Ye Laosi went to Qin's house to pick up Qingtian and brought him back to the dumpling restaurant, but he was still thinking about meeting his in-laws and didn't eat much of his lunch.
"Fourth Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Qingtian noticed something was wrong with Ye Laosi. After dinner, he went to the yard and found Ye Laosi pulling leaves from the trees.
"It's okay. Are you done eating? Isn't it time for a nap?"
Ye Laosi didn't know how to explain the matter of his in-laws to the child, so he changed the subject.
Qingtian shook his head and said, "Mom said I can't go to bed right after eating.
"Okay, then Fourth Uncle will take you for a walk, and you can go to bed when you come back, okay?"
Ye Laosi was feeling very confused and wanted to go out and relax.
"Okay!" Qingtian agreed happily.
So Ye Laosi took Qingtian out.
After Ye Ersao and Ye Sansao cleaned up the table and dishes and prepared to take Qingtian to bed, they discovered that the child was gone.
This scared the two of them a lot.
One of them searched every room one by one, while the other opened the door and went out to check.
Fortunately, there were a lot of people in the backyard of the dumpling restaurant recently. An embroiderer saw them looking for the child and quickly told them that Qingtian was taken away by Ye Laosi.
Only then did Mrs. Ye Er and Mrs. Ye San both breathe a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Ye complained, "Old Four is such a jerk. He took the child out without even saying hello.
"When he comes back, I'll have to give him a good scolding!"
Mrs. Ye looked at the bright sun overhead and said worriedly, "Old Four went out on a sunny day without a hat for the child. The sun is so strong, don't let the child get sunburned!"
"I don't think so..." Mrs. Ye San said this without much confidence.
Although Qingtian was not the kind of child who grew up in a pampered environment, he suffered a lot in his childhood.
But in the past six months or so, Mrs. Ye has taken good care of her and made her look tender and delicate.
"Let's go out and look for him. You go east and I'll go west!" said Mrs. Ye. "He's carrying a child, so he shouldn't be able to get far."
As a result, the two of them went out and searched all the surrounding alleys, but they didn't see Ye Laosi and Qingtian.
"Where could this fourth brother take the child?"
"Yeah, after taking a nap on Qingtian, I have to go to Madam Lu's place!"
Both Ye Ersao and Ye Sansao were sweating profusely. After they reunited at the back door of the dumpling restaurant, they all started to denounce Ye Lao Si.
"Do you think he's going to meet his in-laws with the child?"
"No way, what is he doing there?"
The two were discussing whether to go to Mrs. Ye's new restaurant to look for it when they saw Ye Laosi coming back holding Qingtian.
Mrs. Ye looked into his arms and saw that Qingtian’s little face was sunburned red.
"You're already an adult, why are you still so rude?
"He took the child out in the middle of the day without saying a word. Look how sunburned the child's face is."
Mrs. Ye quickly took Qingtian from Ye Laosi's arms, reached out and gently touched Qingtian's little face, and asked worriedly, "Does it hurt?"
"Second Aunt, I'm fine, just a little hot." Qingtian said quickly, "Don't blame Fourth Uncle, I wanted to go to the river to see the little fish, so Fourth Uncle took me there."
"Okay!" Seeing Ye Laosi's lost soul look, Ye Ersao also knew why. Qingtian's words were definitely to cover up for her.
But no matter what you say to him now, he probably won't listen.
Ye Ersao quickly brought Qingtian back to the house and got a cool towel to apply to her face.
Mrs. Ye San couldn't help herself, and she stood outside the door and scolded Ye Lao Si. Then she turned back to the house and asked, "Are you okay? Are you not sunburned?"
"Fortunately, it's just a large area that's reddened. It shouldn't be to the extent of sunburn." Mrs. Ye felt distressed as she helped Qingtian apply a facial mask on his cheek.
Before Mrs. Ye went out today, she specifically told her to help take care of Qingtian at noon.
As a result, while she was clearing the table, Ye Laosi took the child out and left him in the sun like this.
What if the child gets sunburned?
Qingtian said obediently: "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, I'm fine."
Seeing this, the embroiderers also came over to see what was going on.
"Oh, children's skin is very delicate and cannot stand the sun."
"Would it be better if I leave it on for a while longer and then apply some facial cream when the redness subsides?"
"I know you can't put on facial cream. There's a clinic in Dangui Hutong that has a plaster specifically for sunburn.
"I once got a sunburn on my face that caused it to peel, and I used his ointment.
"Look, can't you see it at all?
"The ointment feels cool and refreshing, and there's no medicinal smell. It feels very comfortable when applied."
When Mrs. Ye San heard this, she immediately turned around and sent Ye Lao Si to Dangui Hutong to buy ointment for Qingtian.
"Remember to ask clearly whether this plaster can be used by children. If it can be used, then buy more. If it can't be used, come back quickly." Mrs. Ye was afraid that he would be confused again, so she gave him a special reminder.
Ye Laosi was already feeling very guilty, so seeing this, he hurried out to buy some ointment for Qingtian.
Not long after he left, Old Lady Ye and a few others came back.
Seeing the sad look on Old Lady Ye’s face, Second Sister-in-law Ye and Third Sister-in-law Ye were both frightened.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Mrs. Ye asked quickly.
Mrs. Ye carried Qingtian to the door of the house, waiting nervously for Old Lady Ye to speak.
Could it be that the in-laws haven't reached an agreement?
Mrs. Ye quickly said, "It's okay. The conversation went well. The Zhou family members are all very easy to talk to."
Sister-in-law Ye heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "Mom, it's a good thing that the fourth child went out to buy something, otherwise he would have been frightened to tears by your expression!"
Mrs. Ye asked in confusion, "Since things are going well, why isn't mother happy at all?"
Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Shao both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know either.
Brother Ye immediately discovered the precious daughter held by Mrs. Ye.
Looking at the handkerchief on her face, Boss Ye asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Qingtian? Do you have a fever?"
"Oh, it's the fourth brother again..." Mrs. Ye immediately told everyone what happened at noon.
Mrs. Ye also hurried over to check Qingtian's face, and was relieved to find that there was nothing serious.
"It's just a short while, it's okay."
Not long after, Ye Laosi came back with the ointment. When he saw the carriage parked in the yard, he knew that his family had returned.
His hurried steps suddenly stopped, and he hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to go in.
But when he saw the ointment in his hand and thought of his sunburned face on a sunny day, Ye Laosi gritted his teeth, lifted the curtain and went into the house.
When Mrs. Ye saw him come in, she immediately made a gesture to keep quiet, then walked over to him and whispered, "Give me the ointment, Mother and Qingtian are both taking a nap.
"Don't worry, the marriage is a success, just wait for your wedding!"
When Ye Laosi heard this, a smile immediately broke out on his face.
