He Yuhan watched as the two placed the plates on the table and discovered they contained scallion pancakes, a plate of scrambled eggs, and a plate of pickled vegetables.
Han Yixian saw He Yuhan come out of the room and said, "Yuhan, come and have breakfast." Then he turned around and introduced, "Yuhan, this is Yuan Qihua, my aunt's second cousin."
Yuan Qihua noticed a flash of amazement in He Yuhan's eyes and quickly greeted her, "Hello, sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you today."
He thought to himself that his cousin was really taking advantage of a young woman; his cousin's wife was so young, he wondered if she was even an adult yet. No wonder his cousin was so nervous, his cousin's wife was truly beautiful, a real beauty.
He Yuhan smiled calmly without any stage fright and said, "Hello, I often hear your older cousin and Qiwen praising you. I've been wanting to get to know you for a long time."
Yuan Qiwen rushed up to He Yuhan, looked her up and down, and said, "Yuhan, this really scared me to death. Thank goodness you came back unharmed, otherwise my cousin would have turned into a wooden statue, keeping everyone at arm's length again."
Han Yixian rolled his eyes at his younger cousin and said, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak."
He served the millet porridge and said, "Yuhan, come and eat. You two should sit down and eat too."
He Yuhan came to the dining table, looked at the food on it, and said, "It's really good. Your cooking skills are getting better and better."
Han Yixian continued serving porridge to everyone, smiling as he said, "I don't know how to cook many dishes yet, but I will continue to learn. In the future, I can cook for everyone without you having to lift a finger."
He Yuhan said, "You're so busy with work, how can I always ask you to cook? It's enough that you mean it. As long as a couple can be tolerant and understanding of each other, it doesn't matter who does more housework."
Yuan Qiwen was jealous of his cousin and He Yuhan's public display of affection and protested, "Cousin, Yuhan, there are two single men standing here. Don't you have to consider our feelings too?"
Sitting at the dinner table, He Yuhan couldn't resist teasing Yuan Qiwen, "If you're so envious, go find one! I think Aunt Han would welcome you with open arms. Brother Yuan hasn't found his other half yet, Aunt Han must be worried. If you bring her a daughter-in-law home, she'll be very happy."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qiwen seemed startled and quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, I'm still in school, I'm not thinking about finding a partner yet. Please spare me."
Han Yixian said, "Yuhan, from now on you will call Qiliang and the others by their names. They will all have to call you sister-in-law from me. Qiwen will also have to call you sister-in-law from now on."
Yuan Qiwen chuckled and said, "I'm used to calling her Yuhan by her name, so I can't get used to calling her sister-in-law right away."
He Yuhan said, "It's okay to call each other by name. We're good friends. It's fine if we each keep our own relationship."
Sitting at the table with her, Yuan Qihua found that his cousin-in-law had a really good personality. She was cheerful and generous, and gave people a very friendly feeling. It was very comfortable to be around her.
He Yuhan said, "Second Brother Yuan, please eat quickly, don't be shy, try your Brother Han's cooking."
Yuan Qihua smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, this is the first time I've eaten my cousin's cooking. I'll have to try it."
Everyone was satisfied with the breakfast. Yuan Qihua also confirmed that his older cousin really could cook, and his culinary skills were quite good. It seems his older cousin is developing into a good, domestic husband.
After clearing away the dishes, Han Yi first invited everyone to sit in the living room to drink tea and chat.
Yuan Qiwen asked He Yuhan about the kidnapping, and He Yuhan told him only what she could.
Yuan Qiwen exclaimed in amazement, "Yuhan, you're amazing! You remained calm in the face of danger and even launched a counterattack against the enemy. That was truly brilliant. Those people were unlucky to have met you. They thought you were a weak woman, but they didn't know you were incredibly capable. They deserved their misfortune."
Han Yixian sat on the sofa, drinking tea, and said to his second cousin, who was sitting beside him, "Qihua, how's work at your company? Are you happy with it?"
Yuan Qihua didn't hide anything from his older cousin and told him the truth: "I've only been out of school for two years, and I'm just an assistant to some experts. You know, where I'm from, seniority matters too."
Moreover, research funding is currently tight, and I don't yet have the experience to lead a project independently. I need at least a few more years of experience to take charge of something on my own.
Han Yixian nodded and asked, "If you were to take on this business all by yourself right now, would you be confident in your abilities?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qihua stopped drinking his tea and looked at his cousin curiously, asking, "Why do you ask that, cousin?"
Han Yixian said, "Even if you hadn't come today, I would have come to find you. Come inside with me, I have something to tell you."
With that, Han Yixian picked up his teacup and got up to go into his old room. Yuan Qihua followed him in.
One of them sat on the bed, and the other sat on the chair opposite them.
Han Yixian got straight to the point: "I want to establish a medical research lab in City C, specializing in antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. We will gradually expand it into a research institute."
To be honest, I have readily available research data that has already yielded results, such as effective drugs for treating tuberculosis. All you need to do is use this data to develop a finished product.
Meanwhile, a pharmaceutical factory will be built in City C to produce these medicines. I have a mature production process.
Yuan Qihua found his cousin's words unbelievable. He said incredulously, "Cousin, are you kidding me? I know a little about the effective drug for treating tuberculosis. It was only recently invented in the world. It's only just started small-scale production, and our country is organizing manpower to research it. You're telling me you already have research results and a mature production process? This is simply too unbelievable."
Seeing that his cousin didn't believe him, Han Yixian got up and went to the doorway, saying to He Yuhan in the living room, "Yuhan, could you show those research materials to Qihua?"
He Yuhan nodded, got up and went back to the inner room to take out the research data on streptomycin from her spatial storage.
She handed it to Han Yixian as soon as she returned to the living room.
Han Yixian took the documents and went back into the house, handing them to his cousin and saying, "These are research data on streptomycin, a highly effective drug for treating tuberculosis. You're an expert, you can take a look."
Yuan Qihua took the documents from his cousin with suspicion and began to read them carefully.
He's a professional in this field; he can tell at a glance whether the information is authentic.
The more he looked, the more serious and excited he became. After he finished reading the information, he could hardly believe it and exclaimed excitedly, "Cousin, where did you get this information? It could very well be real!"
Han Yixian rolled his eyes at his cousin and said, "This is really true, okay? I don't just have this one drug; I also have research data on other antibiotics. I need someone to take responsibility for their reputation as researchers and to do the final refinement. If you weren't my cousin, you wouldn't have gotten this opportunity."
Give me a straight answer: are you going or not?
