While they were having dinner, Han Zhe had already taken several buses back to Jinling. He did not stay in the house assigned by the army tonight, but went directly to his second uncle's house with his luggage.
"Second uncle, second aunt, I'm back."
Han Zhangping and his wife had received the telegram he sent back in advance and knew he would be back today. They usually ate in the company cafeteria. It happened that his younger sister Han Bingyu was on vacation today, so she bought some meat early in the morning and they all started making dumplings together at home.
Han Zheng's older brother is in the Air Force, his younger brother is studying at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and among his four siblings, only his younger sister Han Lin is at home. He also has two cousins from his aunt's family who work locally, and they all get together for dinner in the evening.
Han Lin went over to open the door for him and said with a smile, "Brother Zhe."
Seeing that her hands were covered with flour and she was wearing an apron, Han Zhe raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Making dumplings to welcome you back."
Their family only knows how to make dumplings, and only the aunt is good at making dumplings. Today's dumpling-making party was organized by the aunt, and the rest of them were just helping out.
Han Zhe entered the house carrying his luggage. He called a circle of elders and took the initiative to report the most concerned matter to everyone: "Grandpa is in good health. He only has kidney stones that occur every two or three years. He doesn't have any other problems. This time, Zhengzi had a relapse a few days after he passed away. The symptoms were mild. He went to the hospital and got medicine in time. The pain only lasted for half a day and he was gone. Grandma is also in good health. I sent her to Yang County and stayed with them there for two days before coming here."
"As long as you're healthy."
Han Zhangping felt relieved and personally poured a cup of tea for his nephew. He then asked about his son, "Where's Zhengzi? He wrote before saying he hadn't decided on a job yet. It's been over half a month now. Any news?"
"The results hadn't come down yet when I left."
Han Zhe took the tea and drank it in one gulp. Thinking about his cousin, he raised an unusual smile: “Second uncle, second aunt, I have good news for you.”
"What good news?" Han Zhangping and Li Suyao looked at him together.
"Zhengzi has fallen in love with a girl and is pursuing her with all his might."
"ah?"
Everyone in the living room looked surprised.
Li Suyao stood up in surprise, "Zhezi, really?"
"real."
Han Zhe always had a faint smile on his face in front of his family. "That girl is from Jing County. Zhengzi went to Jing County before going to Yang County and met her there. When he learned that she was going to Yang County to work in the countryside, he immediately followed her and introduced her to the production team where my grandfather worked. Now he follows her around every day, and he only has eyes for her."
"Is this true?"
Everyone else expressed doubt. Their third son, Han Zheng, was usually a cold and taciturn person. Was he really the one chasing after the lesbian?
"Really, I didn't lie to you."
Han Zhe understood their suspicion. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have had doubts too. He then told them: "Second uncle, aunt, you should know the elders of this girl's family. Her grandparents know her grandparents."
"Oh?" Han Zhangping and Han Bingyu became interested and asked in unison, "Whose child is it?"
"Her surname is Yun. Her grandfather is Yun Qing and her grandmother is Ruan Fengyi. They said that when you were infected with malaria as children, it was them who saved you."
"Is she Doctor Yun's granddaughter?"
Han Bingyu was pleasantly surprised. She remembered Yun Qing and his wife. Although it had been a long time, she vaguely remembered that Aunt Ruan was very beautiful and had the temperament of a lady from a noble family. It was a pity that she passed away at such a young age.
"Yes, her name is Yun Huaying, and her mother's name is Yun Jinghong. She is very beautiful, and grandma said that her looks are from her mother and grandma."
Han Zhangping also had some memories of the Yun family in his mind. As he recalled, he said, "The Yun family has a pair of children. Yun Jinghong also has an older brother who is about the same age as me. We played together when we were young."
"Yes, Yun Huaying also has an uncle, I think his name is Yun Shaofan."
"Yes, yes, his name is Shao Fan."
Han Zhangping remembered, and thinking that his son's old iron tree had blossomed, he smiled: "Zhengzi followed the woman happily, did she respond to him?"
"I heard from grandpa that Zhengzi has confessed his feelings to her, but she hasn't agreed yet, mainly because of family reasons." Han Zhe then told them the details of the Yun family's situation.
Upon hearing that Yun Qing and Yun Jinghong, father and daughter, were both dead, and that they had let a wolf into their home and were killed, Han Zhangping and his sister changed their expressions and had some guesses in their minds.
Seeing that the brother and sister were silent, Li Suyao, who didn't know much about the Yun family's past, asked, "Zhang Ping, Bing Yu, you should all know about the Yun family's past, right?"
"Know."
Han Bingyu nodded. The children in the family were already quite old, and what happened in the Yun family back then was no secret, so she told them about Ruan Fengyi being forced to commit suicide.
After hearing this, they all understood. Li Suyao frowned and said, "In other words, the death of the Yun family father and daughter is most likely related to that incident."
"That family turned their fortunes around ten years ago."
Han Bingyu's gentle face wore a serious expression, her gaze somewhat cold as she continued, "The Liang family turned things around ten years ago. In order to regain power, they were eager to demonstrate their achievements in front of certain people. Their actions in the past few years were overly radical and ruthless, affecting the interests of many people and earning them resentment. The Liang family was highly respected in the past few years, but they were subsequently suppressed by a joint retaliation from several companies. In the past two years, they have been much more low-key."
"Aunt, why are you paying attention to this family?" Han Zhe asked her.
"I haven't paid attention to them. In June, someone from higher-ups came to Jinling to inspect our work, and they happened to come to our hospital. This person was none other than the Liang family's son-in-law. I didn't know him, and I'd never met him before. I only learned of his identity and background through private conversations with the dean and secretary, and it was from them that I learned about the Liang family's recent situation."
Li Suyao thought her son was attracted to the girl, but the family situation of the girl he liked was complicated, and his parents-in-law should know about it. So she asked him, "Zhezi, what do your parents think about the Yun family?"
"Yun Huaying is an outstanding individual. Her grandparents admire her very much and have asked Zhengzi to help her."
Li Suyao understood that her parents-in-law had approved of this girl, and in order to help Zhengzi marry the beauty, they were willing to use their connections to help her take revenge.
She knew her parents-in-law's personalities very well, and she also knew that they both had very high standards. Ordinary girls would not be in their eyes. This younger generation of the Yun family must be very outstanding to be recognized by them.
As for other matters, I believe my parents-in-law know what they are doing, and they just need to be obedient as the younger generation.
