"yes."

Li Qicheng respectfully responded and then got up to greet Uncle Ye's cousin.

Li Qicheng quickly told the children to greet their elders.

Since he is the old man's friend, he is essentially the children's grandfather.

The seven Calabash Brothers, along with Xiao Yanbao, stood up and walked towards Ye Hong. They stood in a neat row, their backs straight, their military posture impeccable.

Ye Hong looked at them with a smile, and then complained to the old man of the Li family:

"You're as strict as ever! You even use military-style management on your grandchildren. Aren't you afraid of tiring them out?"

"A sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned, and children need to be educated from a young age so they can understand rules and discipline. Especially our little ones, they've been very mischievous since they were little, so we have to use military-style management."

As he spoke, the old man of the Li family gave the children a look, and they immediately stood at attention, shouting in unison at Ye Hong:

"Hello, Grandpa Ye! Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa Ye!"

Ye Hong's face immediately lit up with a smile. He waved to the children and said, "Good, good, good, the children are so well-behaved!"

The children behaved quite well, and the old man of the Li family nodded with great satisfaction. He then gave the children some instructions:

"Another grandfather will be coming over in a little while, so please remember to greet him politely."

The children responded in unison, "Grandpa, don't worry, we understand."

The old man of the Li family smiled and beckoned to Xiao Yanbao, signaling her to come to his side.

Little Yanbao understood, and hurriedly ran to his grandfather's side with his little steps, obediently taking his grandfather's hand with his own.

The old man from the Li family immediately showed off to Ye Hong, saying, "Old Ye, this is my precious little granddaughter, isn't she adorable!"

They had discussed related issues together when they were young and unmarried.

They all hope to have a daughter in the future, a sweet and caring little girl, just thinking about it makes them feel happy.

Although neither of them fulfilled their wishes in the end, after many twists and turns, Ye Hong had a grateful adopted daughter, and the old man of the Li family also had a well-behaved and sensible granddaughter.

In a sense, it can be considered that his wish has been fulfilled.

"Cute! And very pretty, like a little doll."

Ye Hong's gaze fell on Xiao Yanbao. After a brief look, he gave the old man of the Li family a thumbs up: "You old man are quite lucky to have such a beautiful and lovely granddaughter!"

The old man of the Li family looked smug and said, "Aren't you envious? My little granddaughter is so well-behaved. Not only is she cute, but she is also very smart. She can write very beautiful calligraphy and can also dance classical dance!"

In the old man's eyes, his little granddaughter is the best.

He praised his granddaughter as if she were a rare treasure, his eyes shining brightly.

"My son is amazing!"

Ye Hong also praised Xiao Yanbao from the bottom of his heart, waved to her, and said kindly, "Good girl, come to Grandpa Ye's side."

Xiao Yanbao looked up at her grandfather, and after receiving his permission, she walked to Ye Hong's side and politely said:

"Hello Grandpa Ye, my name is Li Xinyan. Grandpa usually calls me Yanbao, and you can call me Yanbao too, Grandpa Ye."

She was poised and confident, showing no stage fright whatsoever when facing Ye Hong, whom she was meeting for the first time.

Ye Hong unconsciously reached out and patted the little boy's head, praising him:

"Good, what a clever and charming little girl! She's really very likable!"

Just then, Li Qicheng, who had gone out to fetch someone, stepped in. His expression was somewhat complicated as he reported to the Li family patriarch:

"Dad, I've invited Uncle Ye's...cousin over."

Old Master Li didn't notice anything amiss and hurriedly said, "Quickly, invite them in!"

Li Qicheng's expression became even more complicated, but he didn't say anything more and turned to invite the person in.

The Li family's Calabash Brothers and Little Yanbao were all ready to greet their elders.

but……

As Li Qicheng respectfully welcomed someone into the house, everyone's gaze involuntarily shifted downwards, and they were all dumbfounded.

They all thought an old man would come in, but it turned out to be a tiny, inexperienced baby.

He looked to be about the same age as Xiao Yanbao, but he had a more mature air about him. He was dressed in a Chinese-style outfit with frog buttons, cloud patterns, and embroidery, looking like an old man who liked traditional culture.

He had a string of beads around his neck and held two shiny, polished walnuts in his hands.

He had striking features and a graceful bearing, displaying the demeanor of a gentleman even at a young age.

Aside from his childlike appearance, his fashion sense and overall demeanor are completely unlike what a child should have.

"..."

Everyone present fell silent.

"this……"

The old man of the Li family turned to look at Ye Hong, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"This is my cousin, Ye Ming!"

Ye Hong smiled and introduced him, saying with great pride, "Don't let his young age fool you, he's of a very high generation."

Ye Hong seemed to find it very amusing to have such a baby cousin.

This perfectly illustrates the old saying: "The radish may be small, but the generation is great!"

The Li family members fell silent once again.

Xiao Yanbao, in particular, was speechless and exasperated. She even wanted to find a crack in the ground to disappear into and hide herself completely, not wanting to face the fact that Ye Ming was Ye Hong's grandfather's cousin.
