Han Xiuqin originally wanted to bring the little girl to her nephew to see his reaction first, but she recently heard that the little girl was not the Du family's biological daughter at all, but a pair of revolutionary soldiers who were fostered by the Du family.
Moreover, the little girl was severely bullied in the Du family. Although her adoptive parents felt sorry for their daughter, they were powerless to protect her. So she decided that no matter what her nephew thought, she would bring the child to the city.
Now that she has seen Du Yuhan, she is very confident that her nephew will be able to keep her.
She realized that the old lady was no pushover, and that transferring Du Yuhan's household registration would be a permanent solution to avoid future trouble.
The old lady just doesn't know where to look for Du Yuhan in the future.
Seeing that the little girl had stopped crying, Han Xiuqin comforted her, "Don't be afraid. It's just that you're going to take care of an older brother who has difficulty moving around. He's a soldier who was seriously injured and paralyzed while saving his comrades. He's a hero. And we'll treat you very well too."
Hearing Han Xiuqin's comforting words, Du Yuhan wiped away her tears and said, "I will take good care of that older brother."
At this moment, although Du Yuhan was reluctant to part with her adoptive parents, she was also excited. She was about to see Han Yixian, who had died young in her previous life and had become a wound in her heart.
She will take good care of him until his leg is healed, and she will repay his kindness in the end.
Han Xiuqin was stunned by the little girl's bright and clear eyes. The little girl's big eyes were especially beautiful, and now they were glistening with tears of excitement.
Although she hasn't fully developed yet, you can tell she's a beauty in the making. Because of hunger, she hasn't grown well and doesn't look like a fifteen-year-old girl at all; she needs to be properly cared for.
But perhaps her appearance would make her nephew take pity on her and keep her. Besides, the little girl's appearance is quite endearing.
The young girl possessed a serene and gentle temperament that instantly calmed anyone who saw her. This was exactly what her nephew, whose temper had become volatile, needed.
Han Xiuqin became more and more satisfied with the look; perhaps this time she had truly found the right person.
Han Xiuqin thought of her nephew, who was once a proud son of heaven, who was seriously wounded on the battlefield while saving his comrades. Although his legs were not amputated, they had lost all feeling.
My nephew's attending physician is the director of the Kyoto Military General Hospital. He said that there is no possibility of my nephew's leg recovering, which means that my nephew will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. How can he bear this?
The sister-in-law, who had once been proud of her eldest son, changed her attitude towards him once he could no longer bring her glory. The fiancée, who had always chased after her nephew, also broke off the engagement because of his paralysis.
A series of setbacks made my nephew irritable and more silent. He rarely spoke and was very difficult to get along with, as if he were covered in thorns. No matter how many caregivers the family hired, he drove them all away.
Finally, her elder brother begged her to take her nephew to D province, away from the heartbreaking place of Kyoto.
Han Xiuqin thought that since the older caregiver couldn't be kept, she would find a younger one, just like finding a wife for her nephew. The two of them would naturally develop feelings for each other after spending a long time together, and perhaps her nephew would forget the fiancée who abandoned him.
Han Xiuqin's husband, Yuan Fengshan, is the commander of the military region of D province, and they are riding in a military vehicle at this time.
After dark, they entered a city and stayed at a guesthouse for the night. They set off early the next morning and finally arrived at the military family compound of the military region of D province around noon.
Looking at the familiar military family compound, Du Yuhan was filled with emotion. She never expected she would have the chance to come here again.
In her previous life, Du Yuhan had thought about revisiting her old haunts after returning to China, but after learning that Han Yixian had passed away, she dared not go back, fearing that the sight would trigger painful memories and that there would be no point in returning.
The jeep stopped directly in front of the Yuan family's courtyard. Han Xiuqin got out of the car first and turned to Du Yuhan, saying, "Yuhan, I'll call you that from now on. Rest at your aunt's house for the night, and I'll take you to your brother Han Yixian's place tomorrow."
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "I will follow Aunt's arrangements."
The military compound has been expanded several times, and the houses are of all kinds, including two-story buildings and bungalows. On the other side of the compound, there are also several four-story buildings.
The Yuan family lived in a two-story building that was assigned according to their social status.
Du Yuhan followed Han Xiuqin into the Yuan family's courtyard. At this time, the Yuan family members had all gone to work or school, and no one was home. Han Xiuqin took out her key and opened the door.
Du Yuhan walked into the house and looked around the hall, finding the furnishings to be the same as in her previous life.
Although she lived in another place with Han Yixian, she often came to the Yuan family's house and was very familiar with it.
Han Xiuqin said, "Yuhan, come on, I'll arrange a room for you first so you can take a shower, then we'll have a simple bowl of noodles to eat, and after that, you can take a nap and get some rest."
Du Yuhan nodded and followed Han Xiuqin upstairs to a room. After putting down her bag, she took a change of clothes and followed Han Xiuqin to the bathroom.
The two-story building had been renovated, and the bathroom now has a system for supplying hot water for bathing.
At that time, the military compound had a dedicated heating station that burned its own boiler and provided hot water, but only for an hour each at noon and in the evening. At other times, the water was not hot, so there was no way to take a hot shower.
It's noon now, so there's hot water available for a shower.
Han Xiuqin carefully taught Du Yuhan how to use the faucets and other facilities in the bathroom, knowing that people in the countryside had never seen these things before and wouldn't know how to use them. Then she discovered that Du Yuhan was very smart and learned quickly.
In fact, Du Yuhan lives alone in the west room of the house. She takes a shower every night in the space, so she is very clean and doesn't take long to shower.
Han Xiuqin quickly took a shower in another bathroom and then went to the kitchen to cook noodles.
She used the last bit of noodles left at home to treat Du Yuhan.
Resources are scarce now, and living conditions are not good for any family. Conditions are better in the military, but most of the time they eat cornbread and mixed flour buns. Noodles are considered a luxury.
When Du Yuhan came to the kitchen and saw that Han Xiuqin had made noodles, she was touched. In these days, being able to eat a bowl of noodles was a good thing. Moreover, the Yuan family was a very honest and upright family. Yuan Fengshan also had to help his comrades and subordinates from time to time. Their lives were not much better than those of ordinary people.
Du Yuhan said, "Auntie, let's just eat whatever we have. Such a precious thing as noodles should be saved for the family."
Han Xiuqin ladled the cooked noodles into a bowl and said, "Your uncle and my youngest son usually eat lunch at the army canteen. The food in the army is pretty good, much better than what ordinary people eat at home, so we don't need to worry about it. Come on, eat while it's hot, and take a nap after you finish eating."
Han Xiuqin cooked noodles with stir-fried cabbage, and they tasted pretty good. After the mother and daughter each ate a bowl of noodles with a small dish of side dishes, Du Yuhan insisted on washing the dishes.
