After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 745: Ye Xianglei (Part 2)

If it weren't for his family, Ye Xianglei would not have gone to the capital to be an apprentice, let alone go to sea on the Qin family's merchant ship.

In recent years, every time Mrs. Ye saw Ye Juan'er and her husband worrying about their youngest son, she felt uncomfortable.

Now the child not only returned safely, but also grew taller and stronger.

To Old Lady Ye, everything else was no big deal.

Qingtian and Ye Xianglei were also confused by Old Lady Ye's calm reaction.

Qingtian said hesitantly, "Grandma, aren't we worried that she can't handle it..."

"That's right. Your aunt isn't as open-minded as I am." Old Madam Ye said, rolling her eyes at Ye Xianglei. "You too, kid, knowing your mother wouldn't accept it, still insisted on doing this!"

"Auntie, this girl followed me across the ocean to Da Qi. I can't let her down!"

"You've finally said something sensible!" Old Madam Ye said with a hint of satisfaction, "Now that everything's been discussed, why don't you invite them over for breakfast?"

Ye Xianglei ran out happily: "I'll go call her!"

Mrs. Ye then turned around and asked Qingtian with some concern: "What do Westerners eat? Can they get used to our food?"

Qingtian shuddered when he thought of the extremely hard bread and stinky cheese he had eaten with Madam Lu before.

"It's okay. Since she has come to Daqi with my uncle, she will live in Daqi in the future. She will have to get used to it."

Ye Laoer, who was carrying the breakfast he bought home, saw Annata as soon as he entered the door. He was so scared that he almost threw away the bowl of soy milk in his hand.

"Qingtian, you, I, I just said I saw it yesterday..." Ye Laoer said incoherently.

He wanted to say that he thought he saw a female ghost last night, but it was broad daylight now and he could see clearly that the other person was just a Westerner, so he suddenly didn't know how to say it.

"Oh, second uncle, I was afraid that you couldn't sleep after you went back last night, so I kept it a secret from you!" Qingtian quickly changed the subject and pulled Annata to Old Lady Ye.

"Grandma, this is Annata." After Qingtian introduced her to Old Lady Ye, he turned around and muttered several Western words to Annata, telling her that this was his grandmother, and whether Ye Xianglei's mother could accept the two of them all depended on his grandmother's help.

Annata quickly imitated the pronunciation of "Sunny" and called out "Grandma".

Unexpectedly, several people around started laughing.

Anasta was suddenly at a loss.

Qingtian quickly explained to her and told her to just follow Ye Xianglei and call her "Auntie".

A few people talked for a long time before sitting down and starting to eat breakfast.

Unexpectedly, Annata was quite accustomed to the Ye family's food. She ate soy milk, fried dough sticks and pickles with relish.

Ye Xianglei also helped explain: "We came back on Da Qi's ship. The food we ate on the ship was ours. Anata has long been accustomed to it."

Seeing that Annata really enjoyed eating and was not just pretending, Old Lady Ye immediately became satisfied with her.

"It's good, otherwise you won't be used to it after you marry here."

When Ye Xianglei heard this, his face turned red with joy.

As long as Old Lady Ye is willing to help, it will be easier for him to get past his parents.

After breakfast, Old Lady Ye asked Qingtian and Ye Xianglei to accompany Annata first, and then asked Ye Laoer to go to Ye Juaner's house to deliver a message.

"Just tell them that Qingtian is back and ask them to come over for lunch."

Now, only Ye Juaner and her husband are left in the village. Ye Juaner's cooking is not good, and Liu Quan's cooking is just so-so, so old lady Ye always finds an excuse to invite them over for dinner every now and then.

So when they heard Ye Laoer coming to deliver the message, Ye Juaner and Liu Quan had no doubts at all and thanked him profusely.

The two of them did some work in the fields in the morning, went home to pack up, changed their clothes, and went straight to the Ye family.

Qingtian was sweeping the yard. When she saw them come in, she immediately stopped what she was doing and went forward to greet them.

"Aunt, uncle, you are here, come in and sit down!"

Although it has always been like this, every time they see Qingtian coming back to help clean up the yard, talk to Old Madam Ye, and be polite to their relatives without any princess airs, they still feel deeply moved.

When the villagers first learned the truth about Qingtian's life story, they all thought that Ye Lao Da and his wife had raised the child for two years in vain.

But who would have thought that seven or eight years have passed, Qingtian has grown into a big girl, and she is still as good to the Ye family as ever, a hundred times better than many people's granddaughters or daughters.

When Ye Juaner and her husband arrived, lunch was already on the table.

Qingtian greeted them with a smile, "Aunt, Uncle, today's meal is cooked by the cook I brought back.

"Her cooking skills were taught by my mother herself. Come along and try it to see how it tastes and how much of my mother's skills she has inherited."

It seemed that only at this time did Ye Juaner realize that Qingtian was a princess, and a princess deeply loved by the emperor, the queen, and Prince Rui and his wife.

"Then we're going to have a feast today." The two said as they sat down.

After the meal started, Old Mrs. Ye started talking.

"Oh, I just heard from Qingtian that the Qin Mansion recently had a ship return from the West.

"I heard that several people had died along the way. After we reached the shore, we went to their families one by one to tell them the news, and every family was crying their hearts out.

“As far as I’m concerned, going to the West can earn you a lot of money, but it’s also too dangerous.
