Dad Xue nodded and agreed: "I still have some impressions. The eldest son of their family is about the same age as me, and we used to play slingshots together when we were young. But things changed later, and the old house fell into decline, and we stopped contacting him."
San Bo sighed and said, "Yes, it's all in the past."
Father Xue looked at his daughter and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly ask about this? You rarely go to the old house. You definitely don't know the Cai family."
"I know someone named Cai Yunyan." Xue Ling explained: "She said she is from the imperial capital and lives in an old house in the east of the city. The location is similar to our old house. I thought there are rich families there, so you should all know them.
.”
"Cai Yunyan?" The third uncle squinted his eyes, looked at his brother, and murmured, "Could this be the third daughter of the Cai family?"
"It should be." Father Xue said, "That's the name."
Xue Ling said "Aha!" and asked excitedly: "Do you know each other? Great! She is Boss Liao's lover and now lives in Rongcheng. She fell in love with Boss Liao when she went to the countryside, and later they became husband and wife.
.I settled in Rongcheng more than ten years ago due to a job transfer. Boss Liao is my partner in the second phase of the project."
Sanbo and Xue's father looked at each other again, with complex expressions in each other's eyes.
Xue Ling was so smart that he spotted it immediately and couldn't help but ask: "Dad, Third Uncle, what's wrong? Do you know Cai Yunyan?"
"...We know each other." San Bo replied slowly, "We know each other."
Dad Xue waved his hand and said, "Don't ask too many questions. Since you know them, just talk to them more."
"Why are you so mysterious?" Xue Ling asked funnyly: "Are you hiding something from me? Tell me quickly!"
Father Xue frowned and whispered: "This is not a good thing... Just stop being curious."
The third uncle said: "It's not a problem, the child is just curious to ask. Besides, this matter has been in the past for so long, they both have their own families, and they have already let go of it."
Xue Ling immediately heard the clues. It seemed that Sister Cai Yunyan should be related to someone in her family.
The third uncle smiled and said: "It's nothing. This Cai Yunyan is two years younger than your uncle Zhilan. They used to study in the same school and lived close to each other. They grew up like childhood sweethearts. Later... the family situation was not very good.
We moved away from the east side of the city and lost contact."
Xue Ling rolled his eyes and quickly guessed what was going on.
"Does her family disapprove of her and Uncle Zhilan?"
"Yes." Xue's father whispered: "The family was very difficult at that time. Everyone might even be in danger, fall from a height, and have no status at all. Your Uncle Zhilan was already in his teens at the time, and he was considered to be in love for the first time.
Age. He told us at that time, but none of us dared to nod. First, he was still young; second, the situation at home was very bad, and he had problems even having enough food. How could he dare to accept the marriage casually?
In addition...the Cai family didn't dare to approach our family and refused early on."
"What happened next?" Xue Ling asked.
The third uncle gave a very forced smile and whispered: "What else? Her family objected and she was not allowed to associate with Zhilan. Later, we were afraid of disturbing the neighbors, so we packed up and moved away. I went to live in the backyard of the infirmary.
, your father goes to live in a warehouse in a factory, while Zhilan works part-time and studies, running for life, just hoping that everyone can survive the difficulties and survive, how dare you expect anything. Cai Yunyan is studying, marrying, and having herself
Happiness. Your Uncle Zhilan later also found your aunt and got married. It was just the charming and charming feelings of a young and ignorant person, nothing like that!"
"Oh..." Xue Ling tsked in a low voice, never expecting that Uncle Zhilan and Sister Yunyan had such a past experience.
Uncle Zhilan is tall and handsome. Even though he is over fifty, he can still tell how handsome he was when he was young.
Sister Yunyan is elegant and quiet, with a soft face. It is not difficult to imagine how beautiful she must have been when she was young!
Unfortunately, many, many relationships do not go as expected. With so much helplessness and so much tears, many people who love each other have to separate and go on a new journey in life to find the person they love again and continue living.
San Bo lowered his voice: "Ling Ling, don't mention these words, so as not to affect the mood of the person involved. If the person next to you is stingy and jealous, he might cause trouble."
"I understand." Xue Ling said with a smile: "Private matters are fleeting and disappear as soon as they are over. I won't talk nonsense."
San Bo smiled approvingly and nodded.
After returning from the walk, Sanbo and Xue's father went back next door.
Cheng Tianyuan took Xiao Ranran to wash her hands and face before getting ready for bed.
Mother Xue came over and said with a smile: "Let Ranran sleep with us. It's rare that he doesn't dislike me and his grandpa, so let him sleep with us. In a few years, he will have to sleep alone, like this
There are many opportunities.”
Cheng Tianyuan nodded quickly, fed his son half a bowl of water, took him to pee, and then asked his grandmother to take him to the other side.
The door closed and it became quiet again.
Xue Ling stretched lazily and said with a smile: "That's great! We have a world of two people again!"
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled and stepped forward to hug her into his arms.
"Daughter-in-law, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"explain."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Tomorrow we will go to the department store to buy a small color TV."
Forehead?
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you talking about this suddenly? Did your parents say you want to buy it?"
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan smiled and explained: "My dad told me secretly. He said that he and your dad both like to watch TV and find news programs very interesting. Winter is coming now. If you can buy one at home,
, I can watch it occasionally at night, otherwise it would be too boring.”
"Okay!" Xue Ling said, "Take the money tomorrow and try to buy a big one. But you have to install telephone poles on the balcony, which will probably take some time."
"The department store will contact workers to come to help install it." Cheng Tianyuan let out a breath and whispered: "I'm still a little worried that you won't agree!"
"No, I don't want my children to watch too much, and I don't want to stop the elderly at all." Xue Ling explained: "They are all elderly. If they don't watch TV at night, they will occasionally get bored. My third uncle
Fortunately, he reads and goes to bed early, and occasionally plays chess with my dad. My dad and mom will go back to the imperial capital next, and your parents will be the only two left. If there are TV programs to watch, they will be in a better mood, not
Too lonely."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "I told my parents that if I'm busy, I'll go back first, and then come south to spend the New Year with us, just like last year. I told my parents that little Yangyang is too young to go to the Imperial Capital for the winter. They have already agreed.
.”
Old people love liveliness more than young people, especially during the Chinese New Year. There is a lot of excitement everywhere, and they don’t want to stay at home in the deserted place with big eyes wide open.
In addition, they had a great time celebrating the New Year here last year. The sun came out every now and then, and they could go out to play everywhere, visit temple fairs, etc.
Xue Ling smiled and nestled lazily on his shoulder.
"This year's Chinese New Year will definitely be more lively."
