Chapter 316: Twilight and Late Autumn (4)
It is rare for someone to gather in Qiushui Hutong for such a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but Ye Wencheng is not very happy.
A few years ago, when he was a child, every time Ye Rulan brought him the snacks here, he looked forward to the day when he could come to the house to taste it in person. It's just that he didn't expect that now that this wish has come true, he misses the Chinese New Year's Eve in the ancient mansion of the envy river.
Ye Wencheng turned his head to look at his brother who was sitting on the right side and was a few years older than him, and pouted unhappily. When he entered the door just now, he was very happy when he saw a playmate of his age, but after running over in a hurry, this playmate was very cold and did not want to say more to himself.
"Uncle Juan, come over here." Ye Wencheng turned to his back and called in a low voice.
"Second Shao, what do you command?" Uncle Juan hurriedly ran forward in small steps, leaned down and asked.
Ye Wencheng covered his mouth with his hand: "What about my sister?" Why isn't she there? ”
Uncle Juan's expression changed, and he coughed lightly: "The eldest lady is not at home for the holiday this year, she went to Mrs. Lady's house." ”
"Ah," Ye Wencheng showed a disappointed expression, "went back to grandma's house?" Can I go to my grandmother's house too? ”
Ye Shushan, who was sitting at the head, cleared his throat: "Everyone is here, let's raise a glass!" ”
The people at the table all raised the quilt, Ye Qiaozhou lightly touched Ye Wencheng's arm, and he had to reluctantly raise a glass.
"Third child, I'm very happy that you can go home for the New Year this year." Ye Shushan leaned towards Ye Qiaozhou with a wine glass, "And Wencheng, he has grown up a lot, like a young man." ”
Ye Wencheng was very unfamiliar with his biological parents, he looked at the two "masters" at the head of the table, and nodded detachedly and politely.
Xu Fangting, the hostess of the Ye Mansion, who is Ye Wencheng's biological mother, showed a sad expression, but it was only for a moment, and she clinked glasses with the guests as usual.
"It's because I've been lazy in the past few years, and I'm always reluctant to rush over from Xianjiang, so I punished myself with three glasses of wine, and asked my eldest brother and sister-in-law to forgive." After Ye Qiaozhou finished speaking, he raised his head and drank three glasses of wine in a row.
Ye Wencheng had never seen him drink like this, and he was a little scared for a while, so he hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Third uncle, don't drink so much!" Beware of getting drunk, we won't be able to get home in a while! ”
As soon as the words fell, Ye Shushan's face sank, Ye Xueya's expression was subtle, and the people at the table suddenly fell silent.
"You kid," Ye Xueya said jokingly, "What are you talking about?" This is your home! ”
Ye Wencheng replied simply: "No, my family is in Xianjiang!" ”
The expressions of everyone at the table became more complicated, and they all subconsciously looked at Ye Shushan and Xu Fangting.
"Xiaowen, don't make trouble," Ye Qiaozhou wiped his red cheeks, "This is your home, Xianjiang, that's the third uncle's home." In the future, the third uncle is going to marry an aunt, you can't be a little light bulb, right? Yes? ”
"What light bulb?" Ye Wencheng scratched his head in confusion, "I can't generate electricity......
Ye Qing was amused, and laughed out loud: "Oh, this brother is so stupid, it's so funny!" ”
"Xiaoqing, what nonsense?" Ru Fen glared at her daughter, "Don't be so big and small!" ”
The atmosphere seemed to ease a little, and I saw Ye Shushan looking at Ye Qiaozhou meaningfully: "Third child, if you fall in love with a suitable girl's family, you must tell me, I will be a matchmaker for you!" ”
Ye Qiaozhou seemed to be drunk, his cheeks were red unpresentably, and he couldn't speak well: "I, how can I have this blessing?" Jean ...... Big brother is my matchmaker? Hehe......"
Xu Fangting made a look, and Uncle Juan and the others immediately stepped forward and helped Ye Qiaozhou aside to rest. Ye Wencheng was about to follow off the table, but was stopped by a cough from Ye Shushang.
"Wencheng, how is your homework this year? How many places did you get in the exam? ”
Ye Wencheng was stunned, and replied honestly: "There are five or six in the class." ”
"Hmph," Ye Wucheng, who had been sitting without speaking, spoke, "This is too bad, what time do you usually read?" ”
"What time is it?" Ye Wencheng said, "Go to bed after finishing your homework, otherwise?" ”
