At around ten o'clock, the two brothers Xue Heng and their third uncle went back.
Cheng Tianyuan poured hot water and asked Xue Ling to wash her hands and face, and also gave her a foot bath.
"Daughter-in-law, does it still hurt?"
Xue Ling nodded: "There is still some pain, but it is not that painful."
Cheng Tianyuan stared at her ankle and explained: "There is still some swelling."
Xue Ling felt warm on her feet and closed her eyes comfortably.
Cheng Tianyuan turned around and turned on the heater on the opposite side.
"I'll clean up the kitchen, and then I'll carry you over there when it's warm."
Xue Ling asked doubtfully: "Is the kitchen not tidied up yet?"
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Prepare tomorrow's breakfast and soak some fungus and barley."
Xue Ling coquettishly whispered: "Hubby, you have worked hard!"
The elderly and children all went to the South Island to travel for the winter, and they would not be able to come back until at least the Lantern Festival. During this month, he had to support the family alone, and I have to say that it was really hard.
Cheng Tianyuan was used to being busy, so he loudly said in the kitchen: "It will be better when the children grow up and know how to help."
Ranran and Yangyang can already help sweep and mop the floor, and occasionally play with their younger siblings, but their movements are too rough and they can't be very careful, so they can't help much.
After two or three years, when Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong can eat and dress themselves, it will be much easier.
Xue Ling yawned and continued to soak her feet.
Soon, Cheng Tianyuan came back from his work and helped her wipe her feet.
"The water is a little cold. Let's carry you to the other side first."
Xue Ling was drowsy, lying on his back and rubbing his neck.
Cheng Tianyuan shrank his neck and whispered: "Don't make people angry..."
She giggled.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled fondly and carried her directly back to the room.
Then he went across to check the kitchen, turned off the heater, then turned off the lights and closed the door.
The old Zheng family next door was still laughing, and the laughter of Duoduo and Little Tietou was the most obvious.
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled and entered the room, then closed the door.
Warm light shines through the window, and the night is cold, but my heart feels warm.
…
On the first day of the new year, Xue Huan and San Bo came over early to have breakfast.
Cheng Tianyuan made it very rich, with several plates of sweet and salty dishes.
San Bo ate the hot steamed cake and muttered: "It's delicious! A Yuan's craftsmanship is getting better and better!"
Xue Huan nodded in agreement: "The chef is excellent!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and explained: "There may be more people at noon. Lingling said that we would book two tables downstairs and invite cousin Ah Cong to come and eat together."
The third uncle stopped and said, "One table is enough, don't worry about the two in my house!"
Cheng Tianyuan pretended not to hear and hurriedly turned around to boil hot water.
Xue Huan and San Bo set off early.
Xue Heng and Xue Ling slept until three o'clock in the morning. It was not until Cheng Tianyuan urged them twice that they lazily finished their breakfast and set off.
The old house finally became lively during the Chinese New Year.
Xue Ling walked a little unnaturally, Cheng Tianyuan helped her along the way, using his own arms to support her.
Uncle San still sends red envelopes to everyone, and everyone sends red envelopes to the elderly to wish them a happy new year.
Xue Cong came, and so did his husband, walking hand in hand towards us.
The gentleman is tall and burly, with an air of nobility, but he treats others very kindly. He shakes hands with everyone with a smile and gives the third uncle a big red envelope.
Xue Cong snuggled next to her husband, with a happy smile on her face.
Xue Ling invited her to have lunch together.
She declined politely, explaining that her daughter was going home to celebrate the New Year, and she took her daughter to her husband's hometown to pay New Year greetings to the old man.
"It's okay, we'll make an appointment next time!" Xue Ling said with a smile.
At almost noon, Sanbo's two sons came. The two brothers came with their children to pay New Year greetings, but the two daughters-in-law did not show up.
The third uncle ignored them and only gave red envelopes to his grandchildren.
Xue Ling invited them to have dinner together at Ronghua Mall.
