42. Chapter 42
When Yue Yun heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Yue Yao in front of him.
Yue Yao got his eyes, immediately coughed lightly, pulled his daughter-in-law's arm, and said in a deep voice, "You remember wrong."
Xia Xiaoji tilted his head and wanted to say "no", but suddenly Yue Yao pinched his face, hooked the corners of his mouth and asked fiercely: "Xia Xiaoji, are you secretly drinking again while I am not paying attention?" ”
Xia Xiaoji was so frightened that he immediately forgot about Ye Ci, smashed his mouth, hooked his head and slipped back.
Yue Yao snorted lightly, turned his head and said "rude" to Ye Ci, turned around and followed in the footsteps of his wife.
Ye Ci stood in place and looked at Yue Yun a little embarrassed, and said with a chuckle: "Your sister-in-law, uh, how can you say it, it's quite interesting."
Yue Yun also laughed with her, sighed and replied: "What's interesting, since my brother's first day of marriage, my sister-in-law has not stopped, and my brother can bear her, if it is me, I can't stand it eight years or a hundred years earlier."
As soon as he finished saying this, a childish voice came from behind the two of them-
"Little uncle, is this your girlfriend?"
Ye Ci turned around and found that the person who spoke was a seven or eight-year-old girl, with big eyes, wearing a little princess dress, and her beautiful little face was extremely proud.
When Yue Yun saw Yue Lingling coming, he immediately pulled her and Ye Ci to the room next to her, half-covered the door and opened his mouth to introduce a sentence-
"Ye Ci, this is Lingling, my eldest brother's child, her mother is from Hong Kong, and she has been living in Hong Kong since she was a child. A few years ago, my eldest brother passed away, and my grandparents were afraid that her mother would be busy with work all day and would not care about her, so they took her back to our father-in-law's house. ”
After speaking, he squatted down again, touched Yue Lingling's head in front of him with a smile, and said happily: "Lingling, this sister is called Ye Ci, beautiful." In the future, she will be your little aunt, you know."
Ye Ci heard Yue Yun introduce himself like this, and he was originally a little shy.
I didn't think that Yue Lingling didn't look at her much at all, but just looked at Yue Yun with disdain and asked, "Little uncle, Sister Ran Ran said that this woman is with you for our family's money." My mother also told me before, she said that many women in the mainland do not marry because of love, they want to change their lives, so they will cling to the power of men. Little uncle, why don't you marry Sister Ran Ran, I think Sister Ran Ran is very good-looking, and she came back from abroad, and she will secretly bring me a lot of candy I like every time."
After listening to Yue Lingling's words, Ye Ci and Yue Yun were both stunned in place.
Yue Yun squatted in place, his face had already begun to have a displeased expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Lingling, who is Sister Ran Ran?" ”
Yue Lingling tilted her head, pointed to Liu Xinran outside the door, and replied with a smile: "Sister Ran Ran is Sister Ran Ran, you haven't come home to see me for a long time, but Sister Ran Ran has been playing with me all this time." When I grow up, I want to be like Sister Ran Ran, and go abroad to see the world."
Liu Xinran may have been paying attention to the movement here, and when she saw Yue Lingling pointing at herself, she also smiled and waved her hand to say hello.
Yue Yun frowned, closed the door, walked over and glanced at Ye Ci, and said apologetically: "Ye Ci, I'm sorry, I usually live with my brother, and there are few people who come back from the old mansion, I didn't expect it."
"It's nothing, Lingling is still just a child."
Ye Ci shook her head, replied softly, looked up and gave Yue Yun a soothing smile, as if suing him, she really didn't care.
Yue Lingling didn't speak, just opened a pair of big watery eyes, questioning and curiously looking at Ye Ci beside her little uncle.
Ye Ci came closer, protected the corners of her skirt with her hands, slowly squatted down, looked at Yue Lingling in front of her and said softly: "Lingling, how many years have you lived with your grandfather and grandmother?" ”
Yue Lingling didn't expect Ye Ci to ask such irrelevant words, so she was stunned and replied: "I have been living with my grandfather and grandmother in the mainland for almost three years."
Ye Ci asked "ah": "Then Lingling likes to live with her grandfather and grandmother?" ”
Yue Lingling thought about it, glanced at Yue Yun secretly, and replied in a low voice: "If Grandma Tai can let me eat more candy, and Grandpa Tai no longer forces me to memorize Tang poems, then I like it."
Ye Ci couldn't help but chuckle when he heard her words.
lowered his head and stretched out his hand, trying to hold Yue Lingling's little hand, seeing that she didn't hate her own contact, so she opened her mouth and praised her very proudly: "Lingling is so powerful, she can recite Tang poems at such a young age."
When Yue Lingling heard her say this, she also grinned, and replied with her little head held high: "I won the second place in our school's Tang poetry competition last time."
Then, as if he wanted to deliberately express himself, he immediately opened his mouth and recited: "I have been away from my hometown for a long time, and I have been half-consumed recently.
Only the mirror lake in front of the door, the spring breeze, the spring breeze"
Ye Ci smiled and continued: "The spring breeze does not change the old waves. ”
Yue Lingling asked with some surprise: "Wow, you will too, this sister Shiran will not be able to."
Ye Ci didn't answer, but said with a smile: "Lingling, do you know why my sister also knows this poem?" ”
Yue Lingling shook her head and replied: "I don't know, but Grandpa Tai always said that Chinese people have to be memorized poetry."
