"Well, don't cry. You are our most beloved daughter, and we will always be your warmest haven." Tang's father reached out and stroked Tang Xin's head, and suddenly changed the subject, "Ha, so now you don't even have to acknowledge your goddaughter. You just have to call me dad, right?"

"It seems so." Mother Tang nodded.

"Um..." I agreed in a mosquito-like voice, but I had no experience in this situation. I could only lower my head with a red face, holding Tang Xin's hand, at a loss.

"By the way, who of you two confessed your love to whom first?" Mother Tang's gossipy spirit was ignited.

"It's me~" Tang Xin grinned embarrassedly.

"Sure enough, you see, you've brought harm to others, right?" Mother Tang sighed and said helplessly.

"This can't be called a disaster!!"

Chapter 75: Care

"So what are you going to do next?" asked Tang's mother.

"Next?" Tang Xin didn't understand.

"Of course, you have to make arrangements for the future!" Mother Tang continued.

"Your mother always asks riddles. She just wants to know when you two will have your wedding?" Tang's father explained.

"Eh? Marriage or something..." I was shocked and didn't know how to answer. To be honest, I had never considered this aspect of the arrangement. Because before this, I was preparing for how to negotiate with Tang Xin's parents.

"Get...get married..." Tang Xin also stuttered, "Dad, why are you so anxious? We haven't even graduated from college yet!"

"What does it matter? You can get married abroad. I also want to see my daughter's wedding earlier!" Tang's father waved his hand to indicate that it was no big deal, and stuffed a few more bites of food into his mouth. It seemed that the food on the table really suited his appetite.

"Then let's discuss it later." Tang Xin blushed and lowered her head to eat.

"Well, it has to be done as soon as possible. Dad can't wait any longer." Mr. Tang laughed.

……

After dinner, it was already around seven in the evening. The snowstorm outside began to show its true power, rustling in the wind.

I took a few photos of the house and the outside and posted them in the family group, and said hello to my family. However, no one replied to me, maybe they were still sleeping?

"Xiao Meng!" Tang Xin pounced on me while I was sitting on the sofa, and almost squeezed out my dinner.

"Ouch, my belly." I moved her off me and landed in the next position, like a big puppy.

"Hey." Tang Xin scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "Did I hurt you?"

"Yeah, but it's okay. Don't be so sudden next time."

"I didn't expect it to be so smooth. I also didn't expect that mom and dad already knew about it." Tang Xin's face still showed her excitement.

"Yes, it's such a rare thing to have open-minded parents like your parents." I smiled.

"I think it's Xiaomeng's credit~" Tang Xin suddenly said solemnly.

"Me?" I glanced at the two people who were still washing dishes in the kitchen, feeling a little suspicious.

"Well... do you remember when I had conflicts with my parents when I was a kid? Many times you would come to comfort me and talk to my parents."

"Oh... it happened a long time ago." I seem to remember that it happened, but I can't remember it clearly. I even forgot what I said.

"Xiao Meng taught me to understand my parents, and helped my parents understand my heart. You are at least half responsible for the disappearance of the estrangement between our family members."

"Ha, is it that exaggerated?" I touched the back of my head and felt a little embarrassed.

"Yes~ Xiaomeng is the girl with such magical powers!" Tang Xin nodded seriously.

"You're praising me to the sky." But I have to say, I felt very happy when I heard it, especially when such words came from my lover's mouth.

At this moment, Tang's father and mother suddenly opened the kitchen door and walked out with serious faces. Tang's mother also hurriedly helped Tang's father take off the sleeves he wore when washing dishes.

"What's wrong? Dad?" Tang Xin naturally saw what happened.

"Children, I'm really sorry." Mr. Tang looked at us with embarrassment, "I may not be able to accompany you tonight."

"Your father's good friend had an accident and is being treated in the hospital...your father has to rush over to see him." Mother Tang also had a worried look on her face and looked a little anxious.

"Dad's good friend?" Tang Xin asked.

"Rather than saying he's a good friend, it's better to say he's your father's savior." Father Tang picked up the coat hanging on the hanger and put it on.

After saying that, Mr. Tang pushed open the door of the entrance hall, and a strong cold wind mixed with white snowflakes rushed in.

"Dad, it's snowing so heavily outside. It's very dangerous to drive on the road!" Tang Xin couldn't help but shout out.

"It's okay. Dad drives very carefully. Don't worry, I will let you know I'm safe when we get to the hospital."

"Dad, I'll go with you." I don't know when Tang's mother appeared behind us wearing a down jacket.

"You stay at home and take care of the children!" Tang's father was a little surprised.

"The child is already that old, how can I take care of him? I am more worried that it is not safe for you to go out alone at night."

"Dad, please let my mom go with us." Tang Xin grabbed my hand and said, "It's fine for the two of us to be at home."

Father Tang didn't say much when he saw this. He waited for Mother Tang to get in the car, started the car and drove away in the snow. We returned home, locked the door, and sat back on the sofa in the living room.

"It's snowing so heavily, and you still want to go out? I'm so worried." Tang Xin's face did not look good, and her worry was not unreasonable.

I feel the same way. Thinking about how they were taken away by natural disasters, I can't calm down from the unrest in my heart.

"It's okay. Your father's car should be safe to drive in the snow, and it's bulletproof so no accidents will happen." I comforted her.

"Eh? Xiao Meng, how do you know all this? I have no idea."

