Chapter 24

Views:

The moment he saw He Lianqing, Han Yang's mind went blank. Someone who should be far away suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, just like a dream.

"Why don't you come and hug me?" He Lianqing's voice came from the mobile phone attached to his ear, lowly, with a sultry heat in the winter night, breaking through the eardrums and reaching the bottom of his heart.

Before Han Yang regained his senses, his body reacted one step faster than his reason. He strode over, opened the door of the yard, and slammed into He Lianqing's arms.

He Lianqing's body was cold, but Han Yang just felt the warmth, which came from He Lianqing's unique temperature.

He hugged He Lianqing's waist tightly, buried his face in his chest, took a deep breath, and his eyes were hot.

He Lianqing put her palm on the back of his head and slowly stroked it twice. At the moment when the young man threw himself into his arms, the thoughts of these days seemed to have finally found a place to stay.

"Xiao Yang." The grandfather's shout from the room woke them up, Han Yang let go of He Lianqing and turned around to answer, pulling He Lianqing in.

Grandpa went to the kitchen to get sweet potatoes. He didn't see Han Yang when he came back and thought he had gone somewhere. He didn't expect him to bring someone back suddenly, and he was stunned and asked, "This is..."

"Grandpa, he is He Lianqing." Han Yang said, pulling the hem of La He Lianqing's scarf and saying to him, "This is my grandfather."

"Hello, old man." He Lianqing bowed slightly and called out respectfully.

When grandpa heard the name and realized it was his grandson-in-law, he was taken aback by his respectful attitude and waved his hand quickly: "Hello, hello, no need to bow, come and sit down first."

Han Yang pulled He Lianqing to sit beside the brazier and said, "Get warm, your hands are freezing."

Being so distressed by Han Yang, in normal times, He Lianqing would definitely be rude, but in front of Han Yang's grandfather, he didn't want to be too presumptuous, he just nodded and put his hands beside the brazier to cook the fire.

"Why did you come here all of a sudden?" Han Yang asked him, wanting to reach out to help him rub his fingers, but he could only bear it because his grandfather was on the side.

"Come and have a look when you pass by." He Lianqing said, the charcoal fire dissipated the cold air from his body, which made his brows stretch a little.

"..." Han Yang glanced at him speechlessly, where is he going to pass by their door.

He Lianqing didn't see his gaze, and said to her grandfather, "I take the liberty to disturb me, and I ask the old man to forgive me."

"You're welcome, you're a guest when you come." Grandpa said, "Have you eaten?"

"Eat." He Lianqing said, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound in his stomach.

grandfather:"… "

Han Yang: "…"

Han Yang couldn't hold back, turned his head to the side and laughed, He Lianqing kept her face sullen and didn't speak, secretly embarrassed.

"Have you eaten yet? There are still a lot of dishes today. I'll go and warm them up for you." Grandpa stood up as he spoke, and He Lianqing hurriedly followed and said, "No need, you..."

"I'll go, Grandpa, you can watch TV by yourself, and I'll get him something to eat." After Han Yang finished speaking, he said to He Lianqing, "Come and help me."

"Alright, let's go." Grandpa waved and sat back to watch TV.

Han Yang took He Lianqing to the kitchen. Before leaving, He Lianqing felt that his grandfather's eyes had been following him, which made him straighten his back.

When they got to the kitchen, He Lianqing immediately pulled Han Yang into her arms, bowed her head and kissed him fiercely.

These days apart, Han Yang also missed him very much, and responded by wrapping his arms around his back.

Although the two of them were reluctant to part, the time was not right now. Grandpa was still outside in the living room, so he could only taste and quench his thirst before stopping.

Han Yang touched Helianqing's tired eyebrows, feeling a little distressed.

He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said, "Take care of my stomach first and then feel bad."

Han Yang remembered the sound of his stomach just now, laughed, made him sit aside, and started to help him warm up the dishes.

Han Yang warmed up two dishes for He Lianqing, made him a simple egg drop soup, and brought the dishes to the dining table in the living room for him to eat.

After eating, He Lianqing naturally stayed at Han Yang's house. Grandpa went to bed early, chatted with them for a while, and then went to bed, leaving the two of them to cook in the living room.

Han Yang leaned on He Lianqing's shoulder, put his fingers against his palm, and slowly traced the lines on his palm, while he said, "Why didn't you come here and tell me? You're all done with work. ?"

