After Han Yixian and the other two finished discussing how to renovate the house, they returned to the neighboring house. Yuan Qihua had dinner at his uncle's house.
The next day, Wen Jinyu called Cui Jiabai Xiuyan and said, "Xiuyan, I'd like to discuss Qihua and Yuting's marriage with you. Let's talk it over first, and then we can all decide together. When is a convenient time for you?"
Bai Xiuyan said, "I haven't had much to do lately, Sister Wen, I'll come to your house this weekend."
Upon hearing this, Wen Jinyu said, "Alright, it's settled then. Come over this weekend morning. Let's discuss it properly."
Because it was to discuss her daughter's marriage, Baek Soo-yeon did not bring Choi Woo-ting with her to the Han family home over the weekend.
Wen Jinyu happily pulled Bai Xiuyan into the living room.
Bai Xiuyan saw He Yuhan pouring tea and said, "Is Yuhan alright now? She looks much better than she did a few days ago."
He Yuhan said, "I'm fine now, it's just that my mom and the others are too concerned."
Bai Xiuyan said, "Mothers always love their children dearly. It was really scary a while ago. Your mother and mother-in-law cried countless times. You need to take good care of your injury."
Wen Jinyu said, "Yuhan is a doctor herself, and I'm watching over her too."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "My mom has been giving me supplements these past few days. Haven't you noticed I've gained a little weight?"
Wen Jinyu said, "What do you mean by gaining weight? You were too thin before, but your figure is just right now."
Han Yixian, who was carrying the child, came out of the room and said, "Mom is right, Yuhan is just right now. She was too thin before. Aunt Bai, why don't you have lunch at home today? We can make dumplings at noon."
Wen Jinyu said, "Yes, Yi bought some meat first, so we'll make dumplings for lunch."
Han Xiao and Liu Zhongyi, who were playing chess in the study, also came out to greet Bai Xiuyan and invited her to stay for dumplings.
Bai Xiuyan smiled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Sister Wen, you said you wanted to discuss Qihua and Yuting's marriage, so my husband has let me make all the decisions."
Wen Jinyu said, "I just wanted to tell you about their wedding house first. I heard from their in-laws that they were looking for a house for Qihua, right? Go back and tell them they don't need to bother, we bought a house for Qihua right next to ours, and it's being renovated right now."
"When they get married and become our neighbors, we can look after each other."
Bai Xiuyan was overjoyed to hear this, "It would be wonderful to be your neighbor. The yard next door looks quite big; it would be more than enough for them to live in."
Wen Jinyu said, "There are three main rooms, two side rooms, and a kitchen in that courtyard. Qihua said that he would build a boiler room and a toilet behind the main rooms, just like our house, and install a traditional earthen heating system. In winter, we won't need to light a stove in the house. It will be warm, clean, and safe."
The house will be completely repainted, the floors will be cemented, and the windows will be repainted. All the furniture will be replaced, and the curtains and other decorations will also be new.
Bai Xiuyan said happily, "The apartment layout is similar to yours, that's great! I really like your apartment layout, and Yuting likes it too. She'll be overjoyed if she knew she'd live in a house like this in the future. You've really thought of everything."
Wen Jinyu said with a smile, "My husband's older sister isn't with Qihua either, so we'll have to take care of things for him. As for the bride price, we'll stick to what you and my husband's older sister discussed before. Our gift will be separate. Feel free to make any requests you have, and we'll do our best to fulfill them."
Bai Xiuyan knew the Han family was generous and would never mistreat her daughter. Even if the Han family didn't consider her daughter, they would have to consider Yuan Qihua, so the new house would definitely be very well decorated, far more thoughtfully than her own family had imagined.
She said, "You've thought of everything very carefully. I heard from Yuting that she and Qihua are planning to get married this fall. The two young people have already made plans, so I think we should just go with the time they've agreed on."
Wen Jinyu nodded and said, "Qihua also told us that he has been very busy with work recently and has not had time to prepare for the wedding, so he has decided to hold the wedding in the fall."
There's plenty of time. We can prepare slowly. Once the house is all set up, you can all come and take a look. We can discuss any additional items you need then.
The two sisters talked about the things they needed to prepare in increasingly detailed ways, and the conversation went on and on.
Han Yi first handed the child to his father to hold, and then he and He Yuhan went to the back to prepare lunch.
Chopping meat is definitely his job.
He Yuhan also planned to make vegetarian dumplings with chive and egg filling, so she went to the backyard to cut chives. For meat dumplings, she planned to make pork and celery filling.
The celery in the backyard is growing very well; it's time to eat it now.
He Yuhan was picking chives in the kitchen, while Han Yi was chopping minced meat. The two chatted as they worked. As long as they were together, everything they did was joyful.
Han Yixian worked quickly and soon chopped the minced meat. Then he and his wife picked chives together.
It's hard for outsiders to imagine Han Yixian cooking at home with his wife.
While picking chives, He Yuhan said, "Brother Yi, Tingshan wrote to say that he skipped a grade and is preparing to take the high school entrance exam this year. It must be very tough for him. I've prepared some nourishing things for him. Could you mail them to him on your way to work tomorrow?"
I've also prepared some food for Haifeng and Haichao; please take it to their school later. The two kids said they're busy with schoolwork lately and won't be coming home on weekends; they'll be studying at school.
They maintained correspondence with Tingshan; I suspect they were spurred on by Tingshan to work harder.
Han Yixian nodded and smiled, "Tingshan is quite smart. He seems to have no trouble learning. Although he started school late, he has now caught up completely and is even showing signs of surpassing others."
Moreover, that kid is very cunning; hopefully, he can use that cunning for the good in the future.
He Yuhan rolled her eyes at Han Yixian and said, "Look at what you're saying, as if Tingshan will go astray. I think Tingshan's outlook on life and values are pretty good. He's so smart and hardworking, he'll definitely achieve something in the future."
He's doing well with his parents, and with his future in-laws' support, things are definitely looking up for him.
Han Yi thought to himself: He's just pretending in front of you. But he didn't dare say it directly, afraid of upsetting his wife.
Han Yixian said, "I'm not saying he'll go astray. I'm saying that he's so young yet can see through people's hearts and manipulate them. It's not necessarily a good thing that he's so cunning at such a young age. At least he'll miss out on a lot of happiness. I'm afraid he might easily go to extremes."
You might not know this, but his former adoptive parents' family is now in dire straits; they're practically ruined, if not completely destroyed. It's highly likely that Yue Tingshan was involved in this.
He Yuhan looked up at Han Yixian and said uncertainly, "Impossible, he's already left City C and is so far away, how could he possibly have the ability to take revenge on his adoptive parents' family?"
