There were many children, all talking in their own way, and Han Qinqin was no longer as eccentric as before. This year, the Han family's New Year's Eve was much more harmonious and lively than four years ago.
Even the smile on Wen Qiaoyi's face looked much more genuine... Well, it's not that her smile was fake before, but at that time she was worried about Han Qinqin, and it was her first time meeting Su Ruo, so of course her smile was mostly polite.
During the meal, Su Ruo and Wu Mei helped Aunt Cao serve the dishes.
There are two soups, one is coconut stewed chicken soup and the other is turtle soup.
Aunt Cao put the turtle soup on the table and said to Han Qinqin, "Qinqin, remember not to drink this soup, and don't eat this black fungus with vinegar either."
Then he gave some other instructions in bits and pieces.
As an experienced person, Su Ruo immediately realized that Han Qinqin must be pregnant.
She saw Han Qinqin and Aunt Cao agreed to everything, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
I had a great time having the New Year's Eve dinner.
Guoguo also drank a lot of rice wine.
It was Nan Nan. Because she hadn't fully recovered from her illness, she couldn't drink rice wine. But Su Ruo didn't restrict her diet much today. After eating light meals for several days, she still enjoyed her meal very much tonight.
After dinner, the children went outside to set off fireworks.
After Nan Nan pitifully promised to play for an hour and then go back to the house to sleep, Su Ruo wrapped her in a thick coat and let her play with Guo Guo in the yard.
She originally planned to go to the yard to take a look but was stopped by Han Hehuai.
Han Hehuai looked at her with a smile and said, "Mingsheng and Sister Jiang are watching outside, so don't worry. You and Zecheng come to my study. I have something to tell you."
This was the first time Han Hehuai asked Su Ruo to go to his study.
Su Ruo was a little surprised.
When they arrived at the study, Han Hehuai pushed an envelope to her and asked her to open it with a smile. Su Ru was even more surprised.
Could this be a New Year's red envelope?
When she opened the envelope and found that there was actually a letter inside, she was stunned again.
She pulled out the letter, opened it, and saw that it was actually a thank-you letter.
The general content is to thank the leaders of Province S for the sincere invitation. I am very honored and have already scheduled my trip and will return to my hometown in mid-March... The focus is on the signature.
Xia Xiangbo.
Su Ruo was naturally very familiar with this name.
That's her grandfather.
Su Ruo was stunned for a while, then looked up at Han Hehuai.
Han Hehuai saw that she still had some uncertainty in her eyes but was obviously very surprised, and he said gently, "Yes, it was your grandfather. I already know about your grandfather and your past. Xiao Su, the past is over. We should all look forward and contribute to the country to the best of our ability... As the ancients said, every man has his share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a country. Only when we all work together can the country get better and better."
"I know."
Su Ruo smiled.
What happened to her back then was just the work of a villain.
Back then, there were countless people who suffered greater harm and injustice, but once they were vindicated, these people returned to their jobs, cherished their current opportunities even more, worked every minute, and contributed to the best of their ability.
Han Hehuai smiled and said, "Okay. This time our provincial government specially invited your grandfather to return to his hometown. You will help to receive him when the time comes. We will give it to you when we receive the specific itinerary. You can go to the airport to pick him up then."
"Thank you, Dad."
Su Ruo was still a little dazed when she left Han Hehuai's study.
When she knew that her grandparents and second uncle were still alive, she wondered when she would be able to see them again... especially after she read the notes and letters her mother left her... She no longer remembered what her mother looked like, but when she read those notes and letters, she still seemed to see every detail of her life as a child and a girl.
She still wanted to see them.
It seemed that by seeing them, she could piece together more of what her mother was like.
As soon as they walked out of Han Hehuai's study, Han Zecheng held her hand.
She turned and smiled at him, without saying anything else, and they went downstairs.
Wen Qiaoyi and Han Qinqin were talking in the living room.
The scene was warm...Han Qinqin looked like a well-behaved little girl, which was rare.
Han Zecheng nodded at them coldly, then walked out the door and went to the yard.
In the yard, Aunt Jiang and Wu Mei, along with Nan Nan and little Han Jun, stood aside and watched. In front, Shao Mingsheng, along with Guo Guo and Han Hui, set off fireworks. Shao Mingsheng lit the fireworks, and after that, Guo Guo and Han Hui ran to the back...
Su Ruo looked at it and was originally very happy.
But for some reason, the scene of Guoguo and Lin Guitong setting off fireworks together on New Year's Eve four years ago flashed through my mind.
I don’t know if that child still has such a bad temper now.
She sighed in her heart, walked up to Nan Nan and explained a few more things to her, asking Aunt Jiang to take her back to bed in half an hour, and then left with Han Zecheng.
******
Su Ruo was not too curious about Han Qinqin's affairs.