"I'm done." He Lianqing folded her palms, clasped his fingers in her palms, and asked in a low voice, "You're not happy to see me?"

"Happy." Han Yang looked up at him with a smile in his eyes, "I'm so happy I don't know what to do."

"Happy to be so low-key?" He Lianqing tilted her cheek and hummed meaningfully.

Han Yang leaned in and kissed him clearly, and whispered, "Are you happy?"

He Lianqing nodded reluctantly and pinched the back of his neck.

Although He Lianqing came in a hurry, she also prepared two sets of clothes in advance to bring over. It was obvious that she was coming to spend the night. Han Yang took him to take a shower and the two went back to the room.

As the saying goes, a small one is better than a newlywed, and when you lie down, you can't avoid kissing, but they didn't make it to the end because grandpa was next door.

Han Yang lay on He Lianqing's chest and panted, listening to the heartbeat coming from his chest, feeling extremely satisfied.

It's probably the happiest thing to have your loved ones and loved ones by your side.

"He Lianqing." Han Yang called to him.

"Yeah." He Lianqing touched his back through his pajamas.

"I told Grandpa about our affairs," Han Yang said.

He Lianqing's hand paused, a little surprised: "When?"

"The day I came back." Han Yang recounted what happened to his parents.

He Lianqing's face turned slightly cold after hearing this, "I see."

Han Yang heard the displeasure in his voice, raised his hand to touch his chin, and said, "It's all right, you don't need to worry about it."

He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said dissatisfiedly, "Are you scratching the cat?"

"No no no." Han Yang shook his head, "If you were a cat, I would be miserable."

Cats eat fish and dogs eat meat.

He Lianqing understood what he meant, slipped her palms down, stopped on his waist and kneaded gently, saying, "It's not a cat, you're not much better."

"..." Han Yang glared at him, turned over and lay beside him and asked him, "Did you tell Aunt Su and the others about your visit? Wouldn't it be bad for the Chinese New Year?"

"Are you unhappy?" Helianqing asked.

"Happy is happy..."

"Then what are you talking about?" He Lianqing sneered and turned to look at him, "Is it okay for me to come to my wife's family?"

Mother's family or something... What a shame. Han Yang thought to himself, but he couldn't hold back the sweetness in his heart. He hugged He Lianqing's waist, rubbed his ear, and said, "Go to bed, you're tired after a long day."

"Yeah." He Lianqing responded, pulling the quilt and pressing it on his chin. He was really tired, and he worked overtime for several days in a row just to make time for Han Yang. After the meeting this afternoon, he immediately went to the airport, got off the plane, changed to a car and drove all the way over. He was extremely tired.

Probably because of the change of place, He Lianqing didn't sleep very well, and woke up before dawn the next day.

He got out of bed lightly, helped Han Yang tuck the quilt and put on his clothes, and left the room. As soon as he went out, he saw his grandfather coming out of the kitchen with a hot brazier, and he hurried over to help.

The old man had less sleep, so he got up early. Grandpa got up early in the morning to set the charcoal fire. He avoided He Lianqing's hand, brought the brazier to the place where the fire was usually cooked in the living room, and said, "I'll do it myself, don't let the ash get your hands dirty."

"Is there anything I need to do?" He Lianqing asked from the side, always feeling that what he had to do would be at ease.

"No, no, you can sit and cook, and I'll pick some vegetables in the back." Grandpa said, washed his hands, and went to the kitchen to get a basket of vegetables to go out. He Lianqing followed.

When Grandpa saw that he was going, he stopped and looked at the woolen sweater on him, which was very expensive at first glance, and said, "It's cold outside, you can go back and put on a coat, don't wear the one from last night, it's easy to get in the field. dirty."

He Lianqing came over with only one coat on, and said, "It's alright, go back and wash again."

"That's not good, your clothes are dirty and hard to wash." Grandpa thought for a while, put the vegetable basket in his hand and said, "I'll go get you one" before entering the house.

Before He Lianqing understood the meaning of the phrase "take one", grandfather came out of the house, took a flower-green cotton-padded jacket in his hand, handed it to He Lianqing and said, "Wear this, it will be resistant to dirt. ."

He Lianqing: "..."

