Gu Qishen thought for a while in silence and then said, "The method you suggested should be the most feasible one. The premise is that your cousin must be reliable and cannot be allowed to betray Yuhan."
Han Yixian said, "Don't worry about that. I won't let him know that the information came from Yuhan. He will only know that I provided it."
However, I will have Yuhan participate in the research as well. I want to improve Yuhan's standing in the medical community through this research, and also stop those idle people from gossiping about her.
Gu Qishen laughed and said, "You're standing up for Yuhan. That's true, those people are blind. They always feel that Yuhan is not good enough for you, but they don't know that Yuhan's abilities are in no way inferior to yours."
However, Yuhan is very low-key and doesn't care about fame or fortune. That's why she has remained unknown.
"You're always sneaking around like this, aren't you? If I weren't already married with a child and no longer eligible, I would definitely compete with you for Yuhan's affections."
Han Yixian glanced smugly at Gu Qishen and said, "Even if you had the qualifications, you wouldn't have the chance. Yuhan and I have long been in love. She said that if it weren't me, it wouldn't be anyone else. She has always had me in her heart."
Gu Qishen snorted and said, "Then didn't you still make her sad and upset? If you hadn't been lucky enough to find out that Yuhan wasn't dead, you wouldn't have the good life you have today."
Han Yixian said, "So it seems that God still wants lovers to be together in the end. Yuhan and I will still be together in the end. You should find a suitable woman to marry as soon as possible, so that Huayang can have a mother."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qishen immediately glared at him and said, "You haven't forgotten, have you? We made a promise that after you and Yuhan get married, Yuhan will be Huayang's godmother. You can't go back on your word."
Han Yixian said helplessly, "I remember. If you find Huayang a mother, then my Yuhan won't have to be his godmother."
Gu Qishen snorted and said, "Don't worry, I won't find a mother for Huayang. It would be best if Huayang could recognize Yuhan as his godmother in the future. But you can't escape either; you'll have to be Huayang's godfather too. Huayang will need your help in the future."
Han Yi shook his head and laughed, "You rascal, so you've got your eye on me too. Alright, we'll definitely take care of Huayang from now on. He's already Yuhan's darling, do I need to tell him that?"
"You've saved yourself a lot of trouble by leaving the child with the He family. Huayang is now fair-skinned, chubby, and has a lot of older and younger brothers to play with every day. He shows no trace of his usual quiet and introverted nature; he's so happy every day."
Gu Qishen sighed, "This child is more fortunate than me to have a happy childhood. It's also thanks to the He family's help; otherwise, I don't know what would have become of the child."
At that time, seeing my child's quiet and reserved nature, I even thought he had intellectual disabilities. Later, I learned that his autism was caused by his environment.
Fortunately, the child gradually recovered after being taken to the He family's home.
Han Yixian said, "You don't need to worry anymore, Huayang is doing very well now. Seriously, I'm not kidding, are you really not planning to look for someone else?"
Gu Qishen sighed and said, "To be honest, I wasn't really interested in it to begin with. Now that someone in Huayang is helping me take care of it, I'm even less interested."
"Alright, let's not talk about me anymore. When are you planning to go see your cousin?"
Han Yixian said, "I plan to go back to Kyoto after the New Year to have a good talk with my cousin. He works at a research institute now, and to get him to come out, he needs to show me something real. I need to prepare."
Gu Qishen said, "Then I'll start looking for other staff members, and I'll also find a good location for the laboratory."
Han Yixian said, "Yuhan said she'll figure out a way to get the experimental equipment. Let's split up and work on it."
Gu Qishen asked, "How is the child that Yuhan took in doing? Haven't you heard from his parents yet?"
Han Yixian shook his head and said, "I have already dispatched a lot of forces, but I don't know when I will get any news."
Gu Qishen said, "Give me a copy of the child's information, and we'll send people to look for him. Many hands make light work."
Han Yixian was naturally willing to help Gu Qishen, and immediately gave Gu Qishen some information about Yueting Mountain.
After discussing it, the two of them threw themselves back into their busy work.
In mid-December, a heavy snowfall finally fell in the C city area, much to everyone's delight.
The villagers of Laohewan Village all ran out of their houses when they saw the snow falling, and grinned as they watched the heavy snowflakes falling from the sky.
People wished for even heavier snowfall, so that the drought next year could be alleviated more severely. Moreover, with the snow falling on the mountains, the Longwan River would have no shortage of water to irrigate the fields when the snow melted next year.
This year, not only Laohewan Village has been making great efforts to dig canals and repair farmland irrigation, but other villages have also realized the importance of farmland irrigation. Even in the dead of winter when the ground was frozen, some villages did not stop digging canals.
The heavy snow fell for a full day and night. The snow was so thick it was almost knee-deep.
The villagers have to sweep the snow off their roofs every now and then, in case the snow is too thick and the roofs collapse.
The snow stopped just before dawn the next day. After daybreak, the villagers all came out of their homes to shovel the snow from the roads. They especially cleared the roads leading to the school, making sure the children could get there on their own. Even the road from He Yuhan's house to the school was cleared by the villagers.
As soon as it was light, He Yuhan climbed the ladder and roughly swept the snow off the roof, and then began sweeping the snow in the yard.
Her three younger brothers also helped out. Yu Huiru made breakfast.
They first cleared the path leading to the pump and the chicken coop, then cleaned the chicken coop. They left the snow in the backyard to melt whenever it would.
The snow in the front yard has been mostly cleared away, and the snow has been piled up under the tree wall. This will keep the tree wall warm, and the trees can be watered when the snow melts.
On a whim, He Yuhan and her younger brothers built two snowmen in the yard, and the younger brothers and the two little ones looked at the snowmen with great curiosity.
The courtyard was filled with laughter and joy.
He Chenglin watched the children playing happily outside from the living room window and smiled along. He looked much better now, and no longer felt chest tightness or shortness of breath. He felt his illness was basically cured, and his mood had naturally improved considerably.
He is now being taken care of by his wife and daughter every day, and he is living a very comfortable life. He even wants to retire and live a peaceful old age at home.
Yu Huiru carried the food into the living room and said, "Old He, it's time to eat."
He Chenglin quickly moved the kang table in his room to the middle and then took the rice bowl from his wife.
He still eats alone; he's gotten used to it.
After breakfast, everyone went about their own business.
