Bai Xiuyan believed that her daughter was well-educated and would be a good wife. She said, "You don't know our daughter well. Although her education is not as good as Jian Chunhua's, her personality and character are much better. The fact that Sister Liu took a liking to her shows that our daughter is good."
Sister Liu said to let the two boys get to know each other first, and when they are ready, they will come to our house to propose marriage. At that time, Yuan Qihua's mother may also come.
We need to make preparations and settle things between Yuting and Yuan Qihua as soon as possible so I can feel at ease. Otherwise, if someone else snatches it away, wouldn't I be incredibly frustrated?
Cui Jiancheng said, "What does Yuting think? No matter how outstanding Yuan Qihua is, you can't force my daughter if she doesn't want to."
Bai Xiuyan rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who's materialistic and likes to climb the social ladder? Our Yuting has her eye on someone else too."
Yuan Qihua is a very handsome young man, and he and our Yuting look like a perfect match. He's such an outstanding young man; who wouldn't like such a promising and handsome young man?
Cui Jiancheng nodded and said, "As long as Yuting likes it, I'll support her."
Bai Xiuyan pouted and said, "I know, you're such a loving father, it's like I'm the stepmother. Don't I know how to be good to my daughter?"
That day, when we had dinner at Sister Liu's house, Yuan Qihua was a very polite young man. He was clearly well-mannered and knew how to take care of people. He wasn't arrogant or chauvinistic at all. It's a blessing for my daughter to marry such a man.
And don't let Han Yixian's strong and assertive exterior fool you; he treats his mother and wife incredibly well at home. He takes exceptional care of his wife, in particular.
Can you imagine? Han Yixian followed his wife around the kitchen the whole time, and even cooked for her. Wow, it's unbelievable how such a capable man treats his wife so well. He's much better than you.
I think Yuan Qihua and his cousin are probably not that different. Then I can rest easy knowing our daughter will get married in the future.”
Cui Jiancheng said, "What can we tell from the first impression? We need to investigate further, as this is related to our daughter's lifelong happiness."
Bai Xiuyan rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "How can I not consider this? Of course, we should let the two of them get to know each other first, and then get engaged after a while. If they get married, it will be next year at the earliest. A year is not enough time to investigate them."
Before summer vacation, Du Haifeng and Du Haichao took the entrance exam for junior high school and were admitted with perfect scores in both subjects. The principal and teachers of the school that Han Yixian found for them were overjoyed.
Who wouldn't want students with such excellent grades, especially two of them? With that, the schooling problem for the Du Haifeng brothers was finally solved.
He Yuhan also received a letter from Yue Tingshan, who also entered junior high school with a perfect score.
After Yue Tingshan returned home with his biological parents, he quickly wrote to He Yuhan to say that he was doing well. From then on, Yue Tingshan wrote to her every month, and He Yuhan would reply to him.
The two maintained contact, with Yue Tingshan writing to He Yuhan every month to tell her about his life and what was happening around him. He Yuhan would also share her own experiences in her replies.
Du Haifeng and his group had been corresponding with Yue Tingshan, but it was inconvenient to send and receive letters in Laohewan Village, so it took them a long time to receive their letters.
School is about to start, and He Yuhan has begun preparing school supplies for her two younger brothers.
When I was studying at home, I could do without some things, but when I went to school, I had to be fully prepared.
He Yuhan prepared school supplies for her two younger brothers, including schoolbags, pencil cases, pens, and notebooks. She also prepared a set of daily necessities for each of them, including bedding, washbasins, lunch boxes, and toothbrushes. Fearing that her adoptive parents would have to prepare double, she asked Han Yi to tell her adoptive parents that she had already prepared the school supplies for her two younger brothers when Han Yi delivered food to Liu Zhongyi's uncle, so that her adoptive parents would not have to prepare anything else.
Du Lianqiao and his wife had no choice but to accept their daughter's kindness.
That afternoon, He Yuhan and Wen Jinyu were sitting on chairs under the grape trellis in the yard, discussing a question from a medical book, when they suddenly heard a knock on the door. It was someone knocking on the yard gate.
Wen Jinyu arrived at the gate and asked, "Who is it?"
Then someone outside the door said, "Jinyu, it's me, I'm here."
Upon hearing Han Xiao's voice, Wen Jinyu quickly opened the courtyard gate, and Han Xiao was indeed standing outside.
Wen Jinyu said excitedly, "Brother Qiming, you're here! Come in quickly."
As she spoke, she pulled Han Xiao into the courtyard.
He Yuhan stood up when she heard the sound. Seeing her father-in-law carrying luggage into the yard with two other people, she said, "Dad, you've arrived. You must be tired from your journey. Please come in and rest."
Han Xiao looked at his daughter-in-law's pregnant belly and asked happily, "Are you alright?"
He Yuhan replied, "Now that my mom is taking care of me, I can eat and sleep well, and I've even gained weight."
Wen Jinyu said from the side, "Where are you fat? You're still a bit thin. You need to eat more to nourish your body."
Everyone went inside, and He Yuhan quickly brewed a pot of good tea for her father-in-law and poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them.
After finishing their tea, the two people who had come with Han Xiao left. Wen Jinyu wanted them to stay for dinner, but they refused no matter what.
With the outsiders gone, it was easier to talk to family members. He Yuhan asked, "Dad, you've been transferred to L Province this time. Will you be working in the provincial capital from now on?"
Han Xiao poured himself another cup of tea and said, "Now that you're pregnant, your mother will definitely have to stay by your side to take care of you. I also want to see my grandson every day from now on, so I transferred to City C."
Upon hearing this, Wen Jinyu said, "Oh, do you have a position of your level in City C? Wouldn't you be demoted again?"
Han Xiao laughed and said, "What's the big deal? As long as I can be with you and see my grandson every day, I'd be happy to be an ordinary citizen."
Besides, no job is inherently superior or inferior; it's just a matter of different roles. All jobs contribute to the country. Moreover, my rank hasn't been lowered much; I've only been transferred to a different job.
"Now I can live the life I've always dreamed of."
Wen Jinyu was overjoyed to hear that Han Xiao would be working in City C, meaning their whole family could live together. She could then take care of both her daughter-in-law and Han Xiao, achieving the best of both worlds.
He Yuhan checked the time and said, "Mom, we should make dinner now. Let's cook a few more dishes to celebrate our family reunion."
Wen Jinyu said, "Yes, cook more dishes. I'll go to the backyard to pick some vegetables."
Han Xiao quickly said, "Jinyu, I'll go with you and take a look at the vegetable garden in the backyard."
Knowing that her father-in-law wanted to spend time alone with her mother-in-law, He Yuhan didn't interfere and said, "Yixian brought back a piece of meat when he came back at noon. I'll cut it up and make braised pork for dinner."
