At around 9 a.m., a Buick LaCrosse with a Beijing license plate was running on the highway, heading towards Chengjiapo, Dayao Town, Anwu County.
At this time, there were very few cars on the road, so Cao Shujie drove very fast.
Cheng Xiaolin saw this in the back seat and told Cao Shujie: "Shujie, just drive slower, we are not in a hurry."
"It's okay, I know it well," Cao Shujie said.
All told, he has been an experienced driver for more than 20 years, and he always puts safety at the core!
Mengmeng was sitting in the back seat looking at the little pug in the carton. With this puppy around, she was surprisingly quiet now.
Cao Shujie never thought that a naughty child like his daughter would turn into a lady because of a little pug. This surprised him, but in some aspects, he was also very lenient with this little pug.
For example, he has never been in the habit of bringing dogs into the car, but this little pug is an exception, and this is already the second time.
The little pug raised its head in the carton and looked at Meng Meng who was looking down at it. The little pug's eyes seemed to be moving in circles very smartly.
If you look carefully, you will find that this little pug has a flattering look in its eyes.
It is very smart and seems to know that Mengmeng is the most favored in this family. It is also moving closer to Mengmeng to get more attention and eyes, and then gain benefits.
Cheng Xiaolin is very pleased with this little pug now.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had been able to sit in the car and play with her mobile phone so relaxedly. The last time she didn't have to think about coaxing Mengmeng was when she was taking the train to school a long time ago.
After a while, Cheng Xiaolin turned her head and looked at the little pug playing with her daughter. She was still thinking about giving it a meal another day.
At least a chicken leg or a bone with meat, otherwise it will be insincere.
"Little dog, let me tell you, there is an older brother in my grandma's family." Mengmeng said very delicately.
She then shook her head and said: "But when I get to grandma's house, if my brother touches you, you will bite him."
Cheng Xiaolin: "..."
She never expected that her daughter would have such extremely dangerous thoughts, and she was glad that she discovered it early.
She was not in the mood to play with her phone this time, so she put her phone in her pocket and said quickly: "Mengmeng, when you get to grandma's house, you can't let Xiaobai bite your brother Dongdong, or else I won't let you go, you know?
?”
"Why?" Mengmeng had a confused expression on her face. Her innocent little mind couldn't figure out what the connection was.
She said: "If my brother doesn't touch Xiaobai, I won't let Xiaobai bite him."
Cheng Xiaolin taught her some more, only to realize that Mengmeng seemed to be very protective of her 'things', and it seemed difficult to change his mind in a short time.
Cheng Xiaolin kept reasoning with her daughter for the rest of the way. Her mouth was dry and she felt a little tired.
During the remaining half of the journey, Cheng Xiaolin felt inexplicably that the distance was too far, and she almost went crazy. Her husband, Cao Shujie, also drove to the door of her house.
Cao Shujie was about to get out of the car, but then he closed the door again.
He told Cheng Xiaolin, who was in the back seat, to put on thick clothes and a hat for Mengmeng, then opened the door and got out of the car again, and opened the back door for his wife.
A gust of cold wind entered the car along the open door, causing Cheng Xiaolin to shrink back and hug Mengmeng tighter.
"Why is it so cold now?" Cheng Xiaolin muttered.
I didn't feel it in the car just now, but as soon as I got out, I felt that the temperature had dropped several degrees abnormally.
Cao Shujie looked up at the sky and said, "Honey, look, things have changed a bit."
When Cheng Xiaolin heard what her husband said, she also looked up at the sky. The sky was indeed not pretty.
"The weather forecast two days ago said there would be snow in the near future. It won't rain today, right?" Cheng Xiaolin felt speechless.
She really doesn't want it to snow today. Her mother hasn't installed a radiator in her house yet. She still uses the most primitive stove to heat up the room, which is a heating method that raises the temperature in the room. But this configuration is only available in the master bedroom. If it snows, the temperature will rise.
It will continue to fall. If it falls too hard, they will not be able to go back. It will be uncomfortable to think about the feeling at night.
Cao Shujie also thought of this, and he even took the initiative to say: "Honey, is there anyone who installs a radiator here? If not, I'll pay for it for my parents to install it."
"Besides, I really don't know where it is, and my parents won't let you pay for it," Cheng Xiaolin said.
"Mom, little puppy." Mengmeng hadn't forgotten the little pug yet and asked her mother to help pick it out.
"Woof woof, woof woof." Xiaobai, the pug, suddenly saw a strange environment and barked several times subconsciously.
When he saw Mengmeng, he became quiet again.
Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were surprised when they saw this scene.
"Husband, this little pug is quite smart. It seems to know Mengmeng." Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie nodded: "I discovered this two days ago. This puppy is indeed quite smart, and the ones in the family will be lovable."
