When Gu Qishen came to pick up his son to stay at home for the night on the weekend, Gu Huayang was very unwilling because he would not be able to hear Aunt Han's stories if he stayed at his father's house.
Looking at his son's reluctant expression, Gu Qishen smiled and said, "It seems this kid has already made this place his home."
After Gu Qishen took his son home on his bicycle, he washed his son's face and feet and then put him to bed.
Gu Huayang looked at his father and asked, "Dad, can you tell stories? Can you sing nursery rhymes?"
Gu Qishen was taken aback by his son's question and said, "What, do you want to hear a story?"
Gu Huayang nodded and said, "Aunt Han tells me stories every night. She also sings nursery rhymes to me. Dad, can I ask Aunt Han to be my mom?"
Gu Qishen felt a pang of guilt upon hearing his son's words.
The child lost his mother at a young age and spent little time with her, so he must feel very insecure. That's why he's always so quiet and lacks the liveliness of a typical child.
Moreover, he discovered that his son was very intelligent but also precocious, and his mind was much more complex than that of other three-year-olds.
He knew that his son's precociousness was caused by the current family environment, and he felt both heartache and guilt towards his son.
The changes in the son after he came to the He family were very obvious. He became more talkative, much more lively, and more willing to express his thoughts. This was a very gratifying change.
Otherwise, he was genuinely worried that his son might have some psychological issues. Fortunately, he sent his son to the He family.
Du Yuhan's love for her son was evident to him; otherwise, her son wouldn't be so dependent on her.
They were extremely grateful to the He family, Du Yuhan, and Gu Qishen.
He might grant his son's other wishes, but he would never agree to let Du Yuhan be his son's mother.
He had seen how much the He family valued Du Yuhan, and Du Yuhan was indeed an outstanding girl.
The man who marries her in the future will be very happy. But I am no longer worthy of that. How could the He family allow Du Yuhan to marry me?
Not only was she more than ten years older than Du Yuhan, but she had also been married before and had a child. The He family would never agree to Du Yuhan becoming someone else's stepmother.
Gu Qishen didn't know what to feel when he thought of Du Yuhan. He hadn't felt anything when he first met Du Yuhan, but the more time he spent with her, the more attracted he became to her.
His heart, which had never been stirred before, was now in turmoil because of Du Yuhan. But he knew that it would be extremely difficult, almost impossible, to be with Du Yuhan.
Suppressing his emotions, he earnestly told his son, "Huayang, you can think of Aunt Han as your mother in your heart, but you can't tell anyone except Dad. Because your Aunt Han is still a little girl and can't be anyone's mother yet. Later, when your Aunt Han gets married, Dad can let you recognize Aunt Han as your godmother."
Gu Huayang said, "Dad, if Aunt Han marries you, she can be my mom, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qishen was startled and asked, "You heard about it?"
Gu Huayang replied, "It was my own idea. Aren't all the other kids in the compound's mothers married to their fathers?"
Gu Qishen patted his son's head and said, "Huayang, Dad has already been married before, and I can't marry your Aunt Han anymore. You're still young, but you'll understand what Dad is saying today when you grow up."
But remember, you must never tell anyone these things. If you have any thoughts or questions, you can tell Daddy, and Daddy will answer them for you. Okay, lie down, Daddy will tell you a story.
Seeing that his son didn't ask any more questions and obediently lay down, Gu Qishen breathed a huge sigh of relief. If his son had continued to ask him why he couldn't marry Du Yuhan, he really wouldn't have known how to explain it to him.
Even though my son is more mature than other children, it's still too complicated for a young child.
I hugged my son and told him a story I had heard when I was a child, and it took a lot of effort to finally coax him to sleep.
Looking at his son Tian Tian's sleeping face, Gu Qishen felt a pang of sadness. He knew his son longed for a mother. But finding a woman who truly cared for his son was easier said than done.
If he remarries and has another child, what will become of Huayang? People are selfish. Will his remarried woman, who will have her own child, still treat Huayang well?
He knew many examples of stepmothers mistreating their stepchildren, which shattered his idea of finding a stepmother for his son.
Moreover, he had never met a woman he liked until Du Yuhan appeared.
Having known Du Yuhan for so long, he was very certain that if Du Yuhan married him, she would love Huayang as much as ever, even if she had her own children in the future.
If Du Yuhan weren't the youngest daughter of the He family, he could still strive for his own happiness and for his son to receive maternal love. But now, he truly dared not act. He was afraid of disrupting the current peace and harmony.
Anyway, Du Yuhan is still young, and he may still have opportunities in the future.
Today, Gu Huayang and his father went home to stay, giving Du Yuhan complete freedom.
In the past, when Gu Huayang was around, she would only enter the space after Gu Huayang fell asleep. Today, she entered the space after returning to her room.
The space was still filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers. Because of the several additional mountains, the space in this life was much larger than in the previous life, and in addition to the animals raised on the ranch, there were also some animals on the mountains.
These animals can also be found in the space management system, which makes it convenient for Du Yuhan to manage them.
Du Yuhan currently raises chickens and rabbits in the space's ranch. The chickens lay eggs and provide meat. The rabbits are raised solely for meat.
They raised pigs, cattle, sheep, and even deer. All of this was for meat.
She raises dairy cows purely for milk production, which can be processed into milk powder and other dairy products. These are all very nutritious.
Besides feeding her nephew infant formula, Du Yuhan also frequently brings her parents this milk powder produced in her own space, which is very green and healthy.
She's not in a hurry to earn gold coins or upgrade anymore, so the animals she raises on the ranch are the ones she can use right now. The fields are mostly planted with grains.
As for herbs and various fruit trees, several mountains are more than enough.
The functions of each part of the space were pre-set and she couldn't change them at will, so there were very few places suitable for growing food, and she made use of almost all of them. Even so, the food shortage was still very large.
The food produced in my own space can help one village, Laohewan, but it's unlikely to help many more people.
She opened the space's control system again to harvest and store the items she needed in the warehouse. Suddenly, she noticed a new icon on the system interface—an icon that identified her as a friend.
