The longed-for village system

Chapter 61 A Straight Man with High Emotional Intelligence

Qin'er knew that Teacher He was eloquent and had high emotional intelligence; she had personally experienced it when she participated in Happy Camp, so she wasn't surprised by Teacher He's advice.

However, she was somewhat surprised by Chen Qing's words of comfort. After watching the previous live stream, she felt that Chen Qing was very talented in creating songs, and that his songs were all popular and well-received. She did not expect him to be so good at comforting people as well.

A man with exceptional talent and high emotional intelligence—no wonder Zhao Xiaodao fell for him in just a few days, and even Zhao Xiaodao's own feelings for him increased considerably.

It's not surprising that Li Qin'er felt this way. This matter had been a huge burden on her mind, and now that Chen Qing had helped her remove it, her goodwill towards Chen Qing would naturally increase.

Teacher Huang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Qin'er's mood had improved. He was most afraid of girls crying, and at the same time, he was slightly surprised by Chen Qing's emotional intelligence.

It wasn't Teacher He who spoke up to comfort Li Qin'er first, but Chen Qing, and he immediately addressed the problem. It's clear that children raised in this environment tend to have higher problem-solving skills and emotional intelligence.

"Xiao Chen and Teacher He are right. Sometimes we can't do well in a certain task or position, so we should do our best in the task at hand. Only by doing our best in the task at hand can we help us fulfill our regrets."

Huang Shi also concluded that sometimes giving up is not necessarily a bad thing; on the contrary, you may gain more.

Take Li Qin'er's case as an example. It's good to be a Kunqu Opera performer, but in terms of dissemination, it certainly doesn't have the same influence as her current status as an actress. That's an indisputable fact.

After this whole ordeal, everyone lost interest in singing. They checked the time and decided to go to the rubber plantation to collect the rubber they had harvested during the day.

Huang Shi was quite interested in this project. He was very interested after hearing their description during the day. Since he couldn't go out during the day, he could only go out at night, so he chose to take a trip to the rubber forest.

"Alright then! I'll go with Teacher Huang, Peng Peng, and Da Linzi. You can leave the house to Xiao Chen, Qin Qin, and your sister to tidy up." Teacher He smiled and made the arrangements after seeing her friend's actions.

Of course, everyone nodded in agreement with Teacher He's arrangement. After seeing the group off from the Mushroom House, the three of them got up and began to clean up the leftover food on the table.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

After seeing her younger sister bring the bowls and chopsticks into the room, Li Qin'er came to Chen Qing's side, tidying up while whispering her thanks to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was taken aback when he heard Li Qin'er's voice, not because of her thanks, but because of how she addressed him.

"Brother Chen!" He was a typical '94 guy, and Li Qin'er was born in '90, so why was she calling him "brother"? He was trying to comfort her, and this woman was cursing him. "No, no, you can't do that. I'm still young! I'm four years younger than you, you're my older sister."

Upon hearing Chen Qing's answer, Li Qin'er froze on the spot, her hands stopping moving. She felt that she had judged Chen Qing too soon.

This man has no emotional intelligence whatsoever; he's practically a hopeless case of terminal male chauvinism.

I was using a respectful term of address for him, and even if I were older than him, I shouldn't say it like that! It's as if I'm a full twelve years older than him. Doesn't he know that women are extremely sensitive about age?
As expected, birds of a feather flock together. Just like Zhao Xiaodao, his finishing ability is also at its maximum.

"I said it's a shame you two aren't together. Can't you put your knife away a little? And if I told Xiao Gu what you said, guess what you'd do?"

Li Qin'er said she should give Chen Qing a good talking-to, otherwise, with his straight-laced personality, she doesn't know when her sisters will ever get to first base.

Chen Qing wisely kept quiet after Li Qin'er's reminder. He couldn't understand or bear the terrifying obsession women had with age.

He wasn't afraid of Zhao Xiaogu; even if Zhao Xiaodao were here, he would still be a man who dared to confront her head-on. It's just that a man should be magnanimous and not argue with a woman.

"I didn't mean anything by it. I just meant that we should be considered friends now. Besides, I was just saying a few words. You're the one who resolved your inner conflict."

Seeing Chen Qing immediately back down, Li Qin'er recalled a scene where someone else backed down, and said with a smile in a low voice, "I've discovered that you two are exactly the same. You have the sharpest knives, but you do the most cowardly things. You're all all bark and no bite."

"Really? So we became friends very quickly."

"is it?"

Seeing the amused smile on Li Qin'er's face, Chen Qing knew what she meant, but this was not something he could answer right now, nor was it just his business, so he chose to remain silent.

Just then, Zhang Zifeng, the younger sister, came out of the kitchen and saw the two of them standing side by side, seemingly talking about something. She interrupted, "Brother Chen, Sister Qinqin, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, we just chatted for a bit," Chen Qing replied, immediately changing the subject. He then said to his younger sister who had come forward, "Sister, go take a shower! I can take care of things here."
