Chapter 274: Reward



Deng Tong originally thought that he was well-informed and had eaten a lot. Although he had heard that the Han family's food was very good, he thought it just tasted good at best. But when he sat down at the table, he saw a table full of dishes that were almost all things he had never eaten before, some of which he had never even seen before and could not recognize at all. The aroma made him salivate.

"It seems that I really came to the right place today. Thank you, sister-in-law, for arranging a table of delicious food so that I can enjoy a feast."

"Mr. Deng, you are too polite. I was thinking that you eat too much meat and fish, so I made these ordinary side dishes to change your taste. Can you try them and see if they suit your taste?" Su Wenyue was confident in the dishes she had arranged to cook, and she had tasted them first. However, she said this out of modesty.

Deng Tong was very satisfied with the meal. If he hadn't had to rush back tomorrow, he would have wanted to stay at the Han's house for a few more meals. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Su Wenyue for a few recipes. Since he couldn't come to the Han's house often, he had to let his own chef come up with the recipes.

After dinner, Deng Tong went to see the three little ones. Seeing them plump and energetic, and thinking of his own family's situation, he couldn't help but sigh. He was envious of Han Yu for marrying such a beautiful and tender wife who could not only cook, but most importantly, she could give birth to three children in one pregnancy and raised them so well. Everything about her was good, it was hard not to envy her.

"I couldn't be here for the children's full month celebration. This is a small gift for the three children. Please accept it, my sister-in-law." Deng Tong had obviously made preparations. He gave three identical jade pendants. The texture of the jade pendants was crystal clear and delicate, without any flaws. At first glance, they were the best jade.

"Master Deng, this jade pendant is too valuable. Children cannot accept such valuable things from you." Su Wenyue quickly refused on behalf of the children.

"This is what I prepared specially for my three children. Sister-in-law, please don't be polite with me. It's rare for me to meet a friend like Xiuqi (Han Yu's name is Xiuqi) who I can talk to. There will be many opportunities to bother you in the future. A few jade pendants are not worth much, but they are my thoughts. Sister-in-law, please don't refuse."

After hearing what Deng Tong said, Su Wenyue turned to look at Han Yu. Only after Han Yu’s signal did she accept the jade pendant: “Then I will thank Master Deng on behalf of my three children.”

Han Yu personally went to see Deng Tong off and came back, only to see his wife sitting in the room waiting eagerly. She hadn't even changed her clothes at this late hour. Thinking that his wife must have heard him and Deng Tong talking when she came in during dinner, she must have been waiting for him here for this matter. Han Yu felt helpless because of his wife's temper.

"Husband, you're back. Tell me what's going on. Are you going to be transferred to the headquarters in the provincial capital?" Su Wenyue asked anxiously before Han Yu had changed his clothes. It was already December and she was already arranging matters for the New Year. If she was transferred to the provincial capital, many things would be disrupted and would have to be rearranged. Moreover, although this was a good thing, there had been no rumors before and she was not mentally prepared at all.

"Yes, I'm going to be transferred to the headquarters in the prefectural city. It's not that I didn't tell you, but I just got the news today. I was out there before for this matter, and now it's finally come to fruition. But the official transfer order hasn't come down yet, and I don't know if there will be any unexpected changes, so don't let this news out for now. But it will be soon. If there is no unexpected change, the official document from above will come down in the next few days."

"Husband, have you been promoted again?" Su Wenyue asked with blinking eyes. No wonder she was jealous of others, Han Yu's promotion speed was indeed too fast. Even at this time in his previous life, Han Yu was just a mediocre official, and then he became successful. As for how he became successful, she followed that man away and was not too clear about it, but in the end he became the prime minister.

"Yes, your husband is going to be promoted again. Are you happy, my wife?" Han Yu said with a smile. All his plans had come true. It was not easy to show it in front of outsiders, but he did not have to worry so much in front of his wife. He walked over and picked up his wife, kissed her fiercely a few times, and held her in his arms and ravaged her.

"I'm happy, happy. What are you doing, my husband? Oh, don't do this. It's so annoying!" Su Wenyue was happy, but her man was like this. Why did he torment her every time he was happy? This bad habit must be changed!

What Han Yu said was right. Sure enough, within two days, the official documents and transfer orders came down from above. Because Han Yu had made great contributions in suppressing bandits, he was promoted to a captain of the sixth rank, and was promoted two levels. He was also given a 20-day vacation. After the Chinese New Year, he went to the headquarters to take up his post.

With the above official documents and transfer orders, the matter was considered a done deal. Su Wenyue then sent the good news to her natal family and her husband's family respectively. At the same time, the news quickly spread in the military camp and became a topic of discussion among everyone.

Han Yu was originally a farmer and he was still very young. His previous promotion speed was fast enough to attract people's attention. Now he was promoted again and transferred directly to the headquarters. Although it was a reward for suppressing bandits, how could people not envy, jealousy and hatred for such good luck? After all, Han Yu did not gain fame and honor by fighting on the battlefield like in his previous life, so it was normal for everyone to react like this. However, Han Yu would not take these slanderous rumors behind his back to heart, and the same was true for Su Wenyue.

Now that the official document has come down, even though Han Yu will take up his post after the New Year, he still has to make preparations. Su Wenyue has a manor outside the city, where he can live on weekdays. The headquarters is also on the outskirts of the city, which is closer and convenient for Han Yu to travel back and forth. However, if he needs to socialize on weekdays, he must have a house in the city. He can't let everyone go to the manor. Not to mention the inconvenience, the things in the manor are Su Wenyue's secrets and trump cards, which she doesn't want others to notice or know. However, Su Wenyue doesn't want to rent the house this time, but wants to buy one directly. It's cheaper to buy a house now, and Su Wenyue has plenty of food, so she has the confidence to do so.

Su Wenyue told Han Yu about this idea, and Han Yu agreed. However, Han Yu did not want Su Wenyue to pay. The money seized from the bandit camp last time should be enough to buy a house.

"Okay, leave it to me. I'm more familiar with the affairs in the provincial capital than you are. Ask someone to inquire about it first to see if there is a suitable house. If there is, we'll buy it. It would be best if we can settle down before the New Year. We'll go to the provincial capital to celebrate the New Year this year. It's more lively there than the county." Han Yu was of course not only thinking about whether it was lively or not. He mainly wanted to take advantage of the time before he started working to move around in the provincial capital, build up good relationships, and find out the situation at the headquarters so that he wouldn't be completely in the dark when he first arrived.
