Du Yuhan and Han Yixian took two pheasants and two rabbits to the Liang and Du families, and also invited their three younger brothers to come and eat.
Du Yuhan invited Du Lianqiao and his wife to dinner, but they refused. Their three sons only reluctantly agreed to let them come, and she even told them not to eat too much.
Yu Huiru was at Du Yuhan's house. Du Lianqiao and his wife were afraid of troubling the He family and upsetting them.
Du Yuhan knew that her adoptive parents were afraid of troubling others, so she could only provide more financial support to her three younger brothers.
She had watched her three younger brothers grow up from childhood, and they were very close. She would never let her three younger brothers go hungry.
Although dinner was a bit late tonight, everyone was very happy.
Good things come to those who wait, and Liu Gang grinned from ear to ear when he saw the large pot of stewed pheasant. He hadn't had meat in a long time, and today he could finally satisfy his craving.
Yu Huiru said, "Everyone, don't be shy, eat more. Especially Yixian and Xiao Liu, you're both so thin, eat more meat to nourish yourselves. Haifeng and you brothers, don't be shy at your sister's house, eat up."
Du Yuhan used serving chopsticks to put a lot of meat in the bowls of her three younger brothers. Then she also put some in Liu Gang and Han Yixian's bowls, urging everyone to eat more.
Du Haifeng and Du Haisheng didn't eat much that evening. They didn't usually work in the fields; they were always focused on studying at home, so they didn't think it mattered if they ate less.
Even if they don't do physical labor, they are at the age when they are growing and can eat a lot, so the little food they eat for dinner has long been digested.
Although dinner was a bit late, everyone ate to their heart's content.
When He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng returned with the two wild boars, it caused quite a stir. The cooks immediately organized a group to slaughter the boars. Everyone spread the word that there would be meat to eat the next day.
He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng decided to go for walks in the mountains whenever they had free time. Although hunting wild boars wouldn't be as easy as it was for Han Yixian and Du Yuhan, it would be manageable. At least they could ensure they wouldn't get hurt.
Yu Huiru felt that Han Yixian and Liu Gang must be very tired after hunting in the mountains and collecting so much game, and it was so late, so she felt bad about asking them to leave.
After dinner, she said, "Yixian, it's too late today, and you and Xiao Liu must be tired after a long day. Why don't you stay here? You can stay in the east room, and Yuhan, the child, and I will stay in the west room."
Han Yixian was overjoyed when he heard that his future mother-in-law wanted them to stay. It seemed that he was one step closer to officially becoming part of this family.
Seeing that her mother had spoken, Du Yuhan didn't say anything more. She went to the second room on the east side and took out some bedding from the kang cabinet. It was hot, so a thin blanket would be enough. The bedding had been aired out a couple of days ago and was very dry and soft.
A few days ago, Du Yuhan noticed that Liu Gang's clothes were torn, so she made clothes for Han Yixian and Liu Gang so they could change into them.
Today, everyone worked up a sweat hunting in the mountains. Han Yixian and Liu Gang also cleaned the game, and their clothes were covered in blood and could no longer be worn.
Du Yuhan handed the clothes to Han Yixian and said, "Brother Han, I made some clothes for you and Liu Gang a few days ago, but I haven't had a chance to give them to you yet. I'll give them to you today. You two can take a shower in the back before you go to bed and feel more comfortable."
Han Yi was overjoyed to receive the clothes; today had been full of surprises. First, his future mother-in-law asked him to stay, and then he received clothes made for him by Du Yuhan. Coming today was definitely the right decision.
Han Yixian said happily, "I didn't expect to receive a gift today, it's such a pleasant surprise. Thank you, Yuhan."
Liu Gang took the clothes and grinned broadly. Du Yuhan would definitely remember him if something good happened; he was a true friend.
"Thank you, Yuhan. I was just thinking of buying fabric and having you make me a dress, but I didn't expect you to have already made it for me. Thank you so much," Liu Gang said happily.
Du Yuhan said, "Don't be so polite with me. Your family isn't around, so if you need any sewing or mending work in the future, just come to me. I made these clothes for you a long time ago, but I haven't had a chance to give them to you until today."
Han Yixian and Liu Gang took showers one after the other and went to sleep in the east room. This time they slept in the second room from the east, where Han Yixian had also taken a nap.
The weather wasn't very hot at night anymore. Lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), Liu Gang leaned close to Han Yixian and whispered, "Brother Xian, has Yuhan forgiven you?"
Han Yixian asked, "You figured it out?"
Liu Gang said, "I noticed that Yuhan's attitude towards you is different now. She even made you clothes. If she were still angry with you, she definitely wouldn't have made you clothes."
Han Yixian rolled his eyes at Liu Gang and said, "Then how will Yuhan make clothes for you?"
Liu Gang chuckled and said, "Isn't it because Yuhan saw that I was all alone here without any family around? Qiwen, the three of us have a deep revolutionary friendship, unlike you, Brother Xian."
Han Yi snorted and said, "Don't always bother Yuhan in the future. Find a girlfriend and have her make clothes for you."
Liu Gang said with a grin, "I'm not in a hurry to find a partner. I'll think about it after you and Yuhan get married. Besides, I won't just find anyone. I need Aunt Yu to help me find someone. Aunt Yu knows a lot of people, she can definitely introduce me to a good girl."
Han Yixian said, "You've got a good plan, kid. Once Yuhan and I get married, it won't be appropriate for us to live together. I'll prepare a new house, and you can stay in the house we're living in now. If you still can't find a partner with such good conditions, I'll look down on you."
Liu Gang said with a grin, "Then thank you in advance, Brother Xian. I definitely won't disturb your time with Yuhan. But it would be perfect if I could occasionally come over for a meal."
Han Yixian snorted and said, "You little brat, you've been thinking about coming to my house for a free meal for a long time, haven't you?"
Liu Gang chuckled and said, "Brother Xian, we met Yuhan around the same time. I guess I deserve some credit for you marrying Yuhan. I just occasionally eat a meal cooked by Yuhan and will never disturb your time together. Yuhan's cooking is just too good."
Han Yixian said, "It depends on your performance. Once I find a suitable house, I'll definitely renovate it, and I might even have to rebuild it. You'll have to keep an eye on things for me then. The new house will definitely be similar to this one."
I see Yuhan likes big courtyards and enjoys gardening, so I need to find a house with a large yard. Could you help me ask around? If we find something suitable, we can go take a look. The house doesn't necessarily have to be in the city center; a bit off-center is fine. The main thing is that it needs to be large, especially with a big yard. The quality of the house doesn't matter; if it's really unsuitable, we can always demolish and rebuild.
Liu Gang said, "That's no problem. I'll ask around when I get back. As long as the place is big enough, it's fine. We can build our own house later, just like the one Yuhan has here."
