I’ll go to town tomorrow to apply for early retirement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending about half an hour at the Liu household, Li Heng placed 400 yuan on the table: “This is from Lao Yong and Chunhua, sent through me as a token of their goodwill for your New Year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu’s mother was pleased—not just because of the money, but because it proved her daughter was doing well over there, that the dimwit wasn’t as foolish as everyone claimed, and that she still knew basic manners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the Liu household, halfway along the road he met Liu’s father and his two eldest sons returning with firewood, followed by several daughters-in-law and half-grown boys, their shoulders and hands laden with dry branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the Liu family had gone up the mountain together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more warm exchanges, he finally returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping over the threshold, he asked curiously: “Mom and Dad, why are you slaughtering a chicken so late?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gone through the divination incident, Tian Run’e now found him slightly irritating: “For the teacher.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng instinctively glanced around: “Has Teacher Yu come?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e said: “For your high school teacher.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she fixed her gaze on her son’s face, hoping to detect some sign of guilt in his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was greatly disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing “high school teacher,” Li Heng, the seasoned veteran, immediately sensed something was off—nine times out of ten, they were bluffing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he fall for that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked: “Is my homeroom teacher, Liu Qi, coming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e knew Liu Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, much of her suspicion dissolved; she regretted internally that she should have said “university teacher.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or even “middle school teacher” would’ve worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether her son would dare to harass a middle school teacher? In the past, she would never have believed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, if someone told her: “Your son is holding hands and hugging his elementary school teacher in the mountains,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, she wouldn’t dare immediately deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scoundrel had such a long record of misconduct—he’d already developed ambiguous relationships with four female classmates in high school alone, something unheard of, a marvel of the ages, leaving her utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Failing to get any reaction, Tian Run’e shifted her body, turning her back to him; she was still angry and clearly didn’t want to speak to her precious son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, there was no point in talking today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng washed his hands, went upstairs, and returned to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been on the move all day and was tired; instead of writing, he idly flipped through some academic materials, and gradually fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early in the morning, Tian Run’e knocked on his door and woke him: “Manzai, it’s early, few people on the road—let’s go to Xiao’s secretary’s house.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng understood his mother’s intent: keep it low-key, avoid drawing attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing up, Tian Run’e reminded him: “Wear a hat, tie a scarf to cover your face a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng thought this was a good idea, pulled out the scarf Xiao Han had given him, adjusted it, and asked: “Mom, how does it look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e circled him once: “Not bad. If you don’t look closely, no one will recognize you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Tian Run’e herself dressed up discreetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mother and son quickly gathered some gifts and hurried toward town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Tian Run’e glanced up: “It’s going to snow these next two days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng worried: “I hope it doesn’t snow tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Tian Run’e asked: “Why, are you going out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng replied: “I need to go to Chang City to pick up Teacher Yu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing “pick up Teacher Yu,” Tian Run’e asked no further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Heng asked: “Why isn’t Dad here? Where did he go so early?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e said: “Your father went ahead to town to buy gifts—he’s not coming with us. Too many people, too big a target, someone with ill intent might cause trouble behind our backs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e now feared most that the scandal would break, that the Xiao family or Chen family would come after them—just imagining the scene made her shiver. So they’d go as invisible as possible, just get through the New Year safely first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They brought some gifts from home and bought more locally popular items at the town’s supply and marketing cooperative; the three met in a narrow alley and headed together toward the town government compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The town was small—walking east or west took only a few steps, and they arrived quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jianguo, I’m nervous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reached the foot of Xiao’s building, Tian Run’e suddenly tensed up and spoke without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jianguo patted his wife’s shoulder. He too felt uneasy—his son had courted too many girls, and facing Xiao Han’s parents, he had no confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng smiled: “It’s cold today, no one’s around—why are you nervous, Mom? Besides, Xiao Han’s going to be our Li family daughter-in-law. What’s there to be nervous about when a mother meets her future daughter-in-law?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e said: “I don’t know this daughter-in-law at all. Is there anything I should be careful about saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, she’s easy to get along with, and smart. You just need to help me win over her parents,” Li Heng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e frowned: “Why don’t you go up first? I’ll go use the restroom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng laughed: “Running away at the last minute? That’s not your style.