Han Xiao did not notice the deeper meaning behind his eldest son's words, and thought that his eldest son was still angry with his mother.
Hearing Han Yixian mention Han Yikun, he snorted and said, "Don't mention that unfilial son Han Yikun to me. What he did was a disgrace to the Han family. How could we possibly entrust the Han family to him? The Han family can only be handed over to you in the future. Even your second uncle's child is better than Han Yikun."
I just don't understand. You and that unfilial son are siblings from the same mother, so how come you're so different?
Han Yixian sneered and didn't tell his father the truth. He thought to himself that he and Han Yikun were not siblings from the same mother, so of course they were different.
Han Yikun inherited most of his mother's personality traits, and with the added influence of Zeng Yufen, he has become a treacherous and opportunistic person—truly a case of like mother, like son. Even Han Yiping inherited her mother's selfishness.
Fortunately, he and they were not siblings from the same mother, otherwise he would feel heartbroken every time he thought of them.
Han Yixian hadn't figured out how to tell his father about his background and Zeng Yufen's past actions. There were many things he couldn't say over the phone. He only said, "Dad, I'm doing well here. I won't go back to Kyoto. Take care of yourself. Be careful around Zeng Yufen too."
Han Yixian didn't say much, but he did remind his father.
When Han Xiao heard Han Yixian call his mother by her name, he knew that his eldest son still harbored a lot of resentment towards her, and was even unwilling to call her "Mom" anymore.
He couldn't control his eldest son's thoughts either, and it seems that his eldest son's unwillingness to return to the Han family has a lot to do with Zeng Yufen.
I wonder what kind of girl He Yuhan is, that she has such a big influence on my son. I wonder if she can persuade my eldest son to change his mind and return to the Han family. Maybe he should meet He Yuhan if he has the chance, and ask her to help persuade his eldest son.
However, Han Xiao was still very happy to have this phone call. At least his eldest son was still willing to keep in touch with his father, which was good.
After the engagement banquet, Han Yixian told He Yuhan that he had a special gift for her. After hanging up with his father, Han Yixian quickly dealt with his work, and in the afternoon he went to the He family home to pick up He Yuhan and take her to the new house he had built.
He Yuhan was very curious about what kind of mysterious gift Han Yixian was, when he told her that he was going to give her a gift and take her to see it in person.
When their car stopped in front of the gate of a courtyard, He Yuhan had a general idea in mind.
Han Yixian opened the gate and pulled He Yuhan into the courtyard.
Upon entering the gate, you find yourself in a large courtyard with a stone-paved path leading from the main gate to the main house.
There are two side rooms on each side of the main building, all connected by a passageway.
In the front yard, there is a grape trellis made of wood. This grape trellis is very large and exquisite: under the grape trellis, there is a long wooden bench with a backrest on one side; on the other side, there is a wooden swing that can seat two people side by side; in the middle, there is a stone table and several stone benches.
The grape trellis resembled a flower-trellis pavilion, and its overall appearance was very elegant, which He Yuhan immediately fell in love with.
Imagine the future when the grapevines will be fully grown on the trellis, and you can sit on the swing under the trellis, read books, and listen to music—it would be such a wonderful experience.
The reason she didn't make the grape trellis in her rural yard so elaborate is because privacy in the countryside is so poor, and she couldn't make it too outrageous. Even now, it's already quite special.
The courtyard is surrounded by high walls, so people outside can't see what's going on inside, providing excellent privacy. He Yuhan prefers this place.
Han Yixian had already tidied up the house and made all the furniture, which was almost identical in style to He Yuhan's house in Laohewan Village, and was exactly what He Yuhan liked.
Since no one will be living in the house right away, household items and other necessities have not yet been purchased.
Han Yixian pulled He Yuhan into the bright and clean main room and said, "This is the new house I prepared for the two of us. We will live here after we get married."
The layout of the main house is almost the same as the houses in your old Hewan Village, except that there are a few more side rooms in the front yard, which can be used as guest rooms, so that guests can have a place to stay.
There's also a large backyard where you can plant whatever you want. The house also has heating, so it's very warm in winter.
The house has running water, and there's a hand pump well in the backyard, so getting water is very convenient.
He Yuhan toured the house and found it to be quite similar to her house in Laohewan Village. There was also a large living room in the middle, but instead of a heated kang bed, the west room had a large carved bed.
He Yuhan touched the carvings on the large bed and said, "This bed must have taken a lot of work to make."
Han Yixian said, "I found a very skilled old carpenter to make these. All the furniture in the house is also made by him. I saw that the furniture you designed yourself was quite nice, and you liked it, so I had them all made to resemble that design."
He Yuhan said, "So that's why you asked me for those furniture design drawings before, just to make these furniture pieces. You're quite good at keeping secrets."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "Isn't this to give you a surprise?"
After admiring the carved bed, He Yuhan visited other areas. The dining room in this house was not located in the living room, but in the back room, separated from the kitchen by a passageway leading to the backyard.
The toilet and small boiler room are also at the back. The overall structure of the house is similar to He Yuhan's house, with only minor modifications.
Han Yixian said, "This house is a bit far from the city center, so it's inconvenient to go shopping at the department store."
He Yuhan liked the house more and more as she looked at it, saying, "It's not far from the city center. The distance is just right, and it's quiet here."
He Yuhan went to the kitchen and saw that in addition to the stove with a large iron pot, there was also a cooking stove.
Nowadays, many people in the city use coal stoves for cooking. In the future, if they don't want to cook in a large pot, they can use coal stoves for cooking and boiling water, which is quite convenient.
In winter, when the heating is on, you can also boil water and cook food on the stove in the small boiler room.
The two then moved to the backyard. Although the backyard wasn't as large as the one in Laohewan Village, it was still quite spacious and could accommodate many things.
This is the city after all; if it weren't on the outskirts of the city, there wouldn't be such a large courtyard.
Because the house was newly built, there weren't any plants in the front and back yards yet, and now that winter is approaching, it's too late to plant anything. He Yuhan decided to start gradually planting more in the yard next spring.
After touring the place, He Yuhan was very satisfied. She said it would be great to live here if she got married in the future.
Han Yixian looked at He Yuhan's upturned lips and asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied? If there's anything you're not satisfied with, I'll have someone revise it."
He Yuhan said happily, "This is great. It would be very comfortable to live in such a house. Next spring I will get some fruit tree seedlings and plant a few fruit trees in the front and back yards, plant some climbing plants along the walls, plant some flowers and grass in the front yard, and plant vegetables in the back yard. Perfect."
