Just as the marble rolled across the red line boundary, the five brothers of the Ye family and Qingtian cheered at the same time.
"I'm back, I'm really back!"
"Second brother, you are so amazing! I told you that you can do it!"
"My second brother always won when he played marbles in our village."
Ye Changhan was unconvinced and said, "You guys are too happy too early. You haven't stopped yet. You might as well keep rolling out!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately fell silent again, staring intently at the marbles on the ground, not daring to breathe, for fear that their breathing would be too strong and affect the direction of the marbles.
This situation is actually very common. Children play marbles outside, often on uneven dirt roads, and there are countless accidents caused by the uneven ground.
It’s just that everyone was playing on the stone brick floor in the general’s house at this time, and they thought it was flat, but they didn’t expect that there was a slight slope.
Ye Changxue's marble rolled slower and slower, and finally stopped in the middle of the base camp.
"We win, we win!" Qingtian was the first to cheer. "Brother, you won so many marbles in one go!"
Ye Changxue had not expected the final result to be like this. He immediately ran up with great joy, picked up his own marbles first, and then picked up the four marbles that popped out of the base camp one by one.
After returning, he blew on his marble proudly and said, "This is my ever-victorious general! Do you accept it?"
Ye Changhan naturally refused to accept it and said, "It was just a fluke just now, thanks to the uneven ground.
"Let's play another round, do you dare?"
"Why wouldn't I be afraid of that?" Ye Changxue happily accepted the challenge. "Forget just one round, I'll fight you through eight or ten."
So the two of them lay on the ground and started a new round of competition.
The other children gathered around to watch the fun.
Seeing that Qingtian was cheering Ye Changxue up, Ye Changkun also started to cheer for Ye Changhan.
"Brother, go ahead and win him over!"
"Hey, brother, did you use too much strength?"
"This won't work. I don't have enough strength."
"Brother, what's wrong with you? You've lost several games in a row. Fight back!"
Ye Changhan lost several marbles in a row, and seeing Ye Changxue winning repeatedly as if with divine help, he was already feeling a little impatient.
Hearing Ye Changkun's constant chatter in his ear, he became increasingly upset. He turned around and yelled, "Shut up! You've already made me lose even though I could have won!"
Ye Changkun was yelled at and said with a wronged look on his face: "Isn't Qingtian also cheering for Brother Changxue?"
"How can that be the same?" Ye Changhan rolled his eyes at him, "You're not my sister!"
"Hmph!" Ye Changkun became angry upon hearing this and turned around and ran into the inner room.
"Mom, my brother bullied me!" Ye Changkun complained to Shao in a wronged manner.
However, Shao was used to such scenes and asked without even raising his eyelids: "How did I bully you?"
"Big brother despises me for being a younger brother, not a younger sister." Ye Changkun looked up at Shao pitifully and said, "Mom, can you give me a younger sister, please?"
Everyone in the room was amused by his jumping thoughts.
Mrs. Shao was also at a loss for words. She rubbed her youngest son's head and said to him, "Do you think having a child is that easy? You can have a sister just because you want one? Go out and have fun!"
Ye Changkun was young and had no idea where children came from. When he heard Shao say that it was not easy, he had to run out regretfully and continue to watch the marble competition in the outer room.
Mrs. Ye looked at Shao's expression and whispered, "If you want one too, you'd better hurry up and have another one while you're still young. Don't put it off any longer."
Shao lowered her voice and said, “To be honest with you, sister-in-law, of course I want a caring daughter.
“But we have just arrived in Beijing and Qingshan’s position is not yet secure, so I still have some concerns.
"Let's leave it at that for this year. We'll see how things go next year."
Mrs. Ye didn't know about Ye Qingshan's condition, but when she thought about how Ye Laosi came back with such serious injuries when he went out to do business this time, she realized that Ye Laosi was not the one who had the most problems.
It can be seen that even if Ye Qingshan returns to Beijing, he will still have to face many difficulties and dangers.
In this situation, it is indeed inconvenient to have children.
"Yeah, there's no need to rush this kind of thing. The bond between adults and children also depends on fate.
"Just like us and sunny days, it is fate.
"So don't think too much, just let it go.
"When the time is right, the child will come to you on his own initiative."
"That's great! I just want a smart and clever girl like Qingtian."
Before Shao finished speaking, he heard another round of cheers coming from the outer room.
Among them, Qingtian’s voice was the loudest: “Second brother, you are so awesome, I knew you could win!
"Second brother, compete with him again and win all his marbles!"
Mrs. Ye couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand, turned her head and asked Shao: "Do you want more?"
Shao also chuckled and nodded, saying, "It's better for girls to be more practical so that they won't be bullied in the future."
The competition outside had already entered a fierce stage, and the situations of the two people were almost reversed from before.
Ye Changhan was a rich man with dozens of marbles just now, but now he only has two left.
However, Ye Changxue, who originally had only one marble left, turned the tables. His waist pouch was stuffed full of marbles he had just won, and it was so full that it could hardly hold any more.
Hearing Qingtian cheering for Ye Changxue, Ye Changhan secretly wiped the sweat from his palms and said a little aggrievedly: "Qingtian, I'm your brother too. Why do you only cheer for Changxue and not for me?"
