Chapter 909: Just Let Them Get Used to It

Originally, I wanted to visit East Province before school started to see Granny Zhang, but it looks like I’ll have to wait until the National Day holiday.

I’m preparing to return home and find an excuse to bring some vegetables, eggs, and fruits produced in the space to my parents.

Eating the food from the space often is good for the body, and indirectly, the sibling in my belly can benefit too. After all, my mom is considered an older pregnant woman, and it’s better to be cautious.

Gu Wanqing saw her daughter carrying big bags back again: "We have everything at home. Why did you buy stuff again?"

Xinyan laughed and put the things down: "You haven’t had much appetite lately, so I brought food back for you from his place. I ran into him today, so of course, I bought more."

Gu Wanqing was touched by her daughter’s thoughtfulness: "Well, I’m lucky then. It’s still Yanyan thinking of me."

Gu Wanqing knew Xinyan was coming back today and had Sister Chen stew chicken soup. Recently, the child has been exhausted following her second senior brother around in the hospital, learning.

Though she felt heartache, she couldn’t stop her daughter. The best she could do was to give her daughter some extra nourishment: "School will start soon, and you can’t rest for a few days?"

Before Xinyan could answer, she continued to complain: "This whole holiday is packed full, not even leaving time for you to go out with friends. You don’t need to work so hard."

This misunderstanding is quite huge; it was not me who wanted to strive, but there was no choice.

Some things are better left unsaid to parents; anyway, it’s just a bit of hardship for me, and ultimately I benefit from it: "Mom, I won’t be going to the hospital anymore, I’ve learned enough for now."

Before Gu Wanqing could finish being happy, she heard Xinyan say: "But, I’m going south for a trip; I have a train ticket for tonight."

Gu Wanqing instinctively wanted to oppose but remained patient: "What are you going south for?"

Xinyan saw Sister Chen coming out and pointed to the watermelon she brought back: "Aunt Chen, I’ve brought back watermelon, everyone should try it and see how it tastes."

Sister Chen came over with a smile, seeing the watermelon vine attached: "Oh, this watermelon is really fresh, looks like it was just picked."

She said, carrying it toward the kitchen: "I’ll cut it into pieces now, it’ll be ready soon."

After Sister Chen left, Xinyan sat down: "Mom, I made a promise to tea farmers in the south that I would collect their tea leaves during summer vacation. I’ve been too busy to find time before now.

With school starting soon, if I don’t go now, I’ll have failed to keep my word."

Gu Wanqing listened, her face full of worry: "Previously, when you went south, you went alone? Does your dad know?"

Xinyan nodded slightly: "Yes, I mentioned it to him."

Gu Wanqing felt some resentment towards Han Jingchen; how could he agree to let their daughter go so far alone?

Yet soon after, she felt heartache again, her changing expressions were all seen clearly by Xinyan.

Gu Wanqing didn’t hide anything in front of her daughter: "Yanyan, are you going alone again this time?"

Xinyan knew what she was worried about, she stood up and smiled, going to the wall to pick up a small stone, holding it firmly in her hand until it shattered into powder: "Mom, you’re aware of my skills, safety isn’t a problem."

Gu Wanqing was still somewhat unsure: "Why don’t I go with you?"

Xinyan quickly waved her hand: "No way, if you accompany me out in this condition, Dad would tear me apart."

Gu Wanqing shot a look at Xinyan: "Look how you talk about your dad."

Xinyan quickly acted coy: "I was just making a point, and you stand by it."

Gu Wanqing also realized her impatience led to the wrong words: "How about this, I’ll send someone to go with you."

Xinyan shook her head: "Rest assured, I’ve been to the south several times, and I’ve already bought the train ticket for tonight."

Gu Wanqing showed disapproval, but she knew she couldn’t stop her daughter.

Xinyan deliberately said this; after all, in the future, she’ll surely often go out. She doesn’t want to lie to her parents; a lie leads to countless other lies, too bothersome.

It’s better to make things clear from the start and have them naturally get used to it.
