Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Let’s not split up
Han Lin opened his mouth to speak, but Yang Dai shook her head at him.
Han's mother is in a good mood at the moment, and if she says no, it will probably affect her mood.
Han Lin looked at Yang Dai, then silently turned his gaze away and continued talking to Chen Yongnian.
He could see that Chen Yongnian had been observing him since he arrived.
Han Lin let him observe openly. Chen Yongnian wouldn't be able to see anything wrong anyway, so he wasn't afraid at all.
Furthermore, even if Chen Yongnian was extremely observant and noticed that something was wrong with him, he would have a hundred reasons to excuse himself.
Although his current behavior is completely different from before, he has tested Han's father and mother, and they both think that Han Lin's change is perfectly normal.
In the minds of Han's father and mother, the order of getting married first and then building a career is a very normal one.
Before, Han Lin didn't get married and just lived a life of eating and waiting to die. He had his parents, brother and sister-in-law to support him, so it didn't matter if he starved to death. Naturally, he worked for three days and took two days off.
But things are different after marriage, and once you get married, you will separate from the family. Han Lin will definitely have to rely on himself to stand up and take on his own responsibilities, so naturally he will not resist going to work.
This is Han’s mother’s analysis.
Han's father looked at Han Lin's changes from another perspective.
In the past, when Han's father went to the Housing Management Department to help as a temporary worker, he also asked Han Lin to come with him.
But Han Lin was still young at that time, his mind was restless, and he just wanted to play all day long.
The work in the Housing Management Department was tiring, and most of the people on the construction site were older than Han Lin, so they couldn't get along well. Naturally, Han Lin was unwilling to do so.
But this time was different. I was lucky this time. Besides Han Lin, there were other young people on the construction site.
Hu Ping, in particular, is not only eloquent, but also often has friends of the same age come to the construction site to find him, and unknowingly they have become familiar with Han Lin.
With familiar friends and the appreciation of his leaders, Han Lin naturally became happier and happier as he worked, and no more trouble occurred.
Anyway, no matter which aspect the couple considered, they came to the same conclusion - their son has really grown up and become sensible.
My son was naughty before just because he was young, but now he has grown up!
Ever since he understood what Han's father and mother were thinking, Han Lin no longer had any worries.
In his spare time, he also wondered where the original soul had gone, but he had no clue. He also wondered whether the original Han Lin and Yang Dai had any relationship with them in past lives or present lives.
After all, they have the same name, look the same, and even their relationship is similar.
It can be said that apart from their own personalities and growing environment, they are basically exactly the same.
Han Lin once wondered if he and Yang Dai were the other side of the two people in this world, and that only when the two were united would they be complete.
But this kind of thing is inherently mysterious, and in this era, people are very wary of all kinds of metaphysical theories and do not allow the spread of such feudal superstitions. Han Lin could only think about it on his own and made no progress.
Over time, they let this matter go. Regardless of whether they had any relationship with the original body, they came here and inherited the original body's memories and relationships, so they had to take on this responsibility.
The original body could be carefree and not think about anything, but Han Lin couldn't.
Han Lin was distracted by other things while dealing with Chen Yongnian.
Chen Yongnian also works in the government agency, but not in an important position. Instead, he works as a secretary for a leader in charge of the environment and education.
Small places don't take things like the environment seriously at all, and education is no different. It's not something that's important.
The leaders did not include educational indicators in the performance evaluation work, so most of the time, Chen Yongnian's work was easy.
But it just so happened that the selection of a new round of workers, peasants and soldiers as college students had begun recently. This was the only important matter for the leadership, and meetings were often held to inquire about it. As a secretary, Chen Yongnian naturally became busy as well.
Chen Yongnian thought he was secretly observing Han Lin and analyzing Han Lin as a person.
In fact, he had not seen Han Lin many times. After all, Han Dan rarely returned to her parents' home after marriage.
Although Han Lin used to be a lazy person, he often did not work but wanted to spend money. He was the number one lazy person.
However, Han's father and mother also warned him not to visit Han Dan often and ask for benefits from Han Dan.
Although Han Lin was a gangster, he was clear about one thing.
