Ye Xi stopped a passerby and asked about the stall selling chicken legs. The passerby saw that although Ye Xi was young, he was very polite and couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

Ye Xi soon found out the truth and said, "Dad, I heard it's a man, and he seems to have a family."

Not a widow with children.

Mu Ci said, "Let's go and take a look."

Ye Xi knew that he would not give up until he met someone, and she had gotten used to it over the years.

The stall selling chicken legs is set up in a busy spot in the market, and the aroma is so fragrant that you can smell it from far away. Because this stall only sells chicken legs, the cost is higher and chicken legs are more expensive. Ye Xi thought that fewer people would buy them, but there was actually a long queue. He originally wanted to squeeze to the front to see what the boss looked like, but an old lady with wrinkles on her face glared at him and seemed very dissatisfied with him. Mu Ci smiled apologetically, pulled Ye Xi over, and walked to the end of the line.

After waiting for a whole incense stick, it was finally their turn. The boss said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, business is so good today that all the chicken legs are sold out. Can you come back another day?"

Mu Ci and Ye Xi both saw clearly that the boss had pockmarks on his face, droopy eyes, and bronze skin. He did not look like Ye An at all. In front of him was an iron pot filled with chicken legs, but the pot was indeed empty.

Mu Ci said, "We are just passing by and will probably leave tomorrow. What a pity."

The boss said a few more polite words, and Mu Ci nodded slightly and was about to leave when suddenly something ran over and hit his leg.

Mu Ci lowered his eyes and saw a little boy with two buns on his head. He was not even as tall as his knees. He was holding a cloth bag and fell to the ground because he did not stand firmly.

The child didn't cry after falling down. He got up by himself and patted his trouser legs. The boss rushed out and picked up the child, smiling and said, "Little ancestor, why are you here? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." The child smiled, revealing a row of missing white teeth, and said in a baby voice, "Business is good, Daddy asked me to deliver it."

The little boy handed the cloth bag he had been holding to the boss, who took it, rubbed his head lovingly, took out a candy from his pocket, stuffed it into the boy's mouth, carried him to the front of the stall, and said to Mu Ci, "Customer, we have some more now, do you want more?"

When the cloth bag was opened, there was a bowl covered by a plate inside, and there were indeed a few chicken legs in the bowl.

Mu Ci took out his purse and bought two.

The boss wrapped it up for him. The boy held the candy in his mouth, clapped his hands, and said pleasantly, "Thank you, uncle, thank you for coming!"

Mu Ci saw that the little boy had a pair of lively peach blossom eyes and slightly chubby cheeks, which looked very much like Ye Xi when he was a child, and he couldn't help but have some ideas.

"Is this your child?" Mu Ci asked the boss.

"It would be great if it were so." The boss sighed enviously, "This is my neighbor's child. This stall actually belongs to my neighbor. He has something to do these days and can't go out, so he asked me to take care of it."

Mu Ci: “…”

"Dad, Dad!" Ye Xi hurriedly pulled Mu Ci's clothes.

He also saw the little boy and thought that the little boy looked a little like him. Could he be his younger brother?

Mu Ci understood and said, "I...I have something to do and want to find the stall owner. Can you tell me where he lives?"

Seeing that he was sincere and had a child with him, the boss thought that their town was small and they knew people everywhere, so he was not afraid of anyone doing bad things to him.

The boss said, “Okay.”

The boss picked up the little boy and coaxed him, "Tuan Tuan, someone is looking for your father. Uncle Niu Er is still watching the stall. Can you do him a favor and take him to your house?"

round and round? !

Mu Ci's breathing stagnated.

When the little boy heard that he was being asked to help, his eyes curved into crescents and he said crisply, "Okay."

"Uncle, come here!" Tuantuan waved.

Mu Ci followed behind with Ye Xi, and couldn't help asking, "Your name is Tuan Tuan, what's your last name?"

Tuantuan said, "Same last name as daddy."

Mu Ci asked: "What's your father's surname...what's his name?"

This Tuantuan looks to be two or three years old, so he should be able to say his name.

But Tuantuan seemed not to hear. He kept chewing the candy in his mouth. After chewing, he slowly stretched out a little paw.

This little clever ghost!

Mu Ci laughed and glanced at Ye Xi beside him. Ye Xi silently took out his favorite rice dumpling candy from his sleeve and stuffed it into Tuantuan's little tender paws.

"Tuan Tuan, tell me, is your father's last name Ye?"

Tuantuan held the candy in his hand and smiled until his teeth were exposed: "Daddy's last name is not Ye."

Mu Ci: “…”

Is it just a coincidence that this child looks like Tuantuan?

Mu Ci still asked: "What's your father's name?"

Tuantuan said: "Daddy's surname is Mu, and his name is Mu An!"

Mu Ci: “…”

"Which Mu, can Tuan Tuan write?"

"Tuan Tuan Hui!"

