Seeing that they had made arrangements, Han Lin took her second brother's arm, her eyes burning: "Second brother, can I come with you and have a free meal?"
"Of course." Han Zheng glanced at her with a smile.
"Add three more freeloaders."
Han Bingyu strode into the house carrying a bag, followed by her two children.
"Aunt." Han Zheng called out with a smile.
"Brother Zheng."
Jiao Junming and Jiao Minmin, who were walking behind him, were very happy to see him. They had known that he would be back today, and they rushed home immediately after work.
"Junming, Minmin." Han Zheng punched his cousin and also ruffled his cousin's hair into a mess.
The relationship between their brothers and sisters is very close. Even though they all have work now and cannot see each other for a long time, the affection between them has not diminished at all and is still as deep and close as when they were children.
Jiao Minmin looks like her mother, with a round face, a typical face of peace and prosperity. Her eyebrows and eyes are curved when she smiles, and she has a lively and cheerful personality. She chatters non-stop when she sees her cousin.
Han Bingyu had just gotten off work and gone out to buy a salted duck. She also bought some sugar-roasted chestnuts, plum blossom cakes, and pot stickers that her nephew liked. They were all still warm. Seeing her sister-in-law and the others packing up their meals, she immediately called out, "Xiaolin, go get a bowl. I packed the salted duck. Zhengzi must be hungry after his long journey. Let's talk while we eat."
After the food was served and everyone was seated, Han Bingyu repeated what she had said before: "Zhengzi, add three more people to the meal tomorrow night. We will prepare our own food and dishes."
"Aunt, I will buy it, you don't have to prepare it." Han Zheng said with a smile.
Han Bingyu picked up a piece of duck meat for him and smiled: "Okay, see what kind of vegetables Huaying likes to eat, go to the state-owned farmers' market to buy more, and we will buy her some Jinling pastries."
Seeing that his mother was eager to go immediately, Jiao Junming chuckled: "Mom, if so many of us go uninvited, and scare our future sister-in-law away, Brother Zheng will definitely come after you."
"No, no, I went to reminisce with Yun Shaofan, not to visit my future niece-in-law."
Han Bingyu still had some impression of Yun Shaofan, but her memory was a little vague. She only remembered that he was very handsome when he was a child.
Seeing that she had found a good excuse, Han Zheng smiled and said, "Uncle Yun and the others originally wanted to come to visit our home, but the situation is special now, so it's better not to show up here. I suggest we go over there. He has invited everyone to go together."
Han Zhangping had no objection and casually asked, "How many children does Shaofan have?"
"Three, two sons and one daughter. My eldest son, Yun Jingmo, is the same age as me. My daughter, Yun Chaoyan, is the same age as Huaying Xiaolin, but she's a few months older. My youngest son, Yunnan Xing, is 15 years old this year."
They ate and chatted at the same time. After the meal, Li Suyao asked her daughter to clean up the table. She immediately got up and went to the room to pack tomorrow's gifts.
She had a busy day tomorrow and didn't have time to prepare, so she had to prepare the gift in advance tonight.
Seeing his mother take out the two bottles of Moutai liquor that his father treasured, Han Zheng laughed softly: "Mom, don't bring these two bottles of liquor. I'll go buy two bottles outside."
"You buy with your heart, and we prepare with our heart."
Li Suyao brought over a bag to put the gifts in, and said to her husband with a smile, "Old Han, Yun Shaofan is your childhood playmate and your future in-law. Don't be reluctant to part with these two bottles of wine. No matter how good the wine is, it can't be as good as your daughter-in-law."
Han Zhangping: "...How could I be reluctant to part with these two bottles of wine? I originally left them here specifically to entertain my future in-laws."
Li Suyao had no idea of his plan before. No wonder other military district leaders came over and clamored to drink the two bottles of wine. He refused to agree and said to his son with a smile, "Zhengzi, did you hear that? Mom and Dad are looking forward to you bringing the girl home soon. You just need to be responsible for wooing Huaying quickly, and Mom and Dad will take care of everything else."
"Mom also promises you that there will never be such a thing as a bad relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in our family. Mom and Dad treat you three siblings, as well as other cousins, equally."
"We will like whoever you like and respect your ideas as young people. We will never interfere in your lives."
Han Zheng knew that his mother was not just talking, but could really do it.
His mother's ability to deal with people and things is praised and recognized by everyone in the circle. She is also deeply praised and loved by her grandparents. The younger generations in the family also respect and are filial to her. Even her aunt treats her like a real sister. In the future, when her daughter-in-law and son-in-law join the big family, she will definitely be able to handle family relationships well.
"Mom, Huaying has a very good personality. She is a person who appears cold on the outside but is warm on the inside. She is also very smart, insightful and capable. You will definitely get along with her." Han Zheng was very sure of this.
Hearing him say this, Li Suyao wanted to meet her future daughter-in-law even more quickly. She turned around, took out a pen and paper from the cabinet, and directly made him a list.
"Zhengzi, your dad has a meeting tomorrow, and Mom also has to attend a commendation meeting. We won't be home until 5:30. Go buy these things during the day, and we'll go over as soon as your aunt and the others get off work."
"good."
Han Zheng took a look at it and put it in his pocket.
My sister-in-law prepared a lot of gifts. Han Bingyu sat for a while and then took her children home to pack and prepare.
On the other side, the Yun family members were taking a bath one by one. Yun Huaying hadn't taken a proper bath since she left home. For her, who paid great attention to health and hygiene, she had been patient to the extreme. She carried two full buckets of warm water into the bathroom to wash.
When she came out with the dirty clothes, Li Shutong was sitting by the well, scrubbing the clothes. "Huaying, put your dirty clothes here, and your aunt will wash them for you."
"Aunt, I can wash it myself."
Yun Huaying was very capable of taking care of herself and didn't want to burden her elders. Seeing that there were not many clothes in her basin, she said, "Aunt, after you finish washing these, go to bed early. You are not in good health, so don't overwork yourself."
"My aunt can't do heavy physical work now. She can only do some housework at home. Washing clothes is not tiring. I can do it."
Li Shutong was seriously injured and bedridden for nearly two months. Without timely treatment and good medicine, her health deteriorated drastically and she is now far weaker than before. But seeing her husband and children toiling away at work, she struggled to help with the chores she could. Once she felt a little better, she volunteered to clean the cowshed and pigsty, helping to earn some work points.
"Aunt, you don't have to work now. Let Brother Jingmo and the others do the housework. The most important thing for you is to take care of your body."
Yun Huaying had checked her pulse on the train before. She found no serious illness. It was just that she hadn't properly taken care of herself after the injury, which had left a root cause of the disease. With proper care later on, she could gradually make up for it. She also made arrangements: "Aunt, I'll write a prescription and go to the pharmacy to get some medicine tomorrow. I'll give you the pills you carry with you. Take the medicine on time in the future. You'll see significant improvement in three to five months."
Li Shutong had never seen her treat patients or prescribe medicine, but her father-in-law was a very skilled doctor when he was alive. She had been learning from him since she was a child, so she should have learned the basics. She responded without hesitation, "Okay, I will take the medicine on time."
