Chapter 376 The Son and Grandson Who Suddenly Appeared
Wang Qiuping saw Ning Shenghe talking nonsense in front of his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, and slapped him in anger.
As a result, Ning Shenghe immediately found the evidence and raised his hand to grab her hand before she could withdraw it, "Look, look, didn't we catch them in the act?
I was abused in front of you, but you don’t know how pitiful I am behind your back.”
He made an exaggerated accusation.
Wang Qiuping angrily took his hand back and was about to raise it to hit him again.
Ning Shenghe immediately put on a flattering smile, "Old lady, I was wrong."
Xia Songlan looked at the old couple laughing and laughed along.
Ning Jingmo nudged Xia Songlan with his elbow and whispered in her ear, "Look...my dad is also afraid of his wife, just as pitiful as me.
I was also abused today.”
Xia Songlan was too lazy to pay attention to him and stepped on him under the table.
Ning Jingmo was about to reach out to pat her leg when Xia Songlan glared at him.
The two people's little actions did not attract the attention of other people at the table, and they had a pleasant meal together.
Since the old couple returned home, there has been a constant stream of guests visiting the house, and the house is bustling all day long.
Some of their old comrades and subordinates came to visit them before the New Year and bought them many New Year's goods.
After the New Year, they come to pay New Year's greetings and visit.
My home is always bustling with activity, and I swept away the cold and lonely atmosphere before.
As the year passed, Ning Jingmo and Xia Songlan became busier at work and were unable to help with anything at home.
Xia Songlan suggested hiring a nanny.
Ning Jingmo also agreed.
Wang Qiuping objected, "Although we are retired, we are still young and not too old to be unable to move.
I am fully capable of taking care of myself and I can take care of you as well.
Besides, if you don’t want to cook, you can just go to the restaurant and take the food back.
Cleaning can be considered as exercise.
There are only a few rooms and a yard, and your father did it all by himself.
You can rest assured. "
Ning Shenghe also disagreed, "I have already told your mother that after we come back, our main task is to take good care of you.
Since you married into our family, you have never enjoyed a single day of happiness, and our two children have not grown up with us.
We just want to come back to take care of you and do our best as parents and grandparents.
If you hire a nanny to take care of us, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?"
Seeing that she couldn't convince the two elderly people, Xia Songlan could only try to adjust her shifts and come back early to help them with the housework.
At first, Wang Qiuping didn't notice anything wrong, but later he obviously noticed that Xia Songlan's mental state was not good.
In the end, it was Ning Jingmo who spoke the truth.
Wang Qiuping was unhappy, "Songlan, mom wants to criticize you.
If mom and dad's return adds burden to you, we won't go home.
If you continue to hurt yourself taking care of us, we will just move out.
I heard from Lao Liu next door that there is a nursing home near us, where a group of old people get together, talking and laughing, which is also very beautiful. "
Xia Songlan blushed when Wang Qiuping said that. "Mom, I was wrong. I will continue to work normally and I will leave the house to you."
"Well, that's more like it."
From that day on, Xia Songlan returned to work as normal.
Ning Jingmo is much busier than before. He has been transferred from the division headquarters to the military sub-district and has made a lot of progress again.
The old couple adapted well.
When I get up in the morning, I not only go for a walk outside, but also find out where the morning market is and buy fresh vegetables and meat there.
On the way back, I could go to the restaurant and bring back breakfast, which would not affect Xia Songlan and the others' meal at all.
Occasionally, I would show off my cooking skills and cook a big meal for my grandchildren at noon.
I usually don’t cook at night. Ning Shenghe always goes to the restaurant to pack up the food and brings it back.
After eating at the restaurant for a while, Ning Shenghe would occasionally give the restaurant some suggestions.
Every time he arrived at a restaurant, the service staff inside would be extra vigilant and careful, fearing that something might not be done well.
Time flies and it is summer.
After dinner, Wang Qiuping and Ning Shenghe always liked to take a walk in the compound and would come back at nine o'clock at the latest.
They usually go to bed at 9:30 p.m.
But it was almost ten o'clock that day and the two had not yet entered the house.
Xia Songlan couldn't sit still anymore, she pushed Ning Jingmo who was reading a book and said, "Jingmo, go look for him in the yard.
Mom and Dad, why haven't you come back yet? "
"No, they may have met an old comrade and were so excited that they forgot to order."
Seeing that Ning Jingmo didn't move, Xia Songlan simply went downstairs to look for him.
Ning Jingmo put down the book helplessly and said, "I'm really worried about you. I was just worried that the two children would be hungry after school.
Now I am starting to worry that if the old couple doesn’t come back, something might happen.
Can't you just stop for a moment?"
He muttered to himself and followed Xia Songlan downstairs.
Although he was muttering to himself, his steps were not slow and he caught up with Xia Songlan in just three or two steps.
Don't forget to take a flashlight with you when you go out.
Xia Songlan went to several places that the old couple usually liked to go.
After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find it.
In the end, I went to almost all the places in the compound where people could relax and cool off, but I didn't see the old couple.
It's already past half past ten.
Ning Jingmo was also a little anxious.
I was in a hurry when I went out just now and left my phone at home. "Songlan, please look for it nearby. I'll go home and make a call."
Xia Songlan nodded, and just as the two were about to separate, four people came over from the opposite direction.
Wang Qiuping walked in front, and Ning Shenghe was one step behind her.
There were two strangers following behind Ning Shenghe, standing on his left and right.
The couple hurried over to greet them.
Xia Songlan held Wang Qiuping's hand and said, "Mom, it's so late, where have you and Dad been?"
Wang Qiuping's face was not good, but when he heard Xia Songlan's question, he calmed down a little, "Don't ask anymore, let's talk about it when we get home."
Ning Jingmo also noticed something unusual about his parents. He didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on the two strangers.
Under the dim street lights, the faces of the two people were not very clear, and their restraint was obvious.
Ning Shenghe looked sad. He waved at Ning Jingmo and pointed weakly in the direction of home.
Ning Jingmo understood what he meant and didn't ask any questions, just led the way.
Soon, several people returned home.
Wang Qiuping stormed into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
Ning Shenghe closed his eyes tightly and sat on the sofa with his head drooped.
The two men stood at the door stiffly.
Xia Songlan looked at them.
A man in his 40s, with ordinary looks and clothes, the kind of person who would be invisible in a crowd at first glance.
The other one was a young man about 20 years old, and his face was slightly similar to the middle-aged man about 50 years old.
Seeing that Ning Shenghe and Ning Jingmo were silent, she did not dare to take the initiative to give up her seat to them.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally went upstairs alone.
Although people have gone upstairs, the attention is still on the downstairs.
After about half an hour, I heard the sound of the courtyard door being opened and closed.
After an hour or so, the door was opened and closed again.
Another half an hour passed before Ning Jingmo went upstairs.
He saw that Xia Songlan was still awake, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Isn't there an early shift tomorrow?"
"You went out just now? Where are those two people? Who are they?"
"I sent them to the guesthouse in the compound. They should be my father's son and grandson."
Ning Jingmo's words were like a thunderclap, blowing away all the sleepiness of Xia Songlan.
"What? Aren't you my only son? How come I suddenly have a son and a grandson?
I don’t think they look like their dad.”
Ning Jingmo shook his head, "I don't know the details, but Dad just told me that he was the one who let them down.
Let me take good care of them.”
