Chapter 69 Chapter 69 There is a chance
"It's getting late, and everyone is tired today. Let's finish eating early and rest early." Han's father, who was always silent at home, suddenly spoke, his eyes falling on Han's mother.
Han's mother moved her lips, but her eyes were still on Han Lin, hoping that Han Lin would give his own answer.
But Father Han seemed impatient. He stood up and nudged Mother Han, "Go quickly! You can't let the third child cook every day just because he cooks delicious food."
Yang Dai lowered her eyes, pretending to know nothing. She looked down at the stitching on her sleeve, as if she could see a flower.
"I'll cook." Han Lin was still smiling, as if the frown and impatience just now did not exist at all.
"No, no, we can just go. There are so many people, so cooking won't be difficult." Sister-in-law Sun Qiaoyun realized that the atmosphere was not right and quietly touched Huang Fengxia's arm.
The mother-in-law obviously wanted to say something to Han Lin, but the father-in-law didn't want her to say it. At this time, it would not be appropriate for them, as daughters-in-law, to continue staying here.
Sun Qiaoyun took Huang Fengxia's arm and tried to walk out, her eyes passing over her husband Han Jing. She wanted to call Han Jing to go to the kitchen to cook together.
In the past, she would definitely not ask her husband to come into the kitchen to help her cook.
But isn't it different now? She's pregnant with Han Jing's child, so of course Han Jing has to take better care of her.
But before Sun Qiaoyun could say anything, Han's father's voice continued, "Big brother, second brother, and third brother, the three of you come in with me. I have something to tell you."
After saying this, Father Han went back to his room first and sat on the edge of the kang waiting for his three sons to come in.
Han's mother showed an expression of disapproval on her face, but she looked at her son, then at her daughter-in-law, and finally at her daughter. She said nothing and went to the kitchen with a few people.
But even when she got to the kitchen, she was still uneasy.
"I'll go see what your father and the others are talking about." Han's mother put her apron aside and left in a state of anxiety.
There were only four people left in the kitchen, and except for Yang Dai, the other three were pregnant women.
Yang Dai stood in the kitchen, looked left and right, and decided to pick vegetables. She had to do some work.
The four of them simply formed a circle and worked while talking.
Everyone's eyes were dancing. Sun Qiaoyun and Huang Fengxia were curious about what their father-in-law wanted to say when he called his three sons into the room.
Han Dan was more curious about Yang Dai.
Yang Dai's reputation is actually similar to Han Lin's, both of them are well-known members of the team.
But Han Lin is a gay man after all. Although he has a good reputation for being lazy and gluttonous, his family is indeed capable. There are still matchmakers who come to inquire about the situation, but Han Lin is unwilling.
Han Dan once thought that if all else failed, he could find a powerful Yue family for Han Lin in the commune. Then Han Lin would become a son-in-law, and the Yue family would always keep Han Lin under control. Even if they couldn't, Han Lin wouldn't starve to death after his parents passed away.
However, this idea was rejected by Chen Yongnian before he could tell Han's father and mother.
Later, Han Lin met Yang Dai, and the two seemed to get married naturally. Han Dan knew Yang Dai's reputation and had worried about what would happen to these two people in the future.
But after marriage, the two seemed to influence each other, transformed themselves, and became better and better, which was something Han Dan had not expected.
Therefore, Han Dan's attitude towards Yang Dai is very affectionate. If the two had not gotten married, Han Lin might still be the same as before. To be honest, Han Dan would also feel pressured by that Han Lin.
Besides, Han Dan knew what Han's mother wanted to do, and the situation on Han Lin's side was unclear, so Han Dan wanted to find out from Yang Dai first.
To be honest, Han Dan also felt that Han's mother was a little whimsical.
We've already split up, why would we regret it? Few people would want to do that.
Han Dan broke down these principles and explained them to his mother, but his mother would not listen and cried in front of Han Dan.
Han Dan was picked up by Han's mother and brought home. He had a deep affection for her since childhood. Seeing her crying in front of him with such regret and misery, he felt very sad.
Han Dan knew that this was not the right thing to do and that her father was against it, but she still stood on her mother's side.
Then I comforted myself, what if, what if the couple agreed.
Besides, moving back means the whole family can live and eat together, which actually saves the couple a lot of trouble. There is someone to take care of the family and they don’t have to worry about anything.
Han Dan thought about these reasons and seemed to be convinced. Besides, Yang Dai going to the capital was indeed an opportunity for them.
Let Han Lin go home and live for a month where someone can take care of him. Once Han Lin gets used to this kind of life, he will probably continue to live at home even after Yang Dai returns from the capital. Then Han's mother's goal will be achieved.
Han Dan felt that he was asking in a roundabout way, but in fact, to Yang Dai's ears, it was not much different from asking directly.
If Han's mother's words had only made Yang Dai somewhat confused at first, Han Dan's words had now confirmed her.
She wanted to laugh, but held it back.
