Han Ze and Hu Xialan returned to their home in Boya Xinyuan just as Liu Mingda and Wang Peining followed them back.
Liu Mingda tugged at Wang Peining's arm, signaling her to apologize to Han Ze.
Wang Peining glanced at Liu Mingda, clutched her handbag tightly, and had a hint of reluctance on her face. She gritted her teeth. For the sake of the wedding house, it was just an apology, and it would not affect anything. She smiled again, took a step forward, walked to Han Ze, and whispered, "Uncle Han, I didn't speak well just now, please don't take it personally. I am young and ignorant. In the future, you and aunt will teach me more, and I will definitely change."
Han Ze lowered his head and said nothing. Hu Xialan tugged at his arm and gave him a look. The children had already apologized, why didn't you quickly find a way out? If you keep acting so pretentiously, are you going to go through with the children's marriage
Han Ze looked up, sighed deeply, and paused his gaze on Liu Mingda and Wang Peining. He said, "Pening, we know you are a good child. Most of your generation are only children. Our family is special because we have more children. I remember that your parents only have you as their daughter, right?"
Wang Peining nodded. Her parents taught in their town and she was their only child.
Han Ze smiled and said, "You are the only daughter of your parents. You must have been spoiled by your parents and grandparents. You just have a bit of a temper. It's harmless. Which young person doesn't have a temper? When I was young, I even fought with people with a stick. It's okay."
Hu Xialan smiled slightly, Liu Mingda and Wang Peining looked at each other and decided to just coax her over.
Han Ze changed the subject and said, "Put yourself in their shoes. When I was young, I didn't like being controlled by my parents. You're already in your twenties, almost thirty. Who wants to be controlled and questioned by their parents all day long? Isn't it annoying?"
Hu Xialan kept smiling. Wang Peining agreed with Uncle Han's words. If her family hadn't urged her to get married, she would have wanted to play with Mingda for two years before getting married. Thinking that after getting married, her parents would urge her to have children, she was almost annoyed.
Han Ze smiled and glanced at Wang Peining, then turned to look at Hu Xialan and said, "Look, Peining agrees with this."
Hu Xialan said in a gentle tone, helpless and amused, "Yes, yes, yes, what you said makes sense, okay?"
"What I said makes sense. This is the experience I have summed up over the years."
Han Ze leaned on the sofa, glanced at the two children, and pointed to the sofa next to him, "Sit down, don't stand. You've been running all morning, you must be tired."
Hu Xialan shook her head helplessly, looking like she couldn't do anything about him.
Liu Mingda held Wang Peining's hand and sat on the sofa.
Hu Xialan stood up and poured water for them and took some fruit. She smiled gently and said, "I bought the big, fresh grapes that Pei Ning likes and the oranges that Mingda likes..."
Han Ze sat next to him and smiled, "Your aunt is very virtuous. She goes to the supermarket early every day. She says that she can buy the freshly-stocked goods and pick out the best fruits and vegetables. If she goes too late, she will only buy what others have left. Eat fruits, eat fruits."
Liu Mingda picked up a red grape and handed it to Wang Peining. Wang Peining took it with a smile and started eating it in small bites.
Hu Xialan sat beside them, peeling oranges with a knife. She looked at the two with a smile. The couple had a good relationship and should have gotten married long ago. She put the peeled orange on a plate, picked up a piece with a toothpick and handed it to Han Ze. Han Ze took it and ate it in two bites. After eating, he threw the toothpick into the trash can and continued, "Xialan, does Brother Zheng in our community know about this?"
Hu Xialan nodded and said with a smile, "I know. I run into Mrs. Zheng every day when I go to the supermarket to buy groceries. Yesterday she complained to me that her son is 33 years old and still doesn't want to date. Mrs. Zheng and her husband are so anxious that their hair has turned white. They are asking the sisters who dance with them in the community to introduce a date to her son. In the past two months, her son has been on more than 20 blind dates."
Wang Peining asked curiously, "You've been on more than 20 blind dates?"
Hu Xialan smiled and nodded, "Not more than 20 times. Almost every other day."
Wang Peining was surprised: "More than 20 times, and still haven't met the right one?"