On the contrary, it was because the scene of Guoguo and Lin Guitong setting off fireworks together last night flashed through her mind, and she planned to go back and ask He Zongxi how Lin Yumin and Lin Guitong were doing now... However, she was not curious about Han Qinqin's affairs. She didn't expect that when she went out in the morning, she would run into Shao Mingsheng alone in the living room, and Shao Mingsheng actually talked to her for a few more words.
He told her a few things about their past at the academy, then smiled and said casually, "Isn't it a coincidence? I didn't expect that we would end up being relatives."
After saying that, he added, "If I had known earlier, I would have helped you to criticize Su Jia a few more times."
Su Ruo couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the past, and said, "I didn't expect it."
Even a pig can't think of it... Two people who don't seem to get along...
Shao Mingsheng smiled and said, "Actually, our matchmaker should still be you."
ha?
Su Ruo:...Don't try to pull strings...I won't buy it.
Shao Mingsheng knew from her expression that she didn't believe it.
He smiled and said, "It's true... It was because of that Li Yu back then. She spread rumors about you behind your back. I saw her scolding Li Yu... I thought this girl was really straightforward and cute. Later, when I led the team for the college activities, I paid more attention to her, and then we got together. Alas, it may be that I face too many complicated people every day, and when I met someone with such a straightforward temper, I fell in love with her."
Su Ruo said: "Well, then treat her well, and I wish you happiness."
Shao Mingsheng sighed and said, "I know you don't agree with her, and I'm afraid that big brother doesn't like her very much either. But how can I put it? When she went to the countryside, she was still a little girl, and she was used to being protected by her mother. She didn't have much ability to handle things, nor did she have much ability to know people... In fact, she didn't have much ability to love people."
"You must think I was with her because of my dad, right?... After I was with her, I went to Red Star Farm and pretended to want to order something from the cloth factory there. I met Lin Yumin once. Lin Yumin was a nice person... but he was really not suitable for her. He couldn't handle her with his temper."
She wanted to find someone she could look up to.
At least someone she felt was inferior to her in some aspects.
Lin Yumin has many advantages, but those advantages are not what she values...
There's nothing you can do about it, people are just different and value different things.
He smiled bitterly again and said, "As for Lin Guitong, she is indeed innocent, but how can I put it, Qinqin is just like that... She didn't mean it. We will do our best to treat the child well."
Su Ruo was really surprised.
But it must be said that her understanding of Shao Mingsheng did improve by 10%.
She did think at first that he was with Han Qinqin...a big factor was because of her father-in-law, and even because of Han Zecheng.
But now...even if she still feels that these factors exist, she also believes that this person has put his heart into it...
"Qinqin is lucky to meet you."
That's all she could say.
Shao Mingsheng laughed.
He said, "There are no absolutely good people or absolutely bad people in this world... She is kind by nature. If she meets the right person, she will be a very good person. Don't be prejudiced against her. Sister-in-law, in fact, she still cares about and values you, brother, otherwise she would not have defended you without hesitation."
All right.
Su Ruo didn't quite agree with what he said, but she had to admit that he was really a very smart person.
******
Su Ruo and Han Zecheng took Nan Nan back to Fangyuan Road on the second day of the junior high school.
As usual, Guoguo was kept by his grandfather... Guoguo's position in his grandfather's mind has not been shaken to this day. After several observations, Su Ruo also realized that Han Hehuai clearly wanted to train Guoguo into an all-round elite soldier.
According to Han Zecheng, his father was probably not satisfied with him, so he could only find the sense of accomplishment in training a successor through Guoguo...
Su Ruo let them do whatever they wanted. Guoguo had such a strong sense of self-awareness that she couldn't control it at all.
On the third year of junior high school, Su Ruo took Nan Nan to Yuan's house.
I also met Yuan Chengyang, whom I hadn't seen for more than three years.
He looked much more mature, without the gloomy temperament he used to have. He was more open-minded and steady, but also a lot colder... However, when he saw Nan Nan, there was some surprise in his eyes, and he was very gentle to Nan Nan.
Nan Nan is not someone who is easy to please, but she is actually quite interested in the things he gives her to play with...
Su Ruo was a little surprised.
Shu Yuelan sighed in her heart.
Because those were the things Su Ruo liked when she was a child...Nan Nan's preferences are very similar to her mother's when she was a child.
She looked at Nan Nan who was learning Gobang with her son on the balcony and said, "Nan Nan is such a well-behaved child."
Nan Nan was far away, and Su Ruo was not as cautious in front of Shu Yuelan as she was in front of others. When she heard what she said, she wrinkled her nose and said, "Aunt Shu, have you also been deceived by her? This child looks okay, but in fact, he is full of thorns, very clever, and full of tricks..."
Shu Yuelan laughed and said, "You said that about her. Weren't you exactly the same as you when you were a child... No, this child is better than you."
Be more honest and steady.
After all, she has a very strong family and parents who love her unconditionally, which gives her the confidence to remain calm... This is a sense of security and self-confidence that is engraved in her bones, and it will never be the same as what is cultivated with hard work.