Ye Porcelain nodded and told her: "That's right, Lingling, because we are all Chinese, ancient poetry is the most proud thing for us, and it is something that no country has except us Chinese." Lingling, my sister knows, you have been living in Hong Kong with your mother when you were a child, Hong Kong is a very good place, but Beiyi is not bad, is it? At least, there is a grandfather here, there is a grandmother, and they love you very much. There are also many children who may not be as smart as you and can memorize Tang poems, but can play with you, they are all very good people, aren't they? ”
Yue Lingling listened to her words, lowered her head, nodded in agreement and replied: "Well, when I was with my mother before, there were only Filipino maids at home to accompany me, but now I come to Beiyi, although my grandmother always doesn't let me eat candy, she will always accompany me, as well as Da Maomao and Qianqian in the school, they will always come to the house to recite poems with me."
Ye Porcelain touched her head and said with a smile: "Yes, so Lingling, whether you are in Hong Kong, or in Beiyi, or even in other places, as long as we are Chinese, we need to have a home." What is a Chinese home? Home is a place where there is a family, you have to have a grandfather, you have to have a grandmother, you have to have these little uncles who love you. If one day you go abroad and need to leave these people who love you, will you still want to go? ”
Yue Lingling pursed her mouth and muttered softly: "But, but Sister Ran Ran said that there are many good things abroad that are not available in China, although I am also very reluctant to be too grandpa and grandma, but, but"
Ye Ci actually knew Yue Lingling's thoughts very well.
After all, seven or eight-year-old children are full of curiosity and anticipation about the world.
opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Lingling, my sister can understand the ideal you want to go out and see." However, my sister must tell you one thing, that is, foreign countries are not as good as you think, and China is not as bad as you think. At the very least, before you go out, can you try to accept and cherish what you have been given now, such as your friends, your family? ”
Yue Lingling seemed to understand Ye Ci's words, and as if she didn't, she blinked her eyes and asked, "But you haven't been abroad, how do you know that foreign countries are not as good as I imagined?" ”
Ye Ci smiled and replied: "Who said that my sister has never been abroad, but my sister has been in the UK alone for five years."
Yue Lingling listened to her words, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she opened her mouth and asked, "Really, really?" ”
Ye Ci said "um" and joked: "And my sister also has a particularly powerful superpower, that is, if you let me see a thing in your house, I will know how it came about."
Yue Lingling didn't believe it, and suddenly pointed to the big blue vase in the closet next to her and said, "Then, where did that vase come from?" ”
Ye Ci glanced up and said with a smile: "That must have been brought by you from Hong Kong, right?" ”
Yue Lingling stood in place with a shocked face, and sighed: "You really, really have superpowers."
After speaking, he immediately ran past Ye Ci and Yue Yun, shouting as he ran: "Grandma! ”
Ye Ci heard her shout and immediately froze in place.
Yue Yun was also a little surprised, turned around, and shouted in a deep voice: "Grandma."
Yuan Yi stood there, I don't know how long she had been standing, she lowered her head and patted Yue Lingling's little head, looked at Ye Ci's back, and said, "What, you saw me, but you couldn't speak, didn't you and Lingling just now be very good at talking?" ”
Ye Ci knew that this was meant for her, took a deep breath and stood up, turned to look at the old lady in front of him, lowered his head and shouted: "Yue, old lady Yue, hello."
Yuan Yi said "um", took a closer look at Ye Ci's face, was slightly stunned, shook his head and sighed: "I know that Xiaoyun is the same as his father, and what he likes is girls like you."
After speaking, seeing that Yue Yun wanted to speak, he immediately waved his hand to stop him.
turned around and walked out with Yue Lingling, and when he opened the door, he said, "You guys go to the main hall, I'm going to prepare too." Yue Yun, you can wait and sit at a table with your brother."
Yue Yun stood in place with a look of disbelief, and waited for the old lady to walk a long way before suddenly picking up Ye Ci and turning two big circles in place.
Ye Ci patted him on the shoulder for some reason and asked, "What, why are you so excited?" ”
Yue Yun put her down, picked up her face and kissed her hard, shouting: "Daughter-in-law, why are you so stupid, my grandma, my grandma she agreed, she agreed to you to be her granddaughter-in-law!" ”
Ye Ci was stunned in place, and asked with a surprised expression: "Old lady, does she agree with me?" ”
Yue Yun nodded and replied, "Yes, she asked us to sit at my brother's table." My brother's table is only for the Yue family to sit on! ”
Ye Ci was dragged out of the room by Yue Yun, her mind was still dizzy, she couldn't imagine how an old lady of the Yue family, who was shrewd and calculating in Yang Zhiyin's mouth, could agree to the matter between herself and Yue Yun like this.
Maybe there were too many worries along the way, and at this moment, she couldn't even fully express her joy like Yue Yun, and she was still inexplicably apprehensive in her heart.
Yue Yun saw Ye Ci looking down and pondering, knowing that she was still thinking nonsense, he took her hand and comforted her with a smile: "Okay, don't think about it anymore, my grandmother won't regret what she says, you can rest assured." Yo, my grandpa is here."
Ye Ci immediately raised his head when he heard Yue Yun's words, looked at the old man of the Yue family who was walking towards him in front of him, nodded lightly, and shouted, "Grandpa Yue."
Old Man Yue is old, and his eyes have begun to dim over the years, and when he saw Ye Ci's face, he suddenly opened his eyes as if he was frightened and froze in place.
Yue Yun stood aside and pushed her, saying, "What are you shouting Grandpa Yue, just call Grandpa."
Ye Ci lowered his head and was still a little embarrassed, and he twisted for a moment and shouted: "Grandpa, grandpa."
didn't think that as soon as she said this, the old man Yue in front of him fell down suddenly.
The servant beside him immediately shouted: "No, no, the old man has fainted!" ”
