Like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding her heart home.
That night, as the last rays of sunset faded away, Qin Huixin and her family, tired from their journey, were warmly welcomed into Xu Qinghe's home.
Qin Huixin shares a warm room with her elderly grandmother, while Sun Fu and Sun Hongbing, father and son, are properly accommodated in a clean, tidy and well-decorated guest room.
Although the room is not spacious, it does not appear crowded due to proper layout, and everyone can find their own little world.
The next morning, as soon as the sky turned pale, Xu Qinghe got up early and prepared the necessities for the guests who were about to embark on their journey home.
She carefully selected dry food and specially filled a basket with homemade tofu and fermented bean curd. The delicate taste and unique flavor will definitely add a bit of warmth to the journey.
On the way to see them off, the morning dew was slightly cool, and Xu Qinghe chatted and laughed with everyone. Only after watching them walk away did he slowly turn around and set out on his way home.
After returning home, she immediately plunged into the intense design work, her pen tip jumping on the paper, sketching out a series of creative design drawings.
However, just as she was concentrating on her work, a sudden idea made her decide to go to the workshop to check.
She wanted to check the environmental hygiene on the way, but she didn't expect that not far from the workshop, a figure was lying outside the wall stealthily, and the back was extremely familiar.
As he got closer, Xu Qinghe was surprised to find that this person was Zhao Fangcao, the woman he met by chance and had an argument with in the village yesterday.
Recalling yesterday's unpleasantness, Xu Qinghe couldn't help but wonder why Zhao Fangcao was here again today. Was she really not required to work in the fields? Zhao Fangcao's suspicious behavior around the workshop undoubtedly aroused Xu Qinghe's vigilance. She secretly speculated that Zhao Fangcao was either trying to cause chaos or trying to steal her skills.
So Xu Qinghe approached cautiously. The wall of the workshop was not high and could be easily climbed over with just a stone. Zhao Fangcao took advantage of this and half of his body was already inside the wall, trying to peek into the movement in the yard.
However, the protective net covering the workshop made all the details blurred. Zhao Fangcao could only vaguely see the workers busy around the millstone, chatting and laughing one after another, but there was no mention of the key points of the production process.
Zhao Fangcao was extremely anxious. After observing for several days, she had not gained anything. She longed to get the secret formula of pea flour, but had no one to help her.
She is not popular in the village and it is extremely difficult for her to find a helper, not to mention that the villagers treat her like a thief and don't even give her a chance to get close to her.
Despite this, Zhao Fangcao knew that this was a good opportunity to change his destiny and must not give up easily.
Just when Zhao Fangcao was in trouble, Xu Qinghe's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, offering to take her in to take a look.
Zhao Fangcao was so focused on peeping that she didn't notice Xu Qinghe's arrival at all. This sudden invitation made her panic, and she slipped and fell directly off the stone.
Fortunately, the height was not high and no serious injuries were caused. Zhao Fangcao brushed off the dust on his body. When he looked up and saw Xu Qinghe, anger instantly surged in his heart.
Facing Zhao Fangcao's questioning, Xu Qinghe retorted, questioning why Zhao Fangcao was not working in the fields but peeping here instead, and asked her to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise he would take her to see the village chief.
Zhao Fangcao glared at Xu Qinghe fiercely, but did not dare to confront him head-on. She just muttered that she was just taking a look and asked Xu Qinghe to mind his own business.
Then, just like last night, she started running for no reason. Perhaps because her butt was a little sore from the fall, she looked quite funny when she ran.
Xu Qinghe already had a plan in mind. She knew that Zhao Fangcao must have some ulterior motive, but she ran very fast and refused to communicate. Unless she was caught on the spot, it would be difficult to get her to confess.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Qinghe decided to return to the workshop and inform everyone about Zhao Fangcao's behavior, reminding everyone to be vigilant to prevent Zhao Fangcao from taking advantage of the situation.
Everyone was outraged when they heard about Zhao Fangcao's ill intentions. Zhou Yuan even revealed that she had met Zhao Fangcao many times. The other party seemed to want to strike up a conversation but did not dare to approach. When asked why, she remained silent and then hurried away, which made her confused.
Other villagers also said that they had frequently seen Zhao Fangcao wandering around recently.
Xu Qinghe listened to everyone's opinions and reminded everyone to lock the door when entering and leaving. He also suggested that if Zhao Fangcao was found again, they should report it directly to the village chief. He guessed that the village chief might have assigned insufficient workload to Zhao Fangcao, causing her to be bored.
Everyone reached a consensus on the seriousness of the situation and promised not to give Zhao Fangcao any opportunity to take advantage of him. Only then did Xu Qinghe return home with peace of mind.
These days, Xu Qinghe's home life is fulfilling and peaceful.
During the day, she immersed herself in painting and reading, and at night she studied books with Xiang Qin, enjoying the nourishment of knowledge.
She found that Xiang Qin had an amazing learning ability, especially her English level, which was admirable in its fluency.
At this rate, the college entrance examination would be a piece of cake for Xiang Qin.
But this matter must be kept confidential to avoid unnecessary trouble. Once leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xu Qinghe repeatedly reminded Xiang Qin, especially to stay away from the quick-witted Zhao Fangcao, for fear that she would cause trouble after finding out.
Xiang Qin was a reasonable person. She told Xu Qinghe that at present only Xu Qinghe knew her English level, which eased Xu Qinghe's worries.
As a good friend, Xu Qinghe didn't want Xiang Qin to suffer any conspiracy in the countryside.
At the same time, Xu Qinghe is concentrating on designing several clothing styles that he plans to promote on his own. These designs are bolder and more innovative than those previously provided to Director Li, but they are still practical to wear. The aim is to create a clothing style that is unforgettable, stunning, and yet measured.
The last time Feng Jie helped with sales, the clothes were almost sold out. There was no need for much publicity, and the young girls in the supply and marketing cooperative rushed to buy them.
Fengjie looks forward to her new product every day, and Xu Qinghe is also anxious, but because her grandmother is busy with workshop affairs and she cannot find a reliable partner for the time being, she can only suppress her inner anxiety and wait for the design drawings to be completed.
The night was as dark as ink, slowly covering the sky. Zhou Yuan and Yin Laoer finished their day's work and set out on their journey home side by side.
The door of the house gradually became clear in front of him. The moment he pushed it open, he unexpectedly ran into the scene inside the house - Xie Di and Yin Xiaoyu were sitting around Old Lady Yin, muttering to themselves, discussing Xu Qinghe's banquet for the village chief last night. Their words were full of dissatisfaction with Xu Qinghe for not inviting their own family members, as if Xu Qinghe regarded outsiders as more important than his relatives.
In the early years, when faced with such family matters, Mr. and Mrs. Yin always chose to remain silent.
Zhou Yuan knew that since his family had not given birth to a son, their status in the family would inevitably be lower than others.
