Although lunch was noodles with gravy, Wen Jinyu and the other women also prepared a few side dishes to go with their drinks.
He Yuhan took out two bottles of Moutai liquor and said, "Dad, how about you have a couple of drinks today? I'll cook a nice meal for everyone tonight so we can all have a good time."
When Han Xiao saw that his daughter-in-law had brought out such good wine, he said happily, "Great! Today, our family is reunited, let's all have a couple of drinks together."
He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng stood up and poured wine for everyone. This Moutai wine is a special supply wine, and it has been very difficult to obtain in the past two years. Today, they also got to enjoy it.
He Chenglin took a sip of wine and said, "Yuhan was really lucky this time. At sea, there was no one to help her. It was fortunate that she was rescued by a passing ship."
Liu Zhongyi said, "It is also admirable that Yuhan is brave and resourceful, fearless in the face of danger, and able to protect the child in times of crisis."
Wen Jinyu and Yu Huiru also learned about He Yuhan's carefully crafted explanation.
Han Xiao, Huo Xicheng, and several others who knew that He Yuhan possessed a treasure knew that He Yuhan's experiences were definitely not as simple as she claimed. That was the vicious Scorpion, a very cunning person. Moreover, it wasn't just Scorpion at the time, but a group of people. It was impossible for them to be buried at sea so easily.
However, Han Xiao knew that many things were not suitable for too many people to know, so he didn't ask any questions in front of so many people.
Yu Huiru said, "Yuhan was really scared this time. It was even more dangerous than last time. Luckily, God protected her and she came back safely."
Wen Jinyu nodded and said, "Yes, these days have felt like an eternity, and I have nightmares every night."
He Yuhan also noticed that her family members had all lost weight recently, especially her mother and mother-in-law, who both looked haggard and clearly had been worrying a lot. Her mother had even suffered a heart attack due to the stress and had to be hospitalized, which was truly frightening.
He Yuhan said, "I'm sorry to have worried everyone during this time. Mom, please stay at home for now and don't go back to the compound. I've noticed that you've all lost a lot of weight. I'll help you all recover during this time."
Han Xiao said, "Yu Han is right, in-laws, you should stay here for a while. Your mother's health hasn't been good lately, so let Yu Han help her take care of her. We're all getting old, we need to take care of our health. I still want to see my eldest grandson get married and have children in the future."
He Chenglin nodded and said, "Alright, we'll listen to our in-laws. We'll bother you for a while. I've noticed that your mother and uncle have been quite worried lately, and they've lost a lot of weight. Let Yuhan help them get better too."
He Yuhan said, "No one should refuse. Whether you're old or young, everyone needs to nourish their bodies. I'll be in charge of the meals during this period."
Upon hearing that there must have been some food during this time, He Zhendong said, "Yuhan, don't forget about me and your Brother Huo."
He Yuhan smiled and said, "Of course I won't forget. Come to my house whenever you have time. I always have delicious food, nourishing soups, and medicinal meals ready for you. You'll have something to eat whenever you come."
He Zhendong chuckled and said, "That's great. Xicheng and I will visit home more often during this time."
Han Yixian said, "Everyone has been suffering from health problems lately, so we should all take care of ourselves. Qi Shen, you should stay here with us and take care of your health too."
Gu Qishen smiled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
He Yuhan and her child returned safely, and the family was relieved. The meal was filled with laughter and joy.
After lunch, He Yuhan told everyone to take a nap and rest, while she and Han Yixian went out to buy things.
Buying things is just for show; what they're really doing is taking food out of their space—whether it's various kinds of meat, grains, nutritional supplements, or tonics, it's all food to nourish their bodies.
The two of them went to the department store and grocery store to buy some things as a formality, and on the way home, He Yuhan filled the car.
When the two returned home, their family members had all woken up from their afternoon nap. When they saw that He Yuhan and her partner had brought back their purchases, everyone helped carry the things.
Looking at the huge pile of things in the living room, He Zhenhua said, "Little sister, Yixian, you two are really amazing to have managed to get so many good things."
He Yuhan said, "If it weren't for the fact that meat can't be stored right now, I would have liked to buy more. It's better to eat meat fresh; we can buy more when we run out."
"Brother, let's move this to the kitchen. I'll take a look and we'll cook something nice for dinner. Everyone can have a good meal."
He Zhendong and the others also joined in to help, asking He Yuhan with smiles, "Little sister, is there any Moutai left to drink tonight?"
He Yuhan smiled and said, "I guarantee you'll be satisfied with your drink."
Everyone helped to put away the things that He Yuhan and the others brought back.
Wen Jinyu said, "Yuhan, tell us what dishes you're planning to cook tonight, and we'll get ready. You and Yixian just got back, so go and get some rest."
Yu Huiru also said, "That's right, we're here. You and Yixian go and rest for a bit. You can cook a few of your best dishes tonight."
He Yuhan and Han Yixian were pushed back into the house to rest by their elders.
Du Haifeng and Du Haichao have already started school, but they also know that their sister and brother-in-law are coming back today, so they went back to the Han family home after school in the evening.
Seeing that his sister was really alright, Du Haichao was so happy that he wiped away tears. He had been under the most pressure lately because his nephew had been lost in his care, and his sister had been kidnapped by bad guys because of this. He had been blaming himself constantly.
He Yuhan knew her younger brother must have had a tough time lately, so she patted him, who was now almost as tall as her, and comforted him, "Alright, your sister and Xu Rui are back safely now, so don't think about it anymore."
Du Haichao sniffed and said, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you and Xu Rui wouldn't have been kidnapped by bad guys."
He Yuhan said, "Nonsense, even without you, bad guys would find other ways to catch us."
Han Yixian chimed in, "Yes, your sister is right. Even without you, bad guys will still make a move."
He Yuhan noticed that her two younger brothers had lost a lot of weight recently, indicating that this incident had been a significant blow to them.
It took He Yuhan and Han Yixian a long time to comfort the two boys before they were able to let go of their burdens.
In the evening, Yuan Qihua and Liu Gang also arrived, making it a grand reunion.
He Yuhan took charge of cooking dinner, with Wen Jinyu and several other female comrades helping out, and they prepared a sumptuous meal.
There were many people in the evening, and everyone ate together, so we sat at two tables.
He Yuhan kept her promise and brought out several bottles of Moutai for her second brother and the others, which made the men extremely happy.
The safe return of He Yuhan and her son was something to celebrate, and the atmosphere was very cheerful. With the scorpion dead, the dark clouds that had hung over the He and Han families for days finally dissipated.