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no choice, Tian Run’e finally gritted her teeth and climbed the stairs, thinking of how many girls her son had tangled with, how she couldn’t offer the Xiao family any real promise—and she felt like a con artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A con artist stealing someone’s daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt deeply guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step, she climbed until they reached the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning left at the stairwell, walking twenty meters, the family stopped at the door; before her mother could react, Li Heng had already knocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dong dong dong…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dong dong…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only halfway through the second knock, the door cracked open, revealing Xiao Han’s exquisitely beautiful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing through the gap, Xiao Han opened the door fully the next second, smiling warmly at Tian Run’e: “Uncle, Auntie, you’re here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Hanhan, you’ve gotten even more beautiful.” Not knowing what else to say, Tian Run’e chose the safest compliment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jianguo smiled kindly at Xiao Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the commotion, Wei Shiman stepped out from the inner room; seeing the Li family arrive, she quickened her pace, stepping forward to help carry the gifts:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run’e, we’re old friends—just you coming is enough, why bring so many gifts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e slipped off her shoes and smiled: “We didn’t know what to bring, so we just picked a few random things—nothing valuable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could these possibly be worthless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, through Teacher Yu, they’d bought some ginseng; now they’d brought two full roots, each over thirty years old—extremely valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hai emerged from the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing, the elder sister, also came out from the bedroom to join the guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After changing shoes, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xiao Han reached out and took Li Heng’s arm, introducing him to Xiao Hai: “Dad, I’d like to formally introduce you—this is my man. Please don’t bully him from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the entire room fell utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shiman hadn’t expected her daughter to pull such a stunt; inwardly she cursed: That damned girl, she hasn’t even married him yet and’s already turning against her own family—why did I ever get so foolish as to have only one child?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hai was bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the most stunned was unquestionably Tian Run’e—just that one sentence told her this daughter-in-law was no pushover, and that she adored Manzai deeply, or she never would’ve said it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such strong support from his fiancée, Li Heng couldn’t lag behind—he immediately leaned in with boldness: “Dad, Mom, Sister, let me wish you all an early New Year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shiman subtly kicked her dazed husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hai snapped back to reality, looked at his daughter with mixed emotions, then smiled warmly at the Li family: “Ah, Jianguo, come in, sit down—the wind’s cold outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Xiao Hai, as the town’s chief, was usually a smooth-talking man; had his beloved daughter not suddenly pulled this stunt, he wouldn’t have been so flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing the door, the group sat down on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shiman treated Tian Run’e and Li Jianguo with great formality—she personally poured tea, served water, and proactively opened topics, afraid the two families might feel awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some small talk, Tian Run’e apologized: “We should’ve visited sooner, but we’ve been busy in Beijing and never had time to return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was polite flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And entirely within Wei Shiman’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that if she hadn’t caught her daughter and Li Heng in the act, the Li family would’ve been just as clueless as she had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how could they possibly claim they should’ve visited earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Wei Shiman understood that Li Jianguo and his wife likely hadn’t abandoned their plans for the Chen girl—otherwise, why would they have stayed in Beijing so long?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Beijing was the Chen family’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, she glanced at her daughter, who was now feeding oranges to Li Heng, and felt a pang of bitterness—but she had once made a promise to Li Heng, and she wouldn’t break it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shiman smiled: “I understand. I heard you only just got home today—you must’ve been very busy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e had said she was nervous, but once seated, her scholarly poise immediately surfaced—she spoke calmly and confidently, exchanging words smoothly with the Xiao couple, showing not a trace of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting a while, Wei Shiman asked: “Run’e, have you had breakfast yet? If not, I’ll make some now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e waved her hand: “Don’t worry about us—we already ate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Wei Shiman said to Xiao Han: “Take your man over to the other school for a walk—I need to speak with your mother-in-law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listen! Listen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at that remark! The old are still the sharpest—just one sentence made Xiao Han lose her composure, her face flushed as she pulled Li Heng away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the two young ones left, Wei Shiman’s expression grew even more serious, and she chose her words carefully: “Run’e, Jianguo, although I support Li Heng and our Hanhan’s free love, and support them being together—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“there are some things I must say to you upfront, or else Xiao Hai and I simply can’t rest easy. You’re parents too—I hope you understand our concerns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e sat upright, exchanged a glance with her husband, and said: “Go ahead, in-laws.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time meeting as prospective in-laws, at such an important moment, Wei Shiman didn’t raise her voice or make empty demands—she simply stated one thing clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, she sought an attitude—a declaration from Li Jianguo and Tian Run’e.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shiman said: “What is the true state of Li Heng’s romantic life? I’m sure you two know better than I do. I won’t say who’s worthy or unworthy—since the two young ones care for each other, as elders, Xiao Hai and I have no wish to be the villains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we have one demand: at your Li family’s New Year’s Eve dinner table, Hanhan and her children must have a seat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shiman didn’t explicitly mention marriage, but this demand was barely a step away from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New Year’s Eve dinner was no ordinary occasion—only those deeply favored, those of high status in the Li household, could sit at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, her demand seemed high. But consider it from the perspective of parents—consider that the Xiao family had only one biological daughter—it became understandable, even reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t name any child, didn’t demand one child be taken to the Xiao family to bear the Xiao surname. Since she spoke of Hanhan sitting at the Li family’s New Year’s Eve table, it was naturally implied that Hanhan’s children must bear the Li surname.