Chapter 1444

Ye Yaodong called the three children to his side and told them to greet the people.

"How is this little fatty learning the erhu?"

Ye Xiaoxi stomped her feet as if her tail had been stepped on and retorted, "I'm not a little fatty!"

"Hahaha, yes yes yes, not a little fatty, but a little artist."

She was satisfied with this title and was immediately happy.

She proudly raised her chin, "Grandpa praised me for being smart and knowing how to play."

"Oh~ knowing how to play, then play one for me when you go back tonight."

She acted coy, "I don't know how to play, I only know how to play around."

"Hahaha."

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "She only recognizes a few strings, learns today and forgets tomorrow, playing blindly, it's all noise. If you want to hear her play the erhu, I guess you'll have to wait 10 years to see if it's possible."

Ye Xiaoxi slipped away directly.

The whole family chatted while ordering dishes.

The children were all gathered by the window, how could they be willing to sit down now, anyway, the dishes hadn't been served, the adults didn't care about them, just watching them squeeze together, stretching their necks to look out the window, and then chattering away.

Even though it wasn't dark yet, they were watching the people below with great interest.

The adults were also chatting enthusiastically.

Director Chen was also very familiar with their family, everyone chatted very harmoniously, and wouldn't feel constrained.

In a while, Hong Wenle also came, and with one more person who could chat, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.

At this time, the children by the window yelled, "Ah! It's raining!"

"It's raining!"

Everyone looked over.

Lin Xiuqing hurriedly got up and walked towards them, "It's raining? Then it won't be good to watch tonight."

"Ah~" Ye Xiaoxi hugged her leg and acted like a spoiled child, "I want to watch, I want to watch."

"It's raining, what can I do? God doesn't listen to me. Just wait and see, it's not dark yet, maybe it'll be fine after a little rain, or we can just wear raincoats and straw capes as usual."

Ye Xiaoxi pouted, supporting her chin with both hands, her elbows resting on the windowsill, "Hmph, annoying!"

"It's fortunate I watched it last year, it was so beautiful last year, Dad kept holding me, and later he lifted me onto his neck to watch, there were so many people, and it was down below, it was so fun, too many people, too lively."

Ye Chengyang recalled last year, starlight shining in his eyes.

He also recalled going to the city last year, his parents only brought him, taking care of him the whole time, making him feel unprecedented importance.

Plus the excitement of the Lantern Festival, these were things he would remember for a lifetime.

He muttered about the scene of going to the city again.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Xiaoxi turned their heads and looked at him jealously.

"Don't follow me to school tomorrow, you go your way, I'll go mine."

Ye Xiaoxi also said: "I will never call you Ye Erge again, you are the person I hate the most now."

Ye Chengyang raised his chin, looking proud, he didn't care about them.

"Dad and Mom both love me so much, when we went back they even held me on their laps, letting me sleep in their arms, Mom's embrace is so fragrant and soft and so good to sleep in."

"I'll sleep with them tonight! I want to sleep with them every day, just sleep in the middle of them!" Ye Xiaoxi shouted with her hands on her hips, not wanting to fall behind.

Lin Xiuqing: "......"

Ye Yaodong also looked over.

After Ye Xiaoxi received Ye Yaodong's gaze, she immediately ran towards him, "Dad, I want to go down, I want to ride on your neck, I want to go down and ride on your neck."

"What for?"

"Ye Erge said he sat on your neck to watch the excitement last year, I want to too."

Lin Xiuqing said: "It's raining outside now."

Ye Yaodong coaxed: "It's raining, we can't go, it's better to stay upstairs and watch, no need to go down and squeeze with people."

"No, it's only fun when there are many people down there."

"Then you'll have to go down and get rained on, and when you catch a cold you'll have to get an injection again, were you afraid of that big needle last time?"

Ye Xiaoxi shrank back, "Scared, scared."

"So just watch here, and you can watch all the people below turn into drowned rats."

"Haha, drowned rats..." She giggled and laughed again.

A child's face is like the weather, cloudy one moment and sunny the next, and I don't know what poked her funny bone, making her excited again.

Ye Yaodong added, "Last time when we went to the city to watch the circus, didn't you sit on my neck? Your brothers didn't have this treatment, only you sat on my neck to watch the circus."

Ye Xiaoxi thought about it and felt it was true!

She had also sat on her dad's neck to watch the excitement!

Instantly, she was satisfied and fulfilled, immediately running and shouting at Ye Chenghu: "Brother, only you have no one who wants you!"

"Ye Erge rode on Dad's neck, I also rode on Dad's neck to watch the circus, only you don't have it, only you have no one who wants you!"

That was heartbreaking!

Ye Chenghu also reacted, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he was about to cry.

Ye Chengyang was still adding insult to injury on the side, "Brother said he wanted to sit on the float but didn't get to!"

"Shut up!"

Ye Xiaoxi moved with small steps to Ye Chengyang's side and whispered: "Is Brother angry?"

"He didn't get to touch anything..." Ye Chengyang also lowered his head and muttered to her, but his voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

But he saw Ye Chenghu's fists clenched tight, so he immediately shut his mouth and also covered Ye Xiaoxi's mouth.

"Wow, it's dark, is it starting soon?"

The brother and sister were immediately distracted, hurriedly crowding to the window, lining up from high to low, putting their heads on the window to look out, not even needing to eat.

It was only when Lin Xiuqing kept emphasizing to them that it wouldn't start until 7 o'clock that they reluctantly returned to the table to eat.

