Chapter 101 The Han Sisters
After riding his bike out of Shuijing Hutong, Li Shengli felt inexplicably in a good mood. When he saw others looking at him, he would smile and nod as a greeting.
Han Qiuyun watched Li Shengli walk away, then returned home with the box of wild vegetables and the paper bag of mung bean cakes in her hand.
"Qiuyun, you're back." Old Mrs. Han was cleaning the house and asked when she heard footsteps.
"Qiuyun, what happened to you? Are you hurt?" Turning around, Old Mrs. Han saw Han Qiuyun limping and quickly dropped what she was holding and walked up to Han Qiuyun and asked.
"It's okay, I just sprained my ankle." Han Qiuyun smiled and comforted her grandmother.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Han Qiuyun's sister Han Qiuyu heard her grandmother say that her sister was injured, so she hurried out of the house and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, I just sprained my ankle." Han Qiuyun began to comfort her sister again.
"Qiuyu, go get the bruises medicine at home and apply it to your sister." Old Mrs. Han looked at Han Qiuyun's injuries and instructed Han Qiuyu.
"I'll go right away." Han Qiuyu responded and went to the cupboard to get the medicine for traumatic injuries.
"Why are you so careless? Does it still hurt? Let's go to the hospital." Old Mrs. Han looked at Han Qiuyun with heartache.
"Grandma, it doesn't hurt anymore. I've seen a doctor." Han Qiuyun said obediently.
"Come, sister, take off your shoes and wash your feet first, I will apply medicine for you." Han Qiuyu brought a basin of water and placed it at Han Qiuyun's feet.
After Han Qiuyun washed her feet and dried them with a towel, Han Qiuyu poured some medicine for bruises on his hands, rubbed them vigorously with his hands, and then applied it evenly on Han Qiuyun's injured feet.
After a while, Han Qiuyun felt her feet getting hot.
"Okay, it will be almost healed by tomorrow." Han Qiuyu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister, you are so careless. How did you sprain your ankle?"
"I was picking wild vegetables and I wasn't paying attention, and I accidentally stepped on a small hole," Han Qiuyun explained.
"Sister, please be careful next time. How did you come back?" Han Qiuyu first gave her instructions and then became curious about why her sister came back so soon.
Now Han Qiuyun was speechless, mainly because she couldn't explain her relationship with Li Shengli to her grandmother and sister.
"By the way, sister, where are the wild vegetables you picked?" Han Qiuyu looked around in confusion and began to search.
"Ah, I see it." Han Qiuyu found the basket at the door.
"Sister, what is this?" Han Qiuyu took the basket from the door and saw something wrapped in paper on it at a glance.
"Oh, that's the mung bean cake someone gave me. Let me bring it back for you and grandma to try." Han Qiuyun also let go of the burden in her heart at this moment. The worst that could happen is that she would be teased by her sister and grandma.
"Oh! Who sent it?" Han Qiuyu asked curiously as he opened the paper package.
"Just a friend." Han Qiuyun explained hesitantly. She didn't know how to explain her relationship with Li Shengli as they had just met today.
"Friend, why don't I know which friend of yours would give you this?" Han Qiuyu opened the paper package and smelled the fragrance of mung bean cake. Han Qiuyu sniffed it and said in confusion.
"Even if there is food, it still can't stop you from eating." Han Qiuyun rolled her eyes at Han Qiuyu in annoyance, "Grandma, you try it too. Qiuyu, you also give grandma one."
"It's delicious. It tastes good. You should try it too, grandma." Han Qiuyu said in surprise after taking a bite, and handed the paper bag to Grandma Han.
"Let me try it." Old Mrs. Han took a piece of mung bean cake from Han Qiuyu and took a bite. "It tastes good." Old Mrs. Han nodded in agreement.
"Sister, have you tried it? Where did your friend buy it?" Han Qiuyu asked vaguely while eating the cake.
"Let me try it." Han Qiuyun did not answer Han Qiuyu's words, but picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth to taste it.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Han Qiuyu said, as if to say, "Sister, you haven't told me where you bought this cake."
"They did it themselves." Han Qiuyun said unhappily.
Old Mrs. Han smiled without saying anything, thinking that Qiuyun's friend must be a man, there were no female chefs at the moment. Being a chef is a physical job, and ordinary women don't have the strength.
Old Mrs. Han looked at Han Qiuyun kindly. She said that it was time for Qiuyun to find a partner. She was old and didn't know what kind of men her two granddaughters would find in the end.
The two sisters talked for a while. Han Qiuyu put away the wild vegetables she had picked, while Han Qiuyun was wondering what she was thinking.
When it was almost dark, a gossiper in the yard who was curious about the relationship between Han Qiuyun and Li Shengli came to the door.
"Grandma, is the guy who sent Qiuyun back today Qiuyun's boyfriend?" An old lady knocked on the door of the Han family.
"That depends on Qiuyun's opinion." Old Mrs. Han knew clearly in her mind that some people were just waiting for her to die. Then, marrying Han Qiuyun would give her both a wife and a house. Even for the sake of her two granddaughters, she had to wait until they were married before leaving.
"No, my foot was injured, and he rode his bike to take me back." Han Qiuyun said shyly.
Han Qiuyu's eyes lit up, thinking that something was wrong with his sister.
"Yes, Qiuyun, you must be cautious when looking for a partner." The aunt's eyes lit up. As long as this was not Han Qiuyun's partner, there was still a chance for others.
"Our Qiuyun has only one requirement when looking for a partner, and that is that he must be good to our Qiuyun." Old Mrs. Han said meaningfully.
The aunt pretended not to hear, talked about this and that for a while and then left.
After the people left, Old Lady Han looked at Han Qiuyun with a smile, and Han Qiuyu also looked at Han Qiuyun with an interrogative look.
"Sister, who is Aunt Wang talking about?" Han Qiuyu said in a teasing tone, seemingly asking.
"I just met him today too. He rode his bike to see me because I sprained my ankle and took me to the hospital to see a doctor. The mung bean cake you ate was also given to you by him." Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Han Qiuyun told her sister and grandmother everything that had happened today.
"Qiuyun, you can make your own decision about your marriage, but you must be careful." Old Mrs. Han advised.
"Yes, sister, you have to see if the other person is sincere." Han Qiuyu said seriously.
"What? We've only known each other for one day." Han Qiuyun shouted somewhat aggrievedly.
"I don't know what kind of person he is, but his cooking skills are pretty good." Han Qiuyu pretended not to hear Han Qiuyun's words, nodded and said pretentiously.
After hearing what Han Qiuyu said, Han Qiuyun tickled her angrily, and soon the two sisters started fighting with each other.
