Grandpa, your granddaughter and her grandson-in-law are wearing it back.

What the Ye family saw when they came back was a group of men, young and old, standing in front of their house, puffing white smoke and wiping their noses.

"Oh, what are you all doing here freezing? Come inside quickly, there are people at home!" Ye Jianguo was speechless when he saw these people. They really didn't mind the cold.

Ji Ruixiang did not go out today. He stayed at home to look after Xiao Chengcheng and Xiao Jiayu. The weather was too cold, so they did not take the children out to suffer.

Xiao Chengcheng will be one year old in about a month, and Xiao Jiayu is also nine months old. Ji Ruixiang has no pressure taking care of them alone.

Both children were very well-behaved. After eating, they would sit on the kang and play with the wooden building blocks that Ye Jinhua bought for them. Even if others saw them, they would just think that they made them for themselves and would not think of anything else.

"Brother, you are too old to join in the fun. Come on, everyone, go inside." Ye Jianguo said quickly as he looked at the two lines of icy snot under Old Man Gu's nose.

These people didn't know that there were still people in the Ye family, so they just waited outside foolishly. They were so cold that they didn't talk much and didn't make any noise. Ji Ruixiang in the house didn't know that there were so many people outside the gate.

Liu Guiying also opened the door of her house, and the Ye family members asked the villagers to come into the house to warm up.

This winter, Ye Jinzhong asked someone to bring a cart of coal back to his home. It is lighter than firewood and you don't have to put out the fire when you go out. You can just seal it with wet coal. When you come back, you can poke the fire with a stove hook and it will come back on fire.

Grandma Ye and Liu Guiying quickly busied themselves boiling water so that everyone could have something hot to drink and warm themselves up.

Ye Jinhua and Zhao Hongying, two pregnant women, went to their second uncle's room to pick up their children and then returned home. After all, there were too many people and their main hall was full of people standing. Some people were even standing on the threshold looking inside.

Don't be careless, or you'll be in trouble if you run into them.

Everyone entered the house one after another under the warm welcome of the Ye family. For a moment, the originally spacious hall became extremely lively, with people pushing and shoving each other and muttering polite words.

As soon as Old Man Gu entered the house, he was struck by the heat. He sniffed hard, and his cheeks, originally red from the cold, gradually regained color. "Oh, this house is really warm, much better than our shabby house," he said, rubbing his hands together and looking around.

Ye Jianguo smiled and replied, "Brother, it's good to be warm. Come find a place to sit." He and several young men brought out stools and chairs from the house and offered them to the villagers to sit on. Some villagers, lacking any place to sit, simply squatted on the ground, their faces still beaming with excitement.

Grandma Ye and Liu Guiying came out of the kitchen carrying steaming hot tea and handed it to everyone one by one. "Everyone, drink some hot water to warm yourself up," Grandma Ye said kindly.

The villagers took the cups and expressed their gratitude. Some of them couldn't wait to take a sip. They grimaced at the heat, but still smiled and said, "This water is really sweet."

At this time, Old Man Gu remembered what happened before and shouted at the top of his voice: "Jianguo, don't forget to take out the certificate and show it to everyone. We are all looking forward to it." As soon as these words came out, the villagers who were still chatting fell silent and all looked at Ye Jianguo.

Ye Jianguo smiled and nodded, then turned and walked into the inner room. A moment later, he emerged holding an exquisite photo frame. Inside was his award certificate. He carefully handed the frame to Old Man Gu, who took it with both hands, examining it with his eyes narrowed as if it were a treasure. "Wow, look at how beautiful the handwriting is, Jianguo! You've really brought honor to our village."

The certificate was passed from village to village, everyone's face full of envy and endless praise. "Brother Ye is really amazing, this certificate is a real honor." "That's right, our village has produced such a capable person, and he can hold his head high when he goes out in the future."

Amidst the praise, Ye Jianguo smiled shyly. He scratched his head and said, "It's nothing. It's all thanks to everyone. If it weren't for the daily support of the villagers, I wouldn't be able to accomplish these things."

At this time, a young man stood up and said, "Uncle Ye, don't be so modest. Everyone can see your ability. In the future, you have to teach us more so that we can have some success." The other young people also echoed.

Ye Jianguo looked at these energetic young people and nodded seriously: "Okay, as long as you are willing to learn, I will definitely teach you everything I know. If our village wants to develop, it still depends on young people like you."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the main room became even more lively. Everyone was talking one after another, expressing their aspirations for the future. Laughter and joy echoed throughout the room, as if dispelling the severe cold of winter and bringing the warmth of spring.

A month later, Xiao Chengcheng celebrated his first birthday.

In the original Qingshan Village, a child’s first birthday would be celebrated with great fanfare, but the current circumstances make it inappropriate to hold such a grand ceremony.

Even so, the Ye family decided to have their family celebrate Xiao Chengcheng with great fanfare.

On the birthday, the Ye family courtyard was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Grandma Ye started to get busy early in the morning. She carefully prepared various items for the one-year-old celebration, including books, brushes, abacus, copper coins, toy guns, etc., which were placed on a large red cloth one meter square.

The family members sat in a circle, all with expectant smiles on their faces.

Xiao Chengcheng was gently placed in front of the red cloth. He opened his big round eyes and looked at everything around him curiously. His clear eyes were full of ignorance and curiosity.

The little guy hesitated for a while, his little head turning slightly, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly, he stretched out his chubby little hand and grabbed the brush.

Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter. "Haha, it seems this child will be a good student in the future." Everyone said one thing after another, and praises rose one after another.

Xiao Chengcheng's birthday party was warm and lively, and time passed quietly. Two months later, Xiao Jiayu also had his own birthday ceremony.

On this day, the Ye family courtyard became lively again, and everyone was looking forward to what Xiao Jiayu would catch.

The items on the red cloth are still rich, except for an additional pulse pillow for taking the pulse.

Little Jiayu was placed in front of the red cloth. He looked around curiously, and his little hands were groping among various objects.

Suddenly, his little hand tightly grasped the pulse pillow and refused to let go.

What was even more interesting was that after a while, he actually hugged the pulse pillow, his eyelids gradually drooped, and he fell into a sweet dream. This scene made everyone laugh.

Grandpa Ye was particularly happy, his eyes slightly red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Great, great, the Ji family finally has a successor."

Perhaps, the difficulties that the Ji family's medical skills inheritance had faced had always been an unspeakable pain in his heart, and Xiao Jiayu's grab gave him hope.
