The family who had not seen each other for a long time forgot about the occasion and stood at the pier holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes. Ye Sanyong really couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Ye Zhenzhen's feelings: "Okay, okay, if you have anything to do, let's talk about it when we get back. People on the dock
There are so many people coming and going, and the weather is so hot, it’s really inconvenient.”
Ye Zhenzhen also felt that she was being pretentious, and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked sheepishly: "Third uncle, why are you here too? My little cousin is only half a year old, and it's hard for my third aunt to take care of her alone at home.
."
Yes, third aunt Mu Xia just gave birth to Ye Zhenzhen’s cousin last year. She and Hu baby were named Ye Daiming from generation to generation. She could not attend her cousin’s third party and the full moon party, so she had to send it
Yinzi went back and asked his parents to prepare gifts, but he didn't know how he looked now.
Probably because he became a father, Ye Sanyong's free-spirited ruffian has faded a lot, and he seems more stable. When he mentioned his precious son, he immediately showed a silly smile: "That boy is very solid, he looks like me in every way."
! He is being taken care of by your third aunt. Don’t worry. I have asked the aunt next door to come and take care of him, and the brothers from the escort agency will take care of him. He will be fine. Your parents have never been to the capital, so I don’t feel relieved if I don’t follow him.
"
What he didn't say was that the Ye family's status in Linxi County has risen sharply. The county magistrate respects them, the local gentry and local tycoons support them, and no one dares to give them any displeasure.
Even Ye Shiming, who is hated by people and disliked by dogs, has prospered in Linxi County because of his identity as an elder of Ye Zhenzhen. If Ye Sanyong hadn't suppressed others, he would have gone to heaven.
Of course, there was no need to say these words to upset Zhen'er. The Ye family's rise to prominence as Cui Weizhen's in-laws was not very honorable, and he did not want his children to be inferior to his uncle.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't know her third uncle's concerns and wanted to hear more about his little cousin, but the situation was not right, so she could only endure her curiosity and said: "Let's go back first. Wei Zhen, have you prepared your car?"
Naturally, the carriages and horses were prepared, and a lot of servants were brought with them. They were carrying a lot of things in large and small packages.
Aunt Ye said this: "We brought some taro grown at home and eggs laid by old hens, all for you. You used to love egg custard, so I will cook it for you later."
My mother, there are no taro eggs anywhere, why bother you to bring them all the way to the capital?
Ye Zhenzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Ye Sanyong couldn't help but say: "If I hadn't stopped you, your mother would have even brought you the candy sold in the county. She said you liked eating it, so I had to persuade her to do so."
Come down here, the capital is so big, how can we not sell malt candies?"
Aunt Ye was worried that the servants would break her eggs with rough hands and feet. She was taking the package and carrying it herself. She felt a little embarrassed when she heard this and retorted: "How can the things in the capital be compared with those at home? Da Ya eats them."
If you are used to the taste at home, you might miss your own stuff."
No matter what, this is a motherly heart.
Cui Weizhen couldn't help being awe-struck, and quickly took what she had in hand and said, "My mother-in-law is right, Zhen'er has had a bitter summer recently and has no appetite. Maybe she will have an appetite after eating food from her hometown."
Aunt Ye immediately became anxious when she heard this. She grabbed Ye Zhenzhen's hand and frowned: "No wonder I see you have lost a lot of weight. It turns out you have no appetite. It's okay. Mom will cook your favorite food for you when you get home."
egg custard."
That was something the original owner loved to eat. In fact, because his family was poor, the original owner liked to eat all the rare and good things that he didn’t have much chance to eat.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't refute and kept saying yes. Because she wanted to know about the situation at home, she took the same carriage with Aunt Ye, Huwa and Si Ya on the way back.
She asked Huwa first: "How is Huwa's reading? Are you not naughty?"
Huwa immediately puffed up her little chest proudly and said loudly: "Sister, I am amazing. This time in the ten-day test, I got the first grade. I am better than Dai Qun and Dai Xuan from my second uncle's family. Masters all praised me."
Already."
Ye Zhenzhen put on an expression of amazement: "Wow, is Huba so good? The eldest lady is looking down on you. In the future, won't I want to imitate your brother-in-law and come back as the top scholar?"
Huwa was still young and didn't notice that Ye Zhenzhen was acting at all. She was both proud and embarrassed by her exaggerated performance, and her voice became louder and louder: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely take the top prize in the future.
Mom, both you and Fourth Sister will earn a cent of your life and come back."
The women in the carriage were all overjoyed. Aunt Ye was so proud that she hugged her son and called her "darling" repeatedly, making the tiger boy who thought he had grown up so embarrassed that he couldn't break free and became as stiff as a puppet.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but want to laugh, but she didn't expose the child's innocent words, patting his head and boasting: "I knew Huba was the most powerful, sister is waiting for you, when you become a high official in the future, that's it."
The eldest sister and the fourth sister rely on me."
Huwa nodded solemnly. Although he was young, he had heard the sour words from his two cousins. They said that the eldest sister was helpless and that if she married into a wealthy family, she would definitely be abandoned by her uncle in the future.
He was so angry that he had a fight with them. Later, when his mother scolded him, he did not speak out because he was afraid that his parents would worry him. He felt that he was already an adult and could shoulder the burden of the family.
It was also from that time that his grades improved by leaps and bounds, not for anything else but the hope of becoming a high official in the future and supporting his eldest sister.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked: "Sister, is my brother-in-law good to you?"
Seeing him pretending to be a serious little adult, Ye Zhenzhen was a little amused, but she didn't show it, and replied with a serious look: "Of course, your brother-in-law often gives you pens, ink, paper and inkstones. If it weren't for Aiwujiwu,
Why would he care about your brother-in-law?"
Huwa had already learned the idiom Aiwujiwu. He blushed with embarrassment, but finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I judge a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart."
Hey, this kid has even studied "Zuo Zhuan". It seems that he is really studying hard.
After asking Huwa, it was Si Ya's turn again. She is now fourteen years old, and she has reached the age to look at others. Because of more than a year of pampering, the traces of past labor have faded, and she looks more and more like Ye Zhenzhen.
Similar.
Siya was not as lively as Huwa, and had a somewhat dull temperament. Except for saying a few words when they first met, she listened to them quietly along the way, which seemed a bit too withdrawn.
Ye Zhenzhen felt affection in her heart and took the initiative to talk to her: "Siya, how are you at home? I asked you to practice calligraphy and reading more, but have you been able to understand it?"
The ethnic studies in the village originally did not accept female students. After Ye Zhenzhen's struggle, the village was willing to make an exception. However, Si Ya was unwilling to learn, so she had no choice but to force her. On weekdays, she sent her a lot of stories about ghosts and monsters.
Look, these books are interesting, I just hope they can make her more interested in learning.
