Han Yixian looked at his younger cousin, who had suddenly fallen silent, and knew what he was thinking, but he didn't point it out.
He picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into Yuan Qiwen's hand, saying, "Don't think about anything else for now, eat your fill first. Look how thin you are, you've only grown taller."
Yuan Qiwen sniffed and ate his meal silently with his head down.
Han Yixian and Liu Gang exchanged a glance, and Liu Gang lowered his head and chuckled to himself.
I wonder what will happen when Yuan Qiwen sees Yuhan.
Yuan Qiwen hadn't eaten much on the train journey, and now he was starving. He ate as much as Han Yixian and Liu Gang put on his plate, until he was stuffed.
After finishing his meal, Yuan Qiwen took out the things his uncle had asked him to bring to his cousin and said, "Cousin, my uncle asked me to bring you a box of things. He said it's an engagement gift for his future daughter-in-law. He also gave you some money and coupons so you can buy some things for her."
Han Yixian took the gift from his cousin, opened the box, and found it was full of expensive jewelry, all for women. His father really put his heart into it.
Yuan Qiwen looked at the box of jewelry, pouted, and finally couldn't help but say, "Big cousin, are you really engaged to someone else? Didn't you say that you would only have Yuhan as your wife for the rest of your life?"
Although I know what you're saying is impossible, and you'll definitely get married again in the future, this is too fast. Yuhan has only been gone for a year, and you've already forgotten her and are going to marry another woman. I feel sorry for Yuhan.”
Looking at his younger cousin's indignant expression on Yuhan's behalf, Han Yixian thought to himself that Yuhan had made a worthwhile friend.
Han Yi first patted his cousin's head and said, "What do you know, kid? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I won't want anyone but Yuhan in this life, you can rest assured about that."
Tomorrow is the weekend, I'll take you somewhere, and you'll see what happens when we get there.
Yuan Qiwen was a bit confused by his cousin's actions and felt that something was wrong. He asked Liu Gang, but Liu Gang kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal a single word.
Early the next morning, Han Yixian, along with Liu Gang and Yuan Qiwen, drove to Laohewan Village with the gifts his father had given to He Yuhan.
The heavy snow a while ago disrupted transportation, and he hadn't seen his fiancée for some time, missing her terribly.
Although the roads are better now, there is still ice and snow, so drivers need to be extra careful. This time, Han Yixian didn't dare let Liu Gang drive and had to do it himself.
Along the way, Yuan Qiwen kept asking Han Yixian and Liu Gang where they were going. Han Yixian only said they were going to his fiancée's house, which made Yuan Qiwen angry. He felt that going to see his cousin's current fiancée was like betraying his friendship with He Yuhan.
Yuan Qiwen remained silent the entire way. Han Yixian found his younger cousin's demeanor amusing. Liu Gang also kept secretly chuckling to himself.
The road was bad and the car was moving slowly; it took more than two hours to finally reach Laohewan Village.
When Yuan Qiwen saw that his older cousin had brought him to the countryside, he wondered if his older cousin had found another country girl to be his wife.
Han Yixian and his group set off early, arriving at Laohewan Village before nine o'clock. There were no patients at the clinic yet, so He Yuhan was still at home.
Han Yi drove the car directly into He Yuhan's courtyard.
The people inside saw Han Yixian's car, and He Yuhan came out to greet them.
Liu Gang saw He Yuhan come out and called out, "Yuhan, look who's here."
Yuan Qiwen was stunned when he saw He Yuhan. How could Yuhan have come back to life? He was both surprised and overjoyed. He ran to He Yuhan and looked at the living person in front of him with tears in his eyes. He said excitedly, "Yuhan, you didn't die? That's wonderful."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "I was never dead to begin with."
Yuan Qiwen suddenly realized what had been wrong earlier.
He didn't dare complain to his older cousin, but turned to glare at Liu Gang and said, "Gangzi, you're really not a good friend. You didn't even tell me that Yuhan was still alive. I thought my cousin was engaged to another woman, and I felt sorry for Yuhan. You're not a good friend at all. Looks like we need to have a little chat."
Liu Gang laughed and said, "It was Brother Xian who said he wouldn't tell you yet, that he wanted to give you a surprise. So don't blame me."
Seeing Yuan Qiwen's reluctance to argue with Han Yixian and his apparent defeat, He Yuhan smiled and said, "It's cold outside, come inside and warm up. I'll cook you something delicious for lunch."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qiwen was delighted and said, "Yuhan, I've been craving your cooking. It's so great to be able to eat it again. My cousin is so unfair. If I had known you were here, I would have come much sooner."
Han Yixian said, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd neglect your studies and come here. It's not too late for you to know now. Come on, let's go inside and meet Uncle He and the others."
Upon seeing the arrival of the visitors, He Chenglin and Yu Huiru were already waiting in the living room.
After everyone introduced themselves, they sat down to talk.
Yuan Qiwen was still somewhat bewildered. Yu Han had even found her biological parents, and the He family was of considerable status. Yu Han was no longer a country girl but a city dweller. The change was truly astounding.
His aunt had initially looked down on Yuhan because of her family background, but now she'd been thoroughly proven wrong. However, his older cousin's marriage was no longer her concern. Her attitude was irrelevant now.
Han Yixian took out the gift his father had asked his cousin to bring and said, "Yuhan, my father asked Qiwen to bring you an engagement gift this time. It's a token of his affection, please accept it."
He Yuhan took the exquisite wooden box, opened it, and was immediately dazzled. The box was filled with exquisite jewelry, which, in He Yuhan's eyes, were no ordinary items.
She quickly closed the box and pushed it towards Han Yixian, saying, "I can't accept something so valuable."
Han Yixian said, "If you don't take them back, he will definitely feel bad. These are all family heirlooms of the Han family. If you don't take them, they may end up in Zeng Yufen's hands in the future."
Upon hearing this, He Yuhan said, "Then I'll keep it. I can't let an outsider benefit from it."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "You're right to think that way. We should accept whatever my dad gives us in the future; it's better than letting outsiders benefit from it."
The conversation between Han Yixian and He Yuhan left the others completely bewildered. He Chenglin, however, sensed something was amiss; he felt that his daughter and son-in-law must be hiding something from them.
However, since his daughter and son-in-law must have their reasons for not saying anything, he didn't ask any further questions.
After everyone had been talking for a while, Han Yixian said, "The heavy snow a few days ago caused the animals in the mountains to lack food and come down from the mountains to forage. Some villages have already been attacked by wild animals in the mountains."
Although there's a hedge around the yard, I still need to reinforce the wooden fence around the house. That way, even large animals like wild boars won't be able to get in.
From now on, the children should try to go out to play less, and when they do go out, we must be extra careful. Yuhan, in particular, needs to be extra cautious when going out.
Yu Huiru said, "Oh dear, we really need to be careful. It would be troublesome if we really encountered a wild boar. I also need to keep a close eye on the children at home."
