In the house, the old man and the old lady were arguing about whether the pork belly should be braised or sweet and sour.
The old man felt that Chu Yue must have suffered a lot in the countryside in recent years, so he made the meat into braised form. He loved eating braised pork when he was a child.
The old lady thought that this was the first time her granddaughter-in-law came to visit, and girls like sweet food, so it would be best to make it sweet and sour.
Anyway, each person has his own reasons.
Neither of them gave in.
Ye Heping and his wife Mei Nan stood aside, watching the two old people arguing with each other, laughing with their hands covering their mouths.
No wonder people say that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. Because of these two elderly people, their family is so happy every day.
After Ye Fanhua came in, he put his things aside. Seeing the two of them staring at each other, he took a breath and said hurriedly, "Grandpa and grandma, please stop arguing. Your precious grandson has arrived."
The old lady glared at the old man and immediately walked towards the door in small steps. Seeing the family of four coming in, she was so happy that she burst into tears, "Xiao Yue, you little bastard are finally back. I missed you so much."
"Grandma, I'm back. Besides, I said hello to my uncle when I went to the countryside."
What he meant was that this matter was not his own decision.
After that, the old lady looked to the side, wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "Such a pretty girl must be the grandson's wife, right?"
"Hello, grandma. My name is Yang Liu."
Then she said to the child in her arms, "Wood, Stone, hurry up and call for help."
The two brothers looked at each other and said in unison, "Hello, great-grandmother."
"Oh, okay, you're so good, come here and let me hug you."
The old couple looked very strong, and Yang Liu was afraid that she would sprain her waist, so she was a little hesitant. After all, the two brothers had gained a lot of weight now, and people with less strength would not be able to hold them.
Seeing Chu Yue nodded at her, Yang Liu handed the child over.
The old lady held the child tightly and refused to let go. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were so deep from joy that they became several times deeper.
Chu Yue then introduced the other people to Yang Liu one by one.
Mei Nan took her hand very kindly, and said jokingly with a smile, "When you two weren't here just now, Grandpa and Grandma were still arguing about how to make the pork belly. Now that they see your two fat kids, they've forgotten about it."
The old couple each held a child, and the two brothers were not shy, so they had a lot of fun.
They knew there were children there today, so the family bought a lot of snacks. Shitou was very satisfied with the food fed by his great-grandmother, and his little mouth was eating happily.
Chu Yue's uncle Ye Tianwen and aunt Liu Runying are both in the army. When they knew their nephew was coming back today, they also asked for leave, but they didn't arrive so early.
Ye Heping poured each of them a cup of tea, then asked, "Cousin, you passed the exam this time. What major did you choose?"
"Aerospace."
"Then why didn't you apply to a school in the capital? It seems that the schools in the capital are better for this major." Ye Fanhua, who was sitting with his legs crossed and eating melon seeds, immediately interrupted.
His elder brother glanced at him and said, "You can't get into college, and you don't understand these things, so stop making such absurd remarks."
Chu Yue continued, "Fanhua is right, but my family is all here, so I applied to the school here so that we can get together more often in the future."
"That's fine. After all, Shanghai Jiao Tong University is a nationally ranked university."
The men were talking about these things. Mei Nan was afraid that Yang Liu would feel bored alone, so she pulled her to sit on the balcony, made her some scented tea, and brought her some fruit snacks.
Yang Liu felt embarrassed to see her busying around, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to work so hard, just sit down and rest for a while."
"I'm not busy at all. I just knew you were coming today, so all these things were arranged by my grandparents. I'm also taking advantage of your family."
"By the way, how long does it take to get from your hometown to Shanghai by bus? Is it safe in the car?"
Mei Nan peeled an orange for Yang Liu and handed it to her.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"It's been a day and a night, but luckily, we take turns sleeping."
Mei Nan talked to Yang Liu in a disjointed manner. Although she was polite in her words, Yang Liu always felt that her words were insincere.
It gives you the feeling that she wants to ask you something, but she doesn't say it directly.
After all, it was their first meeting, so Yang Liu didn't want to be too direct and didn't ask. She thought that if she really wanted to ask, she would definitely ask when the time came.
After a while, Ye Tianwen and the couple came back. The family sat and talked for a while, then started to eat.
At the dinner table, Ye Fanhua had already taken out the fine wine that his father had collected for many years. He filled a glass for everyone present who could drink and did not forget to make a speech: "Today is the day when my cousin and his family are coming home. Our family is reunited. We must not leave until we are drunk."
Ye Heping exposed him mercilessly, "I think you are thinking about Dad's good bar."
"Brother, how could you miss me like that? Although I miss the wine, I am mainly happy that my cousins are back."
Everyone smiled and saw through it but didn't say anything.
It is well known that he has no other hobbies except drinking.
The women and children all drank juice, but Yang Liu still stood up and toasted everyone.
Everyone in her family was very welcoming. Even though they knew she came from the countryside and her parents were farmers, they didn't show any contempt or disgust towards her. Instead, they were very respectful to her parents and said that farmers were the most respectable people.
Both the old man and the old lady came from that era. They are also the older generation of revolutionaries and have a deep awareness. It must be said that the family style of the whole family is very good, and there is no bad habit of despising the poor and loving the rich.
The meal was very enjoyable and the atmosphere at the table was very good. Worried that they might not be able to adapt after just arriving, the uncle also asked Ye Fanhua to help out more and asked him to run errands for anything the family needed.
Anyway, he doesn't do anything serious every day.
When they finally left, the old man and the old lady were reluctant to part with the wood and stone, so they asked them to stay here for one night before leaving. Chu Yue didn't care, but he was afraid that his wife would not be used to it. Seeing how warm they were, and how the old lady liked them two brothers so much, she really was reluctant to let go.
She agreed.
Chu Yue had lived here for a while before, and his room has been kept.
At night, when it was time to go to bed, the old couple insisted on bringing Mu Tou and Shi Tou over to sleep with them. They were worried that they would be shy, but after all, they were blood relatives. After spending a day together, the two brothers felt very fond of this kind old couple.
