He Yuan put her luggage in the room: "We estimate we'll be staying here for about ten years."
"Sure, sure, you can stay until Tijuca."
This house was already top-of-the-line for her; Chen Qing really didn't want anything more.
And the capital city has heating!
Heaven knows how chilly and damp Guangdong is in winter; the cold wind howls and seeps into your bones.
In her house in the capital, she didn't need to carry a hot water bottle all the time.
Seeing that she was excited, He Yuan patted her hair and started packing her luggage.
Chen Qing turned on the TV in the room, clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Extravagant, so extravagant."
This is life.
You're really enjoying yourself!
He Yuan glanced at the television. This television was bought by He Yuxiang, and he had only tried it once after buying it. Now it was finally going to be put to good use.
He took out a clothes hanger and put Chen Qing's clothes in the wardrobe.
Seeing him busy, Chen Qing put on some music and started tidying up.
In fact, in terms of area alone, the rooms in the capital city are not as big as those in Guangdong province.
Moreover, there was no room for a study in the small villa, and her and He Yuan's room was decorated very simply.
There's a wardrobe on one side and a desk on the other, with the desk by the window.
There is also a small restroom near the entrance.
After packing her simple belongings, Chen Qing looked around the children's rooms and came back to tell He Yuan, "Our bedroom is quite spacious, but the children's rooms are actually a bit cramped."
"Yes, there were originally three rooms upstairs, but so far only our room has remained untouched. The children's rooms have been divided in two. Downstairs there were originally storage rooms and rooms for the elderly that would have been suitable for them to live in, but those two places don't get much sunlight. Even if you open up one window, it will be blocked by the wall next door."
“Well, there’s no other way then. Besides, I think the elderly’s room and the storage room are also useful.”
Needless to say, the tool room will be crammed full sooner or later, given how much they love buying things.
The elderly person's room can be turned into a "relatives' room" by hiring someone to cook for them.
Xiaoyu knocked on the door: "Auntie and Uncle, we're hungry. Let's go eat first, and then we'll go get a bath after we rest for a while."
"Oh, okay."
Chen Qing went to get the money tickets.
Pingping ran over to show her dad a picture of her mom, raised her chin, and asked, "Isn't it incredibly beautiful!"
He Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, I'll print it out later and put it in my office."
Pingping nodded in agreement: "Okay, I want to put one in too."
Xiaoyu raised her hand: "I want one too!"
Youyou quickly joined the fray: "Me! Me! Me!"
Chen Qing leaned closer for a look and was startled by how beautiful she looked: "Wow, the photo is so good!"
Looking at the person in the photo, and then at her, everyone felt a sense of disillusionment for some reason.
He Yuxiang said coldly, "Time to eat."
Everyone quickly put on their coats and followed him.
The restaurant was far from the villa; it took the family more than twenty minutes to walk there.
Chen Qing instantly realized the inconvenience of the capital city. "He Yuxiang, do you know? You have the genes to open a restaurant."
He Yuxiang didn't even bother to roll his eyes. As soon as his aunt opened her mouth, he knew what kind of trouble she was going to cause.
"I have no money."
"No money? You're a big liar! You're rich now. Let me tell you, as long as the ingredients are clean, the taste is decent, and the price isn't too outrageous, the customer return rate is very high. Running a restaurant is very profitable. Why don't you give it a try and see if you can open a restaurant? Besides, as the capital's economy develops, won't we be able to live together as a family?"
“…Let me think about it.” He Yuxiang was genuinely tempted.
Chen Qing gave a thumbs up: "This child is teachable."
Youyou encouraged, "Desserts, making desserts is very profitable. I've calculated it, it's more profitable than running a restaurant, and nobody runs a dessert shop now."
He Yuxiang had also calculated the profit margin of desserts, which was frighteningly high. If given the opportunity, it was indeed something he could do: "...Let me think about it."
He was determined to find someone in the capital who could help him manage his business.
That way, he can make money while having a reason to come to the capital.
Although he is almost an adult, he still cannot leave home.
After the food was served, everyone ate heartily. After finishing, they went to the department store to rest for a while, bought some daily necessities, and then went to the bathhouse to get a scrub.
Chen Qing couldn't adapt to the bathhouse culture, but he had no choice but to do as the Romans do.
After getting home, it was already late, and everyone went back to their rooms.
Chen Qing lay on the soft bed watching TV, while He Yuan lay beside her, holding her close: "How are you feeling today?"
"It's nothing." Chen Qing adjusted her position in his arms and said, "The New Year is almost here, let's enjoy it first, and then I'll go back to work. By the way, isn't our home very close to Tsinghua University? I wanted to ask if I could audit any classes there?"
Tsinghua University doesn't schedule regular classes on weekends, but according to Xiaoyu, people are studying hard these days. Most of the teachers are from rural areas and have returned from reform through labor, so they are very enthusiastic and have many classes on weekends. She thinks that since she needs to adapt to the new environment and can't master the job content all at once, she might as well study hard and take some time to reflect.
After pondering for a while, He Yuan said, "Given your status, if you were to apply, you would most likely be teaching other people's classes."
Students at Tsinghua University are generally interested in current affairs and are certainly familiar with Chen Qing, so it's only natural that she would be asked to teach.
Chen Qing: "No, no, no, I'm not going to class. I'm just going to audit a class. My academic qualifications aren't high enough, so it's always good to learn more while I'm in such a good location."
"Then you should apply first. If you can attend classes, it would be nice to share your experience with everyone from time to time."
He Yuan felt that there were still many people in China who admired her.
Because in such a sensitive era, Chen Qing was the only public figure who lived such a flamboyant and passionate life.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Chen Qing planned to work diligently from Monday to Friday and study on weekends, which would be a very fulfilling life. She was just about to ask He Yuan where his research institute was so she could visit it when the lights and TV were turned off, leaving only the harmonious life of the couple.
After arriving in the capital, Chen Qing felt truly carefree and slept straight through until 11:30 AM.
While everyone else was having lunch, Chen Qingxing came to have brunch.
Fu Shuyan, a frequent visitor to the villa, was welcomed to the dinner table.
Fu Shuyan smiled and waved to his aunt: "Auntie, after you come to the capital, we'll be able to see each other more often."
"Yes." Chen Qing watched as he enthusiastically shared the stray dogs he had seen with Xiao Yu, and she really didn't know what to say.
According to the original novel, although Fu Shuyan attracted Yang Yihe's affections and boldly confessed his feelings in front of He Yuxiang, he was still generally reserved and dignified, unlike now, when he was completely like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Xiao Yu looked at her aunt with longing eyes.
Chen Qing: "Raise! Raise a cat or a dog, you can only choose one."
Xiao Yu jumped up and saluted: "Understood!" (End of Chapter)
