Chapter 334 I have something to tell you

This is the first time for Ye Jiner and her sister to take a boat ride.

Looking at the vast lake and feeling the refreshing autumn breeze, I feel so good.

Shen Zhiyan also gave each of the sisters a fishing rod and taught them how to fish.

The two little girls didn’t have the patience. After fishing for a quarter of an hour, they couldn’t stand it anymore and lay on the deck with Shen Manman to play backgammon.

Shen Manman rolled the dice, listlessly.

Ye Huan'er smiled and said, "Is Sister Man sulking? Why are you so angry?"

Shen Manman stroked her little face: "No. I'm very happy today! Thank you for inviting me out to the lake."

Shen Manman is still angry with Shen Zhiyan.

The stepmother that I liked and had high hopes for is gone.

It’s painful to think about having to face someone I don’t know in the future.

But today is Ye Huaner's birthday, and I can't spoil her fun.

She glanced at Ye Caiping's back. It was really difficult for her aunt to force herself to cater to the fisherman's hobby.

Thinking about it, Shen Manman walked over: “Auntie, do you want to play backgammon with us?”

Ye Caiping glanced at the chessboard not far away. This was a game of this era, where players moved the squares by throwing dice.

Shen Zhiyan rolled his eyes at her: “We are fishing.”

Shen Manman was annoyed, humph, he was so shameless, he looked for other women when shopping, and looked for Aunt Ye when fishing was so boring.

Did Aunt Ye deserve to be bored with him?

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "I really like fishing."

Shen Manman was suspicious: “Really?”

"certainly."

Shen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ye Caiping with a smile on his lips.

Shen Manman was stunned when she saw the two of them singing the same tune. If she hadn't known that he had a woman outside, she would have suspected that they were having something going on.

Ye Caiping pinched Shen Manman’s face again: “Besides, I fish for you to eat! Otherwise…well, it’s for lunch anyway.

Shen Manman was happy at this: “Haha, that’s right, if we rely on Daddy, we will all go hungry.”

Shen Zhiyan: “…”

Seeing that Chen Manman stopped playing backgammon, Ye Jiner and the other two also came over to fish.

They put out the bait and pulled the hook again and again, always mistaking whether there was fish or not, and they were having a lot of fun.

Shen Manman finally became happy, forget it, don’t want to think about stinky daddy’s mess anymore.

At least today her aunt, Jin'er and Huan'er played with her.

Soon it was noon, and they ate the fish caught by sisters Ye Caiping and Ye Jiner.

Various boiled fish, grilled fish, stewed fish...

Ye Caiping was as lucky as ever, catching one basket after another. Ye Jiner and her sister also caught two or three palm-sized fish.

Shen Zhiyan had nothing in his hands, not even a fry.

Shen Manman…didn’t have it either!

This was Shen Manman's first time fishing, and she didn't catch a single fish...

She used to laugh at her daddy’s fish fry every day!

Shen Manman looked at her hands in disbelief…How could it be?

Ye Caiping looked at Shen Manman with pity, this girl...could it be that she inherited her father's air force physique?

After dinner, everyone gave Ye Huaner gifts.

Ye Caiping gave a pair of jade katydid hairpins, Jin'er gave a homemade pearl flower, and Manman gave a bracelet. Shen Zhiyan gave Ye Huaner a safety lock collar.

Holding the collar, Ye Huaner was stunned.

Men generally cannot give women personal items, except for elders.

But the safety lock necklace means wishing the child safety. It is usually given by grandparents or parents, and rarely by other elders.

Ye Huaner glanced at Ye Caiping.

Ye Caiping looked at her with a smile.

Ye Huaner then happily took it and put it around her neck: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

The family of five played until the evening, had dinner, and watched the fireworks before returning home.

After returning to the Shen family, Shen Zhiyan personally sent them back to the village before leaving.

Ye Caiping said, "After you finish washing up, come to my room. I have something to tell you."

......

At 11 p.m. in the evening, Ye Caiping had just finished washing up and was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair.

"mother."

Sister Ye Jin'er walked in, both wearing pajamas.

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Come here."

As he said that, he pulled them to sit on the bed.

Ye Caiping sat in the middle, with her two daughters on her left and right.

Ye Caiping was a little embarrassed for a moment and coughed dryly: "It's been a long time since we talked to each other. Let's chat tonight."

Ye Jin'er looked at Ye Caiping with clear eyes: "Mom, are you going to marry Mr. Shen?"

Ye Caiping choked and almost choked on her own saliva.

She thought of a long string of lines, but didn't know where to start. Unexpectedly, this girl actually delivered a straight answer!

Ye Caiping was embarrassed and decided to throw the question out: "Uh...how did you know?"

Ye Jin'er pouted: "We are not fools."

