Early the next morning, Cheng Tianyuan got up and packed Xiao Ranran's things.
Later, Xue’s father drove them to the airport.
Mother Xue held Xiao Ranran in her arms, her eyes always red.
"It's only been more than half a month, I can't bear to leave...my Xiao Ranran, my little baby!"
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the old man's appearance and couldn't help but said: "Mom, when Ling Ling and I are free, we will bring Xiao Ranran to see you and dad. Don't worry, we will come here every New Year."
Mother Xue swallowed harder: "You guys need to come more..."
Xue Ling looked at her mother and was about to cry, and couldn't hold back her eyes for a while.
"Mom, if you are free, fly over and stay with us for a while. My dad's factory occasionally stops working, so you can go there together. The place over there is wide enough for you to live."
Xue's father couldn't bear to leave his grandson, and said warmly: "When summer is over and the factory is no longer busy, we will go south to see you."
Cheng Tianyuan said quickly: "Yes, you can go south when you have time, and we will go north when we have time."
Xiao Ranran on the side looked out the window excitedly, shouting something that others could not understand.
Everyone laughed one after another when they saw his cute appearance.
After being shouted out like this by the little guy, everyone's sorrow at separation barely got better.
It was almost noon when we arrived at the airport. Cheng Tianyuan checked in a box of milk powder and carried the others with him.
"You may need it on the road, so don't check it in."
Mother Xue kissed Xiao Ranran's head and her eyes turned red again.
Father Xue on the side couldn't see through it and pulled her back.
"Okay, don't scare the child. When Lingling and Ayuan have their second child, let them send Xiao Ranran over, and we will help them take care of it."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "That's perfect."
Xue Ling sniffed and waved goodbye to her parents.
…
The plane was not delayed, we boarded on time, and arrived at the airport in the provincial capital on time more than an hour later.
Cheng Tianyuan had told Amin about their itinerary before and explained that they would take a car back to Rongcheng themselves.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the airport exit, they saw A Hu and Chen Min waving to them.
Chen Min still looks honest and honest, neither fat nor thin.
Ahu has changed a lot, his hair is long and dirty, he has a lot of beard and stubble on his face, and his eyes are listless.
If you weren't familiar with him, you would hardly recognize him.
Cheng Tianyuan pulled the luggage, while Xue Ling walked towards them holding Xiao Ranran who was sleeping.
"A Yuan! Sister-in-law!" They came forward and helped with the luggage.
Ahu smiled and said: "It's only been half a month, but why does it suddenly feel like it's been a long time..."
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling both stared at him, their eyes full of distress and helplessness.
Chen Min blinked his eyes, looking at a loss.
"That...that...Brother Hu came home yesterday, and he came to see me. I told him that you were coming back, and he made an appointment with me and said he would come and wait for you today. We have just arrived."
Xue Ling reached out and patted Ahu's arm.
Ahu's eyes turned red for a moment and he swallowed: "Don't stand still! Are you all tired? Come on, get in the car first, I will take you back."
Cheng Tianyuan sighed deeply, threw his luggage to Chen Min, turned around and carefully hugged his son.
"Come on, let's get in the car first and then we can talk."
The outside of the jeep was dirty, and the tires were covered in mud, showing that it had traveled a lot.
The car was relatively clean, but there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke. It was obvious that people inside had been smoking a lot these days.
Cheng Tianyuan handed his son to Xue Ling and said, "I'll drive, you all sit down."
Ahu was not in good spirits and knew that he could not drive long distances, so he nodded obediently and sat in the passenger seat.
Chen Min put his luggage behind the car, walked around and sat in the back with Xue Ling.
Xiao Ranran was still asleep, nestled in Xue Ling's arms.
The car quickly drove away from the airport and headed for the outer road.
Ahu couldn't help but ask: "You and your sister-in-law have lunch, right? Amin and I had already eaten outside earlier."
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "There is a simple lunch on the plane, and we are not hungry."
Ah Hu didn't know what he thought of and smiled.
"A few days ago... I almost got on a plane. To be honest, I have never flown on a plane. I will have to find a chance to take a ride in the future and try out what airplane food tastes like."
"It's unpalatable." Xue Ling explained truthfully: "It's very unpalatable."
Ahu laughed, leaned on the passenger seat, and let out a long breath.
"Ayuan, sister-in-law, I'm sorry for making you all worried... I... I'm not well yet... When I get better, I will take you out to play, treat you to dinner, and take Xiao Ranran to sit on my shoulder..."
Everyone else in the car was quiet, only his voice gradually getting louder.
After a while, he actually started crying, sobbing louder and louder, and finally suppressed his voice, sounding extremely sad.
Cheng Tianyuan drove very calmly. There were not many cars on the road, so he was driving a bit fast. There was a whistling wind outside, and the gloomy winter was like the mood of a car full of people.
Ahu explained that it turned out that Lili did not marry him sincerely, and she was suspected of cheating the marriage from the beginning.
At first she thought he was very rich, but later she saw that he was only better off than an ordinary family. She wanted to regret the marriage, but she thought it would be bad if she didn't take advantage of the opportunity, so she teamed up with her family and defrauded him of a house and several thousand yuan.
Bride price.
Ahu has been urging her to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate with him since the two got engaged. Unfortunately, she pushed her back and forth, always saying that she was not free and had to go to work.
It was not until after the wedding that she invited Ahu to ask for money several times, and her family also asked him for money from time to time, that Ahu gradually discovered the clues.
Even though she was invited to drink, why was she still refusing to get the certificate? Why on earth did her family need so much money?
Ahu became suspicious and began to follow Lili in turn. He often went to Mo's Tongzilou to stay. Soon he discovered clues.
It turned out that not only Mo Lili, but also her two girls and elder sister were having affairs with some men.
Several sisters in their family often bring men home, and then talk to the elders in the family to put on a show, explicitly implying that their family's financial situation is not good, pretending to be weak and pitiful, and pitiful.
Most of these men are young people who have no experience in the world. Some give generously, while others secretly don't want to be involved in such a family. They give a small amount of money and then disappear quietly.
"...There is also a kind of infatuated fool like me, who takes great care of her and is in love with her. She will do whatever she says. She said that the living conditions at home are too bad, so I went to my sister-in-law to buy a house for her home.
Whatever her family needed, I would give it to her. Even if I couldn't raise a few thousand as a bride price, I borrowed it from friends and asked A Yuanzhi just to marry her."
"She was only a temporary worker in the hospital, not a regular worker. She had always wanted to find a rich man to marry, and then she would not have to work and live the life of a rich woman every day. When I found her, I still refused to give up and asked her if she was
What's the reason?"
"She laughed and asked me why I was so stupid. Things had already reached this point. How could I still be so stupid that I didn't dare to accept the facts? She laughed at me and said that I was already in my thirties. How could I still be as delusional as a young man?
.She said that she and I didn’t have a certificate and we were not husband and wife, so I couldn’t do anything to her. Then, she got into a man’s car and left.”
"I... gave up completely and sat on the roadside for a whole day and night. Suddenly I remembered that there was an old woman at home. What would I do if I starved to death and was heartbroken? I walked to the street and bought a pack of cigarettes.
, I also bought a bowl of noodles and ate them, and then drove back to Rongcheng. I fell into a deep sleep. After taking a shower, I went to find Amin and ate glutinous rice balls. Then I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t taken you home yet, so I made an appointment with him.
