Li Yun watched Chen Yao leave in a hurry, smiled, and said, "This child is still like when she was little."
Han Mo didn't say anything, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Li Yun put a dish on a plate and placed it on the table. She said to Han Mo, "Thank you for helping to serve it. You are a guest and shouldn't be asked to help in the kitchen."
Han Mo smiled and said, "It's okay, Auntie. I often help my mom and grandma at home."
Li Yun saw that he skillfully avoided the hot part of the plate. His skillful movements did not seem to be fake, and she also had her own judgment on what he said.
"You are a filial and sensible child." She said with a smile.
…
When Chen Yao and Shen Zheng said they were going to call their father home for dinner, he took them with him.
On the way, Shen Zheng quietly asked her: "Has Han Mo ever bullied you?"
Not knowing what kind of "bullying" Shen Zheng was referring to, Shen Yao pretended to be confused and asked, "What kind of bullying? Hitting me or scolding me? Not at all. He's usually pretty nice to me."
Shen Zheng was relieved.
But after walking for a while, he asked worriedly, "Has Han Mo ever been mean to you?"
You know, he went from being a small soldier under Han Mo to being his right-hand man today. The hardships he went through could not be described in days and nights.
He was well aware of Han Mo's harshness and strictness.
So he was worried that he would habitually apply his management style to his sister.
Chen Yao shook her head and said, "Not at all. I don't think he's mean at all. He's always so gentle when he talks to me. He's never been mean."
The corners of Shen Zheng's mouth twitched, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Han Mo is quite good at treating people differently.
But it’s okay this way. As long as he treats my sister well and my sister likes him, then it’s the best of both worlds.
In the West Lane, after watching the chess game between Uncle Qi and Uncle Zhang, Shen Heng looked at the time. When he was about to go home, he saw the figures of Shen Yao and Shen Zheng walking towards him.
A smile quickly spread across his eyes, and he said happily as he walked over, "Yaoyao, Zhengzheng, you're both back today. It's really rare."
When he called Chen Zheng "Zheng Zheng", Chen Zheng's face suddenly turned red. Why did his father suddenly call him like that when he was a child? As a grown man, he felt embarrassed at first.
"Dad, let's go home. The food is ready, only you are missing." Chen Yao said with a smile.
Shen Heng smiled and nodded, saying, “Okay, I’ll go back now.”
Shen Zheng told his father, "I'm going home to get some things and will return to the army in the afternoon."
Shen Heng glanced at him and said, “Okay, although the time I can stay at home is shorter, it’s good to be back.”
Shen Zheng hummed, and then said, "There is a guest at home."
Shen Heng was stunned, "Guest? Who's here?"
Shen Zheng glanced at Shen Yao and motioned for her to speak.
After quickly organizing her words, Chen Yao said, "This guest is my brother's friend. He was asked by my brother to take good care of me in the compound. He drove me back today, and my mother asked him to stay for dinner before leaving."
Shen Heng discovered the key point, and suddenly looked at Shen Zheng thoughtfully, and asked: "You and your friend should have a good relationship?"
Chen Zheng: "Dad, this friend is Han Mo, the leader of the group, whom I mentioned to you before."
Shen Heng finally matched the person with his name, smiled and said, "Oh... Han Mo, I remember him, he is a very outstanding and motivated young man, but why is he in the compound? Logically, shouldn't he be in the same place as you?"
Chen Zheng explained, "He happened to be assigned to the compound due to a temporary transfer from above. I figured since we're all familiar people, I'd ask him to help my sister out. After all, she just arrived there and doesn't know anyone there."
Chen Heng understood: "Then this young man is quite honest. He even drove Yaoyao back specially. I guess he takes good care of her."
Shen Zheng thought to himself, that’s not caring, he has become the object of care.
Chen Yao took the opportunity to improve Han Mo's impression and said to her father, "Captain Han really takes good care of me and often helps me out a lot."
As soon as she said this, Shen Heng tasted a different meaning.
But he said nothing and just waited to see Han Mo with his own eyes before speaking.
…
When they returned home together, a table full of delicious food was neatly laid out on the dining table, and Han Mo was pouring rice into empty bowls.
Seeing them coming back, he stopped what he was doing, took the initiative to greet Shen Heng, and said, "Hello uncle, I'm Han Mo, sorry to bother you."
Chen Heng looked at the upright, handsome, tall, upright, gentle and polite man in front of him, and gave him a good first impression in his heart.
"Hello, thank you for taking care of our Yaoyao and taking the trouble to make this trip to bring her back." Shen Heng said gently.
Han Mo smiled and said, "It's okay, they are all small things."
…
While eating, Shen Heng and Li Yun would occasionally look towards Han Mo, and occasionally look at their daughter.
Somehow, the more they looked at each other, the more they felt that the two children were a good match.
Obviously, the two of them didn't say or do anything, but it looked like a beautiful painting, with a sense of natural harmony.
“By the way, Xiao Han, from what you say, you should be a local too,” Shen Heng asked.
Han Mo put down his chopsticks and replied, "Yes, I'm a local. My home is on the shore of Houhai Lake. It's not far from here. It only takes about ten minutes to drive there."
