Mrs. Ye Er held the silver ingots in both hands and was unable to free her hands. She was happy to listen to him at first, but later, seeing that he kept talking and the other people in the family were still waiting nearby, she could only glare at Ye Lao Er and signal him to restrain himself.
But Ye Lao Er felt so accomplished when he saw his wife's look that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.
It was not until Old Lady Ye greeted him several times that Second Ye hurried into the restaurant.
As he walked, he whispered to Mrs. Ye Er, "Now that the autumn harvest is over, I don't have much to do, and I have time to accompany you to look at the shops.
"Since we have money this time, let's just buy you something you like right away, okay?"
Hearing him even say this, Mrs. Ye was certain that this man had lost his mind today.
I don’t know if it was because I drank in the palace, or because I was too flattered by the emperor’s personal praise.
This is the capital city. Do you think you can buy whatever you want just because you got a few silver ingots?
However, considering his kindness, Mrs. Ye Er did not criticize him. Instead, she smiled at him very gently.
Ye Laoer felt like he was about to get drunk before he even sat down at the table.
The whole family hadn't gotten together for a long time. Mrs. Ye led the kitchen staff to show off their skills and cooked a large table of dishes.
The adults were still able to control themselves a little, but the children had not eaten Mrs. Ye's food for a long time. Besides, as the saying goes, the little brats will eat their parents out of money.
I'm talking about children of this age group.
They have grown taller and are full of energy now. Their daily food intake is almost twice that of their father.
Even Old Lady Ye was amazed at the way they devoured the food.
"Every one of you is like a herd of sheep passing by, you have eaten all the grass roots and tree bark clean, leaving nothing behind.
"Thank goodness your parents are capable of supporting themselves, otherwise you five wolf cubs would have eaten all of it, right?"
Mrs. Ye brought over a large pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms and said with a smile, "Eat whatever you want. No matter how much you can eat, I will give you enough.
"But I have only one request, and that is you are not allowed to hold yourself up. Qingtian will supervise the brothers here, okay?"
"Okay!" Qingtian naturally agreed.
As soon as the five little boys saw their sister, they behaved as well as cats.
They didn't even bother to eat and took out the small gifts they had recently prepared for Qingtian from their pockets.
They are all valuable things.
Some were leaves with nice shapes or colors, some were beautiful little stones picked up from the riverside, and Ye Changnian didn't know where he got a few Beijing octagonal stones of good shapes and sizes. He took them out of his arms and refused to show them to others, and just stuffed them directly into Qingtian's hands.
But a few of the older brothers still saw it.
"Okay, Nian Nian, when did you sneak up the mountain to pick walnuts?"
"Did you skip class? No, you attended all your classes with me..."
"Niannian, tell me the truth, where did you get this thing from?"
"If you don't explain clearly, we'll go to your father and tell him you were skipping school to pick pecans."
I was asked this question every year and had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Actually, I bought these candies with my pocket money and then traded them with others."
That's very possible.
Sugar is still a rare commodity in the countryside nowadays. In places like Rongxi Village, it is difficult for children to get a few pieces of candy even during the Chinese New Year.
Nowadays, you can exchange walnuts for sugar just by picking them, so why not do it!
"Actually, I've exchanged a lot of them, but some are not in good condition. These are the best looking ones I picked out."
"Okay, kid, no wonder you've been asking me for candy lately. It turns out you're trying to exchange it for Jing Ba Ling!"
"Yes, he also asked me for candy."
"I gave him quite a bit!"
"Then this isn't a gift you gave yourself. It should be considered a gift from all of us to your sister!"
The children were arguing loudly.
But Ye Changnian put his hands on his hips and repeatedly denied their claims.
"Why, you still don't want to admit it?"
"Of course I don't admit it!" Ye Changnian said confidently, "I saved my own candy to exchange for walnuts for Qingtian, and your candy was given to me by you.
"Don't bully me because I'm young. I can calculate this very clearly, okay!" Ye Changnian said loudly.
For a moment, everyone in the room started laughing.
"With such a brain, it would be a waste if I didn't go into business."
"He won't last long in business. I think he looks like a profiteer."
"It's good to be a profiteer! Profiteers can make more money!"
Seeing that her sons had just drunk some wine and were about to start talking nonsense, Old Lady Ye signaled to the children that they could go out and play after they had eaten their fill.
The meal lasted for more than an hour before it came to an end.
Seeing that the brothers were drunk, Old Lady Ye swallowed back what she had wanted to say.
There is no need to rush, let them have a good rest first.
Who would have thought that these people would wake up early the next morning.
Because everyone ate and drank a lot the day before, some of them were still hungover and didn't seem to have a very good appetite.
Mrs. Ye simply made a big pot of dumpling soup. After drinking a bowl of it hot, even the hangover from yesterday was relieved a lot.
When Old Lady Ye saw that her four sons had regained consciousness, she left them alone after dinner and then prepared to talk business.
