I thought I would have something to eat soon, but unexpectedly, the old man went out for more than half an hour and still didn't come back.
Xue Ling couldn't help but mutter: "Isn't my mother going home to cook for herself? It's almost too late."
Cheng Tianyuan was also puzzled and said: "I guess I met my aunt and the two of them had a good chat and forgot about buying food for a while."
"I'm hungry." Xue Ling laughed bitterly.
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly took out a pineapple bun from the paper bag on the table, "Let's eat something first to cushion our stomach. I was so busy chatting with the Shanyue family this morning that I forgot to eat it."
Xue Ling took a big bite and finished the pineapple bun in two or three times.
"If everyone eats as much as I do, A Fang's bakery is guaranteed to make a lot of money every day."
Cheng Tianyuan teased: "Are you sure you don't get tired of eating bread for three meals? It's just snacks. You won't eat much at dinner, and you won't be full."
Xue Ling chuckled and urged: "Go find my mother! Go quickly!"
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "No, let's eat some more bread to cushion our stomach."
The last time he and Xue Heng had a bad handover, she was pushed down by Xiao Tietou's mother, and the child was almost born prematurely. He was so frightened that he couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he thought about it now.
Now she can't even walk. If her mother-in-law is not here, he can't leave unless a third person is there.
Xue Ling knew that he had been bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes, so he couldn't persuade him, so he had to take a small apple and eat it slowly.
It wasn't until almost 1:30 that Xue's mother came back, carrying four portions of steamed dumplings.
Xue Ling couldn't help but tease: "Mom, you made these dumplings yourself, right?"
"Hahaha!" Mother Xue smiled apologetically: "I was chatting with your aunt, and the conversation passed for a while. When I went to the store to buy it, they had already sold out, so I had to steam a few more for me."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "It's okay. We all ate bread just now, so we're not hungry."
Xue Ling glanced at his mother and felt that she was hiding something in her heart, so she didn't reveal it. She picked up the steamed dumplings to eat and muttered: "Freshly baked - delicious!"
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly prepared soy sauce for her and whispered: "Be careful because it's hot."
"It's okay." Xue Ling said, "I can just eat it myself. You should also eat it while it's hot."
After Cheng Tianyuan had eaten, he discussed with his mother-in-law that he should go to the warehouse to check the goods and go to the bank to check the accounts.
"Mom, it will take me about two hours to come back. I will try to be as quick as possible. You can't leave before my dad and the others come here!"
Mother Xue nodded: "Don't worry, I won't leave. Not even for a while!"
After hearing the guarantee, Cheng Tianyuan left in a hurry.
Xue Ling was not sleepy, so she sat down on the sofa with the support of her mother, and then raised her eyebrows: "Mom, what did you and your aunt talk about? Why are you so mysterious? You talked for so long?"
Mother Xue's eyes averted and she said, "It's none of your business! It's important to take good care of your fetus."
"Yo!" Xue Ling couldn't help teasing her and asked, "What's going on? Secretly hiding it from my dad, and secretly hiding it from me? You couldn't have used the family's money to go out and do whatever you wanted, right?"
"Nonsense!" Xue's mother glared at her angrily, and asked in a funny tone: "Your mother, am I that kind of person? If I were, our family would have broken up long ago! How could we still be as prosperous as we are today!"
Xue Ling continued to pursue: "What on earth is that? A whisper between women? A secret between women?"
"None of them." Mother Xue took out a big orange and asked, "Would you like one? I'll break half of it for you. I'm a little tired of eating steamed dumplings."
Xue Ling shook his head: "I'm still a little full. I'll eat later."
Mother Xue opened it by herself, buried her head, and ate absentmindedly.
The ward is very quiet.
After a long while, Xue's mother finally couldn't stand it anymore and said in a low voice: "Ling Ling, um... um... Cai Yunyan, are you familiar with her?"
"We are quite familiar." Xue Ling told the truth: "She and Boss Liao came to see me a few days ago. However, there were a lot of people here, so they left after talking for a few words. She said she would come see me again when she has time."
Mother Xue said "Oh" and thought about it seriously.
"I remember...she seemed to be pretty good-looking and had a pretty good temperament."
"Yes." Xue Ling explained: "She has an excellent temperament, is elegant and virtuous, and looks very charming even in her fifties. Beauty with temperament is the real lasting beauty."
After a pause, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What? Is she the one you were talking to aunt about?"
Mother Xue rolled her eyes and muttered: "Who said she was the one we were talking about!"
Xue Ling shook his head helplessly: "Mom, do you know? There are four clear words written on your face right now - I am lying!"
Forehead?!
Mother Xue rolled her eyes and finally told the truth: "Okay! We were indeed talking about her. However, your aunt said it herself, so I just listened. I went to ask her about some old women's issues.
I saw that she was not in a good mood, so I asked her about it. Unexpectedly, she angrily cursed you, Uncle Zhilan. We are family members, so I have to care about her. So I dragged her into the restaurant and chatted with her.
It took almost an hour.”
Xue Ling played with the orange peel and asked, "How was the chat? Just about Sister Cai?"
"You call her 'sister'?" Xue's mother asked funnyly: "Do you think it's appropriate? She is many years older than you! She is not of the same generation as you! She is of the same generation as us."
Xue Ling shrugged and said: "It's not like we are relatives who need to talk about seniority. At that time, I saw that she had a good temperament and looked young, so I called her sister. Boss Liao and I are partners, and we can be regarded as friends for many years. Sister Cai originally
She can't retire yet, but she got sick in her head a few years ago and suddenly fainted and fell into a coma. I introduced my aunt to help find a doctor and sent her to the provincial capital for treatment. My aunt should still remember her."
"Then you - you -" Mother Xue couldn't help but stare in surprise: "Do you know about her and your Uncle Zhilan?! Your aunt didn't know about it before!"
Xue Ling finally remembered this incident and explained: "I knew it a long time ago, but it wasn't Uncle Zhilan who said it. Once I went for a walk with my father and my third uncle, and I accidentally told them that they remembered that Sister Cai was talking to her.
Uncle Lan once had a relationship and told me quietly. When I was getting along with Sister Cai, I pretended not to know anything."
"You didn't tell your aunt back then, right?" Xue's mother asked.
Xue Ling shook his head: "Of course not. Who doesn't have any past memories? Why do you need to mention the little things from the past!"
This is the past of Uncle Zhilan and Sister Cai, and it is also their privacy. To respect others, you must first respect their right to privacy.
Mother Xue glanced at her and lowered her voice: "Your aunt is a little angry..."
"What are you angry about?" Xue Linghu asked: "Does she know about this? Uncle Zhilan told her, right?"
"Well." Mother Xue rolled her eyes and whispered: "A few days ago, she and her partner, Boss Liao, came to see you. Later, she stood at the gate of the hospital waiting for her partner to pick up the car. It happened that your uncle and aunt wanted to
Come in, and that’s how we met.”
"Then what?" Xue Ling asked.
Mother Xue whispered: "After the two of them looked at each other, they both stayed where they were. Cai Yunyan kept crying. Your aunt thought it was strange, so she pulled your uncle. Your uncle walked over and said hello to her. Cai Yunyan
Yunyan just cried, and then said, "I'm sorry, I'm so rude." Later, your aunt remembered her and said hello to her. Your uncle didn't say anything and just kept staring at her. Later, her partner drove over.
Cai Yunyan apologized and said that her lover had arrived and was about to leave. Your uncle hurriedly stopped her and asked if she was feeling unwell. She said no, she came here to see you. Your uncle told her that he is here now
I went to work and came to catch up with old times when I had time. Then Cai Yunyan nodded and left."
