Liu Ying cooked a table full of good dishes and meat, and Xue's father and mother ate happily.
Mother Xue smiled and said: "The taste in the Imperial Capital is heavier, and braised beef is not common. I miss your braised beef the most. It is fragrant and tastes great in my mouth!"
"Then eat more." Liu Ying said with a smile: "If you like it, I will make it for you every day. It is rare for us old sisters to get together, so we must have a good chat tonight."
"Ten days! Enough for you to chat." Dad Xue smiled and said: "We came all the way and were still discussing whether to come here to celebrate the New Year this year. The weather here is warmer, and you will be company. Last year and
The year before last, Lingling and Ayuan were the ones who went there, and it was too lonely to leave you two old people at home."
"Then you come over this year!" Cheng Muhai couldn't help but suggest: "Why don't you leave at all? The Chinese New Year will be here in two months anyway. We can go back to the imperial capital after the Chinese New Year."
"Hahaha!" Xue's father said: "That won't work. There are still many orders in the factory, all of which are spring orders. We need to process less quickly so that wholesalers can sell after the Chinese New Year. We will stop work early for the annual holiday, and then
I will fly over to celebrate the New Year with you."
"That's great! That's great!" Cheng Muhai laughed and said, "Let's have a reunion year together this year! It's been a blast!"
"Okay! Okay!" Xiao Ranran was playing with toys on the side, and couldn't help but echoed in a soft voice: "Okay! Okay!"
Everyone laughed.
After dinner, Cheng Tianyuan and Liu Ying helped clean up.
Xue Ling took her parents to settle down next door and help pack their luggage.
Mother Xue looked around and said with a smile: "Ayuan has arranged everything very carefully. Everything is provided, even toothbrushes and toothpaste are prepared for us. The bedding is also brand new and smells of sunshine."
Father Xue lay lazily on the bed and said with squinted eyes: "Ayuan is very considerate, much more considerate than your daughter!"
Xue Ling couldn't help but complain: "Dad, I'm not happy if you say that! I'm not bad either! Right?"
"Yes." Xue's mother nodded and said seriously: "If you don't compare with A Yuan, you are pretty good. Once you compare with him, you won't be able to compare."
Xue Ling rolled her eyes.
Sure enough, they are biological father and mother!
But this is good, it proves that they are very satisfied with Brother Yuan as their son-in-law. If her husband has a bright face, she will naturally have a bright face too.
Xue's father fell asleep in a daze and said: "It's still the same as autumn here, but it may start to snow over there in the imperial capital. Although there is no heating in the south, the cold weather only lasts a few days, so you don't have to worry too much about this during the New Year.
The apartments all face south, so it won’t be too cold.”
"It's warm in winter and cool in summer. Houses facing south are the best." Xue's mother said warmly: "After coming here last year, I also think these two apartments are very good."
"It's thirty sets." Xue Ling corrected.
Mother Xue hung up the coat in her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know you are great and I know you are smart. You have three thousand more sets, okay?"
"That won't work either." Xue Ling chuckled and said, "You can't keep all the houses on hand, it's better to sell them. I'm not greedy. I will keep one or two hundred units for rent, and I want to sell the others to make a lot of money.
"
"That's right." Dad Xue closed his eyes comfortably and whispered: "If you only do your own business, you can't make big money. The real way to make money is to make big money from other people's pockets."
Xue Ling wrote it down carefully.
After all, my father is a veteran in shopping malls, so I heard him right. Who can say he has rich experience?
After cleaning up, Xue’s father and mother went to take a shower one after another.
This is a large room with a bathroom inside, which is very convenient for the elderly.
After the two took a shower, they went to the living room to talk to Liu Ying and Cheng Muhai and drink tea.
Cheng Muhai explained: "I usually sleep in the shopping mall over there in the development zone at night. There are also young people watching over there, but the young people sleep deeply, so it's better for me to guard the warehouse."
"That's right." Xue's mother said: "There are many factories in the development zone, and there are many workers. There are people coming in and out. Where the store is, only family members can have a closer look."
"Then how do you get there?" Father Xue asked, "Would you like to walk there?"
"Riding a bicycle." Cheng Muhai explained: "Ling Ling bought me a bicycle. It's an old Phoenix brand. It's not too high. I slowly pedaled along the road along the river, which only took three or four minutes. I walked there.
It’s also very quick, ten minutes at most.”
"That's very close." Xue's father was relieved.
Cheng Muhai said with a smile: "I'll go to bed later, and I'll take you for a walk by the river tomorrow morning. The air - it's really good!"
"Okay!" Xue's father said: "We need exercise at our age. Walking is the most suitable for us middle-aged and elderly people."
"Then it's settled." Cheng Muhai turned sideways and told his wife: "You cook some rice porridge and make some steamed buns tomorrow morning. After breakfast, we will take Xiao Ranran for a walk."
Mother Xue couldn't help but said: "We can go to the shopping mall in the development zone to have a look. I heard that the place is quite spacious, right?"
"It's very wide." Liu Ying explained: "It's three stories high and has several shops. They were all built by themselves, making it very spacious."
"It is convenient to do business if the place is wide." Xue's father said: "Then let's go to the shopping mall after taking a walk. I heard that there are many factories in the development zone, and we can also go in and take a look."
"There used to be no big factories here in Rongcheng, and there wasn't a lot of foreign population." Cheng Muhai explained with a smile: "The changes have been great over the years. When I came here a few years ago, many places were unrecognizable. In the past two years, there have been many places.
, and finally got familiar with it.”
"The changes are so great!" Xue's father said, "I couldn't even recognize him earlier!"
The four of them were sitting in the living room, chatting while watching the fishing lanterns on the river.
Xiao Ranran didn't take much nap in the afternoon. When it got dark, he felt very sleepy and fell into a very deep sleep.
Xue Ling originally planned to take him to sleep next door, but Xue's mother was reluctant to part with her grandson and emphasized that she wanted the little one to sleep with them tonight.
It was not easy to compete with his parents, so Xue Ling had no choice but to agree and keep the little guy.
At this time, the young couple was also sitting in the living room, hugging each other, chatting intimately in a low voice.
Cheng Tianyuan kissed her hair and whispered: "This year you traveled to the provincial capital, the south and the imperial capital. Ten months have passed and you have been away from home for almost half the year. Wife, please stop running before the Chinese New Year.
"
"If I don't run away, I won't run away." Xue Ling leaned lazily in his arms and chuckled: "What are you afraid of? No matter how far I run, I will still be your wife. This is our home. No matter how far I run, I have to come back."
"Of course I'm afraid." Cheng Tianyuan sighed faintly, "It's uncomfortable to be alone in an empty room. You haven't tried it, so you don't understand at all."
"Pfft!"
When I saw him from a distance at noon, he looked good and handsome. He was chatting and laughing with his parents, chatting about life. Even with a magnifying glass, you couldn't see where he was "sad".
Cheng Tianyuan leaned down and kissed her ear.
"You'll know when you get back to the room tonight. I've been holding it in for two months and it makes me miserable."
She smiled shyly and hit his chest.
"What are you talking about? I can't tell at all..."
Cheng Tianyuan stood up, picked her up, and strode into the house.
"There are some things that we can't express but let's go back to our room and talk about it until dawn."
…
It was late at night, and the lovers fell asleep hugging each other, entangled and sweet.