Since Han Dan got married, his relationship with his family has become cold. He occasionally gets some benefits from Han Dan, and Han Dan might give him some benefits because of their previous friendship.
But if the incident gets to Han Dan's house and Chen Yongnian catches him, the Chen family probably won't be happy about it, and Han Dan will definitely not be in a good mood in the future.
Moreover, although the Han family has always emphasized in the Huangzhuang Brigade that the position at Handan Commune Primary School was obtained through their own ability, they had both ability and luck, so they got such a job.
But Han Lin himself didn't believe it. He thought that the reason why Han Dan was able to become a teacher in the commune primary school so smoothly was that her in-laws must have made great efforts.
Otherwise, there are graduates every year, why is it that Han Dan becomes a teacher while others may not have found a job yet!
So Han Lin has always been worried that if he goes to the Chen family to ask Han Dan for some benefits, over time, the Chen family might think that Han Dan has been subsidizing her parents' home and stop allowing Han Dan to work. This will not benefit Han Lin at all and is not what Han Lin wants to see.
Therefore, even when he went to see Han Dan, Han Lin chose to go to school. Moreover, his family members repeatedly reminded him to do so, and Han Lin was worried that if he went too often, the students would remember him and the news would reach the Chen family. Therefore, he did not go there often. Sometimes he would ask for some money for meals, and sometimes he would just ask Han Dan to treat him to a meal.
Anyway, most of the time it was just for a bite to eat, and I didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Before getting married, Chen Yongnian inquired about the Han family and only knew that Han Lin was useless, lazy, and did not do his job properly, but he was looked after by his family and would not cause any serious trouble.
These specific things happened recently when Han Dan was pregnant and her mood was not as stable as before. She gradually talked about the past, and Chen Yongnian finally understood these things.
In fact, ever since getting married, Chen Yongnian has always been curious why Han Dan doesn't visit her parents' home.
After all, when they were in school, he could see that Han Dan and Han Hui had a good relationship and the affection between the siblings was very deep.
Later, whether he was proposing marriage or on the wedding day, Chen Yongnian could see that Han's father and mother were not the kind of people who favored boys over girls. All the betrothal gifts given by the Chen family were left to Han Dan, and they also tried their best to prepare a dowry for Han Dan so that Han Dan would not feel frustrated when facing her in-laws after marriage.
At that time, Chen's parents secretly praised Han's father and mother for their openness and honesty. They believed that if they became relatives with such people, they would definitely have fewer worries in the future and would be able to get along well.
Unexpectedly, after marriage, Han Dan basically never went to Huangzhuang Brigade except for the New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival when she had to go back to her parents' home.
Moreover, even every time he returned to Huangzhuang Brigade, Han Dan would never stay for long and would always rush home.
Chen Yongnian asked the reason several times, but Han Dan always evaded him.
Seeing that he couldn't get the reason from Han Dan, Chen Yongnian simply went home to ask his parents for advice. The Chen family thought that Han Dan might be under a lot of pressure, so it was not appropriate for her to stay at her parents' home for long.
Another family in the commune had a similar situation. After the son married a country woman, his parents-in-law were very dissatisfied. They were worried that this country daughter-in-law would subsidize her parents' home, so they refused to give her more money for buying groceries every day. Every time the daughter-in-law said she wanted to go back to the countryside to see her parents, her parents-in-law would always find various excuses to prevent her from going. Even if she really went back to her parents' home, she would set a time limit. If she didn't come back on time, her husband's family would no longer recognize her.
This family lived not far from the Chen family, and all the neighbors knew about their situation. Chen's parents were worried that Han Dan felt burdened after hearing the story about their daughter-in-law, so they specifically asked Chen Yongnian and Han Dan to assure them that the Chen family did not have such bad habits.
Even if Han Dan is the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, she is still the daughter of the Han family. She can't just ignore her own family just because she has a husband's family.
After hearing Chen Yongnian's assurance, Han Dan became very excited and had to hold back her tears.
Chen Yongnian originally thought that with the guarantee from her family, Han Dan could return to her parents' home twice more often and not be like an ordinary relative. However, Han Dan did not change at all.
When asked the reason, Han Dan always had various excuses to prevaricate him.
