Gu Yiwen and his wife arrive to stay with their daughter and son-in-law, prioritizing family time after losing their eldest son and with their second son still missing. The Han family gathers emotionally in the suburbs, sharing sympathies and celebrating Zhenhua's pregnancy amid joyful chatter. In the study, Zhang Yueshan opts for a stable railway job, learning his long efforts have been fully recognized and approved for return.

Han Jingchen and Gu Yiwen fully grasped Zhang Yueshan’s emotions.

After Zhang Yueshan composed himself, Han Jingchen proceeded, "Now that you’re entering the railway system for work, I’ll handle all the housing issues for you.

Meanwhile, Aunt Zhang will remain here during this period, so get yourself mentally ready. Yanyan already expressed her desire to bring Aunt Zhang to her home, hence no urgency to clean up the place right away."

Zhang Yueshan chuckled, "My mom has gained real popularity since arriving in Beijing."

Han Jingchen smiled while pouring a cup of tea for himself, "Xinyan holds a unique affection for Aunt Zhang. Her intention was always to look after her, and you won’t stand a chance against that. Consider this your advance warning.

Oh, and there’s one trick you might use to gain some ground."

Zhang Yueshan inquired with curiosity, "What trick? Spill it."

Han Jingchen took a sip of his tea, "Find a wife fast, and when she gets pregnant, Aunt Zhang will naturally come to you without any contest."

Gu Yiwen glanced at his son-in-law, "Your suggestion may not be the best, but it would surely make Aunt Zhang the most delighted."

Zhang Yueshan realized Han Jingchen was pushing him to start a family soon, probably after hearing his mother’s constant complaints, serving as her indirect messenger.

At his age, locating a matching partner feels tough, and rushing it isn’t wise. He decided to proceed step by step.

Noticing Zhang Yueshan’s look, Han Jingchen knew his thoughts, "I’ve recently checked out several potential matches for you. Once you’re stable, I’ll share their details. Pick any that appeal, and set up a meeting."

Zhang Yueshan never imagined Han Jingchen had already lined up candidates, his cheeks turning red, "No need to hurry."

Gu Yiwen, close with Zhang Yueshan, stated bluntly, "Now that your job is set, focus on building a family next. This goes beyond just your mom’s hope—it’s something that truly can’t wait."

This time, Zhang Yueshan offered no evasion, simply nodding, "I get it."

Their deep chat was broken by a knock at the door, "Dinner is served."

By that moment, members of the Han Family and Sun Family, with their time off, had all gathered.

Chu Zhenhua showed up, drawing everyone’s focus to her.

A bit shy from all the stares, Chu Zhenhua remarked, "Stop looking at me that way, please."

Xinyan came over smiling, "Second sister-in-law, you’re our family’s special guest now."

Her mother-in-law Su Aihong added with a grin, "Exactly, take a seat—this is a special treat."

In the interim, Su Aihong presented the elderly Gu couple and the Zhang mother-son pair to her.

Chu Zhenhua offered greetings to all before taking her seat.

Xinyan urged her sister-in-law to sit and scooped up her tiny niece Han Feifei, "Feifei, did you miss your auntie?"

Su Aihong got her second daughter-in-law comfortable and stretched to grab her granddaughter, "Tell your aunt how much Feifei missed you—she forgot all about it."

Laughter erupted from the group.

Xinyan clung to her little niece, reluctant to let go, "Auntie’s been super busy lately and couldn’t visit our Feifei, but she’s thought of her constantly and even got her some new outfits."

Su Aihong giggled while lifting her granddaughter from Xinyan’s hold, "Feifei gets fresh clothes now."

She guided her granddaughter’s small hand, "Say to Auntie, thank you, auntie."

Han Jingchen presented each young family member in turn, and once greetings were shared, they all sat down.

Old Madam Gu, Tao Shuqing, softly questioned Xinyan, "Yanyan, where’s Jinxuan? I haven’t spotted him."

Xinyan murmured to her grandma, "Grandma, he’s out on a driving job. He knew you were returning to the capital and hoped to be here, but the textile factory insisted on his team."

Old Madam Gu nodded approvingly, "Duty before all."

Xinyan beamed, "He’ll rush to visit you the moment he returns."

Old Madam Gu felt deeply pleased with He Jinxuan, her granddaughter’s spouse. He might not chat much, but his hard work, orderliness, and above all, his kind treatment of her granddaughter shone through.

Han Jingchen lifted his glass, offered opening remarks, and the meal kicked off as everyone dug in.

Laughter and happiness filled the room.
