At the home of Jiang Mingyuan's benefactor, Shen Qingyue responded with a smile on the surface, but her mood was always low.
Her mind was still wandering between past memories and current confusion, unable to fully relax and enjoy this cozy gathering.
Jiang Mingyuan was immersed in the joyful conversation with his benefactor and did not immediately notice Shen Qingyue's emotional changes.
He was full of respect for the elderly, so he seemed particularly engaged in the communication.
The old man was very happy to see their family of three visiting and even offered to let them stay a few more days.
Jiang Mingyuan was moved by this enthusiasm and thought this would be a good opportunity to relax in life.
He turned to Shen Qingyue and said expectantly: "Qingyue, how about we stay here for a few more days? The environment here is very peaceful, and it is also a good experience for Dongdong."
Shen Qingyue listened to Jiang Mingyuan's proposal, but felt a little conflicted in her heart.
She knew this was a rare opportunity for them to enjoy some quiet time away from the daily hustle and bustle.
However, her inner uneasiness made it difficult for her to completely let go.
Shen Qingyue smiled slightly and tried to hide his hesitation: "Okay, since godfather invites us, we will stay a few more days."
Jiang Mingyuan looked at Shen Qingyue's smile and failed to notice the complex emotions behind it.
He happily agreed to the old man's invitation, looking forward to the country life these days.
In the evening, they enjoyed a simple but delicious dinner together at the old man's home.
Dongdong was very excited about this new environment and kept asking questions, bringing a happy atmosphere to the room.
In the next few days, the communication between Jiang Mingyuan and the old man became more and more in-depth.
They shared the past together, sometimes immersed in pleasant memories, sometimes going to the river to fish together, and enjoying the quiet country life.
Jiang Mingyuan seemed very relaxed in this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and his smile became more sincere.
Shen Qingyue and Dongdong were playing outside the house.
She accompanies her son to explore the surrounding natural environment, teaching him about various plants and small animals, allowing Dongdong to learn and grow in nature.
However, Shen Qingyue's thoughts were not entirely here.
Her mind is still haunted by memories of the past and uncertainty about the future. While she often watched Dongdong play, her eyes became distant and her heart was filled with contemplation.
Despite this, Shen Qingyue tried hard to maintain superficial calm and not let her inner fluctuations affect the good moods of Dongdong and Jiang Mingyuan.
She faces every day with a smile and tries her best to integrate herself into this peaceful and beautiful environment.
But in quiet moments at night, she would often sit alone by the window, staring at the river under the moonlight, falling into deep thought.
The old man's wife noticed this one morning when she was washing herself and found that she had run out of soap.
"Qingyue, I see you have run out of soap. Here is a piece of mine. You can use it first." The old woman kindly handed Shen Qingyue a piece of ordinary but clean soap.
Shen Qingyue looked at the soap in the old woman's hand. Although she was a little hesitant, she finally reluctantly accepted it.
"Thank you." Shen Qingyue smiled slightly, with a hint of embarrassment in her tone. The old woman looked at Shen Qingyue, her eyes full of kindness: "It's okay, although our place is simple, we still have quite a lot of things. If you need anything, just say it, don't be polite."
Shen Qingyue nodded, feeling warm in her heart at this simple care.
When Shen Qingyue walked out of the bathroom, the sun was shining in the yard. She looked at the various plants in the yard, as well as the rolling hills and winding river in the distance, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of yearning in her heart. Such a peaceful country life, simple and pure, was completely different from her previous life.
The old woman looked at Shen Qingyue with a hint of worry in her eyes. She could feel Shen Qingyue's heavy mood, which made her feel worried.
Later, while Jiang Mingyuan was sorting tools in the yard alone, the old woman walked over quietly.
Her steps were gentle, and her expression revealed a maternal tenderness.
She stood next to Jiang Mingyuan and said in a low and concerned voice: "Mingyuan, I see that Qingyue seems to be in a bad mood these days. You should take them back as soon as possible."
Jiang Mingyuan stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the old woman, frowning slightly, looking a little surprised.
The old woman continued: "The life here is simple, and it may be too different from the life in your city. Qingyue is a good girl, but everyone's adaptability is different. Look at her, I think she may still be used to the county town life."
Jiang Mingyuan listened to the old woman's words, his brows furrowed, and there was a trace of confusion on his face.
He did not expect that Shen Qingyue would feel uncomfortable because of the living environment here.
In his opinion, the tranquility here should be a relaxing and pleasant experience.
His voice was low, with a hint of dissatisfaction: "I thought the environment here would make her feel relaxed, but I didn't expect that she would feel uncomfortable."
The old woman looked at Jiang Mingyuan tenderly, with a sense of relief in her tone: "Mingyuan, everyone's feelings are different. Maybe Qingyue is more accustomed to city life. Although it is quiet here, the living conditions are indeed relatively simple. Don't Blame her."
The old woman smiled and patted Jiang Mingyuan on the shoulder: "You are a good husband and a good father. The happiness of your family is the most important. You can come again in the future, don't worry."
Jiang Mingyuan listened to the old woman's words, and a trace of reflection flashed in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, with a thoughtful attitude in his tone: "You are right, everyone's feelings and adaptability are indeed different. I should consider Qingyue's feelings more."
His eyes softened and seemed more considerate: "If this is the case, then we can only go back early and wait until we have time to visit you again."
The old woman looked at Jiang Mingyuan, her eyes full of warmth.
She nodded gently and said with a smile: "Mingyuan, you are a sensible child."
Jiang Mingyuan smiled softly.
Early the next morning, Jiang Mingyuan began to prepare to take Shen Qingyue and Dongdong to leave the old man's home. The three of them went to say goodbye to their benefactor and his wife.
"Daddy, we plan to go back today."
There was a hint of regret in Jiang Mingyuan's tone, but it was more of respect for the old man.
The old man listened and showed an understanding smile: "Mingyuan, we are very happy that you are here. If the family needs anything, you are welcome to come back at any time."
Shen Qingyue also smiled and expressed her gratitude to the old man, and said with a smile: "Godfather, thank you for taking care of you these days and disturbing you for so many days."
The old woman came over and looked at Shen Qingyue with concern.