She believed that Han Lin would not go crazy about such things, so there was no need for her to express her attitude. She just had to listen to Han Lin.
As for Han's mother wanting Han Lin to live at home for the next month? This was Han Lin's business. Even though she and Han Lin were husband and wife, she couldn't make the decision for Han Lin.
After all, Han Lin's legs are not on her body.
"How about we add a loofah soup tonight? Add less salt and it will taste just as good." Sun Qiaoyun's eyes swept over Han Dan and Yang Dai, and her voice suddenly became louder.
"I'm good at loofah soup. I'll make it." Sun Qiaoyun stood up, breaking the circle of four people surrounding her. She looked at Yang Dai again and said, "Would you like to help me beat the eggs, sister-in-law?"
"Okay." Yang Dai also stood up, took the empty bowl and opened the cupboard to look for eggs.
Han Dan looked at the backs of Sun Qiaoyun and Yang Dai without saying anything.
Although Yang Dai did not give a clear answer, sometimes no answer is also a kind of answer.
"I'll go ask Mom how she plans to eat this piece of bacon." Han Dan curled his lips and left the kitchen.
"Just listen to what she says and don't take it to heart." After watching Han Dan leave, Sun Qiaoyun lowered her voice and said to Yang Dai.
She never regarded Han Dan as a proper sister-in-law. Even though Han Dan's in-laws were capable, Sun Qiaoyun didn't care. She just lived her own life and would never ask Han Dan for help with anything.
Yang Dai adhered to the principle of silence to the end. No matter what was said, she would just smile and change the subject, or pretend not to understand everyone's underlying meaning.
But she still found it interesting.
Where there are people, there will be disputes. This sentence is applicable no matter where you are.
When your family is powerful, you will fight to the death for power.
But even if the family has no power and scarce resources, everyone will use their own means for a piece of cake or a piece of meat.
The Han family is no exception, everyone has their own little thoughts.
Fortunately, these did not pose any obstacle to Yang Dai, and she was looking forward to her subsequent journey to the capital.
Xia Ziqing is still in the capital now. If the train is not delayed, the two may have a chance to meet in the capital.
The three sisters-in-law were busy in the kitchen. After a while, Han's mother and Han Dan returned to the kitchen.
Han's mother's eyes were a little red, as if she had suffered a blow.
Yang Dai lowered her eyes, pretending she hadn't noticed anything, and lowered her head to light the fire.
Everyone was ate dinner in a restless mood, and Han's mother remained silent the entire time.
After dinner, Han's father actually asked Han Lin and Yang Dai to go back and have a good rest for the first time. After all, they had a train tomorrow night and needed to get enough rest.
Yang Dai and Han Lin walked out. This time, Han's mother did not make a big fuss to see them off for a long distance. She just stood at the door and quickly returned to the room.
It was my second sister-in-law Huang Fengxia who caught up with us when no one was around.
"I don't have anything special, but I used the cloth you gave me a few days ago to make a small bag for you to put your food coupons and change in when you go out." Huang Fengxia seemed a little embarrassed, and her voice was very low when she said this. "If you can use it, use it. If not, just put it aside. It doesn't take up much space."
After handing the things over, Huang Fengxia left in a hurry without even having time to listen to what Yang Dai said.
When I walked back, my heart was still pounding. I was just delivering something, but it felt like I had done something great. When I went back, I felt dizzy and walked towards home with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Fortunately, Han Hui knew what his wife was going to do and had come to find someone. Seeing Huang Fengxia in such a state, he didn't say much and took his wife's arm and walked home.
Yang Dai squeezed the purse in her hand and looked at Han Lin again.
Han Lin moved the flashlight over, and Yang Dai could see the pattern on the bag clearly.
A simple lotus flower, about to bloom.
Yang Dai held the lotus bud that had not yet fully bloomed and handed it to Han Lin.
"The origin of my second sister-in-law..." Yang Dai said half of her words and swallowed them back.
There was no need to investigate the origins. Just by looking at the bag sent by her second sister-in-law and the embroidery craftsmanship on it, Yang Dai knew that Huang Fengxia's family must have been well off in the past.
According to tradition, all women should master needlework, regardless of whether their family is poor or powerful.
However, needlework of poor women was limited to mending clothes. Their goal was to make the clothes stronger and less likely to unravel.
However, the skill of embroidery is not popular among poor families.
If you want to learn embroidery well, you must start cultivating it from a young age. And because the fabrics and needles are precious, the embroiderer's hands must be maintained every day. It can be said that the embroiderer's hands are the most precious thing in the body.
In addition to the embroiderers, there are also noble ladies like Yang Dai. Noble ladies naturally do not need to learn embroidery to survive. They only need to be able to complete the last few stitches when embroidering wedding dresses, and to add a few patterns to their husbands' clothes after marriage to show their virtue.
But no matter what, if you want to learn embroidery, your family must have sufficient conditions.
Huang Fengxia's hands have long been covered with calluses from day-to-day labor, and some parts of her knuckles are slightly deformed, no longer as delicate as those of an embroiderer.
