Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 441 Unraveling

Liu Huizhen seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Lin Qingyan: "Xu Jianshan is also on vacation, right? Is he going home for the New Year?"

"Xu Jianshan and his team had their holiday two days ago. He has been busy at the photo studio recently. I don't think he will go home."

Lin Qingyan said uncertainly,

"His family has many people but few houses, so living conditions are very tight. He has several older brothers, all of whom are married.

After his brothers got married and had children, they all lived together. If he went home, he probably wouldn’t even have a place to sleep.”

"So he hasn't been home in these years?"

Liu Huizhen felt a little sorry for Xu Jianshan at this moment. This child was very smart. He knew what he wanted and had his own bottom line in life and work. He was a good child.

"I heard that he has never returned home since he went to the countryside as an educated youth."

"Is it because his parents weren't nice to him either?" Liu Huizhen felt even more distressed.

"No, his parents are very good to him, but they are powerless. He has too many children and now has several grandchildren.

His parents worked in the fields all day, and they could only afford enough food and drink for the family. In the past few years, it was difficult to even get enough to eat. He didn't want to go back and remind his parents of their guilt towards him. "

"Is he Lanlan's boyfriend?"

"Mom, did you figure it out?"

Lin Qingyan was surprised. Wang Lanlan had only confessed to her a few days ago, although she had noticed something was wrong a long time ago.

Liu Huizhen looked at Lin Qingyan with a smile: "I have drunk more water and eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. How can you hide your little tricks from me?"

Lin Qingyan gave her mother a thumbs up.

"Mom, you're amazing. They are dating now. Xu Jianshan introduced her to his family situation and said that he would pay for his parents in the future. Lanlan said she would try it out first and consider future issues when they are suitable."

"Xu Jianshan is a hard-working kid, and Lanlan can earn money on her own. As long as they have feelings for each other, they will definitely live a good life in the future."

Liu Huizhen was very optimistic about the two. Xu Jianshan's family was an ordinary family in this era, and Wang Lanlan's family was also a large family living together.

It's just that one is in a city and the other is in the countryside, and the conditions are similar. If the two of them live alone in the future, then it will definitely be suitable.

The mother and daughter were chatting when Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan walked in from outside, followed by Ye Keke.

"Godmother, we are here! Did you miss us?"

As soon as Wang Lanlan walked into the yard, she shouted exaggeratedly.

"Hey, look who's here, my daughter, come in quickly."

Liu Huizhen quickly stepped forward and pulled Ye Keke into the house, and rubbed her hands that were cold from being frozen outside.

Ye Keke gave Liu Huizhong a shy smile: "Godmother, I'm not cold!"

"Your hands are cold. Come over here with your godmother and warm yourself by the fire."

Liu Huizhen shouted to Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan who were still at the door,

"Why are you two still standing there like idiots? Come over here and warm yourself by the fire."

"Godmother, ever since Coco came, you can't see me and Ye Yi anymore. I'm so sad!"

Wang Lanlan walked to the brazier and warmed her hands over the fire, while Ye Yi came to Lin Qingyan with a smile.

"Keke is still young, so godmother habitually looks after her first and ignores you. Godmother will cook more delicious food for you later."

Liu Huizhen knew that Wang Lanlan was deliberately acting like a spoiled brat, so she also cooperated and coaxed her.

The first time Liu Huizhen saw Ye Keke, she felt so distressed. She looked so thin and small.

Ye Yi said Coco was about fourteen or fifteen years old, but she looked only about ten years old. At that time, Coco hid behind Ye Yi. After her sister coaxed her softly for a while, she slowly walked out from behind her sister and timidly called her godmother.

For Coco, all of them, including Lin Jianshe, walked in lighter steps and spoke in lower voices.

This group of people would patiently accompany Coco and talk to her, or perhaps they would chat and let her listen.

Gradually, Coco accepted them and was willing to talk to them. Although she still didn't talk much, she smiled more often.

At this moment, Coco heard the conversation between Liu Huizhen and Wang Lanlan and just smiled shyly.

"Lanlan, you are not as good as Keke. You are so old but still act like a spoiled child. By the way, are you going to invite Xu Jianshan to come over for dinner?"

Lin Qingyan was originally sitting on the side eating melon seeds and calculating the number of people who would be eating later.

"He's out on location, and I told the people in the store to come over when he's done."

When Wang Lanlan mentioned Xu Jianshan, her face turned slightly red and she glared at Lin Qingyan unhappily.

Turning around to chat with Liu Huizhen, "Godmother, I feel like I haven't been here for a long time. Let's have a good chat later. Let Qingyan go cook!"

"Okay, you guys chat here, I'll go cook." Lin Qingyan stood up and prepared to go into the kitchen.

"I'll help you."

Ye Yi got up and went into the kitchen with her.

"Ye Yi, have you informed Yun Xing? Will he come tonight?"

Lin Qingyan was taking ingredients from the kitchen cabinet and calculating how many dishes to cook.

"He doesn't seem to be in Beijing. He's on a mission."

Ye Yi directly took the ingredients that Lin Qingyan brought out and prepared to wash them.

"Are you and Fang Yunxing okay?"

Lin Qingyan suddenly asked, causing Ye Yi to pause, but soon smiled.

"What could possibly happen between him and me? I haven't seen him recently, and there's no chance for us to have an argument."

Lin Qingyan didn't look at Ye Yi. She kept cutting vegetables, but what she said made Ye Yi cry.

"Ye Yi, you are no longer the young woman who saw no future in Xishui Village.

You are now a college student at one of the top universities in our country. You have a bright future ahead of you. The most important thing is that you are not only rich, but also very good at making money.

Let’s not talk about what job the country assigns you after graduation, what heights you can reach, and what achievements you can make.

There is one thing you must remember, Ye Yi. Don't underestimate yourself. You are excellent. You are very excellent. You are better than most of your peers.

We cannot choose what kind of family we are born into, but we can choose what kind of life we ​​live.

Some people struggle all their lives just to have enough food and clothing, some people struggle to buy a house and a car, but some people can travel all over the beautiful land of the motherland with just a pair of legs.

Don’t be afraid of what you want. It doesn’t matter if your calculations fail. I’m still there for you. As long as you don’t regret your decision, that’s all that matters.”

Lin Qingyan didn't know when Ye Yi started to feel a little inferior. It seemed that she had been going home since that year and had completely given up on her parents.

She is not as optimistic as before, although she still talks, laughs and makes noises.

But she felt as if there was a layer of fog between them. Only when she met Fang Yunxing and argued with him did she feel the real Ye Yi.

She felt that she couldn't let her go on like this, she was afraid that Ye Yi would regret it.

Just as Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi were chatting in the kitchen, there was a knock on the door.
