With the Chinese New Year approaching, Du Yuhan couldn't help but think of Han Yixian and the others. At this time last year, she was still queuing up with Liu Gang to buy New Year's goods, and later she even received a gift from Han Yixian.
She wondered if her death would sadden Han Yixian. Although Han Yixian hadn't kept his promise, she knew he must have been under immense pressure and perhaps had no choice in the matter.
Although she resented him, she didn't hate him to the point of hatred. This was because she hadn't invested all her feelings; she had held back.
Having experienced the pain of marriage and remained single for many years, she no longer possessed the passionate fervor of youth when it came to love. She didn't even know if she could still love. Love had long since left her.
She still has to thank Han Yixian for being able to feel her heart flutter in this lifetime.
She didn't know if she could give Han Yixian her whole heart if they stayed together. Maybe it was better for them to separate like this. She hoped he was doing well.
In this life, she has fulfilled her wish from her past life, and she no longer needs to worry about him. Let all those past events drift away with the wind. From now on, she only wants to protect her family.
This is Du Yuhan's first time spending Chinese New Year with her family, and she plans to bring home a lot of things. She also wants to prepare a lavish New Year's Eve dinner.
So, besides things that can be bought in stores, Du Yuhan often takes out some things from her spatial storage to prepare for the New Year when she goes out.
She also plans to visit her adoptive parents and Uncle Liang's family in Laohewan Village.
She needed to talk to her adoptive parents and Uncle Liang's family, and tell them not to treat her as Du Yuhan anymore, but to call her He Muhan from now on. On the surface, she could just be a distant relative of the Du family.
When she visited Laohewan Village with her adoptive parents last time, she hardly saw any other villagers. Moreover, she was wearing makeup and not her real face, so she should have been able to fool others easily.
Du Yuhan did this because she was afraid that if Han Yixian found his adoptive parents, their secret would be exposed.
She didn't want any more conflict because of Han Yixian; she felt happy living a peaceful life with her parents.
Just before the Lunar New Year, He Zhendong took a two-day vacation home, so Yu Huiru asked him to drive Du Yuhan to Laohewan Village to deliver some New Year's goods to the Liang and Du families.
He Zhendong and his team have once again made a great contribution by finding the secret warehouse located in Northeast China, which contains even more weapons and ammunition than the first warehouse.
The higher-ups also assigned He Zhendong and his team to investigate the locations of the other warehouses, hoping to find them as soon as possible and ensure that the contents of the other two warehouses do not fall into enemy hands.
This is not something that can be resolved overnight; all we can do is try our best.
After all, China is so big, it's not so easy to find.
Without Du Yuhan's help, they would never have found these two secret warehouses, and they knew nothing about them. This shows how secretive the matter was.
Du Yuhan had her second brother load all the New Year's goods she had prepared into the car, and the two of them headed straight for Laohewan Village.
At this time, Laohewan Village was desolate. The Longwan River, which meanders around half of the village, was already frozen, looking like a jade belt falling between heaven and earth from a distance.
Looking at the river from afar, Du Yuhan had some thoughts in her mind. This river was a treasure to Laohewan Village.
With this river, the crops in Laohewan Village can be irrigated, the grain can be harvested, and the villagers can have food to eat.
Moreover, the river also has its own resources, and if used properly, the villagers of Laogewan Village will never go hungry.
But we'll have to wait and see. Once she arrives at Laohewan Village, she'll gradually discover its advantages.
He Zhendong drove Du Yuhan to the Liang family's house first.
It's the dead of winter now, and the weather is especially cold. With the Lunar New Year approaching, everyone is staying home to hibernate.
Du Yuhan noticed that Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang, who came out to greet her, had obviously lost a lot of weight, and their complexions were not very good, appearing sallow.
Liang Shouzhen was delighted to see He Zhendong and his sister arrive. "Come inside quickly, it's too cold outside."
Du Yuhan also met Uncle Liang's two children, Liang Jiajun and Liang Jingyun, who were attending middle school elsewhere.
They both attend middle school in the county town; Liang Jiajun is a senior in high school, and Liang Jingyun is a junior in middle school. They usually live at school and come home every two weeks. Now that the Lunar New Year is approaching and school is on winter break, they've all come home for the holiday.
Liang Jiajun is eighteen years old this year, one year older than Du Yuhan. He is tall and handsome, and looks very scholarly, clearly a well-read child.
Liang Jingyun is a lively young girl, sixteen years old, a little shorter than Du Yuhan, and with delicate features.
The little girl was very polite. After her father introduced Du Yuhan, she immediately called Du Yuhan "sister".
Du Yuhan quite liked this lively and polite little sister.
The brother and sister were very familiar with He Zhendong, so everyone chatted and laughed without any restraint.
Du Yuhan took out the New Year's gifts for the Liang family and asked her second brother to bring them into the house.
After everyone went inside, Du Yuhan said, "Uncle Liang, why have you and my aunt lost so much weight?"
Liang Shouzhen sighed and said, "Now everyone is starving. We're still doing well because we have two sons to help us, and you often send us things, so at least we still have food to eat. Other families are struggling to make ends meet. Several families in the village have started asking the team for grain. The team can't just stand by and watch them starve to death, so we can only lend them some grain."
Du Yuhan asked, "Is the team's food supply sufficient?"
Liang Shouzhen smiled wryly and said, "How could that be? All we have left are grain seeds. We absolutely cannot eat the grain seeds. Otherwise, what will we use to plant next year?"
You don't need to worry about us all the time; we'll get through this. Why are you coming here in this freezing weather?
Du Yuhan said, "Isn't it almost Chinese New Year? My dad asked my second brother and me to bring you some New Year's gifts."
As she spoke, Du Yuhan took all the things out of the basket.
These New Year's goods were actually prepared by Du Yuhan. There was a large piece of wild boar meat, ten catties of wheat flour and ten catties of rice, a packet each of white sugar and brown sugar, a packet of tea, a packet each of jujubes, longan and goji berries, a small bundle of kelp and seaweed, a packet of dried shrimp, and more than ten apples and oranges.
There was also a basket that was half full of eggs.
When Li Shuzhen saw that Du Yuhan and the others had brought so many things, she exclaimed, "Oh my, why did you bring so much? This is too much of a waste. You have children at home, why didn't you save some for them?"
Liang Shouzhen also said, "That's right. The supply in the city is so tight right now, why are you still bringing us so much stuff? If you bring it all to us, how will your family celebrate the New Year? We're right next to the mountains, so we can get some things here too. Tell your dad not to worry about us."
