At this point, Mr. Han was still a little agitated: "I thought this kid had finally come to his senses, and I wanted to ask him which girl had made this foolish boy so shrewd. But who knew, he just wouldn't say, as if he was afraid I'd scare her away. If it weren't for his injury, I would have given him a good talking to." He didn't have the demeanor of a head of the household in front of Bai Hehua, and he still didn't have that in front of his two children. That was really embarrassing.
Seeing Han's father's angry expression, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh: "Dad, young people nowadays advocate free love. Relationships are not like they used to be, where parents had to arrange and control them."
"Dating? With his appearance, dating? Judging from his cautious manner, he's probably just having a crush on someone else." Mr. Han said irritably. This kid doesn't even want him to know. If he had told him, and if he were a good girl, he might have been able to help him come up with some ideas.
I'm the one who finally won over Bai Hehua, how could I be without any tricks up my sleeve? That's impossible.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao suppressed a laugh and comforted Han's father, "Dad, he's only been in the hospital for a short time. Dating takes time; it can't be that fast."
"Han Qiulin is no good, but your husband is better. As soon as he found out who you were, he immediately wrote to you, asking you to send things and give him money. He was very efficient."
Mr. Han sighed, “Time really flies. You two have a child now. If that blockhead Han Qiulin doesn’t come to his senses, the girl might end up with someone else.”
Despite Han Qiulin's carefree and jovial demeanor, he actually harbors a certain arrogance. The girl he sets his sights on must be exceptional.
A good girl is always in high demand. If you don't act now, when will you?
When Han's father saw that someone in the family was responding to him, he couldn't help but start talking non-stop. At first, Lin Xiaoxiao would patiently respond with a few words, but later all she could do was say "uh-huh".
"Xiaoxiao, let me tell you, sometimes just being submissive and pleasing doesn't make you attractive in a woman's eyes. You have to speak up when necessary..."
When Bai Hehua brought the dishes to the table, she couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Alright, alright, stop nagging. My little grandson doesn't like listening to this. Come over here and help me serve the dishes..."
Upon hearing this, Han's father immediately changed his expression, smiling and nodding, "Hey, hey, coming, coming..." He then quickly walked to the kitchen to help.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been sitting to the side listening the whole time, thought to herself, "..." Ms. Bai is really something else.
Before long, Bai Hehua called out that it was time to eat.
Knowing that Lin Xiaoxiao was pregnant, the family's meals were even better than before: a fish head soup, a bowl of slightly spicy boiled fish, a stir-fried mushroom and pork slices, a poached duck, and a serving of green vegetables.
"The colors on this table make me even happier," Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but praise Bai Hehua. Every time she cooked, Bai Hehua would come over to help and learn from her. Now, Bai Hehua could cook quite a few dishes all by herself.
Bai Hehua laughed and said, "Eat up all the food we have today. We won't be eating at home tomorrow. I'd be heartbroken if we threw away the food."
Tomorrow, no one will eat at home. We'll go directly to Grandpa's place. The two Han brothers have a good relationship, so they don't share so much food. They can easily eat together at the same place for two or three days at a time. They only get together a few times a year, so they'll take advantage of their time off to keep Grandpa company.
"Xiaoxiao, your second uncle is a very easy person to get along with. These few days, you can eat and drink as you please, don't be shy." Bai Hehua was worried that Lin Xiaoxiao would be too full at home and become too shy to open up to unfamiliar people.
“My second uncle is very quiet and knowledgeable. If we can get along, we can have a good chat.” Bai Hehua paused here, glanced at Han’s father, and couldn’t help but say, “But, if you can get along with this aunt, then get along with her. If you can’t, just be polite on the surface.”
"She's still the same as before?" Han Qiushi couldn't help but ask, frowning.
Bai Hehua was at least an aunt in front of Lin Xiaoxiao, but Han Qiushi addressed her directly as "she," which was a rare way for Han Qiushi to address an elder.
It was only then that Lin Xiaoxiao realized that she always heard them talk about her second uncle, but she never heard them mention her as her aunt. Later, Lin Xiaoxiao found out why everyone disliked her aunt.
This aunt and uncle Han Chengjun knew each other, but it wasn't a true love match. If they had liked each other and gotten together, as long as their families were normal, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, everyone would have given them their blessings. It wouldn't have turned out like this with everyone else.
But that's not the case at all; this aunt is quite shrewd.
My aunt's name is Xia Ru. Xia Ri and Han Chengjun were classmates in elementary and junior high school. As children of cadres in Beijing, they rarely changed schools, so their classmates were mostly the same, and it just depended on whether they could play together.
Han Chengjun is a relatively quiet person, but he is good-looking and has a few good friends around him, both men and women. Xia Ri herself does not belong to this group; she usually hangs out with another group of people.
However, the group had mutual friends. Xia Ri was introduced to Han Chengjun and his friends in the summer. Whether they got along well or not is unknown, but Xia Ri fell in love with Han Chengjun at first sight.
Xia Ri wanted to get to know Han Chengjun better through the girl she was introduced to, only to find out that her friend had a crush on Han Chengjun.
Han Chengjun seemed to have feelings for this friend in that way too, but the two of them were still young at the time, and neither of them dared to break the ice. In those days, dating while studying was something that could scare you to death.
Xia Ri thought about it in her heart, but dared not act on it. After she found out, she never mentioned Han Chengjun in front of her friends again. But as time went by, she became one of the people in the group.
The incident occurred after high school graduation. A group of people had graduated and wanted to reminisce about their youth and cherish this last moment together. So they secretly met up at one of their houses for drinks.
It felt like sneaking a drink was a remarkable thing. How could a group of kids have any alcohol tolerance? They couldn't hold their liquor after only a few drinks. Han Chengjun originally wanted to confess to the girl he liked today, but because he couldn't hold his liquor, he saw Xia Ri wearing the exact same clothes as the girl he liked and thought that the person in front of him was the one in his heart.
Han Chengjun hadn't even confessed his feelings yet, but the girl he loved had already confessed to him. His mind was in an uproar; he was so excited. With his courage, the most he could manage was holding hands with a girl.
But that day, after drinking, they became bolder, and unable to resist the initiative of the person they liked, the two of them consummated their relationship.
When Han Chengjun woke up the next day and found that the person next to him was not the one he liked, he was on the verge of a breakdown.
But seeing Xia Ri shivering beside her, she felt that this matter couldn't be entirely blamed on the girl.
Finally, this matter caused quite a stir. Han Chengjun, who had been tormented for so long, got married to Xia Ri. After that, Han Chengjun devoted himself to his career every day. He had a young body but no longer had a young mindset.
