Mother Xue smiled and whispered: "Isn't it true? Even if you are a close relative, there is no one who will never ask for something in return. A mother is kind and her son is filial. A mother must be kind, and then a son will be filial."

The old couple still understand this truth.

Father Xue patted his chest and said: "We raised our daughter and gave everything to her, son-in-law, and several children. It is reasonable for them to provide for us in old age. We are confident that we are not the kind of people who just want to The older generation has given to their children, so they can still enjoy the kindness of their children with peace of mind."

"Having said that, it took too long..." Mother Xue sighed: "I will inevitably feel guilty. You said, if we are not dragged down by us, people of Ling Ling and A Yuan's age will be more comfortable, right? Bar?"

After all, she still felt sorry for her daughter and son-in-law.

Dad Xue smiled and said: "Don't you still have to bear the responsibility? We are their responsibility. They dare not abandon us!"

"That's why I said it was us who dragged them down!" Xue's mother emphasized again.

Dad Xue stopped and said, "Family members are tied to each other, so we can't say it so harshly. When we were their age, although we didn't have the ties of our old parents, we still had to help them raise a few children, didn't we? Children are studying At that time, we stayed in the imperial capital, picked up the children in the morning and evening, and took care of the house. The children did not need to study, so we took them to travel around. When Lingling and Ayuan were working hard in their careers, we helped them guard the rear and take care of the children. It’s not like we paid nothing.”

"That's what we should do." Mother Xue said: "They are busy with their careers, and we help take care of the children. They are not tied up and can freely develop. We take care of the children, and the children are close to us, even when they grow up. Yes, you can still be very close to us."

Dad Xue laughed and asked, "Isn't this the same reason? We did what we should do. Now it's their turn to do what they should do."

At this time, Xue Zhilan walked in with a cane.

"Brother Wu, sister-in-law, are you back? There was a thunderstorm outside just now - aren't you wet?"

Dad Xue laughed loudly: "Nowhere! As soon as we arrived outside the gate, it started raining. The rain here came quickly, hard, and fast. The bodyguards ran in to get umbrellas, no matter how fast they were, more than ten A second is enough to get someone wet."

"My whole body was wet." Xue's mother explained: "Ling Ling happened to go out to look for us and came in with us. She and A Yuan helped us clean up before going back to our room to change clothes."

Xue Zhilan asked with concern: "You're not cold, are you? You're not sneezing, are you?"

"We didn't." Xue's mother replied: "Ling Ling sneezed while looking after us. A Yuan made ginger water for her to drink, so it should be fine."

Xue Zhilan put his crutch aside and sat down slowly.

"As you get older, you can't be careless. You have to change out of wet clothes when you get in the rain, and blow dry your hair, and then drink some hot water or ginger water. Fortunately, it's hot here all year round, so you don't have to worry about the big temperature difference. , not to mention we don’t have to worry about catching colds during the season, which saves us a lot of worries.”

Dad Xue nodded: "Yes! In the past, every year when winter came, you had to drink at least a few packs of cold medicine. In spring, you probably also had to drink it. After coming here, you obviously don't need to drink so much medicine."

"I'm pretty close." Xue's mother yawned and said, "I'll go take a look at Lingling."

After saying this, the old man walked out slowly.

Father Xue watched his wife walk away and couldn't help but laugh.

"What the old guy loves most is his children!"

Xue Zhilan was not surprised at all and said: "As long as you become a parent, you will be the same." Xue's father did not continue the topic and asked: "Has Ah Huan called you recently?"

"No." Xue Zhilan explained: "He is very busy and can't get through on the phone. Xiao Yi said that he hasn't been in contact with him for more than half a month."

Father Xue whispered: "Shan You's parents...are all gone."

"Because of the epidemic?" Xue Zhilan asked.

Father Xue nodded: "Let's go together."

Xue Zhilan was a little surprised and whispered: "They have many underlying diseases. It's not surprising that they can't survive."

"What if..." Xue's father pointed at himself and asked, "With my physical condition and my age, can I survive?"

Xue Zhilan slowly shook his head: "Not necessarily. The current research on this virus is far from enough and it takes time."

Father Xue sighed: "This is similar to the plague in ancient times... I don't know when it will end."

"I've started getting vaccinated." Xue Zhilan said: "It will get better little by little. No matter what disaster strikes, there must be a process."

Father Xue whispered distressedly: "Ah Huan has been busy researching, day and night...it's really hard."

"When something happens, there must be a group of people at the front to carry it." Xue Zhilan sighed quietly, "We are doing this, and we should understand our responsibilities and missions. Now that we have chosen, we will not shirk or shrink back. .”

Father Xue's eyes flashed with tears as he asked, "Do you miss Ah Huan a lot? I'm sure I'm worried too, right?"

He has also been a father for decades and understands this feeling very deeply.

Xue Zhilan smiled reluctantly and did not dare to answer.

Father Xue patted his cousin's hand and whispered: "When this wave of epidemic passes, the child will fly to visit you immediately."

Xue Zhilan smiled sadly: "I... I am a bad old man with nothing to look at. He has to go back to spend time with Xiao Yi first, and then spend time with his son and daughter. They need Ah Huan more than me. I am born in this way, We can understand his difficulties and difficulties. But the children are different... They don't understand Ah Huan very well, especially Niu Niu."

"Little girl?" Father Xue asked, "Is she graduating soon?"

Xue Zhilan shook his head and explained: "Her brother is about to graduate, and she has just entered college. They are quite a few years apart, seven or eight years apart."

Xue's father sighed heartbrokenly: "Ah Huan is busy working every day, so he really doesn't have much time to spend with his family."

Xue Zhilan smiled bitterly: "One time Xiaoyi had a fight with him, and suddenly he started crying. He said that they hadn't seen each other for a month, and they finally got to see each other during the vacation, but unexpectedly they started to quarrel over a trivial matter. Ah Huan suddenly I didn’t dare to speak. We helped raise the two children and spent very little time with their parents. Xiaoyi was better. She understood that Ah Huan was too busy to take care of the family, so she tried her best to spend time with the two children. Children. But Ah Huan... really neglected his family too much. Fortunately, he retired early in the past few years and spent more time with his two children during the winter and summer vacations. Otherwise, that girl Niuniu would not even be willing to call him "Dad" .”

Father Xue couldn't help but ask: "Isn't that the case? Both children are very well-behaved and obedient, and they don't have the kind of rebellious and awkward tempers." (End of Chapter)
