After returning home.
Before Han Jue entered the door, someone sent him a message asking: Where are you?
Han Jue: At the gate.
The other party: Just say you went to meet the reagent supplier.
Han Jue: Okay.
His original reason was that he was going out to meet some friends, and if someone asked him about it, he would say it was a few junior leaders.
However, when I arrived at the living room, the banquet was almost over and the elders had basically left because it was too late.
Only Han Jing and his wife, Han Shi and his wife, Liang Xinyun, Han Ji, Ai Zhiyin, Han Chi, Han Ze, and Luo Fu were present at the table.
"Dingce is back," Han Jue's mother was the first to see Han Jue. She called out, drawing everyone's attention to Han Jue who had just entered the door.
"Old Five, where have you been?" Han Ze's cheeks were flushed from being drunk.
"I met with a few people below me, there is an urgent matter," Han Jue finally did not bring up the "reagent supplier".
"Have you eaten yet? It's late at night." Han Jue's mother was worried that her son was hungry, so she quickly stood up and said, "I'll get you some tableware."
"Thank you, Mom." Han Jue saw an empty seat next to Han Ze and sat down.
Luo Fu suddenly stood up and said, "It's getting late. My dad is urging me to go home. Uncles, aunts, and brothers, I'm leaving first."
Second Aunt immediately tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Please sit for a while. It's only a few steps from home."
Luo Fu smiled and said, "No, Second Aunt."
Second uncle Han Jing said, "Ask your second aunt to see you off."
Luo Fu: "No need to bother, Uncle. You are so polite."
Second Aunt: "I'd better send you off."
Luo Fu smiled and didn't refuse.
Second aunt took Luo Fu's arm and walked her to the gate of the courtyard.
Luo Fu's house is in the west district at No. 15, just a ten-minute walk away.
When Han Qi saw his wife setting the table for their son, he stood up, walked to Han Jue and poured wine for him.
Han Jue was flattered and quickly took the wine vessel from Han Qi's hand, "I can do it myself, Dad."
"I want to apologize to your second uncle and brothers. You ran away during the holidays and made your family wait for so long."
"Know."
Han Jue certainly knew that Han Shi was protecting him with good intentions.
He poured himself a glass of wine, then stood up and apologized to Han Jing and his wife, Han Ji, Han Chi, and Han Jue one by one.
Han Jing: "I can't drink anymore, you and your brothers drink."
He called out Han Ji's name again.
Han Ji held up the cup and said, "Okay, I'll do it for you."
He glanced at Han Chi and Han Ze and said, "It seems that your other two brothers are also in trouble."
Han Jue smiled and said, "It seems that Second Brother still has a lot of appetite."
Han Ji: "Leave a message when you go out next time. It's a good thing for a man to focus on his career. Now is the time for you to accumulate resources. It won't hurt to meet more people."
Han Jue: "Thank you for your understanding, second brother."
The large round table that could originally seat more than twenty people now only had ten people at the table. All the seniors had left. There were not many people on Han Jing's side, while the juniors' side was almost full in rows.
The seat where Han Jue sat was originally Han Chen's, with Han Ze and Ai Zhiyin between him and Han Ji.
The two men leaned forward and clinked their glasses lightly.
After finishing a glass, Han Chi on his left pressed his arm and asked him to sit down.
"You better be careful. Not only did your second brother almost get us drunk, but he also caught you trying to get more alcohol out of you. Eat something quickly to help you get over the alcohol."
"Thank you, Third Brother."
Han Ze, who was standing by, said, "That's right, Second Brother is such a bad guy. Not only did he get Han Chen drunk, but Third Brother and I weren't spared either. Third Brother was supposed to go back to Shanghai today, but now he can't leave."
Han Ze's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, "Han Chen is drunk?"
Han Ze: "Han Chen's alcohol tolerance is so high that even Hao Jie can be drunk by him."
The "Hao Jie" Han Ze mentioned is the son of his eldest brother Han Pei. He is twelve years old and has just started junior high school.
"Nonsense," Han Chi scolded, "Hao Jie's health is not something you can joke with."
"I was wrong, I slapped my mouth," Han Ze knew he had said something wrong and slapped his mouth.
Han Jing glared at him: "Your uncle and elder brother are not here today. If they hear you, you're done."
"I don't know I'm wrong. Second uncle, I will punish myself, punish myself," Han Ze poured himself a glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Han Jing: "You should find a proper way to make a living and stop idling around all day. Your parents are not here today. If they were, I would have a good talk with them."
Han Ze was overwhelmed when he heard this.
But among those present, Han Jing was the most important, so Han Ze had to endure it no matter how uncomfortable he was, and he still tried hard to put on a smile.
The rule of the Han family is that you must listen to your elders and not talk back.
Han Ze smiled and said, "I understand, Second Uncle."
The banquet was about to end, and Han Jue raised another glass while Han Chi was still there.
"Third brother, you're leaving tomorrow. If you leave, I'm afraid we won't see each other again until the New Year. Let me toast with you."
Han Chi raised his glass with a smile, clinking it with Han Jue's. "When you have time, come visit me more often. Don't say you're busy. You're a powerful leader now. Find an opportunity to come to Shanghai for a research trip or something. I'll welcome you there."
Han Jue smiled and said, "Okay."
After the two clinked their glasses, the banquet was almost over.
Han Jue's mother didn't want her son to drink so much so late, so she said, "It's getting late, we should go home. Tomorrow is still a day, and I guess my eldest brother and the others will be back. We can get together then."
Han Chi: "I haven't seen my uncle and his family for a long time. When will they be back? I have a ticket for the 9 o'clock train tomorrow morning."
Han Jue's mother: "Lin Feng, you may not be able to see them. They won't be back until the afternoon."
Han Ji: "Hao Jie, is he still not feeling better?"
Han Jing sighed slightly, his face full of embarrassment. "I would only dare to bring up this topic if your grandfather and your eldest uncle's family weren't around. Hao Jie...your third uncle has consulted all the experts in the country, and the situation isn't optimistic."
Han Qi took over the conversation: "Fortunately, we still have Haoxuan now, otherwise Dad would be even more miserable."
Han Jue's mother also said to Ai Zhiyin, "Zhiyin, you must take good care of Haoxuan. Don't let anything like what happened to Haojie happen again. Because of Haojie's situation, your grandfather was rushed to the emergency room on the 3rd. Haoxuan is now Han Jiaxu's last breath, and he is also your grandfather's last hope."
Han Jing turned his gaze to Han Chi, "Hurry up and get the marriage certificate with Miss Yan as soon as possible. Don't delay any longer. Why is your grandfather so concerned about your marriage? Isn't it because he's afraid that the Han family will be extinct? He's already 89 years old. How many years does he have left for you unmarried brothers to squander?"
Second Aunt muttered softly, "Han Chen is very enthusiastic about getting married, why don't you say this?"
"You!" Han Jing was so angry that he was choked for a moment.
Han Chen's matter was a major event for the Han family during this short holiday, and almost no one in the Han family agreed with it.
However, Han Hongde did not allow Han Chen to mention it at home.
What made the Han family even more worried was that the eldest brother Han Pei’s son Han Haojie was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as "Lou Gehrig's disease", which Hawking also had.
This was also the reason why Han Hongde's blood pressure rose the day before yesterday and he was taken away by 120 to the emergency room.
