Chapter 348: Happy Little Year
Ye Lu, the third young master of the Ye family, returned to the Ye Mansion, making the already cheerful and active atmosphere more joyful of reunion.
Cui'er and her father sat in the room, waiting for Ye Lu to wash up and come out, and continued to talk. Taking advantage of this time, Mrs. Ye and Cui'er were not idle, and ordered the people below to add vegetables to the New Year's dinner in the evening, and also asked people to find suitable materials from the warehouse, and hurry up to make a few new clothes for Ye Lu for the New Year.
After half an hour passed, Ye Lu, who was dressed up, came out of the bath room of the main house, wearing a cotton robe newly made by Cui'er for Lian Qingshan, and her hair was still wet and dripping two drops of water from time to time.
"You kid, you don't know how to take good care of yourself!" Mrs. Ye saw that Ye Lu's hair was still dripping with water, and hurriedly asked Yahuan to bring a towel, let Ye Lu sit in front of her, and help him wipe the water from his hair.
Ye Lu sat obediently on the pier, letting his mother wipe his hair with water, but he muttered while rolling up his sleeves, "Sister, this dress belongs to my brother-in-law?" My brother-in-law's body is strong enough, I'm not short, my brother-in-law is taller than me! ”
Cui'er looked at Ye Lu's serious movements, and then saw that he was wearing Lian Qingshan's robe, like a child who had stolen an adult's clothes, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Lu'er, Lu'er, you look like you when you were a child!"
When Ye Lu was a child, he liked to secretly wear his brothers' clothes, especially Ye Qing's robe, which was always draped by him as a scholar. Now that Ye Lu has grown up, he wears Lian Qingshan's clothes, which is similar to when he was a child, and he can hook up Cui'er's memories at once.
"Don't say it, it's true!" Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Lu like this. Obviously, I also remembered the interesting story of his childhood, and I couldn't help but laugh along with it.
"Mother, sister...... I'm not a kid anymore. Although Ye Lu complained, the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and he was so happy to be able to see his sister and his family talking and laughing together in his lifetime.
"Speaking of children, sister. Are you going to give birth? I'm going to be an uncle? Ye Lu looked at Cui'er's round belly. So said.
"You've been an uncle for a long time!" Mrs. Ye stretched out her hand and pushed Ye Lu's forehead, seeing him smile stupidly. I can't help but be more cheerful.
"Go and see if the little lady and the little master are awake, if they do, bring them over." Mrs. Ye said that her grandson and granddaughter were lively and cute, and she was really panicked when she missed it for a while.
"Really be an uncle?!" Leaf Green's eyes widened with excitement. The corners of his mouth grinned, and he turned around and went to the big burden he was carrying. As he walked, he said, "This is the first time I've been an uncle, so I have to find something to give my nephew and niece as a gift." ”
"You monkey, who is greedy for your greeting gift. Sit down quickly and comb your hair. Mrs. Ye smiled and pulled Ye Lu to sit down, and combed his hair through carefully. Tied him in a bun. Cui'er helped him pick out a ribbon of the same color as his clothes and tie it on his bun, so that Ye Lu, who was already a graceful young man, looked. It's getting more and more people can't take their eyes off.
After a while, Xiaobao and Soft were hugged in by the maids, and Huiya was accompanied by them.
"The kids are coming!" Mrs. Ye watched the children enter the house, and said with a smile, when she saw Huiya, who was slender and thin but a little beauty, something suddenly appeared in Mrs. Ye's heart. However, this thought was only fleeting, and Mrs. Ye was busy holding her granddaughter and grandson to her and introducing her youngest son, smiling from ear to ear.
When Lian Qingshan stepped into the house, he saw such a happy scene, his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, son and daughter, all accompanied a teenager talking and laughing happily. Even his father-in-law, who was serious and cautious on weekdays, showed a kind face, which made Lian Qingshan stunned in surprise.
"Aoyama, you're back! Come and see, this is my third brother Lu'er! When Cui'er saw Lian Qingshan coming back, she stepped forward with a smile and took his arm and said.
"It turned out to be the third brother!" Lian Qingshan looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who was still a little immature, and greeted him with a hearty smile.
Ye Lu saw that his brother-in-law was actually a mighty general, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully to Lian Qingshan. But because of the excitement and the long clothes, he stumbled and almost tripped over, which caused the adults and children in the room to burst into laughter.
It's just an instant, and even Qingshan found the clothes on Lu'er's body, and the color and style of the clothes are exactly the same as the clothes that Cui'er sewed for herself a while ago. I don't know why, Lian Qingshan's heart began to feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was a child whose beloved toy had been robbed, and his heart was slightly sour.
"Qingshan, Lu'er came back in a hurry, and there are no ready-made clothes, so I will take out a set of your new clothes and borrow them for him to wear." Cui'er feels sorry for her brother, but she won't forget her husband, and she has been watching him since Lian Qingshan entered the house. Now seeing Lian Qingshan's eyes lingering on Lu'er's body, Cui'er doesn't know where she is, this is a precursor to jealousy, and she said in his ear busily.