Sometimes he said he was busy with work at school and couldn't get away.
Then she said that if she went back to her parents' home, not only would she not be able to help them, but her family would have to waste time entertaining her. It was not worth it, and it would be better for her to go back less often.
"Han Dan, were your parents-in-law never nice to you before? Are they nice to you now because you can make money and find a good in-law family?" Chen Yongnian observed for a long time and finally couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart. If he didn't ask, he was worried that he would suffocate to death.
Besides, couples need to communicate. If they keep things to themselves, problems will easily arise in their relationship.
Han's father and mother would occasionally come to the commune, and they never came empty-handed. In winter, they would bring homemade pickles, salted eggs, and salted duck eggs. In summer, they would bring all kinds of fresh vegetables, ensuring that everyone would have enough to eat. They were always very friendly and smiling when they came.
Although Han Dan rarely goes back to her parents' home, she is very generous every time she goes home during the Chinese New Year and other holidays. She never hesitates to buy things. She has also discussed with Chen Yongnian that she wants to share the retirement expenses equally with her brothers from her parents' side.
Taking all these factors into consideration, Chen Yongnian had to come to the conclusion that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were not good people at all, but were just pretending to be in front of him. His wife was used to swallowing her anger and did not want to be discovered by him, so she could only reduce the number of times she went back to her parents' home, otherwise all the money in her hands would be extorted.
"What are you thinking!" Han Dan glared at Chen Yongnian after hearing what he said. "My parents are very good to me. They have been treating me well since I was a child."
Han Dan was reluctant to talk about the past with Chen Yongnian. After all, Han Hui had said before they got married that if Chen Yongnian really heard the rumors about the Huangzhuang Brigade, he might not care once or twice, but if it happened too many times, it would definitely be a thorn in his heart.
Therefore, reducing visits to your parents' home is the safest option.
When life becomes truly stable and we have children, it won’t be too late to let Chen Yongnian know about these past events.
By that time, everyone will be older and can treat it as a joke when talking about it, and it won't really affect the family.
After all, when they were in school, because Han Dan and Han Hui were of the same age, Chen Yongnian always thought that they were twins. Han Dan always felt that if she told others about her identity as an adopted daughter, she would be inferior to others. In addition, she really regarded Han's father and mother as her biological parents, so she naturally preferred to tell others that they were twins.
Originally, Han Dan was not planning to talk about these things with Chen Yongnian. She had a long memory and would remember the fact that she was abandoned by her biological parents for the rest of her life.
But seeing that Chen Yongnian's thoughts were getting more and more devious, Han Dan felt that it was unacceptable to keep it a secret any longer. Moreover, from the time they met to the time they got married, Han Dan felt that she knew Chen Yongnian well enough, and she also knew herself.
Plus, I had just found out that I was pregnant, and with the influence of hormones, I was very excited.
Han Dan felt that there was no point in keeping it secret any longer.
Rather than letting Chen Yongnian misunderstand Han’s father and mother, it is better to lay the matter out in the open.
Han Dan felt that he had mustered up enough courage to talk about old times with Chen Yongnian, as if they really needed to talk.
But after listening to her, Chen Yongnian touched Han Dan's hair, pulled her into his arms, and said with a smile, "Is it worth it for you to keep it secret from me?"
"In your heart, am I such a petty person?"
It was at this time that Han Dan realized that Chen Yongnian had known about the thing she had been carefully hiding before they got married.
Not only did Chen Yongnian know, but Chen's parents also knew everything.
The reason why he didn't bring it up after marriage was because he was worried that Han Dan would have a thorn in his heart.
After everything was talked out, Han Dan felt much more relaxed. Since she was pregnant, she wanted to go back to her parents' home for a while.
So I came back after three months.
Chen Yongnian accompanied them back this time and took the initiative to bring up this matter in order to show the Han family that he really didn't mind.
The Han family is Han Dan's maternal family. They raised Han Dan, so they cannot become estranged in the future. Instead, they should visit each other and help each other.
Chen Yongnian originally didn't intend to say this last sentence.
After all, he knew before that the Han family was a family of capable people, but such a bad apple happened to appear.
