Han Xiao wanted Liu Zhongyi to stay at his house for a while, but with school starting soon, Liu Zhongyi was worried about the children in Laohewan Village going to school. He had to go teach the children and prepare his lessons in advance, so he refused to stay any longer.
Seeing that he couldn't keep his uncle, Han Yixian drove him back to Laohewan Village and picked up Du Haifeng and his brother in the city. It was almost time for them to start school, so he wanted to get to the city early to prepare for their registration.
Du Lianqiao and his wife were very worried about their daughter. When they finally met their son-in-law, they held Han Yi's hand and asked him a lot of questions. They were relieved to learn that their daughter was doing well.
Knowing that their two sons would be starting school soon, Du Lianqiao and his wife prepared everything they would need. They prepared two bags of food, intending to exchange them for meal tickets at school for the children's food expenses.
In addition to grain, Wang Yuqiao also prepared some pickled vegetables for her two sons. If they couldn't afford vegetables, these pickled vegetables would at least give their meals some saltiness.
Du Lianqiao said, "Yixian, I don't know how long these two bags of grain will last the two children. If they run out, we'll send them more."
Han Yixian had already been instructed by He Yuhan, so he directly refused, saying, "There's no need to bring any food. Yuhan has already prepared it. You all need to eat at home, so you don't need to worry about Haifeng and Haichao's meals."
Wang Yuqiao hurriedly said from the side, "How can that be? You've already helped us a lot. How can you be responsible for the food of these two children? You also eat government-supplied food. You'll have children in the future, so you need to think about your own lives. You'd better be more careful with your money in the future."
Han Yixian smiled at his mother-in-law's anxious expression and said, "Don't worry, don't you know Yuhan's abilities? Besides, we still have me, don't we? We don't rely entirely on food supplies to make a living."
Don't worry about Haifeng and Haichao studying in the city. Although they live at school, they can come to our house to stay overnight on weekends. If there are any school holidays, I'll send them back to see you.
If you miss them, you can go to the city to see them. They have a place to stay at their home; you can go directly there.
Han Yixian forcefully refused the grain and other food that his parents-in-law had prepared for Du Haifeng and his brother.
The three children in the Du family were all growing and ate a lot. Even with He Yuhan's occasional help, food was scarce, and they were lucky if they could barely get enough to eat.
That's why He Yuhan took the initiative to provide meals for her two younger brothers; otherwise, their adoptive parents would have provided enough food for them, leaving them to go hungry at home.
She didn't want that to happen.
In these times of plenty, the Du family is already living a very good life, as long as they have enough to eat. He Yuhan doesn't dare give her adoptive parents too much food, for fear of attracting the covetousness of others.
Han Yi first took his two brothers-in-law home.
Du Haifeng and Du Haichao hadn't seen their sister for a long time, and they were overjoyed to see her this time.
He Yuhan was also happy to see her younger brother and asked, "Haifeng, are Mom and Dad alright?"
Du Haifeng nodded and said, "They're all fine. The village is very busy right now."
The saplings you bought for the village have all survived, and many of them even bore fruit this year. Although it wasn't much, it made the villagers extremely happy.
Uncle Liang treasures those fruit trees. He said he would distribute all the fruit this year to each family so that the children could have it as a snack.
The cherries on the cherry tree were sweet and sour, so delicious! It was the first time I'd ever eaten cherries. There weren't many, though, so Uncle Liang distributed them all to the families.
The grape, apple, hawthorn, and jujube trees are all bearing fruit and growing very well. The walnut and hazelnut trees are also growing well. Uncle Liang said that next year they will bear even more fruit, giving the village another source of income.
He Yuhan nodded and smiled, "Once the fruit production increases, there's no need to worry about not being able to sell it. Your brother-in-law can handle it all in the city."
We'll look for some new varieties to try planting later, to enrich the variety of fruit trees.
Haifeng, have you been studying the medical books I gave you?
Du Haifeng nodded and said, "I've been learning all along. Sister, I have so many questions I don't understand, and I'm just waiting to ask you. You're pregnant now, can you explain them to me? My brother-in-law said you can't overwork yourself."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "How can answering your questions be tiring? What questions do you have? Let me see them. I'll try to solve them all before your school starts."
"You mustn't neglect your medical studies in the future. Come to my house on weekends or holidays, and I'll teach you some new things."
Du Haifeng nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry, I won't neglect my medical studies even at school. I also want to be a doctor like you, to heal the sick and save lives."
He Yuhan patted her younger brother and laughed, "You have ambition. No matter what happens, don't give up on studying medicine. In the future, I will teach you Western medicine. When you combine Chinese and Western medicine, you will have more ways to treat diseases. If Chinese medicine can't cure it, you can choose Western medicine, or a combination of Chinese and Western medicine."
This is a great direction for development. If you persevere, you will definitely achieve something.
He Yuhan turned to her second brother, Du Haichao, who had been listening silently, and asked, "Haichao, what are your dreams? Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
When his sister asked him about his ideals, Du Haichao scratched the back of his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I want to join the army like Brother He and protect my country in the future."
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Yes, your ideal is great. But even if you join the army, you still need to study hard. People with education can have better career prospects in the military."
The military of the future must also modernize, and soldiers will gradually improve their quality, especially their cultural literacy. Only educated soldiers can fight better, and only educated commanders can better lead their troops in battle.
If you want to join the army, remember to first master your academic knowledge, build a solid foundation, and hone your basic skills. This will allow you to apply to military academies in the future, further enhancing your military capabilities.
Du Haichao nodded and said, "Sister, I'll remember what you said. I'll study hard and try to get into a military academy in the future."
Although He Yuhan knew in her heart that her younger brother and the others might not have the opportunity to take the military academy entrance exam, she believed that as long as they had knowledge and education, they could join the army first and then be recommended by the military to attend a military academy.
Opportunity always favors the prepared mind, and she believed that her younger brother would become an excellent soldier if he joined the army.
Wen Jinyu was also familiar with the Du family. Back in Laohewan Village, the Du brothers, Haifeng and Haifeng, often helped Wen Jinyu and Liu Zhongyi chop firewood and dig wild vegetables. Wen Jinyu liked the three Du brothers, who were all very sensible.
Wen Jinyu specially prepared several delicious dishes to entertain the Du Haifeng brothers.
Looking at the two handsome and composed young men, Wen Jinyu instructed them, "From now on, treat this place as your own home. Come to my house on weekends or when you're on school holidays, and I'll cook you delicious food."
Du Haifeng and Du Haichao both thanked Aunt Han very politely.
