Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 142

That night, Xue Heng took Xue's father and Xue's mother back to the community and stayed at Xue's house overnight.

Cheng Tianyuan cooked millet porridge for them as a midnight snack and placed bowls on the table.

After two days of running around, Father Xue and Mother Xue were very tired, so they ate millet porridge and went to bed.

Xue Heng took Xue Ling to look at the photos, and even took a photo of them when they were children. He said with a smile that Xue Ling had not changed at all and was exactly the same as when he was a child.

"Look at you, your little face is as chubby as a big bun!"

Xue Ling had long forgotten what happened when he was a child. Looking at the pictures one after another, vague memories came to him, and he was fascinated for a moment.

"...It turns out I looked like this when I was a child!"

Xue Heng pinched her cheeks affectionately and said with a smile: "Yes! At that time, you always liked to pinch my face, and also pinched my brother's face, and you took us to play together. Every time I went back to my hometown in the imperial capital, I always yelled that you should first Came to find you."

Xue Ling also laughed and let out a long sigh.

"Time flies, and in a blink of an eye we are already in our early twenties!"

Xue Heng glanced at Cheng Tianyuan who was washing dishes in the kitchen from the corner of his eyes, his tone was displeased.

"After the New Year, you are only 21 years old, and you still have a lot of good times. Life is long, but it's a pity that your single days are not long. Why did you get married so early!"

Xue Ling shrugged and replied with a smile: "Not everyone can be sure about fate. When marriage comes, just get married!"

The handsome man sitting next to him flashed his eyes and lowered his voice: "Do you regret it? Do you?"

Xue Ling was stunned and quickly shook his head: "No! Brother Yuan is very kind to me, and I like him too. We have been engaged since we were children, and it is only a matter of time before we get married."

Xue Heng glanced at her, with a look of anger in his eyes.

"You are a woman of the new era and highly educated. How can you be influenced by traditional and backward concepts? We young people should pursue freedom of love and freedom of marriage. The words of a matchmaker and the orders of parents are all feudal society. It’s forbidden to leave something behind to poison people!”

Xue Ling disagreed, and said with a smile: "We are different. We truly love each other, and we love each other even more after marriage. Our parents' orders to be a matchmaker are the icing on the cake for us."

Xue Heng felt very uncomfortable and whispered: "In my opinion... you deserve better."

Apart from having a good skin, what else about Cheng Tianyuan is worthy of her lifelong commitment?

The Xue family is a large family in the imperial capital. It was a noble family hundreds of years ago. It has been passed down to this day and is still flourishing, with a transcendent status and prosperity.

If Father Cheng hadn't saved Uncle Xue, there would never have been such a marriage.

The Xue family is considered prestigious in the imperial capital. How could a poor rural boy like Cheng Tianyuan be able to reach such a high position if he didn't have this old engagement?

Uncle Xue is very rich, and the factory will be better and richer in the future. These are the foundations that Uncle Xue has worked hard for most of his life to create, and they are not something that poor boy Cheng Tianyuan can covet!
Thinking that he had just arrived in the imperial capital and went to the factory early the next morning to drill - he looked down upon him in his heart!
A poor boy is a poor boy. Not only does he take advantage of such a wonderful wife, he is also thinking about his uncle and aunt's family business!

Xue Ling secretly felt unhappy after hearing what he said.

"Where! Brother Yuan is very good. He is always taking care of me."

She glanced at the clock in the living room and said, "It's already past ten o'clock, you should go to bed early! I'm going back to the room first."

Xue Heng pushed the photo album in his hand to her and said warmly: "This is specially brought for you to see, you have to see it!"

"Okay, okay!" Xue Ling responded casually and went back to the room holding the photo album.

Cheng Tianyuan had also cleaned the kitchen, wiped his hands and walked out.

Xue Heng stood up lazily and gave a mild smile: "Good night!"

Cheng Tianyuan nodded lightly, turned around and walked to the balcony to collect his clothes.

……

Early the next morning, Cheng Tianyuan got up and made steamed buns and porridge.There is white snow outside the window. Although there are rays of sunshine, the temperature is still very low and the snow has not yet melted.

He saw ice flowers on both balconies, so he put on his jacket and gloves to clean them up.

After Xue's mother got up, she looked at the well-organized home, the delicious steamed buns and porridge, and smiled happily.

"His dad, look at A Yuan, everything is spotless. In the past, when we went out and came home, the house would be a mess. Fortunately, A Yuan made the house so clean."

As Dad Xue washed his face, he smelled the scent of steamed buns wafting from the kitchen and smiled softly.

"I feel more at ease since my daughter lives with him. With her laziness, the house will definitely be a mess."

He knows his daughter very well. Although she is not lazy, she is limited to studying and working. In terms of life, it sounds like she is not very particular, but in reality she is too lazy to take care of her and does not like to do housework.

Xue's mother looked at Xue Ling's room and laughed and scolded: "She's still asleep! Little lazy idiot!"

The two of them became more and more satisfied with their son-in-law. They talked and laughed and walked to the living room.

Cheng Tianyuan saw them and opened a small door on the balcony.

"Dad, Mom, morning! The thermos pot has been replaced with hot water. Please pour some to drink."

"Hey!" Dad Xue responded.

Mother Xue reminded her gently: "Don't catch a cold, get ready and come in quickly."

Cheng Tianyuan smiled and nodded, closed the door and continued working.

Xue's father looked towards the guest room and whispered to his old wife: "Xiao Heng must not be awake yet. Let him fall asleep and don't call him."

Cheng Tianyuan finished his work, poured hot water and went inside.

"Daughter-in-law, it's time to get up. You made an appointment with your old classmate Xiao Jiaxue this morning. Don't be too late and make people wait."

Xue Ling said "Ah!" and quickly got up to dress and wash up.

Cheng Tianyuan went to the kitchen, took out the steamed buns and spooned several bowls of rice porridge.

"Dad, Mom, it's time to have breakfast."

The family gathered around the dining table and chatted while eating.

Mother Xue smiled and praised: "Ayuan, your skills are really good, the steamed buns are delicious and tender!"

Cheng Tianyuan smiled: "Mom can eat more if she likes it. I used to make harder steamed buns, and Ling Ling likes them softer, but later I only made soft buns."

"It's delicious! It's very fragrant!" Xue's father gave him a thumbs up.

Xue Ling buried her head in eating while anxiously looking at the clock on the wall.

Cheng Tianyuan was afraid that she would choke, so he whispered: "Don't eat too fast, we are all friends, we don't care about the delay."

"That's right!" Xue Ling slowed down and asked with a smile, "Will you go with me? She asked me to meet at the coffee shop opposite People's Square. There is a direct bus."

Dad Xue said quickly: "Ayuan, the People's Square is very lively, you have to go shopping."

"That's right!" Mother Xue echoed the suggestion: "You can't stay at home all the time. Go out more and buy some things to take back to your in-laws and friends. It's rare to come here, so you have to bring some gifts back."

Cheng Tianyuan was not worried about Xue Ling going out alone. It was too cold outside.

"Okay, I'll go with her. I'll take her to the station to buy tickets in the afternoon, because I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy tickets in a few days."

"Hey! I almost forgot when I mentioned this!" Father Xue put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "I have booked two plane tickets for you in advance."
