Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1423 At the dinner table

Ye Yaodong called the three children over and asked them to call someone.

"How is this little fat girl doing with her Erhu?"

Ye Xiaoxi stomped her feet as if someone stepped on her tail and retorted, "I'm not a little fat girl!"

"Hahaha, that's right, it's not a little fat girl, it's a little artist."

This title satisfied her and she felt happy immediately.

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

"Oh, you know how to play it. Go back home tonight and pull one for me."

She hesitated and said, "I can't play, I just play."

"Hahaha."

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "She only knows a few strings. She learns them today but forgets them tomorrow. She just plays them randomly and all she does is make noise. If I want to hear her play the erhu, I guess I'll have to wait 10 years to see if I can."

Ye Xiaoxi just slipped away.

The family ordered food while chatting.

All the children gathered around the window, and they were reluctant to sit down. The food hadn't been served yet, and the adults didn't care about them. They just watched them huddled together, stretching their necks to look out the window, and chattering.

Even though it was not dark yet, they were still watching the people below with great interest.

The adults were also chatting animatedly.

Director Chen was also very familiar with their family, and everyone chatted harmoniously without feeling restrained.

After a while, Hong Wenle also came. With someone more who was good at chatting, the atmosphere became even more lively.

At this time, several children near the window cried out, "Ah! It's raining!"

"It's raining!"

Everyone looked over.

Lin Xiuqing quickly stood up and walked towards them, "It's raining? That won't be a good night."

"Ah~" Ye Xiaoxi hugged her legs and acted coquettishly, "I want to see, I want to see."

"It's raining, what can I do? God doesn't listen to me. Let's wait and see. It's not dark yet. Maybe the rain will stop and everything will be fine. Or maybe I can just wear my raincoat and straw raincoat as usual."

Ye Xiaoxi pouted, propped her chin with both hands, and leaned her elbows against the windowsill, "Humph, disgusting!"

"Luckily I watched it last year. It was so good. Dad held me the whole time, and then he lifted me up on his neck so I could sit and watch. There were so many people, and it was at the bottom. It was so much fun, so many people, and so lively."

Ye Chengyang recalled last year with stars in his eyes.

I also remembered that when they went to the city last year, his parents only brought him with them. They kept checking his passport and looking at him the whole time, which gave him unprecedented attention.

Coupled with the excitement of the Lantern Festival, these will be things he will remember for the rest of his life.

He continued to talk about the scene of going to the city.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Xiaoxi turned around and looked at him jealously.

"Don't follow me to school tomorrow. You go your way and I go mine."

Ye Xiaoxi also said: "I don't want to call you second brother anymore. You are the person I hate the most now."

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

"My parents love me so much. When I went back home, they held me on their laps and let me sleep in their arms. My mother's arms are so fragrant, soft and comfortable to sleep in."

"I will sleep with them at night! I will sleep with them every day, right between them!" Ye Xiaoxi put his hands on his hips and shouted unwillingly.

Lin Xiuqing: “…”

Ye Yaodong also looked over.

After receiving Ye Yaodong's gaze, Ye Xiaoxi immediately ran towards him, "Dad, I want to get off. I want to ride on your neck. I want to get off and ride on your neck."

"what?"

"My second brother said he sat on your neck last year to watch the fun, I want to do that too."

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

Ye Yaodong coaxed, "It's raining, so we can't go. It would be nice to just stay upstairs and watch. We don't have to go downstairs and squeeze in with the crowd."

"No, it's more fun when there are more people."

"Then you have to go out in the rain. If you catch a cold, you'll have to get an injection. Were you afraid of being stabbed with such a big needle last time?"

Ye Xiaoxi shrank back, "I'm scared."

"So just watch from here and you'll see everyone below getting soaked."

"Haha, a drowned rat..." She laughed again.

The child's face was like the weather, sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny. I didn't know what touched her funny bone and made 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? My brothers didn't have that privilege, so you were the only one who sat on my neck to watch the circus."

Ye Xiaoxi thought about it and felt that it was right!
She also sat on her father's neck to watch the fun!

Instantly, she was satisfied and contented, and immediately ran towards Ye Chenghu and shouted, "Brother, you are the only one that no one wants!"

"My second brother rode on dad's neck, and I rode on dad's neck to watch the circus, but you didn't. No one wants you!"

Heartbroken!
Ye Chenghu just reacted and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant. He was about to cry.

Ye Chengyang added, "Brother said he couldn't ride on the float!"

"you shut up!"

Ye Xiaoxi moved to Ye Chengyang's side in small steps and whispered, "Brother is angry?"

"He has nothing to do with anything..." Ye Chengyang also lowered his head and whispered to her, but everyone could hear his voice.

But when he saw Ye Chenghu clenched his fists, he immediately shut up and covered Ye Xiaoxi's mouth with his hand.

