When He Yuhan saw the men drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor), she asked Han Yi to go to the storage room and bring out the wine she had brewed some time ago.
This year, the family's grapes yielded a good harvest, so He Yuhan used them to make some wine. It's a very low-alcohol fruit wine, but it still has a strong aftereffect.
Wen Jinyu looked at the jar her son had brought out and said, "I tasted this wine last time and it was really good. I wonder how it is now?"
She had helped her daughter-in-law make this wine a while ago, and after it was made, she tasted it and found it delicious. After that, she just left it to ferment and completely forgot about it.
Han Yixian said, "This wine should become more and more mellow over time. Everyone should try it today."
As he spoke, Han Yixian opened the wine jar, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out.
He Yuhan added some well water from the space to brew this wine, so the resulting wine was naturally extraordinary.
Han Xiao's eyes lit up when he smelled the aroma of the wine, and he said, "This wine smells so good, come on, pour me a glass and let me try it."
Han Yixian shook his head and smiled as he poured his father a cup of wine, seeing his father's high spirits.
The red wine looked beautiful in the glass, and Han Xiao nodded in approval.
Han Yixian poured a glass for everyone else, even the Du brothers poured a little for them, but not for He Yuhan, since she was pregnant.
Han Yi first placed a bowl of soup in front of his wife, and used the soup as a substitute for wine.
Han Xiao smelled the aroma of the wine, swirled the glass, took a sip, and nodded, saying, "Good wine. It feels even better than the most authentic wine I've ever had. Yuhan, you're really amazing. Make more of this wine in the future."
With the Han family's background, Han Xiao had tasted many fine wines, including top-tier international wines. However, he felt that none of them were as good as his daughter-in-law's homemade wine. Could it be that he had been drinking inferior wines before? Impossible.
That only proves that your daughter-in-law is very capable and has exceptional skills.
Wen Jinyu looked at everyone who had poured their drinks and said with a smile, "Today's potato feast was prepared under the guidance of Yuhan. This is the first time I've ever known that potatoes can be prepared in so many ways; it's truly an eye-opener."
This wine was also made by Yuhan herself, and we all got to enjoy it.
Cui Yuting said with sparkling eyes, "I learned a lot today. Although potatoes are an ordinary ingredient, after Sister Yuhan's guidance in cooking them, every potato dish was delicious. It's no exaggeration to call this meal a potato feast."
He Yuhan said, "I only gave some guidance on today's dishes; it was Brother Yi and Mom who actually did the cooking. Everyone, please try Brother Yi and Mom's cooking."
Han Xiao started eating first, and then everyone else began to eat.
Yuan Qihua took a bite of a crispy potato ball, his eyes lit up, and he gave his older cousin a thumbs up, saying, "Cousin, amazing! Your wife only gave you some guidance, and you made it so delicious. You're really amazing. You two work together so well."
Han Xiao said, "This cumin-baked baby potatoes is also delicious and very unique. It's great. I can make this dish often in the future."
Du Haifeng said, "These potato pancakes are delicious, but these dishes must use a lot of oil."
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Indeed, some of them need to be deep-fried, which is really unaffordable for ordinary people. We only splurge on them occasionally."
Wen Jinyu said, "Apart from the fried ones, the others are also very delicious. We can make them often in the future. Potatoes and cabbage are the most common vegetables in winter. Having more variety will prevent us from getting tired of eating them."
Everyone enjoyed the potato feast to the fullest.
Han Yixian knew his wife must be tired, so after dinner he helped He Yuhan back to her room to rest.
As we enter early winter, it's time to harvest the Chinese cabbage.
With everyone's help, Han Yixian managed to harvest the cabbages into the cellar over the weekend. However, he didn't put them all in the cellar; some were left outside because He Yuhan wanted to pickle sauerkraut and kimchi.
Han Yixian certainly wouldn't let his wife do it herself, so he had He Yuhan guide him from the side.
He Yuhan prepared salt, chili powder, and other ingredients in advance, and guided everyone to pickle a large vat of sauerkraut and a small vat of kimchi. This way, there will be more variety in the winter dishes.
Pickling sauerkraut is very common in Northeast China; almost every household pickles sauerkraut.
By then, all the autumn vegetables in the backyard had been harvested, and only the vegetables in the plastic greenhouse were growing well, a sea of green.
Most of the vegetables grown in the plastic greenhouses are leafy and stem-growing vegetables; very few vegetables that need to flower and bear fruit are grown, and they are only grown for experimental purposes.
After all, there are no heating facilities in the plastic greenhouses, which is also to prevent the vegetables from growing if the weather gets too cold later.
As the weather gradually turned colder, Han Yixian had already prepared the coal. There was a pregnant woman in the house, and his mother's health was not very good. As soon as the weather got a little cold, he turned on the heating, and the house immediately became warm.
This is the first time Wen Jinyu has experienced such a warm winter since the family suffered such a great change. In the past, in Liujiatun, not only were the houses drafty, but there was also no coal for heating. The only way to keep warm was to heat the kang (a heated brick bed) and sit on it. At most, a charcoal brazier would be lit in the room.
Now that there's a central heating system, the house is warm, and she feels that this winter is so comfortable.
Han Yixian also prepared enough coal and firewood for his uncle in Laohewan Village so that his uncle wouldn't have to worry about heating in the winter.
He Yuhan's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Because of the cold weather, she can only walk around the house every day, which she considers a walk. When the weather is nice, she will sunbathe in the yard.
The weather was beautiful that day, sunny and bright. Wen Jinyu was taking a walk in the yard with He Yuhan when Han Yixian hurriedly returned.
He Yuhan knew something serious had happened as soon as she saw the anxious and solemn look on Han Yixian's face, and quickly asked, "Brother Yi, what happened?"
Han Yixian quickly walked up to He Yuhan, grasped her shoulders, looked at her intently, and said, "I told you to calm down. You're pregnant, you can't get too excited."
Upon hearing this, He Yuhan's heart sank, and she grabbed Han Yixian's arm, saying, "What exactly happened? Don't worry, I won't abandon the baby in my belly."
Han Yixian took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone, "Your second brother was seriously injured while on a mission and has now been sent to the city hospital. Because the wound is in the heart area, and the bullet was too close to the heart, the doctors at the hospital dare not perform surgery. They can't do it either, and even the hospital director can't do anything about it."
They said if anything went wrong, your second brother wouldn't even make it off the operating table.
He Yuhan was struck by the news as if by a bolt from the blue, and her body went limp. Fortunately, Han Yixian caught her in time.
He Yuhan immediately realized what was happening and tears streamed down her face. She threw herself into Han Yixian's arms and said, "Brother Yi, take me to the hospital. I'll do Second Brother's surgery."