Tuantuan nodded enthusiastically, picked up a branch from the roadside, stuck out his little butt, and wrote a crooked word "Mu".

"Dad, he has the same last name as you... Is he really your younger brother?"

Ye Xi was delighted. Although the other person's surname was not Ye, why did it happen to be the same surname as Mu Ci? This is very telling.

Mu Ci was also uncontrollably excited. Could it be that Ye Xiaoan still remembered him? After more than three years and thousands of days and nights, is he finally found?

The guide Tuantuan took his short legs and brought Mu Ci's brother Ye Xi to stop at the door of a house.

There was a simple chicken leg painted on the door panel of this house. Mu Ci was in a trance. He had seen Ye An draw the same pattern before, and he became more and more certain in his heart.

Tuan Tuan went forward and knocked on the door. Soon the door opened and another little boy who looked almost exactly like Tuan Tuan rolled out. The two children hugged each other.

"Yuanyuan, come here quickly, there's candy!"

Tuantuan dug out the half-eaten rice dumpling candy that was stained with his saliva and stuffed it into another child's mouth.

The two children had the same hair in their hair, wore the same clothes, and held hands, smiling at each other. They were as cute as a pair of jade dolls.

Mu Ci: “…”

Ye Xi's eyes widened: "Dad, how come there are two brothers who are exactly the same?!"

...are twins.

Mu Ci didn't expect that Ye An was pregnant with twins. It must have been very difficult for her to take care of two children.

Mu Ci's eyes were hot, and he whispered, "What are your names... It's your full name, do you know?"

Yuanyuan is more honest than Tuantuan and is more considerate. Holding a rice dumpling candy in her mouth, she said with twinkling eyes, "Tuantuan is called Heng'er, Yuanyuan is called Ke'er, and daddy said you are not allowed to tell anyone."

Ye Heng, Ye Ke...

Mu Ci hugged the two children in turn, rubbed their heads, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow.

There was no one in the yard, only one room. Mu Ci walked over and Ye Xi wanted to follow him, but Mu Ci said, "Xi'er, can you help look after the brothers first?"

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, then nodded sensibly. His father must want to be alone with that man, and for the sake of his father, he could give in.

Mu Ci rushed into the room like a gust of wind, leaving Ye Xi and the two buns alone. Ye Xi thought about it, took out all the rice dumpling candies from her sleeves, and squatted in front of Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan.

"Brother." Ye Xi said calmly, "Come and call me brother, okay?"

The two buns were shocked when they saw the tiger and called out in a particularly flattering and sweet voice: "Brother!"

The corners of Ye Xi's mouth curled up uncontrollably as she hugged the two fragrant and soft buns. Be reserved, be reserved. He is the crown prince of a country, personally raised by the queen, and is a favorite of the queen mother...

Emma, ​​the feeling of being a brother is sweeter than eating rice dumpling candy.

At this time, Ye An was in the house, preparing the seasoning for marinating chicken legs.

He came here two years ago. After leaving the imperial city, he was pregnant and it was inconvenient for him to hide. His belly was getting bigger and bigger like a balloon. He was already seven or eight months old at the age of six months. Ye An could not walk, so he found a doctor to take a look. The doctor was horrified after the examination and said that he was pregnant with twins, but he had never seen a pulse like this before. He went to find a midwife, but the midwife found out that he was a boy and did not dare to deliver the baby. Fortunately, a traveling doctor named Jiang passed by. Doctor Jiang's ancestor had been an imperial physician, and he suspected that his pulse was that of a royal family. Ye An lied that he was a prince who had committed a crime and was exiled. Doctor Jiang felt sorry for him, so he found medicine according to the records of his ancestors to help him deliver the babies. Both children were born very healthy.

After giving birth, Ye An rested for a month under the care of Doctor Jiang. When Doctor Jiang was about to leave, Ye An changed into men's clothes again, said goodbye to Doctor Jiang, and set off with her two children. After arriving in Yunzhou, she felt it was suitable for seclusion, so she stayed.

He had a rough life, and it was very reluctant for him to keep this baby, but the children were innocent, and he developed feelings for them while they were in his belly. Although they were twins, they were not very noisy when they were in his belly, and they were particularly attached to him after they were born. Ye An loves the two children very much and is determined to take good care of them and raise them to adulthood. He has lived with the children and depended on them for the past few years.

He had a lot of money with him and originally wanted to become a rich man, buy a house and land, and hire some servants to serve him. However, he was afraid that a rich man appearing out of nowhere would arouse suspicion, so he simply started his own business and hired people to raise a lot of chickens. The eggs could be eaten as much as they wanted, the chicken legs could be kept for frying and selling, and the chicken was sold in the restaurant. The restaurant in Yunzhou was his business, but most people didn't know about it.

Because it took a long time to raise a chicken in ancient times, Ye An's chicken legs were not available for sale very often. However, every time he opened the stall, there would be a long queue of people lining up to buy, and his business was very prosperous.

