While Han Yixian and Liu Weiguo were talking, He Yuhan took out the malted milk powder and milk powder they had brought and said, "Uncle Liu needs nutrition, so we brought some nutritional supplements. Sister-in-law, please make Uncle Liu a bowl of milk powder first."
Liu Weiguo's father, Liu Hongxiang, sat on the bed and said, "Save such good things for the children. I'm fine."
Liu Hongxiang also felt sorry for his grandchildren, who were so hungry that they were almost skin and bones, with big heads on their small bodies.
He Yuhan said, "Uncle Liu, you need nutrition now. If you are healthy, your family will worry less."
Liu Weiguo said from the side, "Dad, you're sick now, you need to eat more nutritious food."
Everyone persuaded him before Liu Hongxiang finally drank the milk his daughter-in-law had prepared.
The three children's mouths watered at the smell of milk, but none of them went up to cry and ask for some, not even the youngest child who was only three or four years old.
He Yuhan nodded secretly, impressed by the Liu family's good upbringing. She took out a paper package containing several kilograms of homemade sponge cakes, modeled after those sold outside.
She took out three pieces of sponge cake and handed them to the three children, saying, "Here, children, Auntie brought some cakes. One for each of you."
The three children swallowed hard as they looked at the cake in He Yuhan's hand, but none of them took it directly. Instead, they looked at their fathers and mothers.
Looking at the children, Liu Weiguo felt both gratified and saddened. He said, "Take what Auntie gave you, thank you Auntie."
The three children said in unison, "Thank you, Auntie," and then accepted the cake.
Han Yixian looked at them and said, "Wei Guo, the children are well-educated."
Liu Weiguo scratched the back of his head sheepishly and chuckled, "It's all thanks to my parents and your sister-in-law for taking good care of me."
He Yuhan took out all the gifts she brought, including milk powder, malted milk powder, pastries, fabrics, and grains, which left the Liu family speechless.
Liu Weiguo was touched by the generosity of Han Yixian and his wife, but there were far too many things for him to accept. He said, "Why did you bring so many things? This is too much. We can't accept it."
Han Yixian said, "Uncle Liu needs nutrition now, this isn't the time for you to be polite with me. Besides, the fact that we were able to bring these things proves we can afford them, so we didn't plan to take them back. Just accept them. Once you have a job, things will gradually get better at home."
He Yuhan also said, "Yes, Brother Liu, I see that the children are all malnourished. Please don't be polite with us. Leave these things for the elderly and children to nourish their bodies."
Liu Weiguo knew this wasn't the time for politeness, and with tears welling in his eyes, he said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony, thank you, sister-in-law."
Liu Weiguo quickly asked his wife to prepare dinner so he could entertain his good brother.
The dinner prepared by the Liu family naturally included seafood and aquatic products, most of which were dried and stored. To entertain their guests, the Liu family brought out their most prized possessions.
Han Yixian and his wife stayed at Liu's house for one night and were leaving early the next morning.
Han Yi patted Liu Weiguo on the shoulder and said, "I need to find someone to investigate your job. Although I don't have connections in your county, I do have some connections in the city. Wait for my news."
Liu Weiguo said, "Yixian, if it's too much trouble, then forget it. Don't offend anyone because of me."
Han Yixian said, "I know what I'm doing. You can give Uncle Liu the nutritional supplements I brought. I'll have Yuhan get some medicine later. It's most important to get Uncle Liu's health back in order."
Don't bother with the polite talk anymore. I just happened to be there, so I couldn't just ignore it. Alright, you can go back now.
With Liu Weiguo watching them leave, Han Yixian rode away on his bicycle with He Yuhan in tow.
They didn't take a car in town, but instead rode bicycles to the county seat. Both agreed that cycling was more comfortable than driving; at least it wasn't like sitting in a stuffy car. Besides, the county seat wasn't too far away.
Upon arriving in the county town, the couple didn't rush to the city. Instead, they checked into a guesthouse to rest, as they needed to check on their son regularly in their virtual space. The little guy was already very well-behaved; they couldn't let him go hungry.
After feeding his son in the space, Han Yixian said, "Yuhan, I'll go to the city by myself tomorrow. You wait for me here."
He Yuhan asked, "What, I'm not going with you?"
Han Yixian said, "I'll have to come back after I've investigated things, so you don't need to come with me. It's so hot, so you can wait for me at the guesthouse and spend some time with our son. Otherwise, we can't guarantee that we'll feed him on time."
He Yuhan thought about it and agreed. There was no danger at the moment, so it was fine to let her husband handle things on his own.
After resting at the guesthouse for the night, Han Yixian and He Yuhan had breakfast together at the state-run restaurant. Han Yixian then took a car to the city. He Yuhan went back to the guesthouse to rest by herself.
She closed the door to the room and went into the space. The temperature inside was just right, and she could keep an eye on the child.
He Yuhan thought Han Yixian would at least be back by tomorrow, but to her surprise, he was brought back by car in the evening, along with Han Yixian's friends.
When He Yuhan heard Han Yixian knocking on the door, she was surprised to hear his voice and opened the door, asking, "Brother Yi, why are you back so soon?"
Han Yixian said helplessly, "My comrade knew you were here and insisted on coming along to see what was going on."
As soon as Han Yixian finished speaking, someone leaned out from behind him and greeted He Yuhan, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Han Yi first opened the door and introduced, "This is my comrade-in-arms, Meng Fanyi."
Upon hearing this, He Yuhan greeted him, "Hello, Brother Meng, please come in quickly."
The three entered the room. Meng Fanyi laughed and said, "No wonder Yixian, this iron tree, could bloom. It turns out he met a girl like your sister-in-law."
Meng Fanyi was stunned by He Yuhan's beauty. He thought to himself that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Han Yixian used to be indifferent to women, and everyone thought he would remain a bachelor forever. Unexpectedly, he met such a stunning woman and was won over.
He could tell from He Yuhan's demeanor that this sister-in-law was no ordinary person; otherwise, Han Yixian, with his discerning eye, would never have taken a liking to her.
Han Yixian rolled his eyes at Meng Fanyi and said to He Yuhan, "Yuhan, get ready. We're going to treat Lao Meng to dinner at the state-run restaurant tonight. Let's go downstairs and book a room for Lao Meng first. Here, take the good wine I prepared."
After saying that, Han Yixian gave He Yuhan a wink, and He Yuhan immediately understood that Han Yixian wanted her to take two bottles of wine from his spatial storage.
Han Yixian and his comrades will definitely be drinking tonight, and if they drink, he can't drive back; he'll have to stay overnight.
Han Yixian and Meng Fanyi went downstairs to book rooms, and He Yuhan took out two bottles of Moutai from her spatial storage. This was a fine wine, and He Yuhan had bought quite a lot in G City this time. Today, she would use it to entertain Han Yixian's good brother.
