"Tang Tuan, is this really your home?" Xiao Gao couldn't help but blurt out after moving the things!
"No!" Tang Zhan replied indifferently.
When the few people heard this, they looked at each other, confused as to what was going on, when they heard Tang Tuan say slowly:
"This house belongs to your sister-in-law, I'm just living here for the sake of it!"
Everyone: “…”
With everyone's help, the first and second courtyards were cleaned up quickly!
Tang's mother and Su Guoyu were cleaning in the kitchen!
Looking at the kitchen that had not been cleaned up yet, Tang's mother couldn't help but worry about today's lunch.
Everyone has been busy all morning, so it stands to reason that they should at least be treated to a good meal!
But this time it’s all done quickly!
"Mom, Auntie, please light the stove and wash some vegetables. I'll go buy some meat and we'll have hot pot for lunch!"
Wen Guoer's voice came from outside the kitchen, and Su Guoyu's eyes immediately lit up!
She had eaten the hot pot her niece mentioned before! The taste was so delicious that she couldn't help drooling just thinking about it!
"That's a good idea! I know how to prepare! Go quickly and come back soon, and be careful on the road!" Su Guoyu said with a smile.
Wen Guoer went out and headed straight for the nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
She knew very well that she couldn't buy what she wanted in the supply and marketing cooperative, but she still pretended to be there, walked around a few times, and symbolically bought some onions and ginger.
On the way back, she turned into an empty alley and took out mutton, pork belly, tofu, vermicelli... some side dishes suitable for hot pot from the space.
This time she didn't dare take out the beef, after all, it was too conspicuous!
After hanging the things on the handlebars, she turned out of the alley and was stopped by someone!
"Guo'er! Is it really you? Why are you here?" Han Wenying looked surprised.
Wen Guoer hurriedly got out of the car, also surprised: "Auntie Han? What a coincidence! I just moved to the city today, so I came out to buy some groceries."
"Moved here? That's a coincidence! I live here! Look, the house with the sycamore tree at the front door is my home!" Han Wenying happily pointed at her own house and introduced it.
"That's a coincidence! We're only across an alley!" Wen Guoer said. Seeing Han Wenying holding her bag, she asked, "Auntie Han, are you going out?"
"Hey! There are so many patients in the hospital this morning! It's already this late once we get busy. Look, I just got back from get off work."
"Aunt Han must not have had lunch yet, right? I plan to make hot pot at noon. Why don't you join us? It'll be like warming the house for us!" Wen Guoer invited.
"Sure! What you cook must be delicious!"
Han Wenying still remembers the magical instant noodles that Wen Guoer made on the train! After asking Wen Guoer's house number, she said:
"You go back first, I'll go home and be there soon!"
"Okay, Aunt Han, please come over quickly. We're waiting for you to have dinner!" Wen Guoer gave her instructions and rode her bike to rush home.
After watching Wen Guoer leave, Han Wenying returned to the yard.
Han Wenying lives in a three-courtyard house left by her father, Mr. Han.
Mr. Han had countless disciples during his lifetime, but because his wife died early, he never remarried, and he had only one daughter, Han Wenying.
Han Wenying has been learning medicine from his father since he was a child. He has learned a lot of medical skills, but unfortunately he is not talented and has never achieved much accomplishment.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, 17-year-old Han Wenying, with her passion, secretly left home to join the revolution and went to the front line to work as a field doctor.
Han Wenying didn't expect that after her father found out, instead of being angry, he encouraged her in a letter and gave her great support.
Later, in a field hospital, she fell in love with a wounded company commander and they became revolutionary partners.
But the good times did not last long, as the company commander unfortunately died in the war.
Han Wenying couldn't accept the news for a while! She was so heartbroken that she had a miscarriage and lost her only child.
After that, she never remarried.
After the war, she returned to her man's hometown, Heilongjiang Province, and took on the burden of taking care of her man's parents.
At the beginning of this year, the two elders passed away one after another. Han Wenying suddenly had no more ideas or reasons to stay in Heilongjiang Province, so she returned to Kyoto alone.
However, when she came back again, she was the only one living in the huge yard.
Mr. Han and his wife had passed away due to illness many years ago. It was during the war, and Han Wenying was unable to return to see them for the last time.
......
At this time, Han Wenying was busy at the hospital and at home every day, but she gradually adapted to life in Kyoto.
Thinking about going to warm up Wen Guoer's house, I can't go empty-handed.
Han Wenying went into the basement of her home to choose a gift.
In the basement are calligraphy and paintings, classics and some objects collected by Mr. Han during his lifetime.
Thanks to this basement, which is hidden well, the things inside have been preserved over the years.
Han Wenying selected a landscape painting, which she thought would be a suitable housewarming gift.
She carefully rolled up the scroll, put it in a long mahogany box, and walked out of the basement.
Arriving at Wen Guoer's house, perhaps because they had just moved in today, the door was wide open! She walked right in.
There were two coal stoves in the main room.
Everyone was sitting around two hot pots, chatting and laughing.
Wen Guoer saw Han Wenying come in and stepped forward to greet her with a smile, "Auntie Han, please come in! We're all ready and waiting for you to start the meal!"
"I'm so sorry for leaving everyone hungry!" Han Wenying handed the scroll to Wen Guoer.
"This is a painting my father collected in his early years. I think the artistic conception is quite nice. Consider it my housewarming gift to you."