Hu Xialan shook her head and said with a smile: "Not only has he not met the right one, but Zheng Dasao's son is almost suffering from blind date phobia. He gets scared when blind dates are mentioned. He got angry and moved out to rent a house. He said that he would move back when Zheng Dasao and her husband gave up the idea of letting him go on a blind date. What do you think of this kid..."
Han Ze disagreed and said, "It's not Zheng Ming's fault. Since Zheng Ming is willing to go on a blind date, it means he is not opposed to getting married. The reason he doesn't want to get married is probably because he hasn't met the right person and doesn't want to settle... Brother Zheng and his wife didn't think from the perspective of their child. If they had thought from the perspective of their child, they wouldn't have forced Zheng Ming to go on a blind date. If they forced Zheng Ming to just find a random girl to marry, and he lives an unhappy life in the future, who can they blame? When he finds a girl he likes, he will naturally want to get married."
Wang Peining kept nodding his head. Uncle Han was absolutely right. Parents should put themselves in their children's shoes. If they kept forcing them, what might result is not obedience but resistance and rebellion. He really should let his parents learn from Uncle Han.
Han Ze smiled and said, "Peining agrees with what I said, right
Hu Xialan glared at him in reproach.
Wang Peining agreed, she agreed absolutely.
Han Ze saw Wang Peining nodded, ignored Hu Xialan's rolling eyes, and said, "Let's not talk about those far away. You all know Aunt Jiang downstairs, right?"
Wang Peining said: "I know. Isn't their son married? Their grandson is already in his teens."
Han Ze looked at her, frowned and said, "The problem is that his son is already a teenager, and he has been married for more than ten years. As a man in his forties, the money he earns is not enough to support his son, let alone spend on himself. He also smokes all day long. Guess how much a pack of cigarettes he smokes costs?"
Wang Peining opened his eyes wide: "How much is a pack?"
Han Ze sighed, "Forty-one packs. My children are grown up now, and I don't have much burden. I don't dare to smoke such expensive cigarettes."
Hu Xialan glared at him and said, "No matter how good the cigarettes are, they are harmful to your health. Smoke less."
Han Ze didn't say anything. He had already quit smoking, but he would smoke occasionally when he couldn't help it. But it was true that he envied others who could smoke forty-one packs of cigarettes.
Liu Mingda smiled and asked, "How much does he make per month?"
Han Ze frowned: "He works as a security guard at the Xinhua Bookstore in the city center. His salary is not very high."
Wang Peining clicked his tongue twice, "How dare he smoke such expensive cigarettes?"
Hu Xialan interjected: "The reason why he dares to spend so much money is because Aunt Jiang and her husband are good at making money, and they spend all the money they earn on their son and grandson."
Han Ze disagreed: "Aunt Jiang celebrated her 66th birthday last year. How many more years can they earn money? Haven't you seen Aunt Jiang's daughter-in-law quarreling with Aunt Jiang's son every day? They were still getting a divorce a few days ago. If you are in your twenties and still rely on your parents, that's because you are young and lack the ability. If you are still relying on your parents at the age of 40, even if there is someone to take care of your children at home, your daughter-in-law will feel hopeless."
Hu Xialan and others agreed that a forty-year-old man, even if he cannot make money, should at least learn to save money, as he cannot rely on his parents for his entire life.
Han Ze sighed and said, "The examples of Zheng Ming and Aunt Jiang's son remind us as parents that when children grow up, we should let them go and let them fight and struggle on their own. We should not take care of everything for them, and let them think that they have their parents' support and that there is someone to take care of everything. This will make them develop a lazy and unmotivated character."
Hu Xialan looked at Wang Peining with satisfaction and said, "Fortunately, our Peining and Mingda are both good children, with good jobs and good treatment..."
Han Ze was also very pleased. He looked at the two and said, "Yes, you two were college classmates. You are both 30 years old this year. You both have good jobs and benefits. You will definitely have a good life after marriage. We can rest assured. I am an open-minded parent, and your mother is also very open-minded. In the future, whether you want to get married or buy a house, you can do whatever you want. Don't worry, we will never interfere, and we will not say a word to embarrass you. We will never let the things that happened to the Zheng family and the Jiang family happen to our family."
