Mrs. Han had fainted twice before. The first time she fainted was because Han Ze believed what the blind man said and believed that he would die without his sons, so she fainted because of him. The second time she fainted was because Han Xilan was looking for a job, but her sons refused to pay for it. Because of this, she was so angry that she lay in bed for half a month.
After their mother fainted twice, the brothers and sisters knew that she was acting, but this time she was really unconscious, which scared her sons and daughters. Han Yang, who worked in the county town, called her and asked her to ask for leave to come back. They drove a tractor and took their mother to the hospital. After the doctor examined her, he said that their mother fainted because she was so angry that she couldn't breathe out her breath in her chest.
The brothers and sisters looked at each other in bewilderment. Mom was so angry that she fainted. Why
Han Xilan glanced at Han Ze with a cold look. Han Hai noticed his younger sister's expression and asked, "Brother, do you know the reason?"
Han Ze said nothing.
The brothers and sisters all looked at Han Ze. Han Xilan snorted coldly and complained, "When Mom was talking to Big Brother, Mom fainted. I don't know what he said to Mom that made Mom so angry."
Han Ze still didn't say anything, looking like he was willing to be beaten and scolded.
That look made the brothers and sisters believe that it was because of him that their mother fainted. Sister Han frowned and looked at Han Ze in reproach, complaining: "Mother is not in good health. You should be more careful when you speak. Don't say whatever you want. You should know what is good and what is bad when you are in your forties."
Second Sister Han was also full of anger and said, "Han Ze, if you can't speak, don't speak, so as not to cause trouble for us."
Han Hai and Han Yang are Han Ze's younger brothers. As younger brothers, they don't teach their older brothers a lesson. They look at Han Ze with very unfriendly eyes.
Han Ze smiled, a sad smile. He looked at his brothers and sisters with lifeless eyes and said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, I am honest. I can't speak, and I can't read people's expressions. I should be dumb. Why should I speak? If I don't speak, I won't make my mother faint. I deserve to die. I shouldn't be a member of this family."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent. The atmosphere was very awkward for a moment.
The eldest and second sisters looked at each other with mixed feelings. They didn't mean any other thing. Their mother fainted, and they were in a hurry and didn't care about anything else, so they said hurtful words. Their eldest brother was filial to their mother and treated his brothers and sisters well, and they were always satisfied...
Han Hai and Han Yang were speechless for a moment. If they were to say who was the most filial among the brothers, it would of course be the eldest brother. No matter who harmed their mother, the eldest brother would not do it. Even if the mother fainted this time because of the eldest brother, he probably didn't do it on purpose. They all blamed him, which was really wrong.
Han Xilan sneered and said, "No one is stopping you from speaking, but don't you understand what to say and what not to say? You're in your thirties, don't tell me you can't even speak."
Han Hai and Han Yang frowned. Was it too much for a younger sister to say this to her older brother
Sister Han couldn't stand it any longer. She was Han Ze's sister, and it was okay for her to teach her brother a lesson. But as a younger sister, Xilan shouldn't have said that to her brother. She looked at Han Ze and asked, "Now that we're talking about it, why did mother faint?"
Han Ze took a deep breath, glanced at his siblings, and said awkwardly, "My mother fainted when she heard that I had a vasectomy."
"What?"
The brothers and sisters simply couldn't believe it. They stared at Han Ze in shock and blankness. Of course, except Han Xilan, she really didn't care whether her eldest brother had a son or not.
Sister Han opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "Oh my God, please tell me, when did you do that surgery without telling me, why did you do that sterilization surgery, do you still want to have a boy?"
Her mother fainted because of this, she could understand it very well.
Han Hai and Han Yang remembered that their eldest brother had said that Han Lao Xia said that their eldest brother would not have a son, and their eldest brother believed it. Thinking of this, the expressions on their faces were very strange. The two brothers looked at each other. Now it seems that their eldest brother not only believed Han Lao Xia's words, but he had gone crazy and even regarded Han Lao Xia's words as an imperial decree. He obediently went to get sterilized and gave up having another son.
