The sky was getting slightly brighter, and Cheng Tianyuan got up.
The father-in-law's condition is recovering very well. Last night, he stayed here alone and the old man fell asleep all the time. He didn't have to do anything at all and slept until dawn.
He tiptoed and took his toothbrush and towel to wash up outside, and then carried a kettle to get hot water.
People were already talking at the nurse's station, and doctors came one after another.
Cheng Tianyuan came back from fetching water and found that Xue's father had woken up.
He quickly gave him water to rinse his mouth, then helped him wipe his whole body and put on a new set of hospital clothes.
By the time Xue Ling and Xue's mother came over, Xue's father was already full of energy and sitting by the bed, chatting with Cheng Tianyuan who was cleaning the room.
Mother Xue asked: "How did you feel last night?"
"It's okay, I'll sleep until dawn." Father Xue replied warmly.
Xue Ling smiled and said: "You look in good spirits. Dad, our new car feels great when driving. My mother just said it is comfortable to sit on."
Cheng Tianyuan came over quickly and took the pot and buns from her hands.
Dad Xue smiled and said: "This is the first time you have bought something valuable for your family. Your mother will naturally be happy when her daughter buys something."
"When you use it, you will also be happy." Xue Ling said.
Father Xue just laughed.
When his daughter grows up, she will make money and buy a car for herself to drive. This is a big improvement, and he is naturally happy inside.
Mother Xue whispered: "It's better than the previous one. It doesn't seem to be so wobbly when you sit up. It's very stable. Also, the noise doesn't seem to be that loud."
"That's right!" Father Xue said with a smile, "It's tens of thousands more expensive!"
Mother Xue chuckled: "This is the cuteness of money. No wonder everyone loves money."
Cheng Tianyuan poured a cup of soy milk and fed it to his father-in-law to drink.
Xue Ling sat aside and tore apart the buns to eat. While eating, she tore some for her father to eat.
Father Xue couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I eat bun skins and you eat barbecued pork. You are really filial to my old father!"
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but laugh.
Xue Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained: "This must be meat that was left overnight and is not fresh. You can only eat light food now, soy milk and steamed bun skins are enough."
Father Xue gave her a doting look and said nothing.
At this time, Sanbo walked in slowly and sniffed: "Hey! It looks like soy milk!"
Mother Xue quickly asked him to sit down and spooned a bowl for him.
San Bo stopped and said with a smile, "I've already had breakfast."
"It doesn't matter." Xue's mother explained: "It's just water, and you won't feel full even after drinking it. You had breakfast early in the morning and walked all the way, so you're probably already hungry."
Sanbo laughed, took it and drank it slowly.
Xue's father asked: "Ayuan, when will your parents arrive? You have to call Ahu and ask Ahu. Don't miss it and make them wait at the airport for too long."
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "Okay, after breakfast, I'll go take a shot immediately."
"I'll just go." Xue Ling said.
"No, don't run up and down, stay here." Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Why don't you just make a phone call? It will be over in two or three minutes at most."
Uncle San couldn't help laughing and whispered: "It's great now. There are public telephones in big hospitals and on the streets that you can call. As long as you buy a card or pay some money, you can chat with people thousands of miles away.
At that time, it was too expensive to send a telegram. Every time I wrote a few words, I had to delete them again and again for fear of spending a little more money. Sometimes they were even too concise and made a joke. It would probably take several months to write a letter.
Only then can you get it.”
"Times have changed, and now there are telephones." Father Xue said warmly: "This thing is too expensive and troublesome to install, but it is really convenient."
Xue Ling said: "It is expensive now, but it will gradually become cheaper in the future and become popular in millions of families."
"Is it possible?" Xue's mother explained: "I heard from the older generation that telephones were expensive in the past. Unless you were a wealthy family, you wouldn't be able to use them! Nowadays, one phone costs several thousand yuan, which is more than a house."
It’s still expensive. It’s been decades and it’s still expensive!”
"Believe me." Xue Ling said with a smile: "The times have changed. Communications represent the future. Phone calls will only become cheaper and cheaper. If you don't believe me, let's take a chance."
Xue Sanbo squinted his eyes and said warmly: "If it can be really cheap, I will also install one in my courtyard. I can't afford it now."
Xue's father couldn't say that he wanted to buy it for his elder brother, because he would definitely refuse it outright. He secretly remembered it and planned to find an opportunity to make up a good reason and secretly buy it for his third brother.
…
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Tianyuan returned to the main factory to take a shower, and then drove his new car to the airport to pick him up.
The new car was very new and it felt great to drive. After driving for a while, he got used to it and slowly drove towards the airport.
In the morning he called Ahu, who explained that he had driven back to Rongcheng yesterday, picked up a large family and came to the provincial capital, and was now staying in a hotel not far away.
He said the flight was at 11am and he would leave for the airport at 9am.
Cheng Tianyuan asked him to take good care of the elderly and children on the road, and he agreed.
Ahu also said that there was a lot of luggage, including things for children, and the trunk was not big enough, so he had to tie part of it to the car.
Cheng Tianyuan advised: "Everything for the confinement period has been prepared here. Don't bring too much. If you ask my mother to keep some of your luggage, you will have to pay extra for taking the luggage that is too heavy on the plane."
"Okay, I'll let my godmother take care of things later," Ahu said.
Ahu also said that Cheng Tianfang only brought some clothes and nothing else. She also said that if she was too busy, she would learn training skills later, and for the time being she would help take care of her sister-in-law during the confinement period.
Cheng Tianyuan didn't quite agree. He felt that when the girl came over, he would have to go and learn. Her help was not needed for the time being.
The big apartment in Oriental Park was packed up last night and I bought a lot of things. Fortunately, the market here is very complete. After two trips, I finally bought most of it.
I'll use it for now, see what I need tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then buy it slowly.
After arriving at the airport, Cheng Tianyuan quickly received his relatives.
Xiao Ranran hugged his neck and kept cheering, "Dad! Dad! Dad!"
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled and patted his head.
"Dad and mom are not at home these days. Are there any commotion?"
"No!" Xiao Ranran remembered her mother and whispered aggrievedly: "I want my mother! Where is my mother? I want my mother!"
Cheng Tianyuan coaxed: "I will take you to find your mother now."
Liu Ying and Cheng Muhai stared at the Imperial Capital Airport, dumbfounded.
"This... place is too big! If Fang hadn't known how to read, we wouldn't have been able to walk here. The place is so big!"
Cheng Tianfang smiled happily, "Dad, Mom, don't be in a daze, let's go out quickly!"
"Follow me, the car is over there." Cheng Tianyuan held his son's hand and helped carry the luggage with the other hand.
A group of people got into the car.
"Dad! The car is beautiful! Beautiful!" Xiao Ranran was so excited after getting in the car that she touched it again and again with her little hands.