The padded jacket was worn by grandfather when he was cooking at home. In order to wear more clothes inside, the jacket was quite large. Although He Lianqing wore it a little shorter, it still fit well. But this green suit made him unlovable. Grandpa also wanted to find him a pair of Jiefang shoes, but he firmly refused.

On the way to Caiyuanzi, I met a few neighbors. I was curious about He Lianqing's unfamiliar face, so I pulled my grandfather and asked a few questions. Grandpa happily said that he was Han Yang's friend and came to play at home.

He Lianqing was wearing a cotton padded jacket, holding a vegetable basket and stood by with a blank expression, pumping the salted fish lying on the bed several times in her heart.

Grandpa usually has nothing to do at home, except playing chess, growing vegetables and looking for children to play. He takes care of the small vegetable garden at home very well.

He Lianqing stepped on the soft soil, rolled up her trousers and asked, "What do you want to pick?"

Grandpa pointed to the radish and cabbage and took him there. He Lianqing bent down and grabbed the root of the radish seedling with his hands and pulled it out, breaking a small half of its tail.

He Lianqing: "..."

grandfather:"… "

"Young man, you can't do this!" Grandpa looked aside and shook his head, walked over and taught him: "Pick off a little soil around the radish, shake it a few times and then pull it out."

Qinggege, who was told no by her grandfather, stared at the disabled radish in her hand, and had the urge to plant it back.

"Come on, try again." Grandpa put an intact radish into the vegetable basket.

He Lianqing did as he did and successfully pulled out several whole radishes, and then he found himself degenerate to the point where he felt a sense of accomplishment in pulling out these things.

On the way back after picking vegetables, Grandpa told He Lianqing about Han Yang's childhood.

Han Yang has been very sensible since he was a child, and he didn't need to worry about it at all. He helped him with housework when he was very young. When he was in elementary school, he was ostracized by his classmates because he had no parents. The children in the school had a fight, and he didn't know that Han Yang was wronged at school.

"Hey, I was so careless at the time, I didn't notice that Xiao Yang felt uncomfortable." Grandpa sighed, reproaching himself when talking about these things.

"No." He Lianqing said, "You have done a good job. It is his luck that Han Yang met you."

"I'm not an old man." Grandpa laughed. He lost his children in middle age, and because of Han Yang, he was not so lonely and pitiful in the second half of his life.

He Lianqing stopped suddenly, and grandfather looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

He Lianqing bowed to her grandfather with a serious face, and said sincerely, "Thank you for educating Han Yang so well, you have worked hard."

Grandpa was stunned for a moment, looking at the way the tall man was bending over to him, his eyes were wet, and he said repeatedly, "Don't say that, he is my grandson, I should do whatever I do." He walked over and took pictures He patted He Lianqing's arm, and said with relief, "In the future, Xiao Yang will depend on you to take care of her, huh?"

He Lianqing nodded firmly: "Don't worry, I will take care of you and him."

Grandpa patted his hand and paused, suddenly understanding why Han Yang liked him.

The two returned home with vegetables, and Han Yang was already up, washing rice in the yard to prepare it for cooking. She was stunned when she saw He Lianqing who came in wearing a cotton-padded jacket and carrying a vegetable basket. With a trembling of her hand, she almost poured out the rice and water in the pot. When he reacted, he directly hugged his stomach and squatted on the ground, unable to straighten his waist with laughter.

He Lianqing put the dishes aside, walked to the faucet next to him and washed his hands, then looked down at him like this, and asked lukewarmly, "Is it funny?"

If he heard He Lianqing's words like this, Han Yang would definitely be flattering him, but Han Yang couldn't help it now when he saw the big flower padded jacket on his body, clutching his stomach and laughing and trembling: " No... it's not funny, it's so funny hahahahahaha!!"

Helianqing looked at him blankly, making him laugh enough, with a storm brewing in his eyes.

After laughing for half a minute, Han Yang slowed down a bit, grabbed He Lianqing's trousers, and said intermittently, "Gege, your image is just before and after going home, haha... No, I want to take a picture for you. Take it back and show it to Aunt Su." He got up to get the phone, but He Lianqing hugged him from behind just two steps away.

He Lianqing grabbed his hand and pressed him into her arms, lowered her head and said coldly in her ear, "It was filmed? I haven't seen you for a few days, are you getting more courageous?"

