Cheng Tianyuan nodded and said: "Liu Xiaoyu said this morning that he and his wife will come to our house tonight and bring you the money they earned. He also said that he will bring you the account books of the pig farm this time.
Take a look."
"Okay." Xue Ling said, "Wait for them to come later and give them a portion of the Imperial City bacon my parents brought."
Cheng Tianyuan said with a smile: "Last night Ahu said he was going to make roast suckling pig. Liu Xiaoyu took him to the pig farm to pick out two and came back with two. The groom-to-be is going to make roast suckling pig for everyone tomorrow morning!
"
"Oh! The roasted suckling pig is delicious!" Xue Ling smiled happily.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the elevator suspiciously and couldn't help but said: "I've been waiting for a long time, why hasn't the elevator come down yet?"
Xue Ling went home anxiously and said, "Let's take the stairs. Someone is probably moving things."
"Maybe it's broken." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "When I was going in and out in the past two days, I kept hearing noises from the elevator. The noise was weird!"
Xue Ling paused and said, "That won't work. Has the contact person come to fix it?"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Everyone is so busy that they probably didn't pay attention."
Xue Ling felt uneasy after thinking about it and said, "Let's not take the elevator. Write down the maintenance phone number at the stairs. When you get home, call the comrade workers to come and fix it."
"Hey!" Cheng Tianyuan responded.
The two of them climbed the stairs back home.
As soon as they arrived at the door of their home, they saw mother-in-law Liu Ying and mother Haitang waiting for them with their children in their arms.
"Mom! Dad!" Xiao Ranran was very excited, laughing and running towards them.
Xue Ling's eyes turned red, and he threw away the military-colored luggage bag in his hand, squatted down and picked up the little guy.
Xiao Ranran hugged her neck and kept calling: "Mom! Mom! Mom!"
The little guy missed his mother, but he didn't know how to express the excitement in his heart at this moment, so he shouted to his mother loudly and expressed it.
Xue Ling hugged him tightly.
Mother Xue came over with little Yangyang in her arms, and said with a gentle smile: "Look! Mom is back! Did you see? Mom is home!"
Little Yangyang was only a few months old and hadn't seen her mother for a long time. She stared at Xue Ling blankly and didn't react.
Liu Ying said with a smile: "Quick! Come in quickly! I'm waiting for you to have dinner! Xiao Ranran is full, and the others are waiting for you. Ling Ling, you have lost weight! Come and eat!"
Cheng Tianyuan greeted the two mothers, turned around, picked up his luggage and entered the house.
Xue Ling put down Xiao Ranran, hugged her youngest son quickly, and kissed his chubby white cheeks hard.
"Yangyang! Do you miss your mother? Do you miss her?"
The little guy stared at her and suddenly giggled.
Mother Xue said: "You are his mother. As soon as you hug him, he will recognize you. This is the nature of mother and child, and it cannot be wrong."
Xue Ling looked at her mother and saw that she had not changed much. She was plump and plump, with a rosy complexion. Her mother-in-law also looked similar, full of energy, and she was very happy inside.
"Mom! Mom! Let's all go inside and eat."
When Cheng Muhai and Xue's father saw Xue Ling coming back, they quickly helped set the dishes and chopsticks and brought out all the vegetables and meat that were warm on the stove.
Liu Ying moved a small rocking chair and took her grandson down to sit on it.
Xiao Ran then pulled the little wooden horse and rocked it next to his younger brother. He said like an adult: "You guys eat! I'll accompany my younger brother!"
Everyone laughed.
Father Xue smiled lovingly and said, "This boy knows how to be an older brother!"
Cheng Muhai quickly rewarded his eldest grandson with a piece of braised pork, and coaxed: "Then you stay with your brother, and we will eat first. When we are full, grandpa and grandpa will teach you how to play chess, and then watch cartoons."
"Okay!" Xiao Ranran patted her younger brother's shoulder and said in a soft voice: "Brother is here! Brother is with me! You have to smile! Smile!"
Little Yangyang played with the rattle in his hand, licking and chewing it, acting like his elder brother was transparent.
Everyone laughed again.
Xue Ling had been hungry for a long time, so she took big gulps of rice.
"By the way! Where is Ayuan?" Mother Xue asked: "Why did you come in and then go downstairs in a hurry?"
Xue's father replied: "He just came in and made a phone call immediately, and then went down. I guess something happened. He didn't say anything, so he probably didn't go far."
Xue Ling gnawed on the braised beef and explained: "The elevator may be broken. I asked him to call a maintenance worker."
After a while, Cheng Tianyuan came back, panting slightly.
"When I went out, I wrote on the elevator entrance on every floor, asking everyone not to take the elevator for the next two days. I just called the maintenance center and said that all the workers there have returned to their hometowns. He can come over and take a look at the earliest tomorrow afternoon. Let me
I told my neighbors not to take the elevator to avoid any accidents."
Cheng Muhai frowned and said, "It's probably broken. It's a bit wobbly when I sit on it these days, and the noise is also loud."
"It's safer for us to climb the stairs." Dad Xue said, "Some elevators are broken and big accidents will happen. Anyway, we still have to climb a lot and take a few more steps. It's just exercise."
Cheng Tianyuan washed his hands and ate while explaining: "I have written every layer. I hope nothing will happen. It's the Chinese New Year, so I feel panic after hearing this."
After eating, Xue Ling hugged her younger son and played with her older son.
Cheng Tianyuan and his mothers went to clean up the kitchen, while their fathers played chess.
Xue Ling asked: "Dad, have the two children taken a bath?"
"It's all ready." Cheng Muhai explained: "It's cold now, so I take my clothes to the balcony to dry at noon, then give the child a bath and put them on warmly. Little Yangyang would have wet herself. What has your mother brought abroad recently?
Even if he wears diapers every day, he won’t be afraid of getting wet and his body will stay warm.”
Xue Ling thought for a while, then pulled open her youngest son's thick cotton pants and took a look.
"Oh! These are diapers! Haha! They look so fashionable!"
Dad Xue picked up a chess piece and explained in a warm voice: "Your mother's old sister sent it. She said that when she was raising her grandson abroad, she found that foreigners all use this kind of thing. It is a bit expensive, but
It’s very convenient. Children won’t wet their pants all the time when wearing them in winter. When the weather is cold, they will catch cold easily if their pants get wet, which is not good.”
Cheng Muhai narrowed his eyes and asked, "How expensive is it? Is it very expensive?"
Father Xue laughed and said: "We can still afford it. Little Yangyang has been using it well these days. She specially called Overseas and asked people to send more than a dozen boxes. Lingling, you will be there tomorrow.
Go to the bank and transfer money to the old aunt’s son’s account.”
"Okay!"
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Xiao Ranran pointed at the clock on the wall and jumped up and shouted: "Animation! Animation!"
Cheng Muhai said "Yo!" and quickly held his grandson and said, "I've forgotten the time, it's already started! Hurry up!"
So Xue's father picked up the chessboard, Cheng Muhai picked up his grandson, and they both went to the opposite side.
Mother Xue boiled hot water and said to her daughter: "It must be inconvenient to take a bath outside. Go take a hot bath and give Yang Yang to me. We also want to watch cartoons!"
Xue Ling had no choice but to hand over his youngest son and went into the room to find clothes and a sweater to take a shower.
After I came out from the shower, I heard two slightly familiar voices outside - it should be Liu Xiaoyu and his wife!
