Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 375

He Jinxuan was anxious: "No, you do, you are my partner."

Xinyan looked at him and laughed: "Yes, I didn’t say I wasn’t. Besides, you said that in half a year, their real dad will take the two kids away. If it weren’t for your cousin back then, your aunt and uncle wouldn’t have taken you in. Now that your cousin is gone, it’s only natural for you to help her raise her son."

He Jinxuan’s passionate heart had nowhere to go, so he could only express it through actions. Soon, the meat on the chopping board turned into stuffing.

For lunch, we made sauerkraut fish, homemade tofu, and a cold mixed vegetable salad, along with shepherd’s purse and meat-stuffed dumplings.

Ye Liyan saw them about to make dumplings and didn’t just wait: "I can also make dumplings."

Saying this, he stood up and pulled the wood stump over to sit at the table. He Jinxuan didn’t hold back with him: "Rolling or wrapping?"

Ye Liyan smiled and said: "I’ll wrap. When it comes to rolling, I can never get them round, Ninghui used to scold me for it a lot."

But as soon as he said this, his nose soured, and his eyes reddened. He fell silent and buried himself in wrapping the dumplings.

He Jinxuan saw him like this and couldn’t help but advise: "I know you can’t accept it yet, but the dead can’t come back. Try to think positively— at least she left you with two lovely sons."

Ye Liyan was worried his emotions might affect others, so he suppressed them for a while before returning to normal.

The two little guys had just learned from their dad that they couldn’t be taken away for now, but their dad promised that he would come to take them home in half a year at most.

Though a bit disappointed, they weren’t having a bad time with their uncle, and they were reluctant to leave their friends behind.

Ye Liyan placed the wrapped dumplings on the cover mat: "Cousin, I’ll try to come to fetch them after the New Year. It’ll be just about time for them to get familiar with the environment, and Sili will be about to start elementary school in the latter half of the year."

He Jinxuan had no objections: "Alright, you arrange it as you see fit."

The two little ones had long forgotten their disappointment, thinking about how they could play with their friends in the family courtyard for another half year, which put them in a particularly good mood.

Though they no longer had their mom, they had the love of their uncle and Sister Xinyan, and now even had their real dad, which felt quite nice. If only he could stay here longer, they would run to share this news with their good friends right now.

The dishes were stir-fried by Xinyan, and the stuffing was seasoned by He Jinxuan. They turned out really delicious.

Ye Liyan looked at his elder cousin-in-law and gave him a thumbs-up: "Not bad."

Ye Liyan, due to having a lot of work on hand, and without him, the group couldn’t start work because there was no one to lead, so he had to leave tomorrow.

After the meal, He Jinxuan helped clean up and quickly took everyone back home.

Xinyan went to the public phone at the gate to call Han Jingchen: "Dad, it’s Yanyan."

Han Jingchen had been waiting for the call: "Yanyan, when are you coming back?"

Upon hearing the word "back," Xinyan felt a warmth in her heart: "The day after tomorrow. Once I get the ticket, I’ll let you know in advance."

Han Jingchen was delighted to hear she would be on the train the day after tomorrow: "Great, great, great, I’ll come to pick you up then."

He continued: "I bought you a little courtyard not far from the school, and these days I’m having it renovated. You can come and see what needs to be changed, and we’ll fix it together."

Listening to Han Jingchen’s words, Xinyan felt touched again, thinking how fate plays tricks. If her dad hadn’t had his accident and found her in the previous life, with someone to protect her, things would likely have been very different.

Although there’s a bit of regret, perhaps this is her destiny. To be able to reunite with her father in this life, she should be content.

After hanging up, she went back inside, locked the gate, and tidied up before entering the space.

Upon walking around outside, she noticed that fruits were much more expensive than grains, so she thought about planting more fruit trees in the future, which would make things easier for her and might even earn more money.

She discovered that as long as she did good deeds, the fog at the edge of the space would recede. Although she didn’t know if it would always be like this, it was something to look forward to. Apparently, she would need to do more good deeds in the future.
