Han Zhe's mother is a living example. Her family background is not bad. She was born into a powerful family in Kyoto. Her family's power was only one level lower than the Han family at that time. But she herself has a bad temper, is selfish, aloof and arrogant, vain and competitive, easily influenced and brainless, and finally caused great harm to the Han family.
When the incident happened, Han Zhe and his two siblings were all quite old, especially Han Zhe, who was in the sensitive period of adolescence and witnessed with his own eyes how his mother colluded with outsiders to harm the family.
He never said it and never wanted to mention his mother over the years, but Li Suyao knew that he hated his mother in his heart. Fortunately, the other members of the Han family had always paid attention to and taken care of the three siblings' physical and mental health, so they did not grow up in a bad way and their personalities did not resemble their mother.
She had talked to her eldest brother Han Zhangjiang before. He didn't have too many requirements for his nephew's marriage. He only required that the woman have good character and that they could respect and love each other.
Han Zhe himself does not have too many requirements for his future partner. His ideas are consistent with those of his elders. As long as the person has good character and can support and respect his career, that's enough.
After all the dishes were served, Mr. Han smiled and said, "Huaying, Jiang Yuan, you two have worked hard today."
"It's grandma who has worked hard, we are just helping out."
"Huaying, Xiao Jiang, come, sit over here."
Li Suyao arranged seats for them and shared some heated soy milk with them. "I'm sorry to have made so many dumplings and dishes for lunch today. You must be tired. Come sit down and eat."
After saying that, he gave his nephew a task: "Zhezi, this is Xiao Jiang's first time visiting our home. She isn't familiar with the others yet. You should get to know her better and invite her to eat."
Han Zhe didn't think much about it, nodded in response, and casually opened the cap of the soy milk bottle and handed it to Jiang Yuan, "It's still a little hot, try it."
"Brother Zhe, thank you." Jiang Yuan smiled.
Han Zhe saw the beautiful and generous smile on her face, his eyes flashed, he turned his head slightly and asked her: "Do you like seafood?"
There were many dishes on the table that Jiang Yuan had never seen before. She had only eaten kelp, seaweed, shrimp, and cuttlefish in the seafood category, and nothing else. She felt a little embarrassed: "I haven't eaten most of these seafood before, so I don't know what they taste like."
"Try everything."
Han Zhe picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish for her, and introduced it to her: "This is hairtail fish. The taste of sea fish is slightly different from that of freshwater fish. Try one first."
There were only seven people sitting at their table, Han Zheng and Yun Huaying, Han Zhe and Jiang Yuan, and Yun Jingmo and his sister. Han Zhe was inviting Jiang Yuan to eat, and Han Zheng was also constantly serving food to Yun Huaying. Of course, he also invited his cousins, both brothers and sisters.
All the seafood on the table today was bought by Li Suyao early in the morning. The family doesn’t usually buy seafood, but today there is a new daughter-in-law coming home, and there are also relatives and guests coming to play, so naturally they have to use the most sumptuous dishes to entertain them.
Although she bought it, she didn't know how to cook it, and Grandma Han wasn't very good at it either. All of these seafood were cooked by Yun Huaying herself.
There were two large plates of sea crabs on the table, one steamed and one spicy. Yun Huaying had never eaten sea crabs since she came here, so she grabbed the spicy crabs in both hands and started eating them happily.
Seeing that she liked to eat crabs, Han Zheng picked up a steamed one and helped her peel it. "Tomorrow is the Little New Year. I'll go find someone to buy some more seafood."
"Is seafood easy to buy?" Yun Huaying asked him.
"There are several cities near the sea here, and fresh seafood is often delivered to Jinling. As long as you go early, you can still buy fresh and good products."
“Buy more.”
Yun Huaying likes seafood and wants to prepare more dishes for the New Year. She discussed with him: "After dinner, I will invite the elders to come to our place to celebrate the Little New Year tomorrow night."
"Huaying, Dad has just invited everyone." Yun Chaoyan told her.
"Oh, okay, then let's go buy groceries early tomorrow morning."
Seeing that he wasn't eating and was only busy peeling the shells for himself, Yun Huaying asked with a smile, "Don't you like seafood?"
"It's just so-so. Brother Zhe and I tend to prefer salty and spicy food. We don't really like this kind of light-flavored dish."
Han Zheng didn't stay in Jinling for long. He joined the Southwest Army at the age of sixteen and was later transferred to Kyoto. He was actually not picky about food, but he relatively liked spicy food.
Seeing that he didn't like seafood, Yun Huaying picked up some twice-cooked pork for him and said, "I'll make you braised pork trotters and braised pork with pork belly tomorrow."
Han Zheng's mouth curled up. He liked the food she cooked. The spicy flavor suited his taste. Every time she cooked these two dishes, he would eat an extra bowl of rice.
The elders at the table were drinking and eating slowly, while the younger generations ate as fast as they could, clearing the table full of food in less than twenty minutes.
Seeing that they had finished eating, Li Suyao called to her son, "Zhengzi, you and Zhezi can go outside with Huaying, Jingmo and the others. Let Xiaolin take care of clearing the table."
"good."
Yun Huaying and the others just wanted to go inside the military area to take a look. She hadn't been to other places the last time she came here, so this time, accompanied by her two brothers, she went for a walk to digest her food.
Most of the neighbors had finished their meals. When they saw a group of young men and women coming out, someone asked with a smile, "Han Zheng, I heard you went to get your marriage certificate today. When are you having your wedding?"
"Grandma Wu, the wedding date hasn't been set yet. It will be in the second half of next year at the earliest."
Han Zheng walked forward with Yun Huaying in his arms, introducing her with a smile: "Huaying, this is Grandma Wu, Commander Wu's mother."
"Hello, Grandma Wu." Yun Huaying greeted politely.
"What a pretty lesbian."
Grandma Wu hadn't seen her last time, but she had heard from other neighbors that Han Zheng's girlfriend was very beautiful. When she saw her this time, her eyes sparkled. Noting that the young man and woman following her were all very handsome and beautiful, she asked, "Han Zheng, are these your wife's brothers and sisters?"
"My wife is an only child, and these three are cousins."
Yun Jingmo and his two siblings also came over and politely called out, "Hello, Grandma Wu."
"Hello, you three brothers and sisters are so handsome. Are you dating?" When Grandma Wu's generation sees outstanding young comrades, they usually want to act as matchmakers.
Before Yun Jingmo and the other two could answer, Han Zheng spoke first: "My cousin and cousin are already in relationships, and my cousin is still young and is studying."
He came out and lied, and Yun Jingmo and the others just smiled in agreement.
Since they were dating, Grandma Wu didn't bother to talk to them anymore. She just exchanged a few simple greetings with them and then said nothing more.
Jiang Yuan stood behind them and saw that everyone was staring at them. She immediately pulled up her scarf to cover her face and said to Han Zhe beside her with a smile, "It seems that the elders have the same hobby. When they see young and marriageable people, they like to act as matchmakers. The elders in the production team do this, and the elders in the military compound do this too."
