turned and left."
"Have you asked Aunt Ahu?" Cheng Tianyuan asked.
Cheng Muhai explained: "I went up to ask, and Mrs. Ahu cried until her eyes were red and swollen, saying that this daughter-in-law married the wrong woman and that their family was deceived. I wanted to ask more carefully, but she kept crying. I thought this was
It’s hard to ask too many questions about other people’s family affairs, so I have to go home and call your mother and ask her to come over and help comfort you.”
"Ahu hasn't gone home yet?" Cheng Tianyuan asked again.
"No." Cheng Muhai replied: "I haven't come back since I ran out yesterday. I wanted to go to Amin's house and ask, but it's a pity that I don't know the way!"