Han Ze frowned and said, "Big sister, didn't you hear from mother that old Han told me that I would not have a son? If I don't have a son, why should I give birth to a son?"
The eldest and second sisters Han looked at Han Ze in disbelief.
Han Hai and Han Yang coughed unnaturally.
A hint of guilt flashed across Han Xilan's eyes.
Sister Han asked, "Mr. Han said you don't have a son, so you don't have a son?"
Han Ze's eyes fell on Han Yang, and he saw that he was stiff. He then moved his eyes to Han Xilan and said slowly, "Mom once asked Old Blind Han to tell the fortunes of my younger sister and third brother, and everything he predicted came true, so I believe him."
All the brothers and sisters of the Han family knew that Old Blind Han had been fortune-telling for Han Xilan and Han Yang. The eldest and second sisters Han were girls and were very thoughtful. Usually, their mother would obey their younger sisters and brothers in everything. They were puzzled by the truth and falsehood of the fortune-telling but did not take it to heart. They were married and could not intervene in their natal family affairs. Now, because of the fortune-telling by Old Blind Han, their eldest brother had a sterilization and did not even want to have a son. They realized the seriousness of the matter.
Sister Han blurted out: "Do you believe that?"
Han Ze said in a naive tone: "Why don't you believe what mom said?"
Why don't you believe what your mother said? Sister Han glared at him and said, "I just don't believe it."
Han Xilan's eyes shrank, her cheeks turned pale, and she subconsciously begged, "Big sister..."
"Shut up." Sister Han glared at her fiercely, then turned to look at Han Yang, "Han Yang, tell me, what's going on?"
Han Yang lowered his head and smiled bitterly. He should not continue to deceive about this matter. If he continued to deceive, he was afraid that his elder brother would do something unexpected. He knew that he was selfish, but he also cared about his elder brother who was devoted to the family. After all, he was his biological brother. He caused his elder brother to lose his son, and he already felt guilty about him. He could not let him believe what the old blind Han said anymore.
Han Ze looked at the people with different expressions and asked blankly, "What's going on?"
Han Yang explained with a wry smile: "Brother, Han Lao Xia's fortune-telling was a lie from beginning to end. In order for me to get a job and for my younger sister to go to school, I asked my mother to work with Han Lao Xia to make up lies based on our ideas."
"What?" Han Hai screamed, but he was not as angry as he looked. After all, his wife often told him about this, and he actually believed it. Now he just confirmed it.
Han Xilan clenched her fists tightly and stared at Han Yang gloomily.
Han Yang noticed her gaze and shrugged. His elder brother was honest and simple, and he didn't feel anything when he bullied him and took advantage of his family in the past. However, he felt guilty because his elder brother had a sterilization and had no chance to have a son.
Han Ze's face was dull, and he murmured, "I don't believe it. Mother wouldn't lie to me. Mother said she loves me the most..."
Han Yang was helpless. His eldest brother was his mother's son, so of course his mother loved him, but she loved Xilan the most.
Sister Han stepped forward and patted Han Ze on the shoulder, sighing: "No matter what, since you know that what Old Han said is a lie, don't believe him anymore in the future."
Han Ze's eyes were moist and a tear flowed out. He wiped his face with the back of his hand and looked at Sister Han with a choked voice, "I don't believe that mother lied to me, but mother fainted because of me this time. In order not to make mother faint again, I'd better stay away from her in the future. I have something else to do. I'd like to trouble the elder and second sisters to take good care of mother. If you don't have enough money, tell me and I'll ask Hongmei to send it over."
After saying that, he walked out with big strides without looking at anyone.
It is not known whether Han Ze believed Han Yang's words or was afraid of making Grandma Han faint again. During the time when Grandma Han was in the hospital, and even for a long time afterwards, he did not appear in front of Grandma Han. He just cooked the noodles that Grandma Han liked every day and asked his eldest and second sisters to bring them to her.
After Han Pozi recovered from her illness and was discharged from the hospital, Han Xilan had an argument with her second brother's wife for some unknown reason. The second brother's wife wanted to kick her out in anger and refused to let her live at home. Han Pozi had no choice but to ask Han Ze to solve the problem.