"Wow, it's getting dark. Is it going to start soon?"

The brother and sister's attention was immediately diverted. They hurried to the window, lined up from tall to short, put their heads on the window and looked out, without even having to eat.

It was only because Lin Xiuqing kept emphasizing to them that the meal would not start until 7 o'clock that they reluctantly returned to the table to eat.

The dinner table became more lively with the children present. Ye Yaodong called out and asked the three of them to hold their sodas and toast everyone.

They seemed to have received an imperial edict, and they kept pouring soda for themselves and took turns toasting.

Everyone went from laughing at the beginning to feeling miserable later on.

Hong Wenle was especially taken care of by Ye Xiaoxi.

"Again? Me again? My goodness, this is the fifth cup, right?"

Ye Xiaoxi opened her big, twinkling eyes and looked at him while holding the cup. "Drink, big brother, drink."

"I told you to call me uncle, got it? This is the last cup, huh?"

She nodded.

But after the other person finished drinking, she filled her own glass again and raised it to Hong Wenle, "Uncle..."

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

"Ah? You asked me to call you uncle, so I nodded."

Everyone laughed.

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

"Because he's the second best looking, and you, Dad, are the best looking."

"Hahaha, you already know who's good-looking and who's not good-looking at such a young age?"

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

Ye Yaodong was so delighted by his coaxing that his heart burst into laughter, but after a while he couldn't laugh anymore.

"My little uncle is the second best looking, so when I grow up, I want to marry him."

Ye Yaodong’s alarm bells immediately rang!
Everyone at the table was already bent over with laughter.

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

"Haha, this little fat girl still looks at the face?"

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

"I want to marry Dad, but Dad said I can't marry him or my brother, so I'll marry this pretty boy!"

"Pretty boy!?" Hong Wenle raised his eyebrows.

Ye's mother quickly covered her mouth, "She just saw that you are white, whiter than his father. His father used to be very white, so his father was also called a pretty boy."

Fortunately, I sat next to this girl, otherwise I would have been shaken out.

After saying this, Ye's mother scolded her, "Don't be so rude. Call him uncle if you want to. Don't call him little white-faced uncle."

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

"Okay, after eating, let's go watch the fun. I guess the lantern show is about to start."

Ye Xiaoxi slid down from the stool in a hurry, no longer having time to care about the pretty boy.

Hong Wenle smiled and joked, "Hey, do you think I should give the betrothal gift now?"

Ye Yaodong's face fell immediately, "Forget about the betrothal gift. How about you call me dad now and I'll give you a red envelope first."

“Oh my god, what the hell…”

"Call now!" Ye Yaodong started to search his pockets.

Lin Xiuqing laughed so hard that she slapped him a few times.

Ye Yaodong was unmoved. "Is 8 enough? If not, 8."

"Fuck...have some shame..."

"You are shameless. You are old and still don't want to get married. You are a pervert."

"I'll send the wedding candy to your house tomorrow, otherwise you'll have to be careful not to let me come to your house in the future."

"Are you really handing out wedding candies?"

"Yes, we'll be engaged in a few days."

Ye Yaodong quickly took the money back and said, "Then I won't give you any money for changing your name. I'll keep it for a red envelope another day."

"Damn, this is so funny."

We could still have a good chat if I weren't his son-in-law.

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

After hearing the introduction that he was the town leader, they all came over to toast and sit for a while, knowing that Director Chen was coming.

Father Ye had never eaten at the same table with so many leaders in his life, and he almost didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"Dongzi, so many leaders..."

Mother Ye glared at him and whispered, "Calm down. The leader is just a man with two eyes and a mouth. He still has to joke with us now."

Father Ye straightened his back instantly, "Yes! He's still toasting me."

"We can just sit there and laugh."

“Become a Bodhisattva!”

Ye's mother stepped on him hard and glared at him secretly.

Father Ye took a deep breath, but he didn't dare to change the smile on his face. After he recovered, he said, "If I had known earlier, I would have asked you to bring the gold necklace and gold ring to me today and let me wear them."

Mother Ye slapped his thigh fiercely, "Yes! Oh, you should have taken all the gold with you, what a pity."

Father Ye was secretly touching his thigh under the table, glancing at her with an indescribable expression on his face.

The old couple's winking and whispering were all seen by Ye Yaodong, but he pretended not to see anything and smiled as he introduced the old lady first.

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

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

After saying that, she sat down again.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing.

Others were also happy.

The old lady was pretending to be experienced.

Everyone knows that she has very good hearing, only those who have just arrived don't know it.

The old lady also breathed a sigh of relief after sitting down, and whispered: Amitabha... Amitabha... I won't come out next time...

When it was Mr. and Mrs. Ye's turn, the old couple's faces were flushed and they stood up actively to drink.

Ye Yaodong knew that his parents would have something to brag about when they returned to the village.
