Over the weekend, Han Xiuqin brought her youngest son, Yuan Qiwen, to the courtyard. She was surprised to see walnuts drying on the bluestone slabs in the courtyard. As soon as she entered the house, she asked, "Xiao Liu, where did you get so many walnuts?"
Upon seeing that it was Director Han and her son, Liu Gang didn't hide anything and said, "Yuhan found a lot of wild walnuts in the mountains, so we carried them all back."
I opened it and saw that the walnuts inside were very plump; they're good stuff. When you go home later, fill a basket with them to take home and eat.
Yuan Qiwen went outside, took out a few walnuts, cracked one open, and saw that it was indeed very plump. He took out a piece of walnut kernel, threw it into his mouth, nodded, and said, "It's really good. You guys are really lucky. How come I've never encountered such a good thing before?"
"Whenever you go into the mountains again, call me. I want to go in and try my luck; what if I find something good?"
Liu Gang instructed, "Don't tell anyone about this. If others get jealous and go into the mountains to look for things, they might encounter wolves and hurt someone."
Yuan Qiwen nodded and chuckled, "I know, I'll definitely keep it a secret. We'll keep our profits quiet."
Du Yuhan was very happy to see Aunt Han visiting Han Yixian, and quickly poured water for Han Xiuqin and her son.
Han Xiuqin had been quite busy lately, so she hadn't been able to visit her nephew, but she had been keeping in touch with him through Liu Gang. As soon as she had some free time, she immediately came to see Han Yixian.
Han Xiuqin went into the house to talk to her nephew. When she saw him, she felt that not only did he look much better than she had seen him for some time, but he also seemed to have gained some weight.
His already handsome face had become even whiter and more jade-like after being away from the wind and sun for several months, and coupled with his good complexion, his overall energy and spirit were much better than before. He looked even more handsome than before.
Han Xiuqin sighed inwardly. No wonder so many girls used to have their eyes on such a handsome young man, who was as refined as jade.
But people are realistic. As soon as my nephew was diagnosed with a disability, all those girls who used to seem very sensible, well-behaved, and kind-hearted immediately kept their distance, as if they were afraid of being stalked by him.
Even Liu Ying was the same; she couldn't wait to break off her engagement with her nephew. They're all a bunch of snobs.
Yuan Qiwen also went inside to talk to his cousin.
Han Xiuqin was afraid that her youngest son would disturb her nephew, so she didn't let him bother Han Yixian. As a result, Yuan Qiwen hadn't seen his cousin for many days. When he saw his cousin again, he felt that his cousin was no longer as depressed as before, which was a good sign.
Han Yixian was also very happy to see his aunt and younger cousin arrive, and asked, "Aunt, is everything alright at home?"
Han Xiuqin replied, "Everything is fine. You look much better than before, and you even seem to have gained a little weight."
Han Yixian smiled and said, "That's because Yuhan's cooking is so good that I can't help but eat more. I've started exercising now. Otherwise, I'm really afraid of becoming fat."
Han Xiuqin was surprised to find that her nephew was actually joking, something that had never happened before.
Yuan Qiwen leaned on his cousin's shoulder and said, "Big cousin, are you living a good life now? Do you eat meat every day?"
Han Yixian turned his head and glared at his younger cousin, saying, "You think hunting is so easy? It's all because Yuhan and Gangzi worked hard to catch it in the mountains."
Han Xiuqin patted her youngest son and scolded him, "Go away, don't bother your cousin. I'll talk to your cousin. Go play outside."
After being kicked out of the east room by his mother, Yuan Qiwen went outside to find Liu Gang to inquire about hunting in the mountains.
After watching her youngest son leave, Han Xiuqin asked, "Yixian, is Du Yuhan alright? You look much better, which puts my mind at ease. Give your dad a call later so he can feel at ease too. He's been thinking about you."
Han Yi nodded and said, "Du Yuhan is indeed a very diligent girl. She is good at cooking, can do housework, and is very shrewd. From now on, she can take care of me."
Han Xiuqin was finally relieved to hear her nephew say that.
Han Yixian said, “Aunt, some of my comrades wrote to say that the situation there is not good. Last winter, there was not much snow or rain, and it has been the same since the New Year. This is not a good omen; I am afraid there will be a disaster.”
You should stock up on food in advance, and buy what you need as soon as possible, in case the supply becomes even tighter later.
Han Xiuqin frowned and said, "Is that so? We really need to take precautions. It would be terrible if a disaster really broke out."
Alas, many people are already starving; if another disaster strikes, people will truly die. But we don't have the power to stop it; we can only take care of ourselves first.
Han Yixian changed the subject, asking, "How is my dad?"
Han Xiuqin replied, "Your dad is in good health, he was just worried about you. He's relieved that you're alright."
Yixian, I know your mother's treatment of you hurt you. Since she treated you that way, just don't dwell on it. Those closest to us are often the ones who can hurt us the most. If you stop caring about her, she won't be able to hurt you anymore.
She has other children. You'll stay here and live here from now on. As long as you open your heart, everything will be alright.
Han Yixian nodded with a bitter smile on his handsome face and said, "Aunt, I understand what you're saying. Since my mother no longer needs me, and even hates me, then I'll stay away from her."
She has other children and truly doesn't need me anymore; she's afraid I'll be a burden to her. If she needs my filial piety in the future, I will do my part like my other younger siblings, but nothing more.
Han Xiuqin knew that her nephew was deeply hurt this time, and she just hoped that he could come to his senses.
She nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. You'll encounter many obstacles in your life, but as long as you don't give up hope for life, you can always overcome them if you muster the courage."
You went to the battlefield at a young age and risked your life there for over a decade. Now that fate has taken you away from the battlefield, don't give up on yourself. With your intelligence, as long as you work hard, you'll always have a good life.
I have never lost faith in you; even with your physical limitations, you will be no worse off than anyone else.
The aunt and nephew talked a lot, and Han Xiuqin also hoped that her nephew could let go of the past, embrace a new future, and live his life well.
She was quite certain that as long as her nephew put his heart into managing his life, he would be no worse than others, and might even be better.
She vaguely sensed that Du Yuhan had a great influence on Han Yixian.
Although she was absolutely certain that her nephew had no romantic feelings for Du Yuhan, Du Yuhan did bring sunshine and enthusiasm to his life.
Regardless of what happens to the two of them in the end, at least now her nephew has hope and enthusiasm for life, which is exactly what she wanted to see.
