This matter was quickly brushed over.
However, Han Chunxue, who had been silent all this time, thought to herself: Once I get home, I must have a good talk with my daughter. She’s now entering society, and I used to feel she was still young, with us protecting her, so I thought teaching her gradually was fine.
But after today’s events, she realized she was wrong. If she continued to be so carefree, who knows when trouble might arise.
Putting her thoughts aside, she joined Granny Zhang and Su Aihong in their conversation.
From Granny Zhang, she learned more about Xinyan’s matters, which made Han Chunxue and Su Aihong sometimes sad and sometimes happy, leaving them with mixed feelings.
When the conversation was almost over, Han Chunxue remembered the sweater she brought for Xinyan.
She got up, took out the sweater, and waved to Xinyan: "Xinyan, go to the room and try it on, see if it fits."
Xinyan looked at the finely knitted round-neck sweater, which had patterns: "Is it finished so quickly?"
At this point, the carefree Sun Zhenling chimed in: "This sweater was finished a few days ago, and these patterns are quite popular now."
Han Chunxue nudged Xinyan: "Go inside and put it on, let aunt see if it fits."
Xinyan took the sweater, smiled, and returned to her room.
When she came back out, she matched it with a pair of straight-leg pants she made herself and wore the heeled leather shoes He Jinxuan bought for her last time.
As soon as she appeared, she caught everyone’s attention.
Sun Zhenling ran over: "Cousin, this outfit is truly beautiful."
Everyone praised her attire as well. Xinyan laughed and said, "You guys better stop complimenting me, I might float away."
At that, everyone chuckled.
Han Chunxue gazed at her niece, standing gracefully there, reminiscing deeply, thinking: If only her sister-in-law could return, Second Brother had a hard first half of his life.
Xinyan consulted Han Chunxue about the pattern for a while, then went back to her room to change out of her clothes and shoes.
After coming out again, she arranged with her sister-in-law Wu Shengfang to accompany her shopping for wedding supplies next weekend when she’s off work. Of course, Chu Zhenhua and Sun Zhenling were also invited.
In the past, everyone would spend a night here and leave early the next morning, but with Wu Shengfang and Chu Zhenhua present today, it wasn’t convenient to stay over.
Additionally, with Granny Zhang just arriving, they were afraid staying might make her uncomfortable. Fortunately, Han Jingheng and Sun Baowei both drove over, so everyone squeezed in and left together.
After they departed, the courtyard fell silent.
After greeting Han Jingchen, Xinyan took Granny Zhang back to her room, knowing she must not have rested well in the afternoon, and urged her to wash up and rest early.
After settling Granny Zhang, Xinyan returned to her own room.
She understood that with the return to school the day after tomorrow, she’d also be busy again, firstly learning medicine from her mentor, and secondly, completing her schoolwork, and thirdly, taking care of the goods in her space that needed to be sold.
The quantity of this batch was considerable, but she wasn’t in a rush, thinking that if she could sell it all before the winter break, that would be ideal.
This way, she could make another trip to the south during the winter break.
In a few more years, when the market opens up and personal businesses are allowed, she plans to find a promising industry, find partners, become an investor, and live off dividends.
Once back in her room, she closed the doors and windows, then entered the space.
The little copper man that her second elder brother gave her really came to her aid in a time of need. Now, every day, she would practice acupuncture in the space, becoming quite skilled in the techniques.
Moreover, she had memorized the five handwritten books in the space thoroughly, now just awaiting the chance for practical application.
After practicing acupuncture, Xinyan didn’t stop. Today, her aunt and Han Chunxue said the moisturizer she gave them worked well, their skin had become much smoother, and even a bit fairer.
Since they liked it and she saw the results, she decided to make some more and bring it to them next time they meet.
Early the next morning, while Xinyan was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, she saw Su Jingsong hurriedly walk in.
After she finished her set, Han Jingchen emerged from the room, beckoning her: "Yanyan, come to the study; Dad has something to talk to you about."
Xinyan washed up first, then changed her clothes before heading to the study.
She lightly knocked on the door.
A voice came from inside: "Come in."
