Seeing his daughter chatting and laughing with her cousins, Han Jingchen knew that his nephew’s suggestion was right. After the trip up the mountain, it was evident that their relationship had improved a lot.
Yesterday, they were still unfamiliar with each other, but now they were chatting with such natural expressions, which allowed Han Jingchen to truly relax.
His daughter had truly accepted the family: "Yanyan, are you tired?"
Xinyan smiled slightly at Han Jingchen: "Dad, I’m fine. Didn’t I tell you before, I have been exercising, and Jinxuan, fearing I might encounter danger outside, taught me military boxing."
Han Jingchen shifted his gaze to He Jinxuan behind his daughter, thinking to himself: You’re quite thoughtful.
He Jinxuan met his future father-in-law’s gaze without backing down, returning the look directly.
Han Jingchen told him: "Well done."
Receiving affirmation, He Jinxuan couldn’t help but curl his lips: "There are always times when I can’t be by her side. Learning some skills can’t be wrong."
Han Jingchen nodded and said: "You’re right."
Regarding Xinyan’s safety, these two reached a united front, exchanging smiles, which made He Jinxuan feel delighted.
Sister Chen saw everyone had returned and asked with a smile: "Did you dig up any shepherd’s purse?"
Han Chaohui replied with a smile: "Of course we did."
With an air of mystery, he carried the basket over: "Aunt Chen, I’ll give you a big surprise in a moment."
Sister Chen laughed: "Did you catch a wild chicken?"
Han Chaohui quickly took out the shepherd’s purse on top of the basket: "Ta-dah, look here, look here."
He directly removed the large leaves underneath, revealing the rabbit: "Heavens, did you all raid a rabbit den?"
Han Chaohui boasted: "Absolutely, we took down a whole den, impressive, right?"
Sister Chen chuckled and gave a thumbs up: "Impressive, impressive."
Sun Baowei walked over at this moment: "Wow, did you all hit the jackpot?"
Sun Zhenhai grumbled: "Dad, can’t you be more civilized? How will we eat the rabbit meat later?"
Sun Baowei laughed: "Alright, alright, alright, my youngest’s right. You all did get lucky today. Is that good enough?"
Sun Zhenhai pouted: "That’s better."
Han Chunxue smiled as she watched the father and son bantering: "Aren’t you two going to start working?"
The father and son exchanged glances and quickly carried the basket, running toward the backyard, laughing along the way.
This kind of atmosphere really made Xinyan enjoy it, and she couldn’t help but look at Han Jingchen, who exchanged a smile with her from a distance.
Han Jingchen knew that his daughter had truly accepted him.
With many hands, the rabbits were quickly cleaned, leaving two for them to take when both families headed home in the afternoon.
Sister Chen stewed two rabbits, leaving the rest for Han Chaoyang to roast them all.
Han Jingchen waved to Xinyan: "Yanyan, are you tired? Go wash up a bit and take a short rest."
Xinyan replied with a smile: "Okay."
As everyone would leave in the afternoon, it was the perfect time to prepare the gifts she had for them.
She returned to the house, latched the door, took a shower, changed into a fresh outfit, and then took out the items she had prepared beforehand.
The gifts for her uncle, father, uncle-in-law, and a few older cousins were tea leaves, yes, tea leaves picked from the space. Last time, when she traveled south, she specifically consulted a master and tried frying some herself, which turned out quite well.
The gifts for her aunt and cousin, as well as her female cousin, were self-made moisturizer, made according to a formula from the Beauty Collection. She tested it herself, and the effect was genuinely good.
And the gifts for her little male cousin and third brother were her homemade dried fruits that, once tasted, couldn’t be stopped.
In short, anything from the space was excellent.
She directly brought out the gifts and placed them on the living room cabinet for easy access later.
As soon as she stepped out of the yard, her cousin Sun Zhenling ran over: "Cousin, your outfit is so beautiful! Where did you buy it?"
Xinyan saw her interest: "If you like it, I’ll send you a set later."
Sun Zhenling quickly waved her hand: "No need, no need, I just haven’t seen this style before, that’s why I asked."
Seeing her this way, Xinyan laughed. This cousin was truly simple-minded: "No problem, I’ll have someone send over a set later, and I’ll deliver it to you."
