Zhou Zhengye was a guest, but more importantly, a brother, so Han Yixian naturally had to treat him well.
After brewing tea for everyone, He Yuhan went to the kitchen to get busy. With Yan Qingya helping out, and since it was still early, the two sisters-in-law weren't in a hurry and chatted while preparing the meal.
He Zhenhua introduced Zhou Zhengye when he arrived. This was Yan Qingya's first time meeting Zhou Zhengye, so she was quite curious.
He Yuhan then gave a brief introduction to Zhou Zhengye's situation. Yan Qingya listened and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The people the Han family associated with were no ordinary people. The Zhou family was also very famous in Kyoto; even she had heard of them.
The two women, sister-in-law and aunt, sat on small stools in the kitchen, picking vegetables together. Yan Qingya asked in a low voice, "So, does that mean Comrade Zhou will be working in Qianyuan County from now on? I feel like there are a lot of important people gathered in Qianyuan County."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "What big shot is there?"
Yan Qingya said, "Look, Uncle Han is a big shot, right? Our parents who went to City C are also big shots, right? My brother-in-law, Brother Gu, and this newcomer Comrade Zhou should also be considered big shots. Normally, people with their abilities would never stay in such a small county town. But now several of them are gathered here."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think my older brother is a big shot? My older brother is very capable, no less than Brother Gu or Zhou Zhengye."
Yan Qingya said somewhat shyly, "Your older brother is a very capable person. Someone like him shouldn't be in this remote and backward Qianyuan County. Didn't your family used to live in Kyoto? Why are you here?"
He Yuhan said, "The situation in Kyoto is very tense right now. Staying in Kyoto is not beneficial and we are likely to be affected. We chose to come to this remote Qianyuan County to preserve our strength and avoid those conflicts."
We're not the only ones thinking this way; many people feel the same way. Although conditions here are poor and difficult, as long as the family can be together peacefully, that's more important than anything else.
Yan Qingya understood completely after hearing He Yuhan's words. She nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. As long as the family is together and safe and sound, that's better than anything else. Wealth and luxury aren't something you can enjoy so easily. Besides, I think Qianyuan County is quite nice. At least it's peaceful and there aren't so many conflicts."
Didn't I come here in the first place to escape all that strife and live a peaceful life? Besides, I met you, a good friend, here.
He Yuhan said, "The most important thing is that you met my older brother here and got married."
Yan Qingya said, "Yes, Qianyuan County is my lucky place. I not only made a good friend here, but also found my happiness. I thought I would grow old alone in this life, but I didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise here."
He Yuhan said with a smile, "That's why you should never give up easily, no matter how difficult things get. Life is full of surprises, and no one knows what good things will happen tomorrow. We should greet each day with anticipation."
How are things going with Haobo these days?
Yan Qingya said, "Haobo has been raised so well by you. He is very sensible, and we get along very well. Ever since I found out I couldn't have children, I've really loved children. Haobo is smart, sensible, and has a delicate and cute appearance like his father. He fulfills all my beautiful fantasies about children. In my opinion, the perfect child should be like Haobo."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "You two really do look like mother and son. Do you know what Haobo says about you in private? He said your new mom is very beautiful and gentle, and he likes her very much."
Yan Qingya was surprised that Haobo would say such a thing about her. She said happily, "Really? Haobo really said that about me? Does that mean he likes me too?"
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Yes, you can rest assured about that. Haobo really likes you very much. I think even if you are not biological mother and son, you will be like family in the future. You have given him your feelings, and children are the most sensitive, so of course you will get something in return. Moreover, everyone in our family likes you very much. My parents like you to bits. You are the eldest daughter-in-law of our He family."
Yan Qingya felt more at ease after hearing He Yuhan's words. She also wanted to integrate into the He family as soon as possible, and it was her wish to be liked by her in-laws.
After this period of time, she found that her in-laws were all very easy to get along with, even her stepson, whom she was most worried about, was very pleasant to be around. Although she wouldn't have any biological children of her own in the future, she would treat Haobo as her own son. She believed that their family would live a very happy life.
At noon, He Yuhan personally cooked a table full of delicious food as a way of welcoming Zhou Zhengye to Qianyuan County.
When He Yuhan and Yan Qingya were cooking together, Han Yixian and He Zhenhua would occasionally lend a hand.
Gu Qishen pointed at Han Yixian, who was carrying dishes into the house, and smiled at Zhou Zhengye, "You see? Yixian really dotes on his wife, and Zhenhua is the same way. These two are always showing affection to their wives, just to bully us single people."
Han Yi first put the dishes on the table and said, "Then you should hurry up and find one too. As soon as you announce that you're looking for a wife, I reckon your doorstep will be worn down by the crowds."
Everyone in the room burst into laughter as soon as Han Yixian said that.
Liu Zhongyi laughed and said, "A young man as talented, handsome, and from a good family as Qi Shen has plenty of girls vying to marry him. If Qi Shen weren't so uninterested in such a man, he wouldn't have trouble finding a wife."
Han Xiao and Wen Jinyu laughed even harder after hearing their older brother's words.
