He Yuhan went out this morning and brought back a lot of things, mostly food. The weather is getting cold, and He Yuhan wanted to prepare more nutritious food for her family.
He Yuhan cooked dinner, making braised pork, sauerkraut fish, sweet and sour spicy cabbage, stir-fried eggs with garlic sprouts, and a fish head tofu soup. Rice was the staple food, which went perfectly with these dishes.
Upon seeing the sumptuous meal at the table, Han Xiao smiled and said, "With such good food today, my brother and I must have a couple of drinks."
Upon hearing this, Han Yixian took out a bottle of fine wine from the cupboard. He also wanted to have a drink, so he took three wine cups, poured some for his father and uncle first, and then poured some for himself last.
Han Xiao took a bite of the braised pork and said, "Yu Han's braised pork is the most authentic. I think Yu Han's is the best."
Liu Zhongyi took a sip of wine and laughed, "We're really enjoying this too. Such delicious food is a rare treat these days. To be honest, I've eaten a lot of delicacies before, but none of them taste as good as the simple meals that Yuhan makes."
Wen Jinyu said, "We've been through tough times, so we know how hard-won our current life is. Compared to a few years ago, our current life is like paradise. I hope we can continue to live like this."
Han Yixian said, "Mom, we will live like this from now on. You will no longer suffer like before."
He Yuhan put a piece of braised pork on her mother-in-law's plate and said, "That's right, Mom, our family will always be safe and sound from now on, and that kind of life will never change."
Little Xu Rui, who had already eaten half a bowl of steamed egg custard, sat in his stroller and wanted to stand up when he smelled the aroma of the food. His eyes were fixed on the food on the table, as if he wanted to join everyone in eating.
When Wen Jinyu saw her eager grandson, she picked him up and sat him on her lap, then picked up a small piece of fish, removed the bones, and fed it to her grandson.
The little guy has grown a few teeth and is now very interested in flavorful food.
He Yuhan's pickled fish wasn't very spicy; the tender white fish meat barely absorbed the broth and had almost no spiciness. The little guy ate it very happily, and after finishing, he grinned, revealing a few small white teeth. He held onto the table with one hand and pointed at the dishes on the table with the other, meaning he wanted his grandma to feed him.
Everyone laughed when they saw the little guy like that. With such a joyful child, the family is always full of laughter.
Han Xiao laughed and said, "My grandson knows what he wants to eat now; he can taste the flavor."
Seeing the little guy drooling with desire, He Yuhan picked up a small piece of tender fatty meat and fed it to her son.
The braised pork seemed to be more to the little one's liking. After taking a bite of the braised pork that his mother fed him, he decisively stretched out his hands to his mother, wanting to throw himself into her arms.
Everyone burst into laughter again upon seeing this.
Liu Zhongyi laughed and said, "It seems that Xiao Xurui prefers braised pork."
He Yuhan smiled and picked up her son, letting him sit on her lap. The little guy then pointed at the dishes on the table.
He Yuhan put the braised pork into a clean bowl, mashed it with chopsticks, and then fed it to her son.
The child can eat some minced meat without any problem now. We don't give him too much, just so he can taste it.
With the little one joining in, everyone ate and laughed throughout the meal.
The three men drank more than half a bottle of fine wine; although it wasn't much, it was enough to satisfy their craving for alcohol.
After washing up in the evening, Han Yixian and He Yuhan went back to their room early. The child also fell asleep quickly after drinking his milk.
Han Yixian had drunk a little wine and was quite excited. He and He Yuhan were lying in the same bed chatting, feeling extremely comfortable.
Han Yixian said, "I've already spoken with Qi Shen and asked him to send people to make preparations in advance. This time, we'll still use those same things to exchange."
He Yuhan said, "We have no use for money; it will just sit in our space. We might as well get something meaningful. Besides, our finances are tight right now, so this will bring in some revenue for the government."
Han Yixian remembered the box Gu Qishen had given him and said, "Let's go inside, it's too cold outside. I have something else to show you."
Han Yixian got up and took the box from the table. He Yuhan held the child, and the family of three went into the space.
The space was warm and cozy, and He Yuhan put the child in the crib in the bedroom to let him continue to sleep.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the wooden box in Han Yixian's hand. She took the box and looked at it, discovering that it was a sandalwood box with exquisite carvings.
He Yuhan said, "This box alone is very precious."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "Open it and take a look. Qi Shen said that he made you suffer last time, so this is his compensation to you."
He Yuhan opened the box and covered her mouth in surprise when she saw the diamond necklace inside. She then said, "This is too valuable. Even now, this should be worth a lot of money."
Han Yixian said, "This thing is quite valuable abroad, but it has no market in our country and no one dares to wear it. It's not as useful as food."
He Yuhan sighed and said, "Yes, such a good thing is just gathering dust now."
Han Yixian said, "There's another layer below."
He Yuhan was overjoyed to see that below was a pair of emerald jade bracelets and several pieces of mutton fat jade pendants. "These items are very precious. Brother Gu must have put a lot of effort into them. Tell him he doesn't need to go to so much trouble. I didn't lose out. In fact, I made a huge profit."
Han Yixian said, "We can't tell him about the space, or he'll think you're losing out. Just accept what he gave you."
He Yuhan nodded, "These are all treasures. I have to keep them carefully and use them as family heirlooms in the future."