A few days ago, Yuanyuan sprained her leg, so Ye An had to stay at home to take care of her and asked Niu Er next door to take his place at the stall. Hearing that more people would buy this time, Ye An made a few more on the spot and asked Tuantuan to deliver them to Niu Er. The town is not big, everyone is familiar with the people, and the folk customs are simple. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, the two naughty cubs, have always been free-range and are very smart. Ye An is not worried about the children's safety.

"Tuantuan, have you sent them all to Uncle Niu?"

Ye An heard the door open and asked without raising his head.

Tuantuan didn't say anything. Ye An turned around and saw a strange man standing at the door.

This was an extremely handsome man, with an upright figure, picturesque facial features, and a refined and elegant demeanor. His pair of pitch-black eyes were like cold stars and deep pools, staring at him without blinking. It was really rude to stare at people like this, but Ye An was not angry at all.

There is such a good-looking person in the world, and he’s a man... Ye An’s heart trembled uncontrollably.

“You… who are you?”

Ye An tried his best to treat the other person as an ordinary person like Niu Er, but he couldn't help but secretly glance at him a few times.

Mu Ci had been watching Ye An silently for a long time when he discovered him. Three years had passed, and Ye An's appearance had not changed at all, except that he was wearing ordinary cloth clothes. His face was round, his body was well-proportioned, and his pair of watery peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and seemed to be angry but not angry. There was some black sauce on his slender fingers.

Mu Ci looked at him greedily, fearing that if he wasn't careful, the other party would slip away again.

After Ye An spoke, Mu Ci concealed the affection in his eyes and said in a gentle voice: "I am a neighbor who just moved to the town. I have tried the chicken legs you made and I like them very much. I want to buy some more to take away."

Ye Anqi asked, "How do you know I made the chicken legs?"

Mu Ci said: "The vendor at the market told me, and your son Tuantuan brought me here."

Mu Ci pointed outside the window. Ye An, with his sharp eyes, immediately saw his sons’ sticking up little butts, surrounding a boy who was a few years older than them, and they didn’t know what they were doing.

It might be the kids from the neighbors’ families coming over to play. The kids in this town are not shy about strangers.

Ye An turned his attention back to the man in front of him. Just talking to him made his face hot. "Sorry, we don't have any chicken legs ready. I'll make some more. Can you wait a moment? I promise it won't take too long."

Mu Ci smiled: "Sure. I've been waiting for a long time, so it doesn't matter how long I wait."

Ye An was suddenly struck by his handsome and gentle smile. His face turned red and he began to stutter.

"How much do you want?"

Mu Ci said, "There are five people in my family, one for each of us."

Ye An hurriedly ordered the chicken legs and put them into the sauce. He had just forgotten that marinating would take time. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and wanted to talk to the man for a while.

"I'm sorry, please don't be anxious. You'll have to wait a little longer, including the marinating time."

Mu Ci nodded.

Ye An looked at his stunning face and couldn't help but ask, "You...you have five people in your family. Are you married?"

But after asking the question without thinking, he wanted to pinch himself. How could such an outstanding man in ancient times not have a family?

Mu Ci said: "It's done. But three years ago, my wife left me for some unavoidable reasons..."

Ye An asked unconsciously: "Do you have any children?"

"……have."

Mu Ci looked out the window. Ye Xi was playing hide-and-seek with Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan. Even if he acted arrogantly in front of outsiders, he was still a child after all, and having fun was his nature.

Ye An took a look and said sincerely: "So that's your child. He's really good-looking."

Although she doesn't look much like the man in front of her, her temperament is similar. In comparison, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are still cute little kids.

Ye An thought for a moment and said, "My wife and I had a difficult birth a few years ago and left behind these twins."

The wife who was declared to have died in childbirth: "..."

The husband, who had to leave home, was completely unaware and even tried to comfort his wife: "It's all over, don't be sad."

Mu Ci smiled and nodded: "Well, not sad."

Because after going through thousands of mountains and rivers, I have found it.

Ye An didn't know what was wrong with him. He chatted so much with a stranger all of a sudden.

Maybe he is just like him, a widower, and they can sympathize with each other, so there is nothing wrong with chatting for a while longer, right?

Ye An secretly tried to find an excuse for himself, and then said, "You are new here, can you tell me your name?"

Mu Ci thought, since Ye Xiaoan’s surname was Mu, then he should have the surname Ye.

Mu Ci said: "My surname is Ye, and my name is Huaixuan."

"Surname Ye?!" Ye An was surprised and asked, "Are you from the royal family?"

Seeing that he was on guard all of a sudden, Mu Ci was prepared and corrected him, "It's the night of the night."

I see. Ye An breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then can I call you Brother Ye... From now on, we are neighbors. Let me introduce myself. My name is Mu An."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Ci said directly: "Xiao An."

Ye An couldn't help but tremble. It was just a simple name, but the other party's voice was too gentle. It went into his ears and he was a little overwhelmed.

I always feel that this Brother Ye looks familiar. How is that possible?
