I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 89: Thank Her for Her Kindness and Gentleness

Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Thank Her for Her Kindness and Gentleness

He Xiuyu slowly nodded his head. Indeed, he preferred their current mode of interaction compared to the past.

Then Qiao Qingyu spread her hands, "You see, it’s really not my fault, sometimes it’s hard to satisfy all aspects.

What if acting on rumors makes this well-known to everyone? It wouldn’t look good for either of us. Isn’t it better to stay calm? Besides, we have a child at home, wouldn’t she be scared if we argued?"

He Xiuyu couldn’t help but reach out and gently rub the top of Qiao Qingyu’s head as he laughed, "How did I never notice that you always have all sorts of skewed logic?"

Shortly afterward, He Xiuyu walked towards the door, leaving Qiao Qingyu slightly stunned. He Xiuyu dared to touch her hair?

But when she turned around, she saw Rongrong standing at the door.

Qiao Qingyu followed him out, suppressing a bit of discomfort. The two of them together started tidying up the kitchen. Qiao Qingyu said to He Xiuyu, "Regardless of Su Yunyao’s intentions, isn’t your base quite busy? Does she really have nothing to do every day?"

"Busy, naturally it’s very busy. There’s a problem with the blueprint she designed, but she hasn’t figured out what the problem is yet."

He naturally didn’t hide this from Qiao Qingyu.

Qiao Qingyu blinked her eyes, recalling the storyline.

Su Yunyao, standing on the shoulders of giants after the original host logged out, certainly had it smooth.

Not only did she bring forward the scientific achievements led by He Xiuyu ten years later, but she also utilized the knowledge of the next twenty years to advance several other scientific results.

It was blatant plagiarism.

So, was the problematic blueprint her own design or He Xiuyu’s?

But if it were He Xiuyu’s, then it shouldn’t have any problems.

"So, you see, you can’t just coddle these researchers in your base. Talent is scarce, but character is very important. Oh, and let me ask you, how did Xiao Hu find that key? Did Lu Guilian commit suicide out of guilt or was she silenced? And the explosives and matches given to our family, although it was made by Mr. Wang, his stated motives are absolutely not credible!"

The dishes were also tidied up by then, and both of them stood in the kitchen, He Xiuyu listening very seriously.

Qiao Qingyu saw that he was listening attentively, so she continued, "Let me say a few more words. If I’m wrong, just ignore me. After all, this is at home, not at your workplace."

"Go ahead, it’s okay," He Xiuyu said gently.

"It’s about your research team and laboratory staff, they need to be carefully screened."

"Like whom?" He Xiuyu asked modestly.

"For example, the researchers in the most critical departments during your development and manufacturing process. You should hold a meeting specifically for them. There are definitely still spies in the base, probably more than one, hiding somewhere. So, make those people be vigilant, and not fall for traps leading to ruin and loss..."

He Xiuyu looked thoughtfully at Qiao Qingyu and suddenly asked, "Is this also a warning for me?"

"If you think it is, then you can take it that way," Qiao Qingyu said seriously.

Brother Li had recently talked about a smart and gentle female university student named Chen Dandan.

Although Qiao Qingyu couldn’t outright call her a spy, she was educated enough to know that Chen Dandan was one of the suspects.

He Xiuyu’s eyes were gentle, and he took her words seriously. "Although your words may be a bit radical and pointed, overall, they make sense. I will take them into consideration."

Qiao Qingyu smiled.

She then entered the room and turned her gaze towards Rongrong, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, surprised to find the little girl’s eyes once again fixed on her.

She was watching her, and she was watching her again.

What was so interesting about this little girl? She wasn’t even looking at her uncle.

However, Qiao Qingyu did remember something. In the afternoon, when she had nothing to do, she mixed wood ash with black soil and placed it in a basket woven from red willow branches.

Then she planted golden lotus flowers and snowdrops.

Actually, the Rainbow Flower is also called the golden lotus, which is bright and colorful. Its leaves are similar to those of a lotus, and with good care, it can bloom throughout the year.

There were over a dozen colors, and she chose seven.

She arranged them in order of color, but unfortunately, there were no flower pots.

So, she was contemplating where to get some flower pots.

Qiao Qingyu pointed to the black soil, which was still empty, and softly said to He Xuerong, who had come with her, "Rongrong, in ten days, these seedlings will all sprout. By then, they will be placed on your windowsill, and they will bloom by summer."

He Xuerong looked expressionlessly at the basket, but the next moment, her little hand rested on the edge of the basket.

Then she raised her head to look at Qiao Qingyu.

The little girl actually smiled.

Although the smile was very faint and fleeting, after seeing He Xuerong’s expressionless face for over a month, Qiao Qingyu was surprised and widened her eyes. She then looked towards He Xiuyu, who was sitting at the table flipping through a book, and excitedly said, "He Xiuyu, Rongrong just smiled at me."

Since He Xuerong was facing away from He Xiuyu, he naturally did not see it, but He Xiuyu quickly put down his book, took off his shoes, and climbed onto the platform bed.

He and Qiao Qingyu sat cross-legged on the other side of He Xuerong.

He turned his head to look at his little niece.

He Xuerong also turned her head to look at her uncle.

It seemed as if to confirm what Qiao Qingyu had just said, He Xuerong smiled at her uncle as well, although this smile, like the previous one, was very faint and fleeting. But He Xiuyu’s eyes suddenly reddened.

He knew Rongrong’s illness was gradually improving.

This was a good start.

He Xiuyu’s gaze fell back on Qiao Qingyu. At that moment, he genuinely wanted to thank her, to thank her for rescuing He Xuerong regardless of her own safety and for her gentle and kind treatment of his niece. But for some reason, he couldn’t utter those words.

Even though he had said many words of thanks and appreciation before, at this moment, with only two words to say, he couldn’t open his mouth.

At that moment, He Xiuyu felt that the words "thank you," sometimes could express gratitude, but sometimes they were trivial and lacked any real force, and moreover, they were quite insipid.

He smiled at Qiao Qingyu, then asked her, "Couldn’t find any flower pots to buy?"

Qiao Qingyu didn’t know how the topic had shifted to this, but she shook her head, "I went around the county and didn’t see any flower pots for sale."

He Xiuyu’s gaze dimmed slightly, but he said no more.

His voice was gentle as he began, "This morning, we had already conducted a checkup for Rongrong at the base hospital and tested her reaction to the external environment. The doctor said the symptoms are severe, but now is the best time for treatment."

"There are doctors for that at the base hospital?"

Qiao Qingyu really didn’t know about this.

"Doctor Zhou is a specialist in this field; I specifically invited him over."
