My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 448: A Visit to the Han Family

Early in the morning, Han Chunming was urged to get up by his mother.

He lay in bed complaining, "Mom, what time is it?"

Han's mother scolded her impatiently, "Sleep, sleep, all you do is sleep! Don't you know what day it is today? Get up right now, or I'll spank you!"

Han Chunming quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I'll get up right away."

As soon as Han Chunming sat up, he saw that his second sister, Han Chunyan, was already dressed up beautifully. He immediately teased, "Second sister, why are you dressed up so beautifully today? Who are you trying to impress?"

Seeing Han Chunming's irresponsible behavior, Han Chunyan became a little angry: "Go away, go away, it's not for you to see anyway."

Seeing Han Chunming's nonchalant attitude, Han's mother picked up a broom and lightly tapped his bottom: "Sit down and eat quickly, then go buy me groceries after you finish eating."

Han Chunming quickly shoveled the rice in his bowl, finishing it in a few bites, and then reached out his hand: "Mom, where's the money?"

Han's mother looked at Han Chunming, carefully counted the money in her hand, and repeatedly instructed, "Xiao Wuzi, make sure you keep a close eye on the money. Buy me all the meat and vegetables, and don't let anything delay you."

Han Chunming smiled and looked at his mother: "Mom, can you give me an extra 50 cents?"

Han's mother glared at him: "Go away, go away. You still haven't paid me back the fifty cents I gave you the day before yesterday, and you want it again today."

Han Chunming pleaded, "Mom, I really have something to do."

Han's mother was adamant: "No, not a single cent. You'd better get out of here right now."

At this moment, Han Chunyan, who was standing to the side, gave her younger brother Han Chunming a disapproving look. Han Chunming immediately understood and quickly ran away to wait for his second sister in the yard.

Han Chunyan quickly walked up to him and asked, "Are you asking Mom for money again? What for? Is it to buy something for that Su Meng again?"

Han Chunming laughed and explained, "Second sister, no, really no, I just wanted to buy something myself."

Han Chunyan took out her own money from her pocket and handed it to Han Chunming: "Spend it sparingly."

Han Chunming happily accepted the money, repeatedly expressing his gratitude: "My second sister is the best to me!"

On the other side, there's courtyard house number 89.

Zhang Lei got dressed with Ye Shuqin's help. Ye Shuqin looked at him and carefully instructed him, "I've put everything you need on your bicycle for today's trip to Han Chunyan's house. See if you need anything else, and I'll have someone go buy it."

Zhang Lei reached out and gently flicked Ye Shuqin's nose, smiling as he said, "No need, I believe my wife's arrangements are the best."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuqin's face instantly flushed red: "You're just trying to flatter me."

Zhang Lei hugged Ye Shuqin and kissed her: "I'm not just trying to comfort you, I love you so much."

Seeing his unserious behavior, Ye Shuqin gently nudged him: "Alright, stop fooling around, dress properly."

After saying that, she joked, "From now on, please bring fewer of your girlfriends for me, and I'll be happy. This house is almost overflowing with people."

Zhang Lei looked at Ye Shuqin and promised with a smile, "Definitely, definitely. Next time I like someone, I'll make sure you're satisfied first before I bring her back."

Not long after, Zhang Lei arrived at the Han family's house on his bicycle.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house, he saw Han Chunyan waiting there. Zhang Lei quickly pushed his bicycle and walked over.

Looking at the bicycle piled high with stuff, Han Chunyan muttered under her breath, "Why did you bring so much stuff again? Didn't I tell you to just take a little?"

Zhang Lei explained with a smile, "There's nothing I can do, your sister Shuqin asked me to bring this."

He leaned closer to Han Chunyan and asked in a low voice, "Did you miss me?"

Han Chunyan's cheeks flushed, and she urged, "Alright, let's go."

Zhang Lei stood still: "I won't leave unless you tell me."

Having no other choice, Han Chunyan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I've thought about it, okay?"

Zhang Lei was finally satisfied and followed Han Chunyan into the Han family's house.

Before they even reached the door, Han Chunming shouted, "Mom, my sister is here with some people!"

Looking at the loud and boisterous Han Chunming, Han's mother frowned and said, "Alright, what kind of behavior is this, shouting like that?"

Zhang Lei entered the living room and, with Han Chunyan's introduction, greeted the Han family members one by one before placing the gifts he brought on the table.

Han's mother smiled and said to Han Chunyan, "Chunyan, quickly let Zhang Lei sit down. Zhang Lei, you must be tired from the journey?"

Zhang Lei quickly replied, "Not tired at all."

Seeing Han Chunyan's sister-in-law bring him water, he immediately stood up and took it with both hands, saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

The sister-in-law smiled and waved her hand, "It's just a little boiled water, I'm glad you don't mind."

Han's mother looked Zhang Lei up and down carefully and asked, "Zhang Lei, how old are you this year? What do your parents do?"

Zhang Lei recounted his situation in detail.

Han's mother said with emotion, "It must have been really tough for you to build such a large business all by yourself. You've worked so hard."

Zhang Lei said with a smile, "I don't feel tired anymore, it's all in the past. Now there are many people in my family, it's lively."

At this moment, the eldest brother, Han Chunsong, coughed lightly and said, "Zhang Lei, we know about you and my sister. We called you here today to introduce you to the family. Although you are capable, my second sister has been loved and cherished since she was a child. We only hope that she will be happy and find a good home."

Zhang Lei immediately and solemnly declared, "Brother, don't worry. If Chunyan marries me, I will absolutely cherish her and treat her like a precious gem. I will give her whatever she wants, as long as it's within my power, and I will never let her be tired or suffer any injustice."

Hearing this, Han Chunyan looked at her older brother with some reproach: "Brother, what are you doing? Zhang Lei just arrived, and you're already saying this."

Han Chunsong laughed and joked, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. You little rascal, you're not even married yet, and you're already siding with outsiders."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this. Zhang Lei then gently patted Han Chunyan's hand, who was standing behind him.

Seeing this, Han's mother smiled and said, "Now that we've talked things out, Zhang Lei, I agree to your relationship with Chunyan. As long as you and Chunyan are happy together, I don't ask for anything else."

Han Chunyan looked at her mother and said sweetly, "Mom, Zhang Lei and I will definitely be fine."

Soon, Han's mother brought the prepared food to the table, and the family sat down together to eat.

Han Chunming sat down next to Zhang Lei and whispered, "Brother-in-law, thank you for finding me a job."

Zhang Lei smiled and nodded: "Don't be so polite, we're all family."

Speaking of work, the eldest sister, Han Chunxue, looked at Han Chunyan and asked, "Chunyan, how's your work going?"

Han Chunyan subconsciously looked at Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei immediately slapped his forehead, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her: "Chunyan, you insisted on going to work before, so I helped you arrange a job in the publicity department of the steel rolling mill. What do you think? The monthly salary is a little over thirty yuan. Although it's not much, it's a formal job at least, and the work is easy. You're capable of doing it."

Everyone crowded around to look at the work certificate in Han Chunyan's hand. Her second brother, Han Chunsheng, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Chunyan, it's true! She works in the publicity department of the steel rolling mill!"

Han's mother was overjoyed: "Chunyan, this is wonderful! You finally have a job!"

She then looked at Zhang Lei and thanked him repeatedly, "Zhang Lei, how can I possibly thank you enough?"
