After a busy weekend, Chen Qing finally had a chance to catch her breath.

Working overtime continuously made her sleep until midnight.

After waking up, He Yuan returned with Xiao Yu.

Xiaoyu came to attend the wedding of the short-legged tiger and also to visit her aunt. She hasn't been training much this month, and with her uncle tutoring her, her study pressure has been greatly reduced.

The reason there was no training was because the coach was too busy.

They are all paying attention to international developments.

Should China participate in the 1980 Olympics?

Due to external events, Xiaoyu temporarily suspended her training and focused on her studies.

Therefore, she didn't bring any homework home this time, so she went in with nothing to do!

She's definitely not afraid that her devilish uncle will teach her.

"Auntie, you've lost weight!"

"I've been a bit tired lately, I should gain weight in a while. By the way, how's your studying going?"

"It's great. Once I figured out how to operate it, I was able to keep up with the teacher's pace very easily. Because I've been dealing with machines for years and am good at English, my ranking has improved a bit. Oh, and I also shared the notebook with other classmates, and they all said it was very useful!"

Xiaoyu is a person who likes to share.

I feel happy when I can help others.

Chen Qingzhen exclaimed, "My Xiaoyu is so outstanding, hug!"

Xiao Yu hugged her aunt with eyes full of joy.

He Yuan knocked on the door: "Dinner's ready."

Chen Qing: "Here we are."

She washed up and ate lunch right away.

Comrade He Yuan was very generous when buying groceries; he bought a pork knuckle and a goose.

The goose was made into drunken goose.

The pork hock was stewed until it was very tender.

Chen Qing felt incredibly happy while eating: "How come your cooking skills are getting better and better?"

He Yuandao said, "I often cook for Xiaoyu. I ask her what she likes to eat, and she asks her classmates what delicious food is in their hometown. She tells me the recipes, and I cook for her."

The research institute he chose was very close to Tsinghua University.

So he tried to find ways to supplement his child's nutrition so that he wouldn't suffer during training.

Xiaoyu tugged at her cheek: "My face is a little chubby."

He Yuan boasted to Chen Qing, "It's all thanks to me."

Chen Qing laughed and said, "That's right, our comrade He Yuan is quite good at raising children."

He Yuan was happy and planned to send some more food to He Yuxiang later, so that he wouldn't just eat whatever he could find at the factory every day, as that wouldn't be good for his stomach.

Pingping and Youyou followed their father when he brought them food.

Xiaoyu was watching TV with her aunt when she secretly told her a secret: "Auntie, I found out someone is pursuing Uncle!"

"Then what?"

"Then I told my uncle, and he said that she hadn't done anything, and it was best to pretend that she didn't know anything to avoid embarrassing her."

"That's right. Everyone has their own preferences. If it's someone from the research institute, they might be targeting your uncle."

"Then I told my roommates about it, and they said someone had a crush on my uncle..."

"...Isn't the age difference too big?"

"No, no, she started school late and repeated a year of high school, so she's already twenty-eight."

"Either you handle it, or your uncle handles it; I won't handle it."

She was very tired.

When I have a little free time, all I want to do is lie on the sofa and watch TV.

I have no interest in dealing with any relationship issues.

Including one's own.

Xiaoyu nodded obediently: "I've already changed dorm rooms."

Chen Qing smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous?"

Xiaoyu frowned: "...Some people are starting to think that dating a married man is nothing, that true love is everything. I'm afraid my roommate will use my name to get close to my uncle, and then I'll become the big bad guy who ruins your relationship."

Chen Qing laughed and said, "Why are you thinking so much?"

Xiaoyu leaned against her and said, "Because I hope you can always be together."

Sensing her inexplicable anxiety, Chen Qing patted her hair and said, "Trust your auntie, she can handle any problem. Don't worry about the future. No matter what, I will take good care of you."

Xiaoyu hugged her aunt tightly, silently shedding tears: "People know that I don't have parents..."

Chen Qing was taken aback. "Is someone laughing at you?"

"No, it was an activity our whole class had where we chatted together and talked about our experiences from childhood to adulthood. I realized that I am the happiest person."

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been well-fed, well-drinked, and well-clothed.

Her aunt is supporting her, encouraging her, and loving her dearly.

None of her classmates who had parents were as good as her.

She was so happy that she felt a little apprehensive.

My mind started wandering into all sorts of random thoughts for no reason!

Only after seeing her aunt did she feel at peace and was able to speak her mind: "I feel like I've missed you so much."

Chen Qing held her and patted her gently.

I quietly stayed with her.

Xiaoyu nestled in her aunt's arms and cried for a while before asking, "Auntie, am I becoming very dramatic?"

"No, you're just homesick."

Chen Qing wiped away her tears.

Her daughter, Xiaoyu, is only fourteen years old and lives thousands of miles away from home. It's perfectly normal for her to be anxious and uneasy.

Xiaoyu needs an outlet.

Exercise was the perfect outlet for her pent-up emotions.

With the ongoing debate over the Olympics, her training has been suspended, leaving her with no outlet for her emotions, causing her deep-seated unease to surface.

Looking at her tear-stained face, Chen Qing's eyes softened: "Xiao Yu, we don't expect you to be perfect in everything. We're human, and it's normal for you to feel upset and want to get angry. We don't need to blame ourselves for it. Like you said, you're very happy and feel a little anxious. According to you, I have the four of you, plus your uncle, five full portions of happiness. Shouldn't I feel anxious? But in fact, I cherish you all. And your happiness is something you created. It started when you waited for me, cared for me, and loved me, and I learned to love you slowly. The reason our Xiao Yu is so happy is because she cherishes happiness and has the ability to create love. That's a wonderful thing."

Xiaoyu's eyes were blurry with tears: "Really?"

Chen Qing nodded firmly: "Yes!"

Xiaoyu hugged her aunt again: "Auntie, I love you the most, the most, the most."

Chen Qing smiled: "I know, I love you too."

Feeling secure, Xiaoyu's anxiety gradually dissipated, and she said, "I work as a tour guide in my spare time."

Chen Qing: "Hmm?"

Xiaoyu laughed and said, "Because there are many foreigners in the capital, and I'm very good at English, I organized everyone to be tour guides. I even wrote materials introducing our country's culture and scenery, had someone copy them many times, and partnered with several schools to let everyone earn some extra money. The main reason is that many students are from economically disadvantaged families. They live frugally, and after receiving the national university subsidy, they still have to send some back to their families. I wanted to find a way to help them. The reason I had my brother run an English tutoring class a while ago was for the same reason. Although I was the founder of this tour guide program, my materials and teaching were free. I didn't earn the most, but I received the highest tips, hehe, over a hundred yuan each time. I don't know why, so even though I've only been a tour guide a few times, I've already earned over a thousand yuan. I came back this morning and donated the money I earned to my brother for charity. I believe there will definitely be many, many happy children in the future."

Chen Qing was deeply moved; her Xiao Yu was a little angel!

"This is amazing! Ahhhh... My Xiaoyu is so amazing!"

Xiaoyu is happy~

She knew it.

Her aunt will praise her when she finds out. (End of Chapter)
