Chapter 1716 Bragging
The house became noticeably more lively as soon as they returned. They started making noise as soon as they sat down, with the older children and the younger ones joining in.
The old lady happily went in and out, busily preparing food for them. Before they had even finished eating, she was already adding more food to their bowls with a large spoon.
"Eat more, you'll have energy when you're full."
"We don't work in the fields."
"A full stomach gives you the energy to argue."
"Hahaha……"
Ye Chenghe returned from who-knows-where, riding Ye Yaodong's motorcycle, and rushed in to greet him as soon as he arrived at the door.
"You are all back?"
Ye Xiaoxi said loudly, "That's right, we're coming back for the banquet and to receive red envelopes!"
The twins echoed like beetles, "Yes, get the red envelope!"
"Yes! We'll have them all, everyone will get one!"
After Ye Chenghe finished speaking with a smile, he patted Ye Chengjiang on the shoulder and said, "That's really something. Even those who said they wouldn't come back have come back."
"I'm back to collect my red envelope too!"
"Get lost! You're older than me, and you still want a red envelope!"
"My mom said that as long as they're not married, they're still children, so I'll sit at the same table with them!"
"Think beautifully!"
When is your brother coming back?
“My brother is busy; he won’t be back until the day before the full moon.”
"So busy! You seem even busier than Uncle San! Uncle San and Aunt San came back with us!"
“That’s different. My older brother is still in the early stages of starting his business and has to do everything himself, so of course he’s busy. My third uncle has already succeeded in his business and is stable. There are people to do the work, so you can free up some time.”
"I'll call him later and urge him to come back!"
"Whatever you want, call out if you want."
Pei Yu interjected, "Cousin, when will my little nephew wake up?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, all he does all day is eat and sleep. Now he's awake for a bit longer, but before he just slept all day long."
"Then I won't wait for my nephew anymore, I'm going out to play." Ye Xiaoxi put down her chopsticks and ran off first.
Others also came out one after another, and then ran out to call their friends, and the room was suddenly half empty.
I called for my little nephew as soon as I got back, but now it seems he's nothing special. I've completely forgotten about him. I really miss my friends.
The old lady smiled as she cleared away their empty bowls and chopsticks, then instructed Ye Chengjiang, "When you're finished eating, go and call your parents over. I've cooked a big pot of food; tell them not to rush to pack their luggage, but to come and eat first."
“I’m not going. If I go, they’ll scold me again. Let Chenghe go. He’s just coming back to celebrate his son’s one-month birthday anyway. It’s his place as the main character.”
“Your parents want you to learn from me! Find someone sooner so you can give them a grandson sooner. You have no idea how cute my son is, such a tiny, soft little bundle, waving his arms wildly when he cries…”
Ye Chengjiang quickly reached out and covered his ears.
"What are you doing?"
"I don't want to hear it! No matter how cute I am, I won't get married or have children. I'm still a child myself!"
"I'll bring my son out for you to see..."
"Didn't you say you were sleeping? If you dare to take him out, your mother will beat you to death. I'm going out for a walk. You go back to your room and be a good father."
After finishing his sentence, Ye Chengjiang quickly slipped away, otherwise he would have to stay and listen to Ye Chenghe talk about his son.
Excessive!
Having a son is nothing special!
When he gets married in the future, he'll have three or five children, outshining them all!
"Third Uncle, do you want to go see my son? He looks just like me..."
"No way? If someone looks like you, like you in every way, then we're doomed."
Ye Chenghe raised his voice, "What do you mean? Who are you looking down on?!"
Ye Yaodong scanned him from head to toe, then chuckled twice, stood up, and walked over to his side.
"I've finished eating. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed now."
"..."
hateful!
So what if he's tall? What's wrong with him being short?
He got married young!
My first child was a son!
Ye Yaodong stretched, picked up his luggage and went back to his room. After eating his fill, he needed to wash up and then go back to bed for a good rest.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with Ye Chenghe, inquiring about the child's condition. After tidying up the dishes with the old lady, she went over to take a look.
She's in postpartum confinement there, so it's inconvenient for men to go over, but it's more convenient for women.
However, she didn't go into the postpartum room. People were still in the postpartum period there, and ordinary people wouldn't go in. Nowadays, there's a saying that postpartum rooms are unclean.
At most, they'd glance at the door, exchange a few words, and then bring the child out for the visiting relatives to see.
