The New Year has passed and another year has begun. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, before Zhou Zhengye and his colleagues had returned to work, an unexpected person arrived at the Han family home. This person was Yue Tingshan, who had grown into an adult.
By this time, Yue Tingshan had grown into a tall, handsome young man. He drove over with many gifts to pay his respects to the Han family for the New Year.
Over the years, Yue Tingshan had been corresponding with He Yuhan. However, He Yuhan and her family lived in a remote area, and letters took a long time to arrive. Therefore, Yue Tingshan was unable to notify the Han family in time when he came to pay his New Year's visit, and could only come unexpectedly.
He Yuhan could hardly recognize Yue Tingshan, who had grown into a handsome and tall young man. She looked him up and down and laughed, "You've changed a lot in the past few years. You've really grown up."
Yue Tingshan was very excited to see that Yu Han hadn't changed much. "Yu Han, you seem to have changed no more. You're still so young and beautiful."
Upon hearing this, He Yuhan touched her face and shook her head, saying, "How could I not have changed? I'm already in my thirties, a mother of four, and about to become a middle-aged woman."
"Quick, come inside. My older brother and I are here for the New Year and haven't gone home yet. You should meet them."
Han Yixian also said, "Yes, this time the whole family is here, you can see them all."
Yue Tingshan took a bunch of things out of the car. "Sister Yuhan, these are all gifts I brought for you."
Upon seeing all this stuff, He Yuhan said, "It's already good enough that you came to see us, why did you bring so much stuff?"
He Yuhan quickly called the children inside to help move things.
Soon a line of children, from oldest to youngest, came out. Yue Tingshan could tell who Gu Huayang and He Haobo were, and he could also recognize some of the eldest, Han Xurui, but he didn't recognize the others.
He looked at a pretty little girl and said, "Sister Yuhan, is this little girl Zixin from the twins? She's grown so much and looks a lot like you."
He Yuhan smiled and said, "She's more like me. She's already a very sensible little girl. She's everyone's little darling."
With the children's help, everything was moved into the house.
Yue Tingshan entered the house and greeted the elders. He Yuhan introduced him to people he didn't know.
Wen Jinyu stood up, patted Yue Tingshan's arm, and laughed, "Tingshan has grown taller than before; I can hardly reach your shoulder anymore. Now you look like a mature and steady young man."
Are your grandparents and parents all well?
Yue Tingshan obediently replied, "They are all well. They came to say hello to me on their behalf."
Yu Huiru also smiled and said, "We are all doing well. It's been several years since you last came. You've changed quite a bit. You must be tired from driving all this way. Sit down and rest for a while."
As she spoke, she pulled Yue Tingshan to sit on the sofa.
Han Xiao asked, "Tingshan, how's work going these days?"
Yue Tingshan said, "Work is okay. It's just that I'll be transferred to Kyoto after the New Year. Although my grandparents and parents don't want me to leave home for Kyoto, I can't disobey the transfer order, so I have no choice but to go."
Han Xiao nodded and said, "Since you have to go, then do a good job. But you also have to be careful and try not to get involved in the conflicts in the capital. The situation is getting better year by year, so you have to be careful to maintain a proper balance."
Yue Tingshan said, "I will definitely keep your teachings in mind."
He Yuhan poured Yue Tingshan a cup of tea and said, "The situation in Kyoto is complicated. You should do your homework in advance to avoid falling into someone's trap."
Han Xiao said, "I'll give you the addresses of a few friends later. When you get to Kyoto, visit them so you can ask for their help if you need anything in the future. I'll also make time to keep in touch with them."
Yue Tingshan stood up, bowed to Han Xiao, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Han."
Han Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. You're one of our juniors, so it's only right that we help you."
Han Yixian said from the side, "Tingshan, will they arrange a dormitory for you when you get there?"
Yue Tingshan said, "I should stay in the company dormitory. It's fine for me to live alone."
Han Yixian nodded and said, "I have an empty house in Kyoto, and there is a family who help look after it. You can go and take a look when you get to Kyoto. If you don't want to stay in the company dormitory, you can stay there. It's more comfortable and casual there."
He Yuhan said, "Yes, it's more convenient to live in your own house. One downside of living in the dormitory is that if something happens, the whole unit will know, and some people like to visit each other's rooms, so there's very little privacy."
"You, a single young man, are in even more trouble if you're being targeted by those middle-aged women who love matchmaking."
Yu Huiru laughed and said, "That's very possible. Our Tingshan is so handsome, capable, and from a good family. Wouldn't families with daughters be eyeing him?"
Yue Tingshan shuddered at the thought of what Sister Yuhan had described; he certainly didn't want to face that situation. He decided to try staying in the dormitory first, and if that didn't work out, he would move out decisively.
Yue Tingshan stopped refusing and said, "Then after I go to Kyoto, I'll go and see the house Brother Han mentioned. If I can't stay in the company dormitory, I'll move there. I don't want to be bothered by a bunch of middle-aged women; that would be too terrible."
Everyone laughed when they heard what Yue Tingshan said.
He Yuhan said, "Maybe we'll go back to Kyoto in a few years. You can think of this as paving the way for us."
Upon hearing this, Yue Tingshan exclaimed with delight, "Really? Sister Yuhan, you might move back to Kyoto in the future?"
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Of course, we will definitely go back as soon as the situation improves. After all, our home is in Kyoto."
Upon hearing this, Yue Tingshan felt a surge of hope. If Yuhan's family moved back to Kyoto, he wouldn't be struggling alone in the city anymore. He would be able to see Yuhan more often.
He now sincerely hopes that the situation will improve soon so that Yuhan's family can move back to Kyoto.
Although Yue Tingshan had never met the youngest twins, he already knew about them. This time, he carefully selected gifts for each of them.
He even prepared something for Zhou Zhengye's son. His consideration was undeniably thorough.
Yue Tingshan has been working for several years now, so the topics he talks about with his older siblings and elders have changed a lot, and everyone clearly treats him as an adult.
Because he had to go to Kyoto to report for duty early after the New Year, Yue Tingshan only stayed at the Han family's house for two days before reluctantly returning home.
He needs to go back and prepare; time is already very tight.
He had wanted to visit Sister Yuhan for a long time, but once he started working, many things became beyond his control, and he simply couldn't find the time.
This trip was only possible because he's about to start working in Kyoto, making it even more difficult for him to visit Qianyuan County. It's so rare for them to see each other. I really hope Yuhan's family can move back to Kyoto soon.