Han Ze refused with a smile: "Mother faints when she sees me, I'd better not get close to her. Besides, Xilan is a college student, educated, well-educated, and knows how to deal with people. I am not like me who is over 30 years old and can't speak. How can I help her solve the problem? I believe that with your intelligence, you will definitely get along well with my second brother and his wife."
Mrs. Han was filled with sadness and did not argue any further. The eldest daughter told her that her eldest son already knew about her collusion with Old Man Han to deceive people. Even though her eldest son was still filial to her, she did not dare to ask him to give his all for his brothers and sisters.
Han Xilan was kicked out of the house by her second sister-in-law, but she was not too worried. She thought without any fear that if her second sister-in-law did not take her in, she could ask her eldest brother to take her in. When she saw her mother coming back from her eldest brother's house alone, but did not see her eldest brother, she could not help but ask, "Where is my eldest brother? Why didn't he come?"
Mrs. Han looked at the little girl and said slowly, "Your eldest brother said that you are well educated and know how to deal with people. You will definitely be able to handle the relationship with your second sister-in-law. He is a person in his thirties who can't speak, so he won't get involved in your affairs."
After saying that, she sighed. The little girl offended the eldest and the second oldest. It seemed that there was something wrong with her temper. Since there was a problem, she had to change it. It was time for her to learn a lesson. Don't think that you are great just because you are a college student. Don't look down on everyone and offend your brothers and sisters. In the end, no one wants to take care of her.
Han Xilan's face turned pale and her body trembled slightly. She felt panic for the first time. Since her eldest brother didn't care about her, who else could she rely on among her three brothers
... ...
Han Ze once again let the Han family see his stubborn temper. No matter who Han Xilan asked to plead for mercy, he always said the same thing: he was uneducated and couldn't speak. Han Xilan was a college student, and he had no way to solve the problem that even a college student couldn't solve.
None of her brothers wanted to take care of her, and even though Han Xilan was a college student, she was helpless and had no choice but to borrow money from her classmates to rent a house.
Han Ze still ignored him and focused on setting up his stall. After closing the stall, he went around the town to ask which storefronts were for sale or for rent. After running around for several days, he found nothing. He felt deeply saddened that it was difficult to find a storefront and it was so difficult for ordinary people to do anything. Thinking of this, he lost interest in selling noodles and planned to close the stall after selling thirty bowls of noodles.
The female owner of the clothing store handed over the business to the man and was about to come over to eat noodles as usual, but she found that Chef Han had already started to pack up his stall. She panicked and asked hurriedly, "Have you sold out Chef Han's noodles?"
Han Ze was unhappy and sighed: "Sorry, I won't sell it today. You can come and eat it next time when there is a market."
It has become the female boss's habit to eat a bowl of noodles made by the Korean chef every time there is a market. When he said he would not sell any more, the female boss was very disappointed and asked immediately, "Why not? It's still early. You haven't sold 60 bowls yet?"
Regular customers of the noodle stall all knew Chef Han’s rules. She thought that if she came according to the order, she would definitely be able to eat noodles, but she didn’t expect that Chef Han would not sell them.
Han Ze smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Nothing. Come earlier next time. We may only sell 30 bowls of noodles that day."
The female boss was extremely anxious when she heard this. Sixty bowls of noodles were not enough for the diners. Thirty bowls of noodles would be very hard for the diners to share. She thought for a while and asked, "Chef Han, are you in trouble? Or are others jealous of you because they see that you are making money, and are threatening you not to sell so many bowls of noodles?"
Han Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly waved his hands and said, "No one is threatening me. It's not that serious."
Not that serious
The female boss paused. Chef Han said it was not that serious. She thought he must have encountered some difficulties. She said, "Chef Han, just tell me. One person can help you solve your problems. So many customers can help you solve your problems. So you can sell your noodles the same way as before."
Han Ze said awkwardly: "How can I trouble you with my affairs?"
The female boss kept waving her hands: "No trouble, no trouble."