Han Dan and the Han family did not have close contacts before, so Han Lin could not flatter Han Dan often, let alone appear in front of him.
But once I put this out in the open, given Han Lin's thick skin, he will definitely take advantage of the situation.
The situation of the Chen and Han families is here. Although they say they visit each other and help each other, in fact it is the Chen family that helps the Han family.
Therefore, before coming to the Han family, Chen Yongnian had been thinking about whether to say the last sentence.
Han Dan was pregnant, he was very happy, and he also wanted to make Han Dan happier.
But to be frank, having Han Lin as a burden is like having another burden, so Chen Yongnian has been struggling with this.
Ever since Han Lin came in, Chen Yongnian has been observing Han Lin, and he has also heard a lot about Han Lin's current situation from Han Hui.
Knowing that Han Lin was different from before, he finally said this out loud.
Now that Han Lin has changed, the Han family’s big burden is gone.
Moreover, taking a step back, even if Han Lin still can't stand up, there is Yang Dai to support him from behind.
Although Chen Yongnian has been working in the commune, he also has friends in the county town, and his friends happen to work in the food factory. He has heard about Yang Dai's deeds from his friends and has also read Yang Dai's articles, but he has never studied it carefully before and always thought that they have the same name. Today it has been confirmed.
No matter how you think about it, it’s not a loss.
Han Lin didn't know what was in Chen Yongnian's mind, but at this time he had a higher opinion of Chen Yongnian.
Chen Yongnian was able to completely ignore those rumors and treat Han Dan the same as always. In this respect alone, he had surpassed most men. Han Dan did not choose the wrong person.
The family was chatting happily, and before they knew it, it was time to make dinner.
Han's mother went to the kitchen first. Han Dan wanted to follow but was persuaded by Han's mother.
The eldest sister-in-law Sun Qiaoyun and the second sister-in-law Huang Fengxia naturally followed closely behind, and Yang Dai also stood up. Although she could not help much in the kitchen, she still had to go.
Seeing Yang Dai stand up, Han Lin also stood up and followed behind.
Chen Yongnian didn't understand why and stood up as well, followed by Han Jing and Han Hui. Only Han's father was still sitting there, squinting his eyes and looking very happy.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Yongnian asked as he watched everyone walk out, looking back at Han Dan.
Han Dan was also confused, so he just followed him out.
"What are you doing in the kitchen?" Han Jing watched Han Lin walk into the kitchen. "Our cooking room isn't very big to begin with. There's our mother, your sister-in-law, and your wife here. What are you doing squeezing in now?"
Han Jing took a few steps forward, trying to pull Han Lin back. They were just having a happy conversation, and what could Han Lin do if he went in?
Yang Dai stopped at the kitchen door and looked back at Han Lin.
Han Lin had a smile on his face, easily broke free from Han Jing's hand on his shoulder, and continued walking towards the kitchen.
"I learned a few tricks from the chef of a state-owned restaurant some time ago. The chef said I have some talent. Since everyone is here today, I'd like to show you my skills."
Han Lin walked up to Han's mother with a smile, "Mom, what do you think? Do you trust your son? How about giving me the position of chef today?"
"When did you get to know the chef of a state-owned restaurant?" Han's mother was still holding a bunch of vegetables in her hand, a little undecided.
"I met Hu Ping before. The chef of the state-owned restaurant is Hu Ping's relative."
Seeing that Han's mother was still a little puzzled, Han Lin explained, "I just think that having more skills will give me more opportunities."
"I just wanted to use Hu Ping's connections to make myself known to the chefs. If the state-owned restaurants are hiring in the future, they'll remember me."
"Your son now has a new way to make a living. As his mother, you should be happy!"
Han Lin smiled and arranged the things in the kitchen on his own.
Han's mother didn't say anything. She felt a little happy and a little unhappy in her heart. She subconsciously glanced at Yang Dai.
I am happy that my son is learning skills from the chef. Maybe he will have the opportunity to work in a state-owned restaurant in the future. This is an opportunity that many people cannot ask for.
The reason for being unhappy was that he thought his son had never had such thoughts before, and things were different after he got married.
