Chapter 1027: Seize the Moment, A Man Must Take the Initiative

On the other side, after Xinyan and He Jinxuan arrived at the Zhao Family, they received a warm welcome from them.

Today, coincidentally, Zhao Jianlan’s big brother and sister-in-law were also at home, and before long Zhao Jianlan’s father, Zhao Huaiqing, came back as well.

After greeting each other, without a word, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to work in the kitchen: "Jinxuan, you sit first, I’ll help stew the fish and be right over."

At this moment, Zhao Jianlan, holding Xinyan’s arm, smiled and said: "My dad’s fish is the best, have plenty later."

Xinyan smiled at her: "I’m just here for a visit, but it seems I’ve caused you some trouble, almost like a full family mobilization."

Zhao Jianlan casually picked up a tangerine from the plate: "Try this, the tangerines are very sweet."

Without allowing a refusal, she stuffed one into Xinyan’s hand, then got up and handed another to her sister-in-law, Feng Xiaoyan: "Sister-in-law, you try it too."

Feng Xiaoyan was not shy about it: "Where are these tangerines from?"

Zhao Jianlan, a bit shy, said: "They were brought back from the South by the motorcade, and I managed to get a share."

Xinyan, being very sharp, immediately sensed something was up, noticing that Sister-in-law Feng Xiaoyan didn’t catch on, so she quietly whispered to Zhao Jianlan, "What’s going on?"

Zhao Jianlan quickly looked up, wanting to ask ’how did you know?’ But remembering something, she hastily put a finger to her lips, making a ’shh’ gesture.

Xinyan nodded knowingly, seems they are still in a covert romance stage, she smiled and nodded at her.

She peeled the tangerine in her hand, took a piece and put it in her mouth: "Hmm, just the sweet and sour taste I like."

At this moment, Zhao Jianlan pushed the plate on the table toward the others: "Captain He, Big Brother, try some."

In this area, frozen pears are most common in winter, so it’s not easy to have tangerines, thinking of that person made her ears turn red.

Xinyan saw her like this, well, young love, she’s fallen in.

I wonder what kind of person the other is, reliable or not?

Across the table, Zhao Jianlan’s big brother reached out, took two tangerines, and placed them in He Jinxuan’s hand, indicating for him to try, and they chatted quite enthusiastically.

Zhao Jianhong kept inquiring about the current development of Beijing with excitement in his eyes.

In his excitement, he almost ate the tangerine like an apple, which amused his wife, Feng Xiaoyan: "You’re really something, didn’t hear Captain He say that the spring breeze of this reform reaching us might take a while, see how excited you get, almost ate the tangerine peel."

Zhao Jianhong was also a bit embarrassed: "I just got a bit carried away in my excitement."

By this time, Zhao Huaiqing finished preparing the fish stew and walked in: "I heard from Jianlan that you got engaged?"

He Jinxuan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it over: "Yes, we got engaged in the first month."

Next to him, Feng Xiaoyan, unaware of the situation, asked: "So when are you holding the wedding?"

He Jinxuan immediately turned to Xinyan, with a gentle smile: "This depends on Xinyan’s decision."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Zhao Huaiqing even patted He Jinxuan on the shoulder and said: "Well said."

But while Xinyan wasn’t paying attention, he whispered in He Jinxuan’s ear: "When it’s time to fight for it, you have to fight. A man must be proactive, waiting is for fools."

He Jinxuan discreetly gave Zhao Huaiqing a thumbs up, and then they both shared a knowing smile.

Zhao Huaiqing also started chatting with He Jinxuan about changes outside, touching on the current situation, and he knew his eldest son had always been waiting for a chance.

Through chatting with He Jinxuan, he believed it wouldn’t be long before his son’s dream could be realized.
