Han Yi's first step was to gradually enter the house and let Du Yuhan slowly get used to him being in her home. Then he would gradually win over her family.
Han Yixian hadn't had a good rest these past few days, and now that he was under the same roof as Du Yuhan, he felt great and soon fell asleep.
When Han Yixian woke up again, the sun had already set. He felt refreshed after that sleep. Perhaps it was because of the joy he had experienced; he felt full of energy.
Du Yuhan said he wasn't feeling well and needed her to help him. He hadn't been in the mood to exercise lately, but he needed to keep up his old habits. He needed to be healthy to give Du Yuhan happiness.
Han Yi got up, folded the quilt, put it in the kang cabinet, and then left the room and went to the living room. He looked around and saw Du Yuhan weeding the vegetable garden in the backyard, so he went to the backyard as well.
Hearing the door open, Du Yuhan saw that Han Yixian was already up and said, "There's a prescription I wrote for you on the coffee table in the living room. Go back and buy the medicine and brew it yourself. If you continue to neglect your health like this, don't come here again."
Han Yixian quickly replied, "Yuhan, don't worry, I'll go buy the medicine when I get back, and I'll make sure to take it on time. Yuhan, I saw you carrying water from the ditch to irrigate the vegetable garden this morning, I'll do that work from now on. How can a young girl like you do such tiring work?"
By the way, how do you usually get water?
Du Yuhan replied, "There is a well in the village, and everyone goes there to fetch water to drink."
Han Yixian felt sorry for Du Yuhan when he thought about her having to fetch water herself. He said, "I'll find someone to dig a well for your family later. I'll make it deep so that there will be water even in a drought. You won't have to go all the way to fetch water."
After saying that, he picked up the bucket and carrying pole that were placed under the eaves of the back house, opened the back door, and went to the ditch behind to fetch water.
He watered the vegetable garden today, so Du Yuhan won't need to water it tomorrow.
Du Yuhan didn't stop Han Yixian. She knew he was just looking for trouble, so she let him be.
Han Yi first carried water and watered all the vegetable plots that Du Yuhan said needed watering, just as the sun was about to set.
He walked up to Du Yuhan and said, "Yuhan, let me help you weed."
Seeing that Han Yixian was still not leaving, Du Yuhan said, "Why aren't you leaving yet? Liu Gang should be here soon. He'll be worried if he can't find you."
Han Yixian said, "It's alright, he'll know I'm here if he can't find me."
Sure enough, Liu Gang arrived at Du Yuhan's house in his car not long after.
Du Haifeng and his group saw a car parked in front of their eldest sister's house and quickly came out to check. They were all surprised to see that it was Han Yixian's car.
Du Haifeng and Du Haichao quickly ran into Du Yuhan's yard. Seeing that no one was inside and the back door was open, they went to the backyard and were surprised to see Han Yixian standing with his older sister.
Du Haifeng immediately ran to Du Yuhan and shouted, "Sister, he didn't bully you, did he?"
Han Yixian looked at his future brother-in-law, who had once fooled him, and said, "How could I bully your sister? I'm too busy doting on her."
Du Yuhan rolled her eyes at Han Yixian and said, "Don't talk nonsense in front of the children."
She turned to Du Haifeng and said, "Big sister is alright, Brother Han wouldn't bully me. Why did you all come over?"
Du Haifeng said, "I saw a car parked in front of your door, and when I saw it was his, I quickly came over."
Du Yuhan knew Liu Gang had arrived as soon as she heard the name. She went to the front yard, opened the gate, saw the car parked there, and called out, "Liu Gang."
Liu Gang was somewhat prepared that Du Yuhan was not dead, but he was still very excited when he actually saw Du Yuhan alive.
He quickly got out of the car and said excitedly, "Yuhan, you're not dead, that's wonderful!"
Du Yuhan was happy to see her old friend and said, "Come in quickly, Brother Han is at my house."
Liu Gang followed Du Yuhan into the courtyard. After touring the house, he said, "Yuhan, you built this house really well. It's even better than that little courtyard in Luancheng."
Du Yuhan said, "This was built according to my own ideas. I wanted to live more comfortably. Where do you live now?"
Liu Gang replied, "I still live with Brother Xian in a small courtyard. But it's not as big as yours, and the house isn't as nice."
Han Yi thought to himself, "Liu Gang, do you even know how to speak? Aren't you belittling him?"
He quickly said, "Yuhan, when we get back I'll move to a bigger house, and I'll renovate the house like you did in the future, so you'll be comfortable living there."
Du Yuhan rolled her eyes at Han Yixian and said, "I have my own house, who wants to live in your house?"
Han Yixian said, "Then I can move in. We can live on both sides."
Du Yuhan realized that Han Yixian was always veerging towards her in his conversations, constantly hinting at their relationship. This guy was really too cunning.
She wasn't going to fall for his tricks. This time, she would think it over carefully before telling him whether she wanted to give him a chance to test her.
Since Liu Gang was visiting, Du Yuhan naturally had to entertain him, so Han Yi, taking advantage of Liu Gang's hospitality, stayed for dinner at Du Yuhan's house. They had a car, so going home a little later wouldn't be a problem.
Du Yuhan stewed one of the pheasants from her home, then picked some large radishes from the yard and cooked them with a little garlic sprouts—it was delicious. She also made stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with eggs, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a cold wild vegetable salad.
When they finished work, the Liang family and Du Lianqiao and his wife all learned that Han Yixian was at Du Yuhan's house. They all rushed over to Du Yuhan's house.
Seeing that Du Yuhan wasn't crying and that she and Han Yixian were getting along fairly well, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Du Yuhan said, "Dad, Mom, Uncle Liang, Aunt Liang, why don't you have dinner here? You can keep the guests company for me."
Han Yixian quickly stood up when he saw the adults from the Liang and Du families arrive. They were all considered Yuhan's maternal relatives, so he had to treat them well and try to make a good impression. That way, when he met his future in-laws, they could put in a good word for him.
Han Yixian quickly pulled out a chair in front of the dining table and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Uncle Liang, Aunt Liang, please sit down."
Du Yuhan glared at Han Yixian and said, "Don't call me that. Who are your father-in-law and mother-in-law? I didn't promise you anything."
Han Yi quickly corrected himself, saying, "Oh, then call me Uncle/Aunt. I'll change it later."
Du Lianqiao said, "Comrade Han."
Han Yixian quickly said, "Uncle, you can just call me Yixian or Xiao Han."
When Du Lianqiao heard this "Xiao Han," he didn't know who it was, so he could only call him Yi Xian.
He said, "Yixian, we hope you can understand why we kept Xiaohan's situation from you before."
Han Yi nodded and said, "I understand. Your protection of Yuhan is touching. If my daughter were treated like this, I certainly wouldn't let the other party off easily either. So, Uncle, you can punish me however you want. I'm willing to accept it."
