Chapter 280: Family Situation

After busy with the matters of Fule Wine, when Han Songlin returned, he saw that the house was already full of people. After returning for the New Year, it was definitely necessary for the family to get together and have a meal together.

So, this evening, he asked the Han Songcai family to come over for dinner together.

Of course, Han Songlin's sister and brother-in-law were also invited.

In addition, Han Songlin's father-in-law's family.

There were more than ten people, so naturally they couldn't all sit on the sofa, and they had to set up two tables for lunch.

The sounds of children playing and adults playing mahjong, the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen, everything seemed so full of life.

'Songlin is back!'

Han Songlin greeted everyone one by one, and after searching with his eyes, he didn't see Liu Yang and the others, so he asked curiously, 'Where are Liu Yang and Wang Le?'

Liu Yuyan pointed to Tang Yan's room and said, 'They're playing computer games inside!'

Han Songlin naturally knew that the future belonged to the era of the Internet, and in order to access the Internet, the most important thing was a computer.

In fact, even with the advent of smartphones in later years, it did not affect the Internet access function of computers.

In terms of work, everyone still relied more on computers to get things done.

Han Songlin went to Tang Yan's house and looked in. The door was open; Tang Yan was casually leaning on the wrapped quilt, holding a book in her hand. As for Han Yufei,

what was she doing at the moment?

Sitting on the bed, she had a book in front of her.

It was a word recognition picture book specially for young children.

Liu Yuyan bought it to teach Han Yumeng to recognize words. Usually, when Liu Yuyan was bored at home, she would take care of the children and ask them to recognize words by looking at pictures.

Han Songlin appeared at the door, and Han Yufei looked up. When she saw Han Songlin, she reached up for a hug.

Smiling, he picked her up, but his gaze was on the two people sitting in front of the computer.

Liu Yang and Wang Le were in a state of ecstasy, their eyes glued to the computer screen.

The computer screen at this time, when viewed by Han Songlin, was really low. Anyway, he was already used to the high-definition LCD screens of the future, and he really wasn't used to the current computer screens.

The refresh rate was too low, and the screen often flickered.

At that moment, the screen displayed an interesting scene:

a game.

The game looked really simple, but Han Songlin recognised it at a glance as an RTS game.

It looked a lot like the interface of the future game Red Alert.

'What's the name of this game?'

Han Songlin was curious. His earliest impression of computer games was the Mario game Mushroom, which he played in the elementary school computer room.

There were also games like solitaire that came with the system.

'Dune!'

Well, he had never heard of this game before, but judging from the gameplay, it already had the shadow of a future real-time strategy game.

It should not be put that way, or it should be said that this game should be considered a pioneering game, and the future gameplay was based on this foundation and then reworked.

Everything improves and matures after a period of time.

This process of improvement takes a long time, a few years, ten years or even twenty years.

Liu Yang: 'Brother-in-law, are you playing?'

Han Songlin shook his head: 'You guys play!'

Having already played games in the mature mode of the future, playing this game with graphics as pixelated as this, which is much more than pixels, anyway, Han Songlin didn't want to play.

Han Songlin carried Han Yufei out of the bedroom and came to the balcony.

In the house, how could there be less mahjong!

Han Songcai, Liu Mingcheng, Wang Dashan, and He Hui were playing mahjong together.

Zhang Suyun and He Hui's mother were watching the children from the side.

Han Songlin casually glanced at the child in the cradle. To say that there is a sense of kinship?

Sorry, he really doesn't feel it.

Han Songlin was quite surprised by the appearance of this nephew, and he was a bit unprepared mentally.

His gaze fell on Zhang Suyun's kind face, which kept staring at the child in the cradle, and this made Han Songlin feel a little uncomfortable.

The preference for sons over daughters was too obvious. Although Liu Yuyan didn't say anything to Han Songlin, he wasn't stupid. Couldn't he feel it?

In her heart, Liu Yuyan was also very unhappy.

She sighed lightly, and Han Songlin didn't know what to say about it.

'Hey, big brother, let's play cards!' Han Songcai greeted Han Songlin with a smile when he saw him coming over.

Han Songlin shook his head lightly, 'You guys play!'

It's just a friendly game among family members, so there's no need to get serious about it.

Han Songlin didn't even ask about Han Songcai's situation in Rongcheng; looking at him, he seemed to be doing well in Rongcheng.

If it really couldn't be helped, Han Songcai would have returned home like a dog in mourning long ago.

Han Songlin then took Han Yufei to the kitchen, where Liu Yuyan and Han Xiuya were busy.

There were many people today, so naturally there was a lot of preparation.

'Big sister, is my brother-in-law getting used to it over at the pig farm?' Han Songlin asked, while reaching over to pick up a piece of braised pork from the cutting board and offering it to Han Yufei.

Seeing this, Liu Yuyan was furious and glared at Han Songlin fiercely. She wondered if children weren't allowed to eat things on the cutting board.

The reason for this custom is unknown; it is thought to be because eating from the cutting board is considered stealing food!

Or perhaps it is because if you eat too much on the cutting board, you won't be able to eat at the table, and the guests will be unhappy.

Han Songlin pretended not to see, and Han Yufei grabbed it with her hands and ate it in small bites, which was very cute.

Han Xiuya was picking vegetables and heard Han Songlin's query, and laughed, 'He? He would rather sleep with those pigs than go home now!'

Han Xiuya and the others had bought a house in the county town, with their own savings and some money borrowed from Han Songlin.

Liu Yuyan laughed, disbelieving, 'Big sister, I don't believe it. My brother-in-law would never let such a beauty like you stay alone in the house!'

Han Xiuya gave Liu Yuyan a little tap and said apologetically, 'What are you talking about?'

Han Songlin pretended not to understand what they were talking about.

The married women drove at breakneck speeds, taking people to the highway in minutes.

Han Songlin said that he just wanted to take the bus to kindergarten.

Han Songlin: 'Sister, I'll go talk to my brother-in-law and tell him to come home more often!'

'No, no, we're fine now!' Han Xiuya quickly told Han Songlin not to do that. Her earlier words were just meant to tell Han Songlin that her brother-in-law takes things very seriously.

In the evening, there were naturally two tables because of the large number of people.

A table was also set up on top of the coffee table.

The little ones went to eat on top of the coffee table, which was just the right height, so they could eat either kneeling or standing.

After dinner, everyone left one after the other.

In the next two days, Han Songlin did not go to Fule Liquor, but instead went to the hotel construction site to have a look. At this time, construction was still underway on the site.

The construction workers were basically local people from Yuechi, so they could take holidays whenever they wanted.

Yuechi had recently undertaken a lot of construction projects, which had attracted a lot of surplus rural labour to work in the city.

As a result, many families had a lot of extra income and were able to have a good year.
