The next day, Xiaoman called Naonao, Tengteng, and Zuozuo.
On the third day, Nao Nao and Zuo Zuo returned. You You is temporarily unavailable and will be back the day after tomorrow.
After Nao Nao and Zuo Zuo returned, Xiao Man had Nao Nao take Zuo Zuo, You You, and her younger brother to invite people from house to house for dinner the day after tomorrow.
As for my older sister… well… I won’t go into it. It’s a long story of heartbreak.
On the fifth day, Tengteng returned early in the morning. As soon as he got back, he saw his older sister carrying a small baby and wandering around the yard.
Tengteng was taken aback: "Little sister, why didn't you go to school? And whose child are you holding?"
The older sister's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Tengteng: "Brother Tengteng, you're finally back! Brother Tengteng, have you been free lately?"
Yes. Is there something you need?
"Hmm." The older sister recounted how she found Chou Chou. "Mother said that since she fell into my arms, it must be fate between us. So Mother made me her mother. Brother Tengteng, I have to get up three or four times every night these past few days. Brother Tengteng, can you help me find her parents?"
"Okay." Tengteng looked at Chou Chou, who was blowing bubbles. "Did Mom call us back to talk about something?"
"Um."
"Has Mom come back yet?" Xiaoman takes Xiaohei and Hanbin out for exercise every morning.
"No. It's just me and Chou Chou at home now."
"Then I'll go wash up. I only finished working late last night."
"Go."
Many people in the military region knew that Han Bin had been promoted. When Nao Nao and the others went to invite them, they assumed that Han Bin had been promoted and was therefore inviting them to dinner.
When everyone arrived, they discovered that the Han family had invited everyone from the residential area. Everyone felt that Han Bin had become a bit too proud. Although Han Bin was holding the banquet in his own yard and hadn't asked them to bring gifts, the commotion was still a bit too much.
In addition, everyone thought that Han Bin would definitely send the cooks to help because he had hired so many people.
After everyone was seated, Han Bin stood up and said loudly, "I invited everyone here today because I have something special to tell you."
Those familiar with Han Bin said, "You don't need to say anything, everyone knows." Although the group didn't explain why they were being invited to dinner, everyone knew it was because Han Bin had been promoted. Some people didn't know at first, but after arriving and talking to others, they found out.
"Yes. We all know. Old Han, you'd better treat everyone to a good meal today."
"Knowing you're treating, I haven't eaten breakfast this morning. Old Han, hurry up and serve the food."
Han Bin smiled. "Don't rush. My sons are working on it."
When Han Bin mentioned that Nao Nao was cooking, everyone said:
"Old Han, you're too stingy! You can't even hire a chef."
"Exactly. I was hoping to come to your place for a nice meal, but it looks like that's not going to happen."
"Old Han, how could Nao Nao and the others cook for so many people? I'll go to the kitchen and find you a few people."
Han Bin smiled and said, "No need. The food will be ready soon. Now I have something special to tell you all." Afraid of being interrupted again, Han Bin said directly, "I've become a grandfather."
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they realized what was happening.
"JieJie got married?"
"Wait a minute? I saw Jie Jie just two months ago. You don't mean Jie Jie is pregnant when you say 'becoming a grandfather,' do you?"
Why didn't you tell me your child was getting married?
...
After everyone had finished asking their questions, Han Bin loudly declared, "My daughter is not married."
Everyone was stunned. Having a child out of wedlock and celebrating it so openly?!
Taking advantage of everyone's momentary daze, Han Bin finished his sentence in one breath: "My daughter found a child while sketching in the mountains. We felt that he and my daughter were destined to be together, so we let him recognize her as his mother. My daughter is doing a good deed. I don't want my daughter to be misunderstood after doing such a good deed. So, I invited everyone here today to explain, to avoid any misunderstandings. Daughter, bring the child out."
The older sister agreed and came out of the house carrying Chou Chou: "Hello everyone, this is the child I found, his nickname is Chou Chou. From now on, he will be my son."
Everyone stared blankly at the older sister and Chou Chou.
Han Bin coughed twice: "Alright, we've finished talking about business. Nao Nao, Tengteng, lead your brothers to serve everyone the dishes."
Nao Nao, Tengteng, Zuo Zuo, You You, and their younger brother all shouted "Yes!" together.
Now, everyone in the courtyard finally came to their senses.
Seeing that everyone had sobered up, Han Bin continued, "Besides explaining my grandson's origins today, I'd like to ask you all a favor. Our whole family loves this child and wants to keep him with us. But we can't bear to see him separated from his family. I'd like to ask you all to help us find the child's parents. Girl, tell us how you found this child and where you found him. Please be as detailed as possible."
"Okay." The older sister recounted how she found Chou Chou.
Nao Nao, Tengteng, Zuo Zuo, You You, and their younger brother were very quick. The dishes were all served as soon as their older sister finished speaking.
Han Bin first toasted everyone.
Everyone was just stunned by the fact that the older sister had adopted a child. Then, everyone was stunned by the cooking skills of Nao Nao, Tengteng, Zuo Zuo, You You, and their younger brother.
After dinner, everyone chatted with Han Bin and Xiao Man for a while, teased Chou Chou, and then dispersed.
After the guests left, Xiaoman, Hanbin, Naonao, Tengteng, Zuozuo, Youyou, and their younger brother each gave Chou Chou a gift.
On the other side, as soon as Commander Zhang's wife got home, she looked at him and said, "You're saying that child was really picked up from the mountains?"
Commander Zhang sat down on the sofa. "Whether it is true or not, Commander Han called all his sons back today and made such a big show of things to tell everyone that if anyone dares to slander his daughter behind her back, he will not be polite."
Commander Zhang's wife was somewhat dismissive. "Does he really have that ability? He just has a better relationship with the Chen family."
Division Commander Zhang glared at his wife: "What do you know? Commander Han's relationship with the Chen family goes beyond just his own. If you want me to be sent elsewhere, then go ahead and spread rumors."
"I... I was just telling you."
"Do I not know you? I'm warning you, don't you dare talk nonsense outside."
"I see."
Meanwhile, Political Commissar Liu's wife was also discussing Chou Chou's situation with him. "Do you think that child was really found?"
Political Commissar Liu thought for a moment and said, "It should be. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a big fuss about it."
"I don't know what Commander Han and her husband are thinking? If they want to adopt that child, why don't they just register the child under their name? Why do they have to register the child under their daughter's name? Their daughter isn't even married yet."
"Who knows?"
Political Commissar Liu's wife still had one question. "After Commander Han's promotion, will he no longer live here?"
"Um."
"Then why did he explain so much to us?"
"It's precisely because we're moving that we need to make this even clearer."
"Why?"
"Although he's been promoted, he's still in the same system. Many people in the Central Military Commission have worked in our military region. Not to mention us men, we often go to the Central Military Commission on business. Even many of your family members know other family members in the Central Military Commission. Commander Han can't just go to the Central Military Commission and explain to them how he got this grandson, can he?"
Political Commissar Liu's wife understood a little: "The people from the Military Commission will definitely ask us if they see that her daughter has a child before marriage. If we don't know either, then the people on both sides will start making wild guesses."
"Hmm. Rather than letting everyone speculate, it's better to be open and honest."
"yes."
On the other side, after her older sister put away the gifts for Chou Chou, Xiao Man looked at her sister and said, "We'll take care of things here for you. You'll have to handle things at school yourself."