The two brothers looked at each other and refused.
Xue Ling couldn't force it, so he finally took San Bo and brother Xue Heng back.
The business of the shopping mall is very good during the Chinese New Year, and there are also many people having a big meal.
There were only five people at their table, and the manager arranged a small table for them. He apologized and explained: "It may be a little crowded, so I have to feel sorry for you. But don't worry, Boss Xue, the dishes are all first-class! The kitchen opened early this morning
Purchase a lot of fresh seafood and make sure you have a good time."
When Sanbo heard the word "seafood", he immediately associated it with "expensive".
"not too much……"
Xue Ling held the old man's hand and chuckled: "Please arrange some delicious and fresh dishes."
The third uncle looked at her angrily and whispered: "The food at home is so good, why do you come here to waste it?"
Seafood plus water and wine, it's such a lively day, it is estimated to cost about two hundred yuan, or even more.
Xue Ling shook his head helplessly: "I work so hard to make money just so I can spend it when I can. Finally I can treat you to a meal, so you don't mind how much it costs. I can still afford this meal."
Everyone laughed.
Xue Heng lowered his voice: "Uncle San, she made tens of millions last year! This meal can only cost more than a hundred, so you don't have to save it for her."
Cheng Tianyuan comforted him: "As long as you are happy and eat."
The third uncle laughed: "Okay, okay! You young people are the ones who make the decision now, I listen to you!"
…
On the afternoon of the second day of the second lunar month, the temperature began to rise and the sun shone brightly on the earth.
Xue Ling's foot injury still prevents her from moving around, so she has been staying at home.
Xue Heng and Cheng Tianfang were both on vacation, and while their parents were away, they ate here three times a day.
Xue Huanze came back in the evening, his handsome face full of spring breeze.
Everyone knew it, no one asked, they just smiled and pretended not to know.
On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xue Ling drove to the main factory, and Xue Heng also started to go to work.
Cheng Tianyuan's work phone also started to ring, and customers came to place orders one after another.
Everything is back on track.
Two days later, Xue Ling came back and handed Cheng Tianyuan a big box.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the English letters above, but found that he only knew one or two words, and he couldn't recognize them all together.
"Daughter-in-law, what is this?"
Xue Ling took off his coat and said with a smile: "Take it apart and take a look!"
Cheng Tianyuan slowly opened it.
A huge black microphone was placed in the box, which looked similar to the "Big Brother" advertised on TV.
Xue Ling explained: "The number is xxxxxxxxxx, which is a very auspicious number. Mine is only one number different from yours. Your last number is 9, and my last one is 8."
"Did you buy it too?" Cheng Tianyuan exclaimed, "Isn't that worth tens of thousands of dollars?!"
For people in this era, ten thousand yuan is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.
Xue Ling hurriedly made a hissing gesture and whispered: "We are all in business, running around every day. With this thing, it is more convenient for customers to contact us. You don't have to worry about customers coming to order when shipping.
You missed it, didn't you? With this, you don't have to worry about this. As long as you are in the imperial city, the signal will not be bad. In remote places, such as mountains and fields, you probably have to go to the top of the mountain to get a signal
.”
Cheng Tianyuan touched the shiny and hard shell and twisted it.
"Oh, it's still a little heavy."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "What a big brick! Apart from making phone calls and sending messages, there are almost no good functions. The main thing is that it is convenient to use. From today on, whether you are in the car, on the road, or in the warehouse,
You can answer it at any time.”
"Then - I have to tell the customers and customers the number quickly." Cheng Tianyuan said with a smile.
Xue Ling nodded.
Cheng Tianyuan turned around and was about to make a phone call - Xue Ling called out to him: "Hey! This is a gift from someone, why didn't you even say thank you!"
Recently, there are only two of them at home, and the atmosphere is basically sweet and sweet.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned back, hugged her and kissed her.
"Daughter-in-law, thank you! My wife is very good at making money and spending money very well."
