Han Yixian has been teaching the children since He Yuhan left.
When he arrived at the school, he was surprised to find many young women outside the classrooms where the children were having their lessons. When they saw him, they all moved aside and stared at him with shining eyes.
Han Yixian's keen ears caught someone whispering among them, "Oh my, so this is Dr. He's fiancé. He's really handsome. No wonder they're all vying to come and see him."
"I wish I had a partner that handsome."
"You really dare to dream big, don't you even know who they are?"
"Compared to others, the men in our family are all ugly and deformed."
"This young doctor He is really lucky to have found such a handsome partner."
“It’s not a good thing that this man is too handsome; he’s easy for other women to have their eyes on. Someone like the one in our family is much more reliable.”
"That's right, the more handsome a man is, the more promiscuous he is. He's used to being pampered by women and doesn't know how to cherish them. Could it be that this Dr. He is only after his handsome appearance?"
...
As Han Yixian listened in the classroom, his face grew darker and darker, frightening the students below into shrinking back.
These people were all young women and wives from Laohewan Village. They had heard that Dr. Xiaohe's fiancé was coming to give a lecture to the village children and they all wanted to come and see his handsome face.
Han Yixian had visited Laohewan Village several times, and many people had seen him, so the rumor that Dr. He's fiancé was very handsome spread. Everyone was curious and wanted to see what Han Yixian actually looked like.
However, Han Yixian usually stayed at He Yuhan's house and rarely came out, so the villagers rarely saw him. Now that Han Yixian had come to the school to teach the children, they finally had the chance to see him in person.
Some young girls blushed with embarrassment when they saw the handsome Han Yixian.
Han Yixian lost all interest in teaching and told the children to study on their own. He then walked out of the classroom with a dark expression. He didn't want to be a laughingstock for these women. Besides, he had promised He Yuhan that he wouldn't let any woman get close to him. Even just watching wasn't an option.
He went directly to Liang Shouzhen and explained the situation, saying that if any more women went to the school to watch, he would not go to teach the children.
Liang Shouzhen was furious when he heard this. He immediately rushed to the school and, seeing the group of young women and wives waiting outside the classroom, his anger flared up. He glared at them and yelled, "What are you all doing here? Are you all just bored and have nothing better to do? Comrade Han is teaching the children, what are you doing here making a scene?"
"Are you all asking for a beating? Get yourselves home right now! Don't embarrass yourselves here. If anyone comes here again, I'll have your families and the men in charge discipline you. This is outrageous!"
A group of young women and wives, thoroughly embarrassed by Liang Shouzhen's scolding, hurriedly went home.
Han Yi waited until everyone had left before returning to the school to continue teaching the children.
He was thinking about He Yuhan, and after finishing his classes with the children, he would wait at his doorstep, hoping that He Yuhan would return as soon as possible.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long; he saw his car driving back from a distance right in front of his house.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw He Yuhan return.
He Yuhan saw Han Yixian waiting at the door from afar, and she knew that Han Yixian was worried about her.
She parked the car at the gate and said, "Brother Han, open the gate, I'll drive the car into the yard."
Upon hearing this, Han Yixian quickly opened the two large gates, and He Yuhan drove the car into the yard and parked it not far from the doorway.
Han Yi closed the courtyard gate and went to the car. He looked through the car window and saw that the car was full of boxes and bags.
After getting out of the car, He Yuhan opened the door and said, "I brought back a lot of things this time, let's move them into the house."
Han Yixian grabbed He Yuhan's hand and said, "Look how cold your hands are, they must be frozen."
He Yuhan said, "It's okay, it's not that cold in the car."
Han Yi first took He Yuhan's hand and brought it to his mouth, breathing on it to warm it up. He said, "I'll unload the truck. Don't worry about it. Go inside and rest for a while to warm up."
He Yuhan said, "There's quite a lot of stuff, let's move it together. That way it'll be faster. I'll cook something delicious for you tonight."
Han Yixian said, "Alright, I'll take the heavy ones, you can take the light ones."
The two of them then began unloading the truck.
The car was packed full by He Yuhan, with lighter items on top and heavier items like food on the bottom.
After moving things a few times, Han Yixian stopped He Yuhan from doing anything, saying, "You go and pack these things, I'll carry the heavy ones."
He Yuhan didn't argue anymore, and opened the storage room door, putting some things into the storage room.
Han Yixian didn't know what was inside the large cardboard boxes, but most of them were quite heavy. Looking at the boxes at the bottom, he saw grain and frozen meat.
He Yuhan said, "These frozen meats are kept in a large vat in the front yard. The vat with the lid on becomes a natural refrigerator, and things placed inside can be frozen very solid and preserved for a long time."
Han Yixian nodded and said, "That's a good idea."
Following He Yuhan's instructions, Han Yixian carried the sack of meat directly to the large vat under the eaves.
He Yuhan opened the burlap sack and took out the already cut pieces of pork and beef, arranging them neatly in a large vat.
He Yuhan brought back two sacks of pork, one sack of beef, many chickens and ducks, and about ten large carp. They were all frozen solid, perfect for storing in a large vat.
Han Yixian was surprised to see so much meat and asked, "How did you manage to bring back so much meat? This big vat can't possibly hold it all."
He Yuhan said, "This is still a lot. There are many people in our family, and giving some to my parents and Uncle Liang's family won't be much. You are all here with me, so I need to make sure you have a good meal to nourish your bodies."
We don't need to put all this meat in the big vat. We'll eat some tonight, and then take some more to my parents and Uncle Liang's house later. That'll be about it."
Han Yixian felt that He Yuhan was like a nouveau riche, very generous and always very generous to the people around her.
He Yuhan immediately set aside a large piece of pork to thaw and make braised pork for dinner. She also set aside a large carp to make braised fish.
My father can't eat spicy food, so I can't make spicy boiled fish.
After Han Yi finished moving several sacks of chicken, duck, fish and meat, he put the rest into a large vat, leaving the rest for others, and then weighed the vat lid down with a large stone to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
After putting the meat away, Han Yixian carried the grain into the house.
He Yuhan brought back mostly refined grains like rice, wheat flour, and millet, and there was plenty of cornmeal at home. Besides, she didn't plan to eat cornmeal for a while; she intended to feed her family rice and wheat flour so they could gain weight.