Ye Huan'er: "My mother's new hairpin is made of the same material as Mr. Shen's."

When Shen Zhiyan brought the bridge builder Hong Lao for the first time, they noticed that both of them were wearing the same translucent green jade hairpins on their heads.

Although they have been keeping their distance, it seems the same as before, but it is different. There is always intimacy in both the visible and invisible aspects.

In addition, there is also the small fish that Mr. Shen gave me before.

Plus, Shen Zhiyan also gave Huan'er a safety lock collar today, doesn't this mean he wants to be a father to them?

Ye Caiping blushed: "Then..."

Ye Huaner hugged Ye Caiping and held her hand: "We both agree."

"We all hope that mom can find someone who understands us and supports us until old age." Ye Jin'er held Ye Caiping's other hand and rested her head on the crook of Ye Caiping's neck.

"And Mr. Shen is very good. In the past, grandma would occasionally say that she hoped mother would find one."

"We were a little worried at the time. We didn't know what that person would look like... but if that person is Mr. Shen, then we are really lucky and relieved."

Ye Huaner nodded.

Everyone is afraid of change.

In the originally beautiful and prosperous life, a person suddenly appeared.

He may be a thoughtful person and have a mean mother or child.

What they are about to face is the strangeness and the unknown.

But Mr. Shen... they knew him well. Apart from being cold, strict and small, there are no other shortcomings.

And Sister Man, they have become sisters for a long time.

Moreover, Shen Zhiyan is top-notch in everything, whether it is appearance, talent, character or background.

Why wouldn’t you want a father like this? Just think about it and you will feel proud!

Ye Huan'er asked, "Mom, when will you get engaged to Mr. Shen?"

Ye Caiping: "Well...wait for his family to come..."

"When are you coming?"

Ye Caiping: "It's almost there..."

She had been thinking about how to persuade the two girls to accept it tonight, but now they were urging her to get married?

Ye Huan'er said with a smile: "Hehe, when you get engaged, it will be fun if the people in Lijia Village know about this."

When Ye Jin'er heard this, her eyes lit up: "We don't have to worry about it, Grandma Zhao will pass this on. I really want to see their faces."

They were a little uncomfortable at first, but when they thought about slapping Li Zhiyuan in the face, the two sisters became excited.

Less than a month after divorcing his mother, Li Zhiyuan got married.

Why should mother keep guarding me?

If my mother doesn't get married, the Li family will think that she is still thinking about him!

This person is Mr. Shen, who is hundreds of times better than Li Zhiyuan in every way!

Ye Caiping breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them looking so excited.

......

At the same time, Wei was at Ye Daquan's house, discussing the arrangements for the wedding with the eldest wife, Old Lady Ye and his wife, and Second Uncle Ye's family.

Ye Erquan also sat aside with a stern face.

Wei said, "Anyway, it's just like any other banquet. I'll trouble you, sister-in-law and second aunt, to take the sisters-in-law and aunts in the village to wash vegetables and cut meat."

At this moment, a cackle sounded, and Mrs. Zhao came in, twisting her body and stepping on her small feet: "Hey, do we still have to work?"

Wei frowned and said, "That's natural. Who doesn't need everyone's help when hosting a banquet?"

Mrs. Zhao pouted and said, "When Caiping holds a banquet, she invites a cook from outside. We just sit aside and wait for the food. Oh, the last time Daquan's family held a banquet, they also invited a cook from outside. What's the matter? Your family can't afford to hire a cook, Erquan's wife?"

Wei's face was choked and looked like a dye vat, with all kinds of colors.

Mrs. Zhao continued to despise him: "You keep saying you are a wealthy family. How can a wealthy family treat others to a drink without paying for it?"

Wei almost had a heart attack: "I, I didn't say no... Auntie, you should go back first!"

Old Mrs. Ye took a deep breath and looked at the servant beside her.

The servants of Ye Daquan's family hurriedly asked Mrs. Zhao to leave, as the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public.

Mrs. Zhao left reluctantly.

Wei took this opportunity to look at Ye Erquan and said, "Master, you heard it too. After all, it was our family that invited the guests to do the work. Big brother has set a precedent, so we should ask the outside cook to come back and do the work."

Ye Erquan rolled his eyes and said, "It's none of my business! If you want to treat me, go ahead and treat me yourself! I told you, I won't spend a penny."

Wei's eyes were red.

Old Mrs. Ye was too lazy to say anything more: "Second brother, please give me a definite answer! Should we hire a chef from outside or do we do it ourselves? If we do it ourselves, we should prepare everything now."

Wei held his chest tightly and almost vomited blood.

Originally, she wanted to keep it vague and let the villagers do it themselves.

