The two youngest twins at the dinner table can now eat by themselves, but they are still a little clumsy because of their small size. Wen Jinyu and Yu Huiru have to take care of them by serving them food and rice.
However, Gu Huayang usually sits next to Han Zixin, and he takes good care of the little girl. Han Zixin is happy to be taken care of by her older brother, and seems quite at ease with it.
Gu Qishen was gratified to see his son taking such meticulous care of his goddaughter. The two children had grown up together, and their relationship would naturally blossom as they grew older. At that point, even Han Yixian wouldn't be able to object.
In fact, he knew that Han Yixian was also very protective of his daughter. Not only Huayang, but he probably wouldn't want any boy to marry his precious daughter in the future.
But parents can never win against their children's wishes, and will eventually compromise for their children's happiness.
Han Yixian should be most at ease knowing that Han Zixin will marry into the Gu family in the future, since Huayang is someone they have watched grow up.
You can tell a lot about a child's temperament from a young age. Gu Qishen is growing more and more fond of his goddaughter. He has to take this sweet little girl back to his own home no matter what.
Seeing his son and goddaughter getting along better and better, he was secretly pleased and looked forward to the future when he and Han Yixian would become even closer through marriage.
Zhou Zhengye only learned that Han Yixian and his wife had gone to Kyoto when he came to visit Beili Village with his wife and children.
He hadn't heard anything big happening in Kyoto, and when he called his parents a couple of days ago, they didn't mention that Han Yixian and his wife had returned to Kyoto. It seemed that Han Yixian and his wife's trip to Kyoto was kept secret.
Zhou Zhengye, holding his son, sat on the sofa and said, "Uncle Han, you don't need to worry. If anything really happens, my dad and the others will definitely hear about it. I reckon this is just someone asking Yuhan for help; there's nothing dangerous."
Over the years, Yuhan has designed so many machines and equipment for several factories in Qianyuan County, and also for City C. The higher-ups must know Yuhan's capabilities, which is why they invited her. It's not a bad thing.
Han Xiao nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. That's what I was thinking too. Besides, if they wanted to harm the Han family, it wouldn't be Zhao Huaiming who would send people. I trust Zhao Huaiming's character. Let's just stay home and wait patiently. They'll come back naturally once things are done."
He Yuhan and Han Yixian did indeed stay in Kyoto for a long time, which they themselves did not expect.
After He Yuhan repaired several malfunctioning instruments and equipment at the research institute, someone else came to Zhao Huaiming with the same problem.
Now that Zhao Huaiming trusts He Yuhan, he naturally asks her for help again. He Yuhan can't refuse, so she takes on the machine repair job again.
As for the issue of deliberate sabotage of the equipment at the research institute, He Yuhan and Han Yixian did not pay much attention to it. They only knew that the bad guys had been found and the internal dangers had been eliminated.
By the time He Yuhan finished everything and Han Yixian was about to return to Qianyuan County, it was already December and almost Chinese New Year.
Zhao Huaiming felt bad that Han Yixian and his wife had stayed in Kyoto for so long.
He handed a thick envelope to He Yuhan and said, "Comrade Yuhan, thank you so much this time. This is just a small token of our appreciation from the ministry. Things are difficult everywhere right now, and this is all I could manage to get. Please don't think it's too little."
He Yuhan could tell from the thickness of the envelope that it was a substantial sum of money, but she didn't really need it. She pushed the envelope back and said, "I can't accept this. We're all working for the country, and as members of the nation, we should naturally do our part. I'm happy to be able to help you. Consider this money a donation to the country."
Han Yixian also said, "Yes, Minister Zhao, we are just doing our duty. Consider this money a donation to the country for research funding."
Seeing that Han Yixian and his wife really didn't want the money, Zhao Huaiming said, "I've also prepared some New Year's goods for you. It's almost the New Year, so it's good to bring some gifts back to your families. You can't refuse this, can you?"
Han Yixian smiled and said, "Alright, we'll accept the New Year's gifts."
Zhao Huaiming said, "If you take the train back, you'll probably spend the New Year on the way. I'll arrange for you to take a plane back, and someone will take you directly home when you arrive. This way, your family won't complain that I didn't let you come home for the New Year."
Han Yixian said, "Then we won't stand on ceremony."
Zhao Huaiming said, "Comrade Yuhan, we've gotten to know each other quite well over the past few months. There might be times when I need your help again, so I'd like you to be officially registered in our department."
He Yuhan said, "Minister Zhao, it's fine to just give me a name. If you need my help in the future, just come to me. I will never refuse as long as the country needs me."
Zhao Huaiming said happily, "Good, I admire your high level of awareness. Don't worry, your trip to Kyoto will be kept secret, not many people know. No one will disturb your life in the countryside. However, I do hope you will return to Kyoto as soon as possible. That way it will be more convenient for me to find you."
He Yuhan said, "Thank you for your trouble. Maybe we'll come back sometime."
Zhao Huaiming arranged for someone to take Han Yixian and his wife to the airport where they had come from, and then the couple returned to Qianyuan County with bags and bags of New Year's goods.
Han Yixian and his wife were surprised that Zhao Huaiming would prepare so many New Year's gifts for them. Later, they heard from the staff who delivered the gifts that many of these gifts were given to them by the companies that He Yuhan had repaired, as a way of thanking them for helping to solve a big problem.
Taking a plane is fast, and there are people to pick them up and drop them off. When Han Yixian and his wife returned to Beili Village, it was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the Little New Year.
