Episode 21: Chen Xingjie and Lin Xiaoqing’s emotional crisis
Now that Chen Xingjie has returned to Guangshen, Gu Zhaocheng decided to go to Bianhe to find Liang Fengxia, while Liu Ziqiang continued to do small business, all of which were inseparable from the care of Cunhua. Gu Changshan was very grateful to his wife. He chatted with her about every detail of the past and accidentally mentioned Gu Zhaoxi’s incident. He felt a little uncomfortable and worried that his child would not have a good life there.
Since the Gu family encountered these troubles, Chen Xingjie has been concerned about the situation at home all the time, which aroused Lin Xiaoqing’s dissatisfaction, and the relationship between the couple gradually faded. While eating, Chen Xingjie received a call from the real estate agency and was shocked to learn that it was Lin Xiaoqing who paid the down payment for the house.
Charles told Chen Xingjie not to worry about the down payment of the house because he had already helped Lin Xiaoqing solve it. In fact, he wanted Chen Xingjie to misunderstand his relationship with Lin Xiaoqing. However, Chen Xingjie did not fall into the trap. He always chose to trust Lin Xiaoqing. He just didn’t want to see his wife borrow money from his boss for him. After all, the other party had bad intentions.
Lin Xiaoqing did not consider this, and now she understood that she was putting Chen Xingjie in a difficult position. Chen Xingjie went out to relax, looking at the busy people around him, and suddenly felt a little confused. Until he saw a Northeast dumpling restaurant, he finally felt a sense of belonging. On the other hand, Lin Xiaoqing was also afraid that Chen Xingjie would leave, and couldn’t bear Chen Xingjie to leave her family affairs and stay in Guangshen.
However, her friends persuaded Lin Xiaoqing not to think too much, and even instigated her marriage with Chen Xingjie, speculating whether Chen Xingjie had any principle issues.
Northeastern people are very welcoming wherever they go, especially fellow villagers who are more friendly when they see fellow villagers. The eldest lady at the dumpling restaurant took the initiative to take out some wine to drink with Chen Xingjie, and the two had a very pleasant chat. Lin Xiaoqing met Charles and expressed her true feelings while drunk. Fortunately, her friend stopped her in time to avoid embarrassment.
Chen Xingjie received a call from Xuanxuan and learned that Lin Xiaoqing was extremely drunk, so he immediately took a taxi to pick her up. Xuanxuan revealed to Chen Xingjie that Lin Xiaoqing did not feel safe and hoped that the two could resolve their misunderstanding. On the way back, Chen Xingjie met Charles again and had to take Lin Xiaoqing into the car. When he heard Lin Xiaoqing muttering and not letting him go, he felt mixed feelings.
Daliangzi has a successful career and came back from other places just to deal with the relocation matter. Because the Liang family has gained prestige in the hearts of the surrounding neighbors, Qin Yan feels that as long as Liang Zi’s father agrees to move, others will follow suit. Da Liangzi said that he would persuade his father to agree to sign.
Liang Fukuan and Ma Xiaoyun went to the city to purchase goods and visited Liang Fengqin. They also bought her a lot of snacks and gave her a pocket money. Although Liang Fengqin had not yet recovered her relationship with Ma Xiaoyun, she felt a little warm in her heart, so she naturally did not show any resistance and returned to the dormitory with snacks in hand.
As the New Year approaches, Lin Xiaoqing proposes to bring the Gu family to Guangshen, and the two families will celebrate the New Year happily together. Chen Xingjie allowed Gu Changshan to think of himself and did not force him to come to Guangshen. In the blink of an eye, it was 2008. The whole family gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala and eat New Year’s Eve dinner. The atmosphere was very lively. Unexpectedly, Chen Xingjie suddenly came home, which surprised them.
Lin Xiaoqing accompanied her parents during the New Year and cooked a table of meals herself. Jiayi asked when Chen Xingjie would come back, obviously dissatisfied, while Lin Heng spoke for Chen Xingjie. Charles sent someone to send a big bear doll as a gift to Lin Xiaoqing. Lin Heng saw something was going on and persuaded his daughter to have a good talk with Chen Xingjie and not to affect the marriage.
On Song Liuxi’s birthday, everyone came to celebrate, and the scene was quite lively. However, an accident happened suddenly, and Song Liuxi fainted on the spot. Fortunately, Song Liuxi’s hypertension was only caused by excitement, and it would get better if his mood stabilized. Everyone persuaded him to go to the hospital, but Song Liuxi refused.
Chen Xingjie was still a little uneasy, so he stayed with his grandfather for two days and went to the forest farm to inspect the situation. Liang Fengqin returned to school, hoping to achieve success in his studies to repay the Gu family. At the same time, he reminded Chen Xingjie to stick to what he loved. Chen Xingjie was thoughtful after hearing this.
