After everyone got to know each other, Yun Shaofan immediately invited the guests into the house to sit down. Two large round tables had been set up in the living room, and dried fruits, cakes, and fruits were already prepared. The elders sat at one table, and the younger generations sat at another.
Yun Huaying had already taken out the good tea leaves and prepared them. Today she also chose a set of exquisite and elegant tea sets in a state-owned shopping mall. After Yun Chaoyan brewed the tea, she immediately brought the teacup and served it.
"Uncle, aunt, and auntie, have some tea."
"Huaying, thank you for your hard work."
Li Suyao only had eyes for her future daughter-in-law. Although she was chatting with Yun Shaofan and the others, she kept glancing at her.
"It's not hard." Yun Huaying smiled slightly, her manners graceful and generous. "I don't know what kind of tea my uncle, aunt, and aunt like to drink, so I chose some Da Hong Pao. I hope you like it."
"I like it. I like it."
Han Zhangping is usually very serious and stern when he is outside. But facing such a pretty and charming girl, he tried his best to restrain his aura, for fear of scaring away his future daughter-in-law.
Han Zheng watched and laughed, even deliberately teasing his father, "Huaying, there's no need to prepare such fine tea. We're all rough people, especially my dad. He can't tell the difference between good and bad tea. To him, these top-quality teas are no different from tree leaves from the mountains."
Han Zhangping: “…”
This son must have been picked up.
"Haha." Everyone else laughed.
Han Zhangping glared at his son. It was true that he was not very good at tasting tea, but that didn't mean he had never tasted good tea.
He picked up the cup of fine, dark tea, sniffed it gently, took a sip, and retorted, "Who said I don't know tea? I just don't usually put much thought into it. The tea Huaying prepared is delicious, mellow, and smooth. It tastes much better than the tea that Political Commissar Zhao usually treasures."
"This tea is really good. It tastes better than the Dahongpao I had before." Li Suyao and Han Bingyu, the sister-in-law, like to taste tea. They like the taste of this tea very much.
Seeing that they liked it, Yun Huaying's eyes also showed a smile. This was the tea she grew in the space. It tasted better than the most expensive rock tea outside. Her uncle liked to drink this tea very much. After brewing a cup and tasting it this afternoon, he immediately decided to use this tea to entertain the guests.
Han Zhe had been training all day and was already hungry. He sat down and ate an apple. When Yun Huaying came over, he took the initiative to talk to her: "Yun Zhiqing, I received a package from Jiang Yuan yesterday."
"Huh?" Yun Huaying was stunned. Did they have any private contact?
Han Zhe knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw her expression, and explained, "Last time, when you were going to create the second set of works, Jiang Yuan asked me about some things in the army, and said that she would mail me a copy after the works were published as a thank you gift."
Yun Huaying raised an eyebrow: "Has our second set of works been published?"
"You don't know yet?"
The package Han Zhe received yesterday contained two pictorial magazines. The first one described the appearance of educated youth, and the second one was based on the background of soldiers. In addition, Jiang Yuan also mailed him two cured rabbits, as well as soybean paste and pickles in glass bottles.
"I don't know. I took ten days off, and when I came out, I hadn't heard from the newspaper yet." Yun Huaying thought Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan must be very happy, and smiled slightly: "This time the review and publication was much faster than last time."
"You three are quite talented."
Han Zhe carefully looked at their paintings and writings. Their works have a unique style. The writings are short but full of philosophical and educational significance, which is more touching than those long articles.
"Thank you for the compliment." Yun Huaying accepted the praise generously.
"Zhezi, what work is it?" Li Suyao was listening to them and interrupted at the right time.
"Yun Zhiqing, her classmates, and Comrade Jiang Yuan jointly created a work that was published in the Cultural Pictorial. When I sent my grandmother to visit my grandfather, they were just about to create their second set of works about military personnel. Jiang Yuan asked me for some subject matter, and after the publication, she mailed me a copy."
"Oh my, what a published work! Huaying is really excellent."
Li Suyao liked everything about her. She was as beautiful as a fairy, with an elegant demeanor and manners like a lady from a noble family. She was a well-educated high school student, proficient in medicine, and could also paint. Her son said that she was very good at cooking and had excellent culinary skills. Such an outstanding girl is hard to find even with a lantern.
"These two sets of works were not created by me alone. My classmates Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan made greater contributions. They put in more effort than I did." Yun Huaying did not take all the credit for her achievements.
After she said this, Li Suyao was even more satisfied. She was so outstanding yet still humble and not greedy for credit. Such a character was rare and precious.
After drinking tea for a while, Yun Huaying thought everyone was hungry, so she went to make arrangements: "Uncle, the food is ready. Let's serve it now. You and Uncle Meng can have a drink with me, and we can chat while we eat at the table."
"Okay, serve the food."
Yun Huaying immediately went to the kitchen to serve the dishes, and Han Zheng followed closely to help. She didn't hesitate to be polite with him and said to him, "I just braised some more meat and pig intestines, and steamed a few more bowls of braised pork. You can take some home later."
She remembered that Han Zheng had complained about his mother's cooking skills before, and she also knew that everyone in his family was busy with work and basically never cooked at home. They usually ate three meals a day in the cafeteria, so she specially made some extra dishes he liked and asked him to pack them up to eat.
Han Zheng smiled and nodded, inviting her as well: "Huaying, we're leaving the day after tomorrow. Let's go to my house for dinner tomorrow night, okay?"
"Okay." Yun Huaying agreed readily.
She agreed, and a smile appeared on Han Zheng's brows, with the corners of his mouth stretched all the way to the back of his ears.
When he came out with two bowls of food, the Han brothers and sisters saw him laughing smugly. Jiao Junming couldn't help but say, "Brother Zheng, your smile is so scary. It makes my scalp tingle just looking at it."
"Hehe..." The others laughed silently.
Han Lin also said: "I now doubt whether this is my second brother."
Li Suyao glanced at her son with amusement. He had been following the girl happily since he entered the room, his eyes never leaving her. He usually had a stern face like his father, but now he was smiling like a flower. Even she, as a mother, doubted whether this was her son.
Han Zheng was so happy today that he couldn't help but smile. He put two bowls of the same dish on each table and grinned at his peers: "There's a table full of delicious food tonight. Eat more and keep your mouth shut."
What he served was braised pork trotters. The skin was red and the oil was sizzling, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
