They went out for a big meal last night, and since they slept during the day, the two brothers played until very late before falling asleep.
I originally thought that they would definitely stay in bed today, but after Chu Yue got up, he reached into the quilt and cooled their fat feet, and they were woken up by the cold.
Mu Tou always woke up easily when he slept. Usually, he would wake up at the slightest noise, and today was no exception. However, he was still groggy when he opened his eyes. He yawned, and there was eye mucus hanging around his eye sockets. He rubbed his eyes and called out sweetly, "Dad?"
The expression on his face seemed to be saying: The child was sleeping well, why did you wake me up?
Chu Yue rubbed his head, lifted him out of the quilt, and while putting clothes on him, he said, "We are going to see great-grandmother and great-grandfather today."
"Great-grandmother and great-grandfather? What are those?"
"They are Dad's grandpa and grandma."
"oh."
After he gets dressed, I prepare toothpaste and water for him and let him brush his teeth by himself.
Then he called Shitou to wake him up. He usually liked to stay in bed, but Chu Yue had to use some sugar-coated bullets to trick him into getting up. Sure enough, when he heard that there was something delicious, he immediately got up from the bed without any hesitation.
In fact, the one who likes to stay in bed the most in their family is Yang Liu. Chu Yue thinks that his son must have inherited this bad habit of staying in bed from her.
However, because today was the first time she was going to meet his relatives, even though she didn't want to get up, Yang Liu still got up from the bed. She closed her eyes and put on her clothes, then brushed her teeth and washed her face. Cosmetics were relatively scarce in that era, so she applied some vanishing cream.
But because she has a good foundation, she looks like a great beauty even without makeup.
Seeing her rarely gesturing in front of the mirror, Chu Yue came over, hugged her from behind, and said with a smile: "No need to take a picture, you look very good."
"Don't fool me on such an important occasion today."
"Okay, don't be nervous. My grandparents will definitely like you." As he said that, he took her hand and walked out.
The two children also changed into festive red cotton-padded jackets today, and wore small red hats. Their faces were chubby, white and plump, just like the fat dolls in New Year pictures. In short, they were adorable no matter how you looked at them.
They were traveling with two children and carrying a lot of things, so they didn't squeeze into the bus and took a tricycle directly.
Originally, one bike would be enough for the four of them, but Yang Liu was afraid that they had too much stuff with them and it would be too inconvenient for one person to ride alone, so they took two bikes.
Shitou always gets very excited when he rides in a car. He claps his hands, chatters non-stop, looks around, and seems curious about everything.
Mu Tou was much quieter. He sat obediently in his mother's arms and didn't move.
As for what to say when they meet the elders later, Yang Liu taught them yesterday. I hope they won’t let me down.
The Ye family is also in chaos now.
The old lady got up early in the morning and told the aunt in the house what dishes to cook, and most of them were Chu Yue's favorites. But then she felt it was not enough. After all, it was the first time her granddaughter-in-law came to visit, and it would be too shabby to have only vegetarian dishes.
Finally, Ye Heping was asked to go out and buy roast duck and chicken. Since there was no time to stew the soup in the morning, he had to save it for lunch.
Anyway, their whole family is here today, so he has to keep them here for a day no matter what. It would be best if they could stay for a few more days so that she can have some fun.
As for Mr. Ye, he would get up in the morning on weekdays, water the flowers and plants in the yard, and then practice Tai Chi there.
When he knew that Chu Yue's family was coming today, he was very excited. He stood at the door with his neck stretched out.
Ye Fanhua was usually busy outside and never at home. Today was such an important day, and he didn't want to be tied down at home by his grandparents. Seeing his grandparents being so serious, he grumbled, "Grandpa and grandma, why don't you make such a big fuss when I usually come home for a meal? But when Chu Yue comes back, you two are so eager to bring out a full banquet? Oh, you really are partial to one over the other."
Old Madam Ye was about to swing the spatula at him, "You little brat, you even want to compare this to Chu Yue? He's been through a lot in the countryside for a few years, unlike you who live a life of luxury at home. I have to nourish him well."
Ye Heping laughed helplessly at the side and said, "You know that Chu Yue is the one they like the most among our brothers and sisters. Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
"Hey, he always has a stern face. I don't know why he is so likable."
As he spoke, he was pulled outside by Old Man Ye. "If you have nothing to do, just wait at the door or at the intersection ahead and help pick up people later."
"Come on, I'm going to make you two old people happy today while I'm at home."
As he said this, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked along the road towards the bus intersection. After he had taken a few steps, he saw them coming in a tricycle.
"Cousin." Ye Fanhua waved at them.
Then run there immediately.
Yang Liu thought the rest of the journey was not far, so he asked someone to take him there.
After Chu Yue came down, he introduced her: "This is my cousin, Ye Fanhua."
"Hello, my name is Yang Liu."
Ye Fanhua grinned and followed suit, saying, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Then he looked at the two chubby babies in their arms and reached out to pinch their faces, but was stopped by Chu Yue, "Call me uncle."
"Cousin, don't be so stingy. You can't break it by pinching it."
"If you want to force a baby, go give birth to it yourself." Chu Yue threw the two bags to him and walked forward holding the stone.
Ye Fanhua, carrying two large bags of things, was exhausted at the back. He said indignantly, "Cousin, I thought you would change after a few years of experience in the countryside. How come you are still so sharp-tongued?" He looked at his sister-in-law beside him, then ran to his side in a very servile manner and whispered, "You speak so harshly, aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will dislike you?"
Chu Yue: "My venomous tongue is only directed at you."
When Shi Tou saw the person behind him carrying two big bags, he suddenly laughed, as if he remembered something.
"You little guy, you saw your father bullying me, but instead of helping me, you even laughed at me. You really are father and son."
Yang Liu had heard Chu Yue say before that he and his cousin from his uncle's family had been best friends since childhood, so she didn't find it strange that they were fighting.
Arriving at the door, Ye Fanhua opened it and shouted into the room at the top of his voice: "Grandpa, grandma, your precious grandson is back. He was waiting here just now. How come there is no one here for a while?"