"It's okay, Cui'er, your brother, is my brother." Lian Qingshan smiled, seeing that Cui'er cared so much about herself, the little unpleasantness just now disappeared.
"When I give birth, I'll make you a few more comfortable summer clothes." Cui'er saw the tenderness in Lian Qingshan's eyes, smiled and promised.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. This dress is not in a hurry, we have been for many years, don't get tired. Even Qingshan quietly squeezed Cui'er's hand under the cover of his sleeve, and his smile widened.
The family sat in the room talking and laughing, and after a while, Xiangmo took advantage of the tea change for the masters, and brought up the newly made sugar melons and snacks in the kitchen.
"Master, Mrs., Miss, Aunt, Third Young Master! In the kitchen, I made a new sugar melon for the masters to try. Xiang Mo handed the sugar melon to the big girl who was waiting beside Mrs. Ye, and the two big girls talked sweetly, and brought the sugar melon to Master Ye and Mrs. Ye.
There are several kinds of sugar melons on the plate, some are dark round without sesame seeds, and some are straight strips with sesame seeds with bubbles in the middle.
Cui'er looked at the sugar melon. It's similar to the stove candy I ate when I was a child. I don't know why, I feel a sour and weak feeling in the back molars, as if after eating the stove candy in my mouth, the sticky teeth can't open my mouth.
"Yo, the sugar melons are ready!" Mrs. Ye saw the sugar melon, smiled and picked one up from the plate and handed it to Master Ye. "Sir, taste it. Look at the sugar melons in this capital and our Huxi, the taste is the same! ”
"It's all sugar melons, the same cooks. How can it be different...... "Although Master Ye said this, he took a bite of the sugar melon with Mrs. Ye's hand, obviously agreeing with the old wife's statement.
"Sugar ......" Master Ye and Mrs. Ye both began to eat sugar melons, although the two little ones didn't know this sugar melon. But after hearing people talk about sugar, I couldn't sit still. Two little round things rolled over and stood up on the spot. Begging for food at Mrs. Ye with his small hands open.
"Good, good...... Let's eat sugar too! With a smile on her face, Mrs. Ye took out two of the children's delicious stove candies, and stuffed them into their open little hands one by one.
The two children are not greedy either. After getting the stove candy, he yelled and stuffed it into his mouth, but he couldn't wait for a moment. When Cui'er saw it, the small packet of stove candy had just been bitten with two tooth marks. Half of the soft stove candy has been eaten.
"Look at the daughters of our family, they are all so capable!" Cui'er Niang was not only dissatisfied with the wolf-like appearance of softness. He opened his mouth and praised it.
"Mother......" Cui'er and Ye Lu were a little crying and laughing, and suddenly remembered the scene when Cui'er was ignorant when she was a child, violently oppressing her younger brother.
"Mother, mother, come and eat candy!" Mrs. Ye smiled happily, one person divided them with a piece of stove candy or sugar melon, and looked at the sky to see that it was not early, "It's just enough for one person to eat two, and it's time to eat later." ”
Everyone happily ate some stove candy, washed their hands and drank a cup of tea, chatting about Ye Lu's experience of traveling south and north in the past half a year, and talking about the children's interesting stories, Lian Qingshan's official position, and the family's business.
By the time Xiao Nian'er's sumptuous meal was ready, Cui'er's family was already chatting happily, and it was not enough to eat, so everyone shifted the battlefield of chatting to the dining table.
"This year, our family is full of happy events, today is a small year, let's have a good meal." Master Ye took the lead in speaking, and sandwiched a chopstick sweet and sour pork ribs for the old wife sitting next to him, "Madam, you have worked hard this year!" ”
"Old husband and wife, what's not hard." Mrs. Ye was a little hot by the sudden warmth of her father-in-law. There was a glint in his eyes, but he didn't lower his head, but also gave Master Ye a dish with chopsticks.
"Daddy, eat!" Chlorophyte pleases the well-behaved picket vegetables.
"Lu'er, Qingshan, eat!" Cui'er gave Lian Qingshan and Leaf Green Pickles.
"Dad, mother, Cui'er, Lu'er, eat!" Lian Qingshan first honored his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then took care of his wife and younger brother.
"Eat!" There were no chopsticks, sitting on the dining table and chair specially made for them by Cui'er, and tremblingly scooped the egg custard in his bowl with a small spoon and piled it into the bowl of the small bag.
Although this action is not even aesthetically pleasing, the custard piled on top of the small packet of rice still looks disgusting. But the soft and milky movements, coupled with the cute movements, still make the adults happy enough.
In the laughter, the flavor of the New Year became more and more intense, and Cui'er's family sat together, feeling the strong family affection of caring for each other, and even the cold wind outside became more and more relaxed. (To be continued)