"When I see FBIs in movies, their favorite car is the one your dad drove. When your dad opened the door, I saw that the glass was about seven or eight centimeters thick." I comforted him, "Your dad must have had some experience to buy a car like this."

"Um…"

About half an hour later, Tang Xin's phone rang. It was a video call from her mother.

"Mom!" Tang Xin couldn't wait to click the answer button.

The white background of the hospital in the video made us both breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xin'er, have you stayed at home well with Li Xiaomeng?" Mother Tang looked a little tired, but she recovered a lot when she saw the children's faces.

"Yes! We are fine." Tang Xin nodded hard.

"Well, your father and I got to the hospital safely, but your uncle is not in good condition. He was shot four times and is being treated. The doctor said the situation is not optimistic."

"Uncle?" Tang Xin didn't know him.

"Your Uncle Keller was a patrolman when your dad first came to the United States. At that time, your dad was on his way home from shopping at the supermarket when he encountered a robber at gunpoint. Your uncle happened to be patrolling nearby and saw the robbery. He saved your dad's life." Tang's mother narrated, "Later, your dad became good friends with him and they kept in touch with each other. Do you remember the Lego toys you got when you were a child? They were given to you by him."

"Tang Xin, lock the doors and windows at home. Your parents may come back very late at night. You are older than Xiaomeng, so you have to learn to take care of her, okay?" Tang's father suddenly appeared in the picture, his eyes a little red.

"Yes, I will." Tang Xin nodded seriously.

Chapter 76 Xia He

Maybe it was because of worry, or maybe it was because of the time difference. It was only six o'clock in the morning when Tang Xin and I woke up. Tang Xin's parents hadn't come home all night, so after washing up, Tang Xin couldn't wait to call them.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened to Mr. and Mrs. Tang. They are just still waiting in the hospital.

"Mom, didn't you get any rest?" Tang Xin asked distressedly.

"He closed his eyes for a while, and so did your dad." Mother Tang sounded a little tired on the other end of the phone.

"How is Uncle Keller?" Tang Xin asked.

"The operation seemed to go smoothly, and a new surgeon was hired. His colleagues and family were all around him, and everyone was very anxious." Mother Tang looked around and saw that there were indeed quite a few uniformed police officers.

"Mom, are we coming over to see it?"

"Why are you coming here? There's a lot of snow outside, right? It's too inconvenient to come here." Tang's father replied.

"Oh…"

"We should be back soon. If you have nothing to do, how about shoveling the snow in front of the garage at the door of your house? Otherwise, your dad won't be able to drive his car in with such thick snow." Tang's mother suggested.

"Okay, don't worry, Auntie. We will definitely complete the task." I answered first.

"I feel relieved as long as Xiaomeng is here!" Mother Tang smiled after a long time.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xin's worries were obviously reduced, and the "川" on her forehead was also untied. However, she was in a dilemma when she looked at the white snow outside the window: "Xiao Meng, have you swept the snow?"

"No!" I shook my head.

"Then where do you get the confidence to clean your front door?"

"You'll know after you try it. Sweeping snow shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

When I opened the door, the world in front of me was truly covered in ice and snow. Compared with the snow in our hometown in the south, the snow in North America in the cold winter is really covered in ice. The roads, trees, and roofs were all white. You could hardly find any other colors except white. It was like you had strayed into a black and white world. It was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

"Wow, the snow must be about 10 centimeters thick, right?" Tang Xin stepped out first in her boots, and the snow squeaked under her feet. Fortunately, the sky had cleared up, but the sunlight was not warm at all.

"Be careful, don't walk too fast, it would be bad if you fall." Seeing that she was walking so fast, I was a little worried, so I reminded her.

"I can't sweep it with a broom." Tang Xin tried to sweep the snow with a small broom from home, but it obviously didn't work.

"We still need a shovel. Let's go to the garage and see if there is a shovel?" I said, opening the electric rolling door.

The clean and tidy garage slowly appeared in front of us. A series of hardware tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers were hung on the wall of the garage, a bicycle was parked on one side, and two shovels, one large and one small, were placed on the other side.

I picked up the big shovel and handed the smaller one to Tang Xin.

Tang Xin didn't seem very satisfied with my actions. She stared at the thing in my hand and said, "Why give me this mini one? I want the one in your hand."

"First come, first served." I chuckled and ran to the snow and used a shovel.

As I shoveled a shovel into the snow, I thought to myself, this thing requires much more strength than I thought. I raised the shovel with all my strength, and my face was red and I was breathing heavily. The snow was much heavier than I thought.

Tang Xin covered her mouth and smiled as she came to my side, handing me the small shovel: "Just switch with me, you are too weak."

I had no choice but to exchange tools with Tang Xin and slowly shoveled the snow. However, after changing to a smaller tool, my efficiency did improve. I couldn't shovel with one shovel before, but now I can do it in several times, which has increased my speed. On the other hand, Tang Xin had already started to work in a very professional manner, and her speed was no slower than mine.

After working for half an hour, I felt hungry, so I went in to make fried rice for Tang Xin and me. After eating, we continued to work for about another half an hour, and finally the snow on the road leading to the road in front of the garage door was cleared by the two of us. We didn't need to worry about the snow on the road, because a snowplow passed by the door a few minutes ago and cleared the road.

Coincidentally, just as Tang Xin and I put down the shovels and were about to close the door, Tang's father's car drove in.

"Mom and Dad?" Tang Xin was stunned for a moment, but reacted quickly and ran to the car door impatiently to welcome her family back.
