Then I heard Tang Xinxin ask from the other end: "What about you? That young man you met the other day, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious, but I can't be as quick as you. He's especially busy at the end of the year, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. Besides, his family is from D City, and he has to go back to visit his parents for the New Year. So don't even think about me bringing him back this year."
"You're not from City A? Does that mean you're in a long-distance relationship? What will you do in the future? Will you marry someone from City D?"
"No, we already agreed that he would develop his career in City A."
"Think it through. Long-distance relationships are definitely not going to work. If two people are always apart, problems will arise sooner or later."
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't want to say more, and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It's hard to explain over the phone, let's talk about it when you get home. I'm going downstairs to eat, bye."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, opened the door, and rushed downstairs.
Tang's mother had already set out dinner. Tang Xiaoxiao was very particular about cooking, and the plating was quite exquisite. Each dish was adorned with fresh flowers or small carvings made of carrots, which were very fitting for the occasion. After all, fresh flowers were never in short supply at her place. The six simple home-style dishes looked very tempting after being carefully plated.
The four of them took their seats, and Xiao Xiao and Qi Qi swung their big tails and jumped onto two chairs, obediently squatting half-squatting next to a small table. Tang Xiaoxiao added a variety of cooked meats and dried fish to their food bowls, and the four of them and the two cats began to eat.
As for the German Shepherd puppy, it couldn't move due to a leg injury and had to stay in its den on the third floor to eat alone.
Everyone enjoyed the meal. Afterwards, Tang's father leaned back on the sofa picking his teeth, and Tang Xiaoxiao brewed him a pot of fragrant tea. The tea trees were planted in her space, and two had already been transplanted to the glass greenhouse in the yard to avoid being seen. She had also personally prepared the tea in her space, and although her technique was still a bit rusty since she was learning on the spot, the brewed tea still tasted quite good.
Tang's father liked it very much.
Enjoying the tea his daughter had made, Mr. Tang hummed a little tune. Mrs. Tang, unable to sit still, went into the bedroom that Tang Xiaoxiao had reserved for the elderly couple to prepare the bed.
All the bedding was brand new, washed and dried, and there was nothing to tidy up. Tang's mother was used to doing housework at home, so she was a little unaccustomed to having nothing to do.
There's a dishwasher for washing dishes and a robot vacuum cleaner for cleaning. Tang Xiaoxiao also hired two housekeepers to come and clean the entire house every week. Tang's mother was originally against this, saying that she could come and help with the cleaning herself. But Tang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to use them. Her villa has four floors, and just wiping the dust from top to bottom would take several hours. She had just celebrated her mother's 60th birthday in the summer, and even if the elderly couple were in good health, they couldn't handle such a heavy workload.
Tang's mother went to the bedroom, and Tang Xiaoxiao also took a cup of fruit tea and sat on the other side of the sofa, slowly sipping it. Just as she was watching Xuanxuan tease Xiaoxiao and Qiqi fighting over the same ball of yarn, Tang's father's phone rang.
Tang's father picked up the phone, his expression changed slightly after seeing the incoming call, and then he answered it.
After saying something on the other end, Tang's father hummed twice, then remained silent for a long time before finally hanging up without saying a word.
Tang Xiaoxiao, noticing something was wrong, cautiously asked, "What's wrong? Who called?"
"Your second uncle." Tang's father only said three words, and then fell silent.
