The dinner at Lao Ye's house was quite lively due to the large number of people. Men, women, old and young were sitting together, which was quite crowded, but Lao Ye looked at it happily.
What a nice people!
It’s lively when there are more people.
Children Yuanyuan, Cuizhi and Wang Jinling ate a few quick bites and then went to Xikuoyuan to accompany He Xiner.
Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Bai didn't eat much either, so they went to the main hall to drink tea and talk.
The gentlemen drank two glasses of wine each, just to relieve their fatigue and did not drink more.
Because Ye Mancang and Ye Xusheng have not returned yet, everyone is very worried. Ye Shitian, Liu and others are not in a hurry to go home and wait with Lao Ye's family.
With Dabai following him, Ye Xusheng is a kung fu expert, and Ye Mancang is also a tall and muscular man. There is no problem in safety, but it is already late at night and people haven't come back yet, which always makes people uneasy.
Xiao Qian rolled his eyes while cracking melon seeds, cleaning up his affairs one by one. His son had just returned from Fucheng and was helping to find that shameless thing, so he had no time to study.
Her son is going to be an official, how can he be entangled in such nonsense?
Just when she was rolling her eyes and thinking about how to complain, Ye Mancang and Ye Xusheng came back.
The mule cart went directly into the backyard.
Mrs. Cao had been heating water in the kitchen, and opened the side door while listening to the noise.
"I'm going to heat up the food right now. Master, park the car, wash your hands and go to the bedroom to rest. You'll be able to eat soon."
It was the end of the month, there was no moon in the sky, and the stars were sparse.
In the entire backyard, apart from the lanterns in the hallway, only candles were lit in the kitchen. After hearing the noise, Mrs. Cao lit a lantern to welcome her out.
The moment she opened the side door, she was a little surprised to see the mule carriage hidden in the darkness.
Coming back so late, the two gentlemen didn't even use a torch to light up the situation.
"Dabai, come down and drink some warm water and eat later."
From the bottom of her heart, Mrs. Cao felt sorry for Dabai, who went out early and stayed out late. Seeing him sitting obediently in the mule cart without moving, she called softly.
Hearing the call, Dabai jumped out of the car, but followed Ye Xusheng, not leaving in a hurry.
"Aunt Cao, get some food for Dabai."
Ye Xusheng, with a heavy look on his face, turned around and looked, "Cousin..."
"I have no appetite."
Ye Mancang spoke hurriedly.
He is about to vomit, okay? Where can he eat?
Ye Xusheng nodded expressionlessly.
He had no appetite either and just wanted to see the little girl.
But now I can't go to see Xin'er, or even take a shower and change clothes.
It's better to finish explaining things first and then talk about it.
"Aunt Cao, is Xin'er okay?"
"The second girl was in a coma for a day, but it was Zhang's father-in-law who brought the magic medicine and she got better. She ate rice porridge and felt very good. Miss Guan and the others are still talking to her right now."
Ye Mancang glanced at Ye Xusheng and thought to himself that the boy from the Zhang family is awesome, and he also has magic medicine.
"Sister Xin'er is finally well, but we can't go see her now."
Ye Xusheng nodded, "I'll park the car."
Ye Mancang wished he would say this, "I'll take Dabai to eat."
After saying that, he stiffened his neck, looked straight ahead and waved his hands, "Dabai is gone."
"Go ahead."
Ye Xusheng patted Dabai on the head.
Mrs. Cao quickly handed him the lantern and went to serve Dabai food.
This mule cart was rented. It had a simple carriage with a dark brown curtain, so it was not clear what was inside.
Mrs. Cao didn't think much about it. Before leaving, she carefully said, "The carport is full of bicycle racks from our two families. Let's put this bicycle rack outside. I'll put up a raincloth to cover it later."
Ye Xusheng straightened his lips and did not respond.
In the kitchen, Ye Mancang squatted in front of the stove and warmed himself by the fire.
On a hot day, the night wind is cool and fresh, but it's not so cold as to warm the fire.
He just felt uncomfortable.
Seeing that Dabai was already eating, Xu Sheng hadn't come over yet.