Wang Peining held Hongti's hand and paused. She looked at Han Ze in disbelief. Han, what did Uncle Han mean? Didn't they just have a pleasant chat? She thought he was no longer angry. Now it seemed that Uncle Han was not angry either. Why didn't he care about them? If he didn't care about them, where would they get the money to buy a house
Liu Mingda's face froze. Dad meant that he would not interfere with his purchase of a house? Would he not interfere mean that he would not pay for his house? And he would not give him a house at home
Hu Xialan pulled the corner of her mouth unnaturally: "The children are still young. If you don't let them be the masters of the family, who will be the masters of the family for them?"
But I couldn't help but feel anxious. Could it be that Lao Han really didn't intend to give Mingda a house, or even pay for him to buy one? How could this be possible
Han Ze smiled and said, "At 30, you are no longer young. It's time for them to learn to be the master of the house. When I was 30, I already had Feiyu and Shutao. Xia Lan, for the sake of the children, you have to learn to let go."
Hu Xialan frowned, and Han Ze said, "Besides, our ideas are different from those of young people. Let them do it themselves. Let's just enjoy our future lives. If we interfere too much, it will only make people hate us."
Liu Mingda thought Han Ze was still angry about what happened in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, so he quickly said, "Dad, Pei Ning is just a little bit temperamental. She doesn't mean any harm. Don't take it personally. I like you to take care of me, and I won't get tired of it."
Han Ze laughed happily and said comfortingly: "You are a sensible child. Although you are not my biological child, you are better than my biological child. You are filial and sensible, better than Feiyu. Your mother and I are counting on you. You like me to take care of you, but I don't care about you. Maybe one day you will get tired of it. Who can I count on then? I will be content if I can be an old man who doesn't annoy my children when I am old."
Wang Peining thought, if she was counting on Mingda, why not give the house to Mingda? However, she dared not say it even if she was beaten to death. Even if Mingda called Han Ze dad, he had called him dad for more than ten years, but he was not his biological father, so he was not legitimate.
Liu Mingda smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, the wedding room I'm going to get married in..."
Han Ze smiled and said, "Just buy it, no need to ask me. You can buy whatever you want, don't worry about not being able to take care of us if you buy it too far away, just make it convenient for you to work."
Hu Xialan smiled and spoke, but her tone was a little stiff: "Old Han, the child wants the money to buy a house..."
Han Ze looked at her strangely: "You should buy a house if you want. You don't have to pay for living expenses. The more expensive houses in Huacheng are more than 20,000 yuan per square meter, and the cheaper ones can be bought for tens of thousands of yuan. How big do you plan to buy? How much is the down payment?"
Wang Peining's smile froze on her face. She said angrily, "No matter how big the house is, it will cost hundreds of thousands for a down payment. Where can I save that much?"
Hu Xialan's eyebrows jumped and she looked at Han Ze nervously.
Han Ze smiled, his face full of pride: "Peining, although he is not a young talent, he is also successful in his career. Don't worry about Mingda. Our Mingda suffered a lot when he was young. He is thrifty and frugal. After graduating from college, he got a good job, lived and ate at home, and didn't need to keep a car. He doesn't smoke, and the taxi company reimburses him for his commuting. He is reluctant to buy clothes on weekdays, but your aunt couldn't bear it and bought them for him. It can be said that the money he earns, except for the personal connections with his friends, is almost useless. He definitely has enough money to buy a house for a down payment. I have never worried about him in this regard. You will definitely enjoy a good life if you marry my son."
Wang Peining frowned. Frugal and economical? Was Uncle Han talking about Mingda? She had been dating Mingda for nearly ten years, so how could she not know that Mingda was like this? She was about to ask for clarification, but Liu Mingda saw that the situation was not right and quickly said, "Dad, since the marriage certificate has not been obtained, Peining and I have things to do in the company, so we will go back to the company first."
Han Ze nodded hurriedly: "Company matters are more important, so you should hurry back to the company."
Watching Wang Peining and Liu Mingda leave, Hu Xialan couldn't help but complain, "Why did you tell Mingda about this in front of Peining? It's so embarrassing for the child."