But Mrs. Zhao jumped out and suggested hiring a cook. If she didn't, wouldn't she be overshadowed by the first wife and Ye Caiping?

Wei said with a fake smile: "Please hire a cook!"

Old Lady Ye nodded: "That's fine. As for the dishes, they were very good at Xuan'er's scholar banquet last time. The menu has been given to you. You can add or subtract as you see fit!"

Wei choked. Ye Xuan’s scholar banquet was so sumptuous, with all meat dishes!

Second Aunt Ye frowned: "If you want to save money, you can use the recipe from when Wuquan got married."

Wei covered her chest again. She wanted to use the one from Wuquan’s wedding, but with the banquet at Ye Daquan’s house as a comparison, how could she use it?

He forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Second Aunt. We'll do as the scholar's banquet said."

Old Lady Ye sighed, "Well... we've almost finished discussing everything. Everyone knows the bride-picking process, so let's go back first!"

One by one, everyone turned and left.

Mrs. Du looked at Mrs. Wei's back and shook her head. She was really stingy and trying to put on a brave face.

......

Soon it was October 15th, the day Ye Peng was getting married.

Wei invited all his relatives and friends.

The house is filled with all kinds of red cloth and red flowers, making it very festive.

Soon, the wedding party came back. A group of children in the village ran after the wedding procession with laughter, and almost all the villagers surrounded them.

"Wow, this is a big red sedan chair!"

“And ritual music!”

"Look at Ye Peng. This suit is so beautiful, with embroidery on it. He looks so handsome and energetic today. He looks like the young master of a wealthy family!"

Ye Peng was seen sitting on a tall horse, wearing a bright red wedding gown with exquisite embroidery on it, which was extremely gorgeous.

In front of them there were one or two rows of wedding processions beating gongs and drums.

Behind was a big red sedan chair carried by four people.

Such a grand ceremony was extremely rare. When farmers got married, the bride and groom, who were poor, didn't even have wedding dresses. They just walked over covered with a piece of red cloth.

Those with better conditions would make their own red robes and ride in ox carts or donkey carts to welcome the bride.

Therefore, Ye Peng's wedding ceremony today was quite grand.

When Wei saw this, his heart, which had been bleeding because of spending money for the past few days, finally came to his senses, and he smiled with such contentment.

Hearing the praises from the people around him, he quickly smiled and said, "I carefully selected this daughter-in-law. Not only is she my niece, but I also know her background very well, so we are even closer relatives."

"Today is just the beginning, our family's good days are still to come!"

This scene seemed to have washed away all the previous dirt and shame, making people envy it.

Sitting on a tall horse, Ye Peng couldn't help but look towards Ye Caiping's house.

His comedy band was so loud, she must have heard it!

I really want to know how she feels now as he marries another woman in such a grand manner.

At this time, the wedding procession stopped in front of Ye Er's house.

The bride was helped down by the matchmaker.

The villagers looked at the bride's wedding dress and laughed: "Is this the phoenix crown and bridal robe? What a beautiful dress!"

Wei became even more proud and hurried back to the house to sit down.

Then comes the worship ceremony and entering the bridal chamber.

The villagers were making a fuss in the bridal chamber and picking up the veil. The villagers finally saw the phoenix crown on the bride's head and started to praise her.

Wei Xiaojuan is quite thin, but she is a little dark, which cannot be concealed even with makeup.

Ye Peng held her hand and said, "Xiaojuan, I will treat you well in the future. With me here, no one will bully you. I will also give you all the good things and spoil you like a young lady."

Wei Xiaojuan was stunned. She didn't expect to hear his promise. She felt embarrassed and touched.

The people making trouble in the bridal chamber had never seen anyone so unrestrained and bold, and they kept urging the two to drink from the wedding cup.

Ye Peng's emotions also surged amid the crowd's cheers.

He meant what he said.

Those who once abandoned him are no longer worthy of existing in his heart from now on.

From now on, he will give all his love to his wife.

Let everyone see that he is responsible and a good husband, and my mother will be a good mother-in-law. Marrying him is like falling into a blessed nest.

There are some things that money cannot buy.

Let Ye Jiner see what she has missed!

......

After the bridal chamber, it’s time to have a banquet.

Wei was afraid that others didn't know, so she always said, "I always ask the cook to come back and cook. You don't need to help with the cooking."

But when the dish was served, the villagers all looked at each other in surprise.

I saw that the dishes were quite large, with eight meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

When the villagers were getting ready to cook, they picked up a few pieces of meat from the top and found that the bottom was actually all vegetarian.

There was either a big bowl of radishes or a large pile of green vegetables or sauerkraut, and the steamed fish was the only all-meat dish.

Old Mrs. Ye was speechless, but she was too lazy to say anything to her.
