I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 142 Unsettled Feelings

Qiao Qingyu didn’t doubt that Director Lin did this to polish He Xiuyu’s reputation, after all, he was the male lead with an absolutely formidable ability to coordinate his hands and brain.

Yet, she still felt uneasy.

It wasn’t that she was aggrieved, just that being by He Xiuyu’s side seemed somewhat dangerous.

Su Yunyao, who had been thinking about him, was behaving now, but who knew what mischief she might cause in the future, especially since that woman knew what was going to happen in the next twenty years.

Qiao Qingyu, merely a reader, had just skimmed through for amusement. When transformed into the real world, there were many details she did not know, any carelessness could plunge her into an irreparable disaster.

Thinking this way, the Qiao Family Team seemed to truly be her safe haven.

But to be honest, laying out her career in Xichuan felt much more fulfilling and meaningful than staying with the Qiao Family Team.

Qiao Qingyu remained silent.

He Xiuyu, riding the waves of slight intoxication, unexpectedly pushed open the room door. The curtains were drawn; the room was dim, but he knew where the table in this room was. He accurately walked up to the table, then placed the medicine box from his pocket on it, and whispered softly, "Comrade Qiao Qingyu, even if you’re upset with me, don’t gamble with your own health. Take one pill, you will sleep well tonight."

Then, He Xiuyu turned around and left, gently closing the room door behind him.

Qiao Qingyu lay on the kang, tossing and turning, while He Xuerong quietly closed her eyes next to her, unsure if she was asleep or not.

Qiao Qingyu thought about it and decided to turn on the light. The room had a stove, she took out a black pill, smelled a faint scent of herbal medicine, and did not doubt the effectiveness of the sleeping pills since they were brought by He Xiuyu. After taking the medicine, Qiao Qingyu then turned off the light and lay down on the clean, fresh bedding, slowly closing her eyes.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, or perhaps the pill was effective, but Qiao Qingyu soon drifted off to sleep.

...

That night, she indeed slept well, without dreaming at all.

When she woke up in the morning, she felt refreshed, and that seemingly perfect man had already made breakfast.

The leftover dishes from the previous night were warmed up, and rice porridge was cooked. Food was tight now, after all, the base had too many mouths to feed, and every aspect needed funding, so white flour wasn’t provided unlimitedly, the steamed buns were also mixed with cornflour.

It was half white flour mixed with half cornflour.

But it was actually quite delicious.

He Xiuyu always got up early, and after preparing the breakfast, he also conveniently wrote a plan.

It was specifically about the greening project Qiao Qingyu was to handle for the base.

He hadn’t agreed to her proposal to take over the contract.

It wasn’t that it was against the rules, but because Qiao Qingyu didn’t have enough manpower right now, taking it on would mean she had to handle everything herself.

It wasn’t suitable for the current Qiao Qingyu.

Thus, the plan he wrote was officially under the name of the base.

Currently, the base’s funds were extremely tight. If it wasn’t so, even if it were for free seeds, he was prepared to give Qiao Qingyu funding for the seeds. Unfortunately, financial shortages plagued the base, a promised fund hadn’t been received yet, and a project was delayed due to a lack of raw materials because of the fiscal strain.

But the greening construction of the base had to proceed, he planned to propose at the meeting to establish the Tenghai Research Base Greening Committee.

This would be a functional department, playing a very important role in the next twenty years.

Hundreds of miles of sand belts and wastelands required lots of manpower, material, and financial resources.

So, he needed to consult with everyone on how to solve the manpower issue.

Fortunately, Qiao Qingyu, the girl, had a great vision. The design blueprints for the efficient and high-capacity sowing and tilling machines had already been completed, and she would transfer them to the Yu Yushu County Mechanical Factory.

Ultimately, the usage rights of the blueprints would belong to Tenghai Research Base, but currently, the base didn’t have the financial ability, so they still needed to draw up an agreement with the mechanical factory.

He also planned to personally check whether the factory was capable of producing such high-standard tilling machines, seeders, and harvesters after the autumn harvest.

And possibly other agricultural machinery.

The quality of the tractors from Yushu County was good, and he planned to get one for Qiao Qingyu and modify it for her.

This little girl looked both cool and beautiful driving a tractor.

After all, at her current level, she wasn’t yet qualified to have a jeep assigned to her alone. But a tractor was completely feasible, and moreover, it was supported by a brother unit, so it had nothing to do with the research base.

After completing the lengthy proposal, he also heard the voices of Qiao Qingyu and Rongrong speaking from the bedroom in the living room.

He Xiuyu stood up, stretched lazily, moved his neck, put the proposal into his briefcase, and quickly walked out of the kitchen.

Everything was peaceful in the morning: washing up and eating breakfast. However, when He Xiuyu was about to take Rongrong to kindergarten, Rongrong clung tightly to Qiao Qingyu’s clothes and wouldn’t let go.

She still couldn’t speak, but her firm gaze an tightly pursed lips conveyed her thoughts at that moment.

Qiao Qingyu was very busy today, but her busy schedule was confined within the base. She pinched He Xuerong’s little hand and looked up at He Xiuyu, "Is she going to the kindergarten today, or to the base hospital for rehabilitation training?"

"She’s going to kindergarten," He Xiuyu said softly.

"Then I’ll take her with me today."

"But aren’t you supposed to go to your lab to screen seeds?"

"It’s okay, as long as you’re comfortable with it, let her stay by my side today."

He Xiuyu smiled, his gaze tender and warm, his voice soft, "Comrade Qiao Qingyu, thank you."

Qiao Qingyu forced a smile and then lowered her head to look at He Xuerong, who was also looking up at her. Her expressionless little face slowly began to smile, the little girl really was beautiful, smiling like a flower.

This child had indeed changed a lot in the past month.

Since she was so attached to her, Qiao Qingyu didn’t mind taking her along when she had the time.

After all, this kind of dependency was quite fulfilling.

He Xiuyu hurried off; he had too much to do today.

So did Qiao Qingyu, but she had to first stop by Sister-in-law Li’s house. fгeewebnovёl.com

Li Zhiqiang was still under quarantine review. Even if he had done nothing wrong, he had made a serious dereliction of duty this time, and it had also led to the sacrifice of a warehouse keeper.

Therefore, when Qiao Qingyu, holding Rongrong’s hand, knocked on the Li family’s door, Sister-in-law Li had not slept all night and looked haggard with swollen eyes. Xiao Hu followed behind her listlessly. Although he didn’t know what had happened, his mother hadn’t let him go to kindergarten today.

He was still thinking he wouldn’t see Rongrong since he couldn’t go to kindergarten, but unexpectedly, Rongrong didn’t go either.