Han Ze didn't care: "What's the big deal? Our child has a good temper and knows how to live, so we should let the girl know. You see, Pei Ning's parents didn't let them get a marriage certificate when they heard that Mingda didn't have a house? Who are they looking down on? Now let them know that Mingda has money to buy a house, and then see if they are willing to do it."
Hu Xialan felt bitter inside, the key point was that Mingda didn't have the money to buy a house.
The Han family has four houses, all of which were allocated when the old house was demolished. Han Feiyu and Han Shutao are not short of houses. Their deceased mother was an only child. Their grandparents' old house was demolished and they were allocated two houses. After the two old people died, the houses were given to the two of them. Old Han's house was not given to Mingda. He called him dad for so many years, so he should buy him a wedding house, right
But he actually said he didn't care.
The reason made it impossible for her to refute. After all, over the years, she often told Lao Han that Mingda had no house and needed to save money to buy one, and that she could save money by eating and living at home. She just asked Lao Han for money to buy clothes for Mingda, and he readily agreed and supported Mingda in saving money to buy a house.
The reason why she said that was, first, to remind Han Ze that Mingda lived so frugally in order to buy a house, and was reluctant to even buy clothes. If she said too much, Han Ze would definitely be soft-hearted because of his love for Mingda. When Mingda got married and had no money to buy a house, he would naturally think of Mingda since he had so many houses.
Second, ever since she married Han Ze, she often talked about Mingda and Mingkai's childhood hardships and their thriftiness in front of him. Old Han liked Mingda and Mingkai so much because he felt sorry for them. She had to talk about the children's difficulties in front of him frequently so that he would think more about them.
Unexpectedly, in the end, she ended up giving Mingda a dead end. Han Ze thought Mingda had money in his pocket, so how could she have the nerve to ask him for money to buy a house for Mingda
Old Han is not stupid. Once he knows that Mingda has no money, the image of thriftiness that she, Mingda and Mingkai have worked hard to build in front of Old Han for more than ten years will be ruined. Old Han will think that they are deceiving him. From now on, he will no longer believe what she says, and may even divorce her. Mingkai is studying for a master's degree. Without the support of Old Han, how can he go to school? Whether for Mingkai or for herself, she must not let her image collapse in front of Old Han.
Han Ze saw that she had been silent and absent-minded, so he frowned and asked, "Are you worried about them?"
Hu Xialan came back to her senses. She curled her lips listlessly and said, "The child was supposed to get a marriage certificate today. I never thought Pei Ning's parents would disagree. You said they would disagree too. Although you are not Mingda's biological father, you have raised him for more than ten years. What's the difference between you and your biological children?"
Han Ze said indignantly: "They don't want Mingda to recognize him as his biological father, do they?"
Hu Xialan was stunned and spat, "How is it possible? Their father stabbed someone in his hometown and is still in prison. It will take another two years for him to be released. They don't know who Mingda's biological father is."
Han Ze hummed and said, "It's all about the house. Once Mingda buys the house, all the problems will be solved. We don't have to worry about it. Let Mingda go and look at the house this weekend. Once he buys it, just let us know."
Hu Xialan was full of bitterness. Buying a house? Buying it with your face
Han Ze added: "I'll go shopping with you tomorrow morning."
Hu Xialan frowned and looked at him: "Why did you think of buying groceries?"
Han Ze smiled and said, "Didn't we say that we should go see Feiyu and Shutao? I don't know how the two kids are doing."
Even if Hu Xialan was reluctant, since Han Ze took the initiative to propose it, she could not object and could only agree reluctantly, because she was a virtuous stepmother.
The next day, the two went to the supermarket early. Han Ze felt that the meat in the supermarket was not fresh, so he ran to the vegetable market to buy meat. He bought two kilograms of beef specially made into steak. Han Ze thought for a while and said, "Shu Tao often forgets to eat when she is writing manuscripts. Let's buy some pork and leeks, and weigh a few kilograms of dumpling wrappers. Make some dumplings for her and put them in the refrigerator. She can cook dumplings when she is hungry."
Hu Xialan lowered her head and did not let Han Ze see her ugly expression. She smiled and went with him to buy meat, leeks and dumpling wrappers.
