Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 1777 Hot Potatoes
When Chen Xinzhi saw Xue Xin, she was still sleeping on her eldest brother's lap, with tiredness on her face.

Xue Ling told Chen Xinzhi all about her daughter's embarrassing incident last night, and specifically emphasized that the whole family was very angry with her.

When Chen Xinzhi first heard that Xue Xin stayed up until three o'clock and still didn't fall asleep, he felt distressed and angry at the same time. He was angry that she ignored her own health in order to start a business, and even more distressed that she was so enthusiastic and not afraid of hard work.

"Madam, Xiaoxin was not impulsive." Chen Xinzhi whispered: "She just wanted to prove herself so much that she acted too hastily."

Xue Ling sighed helplessly: "For the sake of her injury last night, I didn't scold her, and her father didn't scold her either. Not only did she almost hit her second sister-in-law, she also woke up the whole family. "

She is older, and once she wakes up in the middle of the night, she will probably not be able to sleep.

Although the eldest son said that he should stay and take care of his sister, he was not at ease about being a mother. After returning to the room, he was still tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep, so he simply went out to the living room to warm himself by the fire early.

Cheng Huanran leaned on the pillow and slept lightly. Early in the morning is the best time for people to sleep soundly. He did not notice Chen Xinzhi and Xue Ling who quietly walked in the door.

Xue Xin lay in her eldest brother's arms, sleeping very deeply.

Chen Xin glanced at the thick dark circles under her eyes and whispered: "Madam, don't worry, I will stay and take care of her, and let her rearrange her work schedule. She will not be allowed to stay up late again in the future."

"Alas..." Xue Ling couldn't help but sympathize with his future son-in-law: "This child looks well-behaved, but she has always been the most troublesome. Don't think that she is a hot potato, but she is actually a hot potato."

Chen Xinzhi was amused for a while and lowered his voice: "Madam, no matter how hot a potato it is, she is also the treasure in my heart. I will recognize her for the rest of my life."

"Okay." Xue Ling chuckled: "I wish you good luck."

After saying this, she turned and left.

Chen Xinzhi carefully screwed the suitcase into the room, opened it gently, took out a set of home clothes, then took off his down jacket and put it on.

Although he moved very gently, the rustling sound of changing clothes still woke up Cheng Huanran.

He yawned, then frowned and smiled.

Seeing that he couldn't move, Chen Xinzhi quickly hung up his down jacket, then walked over gently and made a gesture.

Cheng Huanran understood and nodded repeatedly.

Chen Xinzhi pulled off the quilt and gently picked up Xiaoxin. Cheng Huanran quickly took the opportunity to move his thighs, put the big pillow behind him and stuffed it under Xiaoxin's body.

Xiaoxin fell asleep on the pillow, rubbed it in a daze, and soon fell asleep again.

Chen Xinzhi carefully wrapped himself in a thin quilt and sat on the edge of the bed.

Cheng Huanran staggered out of bed. His thighs were so numb that he couldn't walk. He could only sit on the carpet and massage his calves and thighs little by little with his hands.

Chen Xinzhi gave him a grateful look.

Cheng Huanran shrugged and whispered: "If you had come back a few hours earlier, I, the eldest brother, would not have had the opportunity to take care of her."

Chen Xinzhi smiled slightly.

Cheng Huanran stood up, swung his legs, limped out, and quietly closed the door.

Chen Xinzhi withdrew his eyes, looked at Keren'er beside him tenderly, and unknowingly yawned.

He gently lifted a corner of the quilt and slept on the outside.

……

Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan helped a few old people change clothes and wash up, and then went to the big kitchen to have breakfast together.

Cheng Huanran was anxious to go to work and had already eaten in advance.

"Grandpa, grandma, grandma, I'm going to work first." Xue's father warned: "The road outside is slippery, don't try to drive fast, it's only a few minutes anyway."

"Hey! Okay!" Cheng Huanran said goodbye to his parents and hurried to work.

Cheng Tianyuan spooned millet porridge to the three old people and handed them small buns.

Xue Ling held her phone while typing and didn't eat for a long time.

Mother Xue couldn't help but glare at her and said angrily: "You talk about children playing with mobile phones all day long, why don't you talk about yourself? Even the food is not delicious!"

"Mom~" Xue Ling chuckled and said, "I'm sending you good news!"

Mother Xue raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's the good news?"

"When the weather gets warmer, Xinzhi and Xiaoxin will get engaged first." Xue Ling explained: "I told Xinzhi earlier that it will be tentatively scheduled for March of the lunar calendar."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then started laughing one after another.

"Good thing! Great news!"

"Ouch! The children have been talking about it for so long, we really need to let them have a name!"

"That's right! Boy and girl are still friends, right? It's different when they are engaged. They are an unmarried couple. They can wait until they get married."

Dad Xue said with a smile: "In ancient times, getting engaged meant having a formal status, and the two families were related by in-laws. From now on, just wait until the marriage is completed. This Tietou is more than ten years older than Xiaoxin, and he must have been waiting impatiently for a long time. "

"That's right!" Liu Ying smiled with her dentures: "As soon as Xiaoxin has a holiday, he will come to fight with us. Ever since she got Tietou, we haven't had much of a share. Hey! The old saying still applies. Reason, sooner or later your daughter will belong to someone else’s family.”

"Yes, yes!" Xue's mother nodded in agreement: "My daughter is raised by someone else's family. No matter how much you love her and coax her, you have to let her marry when it's time for her to marry. Keep your daughter and keep her income. Qiu, you have to marry when you have to. Anyway, it’s good enough to marry her so close and you can still see her every three days.”

"Yes." Liu Ying said with a smile: "We are just such a treasure, so marrying far away is definitely not possible. Fortunately, that guy Tietou is close. If he marries our Xiaoxin abroad, I will definitely be the first one. be opposed to!"

Everyone laughed.

"I'm against it too!"

"I don't agree with it either!"

Liu Ying gestured with the chopsticks in her hand: "No matter how many planes and high-speed trains there are, they can't serve your family every day. After a woman gets married, she has a family, a job and children, so how can she go home whenever she wants. In the past, we were married far away and the transportation was not very good. If our daughter married far away, we might never see her again, which would make her cry so miserably. Now, it’s the same as marrying far away. You come back once or twice a year and a half, but you can’t see her when you want to. , I don’t think there is much difference from the people before.”

"Don't worry." Xue Ling said with a smile: "Xinzhi bought a courtyard house in the back community at a high price just because he was afraid of your objections. She is getting married right in front of the house. Do you still need to worry? Maybe if she shouts louder, you can do it. I can hear you."

"Hahaha!"

"I turned around with a cane to see her. It's just a few steps away! So great!"

Seeing that Cheng Tianyuan beside him didn't say much, Xue Ling couldn't help but poke him lightly.

"What's the matter? Can't bear to leave your daughter?"

Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and seemed to think for a while.

"As my daughter grows older, she will get married sooner or later. It's hard for us to figure out what she is thinking now, so we should let the people who should worry about her worry about it."

Xue Ling laughed dumbly: "I seem to think so too!"

Cheng Tianyuan smiled softly and gave her a small steamed bun.

"Let's eat and ignore those annoying people."
