Han Jingchen also looked over: "Jingsong, who is this?"
Su Jingsong quickly said: "Mr. Han, this is the mother of Squad Leader Wu Shengli from the Sharp Blade Camp. In a few days, it will be his memorial day."
Han Jingchen released his daughter: "You’ve had a long journey, ma’am. Are there people here to pick you up?"
The elderly woman was surprised to see Su Jingsong, who she only met briefly once, and heard Han Jingchen’s question: "Yes, yes, they are waiting for the two of us at the station exit."
Originally, Xinyan wanted to ask the elderly woman for her address, hoping that after fully understanding the acupuncture techniques in her space, she could find a chance to visit and see if she could help the woman’s twin grandchildren. Now she didn’t need to ask, she could just inquire with Su Jingsong later.
Han Jingchen also reached out to ruffle the young boy’s head: "How old are you?"
The little boy looked up and smiled at Han Jingchen: "I’m four years old."
Xinyan noticed it was getting late and reminded everyone: "Let’s go, let’s head out of the station first."
When they reached the exit, they saw someone holding a sign to pick people up. After asking around, they learned that the grandmother and grandson would have someone responsible for them in the coming days, which set their minds at ease.
Xinyan used her backpack as cover and discreetly took a handful of White Rabbit candies from her space, placing them in the little boy’s pocket: "This is a gift from your elder sister. You can’t refuse it, but eating too much candy can cause cavities, so remember to eat only one piece a day, okay?"
Xinyan initially planned to give the elderly woman some money but feared it would burden her. She thought it would be better to ask Su Jingsong to gather some information and prepare something for them when they leave.
Encountering each other is destiny.
After saying goodbye to the grandmother and grandson, Xinyan prepared to go home with Han Jingchen, feeling a little uneasy.
He Jinxuan seemed to notice her mood change and secretly reached out to hold her hand.
But Han Jingchen caught onto this little gesture with just a glance, and He Jinxuan quickly let go of Xinyan’s hand, fearing that his future father-in-law might revoke his permission to take her to college.
It was best for him to be honest, to avoid his future father-in-law disliking him and considering replacing him as a future son-in-law.
Once they got in the car, Han Jingchen spoke to Su Jingsong in the front: "Jingsong, contact them later to find out when the grandmother and grandson plan to leave. Prepare some items to send over, and also prepare two hundred yuan as a small gesture from me."
It was only during the walk from the station that they learned about the situation of the Wu Family.
Su Jingsong responded: "Yes."
After arranging these things, Han Jingchen felt a little better: "Yanyan, are you hungry?"
Xinyan shook her head: "We ate some dried food on the train, so we’re not very hungry."
Both of them knew that food was surely prepared at home, so they only had a little to tide them over.
Han Jingchen laughed: "Originally, your cousins insisted on coming to pick you up, but I didn’t let them. There are only so many seats in the car unless they want to sit on the roof."
Xinyan imagined the scene and laughed out loud.
Han Jingchen saw his daughter happy and continued: "Originally, your uncle and aunt wanted to come over for dinner tonight, but I thought the train arriving late and your fatigue from the long journey were concerning, so I postponed it.
I thought you could rest for another day tomorrow, and since the day after that is the weekend, they can come over for a gathering. What do you think?"
Xinyan had no objections because she had already called to say that there was no need for a banquet, just a family gathering: "Sure, you make the arrangements."
Han Jingchen looked at his daughter: "I had to go to great lengths to persuade your uncle and aunt, Yanyan, you really gave me quite the challenge."
Xinyan laughed: "I trust in dad’s abilities."
Han Jingchen felt overjoyed upon hearing his daughter’s words: "Of course, wouldn’t you look at who your father is."
The father and daughter bantered for a while, and then Xinyan said: "I don’t want to be seen like a monkey on display, nor be high-profile. It’s enough that people know the second daughter of the Han Family is back. Recognizing people is unnecessary."
Han Jingchen felt that as long as his daughter was happy, it was fine: "Alright, I’ll do as you say, sweetheart."