After buying these, Han Ze suddenly asked, "Peining likes to eat red grapes, Mingda likes to eat oranges, do you know what Feiyu and Shutao like to eat? Alas, I am really not a good father. It's no wonder that the children resent me because I don't even know what fruits they like to eat."
Hu Xialan's face changed slightly. She didn't know either. After thinking about it, no matter what they bought, the two children would not like it. She said casually: "Peining likes to eat apples, Feiyu likes to eat bananas. How about we buy some apples and bananas?"
Han Ze smiled: "Luckily you are here. Even when their mother was around, she wasn't as attentive as you are. Let's go to the supermarket. The fruits there are better."
The two of them bought some fruits and came out of the supermarket. Hu Xialan felt heartbroken. She spent hundreds of dollars to buy these things for the two kids. She usually wouldn't be willing to spend so much. Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "The prices are too high. Money is not worth spending. These few things cost six or seven hundred yuan..."
Han Ze said nonchalantly, "The children are all grown up, and even Mingkai will graduate from graduate school in two months. We don't have to worry about him after graduation. What are you worried about? It's only a few hundred dollars. Our family can still afford it."
His comfort made Hu Xialan feel worse. It was only a few hundred yuan. If it was for Mingda and Mingkai, she wouldn't care at all. But she couldn't bear to buy things for the two children. Besides, what did they mean that they wouldn't have to worry about Mingkai after he graduated? How could Mingkai not have to worry about his family when he still hadn't found a job
Han Ze smiled and said, "I know you are usually frugal. How about this? You spent a few hundred dollars more today. In the next half month, I will give you less money for buying groceries. I don't care what I eat. You and Mingda are used to being frugal and don't care about food and drink. You can always save these few hundred dollars."
"ah?"
Hu Xialan looked at Han Ze suspiciously. After a while, she found her voice again: "You ate too much. I'm worried that your body can't stand it."
Han Ze waved his hands and said with a smile: "What's so unbearable? It's just that our lives are too good, so we have some strange problems, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids. They are all caused by eating too much greasy food and salt. For our health, it is better to eat light food."
Hu Xialan: “…”
Eat lighter and use less oil and salt, it doesn’t mean the food is bad.
The two took a taxi to the residential area where Han Feiyu and Han Shutao lived, got off the car, carried several large bags of things, and took the elevator upstairs. When they arrived at their door, Han Ze put the key back, and Hu Xialan was delighted. Was he planning to go back again
Han Ze said, "I'll ring the doorbell first to see if Shu Tao is home. This kid sometimes writes articles at the magazine office and sometimes at home. Maybe he's at home."
Hu Xialan restrained her joy and said with a faint smile: "Just ring the doorbell."
At this time, it was already eleven o'clock, and Han Shutao was still at home. She had been working on a manuscript last night and went to bed at around three in the morning. Just as she got up, she heard the doorbell ring. She asked sleepily in the room, "Who is it?"
Han Ze glanced at Hu Xialan happily and said loudly, "It's me. Your dad."
There was no sound in the room for a long time. Han Ze felt a little nervous. Could it be that the kid would not open the door for him
A few minutes later, the door opened. Han Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Shutao stood by the door, looked at her father and Hu Xialan behind him, and said expressionlessly: "I just changed my clothes, what can I do for you?"
Han Ze carried the bag from the ground into the house and said with a smile, "Your Aunt Hu and I haven't visited you for a long time. We came to see you."
Han Shutao glanced at the two of them sarcastically, and crossed his arms: "Look at us? No need."
Han Ze frowned, "How can you talk like that? You and your brother are my children, so I should come to see you. Mingda is getting married soon and is already discussing buying a house. I'm not trying to rush you into getting married, I just want to understand your situation. Are you dating someone? That way I can rest assured."
"Liu Mingda is so lucky to have you as his father. He even bought a wedding house for him."
Han Shutao's expression became even more indifferent. She simply pretended that the two of them didn't exist. She walked to the refrigerator, opened it, poured a glass of milk, and drank it directly.
Han Ze frowned and said, "Why are you drinking cold milk? Is your milk expired?"
Han Shutao rolled his eyes. "I bought the milk yesterday and it's just been opened. If you have the time, why don't you take care of your son Mingda's wedding house? As for me and my brother, you don't have to worry about them."