But seeing that Yang Dai had already walked up to Han Lin and was ready to work together as a couple, Han's mother's slight dissatisfaction instantly disappeared.
My daughter-in-law is a capable person who is going to the capital now. If my son can learn to cook, maybe he can use his cooking skills to keep his daughter-in-law and make her think about home even when she is on a business trip.
If her son can't do anything, she will probably not be able to sleep all day, and she is worried that her daughter-in-law and son will divorce!
After all, Yang Dai is really different from before.
Although his son seems to be much more capable than before, he is still a little inferior to his daughter-in-law.
"Okay, okay, then you be the chef, and we'll help you. Just do whatever you say." Han's mother smiled and handed the apron she had prepared to Han Lin.
He started to ask his daughter-in-law to wash and cut vegetables, and everyone became busy in an instant.
Han Hui and Han Jing didn't expect that the third brother had learned cooking without their knowledge, but they were both looking forward to it. Seeing that the third brother was going to show off his skills tonight, they looked at each other and took action.
One went to chop firewood, and the other learned to cook from the chef. The family also prepared fish and meat. There will definitely be a lot of delicious dishes tonight, and more firewood will definitely be used than before.
The other one went out to get some wine. After finally having a good meal, of course he had to have some wine to go with it.
Chen Yongnian watched his two brothers-in-law leave, then looked at Han Lin who was already wearing an apron, and walked into the kitchen himself.
"I can't do anything else, but I can make a fire. It's a good opportunity for me to follow the third brother and see if I can learn a few tricks. If Han Dan wants to eat something, I can show him something."
As soon as Chen Yongnian finished speaking, Han's mother's face was filled with smiles.
She still felt a little unfair that her son cooked for his wife.
But if the son-in-law cooks for his daughter, he will definitely agree with it wholeheartedly.
"That's perfect. Today we have several dishes that Han Dan likes to eat. You can learn how to cook them. It will be convenient for you to eat them when you want to!" Han's mother's voice became louder.
A son-in-law is half a son. The Han family is very proud to have such a son-in-law who is not only good at home and work, but also loves his daughter!
"Mom, let us honor you today. You have worked hard all your life. Just wait for us tonight and you can take a rest." Han Dan walked over, put his hand on Han's mother's arm, and asked her to leave the kitchen.
Han's mother looked back a little worriedly, but found that everyone had found something they could do, and it didn't seem to matter whether she was there or not, so she followed her daughter's lead and walked out.
"Then let's all take a break. You too are pregnant, so you should be more careful about your body. The kitchen is full of smoke, so don't go in." Han's mother held Han Dan's hand and didn't want Han Dan to leave, but Han Dan persuaded her with a few words.
Everyone is in the kitchen now. If she does nothing because of her pregnancy, she will feel bad about it, and her sister-in-law might also feel a little unfair.
Besides, she went to the hospital for a check-up before going home, and the doctor said that her pregnancy was good and there was no problem.
Han's mother simply pulled Han's father out.
Since her children are so filial, of course she has to show off and let everyone know that her children are the most caring.
The dinner was lively and it was completely dark by the time we finished.
Fortunately, Han Lin brought a flashlight when he came, so this short journey at night was no big deal.
However, Han's mother, perhaps because of the family happiness, felt more touched. Seeing the third child leaving soon after dinner, she always felt sad.
Everyone else lived together, but the third oldest child was sent out.
My heart ached, and I couldn't help but walk a few more steps forward.
These few steps finally gave Han Lin the opportunity to talk to his mother about another matter.
"Everyone in the brigade says Shi Chengui has a strange temper. You want to take my sister to see him, but why don't you go and ask him yourself first? If we all go together, there will be too many people and Shi Chengui will just give up and not see him, and it will be a wasted trip."
"Yes, yes, you are right. I was so happy that I forgot about it. It is indeed as it should be." Han's mother patted Han Lin's shoulder with a look of emotion. Her son has really grown up!
Han's mother felt both sad and happy. After everyone had washed up and lay down on the bed, she still couldn't sleep.
Suddenly, he sat up from the bed and patted Han's father on the shoulder. "You said we shouldn't separate the family. How about letting the third child move back?"
