Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Face Cream

Chapter 49 -49 Face Cream

Three days later, all the male members within the big boss’s five families had been rendered impotent and had their legs broken. The big boss was beaten within an inch of his life but didn’t dare to call the police.

Two more days passed, and the big boss’s family carried him—left with nothing—away from Beijing.

Halfway through their journey, the van in which he was riding exploded, leaving none of his sons or nephews alive.

Since then, no one dared to mess with He Xuerong, let alone after they learned about her family background, and no one dared provoke her. In the entertainment circles of the nineties, she could be said to walk sideways.

To tell the truth, the reason He Xuerong was so imposing had nothing to do with the He family. She hated her father and mother, and she loathed her grandmother and aunt.

Besides visiting her grandfather, He Shan, who was recuperating in a nursing home, she never returned to the He family.

Her pillars of support were He Xiuyu and Li Mingguang.

These two had given her the capital to do whatever she pleased.

Especially the youngster in front of her, who was so clever that he almost utterly ruined the Tenghai Research Base.

At that time, the base also suffered significant losses.

And for this, He Xiuyu bore unimaginable pressure and accusations.

The future villain boss was indeed formidable…

She stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Hu’s cheek, Qiao Qingyu thought, feeling an exceptional sense of achievement!

Xiao Hu hung his head and pouted unhappily, muttering, “I am the apple of my mother’s eye, and she won’t give her eyes to anyone else.”

Sister-in-law Li came in just in time and, having heard the latter part without understanding, laughed and scolded, “You little rascal, go wash your hands, and stop bothering Aunt Qiao.”

Xiao Hu dashed away in a flash.

“Jade, Xiao He has prepared dinner at home, and he and Rongrong are waiting for you to come home and eat.” She then smacked her lips in admiration, “Your Xiao He is really a good man, not only capable outside but also a good husband at home.”

Hehe, you haven’t seen his shameless face.

Qiao Qingyu chuckled awkwardly and no longer dawdled; she got up and left Sister-in-law Li’s house. At this time, the sky was a bit dim, and the lights in the family compound were also lit.

She entered the courtyard and opened the house door; under the dim yellow light, He Xiuyu was just about to lift the lid off the pot.

Seeing her come in, He Xiuyu actually smiled slightly, though his voice was faint, it was very gentle, “You’re back, wash your hands and eat.”

It was as if…

their argument in the afternoon had never happened.

His voice was warm, and he then lifted the pot lid, releasing a familiar yet unfamiliar aroma.

Qiao Qingyu uncharacteristically looked askance, and in the next second, was startled by the sight—the big iron pot was lined with golden-brown corn cakes, containing a stew of sauerkraut and glass noodles, topped with a layer of thinly sliced smoked ham…

Where did these noodles come from?

And, could He Xiuyu really cook such authentic Northeastern cuisine?

The scene in front of her seemed a bit magical.

Although she had transmigrated into a book, the original host’s memories, including her tastes, had all been passed on to her.

She really liked eating corn cakes, especially the golden crispy layer on the bottom, which in the Northeast is called “gazha.” Qiao Qingyu looked away and hurried to wash her hands.

The basin was filled with clean water that was warm to the touch…

Qiao Qingyu felt a whirlwind of emotions.

During the meal, the dining table was enveloped in silence. He Xiuyu was not talkative, and He Xuerong was completely silent. It was unexpected that she really liked eating sweet potato noodles, and she even ate half a corn pancake.

Cooking corn pancakes in a large iron pot was not easy, and getting them perfect was even harder. But He Xiuyu not only had good knowledge; his cooking skills were also quite impressive. As long as nobody annoyed him, he truly could be described as a gentleman as pure as jade.

But when bedtime arrived, the two who had been silent all along had to talk.

The west room was tidy and smelled lightly fresh, so He Xiuyu prepared to take Rongrong to the west room. He had made a separate small bed for her, lit a small fire in the kang, and Rongrong sleeping at the head of the kang was just perfect.

Unexpectedly, He Xuerong just stared at her little uncle with her big watery eyes and clenched onto the cabbage crate without moving.

Qiao Qingyu had to break the silence, “Two choices, either move the cabbage crate to your room or let her sleep here.”

He Xuerong naturally wouldn’t make a choice; she just grabbed onto the wooden crate without letting go.

He Xiuyu’s gaze fell on the berth of the crate wrapped with cloth strips, and inexplicably, his heart softened. He thought about how Qiao Qingyu, who did not fuss or bring up divorce, was actually very kind-hearted.

His gaze became tender, “Let’s put the cabbage crate in the west room for now. Once Rongrong goes to preschool, I’ll move it back for you.”

“It’s fine; you move it.”

Qiao Qingyu was very generous.

It was just a cabbage crate, after all.

Thus, bit by bit, He Xiuyu pried Rongrong’s little hands away and carried the cabbage crate to the west room.

He then successfully carried He Xuerong to the west room. Qiao Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, realizing that He Xiuyu did not expect her to help with child care.

The next day, Sun Dazhi came to pick up He Xiuyu for work.

He Xiuyu had also prepared breakfast early. After everyone finished eating, Qiao Qingyu went to the yard. Taking this moment, He Xiuyu took out a bottle of face cream and placed it on the kang table in the east room, but upon reaching the door, he felt it was too conspicuous. Feeling slightly uneasy, he glanced at the yard and placed the face cream in the cupboard above the kang.

Looking at it, this position seemed most appropriate.

Following him, He Xuerong, with pursed lips, watched a few crates on the kang that Qiao Qingyu had reorganized, as there had been a gap the night before.

She stared blankly in that direction, then was carried out of the house by He Xiuyu. He had to take her to work and had packed a change of clothes, having also arranged for Shen Haoze to tidy up his dormitory.

After all, he would be living there with Rongrong for a while.

Before leaving, He Xiuyu told Qiao Qingyu that he might come back once a week and to call him if needed.

He Xiuyu had Sun Dazhi move the cabbage crate from the west room into the car. Although Sun Dazhi didn’t understand why, he still placed the cabbage crate in the car.

Sun Dazhi originally wanted to mention that Tenghai Research Base had forty-five acres of cabbages; when He wasn’t around, Qiao Qingyu generously provided the cabbage seeds, allowing the staff at the base to eat fresh green vegetables. Now, these cabbages were growing very well, with nutritional values twice that of local cabbages, and the comparison chart was even posted in the cafeteria.

But he thought about it and chose not to say anything, as these matters would be reported to Chief Engineer He when he visits the base.

As the jeep disappeared, Xiao Hu rushed out like a gust of wind from the Li family’s house and, seeing Qiao Qingyu standing at the door with hopeful wide-eyed, asked, “Aunt Qiao, is Rongrong home?”

Qiao Qingyu couldn’t lie to him and pointed toward the departing jeep, “Xiao Hu, Rongrong and Uncle He have gone to work. They’ll be back in a few days…”

Before she could finish, Xiao Hu burst into tears and took off running toward the jeep, crying and calling out, “Rongrong, wait for me, Rongrong, wait for me…”

Catching her breath, Qiao Qingyu managed to stop Xiao Hu. Nothing she said could calm him down until Sister-in-law Li rushed over and slapped his little backside, immediately stopping his cries!