Han Ze's frown never relaxed. He glanced at Hu Xialan apologetically. Hu Xialan curled her lips and shook her head, saying it was nothing. He smiled with relief, then looked at Han Shutao: "What do you mean by biological son or not? Mingda is my biological son, so what about you and your brother? Little girl, you just talk nonsense."
Han Shutao said without thinking: "I'm not talking nonsense. Mingda is his biological son, and we are his stepchildren. Otherwise, why would he treat us so badly? Don't worry, when our stepchildren get married in the future, they won't ask you to buy a house. As for whether we have a partner or not, you don't have to worry about it."
Han Ze snorted and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm a very open-minded parent and I won't urge you to get married. Even if it's the issue of Mingda's wedding house, I don't have to worry about it. They can buy a house wherever they want. I won't interfere. I give you complete freedom."
Han Shutao curled his lips and said bluntly: "Of course you don't care, you just have to pay the money."
Han Ze smiled and said proudly, "You are wrong. I didn't pay a penny for your brother Mingda to buy a house. He has worked for so many years and saved his salary. It is no problem for him to pay the down payment. You and your brother should learn from Mingda."
Han Shutao looked at Han Ze suddenly, then at Hu Xialan. Seeing her grim expression, she turned back to look at Han Ze and asked in surprise, "Are you telling the truth? Are you really not going to buy a house for Liu Mingda?"
Han Ze looked unhappy: "You can ask your Aunt Hu about this. For so many years, you have always said that I am biased. Now you know why I am biased, right? Mingda has worked hard for so many years and can buy a wedding house by himself. Can you do it?"
Hu Xialan was stiff all over. Bitterness was not enough to describe her feelings at the moment. Normally, she should be happy that Han Ze praised her son. But now she couldn't even cry. She wished that time could go back and she could go back to the past and never pretend to be diligent and thrifty again, which led to her son being betrayed.
Han Shutao touched her chin and looked at her father strangely. She asked again, "Oh, no, you really don't plan to buy a house for Liu Mingda? Why don't I believe it?"
How could she not count whether Liu Mingda had money
Han Ze's face darkened even more. He said angrily, "Who are you suspecting? Your brother Mingda has been frugal and hardworking since he was young. He has such a high salary. After so many years, he has saved hundreds of thousands. What's the problem?"
Han Shutao glanced at Hu Xialan, who looked unhappy, and said in a good mood: "Yes, yes, our brother Mingda has been very capable and frugal since he was young. He will definitely be able to buy a house with his own ability. Silly old man, you are really capable to raise your son so well."
Han Ze said proudly, "That's right." Then his face darkened and he frowned, "What did you call me just now? Silly old man?"
Han Shutao immediately said: "Han, it's Han, not Han. You heard it wrong."
Han Ze said angrily, "I don't care if you're a silly old man or an old man Han. I'm your father, not some old man. You're a grown-up girl in your twenties, and your rebellious period should be over. Don't you even know how to call me dad?"
Han Shutao lowered his head and said nothing.
Hu Xialan pulled Han Ze's arm and said gently, "Speak softly. The child needs to be taught slowly."
Han Shutao curled his lips in disdain. Han Ze slowly calmed down his anger. He looked at Hu Xialan and said in a voice that Han Shutao couldn't hear, "You are right. They are already in their twenties. They are adults and understand everything. We can't treat them the same way as before. The examples of the Jiang and Zheng families are there. We have to talk to them clearly. We can't let them think that we are meddling in their affairs. If we make them annoyed, they will not listen to us anymore."
Hu Xialan: “…”
Han Ze glanced at her and said, "I think she might have just gotten up. Go and cook some noodles for her. I'll have a good talk with her."
Hu Xialan gritted her teeth, glanced at Han Shutao who was stiffening his neck, and went to the kitchen.
Han Shutao choked, and Han Ze looked at her: "Shutao, do you think you did anything wrong?"
Han Shutao simply pretended he didn't exist and turned on the TV to watch some TV.
Han Ze snatched the remote control from her hand, turned off the TV, and said angrily: "I'm your dad, you call me a silly old man, do you think it's reliable?"
Han Shutao rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "You also know that it's unreliable? Have you ever done anything reliable in all these years?"