The dining table with children was even more lively, Ye Yaodong called out, letting the three of them take soda to toast everyone.

They seemed to have received an imperial decree, constantly pouring soda for themselves, and then taking turns to toast.

Everyone went from laughing and smiling at the beginning to being miserable later on.

Hong Wenle was especially taken care of by Ye Xiaoxi.

"Still coming? It's me again? My goodness, this is the 5th cup, right?"

Ye Xiaoxi opened her big blinking eyes, holding the cup and looking at him, "Drink, Big Brother drink."

"I told you to call me Uncle, do you know? This is the last cup, okay?"

She nodded.

But after he finished drinking, she filled it up for herself again, and raised it towards Hong Wenle again, "Little Uncle......"

Hong Wenle's face collapsed, his features wrinkled into a ball, "Didn't you say it was the last cup?"

"Ah? You told me to call you Uncle, and then I nodded."

Everyone laughed out loud.

Ye Yaodong asked with a smile: "Why do you keep toasting him?"

"Because he is the second best-looking, Dad you are the best-looking."

"Hahaha, you're so small and you know who is good-looking and who is not?"

She was very proud, "Of course, Dad you are the best-looking in the whole village."

Ye Yaodong was coaxed into being overjoyed, but in a while he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Little Uncle is the second best-looking, so when I grow up, I want to marry him."

Ye Yaodong's alarm bells rang instantly!

And everyone at the dining table had already bent over with laughter.

"Hahaha, oh my god, I'm dying of laughter, so you want to marry me, that's why you keep asking me to drink?"

"Haha, this little fatty is still looking at faces?"

Ye Xiaoxi didn't know what everyone was laughing at, so she just giggled along.

"I wanted to marry Dad, but Dad said I couldn't marry him, and I couldn't marry my brothers, so then I'll marry this fair-skinned uncle!"

"Fair-skinned!?" Hong Wenle raised his eyebrows.

Ye Mu hurriedly covered her mouth, "She just sees that you are fair, fairer than her dad, her dad used to be very fair, so her dad was also called fair-skinned."

It was fortunate she was sitting next to this girl, otherwise it would have all been spilled.

After Ye Mu finished speaking, she scolded her, "You can't be so impolite, call him Uncle if you want to call him Uncle, you can't call him fair-skinned uncle."

Ye Xiaoxi's mouth was covered, staring with clear and innocent eyes.

"Alright, let's go watch the excitement after eating, I guess the lanterns are about to start."

Ye Xiaoxi hurriedly slid off the stool, having no time to care about the fair-skinned uncle.

Hong Wenle joked with a smile, "Hey, do you think I should give the betrothal gift in advance now?"

Ye Yaodong's face sank directly, "Forget about the betrothal gift, why don't you call me Dad now, and I'll give you a red envelope first."

"Oh, damn..."

"Call me now!" Ye Yaodong started digging into his pocket.

Lin Xiuqing laughed to death, patting him a few times.

Ye Yaodong remained unmoved, "Is 8.8 enough? If not, 18.8."

"Damn... have some shame..."

"You're the one who has no shame, you're old and you're not married, you pervert."

"I'll send the wedding candy to your house tomorrow, otherwise you'll have to guard against me not letting me visit."

"Are you really sending wedding candy?"

"Yes, getting engaged in a few days."

Ye Yaodong nimbly took the money back, "Then I won't give you the change-of-address fee, I'll save it to give a red envelope another day."

"Damn, dying of laughter."

If he wasn't his son-in-law, they could still chat properly.

Hong Wenle stayed for a while and then went out, and then not long after, he brought a few middle-aged people in.

According to the introduction, they were leaders in the town, who knew Director Chen had come here and all ran over to toast and sit for a while.

Ye Fu had never eaten at the same table with so many leaders in his life, and his hands and feet had nowhere to be placed.

"Dongzi, so many leaders..."

Ye Mu glared at him and whispered: "Be calm, don't leaders also have two eyes and one mouth, they still have to chat and laugh with us."

Ye Fu's back straightened instantly, "Right! They're even toasting me."

"We just sit and smile."

"Like a Buddha!"

Ye Mu stepped on his foot hard, secretly glaring at him.

Ye Fu gasped, but the smile on his face didn't dare change, and only after recovering did he say: "If I had known, I would have let you bring the gold necklace and gold ring today for me to wear."

Ye Mu slapped his thigh hard, "Right! Oh, should have brought all the gold, what a pity."

Ye Fu secretly touched his thigh under the table, glanced at her, with an indescribable expression.

The two old people were winking and whispering, and the movement fell into Ye Yaodong's eyes; Ye Yaodong just pretended not to see it, and smiled as he introduced the old lady first.

The old lady stood up with some trepidation, fortunately Lin Xiuqing was sitting next to her and helped her.

She smiled and pointed to her ears, "I'm deaf, hard of hearing... you eat, you drink, don't worry about me..."

After speaking, she sat down again.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh.

Others were also happy.

The old lady could be considered to have gained experience in pretending.

Everyone knew her ears were very good, only those who had just come didn't know.

After the old lady sat down, she also heaved a sigh of relief, muttering softly: Amitabha... Amitabha... not coming out next time...

When it was Ye Fu and Ye Mu's turn, the two old people were glowing, standing up to drink very actively.

Ye Yaodong knew that after his parents returned to the village, they would have more to brag about.
