Wen Jinyu carried a vegetable basket, and Han Xiao followed behind her to the backyard. Seeing the rows of lush green vegetables growing in the backyard, Han Xiao felt his mood brighten up.
Han Xiao followed Wen Jinyu to the tomato trellis to pick tomatoes and said, "Jinyu, I want to marry you as soon as possible so that we can truly become a family."
Upon hearing Han Xiao's words, Wen Jinyu blushed and quickly bent down, pretending to look for a red tomato. Then she whispered, "I'll listen to Brother Qiming."
Han Xiao grinned upon hearing this, like a naive young man who was so happy to hear that his beloved had agreed to marry him that he almost jumped for joy.
Han Xiao said happily, "Then I will prepare a grand wedding and marry you in style."
Upon hearing this, Wen Jinyu quickly straightened up and refused, saying, "I don't want any grand wedding. We're already this old, almost old enough to hold our grandchildren, why would we need a wedding?"
Even Yi Xian and Yu Han kept their wedding simple, so we should be even more low-key. I think we should just invite some close relatives and friends and have a meal together.
You've only just arrived in City C and haven't started working yet, so it's best not to make a big fuss. You and Zeng Yufen have only been divorced for a short time, and you're already making a big show of marrying me; people will definitely gossip. It's better for us to keep a low profile.
We've missed out on decades already. I don't care about any wedding ceremony; as long as our family can live happily together, that's more important than anything else.
Han Xiao looked at Wen Jinyu and grabbed her hand, saying, "Jinyu, you're always so understanding and considerate of others. Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's have a meal with some relatives and friends this weekend, and that will be our wedding. To be honest, I really don't want to wait even a day longer. I'm just sorry to trouble you."
Wen Jinyu shook her head and said, "What's there to feel wronged about? This isn't the era when we had to be so particular about social status; we can't stand out too much. It's already a blessing from heaven that I was able to rekindle our relationship. Now I have a husband and children, a good daughter-in-law, and soon I'll have a grandson. I don't know how content I am."
I feel so happy right now, it's like I'm dreaming.
Han Xiao held Wen Jinyu's hand tightly and said, "You will be even happier in the future."
My younger sister, Xiuqin, is coming to City C this weekend; she can make it in time for our wedding.
Upon hearing this, Wen Jinyu exclaimed excitedly, "Xiuqin is coming? That's wonderful! We haven't seen each other for decades, and I wonder what she looks like now."
Han Xiao said, "Xiuqin said she wanted to personally offer her blessings to us and also see the girl you introduced to Qihua. I heard from Yixian that the girl is the aunt of the baby you found?"
Wen Jinyu nodded and said, "That's right. I've been thinking about Xiao Sitian ever since she left. Later, when Yuhan got pregnant, Yixian brought me to the city, and I went with Yixian to visit Xiao Sitian's family, which is the Cui family."
Seeing that Xiao Sitian is doing well, I feel relieved. Our two families live not far apart, so I invited the Cui family to visit.
A while ago, Xiao Sitian's grandmother, Bai Xiuyan, brought Xiao Sitian and her daughter, Cui Yuting, to visit our home. They happened to run into Qihua, who was coming over for dinner on the weekend.
I originally shared my thoughts with Bai Xiuyan, hoping to set Yuan Qihua and Cui Yuting up, but I didn't expect Qihua to fall for the girl first. Moreover, the Cui family is also very satisfied with Qihua, so they'll let them date and get to know each other better, and then get engaged after a while. We'll talk about marriage later.
Han Xiao said, "Xiuqin came here to see the girl's family. If the girl is really nice, Xiuqin will go directly to their home to propose marriage and get them engaged, settling the marriage in the first place. It's okay to get married a little later."
Xiuqin had worried a lot about her eldest and second sons' marriages. Her eldest son, Qiliang, was still unmarried, and he didn't like any of the girls she was introduced to. Good news from Qihua was a relief for her. "You've really helped her a lot this time."
Wen Jinyu smiled and said, "This is only right."
When Han Yixian returned home that evening, he was very happy to see his father. He was even happier to learn that his father was not working in the provincial capital, but had been transferred directly to City C. "Dad, now our whole family is reunited. Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I thought you were going to the provincial capital to take charge."
Han Xiao said, "I wanted to give you a surprise. Don't you think about it? Yuhan is pregnant. Can your mother come and live with me in the provincial capital? In the end, I'll be living alone in the provincial capital. That would be so boring. I don't want to be separated from your mother again. Besides, my grandson will be born soon. I still want to hold my grandson in my arms."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "Yuhan's pregnancy has disrupted your plans, but it's for the best. Our family will live together from now on, which is the best outcome."
Dinner was very lavish, and He Yuhan even brought out a bottle of fine wine and poured a glass for each of her father-in-law and husband.
Han Xiao picked up the wine his daughter-in-law had poured for him, smelled it, and sighed, "It smells so good. I've noticed that Yu Han always brings out good wine. I consider myself to have drunk quite a lot of good wine, but none of it feels as good as the wine Yu Han brings out."
He Yuhan smiled and said, "Dad, this wine is made from pure grains and contains medicinal herbs. Drinking a little bit is good for your health. But no matter what kind of wine it is, you shouldn't drink too much, because drinking too much is harmful to your health."
Today our whole family is reunited. Having a few drinks with Brother Yi will be a way to celebrate this family reunion.
Han Yixian said, "It's rare for our whole family to be together today, so we should celebrate."
Han Xiao smiled and said, "Coming to City C was the right decision for me. This is the life I wanted, living happily together as a family. This is what home feels like."
Since your grandfather passed away, and you're almost never home, I feel like I don't have a home anymore, and I'm incredibly lonely. Coming back to my place alone every day feels so desolate; sometimes I even feel like life has no meaning.
With red eyes, Wen Jinyu grabbed Han Xiao's arm and said, "Brother Qiming, we'll all be with you from now on. When your grandson is born, there will be one more person to keep you company, so you won't be lonely."
Han Yixian said, "Yes, Dad, you won't be lonely anymore with us by your side. And you'll be busy with the baby after it's born."
Come on, let's have a few drinks together today. With Yuhan around, you'll never lack your favorite tea and this delicious, mellow wine.
He Yuhan laughed and said, "Of course, I'll take care of all the tea and wine Dad drinks from now on."
Han Xiao said happily, "Then thank you in advance, daughter-in-law. Come on, son, it's been a long time since we've had a drink together. Let's have a few today."
The father and son started toasting each other. He Yuhan and Wen Jinyu served them food, encouraging them to eat more.
