Because Han Xiao was in a hurry to get a marriage certificate with Wen Jinyu, they didn't linger in Laohewan Village. After giving Wen Jinyu a letter of introduction, they took Liu Zhongyi back to the city.
Liu Zhongyi was overjoyed to hear that Wen Jinyu and Han Xiao were getting married and wanted to attend their wedding banquet.
After Han Xiao and Wen Jinyu brought Liu Zhongyi home and had lunch, Han Xiao took Wen Jinyu to get their marriage certificate.
When they returned home, they were legally married. Han Xiao couldn't stop smiling all afternoon.
That evening, the whole family gathered together to celebrate Han Xiao and Wen Jinyu's marriage.
Liu Zhongyi raised his glass and said, "Qiming, Jinyu has suffered a lot in her life. For your sake, she never thought of marrying anyone else. Now that you two are finally together, it can be said that your suffering has finally come to an end. I hope you will treat her well in the future and not let her suffer any more grievances."
Han Xiao raised his glass and said, "The person I've wronged the most in my life is Jin Yu. Now I can finally make it up to her. I will treat her well from now on and never let her suffer again. I will make her happy."
Thank you for taking care of Jinyu in the past, brother. You are Jinyu's older brother, and you will be my older brother too. From now on, we are family.
Han Yixian also raised his glass and said, "Without my uncle, there would be no family reunion. From now on, my uncle will be my own uncle, and Yuhan and I will take care of you in your old age."
He Yuhan also said, "Yes, from now on, your uncle will be our own uncle, and I will take care of you in your old age. We want you to live with us in the city."
Liu Zhongyi looked at He Yuhan and smiled, "You and Yixian are both good kids. But to be honest, I'm really enjoying my life in Laohewan Village now. I teach a group of innocent and lovely children every day, and I feel very happy when they call me teacher."
I never imagined that I, Liu Zhongyi, would one day be a teacher, educating and nurturing others. I cherish this time.
Besides, I'm used to living in the countryside. Now you're making me live in the city, and I'm actually not used to it. You often bring me food, and I'm living a comfortable life. You really don't need to worry about me.”
Wen Jinyu said, "Brother, without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's only right that Yixian and the others take care of you in your old age. Just treat them like your own children, and don't be polite to them if you need anything in the future."
After dinner, Han Yixian moved all of his father's belongings to his mother's room and arranged for his uncle to stay in the room his father used to live in.
Han Xiao praised his son for being sensible and considerate of his father.
Wen Jinyu's face remained red as she watched her son move Han Xiao's belongings into her room, but she didn't stop him. She knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. Besides, she and Han Xiao had already registered their marriage; they were legally married and should live together.
Han Xiao was so excited and thrilled to finally be with the woman he loved that he was like a young man, and they stayed up all night.
Han Yixian also benefited from his parents' wedding night and had a little taste of virginity, feeling very happy, just like on his wedding night.
Han Yixian, understanding that his father was getting old and might not be able to keep up, got up early in the morning to stew chicken soup in the kitchen.
Liu Zhongyi got up early and saw Han Yixian busy in the kitchen, so he went in as well. "Yixian, what are you making for breakfast? Do you need my help?"
Han Yixian said, "I'll stew some chicken soup first. My dad is a bit old to be a groom, and I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it. I'll stew some chicken soup for him to nourish his body. My mom isn't in good health either, so she needs to nourish herself too."
Liu Zhongyi chuckled and said, "You little rascal, don't say that in front of your dad, or he'll beat you up."
Han Yixian said with a grin, "I understand. This is a matter of a man's dignity, so of course I won't say it to his face."
"Uncle, my mom told me you love beef noodles. How about I make you some this morning? Yuhan braised the beef herself last night for today, and I happen to have some time this morning, so I'll show off my skills."
Liu Zhongyi laughed and said, "You can even make beef noodles? Did you learn it from Yuhan?"
Han Yixian chuckled and said, "To be honest, I also love beef noodles, so I learned a more authentic way to make beef noodles from Yuhan. I've made it a few times already, so I'm quite confident in my skills."
Liu Zhongyi sighed, "When I was young, it was no big deal to have a bowl of beef noodles as long as I had money, but now there's nowhere to get beef, let alone eat beef noodles."
Cattle are livestock used for plowing, and now they all belong to the collective. They're never slaughtered unless there's an accident, so it's really hard to get beef these days. I'll take advantage of this opportunity to have some beef today. I'll help you start the fire; a big pot is so much more convenient.”
Han Yixian had already prepared the dough and let it rest. He also put the chicken soup on the stove to simmer before starting to roll out the dough.
Liu Zhongyi skillfully lit the fire on the large stove, and beef broth was already in the pot.
By the time Han Yixian had rolled out and cut the dough, the beef broth in the large pot was already boiling. The rich aroma permeated the kitchen and continued to spread outwards, even attracting Han Xiao to get out of bed.
At this time, He Yuhan also got up and washed up, and went to the backyard to pick cilantro, which would be perfect to put in the beef noodles.
Han Xiao came to the kitchen and saw his son and brother-in-law busy at work. He asked, "What are you making? It smells so good, it's making my stomach rumble."
Han Yixian and Liu Zhongyi both looked up to observe Han Xiao's expression, which puzzled Han Xiao, who asked, "What are you looking at?"
Han Yi didn't dare to say anything, fearing he would be punished by his father.
Liu Zhongyi was no longer afraid and said, "Let me see if you can still stand firm."
Han Xiao immediately understood what Liu Zhongyi meant, puffed out his chest and said, "Although I'm not as good as I was when I was young, I'm still better than most young people these days. I'm doing very well now."
"Yi Xian, make some nourishing soup for your mother to help her recover."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "You don't need to remind me. I've already been stewing chicken soup with medicinal herbs, just to help you all recover. You should have some too. At your age, you need to take it easy."
Han Xiao rolled his eyes at his son and said, "You brat, how dare you make fun of your old man. If I wasn't worried about Yuhan, I would have given you a good beating."
Han Yixian chuckled and said, "You're just saying that. Now that my mom and my wife are here, you have no chance. Don't you agree, Uncle?"
Liu Zhongyi laughed and said, "That's right. If your dad dares to touch you, your mom and your wife will both object."
"Alright, Qiming, check if Jinyu is up yet; it'll be time for dinner soon. Today, Yixian personally cooked beef noodles."
Han Xiao said, "I've been thinking about Yuhan's braised beef since yesterday. Let's try our son's cooking together today. Yixian, you make the noodles. Your mother is already up. She's just too shy to come out. She'll get used to it."
Han Xiao was in a good mood. His wife was with him, and his son and brother-in-law were making breakfast. His daughter-in-law was also helping out. It was a very warm and cozy morning.