"No no no, hahahaha..." Han Yang laughed until his stomach twitched, "Hurry up and let me go, oh my, my stomach hurts."

"It deserves it." He Lianqing heard him say that his stomach was hurting, so he released his hand and rubbed his stomach for him. Unexpectedly, the more he rubbed Han Yang, the more he laughed.

"Don't touch me, what are you rubbing! I'm laughing so hard!" Han Yang patted his hand and took a deep breath while supporting the stone table beside him.

He Lianqing snorted coldly, turned around and entered the room, leaving behind a tall figure in a cotton-padded jacket. Seeing this, Han Yang almost couldn't hold back his laughter again, and hurriedly washed the rice and went to the kitchen to cook.

He Lianqing returned to the room, took the mirror and looked at the big country jacket on her body, the colorful colors almost blinded his eyes.

"..." He Lianqing put the mirror back, lest she can't take it anymore and take it off immediately and let down her grandfather's good intentions.

During the holidays, Han Yang was always cooking. Grandpa would help out when he had nothing to do. Today, there was another He Lianqing, so the fire naturally fell on He Lianqing. Just like pulling radishes in the morning, He Lianqing encountered difficulties again when burning the fire.

When Han Yang saw it, he smiled again, reached out and wiped the dust on his face, looked down at the fire that was finally burning, and said with a thumbs up, "You are awesome!"

He Lianqing: "..."

Damn, this fish has arrived at its own site to upgrade, right? !

After eating, grandpa took the initiative to mention the two of them, looked at them and said, "Grandpa is old, and he doesn't expect a glorious and rich life, as long as you two live in peace."

"Don't worry, Grandpa." Han Yang said, and Helianqing nodded.

"I thought about it yesterday. Now that the matter has been settled and the two of you have given proofs, you are a serious husband and wife, and you can't be a hooligan." Grandpa said.

Han Yang's hand circled behind and pinched He Lianqing's waist, his eyes hinting at him: If you hear me, you can't be a hooligan.

He Lianqing also glanced back at him from the corner of his eyes and said, "You will know what it means to be a hooligan when you go back.

Grandpa didn't notice their exchange, and continued: "Find an opportunity for the two to have a meal together, and be a witness together. As for weddings, you young people and old men don't understand, so you can figure it out for yourself. "

Han Yang and Helianqing nodded in unison.

The next day, Han Yang took He Lianqing to the town to hold the New Year's goods.

The old housekeeper and Aunt Zhou are responsible for the statistics and purchase of the New Year's goods in Helian's family. He Lianqing has never bought New Year's goods on the street like this. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, there are a lot of people who come out to go to the market to organize the New Year's goods. People are crowded, and their toes touch their heels. He Lianqing's height of 1.9 meters was pushed back a few steps by a few aunts, which made him fully understand. What is a country market day.

Han Yang first took him to buy dry goods and snacks, and after finishing the bill, he carried two big bags to buy red envelopes, couplets, firecrackers and other items. After shopping, they both carried two large bags in their hands.

Due to too many people going to the market, He Lianqing's coat was squeezed out a lot of folds, and it seemed that there was no trace of expensive temperament. Seeing this, Han Yang made fun of him again: "I knew I would let you wear grandpa's cotton-padded jacket."

Helianqing's face darkened, and she sneered: "You can be arrogant, it's just a few days."

Han Yang: "..." I forgot to go back after school started.

Han Yang coughed and pretended not to understand anything to find a car and go home.

New Year's Eve is ready, and the house is cleaned up, so it's time to wait for New Year's Eve. The day before New Year's Eve, Han Yang couldn't help but ask He Lianqing, "Are you really not planning to go back for the New Year?"

"How many times do you want to ask? Are Xianyu and Jinyu half-siblings?" He Lianqing glanced at him with ridicule.

It's a mockery of his poor memory. Han Yang twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I just don't think it's good. Aunt Su and the others definitely want you to go back to celebrate the New Year together. After all, they are your parents."

"Your parents too." He Lianqing interrupted him and touched his earlobe, "Besides, they are already on their way."

"What?" Han Yang was stunned for a moment.

"On the way." He Lianqing showed a meaningful smile, "I'll be there in the afternoon, pack up and get ready to meet your parents-in-law."

Han Yang: "…"
