Grandma Han nodded slightly, with some guesses in her mind, and stopped asking Yun Huaying about her family affairs. Now she looked at her with a kind look but also a bit of heartache: "Can I call you Huaying?"
"Okay." Yun Huaying nodded.
"Huaying, our Han family has received many favors from the Yun family. My second and third siblings contracted malaria when they were young, and it was thanks to your grandfather that they were cured. I also had some friendship with your grandmother. We wouldn't call it a close friendship, but we did have a revolutionary friendship. Your grandmother was a kind, virtuous, and philanthropic woman. It's a pity that good people don't get a good ending."
"Now your grandparents are gone, your mother is gone too, and your only relatives, your uncle and aunt, are no longer around. If you don't mind, you can treat us as your real grandparents."
Yun Huaying was somewhat flattered by her elders' words. "Grandma Han, please don't say that. I'm already incredibly grateful for your and Grandpa Han's approval, and I wouldn't dare ask for anything more. The Yun family's affairs are a long story, and many people are involved. I can't be so selfish as to cause you more trouble."
Hearing her words, Grandma Han confirmed her suspicions. She took her hand and said solemnly, "Child, your Grandpa Han and I have come through a hail of bullets and are not afraid of anything."
"Grandma Han, I thank you on behalf of myself and the Yun family."
"My grandfather's treatment of Uncle Han and Aunt Han was his duty as a doctor. It can't be considered a favor."
"I also know that the two elders are revolutionary heroes with a sense of justice, but things are not clear and bright now. Grandpa Han has told me what happened to the Yun family back then, which has been a great help to me. I can't cause you any more trouble, nor can I make the Han family suffer any more."
While she was speaking, Grandma Han was looking at her carefully. Although her appearance and facial features were largely the same as her grandmother's, her temperament and charm were completely different.
Seeing that she had her own opinions and principles on this matter and insisted on not causing trouble for the Han family, Grandma Han sighed: "You, child, are worthy of being the blood of the Yun family. You have the pride of your Yun family."
Yun Huaying raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes firm and confident. "Grandma Han, thank you for your compliment. I am a descendant of the Yun family, and my grandfather and mother have taught me diligently since I was a child. I will not disgrace the Yun family's integrity."
"I may be alone and weak now, and trapped in this rural village and unable to leave for the time being, but I believe that in the future I will be able to avenge the fallen relatives of the Yun family and make those vicious people get the retribution they deserve."
Seeing her confident face and the determined light in her eyes, Grandma Han seemed to see herself in her youth and was deeply moved: "Good child, your grandparents and mother are watching from heaven. They will definitely be pleased to have such an outstanding and determined younger generation like you."
Grandma Han wanted to talk to her again, but when she saw that everyone around her was not working and was craning their necks to listen to them, she was afraid that they would be delayed from working, so she quickly said, "Huaying, you guys go back to work and we'll talk later."
"Okay." Yun Huaying nodded.
"Huaying, don't go home to cook at noon. Come to our house for dinner later."
Grandma Han took to the child immediately and wanted to create some opportunities for her grandson. She smiled and invited him, "I heard that Zhengzi often comes to your place to eat, and my old man often comes along. We even ate the dumplings you made last night. Grandma Han will cook two of her specialties for lunch today. You, Jiang Yuan, and Lin Shan, come over and try Grandma's cooking."
Yun Huaying didn't refuse the elders' invitation and readily responded on behalf of the three people: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It's just plain food, not hard work."
Grandma Han was all smiles, and her eyes were filled with satisfaction as she looked at her. Her precious grandson had really good taste, and she had to help bring such a beautiful and outstanding girl back to the Han family to be her grandson's wife.
In the past, she really wanted to bring Yun Jinghong back home to be her daughter-in-law, but unfortunately, something happened to the Yun family and they left Kyoto, and she also lost contact with her old friends in Kyoto.
The last time she saw Yun Jinghong, she was still a child in her teens, crying inconsolably at her mother's funeral. She never expected that this would be their final farewell. Thinking that she was gone at such a young age, she felt very sad and heartbroken.
Thinking about the Yun family's former glory and how their child now had to do farm work, Grandma Han felt very heavy-hearted and no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery. She frowned and said, "Let's go back. Tell me about this child's family situation when we get home."
After that, he turned to Han Zheng and said, "Zhengzi, are there any dishes at home?"
"Grandma, there's still meat and ribs at home."
Han Zheng went to the county town to buy it yesterday. Many people in the team saw it. There was also a lot of game, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that there were meat dishes to entertain the guests, Grandma Han didn't let him go to the county town to buy them. She said, "You go and help Huaying and the others with their work. Your grandfather and I will go back first. Come back for dinner after you finish work."
"good."
After they left, Han Zheng immediately went over to help.
He was a good worker with great strength. One blow from his hoe was equivalent to the combined strength of three female comrades. With his help, they finished their morning work half an hour earlier.
The scorekeeper came over to check, recorded the work points, and waved to them: "The educated youth team, please call it a day."
After finishing work, the three of them went back home first, washed up briefly, and then went to visit the Han family.
The aroma of food was already wafting from the Han family's kitchen. The three of them politely went over to greet the elders: "Grandpa Han, Grandma Han, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard."
Grandma Han was cooking. Seeing them coming, she called out, "Zhezi, move the stools out so Huaying and the others can sit down and rest. Give them the candied fruit candies we brought yesterday."
"Brother Han, you don't need to take the candy. Save it for the elders." Jiang Yuan smiled and declined.
Han Zhe curled his lips and said, "I brought some specialties from Gangcheng. Please have some."
None of the three of them took more than they needed. Each of them only took a piece of uneaten crispy candy, and none of the expensive candied fruits were taken.
Seeing that they didn't want to take it, Han Zhe didn't force them and went to the kitchen to make them a cup of tea.
Han Zheng had just gone to fetch water from the well. The three of them were bored sitting here, so Jiang Yuan took the initiative to talk to Han Zhe: "Brother Han, I heard that you are also a soldier in the army. Are you in Gangcheng?"
"No, I'm in the Jinling Military Region."
"oh."
They were actually very curious about what was going on in the army, but they also knew not to ask too much. Jiang Yuan changed the subject again: "Brother Han, how many years are there between you and Brother Han?"
"We're over two years old. We're cousins. I'm the eldest grandson of the Han family, and he's the third oldest. He has an older brother, so the three of us are very close in age. Zhengzi also has a pair of twin siblings, a boy and a girl. They're 18 years old this year, the same age as you. I also have a pair of twin sisters, 16 years old this year, who study in Gangcheng and just started high school this year."
