Chapter: 2403

For instance, the mouth of a member of the Du family is like an open treasure chest.

As for eating snacks, the mouth of each family member is one notch better than the other.

The steamed buns from that bakery are something they've enjoyed for ten years without getting tired of. However, as soon as someone changes to a slightly inferior baker's goods, no matter how slight the difference, they would find it hard to swallow.

Du's old man has never had any bad habits except for loving to smoke.

He especially loves the cigarettes produced by a certain factory in Dan nan.

After smoking for 20 years, the factory's craftsmanship and production line have been improved, upgraded, and changed with new cigarette paper and filter mouth materials.

Everyone feels that after improvements, it's even more refined and high-end than before, with only a slight difference in taste, but Du's old man just can't accept the taste. As a result, he even fell ill once.

Later, when his subordinates from back then heard that Du's old man was hospitalized, they specially came to visit.

When asked about the cause of illness, they found out that it was because Du's old man had developed heart disease due to smoking for 20 years. He simply called up that cigarette factory and asked them to reopen the old production line just for him, which has since cured his heart sickness.

However, Du's old man also felt guilty about using special privileges and specifically instructed his business-oriented second son, Du Haiyang, to run to the cigarette factory, investigate all the costs of reopening the production line, and then cover everything out of pocket. This is considered a justified acceptance of this privilege.

In fact, Du's family members have all inherited his pursuit of excellence.

The more one pursues excellence, the more refined their lives become.

So, one's family not only has high education and strong abilities but also upholds traditional Chinese virtues such as being warm-hearted, courteous, thrifty, and gentle.

At this moment, the Du family is seated around the dinner table, savoring braised meat while enjoying fine wine. The eight people are chatting with great enthusiasm, looking very happy.

Initially, everyone was still worried about Du Haiqing's mood being quite low.

But nobody expected that Du Haiqing's entire state was extremely relaxed and comfortable.

Everyone around her is a close relative, and they can all see that this relaxation isn't an act, so they're all letting their guard down as well.

The old couple's mood is particularly good. Over the years, six children have gotten married one by one, and no matter which one you look at, they've all lived very well, even to the point of having nothing to complain about. But they've always pitied Du Haiqing.

This is mainly because they've known for many years that Du Haiqing has deeply loved Ye Changying without reciprocation. After Ye Changying got married later on, she decided to marry Su Shoudao, which was an impulsive and reckless decision.

The day before Du Haiqing left, she cried all night with her grandmother, while her sister Du Hailin and younger sister Du Haimei were by her side, each one also feeling sad.

At that time, the three of them pitied her together and tried to persuade her to reconsider, but she refused to give in.

After getting married for so many years, Su Shoudao loved Du Haiqing very much, but only people at home could see that she's actually never been very happy.

Especially after Ye Changying's sudden death, she became even more quiet and withdrawn, occasionally fasting and chanting Buddhism, becoming a reclusive hermit at home.

However, now everyone can see that Du Haiqing is truly liberated.

Du Zhenhua thought about Du Haiqing going to Jinling and opened his mouth to ask, "Haiqing, how long do you plan to stay in Jinling this time?" JrNovels.com
