Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Fan Jinyou is still a filial son. He couldn't resist his mother and had to choose to break up with Chen Xueru. Chen Xueru is a strong woman who dominates the business world, but she has never felt so aggrieved.

When it comes to throwing tantrums, she can't compare to Fan's mother because she doesn't let go of her status. Even if Fan's mother wants to fight her, she can't do it. Because she is still young and has a lot of time left, she cherishes her life very much, so she naturally doesn't dare to fight with Fan's mother. Her affair with Fan Jinyou just ended like this.

After hearing about this farce, Xu Huizhen was stunned for a moment. It seems that her advice did not work at all. Chen Xueru is really deeply in love with Fan Jinyou! This should be what people in later generations call love brain. It is said that when a woman is in love, her IQ is zero. In her eyes, the other party is flawless, and the shortcomings are also advantages. The advantages are even more advantages. Only after getting married and experiencing the hardships of life, did she realize how stupid she was at that time.

As someone who has been through this, I have a deep understanding of this. I wonder if you all think it is right?

During this period, Xu Huizhen had already prepared to go to Xujiawan. This time, she wanted to take Han Qingqiu with her. Her own strength was not enough. She told Han Qingqiu about her idea, and Han Qingqiu supported her idea. The two decided to go on this trip to collect straw weaving samples and to find straw weaving technicians.

He Jiankun was still breastfeeding, so he had to be taken care of. Xu Jingli had to stay at home and let Hu Yingzi take care of him. Xu Huizhen felt a little guilty towards Xu Jingli. Since she had Kunkun, she had focused her main energy on him and seemed to have neglected Jingli. Jingli spent most of her time with Yingzi. During the day, Hu Yingzi took her to kindergarten, and at night, she slept with Yingzi.

Children of this era were raised roughly, not as carefully as the only children of later generations. There was nothing that could be done about it. There were four, five, or six children in a family, and the hometown couldn't take care of them all. It was normal for the older one to take care of the younger one, or for one to be carried on the shoulder or held in the hand. The main theme was free growth.

It is said that if there are many children in a family, even the family members would not notice if one of them did not go home to sleep. But Xu Jingli is different. She is not He Yuzhu's biological daughter. She will know this fact sooner or later when she grows up. She does not want to create a gap between mother and daughter because of her neglect.

So she patiently explained to Li'er, "Li'er, your brother is still young and still breastfeeding. He can't leave without mom. Mom is taking your brother with her this time. Can you stay at home with your aunt? I will bring a gift for Li'er when I come back."

Li'er pouted, not very happy, but very sensible, and said: "When my brother grows up, Mommy will take Li'er out to travel, and not my brother."

Xu Huizhen nodded in agreement. Lier stretched out her little finger and made a pinky promise with her mother, saying in a baby voice, "Pink, I'll never change my mind for a hundred years!"

In this way, Xu Huizhen and Han Qingqiu finally boarded the train to Hebei Province. This time they bought a sleeper berth because they were traveling with their child and the environment in the sleeper berth was better.

As time went by, we said goodbye to the tranquility of autumn and welcomed the bleak early winter. The weather was getting colder and the scenery outside the train was not very attractive. The two of them chatted with Kun Kun while teasing him.

Han Qingqiu hesitated for a long time and said tentatively: "Huizhen, I have an idea. Let me tell you about it. If you think it is inappropriate, just pretend I didn't say it."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "We are friends, just say it if you have something to say."

Han Qingqiu mustered up his courage and said, "You see, I am alone, childless. Sometimes, in the dead of night, I really feel lonely and bored. Fortunately, you helped me find my current job, which can help me pass the time. However, I will be 50 years old next year and should retire. I want to adopt a child, firstly to keep me company, and secondly to take care of me in my old age."

Xu Huizhen: "That's a good idea! I agree with your idea."

Han Qingqiu: "You don't have an elderly person at home to help you take care of your child, and you are so busy every day. Now you have Yingzi to help you take care of Li'er. If Yingzi gets married next year, you will be even busier. I like Li'er very much. This child is very smart. How about I take her in as my granddaughter?"

Han Qingqiu had a good impression of Xu Huizhen after such a long time of interaction, and knew that she was a shrewd and wise woman. Rather than adopting Lier, it would be better to say that she wanted to rely on Xu Huizhen. With Xu Huizhen as a backing, she would have no worries for the rest of her life.

Xu Huizhen didn't expect Han Qingqiu to have such an idea. She thought for a moment and replied, "I am not worried about Li'er following you. Because you, Aunt Han, come from a scholarly family, are well-educated and knowledgeable. The child you raise will definitely be excellent, there is no doubt about that. The only thing I am worried about is that Li'er is not Zhuzi's biological child. Will Li'er blame me and Zhuzi for not liking her and giving her to you in the future?"

In the original plot, after Xu Jingli learned about her life experience, she couldn't accept it for a while, and she made a big fuss and even ran away from home. It can be seen that this is a sensitive child.

Han Qingqiu said quickly, "It's not a gift to me. Both your home and my home are hers. I've been to your home often in the past two years, and I feel that the atmosphere in your home is particularly homely. I long for that kind of happy life, but I'm not destined to have that. I thought, after I retire next year, you go to work during the day, and I help you take care of the children. With this friendship, you can take care of my old age when I'm old. Don't worry about the financial aspect, I have saved some money, which is enough for my old age, so you don't need to subsidize me."

Xu Huizhen: "I know that. In fact, I am not short of money. You can tell by the meals my family usually eats. There is a fate between people. Some people, even if they are related to me by blood, I regard them as enemies. Some people have no relatives or friends with me, but I regard them as relatives! For example, my sister Xu Huizhi, she hurt me, and I can't just laugh it off. I don't want to see her for the rest of my life. Another example is Cai Quanwu, she helped me when I was in the most difficult time, and I will remember this for the rest of my life. You see, he went from a big guy to the manager of the tavern today, and I helped him every step of the way. For example, Aunt Han, we can be said to have no relationship at all, but we became friends of different ages by accident. So I believe in empathy. Feelings are mutual, don't you think?"

Han Qingqiu said, "Yes, you are right. I didn't expect that Huizhen, at such a young age, could see things so clearly. I was thinking that my house would have to be left to the government after I die, so why not leave it to you and Zhuzi? As long as you take care of me in my old age and don't let me be left alone, that's all."

Han Qingqiu's proposal can be said to be mutually beneficial, and Xu Huizhen can accept it. It is really inconvenient for her to have no elderly person at home. Hu Yingzi said that next year, Xu Jianshe will reach the marriageable age and will get married. After marriage, he will have his own children and his own family. By then, he will not be able to take care of his own family, so don't expect to help Xu Huizhen.
