Chapter 179 Pulling the hook
She has two older sisters and one younger brother.

She kept thinking, why did it have to be her who lost it?

Is there something wrong with her?
She is perfectly healthy.

The director of the orphanage said she was very well-behaved.

Upon arriving in the 1970s, knowing that she was the child's only elder, she felt a despicable, secret joy.

Because she has a family now!
Then He Yuan appeared.

She actually liked He Yuan very much.

I'll miss you, I'll get jealous, and I'll want to get a little closer.

It turns out he was the children's uncle.

Chen Qing found it hard to describe this feeling. It was like having a home that she was certain she would have, but which might not ultimately belong to her, even if the person she shared it with was the one she loved most. There was still some unease in that.

But actually, this is a good thing.

It's a good thing, at least for the children.

Chen Qing sighed, picked up Xiao Yu, and wiped away her tears: "Don't cry."

Xiaoyu hugged her aunt tightly, and it took her several breaths to say, "Don't go."

Chen Qing chuckled: "This is my home, why would I leave?"

He Yuan felt a sharp pang of sadness when he saw her nonchalant smile.

He could sense that Chen Qing was very upset. He would rather Chen Qing be angry than see her quickly suppress her emotions with reason.

"Chen Qing."

"kindness?"

"You are the most important person to me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's eyes welled up with tears, which streamed down her face involuntarily. She glared at He Yuan and said, "We're not related by blood. What if we break up one day?"

He Yuan asked in disbelief, "How could it possibly break?"

People who are in a relationship are aiming for marriage; once married, it's for life.

"One of us fell in love with someone else."

"Chen Qing!"

"I'm already feeling so bad, and you're still yelling at me! Look at you!" Chen Qing wiped away her tears. "Your attitude is terrible right now."

He Yuan took a deep breath: "It's my fault."

Chen Qing felt like an unreasonable troublemaker, but strangely enough, after making such a fuss, he felt much better. He then muttered, "You are the children's uncle, so you will have to be responsible for half of their living expenses from now on. You will have to pick them up and drop them off from time to time, and you will have to take care of their food and drink."

Xiaoyu rubbed her red eyes and asked, "Auntie, don't you want us anymore?"

Chen Qing: "No, wouldn't it be better to have another adult take care of you?"

Xiaoyu shook her head: "But I was able to survive because of you. I only like you."

Chen Qing's pupils trembled.

What is she saying!
Xiao Yu hugged her and said, "Auntie, I really like you."

Chen Qing's lips parted slightly: "I know."

Forgive her, her mind is truly in a mess right now.

no……

What did Xiaoyu mean by that?
Did Xiaoyu know what she was wearing?
It shouldn’t be.

How old is she!
Even He Yuxiang didn't suspect anything.

But the old man said that children have a special spirit. The original work only said that He Yuxiang was a big villain with high intelligence, but it did not say that Xiao Yu, who died young, was dumber than her brother.

Chen Qing's mind was buzzing.

She managed to keep it from the highly intelligent He Yuan and He Yuxiang, and from everyone else, but not from the super cute Xiao Yu?!

Chen Qing suddenly smiled and ruffled Xiao Yu's hair: "Auntie knows, but I won't leave. How about this be a secret between the two of us?"

Xiao Yu looked up in surprise, her eyes sparkling with joy, and held up her little finger, saying, "Pinky promise."

Chen Qing smiled and held out her finger: "Pinky promise."

"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now!" the two shouted in unison, then burst into laughter.

Only He Yuan and He Yuxiang, who were standing beside them, seemed confused.

Chen Qing glared at He Yuan again: "From now on, you'll be in charge of cooking, her uncle."

He Yuan: "Yes. I'm going to buy groceries. Auntie, what do you want to eat?" "You make me sound so old." Chen Qing said with a disgusted face: "You're not allowed to call me that."

He Yuan looked at her in shock.

Chen replied confidently, "Is there a problem?"

"No."

He Yuan chuckled.

She's so cute even when she's being a bit arrogant.

He Yuan asked the three children what they liked to eat and was about to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables when he suddenly stopped and turned to the two children to discuss, "From now on, please call me Uncle He Yuan, don't call me Uncle anymore."

Chen Qing frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Why?"

He Yuan lowered his eyes, his voice slightly hoarse: "My identity will make my brother's achievements questionable."

When Chen Qing thought of He Yuan's capitalist identity, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After He Yuan made an agreement with the two children, he turned and walked towards the gate.

The moment the door was pushed open, more than a dozen pairs of burning eyes were turned to it.

He Yuan: "What's up?"

The neighbors all asked them what they were doing with the door closed.

Chen Qingyang said loudly, "Let's discuss how many eyes are watching us. From now on, we must keep a close eye on these families and hope they never make a mistake in their lives."

"Xiaoyu, get the pen!"

"Ok."

Xiao Yu quickly went to get paper and pen.

The people at the entrance scattered in a panic.

Chen Qing shook his head: "Their combat strength is too weak."

He Yuan went to buy groceries, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Xiaoyu poked her head out of the room: "Hmph! My aunt is so amazing!"

Chen Qing was flattered by the praise, and went to rub the little guy's soft, chubby face before going back inside.

Today's events were too shocking; she still finds it all too coincidental and unbelievable.

But when she learned that her brother-in-law came from a capitalist family, all of Chen Qing's doubts were resolved.

Otherwise, where would an orphan get gold?

Chen Qing had no interest in sewing, so she simply rested her chin on her hand and stared blankly at the gently swaying quilt.

"What are you looking at?"

He Yuan suddenly appeared.

Startled, Chen Qingyi asked, "You bought it so quickly?"

He Yuan hummed in agreement, stood outside the window, and handed her a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda.

Chen Qing took it, placed it on the table, and rested his chin on the bottle cap: "I think it's amazing how you can be the uncle of two children. If you hadn't come to work at the machinery factory, you would never have been able to see them in your life."

"indeed."

When he first saw his older brother's photo, he was stunned for a long time.

Seeing her dazed, He Yuan gave her another White Rabbit milk candy.

Chen Qing rolled her eyes: "Are you trying to coax a child?"

Despite saying that, she took the White Rabbit candy from He Yuan's palm, unwrapped it, and handed it to him, saying, "Here, this is for you."

She held one end of the White Rabbit candy, and He Yuan needed to touch her fingers to take it from her; once he raised his hand, he didn't know where to start.

Chen Qing: "Give me your hand."

He Yuan obediently reached out his hand.

Chen Qing placed the candy back into his palm: "Eat it."

He Yuan put a White Rabbit milk candy to his mouth and ate it; it tasted very sweet.

Chen Qing's eyebrows curved slightly as she asked, "What kind of food do you like to eat?"

He Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not a picky eater, and I don't have any particular favorite dishes."

Chen Qing: "So what do you like?"

He Yuan looked up, gazed at her intently, and after a moment said, "I actually really enjoy working at the research institute."
