Lunch included fish and meat, as well as vegetables; it was a rare treat for Zhou Zhengye and He Zhenhua.
In the city, the aroma of someone cooking something delicious can travel far and wide, attracting the attention of the neighbors. Zhou Zhengye rarely cooks; he usually eats the communal meals at the company canteen for convenience. He only goes to a state-run restaurant occasionally when he really wants something better, but that's a very rare occurrence.
He Zhenhua fared somewhat better, but whenever he cooked something delicious, the neighbors would inquire about it. This annoyed him, so he usually tried to cook things that didn't have a strong aroma, like dumplings.
If you want something even tastier, just come to your sister's place. He'll just buy more things for her family.
Because He Zhenhua and Zhou Zhengye now live close by and work in the same unit, He Zhenhua sometimes invites Zhou Zhengye to have a special meal at home.
While enjoying the delicious food, He Zhenhua said, "Yuhan, can I bring some of this delicious food to your sister-in-law?"
He Yuhan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I already saved some for my sister-in-law."
Wen Jinyu smiled and said, "Zhenhua is doing well; he knows how to cherish his wife now. I think Qingya has become much more cheerful. She's obviously someone who loves her."
Yu Huiru said, "Qingya has changed a lot since I last saw her. The melancholy in her eyes is gone. I think she has let go of her past grievances."
He Yuhan smiled and said, "This is all thanks to my older brother. With such a loving husband, my sister-in-law must be very happy. She has naturally let go of those things from the past."
Wen Jinyu said, "Yes, there's no hurdle that no one can't overcome. When I sent Yixian away, I felt like I wouldn't survive. I fell seriously ill. Later, my elder brother advised me to live well so that I could see my son again, and that gave me the motivation to keep living."
It was our perseverance back then that made this reunion possible. All the hardships we endured were worthwhile.
Han Xiao held his wife's hand and said, "It's my incompetence that has caused you so much suffering. I'm so sorry."
Wen Jinyu patted her husband's hand and said, "You haven't had it easy either. Besides, it wasn't your fault. Fortunately, we can still be together in this lifetime, so it's all worth it."
However, we were able to reunite thanks to Yuhan; she's truly our family's lucky star. At that time, I felt like I couldn't go on, but Yuhan appeared, not only resolving our predicament but also bringing Yixian to me.
Liu Zhongyi also said, "Yes, our family is able to reunite thanks to Yuhan."
Han Yixian comforted his mother, saying, "Mom, our lives will only get better and better. Aren't we happy now? You and Dad will live to be a hundred years old. When you hold your great-grandchild, you'll surely cherish the memories of this time."
Yu Huiru sighed, "It's all predestined, which is why there are so many coincidences. It's really not easy for us to be able to gather together and have peaceful and tranquil days now."
Wen Jinyu said, "Yes, I am content with my life now."
Zhou Zhengye was also envious of Han's parents. Although they had been separated for decades, they had finally met again and gotten back together, and were now living happily.
He didn't even have anyone to wait for. He Yuhan, the one in his heart, would never belong to him, and no matter how many years he waited, there was no hope.
His marriage is now tied to Wang Guixiang, and he no longer has the right to think about who he likes.
Even if he gets over He Yuhan in the future, he will have to be single again before he is qualified to pursue another girl he likes.
He thought of his mother's frequent phone calls and advice, and he couldn't control his feelings. Maintaining the status quo was already quite good. He knew he would never be able to like Wang Guixiang in his entire life.
His marriage to Wang Guixiang is like a shackle, tightly binding all his paths to happiness. He is now powerless and unable to break free from this shackle.
If Wang Guixiang eventually can't take it anymore and finds someone else, it would be better for her to take the initiative to file for divorce.
He thought he was one of the few men in the world who hoped his wife would cheat on him and fall for someone else.
As He Chenglin ate the delicious meal, he thought of his friends and colleagues whose fates were still unknown and said, "Seeing those friends and former colleagues get into trouble one by one in City C, I wanted to help them. But there were some I could still help with, and some I was truly powerless to do anything about."
After all, I'm not just looking out for myself, and I'm afraid of burdening my children. Sigh, sometimes I really feel ashamed when I think about it.
Han Xiao patted He Chenglin on the shoulder and said, "If we don't think about our children, who else should we think about? Now that we can live our own lives well, it's good enough to help our old friends within our means."
"Come on, let's drink. Yuhan specially brought this wine back for you today. I'm getting a taste of your hospitality."
He Chenglin laughed and said, "Don't try to fool me. If you want to drink, I don't believe Yuhan won't get it for you."
Wen Jinyu laughed as he revealed his husband's secret: "Yuhan has never stopped giving him wine. Every time she goes out, Yuhan brings him back good wine, and she often makes him medicinal wine to drink."
Yuhan is really generous; she gave him such a big ginseng root to make medicinal wine. His health is even better than before.”
Liu Zhongyi laughed and said, "I can testify to that. I've also been drinking the medicinal wine. Yuhan's medicinal wine is truly amazing; it really strengthens the body. Plus, with the Tai Chi that Yuhan taught us, I feel my body is getting stronger and stronger."
Chenglin also joined us in drinking medicinal wine, practicing Tai Chi, fishing by the river, and playing chess in the yard when he had free time. This kind of healthy lifestyle truly benefits both body and mind.
