The man's eyes moved slightly, as if he heard something.
But he just smiled kindly and continued eating the rice cake.
Xue Cong didn't eat much, so he explained: "I ate baked sweet potatoes over there, and I wasn't hungry yet. I sent Sanbo back just now, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, I was afraid of too much snow, so I hurried back."
The man paused slightly with his chopsticks and reminded: "If it snows, don't go too fast. The road is slippery in the snow, and the wheels of the car are not slippery enough, so be careful as much as possible."
"Yeah." Xue Cong nodded.
The two of them were full quickly.
The man went downstairs, while Xue Cong boiled hot water and washed the dishes and chopsticks one by one.
He came back soon and explained: "I asked them to go back first, and I will rest at home tonight."
Xue Cong wiped his hands and whispered: "If you are too busy, you can go back first. After the order is issued, you can go back to the imperial capital."
"There will be an important meeting here tomorrow." The man said, "I'll be back tomorrow evening."
Xue Cong lowered his eyes and said, "I have to go to work tomorrow. Can we have lunch together?"
"I guess not." The man replied, "President of the meeting, it won't be over until about three in the afternoon."
Xue Cong's eyes showed disappointment, and he nodded, "That's okay, I can just eat it at work."
The two hadn't seen each other for five months and sixteen days, but he could only stay at home for one night.
Forget it, she has long been used to it and has nothing to complain about.
The man took her hand and squeezed it.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to hand over the work tomorrow."
Xue Cong smiled softly, leaned on his broad shoulders, and squinted at the heavy snow that was still falling outside the window.
"There's so much snow this year..."
The man let out a low "Hmm" and said: "There is more snow in the north. It is so thick that when you step on it, your legs will sink. The snow is not heavy, and I think it will be over before midnight."
Xue Cong seemed to remember something and smiled softly.
"I still remember when I was young, my dormitory had no heating, and I could only burn charcoal for heating every day. Every time you wrote to me, you had to include a sentence at the end, 'Remember to leave a gap in the window and don't sleep too deeply.'
."
The man also remembered it and whispered: "The dormitory is small and it is dangerous to burn charcoal for heating. I have always wanted to go to you and make a small kang for you to sleep on. It's a pity..."
Unfortunately, after waiting and waiting, when he finally had a vacation and could go back, he encountered a new task and had to cancel the vacation and rush out.
When he finished his work and asked for leave to go back to find her, she had already moved out of the dormitory and tuned into the suburban radio station in the imperial capital.
His busyness made him miss a lot, and he failed to take good care of her.
Xue Cong just laughed and whispered: "It's over, let it be over. If you hold a grudge against it, you will be the one who feels uncomfortable. My cousin advised me that if I get divorced, I have to live alone, and if I don't divorce, I have to live alone, so why not?"
It's better to leave some thoughts and wait for the day when you step back. She said, if there is still love, don't give up easily."
The man's eyes were deep and he hugged her shoulders.
"We have been through so many difficulties along the way that I dare not give up easily. I will not agree to any divorce. When I got married to you, I promised that I would never leave you for the rest of my life. A manly man, I will keep my word. That day
I’ve forgotten that phone number. You’ve forgotten it too, okay?”
"Yeah." Xue Cong leaned on his shoulder, smiled and closed his eyes.
The night was very cold and icy, but the room was as warm as spring.
…
It's freezing cold, so the best thing to do is hide in the factory and work overtime.
Xue Ling went home at noon to hug her two babies, and spent the rest of the time hiding in the main factory to work overtime.
It wasn't until the weather turned sunny and the temperature rose that everyone realized that the Lantern Festival had arrived.
Xue Ling gave the workers a half-day off and asked the aunt in the canteen to cook glutinous rice balls and dumplings for everyone to eat at noon.
Southerners love to eat glutinous rice balls, while northerners love to eat dumplings. Everyone has their own preferences and can choose what they like.
Xue Ling packed up her things and drove to pick up her parents and sons.
Cheng Tianyuan originally wanted to pick him up, but Xue Ling said she was free, so he drove to the airport alone.
After waiting for more than half an hour, I finally saw my father-in-law and father pushing the luggage cart out, and my mother holding the two children on the left and right.
"mom, Mom, Mom!"
"mom!"
Ranran and Yangyang let go of their grandmother's hands and rushed over to hug Xue Ling.
Xue Ling looked at the two black sons and laughed.
"I got a tan at the beach! I'm so strong!"
Not only did the children get tanned, but the three elderly people also got a big tan. They were all in high spirits and seemed to be tougher.
"Hey! It seems that the climate in the South Island is very nourishing!"
Cheng Muhai explained with a smile: "Eat well and sleep well every day, go to the beach to play and run in the morning and evening, and be happy every day. Naturally everything is good."
Xue's father and Xue's mother were relieved to see that their daughter had lost weight, but her face was fair and rosy, and she was in good spirits.
"I heard that both factories have to work overtime during the Chinese New Year? Are the order volumes that big? How much help does the branch factory provide?"
Xue Ling smiled, understanding that although his father had left the factory to him, he was still a little worried. After all, he had maintained the business for so many years.
"Everyone has to work overtime, starting on the second day of the new year, and they work three shifts. Orders come in almost every day, and manufacturers are urged to send fabrics every day, and goods are rushed out every day."
Xue's father and mother looked at each other in disbelief.
In the past, no matter how good the market was, orders would only come in after the Lantern Festival.
After my daughter took over, she drastically changed the fabrics and only made jeans, but it became so popular all of a sudden!
Father Xue rolled his eyes suspiciously and asked in a low voice: "Is the business really so good? Isn't it just a flash in the pan?"
"No." Xue Ling explained: "The designer and I have changed the product design for the summer several times, and we finally made the decision yesterday. I just faxed it to a few big customers, and they immediately called to consult, and they all said they would do the next thing.
Come and place an order.”
"Oh." Father Xue nodded.
Mother Xue giggled and said: "It's good if you can make money. Your dad and I have retired anyway. It's your business to make money. If you can't, it's your incompetence. We don't care about you."
Xue Ling suppressed a smile secretly and said quietly: "If I had failed the factory, you would have started scolding me just now."
Cheng Muhai and Xue's father both laughed.
The family got in the car and drove towards the city center.
"But school is about to start the next day. I have been paying attention these two days and can't play anymore. Take out the book and read it. If you encounter something you don't understand, ask little Tietou brother."
"Hey!" Ran Ran said happily: "Mom! I picked up a big shell and gave it to Brother Tietou. He said he had never seen a shell before!"
Little Yangyang said excitedly: "Mom! I bought you a necklace! It's all made of shells! I also want to give one to grandma! By the way, my aunt and sister also have one! Aunt Achun also has one!"
Xue Ling nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Remember to bring gifts for everyone when you go out from now on. It doesn't have to be expensive, but you must bring your thoughts."
Xiao Yangyang chuckled and said: "We will send my brother back to school. We will stay here for a few days and then we will go to Southwest Spring City!"
"Chuncheng?" Xue Ling was surprised: "How many days will you stay?"
"Yes, yes!" Mother Xue explained: "I heard that the spring city has already bloomed. When spring comes, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom. How can we miss such a beautiful scenery?"
"Yes." Dad Xue said with a smile: "I will go to Spring City to see the flowers first, and next month I will fly to Luo City to see the peonies. Mu Hai will also go with us. When we come back, I will show you photos."
Xue Ling, who could only look at the photos and worked overtime every day, smiled bitterly: "That's okay, just have fun."
