Du Haifeng and his brother saw their sister and brother-in-law off at the school gate before returning to their classroom.
As soon as the two entered the classroom, they were surrounded by a group of classmates who all asked them about He Yuhan and Han Yixian's situation.
The Du brothers only referred to her as their sister and brother-in-law. They were vague about everything else.
What Du Haifeng and his brother didn't see was that a classmate in the corner of the classroom gave them a cold look, which then disappeared.
He thought to himself that the Du brothers must hold a very important place in He Yuhan's heart, and he needed to get closer to them as soon as possible. With that thought, he stood up and joined the group.
Du Haifeng said he wanted to learn something before everyone dispersed.
Just as Du Haifeng was studying with his head down, someone above him said, "Du Haifeng, I have a math problem I can't solve. Can you explain it to me?"
Upon hearing this, Du Haifeng looked up and saw Liu Shijie, a new transfer student in their class.
Liu Shijie's family is from the city, but he has no arrogance whatsoever. He studies very hard and never looks down on classmates from the countryside. He gets along very well with his classmates from rural areas.
Final exams are coming up soon, so many students from the city are coming to school to study, including Liu Shijie. Du Haifeng has a good impression of Liu Shijie.
Du Haifeng said, "Which question is it? Let me see."
Liu Shijie then pointed out the questions he couldn't answer to Du Haifeng.
Du Haifeng saw that the problem wasn't too difficult and explained it to Liu Shijie.
Liu Shijie said happily, "Thank you, Haifeng. You truly deserve to be the best in our class."
Du Haifeng waved his hand and said, "No, there are plenty of students in our class who are better at studying than me."
Liu Shijie didn't linger any longer; after asking his question, he returned to his seat to continue studying.
When Liu Shijie returned home in the evening, his brother, who had just come home from get off work, asked, "How was it? Did you have any success today?"
Liu Shijie said, "Brother, Du Haifeng's sister and brother-in-law went to see them today, bringing a stack of lunchboxes. I think they went to bring them food. It seems that the Du Haifeng brothers are quite important to He Yuhan."
Furthermore, I discovered that Du Haifeng and his brother used to leave school on weekends to go to his brother-in-law's house.
Liu Shijie's older brother, Liu Shihui, nodded and said, "Your discovery is very important. In the future, you should gradually build a good relationship with the Du Haifeng brothers, the closer the better. It would be best if you could become good friends with them and gain their trust, so that things will be easier for you in the future."
Liu Shijie said, "Brother, don't worry, I'm slowly getting closer to them now. I think it won't be difficult to become good friends with them."
A few days later, Du Haifeng and his classmates finished their final exams. While waiting for their results, the two brothers returned to the Han family home.
Seeing that the two boys had lost a lot of weight, Wen Jinyu asked her daughter-in-law to cook more delicious food to help the two children recover.
He Yuhan asked, "How did you feel about the exam?"
Du Haifeng said, "It should be fine."
Du Haichao said, "Sister, our school awards prizes to the top three students in the grade, they say it's a scholarship. My older brother is aiming for first place. If he can get some scholarships, it will help ease the burden on our family."
He Yuhan smiled and asked, "And you, how did your exam go?"
Du Haichao scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "While I might not be able to make it into the top three, I should have no problem getting into the top ten."
Wen Jinyu said, "The children must be very tired after finishing their exams. Yuhan, let them rest. The watermelon we picked in the garden this morning is soaking in cold water. Quickly cut it up for the two of them to eat."
After He Yuhan agreed, she took out the watermelon and cut it. "Haifeng, Haichao, come and eat watermelon. The watermelons grown in the backyard are so sweet. Mom, Uncle, you should come and eat too."
Everyone sat together eating watermelon.
Wen Jinyu, holding Xiao Xurui, said, "You guys eat first. Xiao Rui will definitely want the food when he sees it. It's better for him not to eat watermelon right now, or he might get diarrhea."
After cutting the watermelon, He Yuhan said, "Mom, let me carry him. This little guy is quite heavy now."
Du Haifeng quickly ate two slices of watermelon, washed his hands, and said, "Sister, let me hug my little nephew. I haven't seen him for days and I miss him."
He Yuhan said, "There are so many watermelons, why don't you eat more?"
Du Haifeng patted his stomach and said, "I'm already full. It'll be time to eat again soon." He then took his nephew from his sister's arms.
Wen Jinyu only ate one piece of watermelon. Watermelon is cold in nature, so she didn't dare to eat more.
She wiped her hands and looked at Du Haifeng, who had grown taller than He Yuhan, and said, "Haifeng and Haichao have grown quite a bit this year, they've already surpassed your sister. And you two have inherited the best features of your parents, you'll both be handsome young men in the future."
Liu Zhongyi laughed and said, "He's handsome, so he won't have to worry about finding a wife in the future. If he can get into a good university or find a good job, then suitors will definitely be lining up at our door."
Du Haichao asked without any embarrassment, "Grandpa Liu, shouldn't this be used to describe girls?"
Liu Zhongyi laughed and said, "What girls? Boys are the same. Handsome men attract girls just as much. Just like your brother-in-law."
Du Haichao chuckled and said, "My brother-in-law is indeed handsome, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to win over my sister."
He Yuhan rolled her eyes at her younger brother and said, "Do you think I only like your brother-in-law because of his looks?"
Du Haichao said, "Of course not. My brother-in-law is not only handsome, but also very outstanding. Most importantly, he treats you well. Am I right, sister?"
Just then, someone said, "Hey, when did Hai Chao become so sweet-talking?"
The one who entered was Han Yixian.
He Yuhan took her husband's briefcase and asked, "Why are you back so early today?"
Han Yixian said, "I went out to take care of some things today, and I didn't go back to the office after I finished."
He turned to his two brothers-in-law and asked, "How did the exam go?"
Du Haichao said, "Brother-in-law, no problem at all, I guarantee he'll be in the top ten of the grade. Come on, brother-in-law, this watermelon is so sweet, it's been soaked in well water, it's cool and refreshing, have some."
Han Yixian sat down, picked up a slice of watermelon, and said, "It's different to go to school now; you're getting better and better at talking."
Du Haichao chuckled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, brother-in-law. Sister, did you receive Tingshan's letter? He said he'll come to C City to see us after his exams."
He Yuhan said, "I told you not to run anymore. The journey is so far, and the weather is hot. When did he send you a letter?"
Du Haifeng said, "We just received it a couple of days ago. And his letter said that his parents also came to see their nephew."
Han Yixian frowned and said, "His letter said his parents are coming too?"
Du Haifeng nodded and said, "Yes, they said they would come together, then his parents would go back first, and he would stay here for a while."
Han Yi didn't say anything more, but he thought to himself that Yue Tingshan was really persistent, even bringing up his parents to come to City C. However, he couldn't stop him now, otherwise it would seem too domineering and impolite.
Despite his efforts to stop him, Yue Tingshan still managed to get away with it. It seems he'll have to be more careful around him in the future.