Han Ze asked back, "What unreliable things have I done? Aren't you and your sister the ones who are against me? Why do you want to move out instead of living at home?"
Han Shutao sneered and crossed his arms: "I don't want to argue with you, it's boring."
Han Ze took a deep breath and asked, "Okay, your Aunt Hu asked me to talk to you, so I will. You two have lived outside for long enough. Why don't you move back home for a while? Look at the life you have been living outside, and look at the dust on the ground. I don't know how long it has been since you cleaned it."
Han Shutao sneered, "If we move back, will you have enough room to live there?"
Han Ze frowned and said, "Why can't we accommodate you? There are so many rooms at home..."
Han Shutao said directly: "It's okay to live with that woman, but I don't want to live with Liu Mingda and his wife. That's nothing!"
Han Ze smiled and said, "I thought it was something else. Mingda and his girlfriend won't live with us after marriage, and I don't agree. Didn't I tell you that they are buying a house?"
"Even if you're buying a house, you can't take possession of it so quickly." Han Shutao was not fooled.
Han Ze said, "We can rent a house. I don't plan to let them live with us. Your brother Mingda's girlfriend has a bit of a temper. I'm afraid she and your Aunt Hu won't get along and they might quarrel."
Han Shutao rolled his eyes: "Are you afraid that Wang Peining will bully that woman?"
Han Ze said helplessly: "Your Aunt Hu has a gentle personality and is easily bullied. I am not worried that Wang Peining will bully her."
Hu Xialan thought about other things, boiled water, and then remembered to ask the girl if there were any noodles. When she came out and heard Han Ze's words, she felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to react.
Han Shutao caught a glimpse of Hu Xialan's passing figure, and suddenly he covered his face and laughed, "Oh my god, her silly old man, what a silly old man." He probably didn't know that Hu Xialan was eager to live with her son and daughter-in-law.
Han Ze was relieved when he saw his daughter smile, "So, don't go against me. Living outside, you won't have good food or clothes. When you come back, I'll ask your Aunt Hu to make delicious food for you every day. How about that?"
Han Shutao raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I agree. My brother listens to me, so I agree on his behalf."
Han Ze asked in surprise: "Really?"
Han Shutao nodded, "Really."
She wants to go back and watch the show.
Hu Xialan came out with a bowl of dumplings. She smiled and said, "I didn't find any noodles in the kitchen, so I made half a bowl of dumpling stuffing and made more than ten dumplings. Shu Tao, just eat whatever you have."
Han Ze smiled and said, "Look how good your Aunt Hu is to you."
Han Shutao is in a good mood now. She believes whatever the silly old man says. She keeps nodding her head while eating dumplings. It's amazing that this woman is very good at making up lies.
Han Ze saw that she was eating happily and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Han Shutao told the truth: "It's delicious."
Han Ze looked at Hu Xialan, meaning, see, I told you that the kids won’t complain about your cooking being bad.
Hu Xialan smiled unnaturally. They didn't mind her cooking, so did she have to cook for them? She wasn't a nanny.
Han Ze saw his daughter eating, so he pulled Hu Xialan aside and whispered, "After lunch, let's help the brother and sister pack their clothes."
Hu Xialan had a bad feeling in her heart, so she asked carefully, "Why are you packing clothes for them?"
Han Ze said happily: "Shu Tao agreed to come home and live with me. She still needs to convince her brother. Are you happy?"
Hu Xialan should force a smile. She was happy, but she was not happy at all.
Han Ze added: "We should prepare better meals these days and try to let them stay at home for a longer period of time..."
Hu Xialan whispered, "Didn't you say that eating too much greasy food is bad for your health?"
Han Ze waved his hand, "They are young and it's okay. Besides, they are not like Mingda, who has been used to suffering since childhood. Even when their mother passed away, they have never suffered with their grandparents. They were all pampered. If our food is bad, they will think we are deliberately abusing them and don't want to live at home, so we should provide better food."
Hu Xialan could no longer laugh. Could it be that her son was used to suffering, so he could have worse food? What was the logic
The author has something to say: When the original body was alive, the biological father was also the stepfather, and the stepfather was the biological father.
