Looking at everything around her and listening to everyone talking, Ye Jiayue felt a little dazed. She had only been away for half a year, so how come the village had changed so much?
Boss Ye put away all the things he had brought back and came out. Seeing Ye Jiayue still standing in the yard, he asked, "Excuse me, whose daughter is this? She looks unfamiliar, but are you here to sell wild vegetables? I buy both dandelions and shepherd's purse."
Ye Jiayue quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I came to..."
Before she could finish her words, someone nearby recognized her.
"Isn't this Jiayue?" the man said, introducing her to Boss Ye. "She's the eldest daughter of Ye Juan'er's family. She should call you cousin!"
As soon as he heard that it was Ye Juaner's family, Boss Ye immediately became enthusiastic.
"So it's Jiayue. I've heard my cousin mention her before, but I've never seen her.
"Please come in, my aunt and uncle are both inside!"
Boss Ye brought Ye Jiayue into the house, and sure enough, he saw Ye Juaner and Liu Quan sitting on the kang with a pot of dandelions in front of them, picking vegetables and peeling roots!
In addition to the two of them, the village chief's wife and Ye Dongkui's wife were also busy on the kang.
"Aunt, look who's here." Boss Ye said to Ye Juaner, who was so busy that she didn't even raise her head.
When Ye Juaner looked up and saw her daughter, she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became happy. She dropped the dandelion in her hand and went straight to the ground and said, "Jiayue, why did you come back so suddenly? Did you come back by yourself?"
"No, Ding Chengchun is at the door with the two children!" Ye Jiayue said, "Isn't it because I'm not busy at home lately, so I thought I'd come back to see you?"
As soon as he heard that his son-in-law and children had returned, Liu Quan hurried down to the fields.
The others on the kang also said, "Now that your daughter is back, you two should stop busying around here and go back quickly."
Boss Ye said, "Then call your brother-in-law and the children in!"
"No, no, let's go home first and come back in the afternoon." Ye Juan'er declined.
Ye Jiayue quickly said, "Mom, I always heard you say that you would ask your aunt to help our family, but I have never seen her.
"I brought some things for my aunt when I came back this time."
Ye Jiayue said this with some hesitation, after all, she didn't know the situation before coming.
Now looking at the two piles of work in Old Ye’s yard and house, I don’t know if the things I brought can be presented. Will they be disliked?
"Sister Jiayue is so thoughtful. How can I feel embarrassed about this?"
Ye Jiayue quickly added, "They are all our own things, not worth much."
But Boss Ye didn't hear her words at all. He walked out directly and pulled back Old Lady Ye who was standing next to Qingtian.
"Mom, look, this is Jiayue, didn't you say before that you had never seen her?
"She came all the way back to her parents' home and brought you something!"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Ye grabbed Ye Jiayue's hand and said, "You look exactly like your mother!
"I've always heard your mother talk about you, but I've never been able to see you in person. Today I finally get to see you.
"You are the same, kid. You came all the way back to bring something for your parents.
"Why are you still thinking about me, an old lady? I feel so sorry for you!"
"Aunt, my mother said that my Xiang Lei was able to go to the capital to be an apprentice thanks to your family's help.
"Now that I'm married and my two younger brothers are away from home, my parents rely on your family for help with anything they need in the village. I can't thank you enough!"
"Don't listen to your mother's exaggerations. We all live in the same village, isn't it normal for us to help each other?" Old Madam Ye kept holding Ye Jiayue's hand and refused to let go. She turned to Boss Ye and ordered, "Go out and call your brother-in-law and the two children in."
Soon, Boss Ye brought Ding Chengchun and the two children in.
Ye Jiayue and Ding Chengchun have three children in total, the youngest of whom is only a few months old.
She hasn't been back to her parents' home for a long time because of pregnancy, childbirth and taking care of the child.
Because the third child was too young, I didn’t bring him back this time.
Ye Jiayue winked at Ding Chengchun and said, "This is the aunt I always told you about. Hurry and call someone."
"Aunt, these are some things I brought from home. Please don't mind." Ding Chengchun understood his wife's gesture and quickly handed the things in his hand to Old Mrs. Ye.
They brought with them a bag of millet and a loin of bacon.
This is considered a generous gift when visiting relatives in the countryside.
Seeing that Old Lady Ye accepted the things without showing any disgust, Ye Jiayue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She then said to the two children, "Hurry up and call for help. Are you all mute? Call for your aunt."
"Auntie!" the two children shouted in unison.
"Hey, good boy, good boy!" Old Madam Ye handed the things to Third Sister-in-law Ye and bent down to ask the two children, "Tell your aunt, what are your names? How old are you this year?"
"Grandma, my name is Ding Zhiyu, I'm seven years old, and my sister is Ding Hongyun, she's four years old."
"Okay, I'll remember that, great aunt." Old Mrs. Ye said as she walked into the house, took out two purses from the drawer of the kangqin, and stuffed them into the hands of the two children.
The two children were well-educated and refused to take the purse. They turned to look at Ye Jiayue.
"Auntie, what are you doing..."
"This is a gift from me to the children. Don't bother to fight with me." Old Madam Ye put the purse directly into the two children's arms and said, "Don't look at your mother. This is a gift from your great aunt. Keep it."
Seeing that her parents had no objection, Ye Jiayue said to the two children, "Why don't you hurry up and thank your aunt and uncle?"
"Thank you, great aunt."
