Chapter 178 I am their uncle
Night fell quietly and He Yuan returned to the slum. Amidst anticipation and fear, Sunday arrived as scheduled.
It was a Sunday morning with a gentle breeze, neither too hot nor too cold. Everyone got up early, except Chen Qing, who stayed in bed. She waited until eight o'clock before she struggled to get out of bed.
Xiaoyu and He Yuxiang had finished their breakfast, and the two kids were busy with their own things.
After Chen Qing finished washing his face, he slowly ate the sweet potato: "He Yuxiang, I don't like eating sweet potatoes!"
Sweet potatoes are now abundant. In modern times, Chen Qing would also buy them in pursuit of a good figure, but the sweet potatoes she bought did not have so many shreds.
Nowadays, we eat a lot of sweet potato shreds, which taste like they are soaked in water, soggy and have a very bad taste.
He Yuxiang, who was hoeing the ground, shouted back, "Five more days."
Sweet potatoes have no taste but are cheaper than yams. He bought a lot of them to save money and has been eating sweet potatoes every morning recently.
Chen Qingsheng felt hopeless, but she couldn't let the food go to waste, so she ate the sweet potatoes bit by bit.
After finishing his meal and returning to his room, Chen Qing opened the window completely, feeling the gentle breeze and being able to see clearly what was happening in the yard.
In the morning she planned to put the finishing touches on Maomao's clothes.
Xiaoyu came running in: "Aunt, the weather is good today. Do we want to wash the quilt? I have already asked the old man, and he said he can get water for us during his water filling time."
"Okay, wash the quilt first."
Washing the quilt requires a lot of strength, so Chen Qing naturally has to participate in it.
He Yuan was about to look for Chen Qing, but he saw Chen Qing fetching water from a row of taps at the entrance of the alley. "What are you fetching water for?"
"The weather is good today, let's wash the quilt." Chen Qing paused again: "What have you been doing these days?"
The two lived so close.
She didn't even see He Yuan.
He Yuan took the wooden barrel from her and explained, "The machinery factory has been entrusted with an important task by the state. My R&D team needs to change its goals and restart a new project. The project has just started, so it's easy to be busy recently. It should be better in the future."
Chen Qing nodded.
He Yuan picked up the wooden bucket and poured the water into the wooden basin where He Yuxiang was scrubbing, then turned around to get more water.
Chen Qing simply asked He Yuxiang to stand up: "I'll wash it."
"OK."
He Yuxiang continued to work on the vegetable garden in his backyard.
He really wanted to see them thrive so that he wouldn't have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to wait for the vegetables in the second half of the year.
Xiaoyu was in the front yard, rubbing a corner of the quilt with her aunt.
Chen Qing was surprised to find that Xiaoyu was very strong: "Xiaoyu, do you have any more malted milk?"
Xiaoyu used to have a very poor physical condition, and Chen Qing was afraid that she would get sick, so he never stopped giving her malted milk since he bought it.
Every day, Xiaoyu would eat an egg without fail. If there was no egg at home, we would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy one for the little one.
She now runs very fast because of eating so much, and seeing how vigorously she rubs the quilt, Chen Qing feels a sense of accomplishment in raising a child.
Xiaoyu looked up: "Yes."
"That's fine. If it's gone, I'll buy you some."
Washing the bamboo mats, sheets and pillowcases for a family of three is no longer as troublesome as it is in winter.
He Yuan was responsible for fetching water, while Chen Qing and Xiaoyu washed the sheets, and it was done in less than an hour.
When the bamboo mats, quilts and pillowcases were hung on the ropes one by one and blown gently by the wind, Chen Qing looked at the entire courtyard and felt the beauty of rural life.
Chen Qing admired it for a moment, then went to pour He Yuan a glass of water: "Take a break."
He Yuan took it, held it in his palm, and asked casually, "Are you free today?"
After asking, He Yuan's eyes became vague, his ears gradually turned red, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Chen Qing could probably guess his purpose, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I have time in the afternoon, but whether the two of us can go out depends on whether Talia and Mao Jianguo are willing to help me look after the child."
He Yuxiang interrupted their conversation: "No, we can just stay at home."
They are all that big.
Where people are needed.
He Yuxiang didn't want to go to Mao Jianguo's house to coax Mao Jianguo.
Chen Qing was relieved at first, but after what happened to He Yuxiang, it was hard for her to feel at ease: "Then I'll tell Zhang Dongmei that she has a day off today. If anyone bullies you, you can hide at her house for a while."
"That's fine." He Yuxiang nodded.
Chen Qing looked at He Yuan again and told him something very realistic: "My life must be inseparable from the two little guys. I may even need your help in the future."
He Yuan looked at He Yuxiang in surprise, asking, "You didn't tell your aunt?"
He Yuxiang spread his hands.
Escape from the battlefield silently.
Looking at the eye contact between them, Chen Qing was puzzled: "What's going on with you?"
He Yuan explained: "This time I went to the capital, in addition to work, I also wanted to investigate whether I have a blood relationship with the two children."
Chen Qing frowned: "What do you mean?"
He Yuan: "I am their uncle."
A bolt from the blue.
The explosion made Chen Qing dizzy.
"You are their uncle?!"
"Yes, but I swear, before I investigated the situation clearly, I didn't think the child was a problem." He Yuan saw Chen Qing suddenly take a step back, and a bad premonition came over him.
Chen Qing said calmly: "Tell me, what is the situation between you and my brother-in-law, and how did you find out that the child is your nephew or niece?"
Her tone was cold, and He Yuan was very frightened when he heard it, "Chen Qing..."
Chen Qing: "Speak nicely."
"The situation was quite urgent at the time. My family only had one quota to go abroad. My brother and I drew lots, and my brother won. He went abroad with the family property. After I went to the capital to investigate, I was not sure about the specific reason why he came to Guangdong Province. I discovered the relationship between the child and me when I was helping to get something from your utility room and accidentally saw my brother's photo."
He Yuan made it short.
Tell Chen Qing directly about it.
He took a step forward, trying to get closer to her.
Chen Qing looked at him coldly, feeling oppressive all over.
He Yuan stopped.
Chen Qing went to close the door and called the two children over, "He Yuxiang, do you know that he is your uncle?"
He Yuxiang's intuition told him that his aunt was on the verge of a rage, so he nodded slightly.
Chen Qing closed his eyes and asked coldly, "Where's Xiaoyu?"
Xiaoyu cried.
She is scared.
It has been a long time since my aunt spoke to her in such a cold way.
He Yuxiang: "She doesn't know."
Xiaoyu wiped her tears with the back of her hand and choked up, "Auntie, don't be angry."
He Yuan looked at Chen Qing worriedly and said softly, "Can you tell me what makes you unhappy? Let's talk about it. We really don't have any intention of hiding anything from you about this matter."
"I know."
She just felt a little uncomfortable.
Since coming to the 1970s, she has cherished her two children and even feels the happiness of having a family from heaven.
Then……
She is not the child's only relative.
Well, she was actually feeling very uncomfortable.
If one day, she and He Yuan broke up, would the two children also choose He Yuan?
Because the original owner had abused them.
But He Yuan didn't.
He's definitely going to be better.
And she will never be the only choice for her child.