Lin Xiuqing did the same. She stood at the door, offered a few words of comfort, handed over a red envelope, hugged the child, praised him a few times, and then went back inside.
She's still in her postpartum period, so it's best not to disturb them for too long.
Mr. Ye had been watching with a smile from the doorway, and when the child was brought out, he also took a hug.
She returned to the house, and Ye Yaodong had also finished showering and lay down.
"Have you seen the child?"
"I saw him, held him for a bit, and he looked around with his round eyes. It's been a long time since I've held such a small baby. He's quite cute."
"Take a break after you've seen it all. You must be tired after sitting on the boat for so long."
Why don't you ask who the child resembles?
"Who else could they resemble, with daughters resembling their fathers and sons resembling their mothers? They certainly wouldn't resemble Chenghe."
Lin Xiuqing chuckled, "Yes, she looks more like Xiuni. My parents always say she looks like Chenghe, and my older brother and sister-in-law also keep praising her, saying she looks like Chenghe here and there, they keep saying it."
Ye Yaodong laughed too, "Of course he feels like his own son no matter what. Chenghe has been saying how much the child looks like him."
"The first child of the next generation is naturally precious, and they feel like family."
"Clean up and go to sleep."
Lin Xiuqing nodded, tidied up her clothes for washing up, and said, "They disappeared as soon as they came back. I don't know where they get so much energy. They don't seem tired and can still run around outside."
"Don't worry about them. It's good that we're not sleeping now, so we can go to bed earlier tonight."
"You go to sleep first, I'm going to take a shower too."
The house had been tidied up inside and out in advance, and even their beds had been made up by Ye's mother in advance so they could lie down as soon as they got back.
Ye Yaodong could still smell the sun-dried scent; it felt comfortable to hug.
The bedding on the ship all smelled fishy and musty. No matter how clean it was, it would spoil within a day of being left on the ship. But there was nothing we could do but make do.
They arrived home today on the 18th of the lunar calendar, and there are still four days until the full moon celebration on the 22nd, but the invitations have already been sent out.
These past two days, relatives have been coming over early to give red envelopes. There's a constant flow of people coming and going next door.
The main thing is that even after they come and give red envelopes, they won't leave immediately. They'll chat for a bit, have some casual conversation, and compliment each other. Plus, his mother and sister-in-law are both very talkative, so their family has become quite popular in the village these past two years.
Often, before one person leaves, another arrives, or they come in groups. With the neighbors chatting and exchanging a few words, the house becomes incredibly lively.
The children in the family also run around and make noise everywhere, so they only have playmates during school hours and have to play by themselves.
Only at times like these do they remember their little nephew and run to Ye Chenghe's house, chattering and asking to watch the child.
"My little nephew is so small, his hands are so tiny..."
"Is Ah Hai about to have a baby? Is my eldest cousin's wife's belly very big?"
"My sister-in-law's belly was only a little big during the Chinese New Year!"
"It must be huge now!"
"Brother Hai and Brother Chenghe both have children, when will Brother Jiang have children?"
"My brother doesn't even have a wife, so where would he get children?"
"When is Brother Jiang going to find a wife?"
“Even you guys are urging him to get married, Ajiang would be scared away if he heard that,” Ye Chenghe joked. “I only saw him on the first day, and I haven’t seen a trace of him for the past two days. I wonder where he’s gone or which corner he’s hiding in?”
“My brother comes home late every night reeking of smoke and sleeps during the day. My mother is furious with him.”
"I heard it. I've been hearing my second aunt cursing at the door since this morning."
Ye Chengyang said, "I know where he went. His friends came to call him last night. I heard them say that they went ice skating at the rink last night!"
Ye Xiuxiu's eyes widened. "I want to go too! My brother didn't even tell me. That's so unfair of him. He went secretly without taking us!"
"He'll be out until the early hours of the morning. You're a girl, you can't go there, it's too chaotic."
"I'm an adult now..."
"We still can't go."
She reached out and grabbed Ye Chengyang's ear. "You're so much younger than me, and you're already telling me what to do? You won't even let me go?"
“I’m younger than you, but I’m a man. You girls aren’t allowed to go there. It’s full of lecherous men with ill intentions.”
Ye Tingting chuckled, "I'm going to tell my brother that you're calling him a dog of a man!"
Ye Chengyang said matter-of-factly, "That's right. Your brother is definitely no good. He went to the skating rink and didn't come back until the early hours of the morning. He must have been holding a girl's hand while skating!"
