The He family home was bustling with activity that evening.
It wasn't even this lively during the Lunar New Year.
He Tingchuan, who had been away for several years, returned. He's mother was overjoyed, and everyone in the compound could see it; they could hear her laughter from afar.
When Mr. He heard his wife's laughter, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought something terrible had happened. He had heard on the phone that his son had changed. Now, looking at his youngest son, who was still whole and had no nose or eyes, he didn't see that he had become a man with two noses and three eyes!
He Tingchuan said expressionlessly, "Dad!"
Mr. He glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "Come to the study."
He Tingchuan followed without saying a word.
Knowing that the father and son had something to talk about, Mrs. He didn't disturb them. Instead, she went to the kitchen to check on the dinner. She had personally cooked several of her signature dishes.
As I get older, I'll cook whatever I can.
The youngest son rarely comes home. He complains, but he actually feels sorry for this disobedient person who insists on going to a place thousands of miles away from home.
Even when it comes to choosing a wife, he doesn't like the one she chooses and insists on marrying a country girl. Even if he wants to repay a debt of gratitude, he can't repay it with lifelong happiness. If he marries the wrong wife, he will ruin his whole life.
Even so, he still got what he wanted.
He married a daughter-in-law whom even He's mother had never met.
Because of this, He's mother and father had been in a cold war for more than half a year. If it weren't for the fact that the old man was not feeling well recently, she would have thought that since she was already pregnant, what difference would it make if she got angry? It wouldn't change anything anyway.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings to enjoy!
As soon as He Ximei returned, seeing her mother busy in the kitchen, she immediately rolled up her sleeves to help: "Mom is cooking herself. It looks like we're in for a treat tonight. She's prepared braised pork ribs and braised lion's head meatballs. My little brother is still my mom's favorite."
Mrs. He was so angry at what she was being said that she wanted to hit someone, but she stubbornly denied it: "You like to eat it too, who said I made it for him? I made it for you."
He Ximei saw through it but didn't say anything: "Okay, okay, make it for me. I'll eat a few more pieces later and not give any to my little brother, so he'll be envious."
Mother He glared at her, which made He Ximei laugh out loud: "Mom, you're just biased towards him!"
Mrs. He denied it: "I didn't. You and the eldest son both love to eat it. It wasn't made just for him."
Brother He returned with his wife, along with their son and daughter.
He Ziqian, whose son is a student at a worker-peasant-soldier university, couldn't wait to run home when he learned that his uncle was coming back: "Where's my uncle!"
"Your grandfather is scolding him in the study. Don't go and join in, or you'll get scolded too," Mrs. He reminded him.
He Ziqian was afraid of his grandfather, so naturally he didn't bother him.
As soon as He Tingchuan came out of the room, He Ziqian grabbed him and pulled him away: "Uncle, uncle, Feng Qianqian really was sent to a labor camp. Didn't I call you to ask you to take good care of her? How could she do such a thing? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Don't mention her, it's bad luck." He Tingchuan looked coldly at his nephew in front of him: "Didn't you say before that she was just an ordinary classmate? Why are you so interested in her now? Are you dating her?"
Facing the stern He Tingchuan, He Ziqian dared not hide anything: "We talked, but she suddenly broke up with me in June. I didn't know what happened to her. By the time I found out, she had already used her connections to go to my uncle's place."
I originally thought I'd ask his uncle to take care of me, but who knew this would happen.
"Don't see her again. She's not a good person. She was indeed sentenced to five years of labor reform. If you calculate the time, she's already in the Northwest Labor Reform Zone. Don't get involved with her, lest it harm you," He Tingchuan warned.
He Ziqian sighed, "I never expected her to be this kind of person. Why would she want to harm her aunt?"
He Tingchuan didn't want to talk about it, since it concerned him.
Every time he saw Feng Qianqian, he could see in her eyes that this woman was ambitious and calculating, and her determination to have him disgusted him.
Knowing he already had a wife, she still shamelessly clung to him, even trying to kill her own wife and children in order to marry him.
Thinking about this, He Tingchuan felt that sending her to a labor camp was too lenient on her.
He Ziqian dared not ask any further questions after being looked at by He Tingchuan. Under his stern gaze, He Ziqian assured him, "Uncle, don't worry, I would never covet a convict!"
“If we hadn’t been lovers, I wouldn’t have bothered asking about her!” He Ziqian gloated. “She deserved it. Why did she have to run around in Beijing? Now look what’s happened, she’s been sent to a labor camp.”
"Luckily, many people don't know that I dated her. Uncle, please don't tell anyone, I'm afraid of losing face." Having a former boyfriend who was sent to a labor camp, He Ziqian still had his pride.
He was afraid that others would look at him differently.
He Tingchuan wasn't one to talk too much, so he didn't say anything and went to the living room.
It's all better now. He Tingchuan went to call his father out for dinner, and everyone sat together, chatting and laughing, enjoying themselves immensely.
He Tingchuan's face, which was just as serious as his father's, now seemed a bit more approachable.
Mr. He said, "Now that you're back, stay a few more days and spend more time with your mother. She's most worried about you."
After the truth was revealed, Mrs. He glared at Mr. He and said, "Your youngest daughter-in-law is about to give birth. He has to go back and be with her. She is carrying the He family's child. He can't just abandon her."
"Whether it's a son or a daughter, you can't give her a hard time. Treat her well and let her have a proper postpartum recovery." Thinking that Yun Jin had no mother, Mrs. He suddenly had an idea: "How about I go back with her and take care of her during her postpartum period?"
These words startled the entire He family.
Sister-in-law He was displeased. When she was in confinement after childbirth, she didn't see the old lady taking care of her: "Mom is so old, how can her body handle such a long journey?"
