The next day, the family reunion banquet was held as scheduled.

Liu Guiying cooked a large table of food, using all the existing ingredients and not using any food in the space at all.

The two patients from the health center were also taken over. The only ones missing from the Ye family were the eldest son Ye Jinzhong and the third son Ye Jingang, who were working away from home.

A dozen people sat around a large table and started the family reunion banquet in a lively atmosphere.

The so-called family recognition banquet, as the name suggests, first recognize the relatives and then entertain the guests.

Li Yusen knelt upright in front of Ji Ruixiang and was about to offer him tea when Li Yulin stopped him. He said, "Brother, wait a moment." Then he dragged his injured leg and knelt beside his brother. He said to Ji Ruixiang, who was in the upper position, "Grandpa Ji, I'm sorry to say a few words to you before I offer you tea."

Ji Ruixiang looked at him with a smile and nodded.

After getting permission, Li Yulin continued, "Grandpa Ji, on behalf of our Li family, I would like to thank you for saving my brother's life." After saying that, he put his hands on the ground and kowtowed with difficulty.

Li Yusen's eyes welled up as he watched his brother's actions. After so many years, he finally had blood relatives who truly felt sorry for him and wanted to thank those who were good to him.

At this moment, he truly felt that his younger brother had grown up and they could rely on and trust each other.

Li Yulin straightened up with difficulty and said, "This one is to thank you for your teaching and care for my brother over the years." He kowtowed again.

After saying this, Li Yulin kowtowed again, "The last one is to thank you for your concern and worry for my brother."

He was also anxious when there was no news from home, but he never doubted his family's desire for his brother to return home. He firmly believed that no matter who he was, his family would be happy to accept him.

But he wouldn't blame Grandpa Ji for his misunderstanding. It was human nature for him to think that way. He would only be grateful that Grandpa Ji was truly considering his brother.

By the time he finished kowtow three times, Li Yusen was already in tears. With tears streaming down his face, he tried to help his brother up, but his brother gently broke free.

Li Yulin looked at Ji Ruixiang with a firm gaze and continued, "Finally, I have a request." He seemed a little embarrassed as he spoke, and his face flushed slightly.

"Hahaha, good boy, just say whatever you want!"

He was already very happy about the family reunion banquet, and he was also very satisfied with Li Yulin's behavior. Although he did not seek any thanks for what he did for Li Yusen, he was still satisfied that someone from the Li family stood up.

This at least means that the Li family does not want to give up the child. Especially since he has a deeper understanding of Li Yulin, he feels that the child's choice to stand up at this time is a manifestation of responsibility.

What he said was sincere and heartfelt, and he is a child who values ​​friendship.

After receiving Ji Ruixiang's approval, Li Yulin stopped hesitating and said directly, "Grandpa Ji, you see, my brother and I are brothers from the same mother. Now that you want to adopt my brother as your grandson, you can't leave me behind, right? But don't worry, I have no other intentions. I just want to honor you together with my brother. I'm definitely not trying to take advantage of you."

"Hahaha, good, good, now I, an old man, will have two big grandsons soon, great." Ji Ruilin laughed as soon as Li Yulin finished speaking.

The laughter directly reflected how happy he was at the moment. He certainly didn't think that others were trying to take advantage of him. After all, he had nothing on the surface right now. He was just an old man with poor health.

The Ye family is just a country family. The Li family in Kyoto is a hundred times better than them. It's good enough that they don't think he is shameless for trying to snatch their grandson.

But there's one more thing: "Xiao Lin, I'm very willing to adopt you and Xiao Sen together. I have a connection with both of you, and I like you very much. It's just that your father only cares about adopting your brother as his grandson. If I adopt you as well, I'm afraid your family will have objections."

"Grandpa Ji, don't worry about this. My family will definitely not have any objections. They will even approve of my approach. As long as you are willing to recognize me together, there will be absolutely no problem."

Li Yulin also quickly expressed his loyalty. He didn't have to shamelessly recognize his grandfather. The main reason was that he felt that he had to follow in his brother's footsteps.

These are two brothers, twins at that. If he only recognizes his elder brother, he always feels like he and his brother are no longer a family, so he must make sure that Grandpa Ji recognizes him as well.

He was not afraid of having another grandfather and the extra burden he would bear. His biological grandfather had his own pension, and his parents also earned a lot of money, so the family did not need his money. His brother was not working yet, so he would give all his allowance to Grandpa Ji in the future.

Grandpa Ji doesn't have his own children, but he is so good to his brother, so no matter how much he does, it's not too much.

"Okay, then I'll take both of you brothers as my own."

"Thank you, Grandpa Ji!" Li Yulin said excitedly.

Ji Ruilin smiled and patted Li Yulin on the shoulder to show his approval.

Everyone applauded and congratulated Ji Ruilin.

The Ye family was also very happy for the second uncle. Grandpa Ye said, "Xiao Sen, Xiao Lin, we are a family from now on. Don't be polite. Remember to discuss things with your family. And you are all familiar with my children. Come visit us often and take care of each other."

"Thank you, uncle." The two brothers said in unison.

"Hahaha, two clever little rascals."

A family reunion banquet, both the guests and the hosts had a great time.

After dinner, all the sick patients were sent home, and everyone in the Ye family at home cleaned up the mess before going to rest.

The next day was New Year's Eve. Liu Guiying and Grandma Ye had prepared a lot of New Year's food during these days, including fried fruits, meatballs, stewed meat, sticky fire shovels, etc.

Early in the morning, Zhang Zhiqiang drove back with Ye Jingang and brought back a lot of firecrackers that can be bought now.

Everyone started to get busy. Although posting couplets is not allowed now, other things can still make the yard lively.

Except for the outermost gate of the Ye family, the doors and windows of each room in the courtyard were all pasted with Spring Festival couplets and window decorations.

Grandpa Ye wrote the Spring Festival couplets, his handwriting was natural and flowing, like flowing clouds and water. Grandma Ye's window paper-cuts were also lifelike and lifelike.

Everyone praised the two elderly people's talent display, especially the paper-cut window decorations made by grandma. Ye Jinhua felt that if it were put in the future, it could also be applied for as an intangible cultural heritage project.

When the work was almost done, the Ye family gathered in the yard to set off firecrackers, and for a moment the courtyard was filled with laughter. The elders of the Ye family also joined in the fun. Ye Jinhua felt that these immortal elders in her family must be the kind of parents that future children would want most, parents who would not spoil the fun!

This New Year passed in the Ye family's laughter and joy, with anticipation for the future.