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She made her request openly, fairly, and reasonably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without explicitly mentioning marriage, Tian Run’e and Li Jianguo both exhaled a deep, relieved breath. Last night, they’d imagined every possible scenario—but this one was already far better than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds of silent exchange, Tian Run’e and Li Jianguo spoke solemnly: “In-laws, rest assured—as long as we still draw breath, no one in the Li family will ever slight Hanhan or her children. Wherever the New Year’s Eve dinner is held, Hanhan is our Li family’s daughter-in-law—her seat will always be at the main table.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the immense influence of Teacher Yu and the Yu family, both sets of parents were uncertain about Li Heng’s future marriage prospects—so while they hoped for a marriage certificate, they dared not take it for granted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Xiao Hai and Wei Shiman, entrenched in the system, understood the terrifying power of a family like the Yus. They’d considered every angle from Li Heng’s perspective, and after long deliberation, settled on the New Year’s Eve dinner demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the New Year’s Eve dinner seat was merely a baseline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their daughter and Li Heng could truly obtain a marriage certificate, that would be even better—indeed, what the Xiao family most desired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Tian Run’e’s verbal assurance, Wei Shiman and Xiao Hai slowly smiled; the previously solemn atmosphere eased, and conversation turned light and cheerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group appeared relaxed and joyful, as if the “New Year’s Eve dinner seat” matter had never occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the town middle school, Xiao Han led Li Heng to a small grove behind the cafeteria—no one was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding a sheltered corner, Xiao Han asked: “Mr. Li, do you think they’ll reach an agreement?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng was confident; he gripped her palm firmly: “Of course—who’d dare refuse a wife like you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Han pointed to a plum tree beside them: “Do you remember this tree?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories surfaced—beneath this very tree, she and Zijin had often met secretly. He sighed: “Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her hands behind her back, Xiao Han chirped: “The moon of Qin, the passes of Han—things remain, but people have changed. Mr. Li, shall we cut down this tree?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng was speechless: “This is the school’s tree—how dare you cut it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Han gazed up at the canopy, her voice soft with melancholy: “Look at this canopy—it’s grown so large in just a few years, already sprawling over the other trees. Sigh… not studying well, turning bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was hinting that he was juggling multiple women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine—his cunning wife, too delighted, was teasing him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more talking today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After wandering outside for about an hour, the two, nearly frozen, returned to the Xiao home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, seeing the elders laughing and chatting, they both exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiao Qing was busy in the kitchen preparing lunch. Li Heng immediately volunteered to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Han followed him into the kitchen and told her elder sister: “Sis, let him cook—he makes delicious food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing had long heard of Li Heng’s culinary skills; she smiled: “Alright then, son-in-law, you take the wok—I’ll and Hanhan will be your assistants.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!” Li Heng cheerfully got to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing toward the living room where the four elders sat, Xiao Han whispered to her sister: “Did Mom make any unreasonable demands?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked about Mom, not Dad, because in such situations, when harsh demands were made, Wei Shiman would never let the man speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Han knew her mother’s nature well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing glanced at Li Heng’s back, subtly gave a reassuring gesture, and said they’d talk later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Han’s heart finally settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lunch was lavish; Li Heng’s cooking earned constant praise, and the two families drank over a liter of baijiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You heard right—baijiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Homemade from grain, each family brewed their own—when winter came and they craved a drink, they’d fill a saltwater bottle halfway, soak it in warm water, and sip it until warmth spread through their stomachs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, Mom, let me and Hanhan toast you—may you enjoy good health and all good things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng and Xiao Han each raised a cup, first toasting Xiao Hai and Wei Shiman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. We accept your good wishes.” Xiao Hai and Wei Shiman raised their cups and clinked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one round, Li Heng and Xiao Han toasted Li Jianguo and Tian Run’e.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jianguo had long abstained from alcohol due to health reasons, but today was a joyous occasion—he broke his rule and drank a small half-cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After toasting the elders, Li Heng and Xiao Han shared a drink with their elder sister Xiao Qing—this time, no pressure; they merely sipped lightly, enough to honor the ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e loved alcohol—she drank two taels of rice wine with every meal, and sometimes, when in high spirits, added a bit more. Her presence at the table ensured Xiao Hai and Wei Shiman’s cups were always refilled, laughter never ceasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lunch lasted over an hour; after tea, the Li family trio took their leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they saw them off downstairs, once the Li family had vanished from sight, Wei Shiman suddenly sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hai asked: “You were fine just now—why sigh now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shiman said: “I used to mock men who remarried. Now my daughter’s given to one. Fate plays cruel tricks. I won’t dare be a gossip anymore—bad karma awaits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her mother’s sarcasm, Xiao Han, for the first time, didn’t argue—she pretended not to hear, humming a tune as she walked back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See that? Who does she take after? Shameless—no wonder she snatched Li Heng from Chen Zijin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing laughed, stepping forward to chase after her sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hai chuckled helplessly: “At this point, just say less.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Say less? I’ve suffered a great loss—can’t I vent behind closed doors?” Honestly, Wei Shiman didn’t fully approve of this match.
