She only knows one person from outside the community.
That was one of her uncles. But behind that man stood two other men, one tall and one short, whose clothes and appearance were clearly different from those of the people in their village.
Han Luoyu was taken aback when she saw the stranger, then looked at the uncle she knew and asked, "Second Uncle, who is this?"
"The ones who came looking for Xueya, Uncle brought them here."
"Are you looking for your sister? Please wait a moment, I'll call her over."
Han Luoyu looked at the two suspiciously, but she still ran to the kitchen and tugged at Han Luoxue's arm: "Sister, there are two people outside looking for you. They don't seem to be from around here."
Someone is looking for her? At this time?
Han Luoxue also felt a little confused. She had to know what time it was. The New Year was just around the corner. Who wouldn't be at home with their family on New Year's Eve? Why was she out and about?
"You watch the fire, I'll go check it out!"
Han Luoxue washed her hands and quickly went outside, but she was stunned when she saw the people at the door: "Who are you?"
She had never seen or known either of these two people before. How could they possibly be looking for her?
"You must be Han Luoxue, right?"
The man standing in front was quite old, around fifty years old. He started coughing after only saying a few words, which showed that he was not in good health.
One of the men beside him even patted his back, saying, "Sir, let me do it."
"It's alright, I know my own body. Girl, we're from the capital, Zhou Yuan told me about you."
Upon hearing Zhou Yuan's name, Han Luoxue smiled and said, "Come in first!"
It turned out to be an acquaintance, but she was a little surprised because she had met many of Han Yuchen's relatives before, but this person was not among them.
Perhaps this person just happened to be out of the capital last time.
"Little Xue, your second uncle is going back first."
Knowing that it was someone Han Luoxue knew, the second uncle who had just led the way took his leave, saying as he left, "I'll go over and tell Han Qiang later that he doesn't need to come over."
At first he was worried, but now that he knows Han Luoxue knows this person, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Second Uncle."
As she led the two into the courtyard, a small figure came running over and grabbed Han Luoxue's leg: "Big sister, who is this?"
"You should just call me grandpa!"
Judging from this person's age, calling him "grandpa" would be appropriate.
Hearing that the old man was still coughing, Han Luoxue thought for a moment and then went to the kitchen to bring him a bowl of water, adding a lot of spiritual spring water to it.
Although the spring water cannot cure all diseases, it can effectively alleviate this person's symptoms.
"Have some water first!"
The old man took it and opened his mouth to drink it.
The man who had come with him hurriedly tried to stop him: "Sir, this..."
"It's alright, Xiao Du."
"Snow Girl, your water tastes a little sweet."
The old man gulped it down in a few mouthfuls, and perhaps because it was his first time drinking this kind of water, it tasted very sweet.
When Han Luoxue heard the old man call out to Xiao Du, the old man who had come with him, her lips twitched.
However, upon hearing him say the water was sweet, Han Luoxue still smiled:
"Yes, the water in our mountain village tastes especially good."
After drinking a bowl of water, the old man indeed stopped coughing as much.
"This is……"
Looking at the little one clinging to Han Luoxue's leg, the old man asked curiously.
"My younger brother."
"So cute."
Hearing someone praise her younger brother made Han Luoxue very happy.
"Yes. By the way, why are you out at this hour?"
On New Year's Eve, a time for family reunions, this old man actually came out with a servant.
Don't his family care?
However, she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that this old man and Han Yuchen looked somewhat alike.
At first glance, it looks somewhat similar, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't.
"I just happened to have something to do, so I can't go back this year. By the way, where's Yuchen?"
The old man looked around the simple yet exceptionally tidy courtyard, and could smell a rich fragrance.
"What is this? It smells so good."
"My sister is roasting a whole lamb. Hehe, the whole lamb my sister roasts is so delicious."
"Hey kid! Who's grilling?"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu stormed over and flicked Han Mengze's forehead, though he didn't use much force.
"My eldest sister."
The little guy rubbed his head, playfully stuck out his tongue at Doctor Xu, and made a face, saying mischievously:
"My sister added the seasoning to the little lamb. You were just tending the fire, weren't you?"
Doctor Xu...
That brat, he couldn't refute what he just said.
"Your sister makes the best whole roasted lamb. You're so lucky!"
Han Mengze said to the old man.
"That's true."
The old man smiled broadly, and Xiao Du, who had come with him, sighed inwardly as he watched the old man's happy smile.
He rushed over in a hurry, not even knowing if it was a prince. If that person wasn't a prince, the old man would be so disappointed.
But the old man has never been this happy since that person disappeared.
"Sis, are you ready to come and take a look?"
Han Luoyu called from the kitchen, and Han Luoxue hurriedly went in. They were going to make a lot of delicious food today.
She made seven or eight kinds of pastries, and also quite a few fried items.
The pork had been marinated and was now emitting a fragrant aroma.
"Just throw a piece of wood in and leave it alone. When cooking meat, it's easier to bring out the flavor by simmering it slowly."
Han Luoxue said with a smile:
"Mom, the meat is marinated, why don't you start frying it?"
Although it was called fried meat, Han Luoxue came up with several different ways to prepare it.
Crispy fried pork, suitable for both the elderly and children!
Deep-fried pork is Han Luoxue's favorite; the more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes.
The crispy fried pork is, needless to say, incredibly delicious.
There was also fried meat jerky, all marinated in advance. Han Luoxue made three different flavors, which she will use as snacks for her family from now on.
Fried shrimp, fried pork tenderloin, and fried meatballs.
There are also various fruits, which are fried up to be sweet and sour, and they are simply her favorite.
Two large oil pots were heated up, and Han Luoxue and Yunniang each took one, working busily.
Han Mengze and Xu Shen had already come running in after smelling the aroma. They took their small bowls, put one of each kind in, and soon they were full.
"younger brother……"
Han Yuze came over after smelling the aroma. This kid has been behaving well lately, so Han Luoxue didn't bother with him.
After the three children finished eating, they played by themselves in the yard, while the two people in the kitchen hadn't finished frying their food.
The door creaked open, and the children who were playing immediately turned around.
"It's my brother-in-law."
Han Mengze shouted excitedly, "My brother-in-law went hunting! I wonder what good stuff he caught!"
"Brother-in-law..."
The little guy ran outside with his short legs, and sure enough, at the door, he saw Han Yuchen leading Zhui Feng back.