But this embroidery skill is silently telling Yang Dai about her past.
"What do you think my second sister-in-law wants to do by giving me things at this time?" Yang Dai put the purse away and continued walking towards home in the light of the flashlight.
It’s not that she likes to think too much, but Huang Fengxia looks like she is worried.
If you are just a sister-in-law giving a gift to your brother and sister-in-law, there is no need to do this.
Huang Fengxia might have wanted to make some request by giving this purse, but she didn't say anything, and Yang Dai couldn't see clearly.
Moreover, this matter should not be decided by Huang Fengxia herself. Although her second brother Han Hui may not know everything, he must know something about it, otherwise he would not come to pick her up.
"If you like it, keep it." Han Lin had no interest in pursuing Huang Fengxia's unspeakable secret. He and Yang Dai held hands and walked slowly towards home.
When Yang Dai woke up again, it was already bright outside.
I glanced at the watch next to the pillow. It was almost ten o'clock. Han Lin was not in the room. I didn't know what he was doing.
After getting up, Yang Dai went to wash up by herself. It was not until she was almost done that she realized Han Lin was in the kitchen.
"Are you awake? Come and try it." Han Lin, still wearing gloves, waved at Yang Dai.
"Did you just make this?" Yang Dai said with some doubt. This thing looked like it was invented by Han Lin himself.
Although Han Lin’s cooking skills are pretty good now, most of the recipes are inherited from generation to generation. Yang Dai was a little hesitant to try the new styles after the innovation.
Han Lin laughed again, put down the things in his hand, took off his gloves, and came over to hold Yang Dai's hand.
"I promise, it tastes good."
Yang Dai took a bite carefully, and the salty and fragrant taste spread in her mouth. She opened her eyes wide in surprise.
It tastes really good.
Yang Dai took it and passed it to Han Lin's mouth, "Try it."
"Very good." Han Lin restrained himself, but his eyes were reluctant to leave Yang Dai.
Yang Dai ate breakfast slowly, while Han Lin had already helped Yang Dai pack her things.
This time, only Yang Dai went to the capital alone, and the aviation department arranged someone to pick her up at the station.
According to Han Lin, he wanted to send Yang Dai to the capital.
Although it was a bit difficult to get a letter of introduction to stay in the capital, Han Lin could still do it after sending Yang Dai home.
However, as soon as this proposal was put forward, it was rejected by Yang Dai, who completely disagreed.
Han Lin had no choice but to give up.
But he still agreed with Yang Dai that he would call her on the train as soon as she got off.
Han Lin would stay at the post office that day, waiting for Yang Dai's call.
In the afternoon, the two packed up and went to visit the Han family and the Yang family before leaving.
The elders of both families wanted to see Yang Dai off, but Yang Dai politely declined.
There is no need to mobilize so many troops.
When the two arrived in the county town, it was still early, so they went to the department store to kill time.
"Has the black market reopened?" After coming out of the department store, the two went to a state-owned restaurant to eat.
It seems that there is a collective meeting in the county today, and the state-owned restaurant needs to provide collective meals. When Yang Dai and Han Lin came over, they happened to meet people from various units coming to pick up meals, and people from the state-owned restaurant were coming and going.
Yang Dai also saw a familiar person among them - Qian Ying.
Qian Ying even came over to say hello and said that they would meet when Yang Dai returned from the capital.
But she had something else to do, so she left in a hurry.
Yang Dai looked at the direction Qian Ying left. There were two people guarding the entrance of the alley over there.
Yang Dai subconsciously thought of the black market.
She actually didn't know where the black market in the county was, and had never been there, but she still thought of it subconsciously.
"It's open. Someone has replaced someone behind the black market." Han Lin's voice came, subconsciously lowered.
It was already late, so the two walked towards the train station. Han Lin sent Yang Dai to the platform and waited for the train to arrive.
After seeing Yang Dai off, Han Lin felt a little uninterested. He turned and went to the county transport team.
With the experience of his last trip to the capital, he became familiar with the county's transport team.
Although the transport teams here are basically short-distance transport and will not go to the capital, the necessary connections cannot be broken.
After spending time in the transport team, it was already getting dark when Han Lin returned home. He was not in the mood to go to the Han family, so he went straight back to his own home.
From a distance, I saw a man squatting at the door of his house.
When I got closer, I found out that the man was Zheng Huasheng.
Han Lin invited Zheng Huasheng in. Zheng Huasheng had been in Huangzhuang Brigade for two hours.
Even if I didn't know that Yang Dai had left before I came, I should have known it in two hours.
He didn't say much to Han Lin, but just put the things he brought on the table.
It was a package of pastries, improved according to the recipe Yang Dai had given him before.
Han Lin didn't eat the bag of pastries, but he couldn't help laughing.
When he felt sleepy, someone brought him a pillow. He thought he had found an opportunity to go to the capital to see Yang Dai.
