When Han Yixian returned to Beili Village, it was already dark. When he arrived at his door, he saw He Yuhan looking out.
When He Yuhan saw Han Yixian finally return, she quickly went up to him and said, "Why are you back so late? It's already dark."
Han Yixian said, "Zhengye, Qi Shen, my brother, and I had a get-together and drank a bit too much. We rested for a while before coming back. Were you worried?"
He Yuhan said, "Of course I'm worried. The mountain roads are already difficult to travel, and it's even more dangerous at night. Don't come back so late in the future. If it's really late, stay in the city for the night and come back the next day."
Han Yixian smiled and pinched He Yuhan's cheek, saying, "Okay, I will follow my wife's instructions."
He Yuhan patted Han Yixian and scolded him, "You're being silly again. Hurry up and go inside. Your parents are worried about you."
Han Yixian pushed his bicycle into the yard, and He Yuhan closed the gate and helped Han Yixian unload the things from the bicycle.
"Why did you buy so much stuff?" He Yuhan asked, carrying a bag.
Han Yi first put a bag of grain on the ground and said, "Zheng Ye told me to collect your salary and ration coupons. I used some of them to buy things. There are also some things that Zheng Ye bought for me, as well as some from Qi Shen and my older brother. That's all I have. I don't dare to ride too fast because there's so much stuff, otherwise I would have been home much sooner."
At this moment, Wen Jinyu and Liu Zhongyi also came out and helped carry the things into the house.
Because his mother asked, Han Yixian had to explain again why he was late.
The children were very excited to see their father and uncle bring back so many things, because they knew there would definitely be delicious food.
Han Yixian watched as the children gathered around, sitting on chairs and taking food out of bags, introducing each item to them as he did so. Each time he took something out, the children cheered, because they were all their favorite foods.
The elders were happy to see the children so joyful. As people get older, they tend to soften towards children and can't help but spoil them. They especially love seeing the children dancing and gesturing with delight.
He Yuhan brought out the food that was still warm in the pot and smiled when she saw how happy the children were. "Now the little guys are happy. This is all the good food for them. Okay, Yi-ge, hurry up and give them some, or they won't be able to sleep tonight. We've all finished eating. Yours has been warming up in the pot. Come and eat."
Wen Jinyu said, "Yixian, go eat quickly, I'll clean up here. Give them a small portion first, otherwise they'll get indigestion. It'll be bedtime soon."
Han Yi handed everything to his mother and then went to eat with his wife.
The children and elderly people were happily looking at the things Han Yixian brought back in the living room, while He Yuhan sat next to Han Yixian watching him eat, occasionally putting some food on his plate.
After an afternoon of digestion and a long bike ride, Han Yixian was starving. His wife's cooking was delicious, so he ate heartily until he felt full, then slowed down and chatted with his wife while eating.
He Yuhan asked, "How are my older brother and the others?"
Han Yixian said, "They are all doing well. Qi Shen still goes to the countryside frequently, and he'll probably come to our area in a few days and visit Huayang as well. My older brother might come to see Haobo too."
They're both very busy with work and often travel out of town for work, so they really don't have time. Luckily, we brought the two children back with us, otherwise Qi Shen really wouldn't have had time to take care of them.”
He Yuhan said, "That's what I considered in the first place. I was afraid of delaying the children's development, so I let them come with us. At least there are more people in our family, so we can take better care of the children."
We can also help the children with their studies more, otherwise, how will they have time to take care of them? My sister-in-law often works night shifts and is very busy with work. Without help from elders, she can't manage the children herself.
Han Yixian said, "So Qi Shen and my elder brother both felt they had caused us trouble, and they bought a lot of things for us this time."
"I didn't touch the cloth ration coupons and industrial vouchers you gave out this time. I was thinking that Guoping and Guoxin should both be looking for partners by now, and Uncle Gao will definitely need to prepare betrothal gifts for them. They haven't been working for very long, so they probably won't have accumulated many coupons. I'll just give these coupons back to Uncle Gao."
He Yuhan nodded and said, "You did the right thing. Uncle Gao has taken good care of us, so we should repay him. We don't lack cloth coupons at home, and we don't need to buy anything. We basically don't need those coupons. You can send them to Uncle Gao later."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "My wife is the most sensible one."
He Yuhan, thinking of her drawings, asked, "I gave my drawings to Brother Zhou, what did he say?"
Han Yixian laughed and said, "He was overjoyed. He was just thinking of asking you to design a new product. Although textile equipment is selling very well now, a person without foresight will have immediate worries. Given the current situation, textile factories in various places will be buying less and less new equipment in the future."
The two agricultural machines you designed this time are exactly what he wanted. He also told you to give them to him if you have any good designs.
He Yuhan nodded and said, "That's good. This way, these two types of agricultural machinery can be produced quickly, and we can use them next year. Everyone won't have to work so hard during the wheat and autumn harvests."
Han Yixian said, "Zhengye said that he will come to our village to conduct the experiment. After it's over, the machine will be returned to us as a trial machine, and we'll just have to give him a token amount of money. I bet Uncle Gao and the village committee will be overjoyed."
After Han Yi finished eating, the two of them cleaned up the dishes and went back to the living room.
Han Xiao was sitting on the sofa watching the children share their food. After his son finished eating, he asked, "How are Zheng Ye and the others?"
Han Yixian sat on the sofa and replied, "When I went to see Zheng Ye this time, he was on the phone in his office, yelling and cursing. Guess what? The Wang family is trying to secretly transfer Zheng Ye back to Kyoto."
Fortunately, Zheng Ye had been keeping an eye on Wang Guixiang and the Wang family since she returned to Kyoto, which allowed them to discover the plot in time; otherwise, the Wang family would have succeeded. Zheng Ye had already threatened the Wang family, saying that if they interfered in his affairs again, he would divorce Wang Guixiang.
He Yuhan asked in surprise, "Wang Guixiang has returned to Kyoto?"
Han Yixian nodded and said, "Zhengye felt something was amiss because of her sudden return to the capital, so he had them kept an eye on. Wang Guixiang also felt that since Zhou Zhengye was going back to the capital, he naturally wouldn't stay in Qianyuan County."
He Yuhan said, "If Brother Zhou isn't going back to Kyoto, Wang Guixiang won't be coming back, right?"
Han Yi shook his head and said, "I guess she won't come back. Zheng Ye doesn't give her much money here, and she can't cook. She has to buy food from state-run restaurants outside. How many meals can she eat with the little money she has?"
In Kyoto, she can still visit her parents' and in-laws' homes for meals, and her mother gives her money from time to time, so she's naturally living a more comfortable life than in Qianyuan County. I reckon she won't come back to Qianyuan County to suffer again.”
Wen Jinyu sighed and said, "Zheng Ye's marriage is no different from not marrying anyone at all. It would have been better if he hadn't married anyone at all."
Han Yixian said, "It's only a matter of time before Zhengye and Wang Guixiang divorce. It's just that the situation in Kyoto is complicated right now, and Zhengye doesn't want to make another enemy of the Zhou family. He can only endure it for now."
After listening to Han Yixian's words, the elders and He Yuhan all felt that their current peaceful life was very precious. As long as the family was happy together, it didn't matter if the living conditions were a little worse.
They should all cherish their current harmonious life.