Han Ze touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "You all like the noodles I make. It's not a good idea to set up a stall like this for a long time. I planned to find a storefront and open a noodle shop so that I can open it every day. Who knew that there was a shortage of stores in our town? I searched for a few days but couldn't find one."
The female boss suddenly realized, and then was pleasantly surprised. Chef Han was going to open a noodle shop, so they could eat noodles every day. She laughed and said, "It's just a small problem. I'll tell other diners and ask them to help look for it. It will be solved for you in less than two days."
Han Ze hesitated: "This, this is not good, right?"
The female boss said briskly: "There's nothing wrong with that. As long as you open a noodle shop, you can open it every day."
Han Ze smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely be able to open every day."
When the diners knew that Chef Han didn't want to sell noodles anymore in order to find a storefront, they actively mobilized their connections to help him find a suitable storefront for a noodle shop. There is strength in numbers, and when the market opened again, Han Ze bought a storefront that suited his taste with the help of the diners.
Han Ze was very grateful, but the diners said, "Don't be grateful. Chef Han, please open a noodle shop as soon as possible so that we don't have to think about that bowl of noodles every day. It would be better if you could prepare a few more kinds of food, which would be a sincere thank you to us."
In order to thank the diners for their help, Han Ze spent a week to decorate the noodle shop, complete the formalities, and prepare for business.
He took into consideration that Wu Hongmei had to take care of the children and could only help collect money but could not provide him with other help. Since he was busy alone, Han Ze only planned to increase the number of dumplings. Making dumplings was time-consuming, so he bought a refrigerator and placed it in the restaurant. He packed the dumplings to be sold the next day in advance and put them in the refrigerator. When the customers wanted to eat dumplings, he could just cook them for them.
Now that he has opened the restaurant, Han Ze plans to open it at noon as well. He will sell sixty bowls of noodles and sixty bowls of dumplings every morning, and sixty bowls of noodles and sixty bowls of dumplings at noon as well. Both noodles and dumplings will cost ten yuan a bowl. This way he can make money without being too tired.
Although Wu Hongmei felt that it was a bit strange for her husband to open a restaurant, she didn't say anything as he could make money. She supported him no matter what.
The diners knew Han Ze's temper quite well, and they had no expectation that he would add other types of food. Unexpectedly, when the restaurant opened, he actually added dumplings and even opened at noon, which surprised them.
Wu Hongmei was worried that they wouldn't be able to sell all the dumplings after adding sixty more bowls. Looking at her husband's calm face, she said nothing. Unexpectedly, all sixty bowls of noodles and dumplings were sold out before ten o'clock. She breathed a sigh of relief and cursed herself for being useless and not as calm as her husband.
The restaurant was open every day. Han Ze didn't want to go back and forth between his family and town, so he rented a small courtyard near the restaurant and moved his family of seven into the courtyard. Han Yao was in junior high school in town, which was very convenient. The second and third girls were in elementary school in Hanjia Village, which was a bit far away. It was very troublesome to ride a bicycle to take them to school in Hanjia Village every morning. Han Ze thought about it and decided to transfer them to town to study.
Han Ze was not very clear about the children's transfer of schools. He went to several primary schools, and all of them said that they would not accept transfer students from the village. He was very helpless. The second girl was in the third grade this year, and the third girl was only in the first grade. It would take several years for them to graduate from primary school. Was he going to send them to school like this for the next few years
Thinking of this, he lost all desire to sell noodles and wrote a notice and posted it on the wall, saying that the restaurant would be closed at noon for the foreseeable future.
In the morning, when the noodle shop just opened, diners came in one after another. When they saw the notice on the wall, they were immediately annoyed. They came to eat a bowl of noodles or dumplings every day at noon. Their lives were so comfortable. Chef Han actually said that they would not be open at noon for a period of time. Isn't this asking for their death? No, absolutely not.
The female owner of the clothing store thought about the last time when Chef Han couldn't find a storefront, so he was so focused on finding one that he didn't want to sell noodles. Now, Chef Han suddenly said that he would be closed at noon. Could it be that he encountered some difficulties again
The female boss said anxiously: "Chef Han, why are you closed for lunch? If you have any difficulties, just tell us. We should open when we need to, and don't delay making money." Don't delay their meals either.