"Does this count as bullshit? Hahahahaha." Cheng Xiaolin couldn't help but burst into laughter.
While the couple was talking, Cao Shujie opened the trunk and was about to take things home. At this moment, the closed door of his mother-in-law's house opened from the inside.
Mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan appeared at the gate holding her grandson Cheng Tiandong's little hand. After seeing them, she quickly led her grandson this way.
Walking up to Cao Shujie and the others, Li Xiaojuan asked habitually: "Shujie, are you having a smooth journey?"
Cao Shujie smiled and nodded and said, "Mom, it's not bad. There aren't many cars on the road."
"Mom, it's so cold outside, why did you bring Dongdong out?" Cheng Xiaolin said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Xiaolin heard her nephew cough.
The cough was rapid and severe, and her face turned red after a cough. Cheng Xiaolin raised her eyebrows: "Mom, Dongdong has a cold?"
"Well, I went out to play two days ago. He didn't wear enough clothes. He had a cough and a runny nose. It's nothing serious. I'm giving him medicine. Don't worry, it's fine." Li Xiaojuan said.
Cheng Xiaolin felt very complicated from her own perspective.
Especially among children, the cold is the most easily transmitted disease, and everyone's physical condition after infection is different, some are mild and some are severe, but Mengmeng is the kind of person who suffers from lung disease as soon as she coughs. Treatment
It's very troublesome to get up, children suffer, and adults suffer as well.
She also felt that she was a little careless this time. When she called his mother before coming, she forgot to ask about it.
Seeing that his wife's expression was not so good, Cao Shujie immediately guessed what his wife was thinking. He turned his back to his mother-in-law and shook his head and waved to his wife, signaling her not to say more.
Cheng Xiaolin thought that since they were all here, they could never go back. The best way was to keep their cousins farther away later.
But Cheng Xiaolin forgot that this was the most difficult thing. Who cares about children?
"Woof woof, woof..."
The little pug was held by Mengmeng on a leash and rubbed against her legs. It started barking when it saw a stranger.
The barking of the pug immediately attracted the attention of Mengmeng and her little cousin Cheng Tiandong.
Even Li Xiaojuan asked curiously: "Linlin, where did the puppy come from?"
"Mom, it was Shujie who got it for Mengmeng. Mengmeng likes this puppy very much and has to let him take it with him whenever he goes out." Cheng Xiaolin said.
"Grandma, little dog." Cheng Tiandong, who had been silent since meeting Cao Shujie and the others, spoke for the first time.
"Hey, go and have a look. Don't touch your cousin's puppy." Li Xiaojuan also knew to tell her grandson not to touch the puppy to avoid being bitten.
But when Cheng Xiaolin heard what her mother said, she was just thinking of finding a reason to stop her. Her nephew Cheng Tiandong had already run to the puppy and stood opposite Mengmeng, looking at the white-haired pug at his cousin's feet.
"Cough cough, cough cough cough!" Dongdong coughed several times in succession. During the violent coughing, some spittle particles were coughed up by him and floated in the air.
Opposite him happened to be his little cousin Mengmeng.
Cheng Xiaolin couldn't think of anything else to look back on, so she quickly asked: "Mom, are there any masks at home?"
"If you don't have that, why do you need a mask?" Li Xiaojuan asked her daughter.
Cheng Xiaolin looked at her nephew Cheng Tiandong and said, "Didn't Dongdong have a cough? Especially children like them, colds are most easily contagious. Mengmeng can easily get bronchitis if he catches a cold."
When Li Xiaojuan heard this, she said, "I really don't have any masks at home. How about I go to the drugstore to buy some?"
"Mom, forget it, don't buy it. I still have ginger and brown sugar at home." Cheng Xiaolin asked.
Li Xiaojuan nodded: "Yes, you mean to make some brown sugar ginger water for her, right?"
"Well, that's right." Cheng Xiaolin looked at her nephew and said, "Give Dongdong a bowl too. It's effective in preventing and treating colds."
"Okay, come in quickly." Li Xiaojuan said.
Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Xiaolin, mother and daughter, held Dongdong and Mengmeng's hands as they walked home.
The little pug followed Mengmeng into the house, and Cao Shujie followed at the end with something.
He asked: "Mom, isn't my dad back? He's not at home?"
"He went to settle the bill, and his contractor said he would pay them for the first half of the year." This is what Li Xiaojuan said.
Hearing this statement, Cao Shujie was not surprised. Not many people who work in engineering these days can settle the bills quickly.
Many are owed one year.
The stove was burning in the room, and the red flames lit up, making the room extremely warm.
As soon as she entered the house, Cheng Xiaolin cut ginger slices and prepared to boil brown sugar ginger water.
Mengmeng and Dongdong and their cousins came together to look at the pug Xiaobai. Mengmeng said proudly: "Its name is Xiaobai, but it listens to me."
