Chapter 434 Changes in the 4th courtyard
After a long time, Qin Jingru seemed to have recovered from the emotion of parting. She gently tugged at Xu Damao's sleeve and asked in a low voice:
"Da Mao, have you told Mom and Dad about this? Do they... do they agree?" There was a hint of uneasiness in her tone. After all, this was a major matter concerning the future of the family.
Hearing this, Xu Damao turned around and gave Qin Jingru a comforting smile. "I told you, they all support me."
He gently patted the back of Qin Jingru's hand and continued, "In fact, the reason I was able to make up my mind this time is largely due to their support.
They know that I am having a hard time here, and they hope that I can go out and try my luck. Moreover, I have already made arrangements. After I leave, my job can be replaced by someone else or even sold, so the family won’t suffer any loss.”
Hearing this, Qin Jingru finally felt relieved. She looked at Xu Damao with admiration and love in her eyes. "Damo, you are still smart."
She admired sincerely that although she did not fully understand all the details and plans, she believed in Xu Damao's ability and wisdom.
Along the way, Xu Damao's thoughts were always running fast. Sometimes he stared at the passing scenery outside the window, and sometimes he lowered his head in deep thought, thinking about how to find Yang Jianye and make him pay for his past deeds.
His eyes revealed a kind of determination and resolve, as if no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he would forge ahead until he achieved his goal.
Qin Jingru's thoughts drifted to the distant Hong Kong. She folded her hands over her chest, her eyes flashing with expectation and yearning, as if she was already in that bustling city.
"When I get to Hong Kong, I will definitely buy a lot of beautiful clothes. When I put them on, I will feel like the heroine in a movie."
Qin Jingru spoke softly, with a happy smile on her face. She closed her eyes, as if she could already smell the unique fragrance of the new clothes and feel them gently brushing against her skin.
"And there are all those delicious foods. I heard that Hong Kong has so many delicious foods that it's hard to count them all. Every bite is a feast for your taste buds."
Her voice was full of desire, as if she could already taste those mouth-watering delicacies.
She imagined herself sitting in a high-end restaurant with a variety of delicacies in front of her. Each dish was a work of art, pleasing to the eye and unforgettable.
However, in this beautiful fantasy, Qin Jingru did not realize that what was waiting for them would be a thrilling adventure.
......
Ever since the day Xu Damao hurriedly left the courtyard, He Yuzhu stood in the yard, looking at the empty streets, feeling an inexplicable loneliness in his heart.
There was a barely perceptible trace of loss in his eyes, as if even the wind in the courtyard was a little chilly, making the originally lively life scene instantly become deserted and lonely.
He habitually walked to the old locust tree in the yard, gently stroking the traces of time left on the trunk with his fingers, feeling mixed emotions.
Yi Zhonghai's transformation happened quietly in the courtyard. His original dissatisfaction with He Yuzhu and his hidden desire for revenge seemed to be extinguished by a bucket of cold water after he witnessed Yang Jianye's miserable departure from the city due to a momentary impulse.
He began to reflect on his behavior, so he took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the Jia family. This move subtly changed the atmosphere in the courtyard.
Auntie, this always gentle and virtuous woman, originally had the dream of having another child through medication.
She took medicine on time every day and took good care of herself, but time was merciless and more than a year of efforts ultimately failed to achieve her goal.
Faced with reality, although she was unwilling, she chose to let it go and poured her maternal love into her three children: Banggeng, Huaihua and Xiaodang.
Every morning when the first rays of sunlight shine into the courtyard, Auntie always gets up first and is busy preparing breakfast for the children. She carefully cooks porridge and stews egg custard.
At the dinner table, she not only cared about the children's nutritional balance, but also did not forget to ask about their study and life. Her love and care made up for the motherly love for the children.
