Chapter 134.1

Yang Lin was stunned for a moment before reacting, “She—she went on a blind date with you?”

Han Cheng nodded, refraining from commenting on the gossip behind people’s backs. He stopped at that point, repeating his advice, “Big brother, I personally suggest you consider it carefully. She is not a suitable match for you.”

Han Cheng’s character was well-known to everyone. After hearing his words, there was nothing left to ask. Judging a person’s character was not negotiable.

Dong Mingyue nodded and said, “Lin’Er, although we don’t mind her status as a widow, her character still needs to pass the test. If it doesn’t match our family values, bringing her in will only cause trouble.”

Yang Lin’s face showed disappointment. It was the first time he had paid much attention to a female comrade. In fact, he hadn’t interacted with Liu Shuixian many times, but each time she spoke gently in a Wu dialect, appearing tender and understanding. The important thing was that she could engage in conversations with him, discussing favorite authors and poems. While they might not reach the level of ideological resonance, it was already rare for him to find a female comrade with common interests. Later, he found out that she was a high school graduate who had worked as a teacher at a primary school for a while. After her husband’s death, she was heartbroken and, for various reasons, chose not to remarry but remained faithful to her martyr husband.

Not long ago, during a conversation, she suddenly asked him what he thought of her, and she said he was quite a good and suitable match.

After that, he was puzzled. After contemplating for a long time, he couldn’t figure out what she meant. Later, he asked Dong Mingyue and learned that she wanted to be in a relationship with him.

Dong Mingyue suggested getting to know her character before making a decision.

After that, Yang Lin didn’t have a chance to see Liu Shuixian again before Han Cheng arrived. So, he thought of asking Han Cheng to inquire about Captain Su’s opinion of her character, but he didn’t expect to get such an answer.

Yang Lin nodded dejectedly. “Alright, I understand.”

Han Cheng didn’t stay long and went back. By now, it was past seven, the sun had risen, and it was already bright. When Han Cheng reached the Su family’s doorstep, he thought he had entered the wrong house. How come there are a lot of people outside their house so early in the morning?

After confirming multiple times that he hadn’t entered the wrong house, Han Cheng had no choice but to say to the crowd blocking his door, “Excuse me, may I pass?”

The member turned around and saw Han Cheng, shouting, “Oh, Director Han is back. Hurry up, make way for Director Han, and let him in.”

Han Cheng walked into the house in confusion, and there were also many people in the yard. Xiao Doubao and Xiao Roubao were playing with small balls that Li Yufeng had made for them at some point. Xiao Roubao, who had chubby flesh, walked steadily on his feet and struggled with the oversized winter coat. If he didn’t turn his head or concentrate, he would trip over his own feet and lose balance. He held the ball he snatched from his second brother, then plopped down on the ground.

The little chubby cub didn’t cry, nor did he need his brother’s help. Using his small, chubby hands to support himself on the ground, he could easily climb back up. He seemed to think highly of himself, squinting his eyes and patting the sand off his hands, ready to run or snatch the ball.

The small gloves that his grandma or aunt had knitted for him had long been tossed aside.

Xiao Tangyuan, as delicate as a porcelain doll with only slightly long hair, was skillfully tied into two neat little braids by Li Yufeng. The youngest, still half-asleep, had just started learning to walk. Although she could take a few steps on her own, she wasn’t very stable yet. She sat on a small bamboo chair, watching her older brothers. The little girl, with her eyes twinkling and dimples showing, played with her twin brother while Li Yufeng made a chick-shaped backpack for Xiao Doubao.

Upon hearing Su Xiaoxiao talk about how Xiao Doubao bought fabric on his own, Li Yufeng praised him, calling him clever, and promised to make three backpacks as a reward. Xiao Doubao was overjoyed.

Xiao Tangyuan saw her father come back and reached out to him with a soft, sticky hand, sweetly shouting, ‘Daddy.’ Han Cheng’s heart melted, so he picked up the little girl, rubbed her forehead, and asked, “Where’s Mommy?”

The little girl pointed to the room and said in a sweet and milky voice, “Room~ Room~ Read~” Her pronunciation was not standard yet. What she wanted to say was that her mommy was in the room, reading.

“Xiaoxiao is in the room reading,” Li Yufeng added.

The community members, watching the twins, began to discuss:

“Oh, the twins are extraordinary. Although they look different, each of them has its own unique charm.”

“Indeed. Look at chubby Xiao Roubao, isn’t he identical to the baby in the New Year painting, wearing a little bellyband and holding a carp?”

“Xiao Tangyuan is so beautiful. Both Xiaoxiao and Director Han are good-looking, and their children are good-looking too. Haven’t seen such a pretty little girl before, her face is like a peeled boiled egg, big round eyes, so charming.”

“Have you noticed the dimples on Xiao Tangyuan’s face? Just like Xiaoxiao’s.”

An elderly grandma chimed in, “Xiaoxiao looked like this when she was a child. At that time, she was the most beautiful girl in the village, just as good-looking as this one.”

“Xiao Doubao looks especially good.”

“Xiao Fantuan looks good too, full of spirit.”

“Da Bao, Xiao Bao, and Yao Bao, which one is not good-looking? Captain Su’s kids are also so well-behaved; I don’t know how they all turned out good-looking.”

“That’s right, even Xiao Zhuzi, who came back with them last time, and that Xiao Yu, they are all good-looking.”

…….
Whenever there is something new in the village, everyone knows it in no time, faster than broadcasting. People in the village liked Captain Su’s children as if they were their own children.

Han Cheng finally understood. It turns out these people are here to “visit” the twins. He thought his dad had called them over for something important.

Li Yufeng couldn’t stand it anymore. “If you want to see the kids, come in and see. Standing outside like this is not proper. It’s cold outside, and the kids need to come inside after playing for a while. Or you can come inside and sit for a bit.”

The group of villagers waved their hands and said, “No need, no need. With so many people, we’re afraid of scaring the kids. Your house can’t accommodate us all. We’ll just take a quick look and leave. Aunt Li and Captain Su are so fortunate. The kids in your family are not only good-looking but also well-behaved.”

“Yeah, we’ve never heard of someone having twins in our commune before. This is the first time for our commune. Such good fortune.”

“Alright, we should go back now. Let’s disperse.”
