Chapter 268: Er Da Ye and Liang Ladi Move to a New Home
While walking and thinking about these things, Yang Qing all the way returned to the Siheyuan.
Just arrived at the back courtyard, I saw Er Da Ye and Liang Ladi's family moving things.
It looks like the house has been repaired.
A crowd of people had gathered in the courtyard.
After they saw Yang Qing, they all made way.
"Yang Qing has arrived."
Second Aunt waved her hand, letting Yang Qing come over.
"Thank you, Yang Qing, this house has been repaired wonderfully."
Yang Qing, his face darkening, said softly.
"Second Aunt, you said you wanted to keep a low profile, didn't you?"
Second Aunt froze, her face turning a bit stiff.
"In my excitement I forgot a bit, but everyone who came over are from our courtyard."
"It's not a problem."
"Come in and take a look."
Pulling Yang Qing inside, Second Aunt began introducing the house.
"Downstairs there is a living room and two bedrooms."
"Upstairs there are two more bedrooms."
"This way, our family will have enough space to live."
Yang Qing gave a casual glance, nodding repeatedly.
"Not bad, not bad, this way you won't have any housing worries."
"Tell Liu Guang Qi about this; if he finds excuses not to come back at year's end, you can go to his factory to report the situation."
"Not coming home for years is too much."
Second Aunt chuckled.
"Guang Qi said he would come back this year."
"I was wondering why Second Aunt was so happy today; it turns out she settled things with Liu Guang Qi."
Yang Qing stepped out of Second Aunt's door and saw Nan Yi.
He was moving various items into the side room.
Yang Qing felt a surge of curiosity.
"Nan Yi, have you moved over?"
Nan Yi chuckled.
"I just got the certificate yesterday; from now on I'll be living in the Siheyuan, please look after me."
Yang Qing quickly congratulated him.
"Congratulations, congratulations, happy newlywed life."
Nan Yi's deadpan face squeezed out a brilliant smile.
"Thank you, thank you."
At that moment Liang Ladi came out.
Seeing Yang Qing chatting with Nan Yi, she came over in a carefree manner.
"Yang Qing, remember to come home early tomorrow; we two are preparing a feast."
"Nan Yi will cook himself."
"Try his cooking; it's no worse than yours."
Yang Qing laughed and agreed.
"Sure, I'll definitely make it tomorrow."
"Going to the city tomorrow, one day should be enough; I can come back early in the afternoon."
"Vegetables, the courtyard really doesn't lack them; later when Chen Hong gets off work, I'll have her bring some over."
"Hearing that Liang Ladi was going to set out a feast, the people around had varied expressions."
"Jia Zhangshi just opened her mouth and spoke."
"We'll need several more meat dishes; we can't just use our own vegetables to offset your gift money, can we?"
"Then we'll be at a loss."
"Liang Ladi, you only moved in later, haven't really given any gifts yet, and you're already taking gift money; you can't be stingy."
"Hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Nan Yi quickly assured."
"No, no, fish and meat must not be lacking; we have to let everyone eat well."
Liang Ladi gave him a white-eye look.
"Alright, since we're on this topic, I'll formally announce it here to everyone."
"Tomorrow we will hold our wedding banquet."
"Everyone come to show support; there will be plenty of melon seeds and candy."
"Although she is remarried, she doesn't feel inferior."
"As long as one lives a down-to-earth life, what's the problem?"
"She knows there are many people here who will secretly say she's a remarried woman, making such a big fuss, showing off."
"She is just showing off."
"Nan Yi is still a bachelor; not holding a wedding for him would make her feel uneasy."
As Yang Qing walked past this group of old women, he heard their muttered complaints.
"Tomorrow we'll have a good meal, this is all our own money,"
"Who says no? Using our family's money to treat us, we still have to say something good about her."
"Liang Ladi is really good at calculating."
"Why not learn from Yang Qing and Xu Damao? They married once and couldn't even hold a wedding; now on their second marriage, what face do they have to hold a banquet?"
"Just want to collect money, what else could it be for?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Hey, you say, at San Da Ye's place, we also gave gifts; when will they host a meal for guests?"
"San Da Ye? You expect San Da Ye to treat you to a meal?"
"What are you thinking? They just said that casually, and you took it seriously."
"Why did San Da Ye have Yan Jie Cheng get married back then? Just to collect gifts and make a profit, then ditch the wedding banquet."
"Holding a wedding banquet, just buying meat costs several tens, plus alcohol and dishes, altogether it's at least a little over a hundred."
"If they get away with it, it's equivalent to San Da Ye making a hundred."
"Hahaha…"
San Da Ma was listening on the other side.
The matter of Liang Ladi holding a wedding banquet made her face sink slightly.
Back when they collected gifts, they had said they would make up the wedding banquet.
Now Liang Ladi has started this, making it difficult for them.
So when she looked at Liang Ladi, she felt a bit resentful.
"Having children is no big deal."
Yang Qing found it quite amusing, afraid that San Da Ye wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Not bothering with these matters anymore, Yang Qing returned home.
The peach and pear blossoms have begun to fade, and the fragrance filling the courtyard has faded considerably.
This year there should be plenty of fruit to eat.
The grape vines have also climbed all over the trellis, sheets of lush green leaves lush and dewy, giving off a faint grape scent.
When the breeze blows, it makes a rustling sound.
In the courtyard, the old lady was lying on the rocking chair, slightly tipsy.
Rou Dan lay in the cradle, sleeping soundly.
Beside the cradle were Dahua and Xiaohua, guarding their little master.
The old lady's spirits were not what they used to be; otherwise she wouldn't fall asleep while watching the child.
Yang Qing felt a bit heavy-hearted, so he didn't disturb her, but instead picked up Rou Dan and went inside.
Dahua and Xiaohua, seeing Yang Qing take the person away, all ran onto the old lady and dozed off.
Being picked up, Rou Dan opened his eyes.
But he was lazy and didn't cry out.
He must have fallen asleep in the sun and gone limp.
Yang Qing put him on the bed, and after resting for half a day he gradually regained energy.
He took the bottle, mixed the formula, Yang Qing spent half a day fussing, tested the temperature, then gave the bottle to his son.
Rou Dan grabbed the bottle and drank heartily.
Yang Qing then sat at his desk, began to organize his thoughts, preparing to go tomorrow and argue with Wang Deqiang.
He waited until Chen Hong got off work, then the old lady woke up, and Yang Qing also figured out what he wanted.
Rou Dan had been well-behaved, but upon seeing Chen Hong he burst into wailing cries.
As if he had suffered a great injustice.
Chen Hong gave Yang Qing a fierce stare, then picked up Rou Dan and started to soothe him.
One moment he wants to touch this, the next moment he wants to touch that.
The iron ring on the cabinet was knocked, making a clanging sound.
Then he laughed loudly.
Why did this happen?
Because Yang Qing never takes him out to explore the world.
And after Chen Hong was coaxed by Yang Qing, she took on the task of letting Rou Dan explore the world.
So he doesn't dare to misbehave around Yang Qing, but when he sees Chen Hong he dares to really mess with her.
But now Rou Dan has become quite sturdy, able to withstand the roughhousing.
When Chen Hong takes Rou Dan out to explore the world, she starts treating him like a ball to play with.
If Chen Feng were here he would surely shout, "Here it comes, again!"