"No wonder he doesn't want to find a partner or get married, turns out he changes partners every day!" Ye Chenghe complained while expressing his envy.
"I didn't say that! I didn't say that!"
Ye Xiuxiu: "Isn't that what you meant?"
"No, I only said he takes girls ice skating with him every day, not that he's dating someone every day."
"Oh no, so the girl he's been holding hands with every day isn't his girlfriend? What a scumbag! He's a pervert! No wonder he said his friends are all bad, my brother is definitely no better, a pervert too!"
Ye Chenghe nodded in strong agreement, "That's right, your brother is no good!"
Ye Xiuxiu continued to pull Ye Chengyang's ear, "How do you know so much? Did you go to the skating rink too?"
"When I was in Shanghai, I went there with my classmates on a weekend during the day. The music inside was louder than thunder, and the guys would hold the girls' hands while skating. They would fall down together every now and then and hug each other shamelessly!"
"You little brat, you're going?"
“I’m already 13, and I went with my classmates and played with them.”
Ye Chengyang finally slapped her hand away, freeing his ear, and quickly moved three steps away from her.
Then she leaned over to Ye Chenghe and said obsequiously, "Brother, when are you going ice skating? Let me know! I'm really good at it too. We've been skating at the playground since we were kids!"
"When I'm happy."
Hearing the commotion, Ye Chengjiang slowly walked over. He looked haggard, with dull eyes, clearly having just woken up and not having had enough sleep.
"What are you arguing about all day long?"
"You look like you've just woken up after doing something thieving. If I hadn't seen you on the first day, I would have thought you hadn't come back."
"What thief? I was just out late with my friends."
"You look like you've gone to become a womanizer."
"Nonsense."
"When you were ice skating, didn't you ever hold hands with this girl, teach that girl, or hold onto a girl's waist while skating? Or did you let a girl hold onto your waist while skating?" Ye Chenghe said sourly.
"Hey, they're all still young, don't talk nonsense."
Ye Xiaoxi said loudly, "We're all grown up now, we know everything. You change partners every day, that's why you don't want to get married."
"Bullshit, I'm perfectly clean-living. I'm just going out to have some fun with friends. After the full moon celebration tomorrow, I'll stay for a couple more days at most before leaving. If I don't take advantage of this time to have a good get-together with my friends, when will I?"
Ye Chenghe rolled his eyes. "Now I know why you don't find a partner or get married, you scumbag!"
"Tch, you just be a good man, a good husband, and a good father. Don't envy me. I don't have a girlfriend or a wife, so I can do whatever I want." Ye Chengjiang said smugly.
Anyway, the social atmosphere is becoming more and more open now. Unlike a few years ago, when dating without the intention of marriage was considered immoral, now the freedom to date is encouraged, and young people can date freely.
"Who envies you? I have a wife and kids, do you? I have a cute son, do you? By the time my son is old enough to run errands, you'll probably still be a bachelor!"
"So what! I'm single and I'm proud of it!"
"Go ahead and tell your mother!"
"My mother is the same here!"
Suddenly, Sister-in-law Ye stood at the door with her hands on her hips and shouted, "You coffin-headed bastard, you're going to piss me off! You're proud of being a bachelor?"
"Mom, don't worry. After I get married, I'll give you a lot more grandsons than Ye Chenghe. You won't be able to take care of them all, and you'll be grinning from ear to ear."
Ye Chenghe scoffed, "You're just bragging!"
"I'm just letting you guys get ahead of me now, getting married and having children first. I'll catch up sooner or later."
After saying that, he looked at Sister-in-law Ye and said, "Your son is tall, handsome, and rich. You're worried that I won't find a wife. It's just a matter of time! It all depends on whether I want to find one!"
"I just haven't met the right one yet. Once I find someone with good conditions who can have children, I'll be someone you can brag about all the time."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely make sure you have two children in three years and three in five! You'll surpass Ah Hai and Cheng He by yourself!"
Sister-in-law Ye's face softened after he coaxed her, "You're just bragging! You don't even have a boyfriend yet, and you're making it sound so sweet."
“It doesn’t happen now, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future.”
Ye Chenghe mocked him, "You should find a partner first. Watch me have two in three years and three in five!"
"If my eldest and second eldest brothers each have three children, then Brother Jiang, wouldn't you have to have seven to catch up?" Ye Jingjing asked curiously.
Ye Chengjiang was just bragging; I didn't think much of it.
"Children should not interrupt when adults are speaking."
