Looking at the very beautiful and elegant young girl in front of her, who didn't seem like a country person at all, Qin Xiumei said, "Xiao He, you don't look like a country person. You're not a teacher sent to the countryside, are you?"
Du Yuhan said, "I'm not a teacher; I'm a village doctor in the countryside."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiumei exclaimed, "Oh, you're a doctor? That's impressive! And why did you buy some books?"
Du Yuhan knew that Sister Qin was worried and wanted to find out the details, so she explained, "You know that there aren't many educated people in the countryside. I was asked by the village secretary to buy some books, but the bookstore didn't have any, so I had to come here to try and find a solution. Luckily, you support our work. I might have to trouble you again in the future, Sister Qin. Next time I come, I'll bring you some local specialties from the countryside."
Qin Xiumei was even happier when she heard that she was going to bring her some local specialties. She said, "You're doing a good deed. It's also a way to make use of these waste materials. Just come over if you need anything in the future. As long as Sister Qin is here, I'll definitely make things convenient for you."
Du Yuhan smiled and said, "Then I'll thank Sister Qin in advance."
Qin Xiumei weighed the books for Du Yuhan, collected the money, and Du Yuhan left the scrap metal yard with a large stack of books. Once they were in a secluded spot, she stored all the books in her spatial storage.
Then Du Yuhan filled the empty basket and backpack, mostly with food.
This amount of food should last the family for a while.
She stopped riding her bicycle and instead pushed it, thinking about how to help the Jiang family as she walked.
She can't overact; she has to be natural. She'll be fine once she gets to know the Jiang family better.
When He Chenglin returned home for dinner that evening, he looked at Du Yuhan at the dinner table, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Seeing her father's expression, Du Yuhan knew something was wrong and said, "Dad, has something happened? Please tell me."
He Chenglin felt that his daughter would have to face this sooner or later, so he simply said, "Han Yi has come to City C first."
Du Yuhan was taken aback and asked, "Why did he come to City C? Is he here to see my adoptive parents?"
He Chenglin said, "A friend from Kyoto called me and said he's been transferred here, asking me to take care of him. After all, I also came from Kyoto."
Yu Huiru frowned and asked, "Why would he leave Kyoto, where he's doing, to come here?"
He Chenglin glanced at Du Yuhan and said, "I guess he found out where the Du family went. He came here probably to take care of them. I heard that as soon as he arrived, he asked people how to get to Laohewan Village. It seems like he's going to Laohewan Village."
Yu Huiru glanced at her daughter worriedly and said, "Old He, what if he finds out about our daughter?"
He Chenglin said very frankly, "So what if they found out? Xiaohan is now our He family's daughter, named He Muhan. Who said she has anything to do with Han Yixian?"
Besides, even if he found out about Xiaohan, the things he said to our daughter's face meant he had nothing to do with her anymore. Xiaohan, don't worry, Daddy's here for you."
Du Yuhan said, "Dad, I'm not worried about anything. I just don't want to have any more entanglements with Han Yixian. I just want to live a peaceful life with you."
I have things to do tomorrow, and I plan to go to Laohewan Village the day after. I need my adoptive father and the others to prepare in advance so that nothing comes of it. It's best to keep it a secret if possible.
Du Yuhan found it strange. Even if Han Yixian wanted to find the Du family, he wouldn't have transferred to work in City C. Didn't he care about his fiancée anymore?
He Chenglin said, "The day after tomorrow, I'll have your second brother come back and take you to Laohewan Village. Once you get there, you can stay at your Uncle Liang's house. People will only know that you are a relative of the Liang family and have no direct relationship with the Du family. Even if Han Yixian finds out something, as long as they don't see you, they won't suspect anything."
Yu Huiru said worriedly, "Yuhan will come home sooner or later. Han Yixian is also in C City. You will run into him sooner or later."
He Chenglin said, "Let's talk about the future later. Let's not worry unnecessarily. Does our He family have to be afraid of Han Yixian? Besides, he wronged our daughter first, and Xiaohan really did go through a life-or-death ordeal. They themselves think Xiaohan is dead. Do we expect Xiaohan to jump out and clarify that she's not dead?"
Du Yuhan said, "Mom, Dad is right, I really did escape death. I just survived by sheer luck; they think I'm dead. I didn't lie to him."
Mom, I want to take Huayang with me this time. It's too tiring for you to take care of two children alone. Huayang is very obedient, so it's no problem for him to come with me. I also want to take him out to play; it's good for his mental well-being. Besides, my younger brother Haisheng is back in Laohewan Village where he can play.
I want him to meet more people and make more friends.
He Chenglin nodded and said, "You're right. I'll call Qi Shen later and tell him. He's been very busy lately and can't take care of the kids at all."
When He Chenglin called and mentioned it, Gu Qishen naturally had no objections. Now that his son preferred spending time with Du Yuhan, even he, as the father, had to take a backseat. Du Yuhan was taking his son to the countryside, and the boy would definitely be even happier.
Gu Qishen was going to the countryside the day after tomorrow, so he took Du Yuhan and the others to Laohewan Village, saving He Zhendong the trouble of making the trip.
That evening, Du Yuhan went into her spatial dimension and tidied up some things for the Jiang family. Most of it was food, which was exactly what the Jiang family needed most right now.
She prepared some tonics for Grandpa and Grandma Jiang to help them recover. She also hoped that they would live long and healthy lives, so that their two children, Jiang Bowen and Jiang Xiyue, would have someone to rely on.
Jiang Bowen needs time to grow, and with the guidance of his parents, he can progress more smoothly.
After packing the things she needed to bring to the Jiang family, she began to pack the things she had salvaged from the recycling center that day.
She needs to do some research to determine the authenticity of the several ancient paintings. If all else fails, she'll send them to Zhuo Yuan so he can have them appraised.
She needed Zhuo Yuan to collect more information about antiques for her, especially about artifacts that disappeared during this period. People generally don't value antiques and artifacts much these days, and she hoped to preserve as many as possible.
Du Yuhan sorted through the items she had found in the metal scrap pile and took out an object that looked like a ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel). After cleaning it, she realized that it was a bronze ding, but the surface was covered with a layer of rust, making it impossible to see the material inside.
She found some rust-removing solution, dipped a cloth in it, and removed a small piece of rust, revealing bronze-colored metal underneath—undoubtedly a bronze ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel). However, she didn't know which period it came from.
Based on her knowledge, this bronze tripod must be very old.
