The adults had no idea that the twins were being bullied, and were shocked when they heard this out of the blue.
"What?"
"Who bullied Changzhao and Changfeng?"
"What's going on?"
Mrs. Ye Er hurried downstairs and pulled her two sons to her side to check them up and down.
"Who bullied you? Are you hurt?"
Ye Changzhao quickly said, "Mom, it's okay. We were just out this afternoon when a few kids suddenly rushed out and pushed us into the snow pile on the side of the road."
Ye Changfeng also whispered: "Mom, we are not injured."
Mrs. Ye pulled her son over and asked, "What's going on? Tell me now!"
Ye Changxue knew it in his heart, but he was not very good at expressing it to others. Finally, he said simply, "Anyway, it's Wang Er Niang who is doing bad things behind our backs, saying bad things about our family to the villagers. Now everyone in the village wants to stay away from us."
The adults were confused and turned to look at Qingtian.
But Qingtian really didn't know about what happened today. She was just busy watching her brothers set off firecrackers.
Mrs. Ye said disdainfully to her son, "I told you to study hard, but you didn't take it seriously. You're already grown up, but you can't even speak as well as Qingtian!"
Ye Changxue said apologetically, "Why don't you ask your uncle tomorrow? He was there at the time. If I don't understand something, he can always explain it to me."
"Forget it. Why ask on New Year's Day? Let's talk about it later." Old Mrs. Ye said, "Since you're back, go somewhere else. If you want to play, play inside. If you feel sleepy, take a nap. I'll wake you up in the middle of the night to eat dumplings."
The children are very excited at this moment and not sleepy at all.
Seeing the adults playing cards on the kang in the east room, they all ran to the kang in the west room to play.
Anyway, the kangs on both sides had already been heated, so the adults didn't pay any attention to them.
But the children closed the door and discussed other things.
"That Madam Wang Er is so mean. We didn't provoke her, so why would she say bad things about our family?"
"Didn't my uncle say that she has a grudge against my aunt? Maybe she thinks our family has a good relationship with my aunt's family, so she wants to do something bad to our family."
"Who cares why she said that!" Ye Changxue said arrogantly, "As long as she said it, it's her problem. Why does it matter?
He looked at Ye Changrui and asked, "Brother, are we just going to endure this?"
Before Ye Changrui could say anything, Ye Changzhao jumped up and said, "That's impossible! We absolutely cannot let him go!"
Ye Changrui was still a little hesitant. He was the most educated person in the family, so he always opposed Ye Changxue's impulsive behavior.
Seeing this, Ye Changzhao lowered his eyes and said, "Actually, my third brother and I haven't been bullied.
"I'm just worried that after the Lunar New Year, we'll all go to private school, and Qingtian will be left alone at home...
"What if the children in the village bully her?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Ye Changxue and Ye Changzhao, who had been unable to contain themselves for a long time, but even Ye Changrui, who was still hesitating just now, suddenly became angry.
"We can't let her get away with it. We must find a way to punish her!"
The brothers plotted in the house for a long time, and then said to Ye Changnian, "Just stay at home and watch the sunny day. We'll go out for a while and be back soon."
After a few people finished talking, they didn't even go out the door because they were afraid of being discovered by the adults, but directly climbed out through the back window.
Qingtian looked out the rear window, then turned to look at Ye Changnian.
"Brother Nian Nian, what happened to them? Where have they been?"
Ye Changnian immediately took out the nine-linked ring and stuffed it into Qingtian's hand, saying, "They wanted to go out and set off fireworks, but they were afraid the adults wouldn't agree, so they sneaked out."
Qingtian turned her head to look at the cabinet beside her. If all the firecrackers were not placed there, she might have really believed it.
Ye Changnian followed Qingtian's gaze, coughed a few times, and then said, "They are too careless. They even forgot to take the cannon. They will definitely have to come back soon.
"Sunny, look, I took it apart like this yesterday, and I felt like I might be able to get it out!"
Ye Changnian changed the subject in time and drew Qingtian's attention back to the Nine Rings. The two of them worked head to head to study how to disassemble it, and soon the topic of the brothers' departure was diverted.
The four brothers went out for a long time and never came back.
Not to mention Qingtian who could read a pocket watch, even Ye Changnian couldn't help but get impatient.
The sounds of adults clearing the table and opening the door could be heard from the house opposite.
I'm preparing to cook dumplings. If I don't come back soon, I won't be able to hide it anymore.
Fortunately, at this tense moment, the rear window clicked and was pushed open.
Ye Changzhao and Ye Changfeng were carried in first.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Changrui and Ye Changxue also climbed into the house.
"How is it?" Ye Changnian asked impatiently.
The four brothers smiled at each other.
Ye Changxue said: "When I went there, I happened to meet my uncle, and we taught Madam Wang Er a lesson together.
Ye Changrui even kept it a secret and said, "Alright, stop asking. You'll find out tomorrow!"
At this moment, the door was opened by Mrs. Ye San and she asked, "What will we know tomorrow?"
Ye Changxue immediately said, "Qingtian asked if anyone would come to our house to wish us a happy new year tomorrow, and I said we'd know tomorrow."
"What you said is really the same as if you didn't say anything!" Mrs. Ye laughed at her son and then said, "Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat dumplings!"
I made dumplings with cabbage and pork filling in the afternoon, and they are now in the pot and cooking.
The plump white dumplings rolled up and down in the big pot, and Mrs. Ye added cold water into it from time to time.
