Anyone who raises a child knows how much suffering the child endures, and the adults have already gone through that pain themselves.
After taking the prescription, Chen Qing said to the doctor, "My child may come to the capital to study at university in the future. Can I have her come to see you once a week? Please feel free to make any requests you may have."
The old doctor looked at her, his eyes filled with admiration and affection: "No need. Just have her come then. I just hope you can stay true to your original aspirations and run your garment factory well."
Chen Qing was taken aback. "I will."
She bowed deeply to the old doctor again before leaving his house.
Back at the guesthouse, Chen Qing sat quietly by the window for a long time.
As the summer dusk approached, Chen Qing looked out the window to find the view covered in lush greenery. Looking up again, he saw a magnificent sunset.
Chen Qing went to get the food coupons and money, went downstairs to find a nearby state-run restaurant, and ordered a bowl of vegetable porridge.
The atmosphere of reform and opening up in the capital is not as strong as in Guangdong Province. While the clothing wholesale market in Guangzhou is almost fully established, the capital is calm and peaceful, with no food stalls in sight.
Chen Qing carried the vegetable porridge, found an empty table and sat down. She scooped up a spoonful, blew on it to cool it down a bit, and then put it in her mouth.
The porridge coated with chopped greens and minced meat tasted very good; the rice grains were cooked until they bloomed, making it very pleasant to eat.
After finishing her bowl of porridge, Chen Qing happened to see the sunset about to completely disappear. Feeling relaxed, she took a aimless walk. Every house was brightly lit and the streets were bustling. She walked back to the guesthouse alone, washed up, and slept soundly for a whole night.
Chen Qing slept soundly for ten hours without having any dreams that night. Feeling refreshed, he packed his bags and headed to Northeast China.
The train chugged along, carrying Chen Qing to many cities. By the time she had traveled around, it was already August 2nd. The moment she arrived home, Chen Qing instructed Secretary Zhang: "Go and tell Xiao He to pack her luggage. We're leaving the country tomorrow."
He Yuxiang said in a ghostly voice, "I'll go abroad with you too."
Chen Qing felt a chill run down her spine: "You're coming abroad with me, not going to hell with me! What's wrong with talking nicely?!"
"I'm going abroad to play an assassin, and the director told me to practice my deep, magnetic voice." He Yuxiang was very distressed.
Whenever he lowered his voice, Xiaoyu and Maomao would burst into laughter, mocking him without any restraint.
He hid in his room and practiced his voice in front of the mirror, trying to adjust his way of speaking, until he became neither human nor ghost.
Chen Qing: "Hehe."
Xiaoyu: "Auntie, are you all going out?"
Chen Qing's eyes flickered slightly: "That's right, your brother and I have both gone out, so the family is counting on you. Can you spend some time at home with your younger siblings during this time?"
Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed: "My coach told me to intensify my training so I can go to the capital to participate in the National Games in September. Can I stay at home for half a day and train for the other half?"
Pingping complained, "Why should my sister take care of us!"
Youyou also said, "That's right, we can take care of ourselves and even take care of Sister Xiaoyu!"
He Yuxiang kept quiet for the time being.
His aunt is not one to make baseless accusations.
If Pingping and Youyou really needed someone to take care of them, it would have been before they were three years old. Now the siblings are taking care of Xiaoyu's health instead, so how could they possibly need Xiaoyu's care?
Xiaoyu hesitated.
Pingping resolutely resisted the tyranny: "No, we must rebel against Mom. She's doing this on purpose. Sister Xiaoyu is going to participate in the competition. She's the most important one!"
Youyou and her sister joined forces: "That's right, Mom is bad, she's deliberately playing the victim to gain your sister's sympathy!"
That was clearly his move!!!
Chen Qing: "..."
I'm truly impressed.
How did she manage to give birth to two such articulate children?
They have a whole repertoire of insults and schemes.
I remember a while ago Pingping wrote an article specifically to curse someone. Her words were so sharp that she verbally abused the person. He Yuxiang even wanted to publish it in the newspaper, but she stopped him.
If she actually publishes the article, it could easily cause a small-scale impact and disrupt her plans.
There was no other way; she needed to be yelled at...
Seeing that her aunt was being resisted, Xiaoyu didn't discourage her younger siblings. Instead, she discussed with her aunt, "Is half a day of training okay?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Qing said, "I offended some people recently, and they might retaliate against me. I've gone abroad, so they might retaliate against Pingping and Youyou. I hope you can protect them."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu was terrified and hurriedly said, "I will stay at home and protect my younger siblings."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Don't put too much pressure on us. We just need to stay home."
Xiao Yu nodded with a serious face, ran back into the house, stuffed weapons into her waistband, and filled her pockets with stones.
Chen Qing called He Yuxiang over and told Xiaoyu everything about her visit to the traditional Chinese medicine doctor: "I plan to use these two weeks as a buffer period. After she comes back, the college entrance examination results will be released. Even if she can't perform well in sports, she can still get through it if she excels in her studies."
He Yuxiang gave a low "hmm".
Chen Qing reassured him, "It's not a big problem. It's good that we discovered the problem in time and can take good care of it."
He Yuxiang simply hummed in response.
Chen Qing changed the subject: "Why did you go abroad to become an actor?"
"I want to take this opportunity to go abroad and see what the outside world is like, and also buy a batch of foreign goods to resell to the black market boss here."
"What about electronics factories?"
"The equipment hasn't arrived yet, but I've taken on a small order to keep the internal system running as it was originally. It won't make much money, but it'll be enough to keep the business running."
He Yuxiang has many things he wants to do.
Clothing wholesale.
Typewriter instruction.
Producing electronic watches.
These are all profitable deals.
The clothing wholesaler has already placed an order with the small clothing factory. Once the clothes are produced, Mao Mao will take Ai Jiao Hu and Wang Wenming to sell the goods in other places.
He had already arranged for the people who had previously destroyed the casino to do the preparatory work for the typewriter instruction.
The house and equipment are ready, and we are currently in the promotional stage, hoping that students or unemployed people will sign up.
He's expanding into multiple areas and genuinely feels he doesn't have enough manpower.
But once these three things develop, he can earn over ten thousand a day, and if this continues for a year, he can pocket several million.
Once he has millions in his hands, he'll have even more options at his disposal.
He Yuxiang's purpose in taking this opportunity to travel abroad was not merely to make money from buying and selling. His main goal was to broaden his horizons, see how developed countries made money, and learn from and emulate their methods to reap the rewards.
Seeing that he had a plan, Chen Qing stopped worrying about him. "Then pack your bags. Oh, by the way, how's it going with the lawyer I asked you to find?"
He Yuxiang: "I've hired seven lawyers. Can they help me promote my digital watch?"
Chen Qing nodded: "Okay, seven people for seven days of advertising."
He Yuxiang: You really know how to separate public and private matters!
He left the study to pack his luggage, and suddenly thought of Xiaoyu. He then secretly went to see a very powerful fortune teller and asked for six amulets for his family. He put his uncle's amulet in his uncle's file box.
May God protect us and keep us safe. (End of Chapter)
