As soon as Lin Shan finished speaking, Yun Huaying nudged her with her elbow and gave her a look.
Lin Shan reacted and quickly apologized: "Brother Han, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked so much. You thought I didn't say anything just now."
"fine."
Han Zheng twitched his lips. He had just filled another bowl of rice when he told them about his family's situation. "My family's situation is quite unique. My grandfather is a veteran revolutionary. Eight years ago, my aunt maliciously falsely accused him of a crime, but it was ultimately determined to be a false accusation. The situation was unique and complicated at the time. My grandfather was certain someone was using my aunt to target our family. To protect the jobs of the rest of his family, he took the initiative to settle down here and avoid the spotlight."
He didn't give a detailed introduction and spoke very simply, but everyone could hear that their family was ruined by the bad apple of their aunt.
"It seems that every family has its own problems." Lin Shan sighed.
Yun Huaying had long guessed that their family situation must be complicated, and she estimated that the identity of the old man of the Han family was not simple either. She asked out of curiosity, "Your grandfather was not convicted, so was your aunt punished?"
Han Zheng's eyes flashed with a subtle sneer: "She is a gun in the hands of others. Even if it is a false accusation, in the end, she will only receive a few words of advice without any pain."
"Your aunt is so stupid. She did this to her own family. I think her reputation in the circle has been ruined. Who would dare to associate with her in the future?"
Lin Shan couldn't understand the train of thought of such a person. If there was such a person around her, she would definitely avoid him like the plague and would never associate with him again. After all, no one knew when he would plot against her again.
Han Zheng was about to say something when footsteps were heard. Everyone turned their heads to look and saw that it was Zhao Xuelin who came with a baby in his arms. It was his little daughter Qiaoqiao.
"Still eating."
Zhao Xuelin strode over and saw three large bowls of food on the table, including fish, eggs and two meat dishes. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The food is good."
"Have you eaten?" Han Zheng stood up.
"I've eaten." Zhao Xuelin sat down on the bench that Jiang Yuan brought over and looked at him with a smile: "You can leave your grandfather at home and eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks here. You can do it too."
"I just sent the food back."
Han Zheng replied, and seeing Zhao Qiaoqiao's pair of black eyes staring at her, he reached out and gently pinched her little face.
Yun Huaying had finished eating. She stood up and went back to her room to get an orange and two candies. She gave the orange to the captain and the candies to the little girl. She stared at his daughter and said, "Captain, your daughter has copied and pasted your beauty. In the future, don't just focus on keeping yourself pure. Protect your daughter as well."
Zhao Xuelin: “…”
"Haha." Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan slammed the table and laughed.
Han Zheng, who is usually quite serious in front of outsiders, also laughed, but he didn't laugh out loud. However, he looked at Zhao Xuelin with a playful look.
Zhao Xuelin didn't know whether to laugh or not. Among the three new female educated youth, Yun Huaying was the most beautiful, but he also believed that she had the coldest personality. He didn't expect that she was also very sharp-tongued.
"Daddy, sugar."
Zhao Qiaoqiao was over one year old and didn’t understand what the adults were saying. All she had eyes for was candy, and her round eyes were fixed on the candy in his hand.
Zhao Xuelin held her and sat down on the bench. He took one for her to eat and put the other in his pocket: "One for you and one for your brother."
Lin Shan and the other three female comrades had finished their meals, but there were still some dishes in their bowls. Yun Huaying scooped up all the remaining rice from the pot and piled it into Han Zheng's bowl. "We're all full, the rest is yours."
Men have big appetites, and the dishes tonight were delicious. Seeing that they had all put down their bowls and chopsticks, Han Zheng didn't hesitate to clean up the mess and said to Zhao Xuelin, "What's the matter with you coming here?"
"Comrade Lin Shan mentioned earlier that she needed a winnowing basket or something. Old Wang's family has some ready-made. Uncle Wang told you to come get them anytime. I'm here to pass on a message."
Although Zhao Xuelin was answering him, he was also speaking to the three female educated youth. He pointed in the direction of Lao Wang's house and gave directions to Lin Shan: "Turn around the road next to the educated youth station and walk about a hundred or two hundred meters. There's a house with a jujube tree at the door. They have a lot of bamboo weaving products ready. Go and take your pick."
"Okay, we'll get it later."
Lin Shan met the team leader's wife, Lin Xiaolan, on the way back from work and asked her to help find out.
Han Zheng ate as fast as charging into battle. In no time, he had finished all the food, leaving not a single grain of rice. He also took the initiative to help clean up the dishes and sent them to the kitchen.
Zhao Xuelin came over to pass on a message to Lin Shan. Actually, he had something else to talk to Han Zheng about. Seeing that he had finished eating, he stood up and said, "Come on, I have something to tell you."
Han Zheng nodded and said to Yun Huaying, "Huaying, I'm going back first."
Yun Huaying ignored Zhao Xuelin's gossipy look, waved at Han Zheng, and slowly wiped the table.
As soon as they left, Jiang Yuan took a shoulder pole, carried a bucket of water and came out, saying to her, "Yun Huaying, I'm going to fetch some water."
"Okay, from now on the three of us will take turns picking."
Although I have only known Jiang Yuan for a short time, our personalities are compatible. We have divided the household chores and no one takes advantage of others, so we can get along harmoniously in the future.
Zhao Xuelin carried his daughter and went to the Han family. Old Man Han had just finished his meal. When he saw him coming, he smiled and asked, "Xuelin, have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
Zhao Xuelin sat down next to him, feeling very familiar. Seeing that he looked relatively well, he asked with concern, "I heard that your kidney stones have recurred. Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No, today's attack isn't as painful as last time. Zhengzi bought some medicine and it doesn't hurt much after taking it."
Old man Han rarely causes trouble for village cadres. He lives a very low-key life in the village, staying at home all year round and not often interacting with villagers. He is still in good health and goes to work on time every day.
Seeing Zhao Qiaoqiao's eyes rolling around and staring at him curiously, he smiled at her and said to his grandson, "Zhengzi, go get Qiaoqiao a pastry."
"Grandpa Han, please keep it for yourself. She has some candy in her hand. Yun Zhiqing just gave it to her downstairs." Zhao Xuelin spoke politely on behalf of his daughter.
Han Zheng took out two pastries from the room. He brought them from Seoul, wrapped them in a piece of oil paper, and asked him to take them back for the two children to eat.
He collected the dishes and chopsticks from the table, brewed a bowl of tea for Grandpa and Zhao Xuelin, and brought it over. He sat down on a chair and asked casually, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhao Xuelin and Han Zheng have a good relationship. This friendship was formed during the year Han Zheng lived here before he went to join the army. During that time, he was Han Zheng's follower, following him to the mountains to hunt and to the river to fish every day. After Han Zheng went to the army, he often wrote to him, asking him to help take care of the old man.
Zhao Xuelin is a smart man. He knows very well that although the Han family is in a trough now, they will return to Kyoto sooner or later. There is no harm in making friends with them.
In addition, Han Zheng is a very outstanding person with a wide network of contacts. If he is willing to help, many things can be easily accomplished.
So, I came to see him tonight.