Han Ze sighed. After the last incident, he and the female boss had already become familiar with each other. He did not hide anything and spoke the truth: "It is not easy for ordinary people to live. I want to transfer my children to the town. I went to several nearby primary schools, but no one was willing to accept students from the village."
The female boss didn't take it seriously. It was just transferring the children to another school. In her opinion, it was a small matter. What's more, Han Chu's diners came from all walks of life. Among the diners, there were several elementary school teachers and even the principal of the town's first elementary school.
The female boss casually mentioned this to them, and a teacher volunteered to help. In order for the child to have a good school, there was no reason for Han Ze to refuse. In order to thank him for his help, he cooked a dish of fried duck with ginger for him. The teacher ate it with his mouth full of oil, and before leaving, he took Han Ze's hand and said that he would definitely ask him for help in the future.
The children's transfer procedures were completed, and Han Ze was ready to sell noodles again. The diners breathed a sigh of relief and prayed quietly that nothing else would happen at Chef Han's home, so that he would not be distracted from selling noodles.
The restaurant was closed at night. Han Ze thought that the children had just transferred to the town to study and might not be used to it, so he planned to pick them up from school. When he arrived at the school gate, it was just time to get out of school. He stood at the gate waiting. A few minutes later, the second and third girls came out of the school hand in hand. When they saw Han Ze, their eyes lit up, and they ran out quickly with their schoolbags on their backs, calling "Dad" as they ran.
Han Ze took the schoolbags from their hands and asked with a smile, "Are you used to it?"
The two little girls nodded in unison. Han Min smiled, her face full of pride. "After class, our Chinese teacher told me that she likes the noodles my dad makes."
Han Ze raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
Han Min nodded heavily, looked at her father with admiration, and said, "Even our teacher likes the noodles made by Dad. Is that right, Third Sister? Hey, Third Sister, what are you looking at?"
Han Jin stared at the red schoolbag in the stationery store in front of him, with longing in his eyes.
Han Ze glanced at the patched schoolbag in his hand, and his heart moved. He stepped forward and took San Yatou's hand, smiling and said, "It's time to change your schoolbags. Let's go and choose a beautiful new schoolbag as a reward for your transfer to another school. How about it?"
Han Jin's eyes lit up and he asked loudly, "Really, Dad?"
"Of course it's true." Han Ze said as he walked into the stationery store first, turned around and looked at the two girls and said, "You can choose whatever kind of schoolbag you like."
As soon as Han Ze finished speaking, Han Jin ran to the red schoolbag she had just looked at, pointed at it and said, "Dad, I like this schoolbag."
After she finished speaking, she saw that her father just smiled at her without saying anything, so she asked cautiously: "Dad, can I buy it?"
Han Ze nodded. Seeing that her sisters had chosen schoolbags, Han Min knew that her father had not lied to them, so she excitedly stepped forward and also chose a red schoolbag with a different pattern.
Han Ze saw that the two sisters had finished choosing, and thought that the eldest girl's schoolbag was also old, so he asked the two younger sisters to help their elder sister choose a schoolbag. The two younger sisters discussed for a long time and worked together to pick a blue schoolbag for their elder sister.
Han Yao came back from school and received a schoolbag given by her father. She touched the bag and felt its texture, feeling mixed emotions. When she first went to school, her mother sewed a schoolbag for her out of old canvas. She carried it for five years and is still carrying it now. She didn't expect that her father would give her a new schoolbag.
Han Ze looked at her expression and thought that she didn't like the style of the schoolbag, so he said, "You can exchange it tomorrow. You can choose whatever you like."
Han Yao shook her head and said with a smile: "This schoolbag is very nice, I like it."
Han Ze found out that several children didn't have pencil cases, so he gave some money to Han Yao and asked her to buy three pencil cases, one for each child.
The second and third girls were very excited when they heard this. Their father not only bought them schoolbags, but also pencil cases. Their father was so nice.
